4 THE MODERN RIDDLE. + Seventy-third Day of the Wonder. ful Scandal Suit. MR. BEECHER’S LAST DAY The Witness Rejoiced at His Release. A QUESTION OF LIFE INSURANCE. “A Strong Spiritual Presentiment that I Was Near the Borders.” FLUSHING A PARTRIDGE. Following Up Bowen’s Check to Tilton for $7,000. “Spoils from New Friends for the Enrich- ment of Old. The cross-examinatton of Mr. Beecher termt- mated yesterday at Ralf-past twelve o'clock, to the evident great Joy of Mr. Beecher himseil and the Court and jury. Ip rather a pleasant frame of mind afr. Fullerton aat down after his long and exhausting effort. Quite a stir took place in the court room and several persons stood up and lett as if the main attraction of the performance was atanend, Fullerton did not exert himsell with anything like his accustomed energy. He seemed to feel that ne had accomplished his task and that the few remaining questions necessary to be put to the witness were of @ purely tormal character, Mr. Beecher had evigently no idea the cross- examination was to terminate soabruptiy. He was red and unnappy, and his answers had at times a tone of anger that showed he was restive and embarrassed. fe left the stand flushed and iree, and im bis every motion indicated tbat he jelt relieved from some terrible pressure. The old quotation from the Irish orator—''Redeemed, re- generated and disenthrelled’—was somethiag that Beecner’s friends considered applied to his escape irom Puilerton’s bands. Beecher was under half an boar’s REDIRECI BXAMINATION, and then prior to taking a re: descended from the stand and received the congratulations of nis friends and relations. Poor Mrs, Beecner’s eyes lUgnted up with a giadnesa tnat has long deen ‘anger totnem, Her daughter, Mrs. Scoville, was equally influenced to comiort aud nappiness, and Mr. Scoville was so far impreaved as to cry, Hip, mip, nurran!’? Beecher himself was giad that the agony was over and was uncommonly communicative. He leit the court room at recess and did not return d@uring the day. Nor aid Fu. lertoo pat in an appearance in the aiternoon, Alter the cross-examination ceased he staring at the witness. Beecher has made @ negative impression. The peuple woo bave sat day ater day under his shadow in the court room and listened to his an- swers have come away wita the impression that he must be a deeply injured man or else he is & deeply injuring witness. There were times in ais testimony when the latter impression was very strong on the minds of most people, aud Beecher appeared more the sinner than the saint, The common sense of the pubitc who read nis answers and statements will determime as iully and em- phatically ae any Verdict of @ jury the trae meas- ure of the man’s culpability. He nas not been a great success as a witness for himsel’, and as against bimself everybody will determine by tue record of bis vestimony. THR BVIDENCE.

To Tum’ EDITOR OF THE HEXALD:— In you): issue of to-day, under head of “Kissing , in China,” you gave as an authority an extract from the Philadelphia Press, which is really a con- densat.ion of the story entitled ‘Miss Is¢a,’? writ- ten by me lor ‘‘Lotos Leaves,” As the fact of kissing being unknown among the Chinese was first brought to notice by myself and has been aenied by some of my countrymen, who only know the Chinese of Hong Koug Harbor, I wil gbve you the reasons why this nation uas re- pudlated the osculavory art, In }emote times it Was known and practised, but when Contucius reimaugurated and retaught the dowtrine of veneration of ancestors tne Cni- ese gradually abandoned kissing as Vulgar and tending to promote tamiutarity, As a proot of this We Cimnot tind the act delmeated upon any piece of clttna or in any modern Chinese patting, Child ren venerate their paren t»—worship in many cases—and veneration forpids familiarity. for this feason, und alming at a high devree of purity, the (ininese have abandoned kissimg as a means of ex:pressing regard and look with somevning more: than surprise upon I's practice by ourselves. As vhs sact is exci'lng considerable comment, 1 think 1ta8 well to place It upon @ more certain basis than the story of “Miss Isén.’” Remaining yourmvery truly, EDWARD GRAY.
