BEECHER-TILTOE.
Now that Frank Moulton is out of tn,
way, the sensation in the great tragl-
comedy now being displayed in Brooklyn,
is the examination OF Tilton. If Moultor
was surprise. Tilton is still more of one.
From the time he stepped into tie witness
place he has held the attention of the people
very closely. He is even better witness
than Moullou was. The lawyers have not
been able to bulge him a particle he
keeps his temper admirably, and is as cool
and self-possessed as though he were de-
livering lecture. His face wears an ex
preston Of sadness, and he is evidently
worn by the long and wearing struggle.
But he is conducting himself admirably.
He says nothing harsh or vlndictive.
Whenever his eyes rest upon his wife they
fill with tenderness, and bis looks al
Beecher are not ugly.
TiltOn's testimony is very direct and
positive. 1t would seem that Moulton aud
Tiltnn's testimony ought to convict
Beecher, but nobody can tell what Beecher
has in reserve II is said that when he
gets upon the stand the fur will fly. lie
will deny the truth Of all the statements of
Moulton and Tilton, treating the whole
matter as conspiracy, and claims to Dc
able to show this He has in readiness an
explanation for all his own letters which he
claims will make them as innocent as new
milk-that they referred to matters entirely
foreign TO Mrs. TiltOn, and are in no sense
confessions. Whether ne can do this or
not he keeps up his courage wonderfully,
and is not only not burdeue.l by the posi-
ton he is in, but is even jolly. Mrs. TltOn
and Mrs. Beecher are i'll the courtroom
all the time, and they chat with Beecher
from time to time as jolly as grigs.
The trial will occupy weeks yet, and
when done, the public will be in the precise
position they were at the outset, for the
Jury will never agree in the world. Ply
mouth Church will accept it as an acquittal,
and the people outside will remain divided
in opinion as they are now. Nothing will

BLOOD.
Some years ago it was given out by med
ical authorities that consumption, in GER
tain stages, could be cured by drinking
warm blood from the OK. This treatment
was urged for not only consumptives, but
for all cases of weakness and general debil-
ity. Over two hundred people visit the
saugbter-houses in this city daily for this
purpose. They hold their glasses 30 as to
catch the stream as it flows hot from the
diving animal, and drink it steaming as it
is. yentured to taste it. and did not find
it so bad as l had supposed. 1t tastes
something like new milk, with a slightly
saltish flavor. The habitual drinkers CLAIM
to be much benefited by il, and many of
them have learned to like it. They only
take the blood from healthy, good cOndi-
toned steers that have been long enough
off the cars TO be perfectly cool

A meeting of the principal railroad presi.
