On the fret of january last, when it
was in order for everybody to wish
everybody else Happy New Year, /"
Mr.. Beecher did what he could to
spoil the day for the Brooklyn Board
of Education and for many teachers in
that city by declaring that some MEM
bers of that board were in the habit of
making " loss of virtue the condition
of giving a teacher a place in the
schools" This frightful charge was
instantly resented, and under the COM
pulsion of certain threatened lawsuits
Mr.. Beecher publicly and with wry
face ate his own words. It is q little
surprising after this to find Mr..
Beecher publicly declaring from his
pulpit, as he declared on Sunday even
ing last, that the President of the
United States habitually consorts with
a New York Commissioner wh0
takes illegal fees and bribes,n and who
ought to be in the State prison."
What has become of Mr.. Beecher
since he made this declaration cannot
be ascertained. He has apparently
gone into " nest - somewhere. But
he must come out of his nest and tell
the public plainly at whom he was
aiming and what his proofs are. He
cannot plead " delirium tremens,"
and nobody dreams that he can plead
a fee to him in hand paid of $3.50 a
line for abusing public characters.
That SOFT of thing is reserved right
of 6 limited number of half-crazy
men, who trade in " lies and delirium
tremens y and eail their rubbish news.

A Tilnid Youag Man.


There is trouble and tribulation in
the Nose Schaumburg family. Young
Levi chwindeImeyer has for some
time been paying attention to Miss
Rebecca Shaumburg who Is consider
ed one of the bellies of Austin. On
the Jewish New Years day, Schwin-
ielmeyer called at the 8haumburg
mansion. While he and Rebecca
were in the parlor, Nose ShaumbuEg
thought he would stroll out in his
garden, and give the young folks a
chance, fer Levi is very excellent
young man, with great deal of mon
ef and "pishness cabacitY.b While
strolling about the premises, what
should Nose see but a boy up in a
tree among his fall peaches. Think
ing to terrify the boy, Nose roared
out:
80, you young schoundrel. Now
sees you NIT mine own eyes. We're
wash mine shotgun ?''
"A wild female shrek was heard
from the parlOr, the shutters were
torn open, and with bound, young
Schwindelmeyer emerged from the
window, and was over a six foot
board fence and out OF sight like
flash. He has not been seen since,
Nose has been hunting him
high and low, to tell him that bis re-
mark about the shotgun was intend

He IS positive judge, and sometimes
an arbitrary one. A distinguished

subject was peremptorily interrupted
by the Judge. Mr.. -, the law is

ready to acknowledge fault when
convinced that one existed.

How an African Explorer Lost His
Rrida

A certain famous African explorer
was once the victim of one of those
extremely distressing bitches which
amount to the complete and final
separation Of those who would other
wise have been united for better, for
worse. He had fallen deeply in love
with young maiden whom he met
in Crete. He afterward declared
that never, before or since, had he
beheld SO sweet and beautiful
creature Having sought out the
American consul, he revealed to him
the state of his heart The consul,
who had himself married
a Greek lady, babe him
not despair, took him forthwith to
the house of his inamorata, and pre-
scented him to her mother, who was
a widow. The negotiations We're
conducted successfully at the end of
a week he was an accepted lover and
in 3 fortnight The day for the we'd
ding had arrived. All this while he
had seen the young lady once a day,
always in the presence of her mother;
and on the day before the intended
marriage he had been permitted for
the first time to take her hand and to
imprint upon it a chaste salute. The
hour appointed for the wedding found
the bridegroom dressed for the cere
mony and awaiting the happy mo-
ment. There enter to him at this
juncture three Greeks, whom he has
never seen before, and al in
terpreter, who introduced them
as brothers of the bride-elec
They produce parchment, which the
interpreter explains. it is deed OF
settlement, which binds the bride
groom to pay SO much a year to the
mother and to each brother, and SO
much to his wife, and to disburse the
first instalments on the spot. In
vain the unlucky traveller explains
that he is worth nothing, and cannot
pay. The brothers look daggers,
the interpreter frowns and the scene
closes with the arrival of the consul,
who with difficulty gets his protege
out of the clutches of his importunate
would-be relations, and ships him eff
to Athens. He never saw his beau
tiful Grecian maiden again.-Cham-
bers' Journal.
