The Characterization Of Bowen.

Dir. Beecher seems to have been driven
by the assaults Of his enemies into posi-.
ton of defiance, in which he will neither
ask nor give quarter, but fight it out with.
out gloves. OF bis speech, made at the
business meeting Of. Plymouth Church on
Friday evening last, the Times says:
Mr.. Beecher's speech, though short, was
grandly effective, and perfectly electrified
his hearers. He spoke with amazing elo.
quence and power, and his gesticulations
and attitudes were those Of finished art
list. In the sentence in which he de.
nounced Mr.. Bowen's allegation as false
in every particular, and called upon God
to witness the truth of his statement, he
drew himself up to his full height, and the
power Of his utterance became irresistible,
and his audience applauded to the echo.
Again, when he told his congregation that
no secret investigation should be held with
his consent, but that the relations between
Mr. Bowen and himself should be pub
lished to the world, he was greeted with
enthusiastic applause, 1t was at the con-
elusion of his speech, however, where he,
in the presence of Almighty God, de-
nounced Henry G.. Bowen as a slanderer
and liar, that the enthusiasm reached its
climax, being again and again repeated.
During the latter portion Of Mr.. Beecher' 5
speech, Mrs. Beecher bent her head on
her folded hands and wept Historically.

Our Navy.

Admiral Porter says, in his regular re-
port of the condition of the Navy, that
"At present the United States stands No.
on the list Of naval powers; but, taking into
consideration the amount of money we have
wasted in mistakes, we are the third naval
power of the world in point of expense"
This is startling showing from the
chief naval officer of the country, but still
it is entirely in accordance with the man
agement Of the whole government during
the incumbency Of the Republican party.
Of course no account is taken Of any ex-
penditures during the war, nor of the ex-
travagance and jobbing which have char
acterized the management of this Depart
ment. Leaving out all Of this, we have
the naked fact staring US in the face, that
since the close Of the war, or rather since
1866, the Navy has received from the
Treasury the enormous sum of s258, 529, :
600, being nearly one-ninth of the entire
public debt. During the last six years of
Grantism it has received the sum Of $685.
$4,000, and yet in the face of this enor-
nous expenditure we are told by this same
officer that we have only four men-ofwar
worthy Of the name, the rest being miser-
able hulks which are disgrace to the
nation Is il any wonder that the House
has been compelled to appoint five or six
committees to investigate the rascalitics
which have absorbed this immense amount
Of money?-Port Tobacco Times.

Angora Manufactures in California.

California, in pursuance of character
istc fashion of doing what cannot be done
elsewhere, has not only persisted in keep
ing considerable Aocks of Angora goats,
but multiplies their numbers and utilizes
the fleece. There have been placed in
the Museum of this Department some
specimens of dressed skin with fleece in
tact, of divers colors and great beauty,
such as are used for fancy robes, rugs,
mats, fur gauntets and for other purposes.
These gloves are very strong, durable,
warm, and snowy. The leather is also
used in strings for belt lacing, and appears
from its great strength to be very suitable
for such use. This is the work of the An
CORA Robe and Glove Company, located at
San Jose, and demonstrates the available
ity Of Angora products for successful man.
ufaeturc into articles of comfort and util-
ity. Their gloves, unlike those of buck
skin, are dressed with the grain left on.
Mr. Frank Leayis, the secretary of the
company, is part owner of flock of six
hundred owes which were sheared last
spring. In one county, Monterey, there
are no less than twenty thousand returned
by the assessors, and they constitute por-
ton Of the stock of twenty-eight other
counties.-1griculturat Report.

Hendricks and Morton.

The same correspondent contrasts Hen
bricks and Morton, Indiana's two Presi-
dental candidates. the former Democrat
and the latter Republican leader He
says: .6
"Hendrioks is fair complexioued and
sunny in disposition. Morton is dark and
nervous. Hendricks is cautious and con-
ciliatory, Morton is fierce and aggressive.
Hendricks is cool to his friends, Just to
his enemies and considerate to all men; he
has fire in him but il is rarely kindled.
Morton is partial to his friends, vindictive
to his enemies and fair to no one; his pas
sions are always smouldering and ready to
break forth into fame. Hendricks loves
personal ease and social life and if he
seeks the Presidency il Is not from any
spirit of restless ambition, for he shriuks
from the responsibilities of power rather
than grasps after them, Morton seems u
put his whole comfort in public life; he j,
man now controlled by single instinc
the lust Of power. The conscientious
ness or caution Of Hendricks would keer
him from wrong or usurpation. Morton
would be fearless and unscrupulous. Hen
bricks has straddled nearly every publ,
question. Morton has been on both side.
Of them all. The former Is too slow /.
! making up his mind, aud the latter rusheI

headlong to q conclusion. Hendricks
would make gentlemanly, high minded
President, and his administration would
be pure, honest, moderate and popular; he
Is not essentially great man, but he is
essentially good man. Morton would
make proud and dangerous ruler, and
his administration would be an era of CEN
tralization, fraud and fayoritism in COM
parison to which Grants reign would shine
out like the Golden Age; he is allied with
Pinchback, Clayton, Dorsey, Spencer and
all the political adventures of his party,
aud il Is his nature to maintain around
him such pieto,iaBs scortorunl cohotem;
he is a powerful man, but bad one.
Finally, Hendricks is in the flush and
yigor Of health, and little inclined to hurt
himself with labor. Morton's mind is
dragging around disabled body, and,
with every excuse for inactivity he is
doing more than any two men in the
Senate"

Iced Julepa.


Perley Of the Boston Journal, tells the
following story of an incident which oc.
Cured while the corpse Of distinguished
citizen Of the old Bay State was on its last
journey homeward, quite a number Of
years ago:
There was an. unusually large delega.
ton Of Congressman as an escort, together
with the usual staff of officers and CORES.
pondents. II was a warm, early spring
day, and when the train stopped for a few
moments at Magnolia Station, Just beyond
Baltimore, one Of the House clerks, noted
for his bibulous propensities, was delighted
at finding negro boy on the platform,
with bundle Of fresh mint, which was
Immediately purchased. When the train
started, the owner of the fragrant flavor
ing herb at once began to concoct whiskey
juleps; but, although there was no lack Of
Old Rye, there was no ice--that luxury
not having been introduced into the water
tanks of the cars. All at once M ex-
claimed, | can get some ice in the bag
gage cal" aud went forward, TO return
soon With some large Jumps of the cooling
material. He was greeted with welcom-
ing shout, and.soon the ice was being rat
tied in the glasses from which the juleps
were approvingly drained, until South
Carolina Representative, as if suddenly
struck between the eyes, exclaimed, 81
believe you took this ice from the box uu
der the coffin" There was dead silence;
no more juleps were drank and at Hayre-
de-Grace, NJ quietly left the car.
Had a pledge never to drink any more
whiskey juleps been then and there pre-
scented, it would have received numerous
signatures.

Opium Manufacture.


The manufacture of opium is largely on
the increase in some parts of China. Mr..
Mann, in his last report on the trade of
Newchwang, states that the area of pro-
duction is spreading rapidly, and now in
cludes many districts of Manchooria where
the cultivation Of the poppy was formerly
unknown. The plant is seen growing all
over Shangking, and every town in the
province is supplied from its yield. The
sale Of the drug goes on quite openly
The local authorities instead of enforcing
the prohibitions issued from time to time
by the Pekin Government, levy tax of
eighty taels per pecul on the manufacture
ed article. Its principal consumers are
the poorer classes, who cannot afford SO
expensive luxury as Indian opium.
But the gentry also use good deal of it,
mixed in certain proportion with the
foreign drug. Its consumption is already
interfering with the sale Of the latter. If
this should increase, the result might
prove serious to the Indian Government,
whose revenue comes largely from the ex-
portation of opium to China.
