Their Tom,n as the members Of his con
gregation lovingly call him. ID o familiar
figure in the streets Of Elmira, where he
has been pastor Of the Park church for
40 years. His congregation IL one Of the
largest and most prosperous In the state.
and he has done . great deal Of useful
work since he has been connected with
it, both In the pulpit and In the various
fields of humane and charitable enter
prise with which he Is connected.
Like most of the Beechers, he Is full Of
eccentricities. but his pleasant, good
hearted manner makes them lovable, and
his people like to talk of them as If they
enhanced his value. He is somewhat of
an expert In the mechanical arts, and
callers often find him, with overalls on,
doing some job of household plumbing
or paper hanging as If his livelihood de-
pended upon 1t. He worked In an optic
al instrument factory in Connecticut
when he was young and seems never to
have lost his taste for tools. He has a
fondness, too, for athletic diversions and
rides q bicycle. rolls tenpins and plays q
good game Of billiards, often taking q
hand with the boys when they are hav-
ing o good time.
In personal appearance Mr.. Beecher is
tall and broad ~shouldered. "A plentiful
brown beard, well tinged with white,
full, genial brown eyes, with a direct,
kindly look. and hair worn long and
brushed back from q broad, intellectual
forehead form q personality TO which q
stranger would give more than q passing
glance. He has never taken enough
time from his pastoral duties to do much
literary work, but he has written one
book-tOur Seven Churches'-and com
tributes occasionally to the local press.
Mrs. Beecher, who takes q deep interest
in his church work and all else that
o her husband, is q granddaugh-
ter Of Noah Webster, the great lexicog-
rapher.

Remnants of Human Skin Played from the
Hacks of TrnnsEressOrs.
There are many traditions handed
down that the doors of certain of our
oldest churches had been covered with
human skin flayed from the bodies Of
transgressors who had been guilty of
the sin of sacrilege. Some years ago
Sir Harry Englefield first called the at
tention of the Society of Antiquaries to
the existence of such tradition re-
garding the churches of Hadstocl> and
Copford, in Essex; and Hon. Rich
ard Neville in his ''Antiqua Explor-
ata,' affirms the record preserved by
popular belief in those parishes
1t appears that a similar tradition
was held in Worcester in relation to
the great north doors of the cathedral
supposed to have been covered with
the skin of a person who had robbed
the high altar.
The skin, on examination by a power
full microscope, proved to be human
skin. Portions of skin obtained from
the church doors at Hadstock and Cop
ford have ALSO, on scientific eSamina-
ton, been shown to have been human
Mention is made by Pepys, in his diary,
of a visit, in 1861, to Rochester cathc-
dral, to see the skins of the Danes, with
which the doors, as it was then he
lieved, were covered. -London An
