Criminal Prosecutions Talked About
The particulars of the fraudulent
Sugg Fort claim have already been
made public through the medium of
these dispatches. The Treasury De-
partment has just been advised by the
United States Attorney for the Middle
District of Tennessee that the suit in
stituted to recover the S23, 700 paid out
has been decided in favor of the Gov
eminent. The civil suit having been
brought to a successful determination,
the Treasury Department holds that
criminal suits should be brought in
that District against ex-Representative
Butler, of Tennessee, aud the others
through whose false representations
the Department was induced to pay
the money. Accordingly to-day Mr.,
Buford Wilson, Solicitor Of The Treas
ury, addressed a letter to the United
States Attorney for the District Of Col.

facts of the case, and suggesting the

Will the Case be Tried Again.

Whatever further legal proceedings
may grow out of the case, it is not
probable that the suit for damages will
ever be tried again. All the evidence
that Tilton can ever produce has been
put forth the letters of the defendant
have been read, and Mr.. Beecher has
been submitted to the most searching
cross-eXamination. The plaintiff cam
not make his case any stronger a
second time than it was the first. And
it is a significant fact that the jury
divided only upon question of the
credibllity of certain witnesses. All
seem to have agreed that Mr.. Beecher's
letters, which caused 50 much pain
and embarrassment to his friends,
were capable OF an innocent explana-
tion, or at any rate did not prove the
guilt which Tilton alleged. Three of
the twelve, however, could not bring
themselves to say that Mrs. Moulton
swore falsely, and one Of the three was
an acquaintance some say friend
of Mrs. Moulton's husband. Consid-
ering everything it does seem as If Til
ton had made very narrow escape,
while the friends of Mr. Beecher have
good reason TO regard the end of the
trial as a substantial justification of
the confidence they have reposed in
their pastor during his troubles-a con-
fidence which is sure to be manifested
now with redoubled warmth. Enthu-
siasms are infectious, and so we may
expect to see the number of Mr..
Beecher's supporters increase with
great rapidity, and his influence-at
least for time-to become greater
than it has been at any day since the
scandal was first dragged into the
light. Tribune.

simple thing called the wheelbarrow {?
Why, no less a man than Leonardo de

And who was he?
He was a musician, poet. painter, arch
itect, sculptor, Psychologist, engineer,
natural historian, botanist, and inventor.

trades and master at none" either. He
was a real master of many arts, and a
practical worker besides,
When did he live?
Somewhere about the time Columbus
discovered America.
And where was he born?
In the beautiful city of Florence in
Italy.
Perhaps some of you may feel little
acquainted with him whe | tell you that
it was Leonardo de Vinci who painted
one of the grandest pictures in the world

has been copied many times, and engrav-
in several styles, so that almost every
one has an idea of the arrangement and
position at the table of the figures of our

no one can form q notion of how grand
and beautiful it is.

While woman, weak, and unprepared
To face the frowns of life,
Is trodden down, nor is it cared
How ends ,OiM her the strife
It's said that Eve to Adam gave
The apple from the tree,
But times have changed and man, the

With selfish hand we see
Now plucking fruit more dear than life,
And giving woman, what2
The refuse with corruption ripe.
But good he giueh not
On friend how can such mousirous wrong,
Exist in Christion land
Oh, Lord of all, how long, how long
Shall such injustice stand
Send forth thy quick svenging sword
And smite with sudden woe,
The wretch, who, with fond loving words
Is 'oomda's deadly foe
And let thy people, Lord, soon learn
Thehelping hand to give
And sympathize with those who yeara
A better live to live.
And let US all, shun vain desires
Which well deserve the rod.

A Playful Zephyr.

The Burlington [Iowal Hd10keye says {:
" a little zephyr struck Floyd county
the other day and nearly turned it up
side down. 1t blew John Blarney's
house over, with Mrs. Barney aud the
children in it, rolled it over three times,
iammed it against a tree Sand tore it to
pieces, and the inmares were only slight
ly bruised. As postscript to all this we
would say that Mrs. Barney, who is
somewhat deaf, never desisted from her
knitting all tnat time, and when the final
crash came only looked up and said. Come

LOADER.
His Employers Say He Is n Liar and
Thief


Joseph Loader is an Englishman by
birth who was employed in the up
holstery business by various firms in
New York down to about 1865, when
he started in trade for himself. In
1868 he failed under discreditable cir
cumstances, and went through bank
ruptcy. From 1868 until the fall of
1870 he was practically out of business,
and at the time that he pretends to
have worked in Mr.. Tilton's house, he
did not reside in either the city of New
York or of Brooklyn, and did no bust
nessiin either. His employers in al
most every case, say Mr.. Beecher's
lawyers, give him the character of a
thOroughgoing liar, and in almost
every case parted with him under q
strong conviction that he was a thief.
1t was curious coincidence, say these
gentlemen, that, whenever he left a
place, piece of goods would be missed
of peculiar pattern, aud that when
he opened shop for himself, pieces of
that precise pattern were seen in his
window an extraordinary circum-
stance, because fashionable upholster-
ers buy all of a desirable pattern that
is to be had, and the pattern is not re-
newed. This is fact which any one
knows who has attempted to repair

SCOT as a Garden Fertilizer.

Perhaps it may have occurred to some
of our lady readers that the refuse SCOT
of our chimneys is one of the most
valuable stimulants ald fertilizers
they can have for their garden flowers
The following incident of practical ex-
perience is from a lady contributor to
the Rural CdrOlinidn: During two
seasons we nursed, fed and petted the
Hartford Prolific grape vine-as much
for its shade over the window as for its
fruit-but it persisted in remaining a
stunted cane yellow, and refusing to
climb. Despairing of shade, grapesand
roses, we finally bethought ourselves
of SCOT As a manure. and forthwith
made "soot tea" by sleeping a teacup
of SCOT in quart of water. This we
administered, two doses each, to both
the trees and the vine. The vine grew
six feet in height in the space OF six
weeks the rose bush four feet in the
same length of time-both thereafter
rejoiced in living green.-MdS8.

[Dcsnoines Special to tho Chicago Tribune.
On Saturday last Louis Walker died
at West Liberty. Before his death he
expressed the earnest desire that, if he
died, he should he buried on the farm
where he formerly lived, near Bev-
ington, station on the Winterset
Branch of the Rock Island road, about
Is miles from this city. The stricken
wife, filled with love for him, and with
a heart broken with sorrow and grief,
sought to fulfill.the wishes of her dead
husband. She procured a burial case,
started on her sad errand, and passed
through here on Monday. She arrived
at Bevington stranger to everybody.
OF the station agent she inquired as to
the location of the farm where her hus-
band was to be buried. The agent in
quire1 who it was that was to be
buried, and, on being told, he quickly
foresaw a very unpleasant affair. The
widow had come to bury her husband
on the premises of man whose
daughter, then at home, was the wife
of the deceased. The agent, after
some consideration, deemed it best to
inform the widow OF the facts. She
received the story with perfect aston.
ishment, and could scarcely believe
her late husband guilty of such base
ness; but on being assured it was so,
she became indignant, and left the
body with the citizens, to be conveyed
to wife No. | Whose first knowledge
for years of the whereabouts of her
husband was his arrival in burial

fit, and, taking the first train, she re-
turned to her home. Since her depart
ure, it has been discovered that Walk
er had still another wife in Missouri.

The City Election.

"A light vote vas cast yesterday for
City Trustees, there being but little
competition. An opposition ticket
was circulated, containing the name
of Mr.. a. Simmons, in place Of Mr..
Fisk, who was on the regular ticket.
The names of Messrs Ryan and Davis
appeared on both tickets. The result
is: The latter gentlemen have been
elected, and the vote on the third
trustee resulted in a tie vote, between
Messrs Fisk and Simmons, which will
necessitate another election, unless the
official cauvass of the vote should re-
suit differently.

Spotted Tail Is reported to be sad
and weary, realizing how badly he
missed Il last summer In not keeping
friendly with the Government. Instead
of passing a pleasant winter, as he
might have done, sliding around in an
Ulster overcoat, he has to shiver over
a pine log fire, while his squaws hang
around and growl because they have
no ''pin-backs."
