Mrs. Anna Augusta Moore, in hor
testimony at the Beeoher trial day or
two since, gave 'an insight into the
peculiarly silly twaddle in; which the
sol disant reformers Of the day indulge.
Fancy Stephen Pearl Andrews (he was
aiFonrieriss o when that heresy was in
vogue many years ago) and Tilton
talking for hours about .congenial
spirits and spheres and atmospheres. I"
Ihinkof the manly form of Tilton in
close proximity toa ''female congenial
snislk" who. stroking his intellectual
brow, tells him !.'what 6 lovely sphere
he had" Oan any one doubt that all
thi9, thil9 spherical and spiritual twaddle is
hpt the gsuze to conceal prurient
animalism, in which oil seem to be
partahers from Beecher DOWN.
Last week the Philadelphia people
were greatly alarmed by the appear
an9e of red chalk marks, of q mysteri-
ous kind. upon their front.doors.
Very coon some of these centennial
wiseacres attributed the mysterious
characters to a positive design of the
Irish population to butcher the inha.
bitants on st. Patriok's Day. There
has consequently. been tremendous
scare in the "Oity of Brotherly Love, +"
aiehough newspaper man has ha-
zefded the opinion that o carrier OF
one OF the papers placed the marks on
the doors to indicate to q new hand
where he was to leave his papers.

gigantic scales. The Times gives some
startling figures regarding them. The
licensed saloons amount in round num-
barsto 1000, graded from $3.50 to $50
fees esch per annum, and yielding last
year; total revenue to the city Of
S521, $50. The average daily receipts
to keep mp with rents and other heavy
expenses cannot be less than $40;
probably that is q email average. but
it represents dIily total Of $40, ,O00
