A BeecheriSu,

A correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune abiding to the Rev. Beecher's
defense of the alleged immortality of a
certain politician tells the following as
a warning TO young men:
II once lived In Missouri. There
was negro preacher in our village
who was once brought before bis CON
gregation' charged with being on more
intimate terms with some of the col
ored sisters than was consistent with
his profession. 1t was clear case !;
the proof of bis guilt was positive, so
the Rev. Wesley Jones took high
moral ground in his defense, and said
he did it as a warning to his flock;
to let the sisters know that they
couldn't 'fiirt around dis lamb of God
with impunity,' and he was acquit-
ted"

An old gentleman was walking
somewhat giDgerly along the icy
sidewalk that extends west of the
postofice. There is an excellent
slide at this point, and the cid gentle
man was proceeding with caution
when wild boy came along the slide
with whoop and knocked the UNDER
pinning from below the pedestrian.
They both fell, "Fitz James above
the Geal below" The old man, who
was somewhat heavy, might have hurt
himself were it not for the boy beneath.
AS the upper person slowly rose he
looked at the fattened boy and calm
ly said:
"One of us should apologize, and
as you are rather out of breath l guess

LONDON, June 15.-The .Sondord is not cer-
tain that the Marquis of Salisbury will succeed
in forming cabinet with SD many conSerVa-
tves averse TO accepting office under the existing
circumstances. In an editorial the Standard

of good faith and prudence, follow honestly,
albeit with new spirit. vigor ana precision, the
lines laid down Imply and aimleSsiy by the

teeth of a radical Parnellte confederacy?"
The 1inies says Lord Salisbury has not

be definitely settled until the queens arrival.
The conservatives will require some kind OF
guarantees from their opponents that they
will leave the new government unmolested
until the general election.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR.
SIR: find in your paper of the L tn Instant
the subjoined observations:
"If Mr.. Dana undertakes to write history he
ought to be little more careful i'm his state
ments of facts than he appears to have been i'm
his recent copyrighted article giving reminis-
cences oI Mr.. Lincoln. In referring 10 the death
OF Mr.. Lincoln, and some important incidents
preceding that sad event, Mr. Dana says:
'Mr. stanton, the only member of the administrs-
ton WHO seemed TO ret n lis selfpossessinn and un-
dlmini he'd energy. gave all The order for hours that
seemed necessary TO carry on the government left
him a about O'Clock I'm the morning and went
home TO sleep But AT five O'Clock Col Pelouse knocked
my front door.
"Openng the window asked, What Is itr
"'Mr. Dana said he. Mr.. Lincoln is dead and Mr.
Stanton directs yod 10 arrest Jacob Thompson"
This makes interesting remniscence as
"reminiscences go; but il isn't history. Instead
of dying before five o'clock, Mr.. Dana says,
Dir. Lincoln died at twenty-two minutes past
seyen."
The passage 10 which you object does not con.
tain any statement of mine, except that Col.
Pelouse made the remark i'm question. When
he left the house where Mr.. Lincoln was lying,
the impression on Mr. Stantons mind, and In
his was that Mr. Lincoln was dead, and that
impression prevailed throughout Washington
i'm the early morning, sometime before the death
actually took place. The fact that the illus
trious victim did not actually cease to breathe
until more than two hours later does not affect
the accuracy OF the statement which you crit.
else.
remain, very respectfully, yours,
