Tilton against the New York Tribune, New
T©rk World and the Brooklyn Etujle.
The New York Herald of the itfkl gives a
Eeclier
I'! ?S
nopals of the forthcoming report of the
Investigating Committee. The re
port Is a lengthy document, and claims that
Tilton'* statement Is unworthy of credence,
because he states under oath in one instance
What is flatly contradicted in another. After
reviewing the controversy in detail the report
autns up the whole matter pro and con,
allowing OB one hand a man standing before
all the world with a great reputation for
•potless purity, Christian clmracter and moral
worth on the other a man of proven bad and
criminal character, the latter making accusa
gainst ||iy^former. The one with
SEWfei* ..S
nothing to prove his story except per
sonal allegation, proven in part to be per
jury, and supported by some letters
which may mean a dozen things but the one
meaning given to them. The story is de
nied by all having any connection with the
matter but one. The circumstances as well
as the burden of proof are all on one side, the
other unsupported by anything but bad char
acter. The committee finds that Henry Ward
Beecher is not guilty of the charges preferred
against him." The Hrrabl says: It is
possible that a short paragraph may he added
to the report noth ing briefly the failure of
Frank Moulton to bring any new evidence to
bear upon the subject which can in the
slightest alter the conclusions the committee
have come to."
A voting girl named Mary Pomeroy, who
recently died at Jersey City Height*, made a
dep'*sition just Itefore her death, charging
that the Rev. John S. Glenderining, a promi

denning says he has documents that will
clear him from the charge, but it is claimed
these document* were obtained by force and
threats from Miss Pomeroy.

The Brooklyn Eagle of the 22d publishes the
evidence given by Tilton's adopted daughter

being a lovely Christian woman and a devoted
wife 'ind mother. In the course of her state
ment she says she once caught Susan B.
Anthony on Mr. Tllton's lap. Miss Anthony
has since indignantly denied the truth of the
story, regarding it as too absurd to be worthy
of further notice.

From fien. Caster'* Expedition.
ST. PAUL. Min»., Aug. 9S.
The report of Gen. Custer to tlie Ie-
?Hack
iartment commander, dated Bear Butte,
Hills, D. T., Aug. 15, was received
this morning at Gen. Terry's headquar
ters. After detailing his operations and
explorations, and the finding in one di
rection of an impassable barrier which
was finally circumvented, the General
says: I propose to return by a differ
ent, although perhaps not shorter, route
than that adopted in corning to the Black
Hills I am induced to make this change
in order to embrace a larger extent of un
explored country within the limits of our
explorations, and particularly to enable
us to locate as much as possible of that
portion of the Little Missouri, of which
nothing is now known. I expect the ex
pedition to reach Fort Lincoln on the 31st
of August. I lie health of the command
has been and is most excellent. The ex
pedition entered the Black Hills from the
west side, penetrated through the eastern
and most southern ranges, explored the
major portions of the interior, and passed
out the most eastern ranges which form
the boundary of the Black Hills. From
the fact that in fill our principal inarches
through the Black ilills we have taken
without serious obstacle a heavily-laden
train of over 100 wagons, it may be in
ferred that the Black Hills do not consti
tute the impenetrable regions heretofore
represented. In entering the Black
Hill* from uny direction the most seri
ous, if not the only, obstacles were en
countered at once near the outer base.
This probably accounts for the mystery
which has so long existed regarding the
character of the interior. Exploring
parties have contented themselves with
marching around the exterior base, and,
from the forbidding aspect of the hills,
as viewed at a distance, inferred that un
advance toward the interior would only
encounter increased obstacles.
In regard to the character of the coun
try inclosed by the Black Hills, I can
only repeat what I have stated in previ
ous dispatches. No portion of the United
St ates can boast of a richer or better pas
turage, purer water, the temperature of
which in summer as it flows from the
earth is but twelve degrees above the
freezing-point, and of greater advantages
generally to the farmer or stock-raiser
than are to be found in the Black Hills.
Building stone of the best quality is to
be found in exhaustible quantities. Wjwid
for fuel and lumber sufficient for all time
to come. Rains are frequent, with no
evidence in the country of eitherdrought
or freshets. The season, perhaps, is too
short and the nights too cool for corn,
but 1 believe all other grain could be pro
duced here in wondertul abundance.
Wheat would particularly yield largely.
There is no doubt as to the existence of
various minerals throughout the hills.
As this subject has received the especial
attention of experts who accompanied
the expedition, and will be reported upon
in detail, I will only mention tiie fact
that iron and plumbago have been found,
and beds of gypsum in apparently inex
haustible quantity.
I referred in a former dispatch to the
discovery of geld. Subsequent examina
tions at numerous points confirm and
strengthen the fact of the existence of
gold in the Black Hills. On some of the
watercourses almost every panful of
earth produced gold in small yet paying
quantities. Our brief halts and rapid
marching prevented anything but a very
hasty examination of the country in this
respect, but in one place, and the only
one within my knowledge where so great
a depth was readied, a hole was dug
eight feet deep. The miners report that
they found gold among the roots of the
grass, and from that point to the lowest
point reached gold was found in paying
quantities. It has not required an expert
to find gold in the Black Hills, as men
without former experience in mining have
discovered it ut an expense of but little
time or labor.
"As an evidence of tlie rich pasturage
to be lound in this region I can state
that inv beef herd, after marching up
ward of 000 mih's, is in better condition
than when I started, being now as fat as
is consistent with marching condition.
The same may be said of the mules of
the wagon train. The horses of the
command are in good working condition.
"I have never seen so muny deer as in
the Black Hills. Elk and hears have
also been killed. We have had no col
lision with hostile Indians.

Chinese Typography.
PHINTTNV. a book in China is done some
what as follows Two pages are written
by a person trained to the business, on a
sheet of thin paper, divided into col
umns by black lines, and in the space
between the two pages are written the
title of the work ant' the number of
chapter and page when the sheet has
been printed it is folded down through
this space, so as to bring the title, etc.,
partly on each page. The sheet, when
ready for printing, is pasted face down
ward on a smooth block of wood, made
usually from the pear or plum tree. As
soon as it is dry the paper is rubbed off
with great care, leaving behind an in
verted impression of the characters.
Another workman now cuts away the
blank spaces by means of a sharp graver
and the block with the characters in
high relief passes to the printer, who
performs his work by hand. The two
points that lie has to be most careful
about are—to ink the characters
equally with his brush, and to avoid tear
ing the paper when taking the impres
sion. From a good wooden block some
i.OOO copies may be printed, and when
the characters have been sharpened up a
little it is possible to obtain 8,000 ox 10,
000 more impressions.

some other small boys were at play in

—A shocking accident occurred at
Kingsbury Music Hall, Chicago, the
other day, which resulted in the instane
ous killing of Robert Henderson, a car
penter employed in the work of fitting
up the hall as a theater. Henderson was
sitting in a window near the ceiling and

—A few days since John Sturgia, a
farmer living near Ullin, 111., went to
BCITN I.tore at Ullin and called for some
quinine. One of the clerks in the store
gave him what he supposed to be quinine
and Sturgis took it home and adminis
tered it to a sick child. In one hour the
child was dead, and upon investigation it
was ascertained that the clerk, instead
of giving Sturgis quinine, had given him
morphine. The proprietors of the store
Bay they bought the stuff in the city for
quinine, and that they are not respon
sible for the mistake.
—A man living about sixty miles from
Parsons, Kan., stole a horse. A mob
went to his house, as they supposed, at
night, and, linding that the occupant
was in bed, they told his wife that they
wanted to see him a minute. So he
came out. They hung him to a tree and
then shot twenty-two bullets into him,
and left him. The next morning they
found that they had got the wrong man
(this one being a hard-working laborer,
with three children), and that the right
man lived just next door.—Chicago Trib

Treating the Wrong OlieMe.
Many times Women call upon their familv
pbvslcians, one with dyspepsia, another witfi
palpitation, another with trouble of the
breast, another with pain here and there, and
in this way they all present alike to them
•elves and their easy-going and Indifferent
doctors separate and distinct diseases, for
^vliich he prescribes his pills and potions, a«.
turning them to be such, when, in reality,
they are all svmiitoms caused bv some uterine
disorder and wiiilc they are thus only able
to palliate for a time, they are ignorant of the
cause, and encourage their practice until
large bills are made, when the suffering pa
tients are no better in the end, but probably
worse for the delay, treatment, and other
complications made, and which a projter
medicine directed to the cause would have
entirely renio\ed, thereby instituting health
and comfort Instead of prolonged miserv.

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIONS.—Perhaps
no man living lias won more golden opin
ion.s than I)r. Walker, .as the enormous
and widelv-increasing sale of his CAM
FOKNIA JKETIAK ULTTEKS attests. We
never look into one of our exchanges but
there is a panegyric of the Bitters staring
us in the face. Our readers will say that
there must be a reason for all this praise.
They are right. The efficacy of this cel
ebrated medicine is established by evi
dence which it is impossible to doubt.
Among the thousands who have borne
testimony to its excellence there is not
one dissentient voice. In very many
phases of inorganic disease it seems to
be unfailing. All diseases arising from a
vitiated state of the blood are surely
eradicated by it. It is an effectual rem
edy for pulmonary complaints, bilious,
remittent and intermittent fevers, rheu
matism and dyspepsia. It purges the
body of all unhealthy humors, gives tone
to the system, and where the vital pow
ers are enfeebled restores their functions
to vigorous and healthy action. All this
it do' the more effectually because its
operation is not interfered with by the
presence of alcohol. The VINEOAR BIT
TER8 is perfectly free from any such
hurtful ingredient. We have always be-,
lieved that plants contain the true reme
dies for disease, and all the remedies nec
essary. Dr. Walker is on the line of real
progress, and we hope that he will not
rest on liis present discoveries.
WiLBOrr's FBVEK AND AGUE TONIC.—This
medicine is used by construction companies
for the benefit of theiremploycs, whenengagai
in malarial districts. The highest testimonials
have been given by contractors and by ttift
Presidents of some of the leading railroad* IK

gated in large numbers in the neighborhood of
swamp- and rivers, Wilhoft's Tonic will prow
a valuable addition to the stock of medicine^
and will amply reward the company in tljl
saving of time, labor and money. We reconj^
