have the desired effect, he returned TO

The correspondent Of the ChieGqO

Of Mrs. Beecher, among other pleasant
things. ''She was after her marriage
what she was before it--a narrow
minded woman, of violent temper and
bitter speech, incapable Of measuring
all her husbands dimensions, and vet
for all that may be the most competent
judge Of his qualities. She is still the
sort Of woman who drives her husband
like a tethered beast, grooming him
with a rancOrOUs jealousy, but cause
lessly stinging him into outbursts Of
rebellion. Another wife might have
saved Beecher from the cloud which
impends over the closing Of his career.
She only intensifes its gloom" Now
there Is not the slightest evidence for
assertions such as these, except mere
idle gossip. Any one who has seen
Mrs. Beecher IN the court room
must acknowledge that her face is
one which commands respect. She
has stood by her husband in his
present difficulty in the noblest way,
and 1t is unmanly and indecent thus to
mahgn her upon no evidence whatever.
If Mr.. BeeCher is found guilty, by all
means let him receive the full share Of
reprObatiOn which he has deserved, but
let US spare a woman of whom all that
we really know is that she is a loyal
and devoted wife at a time when many
wives would desert their husbands,

St. Louis Globe, March 4.


The decease Of the Sacramento Union
is a circumstance worthy of notice to
that large class Of men and brethren of
the journalistic profession who firmly
believe IN the doctrine Of the indestruc-
tibility Of an established newspaper.
Fifteen years ago the Union was not
only a well.established newspaper,
but it was also a source Of we'll
assured fortune to its prOprietors. It's
profits were greater than those Of any
other newspaper on the Pacific slOpe,nOt
excepting the best Of those published
in San Francisco. Since that time
changes amounting to a positive revo-
luton have taken place IN American
journalism. The conductors Of the
Union thought they were strong enough
to defy any change; they kept on the
even tenor OF their way. The result
was that their younger competitors
outgrew them, and now we hear that
they have succumbed entirely. The
lesson should be needed by
newspapers further East than Cali
fOrnia, IN which the idea that proved
the death of the Union is strongly
prevalent. There is no such thing as
standing still in the world Of Journal
ism. Every newspaper In America is
either gaining or losing In popularity
and esteem with every issue it puts
forth. Old age cannot be used as a
plea to save the best Of them. AS
long as a newspaper can renew its
youth every day with fresh vigor, en-
ergy and enterprise, 50 long it viii
grow and prosper, but when it begins
to live upon its past reputation, it be.
gins to cease to live at all.
