berause the people % Brooklyn will not
let il rest Mr. Beecher's late appear
ance OF tght has not been maintained
Shearman, his attorney and chi friend,
holds himself in defiant attitude. but
he cannot keep Beecher up to the mark
The fact is, the Rev. gentleman feels
that the world is against hiIn-he feels
hat.whether guilty of the offense as
charged or not, there has been enough
of imprudence aud folly in his inter
course with the feminine part OF his
flock TO leave more upon his name than
clergyman ought to have. He knows
that the clergy generally believe him
| guilty, and that he has lost standing in
his profession. Therefore, Mr.. Beeeher
will very soon step down and out. De-
/ spite Shearman's blusier, and the curl
ously devoted support of the church,
Mr.. BeeciIer is lost man. If guilty, of
course it is all right, if innocent, he is
the most unfortunate man living.
What wide spread destruction this
scandal has caused. The abIest preacher
in the world has lost his power. Tilton
is ruined financially, and in reputation.

with a nasty quarrel on her hands which
she cannot let go; Bowen, with two libel
suits. There has been nothing but
misery, trouble and wretchedness from
beginning to end. ''Be virtuous and
you will be happy"

The officers who were privy to the scheme
kept the entire force searching in all the
places where lie was not, till he was
safely landed. Now his lawyers will
move heaven and earth TO make COM
promise. Tweed will return enough of
the money he has stolen to make a de
cent dividend, and he willreturn to take
his old place in New York politics. The
old man is anxious to get into power
again, for he has great many old scores
to settle. He is viEdictive fellow, and
If he ever does get back, woe to those

CHKIsTMAs GIFTS.
The large importing houses of fancy
wares show few signs of the hard times
during the holiday season. To an nc
customed eye the stock may not appear
so large as Ill former seasons, when
money was rolling about; but articles
are more tasteful and select Such
canoes, broEzrs, aud elegant pieces of
gold and silver ware never were shown
as to-day The dealers say that they
have not felt the hard times affect their
custom, bnt expect they will before long {.

which is wrought with most exquisite
art, till it looks like film of white Grape
