Lead Poison.

A prominent dealer in confectionery
has recently been prosecuted in Boston
for selling candy colored with chromate
of lead. The jury brought in verdict
of guilty. But exception was taken to
the verdict on the ground that candy is
not food" AS If one might legally
and safely administer poison to the COM
munity, provided he did it with sugar
plums, rather than with sugar! The
exception, doubtless, will be over
ruled.
A main point in the defense was that
the amount of poison taken at any one
time into the system with the CANDY was
not sufficient to do harm. But the one
important and terrible fact in all lead
poisons, is that they are what is called
cumulative" Large doses of many
other poisons may produce very dis
astrous effects at the time, and yet bt
soon eliminated from the system. Bu
lead is not eliminated. Its small dose
remain in the system, where they con
stantly accumulate, to work the wors
mischief in time. This is what render
the painters business so dangerous. TIL,
workmen in white lead factory seldom
remain more than five years, and whel
they leave, they look like walkin,
corpses.
Let it never be forgotten that some O
the slowest poisons are the surest. An
let parents, especially, know what thei
children eat.

About BeacOnsfield.

1t is said of the present Prime Minis
ter of England that he has obtained and
held all through his career the respect
of his social equals. He has never been
wealthy, yet not a whisper has been
breathed by the voice of calumny against
his scrupulous integrity. On the one
occasion when he was accused of a job
he strangled the slander almost with
out an effort. Moreover, in society his
genuine refinement, his extraordinary
tact, his brilliance of repartee, and his
inexhaustible powers of conversation,
have made their mark. He is the friend
of his sovereign, because, having the
soul of gentleman, he conducts him.
self toward her with the reverence be-
fitting her ladyhood. The merit, per-
haps, is small, except from contrast, but
it is highly valued by the august per.
sonage who during her reign has more
than once had occasion to complain OF
the scant courtesy exhibited by her ad
visers. Lord Beaconstield, in fact, was
born courtier, albeit he has never in
one iota touched the role of the syco
phant. The monde has sought him, not
he the monde, and is it not little re
markable that while the late Lady Bea
confield's salons were most exclusive, he
husband, now at the apex of his ambi
tion, has, with inimitable grace, assigne,
to himself the task of fascinating all
irrespective of political color, wit
whom he is brought in contact?

AMERICAN PRIVATEERS.

The English newspapers still seriously
discuss the dangers to British commerce
from privateers fitted out in the ports
of the United States. The Globe of a
late date says editorially: Our Cron-
stadt correspondent. writes that the
scheme of fitting out privateers in
America is making rapid progress. A
large number of seamen belonging to the
Baltic feet are under orders and in
readiness to proceed to the United
States at moments notice. 1t is
rumored that the Grand Duke Alexis
will be appointed Admiral of the priva-
teer squadron, and that during his visit
to New York the project was thoroughly
canvassed in the event of war with Eng
land. Our correspondent further states
that he has confdentially seen the Of
fetal list of the officers designated by
the Grand Duke Constantine to proceed
to America to purchase, equip and COM
mand the steamers that are to prey upon
the commerce of Great Britain.
The enterprise will be carried out
with great caution. 1t is asserted
among Russian officers that the first in
timation England will receive of tht
proceedings of the Russian Admiralty
will be when the officers who have al
ready left Cronstadt organize in Ameri
can ports crews of Finnish sailors sum
moned under the stress of conscriptiol
from the decks of English vessels lyin,
there. The idea of forming powerful
feet in America is very peculia
throughout Russia, because tits though
that severe blow can be given to Eng
lish commerce at it's very center
namely, its carrying trade from tn
United States. The scheme causes il
tense delight among all the Baltic ses
men; it is asserted in other quarter
though the rumor has not yet got int
print, that owners of large numbers {
steamers in several countries of Europ
are making arrangements to send a

A Confession by Mrs. Elizabeth TiltOn
The Beecher Case.

The following letter from Mrs. Tilton ap-
pears in the New York morning papers:
"Mr. Ira B. Wheeler: My Dear Sir-A
few weeks since, after long months of men
tai anguish, told, as you know, few
friends, whom had bitterly deceived, that
the charge brought by my husband of
adultery between myself and the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher was true, and that the
lie had lived so well the last four years had
become intolerable to me. That statement
I now solmenly reaffirm, and leave the
truth with God, to whom also I commit my
self, my children, and all who must suffer.
l know full well the explanations that will
be sought by many for this acknowledge
ment-a desire to return to my husband, in
sanity, malice, and everything save the true
and only one, my quickened conscience and
sense of what is due to the cause of truth
AID justice. During all the complications
of these years, you have been my confden.
tial friend, and therefore address this let.
ter to you, authorizing and requesting you
to secure its publication.

"BRooKLYN, April 13, 1872

THE POPE'S SUMNER RESIDENCE.
The Emperor of Austria has placed
Miramar at the disposal of Pope Leo
XIII during the summer heats. 1t is
castellated villa, about three miles from
Trieste, and is built on the extreme
verge of cliff, rising sheer to a consid-
cradle height above the sea. The Lon
don Echo describes it as having the de-
cided advantage in picturesque beauty
over the old Papal retreat at Castle
Gandolfo. From the top of the square
turret the eye takes in the whole pano-
rama of the Gulf of Trieste. In the
background rise the curious peaks of
the Dolomite Cham, and on the right
the imposing masses of the Friuli Alps,
while at their base, dotting the coast
line as it travels away to the misty
lagoons of Venice in the far horizon, are
numerous towns and hamlets that have
played their parts in bygone days. The
most celebrated is Aquileia, the seat of
numerous Ecclesiastical Councils; the
scene of Ceur de Icons shipwreck on
his return from Palestine, and whose
fugitive citizens, after Attila's desolat-
ing visitation, founded Venice. Bright
and peaceful as the villa looks under its
Italian sky and in its fower-perfumed
atmosphere, sad memories haunt its
hearths and gables. The rooms are full
of associations and mementoes of the
once happy couple that tenanted them
before they forsook their Eden with the
vain hope of reviving the Empire of the
Montezumas. AS the mind of the Wis
itor wanders away to the past, the scent
of the citron seems to change to sui
phurous Whit of that tragic valley at
Queretaro, and the cry of the sea-birds
to the wailings of that poor, lonely, mad
and widowed Princess in her seclusion
at Lacken. Miramar, with its sad tradi-
tions, will scarcely form cheerful sum.
mer retreat for contemplative Pope,
but Leo XIII is said to have taken the
Emperor's offer inte consideration.

Tweed Preparing for Death.

The bed in which Tweed died was of
rich mahogany, furnished with spring
mattresses. Alongside of it was an in
valid's cane-bottomed chair. A small
marble-top table was used for his medi-
cines and tea. There were two very large
bureaus, the property of Mr.. Tweed,
and very handsome bookcase filled
with law books. There was also large
Bible and three prayer-books. The
Matron of the Jail said that Tweed, no
matter how busy he was, never omitted
to read his books of devotion half an
hour every day. Tweed's favorite color
was blue, and even the waste-paper
basket was trimmed with blue silk rib
bon. Several religious notices were
placed on the walls by Tweed himself.
Those over his bed were, in the center,
"Watch and Pray" to the right, "To
the one l dearly love-" and to the left,
"Let not your heart be troubled" In
other parts of the room were such lines
as Nearer, my God, to thee" and 81
hope in the Lord" all worked in
"Tweed," said Mr.. Foster Convey, his
secretary, "courted death. He has
told me as many as five hundred times
since his return from Spain that ht
wanted too die. He expected it-ht
longed for it. This fact has had NOR,
influence in ending his life than any
other thing. He wanted to die. H,
was ready, and had no regrets. 1

that John Wesley and other famous
Christians died fearlessly. William

respected. She is about fifty years old.
Stroud is not far from sixty. She was his
second wife, and be her second husband.
They came from the East few years ago.
MENTION is made of the suicide of Angus
tus Aull in Cincinnati. Another chapter,
even more painful than the first, has now to
be added. Aull had been lately married, and
was living with his wife, at No. 255 Clinton
Street. Both were well connected, and to
all appearances had bright future before
them. Early Monday morning Aull, while
still in bed, with his young wife lying beside
him, placed the muzz of loaded pistol
over his heart and pulled the trigger. In half
an hour he was dead. The terrible sudden.
ness and awfulness of the occurrence threw
tae wife into paroxysm of fright and grief,
from which it was impossible for her to re-
cover. She was too much prostrated to
give any testimony before the Coroner, and
that evening died. A sadder fate is not often
chronicled than that which in one day over
took this young couple.

FOREIGN SUMMARY,

GREAT strikes have taken place among
the cotton operatives in England, in which
one hundred and thirty thousand persons
are engaged.
A DISPATCH dated at Constantinople,
Saturday, says Layard has taken steps to
put English subjects under the protection
of the American Minister. The latter has
asked the consent of his Government.
A ST. PETERSBURG correspondent throws
the responsibility of the alleged failure of
the German mediation on England, in hav-
ing rejected the proposal that the Congress
should be summoned to revise the treaties
of 1856 and 1876, and again insisted on her
original condition. However this may be,
it is certain new difficulties have arisen.
THE Agence RuSse mentions the news
that Germany has proposed withdrawal
of. Russian Troops and the British feet
from Constantinople. Without confirming
or contradicting this news, it says if cor
rect it shows that an important phase of the
negotiations has now been reached, under
Germany's powerful influence at Vienna.

sent from Thrace and Bulgaria. LII Epirus
it completely hangs fire, and can only be re-
vived by considerable efforts of Greek
sympathizers. The Cretans are still able to
hold their own, but it is feared that Turkish
re-enforcements will be sent to the island.
The Greeks are much discouraged. They
believe Russia is intriguing against them.
IT is stated Count Zichy, Austrian Embas-
sador, has renewed proposals for the
eventual occupation of Bosnia and Herze-
govina by Austria, pointing out that unless
the Porte agrees to this measure it will be
impossible to bring about a return of
Bosnian refugees to their homes, or re-
establish the security of the frontier. Rus
STA is in accord with Austria in this matter,
and would consent to modify the requisite
portion @of the San Stefano treaty, if the
Porte should consent to Count Zichy's pro-
posal. 1t is untrue that Count Zichy has
a;so asked to occupy the Salonica Railway.

The National Association of Cigar
Manufacturers met in consultation with
the local manufacturers, in New York
City, TO protest against the order re-
Gently issued by the Secretary of the
Treasury, which forbids any person to
make cigars in the same room in which
he sells them. The ostensible object of
this is to prevent frauds on the revenue.
Z. A. Smith, President of the National
Association, reported that the Committee
Of Ways and Means have determined to
adopt different method, and one which
they think will prevent all frauds in
the collection of internal revenue on
cigars. The contemplated change is to
stamp each cigar; the stamp on each
one Of the cigars contained in any one
box to bear the same number as the
number Of the stamp on the box.
