.. MoULToN's TEsrIMoNY,

Moulton alleges that, in all his nunIer-
Gus liGtsf9icWs with Beecher about the
scandal, Beecheg always admitted, either
directly or inierentially, that he was
guilty Of the crime which he talked abont.
But Beecher himself made direct and
positive denial Of each and every one Of
the allegations Of MoultOn to that effect.
Here again we have unqualified contra
diction, and assured perjury on ono side
or the other. The ordinary opinion OF
the relative crodibllity Of these opposing
Witnessed must necessarily be affected
by MoultOns confession on the witness
stand that for years he had iudulged
In continuous public falsiRcation relative
to the scandal, and the undermining effect
Of this upon his general evidence can not
DO diminished by his claim that be ialsi-
fled for the sake Of Bcecher and Tilton.
II Is at least doubtful whether MOulton's
evidence is sufficient to convict Beecher.

<Ieanin. Rusty PIONS.

The following is said to be an efiicacious
method of cleaning rusty plows: Take quart
of water and pour slowly into it pint of sui
pburic acid. THE mixture will become quite
warm from chemical action, and this is the re;,-
son why the acid should be poured slowly into
the water, rather than into the acid Wash
the mold board, or any other iron that is rusty,
with this weak acid and let it remain on the
iron until it evaporates, and then wash itagain.
The object is to give time for the acid to dissolve
the rust. Then wash with water, and you can
see where the worst rusty spots are. Apply
some more acid and rub those spots with a
brick. The acid and the securing will remove
most of the rust. Then wash the mold board
thoroughly with water to remove all the acid
and rub it dry. Brush it over with petroleum
or other oil, and let it be until spring. When
you go to plow take bottle of acid to the
field and apply it to any spots that may remain
The acid and the securing Of the earth will
soon make it perfectly bright and smooth. If
all iron work be washed over with petroleum
as soon as we put our TOOLS implements and
machines aside for winter, it will keep them
from rusiing, and save a great deal of troubl:
and annoyance, to say nothing of depreciation
and loss.

1t seems to me to be most extraordinary
that any rejecting man should fail to per
ceive that continuance in power of the
present dominant party is not only preg-
nant with danger to our material inter-
ests, but to the very forms Of government
under which, for so many years, we have
lived in prosperity and peace.
Do, then, as am sure you will, roll up
such majorities for your candidates as was
recently done by your Democratic associa-
tes in California for theirs, thus carrying

Happy Husbands.

IT is a mans own fault if he is unhap-
py with his wife, in nine cases out of ten
1t is very exceptional woman who will
not be all she can be to an attentive hus-
band and more exceptional one who
will not be very disagreeable if she finds
herself willfully neglected. Itwould be
very easy to hate a man who, having
bound woman to him, made no effort
to make her happy; hard not to love one
who was constant and tender; and when
a woman loves she always strives to
please.
The great men of this world have often
been wretched in their domestic rela-
tions while mean and common men have
been exceedingly happy. The reason is
very plain. Absorbed in themselves,
those who desired the worlds applause
were careless of the little world at home
while those who had none of this egotism
strove to keep the hearts that were their
own, and were happy in their tenderness
No woman will love man the better
for being renowned or prominent.
Though he be first among men she will
only be prouder, not fonder; and if she
loses him through this renown, as is
often the case, she will not even be
proud. But give her love. appreciation,
kindness, and there is no sacrifice she
would not make for his content and CON-
fort The man who loves her we'll is her
hero and her king. No less hero to her
though he is not one to any other; no
less king though his only kingdom is
her heart and home.-Erchange

of hair, with the doll, is sent to the fe-

THE beauties Of ocean life are perhaps
as endless and astonishing as its grand
eurs and terrors. What could be more
fairy-like in real existence than the
creatures here described by correspond

The glass-like animals which swim on
the surface of the sea are daily renewed
when the weather permits; and at pres
ent there are some really lovely things
of this kind to be seen here which no.
where else could be exhibited, since the
Naples aquarium is the only one which
can draw supplies from a warm sea. The

A Recipe for Good Digestion.

DIR. BELLOWS remarks, in his new
work, +" How To Be Sick:
Nothing is better understood than that
there is connection between cheerful
ness and good digestion; and the trite
expression, "to laugh and grow fat" un-
doubtedly has its origin in observation
if not in philosophy. What an astonish-
ing amount and variety of food can be
disposed of and perfectly digested at one
sitting of cheerful and happy, not to say
jolly and merry, old friends, and that
without alcohol or other unnatural stim-
illus to help digestion. venture to say
more than three times as much as the
same individuals could eat and digest in
the same time if each took his meals by
himself
And this one fact is worth more than
all else can write to show the depend
ence of the digestive powers on the
state of the mind, and to prove that he
must be lean and haggard who, keeping
his mind constantly on his business,
bolts his meals in silence and solitude,
even in the presence of his family.
commend it to the careful consideration
of uncomfortable mortals who never
properly digest their food and whose
bones are too poorly clothed with flesh
and too poorly protected even to allow
them quiet rest, and who. therefore,
envy fat, sleek-headed men and such as
sleep O. nights"

A MesaIIiance, Not a Mistake.

THERE is in the Department of the In
terror at Washington at least one heroine
of mesalliance who has made woman
Of herself, which she never would have
been had she stayed at home and proba-
bly, married without choice. Her father
was a wealthy New York merchant,
and took his daughter travelling with
him over Europe for a couple of years.
She was the only daughter of the family,
and her father and mother and brother
watched her closely and cared for her
tenderly. In fact, they forgot she was
human being, and always wanted to keep
their angel in the house. None of the
young men were good enough for her,
and she was not allowed to receive or go
into company. But she was allowed to
drive out in fine carriage, and on the
box was good-looking young coachman.
He was the only young man she was al
lowed to talk to, and he warmed her
heart And both were human. What
wonderful resolution it must have taken
to induce her to marry him! He was
conscientious boy, too, but he could not
resist such chance. 1t would not
have been human had he refused
to link his life with that of the girl. And
their lives and fortunes were joined, and
the house ragged, but the young couple
kept out of the storm. They went to
living for the mselves, and both put their
former lives all behind them. She began
teaching music and writing for the peri
odicals. She did her first work, and
really just began to live. He was busy,
too-not driving coach. They breasted
the cross currents of the world together
and thrived. She is a Government clerk
at good salary and is well paid for lit
erary work, too. He is educating himself
up to her high station of perfect indie
pendence. And both are happy and
comfortable and live; they do not simply
stay. Her father is dead. Her mother
and brother are enjoying the luxuries of
fortune in New York. She would not
go back to that life again for double the
fortune. Life is worth more than that
1t may be called a mcsalliance, but it
was not a mistake, for it resulted in
happy, active lifc.-St. Louis Republican.
