William Cox while cutting down

James Wins got bewildered a short

out and cut logs awhile and then put

load of grain. His wife soon saw him
returning and rushed out to know the

BEECHER.TILTON NOTES.

From the SUNDAY Herald

From the sunday Herald,
Tickets for the court room IN the
summing up the forthcoming week
are in anxious demand. The occasion
of Beach's speech is looked forward to
with great eageruess. Mr.. EvartS Is
expected TO make a highly finished
address. The dry work of quoting
from the legal authorities will be lett
TO Judge Porter, and Mr. Evarts will
be free to sweep over the whole field
OF evidence, Illuminating the points
advanced in favor of his client with
the light of vivid and persuasive ell
oquence. His task will be harder than
that OF his adversary, Mr.. Beach. The
drift of popular prejudice is ia favor Of
the latter. Beecher's letters are so
easily construed to mean for the aver.
age mind one thing aud one thing on
~, that in the hands OF man like
Beach they will be marshalled In or
der like host of accusing spirits that
VIII not down at any mans bidding
but forever continue to cry out the
jullt of their author. Beach has much
hope from his reading and analysis of
these letters. His task will not be
difficult. They are ready fashioned to
his hand and need no ingenuity 10 be
made terrible weapons OF attack.
Moulton and General Pryor are ex-
pected to start on trip To Virginia
next week. Mr.. Tilton is in better
spirits than mt any time since the trial
began. He Is particularly delighted at
the failure to impeach his evidence in
the matter of walking i'm the Com
munistic procession. Undoubtedly
the entire miscOnception regarding
this affair on the side of the defence
arose from the fact that Colonel w. A.
{. Ryan, the Cuban hero, was in the
same procession, and bore closer re-
semblance to Tilton than any other
man in New York. Tilton thinks his
case complete, and expects verdict in
his favor.
1t is said Mrs. Titon is engaged in
the composition of novel founded on
the incidents of her life. She still lives
at Mrs. Ovington's, in quiet seclusion.
She receives very few visitors and
passes her time between reading and
writing. She is reported as being
aboutto keep a boarding house through
the summer up the Hudson. Letters
of sympathy and offers of assistance
have been received by her from differ
ent parts of the country. She is ih
good health and not much depressed
n spirits.
The New York Tribune learns that
there are rumors afloat to the effect that
at the conclusion of the Brooklyn trial a
fresh batch of statements - will be
given to the public, and the editor hopes
that protest will be made against all
this in time. We most earnestly put in
our protest right here, but have no idea
that it or the protests of any others are
likely to keep the morbid crowd of
Observation-Disclosures quiet. The purient
taste which has been engendered all
around them by the foul stream which
has been running so long will naturally
demand more, but it ought to be staunch-
ed, even by force il need be.

Almost u Riot.

George White, a colored ex-police-
man, attempted to incite riot yester-
day evening, near the foot of Market
street. 1t seems that the Street Rail-
road Company is only paying laborers
seventy-five cents per day, and find
plenty willing to work at that price,
rather than lie idle doing nothing.
White collected a crowd of negroes,
and threatened to make it very warm,
for any one that would work for that
price, and became so violent in his
demonstrations, that Colonel Harris
had to get out warrant for his arrest.
We would warn the colored men that
it will not do for them to undertake
any such thing. If they do not wish
to work at the price offered. no one
can compel them to do so, and if others
are willing to work, they will be pro-
tected in their work. Chattanooga

A hundred years have passed away
Ring out the joyous bells to-day,
And let them peal merry chifue,
In honor of the olden time.
Let acclamations rend the air.
Let songs be sung by women fair.
Let banners, flags, and streamers gay
Their waving, floating folds display.
Let bands of men, with martial tread,
Descendants of the noble dead,
Parade and march, encamp around,
And bivouac on this holy ground.
Let strains of music thrill the soul,
The stirring drum its echoes roll.
With blast of trumpet loud resound,
And spread the fame of Freedom round
With salvos of artillery
Proclaim the praise Of Liberty.
With grateful heart and cheerful voice
Let all be mirthful and rejoice.
With wild huzza and joyful shout,
And glad, triumphant lips cry out,
And raise to heaven, with one accord,
A loud hosanna to the Lord.

Run over ana Killed.

The Chattanooga Times says: " The
body of William Ross, an employee OF
the Alabama and Chattanooga Rail-
road, was found early Sunday morn
ing on the track of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, just below the first
switch from the depot. The body was
so frightfully mangled that it was inn
possible to wash or dress it for burial.
The deceased was drinking Saturday
night, and it is supposed that he fell
down on the track and went to sleep,
and was run over. A coroner's iury
was summoned, who returned a YER
dict in accordance with the above
facts.' Another case of q man hurled
into eternity by the demon strong
drink. What warning this should
be to those who are addicted to intems
perance. If men would but for a mo-
ment think while sober of the terrible
consequences that might resultif they
get drunk, many perhaps would not
take the damning stuff. To think one
hour alive and in good health, revel-
ing with their comrades in sin under
the influence of strong drink and the
next hour to appear before a sin aveng-
ing God. Daily cases Of that kind are
reported by the press of the country,
and yet it seems as though the warn
ing is not needed. The desire for
strong drink has fastened its hold on
so many, and no personal danger
seems pu Herful enough to break the in
tluence, It should prove a warning to
the moderate drinker, for no drunkard
came to be drunkard in a day, week
or month. 1t is the moderate drink
ing for months that makes the drunk

Economic Resolutions.

Seventy wives in Warsaw, KY, de-
string by their example "to promote
economy, discountenance extrava-
gance and tighten the burdens of
family expenses" have signed this
pledge: 1--WE will not, during period
OF one year from the first of May, 1875,
purchase any materia! for wearing APP
parel the cost Of which shall exceed
twenty-five cents per yard. And shall
further promise to observe a strict
economy in all our household pertain

home comforts, too often dispensed
with for the frivolous outside adorn-
ment of the body alone"

The Whisky Ring.

Several agents of the whisky ring
have been in this city since Saturday.
From their conversations, and from
reports received from agents of the de-
partment at the West, some points in
the campaign the ring is preparing:to
make begin to appear. The Govern
ment has thus become aware that large
assessments have been made upon all
manufacturers, rectifiers, and dealers
known by the ring to be in the least
compromised by transactions in Illicit
whisky. This is TO be used to employ
legal assistance Of high order, and as a
corruption fund about the courts, and,
so far as possible, to procure such pub
LEGATIONS as will be of indirect assist
ance.
One of the ideas which they are in
dustriously spreading is that Secretary
Brlstow is aiming at the Presidency,
and that the whole attack on the ring
really has little else than a sensational
move of this kind for its foundation.
Another method of discrediting the
movement is by giving out that it has
been manufactured by the Secret Ser
vice force for the purpose of strength
ening itself after the fashion of opera
tions undera former organization. But
in this case, as the Department is well
aware, this force, under its new chief,
and new operation, has rendered most
elective service, and there has been
no trace of sham about it, as the whole
ring will learn to its sorrow when the
evidence collected is developed

Coupled with general anxiety to

interest in the work of publishing the

crate armies, now rapidly progressing
under the direction of the Secretary of
War. Material for two volumes has
already been put in type since Con-
gress adjourned, consisting chiefly of
reports of battles.
The Secretary had lately been criti-
cised for refusing access to Confeder-
ate records purchased some time since

but are in possession of the Treasury.
Captured Confederate archives are in

He would never allow himself to be out

one Of his own coinage, and consign the
narrator to confusion by falsehood

was really surprising, not a foot from
the cold spring there was one of boiling
water; 50 thatwhen you wanted to cook
your fish, allsyou had to do, after, hook

pop them directly into the boiling -
