What ~ the Verdict
tFrpm the Cincinnati Gazette

No one could have expected any denials from
Mr.. Bcecher more emphatic, Or more sweeping,
than those ho has uttered during tho last three
or four days. He is at ssne on every e5HentiIs
allegation with Mouiton and Illton and there IL
no doubt that he will deny in the most positive
terms Mrs. Moultun's statement. Ono or the
other of these parties, either Mr.. Beccher or
these three persons, are guilty of lying
and perjury. No middle ground can DO taken.
Which ono is to be believed? Bsecher has
never been charged with untruthfulness on any
occasion before this. Tilton las been proved to
has also confessed that he Iiel, and his course
in the Proctor libel case showed that he lied.
Mrs. Moutou's testimony il likely to be success
fully impeached. if accounts Of Mr. Cleveland i
testimony are accurate. Az tho ease stands to-
day, we believe there arc few who would hesI-
tate about the verdict

THE BUTCHERS RENEW THEIR PROPOSITION TO
ooUNcIL-A NEW BUILDING UNDER THE rLAN
ASKED FOR
The butchers in the Second street market
house renewed their proposition to Council, last
week, for the lease Of the ground upon which
tho present market house stands with a view to
the erection of fine and commodous market
building upon it. Some four or five years ago \
similar psss~~it,c- was made, anil tho drawings
for the building prepared, but owing to the To-
gal inability Of Council TO make tho Lease tho
proposition could not be entertained
1t seems that the lot upon which tho Second
| street market sheds stand was donated to the
city to be by it devoted to market purposes for
ever, and under the torms of this donation it
was construed we understand, that tho lease OF
tho ground would be a vacation OF the ctys
right in tho same and clnso it to revert to the
party or parties designated in the conveyance.
Then the further proposition was made that
the city erect tile building, the butchers to guar
antee a fair profit in tho investment Bat at
that time the city was short of funds, and the
matter was laid aside for this reason.
The petition which was sent into Council, last
evening, is, as We understand it, for the lease
o the ground. and the presumption is that the
same inability will present itself This is un-
fortunate The butchers are willing and any,
IONS to ere ct fine market building on that site,
aud in view of the necessity which
the "mores the pity" Financially, the
city is no more able now TO erect the building
than when the proposition was first made, the
appropriations for the current year having been
cut down to tho minimum requirements, and
there il al impression that they will not be more
than sufficient for the expenditures OF tho year.
Still. the subject might DO continued in Coun-
Gil during the remainder Of the year, and some
provision then be made for the erection of
the building.
The market house which the butchers pro-
pose to erect il so foet high to the caves with
oval roof and q trapsom tho whole length of the
building. Each end il Of iron, with extra large
open doors. The walls are of granite four feet
from the ground, and the remainder of pressed
brick. Five entrances are provided for each side,
and 81 stalls for the convenience of tho butch
ers. The whole il of ornate finish, and would
be an ornament to the city. No estimate OF

Christian X. Ross, father of the missing boy,
arrived in New York, Friday, to consult with
Superintendent Waling in regard to supposed
clue to his son, and returned to Philadelphia on
Saturday morning almost broken-hearted at tho
announcement that Mr., Walling had fonnd the
information on which tho journey was made,
worthless months ago. Mr.. Ross is gradually
weakening under the strain to which his mind
has been subjected since his attack of tempora-
ry alteration, and the pursuit Of his son has be-
come with him mania. He appears mn
able to rest in peace, aad snatches at the slight
est information which he imagines will afford a
clue to his boy. In his present condition he il
unable to act with judgment, and unless hit
friends coilstrain him he will have to DO placed
under surveillance again. Superintendent Wal
ling is deeply affected by Mr.. Ross's eagerness,
and is working constantly on the case, but even
his firm faith that Charlie is living appears te
waver. The police are now hunting after ma,

pied by George Witworth, aud blacksmith

Bros. lose everything but fourteen finished car
riages which were in tho lover story
aud were got ont. All tho IN.
finished carriages in the second story, valua
bic trimmings, paints, oils, varnishes, Nc, were

The Liberal Republicans ought to see far

Theirs is a hybrid policy, and must 60 ovor to

politics they are mules" Most OF them are
good men--tirst-rate men. They deserve to bs

USEFUL INFoRMAT1oN.-A red hot
iron passed over old putty will soften III
SO that it is easily removed.
1t may not be generally known that
boiling fruit long time without sugar
and without cover is very economical,
because the bulk of the scum rises from
the fruit and not from the sugar; boiling
without cover allows the water to evap-
crate, and 80 the fruit Isl s'firmer and bet
ter favored. l-.. a.,: r..i;. 49,.
/ A breeder of,poultry writes Every
spring procure a quantity of cedar
boughs, and scatter them plentifully in
and around the hen-house. This is all
that is necessary, as the odor of the cedar
keeps away lice. This remedy is cheap,
simple, and effective, and is well worth
trying by all who have hens to care for.
Group can be cured in one minute,
and the remedy is simply alum and sugar.
The way to accomplish the deed is to
take knife or crater and shave it off in
small particles, about teaspoonful of
alum, then mix it with about Twice its
quantity of sugar to make it palatable,
and administer it as quickly as possible.
Almost instantaneous relief will follow.
The white of an egg is, said to be q
specific for fish bones sticking in the
throat. 1t is to be swallowed raw, and
will carry down a bone easily and GER
tainly. There is another fact touching
eggs, which it will be we'll to remember.
When, ais sometimes by accident, corro-
sive sublimate is swallowed, the white of
one or two eggs taken will neutralize the
poison, and change the effect to that OF a
dose of calomel. ;..1' =.''e; fs

EVIL SpEAKING.-Speaking evil of
others is one of the most unamiable hab-
its that can. be acquired, and often leads
to infinite mischief. It's not always easy
to avoid it, for there are great man,f
people in the world who are not what
they ought to be, who do many thing,
that they ought not to do. It is hard for
a blunt, generous mind to refrain from
expressing itself about mean people and
mean acts There is something in mean.
ness and dishonesty that rouses the luxu.
ry of denouncing them in bold and un.
sparing terms. But the practice is a
troublesome and dangerous one. There
are occasions when it is our. duty to speak
out in exposure of wrong. But in gen.
eral it is the best to abstain from evil
speaking, even of evil persons. We are
not made judges of others actions.
No one has q right to assume the char.
acter of arbiter and censor. Even tho
best of us have our faults, and, if every
one should presume to .denounce tho
vices and misconduct Of others, the
world would be given up to defamation.
We may see and hear much that we do
not and can not like; we may become
cognizant of the many evil deeds done
by evil persons; but it is part of wis.,
dom and discretion to pass them by
without notice, except when TO speak
of them cautiously may be necessary as
d warming to friends. We all have
enough Of enemies in this world, without
provoking others by ill-tempered com"
ments. The enmity of evil men is the
thing to be avoided, for while it can dc
us no good, it may do us much: harm.
Besides, we make mistakes In the haste o.
honest indignation, and speak; evil OF
good men for acts we do not understand.
Such niistakei is worse than the other, for
while it IS .imprudent to promiscuously
denounce evil men, it is cruel wrong to
defanie good one. Fl
