consider that so wild an imagination is
exercised in my behalf, I am constrained to
raise my voice in melancholy rhyme, suit
able for deep lamentations! He claims fur

THE END COMETH-

In the Brooklyn Courts before His Honor,
Justice Nelson, the Beecher- Tilton trial
still hangs fire, that is to say "slowly ap-
proaches the end.' For about a week
Judge Porter, counsel for the defence, in
summing up poured hot shot into the jury,
and for five days the famous lawyer, VIM.
M. Evarts, has been eloquently pleading
for the acquittal of the great preacher. The
Court will now be treated to an argument
from Ex-Judge Beach, counsel for plain
tiff, and then the learned Judge will charge
the jury, who in their wisdom will retire to
deliberate" The trial will in all proba
bility end by an acquittal of the defendant
Or disagreement of the jury. 1t matters
not, however, as to the verdict, for whether
it be ''guilty'' or sinnocent," Beecher will
still be pure in the eyes of Plymouth
Church. No charges, no matter how Sc
rious, can shake their faith in him, for to
tho eloquence and ability of the popular
preacher they pay as deep devotion as did
the Ephesians to Diana.

THE STRAWBERRY CROP.

The recent showers have been of incalcu-
liable advantage to strawberries. An i'm
mence crop is expected, the present season,
in Cumberland county. The berries were
never better, as regards size and flavor.
The variety now finding its way to the Phil
adelphia, New York, and Boston markets
is known as the "Wilson Early,' the earli-
est ripening berry cultivated in South Jer-
sey. 1t is not only earlier than any other
known variety, but is firmer, will bear a
longer transportation and rougher handling,
and is more prolific than any other. Other
varieties are grown, but none excel the
"Wilson Early for market purposes
Quite an army of pickers, who receive two
cents per quart, are employed by the fruit
growers, and shipments in large quantities
are being made from Bridgeton, Vineland
and other stations on the West Jersey and
Southern Jersey roads. The fruit growers
realize from five to ten cents per box, the
remainder finding its way into the railroad
companies and and 9n G9m@sfHn afts mersasnts Is s9 ss
mate of the strawberry crop of Cumberland
county to be shipped to the places indicated
A large proportion of the crop finds it's way
to the canning houses of Millville, -Vineland
and Bridgeton. For the accommodation of
fruit growers and truckers extra freight
trains now run on the New Jersey Southern
and West Jersey roads. A steamer also
plies between Bridgeton and Philadelphia,
for the accommodation of the farmers resid-
ing at Greenwich, Cedarville, Fairton,
Bridgeton. and other places.

An Invaluable Travelling comvanion.

Change Of climate water or diet. is apt to induce
harassing and often dangerous diseases. The three
changes combined are fatal to hundreds and thous-
ands of emigrants every year. Is it not, then, OF
the last Importance to know that HOstetters StOm-
ach Btters are an absolute preventive of the hurt
full consequences arising from these causes? Trav-
elers, voyagers, and emigrants to new countries
cannot be too often reminded of the fact that this
agreeable vegetable tonic is the most reliable safe
guard against disorders to which they are far more
liable than the habitual deniZens of healthy re-
gions. The primal effect of the unwholesome at
mOsphere which produces what are called malari-
GUS fevers is to depress and deblitate the SYSTEM
The body then becomes an easy prey to the malig-
nant principle in the air. 1t manifest therefore.
that the Surest way to avoid all epidemic and en-
demic malades OF an Intermittent type, is to cOun-
teract the weakening tendencies of miasma by ar
tificial invigoration. That Hostetters Stomach
Bitters is the surest resuscitant of tagging vgors
fact which is best appreciated wherever influences
inimica to health exist. But it is not alone against
malaria that they protect the system. They so
toughen it as to enable it to endure with impunity,
extremes OF heat and cold to which travellers are
often subjecteda they neutralize those elements
III unaccustomed water or diet which would other
wise beget disorders of the stomach and bowels
The brackish water with which voyagers by sea are
often compelled to quench their thirst. IS apt to
provoke dysentery and other serious complaints,
but when the BitterS are mixed with it. it becomes
harmless Truly this great protective inyigOrant
Is an Invaluable travelling companion. june Slim

Trouble has again broken out in the
schuylkill coal region. A large mob of
miners, some of them from the Lehigh re-
gion, appeared at Mahanoy City, last Thurs
day, and stopped work at several of the COL
lieries. The men of one colliery refused to
quit, and riot being threatened, the Chief
Burgess arrested one of the men and dis
persed the crowd. Later in the day the
men again gathered at their work, the
Sheriff ordered them to dispdrse, and was
fired at by one of them. The firing then
became general and the Sheriff was driven
into the town. In the conflict several were
wounded on both sides, some seriously.
The Sheriff then telegraphed for military
aid, which was at once furnished by the
Governor, and troops were forwarded to the
scene of the riot. Quiet was restored on
their arrival, but it was not believed the
trouble was at an end.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT SUSTAINED.

GALVESTON, June I'm the u S. Dis
trict Cont TO-DAY. the trinl nf Hn-,--.- n------
wall, manager of the fremont Opera House,
for refusing two colored women seats in the
parquette of his theatre, was concluded and
resulted in his being fined $780, In the
Galveston Neaos of Saturday morning last,
appeared an editorial criticism on the con-
struciions and ruling of Judge Morril in the
above case. The article was moderate in
lis expressions, being entirely shorn of per-
sonalities, and was simply reflex of the ex-
vert the editor deemed to which the civil
rights bill was intended to apply, together
with review of the decisions of Justice
Bradley in the Grant parish case and the
slaughter-house case, before the Supreme
Court of the United States. This morning
in the United States Court, Judge Morril
took up the article which appeared in the
Neaos, and commented on it in severe terms
as an attempt to throw the court into ridi-
cule, and to inform the judge of the court
that his decisions were to be disregarded.
Having analyzed the article, Judge Morril
remarked that he could not suffer Congress
and The United States Court to 90 into
contempt by remaining silent, and there
upon instructed the clerk to issue an order
for the United States marshal to summon
the proprietors and publishers of the Gil
vesoon Neaos 70 appear to- morrow morning
and show cause why such an article should
appear. There is the greatest excitement
prevailing here regarding this action of
Judge Merril's, and the result tomorrow
morning is anxiously looked for.

The Philadelphia Eoen6ng Bulletin says
truly, "It may safely be affirmed that no.
where in the calendar of judicial proceed
ings in any country can parallel be pro-
duced for the general run of the testimony
which has been adduced during the last two
or three months Of the Beecher trial But
amazing as has been the general character
of the evidence of the principal Witnesses it
all sinks into paltry insignifcance before
Mr.. Beecher's wholesale denial of every
item Of testimony which has been brought
against him. For seven or eight days MI.
Beecher has sat in the witness chair and un-
der oath deuied, in the most minute detail,
all that has been sworn to by Mr.. Tilton,
by Mr.. Moulton, by Mrs. Moulton against
him. He has not explained away their evil
dence. He has not sought to modify, to
qualify their plain, straightforward stories.
He boldly gives the lie TO Them all from first
to last in gross, in detail in letter and spirit.
According to Mr.. Beecher the only import
ant witnesses who have told the truth are
Bessie Turner and himself. All the rest
are the most wicked, perjured liars, and
some of them are communi cants of Ply
mouth church."

We prefer an out-and-out Democrat pa
per to the one that claims to be independ-
ent, and yet bellies its claim by continually
denouncing the Republican party. The
journal that is not with us is against us,
and should be regarded as an open enemy
to our cause. We like true independence,
but the miserable counterfeit which some
men try to deceive the country with is like
a stuffed lion-good enough for sign
board, but poor substitute for the noble
king of the forest. Look out for the man
Or the paper that continually boasts of in
dependence. They will generally turn out
to be frauds. True independence shines
out in the acts, not in the words of man.

LEE I'm MISSISSIPPI

Here is another incident of Mississippi
life. About four weeks ago, mulatto girl,
aged 10, who had been living for some time
as servant in the house of a farmer, two and
half miles from Verona, in Lee county,
left her service and went to Verona, where
she became house servant, in order to at
tend an evening school. She had been at
her new place week, when one day the
farmer, her former employer, accompanied
by his father and neighbor, all armed with
shot guns, appeared before the house. Two
of the men came in and demanded the girl,
saying she belonged to them. She refused
to 60 with them, and declared that she was
free, which was true, of course. They then
knocked her down, took her by the feet,
dragged her thus through the house, through
the yard, into the street, her clothing torn
and deranged in the struggle, and she
screaming for help, and-this was in open
daylight and in the presence of several men,
besides women and children-set her on a
horse and carried her off. When they got
her home two of them tied her to tree and
fogged her barred back with green withes
until the blood ran. Then they took her to
the house and chained her with trace
chain and paddock to the bed-post. The
next day she was turned to work. and
chained up again al night. After some
days she made her escape, and found refuge
with Southern man, the county superin-
tendent of education, who, after proper no.
tice, sent her to the United States District
Attorney. From the District Attorneys
lips, received the account of the outrage.
Now, cruelty and violence may and do hap
pen in any State. The part of the story
which seems most horrible to me is this: It
is in evidence before the District Attorney,
that the Mayor of Verona, who is it's justice
of the peace, heard the girls cries and saw
the struggle, and when asked why he did
not interfere himself, testified that he
thought it was none of his business; as he
knew that it was only negro girl. Several
other men testified that they stood in their
doors and saw the girl dragged by her feet
out into the road. 1t was none of their bus
mess either. Finally, related this tale to
Democratic judge of the Supreme Court
of the State. He replied that brutality was
found everywhere, North as well as South,
and l could not, with all my efforts, appar-
emily, make him understand that what filed
me with indignation and hopeless disgust
was not so much the act itself, but the fact
that an officer of the law and several citi-
zens could witness it unmoved-because it
was only negro girl. If it had been a
white girl, no doubt the Mayor would have
interfered, and the judge would have been
indignant. If the brutes who should NAL
treat white girl SO, had been negroes, the
country would have risen to lynch them, and
the papers all over Mississippi would have
yelled with fuzzy. 7. Herald.

STRAWBERRY SHERBET.

Now that we are in the midst of the
strawberry season, it may not be inappro-
pirate to state that all who feel SO inclined
can make use of the following recipe for
the manufacture of delicious article of
strawberry sherbet:
''Take one pound of very nice, ripe straw
berries, and crush them to pulp with a
pestle; add to the mass, three pints of wa
ter, and the juice Of one lemon. Let it
stand for three or four hours after stirring
it up well. Weigh out one pound of gran
ulated or lump sugar, and put it in bowl.
Strain the crushed berries over it, and wiring
out the cloth in which they were strained,
SO as to extract all the juice. Stir up the
sugar to dissolve it. Strain again through
a jelly sieve. Serve in lemonade glasses,
with finely crnshad ice which can be pre-
pared by putting the ice into thick towel
and crushing it with the fiat of an axe or
hammer

The one-hundredth birthday of father
Henry Boehm, of the Newark Methodist
Episcopal Conference, and the seventy-sixth
of his ministry, was celebrated on Tuesday,
in the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church,
Jersey City. The church was crowded to
its utmost capacity. The venerable father
arrived some time after the beginning of the
services, and remained until the close. The
exercises consisted of sketch of the life of
Father Boehm, prepared by himself and the
Rev. John Atkinson, original poems and ad-
dresses by Professor Henry A. Buttz, the
Rev. Jacob Todd, the Rev. Cyrus D. Foss,
the Rev. David w. Bartine, and Bishop
Simpson. Father Boehm was born in Lam
caster county, Pa, and is said to be the
oldest minister in the United States.

The New Hampshire Republicans have
been defrauded of a portion of the fruits of
their late victory by the action of the pres
ent Democrat Governor and Council. These
honest officials when counting the returns
of the late election threw out 5000 votes cast
for General Matt Head, Republican candid
ate for Senator on the ground that they
were not legal, as Gen. Heads name was
not 'Natt," but Nathaniel. Through the
rejection or these votes, James Priest, a
Democrat, was declared chosen, and the
Democracy were thus enabled to obtain a
majority of one in the State Senate. The
Legislature was organized few days since.
In the Senate, by reason of this one major
ity, Democrat was chosen President. In
the House, the Republicans elected their
Speaker by ten majority.
