a Point Made by MOuIIOn.

From the Cleveland tO) Herald.
Those Of our readers who have followed
the testimony Of Moulton in the Tilton
Beecher case, have been struck, no doubt
with one feature in it. Moulton frankly
and fully admits that he, all along, when
acting as the friend of Beecher, deliber
ately and designedly not only prevaricat'
ed but, when necessary, told lie tC
various persons, including Rev. Mr.. Hslli
day, as to the innocence of Mr.. Beecher
These frank admissions of Mr.. Moultou
will entirely do away with the testimony
of Halliday and others by whom the de-
fence expected to invaldate the testi
mony of MOulton, he admitting in ad.
vance, and under oath, all that could be
proved by such witnesses. No one
who has ever been familiar with the trial
of law cases wilt fail to appreciate the
difference between witness telling such
things Of himself and the calling of them
out by other witnesses. Had Moulton
failed to tell that he had deceived people
who made enquiries Of him, or had he de-
MED that he had done so, and then had
the defense proved by other witnesses
that he (Moulton) had been guilty Of de.
ception, the effect against Moulton would
have been very great. As it is now,
every reader will ask the question !:
"Would | not have done Just so had
been in Moulton's placel" We do not
propose to discuss the abstract PROPOSE.
ton, whether falsehood, under any cir
cumstances, is UNSUITABLE, but leave the
matter to each one to solve for himself
whether, as the friend Of both parties,
with such immense domestic interests in
volved, and even the cause of religion
more or less involved, he would not have
attempted to keep the truth from being
known.

"The Heart of the andes.

From the Springfield Mass Union.l
One Of the spiciest bits of gossip which
has recently gotten out of the bag relates
to the Artist Church's great picture,
"The Heart Of the Andes" fine en-
craving of it from the original by VIM.
Forrest, and on exhibition by Gill & Hays,
brings the story to mind Church, like
other artists, for obvious reasons, doesn't
want copies of his best works to go out
to the world, and Forrest engraving was
the only copy of the picture authorized
by its author. Church's studio at New
York is open to the public only at certain
hours, and then to none but those who
have tickets. A person is in constant at
the valuable collection, and he is also
supposed to prevent copies from being
made. A brother artist was frequent
visitor, and at last came to be so familiar
that he was one day left alone near "The
Heart of the Andes Being probably a
little flushed with wine or something
more potent, his evil genius prompted
him to sketch the great picture. He made
two copies, and got out unobserved.
The copies he colored, and by some means
one came to this city and one went to
Hartford Church discovered the rape,
got on trail of one Of the copies and fol-
lowed it to shop in the city, where it
was left to be framed. He was inc0g.
and asked to see "that picture Of
'Ihe Heart of the Andes. OF course,
it was produced. A sudden sweep of the
artists hand and the stolen copy was
damaged beyond repair. But there was
still the other copy, and it was thorn in
the flesh to Church that he could not dis
cover its whereabouts. Some time after
ward a gentleman of this city, who was
at his studio remarked to Church that he
had seen "The Heart Of the Andes" else
whore. OF course Church denied the
possibility of such thing. "But own
it myself" replied the gentleman, who
had somehow gotten the Hartford copy.
Then Church knew where the only exist
ing colored copy Of his great picture could
be found, but it was in vain that he tried
to purchase it. Its owner would take no
price, and Church is still unhappy. So
runs the story, and it is good enough to
be believed.

The stage Husband.
tBy Nym Crynkle.l


An actress, up 20 a certain point in her
career, is influenced by the love Of
dresses. After that she takes to dia.
monds and husbands. IL is a purely
decorative instinct. Ordinarily the
stage husband is part OF her personal out
fit. Celestine used TO boast openly to
Coralie that she had two seal skin jackets
and two husbands. and il was a proper
subject Of pride, for there was only one
other beauty in Mr.. Caruther's troupe
who ever attained to this duality Of pos
session. Clytie, innocent soul, believed
that somehow husbands and tuberoses
and bracelets were the perquisites Of
leading ladies. and were handed over the
foot lights by polite ushers. She really
had notion, that dear child, that the
extra big boquets were made to hide a
French Count or an English Captain Of
the Guards.

Mysterious Case OF Attempted Assas
sinatiOn.
From the Faribault Democrat

just after dark Monday evening last,
as Charley Weir, lad about 10 years OF
age, son of the late ii. L. Weir, who re-
sides with his mother on Willow street at
the corner of Third, opened the stable
door to go in and take care of their horse,
a shot was fired from within, as he sup
poses, the ball passing through his cap
and grazing his scalp. He turned and
ran into the house and told his mother Of
what had happened and then ran up
street and informed Sheriff Grant. The
sheriff went down and looked the ground
over, but discovered no trace Of any one,
and apparently nothing had been disturb.
cd about The barn.
Neither the young man nor his mother
has the least suspicion OF who could have
fired the shot or of any cause for it, and
it is generally supposed that some person
had taken possession Of the barn for a
nights lodging, who had excellent rea-
sons for not wishing to be discovered, and
fired at Weir, perhaps coming closer to
his mark than he intended. 1t was ap.
parently a narrow escape, as the bullet

out entering the young mans head.

the spread Of dptheria entirely to the
practice of child kissing. There are other
modes of propagation, though it is hard
to conceive of any more directly suited to
the spread of the infection or more gen.
eral in its operation. 1t stands to dip
liberia in about the same relation that
promiscuous hand.shaking formerly did to
the itch. 1t We're better to avoid the
practice. The children will not suffer il
they go unkissed; and their friends
ought for their sake to lorego the luxury
for season. A single kiss has been
known to infect family; and the most
careful may be in condition TO commune
cate the disease without knowing it. Be-
ware then of playing Judas, and let the
babies alone.

To Keep Eggs Over Winter.

The Farmers Advocate, London, Ont,
recently offered a prize for the best meth
cd of keeping eggs over winter. The fol-
lowing recipe took the prize: Whatever
excludes the air prevents the decay OF
eggs. What | have found to be the most
successful method of doing so is to place
a small quantity Of salt butter in the
palm of the left hand and turn the eggs
round in it so that every pore of the shell
is closed then dry a sufficient quantity
Of bran in an oven, (be sure you have the
bran we'll dried or it will rust), then pack
the eggs with the small ends down, a
layer of bran and another Of eggs until
your box is full then put away in a
cool and dry place. IL done when laid
they will retain the sweet milk and curd
of new laid egg for eight or ten months.
Any oil will do, but salt butter never be-
comes rancid, and very small quantity
of butter will do for a large number OF
eggs. To insure freshness | rub them
when gathered from the nest, then pack
when there is a sufficient quantity.

Cavi,ie. in the Lunes.

A prculiar method of treating pulmo-
nary cavities in phthisis, pursued by Prof.
Mosler Of Wiesba1en, is described as con-
sisting in the injection Of certain drugs
through the wall of the chest, and leaving
the canula in, so as to repeat the operation
at discretion. He has even made an Incl.
sion into the wall OF the cavity, inserted
a silver tube Of elastic eatheter, and sue.
ceeded in drawing away the secretion and
in disinlecting the pyogenic walls by
means Of weak cerbolic acid lotions. Ii
is stated that no difficulty was experienced
in the operation, and the condition Of the
patient was improved, the cough becom.
ing less troublesome and the febrile symp.
toms apparently moderated. One point
at least is regarded as settlCd-and il is
certainly one Of great importance-so far
as could be by few experiments Of this
character, namely, that the local treat
ment Of pulm onary cavities is undoubted.
ly practicable, and that the lung il really

THE OLD BARNS TENANTRY.

He has tail like a scimetar's edge.
A marshals plume on his afghan neck,
An admraPs stride ON his quarter deck.
lie rules the roost and he walks the bay
With dreadful cold and Turkish way.
Two broadside fires with his rapid wings
This sultan, proud OF line OF kings
One gutteral laugh, four blasts of horn,
Five rusty syllables rouse the morn
The Saxon lambs in their wooden tabs
Are playing school with the a, b, abs.
A, e j, OF All the cattle spell
Till they make the blatant vowels tell.
And half laugh wlinny fills the stalls
When down in the rack the clover falls.
A dove is Waiting round his mate
Two chevrons black on his wings OF slate
And showing Off witha wooing note
The satin SHINE Of his golden throat
II is 0vid's cart Of Love" re-told
In binding fine OF blue ana gold
All, the buxom girls that helped the boys,

AS they stripped the husks with rustllng TOLD
From eght-rOwed corn as yellow as gold,
BY the candle light in pumpkin bowls,
And the CLEANS that showed fantastic holes
In the quaint old lanterns tatooed tin,
From the hermit gim set up within;
BY the rarer light in grlsh eyes
As dark as wells, or rs blue as skies.
| hear the laugh when the ear is red,
| see the blush with the forfeit paid,
The cedar cakes with the ancient twist,
The cider cup that the girls have kissed;
And see the fiddler through the dusk
As he twangs the ghost OF "Money Musk p
The boys and girls in double row
Wait face to face till the magic bow
Shall whip the tune from the violin,
And the merry pulse OF the feet begin.
