that when Gen. Tracy had his interview with Miss
Bessie Turner, at Mrs Ovington's house, he the
witness) and Mrs. Tilton sat on the back piazza to
escape the heat and who declared that projecting
brick wall protected that piazza from the suns
rays, was subjected to keen analysis Finally, the
orator explained, amid burst of laughter in which
auditors, counsel, and jurymen joined, Now, some
times men run their heads against brick wall but
the trouble with Mr. Martin was that he dashed out
his brains for want of brick WALL and then he
added, with the utmost drollery of tone and manner
"A.-B.-Martin a-broiled-Martn"
The orator also considered the testimony of Mary
Catharine Mcdonald, and the general character of
Mr. Beecher's evidence. The nature of the rebuttal
evidence, and the theories Of the plaintiffs and the
defendants respective cases. were likewise reviewed
An amusing incident occurred at the close of the
session. During the afternoon package of papers
was brought into court and got into the hands Of
the plaintiffs counsel. As the jury were about to
retire, Mr.. Beach addressed Judge Nelson, saying
that he had package of newspapers addressed to
the jurymen, which had been brought into
court by boy, and about which nothing
was known. He desired Judge Nelson to
open one of the papers and see what it contained.
Judge Nelson accordingly took the package. and
opened the paper which was addressed to the fore
man. Everybody leaned forward in silence, expect
ing some startling revelation. The Judge, after
tearing off the wrapper, remarked that he saw the
picture of gum and lie concluded that the paper
an illustrated one. After a moments inspee-
ton he pronounced the mysterious papers to be
illustrated and quite harmless" He said he
would give them to the jurors after their
duties were completed. The papers remain in the
possession Of Judge Nelson. The general opinion
was that the whole thing was practical joke

SALIENT INCIDENTS IN Mr.. EvARrss
SPEECH

One of the most telling portions OF the speech OF
Mr.. Eyarts Yesterday was partly addressed to MI
Tilton He had been explaining the contuneiy
which has always attached to the husband Oh an
adulteress as illustrated by the meaning OF
the English words which describe such q
man. and the severity of the Reman law
affecting such persons The argument OF the
orator was that there was moral lmpIopaDlnty el
the highest sort that Theodore Tilton had suffered
this disgrace in his family. Turning toward sr'
Tilton he said slowly and almost In tones OF re-
buke while the audience listened III DEAD slIence'
and Mr.. Tlton's face flushed very red, How do you
dare to say az you do say, and think truthfuliyl
certainly hone truthfully for your character
that until July you had no doubt, no fear,
or thought or SUSPICION III regard TO the intercourse
of Mr.. Beecher with your family-how can You say
that and not feel that you have forced yourself into
the dilemma Of choosing whether you ta2e the con-
tumely of the English opprobrium or the dark siam
Of the Roman condemnation"
Much Of Mr. Evarts's address yesterday might be
called didactic in character He seemed to De seek
ing to lead the minds of the jurymen into legal
methods of thinking and reasoning The objects and
nature of evidence were explained, and the orator
appeared TO take great pains to point ont the GROUNDS
Of belief ill., and the proper tests OF the tuth o. e
tmony. After stating these general propositions IN
the clsarest language, ne took examples Hom ,iie
evidence in this and deduced conciusons W 'e

SPELLING BEEs.-It is an ingenious mad
ness on the part of many pleasant people
to come forward and show that they do
not know iSJss to spell. Yet Spelling Bees
have become national institutions, and, as
our dispatches show, even Washington city
has been invaded Fortunately, no one
knows how to spell, and the people who
blunder have the consciousness Of knowing
that the public is with them. Indeed, if
.orthography were decided by the majority
as things Of greater consequence are
there is not a word in the dictionary but
would shrivel away to such shape that
the oldest schoolmaster in the community
would refuse to acknowledge it, while Of
every word of five syllables it would be
written as it is of the innOcents chronicled
i'll the Philadelphia Ledger, "gone to join his
grandmother" Perhaps the worst spoilers
in the world are the people who make the
dictionaries. There was Noah Webster.
What cad! lie spelled shad with c,
which was worse than the honest old Mr.
Creamer, Representative from PENNSYLVANIA
whom John Randolph accused of breach
of privilege in spelling Congress with X
By any of the learned pundits who form til,
jury at the spelling matches old Webster
would have been put down as the wors
speller and the most ignorant man in tn,
United States. Only he was caught anc
exposed, and like many another man caugh
in the act, he invented a theory to cove
his delinquency and pretended to spe
wrong OH principel. 1t was like Bill Kinl
who, while the subsidy investigation was i
progress, turned up in Canada "lOoking fc
stock" But this difficulty with the maker
of dictionaries softens the fall of the val
man who goes down in wrestling with har
words for he has only to claim to be judge
by some other standard. And what is tn
standard? Here are Webster and WorcestG
and Walker and Richardson and johnson
and many less famous authorities, and the
all differ on many words; and who ca
decide the differences of these doctors ?
