From the recent history OF the
Brooklyn trial it would appear that it's
Tilton and not Beecher who is on trial.
Thus far the testimony put forward by
the defence has been, not to prove
Beccher's innocence. but to show that
Tilton is very immoral and corrupt

perhaps, that if they prove this it will
serve as an eXtcnuation for Beecher's

with equal emphasis against the third
term. lie is the Republican nominee
for Congress, and his Unionism and
Abolitionism arc of the old fashioned
rugged sort on which there is no dis

nights ago General Hawley said of the

than two terms. Applause 1t is

should be opposed to the nomination
of any candidate for a third term under
any circumstances. Applause, Even
in case OF Il war, IL would be better for
Grant to be in the field than in the
Presidency" When it is remembered
that General l"lawlcy is one of the lead
ing Republicans of the country, and
in perfect accord with. though at pres
ent more outspokcn than Wilson,
Blaine, Garfield, Poland, Dawes and
others, who will in time show equal
nerve, his utterances are significant.
The men who made the Republican
party seem to have determined to put
an end to Grantism. Tic President
may be strong enough to break up the
party, but they will doubtless be strong
enough to retire him to private life.
Their only chance is in his overthrow.

had figured, were not more i~ncisive
than relevant. The crowds who went

A CORRESPONDENT asks rs to explain
why we say that Grants Des Moines
speech indicates perverted moral ma
ture. Because it not only contemplates
and foretells with GOODNESS, and without
any sentiment of horror, a bloody war
between American citizens, growing out
of differences in religion, but is calcu-
lated to foment and encourage, with all
the authority Of the Presidential office,
such damnable animosities. 1t is not
only intensely wicked, but hostile to the
Constitution and to the traditional policy
of the country. No man of an upright
mind and true American heart could
entertain such ideas or deliver such Il
speech.-N. Y Sun.

pound to the traveller, who views these
rocky ruins, the geological history Of this
country. From a distance we viewed
the ghstening, hacked and riven rocks as
a singular scene; but when we stood
among them, and noted the appearance
of the rocky fragments of granite, gneiss
and porphyry, peeled as it were, rind
after rind, or leaf after leaf, like an artl
choke, until the rock was wasted away,
it seemed as if Dame Nature had lett
these relies, these hill Y skeletons, to dem
onstrate her laws and her career. 1t
seemed TO me as if she said, "Lo and be-
hold this broad basin OF Matongo, with
its teeming villages and herds OF cattle
and fields of corn, surrounded by these
bare rocka-in primeval time this land
was covered with water, it was the bed OF
vast sea. The waters were dried, leaV-
ing wide expanse of level land, upon
which | caused heavy rains to fall five
months out of the year during all the
ages that have elapsed since first the hot
sunshine fell upon the soil. These rains
washed away the loose sand and made
deep furrows in course Of time, until ut
certain places the rocky kernel under the
soil began to appear. The furrows be-
came enlarged, the water frittered away
their banks and conveyed the earth away
to lower levels through which it wore
away channel first through soil and
lastly through the rock itself, which you
may see if you but walk to the bottom of
that basin. You will there behold
channel worn through the solid rock
some fifty feet in depth and as you look
on that you will have an idea OF the pow
er and Iorce of the tropical rains. 1t is
through that channel that the soil robbed
from these rocks has been carried away
toward the Niyanza, to ill its depth and
in time make dry land of it. Now, you
may ask, how came these once solld
rocks, which are now but skeletons oil
hills and stony heaps, be thus split into
so many different fragments? Haveyou
never seen the effect of water thrown
upon lime? The solid rocks have been
broken and peeled in an almost similar
form. The tropical sun heated the sur
face of these rocks to an intense heat,
and the cold rain falling upon the heat
ed surface caused them to split and peel
as you now see them," .... ...

FIGHTING RENEWED,

But though we were slow to war upon
people whom | thought might be made
friends the previous day, we were not
slow to continue fighting if the natives
were determined to fight Accordingly
selected four experienced men to lead
four several detachments, and gave or
ders that they should march i'll different
directions through the valley and meet
at some high rocks distant five miles of
that they should seize upon all cattle and
burn every village as soon as taken,
0bedent to the command they sallfed
out of the camp and began the second
days fight.
They were soon vigorously engaged
with the enemy, who fled fast and iurl
Gus before them to an open plain on the
banks of the Leewolmu. The de ash
ment under FariaIla Christie became too
excited. and because the enemy ran, inn
agned that they had but to show them
selves to cause the natives to fly; but
once on the plain-having drawn them
away, isolated miles from any succor-
they turned upon them and slaughtered
the detachment to a man, except the
messenger who had been detailed to ac-
company the detachment to report sue
cess or failure | had taken the precau-
ton to send ole swift-man to accompany
each detachment for this purpose. This
messenger came from Farjalla to procure
assistance, which was at once dispatched,
though too late to aid the unfortunate men
bul not too late to save the second de-
tachment from like fate, as the victori-
GUS enemy, after slaughtering the lirat
detachment, mad turned upon the second
with the evident intention cut the entire
force opposed to them in detail. When
the support arrived theYfound the sec
ond detachment all but los. Two sol
diers were killed. The captain, Ferahan,
had deep spear wound in his side. The
others were hemmed in on all sides A
volley was poured into the rear OF the
astonished enemy, and the detachment
was saved With their combined forces
our people poured in a second volIey, and
continued their march almost unoppOsed
to the northern and eastern extremity OF
the valley. Meanwhile, smoke was seen
issuing from the south and southeast, in-
forming us that the third and fourth de-
tachments were pursuing their way vic
toriously, and soon a score or more villa
ges were enwrapped in dense volumes of
smoke. Even at a distance of eight miles
we beheld burning villages, and shortly
after fired settlements to the north and
east announced our victory on all sides.
Toward evening the soldiers returned,
bringing cattle and an abundance of
grain to the camp; but when the muster
roll was called found l had lost twenty
one men, who had been killed, while
thirty-fve deaths of the enemy were re-
ported.
