The New fork Times says:

Henry Ward Beecher has planned

It is as astonishing how the patri
otic utterances of ex-President Davis
over the Liberty Bill sent from Phil
adelphia to New Orleans stir the bile
of the regulation Radical editor.
They abuse him daily for not bowing
down and worshipping the Northern
Baal and when he gives expression
to broad, patriotic, sentiments. then
the whole pack Blanch, Tray and
Sweetheart open and such a noise
the little malignants make. As the
Stab said recently the assaults upon
Mr. Davis are not only unmanly, tin
generous and unjust, but they are
mean and spitef ul and disgusting.
Speaker Carlisle has been inter
viewed concerning his visit to Mr.
Cleveland. He is reported in the
New York World as saying: '
'It was the first time I had met him, and
was forcibly impressed with him. He is a
man of force, conviction and of strong,
common sense. After all, that is the only
kind of sense worth having. Of course it
would not be proper for to repeat just what
was said last night in the conversation be
tween Mr. Cleveland and myself. We
talked generally of matters of party policy,
but,-or course, we talked also ox men.
There are many prominent men in the
party with whom Mr. Cleveland has just
become acquainted, and there is a large
number of others whom he has not met.
He asked my opinion of many of them and
I gave them."

Of, the CityVnear the old entrance Uf Oak
dale demetery, when, as he reached tthe
neighborhood of Chesnut street and M-.
cumber's alley, he discovered an individual;
apparently engaged in watching his move
ments. The man went out Chesnut street. '
and at its intersection with Ninth he was
joined by a crowd, coming from the direc
tion of Princess street. Witness stopped at
McDougall's corner, and presently a man
left the crowd and' approached him, but
finally turned and went back before reach
ing him, when & seeming consultation took
place. , . The crowd finally . started : out
Chesnut street, and Jhe .went off -through
the open lots ,4r the direction of the
City Hospital, and. soon discovered
that the crowd was still following him.
Arriving in the neighborhood of his home,
and having been 'warned that harm was
meant him, he ran from his pursuers,
jumped his fence, and started to go into his
house,, when he concluded to first go around
the corner of, it and- reconnoitre. Here be
was confronted by the men he had been
fleeing fromvono of them being slightly in
advance of the others. He said "heigh!' '
and the mn responded with the same salu
tation, . and then . immediately fired upon
him. The first shot was followed :Ty,
another in quick succession, and then- still
others, un til balls were . whistling around
his head .at A terrible rate. He said
the moon was shining bright, he could see
the man'diatmctly, and he was certain he
was Charles Geyer. He also recognized
bis voice Geyer companions, number
ing about , fifteen, Were' some steps
behind him, and he had no doubt he could
have recognized some of them but foe the
fact that the accused fired upon him so'
quickly that he didn't get a chance to get
a good look at them. In the midst of the
firing he fled for his life, having already
received a severe wound in his thigh, and
concealed himself in the swamp between;
the two cemeteries, where he remained un
til 7 o'clock next morning'.
At the close of Turner's testimony the
defendant, Charles Geyer, was put under
the aattn bond of $400 (previously required
of him) for his appearance at the approach

duly furnished.

A Queer Coaple,
A white woman, accompanied by a little
girl,' represented to be her daughter, has!
.been going the rounds of the city for the
past two or three days,- seeking assistance.
She gives her name as Bikes, and says she
is from Philadelphia, though she was born
and raised in... jejsey .The. gin, whq is
about ten oHwelve years old, and not al
together unprepossessing, is a -curiosity.
Her mother sayne of her arms is paral
yzed.' . She nurses the. afflicted limb very
assiduously at times, while ever and anon
a new whim will seize her and she will
commence beating it against whatever ob
ject may be nearest to her. ' She
also ' beats her head against the wall
at times, and . altogether acts so strangely
that anyone noticing her would feel in
clined to believe that she is possessed of an
evil spirit. When these; fits come upon her
she is also very impertinent to her mother,
while at other times she seems very amia
ble and kind towards her. The girl, who
goes by the name of Lizzie Sikes, pretends
to tell fortunes. Taken all in all, the
mother and daughter are the queerest
couple we have encountered in a long time.
They say they are going from hereto
Charleston.
Possibly.
It is thought not improbable that the
boss chicken thief has lately broken into
jail, and that this fact accounts for the al
most entire absence of complaints from
sufferers from such . deDredatlons during
j the pt week." The idea is that some pri-
i Boner incarcerated in tne county laii on an-
bther charge. t may be the identical ma-
rauder. .i - -:.

Oentlemen:-AX the expiration of another
year we meet at this our thirty-$econd an
nual xneeeting ot the Seamen's Friend So
ciety, to consider its interest and to devise
the -best method to extend its usefulness.
It is with great regret and heartfelt sorrow
that we miss from his accustomed place one
of our members; who has been wont to
meet with us ; year by year in the past, to
encourage us by his example and precept,
and who was always a steady and earnest
worker in the intejest of this Society, and
one of its firmest friends, but who Vlhas
passed over the river and how rests from
his labors." I refer to the late Alexander
Sprunt. in whose death not only this Soci-
Lety was bereft of an useful member, but
the mercantile circles oi an upright, hono
rable business man, and this community of
a valuable citizen. It is fit and proper that
we shonid acknowledge, the protecting care
of Qur'Heavenly Father, that so many of us
are still-spared to enjoy -a measure of
health and to meet, each other around this'
board. . vN : ...
I much gratified to state that, during the
past year, besides meeting our current 'ex
penses, we have been able to pay four hun
dred dollars ' oh the ' bonded debt . of the
Society, and that .there is a pros
pect during ' the. coming fiscal year ' of
a stiU funher reduction of that debt:
We acknowledge -the, generous donation
from . the parent., society in New York,
through its Treasurer W. C. Sturgea, of
the sum of four hundred dollars, which
has enabled us to retain the services of our
Chaplain. It has been thought best, in or
der to preserve the building, that some re
pairs should be made to the lower floors
and the iron front and doors should be
painted, and the committee in whose charge
the Home has been placed have contracted
to have the work done, and it will doubt-;
less tend to the preservation of the proper
ty, besides adding to its appearance. For
a detailed condition of the finances of the
Sodety you are referred to the report of
the Treasurer. ... Capt. Christensen, the
keeper of the Home, will report to you of
bis work, . and. the Chaplain Rev, Jl 'B.

I have also visited the. Marine Hospital,
regularly, read the Scriptures and prayed
with and for the sick, and endeavored to
do good in every possible way. I am tlad
to say that I have reason to believe my labors
have not been in vain, but have been blessed "
of God. to the salvation of some souls.
me have gone to I
but I trust with such impressions dn Jheir
' minds and hearts as shall .eventually bring
them to Christ, that they may be saved in
the home pf the good. I am encouragedto
work .when I remember that God has said
"my word shall not return to me void, but
shall accomplish that: whereunto l have
sent it." This work cannot be too highly
estimated when we consider the class of
men who are its real beneficiaries.
