BEEoHERs LATEST AND BEST.

Mr.. JoY-SIR: You said at your
own table, before me, that Mr..
Blaine offered to form the commit
tee as you desired it, provided you
would take certain bonds of him at
par. You did lean back in your
chair, put your thumbs into your
vest shoulders and add with con-
tempt, "that's the man Blaine is. r"
l did not violate the laws of hospi-
tality in using the incident. l new
er spoke Of it publicly until your
injudicious friend, Gov. Alger, made
a garbled statement, which under
your denial made me a false wit
ness. Then | was justified in self
defense. A member of Plymouth
Church, who is ashamed of his own
name, explains, in close connection
with your letter of this morning,
that Beecher is known to be very
forgetful. Yes, ten thousand things
| forget and ten thousand things I
remember [ do both thoroughly,
and your statement was burned in
to my memory as with. fire, and
your falsehoOd. will, l fear, be burn
ed into your memory as with fire.
Such effrontery is marvellous, even
in this political campaign. Do you
dare look ex-Gov. Baldwin, of Mich
igan, in the face, who sat next to
me at your table, and deny that you
made such statements {? What will
he think of you? Do you dare say
that you never made a like state
ment of Blaine's conduct in the
transaction alluded to? Mr.. E.
Smith, president of the Oregon and
Trans Continental company, Chas.
James and Kneeland,. of the New
York Elevated railroad company,
say that Mr., Smith stated to them
that Joy had made to him a like
statement. Will Mr.. Smith public
ly deny it? Will you deny to Jno.
Harmon, of Detroit, who was your
attorney and was conversant with
the whole matter, at the time of its
happening, the correctness of my
statement Allow me to ask, by
way of refreshing your memory,
whether the amount which Blaine
required was not nearer $4,000
than $4,000? Whether the inter
mediary between Blaine and yours
self was not Subsidy Pomeroy,"
and. whether proper and honest in
dignatien on that occasion was mot
so extensive that you would have
sworn outright had it not been, ]
luckily, that you were a church
member Mr.. Joy, you have told
this story too many times and to too
many people to have made it pru-
dent to deny it now. The advant.i
age which is expected from your de.
nial can last but day or two, but
a lie will endure forever. 1t will
abide with you, follow you home,
dwell in your memory be present.
in your old age, stand by your cof
fin and meet you in Gods judgment
day. May He who found way to
forgive lying Peter, forgive you and
have mercy on your soul in that aws
full day. HENRY WARD BEEcHER.

There arc 10000 acres of 60,

There are 10000 acres Of good
land in the county OF Essex, Eng
land which are tenantless. The
reason Is said to be that English
farmers are being educated above
their business, and desert the farm
for the city. As remedy for this
Lady ICatharine Glaskell proposes
that farmers and their wives and
children be no longer educated, but
allowed to grow up entirely, litter
ate and uncultivated. She also says
that they should not be allowed to
wear decent clothing, and that they
should be made to rise at 3 o'clock
in the morning and spend all, the
day among the cattle in the fields.
Lady Glaskell would make a pictur-
esque reformer.

BEHEADED IN JAPAN.

He said the Prime Minister of ia
pan had been too intimate with his
wife. This was no doubt true, for
as soon as the Colonel had gone the
Countess became the mistress OF the
Prime Minister, one of the wealth
lest and most influential men in Ja-
pan. Here the Countess had every
luxury but liberty. The Prime Min
lister was so jealous of her that he
would not let her talk with any
gentleman. Such a life did not suit
the Countess, so one day she ran
away and became the mistress of
another japanese official. The affair
so exasperated the Prime Minister
that be went to the Mikado and PIE
vailed upon him to issue an especial
edict condcmning the Countess to
be decapitated Her fourth husband,
so called, was imprisoned. The news
has now come to Now York that the
edict was carried out, and the most
beautiful Georgia refugee who daz-
zled New York and the lovely
Countess who bewildered Paris was
actually decapitated. In Japan no.
bles Of high rank consider it a
heinous offense for a woman who
has smiled upon them to ever after
ward smile upon another. The
strange custom cost Countess Pour
tales her life.

she gave Verdalle a gold medallion
locket, valued at about 50Of, with
the understanding that he was to
raise q loan on it with which to re-
deem her diamond crescent, and
that this he also failed to do. Sub
sequently she discovered that val
liable oil painting which she had in
trusted to Verdalle's care had been
disposed OF, without her knowledge
or consent, to a furniture dealer.
She also asserts that she is in a po-
sitien to prove that Yerdalle is not
member of the Stock Exchange
nor in any way connected with the
cable company.
Owing to the. e.secrecy with which
the hearing was conducted, it was
impossible to ascertain what expla-
nation was given by the prisoner.
The examination was not concluded,
however, but was adjourned until
Tuesday. Yerdalle was held in de-
fault of $500 bail. His wife was
present in court and wept as he was
led away to a cell in the prison.

AeHGIE VERDALLE'S EXPLOIT.
A Handsome French WOman's
a Experience in New York.

From the New York Herald.
| A tall, handsome young French
woman, attired in an elegant fur
4 trimmed costume, who said her
name was Marie Besse, was a com
| fplainant in the Jefferson Market
Court yesterday. Achille Verdalle,
who said he was dealer in brio
a-brac and resided at No. 10 Lex
ington avenue, was the prisoner in
the case. The charge on which
Verdalle was arraigned was that by
false representations he had obtain
ed from Nine. Besse money and
jewelry worth a considerable sum.
Verdalle, who was represented by
]. ID. Lewis, of the firm of Coudert
Brothers, demanded a secret exami-
nation, which was his right under
the Code. There was no opposition
made to the request by Lawyer
John ID. Townsend, whe appeared
in behalf of the complainant. The
examination was conducted in Jus.
tice OReilly's Office, and lasted full
ly an houre Every. effort was made
by the lawyers on. both sides to keep
the facts from the public. -f.t @
Notwithstanding this secrecy, the
affidavit of Nine. Besse, on which
the charge against Verdalle was
based was obtained. In it she stat
ed that her husband is at present
living in Paris. She left her home
for this city on August last, arriv-
ing here ten days later on the
steamer L'Amerique. For the first
three weeks she occupied apart
ments at the Hotel Martin, corner
of Ninth street and University place
From there she moved to No. 39
West Twenty seventh street, where
she is now living. Soon after her
arrival in this city she became ao-
quainted with Verdalle.
MAKING A DISTINGUISHED ACoUAINT-
ANCE. t'
Nine. Besse was unable to say
where the first meeting took place,
but thought it was either at Roster
& Balls or the Eden Musee. She
was introduced to Verdalle by an
attache of the Russian Consul's of
fee, who appeared to be intimately
acquainted with him. Eerdalle, she
says, represented himself to be quite
wealthy, and told her that he was a
prominent member of the Stock Ex-
change and was also connected with
cable company. VerdalIe, she
further said, told her that he could
invest her money if she desired to
do so to good advantage. Believing
his representations TO be true, on or
about September 5, when she met
Verdalle by appointment at Solari's
restaurant in University place, she
gave him $500 francs to invest for
her.
He saw her again a day or two
later and told her that the success
of the venture depended solely on
the raising by her of some more
money. On September 10 she al
leges that she intrusted to Verdalle
her diamond crescent, valued at 10,-
O0Of, to pledge for her and to re-
turn her the proceeds. She claims
that he failed to return the money
realized on the jewel and declined
to tell her how the money had been
invested. 'lif.'-ta'e
