From the Brooklyn Eagle, May71

The Brooklyn Eagle, in speaking Of
the probable duration Of the Beecher
trial, says the testimony yet to be intro.
duced in behalf Of the plaintiff will, it il
expected. be all in by Tuesday night, and
then the remainder Of the week will b
taken up by counsel for the defendant in
placing their testimony before the jury.
Ex-Judge Porter will commence his adj
dress on Monday, the 10th inst, and will
take the whole of the week in presenting
his view Of the case on behalf Of Defend
ant. The address Of Evarts, which will
be commenced on Monday, the 23d inst,
will probably occupy the remainder Of
the month and run over into June, and if
nothing unforeseen takes place the whole
Of the summing up, including the address
OF Beach on behalf ofthe plaintiff, will BE-
finished by the end Of the first week in
next month. Beach does not expect to
take up more titan three days in the pre-
senting Of plaintiffs side of the case to
the jury. Then will follow the charge Of
Judge Nelson and the deliberations BY
the jury, and the verdict may be looked
for by the middle Of next month.

The Decline 81 Partisan Journalism
One of the most noticeable passages in
MIR. Parke Goodwin s speech at the din.
ner to Carl Schurz was the veteran editors
view Of the present tendency to Independ-
emit Journalism. He said:
The journal, in the second place, is
rapidly rising to unexampled heights Of
influence. because it apprehends more
consciously and fully than ever before its
true place among the working forces Of
the higher propagsndism. Time was
when any politician might, by the contri-
button Of few dollars, esta blish his news.

Time was when any faction. whatever its
objects. might find venal writer's to bray
out its praises and to vituperate its oppo-
nents fer . small expenditure in dinners
or wine. or, when the hireliug better
knew his value, for . good fat
Office or two. But that time
| believe is passing away, and the press is
beginning to feel that its real might, its
real vitality, like its real dignity, lies in
the Independent and fearless indentifica
ton Of itself with the broadest interests,
the highest aims, the unclassed sympa-
thies Of the masses of society. Il feels
that it is an organ, not Of cliques, not
even Of parties, much less Of its individ-
ual directors, but Of civilization in its
broadcast and noblest tendencies. Through
it religion speaks its unsectarian benefi-
cence: through it science unfolds the
splendid wonders Of its discoveries;
through it politics fights the sleek wire-
pullers, the corruptionists and the plum
dere.s, in order to elevate the genuine,
the disinterested, the patriotic states
men; and through it the spirit Of human
ity will push forward those great reforms
in finance. in economy, and in social life,
which will enlighten ignorance. expose
selfishness, and lift the heavy burdens
from the downtrodden and the poor.

A Heroic Brakeman.

George B. Granger, brakeman on the
Boston & Lowell Railroad. has earned .
fame which will live for generations. He
was on the inward Montreal express,
April 9th. and when between Whining
ton and Woburn the coupling gave way
between two of the cars on tho forward
part Of the train, and the engine and two
or three Of the cars which were held
to it being thus relieved Of the
weight Of the half dozen cars behind i'm.
mediately ran away from them. When
the detachment took place the train Was
running at the rate Of IS miles per honr.
At this moment Granger was sitting ct
the window Of the last car in the first
part Of the train, and seeing the bell-repe
quickly draw. observed the break in .
second and Immediately jumped to action.
He knew tnat if the bell.rope sounded tho
engineers bell, the engineer
would stop the train and then the
rear part thereof would crash
against the front, 50 he rapidly pulled
the rope toward him from the rear, and
speedily detached it. He then ran
through the train, clambcred over the
engines tender, in order to. cause the
engineer to accelerate his speed 50 rs to
keep'out Of the way Of the rear part.
Realizing, moreover, that the first inn
pulse Of the engineer, who stood
with one hand on the lever, would b.
to stop the train, he stepped up 70
him with forced calmness, put one hand
on his shoulder and the other on the hand
that held the lever and said, .sDon't STOP
Having put the engineer on his guard he
pointed out the danger. Passengers,
who were anxiously watching, say the en-
gineer, when the danger became apparent

and It once put on al possible speed to
keep out Of the way Of the detached part
Of the tfain, which was laundering along
behind. This done, the engineer bleW

and the race wss. thus kept up Tor !

THE TEACHERS DREAM.

The following poem by Prof. VIII. Venable,
OF Cincinnati. has received the most t1atter1ng
the poet Longiel,ow himself
speaking Of it in terms of unqualified admlra
ton. Mr. Venable has expressed it in feel
ing that all teachers OF the young must at one
time or another have felt. They are fortunate
II, like him, they could see in vision the re-
suit of their labors:
The weary teacher sat alone
While twilight gathered on;
And not sound was heard around
The boys and girls were gone.
The weary teacher sat alone,
Unnerved and pale was ne;
Bowed meath yoke Of care, he spoke
In sad soliliquy:
"Another round, another round
Of labor thrown away
Another chain of toll and pain
Dragged through tedious day.
ssOf no avail is constant zeal,
Loves sacrifice is loss,
The hopes of morn, SO golden, turn,
Each evening, into dross.
81 squander on barren field
My strength, my lite, my all;
The seeds SOW will never grow,
They perish where they fall"
He sighed, and low upon his hands
His aching brow he prest;
And DER his frame erelOng there came
A soothing sense of rest.
And then he lifted up his face,
But started back aghast,-
The room by strange and sudden change
Assumed proportions vast.
It seemed Senate hall, ard one
Addressed listening throng;
Each burning word all bosoms stirred,
Applause rose loud and long.
The 'wildered teacher thought he knew
The speakers voice and look,
'sAnd for his name" said he, the same
Is in my record book"
The stately Senate hall dissolved,
A church rose in its place,
Wherein there stood man Of God,
Dispensing words Of grace.
And though he spoke in solemn tone,
And though his hair was gray,
The teacher thought was strangely wrought
81 whipped that boy to-dayl"
The church, q phantasm, vanished soon;
What saw the teacher thenf
In classic gloom OF allowed room

"My idlest lad 70 the teacher said,
Filled with q new surprise

sand when she to her children speaks
OF duty's golden rule,
Her lips repeat, in accents sweet,

The scene was changed again, and 10,
The school, house rude and old,
Upon the wall did darkness tall,
The evening air was cold.
"a dream p the sleeper, waking, said,
Then paced along the floor,
And, whistling slow and soft and low,
He locked the school-house door.
And, walking home, his heart was full
OF peace and trust and love and praise;
And singing slow and soft and low,
He murmured, "After many days"

Poor House Pleasure Parties.


Some people in Uenry county have
queer tastes, as will be seen by the follow
ing from the Kewanee Independent.
Having occasion to visit our county in
Urinary recently, we were not little sur
prised to fluid the yard pretty we'll filled
with carriages, buggies, and wagons, and
the stables and sheds full of horses, and
the house itself swarming with gay COM
pany. On inquiry as to the cause of such
au unusual gathering, we were told that it
was pic nic-we believe Sunday school
pic mic.
Now we hold it to be perfectly right
and proper for gentlemen and ladies to
visit the In6rmary, and to make them
selves familiar with the manner in which
the affairs of that institution are conducted,
but it does seem to US that the conversion
into grand free hotel by self-invited
guests, who take possession of the super
intendent's Office and all other accessible
rooms, by grown up boys and girls, who
know or practice few of the proprleties and
amenities of society, but go racing over the
building from nine o clock in the morning
to five o'clock in the evening, is taxing the
| time, patience, and good nature of those in
charge to greater degree than ought to
be required of them. If these things are
done for the benefit of the unfortunates
who are given home there at the public
expense, and are really beneficial, OF course
no reasonable person would think of object
ing to them, but if solely for the amuse-
ment of those who make themselves so free
with the County House, it does seem to
US that they are out of place, and should
be discouraged.
Had the occasion we refer to been an
exec ptional gathering, it would not signify
much, but we are told that it is the rule,
rather than the exception, that there are
more or less calls daily. 1t may be all
right. but it looks odd to US.
But the gentlemanly superintendent
and his amiabie lady seemed to regard it
all as a matter of course, and made all
happy by their kind and urbane treatment,
never showing by word or action a suspic
ion that they felt bored by what to US APP
peared like an intolerable nuisance"
