Theodore Tilton lccturcd last evening on the
PROBLEM of Life in the large hall OF Cooper
Union. Not more than $50 chairs empty when
the lecturer began, promptly at S o'clock, and the
majority Of thosc filled soon after; so that IL
NAV be said that the full seating capacity of the hall
was occupied. few dozen persons stood in the
rear part of the auditorium; and a crowd of curious
persons who did not attempt to enter We're at the
doors when they were first opened The number OF
men in the audience did not greatly exceed that OF
the ladies present. There were very few prominent
persons Of either sex in the auditorium and MI. lit
ton occupied the platform alone, introducing himself
OF rather dispensing with ceremony which womb
have been idle in lis case. Among others who were
seated near the stage were Mr. Tilton's former
counsel s. II. Morris and Mr.. Pearsall. Ex-Judge
Fullerton, who came in a little late, was received
with applause by few who recognized him. MI
Triton was loudly applaudcd on his entrance and an
attempt was made 10 respond 10 c"ii Vi 'i
eheer- for Tlton" but il not generally responded
e.. The first welcome, however, was general ana
hearty.
There was no direct reference in the lecture to the
recent troubles of Mr. Tton, but the audience con-
strue1 many of his sentences into illusions TO The
late trial and applaudcd accordingly The first out
burst Of this significant character followed his pas
.ionate declaration, a star that sets may rise
again: but the star that fall is lost forever" An
other still louder burst of applause followed sar-
castle remark, delivered with great force TO the
effect that this country or civilization III
which man forgave an injury only at the expense
of his reputation. These and similar expressions 10
which the audience gave deeper meaning than was
probably intended by the lecturer, were perfectly
consonant with the argument and did not appear to
be unnaturaly introduced. The principal points OF
the lecture are given below.

THE YELLOW-HAMMHE'S NEST
BY JOHN V. CHADWICK.

The yeloN-hammer came 70 build his nest
High IN the eim-tTee's ever-uOldng crest:
All the long day. Up'n his task intent.
Backward and forward bUsily he went,
Gathering from far and near the tiny shred.
That brides weave fJr little brides beds;
Now bits uf grass. now bits Of y2grant string
Ald now some qGecrer, dea.er sort Of thing
For on the lawn. where he was wont to come
In search OF s'uG 70 build his pretty home,
We dropped one dAg lock Of golden hair
Which our wee darling easily could spare.
And close beside il tenderly We placed
y lOck that had the STOPPING shoulders graced
OF her old gTauds!re; II was as white as snow,
Or cherry trees when they are all ablOw.
Then throve the yellow-hammer's work apace
Hundreds of times he sought the lucky place
Where sure, he thought in his hlrd-fashlon dim-
NondrOus provision mad been made for him.
Both locks. the white ami golden, disappeared;
The nest vas finished, and the brood was rear
ed;
And then there came pleasant summers day
When the last yclOw-hainmer new away.
Ela long. in triumph. from It's lcafy height,
Ne bore the nesl 20 wonderfully disAt,
Ana saw how prettlIy the white and god
Made warp aud wool Of many cleaning ioli.
But when again the yellow-hammers came
CleayIng the orchards with their ptlit flame,
G4aHdslre's white locks and baby's golden mead
We're lying low, both III one grassy bed.
And SO more dear than ever u the nest
T.en from the eln-trees ever nUdilng crest
Little the yeAOw-hammer thought hoU rare
\ thing he wrought Of white ahd golden hA!F
From Harpc's .Hoga.ige tng September.

RECELESSNEsS ENDING IN DEATH.
On Wednesday evening Governor
Island was the scene of 4 very sad ac-
cident, by which nephew OF Capt.
John J. Butler, of the Ordnance De
partment, 4 lad II years Old. lost his
lite. lie was amusing himself on the
ordnance dock with small three
wheeled wooden velocipede. Except
the sentinel on duty, nobody else was
on the dock, and rs the little boy
whirled around, steering his diminu
tive vehicle occasionally dangerously
close to the edge. the soldier watched
him narrowly. Soon convinced, how
ever, that the boy understood the
management Of his machine too well
TO be in any danger of rolling it off
the dock, he passed on. 1t was grow
ing rapidly dark, and the boy may
have failed 10 see the edge of the
dock distinctly. When the sentinel
reached the end of his patrol and
turned round he was alone on the
pier. 1t was about a quarter past $
o'clock, ard the tide was running out
with irresistible force. Several yards
from the dock the soldier saw pair
OF little hands raised above the rush
Ing water, and what was evidently
the velocipede floating rapidly away
beside them. Shouting Tor assistance,
he leaped into the river and swan
toward them, bat before he had pro-
ceeded = dozen yards all trace Of the
boy had vanished. Boats put ok
from the island, and the sentinel was
taken from the water, but nothing
WAS seen OF the boy. The tide had
carriei' the body cut 70 ca.-Neg

NUMBER 19.

/ \ MILLIONAIRE DEFAULTER.-The
career of Woodruff, the millionaire
detaulter, whose escape from Calitor
MA has been announced by telegraph,
Is a remarkable one. Some wears ago
Woodruff was Il resident Of Lynch
burg, Va, holding a comfortable situ>
alton in a good social standing and
protesting devout piety. Suddenly
he fell from grace, and his friends
were mortified by his detection in r,.s-
cality. He was enabled TO escape
punishment by absconding, and for
years after nothing more was heard
of the fellow in Lynchburg, except,
perhaps, by his wife, who remained
in that city and became the obiecl of
much sympathy. About the time
that Woodruff dropped into sea Of
obScurity, however, John Miller
emerged upon the surface. He ap>
peared at Sacramento, and was ems
ployed rs clerk by the Union Pa
cltic Railroad Company, Agreeable
in manner, entertaining in speech,
and generous TO the degree Of ex.
travagance, he soon surrounded him
self with influential friends, and in
brlet time he was appointed to the re-
sponsible Office of secretary of the
Western Development Company. He
daily grew in popular favor, individ-
ual wealth and official prestige. He
permitted none Of his associates TO
know he had wife in the east. and
under false name married veal,
thy lady, TO whom he had been in
troducci by deluded friend. lle
bought 4 magnificent mansion, and
50 lavish was his display OF wealth in
household adornments that director
who was guest Of the secretary sus-
pected robbery, and an investigation
disclosed the iart that his dctalcation
approaches $l,0O0,000. Woodruff
was arrested and forced to surrender
all his availaIablc gains. And this
is the story of Woodruff, alias John
Miller, the millionaire defaulter. The
e>timable lady who was wronged by
him still occupies the noble mansion
which is ornate with the obsolete
monogram of John Miller"

by the military authorities of the
