was very independent. He said he
was i'll harmony with rammany, but
opposed to it's management; that the
committee might as we'll make out his
dismissal: he should not resign until
he saw fit. Howell says the dissatis-

itself against Tammauy Hall is grad

there assembled i'll one OF the upper

Beecher Business.


NEW York, June 22.--In the
Beechcr trial this morning, Nelson
stated some Of the jury were in his
room, and from conversation with
them regarding the occurrences Of
last evening, he believed they were
laboring under misrepresentation.
Fullerton aud Evarts made remarks
OH the same subject, and said all the
issues Beechers had to meet were
those presented by witnesses in the
stand, and not those advanced against
him in newspapers, containing outside
rumors. Nelson said he had observed
in some papers paragraphs to the
effect that his charge had been pre-
pared two months ago, and that he
had some time since received requests
to charge from some Of the counsel.
In Justice to himself and counsel he
felt compelled to state that his charge
wassnot yet finished, but was now. in
process of preparation, and that he
had not yet ready anything to charge.
He was Of opinion that if he was al
lowed to deliver his charge first, he
could do it in. such. a manner as that
the counsel would have but few re-
quests to make; These they could ad-
vance after the charge had been given.
Fullerton and Evarts acquiesed in this
matter.
Beach then arose and continued
summing up to the jury, and read q
letter from Beecher to Mrs. Flton, in
which he speaks Of "bird singing
in. his heart" and in which. is mem
toned true inwardness." The nest
hiding letter was also read.
Beach referred to Richards testi.
mony which had not been pressed to
extremes, as counsel for plaintiff got
enough from him to serve their pur.
pose. Beach expanded on the proba-
bilities of what Richards is saidl to
have witnessed in Tilton's house.
This was not an attitude Of . preach.
er they were in when the door was
opened. 1t was shown by her not
advancing to meet her brother that
she considered herself improperly oc.
cupied.
He read from the interview with
Tilton and others, between various
parties to the suit. Counsel read the
letter from Mrs. Moore to Beccher,
in which she says when she thinks Of
the misery he had caused to her fami.
ly and heard him cracking his jokes
: she thought With the psalmist "There
is no God" Beecher made no in

her daughters misery to him, and
why did not Beecher 60 to her if in

Five Hundred Shots a Minute.

A machine gun was exhibited and tested
Yesterday in the Twenty-secOnd Regiment
Armory. Mr.. Willard B. Farwell, the m
ventor. operated and explained his inyen-
ton. Among those who saw the eXperl
ment were Col. John E. GOwan and Col.
Knox of the Ordinance Bureau, Col, For
ter and many other officers of the Nation
al Guard.
Mr.. Farwell's invention consists OF ten
steel barrels of twenty-five calibre arrang-
ed exactly parallel to each other in a
metallic frame. From centre ito. centre OF
the outer barrels is three feet. Each bar
rel is charged separately from a magazine
containing fifty rounds of ammunition.
The charging, firing and extraction of eX-
nloded shells are all accomplished blythe
tnrnino of one crank, at each revolution
of which the whole ten barrels are dis
charged, emptied, and reloaded. With
RELAYS of magazines five hundred shots can
he fired n minute. A system OF cog
wheels connects the firing crank with a
traverse. and each turn of the crank trav-
erses the exact width Of the target. Thus
the gun is automatic in this particular,
designed to pick off line of battle III
regular detail.
Its points of difference from the Cat
ling gun are in the Simultaneous loading
and firing of ten barrels, the latter load
inc each barrel through the same maya
zine aperture and firing but one shot at a
time. -
Mr.: Farwell had only one magazine at
the trial Yesterday, SO the actual rapidity
of fire attainable was not demonstrated.
The fifty shots contained by that sOne
magazine, however, were several times
fired in six seconds. The appearance of
the target after the firing, all the shots hay
mo struck at about the height of mans
breast. showed how irresistablv destructive
such a weapon would be in street fight
or in resisting charging enemy.-N. Y,

How TO Secure a Peach Crop.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Western Ritrat
writes from ScheolcrOft, Mich, as follows
In your number Of Feb. ~, a. III. S."
of Macon, Mo. asks why his peach trees
do not bear.s He says in the first place
that the trees are planted on southern
slope. This is, probably, the sole cause OF
their not bearing. The break-ups in the
Utter part of the winter are generally
warm enough on ground laying toward
the south to start the sap in peach trees
consequently they are very tender and any
cold snaps that may occur after will kill
the buds. If his trees were on northern
slope, so that the ground would not thaW
out during these warm spells Tor break
ups) his trees would bear probably almost
every year. have noticed cases around
0conee, H., and other places, where or
chards were planted on the sOuth side OF q
hin. They got but little fruit, while or
chards on the north side Of the same hill
bore abundantly. tried the experiment
on level ground two different occasions, in
different years. in Southern Illinois, of
mulching thoroughly with straw or any
thing that | could get, after the ground
had frozen; thereby | kept the frost on
the ground rs late as possible and thus
kept the sap from running during the
thaws in winter.T The result was | had
nv trees full of peaches and my neighbors

will probably succeed. n.

Kissing the Dead.

The danger from contagion and disease
of the practice Of kissing the dead is shown
by an occurrence at Mt. Vernon, New
York, where the inhabitants are congrat-
uIating themselves on having escaped the
horrors of an epidemic. 1t appears that a
young lady, named Carroll, returned 70
her fathers house in that village, short
time since, and died in a short time after
ward. During the wake which followed
a large number of persons kissed the
corpse. 1t has now transpired that the
giri died of smallpox in its worst and
most malignant form. None of Mr.. Car

Giant Trees i'm California.

II has been supposed that the Sierra Sc
quotas, or big trees of California, We're
confined to few small and isolated groves
like those known to tourists by the name
of Calaveras. Tuolumne, Merced, and
Mariposa. scattered at desirable intervals
along the western slope of the mountains
for a distance of sixty miles. 1t was
known that a collection of big trees larger
than anV of those in the maripOSa and
Calaveras regions exists in Fresno COun-
tv, where Thomas's Mill has for several
Years been saving this red wood of the
Sierra to supply the market of Vis7lia,
but it was discovered last summer that
this body of big-tree timber is not proper
" a grove, but forest extending for not
less than seventy miles in northwest and
southeastward direction, with L width in
some places of ten miles, and interrupted
only by the deep canyons which cut across
the general course of the forest, and re-
duce the level TO an elevation below that
at which the tree is found in a wild con-
lition, although when cultivated it thrives
in all our valleys.
Different persons have traced the forest
from the basin of the Tue River, in lati-
tudp Sc 20', across those of the Kaweah
and Kings to that of the San Joaquin. The
elevation has not been carefully measured,
but is supposed to vary from 1000 to G,0OO
feet. At one point, and one only, this
forest is accessible by wagon road, and
this at Thomas's Mill, forty-eight miles
from Visalia. Unlike the groves further
north, this forest consists mainly and in
some places almost exclusively of tine big
trees. and there are also a multitude OF
small ones in all the ages of growth, some
just sprouting. and Others, saplngs, only
two or three feet through. The largest
Standing tree as yet measured is forty feet
in diameter; a charred stump-the tree
itself having appeared-measures forty
one feet across. a tree twenty-four feet
in diameter four feet above the ground, is
precisely the same thickness sixty feet
higher. A fallen trunk is hollow through
out. and the holei- large enough to drive
Ii horse and a buggy seventy-two feet in 1t
az in tunnel.
The forest is so extensive, the timber is
so abundant and excellent in quality, and
the demand for it is so great in the bare
valley at the foot of the mountain, that II
cannot be withheld from the ak and the
sawmill. The wood is similar in general
character to the Coast sequoia, or COM
mon redwood, straight in grain, splitting
freely. even enough in grain for fur niture,
and far superior to oak in its keeping
qualities in positions exposed to alterations
of moisture. The Sierra sequoia does not
throw up sprouts from the stump as does
the redwood, and can therefore be felteu
out more readily.-ALta California.

How common is the announcement. Thou

MEDICAL sADvERTISING.-1he medical
profession are outspoken in their denun-
ciation Of the system of medical adyerus-

advertised is fraud. How tho roughly

ment. The men who are so loud in their
criticisms, are those,whO advertise. them
selves as medical sauGnS by OstenTatiOus
display; splendid residences with massive
door-plates; fast horses and costly car
riages. Dr.. j. WALKER, OF California, an
old practitioner, respected alike for his
skill and conscientious independence, dares
to differ; and having discovered in his

medicine, free from all spirituous poisons
"a wonderful specific for numerous dis

Too Much Kissing.

The amount of miscellaneous kissing
which has been developed thus far in the
Tiiton-Beecher case is perfectly astound-
ing. Mrs. Tilton has been in The habit OF
kissing Mr.. Beecher, and Mr.. Beecher has
returned the compliment. Even Mrs.
Moulton has confessed TO the soft impeach-
ment of kissing Beecher, probably to
give the old man a chance" Miss An
thony has been charged with kissing Til
ton. and it is certain that Tilton has kissed
Beecher, and Beecher has kissed Moulton.
The Oyington's are In the habit of kissing
Mrs. TiltOn In court, and Mrs. Tilten
kisses Mrs. Field. In short, kissing seems
TO be the principal occupation of a good
many of the Plymouth Church people.
We are not surprised, therefore, that
Wednesdays report of the trial closes as
follows, Mrs. Sarah U. Putnam being on
the stand:
"Mrs. Tilton always appeared to nae to
have blind idolatIy for her husband.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tilton always gave cordial
greetings to their friends. and Mrs. Tilton
always kissed the gentlemen friends of the
family, while Mr.. Tilton kissed the ladies.
At this point Mr.. Jafftrey, one of the ju
rors, was taken with sudden faintness,
and the Court adjourned
To man g UP tree" with no oppOr-
tunities, no particular taste for miscellane-
GUS kissing, it will be apparent that kiss
ing goes by favor in Plymouth Church,
and that Mr.. Beecher is the principal
kissee Of that congregation of ''white
souls" II the mere narration of this mis-
cellaneOus kissing so affects jurors that
they faint away. what wonder is it that
the actual operation itself has set every
body by the ears, and that no one knows
who's who? In the event that Mr.. Beech
er secures a verdict of acquittal, he ought
to protect himself in the future from this
kissing persecution. He might, like Pa
pageno in g The. Magic Flute" close his
mouth with a paddock. lock it up, and
throw away the key. He must do some
thing to stop this frantic female Brooklyn
OSCILLATION or it will ruin him. He cannot
pursue his labors continually, look after
his church duties and save souls, il he is
obliged to stop every few minutes TO kiss
some female of his flock, or let some
-" white SOUP kiss him; and again, he ism t
hired for the kissing business. II ne IS,
then he is too expensive. There are plen-
~ of able-bodied men with abundance of
leisure, who would be glad to take his
place for their board, and even on that
small paw would not grow hypochondriac-
al. But seriously, Plymouth Church
ought to be ashamed Of itself. Its miscel-
laneous kissing has brought its pastor into
trouble and itself into ridicule, and If they
get out with whole skins, they ought III
future to be more circumspect and leave
kissing to the children OF the world. MIR.
