aNEw YORK, June 16.-Beach contin-
ued his argument in the Beecher trial
by looking up Mrs. Tilton's relation to
her letter. He said the word 'Incul-
pating" used in the letter was not q
woman's word and did not belong to the
! phraseology of the household. Beecher
uses the same word in his letter of con-
triton, and certainly persons could be
distinguished by their style OF rhetoric
Beecher testiies that Mrs Tllton wrote
the letter but it was written at his dicta-
ton, as she says Beecher wrote the let.
ter and she copied it. When Beecher
returned to Moulton's that night he told
no one he had received retraction, and
if innocent how gladly and cheerfully he
would have gone into the presence of
Tilton. If Moulton was told by Beecher
that Tilton had read to him the confess
sion of Mrs. Tilton, charging aim
(Beecher) with having sexual intercourse
with her, and Mrs. Tilton wrote to her
husband stating she hoped her husband
would never be misled by good woman
as she had been by good man, this was
said of the man Beecher whom the Jury
were asked to believe to be all that was
noble and good.

Coon FOR EvIL.-The coal strikers of
Pennsylvania have done one good thing.
The heaps of refuse have been utilized,
amounting to millions of tons, which
else would not have been used. These
waste heaps cover thousand of acres to
a great hight They cumber the ground.
If the slate were separated, there would
be realized for consumption many mil
lions of tons. The scarcity of coal, by
reason of strikes, has resulted in i'm
proved plans for compacting this fine re-
fuse; so that hereafter it will have a
market, and be generally turned to profit.

A New ExpLosIvE.--A series of highly
interesting and successful experiments
with a new explosive have, it appears,
been recently made in Wales, nearly 500
civil engineers and others interested in
mining operations being present.
Among the special advantages claimed to
be possessed by this new powder, as
compared with other kinds now in use,
and which these experiments seem to
have demonstrated, are that its explosive
force is exceptionally great, that it throws
off only small quantity OF smoke or in
furious gas, and that, together with
these qualities it is at the same time
quite as safe for use as any ordinary
powder, not being liable to explode by
increased temperature, exposure to the
sun, percussion, or self ignition.

The Clay Eaters.

In the region where the clay eater
lives there is peculiar variety of clay,
of a brownish hue and quite soft and
sweet to the taste. 1t is found in the
low valleys, generally near the borders
of streams, and in strata varying from
q few inches to foot or two in thick
ness. Beds of this clay are not usually
very extensive, though there. are several
localities where they cover dozens, and
sometimes hundreds, of acres. This
clay is edible, though by no means
healthy, and parties using it are said to
acquire taste for it that is quite diff
cult to get rid of.
The writer of this remembers All oc-
casion when, for several days, he was in
forced companionship with a native of
Tennessee, who complained bitterly of
his inability to find some dirt to eat, and
seemed to suffer the deprivation as much
as tobacco chewer suffers from the alb
sence of his quid. The clay is not eaten
as regular article of food. and is by no
means substitute for bread and meat,
but it possesses some nutritious quail
ties, and will prolong life better than no
food at all. Persons fleeing from justice,
or fugitives i'll time of war, have been
known to live several days upon this
clay, and some of them acquired fond
ness for it which they had never known
before. When eaten by novice, it has
the effect of soup heavily charged with
castor oil but in little while the sys-
TEN becomes accustomed to it, and after
few weeks practice it fails to disturb
the regular functions of the stomach.
But the permanent effect on the eater is
far from agreeable. He becomes thin
and lank, like the sunset shadow of
somebody else, and is no moro sugges-
tive of fat than walking stick he is of
yellowish paleness, something between
a sun flower and a secondhand ghost ;
his neck elongates, his hair shows a
tendency to blondness, his teeth become
loose, and he loses most of the energy
he ever had. The clay eaters, or dirt
eaters, as they are quite as often called,
are among the lowest of the "low
whites" of the South they generally
live in miserable novels, and sometimes
in caves, and, as a rule, they take no
care for the future. If the wants of to-
day are supplied, they do not consider
it worth while to borrow trouble about
the morrow, and if their neighbors have
plenty of hogs and corn, it does not
generally cost the clay eaters as much
t. live as it would if they had no neigh
bors at all. Not that they would steal,
but the best of men may sometimes be
come confused about the rights of prop
erty, and seriously believe that they
have right to be supported by men
who have been more fortunate than
themselves,

A Courteous ReprOOf.

DIR. Samuel johnson was a man of
sincere piety and did not lack courage
to reprove wrong, when the occasion
seemed to justify it. He once visited a
ship of the line, and received marked at
tention from the admiral and other Off
GERS. When the boat took him on shore,
a young officer asked if had any further
commands. The doctor replied:
"Sir, have the goodness to thank the
admiral and all the officers for their
kindness to me, and tell Mr.. -, the
first lieutenant, that I beg he will leave
off the habit of swearing"
The young officer, wishing to blunt
the edge of the reproof, said in an apollo
getic way "There is no making sailors
do their duty without using strong Ian
guage, and his maiesty's service re-
quires it.
The doctor said with grave dignity :
"Then pray, sir, tell Mr.. - that 1
beg him not to use one oath more than
is absolutely required for the service of
his majesty"
The young officer was silent, feeling
that his apology had been very courteous
ly disposed of, as having very little
worth,

Shaker Funeral Service.

A somewhat remarkable double death
and burial recently occurred at the
North Union Shaker settlement in Ohio.
The deceased persons were sisters-Han-
nah Addison, aged eighty-four years,
and Rhoda Watson, aged seventy-four
years. Their deaths took place only
five hours apart. Their father, Asa
Stiles, was one of the first settlers in
Warrensville, Cuyahoga county, Ohio.
The latter part of the time they lived in
the same family, the same house, and in
the same room, and were taken sick to-
gether. These two sisters were also
buried at the same time-emphatically
sisters in life ard death. The collins
were laid in the lower hall of the house
in which they had lived and died. The
family" gathered in room devoted
to the religious exercises. The services
commenced with a song, then an address
by the elder who always leads the meet
ing. The address was upon the life and
virtues of the deceased, their good ex-
ample to the brethren and the v vlue of
such example. This was followed by
another song, when every one present
was invited to speak. A number spoke,
male and female, and their remarks were
mainly upon the characters of the de
ceased and in eulogy of their sincerity
and perseverance in the Shaker faith.
After the speaking another song was
sung, and the procession moved to the
grave, where the sisters were inferred,
the brethren singing during the burial.

Cannibalism and Slavery.

A correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian writes from Cape coast In
my last mentioned that there had been
some shocking human sacrifices at Porto
Novo, and that the government was 60
ing to demonstrate with the king. This
has been done, and the king has prom
ised that they shall not again be heard
of there. The chief magistrate of the
Gold coast, Mr.. Marshall, who is now
acting in that Office at Lagos, was in
trusted with the mission to the king,
and proceeded by steamer to Porto Novo,
ON the lagoon which lies along the shore
to the westward. He had an interview
with the king, and delivered a letter
from the governor on the subject, to-
gether with an emphatic message that
human sacrifices must cease. The
present king has only lately been put on
the throne, and it is thought that he is
man who will keep his promise and do
all that he can to maintain friendly rela-
tions with the British government. The
last mail from the leeward brought in
telligence that steamer trading on the
Niger named the Sultan of Sokatoo, al
though fully armed, had been seized at
a village some way up the river, the cap
tain and white men put in chains, and
the natives on board sold into slavery.
The account was that the captain went
ON shore suspecting no hostile inten-
tions and got caught.

Wonderful Invention,

A correspondent of the Louisville
COurieT-JOunaL writes A few years
ago, when seated in the st. Nicholas
Hotel, in New York, and conversing
with friend, L was startled by the ap-
pearance of a man whose looks and con
versation showed that he was absolutely
insane. This was an ex-heutenant of the
navy, the father of tho young lady who
was the heroine of the celebrated
diamond wedding. He spoke to my
companion, who had been an old ship
mate of his, and subsequently Commo-
dore Moore, of the Texas navy.
Moore" he said, "I've done it at
last. 1 always believed the clip on my
head knocked all the stupidity out of
it. My last discovery will make me
enormously rich, and I'll not forget you,
old boy" Then, lowering his voice to a
deep whisper, he added: "I can light
all the cities in the world instantaneous
ly." Here was pleasant freak of a
madman's brain. Now within few
days L have examined a small machine
which will absolutely carry out the mad
mans idea, at least SO far as this conti-
nent is concerned. The inventor is
quite willing to bet that he could, from
the city of Boston, light all the street
lamps in San Francisco as quick as
electricity could reach there. The cleo
trio spark is not used to light the gas.

A Wild Boy.

A wild boy was captured near Marcos,
Texas, recently, who is an extremely in
teresting piece of humanity. The Austin
Statesman reports that he was discover
ed wallowing in pond of shallow water,
and when approached he broke like a
quarter horse, running about mile be-
fore he could be overtaken by men on
ponies. Riding up near the boy was
lassoed, when fierce contest ensued,
the strange being striking, kicking and
lunging about in the most fearful man
ner, and apparently being frightened al
most to death. Finally he was over
powered, tied, and taken to the house of
the man who first discovered him. His
body is covered with hair about four
inches long, and from size and appear
ance he is supposed to be about twelve
years old. He is unable to talk, but
possesses reasoning power, and now fol
lows his captor about like dog.
