Whatsoever may be the outcome of this gT'At trial, Tilton is a ruined man. publisher would caie to employ him as the editor of a political or religious journal. The atmosphere of the Brook lyn City Court will cling about him for ever. His notoriety has swamped his fame, and the paths to honorable dis tinction are closed and barred against him. Even though the pastor of Plymouth Church steps down and out, and the world turas from him as from a guiltv creature, there is no salvation for Thetxloro Tilton. llis home-life is hence forth a dreary blank. His voice raised in behalf of any pending public question would be an "empty sound falling on vexed, unwilling ears. j Tilton's Evidence. The New York Star says Beechr will be the gainer by Tilton's evidence.. Til ton has made scores of confidanis and has made several statements, on of winch he calls a "true story," and one is dignified as a "sworn statement." It will bo difficult for him to stand by al Besides, Mr. Beecher wanted him sworn. When he heard his counsel intended te oppose the reception of testimony, he said, " Nonsense ; I want Tilton, Mrs. Tilton, Tom, Dick, and Harry, and every body to be sworn, and to tell all they know, or think they know, and bo done with it." The Star wants Mrs. Beecher sworn, too. Let her tell her version of Moulton, of Tilton, of Elizabeth, of Laura, of Victoria, of Sarah Jane and Miranda. If she were to swear that her husband's confidence had been hers from the first, and could prove by facta how much better she judged men than did or could her lord and master, we imagine the fur would fly with agility and em pliasis beyond any flight wo have seen. Testis and MsrrlAs. (Cor. Chicago Times, Tilton's letter speculating about whether the Redeemer ought to have married, created a profound sensation, though it had been already published, and probably had been read by every one in the court except the jurors. As to the jury, they appeared bewildered, and some of them fixed their eyes on the witness for some minutes for some minutes. The letter was dated Oshkosh, Wis., Feb. 14, 1867, and commences, " My dear orthodox wife." He wonders if she will be shocked at one of his meditations on the career of Jesus, namely: How He would appear in the character of a married man. If investi gation proved that He was married, it would add new glory to his character. The probability is he never was, and even Benan affirms it. Yet it is by no means certain. He admits that if Jesus were married, the world would never re ceive Him as, the only begotten Son f God. But then, he asks, would Mrs. Tilton love Him any less f Tlie Work of the (. From the Son. - Mr. Beecher's sons are working very hard in his behalf, and every day are with some of the younger counsel seek ing out testimony and perfecting plans outride of the court rooi. Henry Beecher, Jr., is a smart yomig insurance agent in Court street, Brooklyn, and during his trial ho intrusts his business to his brother Herbert, and joins with lis brother William in helping the law yers. Mr. J. L. Hill, Gen. Tracy, and itr. P. Keady are busy all of every day, outside of the court, with different branches of the case, and it- is asserted by one who is in Mr. Beecher's employ that six lawyers whose names have not been made public are at work for him Making thirteen in alL Gen. Tracy is eommitting his opening speech to mem - cry, and is waiting patiently t be called into the court-room to deliver it. The defense have a long list of witnesses, and the working lawyers outside of the court room are learning specifically what each can testify to. They pass the result of their work into Mr. Shearman's hands, who hsu hi-, (darks trained to arrancre the matters to a nicety, and the result wfllf be that the facta for the defense will be" woven strongly together, and made to . toll to good advantage. .-. i Tits Battl of Krooklyn la Verse. fFroua the Graphic!. .

There sJl the stray bits of history in the uvea of the prmcips-ifl have a chancA of beincr told. Many are true. many wear the semblance of troth, and a great many are purely apccrypnai. Among- many other thinga told at Jwsch about the chief actors in tba trial was a ntorv that, before the casa uesmn, Tilton. Beecher, and Moulton went into active physical training, and that the two former still continue the practice. Beecher gets up at five o'clock, takes a cold bath, and afterward exercises with dumb-bells for half an hour. Then he spends another half hour pummeling a sack filled with sand. Another half hour is spent with a pair of Indian clubs, after which he takes a smart walk to Prospect park and repeats a dozon times the ascent of the hill where the Prospect tower stands. He eats porterhouse steaks when he returns homeland washes them down with Dublin porter. In this way he has reached the strength and muscular vigor of a prize-fighter. Tilton has gone further and superadded to all this, prize ring practice in a private parlor. Moul ton tried a variety of ways to harden his physique and toue his nerves to the steadiness of a rope-walker's. The re sult ia seen in the freshness that charac terized Moulton after his ten days' ordeal as a witness, and the splendid health so palpable in the faces of plaintiff and de fendant - Tilton's Damaging Admission. (From the Chicago Tribune. The defense in the Beecher case on Tuesday last struck its first material blow at Mr. Tilton in securing from him the admission that he was the first to give currency to the scandal himself. This does not affect directly the question of Mr. Beecher's guilt, but it furnishes the defense a very important element in its theories, and will undoubtedly be used with great effect when the time comes. In this connection Mr. Tilton testified that all his interviews with Moul ton were for the purpose of keeping secret the adulterous relations between Beecher and - Mrs. Tilton ; that Mr. Beecher did not communicate the facts to Mrs. Woodhull which she made pub lic, but that Mrs. ' Woodhull 'obtained them " through the open gate of the hps oi Airs. jatiian IS. Morse, his motner-in-law, and that this latter found out what had passed confidentially between him self, Beecher and Moulton, " because I told her, and she teld the .world." What are we to think of a man who, after pretending to shield tho reputation of his wife foi two or tliree years, and threatening to shoot Mr. Beecher if he divulges the terrible secret, deliberately goes ana tens tne wnole wiiole ureauiui, tcanualous story to a woman, knowing the weakness of the sex when possessed of a scret, and that woman, too, a mother-in-law, who had all the infirmities of the conventional mother-in-law in a most un usual degree ? Had Theodore Tilton de sired to find the surest and speediest medium of disseminating the scandal he could not have made a more fortunate selection. ' Mrs. Morse, the mother-in- law, did the work in the most thorough manner by handing it over to the most inveterate scandal-mongers in the whole country, viz., the Woodhulls. Such a fact is, to say the least, very damaging to Mr. Tilton's sincerity and his asser tions of anxiety to drown or strangle the secret. Theodore's Estimate of the Great Preaeher. Tilton's Croea-Examination. Q. He (Beecher) was in bis maturity and strength of life then ? A. I don t know what you consider maturity. Q. What did you consider Lis age? A. About 63. Q. Was he a man of mature years and settled position in his profession f. A. I always regarded him as a big boy and not a man at alL Q. In what sense was he. a big boy ? A. His manner was large, hearty and companionable. Q. . Guileless ? A. No, sir. Q. Doesn't that come within the de scription of a boy? A. No, sir. The craftiest people I know are boys. Q. You use the phrase in the sense of generosity of demeanor? A. I meant to say there was a certain bouncing air in his manner, and he was fond of the things that boya are fond of. I thought him the moal charming man I ever knew. ,- Q. You think you were right then? A. I had not had the experience I have had since. I loved him next to my father. Q. Up to what period did you retain these feelings ? A. As I mingled with the world my idol became dim. I met other men, his peers and superiors, as I grew older. Q. These rivals of Mr. Beecher's came into as intimate companionship with you as he did ? A. I don't know to what you refer. When I came to know Charles Sumner I ranked him higher intellectual ly, morally and socially than Beecher. I also ranked Horace Greeley higher in tellectually and in every way. I must say I was never as ratimate with those men as I was in my early life with Beecher. Q. Give us the dates when your opin ion began to change I hj. In proportion as I enlarged my acquaintance, here and there one rose above Mr. Beecher. He was still a great man. There were great men bef o-e Agamemnon, and there will be great men after him.

Henry Ford, of Bos ton, contracted an ear-ache in' the court, and taking an overdose of laudanum to quiet it, he died from the effects. . ; A NTrwsPAPKB correspondent having called Mrs. Tilton the " Helen of the Brooklyn' Iliad," the Nashville Union says Theodore called her Helen Blazes when he first made the distressing dis covery.' . -" Theodobh Trtrox, in that poem read in court, remarks : "What did Adam say to ; Evet "Aimer, airnerr e'est a vivre," but it's bosh to intimate that Adam used French at all; his language, if memory fails lis not, was merely a sort of antediluvian patois. -t i Bbookxth Argus : " There are 750, 000 white men in this country ' who can not read 750,000 immortal beings to whom the Brooklyn bonanza is, the very arcanum of mysteries, and who can never know of " true inwardness," and "parox ysmal osculation" and .' soul trustful ness," except by the bewildering avenue of hearsay." . Dukkq last Friday's proceedings of the trial, a hitherto unpublished letter from Beecher to . Tilton, dated June- 3, 1867, was produced, in which the writer says s "I find myself slowly but surely going from those views of human nature and of divine government which have ua-lerlaid for a thousand years the Evan gelical churches." NJ wonder, sajs the Chicago Journal, this declaration, when read in court, produced a sensation. It was coupled with encomium upon Her bert Spencer. But, then, Henry Ward never was regarded as a second! John Calvin in orthodoxy. Tilton and His Stother-ln-tUtw, From Tilton's Croae-eiamination.) Q. Now, these interviews had been during that interval before May, 1871, more or less of confidential conferences ? A. Yes, sir. - They had been confidential com munications ? A. Yes, sir ; I can't an swer, whether Beecher had considered them confidential or Moulton had, but I had spoken to some of my friends. But, understand, that whatever I communicat ed, I never spoke to Mrs. Tilton's de traction ; but I was never anxious to spare Mr. Beecher. Q. Although they all aided to dis closures about your wife f A. No, sir ; the only protection which I put over Beecher was just so far as it was neces sary to protect Mrs. Tilton, and, if it had not been necessary to protect Mrs. Tilton I would have allowed Mr. Beecher to go to his destruction four years ago. J. understand you to say that, not withstanding the whole motive of this interview of the 30th and what followed it was to protect your wife, and not love to Mr. Beecher, yet you did not scruple immediately afterward te disclose as much as you pleased of what was going on? A. Yes, sir, I did. I was under no obligation to keep anything secret, except for the sake of my wife, and not for the sake of Beecher. Q. I have not asked you anything about that. I want . to know whether you did it ? A. Yes, sir, I did, to those I had previously spoken to about the matter. Q. Now, as far as you know, was not it from your transactions that there ever came the first allegation of the transac tions then purposed and carried on dur ing that early season that finally reached Mrs. Woodhull? A. No, sir, it was Mrs. Morse. i Q. How did she find out what had passed confidentially between yourself, Beecher, and Moulton ? A. Because I told her, and she told all the world. Laughter. Q. You know that? A. Yes, sir. Q. And she was one of tho persons you told? A. Yes, sir. Renewed laughter. Q. And you knew her infirmity when you told her ? A. Yes, sir. Every man in court who labored under a mother-in-law, and every man in court who contemplated that fearful possibili ty, opened his mouth and shouted with laughter. , Mrs. Tilton herself smiled at her husband's tribute to her moth er's garrulity, and even Beecher looked as if he would like to laugh, but dared not in presence of his wife. The Judge, however, threw cold water on the merriment with a threat to adjourn court, upon which Evurta re sumed the cress-exammation. Mr. Beeehers Line mt Defense. From the Cincinnati Commercial Editorial. It is our purpose to invite the atten tion of our readers to certain circum stances showing what the theory of the defense must be, and that there is reason still to hope that the innocency of Mr. Beecher of the crime with which he is charged, can be established. We are not about to urge the plausibility of this theory, but will content ourselves with presenting it as a possibility. Our readers have noticed the recur rence of the phrase " spiritual adultery," or as Mr . Tilton phrased it in an article of his read in his cross-examination, " adultery of the soul." This, Tilton said in his editorial, was the most crim inal form of the crime. He is a man of poetic temperament and morhjd moods, excitable, erratic, a seeker of originality, a cultivator of the imagination, and he has testified that his memory is a series of pictures not a record of events. Many have read the novel of " Griffith Gaunt," and recollect the devotion of the lady to the priest, mistaken by the hus band for a criminal passion. Mrs. Til ton, it will be remembered, referred to this story, and admitted that, like Catherine Gaunt, she had given up too much of her heart to her pastor, and she felt remorse for it. Suppose the trouble began right here. Mr. Tilton has expressed himself that "adultery of the soul" is the highest form of the crime. He accused his wife of that. She confessed it. . He was jealous of Beecher's fame, and now came to look upon him as usurping his place in his wife's affections. Out of this grew morbidness, jwretcnedness, and acute exag geration of petty things the aggravation of all irritations a state of monomania. Mrs. Tilton is a nervous person, worn with sickness, weary of contention, afraid of her husband, devoted to long prayers and vigils, a timid little woman, imagina tive, troubled with fancies, craving sym pathy and support, shrinking from con tention, and often in a dreamy state of mind like an opium .eater a woman of illusions one who has faHen into trances. She says her husband was everlastingly nagging at her about this crime of the soul, and endeavoring to give it a physi cal interpretation, and especially to ac cuse Mr. Beecher. She might, there fore, write or say almost anything, with out seriously affecting the case. : ,. i Instances are not unfrequentin which people go on nnsunderstanding each other vitally for years, when both believe all the while that they have perfect knowledge. They may converse, eaeh in his own current of thought, and neither see the thoughts of the other. : It is the lack of mutual understanding that makes quarrels. In these entangle ments, what one utters as a protest be comes to the other a confession ; a word of self-reproach for a trivial thing is sounded abroad as a cry of despair. The world is full of these misinterpretations. The drama farce and tragedy abounds with them. History bristles with them. " Trifles light as air" in other than the miserable scenes of stinging jealousy, become "confirmation strong as proofs 'of holy writ," of some preconceived no tion. , One may walk very near the truth, and yet in an abyss of falsehood. : . j We offer' this theory . of the defense merely as worthy the , considerate atten tion of our readers, feeling that the vast majority of them would be nappy to wel come any rational solution of the dark mystery of the case, consistent with the redemption of - the illustrious name that is now in the valley of the shadow of death.

A Puzzle as Is a Puzile Where Does the Day Bctrm i r Communication in New York Post. ! Your correspondents have . satisf ao torily solved Paul Marhndales prob lem as to where a pereon traveling west ward around the globe will find his Mon day changed to Tuesday. The rule they have given of making the change at the longitude of 180 degrees from Greenwich, is adopted by common usage; but I wish to state two curious exceptions to it, which I find in Chambers "Book of Pays," volume 1, page 6 : s Manilla, in the Philippine Islands, lags one day behind the rest of the East In dies in its expression of the days of the week; while Alaska, in the same matter, gallops one day ahead of its neighbor, British Columbia. . . f The reasons for these anomalies are as follows : The Philippine Islands were col onized by Spaniards, who first came there from the east across the Pacific; but the rest of the East Indies were colonized by Europeans, coming from the opposite direction. Each set of colonists, of course, broucht its own day of the week, and consequently it happens, oddly enough.'that Manilla is weekly keeping its Sunday while tne neignoormg islands are having their Monday. So in regard to Alaska. That country was first set tled by Russians coming from the West, while the remainder of the eastern coast of the Pacific was settled from the East. Thus it happens when Alaska is keeping Sunday it is only Saturday on the rest of the coast. And what is more wonder ful still, Alaska being ninety degrees east of Manilla, . will - have already en joyed one-fourth of its Monday before the latter place enters upon its Sunday. It is possible that, since the date on which Alaska changed its allegiance, it it has also changed its expression of the days of the week to conform with that of its new owner. Can any of your cor respondents inform me whether such is the case ? J- C. S. Unprecedented Case of Cruelty. We have had numerous instances of. lasting revenge and persecution between man and man, but we have rarely seen that disposition exhibited for many years in the most cruel and persistent way on the part of a man toward a dumb beast. Such a case has transpired in Fulton county, 111. A wealthy farmer (we give his name because such a man deserves to be made famous) named Coleman had a colt which kicked or bit or in some other way displeased him. He conceived a fierce dislike to the animal thereupon, and invented a fiendish system of re venge. Ho had a small covered pen built and placed the animal in it, never to come out alive. He fed and watered it bountifully and watched the result. For a year or more the horse showed no signs of suffering from hiB confinement, its hair began to grow thin and fall off, then it became , misshapen, and legs crooked. Its front hoofs grew eighteen inches long and turned up so that they touched his shins. Such a spectacle did the horse become that a circus proprietor seeing it, offered $1,500 for it as a cu riosity, but was refused. Vengeance against the animal was sweeter than the money. After ten years of confinement the horse died. Thus Coleman was suf fered by his neighbors to do this thing uninterfered with, and it is said they thought him a pretty good sort of a man, but the Illinois Humane Society think differently and have arrested him. He makes no defense and will be brought to trial, so that he stands a fair show for punishment. It ought to be adequate. As a peculiar phase of human nature. tins circumstance can hardly be ex celled. Milwaukee Sentinel. A FftTored Prisoner.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two and a bait pounds of bile, which contains a. great amount of waste material taken from the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or con gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxi oca substance, which, therefore, remains to poison the blood and be conveyed to every part of the system. What moat be the condition of the blood when it ia receiving and retaining each day two and a half pounds of poison ? Nature tries to work oft this poison through other channels and organs the kidneys, lungs, akin, etc. ; bat these organs become overtaxed in performing tins labor, in addition to their natural functions, and cannot long witlixtaud. the pressure, but become variously diseased. The brain, which is the great electrical cen ter of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood 'which passes to it from the heart, and it fails to perform its ofiice health fully.! Hence the. symptoms of bile poison ing, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy forebodings, and irritability of temper. The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface of the akin, is so irritat ing and poisonous that it produces discolored brown spots, pimples, blotches and other erup tions, sores, boils, carbnncles, and scrofulous tu mors; The stomach, bowels, and otl ; organs spoken of, cannot escape becoming affected, soon er or later, and costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspep sia, diarrhcpa, female weakness, and many other forms of chronic disease, are among tue neces sary results. As a remedy for all these mani festations of disease, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi cal Discovery with small daily doses of his Pleasant Purgative Pellets are positively un equaled. By them the liver and stomach are changed to an active and-, healthy state, the appetite regulated and restored, the blood and secretions thoroughly purified and enriched, and the whole svstem renovated and built up anew.
