Mrs. Woodhull's PupiL-In . copy of | Woodruff & Clsfin's Weekly. dated May
 l7th. 1873, in the report of an interview with Mrs. Woodruff by reporter of me tropolitan journal. the following converss- ton will be found:
 \ Reporter-You speak like some wierd ] prophecies, madame.
 Mrs. WOodhul--I am . prophecies; l nm an evangel am . saviour, if you would | nut See it; but too come not to brlrg prace' but sword:
 ,Reporter-Then Mir. Hilton became. as n m werr' xenr ;Srp your pupil and you instructed h"
 Mr-. W"odhull-Yes, I suppose that is a I correct statement.
 And the pupil of this "Evangel," this Saviour" with her sword, is the pripcipa! ID the prosecution of Mir. Brecher! In the Same issue of her paper Mrs. Woodruff says:
 Il believe 1t is my duty and my mission 70 carry lHe torch t~ light up and destroy
 tue hesp of r"ilennrss which, in the nanas ''f religion. material sanctity and social pu- rity. now passes as the social system"
 |: The above, it appears, is the class of iu-
 4truction imparted to this principal in the
 prosecution in the great Brooklyn trial. :who, it se+ms quite evident, WAS brillian, -t:holar in Mrs. Woodhull's school of social corruption. When these facts are brough,
 tO bear upon the remarkable CD evidence
 ''eing given by Theodore Hilton in this trial.
 Ut looms up in an entirely different aspect. Carbohydrates to the Boston Journal:
 The cross-examinAtion of Hilton for three E.lays has clearly brought to light the theory
 bf the defense, which is a conspiracy. th,
 basis of which was to obtain money fron,
 she Plymouth people. If public rumor
 can he credited, witness will he produced
 who overheard a conversation between
 .pr'minent parties, in which the sum to b. Ei-msnded was over $lOO.OOO."

 EIicatlon has been remar rkable, the weekly,

 passes it. In less than .hree years time the
 Weekly WStness has attained circulation
 largely exceeding sisty thousand subscrib-
 CTS! This unprecedented success in both the daily and weekly is probably owing to two facts. one ot which is that as daily . religious publication, the Witness. being 3 'he only one in the United States, has the .. whole country for field, with no compe- litiOn, and being very ably conducted and 3 altogether an excellent journal for the re- ligious world, has crept rapidly over lts
