The .1ttton- Beecher Tr;oI,

BROOKLYN, Feb. Notwithstanding
the intensely disagreeable weather, the
Courtroom was crowded to-day with
spectators TO witness the proceedings OF
the great scandal trial. All the inter-
estet parties appeared before IL O'Clock,
looking anxious and uncomfortable.
Titon resumed the stand. Eyarts
handed him copy of the triparte cove
nant, which Tilton identified as being an
exact copy OF the one signed by him.
Witness then stated that when the meet
ing OF the arbitration was held the cove
nant was read.
When the paragraph relating to Bowen
was reached witness said if Bowen will
sign that portion I'll sign twenty times
over.
The retraction was SO sweeping on
Bowers part, and he had circulated
such terrible stOries about Beecher, and
himself and witness, that he, witness,
was filed with a sense OF BOwen's mag
Danimity.
Z Tie arbitrators at the meeting were
MoulIOn for witness, Wilkinson for
Bowen, and Ciaflin for Beecher. Wit
ness signed it. alter Claflin said Bowen
would have to sign it.
BROOKLYN, Feb. 1.-Two copies of the
covenant Were made but only one signed,
which Claflin took. The award received
by witness was 5000. Witness was
asked if he did not refuse the covenant
until Bowen paid the money. Tilton re-
piled. "No: that was statement pub
tished by Wilkinson. and it was a lie.
Beecher signed the covenant first, wit

BAR iron to-day is selling at 2-75 and
cents per pound, and pig-No. foundry
at $2S to $50; when the usual rates for
years past have been AZ cents per pound
and $4S and upward respectively. Even
at the low prices above mentioned the
supply far exceeds the demand;
in fact there is no demand as prices
prove, except a merely tritling one hard
ly worth noticing. OF the causes which
have led to a decline of this industry,
employing such vast capital and hun
dreds of thousands of workmen all over
the country, the most prominent is the
decline of railroad building and railway
business. Many lines are in sore need of
new rails but are unable to buy them, as
manufacturers will not give credit and
the railroads have no cash. To the sud
den falling off in the demand for rails
must be added similar condition of
affairs in the machine business; in fact,
to nearly every department of industry
which uses IRONY. Y. Sun.
THE take of herrings on the northeast
set down at 100000, 900. Most of the
cured fish go to the North German and
Baltic ports, to be consumed by German
peasants and emancipated Russian serfs.
Already 100000 barrels have been
shipped to these regular municipalities.
The Scotch herring fishery is situated on
one of the most dangerous coasts in the
world, as the North Sea is especially
stormy, and there are few safe harbors
along Eastern Scotland. Yet it is said
that, with all the hardships and perils the
fishermen are compelled to undergo,
they are thriving and happy race, and
show an aggregate of mortality much
lower than that of many comparatively
safe trades, as, for instance, that of the
mason. From the forty miles of sea-
board in Aberdeenshire, I, 800 boats are
sent to the fisheries, 800 of which hail
from Fraserburg alone.

Magr uder's Goat.

MRS. MAGRUDER's baby is carried out
by the nurse now, since the accident to
its carriage. Magruder thought 1t would
be a good idea to have a tame goat to
pull the coach, and he bought one for the
purpose; but one day the goat met
another goat that differed from him in
politics or religion, or something, and
jamming him in the skull. Every time
Magruder's goat would rear up prepare
tory to making a lunge forward, Magru-
der's baby would lurch over backward,
and when Magruder's goat struck the
other goat the conclusion would shake
the milk in the baby's stomach into but
ter. And sometimes the other goat would
aim at Magruder's goat, which would
dodge, and then the other goa: would
plunge headforemost into the coach, and
mash the baby up in the most frightful
manner. And in the midst of the contest
a couple Of dogs joined in, and Magru
der's goat backed off and tilted the coach
into the gutter, and the dogs, biting
around kind of generally, would snap at
the goat and cause it to whirl the baby
around just in time for the bite; until at
last the goat got disheartened and sprang
through the fence, leaving the coach on
the other side, and it struggled franti
cally to escape, while the other goat

4 RURAL SANTA CLAUS.

ONE night when the ground was all covered with
snow
Old Santa Claus saddIed his reindeer to GO
For the hills were covered with slcet and with
frost
That he knew if he went in his sleigh he'd be
lost.
So he saddled his reindeer and pnt on his pack,
And then he sprang up on the animals back;
Il will tell Just here what found out at school
That.the gentleman's reindeer, translated, means
muie)
The'nioht was a cold onc-uncommon1y dark
The steed was unbrokcn, and kept crying
s.Hark!''
And Santa kept telling himself all along,
That he found matters so dreadfulIy
wrong
Altar on hill through the cOmfortless night,
Some broad parlor windows burst, cleaning and
bright;
Then Santa's kind bosom beat warm with con-
tent,
For right to that dwelling of course he was bent.
He brushed with his mItten the frost from his
chin,
Then pushed the door open and softly stole in;
The little folks sprang from their corners-ha,
ha!
And caught the old fellow, and he was-papa!

being naturally inquisitive, he walked up

them to gather around the pipes. One
of the statesmen, noticing that the Gus
TONER'S curiosity was aroused, deter

pense. He accordingly made a wager
for the cigars that not one in the whole
party could lift the box" four inches

hands with him in token of accepting the
bet and placed himself in position. In
the meantlme one OF the statesmen Hdu
turned on a full head of steam, and the
man grasped the heated tubes. That
