A TOUCHING STORY.

y WIFE DYING IN HER SRlDAL koBES.

have read for long while is published
in the Missouri papers. Last August a
young lady named Eliza Eberln was
married, against the wishes Vt her faith

her. Hearing last week that he was a
night operator on the Missouri railroad,
she went to meet him. He learned OF
her coming aud ran off. She returned
10 Sedalia, Missouri, heart broken, and
put up at the Ilgen House, She array
ed herself in her bridal robes, took poi
son, and lay down and died with the
last letter she had received from her
husband elasped in her hand. In a
large blank book was the following sad
aud touching letter directed TO her hus.

''The last act of my life, / say, George

did your heart freeze against me, when
you thought so much of me short time

me George3 You can deny me to the

you see one in distress, think OF Ida ;
when you ever love another, think OF
Ida; and as long as you live, think OF
Ida and when you come to die, then
think of Ida. Never take another girl
from her home and bring her to death.

BEECHER TRIUMPHANT.

Now, after hanging on the ragged
edge" so many years, Henry Ward
Beecher is at peace, having trlumphed
over all his enemies, retained the con-
tidence and love of his family and his
vast congregation, and consigned to
eternal intamy the Bowens, Tiltons,
Moultons and everybody who i'll any
way aided them in the foul conspiracy
which they concocted.
Unqueslionably, now that he has
triumphed, and his enemies have done
their worst, Mr. Beecher is glad, very
glad, that Bowen blabbed. Tilton un-
loaded, and the mutual friend betrayed
him, and SO all the hidden disclosures
of the social tragedy came to light lie
is once more free man, and his tri-
umph, no matter what may have been
his offiense, has been complete and over
whelming. lie has survived all the
terrible attacks made upon him, and
lived TO see every one Of his assailants
dishonored, socially ostracsed in the
city where they all lived, and handed
down to infamy If he was a guilty
man, then an avenging God has per-
milted him victory such as only one
might suppose would crown the most
sanctitied innocence Bowen and his
paper are both virtually ruined. Tilton,
right in the midst Of the business, while
new prosecutions and prosecutions
were being arranged for the
Plymouth preacher, was caught in
his sleeping car escapade and went to
perdition. And Frank Moulton has
come over here TO New York to live,
for it is socially 100 hot for him in
Brooklyn.
Innocent or guilty, could a prosecu-
ted mans triumph be more complete,
and would Providence vouchsate such q
triumph for one who was guilty :!
The sleeping-car adventure" as some
choose TO designate it, revolutionized
sentiment hero at the East among those
who were disposed to lean to Tiltons
side, or to sytnpathize with him, and
had Moulton's action against Mr..
Beecher ever come to trail, Shearman
had prepared batch Of revelations
about this sleeping car business which
would have deprived Tilton of his last
friend and sympsth;zer at the West.
There appears to be prevalent be-
lief in Brooklyn that Theodore Tilton
and his wife will come together again,
Just as General Sickles and his wife
were united after Philip Barton Key
slept in his grave. Titon has declared
time and again that he loved his wife,
and she has as often asserted that he
had an allabsorbing influence over her.
1t is extremely probable that he can
win her back.-M. T. Correspondent

A CHANGE is DrMASDED.-That our
Indian affairs should be restored TO the
War Department is conceded by all
thinking men. And the proposition
introduced in Congress by Mr.. Scales,
of North Carolina, Chairman OF the
House Committee on Indian Affairs,
to transfer the Indian Bureau from the
control of the Interior Department to
the War Department, will receive the
general sanction Of the people II favor
ably acted upon. The "peacc policy"
inaugurated by the Grant administra.
ton can be more effectively carried
out by tho War Department than by q
peace establishment Besides having
the advantage Of aggressive readiness,
the officers of tho army are mainly
honest men. Theability TO fight whom
necessary and the disposition to treat
the Indians with fairness and humani-
ty will go great way to put an end
to Indian wars. Heretofore the pcace
policy has never had the advantage Of
integrity in its general application.

ed In the act OF January IS, 1887, on which
there shall be the devices and superscrpiions
