I A PaOTEST from ELIZABETH.?Mrs.
I Tilton oreated something of a sensation
I in tho Brooklyn City Court on Monday.
Whoa tho "Court nod boon formally
opened und tho jury culled, she roso up,
and, addressing Judge Neilson, asked
him to havo the communication, which
she was about to submit to him, read
aloud. The note was passed to the
Judge, who read it, and remarked "that
this matter would bo considered." Tho
following iB the letter:
Bbooklyn, May 3, 1875."
Juuoe Neilson: I ask the privilege
lrom you for u few words in my own
behalf. I feol very deeply the injustice
of my position in the law nnd beforo the
Court now sitting. Yet sinco your last
decision I have been bo sensible of the
power of my enemies that my soul cries
out before you and tho gentlemen of tho
jury that they beware how, by a divided
verdict, taoy consign to my children a
false and irrevocable stain upon their
mother. For five yearn past I have been
the victim of circumstances most cruel
and unfortunate. Struggling from timo
to timo only for a place to live honorably
and truthfully, released for some months
from the will by whose power uncon?
sciously I criminated myself again and
again, I declare solemnly bclore you,
without fear of mivn anil by faith in
God, that 1 am innocent of tho crime
charged against me. I would like to tell*
my whole sod story truthfully; to ac?
knowledge tho falsehoods wrung from
mo by compulsion, though at the same
timo unwilling to reveal the socrots of
my married life, which only tho vital
importance of my position makes neces?
sary. I assume the entire responsibility
of this request, which is unknown to tho
friends or counsel of either side, and
await your honor's honorable decision.
With great respect,
ELIZABETH R. TILTON.
Tho Judge declined to read it to the
jury. He. tells hor, in a letter, that the
statuto of May 10, 1867, expressly de?
clares the wife to be an incompetent wit?
ness for or against her h unhand.
Falbe Theobies Ovr.nTHnowN.?We
live under a new medical dispensation,
very different from that under which so
many of our forefathers died. The sick
aro no longer bled till they faint, nor
gorged with mercury, nor prostrated
with violent cathartics, nor blistered on
their shaven heads. Ever sinco tho in?
troduction of Hostetter's Stomach Bit?
ters, twenty years ago, renovation and
restoration, not depletion and prostra?
tion, havo been the watch-words of the
judicious portion of the profession. The
remarkable success of this famous vege?
table preventive, invigoront and correc?
tive has worked a complete revolution in
tho general treatment of disease. At
first, the dogmatic members of the faculty
would not believe in it "What!" they
exclaimed, "euro liver complaint with?
out mercury, chronic rheumatism with?
out Colchicum, fever and aguo without,
quinine! Impossible!" But the most
obstinate incredulity must yield in the
end to practical demonstration. From
that time to the present, dyspepsia,
biliousness, intermittent fevers, muscu?
lar diseases, nervous complaints and
constipation havo vanished under tho
operation of the great specific, in at least
ninety per cent of tho coses in which it
has been used as a remedy for those ail?
ments; while as a preventive of all mala?
dies generated by change of climate,
sudden revulsions of temperature, epi?
demic poison iu the atmosphere, und un?
wholesome water, its beneficial effects
have been ho obvious and uniform as to
secure the most perfect confidence in its
properties as an antidote, safeguard and
cure. M7 |3'. l
Barbaha Fritchie.?Barbara Fritchie
can hardly rest comfortably in her tomb.
Sho should materialize and make a state?
ment The recently published affidavit
of an army officer vouching for the truth
of Whittier's lines concerning Barbara
Fritchie, how tho old lady heroically
seized and held aloft the flag struck down
by order of Stonewall Jaokson, when tho
Confederate troops marched through
Fredericksburg in 1862, has revived the
discussion of the story, and the fact has
been made pretty certain that tho poet has
woven his ueautiful patriotio rhapsody
out of "airy air." A lady historian of
Baltimore fs now engaged in the prepa?
ration of a Maryland biographical histo?
ry, and Whittier's heroine, of course,
engaged her attention. Unlike Whittier,
she doubted the story, inquired and
analyzed, and obtained indisputable
evidence I of its falsity. Jacob Engel
breoht, an old citizen of Frederick,
greatly respected for his integrity, once
Mayor of the city, and notably an oracle
in the matter of dates and occurrences,
ho having for many years kept a diary of
events, testifies that nothing of tho kind
ever happened; that he lives directly op?
posite Mrs. Barbara Fritchie's home, and,
the old lady'herself nevor thought of the
inoidont until she read the poem. An?
other witness is Saranal Tyler, Esq., a
nativo of Fredoriok, well known for his,
varied literary accomplishments) and as
tho author of tho lifo of Chief' Justico
Taney. He has' covofnlly investigated
tho subject, too, and calls the story Pure
flotion. ? ?? ? ' ' - '

gaze of an interested public.
The following story is picturesquely
told by the Boston Saturday Evening Ga?
zette:
"A lady truvoling from New York to
Boston, a short time ago, took her seat
in a drawing-room car, the only occu?
pants of which wore two gentlemen.
One was smoking, the other held a fresh
and unlightod cigar just ready to apply
tho match. The fair traveler did not like
the odor of smoke, and calmly remarked
aloud that this was the drawing-room
car, and they would please find the!
smoking-car forward, for the smoko was
very offensive to her. The gentlemen
removed the obnoxious weeds, but looked
extremely serious about it, and had a
word or two with the conductor when
that functionary entered. He mildly re?
quested tho lady to step into another
car, but she was comfortably seated and
declined to move. By and by, other
gentlemen appeared and addressed the.
would-be smoker as 'Mr. President,' and
when at last some one let drop the mys?
tic, word 'Grant,' the obtuse but well
meaning dame recognized her company,
and summoning the conductor, sought
another car."
Jennie Collins, in commenting on bodio
statements of a half-informed doctor,
says: "We have not one woman too
many in Massachusetts; in the next
place, they are more healthy than men,
and both facts can be proved by tho re?
port of tho citv hospital, which received
2,08U*nieu, and in the same period only
1,113 woiden, although they are double
in number, with half tho pay. The next
error of Dr. Amos, is the statement that
manufacturing and kindred trade crafts
are injurious to health und morals in a
greater degree than other modes of life.
This is contradicted by tho vecords at the
State House, that will bear testimony
that out of 150,000 women, only one in
seventy-five chargeable to the State for
support in sickness or old age, is from
factories or shops. As for their morals,
another rocord will show that out of the
appalling number of poor girls who ore
led away from rectitude and seek redress
from tho State, very nirely one comes
from the factory or work-shop. A signi?
ficant fact for themselves and their sur?
roundings."
A San Francisco statesman has accom?
plished what the Brahmins failed to do.
A banquet was given Gen. George Crook
in San Francisco on the evening of tho
12th ult, and Unitod States Senator
Sargent, of California, responding to the
customary toast in honor of the Presi?
dent of the United States, made the fol?
lowing statement: "I know from his
own lips that he looks with anxiety for
the speedy end of his service. In a re?
cent conversation ho said to mo, T had
no rest during the war; I had none
under tho succeeding Administration ?
only anxiety and responsibility; I have
had no rest during the past six years;
I have two more years of this labor to
comes.'"
If.?The Boston Herald pokes fun at
the President about that little speech
which ho had prepared, and in which it
was hoped he would announce that in
no ease would ho become a candidate for
a third term. Tho mishaps which pre?
vented its delivery are narrated with
some humor by the Herald, which con
eludes that "if the day had been longer,
if the Concord platform had been
stronger, if the Lexington procession
hod been on time, if the President had
not been lost for an hour or two, the
third term bugbear would have been ex?
ploded, and we should have peace.

Perhaps tho worst sign, as regards the
guilt of Beeoher, is tho declination of
his lawyers to put Mrs. Tilton upon the

A Peak's mills. It is customary for all
mills to shut down on windy days, to
avoid fire. Spalding A Peck were asked
to shut down, but refused, and tho con?
flagration was the result. If the trial
proves successful, numerous others will
follow.
