Mr.. Beeoher," said the reporter,
you have read the account Of the
killing Of a burglar by Captain Rich
ards, of the Seventh Regiment. What
do you think of it?n
Entirely justiiable p answered
Mr.. Beecher, with emphasis.
Suppose you found a burglar in
your house at night what would you
do2"
Shoot him quick as lightninglp
exclaimed the clergyman, almost
iercely. ANY man who, from mo.
tives of personal safety, allows a burg
lar to walk through his house with
impunity not only acts in . eeyardly
manner, but violates one of the most
sacred duties he owes to the commu-
nifty. Every mans house is his castle.
not only to live in, but to defend. |
regard him who fails to defend it in
the same light as / would a soldier
who, being intrusted with the defense
of a fort, allows the enemy unresisted
to enter and take possession of it. To
permit a burglar to ransack a house is
an injustice to the community, be-
cause it holds out a temptation to
shlttless young men to commit burg
laries. Experienced cracksmen OF
course will run risks where there
Is a big prize to be won, but
ordinary robberies are committed
by less fearless men, who would
not attempt them if they knew they
would incur the danger Of being killed
in the act. Now what could sburglar
get by coming into my house? The
things he could gather up and carry
Oft are such as he could not sell for
more than twenty dollars. and do YOU
think he would risk his life for that?
No, indeed But, he argues Beech
or IS a clergyman he would rather
lose twenty watches than take a mans
life Not a bit of it. / wouldn't let
him take even the pointer of a watch.
And not from a mere property eonsid-
Grafton either, but because it is nv
duty to defend the sanctity of nv
household. My house, where my wife
and children live, shall not be entered
violently by any man except at his
peril. And so | have taught my wife
and all my children to shoot, and any
burglar who enters my house may ex-
pect TO be killed"
The reporter then called Nh. Beech
ers attention to the fact that a reli-
gious paper published in this city
recently offered as prizes for increasing
its subscription lists three sizes Of
reyo,gers, with a prospectus remark
tina a revolver in the house at mid
night is sometimes more useful than a
book.
II think it a very good idea and
quite right" said Mr.. Beecher.

ReeOIIectiOns Of the War.

Washington Cor. Boston Herald.l
General Cerro Gordo" Williams.
Of Kentucky, who is to succeed Nc
Creery in the senate, has been in
Washington for the past few weeks.
He and his family will be a delightful
acquisition to our social life next VIM
ter. His wife was a widow when she
married General Williams. and her
daughter, Miss Ida Hamilton, is a
young lady Of superior attractions.
Postmaster General Key, who delights
in references to the days when he was
a rebel, tells how, when as lieutenant
colonel Of a Tennessee regiment. he
invaded Kentucky With Bragg. he was
presented with a Confederate flag by
Mrs. Williams, then the charming
Widow Hamilton. That was at
Mount Sterling, KY, which is still the
home of the lady and her family. She
made a speech, to which the rebel

ately. The t1agwas carried through the
war, with difficulty saved from can

enjoys telling how he was captured by
Grant at Vicksbug. He was shot once.
and he comments on the change
wrought by the whirligig of time.
since he, who was then fighting against
this government, now has charge of all
its mail matter, and sits in the council

Mrs. Hudson appeared quite pleased.
But as the daughter was telling me

Suggestions as to How the Zulu War
Should be Carried on.

Address to the Editor Of the Daily Telegraph.
1t is not necessary to be Outwitted
by the Zulus. People hat go to wal
should Immediately rub up their wits.
If they have to encounter sayages, SUI
perior in numbers and knowledge OF
the ground, and armed no longer with
stone arrows and bone spears, but
guns and rifles, the very first question
they should ask themselves is this A.;
Does all our superior science furnish
us with no engine Of war to turn the
scale Now we do possess an engine
of modern warfare that ought
to have been in that unlucky
camp, since no German nor French
army would have invaded even
a strange and wooded country
without it. l mean a balloon a Ia
cOrde. A very small one would have
raised a mar 1000 feet, and shown him
in a moment the shallow secrets of
Zulu strategy. Lateral ambuscades,
though in jungle, are no ambuscades
to a scout looking down vertically with
a powerful binocular, and sweeping
thirty miles at a glance.
The nation therefore will feel
obliged to the war Office fit will send
out, not a great many more soldiers to
be knocked on the head, but a few
more soldiers, more ammunition, more
balloons, more %gasOmeters, more bin
oculars and-mOre brains.
Paris, for her amusement, raised
% people in a balloon 2400 feet several
times every day. Can not England
raise one drummer boy, or one gallant
little Oficer-"Ingentes animes angus

tect her chivalry from silly slaughter ?
No doubt it is much harder to gene
rate gas in a camp than in a city but
it has been done in camp, and there
fore can be done again, and ought to
be done, though a jury of inventors
should have to be convoked.
When civilized nations meet in bat
tie glory may be gained though life is
lost; but those who send our heroes
to fight with savages should attack
defensiyely, and cudgel their brains a
bit, grudging so base an enemy the life
a single British soldier, and the
tears Of those who mourn him. | am,

4 Teacher Surprises the Dis
trict.

Allentown Pa.) Chronicle
Smith his name is, and he teaches
school near Bogert's, along the Little
Lehigh, in Salisbury township. Smith
may be a good teacher for all we know.
but it appears to us, as it does to
some Of the parents who send children
to his school, that his sense of humor
is altogether too strongly developed.
Smith had evidently read of the ex-
ploits of Nero, who is alleged to have
+iddled and been in high glee while
Rome was burning. Smith was emu
lous Of Nero, and yesterday morning
he determined to Guido the old Ro-
man emperor, emitting, however, the
TIRE scene. Yesterday was FFastnacht,
and after Smiths scholars we're all in
the seh0ol-room ready to begin their
studies, the funny Smith took a lad
der, and, placing it at the side Of the
school house, climbed to the roof.
Then he placed 0 board over the
chimney and sat himself thereon.
Next he produced a violin and began
to fiddle as if the salvation of the
country depended upon the vigorous
playing of that instrument. Not con-
tent with this he dismissed the school
for the day, much TO the ediication of
the children, but hardly to the de-
light Of the parents. The question
that at present is uppermost in the
minds Of many Salisburgers is, what
was the matter with Smith yester-
day2'

that numbering his enemies would be

Connecticut is taking the lead in

methods Of taxation. The legislature
has passed a bill taxing property OF
educational, religious and benevolent
organizations which is not used forthe
purpose Of such organizations. All
property Of such bodies has heretofore
been exempt. If such a law could be
universally applicable, millions Of
dollars would be added TO the public
