When he was saluted by ii pistol shot;
Quickly, then, TO the orehuid he run
"old lady - he cried, "mnlko haste and

IN the movement described in the
two last limos Bayly did not display
that military strategy for which his
uncle was noted in the Creek war
But, however,
The horses they Were greatly scared,
Not 40, Bayly.l
And pitched, and kicked, ana fret qud

Thus did Bayly.]
They broke down the fence and away they

Never before was II first class panic
and skedadle 50 graphically put on
paper! But the hustle in no wise dis
mays Bayly:
Bnyly, In his orchard alone,
Hastily gathered Il big lot OF stone,
And armed with his sword, pistol and gun,
Cried out: "Como ON aud let us have somo
fun"
Which is to say, that Bayly held his
pistol in one hand, his sword in the
other, his gun in the other, and con
tinuously fired stones at the enemy
with the other. AT least, that's our
solution of 1t. But this martial display
was all for naught, rs witness the
ninth verse:
But the boys We're gone he soon found out;
They left with hurrah, laugh and shout
Bayly In tho orchard, as all may easy see
Claimed for himselfa great vlctoree.
With the remembrance of that sword
and pistol "a seven-shooter, perhaps
1t is hardly probable any one will
dispute with Bayly MS to the "vio-
toree," so he can safely claim
1t, ifhe wants to. But the strength of
the story lies in its beautiful applica-

A BRIDAL lDYL.
81 Matter Of Fact" as Recorded BY
the Texan Poet Laureate.

Through the mail yesterday, THE
HERALD recei\ cd poem descriptive
OF tho marriage feast Of II couple lately
welded near Plano. II the charivari
was half ~ rough rs the lines eXplana-
tory thereof, no one could blame Bay
" for requesting the old lady to make
haste and fetch HIM his gun. The
verses break out with
The day was hne, the day was clear,
The table londed with good cheer;
Around tho board now listen, pray,
Was II bridal party so happy and gay.
What could be expected of
bridal party but that il should
be gay under the circumstan-
cGs Good cheer, which includes
"lashins' OF atm and dhrinkin',n good
weather, clear sky-why, even Mark
Tupley would have consented to be
jolly. The second stavo reads like II
hotel register, with tho same sweet
rythm that one finds in those gen.
timely poetic works.
There were the Wilbulns, the IIarriscs and
othor.;
The lIalchos. the STATIONS and Iluahines
brothers,
And many others OF renown ana famc--
For mo too many TO toll MI by name.
The last line, like charity, covers II
multitude of sins of omission, for
which the poet would otherwise prob
ably have had TO answer to the Smiths
and Joneses whose names could not be
made to rhyme. In the third stan2a II
climax Is reached, t0-wit:
And now the groom, giving the bride n kiss
said, "Hour name is no longer Harris
Matte Wilburn now Is your name
From Georgia nll the way came"
The exact connection Of the last line
with the body of the poem is thus OK
planned by the poet: ale cum from
Georgy.n The fun commences with
fourth act:
And all they laughed aud cheered so loud,
This joyful, gay aud happy crowd,
now falls cloud
And no one then did dream to SEQ
A party OF boys TO chivuree.
If, ut the beginning of This verse,
the reader viii hire y lew small boys
to rattle on an adjacent picket fence,
it will add materially to the dramatic
effect:

ATalk With Mr.. Beecher.
From the New York Sun, July Sd.

From the New York Sun, July Sd.
At the close of the prayer meeting for
NAL church meeting was held for the ad-
mission of new members and the transac-
ton of other business. Mr.. Beecher re-
manned to this meeting. A list of twenty
five or thirty names, to be admitted on pro-
fession Of faith, was reported by Brother
Sherman from the examining committee,
and duly admitted: also dozen or more
on letters from other churches, including
one family from the Lafayette Avenue
(Rev. DR.. Cuyler's) Presbyterian church.
This business finished, brother moved
that the pastors vacation begin after the
first Sabbath in July and continue until the
first Sabbath in October, period of three
months. This motion prevailed by unan-
imous vote.
The meeting then adjourned, and the
immense ongreGation-men, women and
children-pressed forward to shake hands
with Mr.. Beecher.
When the crowd began to thin some
what, the Sun reporter approached and
asked Mr.. Beecher ifhe would see him at
his residence for few minutes after he re
turned home,
Il will see you here, now," replied the
pastor. '
But / want to have a chat with you
alone, added the reporter.
Mr.. Beecher-What do you want to see
me about?
Reporter want to talk with you about
this trial.
Mr., Beecher-Well, come over here, land
we'll have talk.
So saying Mr.. Beecher diseugaged him
self FROM the friends who were surround
ing him, and led the way to the opposite
side of the room. There he invited the
reporter to seat, and, with a comical
twinkle in his eye, said Go ahead now
but | won't be interviewed. What do you
want to ask me?"
Reporter-How do you do. Mr.. Beecher ?
Mr. Beecher-Im pretty well, but l
don't want to be interviewed.
Both parties laughed at the ludlcrous-
ness of the situation.
Reporter-Seriously Mr.. Beecher, if
you are firmly resolved not to be inter
viewed, need not bother you any longer.
But if you will talk to any newspaper man,
| want you to talk to me.
Mr.. Beecher-I have concluded that it
Is not DCSI TOT ule talk muCN DeNOnu my
lectures and sermons. In them | have
said about all l want to say.
RepJrter-Will yuu answer me a few
questions.
Mr.. Beecher--Try me.
Reporter-What do you think of the re-
suit of the trial as announced to-day?
Mr.. Beeeher-I am satisfied. Why
shouldn't be2
Reporter-Do you consider it victory
for yourself?
Mr. Bcecher-It amt much of victory
against me, is it? If the victory amt mine,
whose is it?
Reporter-Shall you or will your coun-
sci press for new trial in the case?
Mr.. Beecher-Press for a new trial.
Press! What have got to press? / am
sued for damages. They haven't recov.
cred any, have they? If a man makes a
claim of a thousand dollars against you, dc
yon press him to sue il? I've got nothing

Beecher in the Future,
The N. Y. World closes lengthy !
view of the Beecher case as follows.

The N. Y. World closes lengthy re-
view of the Beecher case as follows:
But it by no means follows from this
that the defendant stands restored, by
this disagreement, to the place which he
occupied 10 the respect and confidence of
the American people before this disgust
ing scandal began. On the contrary,
while this trial has developed absolutely
nothing to justify the accusers of Mr..
Beecher in their gross chief accusation
against him, it has revealed thousand
things which more than justify the pro-
found distrust long felt by thousands of
thoughtful and conservative minds of the
moral methods and the religious theories
Of Mr.. Beecher and of Mr.. Beecher's
school. Mr.. Beecher stands substantially
acquitted to-day of adultery with Mrs.
Titon; but he stands also to-day substan-
tally convicted of enabling MIR Tilton to
bring such an accusation against himself
with plausibility, by his loose and needless
disregard Of the conditions which sober
and law-respecting men observe in the for
nation and establishment of their social
and personal relations in life. If we &C
cept Mr.. Beecher's own account of the
origin of all this scandal, it convicts him
of consulting only his own personal senti-
ment and convenience in an emergency
which really involved much wider inter
ests. He was plainly held and bound to
regard that accusation as an attack upon
the great social sanctities of his profes-
sion, and as such to repel it instantly and
Indignantly. Instead of doing this he fell
to arguing, sympathiziug and comprom-
Using with his assailants, writing them
letters in an unknown tongue, and supply.
ing them with the material of the mon
strous mud-yolcano which has been vom
iting itself over the whole country fol
months past. The skill of the able law.
yers who have defended him before Judge
Nelson's court was scarcely needed tc
overthrow the specific charge brought
against him in that court But not ever
these able lawyers can clear him in thu
public opinion of the American people o.
the hardly less grave and the more widely
mischieyous offense of dealing with pub
lie outrage as if it were private wrong.

me, let them press for it. l have nothing

Reporter--But a verdict in your favor
would have been more satisfactory, would
it not2 ~, .s.
Mr.. Beecher-Now, how stupid people
are on that matter of verdict. I have
asked for no verdict. ! didn't begin this
suit. I am the defendant What do /
want of verdict? I don't want them to
get verdict against me; but / haven't
asked for any verdict against them.
They drag me into court under GER
tain charges. Have they proved them
IF they have no verdict they have failed,
have they not? What more do l want?
Reporter-Well, Mr.. Beecher, you or
your counsel caused the Indictment of Mr..
Tilton, last fall on some criminal charge.
Is it your purpose, or that of your counsel
to press that indictment to trial?
Mr.. Beecher If was twenty-five years
younger would belong to the order OF
Know othings.
Reporter evening, sir.
Mr.. Beecher--Good evening / will be
glad to help you at any time l can but
don't want to be interviewed tonight.
