THE CARDINAL'S COSTUME, The election and confirmation of Archbishop McUloskey as Cardinal necessitated action in the | way of preparing the costume designated for the | Hosition, and, as no previous occasion had arisen for such acostume on tuts side of the Atlantic, considerable doubt was entertained whether the requisite materials could be obtained without a | special order being despatched to Europe. Tne ress of a cardinal 1s peculiar both in atyre and texture, and the diMenuity wat was expected | greatly perplexed those who had the matter in charge, According to the official programme the robes of @ cardinal are composed of three sep- arate and distinct pleces—the cassock, the mantelletta, or full cape, and tye mazetta, or short cape, all, when worn, assuming the shape and having the appearance of @ single garment. ‘These three articles are made of @ pecaliar and very rich and costly fabric, technically denomt- nated Sicilienne silk, which is usually manutac- | tured fiity inches in width, in order to avoid un- sightly seams in the garments. Tne color of this Sicilienne silk is a rich shade of scariet, ana beara the name of “OARDINAL COLOR,’? The dress, when made up, is lined throughout ‘with rich gros grain slik oi the same shade. Rich full colors having been superseded during the past few years im the fashionable world rendered it exceedingly probiematical whether the required, shade could be procured in time for the jnvestiture, which will, no doubt, take place during the present week, as the mes- sengers of the Pope are expectea to arrive by the steamship Pereire on Tuesday or Wednesday. Fortunately, on search being made 1m our dry goods stores, it was ascertained that Messrs. J. & ©.

THE HOLES IN THE STORY. A Scrap of Paper with a Sus- picious History. A HERALD reporter yesterday strolled into a circle of prominent lawyers who had met casually in a downtown office, and, naturally enough, bad @ discussion among themselves on the foremost topic of the day—the Brooklyn scandai—and more especially on Beecher in the character Of a witness. Laymen, after reading Beecher’s sesti- mony, arrive at the conclusion that the old man vells @ very “square” story; that he reconciles in @reasonable fashion the plea of innoceace with the singular language of hfs letters and state- ments, People predisposed to acquit the Plymouth pastor of the crime with which he is charged find it easy to accept bis evidence as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the trotn. Lawyers are matter of fact men, and they notice and garner up paltry little facts that laymen brush aside with contempt. “Beecher,” said ja’ “produced @ scrap of paper the first day of nis examination, which be said contained nis advice to his wife, when she was going down to see Mrs, Tilton, as to what Mrs. ‘Lilton should do in the mat- ter of separating from her husband. He said the reason why he wrote this advice to his wite was that he had company in the house and did not wish them to hear it spoken aloud, Is that very Mkely? Why could he not step out in the hall and tell herin hali a minute tne advice he had to give? Was it not more apt to distarb nis com- pany to retire and sit 4 at a desk to writet In that note he alleges to have written then to nis wife he says:—‘l incline to think that your view 1s right, and that @ separation and & settlement of support willbe wisest.’ Now, why was not this scrap of paper produced before? How is tt of all other scraps this shoula be preserved? Don’s you see tne point? The wife could not be pro- auoed to corroborate his statement that he ad- vised separation between Mrs. Tilton and her husband, and this scrap of paper was manufac- tured tor the occasion, The great point Beecher wants to make here is that his sin consisted in ADVISING TILTON’S WIFE to leave tim. He says ne believed Tilton to bea bad man, to have been unfaithful to his wife, He Morse, Mrs. Tilton, Bessie Turner and Henry ©, bowen, all good Obristian people and members of his church, that would | justify Mrs. Tilton m leaving him, | Then when @ beathen anda stranger like Frank Moulton comes to his house and tells him these are hes concerning Tilton, he bursts into paroxysms of remorse at having thus wronged Tilton, and, rec- oliecting the crime he committed of sdvising Mrs. Tilton to leave her lawful husband, he said a thousand things against himself without thought or meaning. This is what Beecher gays. Now contrary (hing, and this is revealed by the letter of Mrs. sorse, written one month alter toe ume Beecher asserts he indited the scrap which be wave to bis wife when sie was about to go down to Mrs, Tilton, Mrs. Morse said in that letter addressed to Beecher, nearly in these words, ‘You and all others poses: ainary exbivition of made before Moulton. BERCHER’S BLUBBERING. Lawyer No. 1 paused, satisfied that he had knocked one prop, at least, from under tue tao- Tic 1 the Beecher evidence. Then the couversa- ton became discursive. “1 don’t believe,” said lawyer No. 2, “in &@ man who vluboers like Beecher on the wituess stand, it ot women. auton’ rick ners.

BEECHER’S RELAXATIONS, To rae Epiror or THE HERALD:— Among the latest revelations of the Beecher case @ significant one in regard to the private—ana one might almost say secret—penchants of the Plymouth pastor. Mr. James Redpath found him lying on the bed alter dinner (the dinner having been immediately preceded by an affecting scene of Plymouth tear-shedding), consoling himself by the perusa: of one of Dumas’ novels, and, with “laughing eyes” and characterisuc frankness, he told Mr. Redpath that this was @ favorite way of diverting ms mind.

SPELLING MATCH AT THE COOPER INSTITUTE GRAND ARRAY OF JAWBREAKERS—A LIVELY AND GALLANT CONTEST. ‘The spelling-match mania has already struck New York, The fun broke out for the firat time + last evening at the Covper Institute before sev- eral hundred people. Quite a number of comely young school teachers were present, with memo-. » randum books and pencils, ana with a hope of petmg allowed a chance of parti g in the sport. The arrangements, howevey,*precinded the audience from joming in, but ‘there was quite enouga amusement in sptte of that. The manage-~ ment was in charge of Dr. Fuller Walker and Dr. Clarke. Six or seven rows Of school boys occupied one side of the stage and two rows of pressmen nd compositors the other.

The rules were jew and simple. But one attempt to spell ® word was permitted, and if the aspirant for orthographical distunction broke down on the first Jump he was compelied to retire to the rear of the stage, where for the remainder of the evening he sat in the gloomy snadow of failure and disappointment, THE SUCCESSVUL ONES retained their seats, and as tue number of com- petitors diminisned, which it did very rapidly, the survivors of the struggle came together ina small, determined band 1mmediately tn the centre of the stage. The first prize was an edition of | Shakespeare, the second a copy of “Webster's Un- abridged. The prizes were placed on the reading stand in iront of the stage. Dr. Ayres began by stating the simple condi- tions of the match. If the word were auwputed its correct spelimg was to be determined by Weo- ster or Worcester.
