BE CAREITL WHAT TOF SAT.
In speaking ol another's faults,
Pray dont forget your own;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw a stone;
If w&havc nothing else to do
Buttalk of them who sin,
Til belter that we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge a man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like bis company,
We know the world is wide;
Some may have faults and who may not?
The old as well a-i young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we knotr.
Have fifty t their one. ;.
Ill tell you of a better plan,
And find it works full well;
To tiy my own defects to cure
Before of other's telU
And though I auiU bope to be , - .
No worse thaw some & know.
My own shertooings bid me let
The fault-o others go.
Then let all, when we commence
To slander friend oi foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those wee know:
Remember, dirses, sometimes, like
Ourehieke s, ureor4t home;"
Don't fcpeak trf others faul m until

Another Trae Story.
The New York Times of the 14th
had the following: The world at
large would never know about an in
tenselv dramatic and funny situation
which came under the iersonal obser
vation of a reporter of the I imes dur-
I . , n .1 11 I 4 .1
"'tV?
, n r,dJ- j," 5ap, 2
! ft" TWhwT,: Mr YvVfkeson"
, JJi&
ncr how Tilton came to his office and
told him (Wilkeson) the particulars
how he went to Washington in 1861,
saw Mr. Lincoln, and gc4 a son of Mr.
Bcecher transferred from a Brooklyn
j regiment into the Fourth Artillery of
the regular army.
' What did Mr. Tilton say?" asked
Mr. Evarts.
"Why." said Mr. Wilkeson, "Tilton
said that in the first year of the war
Harry Beecher had fallen into deep
trouble by some misconduct which he
would not characterize, but which he
subsequently did characterize had
fallen into deep trouble in a Brooklyn
regiment in which he was an officer,
and that it became necessary to trans
fer him from the volunteer service in
to the regular army to save him froai
ruin, and that the father had come to
him in tears, and had told him the
trouble in which his son was, and his
own erief and anxiety, and the sorrow
and anxiety of the whole family about
the boy. 'And,' said be, "I want you
to go on to Washington immediately
and get him into the regular .-trmy.'
'And he gave me ?50,' says Tilton,
'and without waiting for a change of
clothing, I crossed the ferry and took
the first train for Washington. On
my way over.' said he, 'I read in a
newspaper that there was to he a
meeting of the Governors of several of
the loyal States and some leading
members of Congress and some gener
als at the house of the Secretary of
War the next morning to have a con
ference about the condition of the
country, and the idea occurred to me
that I would go to that meeting, and
that before 1 left that meeting I would
get that commission for Beecher's son.
! got to Washington early in the
morning,' he said, 'washed myself up,
and brushed my hair, and went over
to Simon Cameron's house who, by
the bye, I had never seen, and didn't
know and it wasn't difficult, as
strangers were entering the house for
the purposes of that reunion, that
conference, for me to get in. A .ser
vant let me in without obstruction.'
He went in and asked-which was the
Secretary of War, and Mr. Cameron
was pointed out to him. He went up
and introduced himself to Mr. Cam
eron as connected with the Independ
ent newspaper, I think he said, and
Mr. Cameron was polite to him and
invited him to the breakfast which
had been appointed. And he said he
went and took his place at the breakfast-table
with the Governors ot the
States and the leading members of
Congress, and some generals of the
army, and be participated in the con
versation, took bis share, bore his
1art, and then devoted himself direct -y

completely, so that when breakfast
was over, and the party broke up. it
was a simple thing for him to take him
to one side, and state to bim Mr.
Beecher's extreme need, the salvation
ot his son from some disgrace in a
Brooklyn regiment, the necessity of
his being immediately transferred into
the regular army; and he said, 1 asked
him to give me that forenoon a com
mission for Uarry in the regular ser
vice. He told me be would do every
thing for me whatsoever, and asked
me to take his arm and go with him
up to the War Department. He said :
I took his arm and went up to the
War Department, and he got a com
mission lor his son in the regular ar
my, and I took the next train and
delivered it into Mr. Beecher's haada.
He drew Die to his bosom with both
arms, kissed me on both cheeks, and
said that as long as I lived, if I want
ed anything out of him. should get
it for that supreme service of his life
that I had rendered him.' ",
"That's a good joke," laughed Mr.
Beecher, as Wilkeson went on nar
rating Tilton's exploit "that's too
good !"
"But wait till you hear the rest,"
whispered Mrs. Beecher, while her
face radiated with smiles as shlootcd
sympathetically up into Mr. Halliday's
face.
"Well. Mr. Wilkeaon. what then?"
continued Mr. Evarts.
"Well," said Mr. Wilkeson, "I"
"I object," put in Mr. Beach.
"That's too bad to spoil the joke
there," whispered Mr. Beecher to Mr.
Porter, "Wilkeson must tell it all."
But, to the discomfiture of the
Beecher party, the sequel was not
given, though the whole court-room
was on tip-toe to hear it.
THE REST OF THE JOKE.
n "What is the rest of the joke, Mr.
Beecher?" the reporter asked.
"Why, you ask Sam Wilkeson; he'll
tell you," replied the great preacher;
"it's too good to be lost."
So, after the court adjourned, the
reporter asked Mr. Wilkeson to tell
him the end of the incident from
where Beach objected.
"Tell it?' of course I will," replied
Mr. Wilkeson. "(t was like this:
As soon i as Theodore had finished
talking about how he had done this
great favor for Mr. Beecher, I took
this letter from Mr. Beecher out of
my pocket and showed it to him :
Brookl T.v.Dec. 2, 1861.
Samuel Wilkeson, Esq.
Dear Sir ; Mr. Tilton informs me
of the service which you have done
me by securing my sou Harry's trans
fer into the regular army through
yocr influence at the War Depart
ment. -I t .
I am sure that nothing could have
been done without you, and Mr, Til
ton is of the same opinion..
If you know bow strong are a fa
ther's feelings, you will then even
know but faintly how much I feel for
this help in my son's behalf.
I hope that Harry will bo conduct
himself as to make you glad to the
end-that you aided him in getting a
start.
I am. dear sir, your greatly obliged
servant,
II. W. Beecher.
"And the joke, Mr. Wilkeson, is
that Tilton, after all, didn't get this
appointment for Mr. Beecher's son?"
"That's just it exactly. The fact
is, I got it entirely myself, Tilton not
being present and in the, very man
ner as described by Tilton to me.
The fact is, Tilton had told the story
over so many times, how he had done
this favor for Mr. Beecher, that he
forgot about my having done it, and
finally carried his coals to Newcastle
by telling it to me. But. Jupiter !
how Tilton wilted when I showed him
Mr. Beecher's letter. That was the
last time Theodore ever looked me in
the face. To think that he should .
have forgotten how he came to me,
and asked me to go and see Lincoln
and Cameron, and how I did go and,
get this appointment it was terrible!"
And Mr. Wilkeson roared with laughter.
HinrhbaeU'a Case Postponed.
In the Senate, on the 16th, the con
sideration ot admitting Pinchback, of
Louisiana to a seat, being under con
sideration. Gov. Morton took the floor
to close the debate :
He said it was manifest to all that
the Democratic party had made this a
5 arty question since the beginning,
'he Democrats played a game of
cards when in doubt they took the
track. The reason why the Democrats
opposed the seating of Pinchback was
that he was a colored man; they did.
not like his color. He argued that
every vote against Pinchback would
be, in effect, to demoralize the Repub
lican party in Louisiana, to disturb
the peace of the State and bring about
scenes of bloodshed. If Pinchback
should be rejected by the Senate, it
would be a declaration that he was
not elected by the Legislature of
Louisiana. What, then, would be the
attitude of the administration ? " The
next House of Representatives would
be 'Democratic, and he predicted that
among the very hrst resolutions to
pass that body would be one recog-
niig the McEnery government, and
calling upon the President to recog
nize it. If the Senate should refuse
to recognise the Kellogg government
now, what ground would be left to the
President to stand upon ? The Demo
crats well understand Ibis, and they
saw the trap into which Republicans
were walking. Some of the Repub
licans might well follow the example
of the Democrats, and when they had
a doubt they might cast votes in favor
ot their own party. Referring to the
argument of the Senator from Ver
mont (Edmonds), he said he had
never heard a- .better Democratic
speech or a more one sided one than
that Senator made. He made no re
ference at all to the crimes and mur
ders which bad been committed in
Louisiana. -
Mr. Edmonds sai i his friend ( Mor
ton) had said he never heard a bitter
Democratic speech. Had not the
Senator heard bitter ones when he
ued to male them himself? Laugh
ter! Mr. Morton said he had made Dem
ocratic speeches, but the last one he
made was in 1852, and if he could not
now be forgiven for that after a lapse
' nearly twenty-three years he never
csuld be Forgiven in this world. If
it was ro be thrown in his face now
that he made Democratic speeches
twenty-three years ago, what extenu
ation was to be made for a Republican
who makes imocratic speeches on
this floor in 1875? Applause in gal
leries. He had no doubt the Kel
logg government represented a major
ity of 20,000 men in Louisiana.
The question then being on the
amendment of Mr. Edmunds, to in
sert the word "not" before the word
"admitted," so the resolution would
read : "Resolved, That P. B. S.
Pinchback be not admitted as Senator
from Louisiana," etc.
Mr. West said that during the last
two days there had leen such a variety
and contrariety of opinions developed
that he was not willing to trust the
admission of his colleague to a vote at
this time. He moved to postpone
further consideration of the resolution
until the second Monday in December
next.
The motion of Mr. West to post
pone the resolution was then agreed
to yeas, 33; nays, 30.

The New York Herald of the 7th,
in commenting upon a recent cast of
cruelty at the Work-house on Black
well's Island, wherein the prisone
was abused even to death, enforces
the lesson ot a brief Tecital ot other
and similar cases, and relates the fol
lowing as going to show what small
chance a prisoner or sick patient
stands in the hospitals or prisons un
der the charge ot the Jew lork city
government:
Cases like the above are but tso
numerous. There are others in which
deeperguilt is charged. 0 May 1,
1867, Patrick O'Rorke and a mes
McGreary appealed before '-Jadge
Dodge, at Jefferson Market, and made
complaint against one .Matthew Hen
derson, an under warden ia th Char
ity Hospital, charging hint with goug
ing the eyes and killing a fellow pa
tient ot theirs named John Ihompson.
They claimed that they made the
complaint, because they believed it to
be their duty, in the ada?it they
charged that they and Tbouiason were
in ward No. 9 of the hospital; that
Ihompson was paralyzed iu both tags;
was in a very weak and redmsed state:
that McGreary was selected as assist
ant in the ward, and that Henderson
had charge of it as orderly: that on
the afternoon of April 28, tiendersoa
thrust his thumbs into Thompson's
eyes; that Thompson, who was very
weak, succeeded in getting his head
away and opened his eyes; that Hen
derson repeated his brutality, when
the complainants and Thomas- Irwin
and John Cousins remonstrated with
Henderson, telling him that Thomp
son was not dead; Henderson replied
that his soul had left the body and
"it was only his insides that were
working;" that Thompson was not
then dead, but opened his eyes; that!
Henderson pulled the pillows from
under Thompson's head, when the
man gave a convulsive heave of the
chest, and, while he was still breath
ing, Henderson put a bandage about
his neck and choked him until he
died. Sergeant (now Ca tain) Bor
den, who made the arrest of Hender
son, stated that the facts, as he learned
them, corroborated with the affidavit,
and the brutal orderly was locked up
for examination. Vhat disposition
was made of the complaint does not
appear. Possibly political influence
saved the man from piosecution.
The Eliza Collins case, the most
outrageous that has been referred to
by the Herald, is so fresh in therecol
lection of New Yorkers that it need
not be detailed at length.' It occurred
last fall in the small-pox pavilion.
Eliza was sent there . by a medical
blunder as a small-pox patient, while
she was suffering only from the hives,
and while there she was forcibly out
raged by a pet of Commissioner Lam
beer named August Mayer or Major.
Dr. Day, Professor ('handler, and
other physicians were satisfied that
the crime had been committed, yet,
by some means, Mayer secured an ac
quittal, and, it is said, is still a nurse
or oiderly on the island, although
President Bailey reports that he is a
Work-house prisoner. .
" Other outrages by policemen, prison
keepers, nurses, and, even judges, are
so numerous that it is useless to re
call all their disgusting and aggrava
ting particulars. The declaration of
Commissioner Gardner and Captain
Williams, that the men should freely
use the club is well remembered. The
reader of the Herald will not soon
forget the unjustifiable invasion of a
man's house in the Twentieth Pre
cinct by Detective Leahy and some of
his associates, their attempt to force
an entrance in the dead of the night
to the bedroom of their victim, an
houest laborer, how he supposed them
to be thieves, resisted, and while
holding the door against them was
sent into eternity by a detective's bul
let. They will remember, too, the
many cases of brutality committed by
the police which have been recorded
in the Herald, and the scores of times
within five years that attention has
been called to the prison en at Jef
ferson Market, where prisoners, it is
believed, have been absolutely frozen
to death. With all these cases fresh
in the recollection of citizens no won
der there is indignation abroad when
this Stockvis case is added to the long
catalogue of outrages by the public's
servants.
Catherine Beecher, Henry Ward's
sister, attributes much of her success
in after life to certain traits in her
mother's character, and their influ
ence on her own early training. 3Irs.
Beecher had a habit of regarding all
knowledge with refereuce to its prac
tical usefulness, and her perseverance
was jiersistent and unflinching. She
commanded strict obedience from her
children, and was particularly careful
in seeing that everything was done
with exactness and completion. Not
withstanding her excellent qualities,
Mrs. Beecher would appear to have
been rather a hard and unloving sort
of person. While the father was pas
sionately fond of children, the mother
was not. 1 cannot remember, says
the daughter, "that I ever saw her
fondle and caress her little ones as my
father did; but her devotion to them
seemed more like the pitying tender
ness of a gentle angel." Old Mr.
Beecher was a traicel dialectician,
and yet he considered his wife, who
was not, fully his equal in an argu
ment. Grandma Beecher was a fine
specimen of, the Puritan character.
She was strict with herself and strict
with all around. Aunt Esther was so
completely kept down by her mother,
so reduced to perfect rule, that the re
suit was most depressing on her. char
acter and happiness. She came to
preside over the Beecher household
upon the death of the mother, a charge
which she undertook, and carried out
with characteristic care and prudence
A "couple from Kniglitstown, Ind.,
arrived here Friday night on midnight
freight for the purpose of being coup
led. The ceremony was performed by

It is evident that every city in the
country , Chicago included, will have a
number in fact, a large number of
caves of violations of the civil rights
bill. Foar or ive suits have been al
ready commenced here, and others
will undoubtedly follow. In view of
this, it is well to understand the law,
and to inquire if parties can afford to
disregard it. It is proposed to test its
eoBetitationalitj, but this ' will take
some time, and meanwhile the num
ber of eases will accumulate. Can our
hotel keepers, restaurateurs, and
amusement proprietors afford to take
the risks which some of them propose
to incur? Let. us see: The law pro
vides that for each violation of its pro
visions tike effe4iag party shall pay
f500 to the party aggrieved, and shall,
also be deemed guilty of a misdemean-
-or. and nroa conviction I-hall fe fined
not less than $506, nor more than $ 1,- i
UUU, or shall be imprisoned not loss
an thirty days, nor more than one
year Is it wise, then, to disobey the
law, trusting in the rather slim hope
that it may be declared unconstitu
tional? A test caee will be made; and
until then, is it net better that they
should isbtnk aa gracefully as possi
ble, instead of laying themselves open
to these heavy penalties? There can
be no excitement, no sentimental
splurge, no general indignation awak
ened in Chicago over this matter. The
gentlemen who are fined lor such of
fenses will be left to pay the sums
thsaiselves. There will be no dona
tions from a sympathetic public, and
no frightful waste of sympathy over
them. Men must eat, and if the law
were generally obeyed in Chicago,
there would be no falling off in busi
ness, and very little complaint over it.
Isdeed, we make the assertion .that
the opposition to the law does not
come from the patrons of these places,
but lrom the proprietors themselves.
Let them yield, and the trouble will
end at once. The opposition is ab
surd,-and if we may use a verytrite
and homely expression, those indulg
ing in it are "cutting off their own
noses to" spite their faces." The col
ored people are making application
for places in the theaters and for
mea.l at the restaurants for two pur
poses: One is to test this Question.
and have their rights recognized. The
other is to secure a claim against the
keeper nsder the law. " They can't
make $500'qtricker than by suing for
it under the provision granting them
damages, acd nothing ean please some
ot them setter than a reiusal to obey
the statute. When their rights shall
be recognized applications will be al
most as rare as before; because, first,
no man able to pay for accommoda
tions desires to force himself on an
unwilling proprietor; and, secondly.
the pecuniary temptation will be lack-
ing, and nothing can be gamed by it.
W e venture to say that the proprie
tors complying with the law will be
far less annoyed than those refusing
such compliance, for tho obvious rea
sons mentioned above. Violations of
this law will prove a losing business.
and therefore as a simple matter of
policy, and without any discussion of
the justice of the matter, we advise
those concerned to cease their very
foolish opposition. If they desire to
test the constitutionality of the law,
they have secured an ample number
of cases already. Let them rest with
these until they know the result. In

Mr. Hodges, superintendent of tree-
rilanting on one of the chief railroad
ines of Minnesota, made au address
recently to the Minnesota State Agri
cultural Society, from which we lake
the following:
"Twenty-five years hence, with a
million or more of population, our
pineries exhausted, the Hig Woods
preHy well thinned out, the Missis
sippi dryiDg up, St. Paul and Minne
apolis three or four hundred miles
above the head of steamboat naviga
tion, mercury lorty degrees below
zero, and the wind blowing a hurri
cane, is not the idle reverie of a dream
er. Destroying one hundred and fifty
thousand acres of forest annually, and
planting to supply this loss how
much? Can this society answer? Can
the State of Minnesota.' If you can,
the answers are in order now, for even
now the grasshopper has become " a
burden, and the mourners go about
the streets. The frontier settlers of
our treeless regions are twisting up
prairie grass for fuel, burning prairie
sods, and grubbing out old stumps
and roots, doing their best to extract
sufficient warmth therefrom to pre
vent their wives and little ones from
freezing alas! not always succeeding.

Pinchback.
Washington, March 14.
The indications all point to the
Senate reaching a vote on Pinchback'a
case on Tuesday, in accordance with
the agreement made in the Republi
can caucus on Thursday last, though
to accomplish this the Senate will
have to sit later to morrow than usual.
Senator Morton said to-night that the
vote will be a close one, and that
while Pinchback was hopeful, there
appeared to be a small majority against
him. On the Republican side. Sena
tors Boutwell, Logan, Howe, and
Alcorn intend to speak in favor of the
resolution, and perhaps one or two
others, while, as many of the Demo
cratic Senators will claim the floor to
speak on the other side. Senator
Andrew Johnson has not fully made
up his mind whether to say anything
on the Louisiana question this session
or not, but has prepared himself, so
that he may be ready to do so if a fa
vorable opportunity is presented. Mr.
Morton has abandoned all idea of call
ing up. the resolution reccgnizing
Kellogg for action this session, being
convinced that a point of order would
be made as to its consideration, and
sustained by the majority of the Sen-ste.-

j We mean bo liquor hw, as will be
seen oy tne tol lowing which we cut
from the Daily Sentinel of March 17:
"The new liquor law repeals the law
formerly in operation, and at the same
time provides that "no prosecution
shall be instituted or maintained
against any person for the violation of
the provisions f this act occurring
between the time when it shall take
effect and the close of the first reeular

1 of the proper county, the beginning of
which session not taking place in less
time than four weeks after this act
shall have taken effeas." The inter
I pretation of this clause has already
I een the subject of considerable dis
cussion, and it is the opinion of sev
eral legal gentlemen, among them
some who were instrumental in draw
ing up the bill, that in effect there i-i
no liquor law in force throughout the
state, nor will there be for four weeks
after the time the governor signed the
license law. There is, as it were, an .
interregnum of a month. The design
of this open space between the active
operation of the old and new laws is
simple. It was thought that it would
require some four weeks for the intel
ligence of the passage of the new law
and the knowledge of its provisions to
puss throughout the state. In. the fc
mean time it would be unjust to ren
der dealer who were acting under the
provisions of the Baxter bill liable to
prosecution for selling in accordance "
with the terms of a statute which had v
been repealed and replaced by another
of whose provisions they were igno

be now absolutely without any liquor
law at all, and will remain so for thir- . ..
