I A PaOTEST from ELIZABETH.?Mrs. I Tilton oreated something of a sensation I in tho Brooklyn City Court on Monday. Whoa tho "Court nod boon formally opened und tho jury culled, she roso up, and, addressing Judge Neilson, asked him to havo the communication, which she was about to submit to him, read aloud. The note was passed to the Judge, who read it, and remarked "that this matter would bo considered." Tho following iB the letter: Bbooklyn, May 3, 1875." Juuoe Neilson: I ask the privilege lrom you for u few words in my own behalf. I feol very deeply the injustice of my position in the law nnd beforo the Court now sitting. Yet sinco your last decision I have been bo sensible of the power of my enemies that my soul cries out before you and tho gentlemen of tho jury that they beware how, by a divided verdict, taoy consign to my children a false and irrevocable stain upon their mother. For five yearn past I have been the victim of circumstances most cruel and unfortunate. Struggling from timo to timo only for a place to live honorably and truthfully, released for some months from the will by whose power uncon? sciously I criminated myself again and again, I declare solemnly bclore you, without fear of mivn anil by faith in God, that 1 am innocent of tho crime charged against me. I would like to tell* my whole sod story truthfully; to ac? knowledge tho falsehoods wrung from mo by compulsion, though at the same timo unwilling to reveal the socrots of my married life, which only tho vital importance of my position makes neces? sary. I assume the entire responsibility of this request, which is unknown to tho friends or counsel of either side, and await your honor's honorable decision. With great respect, ELIZABETH R. TILTON. Tho Judge declined to read it to the jury. He. tells hor, in a letter, that the statuto of May 10, 1867, expressly de? clares the wife to be an incompetent wit? ness for or against her h unhand. Falbe Theobies Ovr.nTHnowN.?We live under a new medical dispensation, very different from that under which so many of our forefathers died. The sick aro no longer bled till they faint, nor gorged with mercury, nor prostrated with violent cathartics, nor blistered on their shaven heads. Ever sinco tho in? troduction of Hostetter's Stomach Bit? ters, twenty years ago, renovation and restoration, not depletion and prostra? tion, havo been the watch-words of the judicious portion of the profession. The remarkable success of this famous vege? table preventive, invigoront and correc? tive has worked a complete revolution in tho general treatment of disease. At first, the dogmatic members of the faculty would not believe in it "What!" they exclaimed, "euro liver complaint with? out mercury, chronic rheumatism with? out Colchicum, fever and aguo without, quinine! Impossible!" But the most obstinate incredulity must yield in the end to practical demonstration. From that time to the present, dyspepsia, biliousness, intermittent fevers, muscu? lar diseases, nervous complaints and constipation havo vanished under tho operation of the great specific, in at least ninety per cent of tho coses in which it has been used as a remedy for those ail? ments; while as a preventive of all mala? dies generated by change of climate, sudden revulsions of temperature, epi? demic poison iu the atmosphere, und un? wholesome water, its beneficial effects have been ho obvious and uniform as to secure the most perfect confidence in its properties as an antidote, safeguard and cure. M7 |3'. l Barbaha Fritchie.?Barbara Fritchie can hardly rest comfortably in her tomb. Sho should materialize and make a state? ment The recently published affidavit of an army officer vouching for the truth of Whittier's lines concerning Barbara Fritchie, how tho old lady heroically seized and held aloft the flag struck down by order of Stonewall Jaokson, when tho Confederate troops marched through Fredericksburg in 1862, has revived the discussion of the story, and the fact has been made pretty certain that tho poet has woven his ueautiful patriotio rhapsody out of "airy air." A lady historian of Baltimore fs now engaged in the prepa? ration of a Maryland biographical histo? ry, and Whittier's heroine, of course, engaged her attention. Unlike Whittier, she doubted the story, inquired and analyzed, and obtained indisputable evidence I of its falsity. Jacob Engel breoht, an old citizen of Frederick, greatly respected for his integrity, once Mayor of the city, and notably an oracle in the matter of dates and occurrences, ho having for many years kept a diary of events, testifies that nothing of tho kind ever happened; that he lives directly op? posite Mrs. Barbara Fritchie's home, and, the old lady'herself nevor thought of the inoidont until she read the poem. An? other witness is Saranal Tyler, Esq., a nativo of Fredoriok, well known for his, varied literary accomplishments) and as tho author of tho lifo of Chief' Justico Taney. He has' covofnlly investigated tho subject, too, and calls the story Pure flotion. ? ?? ? ' ' - ' -HXJ-? *w ' ?' Philosophers say that shutting the eyes makes the -hearing'more acute. Porhaps this is the reason some people close their eyes ir\ church during the preaching. An Accommodatiko Editob.?A lee^h editor in Pokin, 111., introduced/hii&$j$ to the public,' a' fow days since, as Tol lows: ''Sensational, distressing dotoilK of revolting murders and shocking suicides respootfally solicited.

Prompt-paying subscribers and good ad? vertisers, when stricken with mortal ill? ness, will be cheerfully interviewed, when lying at death's door, with a view to obtaining obituary items; and the greatest pleasure will be taken in expos? ing your private affairs to the critical gaze of an interested public. The following story is picturesquely told by the Boston Saturday Evening Ga? zette: "A lady truvoling from New York to Boston, a short time ago, took her seat in a drawing-room car, the only occu? pants of which wore two gentlemen. One was smoking, the other held a fresh and unlightod cigar just ready to apply tho match. The fair traveler did not like the odor of smoke, and calmly remarked aloud that this was the drawing-room car, and they would please find the! smoking-car forward, for the smoko was very offensive to her. The gentlemen removed the obnoxious weeds, but looked extremely serious about it, and had a word or two with the conductor when that functionary entered. He mildly re? quested tho lady to step into another car, but she was comfortably seated and declined to move. By and by, other gentlemen appeared and addressed the. would-be smoker as 'Mr. President,' and when at last some one let drop the mys? tic, word 'Grant,' the obtuse but well meaning dame recognized her company, and summoning the conductor, sought another car." Jennie Collins, in commenting on bodio statements of a half-informed doctor, says: "We have not one woman too many in Massachusetts; in the next place, they are more healthy than men, and both facts can be proved by tho re? port of tho citv hospital, which received 2,08U*nieu, and in the same period only 1,113 woiden, although they are double in number, with half tho pay. The next error of Dr. Amos, is the statement that manufacturing and kindred trade crafts are injurious to health und morals in a greater degree than other modes of life. This is contradicted by tho vecords at the State House, that will bear testimony that out of 150,000 women, only one in seventy-five chargeable to the State for support in sickness or old age, is from factories or shops. As for their morals, another rocord will show that out of the appalling number of poor girls who ore led away from rectitude and seek redress from tho State, very nirely one comes from the factory or work-shop. A signi? ficant fact for themselves and their sur? roundings." A San Francisco statesman has accom? plished what the Brahmins failed to do. A banquet was given Gen. George Crook in San Francisco on the evening of tho 12th ult, and Unitod States Senator Sargent, of California, responding to the customary toast in honor of the Presi? dent of the United States, made the fol? lowing statement: "I know from his own lips that he looks with anxiety for the speedy end of his service. In a re? cent conversation ho said to mo, T had no rest during the war; I had none under tho succeeding Administration ? only anxiety and responsibility; I have had no rest during the past six years; I have two more years of this labor to comes.'" If.?The Boston Herald pokes fun at the President about that little speech which ho had prepared, and in which it was hoped he would announce that in no ease would ho become a candidate for a third term. Tho mishaps which pre? vented its delivery are narrated with some humor by the Herald, which con eludes that "if the day had been longer, if the Concord platform had been stronger, if the Lexington procession hod been on time, if the President had not been lost for an hour or two, the third term bugbear would have been ex? ploded, and we should have peace. It is truly wonderful, tho variety and ingenuity of the conveniences for the desk and office?pens of varied' patterns, inkstands possessing numberless ad? vantages, letter files, each one the best, envelopes of sizo and qualities infinite. It is almost bewildering to enter the largo Broad street store of Walker, Evans A Cogswell, in Charleston, and see tho number of these attractions. Here you find the largest stationery stock South of Baltimore, and you only have two troubles?first, sufficient cosh; and, second, the difficulty in deciding among tho many things offered, each equally suitable to your wants. M7f Perhaps tho worst sign, as regards the guilt of Beeoher, is tho declination of his lawyers to put Mrs. Tilton upon the stand, after the counsel for Tilton hud offered to waivo any legal objection they might havo interposed against her testi? mony. Tho only conclusion to bo drawn is, that Mr. Beecher does not doro to havo her go upon the stand, lest her tes? timony should be invalidated by tho tes? timony of Miss Susan B.

Youthful MtnttiBltES*. ?A murder was committed Saturday morning, in the North-western portion of Fuirficld. A colored girl, nged twelve years, who had for some time past been compelled to nurse the infant child of her sister, took the infant, carried it to MoLuro's creek, divested it of clothing, threw it into a hole and drowned it. Search was insti? tuted for the lost infant, and upon the assertion of one of the by-standers that lie could put breath into"the infant, the girl confessed her crime and showed the place whore itr had been committed. Fault is found with' the Presidont for wearing n. nhoiVking bad hat at Concord and Lexington, and complaint is made that Secretary Fish wore a ihuning ban? danna on his throat. . A President may appoint his every living relative to office, and give ovory old criminal in tho coun? try a chance, but when he appears in a crowd of American citizens wearing a de? cayed hat, and in company with a man displaying a red handkerchief, he is no longer tit for the exalted position to which a mysterious Providence has ele? vated him. An Oshkosh despatch says it is re? ported that the proprietors of Morgan's mills, the first building consumed in the late fire, has sued the proprietors of Spahling A Peek's mills for damages for the destruction of their property, which caught fire from a spark from Spalding A Peak's mills. It is customary for all mills to shut down on windy days, to avoid fire. Spalding A Peck were asked to shut down, but refused, and tho con? flagration was the result. If the trial proves successful, numerous others will follow. A countryman sauntered into a hotel, vesterday, sat down by the stove, spread his lobstor-hued paws out around tho periphery of t ho gas-burner like a shadow on the wall. When he got pretty well thawed out ho "riz" up, surveyed the room, and said: "That was a mighty brief summer we had." The inimitable rtoborness aud earnestness of the speaker added much to the effect of this terse epigrammatic observation. [ VituxvilU Herald.

The man who gets that woman for a wife may count on having an interesting spell. A caveat for a novel invention has been filod at the Patent Office.
