TILToN ought to apologize to Beech
sr for not affording his wife's pastor
greater facilities for the commission of
adultery with Elizabeth. Beecher's
grounds of justification are becoming
as the leaves Of the forest. He had
right to commit adultery with Mrs.
Tilton because Theodore reproved her
for using bad grammar. Then, it ap-
pears that Beecher was authorized to
seduce Mrs. Tilton because Mr.. T.'s
appetite changed. Testimony was ad-
mitted showing that Mr.. Tilton de-
sired certain dishes at certain times
which he did not desire at others. If
the defense can establish the fact that
Tilten was fond of beef and beef-hash
for breakfast, and wasn't fond Of it
fer six-o'clock dinner, doubtless
Beecher ought TO be acquitted. Still
further the defense are endeavOring to
show, and by Bessie Turner's testims-
ny, that Beecher had right to seduce
Elizabeth because Theodore used to
change the position of the pictures on
the walls because he was particular
as to the kinll of bed he slept in; and
| because he told his wife she might
discharge certain nurse or not, as
she pleased. Doubtless, if it can be
proved that Tilton chose to move an
engraving of the Sistine Madonna to
the leeward side of the study, and to
put a copy of Leonardo da Vinci's
Last Supper on the windward side, or
if he preferred feather-bed to a bare
spring mattress, or if he thought that
wire bed-spring was preferable to an
ash-board. Beecher was justified in his
commission of adultery with Elizabeth.
If this is not the theory OF the defen Sc
why should all this testimony be ad.
initted? 1t has no bearing upon the
fact of adultery, and can only be put
in in Justification. But when will they
resume the trial of Beecher ?-En.

THIS being the month when the

New York correspondent vOuchsafes
some curious information respecting
the business of importing wild ami

animals, and has, indeed, no riyal on
the Continent. His busy season is
now at hand, and at his establishment
one may find the leading showmen of
the present day, who are replenishing
their assortment of attractions. Ele-
plants are quoted from $1,000 to $1,000
according to size and origin camsls
bring 5000, giratfes $1,000, zebras $1,000,
while lions range all the way from
$1,000 to $1,000. Leopards are quoted
at $500, and rhinoceroses at from S5,-
600 to $4,000. White bears are
quoted at Sl2OO; ostriches are worth
$500, and the anaconda is held at the
same price. Hyenas are worth $3.50,
while the hippopotamus costs the
enormus price of $4,000. Monkeys
range from S12 to $50, according TO
their intellectual status and general
development in the Darwinian theory.

Easter day is always the first Sun
day after the full moon, which hap
pens upon or next after the 2lst of
March, which also happens to be Sun
day. Therefore Easter falls Oh the
following Sunday, the 2Sth of March.
This is within six days of the earliest
period on which it can occur. The
earliest possible date for the occur
renee OF Easter is the 22d of March,
and the latest the 25th of April, These
extreme limits are, however. seldom
reached. In 1761 and 1918 Easter fell
on the 22d of March, but this will not
happen again, neither in this or the
following century. In 1913 it will fall
on the 23d of March. The latest Ea.t-
ers in this century and the following
will occur in 1856 and 1913, and on the
25th of April.-Miner's Journal,

WE have already commented upon
the futility of attempting 10 keep
white men out of the Black Hills if
there is really gold enough there to
pay for digging it. General Sherman's
declaration that he means to keep
them out means either that goid-min-
ing can be carried on there at a profit,
on which point we must say that the
weight of evidence. though not con-
elusive, is rather against him; or else
that General Sherman, rs soldier,
considers that he has nothing to do in
the matter but obey orders and try TO
maintain treaty stipulations. Wheth-
er he will succeed in doing so alto
gether depends upon the main ques-
tion about the existence OF gold. We
do not see that General Shermi has
any choice in the matter, and we do
not say that the accursed lust OF gold
is going to set any gold-hunters i'll
collision with United States troops.
But the history of civilization in this
country is one continual demOnstra-
tion that when white men desire any
part of it for any good or bad purpose
they will get ii, no matter what the
claims of Indians upon it may be.
So they will get the Black Hills, with
the proviso before mentioned, and the
blame for the violation of the treaty
upon the Government That makes
treaties which 1t ought to know it may
find impossible TO execute World.

Adulteration OF Food.

Under the operation of the Adulter-

technical legal bubbles have arisen as
to what constitutes an adulteratiOn
that it is become important to estab-

products of art which if venGed under
their proper names might perhaps be

So, we fear, would large proportion

that it should yield at least 80 per

FoR mendacious falsehoods the
Cleveland Leader can beat any paper
in the State. Its comments on the
late shooting affray in this town are a
tissue of lies from beginning to end,
wholly unwarranted by the facts in
the case. The attempt to raise a po-
litical issue upon the affair or to give
it partisan bias is most contemptibly
mean and malicious, and even the Re-
publican friends of the Leader pro-
nounce it false. There are those in
our midst, of both parties, and they
are not few, VINO think the matter de-
mands full and fair investigation,
and they denounce the efforts of the
Leader and all others to prevent such
investigation aud to forestall public
opinion in reference to the affair.

that his being Chairman of the APP

him to gloss over the financial man

COrreSpOH renee.
Rev. James Shaw, d. d., Pastor of
the Congregational Church for the past
Is years, resigned his pastorate over
the church some three weeks ago.
Would not have done so, but he was
informed that part of the church de-
sired a change. The church and soci-
ETY. held their annual meeting and took
action on his resignation. The society
voted to accept of his resignation; the
church voted separately, and was near
ly equally divided. There was a coun-
ell of few neighboring churches of
the same denomination, held here on
Wednesday, March 17th. They unan-
imousiy passed resolutions to recon-
mend the dissolution. How else could
they do, when the council was merely
formality without any powers beyond
the church? So L was Informed by
those that ought to know. 1 do not
see why Congregational people are not
democratic in principle.
Mr.. Shaw has won the esteem OF all
the citizens of this place, and is wor-
thy the confidence and support of any
church.
The third quarterly meeting of the
M. e. Church will be held on Thurs
day Eve, the 25th inst, Elder J. Trib-

Rev. j. p. Mills, pastor OF the church,
delivered very iile discourse last Sab
bath I've, from the text. Love is the
fulfilling of the law" Referred to the
creation, where God said, let Us make
man after our own IMAGE. The word
US he said meant God aud the earth
therefore, ali nature was in harmony,
aud bore the simiiitude of love. Chem
lists had found upon microscopic view,
that particles of metal were separate
from each other, as for example, take
bar of iron and wide space inter
venes between the particles, but ON
account of the law OF LOVE in nature,
the iron was kept together. So man,
made Of the earth, plrtOok of this si-
Multitude. Was thankful that nations
were becoming more in harmony with
this law, and instead OF war. arbitra-
ton was taking its place. Referred to
the family as AN example of this law
of love, where they had not corrupted
themselves by diSobedieuce to Gods
commandment. Alluded to the Il; W of
reciprocity as not ia harmony with
Gods law of love. He uttered some
forcible truths to the young people,
showing up the depravity OF the heart,
although To outward appearance it
might seem as though love was the
ruling principle, out the truth is love
WAS not in the heart. For illustration,
the young man That will lock arms
with his comrade and take him up To
the bar and treat him to liquor, was
not influenced by love. Other remarks
were made i'll the discourse, to young
ladies, which Were Undeuiabie, but
will not assume too much upon the
space in your paper. S.
