We understand that Mr.. Henry G..

he be a witness for the plaintiff or de-

This is Just the sort of witness an inno-

Such man has nothing to conceal, and
in order to make bis vindication
against an atrocious charge thorough and
convincing, he will exhort everybody who
knows anything about the affair in dis

way soever it may hit! His story, if
told for the plaintiff, will certainly be
more damaging to Beccher than if the de-
PENDANT boldly demanded it, for it will be
said that the latter dare not call him
himself. Perhaps, too, Bowen would tes.
tify in Beecher's favor. There is no as.
surance that his facts will help Tilton.
If he proposes to tell the truth only,
surely he ought to be the witness of Mr..
Beecher, who is hi< pastor, and who COW

The odd contrasts Of chromo-civilized
life have been brought out very strikingly
in Bowcn's position. He has evi.

years, and it would appear by the
tripartite agreement, did circulate dirty
stories about Mr.. Beecher, and he has
been solemnly accused, in open court, by
Beechcr's counsel, as party to a most
horrible conspiracy against his own pastor.
Nevertheless, pe1edea,te lite, he still retains
one of the most conspicuous pews in
Plymouth church, where he sits on Sun
days, with upturned, docile countenance,
listening to the pastor aforesaid, whom
he has lately limited in published card
that he (Bowon) would ruin by his evil
dence if called upon.

very desirable food: "One pound of loaf

What Some other People Think
About 1t.
From the New York Times.l

From the New York Times.]
Another week of the Beecher trial
closes without bringing it perceptibly
nearer to an end. We believe that good
deal Of 'judicious skipping" is now be-
ing done by the readers of the reports,
and perhaps, in the course of month or
two more, no one bat the persons direct
ly interested in the trial will attempt to
wade through the evidence. If there are
to be any more witnesses produced like
that shameless mink, ''Bessie Turner"
nothing will be lost. The testimony
taken, this week. clearly shows that it is
Theodore Tilton who is being tried-a
fact which some people suspected, long
ago. We would not presume to antici-
pate the result of the trial, but we really
do not SEQ how the jury can fail to find
ss'Theodore' guilty. Mr.. Beecber is ex.
pected to make his appearance as wit.
ness after the entire colored population
of New York and Brooklyn has been ex-
amined, buff the sole object Of the trial
is to show what very queer sort of per-
son sTheodore' is, what is the use of
proceeding any further?
From the New York Nation.]
The evidence Of the defense thus far
has been directed almost exclusively to
showing that Tiltonp was in difficulties,
that his life was immoral, and that he did
try to use certain charges against Mr..
Beecher as means of retrieving his for
tunes; the question whether these
charges are true has, however, hardly
been touched upon, and will not be in all
probability until Mr.. Beecher himself
takes the stand, and, owing to their ma
turc, he will have to fight them almost
alone. Supposing all the testimony
which has thus far been produced against
Tilton to be true, the main question still
remains untouched, because the hypothe-
sis that Tilton is mean, or lewd, or bru-
ed, does not exclude the hypothesis that
his wife had been led astray, though it
does doubtless tell in mitigation of dam
ages, by showing that he lost nothing by
what he in the Brooklyn dialect calls
s*the invasion OF his home.''

The trial Of Mr.. Tilton made good
deal Of progress, Thursday, the testimony
of q negro waiter at Woodhull's house
directly cont1 adicting parts of Tilton S
testimony. Arumor has sprung up that
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has some

will naturally surprise most persons who
have read the report Of the trial during
the last fortnight. The nature of Mr..
Beecher's connection with the affair can
only be guessed at, but it is said that he
will be called as witness for Mr.. Til.
toms prosecutors, and will give testimony
which will convince the public that Til
ton is guilty.

Lettuce Culture.

the plants in it, seven or eight inches
apart each way. The frame must be we'll

the middle Of the day, increasing the air.

be had to water the plants freely so that
they may be kept in constantly grow

ing plenty oflight, heat, air and water.

remedy for the so-called chicken cholera {:
Make mixture Of two ounces elch of

sulphur; put it in their food in proper

scalded meal. In severe cases. give about
one third Of a teaspoonful in a meal pei

no symptoms Of disease among them.
Concerning carrets.-The stretching
and putting down in place carpet is not,
says the Ohio Farmer, one of the most
pleasant jobs of work, yet if the feat be
accomplished satisfactorily, the pleasure
derived from the knowledge that the work
has been we'll done will nearly, if not
quite, compensate one for the bruised
knuckles, torn finger nails, and bleeding
cuticle the usual adjuncts- of carpet
stretcnlng.
When fitting carpet to room it
! should measure one inch shorter in
length and one inch less in breadth-if it
be of firm fabric and more than an
inch difference made in the measurement
if the tension Of the material be greater.
Tack each of the four corners of the car
pet firmly in place, stretching them to
the desired point, of course, previous to
mailing; then work up the edges as de-
sired. The progress may BE- SLOW but it
will prove satisfactory in the eud. We
long ago discarded carpet s:retchers, on
account of the wear and tear of the car
pet consequent upon their use; prefer
ring the agency of the hands only when
putting down carpet. A carpet that is
firmly stretched in place is much easier
swept and looks infinitely better than one
loosely thrown down, or one with curved
lines set off with pleats to accommodate
any looseness-rcsult Of overst1 etching at
one point and too little At others.

arc the best for shipping in. Never use

sides the difficulty in rendering them per-
fectly sweet, the dingy appearance of the
firkin will detract from the Price of the
butter.
If it is to be sold in some near market,
crooks make good and clean packages.
From their liability to break, but princi-
pally because butter cannot be perfectly
excluded from the air when in transit.
stone crooks should not be used for carry
rying long distances.
In packing butter, sprinkle little salt
on the bottom of the package, and then
place layer upon layer, pressing one firm
~ upon another, against the sides, so that
all air is perfectly excluded. If you
have not enough at one packing to fill the
package, fill up with brine, to be poured
off and the whole wiped dry before more
is put in. Soproceed till within quarter
or half an inch Of the top. Head up
tight, and fill vacancy completely full,
through the cork-hole in the head, with
brine, and stop all close.
Keep the packages in cool, dry cellar,
or, better, in an ice-house, until wanted
for sale. Before shipping, pour off the
brine, and having, previously to packing
the butter, weighed and marked the pack
age, now weigh the whole; subtract the
tare, and mark legi5ly on the head the
gross, tare, and net weight. Thus you
may have ''Gilt-Edge Butter that will
keep from June to June. Thus there will
be no necessity to ship except in cold
weather, when good butter is always
scarce and will command high price.

How to Grind Wheat for Feed.

A writer in the Farmers Union gives
the following instructions: 1t should be

be cracked as fine as possible without

finer and for hogs finer still. We think
an iron mill is preferable to a burr stone
mill, for the kernal can be cut better in
an iron mill without Touring. We have
run horse power feed mill for the past
four years, and done much custom work

nine-tenths of them agree with us. We
