in his possession that relate in any way to
the case.
Tilton say8 Moulton won’t testify be

Tiltou Don't Beeofnlie the Code
aud Will Forgive Anything.
The full report of Tilton’s cross exam
ination makes ten columns in the Tribune,
to which the Associated Press is indebted
for advance sheets in testimony. The
following question and answer occurs :
“Is it your sentiment that that is an
offence for which one man can apologize
to another ?”
“I know there is a code of honor
among gentlemen that a man cannot oon
done such au offense; but 1 can not see
what offence a man can not forgive.”
Mra. Cady Stanton aid Snsan B. An
thony Have n Sny.
Brooklyn, July 28.—An Argus re
porter has had an interview with Mrs.
Elizabeth Cudy Stanton, who states that
while Mrs. Bullard was still connected
with the Revolution, Susan B. Authony,
Mr. and Mrs. Tilton, Mrs. Ballard and
myself wore in Brooklyn together. It
was afternoon, and after calling at the
office of the Revolution, Mr. Tilton and
myself accompanied Mrs. Bullard to her
residence and remained to dinner.
Through some misunderstanding Miss
Anthony went with Mrs. Tilton and dined
with her instead of ns. There was some
feeling ou the part of Mrs. Tilton in re
gard to this, although it was quite unin
tentional on my part. Well, at the table
no one was present but Mrs. Ballard, Mr.
Tiltou aud myself. Theodore told the
whole i-tory of his wife’s faithlessness,
As I before observed, he did not go into
details, but Tho sum And Rubstance of the
whole matter he related in the hoaring of
Mrs. Bullard and myself—we were re
formers—he gave us the story as a phase
of sooial life. The next evening, hearing
that Miss Anthony was a little piqued at
mo for leaving her on the day before, I
returned to my home in Tenafly ; to my
surprise, I found Susan awaiting my ar
rival. That evening, when we were alone,
I said to her: “Theodore related a very
strange story to Mrs. Bullard and me last
evening.” Then I recounted to her all
that he had told ns. Miss Anthony lis
tened attentively till the end; then she
said, “I have heard the same story from
Mrs. Tilton.” We compared notes, and
found that by both man and wife the
same story had indeed been told.
When Mr. Tilton returned home that
evening, some angry words, growing out
of the separation in the afternoon passed
between him and his wife, and both be
came intensely excited. In the heat of
passion, and in the presence of Miss An
thony, each confessed to the other that
they had broken the marriage vow. In
the midst of this startling disclosure,
Miss Anthony withdrew to her room.
Shortly after sho heard Mrs. Tilton come
dashing up the stairs, and Mr. Tilton fol
lowing closely after. She flung a pen
into her bedroom door and then Elizabeth
rushed in and the door was then olosed
and bolted. Theodore pounded on the
outside and demanded admittance, but
Miss Anthony refused to turn the key.
So intense was his passion at that mo
ment that she feared he might kill his
wife if he gained access to the
room; several times, hejreturned to the
door, and angrily demanded that it be
opened. No woman shall stand between
me and my wife, he said ; but Susan, who
in as courageous as she is noble, answered
him with the words : “If yon enter thiH
room it will be over my dead body,” and
so the infuriated man ceased his demands
and withdrew. Mrs. Tilton remained with
Susan through tho night, and in the ex
citement of the hour, amid sobs and tears,
she told all to Miss Anthony—tbe whole
story of her own faithlessness, of Mr.
Beecher's course, of her deception and of
her anguish, fell upon the ears of Susan
B. Anthony, and were spoken by the lips
of Mrs. Tilton. The next morning Mr.
Tilton told Susan never to enter his house
again. She told him she should enter it
whenever she chose, bat I believe she did
not go there again.

cess after the recess.
PRESSINGS.
—Seme fifteon years ago a peddler dis
appeared in tho vicinity of Palestine, lud.,
aud a certain family was suspected of hit
murder. A few days ago a quarrel occur
red in this family, and in tho heat of pas
sion the murdered peddler was alluded to,
and it was said boues were still to be found
on the farm. The remark got to the pub
lic ear, a search was made, and some
bones were fouud.
—The patent oash boxes now naed in
the stages and on some of tbe street oars
coat the companies $100 apiaoe, the profit
to the inventor being about $80. The bell
pouches used on the Broadway oar line
are not sold, but a daily feo is paid to the
inventor for their use. Every conductor
is required to deposit $25 when a punch
is placed in hia hands as security for ita
safe return.
—While New York haa been sweltering
under 100 degrees Newfoundlanders com
plain of cold, chilling fogs whioh have en
veloped land and sea all through the
month of June, and which lifts occasion
ally to show them scores of gleaming ice
bergs gliding ghost-like along the snore.
Two of the icebergs took position recent
ly at tho entrance of St. John's harbor,
where they remained for a fortnight.
Bottle Hill, once a rich mining re
gion of California, was located in a way
sad for a temperance man to reflect npon.
A party on a prospecting tour reaohed the
elevation while one of them was finishing
the contents of the last whiskey bottle.
The observer expressed a determination
not to go any further. The ground pros
pected rich, and the party had no reason
to regret the giving out of the whiskey.
—A Boston physician thinks that the
process of kneading bread is decidedly
objectionable at auy time, but in warm
weather, when the perspiration is in con
stant flow, it is the undoubted means of
introducing into bread impurities and the
seeds of positive disease. The oleaner
the akin the more copious the perspira
tion. The physician docs not suggest any
other mode of bread making.
—There was an incident in the life of
Edmund Tucker, of Mount Zion, 111., an
alleged criminal, recently, which verges
on the heroic. He had been arrested for
bigamy and taken to Deoutur for exatni-
tion. His son, aged about twelve, start
ed home with the team, but was run away
with and had both arms broken. Tucker
learned of the mishap, and determined to
go to the aid of his child; but the consta
ble objected. It was now a question be
tween obedience to law and the demands
of parental affeotion, and Tucker did not
hesitate. Drawing a revolver, he covered
the constable and backed to his horse,
whioh he mounted, saying he would re
turn next day and give himself up. He
went, attended to his boy, and singularly
enough returned and surrendered himself
according to promise.
—The Rev. Father O’Keefe, paator of
the Church of St. Agues, in Avon New
York, has been arrested on an aoousation
of swindling one of his parishioners. Jno.
Toughy swears that the priest told him
that by investing his money iu real estate
or railroad bonds it would yield a larger
rate of interest than it would by being
left in the bank, and for the purpose of
having such investment made he paid it
over. Afterward he was unable to get
either bonds or money, and when, a few
days ago, Father O'Keefe was about to
start for Europe, he had him arrested.
The priest says tho money was given to
him by Tonghy to be invested in a new
church, and that it was a loan to the
ohurcb, aud not to him personally.
—Two hundred years will have elapsed
next May since the death of William Black-
stone, the first settlor of the Blaokstone
Valley, now a great manufacturing centre
of New England. Before settling in
Rhode Island, Blaokstone was the first
and solitary inhabitant of Boston, or tbe
Peninsula of Shawmut, on which Boston
was afterward founded. His grave is near
Lonisville station, R. I., almost neglect
ed, and marked only by two rude atones,
such as occasionally puzzle the wanderer
in the fields and woods of New England,
indicating, as they generally do, the rest
ing place of an early settler.
-—Little Johnny B., of Fourteenth st.,
Washington, wanted to go to Dr. Bntler’s
church, lately. His mother was afraid he
would make a noise, but his father said,
“Johnny knows better than to make a
noise in church.” So he went. He kept
very still till the last prayer. By that
time he had grown tired of sitting still
and was standing on the pew cushion
with his back to the pulpit. When the
lady in the next seat bowed her head for
prayer Johnny thought she was crying.
He leaned over and said to the lady in a
tone that was meant for a whisper, but
which was only too plainly heard: “Poor
lady! What ee matter ? Do oo stummit
ache?”
—A man who had been cruel to a horse
was oonvicted in Little Shasta, Califor
nia. The jury fixed the fine at one dol
lar, and the Justice followed with a
speech. “This man’s boon tried four
times geotlemcn of the jury,” he said,
and you’re the first twelve that’s had sense
enough to fiud him guilty. But what un
der heavens did you make jackasses of
yourselves for by putting the fine at ono
dollar, after you’d done au average de
cent thing. Taint any of your business
anyway what he’s fined. I’ll look after
that myself. It’ll bo sixty dollars.”

-Complaisance renders a superior ami
able ; an equal agreeable, and an inferior
•ooeptable. It smooths distinction, sweet
ens conversation, and makes every one iu
the company pleased with himself. It
produces good nature and mutual benevo
lence, encourages tho timorous, soothes
the turbulent, humanizes tbo fierce, and
distinguishes a society of civilized persons
from a confusion of savagos.—Addison.

Prominent Incidents
IN THE
History of Columbus
From its First Settlement in 1827, to the
Wilson Raid, in 1805, compiled by John
H. Martin.
The undersigned proposes to publish, in a
volume of 150 or more pages, a work under
the above title, covering the period from the
selection of the locality for a “ trading town,*
in 1827, to the capture and partial destruction
of the city by the Wilson Raid, in 1865.
The incidents will be derived mainly from its
newspapers, which will be gleaned for this
purpose with much care. Jt is believed that
most of our citizens would like to have such
incidents in this compact and convenient form,
and will encourage the undertaking to the
extent of the small amount asked for the work
Finch chapter will contain short biographi
cal sketches or notices of the principal citizens
entioned in it, who have since died. The
volume will also embrace full information
concerning the churches, factories, dec., now
existing.
We do not propose to publish this compila
tion with a view to making money, as the
small price asked for U will show. But at
the same time we do not want to lose money
by its publication, and therefore we wish to
limit the number of copies printed to the de
mand for the work. With this object in view,
we issue this prospectus, inviting those who
desire copies of the volume to send in their
names.
The price will be one dollar per copy for
a pamphlet bound volume, printed on paper
like the specimen sheet issued. A tmaU
number of copies will also be issued on a su
perior article of paper for $1 30 per copy.
Payable when the work is delivered, which
will be some time next Fall.
