BEECHER THERE. In the midst, widely known by his portrait to every, even the obscurest, invader of the chamber, Henry Ward Beecher sat reading, the old look of the blooded horse in his nos- trils and a little oe in his worldly- tere orvenay gray ead bluish, ren.’ When ure gray uish red. rm and time, thought and pain, ardor and intui-~ tion, spoke out of its autumn colors beyond the expressiveness of any face in the room. The non-professional character of this eminent divine was in more than usual contrast among the legal brother- hood. He showed the looser fit of the clerical as compared with the legal texture, less gim- lety features, more bi th of introspection and less of mere incision of the wits; a sort of halo of temperament was around him almost visibly, and his adaptable life and histrionie art showed as well in this secular court as in some more spiritual temple, although he did no more than sit and jook on. The occasion was not fiyorable to a close study of Mr. Beecher’s face, as he was sur- rounded by spoon laggards looking on agape, and for certain periods would not be visible at ali, swallowed up in the crowd. Yet, that the face of one exceptional was there was felt every instant that chance re- vealed it. The length of the profile, the swing | of the eyes in their sockets, and of the long hatred lead on the shoulders, and the leonine shyness, like something in # cage on show, but with a great bounding out- neri, gave Mr. Beecher lenely irrelevancy to the spot. Sometimes he looked to be bored, as if all this time was being subtracted fre ive work and finer study. A . he took a sharp, worldly interest in some subject mat- mel his ole temperament seemed to mes he turned to his 1 nd read along lik author, with a len at last serious and tired. 4 Those who know the motion and throng of A great city court of very high jurisdiction, the rapid ‘disposition of cases, the press of the attorneys in a crowd to the clerk able, and the snap and dispatch of what s the novice projound matter for reflection, Will apprehend the confusion in which the great orator was a passive being unt me up—*Tilton against Beecher’ eady,” exclaimed Mr. Shearm as the occasion required.

A Paris Mystery.—On the 10th of Decem- ber last Mme. Labrichamp, living at 4 Rue de Conyent, Paris, gave a petit diner to her friends. Inthe midst of the festivities she talssed her little boy, only a year old, who had been intrusted to a nurse. “The building and ground were searched, but no signs of baby or nurse eould be found. While the search was in progress the door bell was rang, and & commissionatre handed to the servant a small bottle containing a red liquid. The servant look the bottle to Mme. Labrichamp. She held it to the light and discovered this inseript ‘The blood of Pierre Labri- champ, 1974.” ‘The mother fainted.
