BEECR Cy R IS THR IM TENEIJ
WITH A BI LA WSUIT,
The "Llfo of Christ," which was Thrown
"Higher than a Kito," by Theodore
Tilton's Virtuous Indignation, now
Bids Fair to Cost tho Plymouth Pas
tor a Round Sum of Money.
Tie following spicy account of a
now trouble that has como, or threat,
ons to como, upon the loverrend
Henry Ward Beecher, is given by
the New York Nun :
Beecher's "Life of Christ," it will
bo romombored, wont up liko a
kito.
Thle other day it came back like a
boomerang.
In brief, Beecher is called uon
to pay back $10,000 and the royalty
thus far received, and damages to
the amount of $100,000 will be do
manded from him.
Such was the emphatic bombshell
which burst in Brooklyn tho other
afternoon.
It appears that in 1868 Beecher
entered into contract with Messis.
J. B. Ford & Co. to writo a hfo of
Christ in two volumes. He was to
have $10,000 cash down, and a cer.
tain royalty besides on every volumo
sold. It was stipulatod that he
should begin at once, and go on
finishing the work in eighteen
months, or as soon as soon thoreaf.
ter as practic.ble.
Boecher began to write, and the
Fords spent monoy lavishly in pie
turos, engravings, presses, paper
and composition.
Orders flooded the mail bags.
It looked as though fortunes wore
to bo iado oil the instant.
Thon Beecher lagged.
Copy didn't como to hand.
Money was spunt in car fare, sta
tionery, postage stimps and shoe
leather to induco the reverond au,
thor to hurry up.
The first volumo was finishod, and
sold well.
But copy still lagged.
In other words, althouigh nearly
ton ye:rs aro passed and gone, the
second volume is only half written,
the publishers are in bankruptcy
an( litigation is on the table.
Mr. Ritter, the assignee, offered
to sell all the firm's effects, among
which was the "Life of Christ." A
man, then unknown, authorized the
assignee to pay $2,500 for tho work
at privato sale. On consultation
with the registrar in bankruptcy,
the assigneo ascertained that he had
no power to sell it privately. Then
he was authorized to bid up to that
figuro at a sale by auction.
The parties naturally interested
in securing this prize were the
Fords, Boecher, and the Christian
Union P'ublishinig Company. The
Fords were not in a position to pur,
chase. Beecher was out of town,
anId was to) be out of town all week,
and Tommy Shearman, who repre
sented thme Pu blLiing Company,
failed to take any interest in the
matter. They all secmed to over
look thoe fact that the contract was
part and parcel of the assets to be
sold. It is unde(lrstood that one0
bright legal numinary decided that
Boeccher, was not responsible because
the Fords had failed to pub11lish, but
that was knocked a groat deal high
or than tihe kite by the mild
remark thart even the Fords couldn't
very wel1l publish what had not yet
been written. Another sage coun
selor insisted that the statutes cf
limitation would protect B3eecher,
but the fact, nevertheless, remained
that thme contract was a sealed in~
strumenut, and, therefore, binding
for twventy years.
Meanwhile time wasm gliding swift.
ly, and the day of the sale drew
near.
Not so any of the tribe of Becoherr
The desks, and chairs, and sofas
were sold, and presently, "HIow
much am I offered for 'The Life of
Christ 1' " asked the auctioneer.
"What goes with it ?" asked an
elderly man in spes, with a double
chin, a Pickwickian atomach, and
India rubber shoes.
"All the publishing parap)hernalia,
books, plates, pictures and
contract," replied the auctioneer.
"And how much does the gentleman
bid ?"
"One thousand dollars,", said
Pickwick.
"One thousand dollars I Oh,
shame I Oh, fie I One thousand
dollars for Henry Ward Beecher'r
'Life of Christ' Oh, gentlemen,
this won't do. Come now, my
frionds. Rally round the stand,
boys; rally once again. What do
you offer ? What do I hear 7"
' One thousand dollars," was the
cahn reply.
"Upon my word. Well, gentle
mon, down sho goos. One thousand
dollars, once, twico, third and last
oall--$1,000 for the Lifo of Christ
to Mr. -
"Mr. Cash."
"Oh I ahl! Call in to-morrow, pay
your bill, and settle at the desk,
sir."
And that was the stopping stone
that led to the subsequent court of
justice.
Mr. Cash called tho next day and
settled, and instantly placed his
paper in the hards of Mr. Beecher's
ancient opponent, ox-Judge William
Fullorton, with instructions to pro
cood at once and recover for him all
that the law provides.
The goutleman's other name is
Wright, but further information is
not yet offered on that subject.
Judge Fullerton simply knew him
as Mr. Wright. Mr. Ritter ad
dressed him respectfully as Mr.
Cash, and Ford & Co., in the com
pact person of their literary partner,
were sorry to say that they had no in,4
formation on the subject.
Judge Fullerton yesterday had the
contract placed ini a copyist's hands,
and when seen last ovening said :
"The whole matter is in a nutshell,
and is very sinple. Mr. Beocher
inade a contract ten years ago, and
failed to keop it. In spite of that,
lie obtained $10,000 from us, and
subsequont royalties, all of which,
with interest, ho must pay back,
besides compensating us for the
damnages we sustained."
"Dous Mr. Wright statnd precisely
as the original contractors stood I"
"Precisely. He had bought all
their right, title and interest in the
whole thing. The fact is, Boecher
is terribly to blame in the matter.
We have stacks of lotters from Ford
& Co., to Beecher, begging, implor.
img, bosoeching him to go on and
finish the work-"
"And he didn't ?"
"And he wouldn't."
"Is the contract valuable 7"
"It's worth a hundred thousand
dollars."
"Will you use your influence to
have hima finish the book ?"
"No. We won't allow him now.
He has been ten years fooling and
breaking his contract. He'd look
pretty to come up now and offer to
keep his agreement."
"When will you proceed ?"
"At once."
Judge Fullerton's client is repre
sentol as bound to get what he can,
from his lucky venture, and whom
rallied on his purchase of a played.
out contract, he laughingly replied
that, liko Mrs. Toodles, he might.
th,d out that it was a ve.ry handy
thing to have in the house.

colored people have come to the
city for embarkation on the Liberian
ship) since the p)ublication in The
News and C'ourier' of the misfor
tunes of those who did so. Those
victims are quartered in various
p)ortions of the city, four or five
families being clubbed together in
a house. The men seem to be
sober, frugal and industrious,, and
have been trying earnestly to obtain
work by whlich to support them
solveE. It is to their credit that
not one of them has been seen in
the least intoxicated or disposed to
boisterousness since their arrival.
They seem to iregard their proposed
emigration as a religious pilgrimn~
age, and conduct themselves
accordingly. A number of them
who are quartered at 14 and 18
Tradd street, express themselves as
very anxious to obtain plantation or
farm work.-KNetos and Cjourier'.
WEDsTER's FAhfOUs recipe for mak..
ing p)unchi was as follows: "Four
pounds of lump sugar ; one pint
strong green tea ; one dozen lemons,
The peel cut off in small bits, and the
juice squeezed out ; one ounce of
mace ; two bottles cognac brandy;
six bottles champagne and eight
bottles claret." Th~is filled the largo
bowl that stood on Mr. Webster's
sideboard, and was never empty

At Concord, Ky., on Wednesday
night, Deputy Sheriff Ruggles, with
a posse, overtook the notorious Un,

stealing horses fromn farmers, and
demanded their: surrender. The
UJnderwoods immediately fired at
