The Work of the Defense.

Mr.. Beecher's sons are working very
hard in his behalf, and every day are

outside of the court room. Henry
Beecher, Jr., is smart young insurance
agent in Court street, Brooklyn, and
during his trial he intrusts his business
to his brother Herbert, and joins with
his brother William in helping the law
yers. Mr.. J. L. Hill, Gen. Tracy, and
Mr.. P. Ready are busy all Of every day,
outside of the court, with different
branches of the case, and it is asserted
by one who is in Mr. Beecher's employ
that six lawyers whose names have not
been made public are at work for him

committing his opening speech to mem

into the courtroom to deliver it, The
defense have long list of witnesses, and
the working lawyers outside of the court
room are learning specifically what each
can testify to. They pass the result Of
their work into Mr.. Shearman's hands,
who has his clerks trained to arrange the
matters to nicely, and the result will
be that the facts for the defense will be

THE MAGIC HARP.
BY CONSTANTINE A. BROOKS.

I sat in the winter twilight,
The red in the west burned low,
And the redder light of the blazing logs
Streamed out on the drifted snow,
And thought of the olden story
The harp of long ago.
When its strings were touched, came only
A note-like half-said word;
But sudden awaked by that sound
A strain responsive stirred;
Above, below, on every side,
Grand harmonies were heard.
A deep low music swe eping up
The sea surf on the ledge;
A soft sweet music breathing down
The night-breeze in the sedge;
A loud shrill music whistling through
The pines on the mountain edge.
But only he who touched the strings
Could hear those chords profound;
All others heard the faint low note
And the silence dumb around,
And they said, "'tis but an idle toy
This harp so poor of sound"
l thought tits the heart of the poet
This harp of olden time;
The grandest song he sings is but
A poor half spoken rhyme,
But he hears respondent everywhere
A harmony sublime.
For day and night forever
Is sounding in his ears
The mystery of the universe
The marvel of the spheres
All chords and discords blend and make
The raptures of the years.
And day and night forever
He strives, and strives in vain,
To breath the passion of his heart
The phantom of his brain;
TO utter forth in tongues of time
The grand eternal strain.

TILTON VS.. BEECHER.
The Great Brooklyn Battle Court
Scenes and Trial Items.

The Way Mr.. Beecher Is played Out"
from the New York Star.]
The defendant is in excellent health,
and performs, without ceasing, the ire
mendous round of duty imposed upon
him by his several spheres of labor. Last
week, for instance, he preached on Sun
day, lectured once, attended and spoke
at his Friday night meeting, officiated at
four funerals, married five couples, edit
cd the Christian Union, scanned three
hundred and fifteen letters, wrote at least
a score, met with his counsel, often at
consultation, endured the dominion of a
tremendous influenza, and prepared for
the Sunday labor of the ensuing week.
Obviously little Carpenter was right when
he echoed, "Beecher is played out

namely: How He would appear in the
character of married man. If investi-
cation proved that He was married, it
would add new glory to his character.
The probability is he never was, and
even Renan affirms it. Yet it is by no
means certain. He admits that if Jesus
were married, the world would never re-
oeive Him as the only begotten Son Of
God. But then, he asks, would Mrs.
Iilton love Him any less?

Tilton HOpe1essly Ruined.
from the Utica Observer.

Whatsoever may be the outcome of
this great trial, Tilton is o ruined man.
No publisher would care to employ him
as the editor of a political or religious
journal. The atmosphere of the Brook
Ign City Court will cling about him for
ever. His notoriety has swamped his
fame, and the paths to honorable dis
tinction are closed and barred against
him. Even though the pastor of
Plymouth Church steps down and out,
and the world turns from him as from
guilty creature, there is no salvation for
Theodore Iilton. His home-life is hence
forth dreary blank. His voice raised
in behalf of any pending public question
would be an empty sound falling on
vexed, unwilling ears.

Prize-Ring Training.
from the Herald

The gossip of the trial is found at the
lunch-houses. There all the stray bits of
history In the lives of the principals have
chance of being told. Many are true,
many wear the semblance of truth, and
a great many are purely apocryphal
Among many other things told at lunch
about the chief actors in the trial was a
story that, before the case began, Tilton,
| Beecher, and Moulton went into active
physical training, and that the two
former still continue the practice.
Beecher gets up at five o'clock, takes a
cold bath, and afterward exercises with
| dumb-bells for half an hour. Then he
spends another half hour pUmmeling a
sack filed with sand. Another half hour
is spent with pair of Indian clubs, after
which he takes a smart walk to Prospect
park and repeats dozen times the ascent
of the hill where the Prospect tower
stands. He eats porterhouse steaks
when he returns home, rand washes them
down with Dublin porter. In this way
he has reached the strength and muscular
vigor of q prize-fghter Tilton has gone
further and superadded to all this, prize
ring practice in private parlor. Moul-
ton tried a variety of ways to harden his
physique and tone his nerves to the
steadiness of a rope-walker's. The re-
suit is seen in the freshness that charac-
terized Moulton after his ten days ordeal
as witness, and the splendid health so
palpable in the faces of plaintiff and de-

TIE STATE PRISON CONTRO-
vERSY.

The Architects Report 10 Sustained.
The Board of State Prison Commits
sioners met yesterday to hear and deter
mine The matters at issue between az
Senator Thompson. the contractor for
building the wall OF the new prison on
the Truckee, and til. architect, Mr.. 5. f.
Hoole. The facts Of the case as near as
we can learn are: That there were two
kinds of wall upon the building of which
the Prison Board asked for bids; that
one was q rubble wall and the other a
wall of solid masonry; and that Thomp-
sons bid was the lowest placed before
the Board. The defect. if any, in Mr..
Thompson bid seems to be that he failed
to state which kind of wall he would
build for the sum bid. This matter is
what the Board determined yesterday.
They decided that he land his bonds
men OF course) was held to build wall
of cut stone, solid. This, so We hear
from professed judges of such work, will
be very disa strous to Thompson. The
architects views in the matter are sus-
tanned. Some idea Of what Mr. Hoole's
position is. may be gathered from the
following. which We clip from yester-
days Reno Journal There appears
to be a slight misunderstanding between
the architect and the contractor of our
new State Prison, and in consequence
the work has been discontinued until the
Board Of Prison Commissioners have
beard and determined the matter. The
architect, Mr.. S. F. Hoole claims that
the work now being done by William
Thompson, the contractor. for bnild-
ing the outside walls and guard tow
ers, is not il the slightest degree in
with the contract and speci-
fications, in that: First-the wall is not
being laid in regular courses, AS called
Tor by tho specifications; but is being !
laid in broken courses. The architect /,
says that the joints on the face Of the !
wall are from ). to l inches. and in /
The body of the wall there are no joints,
but :he rock is placed promiscuously in |
he wall, leaving from l to 3 inches
space between rocks. and in most in
stances not half filing the interstices
With mortar, while the contract calls for
q joints throughout the wall, and each
tone well bedded with mortar. The
'rchitect claims that with such wall as
5 now being laid prisoner with a sharp
pike or table knife can easily trench in
ne hour; that for purposes Of strength
IS useless; and that IN fact the work,
5 done by the contractor, is not only
lot in compliance with TIE specifca-
ions and contract. but is so utterly q
allure to comply with any part of its
,aterial points that to accept the work
nder the contract would be gross out
age upon the rights and interests of the
tate, and in the opinion of architect
[oole there is but one course to pursue
reject the entire work so far as done,
Icept the foundation to the towers and
rebuilt.
