Although the clouds looked storm threat
ening yesterday morning and during the
forenoon the air was such as would not
boom the fan and sunshads trade, yet the
desire to go out and feast the eye upon the
beauties of nature in her most enchanting
habiliments, seconded by laudabls curl
osity to again look upon, and if possible
listen to the thrilling sloquencs and words
of wisdom of the world noted pastor of
Plymouth church of Brooklyn, drew a
large number of people from st.
Paul and Minneapolis and from the
towns, villas and suburban retreats there
abouts, to Minnetonka's North Star States
Congress hal, the Hotel Lafayette, mounted
on kohinoor islet, centsring a crown of
fresh water lakes-the Killarnsys of the
western hemisphere.
| Henry Ward Beecher arrived in st. Paul
on an early morning train from the east,

Mr.. Beecher made no public appearance
until about noon, himself and party having
been much wearied by their trip from Chi
cago, when he came down into the rotunda
and engaged in conversation with number
of old Minnesota acquaintaRces. On his
appearance, from all quarters came the
request that he might favor those assem-
bled with one of his far-famed Sabbath
parlor sermons, but it was soon made evil
dent that he did not intend to do so, be-
cause Of the necessity at the outset of an
extended lecturing tour, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast and return to the gulf,
that he should husband his strength for
this arduous task undertaken at the age of
seventy years.
This tour, commencing with st. Paul
this evening and Minneapolis the follow
ing night, involves his lecturing nearly
every weekday night from this locality
northwestward to st. Cloud, Aorehead,
jamestown, Bozeman, etc.; thence from
Montana over the Northern Pacific to
Portland, speaking at prominent points on
the route; thence southwark to Californis
and the prominent cities ald towns in that
state, taking in Texas on the route east
ward, and closing his fall engagements at
New Orleans, Oct. Is.
Mr.. Beecher does not seem to have aged
with the piling up of years with anything
like the swiftness appertaining to most
men and women as their footsteps pass the
boundaries of the 'sere and yellow leaf"
Passing by somewhat sharper, thinner
face, tinge of gray and thinner scalp
lock, the color OF life-blood still paints his
cheeks, while there is no noticeable change
Ill embonpoint as compared with his meri-
dian days.
1t must be with him that he has that
evenly balanced mind which rises superior
to the ills of life that do beset US round
about, and is waiting Gods time for vind1-
cation and liberty therefrom, instead of
restlessly pacing up and down the cage,
and consuming his vital forces and strength
by struggling against the inevitable. This
is the elixir of life which seems to give the
old fire to his eye, the genial humor to his
conversation, activity and strength to his
limbs, organs and faculties, and keeps
bright and glowing ''the flash of wit, the
bright intelligence, the enduring substance
of immortal mind"

break over his resolution and make few
remarks to those, especially, who through
some misunderstanding had put in an ap
pearance under the supposition that they
were to listen to an exposition of the gospel
from his lips, he replied with an old-time
smile lighting up his countenance, 81 am
sorry they have been thus misinformed,
for l have left all my sermons at home in
Brooklyn" While in conversation with
his friends rather garrulous man came
up to him and said, 81 heered ye, Mr..
l Beecher, the furst time in Brooklin, the sec
ond time in Chicagger and I'd like to hear
ye agin." Said AR. Beecher, "My friend.
you have told me that three times within
the last half hour and now fully under
stand and appreciate it,"

AS the new conner approaches the Hote!
Lafayette his attention becomes riveted to
the oddity welded to elegance as dis
played in that structure, and upconsei-
ously almost he finds his eyes wandering
back to it, as observable from different
points, On both the land and water, and he
seems never to be quite satisfied that he
