we suppose, at what they considered our
mulishness with regard to their Hydro
carbon Backing, made a thorough trial Of
it on an old harness that had been pretty
much thrown aside, at the editors car
rage house. We were then asked TO com
pare it with another that had been over
hauled in the ordinary way with CASTLE
soap and meats foot oil, and to tell our
readers the conclusion arrived at in the
premises. We are constrained to say the
harness is handsomely blacked and polish
ed, and the AexibiIity of the leather is full
ly equal to the oil-cleaned one. Our scep-
tieism has been put to pretty severe test.
As the appearance was all right, We fell
back upon the common objection that it
would injure the leather. This was met by
a pledge that $50 was ready to be handed
over to any one who would show an I'M
stance where the leather had been injured
by the use Of the blacling, where the appli-
cation had been made according to pre-
scription. The result is we have been tax
en- down. and the backing is borne out in
all that is claimed for it.

tocism, as he dealt largely in the notions OF
that peculiar sect. But as to the guilt. Of
Mr.. Beecher. there can be no doubt-ths
evidence comes pouring in with such vast
array of facts and circumstances, that it is
truly overwhelming. We win notice but 8
few. When Mrs Woodhull and Mrs. Hook
er demanded of Beeeher open support, by
vindicating their cause, Mr.. Beecher hesi-
tated. Should he do so, his moral power
was gone. The women werea imperi-
ous-one Of them was his own sister. They.
knew his guilt and were determined in
their purpOse-they exposed him through
the public press. We find the great pastor
of Plymouth Church bathed in tears, at the
feet of Moulton and Tilton, obsequiously
pleading for help. Look at the train of let
ters that followed, which-says Professor
Fairfeld-aIOns establish his guilt. See
the profusion ofmoney poured into Tlton's
pocket. What next? Why, Beecher
swears that the pressure was so intense
that he wrote his resignation, and eonclud-
ed to ''Step down and out, " that is as he
explains It, down from Plymedth Church
and out of Brooklyn-would not this have
been strange step for an innocent man?
Some may enquire why did Mr.. Beecher
change his purpose? We answer: There
is some Of the best stock in the city Of
Brooklyn in Plymouth Church, refer to
the Pews. These are mostly owned BY men
out Of the Church and rent at the enor-
nous sum of over sixty thousand dollars
annually. This sum added to the other ex-
penses amount toan annual income Of over
s,0OO-hence it will be seen that no other
man could fill Mr.. Beeeher's place. Should
any doubt remain concerning this matter
please look at recent speech of his, as re-
ported in the N z Times. In this
speech Mr.. B. says, s'Ifiit had not been for
the nature of the stock in Plymouth Church,
he would long ago have been dsIpesVto the
auaH.n And now at last comes the time
honored Father Bowen-one Of the found i
ers Of Plymouth Church. revealing facts of
the most damaging character, which in
their very nature could not have been in
vented without detection. But once more
look at the so-called tribunals and coun-
cils that Mr.. Beecher has been pleased to
call, what are they in reality but a bur
lesque on justice? and while he is imperi-
ously defying. testimony from heaven,
earth or hell, at the same time opposing,
with all his power, an impartial investiga-
ton. R. DIN

DraggIng ems TsxIeaenee

The nervous weakly invalid does not enjoy life,
but merely ''drags out existence" as the phrase
is. Uuftted for the active pursuits OF life, and
incapable Of partaking OF its pleasures. to which
health alone can give zest. Disinclined 10 social
intercourse, and prey to melancholy, the vale
tldiDarianis is indeed an object Of pity. Yet there
is no hing in all this that cannot be rsmedied by
ttat genial, alternative tonic and neryine Hostel
er's Stomach Biiters, which supplies deficient
stamina, braces the nervous system. and over
comes those bodily irregularities 10 which ner-
gestion and uterine troubles are fertile sources
OF debility. Their eFadica ton, however, be-
comes matter Of certainly when Hostetter's Bit
ters are systematically used for that purpose.
The Bitters likewise annihilate fever and ague
and other debilitaing febrile complaints Of q
