Inthe blind impotence of his rage, ho dotor- mined to visit hiy angor on Henry Ward Beooher, imagining that he bad been the causo of bia dostruction. Mr. Boecher waua friend of both ‘Thoodore ‘ilton and his wifo. Friond, wife, aud childron must be trampled down to seauro thet ‘Sindipation for which he had bartored bia wholo soul. Mr, Boecher moved to this city from Indianap- olis in 1847, oud was already a moturod mau of agsurod fame when ‘Tilton was onrolied among tho young mon of Plymouth Church. Ifo had noting to gaiu from young Tilton, and the Int- tor had everything to gain from countenauco which ho, (Meechor) afforded him. Bocchor'a friendship for ‘Tilton was iucreased by the mar- riage of the Jattor to 8 young girl In his church, in whom tho pastor had takon an intorost. ‘Tile ton became on ditorint writer upon the Independent, sud was brought ine to atill closer —rrolations «= with ~—hia nator, who was a froquout contributor to that journsl, Even at that time Tilton began to foot a foalouay of Boecher, though this was not sus- péctod by the latter. Beecher having a country residence at which his family remained during cortain seasons of tho year, he was, ru waa woll known, in frequont habit of taking bis meals in Brooklva at the houses of bia paristionors. Aw early ag ‘61 or '62 Tilton frequently urged Beochor to visit his home in this mannor, urging tho regard which was ontortalued for bim by his wife, “Beechor at longth complied, to some ex- tont, with those solicitations, 42rs. Tilton, who wus tho real dofondnut in this caso, was 2 woolsn of emall stature, childlike unturo, and of morbid roligious enthusisem, ‘witon blawolf fad wid thatit she had lived In the carly timea of thu Catholic Church her namo would uave beon surrounded by & halo. Bho wags enliroly dovoted to hor husband, looked up to hin in svorything, and consulted his every wish, She watched with pride bis progrosa in ile , but was doomed to the sorrow of aceing him, blindod by egotism and surrounded by flattorera, losing his hold upon what she supposed to bo the foundo~ tlon of rehgion, She tried with toars and prayers to turn her husband to the right, and she looked to her trusted patron to aid her in this Jabor, If Tilton bad but followed tho advice in tha beautiful letter which Boecher wrote him in 1887, he would now havo n happy honie ; yet we wore asted to Leliovo that, at the vory time whon this wifo was trying to savo the virtua of her husband, sho comnntted tho verv ein againut which slo was warning bim. ‘In 1863, Mr. Tracy continued, Beechor wailed for Europe, leaving Tilton in sole charge of the dndependent. Io the abssnce of hor former gulde, Tilton’s jealousy of him waa incroased, vut bo ett maintamed tho outward form ot Blendehiy, In 1865, on tho night of Nov, 80, he wroto to Beocier a lettorin which he apoke of bis long affection for him; of their iutimuoy, and of the obligations which he owed to him, Ho begged Beechor in this letter to forgive hin for any word or deed of lls which bad given oifense, and also spoke in {tof his religious de~ Pression, In this year, 1863, Tilton became tho Independent, mansging editor of and in is = egotism = took = every method of abowing hia independence of Becchor, whose equal or superior he knew or considered himself to be; took advantage of political dit. forences to make such attacky upon Boschor in the Independent that Beecher wax obliged to dis- solve all counuotion with that journal, ‘I'he pra- text for these attacks was BEEOIER'S CLEVELAND LETTER, which had beau read in ovidence, advocating a modarnie <poliey towarde tho ee: A fore er wi read now, ton yearw afterward, showed Beocker to be no fess emont ou a statesman than as pastor, Butthe views of extreme mon prevailed, and ‘Tilton at that dime, ss he testified, gound Limealf with majority of bis patty, ‘Dilton, in bis editor chair, wan surrounded by extremints of ovory nort, Who found in him a m! ke tho mowt radical viow of every nubject.

Tracy then said that ‘Tiltou’s views also underwent an important change iu regard to the relations of tho soxcs, behoving thst a erent social revolution was impending in regard to this matter. ‘Tilton, ac- cording to hia usual custom, ombraced the rad- jeol side, Ie mado this aubjoct a matter of fro- qquont conversation with his asscciatos who vis~ ited at hia house, taking the ground that avery relation botwoen the sexes waa propor which was attended by mutual love, Theo viewa aud thona agsociaten’ wore extremely offousive to bis wifo, and a sourcy of even greater anguish ‘to her than the change in his rohgions opimons.

Gen, Tracy then said that the family referred to in this lester was that iu which tho young lady already reforrod to was ono of tbo daughters, the young Indy whom ho afterwards tool to hie onnhome. Could a hugbaud inflict greater cru- elty upon n wife than by writing such a lettor? In Jannary, 1804, ‘Tilton's criminal conduct had Lecomo too notorious for concenlment, and hia wafo, iu ono of her moet oxalted moods, ‘TAXED MIM WITH 108 6158.

After ell sald and done, how much greater the Intellectunt enjoyment of hearing Cuatlotte Cusbman read the scenes from Shakapeare in which abe plays, than to see ber porform in them upon the stage, Wanting all tho acces- rorica of persons upon tho stage, the pomp and cirenmutanes of the sconos that follow and do- yetop tha motive of the draina; wanting all tho aids that dramatto representation gives the actrosa, how froo is tho frangination ina read- tog compared with splay; how vivid I» tho de- ‘ineation of charactor, how distinct {ta out- living ; how unrestrained the action when the mind of the auditor becomes the actor, and tho individual conception of charactor aulfers no rude shock from the shortcomings of the “support, and gathers only firmness and color from the suggestion of the rendor, The fooling doopons when tho con- trast fe so recont. It is not long since Miss Cushman read scones from * Houry Vill," and iv hor reading infused lite into, not Queen Aah erine only, but into the King, and the two Card- inals sluo, Thero was there oothing to mar tho porfect harmony of hor tracing, nothing to dis- order tho mental picture which tho imagination had drawn before, There bor rouding was more- ly a sumoions for each of the charactors to como out and speak his pioce, and thoxo who remem- ber the offect of that aceno aa read will renrot that the improssion wna aver allowed to sulfer disfigurement by tho inevitnble inadequacy of lews gifted sud lena oxpertencod pertormers. It ia iu this that a dramatic reading surpasses a theatrical representation, Tho {magination grows strong by what it feeds on, and as s satis~ fying intellectual tease the latter oaunot compare with tho former, And this {a not meant as a disparagement of tho performanco at McVickor's last ovoning, when Mies Cushman pluyed Queen Katherine onco moro. ‘The performance was not certainly ay brilliant 9 enccosy og ft might have bosn, but it wus equal to tho average. ‘Tho feeling of dis~ appointment follows the descent to the average from something that waa identand more lofty. ‘AMisy Cushman's portraiture of tho hapless Quecn was what it always bas been as tho play-goor of to-day :emombers it: thesoft andanellow picture of pationt woniaulivod, of blamoleas sulforing and oxalted virtue, of qucenly dignity and wife- ly affection. It was marked by tho smo high sontiment, and illustrated with the same molting power. But it was Queen Katherine only that tho audience saw, for the other characters woro more than ever transparoutly crude, The ing dlenry of tir. Bock was not a lofty perlormanes. In hia ondeavor to keep within hia viow the contsor attributes of this uxorious monurch, he bhudly omitted any other aspoct of the charce- ter. itis Henry was blutf—indecd, so bluff an to be 8 caricaturo, not upon a King ouly, but upon anybody but a boor. Indeed, descending, tu tho lowest form of colloquialivm, ho read bis linos almost with a patois, aud too frequently recalled by a very broad hint that un- welcome persovnge in whose ropresentation ho las won somo crodit—Juke Mars submit that there is littl in common between Henry VIL, blutf, uxorious, coarse 1f you wilt, and tho net-Honst biackmailor of Bra, Bowors’ horrible play. It abowa only a superticial etudy of a character tu falt into any auch coofusion of ideas to aasociate them. Mr. Bock bas moro than once betrayed an aptitude for stroup characterization, but ia it possible his strongth lios only io thia quarter? Mr. Hardio mado abrave attack upon Cardinal Wolsey, aud bo- hind his very imporfect rendering of the part could now and then bo discerued an appracia— tion of its meaning, but Mr. Hardio's reading was most inaccurate, and he slaughtered whale linea in tho matchicas soliloguy on ambition, and the speech to Cromurelt. In additlon to this radical fault, Mr. Hardie wiffered from himeclf, Lily paculiur dotting of words which givas a utao- cato offect to his olocution is much against him, and habits of goatura and attitude hove fastonod upon him wiel, it would acct, almost hopelces tenacity. He scomed to bo trying to exprosa ir the guise of Rickelicu that far grander croation, the Wolsey of Shatepearoe.
