NEoeESE.-The above name is given
by NJ. Savage to a new white alloy
composed of copper 81 parts, zinc 27
parts, nickel II parts, tin 2 parts,
aluminium 0-5 part, and bismuth 0.5
part. 1t has silvery appearance, is
sonorous, tenacious, malleable, and
ductile, and is recommended for Jew
ely, as substitute for silver in plate,
and for low coinage. The new elements
in the combination are those of the
bismuth and aluminium. The alloy is
very homogeneous, and is susceptible of
a high polish.

VANILLINE.-At recent meeting of
the Paris Academy of Sciences, DR.. W.
A. Hoffman, announced that his two
students, NM. Tiemann and Haarman,
who had obtained vanilline (the aro-
matte principle of the vanilla beam
from pine sap, propose to manufacture
this substance on a large scale. The
sap of tree of medium height gives
vanilline to the value of S20, and the
wood is not injured by the extraction
of the sap. This will be the second
vegetable product manufactured by
purely chemical methods.

II Is no excuse for. Henry Ward Beecher
that Theodore Tilton was a harsh and un-
loving husband, if it be true. 1t does
not deny the truth of this accusa-
ton. that that was disturbed and dis
cordant household. 1t may he true. That
we will see about. 1t may have been an
encouragement to Henry Ward Beecher to
venture upon an assault upon its sacred
purity, but it is not justification for the act
and so through all these irrelevant and col
lateral Issues which have been forced upon
the Jury. Grant them all; Grant that
Theodore Tilton was the adorer of Victoria
Woodhull, as he was her eulOgist in her bio
graphy; grant that he was ediOus and de-
based in his habits grant that he trespassed
upon all the proprietie- of life aye, grant
that he was less than a man and viler than
the brute when, at Winsted, as they say, he
seduced the girl intrusted to his care grant
all this Is it an answer to the proof iii this
case does it overthrow the confession of the
defendant Does it wipe out these stormy
and emphatic letters over which my learned
friend passed so delicately and lightly? Does
it destroy the character and credibility of
the witnesses who revealed to you the his
tory Of his three years of penitence and re-
morse? And are we to be told, when evil
dence of this character is presented in "a court
of law, that the plaintiff is an immoral and
degraded libertine, and that therefore the
sin of the defendant shall go unpunishee and
the vice of his immorality unrebuked by the
Judgment of the law by the jury? Is party
in a court of justice, appealing to the Impair
tiality and equity of the law asking from his
fellow-men a legal consideration of his claims
and his rights, to be hunted from court by
epithets and denunciation? What sort of II
case is it, gentlemen, which demands this
advocacy, and how happens it that gentle
man capable of the loftiest legal efforts-a
gentleman claiming more than due share.
