PADDY WARDS EPIrAPB.

@tIW ANAA a AANA--~-
There was a droll debate the other
day at a meeting Of the Guardians Of
the Drogheda Union. 1t happened IN
this way. Long ago in Drogheda there
lived one Paddy Ward, jOvial gentle
man, who took a fancy to erecting his
own monument in the place where he
intended to be buried. He did 50; and
upon the stone he caused to be inscrib-
ed the following: Beneath this stone
here lieth one, That still his friends did
please; To heaven hope he's surely
gone, to enjoy eternal ease. Hedrank.
he sang, whilst here on earth, Lived
happy as a lord, Ard now be has re-
signed his breath, God rest him, Paddy
Wardl'
Having set up this memorial Of him
self, Mr.. Ward, according to tradition,
dedicated it by giving a party on the
'gloriously drunk" In due time he
was gathered to his fathers and placed
under the stone. When the Rev. Mr..
Powderly, came to rule spiritually over
the vicinage, he was greatly shocked
and scandalized by the inscription. and
he ordered it to be effaced. allowing
only the words "GOd rest Paddy Ward"
to remain. Then, indeed, there was
row and riot and rumpus in that
parish, and Mr.. Owen Markey,
taking the matter up, asked for
the dismissal Of Johnny McGeOugh,
the sexton who had not reported
the defacement. Mr.. Markey said
that so much did be admire the inscrip-
ton that whenever he had employed q
stonecutter he had always ordered him
''tO give a httle touch to Paddy Wards
tombstone" The Rev. Mr.. POwderly
being called upon to defend his PrtB1G
fqeie piece Of vandalism, made a most
solemn speech to the Guardians, IN
which he argued the matter thus;
There would be no sense at all IN
writing that Paddy Ward drank. if It
was not intended 10 convey that be
drank too much-in Plaia English,
that be was a drunkard; and the
words he sang could only mean that
he sang the indecent and ribald songs
in which drunkards are won't to IN
dulge," s'and vet, " said Mr. Powderly,
eve are told that TO heaven he is surely
gone" Was this a thing stO be
read" by the children Of the PARISH"
1T a time, too, when "the vice Of IN
temperance was Spreading over the
whole country?" He hadn't IN the
least injured the stone, but he had
given the deceased A respectable, de-
cent, temperance epitaph, with "God
rest Paddy Ward" as legible as ever.
The Board Of Guardians appears to
have been bothered and unable to come
to any decision. Mr.. Mangan asked
Mr.. Markey IF he intended to renew
the inscription?" Mr. Markey an.
swered promptly aud dscisively, Il
viii, by the blessing Of GOdl" and 30
the matter was allowed to drop.

NOT LOYAL ENOUGH.
KnnrrIIle ChronlcIe. june Q.

hllhANAAlE NAlAUAAlAAN1 AAAl -sDr
A rumor IS N circulation to the ef-
feet that a new daily Democratic paper
is to be started at Nashville. 1t is to
be a thoroughbred Democratic concern
of the old ante bellum school. The
move is made, says the Columbia Her
aid. on the ground that the two dailies
now published there are not sufficiently
loyal to the party. This is the first
time we ever heard the party loyalty
of these journals called IN question.
Their LOYALTY is of the most intense
character. They support everything
the party does or says, no matter what
1t Is.
But seriously, the Nashville papers
are second to none IN the South, as
enterprising newspapers. We have
given them some OF the hardest hcks
at tunes that we could, and If they
strike us we will do it again; but a.
the same time, We give them credit for
enterprise, and think a Democratic
daily at that place now would find Its
publication an uphill business" 1t
is probable that that dissatisfaction
dates hack to the recent Senatorial cleo
ton at Nashville, pending which the
two dailies published there failed TO
take sides to any extent worthy oI
mention

Every Point on which Beach
Wished to Reopen the Case

Beecher Defended and Her Hus-
band AsSailed.

NEW YORK, June 24-The Herald Of
this forenoon, having published the afti-
dayits of MeSsrs. Leys, Loader and Price,
ccrrobOrating the stories published some
DAYS since, and on account Of which Mr..
Beach attempted to have the case reOpened,
Mrs. Tiltcn wiz tomorrow publish an
affidavit in her own vindicatiOn, in which
she SAYS that no person was employed in
laying carpets at the time specified in the
affidavits; nor, to the best of her knowledge
and belief. were Price and Loader ever
in her house at any time; that the narrative,
so far as il relates in any manner 10 her
self or Mr.. BeecheT, IS wholly and utterly
false, and that the occurrence described
never took place either in October, 1859, or
at any time whatsoever. She says:
"There never was any imprOpTiety Of
conduct or any improper relations between
Henry Ward Beecher and myself, and all
charges of adultery or improper conduct,
or Of any attempt on bis part or mine TO
have or solicit any improper or indeeoTous
relations or acts, are utterly and absolutely
false. Nor did any act OF word ever pass
between Mr.. Beecher and myself which
could not with equal prOpriety have passed
between father and his daughter"
In conclusion Mrs. TiltOn says:
81 declare, IN the presence Of Almighty
God, that am absolutely innocent Of all
the offences charged against me with rela-
tion to Henry Ward Beecher, except only
that, under the influence Of my husband
which found it impossible tOresist so long
as 1 persisted in living with him, l have
made charges against Mr.. Beecher which
were false and entirely unfOunded, and
which my husband knew to be false; and l
declare that l left my husband voluntarily
and without solicitation or induCement
from any person, and especially without
solicitation or suggestion on the part Of Alr.
BeecEer, but, so far as l have any knOwi-
edge or information Of his views, contrary
to the desire of Mr.. Beecher; and l did so
because 1 had found by sad experience that
the only result of my long gendeavor to serve
my husband was that kept myself in bis
power, and that it was impossible for me,
so long as 1 lived with him, to resist his
demands or to speak the truth when he re-
Quired me to deny it.

NORTHWESTERN CROPS.
The Prospect From a Chicago
Standpoint.

A slight Decrease I'm Acreage OF
wheat, with Good COnditiOn-COrn
Planted More Largely than Last
Year.
CHICAGO, June 24-The Western RU-
raj has collected large amount Of infOr-
nation about the crops in the northwest,
and which it will publish in this weeks
edition. The following is a summary:
wheat.
The reports clearly indicate that the
acreage Of wheat this year in the Western
States is less than last year. Thus in Illi-
nOis but three reports indicate increased
acreage, while twice as many show but
one-haIf as much or even less. In Wis
consin no reports show an increase,
and but two an equal acreage, while
seven show not more than One-half. In
Iowa the same condition is shown. In
Michigan the acreage was not materially
reduced. In some of the newer States, in
creased acreage is reported.
As to the condition, the reports are not
unfsvOrable, the majority of all indicating
at least an average condition. Michigan
makes a poor showing. Illinois stands
well. Wisconsin and Iowa complain
very largely, but the general average is not
bad.
Corn
Undoubt edly the acreage planted in the
West was larger than any former year. In
Illinois no report shows less acreage than
last year, with reports Of an increase Of 20
or 25 per cent. In Iowa the same is true,
with several reports Of an Increase Of 80
per cent. Wisconsin is not a great corn
State, but shows an increase Of a. least %
per cent in acreage. Michigan and Mis-
souri, also show a considerable increase.
The reports Of the condition is not 50
good as is desirable, but it is probable that
many Of the unfavOrable reports indicate a
lateness Of the crop rather than bad condi-
tion otherwise. Bearing 10 mind the com
parative quantities grown in the different
States, our reports show a prospect at the
middle of June Of about fOur-fifths Of an
average crop.
