THE Beecher trial still hangs upon
the American people like an evil
malaria breathing its pestilence all
over the land 1t has been before
the people for nearly one year, dur
ing which time every step of its
progress has been watched by the
masses, and every breath Of its poi
son has penetrated the public mind
more thoroughly than any corrnp-
ton that has yet been before the
people. Already its influence is
telling on society. A year ago to
have mentioned such scandal in q
mixed community would have been
an outrage OF modesty Now we
seldom enter society without hear
ing the guilt or innocence of Beecher
discussed freely and unblushingly.
SO much injury has been done al
ready, and by the time the "Great
Scandal" shall have been the great
topic for the next six months, rs it
doubtless will, who can tell how
great will be its social evil.

disasters caused by avalanches in
the canyons of Utah. A slide took
place Jan. Dist extending to the dis
lance Of one mile in length, and
almost 800 yards in width, burying
up six men whose bodies have since
been recovered. Many others are
supposed to have persisted; but
then bodies lie deeply engulfed be-

house was found the body of Mrs.
Cary sitting in a rocking chair with
Ell infant clasped in her arms. Near
them were the husband and little
girl. All had persisted BY suifo-

Jehn Kelly, tho Tammany Dicta-
Hnf&'" tor, Skotched. N .r.,,,.s

New YoRK, October 10 Just now
John Kelly is the bette aeoir of ono
half of the daily newspapers of New
York, and the white idol of the other
half. He is accused y of being p O
public plunderer on the one hand,
and defended rs a pure and single
minded man on the other. The
reason for this onslaught and de-
fence is that he is the undoubted
dictator ef the Tammy Democracy,
and therefore the salient mark for
the shafts Of those who are striving
to break down tho power of Tamme-
ny Hall in the present political con-
test. In answer to the public craving
for some information concerning the
private history of this remarkable
man-for he who rose from Oh hum.
BILE lot to reign chief of the ruling
faction of the Democracy of the
metropolis must, be remarkable
man-one of the daily papers pub
fishes a racy sketch of him. We
learn from this that he is q New
Yorker (nstead, as hos been sup
posed an Irishman,) by birth that
he was born in poverty, and made
himself modestly we'll off by legiti-
mate business, and not by politics !;
that he has held but few offices, md
none of late years Che was once a
member of Congress,) and that he is
now engaged solely in the business
of running the local Democratic
party, for which tho expects and
wants no Office and will take no pay.
Kelly is lonely man. His wifeand
children are oil dead. but he lives in
the modest house in Lexington
avenue, where they once lived, sur
rounded by the mcmentoes of their
lives. He sits in his back parlor
and receives the world. Visitors arc
not required to be announced by
card oil can see him in turn, as long
as the hours of the daily reception
last TO be the dictator of politics
i'll Now York means that tho man
must give audience daily to hundred
of people with various axes to grind.
John Kelly is man, bulky in form
with big face, whose lower part is
covered with characteristic b,lshy
moustache and whislkers. Ono of
the best things said Of him is that
he is paying the expenses Of the
education of five young men, of them
being in Europe, and studying for
the ministry. OF course, this pic
turc of the Boss is not accepted as
accurate by his opponents. Accord
ing to the Herald and Sun he is as
wicked rs Tweed, and his natural
successor. So the local fight is cen-
tering on the character of John
Kelly; and by the result he will con
tinue to reign in greater power than
ever, or fall nevermore to rise

pause, he added: "Fortunately the

We have not stopped the train, but
we have succeeded in doing consid-
cradle damage to the property of this
company, for which, if discovered,
we shall have to pay. Now, madam,

Inu0cenceaand Obstinacy.

Tae other evening a Detroit Joker
slipped a little pink love letter into
the pocket of q staid old citizen as
they were riding on the street" ca,
Of course, the old citizens wife
made dive for his overcoat pockets
as she passed through tho hall, and
when she had digested the love let

A Heroine by Mistake.

Ono dark night, not long ago, a
burglar entered a private residence
on Broad. On ascending one
flight Of stairs he observed a light
in chamber, and while deliberating
what to do, q large woman suddenly
descended upon him, seized him by
the throat, pushed him down
through the hall, and forced him
into the street before he had time
to think. "Heroic Repulse of q
Burglar by Woman" was the way
the story was told the next day.
But when friends called and con
gratr,latod her upon her courage,
she exclaimed: "Good gracious |!
I didn't know it was burglar ! If
I had, L should have been frightened
to death. I thought it was my
husband come homo drunk, and +
was determined he shouldn't stay

A Now Application Of Gun Gotten

Tho telegraph recently gave us q
brief account of an explosion in a
"cellulloid" factory in Newark, N. j.
Most Of our readers, perhaps, mover
heard Of "celluloid' before, and Of
course have no idea what sort of q
manufactory was blown up in
Newark. "Celluloid" is newly dis
covered substance manufactured
from several ingredients, chief
among them gun cotton md cam
phor, which possesses high value
on account of it's close resemblance
to coral, ivory, tortoise shell, amber
or malachito, according to prefer
enco. Not only is it susceptible Of
the richest and most delicate color
ing, but is very light and ut the
same time very tough, and in these
respects superior to any known sub
stance now in use for great variety
Of purposes. The coral limitations
arc SO perfect that expert jewelers.
fail to detect it's real character with.
out close inspection The principal
seat Of it's manufacture is Newark,
though companies are springing up
i'll other parts Of the country. It is
largely used in the manufacture of
jewelry and fancy goods, and though
not easily broken, is highly inaam-
mable and ignites instantly, it is
said, when placed in contact with
fire. "...-' r.. 19f11J
