rrs. Tnton,s Mysterious Letter.

The Brooklyn trial, in itself perpetual as
constituent, is full Of minor surprises, like an
old-fashioued pantomime, in which Harlequin
jumps through the face OF the clock, and the
Clown, in close pursuit, is knocked out Of
time by the hands. We had supposed, after
Mr.. Eyarts had declined the offer of Mr..
Beach, that Mrs. Tllton, like Lady TeaZle's
honor, was to be left out Of the discussion;
but yesterday this lady made her personal APP
pcarance in the trial, Of which previously she
had been merely a spectator. When Mrs.
Tilton, rising in court, handed Judge Neil
son communication, with the request that
he would read it to the jury or have it
published, everybody was astounded with the
probable exceptions Of the defendant and his
counsel. It is unlikely that she took such an
important step without first informing those
gentlemen. IL was an irregular proceeding,
and SO recognized by Judge Nelson, who
desired Mr.. Evarts 10 see to the matter Mr.
Evarts accepted the responsibility by taking
the communication and passing it to the
Bench Mrs. Tilton's action has, therefore,
tho consent, even if not the approval of Mr..
Beccher's lawyers The Judge postponed the
expected scene, when, after reading the letter,
he announced that the matter would have his
deliberate consideration.
We pray Ills Honor not to let the anxious
public burst in ignorance because Of any
''waste Of unnecessary time" TIE time re-
quirod for deliberate consideration is indof-
mite. u may b. week or q day, and th3

that il has an interest in this letter for

Mrs. Tilton's request informs Us that II was

By an admrer, Heaven forbid TIT we should

which no gentleman could be guilty. But it

is clearly Tiltonian encyclical II 10
supposed to contain some astounding
fact, and while His Honor has the legal
right to withhold it altogether II ne
wishes, he is dramatically bound to give 1t to
the world. His Honor has, probably, in the
intervals of legal study sought mental recre-
alton in reading serial stories, and remembers
how, at the end of a chapter, the Indian
buried his blood-stained hand among those
golden locks the toinahawz flashed in the air,
when, suddenly, the maiden screamed-''To
be continued in our next" Let him recall
the distress no then felt, and sympathize with
that of the public now.
The contents oil this mysterious letter can
be only conjectured, but as there is always
reason to believe that the maiden was not
scalped, so we are justified in supposing that
Mrs. Tilton declared her Willingness to appear
as witness. If this be the case, then her ac-
ton is intended as q parry to the home thrust
which Mr.. Beach delivered on Friday. when
he said that the plaintiff would not object to
her appearance on the stand. But the parry
comes too late, after the man has been run
through. 1t is not the mere readiness of Mrs.
Tilton to testify that the public cares for, but
the willingness of Mr.. Beecher's lawyers to
produce her. Mr.. Evarts has refused to do
this because of moral reasons and legal i'm
possibilities, and after that final act PROPOSE
ton from Mrs. Tilton could have no stand
ing in court. We can well understand the
anxiety Of the lady to tell her story, and
have advocated her right to do SO.
Out of court this is her privilege,
but in court she can only appear as
witness, and, if this letter to the Judge
should be an attempt to influence the jury
by an &c parte statement, we think 1t will
prove to be a grave mistake. If any one OF
the lawyers for the defendant has approved
such on attempt he has wronged bis asso-
ciates by exposing them to unjust suspicion as
being in collision with a trick. The only
honorable way in which Mrs Tilton can be.
an oath as q witness, and, as she is on the
side of the defendant, she should not
even express her willingness to the Court
after the counsel for the defendant have
declared that they will not summon her. But
it is to be hoped that there is nothing in this
mysterious letter that is Objectionable. We
have not attempted, even, to peep into the en-
velope, like the postmistress in "Waverley,"
but have simply commented upon its probable
contents, as inferred from the situation and
from Mrs. Tiltons remarks to a reporter for
the HERALD. The matter may be very safely
left to Judge Nelson, who will certainly not
read to the jury any proposition or statement
of person disqualified as witness.

A Hint to tho Park Commissioners.

The metropolis of America has every reason
to be proud of Central Park, delightful re-
sort, in which the closely confined denizens of
this great city can always find health and
enjoyment. Nature and art combine in
making our beautiful Park everything that
can be desired, and it Only remains for the
Commissioners in whose hands 1t is placed
to fulfil all the necessities and wants OF their
numerous patrons. There is lake, a very
acceptable sheet Of water for rowing matches,
where the bono and muscle of our athletic
oarsmen might be shown 10 advantage;
croquet grounds, from which gentlemen are
unjustifably excluded; plenty Of room for a
race track and ample accommodations for
walking and running matches, and yet the
Park Commissioners make no provisions to
encourage such manly exercises. Rowdyism,
the bugbear that is supposed to be an inevi-
table appendage to such sports, can very
easily be excluded by the perfect discipline
and complete arrangements OF the Park
police. The Park should not be merely
promenade, but the citizens Of New York look
forward to find its sphere Of usefulness ex-
tended to its proper limits. The Commission.
ers should do oil in their power to encourage
athletic sports, and should not Be frightened
by the silly idea Of possible rowdyism when
they have such ample police materials at their
command

The Yachting Season.

The coming spring brings with it the open
the American Calendar. New York, sur
rounded by the most beautiful bay in the
world, with Long Island Sound lowering upon
its borders, and the magnificent Hudson,
open to navigation for the most attractive part
d its distance, the Upper and Lower bays, ard
the broad sea within easy journey, offers more
opportunities for yachtsmen than perhaps any
other metropolis in the world. Although
spring has been late and we have had
stories Of oppressive ice formation in
tie North Atlantic seas, and nearly
every steamer that has come to our
port has brought with it some dreadful tales
Of disasters in different attitudes, there is
still room for believing that the spring will
bring with it genial skies and afford an I'M
usually attractive season for the yachtsmen
and those who follow the water as a matter
OF pleasure and excitement.
The New York Yacht Club and the sister
clubs who, under other names, have their
place upon the waters surrounding New
York, have arranged for q programme OF
more than usual interest Tie New York
Club hrs reorganized by choosing officers
whose merit and service will do much toward
maintaining the prestige Of that famous
organization. Mr.. Kingsland, although
a young man, is one Of the Oldest officers Of
the club Mr.. Garner is a gentleman APP
preciating the value Of yachting and he
proves his faith by building one of the
LARGEST centreboard schooners which has
ever been built in our waters. Mr.. Kane is a
graduate Of Annapolis, who served with
credit in the United States Navy, and he
brings into his gentler vocation the ripe ex-
perience Of tried naval officer. In fact, we
think the club was never in better condition
than at present; never under the administra-
ton Of gentlemen more worthy Of the conf
dcncc and respect Of our people. There is no
reason Why the season Of 1876 should not
be equal in every respect to the many bril-
liant seasons that have gone before.

The High Tide.

A careful calculation OF the exact increase
in business and circulation Of most Of the
journals in this city, as recorded in their
columns, satisfies US that each of them must
print over million of copies daily and earn
an income Of two or three millions year. So
far from enyylng this prosperity we rejoice IN
it. We have our own consultations. We do not
speak Of tho HERALD, but permit it to speak
for itself. Many Of our recent issues have
been so burdened with advertisements that,
although we printed twenty-page paper, we
have found it task to print oil the news.
The HERALD of recent date printed the
largest number of advertisements ever pub
lished in it's columns, and larger than in any
newspaper in the country. There were three
thousand four hundred distinct advertisements,
embracing eighty-four columns, or fourteen
pages of this journal This is the highest
point of our spring business tide, and 1t IS
curious as showing how business of this
peculiar character and magnitude should re-
spond to unerring laws. 1t was about this
time last year and the year before that we
reached our maximum. Thus:-
