HOW THE BIRD SUNG.

The number or people present yesterday at the
Tlton. Beecher trial did not show the slightest
falling OF from the attendance OF the day before,
when the rush for places was very great. It was
the fourth day or Mr.. Beecheris direct testimony.
Mr.. Evarts took him through an explanation of
several OF his letters 10 Mrs. Tton, ana the great
preacher gave explanations which, no doubt VIII
be regarded with satisfaction by those VINO,
through gooG and evl report look upon him as
one assailed but able and willing TO beat back
the lmputarions OF his accusers by the use OF skill
fully constructed phrases and sentences. When
Mr.. Beecner Is TO be taken out OF Mr.. Evarts'
crucibe is not positively known. Fullerton
looks as II ne would like 60 have an encounter
In the way OF crosse Examination with Mr.. Beecher
right away; and indeed, IL would seem, from
some words already dropped by the lawyer, that
he intends to Ego lori the divine. When he does
get him in his hands the conflict VIII De an inter-
estlng exhibition OF talent between two men well
versed in the application OF words.
Toward the close of yesterdays proceedings Mr..
Beecher was questioned In regard 20 his acquaint-
ance with Mrs. Woodruff, and how IL came about.
BY reference TO the testimony IL VIII be what
ne said this subject. The substance, however,
OF IL was that This Acquaintance was, as ne SAID,
intruded on him.
At this stage OF the proceedings IN the great
Brooklyn trial there is naturally an absorbing
interest Mr.. Beecher himself IS on the stand
he + known to all the world. His sermons have
been OF that mandy, transmissible kind that next
70 the works oil Dickens, have passed current in
every Christian land.
Beecner's appearance on the stand was nothing
singular. He sat at times little back and an.
swered with ease and elaboration. When the
question happened TO be OF more than unusually
exciting character he lifted himself by his arms
lew inches above his chair and projected his reply
Beecher's present appearance personified, as did
that OF every one else among the audience, an
anxious expectant OF the verdict OF the jury. Mr..
Beecher was a reminder and an example. In his
looks and demeanor he presented an embodimenr
OF twenty-five years OF American history and 81
Brooklyn society. and all OF this the witness had
the vanity 10 think was his work and authorship.
Mr.. Beecher as witness falls below Tllton In
nuency and scholarship. Neither Tilton nor
Beecner has been educated In the sense OF those
men who 90 forth into the world from the great
universities OF Europe.
THE JURY.
The twelve good men and true who occupy the
jury box, attract the attention OF the spectators
The people who are admitted TO the court look at
them generally with a gaze OF wonder Men
who are certain 70 pass down TO posterity In the
columns OF the daily press OF United states
not TO be met with every day. IL IS not at all
times that you can set your eye a Beecaer q
Tlton, Moulton. or Beecher-case Jurymaa. Yet
there they are. twelve OF them. they nave re-
reived tine first instalment OF their paw, and hope
to live and draw more. and 70 give verdict. That
Is all the casual visitor sees, knows, or cares.
