SHATTERED IDOLS.

The great scandal trial draws to a
close, and the public have by this
time reached a pretty thorough and
accurate estimate of the characters Of
Theodore Tilton and Henry Ward
Beecher. Both, it is safe to say, are
shattered idols,a and not all the news
paper writers or church congrega-
tions in the world can restore them
to their lost places. Tilton's fall is al
most as painful as that of Beecher.
lie is man Of exceptional gifts. God
gave him talents such as few men
receive. We all know what Mr.. Bee
cheer is. Formany years he has been
the foremost pulpit orator of the
world. He is q man of the highest
genius, and has made mark upon
his generation which centuries Of
time will not efface.
We have referred to these men and
to what they were, simply to show
how small and mean, how weak and
contemplate they may become under
the scathing review of their careers
and keen analysis of their characters
by counsel. 1t is interesting to note
how these two men appear under the
microscopic examination of the great
lawyers who are fighting their bat
ties. Probably there never was a
meaner creature held up to the pub
lie gaze than Tilton is, as exposed by
Judge Porter. A baser creature could
not be conceived of than this one up
on whom the vigorous English of the
pleader is exhausted. But next will
come Mr.. Beecher's trial, and in the
hands of sbillful advocate, such as
Mr.. Beach is, his conduct and char
acter is capable of equally if not
stronger denunclatlon. The ordeal
through which he has to pass is a
fearful one, and fiery as it will be, it
cannot be denied that he has supplied
the fuel. Ii he is not DESTROYED by
his own speeches, letters and acts of
apology, then he will escape c6nvic-
ton.

Am Immense Casfina

New York, May 25.-One Of the
largest casting ever made in New
! ork was turned out yesterday from
the Morgan Iron Works, Roach 81
Son, after nearly two months care
full preparation. 1t was the cylinder
for the new machinery IN the Chica-
go water works. The cylinder whose
outer surface issquare, is z IT. across
at the top, IL it. deep, land has a base
OF As inches. The mould in " hich it
was cast was constructed within
range of two enormous cranes and
near it, upon solid platform, was a
ladle or tank capable OF holding IL
tons Of molten iron. The iron to fill
the large vessels was carried from
the engines in small ladies, the pro-
cess consuming about two hours
At 4p. M, orders We're given to pour
the iron into the mould, and three
streams of fire leaped forth simultan-
eously from the three large ladies'
In less than minutes the % tons of
liquid iron was transferred into the
mould, and the casting was known
to be successful. Three rousinr
cheers from the workingmen greeted
the result. 1t will require DAYS to
cool the casting.

GRASSHOPPERS.

The grasshoppers have already ov-
errun Missouri and made entry into
Illinois, serious apprehensions of the
extension of their travels eastward
are now entertained. Inview of such
q contingency, and bearing in mind
the terrible destructiveness of these
enemies to all vegetation. it becomes
q question whether the subject of
their extirpation does not rightfully
demand the thoughtful consideration
of scientific men.
The undertaking would be an i'm
mense one even if some feasible meth
cd was known, but then it is to be
remembered that the advance of
these destroyers through the States
of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylva-
