The latest phase in the Beecher case
Is as strange as any that preceded it.
At the close of the scandal suit, when
Beecher was partially whitewashed by
the disagreement of the jury, he insti-
tuted proceedings against Moulton for
libel. The object of the suit was
to break the force of the Mutual
Friends" testimony, and that of his
wife, which was damaging to the
Plymouth Pastor. The District Attor-
ney of Brooklyn now seeks to avoid
the prosecution of the case and en-
dsavors to have Beecher and Moulton
agree to nolle prosequi. This Beecher
readily consents to, but Moulton will
not listen to it and he wants the case
to come to trial. Here then is a case
in which the public prosecutor wants to
shirk his duty and a man who swore
lie had been libeled wants to let it drop,
but the alleged criminal, the base ibeler,
as Beecher's partisians call Moulton,
insists that the trial must proceed. 1t
affords him opportunity to vindicate
his good name and show up the Rever-
end Henry in his true colors, and he
does not propose to let it pass to crafty
him or anybody else. This libel suit
may disclose facts in the life of the
eminent divine not at all compliment
tary to the shepherd and many of the
thoroughbreds of his flock.

A FOOLISH LAW.

The act of the Legislature passed last
winter concerning the collection of poll
taxes. is exceedingly inconsistent and
nonsensical 1t requires the Assessor to
make his return to the Audi
tor in September, at which time
the assessments of personal prop
erty shall be entered upon the
assessment roll by the Auditor.
The Assessor, however is to retain the
blank receipts till the second Monday
in December. The law passes the as
sessment list out of the Assessors
hands but retains the blank receipts
therein for two months and makes no
provision for any one to collect the tax
es. The author of that bill must have
been dreaming over some of Sharon's
Ophir Stock. 1t seems to us that the
proper course to pursue is for the AS
SCISSOR to proceed to collect personal
property tax till the second Monday in
December and proceed in all respects
as heretofore, so far as practicable, and
let results take care of themselves.

AN American Phimsoll has been brougt
to new note by the Chicago Tribune.
His name was Sydney S. Burton, and
in the era of reckless steamboating on
the Mississippi and the Ohio he lived
In Cleveland. He noticed in reading
newspaper reports of wrecks, that an
undue number of vessels yaluably Ia
den were burned in lonely spots and
sunk in deep water. At length the
well-remembered burning of The Martha
Washington occurred, causing ter
rible loss of life. He hurried TO Gin
cinnati and talked with the officials of
the companies which had insured the
cargo. Incited by his representations,
a thorough examination of the sunken
boat was made by divers. 1t was
found that boxes described in the man
ifest as filed with silk held only saw
dust, that wine bottles contained COL
ored water, and that in like ways
sham cargo had been prepared. The
owners were tried, and although they
escaped conviction. the murderous
practice was stopped.

A DIRTDAUBEE and doodlebug have
had deadly encounter near New Or
leans. 1t should be understood, Ut the
outset of the marathon, that dirtdaubers
are wasps that build mud nests and that
doodlebugs are sort that burrow in
the ground. There was buzzing and
the chronicles saw a wasp had gone
into the bugs hole and been caught
by his head in the bugs grip. Upon
getting loose the wasp rubbed his
head and danced with pain. Then,
after o moment Of apparent close con-
sideration, he cautiously approached
the hole and began to scratch dust into
it. Occasionally he peeped in to see
the effect OF his strategy. Thus the
hole was gradually filled, and the bug
compelled to keep on top of the dust or
smother, was gradually brought near
the surface. At length the bugs head
appeared in sight, and the wasp, omck-
ly bouncing upon it. killed his antag-
onist.

ESPECIAL TO THE SILVER STATED


NEAR ALBANY, Sept. 16.
The fast mail train on the northern
route per New York Central and Michi-
gan Central Railroad, left New York
this morning for Chicago. The train
consists of four postal cars, Governor
Dix, Governor Morgan, Governor Til
den and Governor iced, having on
board thirty tons of mail matter, pal
ace car Duchess carrying the invited
guests. and engine No. SO (the engine
made famous by the new Hamburg
Creek disaster). The train left New
York with but few distinguished pas
sengers on board, it was too early in
the morning for distinguished people
to get up, SO we were forced to be con-
tent with people no more illustrious
than lot of newspaper men, railroad
and postoffice officials. Lew Hart, the
big farmer of Plano, Illinois, the guest
of Hon. George S. Bangs, was the most
conspicuous person on board. Before
starting every one was discussing the
probability of getting through to Albany
alive. The road from New York to AL
bany is considered the most dangerous
part of the entire route, but the railroad
company took every precaution and
train men were out all night scrutiniz-
ing the rails. 1t would not do to have
the first fast mail plunge into Hudson
river. We slid along at gait of so
miles to the hour by moonlight, until
we reached Sing Sing. At FIVE o'clock
when the sun rose over the hills the
first 81 miles were made in 40 minutes.
West Point, 81 miles, was passed in 60
minutes. We reached Poughkeepsie
and stopped three minutes and changed
engines, and stopped five minutes at
Hudson. Our average speed SO far was
As miles an hour. We did not miss a
mail and arrived five minutes ahead of
time at Albany at 1870 this morning,
we stopped ten minutes, and then were
off again. At Albany Vice President
Wilson got aboard, which place we left
at 1850, being five minutes late, cheer
ing crowds met US at every station.
We ran to Utica in two hours and ten
minutes, arriving at ten o'clock. Vice
President Wilson here left the train,
and came near being killed by being
knocked off the cars when getting off,
but he was not much hurt.
UTICA, N. Y, Sept. 16.
The Army of the Cumberland is in
session at Syracuse; arrived here at
lilo A. NJ, being five minutes ahead
of time the mails are working beauti-
fully; we are among the Bourbons now;
the Democratic State Convention meets
here to-day; "Shoo Flyr' At Roches-
ter we changed postal clerks, and our
engine at Syracuse. and left at IL 90.
The Democratic State Convention is in
session there to-day. We were delayed
eleven minutes at Clyde by hot box,
but running mile minute all the
way to Rochester the loss was made
up, and the 81 miles between Syracuse
and Rochester were run in one hour
and fifty minutes.

depends largely on the keep and care

cow maybe an ordinarily good or extra

that made her the ordinary cow might

SAVING THE COFFEE GRoUNDs-As
commonly made, the infusion Of coffee
which we drink contains not more than
twenty per cent. of the substance which
compose the berry. OF the remaining
eighty parts which we throw away as
grounds" about thirty-four are woody
matter without nutritiye value. The
rest. or forty-six parts out of the hun
dred, contain in large proportions nitro.
genons matters, fats and mineral salts,
demon strably useful for thenourishment
of nerves, muscles. and bones. In 9TH
er words, by our mode of making
coffee, we lose more than half its.ayail-
! able and valuable constituents. Con-
siderin5 tons OF coffee imported
every year, this Wholesale wastefulness
becomes a matter of considerable mag
nltude, this, OF course, only on condition
that the rejected matter CAL be used with
| pleasure and profit. That it can be so
used is shown by the practice of the
Turks, who make coffee rs we DO choco-
late. The coffee, finely powdered, is
drunk with the infu sion. In this way
all the stimulating qualities Of the infn-
sion are secured, with the full aroma and
all the nutritious elements Of the berry.
1t Is, perhaps, needless to all that, for
use III this way, the coffee must be redu-
ced TO an impalpable powder. To those
unaccustomcdt use Oriental coffee, the
limpid infusion may seem to be prefer
red, as stimulating drink, IL is yp :
doubleday preferable, but the good quail
tiles Of coffee are not exhausted with the
Infusion aud, as matter Of economy,
it may be worth while to sacrifice linn
pidity for nutrition. Besides, as one
becomes accustomed to thick chocolate,
and learns to like it more than the clear
infusion ofthe cocoa bean, so, it is claim
ed. the taste for cqfe a = Orientole may
be acquired with corresponding i'm.
proyeInent in the beverage.
