Henry Ward Beecher's First Drink.

Mr. *. Graham, secretary of Church
of England Temperance Society, who
is about to sail for England, was form
ally taken leave of ut n meeting held
the other night at Brooklyn, upon
which occasion Mr.. Beecher told this
story of his first drink lie said it was
not often the venerable DIR. Schcnck
was mistaken, but he was in that in
stance if he imagined Mr. Beecher was
not very weak. He should like moth
ing better than to have DIR. Schenck for
bishop. He thought the bishop
would have good time. and he was
sure he would. He would be proud to
be under Dir. Schenck, for he greatly
admired him for his sterling qualities
and his social capacity, and for his lib
erality-within the bounds of his own
church. Laughter. Mr. Beecher de
scribed the ministers meetings in his
boyhood. 1t was delightful time. Il
was prospect of turkeys and pud-
dings. 1t was n delicious time when
the ministers met in his fathers house.
There Is no company you can find,
said Mr.. Beecher, like band of good
orthodox clergymen-such as you and
! are, DIR. Schenck-met together to
tell stories of which they are port
folio. Well. when the time came for
the ministers to meet ut my fathers
house, | was sent out for pipes, tobac-
co and rum. My father was a most
temperate man. / never saw him take
drink of ardent spirits but once in
my life, and then he was sick-not af-
ter he drank it, but before. Wine was
very scarce when | was n boy, and
companion and saved enough money
to bpy half a pint Of wine. We got a
couple of eggs and went down 10 the
meadow. We knew eggs and wine
went together, and we ate the egg first
and then drank the wine 1t tasted SO
bad to me l thought the man had
made mistake and given me physic.
So you see i'll my natural state, when
my palate had tasted wine, took it to
be just what it is-medicine. Mr..
Beecher spoke of the early beginnings
of temperance, and showed that there
was universal craving for intoxicants.
The effort to abolish the use Of them
had to be renewed in every age and
among all people.

judgment have ever guided its pages

Alta banquet given him at Edinburgh,
in 1867, he thus speaks of her, while re-
turning thanks for her health being
proposed: 81 do owe to that lady all /

has supported me by her counsel and

1868, she was created Viscountess Bea-
consfeld, he declining at that time the
rank he accepted for his wife. She
died in 1872.

ARRIVAL OF ALIVE DUKE.
Likewise a Marquis and the Celeb.

Yesterday the steamship Gallia ar
rived, and among its prominent passen-
gers were the Duke OF Southerland

bull Run" Russell, .. l. Stephen. ].
I. Benkenstreth. George Crosfeld, G.
T. Neele and w. Wright. A Star re-
porter was on hand when the ship ar
rived, and watched the passengers very
closely for the purpose of catching the
Duke and talking him to weak before
he should fall into the clutches of anv
other newspaper man. He naturally
supposed that the Duke would come
ashore with u crown on his head and
arrayed in his royal robes of office. and
when all the passengers had filed past
HIM, except one small gray whislered
gentleman, the reporter took him to
| one side and asked him about it. This
little man had a merry twinkle in his
eye, and as he put his valiSe down and
wiped the dust off his face, he smiled.
whats the joker" asked the re.
porter.
I'm the Duke" replied the small
gentlemen, laughing outright, and seiz-
ing the reporter by the hand.
The latter would have thought this
piece of nonsense but for the conduct
of the other passengers who returned,
and, addressing the Duke respectfully,
asked him whether he was going up to
the hotel, or meant to stand in the
wharf all day. He bade them proceed.
and promised to follow. On his way To
the Brevoort House, the Duke explain
ed that the object of his visit was Ia iu
spect the railway system of the United
States and Canadas, and to look into
business matters generally. He is the
Nlce-President of the London and
Northwestern Railroad, and feels 4
deep interest i'll all matters affecting
transportation by rail- He came thus
unannounced because he is averse TO
public receptions, and will endeavor.
while here, to conduct his business
quietly and unobtrusively. His party.
he said, would remain Ill the city until
Friday, and would then go South, af-
terward to Chicago, and finally To Can
ada. From the latter point they would
return to England
The prominent members of the
Dukes retinue are the Marquis of Staf-
ford and DIR. Russell. The former is
his youngest son and the latter his sec
retary. Dr. Russell is very dignifed
gentleman, and during the day was fire.
quently mistaken for the Duke himself.
He has fiery eye and bold, command
ing presence; and when he laughs it is
difficult to tell whether he is pleased or
angry. During the Rebellion he was
the London Times correspondent, and
wrote up description of the battle of
Bull Run, which was not very compli-
mentary to the Union forces. He has
travelled very extensively, and is Il great
admlrer of the American newspaper
man.
After dinner the party took stroll
out, and did not return to the hotel I'M
til a late hour. As far as they've got,
their verdict is that New York is "a
very nice place"

The first murder ever committed in the
old town of Marblehead, Mass, was dis
covered the other day. The victim is f.

reputation, who was found face downward
