The transportation of alcohol from the United States to Europe, which amounted to abouU2,000 barrels in the year 1873, has now dwindled down almost to nothing, and the domestic trade is correspondingly depressed, as a consequence of an inadequate demand to meet the increased production. The distillers attribute this change in the condition of things to a comparatively recent construction of the law under -which alcohol had previously been exported.

The Chicago Tribune has a special on the Bcecher-Tilton trial, in which the following was given in evidence: Altera lull ot ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, Fullerton, who bad been talking earnestly with Judge Morris, rose and blandly commenced the redirect examina tion. Alter Bhowmg that Mrs. lllton re turned home of her own free will, and after showing also that she abandoned her hus band to join the Beecher forces without any previous notice whatever, Fullerton asked tho following question and received the following reply: tj. in answer to a question put by Mr. Evarts with re gard to your wile, you answered; think my wire loves everything good and hates everything bad, and I believe to-day she is a good woman." Now, I want to ask you the foundation for that belief, in view ( this charge that had been preferred against your wife, in other words, how you reconciled that statement with the fact that she is charged withadultry? A. HeMtat lngl well, sir, that is a sad question. I can answer only for my own judgment of her behavior not for other people s opinions You must remember, sir, that I knew Elizabeth when I was ten years old that I became her confessed lover at 16: that I was married to her at 20, and that, for niteen years oi our married lives, I held ber in my reverence, perhaps almost to tbe point of making her an idol ot my worship ana wnen sne came to ner aowntall it was the necessity of my own heart that must find some excuse for her. Other people might blame, but l must pardon her. found that excuse In the fact that she had been wrapped up in her re ligions teacher and guide, and had SURRENDERED HEB CONVICTIONS to him. She went at his beck and led trust ingly; she walked after him like one blinded. I thought she Binned her sin as one en tranced. I did not think she was a free agent. I think she would have done his bidding if, like the heathen priest in Hindoo, be baa bade her throw her child In the Ganges, or cast herself under the lugger naut. That was my excuse for Elizabeth. As hesnoketbus sorrowfully of tbe weak wo man who had tangled her own Infirmities in the net of her ruin, his voice faltered and began to tremble. Th?re was a great snence in the room so tnat tne ni3tie or a woman's dress was heard clearlv bv evnrv one. AH eyes fastened upon Elizabeth Tiltt ton, whose cheeks were crimson, and who snrunK lrom tne glare ot curiosity use a wounded animal. Beecher's ovrngaze was fixed upon the gas jets in tha ceilinz. Q rvmeioing Das been said by you about mar riage only coDtinuiDg while both partie were willing. Your opinion is that the law should reguiAte this matter? A. Myopia ion is that the civil law of contracts should regulate the matter. After this came Til ton's solemn proclamation against free love In all mv writings and they are a vol urae I have always condemned tbe doctrines of free love, knowing nothing of them in my own experience until my heart was pierced by the discovery that free love had been practiced in my own house to tue de Birucucn of my own family." A lOUd bustle of comment flew around the room at this dagger-thrust at B96ch9r. The concluding Incidents of the afternoon ses sion were a quotation of Mrs. Morse' man ace to cat holes In tbe portrait of Beecher and a desperate battle between Evarts and Beach over the admision of soveo photo eraphs found m a teeret rJoset in which Mrs. Tilton used to conceal her mementos o Beecher, and all of which photogr&phs, by curious coincidence, were likenesses of Beecher in seven different positions. They were finally admitted In evidence, ro Fullerton pot it, "as the deadly instrument is ad mitted in a case of homicide."

DIVINE JUSTICE. BY ROBERT BUCHANAN. Master, if there be doom, . All men are berearen ! If in the universe, . tne soul receives the curse, Alas for heaven ! If i here be doom for one, Thou, Master, art undone. Were I a soul in heaven A far from pain. Yea, on tby breast of snow, At the cry of one below I should rry again. Ait thou less piteous than The conception of a man ?

GOD'S WAITING. Br JEAN INCJELOW. Grand is the leisure of the earth ; Übe gives her happy myriads birth, And after harvest tears not dearth. But goes to sleep in snow-wreaths dim. Dread is the leisure np above. The while He sits whose name is Love, And waits, as Noah did tbe dove, To see if ehe would fly to him. Tie waits for us, while, houseless things. We beat about with braised wings On the dark Hoods and water springs, The ruined world, the desolated sea; With open windows from the prime. All night, all day. He watts sublime. Until the fulness of the time Decreed from Uli eternity. THE CHIEF OF THE LOBBY. BILL. KING ONCE MORE. HI3 rnjrOGRAPH AS GIVEN BY GEORGE AL FRED TOWNS END SOME FAMILIAR FEATURES IN THIS S TRI KINO LT ACCURATE WORK CP ART. Mr. G. A. Townsen J, "Laerle V writes to the New York Graphic a very entertaining sketch of a man of some notoriety at the present time in connection with the Pacific Mail investigation: They call Sam Ward the king of the lobby, ue is merely the cock of tbe lobby. To" dine somebody and talk about his wines, and cabbage a few hun dreds or thousand., Is tbe extent of Sam Ward's offending Mam has tbe disqual ification of some smattering culture; and whoever heard of a successful lobbyist with any such boyishnoss? lour Wikofla and Durants, who strike the eagle high n air. are mere pretenders to a literature and science they nse incidentally. He who has tasted of tbe 1'ierian Spring always con ceals a blush ot sensibility for the rest of his life, and from Sam Ward to Lord Bacon the litterateurs have been poor lobbyists always found out at last. What is worst, they "are persecuted through all fame for It. We speak or ltaieign as tne mould of chivalry, whereas ho was an Emma Mine 8nd Credit Mociüer man, sub sisting between piracy and pyrotech nics, and slnginc so introspectively because, as George Calvert might have remarked to him: 4,You know how it is yourself." If you take up Tavlor's (Episcopal) "History of Ireland" you will see bow Sir Walter behivcs to the poor kerns and gen tlemen of that Inoffensive kingdom. Still he strides in velvets down the grooves of time, while poor Bacon, for a little "knocking down" in office, is smirched even by the Herald 8 young man, wno muaiy asKs. "Did he write Shakspeare?" What an imputa tion I Uaoon and greens ! The king of the lobby is he who hires for the most in it, and Is a large merchant in the corruptibility of congressmen and officials. Sir Giles Overreach was the jobber; Bill King a kind oi Wellborn putting it up on Giles; and Sam Ward is merely Greedy, the justice and gourmand. Bill King, I affirm, without fear of contradiction, has made mc ra money than any go-between in Washington. He has made very nearly one minion dollars. A keen, comprehensive business man. inured to fatigue, tried to necessity, taking chances with diminishing nerve for the lobby is tne hall ot conscience, where all that walk so boldlv are only di?euising cowardice Bill Kinz moved on the upper level of life. He threw himself and his money to elect other men, and, if he had nothing, would BORROW FOR A CANDIDATE rather than not create an obligation in bis breast. Equally formidible an! pereever ing as an enemy, he stamped out Ignatius Donnelly to raise up Billy Windom, and in the Fort Snelling steal, the Northern Pacific Credit Mobilier, the Sioux massacre claims, the St. Anthony improvement, and the Pacific Mail, he was a wholesale merchant drivineonthebox. 'You can't put down King," said the commissioner or pensions to me a month ago. "Up in our state be is recognized as a tireless business man, ready with his money, going it strong. He puts up more money in politics than any ten men in the sta'.e. He always has the support of our whole delegation." To look at Bill King be is a fattisn, soft, ill-favored man. with a cast in his bluish eray eyes, a nervous look of alertness, and a rather sensual, indul&rent. coarse type of features. He is. say, forty-eight to fifty-two years old, and raised in the interior of New York, where he was a bankrupt sixteen vears aero. Striving to be resuscitated as an insurance azent. his cheek was hardened, bis plausibility kept in practice, and he learned bard lessons of life and riches Finally be removed to Minneapolis, a young citv at the falls ot the Mississippi, and started a newspaper. His wife boarded the comDOsitors and willingly slaved for him. The newspaper, in course of time, made him postmaster of the House of Repre sentatives an humble omce, but in the minds of men supremely great, the post efflce is mightier than the Senate. For years I looked at Bill King as a mere polit ical menial on $2,500 a year. In 1869 be came to my house on Capitol Hill and asked me if 1 meant to oppose his election. He said he had so understood. I told him that I did not even know what state he rep resented, and if he had been a bad egg, J should not have said so after tbe pains he had taken. It always occurred to me that be was a poor, semi-deserving person unti I visited St. Paul in 1872. Tben I found i letter anticipating my arnva) asking me to drive over to Minneapolis, six miles, and be his guest at the Nicollet House. In due time I FOUND BILL KINO a more widely known person than either of the Minnesota senators. Governor Ramsey drove me over the prairies to hi3 city. There his little newspaper had become a large daily, edited by a young man named Crow Foot, whose indiscretion was the bane o Bill King's existence. He always put bis crow foot into it whenever he opened his mouth. That fellow," says Bill, "is an heredl tary nincompoop kind on me, and He's antagonizing man you know my exposed "What is it, Bill?" "Why," said he, "I'm developirg the West at its own expense. I'm negotiating great enterprises tor a consideration. It's my interest not to offand, except in the way ot desperation. That fellow thinks he's a poet and a thinker, and he'll brins; my bald hairs with sorrow to tho grave. But come! I want to show you my stock." From the suburb of Minneapolis far out into the country, the land ranging In value from.'00 to $1.000 per acre, there was property of Bill King's always in aight. lie owned bluffs and hollows, prairies and lakes, building lots, a race coarse, stone quarries, and cataracts. Iiis stork farm would make a Belmont or a Sanford praise with envy. Bulla worth 520,000 every calf from whose royal loins was worth a hundred beet down their wrinkled head, the furrows showing the exasperation, of such procrea-

tive vitality upon an Eremite philosophy. They 1 iwed lor Bill King. Kam of a thousand mutton power base! for Bill King. Great stations Sashed their heels in the air for joy and neighed for Bill King. Cows, whose daily milk filled cisterns, flowing down the channels of unbroken pedigree from reservoirs upon the thousand Canaan.

i:e hills, where there mothers had graz'nJ, chewed the cud lesi abstractedly at tbe eomingofBill King. A great barn like Solomon's temple presided over the herds and sheltered tbe living treasures in the luxurious stalls. "Bill," said I, "tell me, are you Jacob or Laban?" "I'm Esau." said Bill. "Your Ishmaelt nane of your conundrums." And this was the simple and obscure post master of one end of tht capitol. whose sup positious duties were the eortine of con gressmen's newspaper and THE PACKTNO OF THEIR STATIONERY and documents for transmission. Here he was in his own constituency, filling young men with the envy of office, and by his rapid accumulations dissatisfying them with plain, steadfast avocation. William," said I, "how much you have saved out of your salary !" - xes," ne said, "it's pretty good for a noor fellow who has spent a few years licking postage stamp and straightening them out. It's what you save. Liertes. not what vnu make, that eives you a rcsDoetabie noise, a social status, aud the repcs9 of the just." Bilking laughed like a horse at the pica a regular stock farm laugh and we trotted like the wind' on eazle's fetlocks toward the Falls of Minnehaha, where we took at least one dissolved leather of the cock and admired the miniature wonders of nature. George Lincoln kept tne innen tho table land above the fall a fellow jobber with Bilking. Their little irame waa to can turn the Fort Snelling reservation at an obscure sale, one Frank Steele being the principal in the transaction. Said I, in the icnocsnce of mv heart. thinking tbeie was to be an auction, and the more bidders the Detter, for the possessory rights ot Mr. Lincoln, "Oentlemen, let me announce the sale." "Good Lord! No!" answered both the men of Minnehaha. "If you advertise this sale we may lose the highest bid. We want to keep the thins dark and bid it in cheap." i oeneve tney aid atterward, and I recollect the queer sensibility I felt, sitting there n ine grotto oi Minnehaha the pretty cas cade thundering down tbe chasm, and tbe cliffs and toliag shutting in all the lesend of Longfellow, which soeined woven into the rainbow and exhaled from the spray at the possibility that these two land pirates were apairof Jupiters soliciting ome Danse imprisoned in the waterfall, and that the golden haze around Minnehaha was tbe shower of gold in which they were violating ner. roor dainty legend, already written into fame! Dear Naiad, praised too far away I for the security of thy comeliness! Long shall I see thee, not as the bride oi Hiawatha, but as some lovely Susanna taking thy bath, and pursuod meantime by the cupidity of the pair of elders: "Would you ask me whence this legend, Whence this spiritand this tradition? I would answer, 1 would tell you, From the thought of cock-eyed bilking, Kitting there with tapster Lincoln, By the falls of Minnehaha, 1'laylBg me for Hiawatha. An old lobbyist like King had no business to be running for congress. Whether some desire to ornament his wealth with honer impelled him. or tbe necessity of returning to congress since there was no more hope of holding a clerical relation there, or apprehension that he must be on the spot to protect himself, at any rate Bill King ran, Even tbe regular democratic papers supported him. Hi3 canvass cost him A LARGE BUM OF MONEY, and then he had the mortification of beinz in ine minority, l suppose tnat made no difference, a3 be could buy democrats as cheap as repuDiicans. Nearly a year before he could take his seat this unfortunate King of the lobby was under investigation, and his nerve, which was never of the best, forsook him. He dis appeared in the interior of New York, where be had struggled in earlier and poorer days, and kept one foot pivoted on the town of Malone, where the remans invaded Canada, and with the other leg stretched out, describing an arc through the queen's dominions. The deputy sergeant-at-arms followed William's instincts, and pursued him to the best stock farm in Canada, where, as usual, be found Bill, the cynosure of attraction for Alderney and Devonshire cattle. Durham bulls. South down rams, Yorkshire ewes, and imported Arabian stallions. Maneuvering lor a position where all thi3 neighing, lowing, baaing, cock crowing, and bellowing came to a io cus.the deputy herceant-at-arms had only to reach out his hand j and put a subpoena into the paW of Bill King. Rumor says that William threw back his head, turned pale for a moment, then buret into a horse laugh, and said, "You're a hell of a fellow! Don't you know not to find a man any better than this? You're inter rupting me amidst a great national duty. am improving the short horns." MURDER OF AN INDIANIAN. A CITIZEN OF DAVIESS COUNTY MURDERED IN ARKANSAS THE ESCAPE OF THE MURDERER. The Washington Democrat gives the following account of the recent murder of a citizen of Daviess county while in Arkansas: In 1SG0, F. A. Chapel, well known in this county, left here and located in Missouri. He entered tbe rebel army, and, when the rebellion was put down, be moved to Arkadelphia, Ark., where he married and engaged in tbe practice of law. He had two brothers-in-law who were desperate characters. They got into some trouble in connection with the disappearance of a horse and accused Mr. Chapel of prosecuting them, and threatening his life. He paid no attention to their threats. At the time of his murder, which occurred on Thursday of last week, he had gone to the country about twenty miles from Arkadelphia to look at a house he had put up on a farm. He went to a neighbor's house to stay all night. Some time during the evening his two brothers-in-law came to the door of the house and knocked, and when the door was opened they immediately fired upon Mr. Cbarel,wbo was standing by the fire. Not sat. isfied with killing him they proceeded to mutilate bis body. They put three bullets in his body, stabbed him 33 times with their bowie knives, cut his throat from ear to ear, and then scalped him. The desperadoes then whooped and yelledabout the premises all night and next morning mounted their horses and started for Texas. Arkadelphia is 100 miles southeast of Little Rock, and only half a day's ride from Texas. As soon as possible a nand of armed men organized and pursued them. Tbe murdered man leaves a wife and two children. White and W. E. Chapel, of Pike county, brothers of the deceased, received the terrible ne ws Th orsday last by telegraph, and left this city on that day lor the scene of the murder. From tbem we pet tbe particulars as told above. It Is their Intention f ither to follow the murderers themselves,or put a St. Louis detective ou their track. A paragraph is In circulation to the effect that Oakey Hall, ex-mayor of New York, is soon to wed Ada Dyaa, tbe actress. The marriage will not, however, bd celebrated immediately, as the present Mrs. II all, who has lived with Oakey for the past tw. nty five years, and borne him several children, has viows of her own on the subject of bigamy.

IN AIKMjUY OF BARRY CORNWALL.

ALUEKNON CHARLES SWINBURNE. From the Fortnightly Review.l I. In the garden of death, where the singers whose One with another make music unheard of uuun are aeaiuiess men, Where the dead sweet roses fade not of Hps long breathlens. And the fair eyes shine that shall weep not or change aRain, Who comes now crowned with the blossom cf r ow-while year? What music is this that the world of the dead men beats? ii. Beloved of men, whose words on cur lips were honey. Whose names ia our ears and our fathers' ears was sweet. Like summer gone forth of the land his songs made tunny, To the beautiful veiled bright world where the glad ghosts meet, Child with father, and bridegroom with bride, and anguish with rest. No soul shall pass of a singer than this more blest. hi. Blest for the year's sweet sake that were ruled and brightened, Asa foreKt with birds, with the fruit and the dowers of his song. For the souls' sake blest that heard, and their cares were lightened. For the hf art' mke blest that have fostered his name so long. 15y the llvln? and dead lips blest that have loved his name. And clothed with their praise and crowned with their love for fame. IV. Ah, fair and fragrant his fame as Towers that close not. That shrink not by day for heat or frr cold by night. As a thought in tbe heart shall Increase when the heart s sen Knows not, Shall endure In our ears as a sound, in eur eyes as a light; Shall wax with the years that wane and the season's chime. As a white rose thornless that grows in the garden of time. v. The sane year cal!s, and one goes htnee with another. And men sit sad that were glad for their sweet song's sake: The same year beckons, and elder with younger brother Takes rnately the cup from his band that we all shall lake. They pass eie the leaves ba past or the snows be come; And the birds are loud, but the lips thatoutsang them dumb. vi. Time takes them home that we loved, fair names and famous, To the soft long sleep, to the broad sweet bosom or death: But the flower of their souls he shall take not awav to shame us. Nor the lips lack song forever that now lack b'ealh. For with us shall the music and perfume that die not dwell. Though the dead to our dead bid welcome, and we farewell. October 4, ltli. A RELIGIOUS EXCITEMENT. THE MEETINGS CF MESSRS. MOODY AND SANKEY EXTRAORDINARY EXCITEMENT. The New York Evangelist thus speaks of the religions revival in England: Messrs. Moody and Sankey are meeting with the same wonderful success in England that they bad in Scotland and Ireland. From English papers that nive just come to hand, we make some ex tracts, showing the extraordinary interest of their meetings. Four meetings were held in the Albert Hall, Manchester, on Sunday, the 10th. Thefirst, forChristian workers, was at 8 o'clock. At 11 was a service for those who do not usually attend any church or cbap6l. The hall was filled, but not quite by the class for whom the services were intended. Strenuons efforts have been put forth among the denizens of the slums to awaken their interest in the movement. Hundreds of tickets were given away among them, and expectations were entertained that they would attend in large numbers; but a glance was sufficient to show that tbe audience did not differ much from former audiences. Many new faces were to fee Been, but they were those of decent, orderly working people, or visitors from the rural districts not tbe bosotted countenances of tbe residents of the slums. A meeting for women only was announced for 3 o'clock, but by 2:30 the hall was jammed to suffocation, and the wide street in front was blocked with a crowd of both sexes. Every means of persuasion were tried to induce those who were crushed nnt tn in and listen to other sneakers else where, but in vain they would hear none but Mr. Moody. Jtinaiiv iur. aiooay leu the Albert Hall, and addressed the people assembled, to the number of many thou sands, in tbe parish church-yard, situated in the center of the town. In the evening again THE HALL WAS CRAMMED an hour before the commoncment of the service, and thousands were denied admis sion. Meetings were announced eisewnere, but tbe crowd outside remained till the end of the service. A special correspondent ot the Times of Blessing sends the following: "Tho interest of the evangelists's services seems to have culminated on the Sabbath. The whole town was moved. The Christian workers' morn ing meeting was crowded to the doors with an influential and enthusiastic rudience. The 11 o'clock meeting was rather a novel one, consisting entirely of non-church-goers, who were admitted by tickets which they had themselyes procured. The Albert Hail was thoroughly racked, almost exclusively with men who belonged, with scarcely an exception, to tbe very class inten ded to be reached. They seemed greatly to appreciate Mr. Sankey, who sang no fewer than three solos with Immense effect; the last one, especially, the "Prodigal Child," quite carried away the audienc6. Mr. Moody was in full force, and a profound impression was made, which bore fruit not only at the inquiry meeting at tbe close, but also at the succeeding meetings. The next meeting, which was announced for 3 o'clock, was exclusively for women. Long before the hour the ball was filled, and thousands waited around the door; whilo the large crowd adjourned spontaneously to the parish churchyard, in the hope that Mr. Moody would give an open air service. What could Mr. Moody do? The weather was mild, and tbe streets filled with people who seemed literally to be thirsting for the bread of lite, and he seemed at last almost compelled by circumstances to follow the multitude to the churchyard and address them there. Mounting a tall, fiat gravestone, Mr. Moody was in a few moments the center of, perhaps, THE LARGEST AUDIENCE he ever addressed in England. The ground oouid not have been better chosen. In tbe rear stood a range of tall houses, and in the immediate foreground the old parish church, with its antique spire, overshadowing one ot tbe most impressive scenes ever witnessed in Sheffield. With such surroundings, it la needless to say that the speaker spoke with unusual power.and last Sabbatii afternoon will be marked for generations as an era in tbe religious history of Yorkshire. In the meantime a splendid meeting was sustained in the Albert II all by Mr. Sankey and others, and a very large number ot inquirers remained at the close. The last meeting, also ticketed, was advertised for 8 O'clock, but before 7 the immense ball was again filled to euffjeation exclusively with men, while thousands of people lin

gered around the d.xr. Mr. Moody and Mr. Sao key took the iudoor meeting, while a number of ministers and others addressed the crowd from three to four different standpoints. The Albert Hall meeting was a tit termination to such a memorable day, and the numberoiicqairers was beyond all expectation. The voone men's mentinrr In v , . . . .

A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY.' . TWO WOMEN BUTCHERED AND THEIR MUR DERER KILLED. The Lebanon (Ky.) Democrat of the lth inst, gives the following facts connected with a terrible tragedy: We learn from private sources that a horrible murder, followed by swift and relentless punishment, was committed in Metcalfe county a few days since. The dramatis personte in the tragedy are an old widow lady and her two daughter?, tbe latter of whom were murdered; a man and his wife, who did the horrible deed, and a wandering peddler, whose timely presence and prompt action resulted In the death of the murderer and capture of his wife. The story, as related by our friend, is to the effect that the man and" his wife were visiting at the house of the old widow lady, who lived not far from the house occupied by her two daughters. It so happened that the latter, bad given shelter to a peddler on tbe evening of the tragedy, there being no other man about the house. About midnight, or shortly afterward, tbe peddler was awakened by the noise of a door opening, and got up to see what was the matter. On going out In tbe hall, he discovered a man running out of the door, and immedi ately nred at him with bis revolver. The man fell instantly, tbe ball having passed through his head. Tbe peddler rushed ont of tbe house and found the man's wife near, and took her In charge until daylight. When It became light enough to see, the peddler went out and examined tbe dead man, and found him lying on his face, with a large butcher knife in his rieht hand and several hundred dollars clasped In his left. Tbe knife was bloody from the point clear to the handle, and the sight ot it almost froze the blood in the peddler's veins. Rushing into tha house and entering ths chamber occupied by the two sisters, a most horrible and ghastly sight met bis vision. There lying oa the bed, with their throats cut from er to ear, were the two ladies, covered with gore, their eyes glassy with the bnc s of death, and already Stift and cold. R-:eling with horror, the peddler gave the alarm, and the neighbors were soon on tbe spot. We regret that our informant could not give us the names ot tbe parties to the tragedy, but the above account may te relied on as substantially correct. Great excitement, cf course, exists in the vicinity of the murder, and people are flocking to view the scene from all the surroundingcountry. The wife of the murderer is in custody, and will be securely incarcerated in the jail at Edmonton. After Tilton comes Carpenter.
