A I'm Fact.

When the President was at Weldon
quite a large crowd shook hands with
him. Among them was q countryman,
who, tall and lank, took his stand in front
of the President, and as he shook his
hand said:
"Well, and are you the President!"
Eyes. answered Mr.. Cleveland, l am
the President"
"Well, l have voted for many q Presi.
dent, but l never seen one before" And
as he stood looking at him all over, uI
and down, and from one side to the other,
he exclaimed: "Well. you are a whop.
per, in fact" Whereupon the President
smiled uncomfortably, and Mrs. Cleve'
land, who was neal by, laughed until she
cried.-Raleigh Observer.

THE CASE.

Beecher's Letter 90 be Published
After His Death.
New York is again convulsed ovei
new revelations in the Beecher case.
The story ia that Mrs. Tilton was
about to be confined and was in bed
sick when somebody told her OF her
husbands guilty relations with the
notorious Victoria Woodruff. The
startling news unnerved the sick
woman and her grief became almost
despair. In this dilemma she sent
for Beecher as her pastor and begged
for advice and counsel. Beecher
himself seemed no less indignant
over the revelation of the lustful-
ness of a prominent member OF his
church, and on the spur OF the mo.
ment he said:
iii we're you l would never
bear children to such q man"
Mrs. Tilton showed her profound
confidence in Mr.. Beecher by adopt
ing his suggestion. The night was
passed almost in delirium, and when
the morning dawned the despairing
woman sent for her physician, also
o member of Ply mouth Church, and a
man in whom she had the utmost
confidence. The doctor protested
long and earnestly against her awful
suggestion, but her mind had been
made up, and although she knew
that her life might be the penalty.
she persisted in following Beecher's
advice. The physician yielded to
her plaintive entreaties and before
night a stillborn child came into the
world. Tilton was absent from
Brooklyn but returned before his
wife recovered. In her raving she
gave utteranoe to the pane OF
Beecher. That was a clue and
Tilton wrote the great preacher a
note accusing him of breaking up
a happy homo. Beecher was heart
broken, but he would not betray the
man to whom he had often been under
financial obligations and who was
his near friend. He replied to
Tilton begging forgiveness, but
Tilton only construed tho latter to be
an admission of the witness guilt.
When Beecher was tried before an
ecclesiastical tribunal in Boston he
said that he could not do more than
deny the crime against him as L" there
was a State Prison crime back of it,"
meaning the doctors crime. After
wards in the courts the great
preacher bore all the burden of the
crime laid at his door rather than
divulge the name OF his friend. Mrs.
Tilton seems to have been equally
~reticent. This information is alleged
to be from a posthumous paper left
by Beecher, and also a paper by the
guilty physician. Mr.. Beeeher's
paper was prepared ten years ago
and was to be printed after its
authors death.

In all the changing scenes Of life,
Scenes that 60 widely vary,
I've never spent a happier hour
Than walking home with Mary.
How often as q boy, when life
Was young and glad and hearty,
By starlight | have seen her home
From a singing school or party.
We knew not then how good they were,
The hours we passed together,
As hand in hand with lightsome hearts,
We strolled across the heather.
Though since those days from Mary's side
To distant lanes I've wandered,
The time I've spent away from her
To me seems vainly ~squandered.
Last night once more | saw her home;
The stars were blinking biindly
Through rifted clouds, but into mine
Her eyes were beaming kindly.
We talked of all the happy past,
of pleasures long departed,
And both confessed that oft since then
We had been heavy hearted.
And ere we reached her fathers home
/ told her how I'd missed her,
And while we fingered at the gate
/ stopped and fondly kissed her.
Before we parted twas agreed
Our paths no more should vary;
No more affair from her III roam,
I'm going to marry Mary.

Under our Feet.

A bit of clay taken from the ar
tesian we'll in the court house yard
while it was being dug in 1857 is in
the possession of 1. Stamper of this
city. Specimens of the various
strata passed through by the anger
were kept by several Stocktonians,
but nearly all the collections have
been lost. The present we'll was the
second one started, the first having
been ruined by the malicious act of
an unknown man, who dropped a
piece Of iron into it after it had
reached a depth of 800 feet. In
boring the second we'll the anger
passed through q redwood log at q
depth of ove 600 feet, and at the
1000 feet q layer of sells was found a
short distance further down. The
various strata show that this valley
consists OF debris; that it was once a
salt water lake. and that it was filed
with debris washed down from
the mountains -probably by hy-
draulic miners 1000 years ago.

An Old Genfleman's Recollection

An Old Genfleman's Recollection
of the Days when He Married.
The furniture, in city houses
especially, often costly enough, was
almost without exception dreadful.
The carpets of enormous patterns
and discordant colors and the furni-
lure of excessively vanished rose
wood, or some like material, and
always in SETS" were things to
shudder at. The costumes of the
women were in keeping with the
houses. Not only did the ladies
year long trousers of some white
material that came so low that ii was
impossible for the wearers to walk
without getting them in dust or
mire, but the small girl child vas
rugged out in the same pr%eposterous
garments, it being thought highly
immoral for a tot of six to expose her
ankles.
The ladies' boots, made usually of
cloth, we're heelless, laced at the
side and came not quite to the ankle
bone, while the one. button glove
left the wrist entirely bare. The
nearer the female forehead reached to
the back of the head the lovelier,
many even shaving the central por-
ton to enhance their beauty"
Any hair that was golden or yellow
was thought almost a deformity and
a girl with sunny tresses was looked
upon as hideous, was tainted as a
red-head" and generally used a
lead comb or some wash to make her
golden tresses conform as nearly as
possible to the prevailing standard.
All women plastered their hair in a
hard, fiat mass tight to the skull
with bandoline or some other
m~ucilaginous substance, as low
down as the ears. and then bad it
twisted in stiff. wire-like spirals or
pulled out like blinders.-Boston

A FIKM.
The Fearful Mistake Made by One
of Their Clerks.

MG
of Their Clerks.
A lady entered one Of the promin-
emit drug stores Of Munich, Bavaria,
the other day, desiring . cure for a
cold. The clerk, q mar Of long ex-
perience, reached into n Of the
chests for a popular remedy which
had been widely purchased during
the severe weather Of the past
month, and handed il TO the woman,
who went on her way rejoicing. A
few minutes later he opened the
chest again, and to his horror, found
il allied with O poison which had
been placed there temporarily owing
to the lack of labels. The police
were Immediately notified, but failed
to fnd the lady in question. Criers
we're sent out who ran about the
city proclaiming the incident and
telling all who had purchased the
popyfAr remedy to proceed to the
station to have it examined. Red
placards we're placed upon the bill
boards. Extras were thrown about
the city with sensational headings
-" A Life Endangered" "A Case
OF Poison" and the like, until the
whole town was excited, and the
majority Of the inhabitants seemed
hunting the woman with the
popular remedy" The station
was overcrowded with people and
invilids Of all kinds who had come
to have their medicines examined.
There was moaning and CRASHING Of
teeth and hysterical women declar-
ing despite ruddy cheeks, that they
were at the point of death; others
ready to take farewells to their dear
ones; in all, q scene like a mild
pandemonium, frightening the poor
policemen out of their enses But
though the firm paid over one
thousand marks in advertising, the
investigation proved unavailing.
The unfortunate woman did not
appear.-N. Y. Tribune.
