For the Sentinel.
Individual Eccentricity.

The little personal peculiarities which
some persons acquire as habit form a
most singular subject of observation. It
is noticeable that we most frequently find
them connected with persons Of studi-
Gus dispositions, and it is probable that
they are contracted whilst the victim is
too much absorbed to notice their tolls,
and he becomes possessed of miserable,
ugly and sometimes replusive habit. with
cut even being aware of its presence. We
will enumerate some of these pecullari-
ties, and reflect from our general obser-
walton one or two which we have been
struck with in persons for whom we en-
tertained high regard, and hence where
we mostly deplored their presence: A
most intelligent gentleman had the habit
of walking up and down the room when
engaged in conversation; another, a cler-
gyman, had the habit of rubbing his
right hand up and down the bible as it
lay open with bis manuscript on it, whilst
preaching; another, a bright young man,
had the habit OF pulling the long hairs
from the inside of his nose and, at the
same time, giving little grunt-this
habit was contracted whilst he was pre-
pairing for examination; another had the
ugly habit of hugging his knee. in com
pany and elsewhere; some have the un-
pleasant habit of biting the nails; some
of pulling hairs from the beard; and
some others push the beard or moustache
in their mouth, and so much engrossed
do they seem to be in the employment
that it gives them an absolutely idiotic
appearance.
It seems a pity That the friends of per-
SONS with their pecuiarities do not feel
at liberty to call their attention to them,
so as to enable them to subdue the habit
which is not rarely pleasant to themselves
and decidedly unpleasant and sometimes
rcpulsive to others. X

LIFE. What varying thing is the
stream of life! How it sparkles and
glittersi How it bounds along its peb-
bly, bed, sometimes in shade, sometimes
sporting round all things, as if essence
were merriment and brightness some
times flowing solemnly on, as if it were
derived from Lethe ITSELF Now it runs
like liquid diamond along the meadow !;
now it plunges in fume and fury over the
rock now it is clear and limpid, as
youth and innocence can make it; now
it is heavy and turbid, with the varying
streams of thought aud memory that are
flowing into it, each bringing its store
of dullness aud pollution as it tends
towards the end Its voice, too, varies
as it goes; now it sings lightly, as it
dances on; now it roars amidst the obsta-
cles that oppose its way: aud now it has
no tone but the dull, low murmur of ex-
hausted energy. Such is the stream of
life; yet perhaps few Of US would wish
to change our portion Oft for the calm
regularity Of a canal--even if one could
be constructed without locks and food
gates upon it to hold in the pent-up
waters of the heart till they are ready to
burst through the banks.

BEECHER's TESTIMONY.

The testimony of Mr.. Beecher on Friday
touched upon the most important points involved
in the trial. The following sketch of the pro-
ceedings that day which we find in the Times,
will be interesting to our readers.
The examination began with an account of the
interview between the defendant and Bessie Turn
er. 1t was expected by the ordinary audience that
there would be prurient recital of Bessie Turner's
charges against Tilton. They were disappointed
Mr.. Beecher, who came on the staHd with bunch
of viole.s in his hand evidently studied his words
to avoid far possible any too broad references
and gave his testimony in a most careful and ju-
dicious manner. When asked by Mr.. Evarts in
what manner he received moral instruction in his
fathers home, he fired up and said he never was
instructed; that the atmosphere of his fathers
household was as pure as crystal and he needed no
instruction. This declaration, delivered with We
hcmencc and fire, excited some applause. The
next point made was when he was asked, referring
to the testimony OF the woman Kate Carey, whether
Mrs. Tilton had ever called him dear father"

ton, answered the question with an emphatic

Mrs. Iilton's religious character as revealed TO
him by his visits at her house, he gave categori-

lments OF affection and respect for Mrs. Tilton.

threw back his head. and his cheeks were flushed
with feeling and pride and he looked every inch

Then he was examined regarding the delivery by

retirement, and related how he told Bowen Tilton
was crazy, and they exchanged condolences

New HAVEN, April 2.-Music Hall was crowd

He said that democratic papers were finding
fault because the republicans in the Northern
States persisted in discussing the issues which
grew out of the war and still remained unsettled.
when, at the same time it was updeniable that the
democratic party in the Southern States, in every
county aud township, were discussing these same
issues from precisely the opposite point of view.
For the republicans to abandon these issues which
involve the questions of citizenship, of free suf

it, amendments, would be to surrender and dis
band their organization before the legitimate ends
Of the grest struggle had been fully attained. II

ney General Williams contended that by
the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments

United States intend to secure to the
colored man, under the protection of the
general government. the right to make
contracts. to sue, to hold property and the
various other rights Of citizenship. On
the other side it was contended that the
fourteenth amendment was nothing more
than an empty formula and amounts to
nothing but empty and vain words. Even
before the adoption of the late amend
ments Congress had the power to protect
the right to vote tor Presidential electors.

TUESDAY MORNING. Ap.il 9. 1875.


rr.SpEAEER BLAINE'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Blaine's speech at New Haven the
other evening is the most statesmanlike
view of national politics yet presented in
any speech to the public. 1t states the
question as between the North and South
fairly, speaks kindly and charilably OF the
latter, and yet makes an argument oicon-
yincing power for the continuation oil the
republican control ofthe government. Mr..
Blaine has no confidence in the pretended
desire Of the democrats for peace in the
South. On the contrary he believes that
they desire turmoil and strife in that sec
ton. Their object is to make the south
crn States soldly democratic, so that only
a few nothern electoral votes will be re-
CURED by the democracy to elect the Ires-
ident and give them the control OF the
government. Mr. Blaine is not in favor
of taking the government from the hands
of the men who fought to save it and plac-
ing it in the hands Of those who fought to
destroy it. Such a result would create
dangerous revolution, unsettling all that
has been established by the war. He is
deeply impress ed with the Importance OF
preserving the unity Of 1.-The republican
party and keeping it strong and rcsolute
as during the war until all the issues aris-
ing from the war are safely and justly dis
posed Of.
These views of Mr.. Blaine outline the
campaign of 1876. The republican party
will adopt them as its platform. They
will stand the sharpest criticism. They
are so just, so wise, that they invite ali
republicans to their support, whatever
may have been their opinions heretofore.
They present mastery analysis of the
situation, and clearly point the way to
success in the Presidential struggle.
