Although she seems to control the pursestrings, Mr. Chamberlain is by no means a henpecked husband. He is a man that would attract attention anywhere as a Hue type ot the patrician. He is not a bril liant personage and never found it necessary to practice his profession of the law to any great extent, out he's a gentleman and a scholar. _ THE CUBAN INSURGENTS. Mr. Beecher’s salary Is $20,000 per annum. He av erages to receive double this sum from his lec tures, and a large additional from his pen. He is not rich, however. He keeps open house (with hisson, with u’hoip he resides), and gives, loans, Indorses and docs other unbuslucss-llko things constantly at a heavy cost to his treasury. It Is said that beyond his farm at rcckskill, the house and stock thereon, and his library ami bric-a-brac there and at Brooklyn, the great word painter has nothing to show for hi* large income for each of very many years.
