.Ma~ Mr.. Secretary Bristow is playing havoc

Gg- Baltimore is somewhat agitated about
Park on Federal Hill. 1t is an excellent idea
and we trust the agitation will continue until
it becomes living fact. It's accessibility to
the laboring people of a large portion of the
city makes it specially desirable. Then il
commands a view of the city that can be had
from no other point in around it. Druid
Hill Park is too remote for the people who
need it most. If it were cut up into ten or a
dozen parks and properly distributed through
the city it would confer far more benefit upon
its citizens than it does. We trust that some
of what is lost in this way will be reclaimed
by Federal Hill.

THE GRAssHoPPERs. Notwithstanding tbegen
eral favorable aspect of industry and trade in the
Southwest, there is cloud in the horizon which
threatens serious destruction to that section. Of
course the newspapers OF Kansas and Nebraska
do not like TO sound the alarm too early, because
it would deter immigrants from coming to thai
part Of the country, but it cannot be denied that
there is great danger that the grasshopper scourge
may be much worse and extend over much
greater territory than ever before. The Cedar
Rapids Towa) Republican Of the 4th inst, says
"The probability now is that grasshoppers will
be as plentiful in Missouri this year as they were
in Kansas and Nebraska last year, and Iowa has
no sure thing of being exempt. Near Weston,
Mo-, they can be scooped up by the handful, and
there are acres upon acres of them. The ground
is alive with the pests, AID as soon as they have
grown little more they will take wing. and
then comes the havoc. 1t is not unlikely that
they will appear as far east as Southern Illinois
the present season. 1t was thought the late cold
weather would be fatal to these grasshoppers, but
they seem to be proof against any ordinary tenn
perature, and can stand sharp frost good deal
better than the fruit. What with the grasshop-
pers to devour every green thing, the buffalo gnat
to sting to death the live stock, and an unfavor-
able spring, the farmers of the West have dis
NAL prospect before them for 1875"
Should the Southwest winds of this summer
bring up this ominous cloud, there is no question
but it would blast many hopes of commercial and
industrial prosperity not only in the West, but
in the whole country.

More of the Mssrder Trial.

The examination of Frieberg, the tan
ner, was continued in the Rufer trial to-
day. His testimony, on cross-examina-
ton, was materially the same as that
first given, and did not vary from 1t as
to the general facts in the case.
He was followed by his son, whose tes-
timony did not differ much from that of
his father as to the general facts relat-
ing to the ill feeling existing between
Rufer and Schilling, and the efforts OF
Schilling to have Ruler discharged.
The next witness put on the stand was
John Hollerback, that amazingly preco-
cious youth who heard the sounds OF
murder and Schilling's cries for help,
and who stood outside and threatened
to shoot If it was not stopped. He had
not occupied the witness-b0x more than
half an hour before the Court adjourned,
but his testimony as far as it went was
substantially the same as that taken by
Coroner Maley.

The 1tlton-Beecher Trial.

BROOKLYN, Feb. 3.-The City Court
room was as full as ever this morning,
Notwithstanding the inclement weather.
Mrs. Tilton was in her usual p ace, ac-
companied by Mrs. Field, Mrs. Tubbs and
Mrs. Shearman. When the Court
opened, Mr.. Tilton resumed his story. >,
He first heard of the proposed Councll
Of Churches in the early part OF Novem-
Der, 1873. from Beecher in Moultons
house. He told me the trouble had arisen
out of my speech in the church and the
publishing of card by Mr.. Halliday in
the newspapers.
He told me certain papers had been
sent him in relation to the Church Coun-
Oil. He said that the Councils were dan.
gerous things, and that no person could
tell where they would end. He al Q said
to me: .Theodore, this will all end well
if you will not give any Information TO
DR.. Storrs or act against me-"
had conversation subsequent to
this in the street, ON the night Beecher
made a speech in Plymouth Church in
relation to DIR. Storrs. Beecher met
Moulton and me, and said his Church
was going to stand alone and not unite
with the other two, Churches in the
Council.
The Bacon letter was published in
June 1874; never met Beether since
the publication of the Bacon letter. l
had conversation With Beecher in
Moulton's library in 1874, about the Ba.
con charges in which ! was called a
knave and dog. l told Beecher he
must reply to the charges.
lie made no reply to this whatever.
Shearman was present and made al
apology for having insulted Mrs. Tilton
in public. When Beecher left, Shearmar
remained behind. Beecher was sum
moneu by telegram to Moulton's house
That was the last interview had Will
Beecher to the best oil my recollection.
