Then came a bush. Through the open door
1A Wee bright Form flashed on the floor,—
Tke Duke himself, in knit and plaid,
With slim soft kn :es, like the knees Of a

MB. nuncnsa‘s STATEMENT.
I do not propose to gi‘v'e‘a‘ detailed exami-
nation oi' the remarkable ~.statemet‘tt.-‘of-Mr.
Theodore Tilton, made beforethe committee
of investigation, and which "appeared in’ the
Brooklyn Argus Of July 21, 1874. I recog-
nize the many reasons which make "it of.
transcedeht importance to myself, the choral!

tom, it is to them I must'laok fer my vindi-
cation. .. , . ,
But I cannot delay for an hour to defend
the reputation of Mrs. Tilton, upon' whose
name, in connection with mine, her husband
has attemptedto pour shame. .
One~less deserving of such disgrace I-
never knew. From childhood she has been;
under 'my eye and since reaching worn’an‘é,
hood she-has had my sincere admiration
and affection. . . , ,
I Cherish for her a pure feeling, suchas a
gentlemun might favOrably offer too. Chris-
tian woman and which she might reCeive‘
and reciprOcate without moral scruples. _
I reject with indignationeveryimputation
whiclueflects upon her boner or to own.
My, regard for her was :perfect , .
knoWn to my family. When ,di calties
sprang up in her household it was to my
wife she resorted for counsel,-and both of
us, acting from sympathy, and, as it subse-
quently appeared, without full knowledge,
gave unadviscd counsel that did not tend to
harmonize.
.I have no doubt that Mr. Tilton found
that his wife’s confidence and reliance upon
I .my judgment had greatly increased while
his influence has diminished in consequence
of a marked change in his religious and
social views which were taking place during
those years. Her mind was greatly exercis-
ed lest her children should be harmed by
views which she deemed virtually false and
dangerous.

I'by'the discloSure Of domestic distress, of
sickness perhaps unto death, of the likeli-
hood of separation and the scattering of a
I was suddenly and rudely
family, every member of which I had ten-
derly loved. It had effect upon me.
The discovery of the state of Mr. Tilton’s
feeling and the condition of his family'sur-
passed in sorrow and excitement anything I
had ever experienced in my life. That my
presence, influence and counsel had brought
to a beloved family, sorrow and alienation
gave, in my then state of mind,apoignancy
to my suffering which I hope no other man
may ever feel. Even to be‘ suspectedl’of hav-
ing offered, under the privileges of a peculi-
arly sacred relation, an indecorum to a wife
and mother, could not. but deeply wound
any one whoI is sensitive to the honor of
womanhood. ' _
There were peculiar reasons for alarm to
this case on other grounds. inasmuch as I
was then subject to certain malignant ru-
mors, and a flagrant outbreak in this family
would bring upon mer‘a’u added injury de-
rived from these shameless falsehoods. Be-
lieving , at the time that. my presence
.and counsels had tended, however uncon-
sciously, to produce a social catastrophe
represented as imminent, I gave expression
. to my feelings with a mutual frtend, not in
cold and cautious selfdefending words, but
eagerly taking blame upon myself and pour~
log out my heart to my friend to the strong-
est language, overburdened with thezexag-
ger'ations ot':impassioned»sorrow:
Had’ I been the evil man Mr. Ti
lton repre-
sents me to be, I should have; been calmer
and more prudent.
It was my horror of
the evil imputed that filled me with a mor-
bid iaten‘sity 'at the very shadow of it. ‘Not
only was my friend afiected generously, but
he assured me that such expressions, if con-
veyed to Mr. Tilton, would soothe his

whole trouble. He 1001; down sentences
and fragments of what I had been saying to
use them as a mediator. Afull statement of
the circumstances under which this memo
randum was made, I shall give to the inves-
tigating committee. That these apologies
were more than, ample to meet the facts of
the case is evident in that’they were accept-
ed, that our intercourse was resumed and
was friendly, that Mr. Tilton subsequently
. ratiked this in writing, and that he has con-
tinued for four years and until within two
weeks to live with his wife.
‘ Is it conceivable, if the original charge
had been what it is now alleged, that he
‘would have condoned the offense not only
, ' With the mother of his children, but with
- him whom he believed to have wronged
them? The absurdity as well ,as-thefalsity
of this story is apparent when‘ it ismonsid-
cred that Mr. 'l-i ton now alleges that he
carried the secret of his wife’s infidelity for
V . six months locked in his own breast and
that then be divulged it to me only that
there might be a reconciliation with me.
Mr. Tilton has since in every form of lan-
' gauge and to a multitude of Witnesses orally,
in written statements, and in printed docu-
ments, declared his faith in his wife’s purity.
~.,After the reconciliation of Mr. Tilton
with me every consideratifon of propriety
and honor demanded that the family trouble
should be kept in that seclusion which’do-
mestic'md'airs have a right to claim as a
sancturyfand to that seclusion it was deltere.

GALtLEo’s TELESCOPE—In the year 1609,
Galileo relates, .he first'heard from a friend
in Flanders that an instrument had been in-
vented by which distant objects were
brought near and the powers of vision ex-
tended. He resolved at once to imitate
and surpass it. By his singular mechanical
dexterity, his knowledge'of optics, and his
highly polished glasses, he was seen able
tO produce a telescope before which the
Dutch instrument sank into neglect, and
wasforgotten. It was never more heard
of; but a thrill of wonder passed over Italy
and Europe when it was known~that the
famcus Paduan professor had prepared an
optic glass _that enlarged. the bounds of
vision and endowed mankind with new
powers.- The char-m of-surpassing novelty
covered the Wonderful invention with an
unprecedented renown. The great and the
learned contended for the possession of the
new iustrument. . Galileo carried his tele-
scope to Venice. and from the tallest bell-
towers senators and nobles saw through the
magic glass great argosies sailing far out at
sea, and the distant shores brought near and
made visible. All the value of the new in-
strument broke at once upon their minds:
it must change the principles of military
strategy, and diminish the perils of naviga-
tion. Magistrates, senators, and citizens
covered the fortunate inventor with sp-
plausc. With discreet courtesy, Galileo pre-
sented his telescope to the doge at afriendly
audience, and the Venetians at once raised
his salary to a thousand florins. Covered
with honors and emoluments, he returned
to Padua, little conscious of the surpassing
discoveries that yet awaited him in the si-
lent heavens, or of the pains and wges he
was destined to bear in his later years from
the heretical revelations of his too truthful
and fatal telescope—Etienne LAWRENCE,
in Harper's Magusinefcr' August.

THE GOOD FELLOW.
We wonder if the “good fellow" ever mis-
trusts his goodness, or ever realises how
weak, how unprincipled and how bad a fel-
low he truly is. He never regards the con-
sequences Of his acts as they relate to others
and especially those of his family friends.
Little fits of generosity towards them are
supposed to atone for all his misdeeds, while
he inflicts upon them the disgrace, inconven-
iences and burdens Which attend a selfishly
dissolute life. The invitation of a friend,
the taunts of good-natured boon companious
the temptations ijolly-frieudship, these are
enough to overcome all his scruples,‘ if he
has‘any scruples, and to lead him to ignore
all the possible results to those who love
him best, and who must care for him in sick-
iigss and all the unhappy phases of his selfish
l e.
The good fellow is notoriously careless of
his famil . Any outside friend can lead
him whit ersoever hewill—into debauchery,
idleness, vagabondage. He can ask a favor,
[and it is done. He can invite him into dis-
grace, and heigoes. He can direct him into
a job of dirty work, and he straightway
undertakes it. He can tempt. him into any
indulgence which may suit his vicious
whims: and re ardless of wife, mother,
sister, who may e shortened in. their re-
sources so, as legitimately to claim his pro-
__jng hand—regardless of honorable father
an brother —he will spend his money,
waste his time, and make himself a subject
of constant and painful anxiety, or an un-
mitigated nuisance tothose alone who care
a straw'for him. What pay does he receive
for this shameful sa‘rifice ? The honor of
being consideretl a “good fellow” with a set
of men who would not- spend a cent for him ‘
if they should see him starving, and who
would laugh over his calamities. When he
dies in the ditch, as he is most likely to die,‘
they breathe a sigh over the swill they
drink, and, say, “after all, he was a good
fellow." ' ~
. This feature of the good fellow’s case
which makes it well nigh hopeless, is, that
he thinks he isa good fellow. He thinks
‘ that this pliable disposition, his readiness to
do other good fellows a serviCe, 'and his
jolly ways atone for all his faults. His love
of praise is fed by his companions, and thus
his self-complacency ,is nursed. Quitc'
unaware that this good fellowship is the re-
sult of~his weakness; quite unaware that
his sacrifice of honor, .aud the honor and?
peace of his family, for the sake of outside
praise is the offspring of the most heartless
selfishness ; quite unaware that his disregard
of the interests and feelings of those who
are bound to him by the closest ties of blood,
is thedemonstration ofhis utterly unprinei-
pied character, he carries an unruflled,‘ or a
jovial front,'while hearts bleed or break
around him.
Of all the scamps society knows the tradi-
tional good fellow is the most despicable.
_A man who for the sake of his own selfish
delights, or the sake of the raise of careless
'or unprincipled’friends,‘ma es his home a
‘ and torture, and degrade
and disgraces a 1 who are~assoolatcd with
him in his home life, is, whether he knows
it or not, a brute. If a man cannot be loyal
to his home, and to those who love him,
then he cannot be loyal to anything that is
good. There is something mean beyond de-
scene of anxiet
:s'cription in any man who. cares more for
anything in this world than the honor, the
, There is"
semething radically wrong in such a. man,
and the more thoroughly he realizes it. in a
humiliation which bends him to the earth in
some land confusion.. the -better..fo’r him.
The traditional good fellow is a: had fellow
from the crown of his head-to them of his
foot. ,IHe‘is as weak as: a baby, .HE as a
peacock,,selfish as a pig and as: unprit-i-
pled as a thief. He has not one redeeming
trait upon which a reasonable. self-respects .
can be built and braced- ' -
Give us the bad fellow who stands by h
pergonal and family hon'or, who sticks to
his'own, who dare not “treat” his friends
while his home is in need of the money he
wastes. and who gives himself no indulgence
of good fellowship at the expense of duty!
A man with whom the approving smile of a
wife, or mother, or sister, does not weigh
more titan a thousand braves of boon com-
panions is just no man at all—Scribner.

Capt. Stephen Trowbridge, who now re-
sides in Milford in this state, is uinetydhree
years old, and has made one hundred trips
across the Atlantic ocean from New York

several times, and washed overboard during
a gale in mid-ocean. His ship was attacked
by Algerian pirates while in the Mediter-

now a Teacherssopped a Train.
On Monday of last'week. says the Albany
Arguathere was au'occurreuce on the Har-
lem Extension railroad that is worth re--
counting. About nine in the morning of
that day a serious collision—a collision be
tween a girl and a train of cars—was avoid-
ed in a very singular and daring way. The
girl is a school teacher, and she was on her.
way to school. The train was 'from Chat-
ham, on its way to Rolland. Both met on
the trestle-work, near Brainard’s station.
The girl stood still, whib the alarmed engi-
neer whistled down breaks, and managed to
stop the train only when the engine was with-
in ten feet of the Obstruction. . The trestle-
work is thirty feet high and bears only one
course of tiers and only one track. “What
do you meanedo you want to be killed i”
inquired the engineer. “N 0," said the girl.
“I am going to school.” “Well, go back till the
train crosses the trestle,” said the engineer,
“I can’t" said the girl, “ I’m late.” “Step
aside, then,” and she stepped aside, outside
the track and on the edge of the ties. But
the space was too narrow; the engine
wheels could not clear her expanded sktrts.
Her next plan was to sit down, with her
legs dangling beneath the lies, but thus the
hoops spread all the wider. Provoking
delay for the engineer, humiliating failure
on,” said she, “I’ll fix it ;” and then, gather:
ing up her limbs and her skirts, she stretch-
ed herself at full length upon the outer edge
of the ties, seized underneath with one hand
the string piece to which the rail is spiked,
and coolly bade the train pass on. In a
minute the train passed over the prostrate
form without jar or jolt, and the next ' in-
slant the girl was on her feet, hastening to-
ward her expectant pupils,before whom she
was determined to be on “time,” though she
disarranged a dozen railroad timestables.
Six things. says Hamilton, are requisite to
create a happy home. Integrity must be

It must be warmed by affection, and lighted
up with cheerfulness; and industry must be
the ventilator, renewin the - atmosphere,
and bringing in fresh so uhrity every day;
while over all a protecting canopy of glory.

Now that the hydrophobia scare is fairly
ofl‘,Ncw York is getting in ‘ fright over dip-
theria. The paper's are on ling attention to
the fact that while London averages about
six deaths from diptheria per week, New
York, with about one fourth its population,
loses thirty-three. The'physicians say it will
increase unless the disease-engendering filth
of the lower part of the. city. is cleaned out,
and new, clean, healthful sewers constructed
in their stead. But as New
have some disease, why ': not diptberia ?
Until the city is about as good as rebuilt in
the matter of sewers, and til the abomin-
able system of over-crowd, in tenement
houses is done away with; ewYork will
never be without an epidem , . Men, women

Some days since it looked as though the
Governor would relieve the city of one of
its-greatest troubles by the removal of Have-
meyer from the Mayoralty, but as his term
lS short he will probably permit him to re-
main. It is claimed that the Mayor is actu-
ally insane, and his acts givejcolor to. the
claim. ~ If he is :not insanc,.h'e is the most
pig headed, stupid man that ever. .lived.

expenses to the minimum, and are sailing
lazily along under bare poles, till, such time

The following document explains itself :'
Rafiart to the LincolnNeb. Temperance Society:
a accordance with your request,. I have
brought to me two weeks ago. The follow-
ing is the result: . .
No. 1. Detwiler’s “Black Maria" contain-

Strychnine ; 3. Strontia; 4. Potash; 5. Ben-
zine; 6. Brazil-wood.
No. 3. Kleutch’s “whisky” contained. 1.

No. 5. Leigton & Brown’s “best. port wine”
contained: 1. Sugar of lead, three grains to
a quart; 2. Potassa and soda carbonates; 3.
Lowwood. '
No. 6. Bailey & Andrew’s whisky con-
tained: 1. Sugar of lead, seven grains to a.
quart; 2. Strychnine ; 3. Potash; 4. Slro‘ia;
5. Benzine ; 6. Brazil-wood.
N o. 7. Brock.& Co.’s “port wine" contain-
ed: 1 Sugar of lead, three grains to a quart;
2. Potassa. and soda carbonates in large
quantity; 3. Logwood.
No. 8. Kelly & Reed's “brandy” contain-
ed : 1. Sugar of lead, seven grains to a quart;
2. Strontia; 8. Brazil-Wood. Small per cent.
alcohol. No trace of pure brandy what-
ever.
No.9. McLaughlin’s “gin” contained: 1.
Sugar of lead, five grains to the quart; 2.
Strychnine; 3. Strontia ; 4. Potash; 5. Ben-
zine. Small per cent. alcohol.
No. 10. Lyehrung & Harley “Angelica
wine" contained: 1. Sugar of lead, two
grains to a uart; 2. Potassa and soda car-
razil-wood.
No. 11. Lyehrnng & Harley best Bourbon
whisky contained: 1. Sugar of lead, six
grains to a quart; 2. Strontia; Brazil-wood;
. Soda.
o. 12. S. S. Brook's common whisky
c ntained: Sugar of lead, nine grains to a
quart; 2. Strychnine; 3. Strontia; 4. Potash;
5. Benzine; 6. BrazI-wood.
This analysis is not exhaustive, as I did
not separate the sugar which. some of the
liquors contained, in the form of caramel;
nor the cayenne pepper which all the whis-
kies contained more or less. The poisonous
substances, however, I- carefully separated.
The absolute aniount‘ of sugar of lead,
strychnine, and strontia was remarkably
large. The poisonous qualities of these
substances is so well‘known that nothing
here needs be said about them. In many Of
these liquors there is strychnine enough in
a quart to kill a man, if-it were taken sepa-
rate from any other mixture, and at one
dose. The same is true of the sugar of lead.
In good whisky the amount of alcohol
should be from forty to fifty per cent. ; but
in these liquors it ranges only from fifteen
to twenty-five per,cent., the larger percent-
ages belonging to the brandies and gin. As
goodliquors as some of these whiskies could
be manufactured for thirty cents a gallon.-
None of these liquors are what they purport
.to be. If any one doubts that these poisons
are found in common liquors, if such doubter
come to the university laboratory in the
afternoon,» I will separate and precipitate
lead, strontia,,etc., in his presence.
Respectfully submitted.

To THE PUBLIC: ' In submitting the fore-
going repOrt of Prof. Aughey, we desire to
say that we have endeavored to obtain
samples of the blast liquor sold at the lead-
ing saloons and drug stores of our city, and
in purchasing them we asked and paid for
their best, in every instance, except the
sample of “common whisk ” from S. S.
Brock. We have been carefu to reserve,
by label and numbers, each samp e, with
date of purchase, of whom and by whom
purchased, and we hold ourselves responsi-
ble for the c‘Orrectness of the same. , We
have also made arrangements, at the labora-
tory of the university, that any dealers
doubting or denying that we have obtained
a correct analysts of his liquor, may take,
in person, samples of the same, and have
them analyzed in his or their presence.
A Family or Three Killed by Light-

During the severe thunder shower of Sat-
urday evening, 11th inst., the house ot'Lew-
is Harrison, in Trumbull, was struck by
lightning and Mr. Harrison, aged twenty-
seven, his wife, and daughter—“aged two,
were all killed. They were sitting on a
feather bed at the time. The neighbors see-
ing smoke issuing from the house, repaired
thither immediately, and found the whole
family dead and the bed in flames. The
flames were speedily extinguished. Mr. and
Mrs. Harrison were badly burned about the
face and head. Another ‘house in the same
town was struck during'the shower and
considerably shattered. The latter had a
lightning rod on each of two chimneys.

THE LOST SHEEP.
,There were ninetyfand nine that safely lay
In the shelter of the fold; ' ‘
And one was out on the hills away,
Far off from the gate of gold ;
Away on the mountains wild and bare-—
Away from the tender shepherd’s care.
“Lord, thou hast here thy-ninety and nine ‘
Are they not enough for thee 1”?
But the shepherd made' answer, “This of
lIlllle
Has wandered away from me;
And although the road be rough and steep,
I go to the desert to find my sheep."
But none of the ransomed ever knew
Ilow deep were the waters crossed;
Nor how dark was the night that the Lord
passed through,
Ere he found his sheep that was lost.
Out in the deserthe heard its cry.
Sick, and helpless and readyto die.
4
“Lord, whence are those blood drops all the
Wily . ’ .
That mark out the mountain’s track?”
“They were shed for one who had gone
astray ‘
Ere the shepherd could bring him
back." ..
“Lord, whence are thy hands so rent and
torn ?”
“They are
pierced to-uight by many a
thorn.” . . .
Anti all three
riven,
And up from the rocky steep,-
Therc rose a cry to the gate of heaven, .
“Rejoice, Ihave found my'sheep l”
And the angels echOed around the throne,
“Rejoice for the Lord brings back, his own!”

BY Lomsa BUSHNELL.
The earth is in a melting mood,
This morning of the. year; »
And clasped around by mists that brood,
She smiles to find herself- so Woed,
With, now and ‘ihén, a tear. . "
The topmost fastuess‘Of the hill
Has let the water go ; "
The happy-hearted little' rill
No longer shivers past the mill
To meadows hushed with snow.
The birds let full iheir new-born dreams
Upon me from above; , - -
And many a shadow wet witlLbeam's,
And many a wind-kissed blossom seems .
To say a word for love. .
What is there in this tender air
TO thrill me like a dart ?. .
It quickens places poor and bear,
And every covert sweet anti fair,
Except one maiden’s heart.
0, are such cltangeful gleams of light
Made only to beguile? ‘ >
Then, I am but a foolish Wight,
To be so glad, because, last night,
She blessed me with a smile.
But 0, when ice anti snow relent,
And every coldest thing;
Might'not, perchance, one more repent,
Anti melting into warm consent,
Flood all my heart with Spring? ,

AT EVENING.
I am sitting alone in the twilight,
The work of the day is done; .
And my thoughts come thronging home
like doves
To their nest at set of sun.
Alone, and the room is silent, _ ,
Save my heart’s passionate beat; _-
Oh, Saviour, come and talkwith me now,
And let me sit at-thy feet. ' '
There is no rustle of garments ;
No fall of afoot on the floor; 4
But I know thou art here, though I saw
Thee not '
.Pass in at the open door.
The air grows solemn and holy;
1 kneel as befits my part; ‘ ‘
So I tell Thee every thought that I think,
And show Thee all my heart. . .
Oh, Christ, who best sufl‘ered temptation,
. Look close at my hidden sin;
It bears a flower to the outward eye,
But a noisome root within.
' And, Christ, who hast borne the anguish _
0f sorrow’s bitterest cup,
Thou knowest when I have tasted woe,
And when I have drank it up. .
And the timid joy of my bosom, ‘ . _
Dear Christ, none other has evei' known;
While the ,world’s rough feetjgotrampliug
on, *
Anti crushing the sweetness down.
Thou seest my hands are empty; .
Their treasures havedropped away ;
The folded palms have nothing to hold
Of the spoils 'of yesterday.
I am tired of sin and of sinning,.
And heavy with grief and loss; — ~ 7
I am worn with waiting forfjgoyviobloom,‘
And weary with" hearing my cross,
Yet hope keeps in tune with her singing-Z
A song that cannot betray; , ‘ .
Sweet Christ, Thy name is the full'refrain‘,
Let tears flow on as they may.

My room is lonely no more, ' ' '
