She said Mr. and Mrs. Tilton sent her to boarding-school, but nothing was ever said about her going away in connection with the charges against Mr. Beecher. A letter was then read, written by witness to Mrs. Tilton in January, 1871, stating that Mrs. Morse had endeavored to procure her to circulate 6tories injurious to Mr. Tilton, and also a second letter stating that the story that Mr. Tilton carried her from her bed was a wicked lie, which second note witness said was written at the urgent solicitation of Mrs. Tilton. Witness was cross-examined as to her statement before the cnurcn Examining Committee ad 6tated that she had made some mistakes in her story there which she herself had subsequently discovered. She would have then told all she had sworn to on the trial had she remem bered it at the time. She could not be cer tain as to exact dates of several occurrences sworn to here by her.- Up to the time she came on the stand she had told her story sub stantially to a stenographer, Mr. Shearman and Judge Porter; this was some time during the week of her first evidence on the witness stand; had previously told some of the par ticulars to Mrs. Ovington.

He said he had frequently seen Mr. Tilton at the house and also at the business ofllce of Mrs. Woodhull. He (Tilton) was at the office very often in the summer of 1871. .

A hundred miles from Delhi, at Agra, rises one or the lairest monuments of selfish love and of a cruel promise. The beautiful and beloved wife of Shah Jehan, the mightiest of earthly kings, died in 1631, nor could the wealth of In dia or the power of an absolute ruler save the life of the being most dear to the Grand Mogul, the fair Moon-tai-i-mahal. As she died she uttered the request that her husband would provide for her a suitable monument. Thoughtless and full of the common vanities of life she scarcely reflected that the execution of her wish must be paid for from the poor earnings of the mothers and daughters of Ilindostan; that tears would be shed in thousands of cottages; that children would be pinched and starved and the aged harassed and disheartened to pro vide for the cost of her marvelous tomb. Too seldom, indeed, do any of us look to tne result ox our actions, or are more careful than the dying Queen to limit our wishes by a philanthropic rule. In his passionate grief Shah Jehan pressed on the building of a mausoleum to his consort with a barbaric indifference to the sufferings of his people. Twenty thousand laborers, it is said, were em ployed upon the work for twenty years. All India trroaned with toil and taxation. The Taj Mahal, for so the toiab is called, rose at last to a wonderful perfection. It is the most beautiful and the richest of all the testimonials oL a selfish aflec- tion to its lost object, the finest archi tectural device of sorrow, love and death. A garden, as is usual in most Oriental palaces and tombs, . sur rounds the spot where sleeps the Eastern Queen; the cypress waves, the orange, th lemon, the banyan and the palm spread their foliage around ; foun tains play along every avenue, and glitter in the air ; and-all the charms of Shiraz and Cashmere are said to be imitated if not surpassed in the gardens of Taj Ma hal. . In the midst of the solemn beauty of the natural decorations in front of the great gate, and looking down upon the sacred Jumna, springs up the mausoleum itself. A platform of shining marble, one minaret at each corner . of wonderful loveliness, and .the central shrine crowned with its glittering crescent 200 feet high; are wrought into that rare per fection of form and decoration which to only Hindoo craftsmen could attain. The marble, the gold, the precious stones are melted into fruits and flowers and woven into designs that surpass the labors of the encu or the dreams of poetrv. 1 et it s within, beneath the central minaret, in a cnam per richer ana grander man royal .palace 4iver knew, that the Oriental fancy finds its chief display. The marble-latticed windows lend a pensive light, the floors are sown with jewels, and the cenotaph of the fair and feeble mortal for whom all this wasteful toil was given rises like an apparition of beauty behind the lace-work of a marble screen. Yet in all this rich effect of Oriental fancy one misses perhaps the stronger traits of Western genius. A single figure on the mausoleum of Hali carnassus, cloven by the powerful chisel of Scopas, must surpass it all, and all the wealth and power of Shah Jehan could not awake the immortal fire that glows in the friezes of Phidias. Eugene Law rence, in Ilarpcr't Magazine for March. ' Remarkable Case of Mistaken Identity. Recently a case was tried in the County Court which grew out of a re markable similarity in the appearance of two men. The plaintiff was Mr. An thony Schwab. lie sued Lester It. Smith, proprietor of the Phoenix Hotel, in Pitts ford, for damages for assault and bat tery. Hit. Schwab is a butcher, in part nership with John Englehardt. The two men are very mnch alike in general ap pearance, style, dress and the way they talk, both being Germans, talking broken English. The difference between the two men is easily distinguished when they are seen together, but the difficulty of telling one from the other is apparent when seen separate. Mr. Englehardt, it appears, borrowed a halter from Mr. Smith, the defendant, and failed to re turn it. Some time afterward Mr. Smith met Mr. Schwab. The latter had Inc same wagon that Mr. .Englehardt had. and Mr. Smith, imagining that he was Mr. Englehardt, asked him for the halter that he had borrowed. Mr. Schwab of course denied that he had ever Dorrowed any halter, and Mr. Smith asserted posi lvely that he had.

Southern Folly, r The Cincinnati Commercial 8nd Louis ville Courier-Journal, which have been squabbling focsome time past about lot teries and things that were of no special interest outside the respective newspa per offices, have now locked horns upon a question which has a general interest The 6ubiect-matter in dispute is substan tially as follows: The Commercial took the ground in the course of the contro versynhat the Southern people were con ouere'd; that there were people in the South who Were not rebels ; that the rebel faction has been dealt with most generously by the National Government; and that as the conquerors the uovern ment had thj right to prescribe certain conditions, among them the constitution al amendments, which would reduce the chances of future rebellions. The Cou-rier-Jovrnal in reply incloses about a dozen lines of answer in a column of irrelevant personality, and this answer includes two sta'ements: first, "the South was a unit during the war, and the rebels did and the ex-rebels do own it;" and, second, .! the South had a rec ognized constitutional right of property in man." This right might have been annulled with respect to the fighting rebels, but its abrogation as to old men, infants and women, as to minors and non combatants, "was such an act of confis cation as the world has not known with in two centuries." This is the substance of the quarrel as it now stands. The Chicago T ribune has no disposition, to interfere with others' quarrels, but as tbe matter at issue is of general interest the Tribune, as a specta tor, can make what comments it sees fit. The Commercial has the Courier-Journal in chancery. The statement of the latter that the South was a unit in the rebell- ion is simply absurd and only shows that its editor has not yet recovered from the insanity which urged him into the , re bellion and drove him to take up arms in defenso of human slavery, in which he had no financial interest and in which he only acted as an agent or tool of the slaveholders. Has he forgotten how many Union men there were in Ken tucky, Missouri, West Virginia and Mary land? Does he not know of the suffer- ogs of Union men and women in Eastern Tennessee, in certain districts of North Carolina and Texas, and in the mountain regions of Georgia and Alabama! Does he not know that fully one-third, perhaps one-half, of the fighting rebels were not in favor of the disunion cause for which they were fighting; that they were driven into rebellion by slave-owners and dema gogues who did not go themselves, and that it was less ruinous for them to go into the army than it was to 6tay out of it? If he does not then he has net stud ied the facts of the war of the rebellion sufficiently to qualify him to discuss with the Commercial or any other paper upon tne real character ol that war upon the Southern Bide. The second statement of the Courier- Journal that " this right might have been annulled with respect to the righting rebels, but its abrogation as to infants and women, as to minors and non-combatants, was such an act of confiscation as the world has not known within two centuries," is quite as absurd as its first, and shows that this editor knows as lit tle about the condition of the fighting material of the Southern army as he does about the Union sentiment among the Southern white people. The fight ing rebels were not slaveholders, except a small minority. The vast mass of the Southern army was composed of poor whites and young men forced into it for social reasons, who owned no slaves and had no interest in them. The Southern rebellion was fought by those who had been coerced into the ranks, by those whose feelings had been inflamed by the slaveholders and demagogues. The planters themselves, as a rule, stayed at home, but forced to the front the men who had no slaves to fight for and no griefs against the" Union. Those who ost their time, their labor and their ives, and whose families suffered, were the tools of the stay-at-home secession slaveholders. Had the emancipation of slaves "been confined to those who were fighting in the rebel ranks nt slaves to speak of would have been emancipated, as very few of: them ever owned a slave. If there is any Northern animus against the South it is . not against those poor fellows who fought in the field, but against those who stayed at home and took no risks, but forced them to the battle and the slaughter. The Courier-Journal has no right to complain in the premises. These stay-at-homes have been most generously treated. Not one of them has been punished as he de served to be. Not one of them has sui fered confiscation of property except of the human kind, which, as the Commer cial very truthfully says, has been a blessing to the South, as " a free man, black or white, is worth more to any country than a slave." The lenity of the North toward the South has been a mar vel to all other civilized .nations, which have never hesitated to punish rebellion, always with confiscation, and often with death. Instead of that no slaveholder has been deprived of life, liberty or suffrage for his high crime of treason and rebellion. On the contrary, they have been permitted to resume the political control of thirteen of the fifteen ex-slave States. In the face of such facts the complaint of ill-treatment comes with a very bad grace even from the Courier Journal. Chicago Tribune. Significance of the Finger. Each finger, and the mount at the base of it, is named after a planet. In ihe normal hand the second finger is the longest, and this third the next in length, while the first is nearly as long as the third and much,longer than the fourth or little finger'Jupiter is the first finger; It 11 Ut) 1' Ug U11U. IJUI llj-suniJcu, and the mount af the base be well developed, it indicates a noble and lofty character and a religious-minded person. If dispropor tionately long, it will mean different thiDgs according to the type of the hand in which it may" be found; or according to the type of that particular finger. In the first type an over-long first finger would denote an inclination to the fan tastic or exaggerated in religious matters ; or it might, perhaps, mean religious madness; or, if other signs in the hand favored this view, it could be taken to denote pride. Pride is a form of worship the culture of self. In the second type of hand the excessive 'development of Jupiter might mean ambition, o?, if it were in a hand that is eminently unselfish, it might stand for a something that i9 puritanical in manners or morals a type of too great a severity. In the third type a very long first finger would probably signify vanity. - The second finger is Saturn. If too prominent it announces melancholy, or misanthropy, or downright cruelty, according to tbo type of hand, but if the finger be within due proportion this sadness may take the form of pity for others, or it may mean a becoming gravity.

' " Opportunityslike game birds, hav got to be taken on' the wing. Josh Billingi, in N. Y. Weekly. - Something Like a Cat. "Talking about cats," said Uncle Tim, a regular Yankee, "puts me in mind of a cat I once owned. Let me tell you about her. She was a Maltee, and what that cat didn't know wasn't worth know- in'. Here's one thing she did: In the spring of '46 I moved into the little old house on the Croofced River. We put our provisions down in the cellar, and the first night we made our beds on the floor. But we didn't sleep. ,No sooner had it come dark than we heard a tearin' and a squeakin' in the cellar that was awful. I lit the candle and went down. Jerusalem! Talk about rats! I never saw such a sight in my born days. Every inch of the cellar bottom was covered with them. They ran up to me and all over me. I jumped back into the room and called the cat. She came down and looked. I guess she sat there about ten minutes looking at them rats, and I was waitin' to see what she would do. By and by she 6hook her head, and turned and went up-stairs. She didn't care to tackle 'em. That night, I tell you, there wasn't much sleep. In the mornin' I could not find her. She'd .gone. 1 guess the rats had frightened her, and, to tell the plain truth, I didn't wonder much. Night came again, and the old cat hadn't come. Sajs Betsy Ann (that's my wife) to me, 'Tim, leave this place: the rats'll eat us up.' Says I, Just let the old cat be.' I didn't be lieve she'd left us for good and all. Just as Betsy Ann was puttin' the children to bed we heerd a scratchin' and wauhn at the outside door. I went ano opened it and there stood old Maltee on the door step, and behind her a whole army of cats, all paraded as regular as any sol diers. I let our old cat in, and the others followed her. She went right to the cellar-door and scratched there. I began to understand. Old -Maltee had been out for help. I opened tbe way to the cellar ; she marched down, and the other cats tramped after her in regular order and as they went past I counted fifty-six of 'em! Oh, my! if there wasn't a row angr a rumpus in that 'ere cellar that night, then I'm mistaken ! The next morning the old cat came up and caught hold of my trowsers leg and pulled me toward the door. I went down to see the sight Talk about your Bunker Hill and Boston massacres! Mercy! I never saw such a sight before nor since. Betsy Ann and me, with my boy Sammy,' were all day as hard at work as we could be clearing the dead rata out of tbaJ 'ere c.ellar. Its a fact every word of it." ' - The Figures.

" Here," Bays a Paris'fasliion corre spondent, ' is a bonnet which 1 saw at the Bois a day or twJ ago. It was of white felt, as all fashionable bonnets now are. The crown was high and pointed, a la Tyrol, and the brim straight, wide and flat. In fact in shape- it was like those hideous hats worn by all En glish lady tourists latt autumn. The felt was unedged. A long, white plume fell on one side of the crown over the brim and the interior was filled in by a wreath of flowers. The whole was worn at the back of the head. All elderly ladies have their bonnets covered with a mantilla of thick black lace, or black crepe lis3e, edced with bugle lace.
