The following, which VIC clip from
the Detroit Free Press, may be true or
not as to Mr.. Beecher, at whose ex-
pense, nowadays, many loose statements
are made. We give the little article
for its wit:
Mr.. Beecher has taken to beer. He
recently said that after sixty years OF
total abstinence he had learned that O
glass Of lager beer was o good thing ia
take before going to bed. 1t is to be
hoped that temperance people will not
hastily blame the Rev. Henry Ward,
as this sentence brought on him q
speedy and terrible punishment, and
this 10 written in the hope that every
reader who has tears to shed will pre-
pare to shed them now and bestOw all
his 81 mpathy on the unfortunate Brook.
Ign preacher. The above extract
reached the ears OF q Toledo brewing
company, and there was more joy in
that brewery over one clergyman
brought to acknowledge King Gambri-
folks that take their glass of beer every
day. Tho brewery men Immediately
sent keg Of lager to the address of
Mr.. Beecher. No doubt the key has
reached there by this time and has
been taken by tho careful expressman
and deposited ct the pastoral front
door, just as people are going by to
prayer meeting. But the worst comes
after. Just think Of . man doomed to
drink Toledo beer, even y glass OF it,
and then think OF that keg which Mr..
Beecher is in honor bound to consume !!
No doubt Mr.. b. had drank u glass of
tine Detroit lager when he made the
foregoing statement, and never thought
it would bring down on him keg Of
Toledo stuff. It 10 to he hoped some
kind person will send Henry Ward Q
case of Detroit lager wrapped up 30 AS
to look like u package OF books. and
the absorption Of our beer will take
the taste Of that Toledo fluid from Mr..
Beecher's mouth.

A light broke in ve sere gaming
the " sfectious Of the ten great gale.
30 things drIfted for sII veeks. When
dswBei the judgment day. We had
gose to board eth . good. nOtberiy
nonan. Who loved us ss Ger ovu son.
A big Ere in the parior greeted our at
rival, and . supper Ct for the p4rson
himself. After tea our hostess appeared
ID her best black silk. 10 her hand
mighty black rnler, and sat down
before us with the air Of Minerva:
Nov matters have come 10 . point
in your school tou lave been trying
TO govern that crowd of rAscally boys
by love. but that has come to an end
To morrow they II try 10 put you out.
Take this ruler Don't come home to-
morrox night uuiess you have used it
up over the head and shoulders OF
somebody.
There wss no appeal from that. A
greater than the whole class Of " great
gals" had spoken. aud We felt in our
souls that fate was standing at the
schoo.-house door.
We're We endowed with the epic rags
of Homer or Pope. We might posi-
bly, depict the scenes Of the coming
day. How the ugliest losfer, in frock
coat, kicked in the door at recess !;
how, when the trembling young master
asked who did that?' The big boor
lifted his thumb to his nose, and ex.
ecuted that significant gyration with
the little finger which would make Q
savage Of st. John himself how, fred
with the courage of despair, and q
vision OF our house Minerva, We seized
the big oaken ruler, rushed up The in
clined plain, upsetting several small
children on the way, plunged at the
throat of the insolent scoundrel, tore
of the collar of his frock coat, snaked
him down the area before the fireplace,
and beat him over the head and shout,
ders till he rosred for mercy how, at
intervals, he cast y glance at his ac.
completes, and took in the situation !;
how the "ten great gals had spiked
the guns of all but this wretch, who
skunk and begged under our hands
how We wound up with an eloquent
address, and gave the whipped ruffian
his hat, with instructions to 60 home {;
how his sensible father took off what
remained of his 6ilapidated frock coat,
and trounced him till he yelled again
and sent him to school the following
day with q compliment to the plucky
young master ; all this might be sung
in heroic verse.
But. if the truth we're known, it was
not we, but the ten great gals" that
did tho business. They had so do.
moralized the attacking columns by the
magic Of their charms that but one had
the heart. to defy the little master, and
he dared not lift his hand when the day
of battle came. And from thatdsy we
crowned dear old Aunt Anna prophet
ess of love.
Gain the affections of the "ten great
gala in your school-room, land all
things shall work together for good.

Thomas Hill.

Some of the qualities we have learned
to look for in vain in the canvases of
Bierstadt we find represented and en-
phasized in the paintings of Thomas
Hill, who succeeded him as court paint.
er to the monarch Of the Rocky Noun
tains. Hill began life as coach painter
at Taunton, Massachusetts. After de-
Gliding on q professional art career he
visited Europe, and was benefitedIby OBJ
servation in foreign studios, especially
of France, although his style is essen
TALLY his own His method of using
pigments is sometimes open to the &C.
cusation of hardness; there is too often
o lack of juiciness-adry that:seems
to remind us of paint rather than at.
mosphere. But Mr.. Hill is q good
colorist. bold and massive in his effects,
and q very careful. conscientious stu.
dent of nature. He has been happy in
the rendering Of wood interiors, as, for
example, bits from the forest of Fon-
tainebleau. One of his most remarkable
New England landscapes represents the
avalanche in the Notch of the White
Mountains, which was attended with
such disastrous results to the dwellers
in the valley. But Mr.. Hill will he
identified in future with California,
where he has become q resident, and
has devoted his energies to painting
some of the magnificent scenery of that
marvellous region. where the roar of
the whirlwind and the noise of the thun-
der reverberate like the tread of the
countless millions who evermore march
tothe westward. As hesat on the edge of
the precipice, the forerunner of coming
ages, and painted the sublime and soil
tary depths of the Yosemite, did the
artist realize that with every stroke Of
the brush he was aiding the advance
guard of civilization, and driving away
the desolation which gave additional
grandeur to one of the most extraor.ii.
nary spots on the planet? In his great
painting of the Yosemite he seems to
have been inspired by q reverential
spirit; he has taken no liberties with
his subject, but has endeavored with
admirable art to convey q correct i'm.
preston OF the scene. This work may
be justly ranked with the best examples
Of the American school of landscape
painting.-S. G. w. BENJAMIN, in Hdr.

what they said, and hos they looked.
Many OF these "reminiscences are % in
teresting that l should be gls.i write
them out; but / must reserve them for
a more convenient occasion.
The old school southerner naturally
lives in the past, and looks gloomily
on the future. He still believes in
slavery. even il he does not own it;
in the duello. in state rights of the
strictest sort, in orthodox theology, in
the chivalry Of his people, (mesu ing
natives OF the south;) and the infinite
superiority of southern women to the
women Of any other part Of tho world.
He is growing to be rare figure in the
land; but he is represented here, and
his talk has the quaint flavor of Q
bygone era. He is profuse of "Sirs,"
especially OF my dear Sirs;" he in
variably uses Mistress for MRS."
he quotes Horace and Cicero; thinks
turgid rhetoric eloquence; has q deep
vein Of cheap, tawdry sentiment, which
he conceives to be gallantry and
chivalry. and believes that the old Rich
mond Enquirer and Charleston Mercury
we're the ablest and highest toned Jour-
mails yet known to civilization. In the
latter half of the nineteenth century
he is plainly out Of place. He has
lived too long; the age has gone by
him. He has learned little by expert
ence, and forgot everything which did
not reflect his prejudices. He looks az
old as he is, type Of the past. In one
of his forms, he is now leaning against
the wooden column of the broad We
randa, gesticulating nervously to much
younger man, as he explains the doc
