By any such unpleasant appar1tion than the
stony-hearted Goddess Of Liberty who stands
on TOP OF the DOME we warn the demon
not to descend to the ground If be does'
BAnxuM will have him, sure as fate,
md be will thereafter spread his dark
wings, and breathe his fiery breath.
and clutch his deadly claws in
neat cage, ct 25 cents adnittance,
children half-price. It is worth while, per-
haps. to say that A1r HEsGER's gloomy view
Of things dates from the time Of his recent
dismissal from the Secret Service Of ths Uu1t~
ed States, and that the "poor, prosecuted
Republicans to whom he aludes are bus
friends, Messrs. SPENCER, H1S0s- ct al The
thoroughly Trustworthy letters of our special
correspondent show that the sleeping serpent
hasn't swelled bit, up to date, and the ex-
perts of the Observatory at Washington have
failed to detect any signs Of the eerial ap-
proach of the wing~spreading, fre-breathing,
claw-clutching demon apostrorhized by the
mournfui HESTER.

Of perjury which would hAye shocked tho memoe1" u

Of ne,;ury xb,ch would hare shocked tho members Of
| the Sicilian nlafa.
| There is more of the same tenor, IN Which
the Nation says that, if there has been con
spiracy, Mr.. BEEcaEr himself was one OF the
| conspirators. It concludes BY sny1ng' IN e1-
feet, that it adopts this hypothesis Us less
sorrowful than the only other left, which 1s
that of nr. BEEcHEn's guilt.
This Judgment Of HESE1 WARp bEEcaER
must be accepted as that OF an 1ntenleen1'
candid, and ablo journal, with reputation
for fairness at stake, md made up with bias
in favor Of 3lr. BEEcEzR, If it has been ;nflu~
encc@l by any bias eitEer way. It is an un-
comfortable conclusion to career TINT
has been exceptionally brilliant, anu which
was ct one time cherished as q
sort OF national distinction. We have no de-
sire to add anything to the probabilities OF
this outcome of Ar. BEEcHEE's life; we can
not OH our present data, combat It, The
view taken by the Nation is remarkable one,
under the circumstances in which 1t Is put
forth; but it is rather in the nature OF pre-
,liction than judgment, aud depends so1ue~
HENRY WARD BEEcHEH still holds his head up,
keeps his church together, and has his friends
and partisans, who are as active in their synl-
pathies and rs hot in their antagonism rs
ever friends and partisans wore It nlny be,
however, tl4at they are all sustained by
false stimulant during tho trial, and TINT the
full reaction which the Natinn outlines will
come when the trial is over. Not that wo
think the verdict of the jury Cwhntovcr it
may be) will have en- appreciable influence
one way or the other; but the excitement
will then be over, and HENRY WARD BEEcHER
must stand or fall, 1ivs or die, survive or per-
ish, on the deliberate judgment of people
with whom fair play is a national character
istic He has had immense odds in this
struggle; and, it it shall turn ont that ha has
forfeited his claim to the admiration, love,
and respect of the American people, it will
appear in some unnaistakeble nnnner.

there vas $4,000 balance to tho credit of
the Library Fund But at the close of the
last year there was $1,soo,ooo of une1-
pended appropriations The Council, how
ever, while reeppropriating all this unex-
pended balance, does not cut OF new appro-
priat;ons for Any public institution except the
Library. The balance due the Library Fund
has not been collected, and is therefore un-
available. Tho Library has no revenue. #
the Council do not mike an appropriation
this year, the existing balance will be all that
will be available until July: 1877. This is
practically to close the Library as soon as the
present balance is exhausted

In tho latest Of the admirable letters on
the political and economic conditions OF the
South, which TIE TRIBUNE is now publish
ing, our correspondent sketched d CONVERSE
ton with some Alabama Republicans, eech
Of whom talked about things in general as
if be had had the jaundice several years, and
was in the habit Of wearing blue spectacles
besides. No names were given, but let
ter Just published by ono HnsrEn So
called Republican Of Alabama, shows by its
tone that be must have been one Of the
mourners. HESTER bewai1s in his letter the
"apathy" of the General Government. He.
wants Enforcement laws, hot and strong
and plenty Of EN- They ara the only
thing that can eave the "poor perse-
cuted Republicans Of the South from
all manner Of horrid evils. The evils,
in fact are unique Nothing like them
hns ever been heard OF before. III the
FIRST place, a "slecping serpent" will
:'crawl out ut full length, " will then "swell
mp and Will then, after becoming thus
elongate and fat, "run MI the negroes into
the swamps." We breathe q sigh OF reiaf
when We learn that this dastardly and mex
cusabls conduct OF the snoko will wake up
the slumbering lion OF American liberty hlr
HESTER does not inform Us what will happen
then, but We presume the slumbering lion will
mako the sleeping serpent wish he had never
heightened himself, and swelled himaelf, end
played the mischief with the negroes. Per-
haps ho will even wish he were dead. At
my rate, the two adders from the mud
banks OF Georgia and Mississippi -
by Which serpentins phrase Mr. HEsrKR
means Mossrs. GORDON and LAxAn-will have
stumped New Hampshire in win. It is not
quite clear whether the slumbering lion OF
American liberty will treat the adders in tho
same way IS the old. original swelled-up ser-
pent, hut We opino not, because it seems that
the adders have been masquorading in
"shecp's clothing" The brAvegt and widest
awake of lions might well be excused for de-
clining to interfere with an adder dressad in
abeep~skin. If the lion aforesaid neglects his
daty and fails to knock thu stuAdne out of
that svelled-up serpent: this unique national
nenagtris will be enriched by still another
specimen in the Shape Of a "Ku-K1u1
demon" which will "sprsad ita dark
wings, and breathe It's 6ery brpsth,
and o1utch its deadly claws over
the dome ot the National Capitol" We
do not know why tho demon should tzsat tha
Capitol With x4ch shocking dinenpect Hia

ECNRY WARD BEECHEE.

It cannot be said that the BEEcuER trial
has f*iled to influence public sentiment. It
will probably leave as many people in doubt
as there we're before but it has wrought
changes in individual belief notw outstanding.
Partisans Of Mr. BEEcBER have been struck
BY some salient points Of Mr. IhlroN's case,
and have either gone over to the other side
or have joined the vast army Of those who
know not what to believe. Pa1tisaos Of Mr.
TuToE have been affected similarly. Perhaps
the changes on either side will counterhs}enco
the othor, aud numerically the people may be
divided as before 4 conspicuous instance Of
the changes We have noted is found among
the New York newspapers, two or
three Of which have yeered around
completely from the tack in which
they started, aud which they held up to
certain point IN the trial The most recent
and notable example Of this change Of santi-
ment is furnished by the last number Of the
New York Natl0a- This Nation, in its preyi-
Gus expressions on the case, has had an un-
disguised leaning in favor Of Mr. BEEcHEE
and against Mr. TnToN. But, without aban-
doning its theory Of conspiracy, it now
throws over Alr, BzEcHn It's comment in
this instance has been elected by the recent
statement Of young Bowen, which it dis
misses, along NTH Ill similar contributions,
as no longer haying any interest, on account
Of the change in public sentiment. The no
tablc feature Of the Nations article is in &C.
counting for this change. It seys:
Tie reason Of this change see it. we shall Rtyr
frankly. It IA that the HENRY WAND pkEcusa

Gra6EhocperS and gourmands nave mel ana
the latter have conquered Tbs placa wns
Warrensburg, Mo-, aud the battle was fought
On dining-table. The victory Was perhaps
due to the fact that the gourmands were alive
aad the grasshoppers dead, If the latter, iu-
stead Of being few and 1ifeless, had been
many and vigorous, perhaps the cutters would
have been the eaten. At any rate, the con-
querorg would havo been conquered As it
was, however, the men OF Narreusburg Ind
everything their own way. They sat down,
si1 Of them, to grasshopper banquet. The
first dish was q thick soup, behaved with
locust legs and bodies, bat remark
ably good If it had been strained,
so Is to re1nove These traces of its
origin, it would have been taken for chicken
soup. The second course consisted OF the
same soup with seasoning added. It then
had fno muRhroom flavor. Cakes cane
next They consisted mainly of 'horpers
which had been mixed into the dough.
They wero all enten. Tho final dish was
made up of roasted locusts, plain "Al-
though" says Southern journalist, "no
grease was served with them," they were
found to be delicious. They were juicy and
crisp. Frogs legs and soft-sheu crabs we're
distanced The vqraclous hopper was vora-
ciously devoured. From tie standpoint OF
Northern cookery, we should be inclined to
congratulate the Missouri epicuros On the ab-
scnce Of the seasoning to which the
journalist aforesaid auudes. "Greaso and
grasshoppers is not an allu-ing title, but
then we are prejudiced Outside OF West
ern prairie or Southa1n plantation, grease il
not recognized as m essential ingredient Of
every dish. The Warrensburg epicures were
80 thoroughly satisfied with their repast that
they decided, rse1n-co7s., that JOIN the Bap-
tist was guilty Of wanton luxury when he
consumed not only loc,sts, but wild honey.
The former should have been enough in
themselves for any reasonable person,
and the protense to abstemious living
wne simply preposterous. Prof. RILEY, the
State Entomologist Of Missouri, while refrain
ing from any reflections upon JOHN the Bsp-
tist, confirms the Warrensburg view Of the
