Bessie Turner describes Tilton's home
as a sort of hell ON earth, in which he
played the part Of chief devil. Mrs.
Tilton was starved and locked up and
ill-treated, and her husband was acting
the part of a brute when he was not
playing the fool. And yet all this time
he was editing the most popular reli-
uious paper in the United States, was
earning an ample salary, and was max
ing a reputation among men. And from
this miserable home and from this mis-
erable vile came hundred letters of
which the following is very mild sam
ple: "Yesterday was an exciting, busy
day. and would not write you, though
/ yearned, almost cried, Tor you many
times. Do hurry home, love. l am yours
utterly. My heart is fixed to bless you."
Through how many more strange stories
and irreconcilable counter statements
we shall be led before the end of this
drama is reached, we do not know and
do not care to guess. But it seems to
us that Mr.. Beecher's lawyers are SIM
ply complicating the difficulties of their
client. If TIlton is the low, lewd crea-
ture that the witnesses describe, how
could Beecher conyince himself that he
had done him great wrong by advising
his wife to separate from him, and coun-
selling Bowen to discharge him?

The "Tom Thumb Leyees" at Mozart
Hall are drawing large audiences, and
giving excellent satisfaction, both as to
the wonderful and the amusing. The
artistic performances are excellent, ex.
cept that the organ accompaniment is
too heavy for the voices OF the little
tractiye. Commodore Mutt, in his com.
icalities, is especially noticeable. He
exhibits an ability as comedian sci.
dom seen on any stage in actors OF a

How Rich Men Begin Life.

Cornelius Vanderbilt began life with
an old piroge, running between staten
Island and New York City, carrying gar.
den stuff to market. With Two or three
thousand dollars raised IRON thai source,
he entered upon steadily increasing en-
terprises, until he amassed the enor-
nous sum OF S50.000,000.
A. T. Stewart first bought few laces
at auction, and opened the way to sue
cess in o diugy little shop on Broadway,
near the site Of his wholesale establish
iment. Years of rigid honesty, shreWd
management and wisdom in things both
great and small, have made him the
monumental merchant of the nineteenth
century.
Daniel Drew, in his early life, was a
cattle driver at the munificent rate OF
seventy five cents a day, and he has now
driven himself to an estate valued at
from $25, 900, 900 to $50, ,00O,O 900.
George Law, at 40 years Of age, was o
common day laborer on the docks, and
at present counts his fortune at some-
thing like ,$10, 100000.
Robert l.. and Alexander Stuart, the
sugar refners, in their boyhood sold
mOlasses candy, which their widowed
mother had made, at a cents stick, and
to-day they are worth probably $5, 5,000,0
to 100000 apiece.
Marshall o. Roberts is the possessor
of $4,0OO,OOO or $4,000, 900; and yet until
he was % he did not have 500 he could
call his own.
H. B. Claflin, the eminent dry goods
merchant, worth, it is estimated, from
SIC, ,000, 900, to $15,000,000 commenced the
word with nothing but energy, determi.

Previous to the Lotos reception on
Tuesday evening last, in New York, one
of the Lotos members had invited
two ladies to sit in his box. They were
not personally acquainted. One Of them,
a blonde, having had briei personal de-
scription of The other, declined to 60.
present, as she was considered quite
pretty, invited another lady with no bet
ter success. Finally he said: "Will you
be kind enough, Miss -, to let me
know why you refuse to be present with
either Of these ladiesl They are both
handsome, elegant, perfectly well bred"
''That may be, my dear sir" was the re-
ply, "But they are both blondes: That
is their crime; for am also blonde.
You can not expect me to sit in the same
box with another blonde, who will proba-
bly, wear colors that will interfere with
mine. Invite brunette, and shall be
happy to accompany you; since she will
be contrast and help to set me off,"
The brunette was invited.

Mr.. George Wilkes, in the last chapter
of his essay ON Shakespeare from an
American point of view, has the follow
ing remarkable tribute to the Jews: Be-
fore closing this chapter may add that
there is another interior proof of Shaks-
peare's Romanism in the bitter hatred
which he repeatedly exhibits to the
Jews. This prejudice does not exist
among the Protestants, at any rate, not
among the Protestants of the United
States. On the contrary, the Jews min
gle with US without any social dlsadvan-
tage; and, for my own part, have never
heard of any historical, chronological or
moral reason why they suffer the least
discount Ill any equitable estimation.
They certainly are the purest race
known to the world; and this purity
could not have been preserved without
great traits Of character and great sacri-
ices. They are notoriously brave, for
the proofs Of their courage are stamped
upon every age, from the battlefield to
the priZe-ring; their women are proven
bially virtuous and beautiful; an intense
interior pride keeps them from ever bill
letting their,poor.upon any public charity,
and the wonder is that under the excess
sive prejudice which the society OF all
Christian countries has unremlttlngly
exercised against them they remain
such useful, inotfensiye law-abidlng citi-
zens. The world is not at all indebted
to William Shakespeare for what he
has done to contribute toward this mar
row, groveling and contemplate rehec-
tion upon the Jews, and, least of all,
should he be respected TOR it in America.
Less, than at any time, to-day. Preju-
dice is the very meanest form OF slavery,
for it is the slavery Of the mind. One
black, shriveling blot has recently been
exuded from the national conscience.
Surely, there can be no excuse for allow
ing even shadow OF this other to re.
main.n

There is no shrinking from response

to discharge the duties imposed upon
him by law After so many lying ru-

fully sustained by every member of

cheaply that when men are killed on
account of their political opinions the
murderers are regarded rather as
heroes than af criminals in the locali-
ties where they reside. and by the
White League aud their supporters.
An illustrations of the ostracism
that prevails in the State may be
found in a resolution of the White
League club in the parish of DeSota,
which states that they pledge them
selves under no circumstances after
the coming election to employ, rent
land to, or in any other manner give
aid, comfort or credit any man, white
or black, who votes against the nouli-
nees of the White man party. Safety
for Individuals who express their
opinion in isolated portions of this
State has existed only where that
opinion was IN favor of the principles
and party supported by the kuklux
and White League organizations.

Judge OF the parish of Natchitoches.

while his father was lying at the point
of death in the same village he was
unable to visit him for fear of assas-
sination, and yet he is a native of the

sentiments only. 1t Is more than
probable that if bad government has
existed in this State it is the result OF
the armed organizations which have
now crystalized into what is called the
White League. Instead of bad gov
