The character of Beecher as preach.
'er and public IN an is recalled to notice
by this trial. In 1860 he preached q
serm eli declaring military emancipa-
ton to be impossible. But he chang
ed his faith. He wrote letter to the
Cleveland Convention, which he was
compelled to write twice as long let
ter to apologize for. He was friend
of Andrew johnson until the desire
for popularity induced him to change
sides. He was bitterly opposed to the
theater, and thought that to attend
one was next to damnatiOn until his
own "Norwood' was dramatized,
when, if we mistake not, he might
have been seen in a privote-box in a
theater on broadway one night. He
has courted applause from the pulpit,
and has often received it, for the man
ner in which he preached salvation to
diving sinners. Over and over again
he has shown himself to be the tickle
demagogue rather than the earnest,
| steadfast preacher of truth.

A REcENF writer notices the strik-
ing similarity of the monkeys fond
ness for cruelty to that of man, and
says that every one does not know
how much trouble an average monkey
will patihimself to in order that he
may enjoy the suflIerings of other
creatures. The monkeys of India
feign sleep for hours when they want
to catch and torture crow, and exhib-
it intense delight in plucking it alive.
The tiger in man is, perhaps, more
monkey than tiger. Our cruel man is
simply a monkey in human shape, and
is not noble beast at all.

| PRISONER COMING OUT OF THE
PENITENTiARY WORTH $4,000.

Among the eleven hundred prison.
ets in the Penitentiary there are good
many men and women whose histories
if written, would make interesting
reading. A good many of these men
Of stripes have records that are quite
romantic and interesting. Lewis
Brandt is one of fthese. When young
man be lett his home in Germany and
started for this country On leaving
his father gave him $4,000 10 start
life on. He came to this country, and
being Of a rather profigate disposition
he travelled about and soon went
through his fortuDe. After running
out of money he was compelled to
work, and got the position of night
clerk at the American. While there
he forged check for $42. was arrested,
tentiary for a short term. After get
ting out he .rambled about for while,
and Soon learned that his father had
died And loft him $50 5000: -fi1ts ne re-
ceived and was fast making way with
it, when he turned up again as a for
ger-this time in CleYeland-and was
sent to the Penitentiary tor term of
five years, which will terminate in
about two months. AT the time he
came last to the prison he owned
about $4,000 worth of stocks and
bonds in New York, of which he is
still the possessor, and from them he
draws an annual income. ~ # ri Y.
A good many years ago he endorsed
for friend in Germany, and lost S2O,-
900 by the operation, but he received
\ letter a few daysago from that friend
who is now a. wealthyomerchant in
Philadeiphia,i stating that If he would
send in his account the money would
be paid up, and darrangementsa are now
being made soithat when' he gets out
of prison he will get the twenty thou

A few weeks ago received a let
ter from his mother, in Germany, in
which was inclosed a list of his share
of the household effects, his mother
having broken up housekeeping and
divided the goods. 1t was a long list
of fine watches, iewelry and other
val uables ameuntiHg-to over a thou
sand dollars in value. These will be
sent to him in a few days. ofsf 73ss2
In addition to- his wealth. Brandt,
has an excellent education. He'speaks
German, French, Spanish andEnglish,
is somewhat proficient in Latin, and
has considerable acquaintance with
several other languages. His CONVEX
sation is learned and profound. He
at one time delivered speech before
an audience in Cleveland, in Latin,
which is said to have been an excellent
production. He is very generous in
his nature giving away money to al
most any. one who asks for il. The
warden has in his care several hun
dred dollars of Brsndt's money, and
out of this fund Brandt has made
handsome donations to several dis
charged prisoners. He frequently re-
ceives letters from friends in other
cities, asking for aid, and they never
fail to get If. He acknowledges his
folly in the way OF forgery, and in
tends when he gets out to reform. He
is 45 years of age, and has never been
married.-Ohio State Journal.
