Among the most marked sensations in
the course of the Beecher trial wa that
produced on Monday by the protest of
two of the jurors against Mr.. Beach's fire.
quept intimstions that the jury had been
approached by parties in the Beecher In
terest. The protests were made while
Mr.. Beach was speaking, and in reply he
stated distinctly-what he had only hint
ed at previously-that he was in poss es-
sion of evidence, which he would submit
whenever the Court should desire it. to
prove that attempts had been made to
bribe the jury. This statement at least,
was made in sober earnest, and with a
full knowledge of its serious character,
and it is certain that we have not heard
the last of it. Judge Nelson indica ted
the closing of the case as the time when
such evidence would be received, and the
offending parties punished. Bro. Shear
man volunteered a statement neither log
ical nor conclusive in its bearing on the
point at issue, when he said that the en-
tire expense of the defense was borne by
Mr.. Beecher and himself. This is inter-
esting if true. but it is perfectly cons ist-
ent with Mr.. Reach's allegation concern
ing the attempts to bribe the jury.

crowded the streets of the Athens of

Efulgent patriotism makes hot work and
draws heavily upon the endurance, but
the effect is sanitary and wholesome, and
the body polite and corporate is all the
better for it.

fish stories in our day, and treated them
with as much Difference and credence
as could be reasonably required, but
they rather pale and dwarf before some
of the hopper stories that come TO us-well
attested, of course-from Nebraska and
Missouri. A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, tells of a swarm of locusts from
80 TO 75 miles wide, half a mile deep,
passing through the air at a speed of
fifteen miles an hour for sixty hours
continuously, and driving peopleln doors
for fear of being smoth cred to death.

Sherman in his Memoirs bears testimo-
ny 10 Grants habits, which 1t will do
well enough to notice, as matter of jus

saws that ~Grant was DeYer drunk on the

There is further trouble in New Or
leans. The collection of taxes is where
the thing comes in now. The State, it is
asserted, had frmness enough to distrain
and enforce its collection, but the munich
pal taxes Of the city of New Orleans hang
by the eyelids, and are resisted by an or
ganization called the Property Holders
Union. The Picayune, commenting on
the subject, and comparing the financial
condition of the State and city, says
'The point of contrast consists in the
fact that whereas the Republican State
Government is rapidly returning to a
sound, healthy financial condition, the
Democratic city government is as rapid
ly sinking into condition of financial
Imbecility."
