More Accusations Against
ReccincF.

A special to the Boston Herald
from ST. Adams, says: 1T has just
leaked out, through an acquaint-
ance of Oscar G.. Barron, son Of Asa
Barron, proprietor of the Twin
House, that young Barron knows
considerable about the movements
and actions Of Beecher at that ho-
tel when he and Mrs. Tilton were
guests there. This friend of Bar
ron's says if the latter, with his
wife, who was employed at the
hotel before their marriage, and
some of the other old employees,
were summoned before compe-
tent court and disclosed what they
know, some matters would come
to light which would be far more
damaging to Beecher than any ev-
idehce yet produced. The infor-
nation claims to be from the best
authority"

A Quaker Elopemcmt.

The village Of Millbrook. on the
Duchess and Columbia railroad, is
in q fever of excitement over an
elopement which occurred there
last Saturday. The principals in
the affair are Mr.. John Raymond,
a Quaker, forty years old, and a
Miss Kate Wheeler, twenty-one
year old house girl. The facts of
the case are these: Katy was
working in Johns house as SER
want. For about Is months they
have been suspiciously intimate,
but, it seems, Mrs. Raymond was
unaware of the true state of affairs
until last Saturday. On that day
John and Katy got their heads to-
gether and concocted plan for
their special pleasure and the con-
sternation of all the quiet, peace
loving citizens Of that village of
condensed milk and coffee mill no
toriety. On the day mentioned,
John and his wife started to visit
a friend at Verbank. The same
evening Katy took the milk train
on the Duchess and Columbia road,
and as the train neared Verbank,
John said to his wife, II guess I'll
go down to the depot and see the
train come in.n The unsuspecting
Mrs. Raymond let him go, and he
has not returned since, He board
ed the train and he and his dear
little Katy proceeded to Mattawan
where they took the omnibus for
Fishkill station, and from thence
west by express to New York
Katy drew some money that she
had deposited in the Poughkeepsie
Savings bank a few days before,
and John, who was Treasurer of
the Millbrook division of Sons of
Temperance, forgot to leave his re-
ceipt for $14. The saddest part OF
the affair is that his wife and six
children are left destitute, the brute
taking every cent he could get
hold of. He was in the employ eff
Mr.. John Lane. Certain parties
claim a knowledge of his wherea-
bouts, and it is to be hoDed that he
will be ierreted out and dealt with

The Bridgeport Standard nomi-
mates General Alfred III. Terry fer

Dudley Field says that every
twelfth man In New York holds a

is looking for one.
Jefferson Davis, in speech be

New Orleans last Friday. opposed
national aid for repairing the Mis-
sissippi levees.
One San Francisco paper aston
ishes the rest by proposing Sena-
tor Newton Booth for Vice Presi-
denton the Republican ticket, with
Secretary Fish for President.
The Whitehall IN. W Chroni-
Gle believes that Secretary Bristow
and Stewart Il. Woodford would
make the strongest Presidential
ticket the Republicans could NOM
mate.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
of March /, says Hendricks Is
playing havoc with the chances of
all other Democratic candidates for
the Presidency down South, and
that he will go into the Uonven-
ton with Louisiana, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Texas and Georgia
pledged to his support.
Judge Black thinks it will take
something more than the Belknap
scandal to float the Democrats into
power. When asked by cores
pendent ofthe Philadelphia Times
if he did not think the exposure
would give the Democrats the
country, he replied: mo, not of
itself; I hardly think so la order
to carry an election by excitement
it is necessary to keep up the fever

if he did not believe there was ma
terial for keeping up the fever
heat, he said "Well, now, you see
by what a mere accident this has
come out, and how hastily they
are covering up the debris of the
explosion already. 1t was nothing
but a quarrel between two women
Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Belknap-
which brought out this thing

Senator Davis.

The Washington and Baltimore
Enquirer has this to say OF our Sem
atol., Mir. Davis:
Ion the Democratic side of the
Senate chamber there has sat for
many years quiet gentleman who
has soberly discharged his duties in
the committee room and conscienti-
ously voted with his party wherever
his vote would tell, but he has rarely
made speeches until lately. Now he
often makes his opinions known, land
people are beginning to find that SEN
ator Davis is worth attention. Those
swift critics in the reporters gallery
stop writing now when Mr.. Davis
rises, and listen, sure of some item
which will give their fertile brain a
text for more than one despatch. =
Senator Davis occupies house on
Massachusetts avenue, which has the
rare distinction of enclosure crowded
with shrubbery. Mrs. Davis is not
fond of society, so young lady
daughter receives for her upon Sena-
tafial days, and there are few houses
where calls are more agreeable this
Young hostess makes her guests as
sured Of welcome when they enter !;
She has really something to say dur
ing their stay; her table of refresh
ments is tempting and eff you know
enough to say a bright thing your
self. it falls upon an appreciative ear,

When viii Trade Revive !.

The New York Bulletin has a
somewhat lengthy article upon
this subject. 1t arrives at the fol-
lowing conclusion.
Production cannot be expected
TO become active until stocks on
hands are exhausted. This ex-
haustion will not take place till all
the old clothes that can be made
TO look in any way respectable
have been worn out. The same
rule applies in other directions.and
until existing reserves Of grain,
iron, leather, etc., are slowly and
cautiously consumed, an active
business in most articles of COM
merce is not likely to take place"
1t ascribes the present stagnan-
cy to a widespread distrust, and
says:
Trade will fully revive when
men have regained confidence in
each other, and when taxation and
currency are on a sound stable
basis.
To bring about this copbination
may be long and painfnl process,
but it is the sole road out of pres
ent troubles. The sharpers and
swindlers, of whatever kind and
degree, must be ostracised. Hon
est men must come to the front and
take the lead. Accommodation
must be extended to trusty bor-
rowers, and TO them alone. Law
must thoroughly protect every cit
izen in the full and undisturbed
possession of his own. All swind-
ling, under whatever pretcxt or
disguise. must be certainly pun
ished, if not by the courts, at all
events by public opinion. Dis.
honest men must be made to feel
that, whatever their wealth or po-
sitions, their dishonesty forfeits
and destroys their social standing.
When honesty is commercially
and socially at premium, and
roguery commercially and socially
far below par, trade will revive
and flourish.

| From The Methodist.

You cannot make people honest
by paying them large salaries.
Our public servants were less sus-
pected, and a less number were
guilty, when the salaries were
smaller than now. tits living be-
yond income that has been with
most defaulters the first step, and
we say In all earnestness that in
every case living beyond income
was needless and criminal. The
great body OF the people are in no
mood to be trified with by puerile
pleas abodt social position and
beautiful extravaganza. That
kind Of life is essentially vulgar
because 1t lacks the highest cul-
ture, which Is self-controI and self
denial.

before i'll Cincinnati.
All shades and colors are becoming

Ilulged in Worth's most effective
combinations. AT the many enter
tainments she has attended this win
ter she has looked beautiful in any
costume. Mrs. Belknap is dainty
ffom head to foot. Her foot is the
smallest in Washington. She wears
number one and a half shoes, though
she is five feet six inches in height.
Slippers and boots of satin for these
