Seventy-tkird Day of the Wonder
ful Scandal Suit.
MR. BEECHER'S LAST DAY
The Witness Rejoiced at His
Release.
A QUESTION OF LIFE INSURANCE.
"A Strong Spiritual Presentiment that I
Was Near the Borders."
FLUSHING A PARTRIDGE.
Following Up Bowen's Check to
Tilt on for $7,000.
"Spoils from New Friends for the Enrich
ment of Old."
The cross-examination of Mr. Beecher termi
nated yearetday at half-past twelve o'clock, to the
e? dent great Joy of Mr. Beecher hlniseil and the
Court and jury. In rather a pleasant n ame or
miud Mr. Kuilerton sat down after his long and
exhausting effort, l^uite a atlr toos: place in the
court room ami several persons .stood np and lett
as if the main attraction ol the performance was
at an end. Fuiiertun did not exert hnuseli with
anytt lng like his accustomed energy. He seemed
to ieel that ue had accomplished his task and tiiat
the few rema ning questions necessary to be put
to the witness were or a purely ioruial character.
Mr. beeuhsr had evidently no Idea the cross
examination was to termlnato so abruptly. He
w..s red and unnappy, and his answers had at
times a tone of anger that snowed he was r?stive
unJ embarrassed. Ue left the stand hushed and
iree, and la bis every motion indicated that do
telt redcved from some terrible pressure. The old
quotation from the Irian orator?"Redeemed, re
generated and disenthralled"?wus something
that Beecner's friends considered applied to his
escape ir m Fulerton's hands. Beeoher was
under hall an boar's
Bsniucr kxamin atiov,
and then prior to ta&tng a recess descended from
the stand and received the congrataiatlons of nia
lrlands and relations. foor Mrs. Beecucr'* eves
Ugnted up with a gladness tna: has long been
a stranger to taem. Her daughter, Mrs. Scovillo,
was equally influenced to comiort aui napplness,
and Mr. Scovi'.i? was so far impressed as to cry,
"Hip, hii>, nnrrah!" Beecher Himself was glad
that the agony was over and wat uncommonly
communicative. He left the court room at recess
and did not return during the day. 5or old Foi
lertoo pat in an appearance in the aitemooo.
?trer the cross-examination ceased be sat steadily
?tartag at the witness.
Beecher has made a negative impression. The
jeopie who have sat day after day under his
shadow in the com t room and listened to hia an
sweri have come away witu the impression that
he must be a deeply injured nan or e:se he is a
ueepiy injuring witnees. There were times in ais
testimony when trie latter impression wus very
strong on the minds of m^st people, and lieecaer
appeared more the sinner than the saint. The
common sense of the public who read nis answers
and statements will determine as luliy and em
1'hatlcailjr as any verdict or a jury the trne meas
ure of the man's culpability. He tias uot been a
great success as a witness lor himself, and as
against biruseif eveiybody will determine by the
record of bis lestiuionv.

KISSING IN CHINA.
New York, April 21, 1876.
To tub Editor of the Hikald:?
In yotu- laaue of to-day, under head of "Kissing
lncnln*" jou (tare as an authority an extract
lrum tlPhiladelphia Press, whicii Is really a con
deusai ton of the story entitled "Mi?s l?dQr" writ
ten by me lor "l.otos Leaves."
Aa the tact or kuaing being unknown anions the
Chinese w.is first brought to uotlce by myselr and
has be en denied by some of my coautrynien, who
only i.now the Chinese of Hons; Kong Harbor, 1
win give vou the reasons wtiy this nation tias re
pudla'o.l tne osculaiory art.
In ivinote ilines it wan known and practised,
but v.- (win Ooniucius remaugurated and retauuht
the doctrine ol veaerati.ni of ancestors ine Chi
nese gradually abandoned kissing as vulgar and
tendlDv to pro note lamiilarltv. As a proot ol this
we c. -nuoi And the act delineated upon any piece
of clnna or In any modern Chinese riaiiitnisr,
Oiiildrtsu venerate tneii purpiit ?worship in many
cases.?and veneration forbids familiarity. For
tills rvason, una aiming at a nigh de. ree ol purity,
theuntuese have abandoned Kissing as a means
of cxrpresslng regard auu loo* with something
morn than *ucuriae npOB It*practice by ourselves.
As ; his tact is excMn* considerable comment. I
think' n as w ell to place 11 upon a more certain
oasis than the story of "Miss isen." Remaining
yourifvery truly, EDWAltD OltAY.
