PEN. PICTURE OF HENRY WARD
BEECHER.

The New York correspondent of the Chicago
graphic picture of the Plymouth Churcl
pastor, as he appeared at the Beecher-Tilto1
trial now going on in Brooklyn:
To-day examined Beecher with an excel
lent opera glass. 1t was the first opportunity

nary man, and venture upon sending you
THE PICTURE
! just as it fingers on my retina His head is
unusually large, his forehead receding on a
gradual arc, the top of his head almost flat,
and the cerebetlum extravagantly developed.
The line between the crown of his
head and the top of his ear is unusu-
ally long. Unusually long also is the
line between his ear and the extreme rear
point of the cerebelltm. His nose is broader
than the length warrants, and the top of it is
tiattened and slightly upturned. The upper
lip is very long as long as Thackeray's but
much thicker and heshier. The under lip
which is likewise thick and pulpy, protrudes
just little. But
THE REAL DEFoRMITY OF THE FACE
consists in the jowl or triple chin which
makes his (Beecher's) throat look like a
swollen dewlap. This wrinkled mass of fat
completely fills up the normally curved inter
apple. The neck is not so tumid as the fore
throat, but is still ugly and out of proportion.
The mouth wears a perpetual quiver at each
corner, as if it were about to relax, any mo-
ment IN smile Occasionally this odd habit
becomes downright pout The eyes are
THE REDEE1uNG FEATURE
of the whole face. They are bluish-cray-a
true sea-color and in their shifting depths one
can discover all the buoyancy, all the wit, all
the pathos, all the poor humanity that have
conspired to make Beecher what he is-the
idol of his people, the Mahomet of floral
and complacent creed. His hair is in the
phase Of transition from brown to white. and
Is In no wise remarkable, except for its length
and the studiously negligent manner in which
1t is worn. His eyes are the beauty of Beech
ers face, so is his complexion his ruin. Pal
lor or sallowness might become its rugged
and massive irregularity. But in the place of
being pale or salIow,
BEEcHER's FACE IS NOTIFIED
with a hundred patches of color For in
stance, the front of his forehead is white and
wholesome, but over each eye there is blotch |
Of purple, running into edges of scarlet On |
The side Of each cheek are other scarlet |
patches crossed and interlaced by numbers of
minute purple veins. The base of his nose is |
surlously red, and the right nostril seems to
De swollen. When he frowns or smiles. the I
notion is irregularly distributed over the
Whole face. His eyebrows lower, his nose
his lips stick out, and there are a
tozen new and unexpected creases in his
ripple chin.

THE METAIRIE CEMETERY,

Next to beautiful parks, such as New York
and Brooklyn have, there is nothing more in
dicatve of the refinement of public taste than
extensive and picturesque cemeteries. Care
OF the dead is one of the most marked charac-
teristics of civilization, and the higher the
civilization the more elaborate and beautiful
the monuments and edtices erected to per-
petuate the memory Of those who enter upon
the long, calm sleep which precedes the resur-
rection.
Some time ago an association was formed
to purchase the tract of land, which had for
many years been used as the Metairie Race
Course, and to convert it into a GENE terv,
which would at once meet an imperative
demand and be a credit and ornament to our
city Our late esteemed and honored fellow
citizen, William S. Pike, was elected Presi-
dent Of the association and ut once took steps
to carry out the intentions and obj ects of the
association. He caused an elaborate plan to
be drawn, and having laid out the work pro-
ceedel with characteristic vigor and system
to convert the race course into a cemetery.
which had even before his untimely and
lamented death assumed shape and beauty.
AT a meeting OF the Board of Directors of
the Association held yesterday, at the office.
No. IL Carondelet street, Mr. C. T. Howard
was elected President, to ill the vacancy
caused by the death Of Mr.. Pike. The we'll
known energy and industry Of Mr. Howard
give assurance that the work so well begun
will bepushed forward rapidly, and the Metal

be, one OF the most complete and beautiful in

A UrOPIAN SCHEME,

And now We have almost union of churcl
and state
Who would believe that man would at
tempt to live off his religion physically, a
as well as spiritually? But such is the case
"a young man would like to hear of a pr
vate family where hisspiety and Christian ex
ample will be taken as an equivalent fo
board and lodging. Address Zaccheus Jones
P. o."
Well, so would we like to hear of a ..pr
vate > or a public family either of that kind
But just notice the modesty Of the propo
sition. The applicant is aware that call desl
Is weak, and does not lay claim to enough
"plety and Christian example to cover the
wash also-he is satisfied with merely board
and lodging.
He may probably do his own washing
But to what a train of thoughts this propo-
sal gives rise
Just imagine our young friend Zaccheus
having found such a family, and picture him
liked by Its members, who are as much in
want OF religion as he is OF board and lodc-
ing. Then fancy the youngest urchin rush
ing into his mothers presence, saying:
Ma, Mr.. Jones is in the kitchen with his
arms around our Sally's neck a choking her,
and she won't holler''
Then "ma sees her duty clear, and saws ::
" MI. Jones, must say you are wofully de-
ticlent in consistency. You asked for sec
ond piece of pie at dinner yesterday, and this

A RUSTIC COTRTING.

The night WAS dark when Sam set on.
To court Old Jones's daughter:
He kinder felt as if he mus,
And kinder hadn't oughter;'
His heart against his waist'cot throbbed,
His feelings had trussel
Which nearly conquered him, with his
Six feet OF bone and muscle.
The candle in the window shone
With most doleful glimmer,
And Sam he felt his courage ooZe
And through his fingers simmer:
Says he: ''Now, SAM don't be fool
Take courage, shaking doubter;
Go on and pop the question right,
For you can't live without her
But still, as he drew near the house.
His knees got all a. tremble,
:. The beating OF his heart near beat
His efforts to dissemble,
Says he: Now. Sam, don't be goose,
To let the female wlmmen
Knock all your thoughts a.skelter so,
And set your head a swimmer.
So Sam he kinder raised the latch,
His courage also raising.
And IN a moment sat inside.
Old JOness crops a. prasing.
He tried a while TO talk the farm,
In words half dull, half witty,
Not dreaming that Old Jones well knew
His only thoughts were Kitty.
At last the old folks went to bed
The Joneses were but human;
Old Jones was something OF man,
And Mrs. JOnes-a woman.
And Kitty she the pitcher took
And started for the cellar;
1t wasn't often that she had
SO promising Teller.
And somehow when she came up stairs,
And Sam had drunk his cider.
There seemed difference in the chairs,
And Sans was close beside her;
HIS stalwart arm dropped round her waist,
Her head dropped on his shoulder,
And Sam-well he had changed his tone,
And grown a trifle bolder.
Her ripe, red lips We're turned to his,
Ills head dropped slowly over
What happened then? Go ask the bee
Ii honey dwells in clover?
The tale is always new but old,
And always sweet and tender;
And SAM guess, can fight his way,
And kit shan't defend her.
But this, if you live long enough,
You surely will discover;
There $ nothing in this world of ours
Except the loved and lover.
The morning light was growing gray
AS Sam the farm was leaving;
His face was surely not the face
OF one half Srieved or grieving
And Kitty she walked slowly back.
With plushing face, and lowly:
There's something III the humblest love
Which makes 1t pure and holy.
And did he marry her you ask;
She stands there with a ladle
A-skimming of the mornings milk;
That's Sam, who rocks the cradle

Interesting Facts Ascertained by Bal.
lOOnist.

The balloon ascent of NM Croce SpinelG
and Slvel has yielded many facts OF interest.
Among these we may mention the FOLLOWING.
The elevation reached was 1900 meters. They
found the temperature steadily diminished
except when passing through clouds. and
finally reached y degrees c. At 1900 meters
crystals of ice were visible floating between
them and glistening in the sunshine. The
lines IN the solar spectrum, indicating
the presence of vapor of water. dis
appeared when they reached the great
est altitude, thus proving that this Yanor
belongs to our atmosphere, and not to the
sun. AT 5000 meters sensations of discomfort
were removed by the respiration of mixture
OF forty parts OF oxygen and sixty of nitro
gen. At 5000 meters the oxygen was increased
seventy-fve per cent, and in each instance
the physical and mental weakness was re-.
stored, and the sky, which previously to the
inhalation was OF dark hue, again became
blue. NJ. Croce Spinelli has thus removed
an Old error, and demonstrated that the black
ness of the armament observed at grea,
heights is due solely to the effect of fatigne m

Civil and Religious Marriages in EmrOpe.

The Pal Nal Gazette says "Some inter
estlng details regarding the practical working
of civil marriage laws in Catholic continental
countries came out during the discussion on
the subject in the Swiss National Council the
result of which was telegraphed on Friday
The chief speaker against the proposal for
making the civil contract necessary pre-
iiminary was NJ. Weck-Reynold, a Catholic
member from Friburg and he showed that
the similar law of Italy was very largely
evaded on purpose by those who desire 10 be
welded without mourning certain legal oblga-
lions. Thus officers and non-commissioned
officers OF the Italian army, being forbidden
marriage eXceptw with certain guaranteed means
avail themselves OF the priests services
to contract a union which is valid in their
own eyes, though it does not bring them
under any penalty. Similarly, widows of
public officials drawing their pensions from
the State VIGOROUSLY frequently remarry in
the Church. and are treated in all respects as
married by society, while the State which re-
fuses to recognize merely ecclesiastical we'd
lock, has to continue to pay them their an
nuities In Italy, therefore the State seems
to suffer; but in France, where the civil rite is
not merely Indispensable, but must precede
the other, conscientious Catholics, women
especially, are often cheated out of what they
consider an essential part of the ceremony by
the spouse suddenly refusing to go through
the second form when the civil official has
once made them legally man and wife. These
statements do not seem to have been in any
way contradicted; but the majority of the
Assembly held that the objections named VIII
not hold in Switzerland, and adopted the
French system bya vote of very nearly two to
one"
An exchange says: They would have had
a religious revival in La Crosse the other week
but for the way harnesses were cut up and
horses shaved outside the church door while
the preacher was starting the good work with
in. man can't be good after finding his
horses tail and name cut OFF. p" That's fact |
Under such circumstances religion is about |
the last thing a man wants.
