Between the Tides.
A flawless day was the twenty-third c
April iD the year of our Lord eightee
.* hundred and seventy-nine. The regi
lation morning breezes had been lure
* - _ into the poppy fields of Angel islan
and pat to sleep by the narcotic kisse
? of Circe. And even the zephyrs?gen tl
. pages to the erst-while brawlers?ha
? been shut up in the weather clerk'
. signal-box until 3 o'clock in the aftei
noon. Then the yachts came out an
the zephyrs were released. It was nc
; v very good weather for sailing that th
zephyrs made, though they blew ti]
theirrosy cheeks were like soap bubbles
and the white sails were filled wit'
scented breath. The lumbering sehoor
ers staggered in zigzag pathways, as i
they meant to slice awav the islan
noses with their dull prows; and, it
deed, the yachts sailed scarcely an
faster, only the little plungers made ur
checked headway, running at their ow
sweet will, it seemed. The north hai
bor was dotted with sails. Even
body and everybody's wife and childre
and friends were out. So there wa
nothing strange about the more pre:
enceof a young man and a young wo:ra
I in a small rowboat amicl the scenes c
lazy commerce and bnsy gayety. Cei
tainly it was not strange, for there wei
a hundred other people out that aftei
noon in rowboats, to say nothing of tb
i professional boatmen, the men wit
sculls and the rowing clubs. If tL
people on the yachts which they m<
noticed them, they doubtlessly viewe
them with pity mingled with contemp
or else looked at them artistically an

As for the couple in the boat, the
did not notice anything but each othe
?at least except as the young ma
found it necessary to change his direc
tion in rowing to avoid being run dowi
After a while even this became unne(
essary. They were rowing with th
ebb tide, and after they had passed th
* newly-finished bit of sea-wall east c
the old Meiggs wharf, the channel we
comparatively clear. It was then abor
half-past three.
.."Let us float-," said the young man
"pretty soon the tide will turn; the
we will turn."
"Very well, Tom," said the youn
woman.
Really, she was as yet a girl. Sli
could not have been more than nineteei
Her figure was slight, but indicative (
rare gracefulness. Her face was n<
'. pretty?that is, most would not think
,! dretty. Both mouth and nose wei
large. Her eyes were blue, and hel

.. at random from your scrap-book of coi
ventional current fiction, and it woul
be likely to do him more than justiei
But what of that? She was " Laura
and he was "Tom "
They had been talking gayly ev<
since they left the landing at the fo<
of Washington street. When Tom spot
they had apparently reached some con

Hearing the fort at the gate. A sudde
swirl in the current twisted the bow c
v - the boat sharply around. Tom ha
been leaning forward, the better to tal
to Laura, the more easily to hold he
hand, perhaps. As the boat shifted it
direction, he instinctively reached fo
. the oars. His hands touched the erupt
rowlocks. The oars were gone. H
looked around, but they were nowher

said, and the color came back to he
cheek.

"Only we will be out rather late. Whe:
the tide turns we will go back boom

Really he had ^ery little hope. Hi

a | tho irregular bottom of tho boat was
covered with water to the depth of almost
half a foot. When they had

^ | bail braced bis feet against a broad cross
cleet, and Laura's stout boots rested on j
: tbe same dry footbold. Until tben
0 neither bad noticed tbe water.
Tom searched in tbe bottom of tbe
:t boat for a bailing can. llo could not
find one. Laura moved so as to look
v into the little locker under tbe stern
seat. There was no can there.
iv " What shall we do ?" she said.
"I must bail with my hat," he re,0
plied, slowly, as if thinking it out; "the
water must come in very slowly, it is a
v long time since we left Washington
' street wharf." He looked at his watch;
, it was then past four and they were
nearly opposite Foi*t P:>int. So far as
h they could see there was not a single
sail in the ofling. I hey looked back at
the city; there were lo out-coming tngs
0 or steamers, or schooners eren. Then
they looked out through the gate, and
r wondered.
There is an untranslatable poetic
u something about our Golden Gate that
the sympathetic beholder, in-coming or
n out-going, or gazing upon it from auy
standpoint, never fails to realize. ?Some(1
thing which perhaps he acknowledges,
yet may never put it into littingphrases.
Perhaps it is because it seems so to bold
11 the keys of our California life, that we
may not dissociate it from either our
10 history or our future. Perhaps it is because
in looking at it one can never
a quite discern its big beyond, of weal or
of woe, of sunshine or of tempest.
n "We should never have had this sunset
anywhere else, Laura," and Tom
.r pointed to the decliuing sun, hanging
j without a cloud above the wilderness of
i I waves. They looked back at the city,
p J and all the western windows were
: aflame.
j " I did not think before there was so
j much gold in 'Frisco, " said Tom.
1 " Oh, Tom, I don't want to die and
leave it all," said Laura, tremblingly.
s The dallying breeze had shaken off
the spe'l. The air had grown suddenly
chill. Far ahead they could see the |
ominous white of tho careening swell,
>r and along the shore they heard the dull
boom of the surf. Lower and lower
IC j sank the white, electric dazzle; buff and
i pink and orange toning into narrow
,(j j belts of opal. Eight ahead rose the
I black Farailoncs, and as the sun sank I
n j still lower they stood out in unbroken j
; outline against its disk.
! With his soft hat Tom made slow pro- I
lfl : gress in bailing. Until then the water
| had oozed in so slowly that danger from
j leakage had not alarmed him until
! tliun-tlin nnrronf Inn lmil carried tllPm I
,(i | along so gently that tho danger of up|
settiug had not presented itself. But
d I after they passed the fort the motion of
i the waves changed, not suddenly'but
iy | gradually, until at last tho boat was
I rocking like a cedar chip in the eddies
id of a mill-race. And still tho tide had
j not turned.
Ceasing his bailing for an instant
m j Tom thought he heard the sound of
; water trickling into the boat. Perhaps
il it was his instinct of danger and not his
j ears that warned him, for the waves
n j were splashing against the outside, and
j the motion caused a constant lapjiing of
, j the water within the boat. Tom made
a careful examination, and at last found j
a little hole through which the water I
! poured in a fitful stream as the boat
rocked from side to side.
n "I must stop that leak," he said.
"Can you bail?"
rt Tho sun had set and the flush was
fading out of the western sky. In all
'C the waste of waters there was no moving
? object. If there had been a ship in
sight she could have seen it, she thought,
almost despairingly.
She began to bail as well as she could,
with the felt hat, and in her cramped
position. A long line of gray was com.
ing up from the south. ^
}l "It is fog," said Tom, In a whisper.
n Until lie said "It is fog " she did not
** realize tho almost utter hopelessness of
^ their position. Even if the tide should
" turn before they reached tho bar it
!S would be impossible to protect thern?
selves in a fog. For a moment she
" thought she should quite break down,
s the fate before them seemed so terrible.
\* Tom hud succceded in stopping the
? leak and had resumed bailing. To
^ make that task casiei he had cut the
6 brim from his bat. The fog was now
all around them, and it was quite dark.
5> They thought they heard the surf more
k distinctly.
f" " The tide has turned," said Tom.
lj And so it had, but just how they
" would be affected by the change they
'* could not tell. Tom kept on bailing
y until the amount of water in the boat
l" had materially decreased. They had
n not spoken to each other for some mo- j
r* ments. (At last Laura leaned fo1. ard.
Her hand touched Tom's, and he tc ok it i
a in his own. That hand-clasp mea.it to j
13 them things unspeakable. Her hand j
3" I was very cold, almost as cold as his own. I
? ; In his pocket was a silk handkerchief; j
u 1 ho handed it to her and bade her tie it
r* ! about her neck, for he dared not rise to
e fasten it ihere himself. Then he took
r" i both her hands between his own, striv,e
j ing to keep then; warm.
k Laura was-" tho lirU to speak, and her
ie voice was quite firm, scarcely even sorrowful:
"Tom, dear, I ^o not want to
d die; and yet death cannot iake from us
j the boon of having died together."
^ " But we shall not die now, Lanra; I
16 j know we'll not." There was the ring of
I conviction in his toi es. The profound
J resignation underlying her words had
:r struck the right key in his own nature,
n and the thought of his first despairing
mood made him almost angry. "But
it's awfully hungry we are, my dear,"
5* | were his next words.
e j " I'm ashamed of you," said Laura, j
? j and she actually laughed. Tom laughed
)f 1 also.
] When two persons in such a position j
L* can laugh, it is either " very brave" of j
i " very shocking," according to the creed
1? j we first sucked and tlie "so forth " of ;
n j our salad days.
The fog was all around tliem, and !
8 neither could see the other's face. The |
i fog was cold, and from time to time i
16 Laura nad shivered once or twice, audi- i
! bly, thongh quite involuntarily, for she j
" ; was a brave little woman. When the j
; ripple of the young girl's laughter rang i
out amid the fog (above the boom of j
'? j the surf, the far-away barking of the sea |
" j lions on Seal rocks, and the near, yet I
iS j distant, scream of the fog signal), and j
0 when his own laughter was smothered j
" I in the fog folds, Tom repeated: "But I >
am hungry, awfully?"
; What he might have gone on to say is
forever sealed. The next moment the i
! boat struck something with great mo- ;
lU : centum, and that is all Liura remem- :
bered till she awoke in the queer little
" ; cabin of the Sarah Emma, brigantine, j
in-bound from Australia.
A woman's gentle face bent above her ]

,l gangway, with glad tears in his eyes to i

-1" j cheeks.
? " And now you must have a bit to j
? j eat," said the captain's wife, in hospita- j
e' j ble accents.
J,; But Laura shut her eyes, half niali- |
? I ciously, and murmured: "Give il to j
! him, please; he's always hungry."
" That's what you'll not dare say when
_ | you become Mrs. Tom," said the young j
! man, triumphantly; and as the matronly j
figure of the captain's wife disappeared j
l~ j in the shadow of the gangway, he kissed i

"OLD HICKORY-*" SOSE.
Llrutrnnnt Randolph'* Attnck on Prrnld
ill JnckNon.
A Washington letter gives the following
account of an affair which created a
great stir at the time it occurred, Lieutenant
Randolph's attack on President
Jackson in 1833:
Lieutenant Robert B. Randolph, of
11 1 1 11- . / -! X- n i. *!._
uie navv, on uoaru ine ingaie vjuusuiution,
was appointed by Captain Patterson,
in the year 1828, to assume the duties
of acting purser, in the place of'
John B. Timberkke, the purser, who, i
in a tit of drunken delirium, had com- |
mitted suicide. Timberlake was the
first husband of the future Mrs. General
John H. Eaton, iicc Peggy O'Neal, who
enjoys the dubious honor of having
caused the dissolution of General Jaok- |
son's first Cabinet. Randolph took !
charge of the oflice or duties of purser,
and, in his statement of the case, he com- !
plains that the survey and inventory re- j
quired by the regulations or the law !
were not made, and that he was held j
accountable for an amount of stores
which were not 011 hand. After some !
years lie was found to be a defaulter, on I
what he insisted was an assumed state j
of facts, when he took charge of the j
pursersliip. A court of inquiry was appointed
to investigate his accounts.
Their report exonerated him from an
intentional misuse of the public property,
but not from the default. They
reported him to be careh ss or neglectful,
though not dishonorable. Otiier
i -n;..; ? a 1 1
wise lie was uu eminent uiuuei, vtuuuuii i
rendered the country valuable service. i
On this report General Jackson dismiss- j
etl liini from the service, in spite of the i
strenuous efforts of influential friends !
in his behalf. It was to avenge himself
for this injustice, as he regarded it, that
he made the violent assault upon the
President. The friends of General Jackson
were never willing to admit the fact,
but his opponents insisted that Kan- j
dolph pulled the old hero's nose. That j
seems to have been the purpose of the j
ruffian, at any rate ; and the blood upon i
the general's face would seem to prove j
that the attempt was sueceseful.
The opportunity for this outrage was j
furnished by a trip of the President, a I
portion of his Cabinet, his private secre- j
tary, and other friends, down the Poto- j
mac to Fredericksburg, in Virginia, to I
witness the ceremony of laving the cor- ;
ner-stono of the monument to the j
memory of the mother of Wash- |
ington. The boat stopped at J
Alexandria for a few moments, and j
while there a number of persons came j
1 1 \rr "Ron- I

dolphf tlie late lieutenant in the navy,
who had recently been dismissed from
the service. He entered the cabin
where the President was seated and engaged
in reading a newspaper. lie advanced
toward the President as if to address
him, and seemed to be in the act
fo drawing his glove. "The Presiden,"
says the account in the Globe, "not
knowing him, and supposing it was
some person about to salute him, and
seeing him at some difficulty in getting
oil" his glove, stretched out his hand to- j
ward him saying, 'Never mind your j
glove, sir.' Randolph having then disengaged
himself from his gloves, thrust
one hand violently into the President's
face, and before ho could make use of
the other received a blow from a gentleman
standing near by him with an umbrella.
Almost at the same time two
other gentlemen in the cabin sprang
upon him, and he was dragged back and !
thrown down.
"The moment ho was assaulted ;
the President seized his cane, j
which was lying near him on the table,
and was forcing his way through tho 1
gentlemen who had crowded round j
Randolph, insisting that no man should i
stand between him and the villain who ;
had insulted him ; that he would chas- j
tiso him himself. Randolph by this
time had been borne toward the door of
the cabin, .and pushed through it to tho
deck. H^ made his way through the j
crowd on the deck and the wharf, being i
assisted, as is believed, by some ruffian 1
confederates, and made his escape. He
stopped for a few moments at a tavern,
in A lAYrirwlrin nnrl rmssed on bevond '
the district line. The grand jury, then j
in session, in a few minutes found a
presentment against him, and the court
issued a bench warrant. A magistrate
had just previously issued a warrant, j
but beforethst officer cduUI arrest him
he was gone."
An eye-witness, writing to tho Richmond
Enquirer, gives some additional
particulars, as follows: "When the
President said, 'Never mind your glove, j
sir,' Randolph said in a low tone that he
came to 'take his revenge by pulling his
nose,' suiting the action to the word.
The President exclaimed in astonishment,
'What, sir! What, sir!' Randolph
on the instant was struck by Mr.
Potter with an umbrella a very severe
blow, which knocked him against the |
berth. Captain Brown seized him and
dragged him with violence from the j
Piesident, and Major Donaldson rushed I
toward the table in his anxiety j
to protect the President. It was j
the work of an instant. The President |
exclaimed, seizing his stick, 'Let no
man interfere between me and this per- j
sonal assault; I am an old man, but |
perfectly capable of defending myself !
against, and punishing a dozen cowardly |
assassins.' It is said that a person ;
named Thomas approached the President,
and, tendering his hand, observed !
that if he would promise to pardon him j
he would murder the dastard. The |
President put by his hand, saying : 'No, j
sir ; I do not wish the majesty of the .
laws insulted for me. I am capable of ;
defending myself against insult.' "

Precious Dirt.
Great care is taken in the shops of j
jewelers and others where articles are |
manufactured of gold to prevent tliei
waste of the precious metal. Every !
scrap of tiling, scraping or grinding is
preserved for the assayer. The buff
wheels on which gold or silver are pol- I
islied, when they are worn out, are '
burned, and the tire soon develops tine ,
particles of tho precious metals that 1
canuot be seen with the naked eye. :
Even the sweepings of the shops are ;
kept, and are worth about 870 a barrel
after the most scrupulous care has been
taken to prevent stray pieces getting in j
to it. It is said that the Scotch assayers
are most successful. Sometimes assay
ers will buy the sweepings of a shop at
a given price per barrel, taking the jisk
of what they will yield.
Whenever a shop tloor is to be taken ;
up and renewed, it is always calculated i
that the dirt accumulated in the crevices j
will more than pay the cost of the new j
tloor. Jewelers say that the value of i
the shop dirt is owing to the dust of |
metals that is blown about the place, ;
and not from any carelessness of work- j
men. Even after the assayers have got j
through the loss on jewelers' stock is |
generally about two per cent. This in- j
eludes whatever may be taken, if any- i
thing, by dishonest workmen.?Next j

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Feeding nnd Cure of Chickens.
Many go out early in the morning and
give their fowls a hearty meal of corn or
other grain, leaving them as stupid all
the fore part of the day as a stuffed
anaconda.
Not so. Allow them to shirk for
themselves in the fore part of the day,
especially in the warm summer mornings,
when numerous insects and worms
are out. Make them industrious?get
their own living when possible, and
give them their food after they have
dono their own level best to get a living.
It is the active and not the stupid

Farmer Graham says ho has never had
ajy difficulty with gapes in his chickens.
His plan is to keep everything
perfectly clean about the hennery. His
hens roost in one apartment; have their
nests and sit in another. When any hen
has hatched her chickens, he immediately
cleans out the nest, whitewashes
the place, making everything clean, then
putting in fresh straw or hay. He cleans
the roosting-place every two weeks,
whitewashing and sprinkling on a little
lime.
Cullivntp During n Drought.
Cultivating the soil in a dry season
helps to retain the moisture. This will
not appear strange if wo recollect that
water is conveyed through the soil in
capillary tubes; these being broken by
cultivation, the water cannot pass
through them readily. The following
experiments in regard to the retention
of water in the soil during dry tinr.es
were made at the Massachusetts Agricultural
college. They were made by
taking three different kinds of soilclay,
loam and light sandy loam?filling
two boxes with each and sinking them
into the ground until level with the surface,
previously weighing them. One
box of each kind of soil was hoed every
morning and the other boxes left uncul
tivatecl. This practice was Kept up un ;ii
it rained, which in this instance was
seven days. The boxes were then takon
up and weighed to ascertain the amount
of moisture lost, with tho following result:
The clay soil, tilled, lost at the
rate of 004 barrels per acre: the unfilled,
1,170 barrels per acre, or 2GG
barrels more than the cultivated area.
The tilled, sandy loam lost at the rate
off>42 barrels per acre, and the untilled1,27G
barrels, or 73-4 barrels the
most. The heavy loam tilled lost at the
rate of 1,10G barrels per aero, the unfilled
1,320 barrels, or 223 barrels more
than the tilled. The average loss per
day of the tilled loam was at tho rate of
158 barrels per acre and of the unfilled
180 barrels; of the tilled clay 120 barrels
and of the unfilled 1G7 barrels;
from the tilled sand seventy-seven barrels,
from the unfilled 1G7 barrels. In
other words a farmer cultivating an acre
of land under like circumstances, would
save 25G, 734 or 223 barrels of water in
the same time, according as his land is
clay, sand or loam, which would have
been lost by evaporation hud not the
land been tilled.
A Knt-Proof Corn Crib.
A correspondent of the Practical
Faimer gives iho following directions
for making that most necessary offarm
buildings, a rat-proof com crib: iiuild
a good substantial house, twelvo feet
wido, eight feet high and as long as you
want it. This will give you two cribs,
one on either side. Put your buildings
on stone pillars, ono foot above ground.
Side up with lath two and a quarter
inches by ono inch, of hard wood (I
used oak), pntting thorn on up ami
down, being careful to havo them half
an inch apart. The gable3 and any
part of the building that does not come
in contact with the corn can be sided
up with common pine boards; for bottoms
of cribs, lathes lengthwise, onehalf
inch apart; balance of flo. r
between cribs lay tight of pine board.
My building has a string of ties between
tbe sill and plate to nail to and cross
ties to hold tho building together.
Every eight feet on these ties spike a
good strong studding or narrow plank
across them lengthwise of tho building
as far from plate as you want the width
of top of crib, then set up studding from
floor, as many as will tbe sufficiently
strong for crib; mortice the end in floor,
gain the top into the horizontal studding
about three-qnarters of an inch
then lathe the inside of tho crib witl;
any kind of latlie, just close enough to
keep in the corn, commencing ten inches
from tho floor to leave room for thocorn
to come clown into the trough, putting
these lath on lengthwise. Then put a
common-sized door in the end, between
the cribs. You can put a lock on the
door, and all is secure. (I did not
lock mine, and gained something by it,
as I found a stray mitten in the crib on
a cold morning.) To get tbe corn in
the crib make doors above iho plc.te
tho size you want them, tho same as
dormer windows, and Lang tho doors
on, and it will be completed. If any
one wishes to have a granary they can
use one side of the building for that
purpose and tho other for crib. The
sizo of my cribs is three feet in the clear
at bottom and five at top, but I ara well
satisfied they might be much wider and
still the corn would cure well. Any
one wanting wider cribs can build tho
houso wide enough to sui!. I have
used this crib for about ten years and
can reconimeud it as an entire success.
The secret of this crib is putting the
lathe on up and down. This gives
no place for the rats to stand on to cut
holes, and tlie building being one foot j
above ground they cannot reach the j
bottom. Wo are infested with swarms i
of gray rats, and there is not a builiing i
on tho farm from which wo can keep |
them out except tho corn crd>. We 1
keep corn over a year until tho new
crop is gathered in perfect safety.

Do not allow the soil about young

but keep it clean and constantly mellow. |
A mixture of lime and phosphates ;
sprinkled over the cut potatoes a day or I

It is said tbat new ground soil mixed I
with the manure for the melon patch !
will prevent rust and brown patches on :
tho melons and keep the vines green i
longer than usual. Experienced grow- !
ers have discovered that melons and j
vines do not rust on new land as they
do on old even in seasons of extreme :
wet.
Wo frequently see the use of char- '
coal for fowls advocated. If pulverized
finely and mixed with soft food it
will be eaten and is beneficial. Corn
on the cob placed in the fire or in an
oven until it is charred, and then I
shelled, is eagerly eaten and is a de- j
cided improvement 011 any other form
of charcoal.
Never keep an old hen. After the
second year hens, as a rule, diminish in ;
laying power. Of course the quantity '
of eggf? a fowl will lay as well as the 1
season lor laying can be regulated to n
certain extent by care and feeding, but j
unless a hen is of a very valuable breed
or especially useful as a setter or (
mother, it does not pay to keep her
after she is three years old.
It is claimed by eome feeders that
100 pounds of comnieal and 400 pounds
of bran mixed will give a greater pain
in flesh than 200 pounds of meal fed
alone. Moid and bran mixed is more j
perfect feed than meal alone. Bran !
contains a larger percentage of plios- ;
phoric acid, potash and nitrogen than '
Indian meal, while the hitter contains
more oil, sugar and starch than the for- j
mer.
Tho ono year-old grapevines set this 1
spring should be allowed to grow but
one shoot. If older vines weie set they
should not be allowed to bear, but devote
all their energies in getting established.
All growing shoots should be j
kept secured to stakes or trellises.
Tho fruit canes of the blackberries
and raspberries should be tied up to 1
stakes or trellises. The young growing ,
canes form the fruiting ones for next
year; cut away nil except three to five
to each stool, and when large enpugh
tie them up; they should be pinched
oir at four feet for raspberries and six j
feet for blackberries.
A correspondent of tho New York
II arid says he has found stable manure,
ground bone, ashes and guano all very
good fertilizers for onions. The best !
plan is to plow the stable manure in. !
The ground should be plowed deep
either in tho fall or early spring; fall
plowing is generally preferred. Bone
or ashes can bo harrowed in after the
ground is plowed. Ho always takes ,
guano in after the harrowing is done.
Guano does first-rate with other ma- |
nureo. It give? the young plantu an
early start. j

a body of Mexicans near Tombstone, Arizona,
and four of them were killed and one ac/iouslv

says t'f the affair: "The immediate cause oI
tho killing is as follows: A party of ' Rustlers,'
as they are called, wont into Mexico last month
and stole some cattle. They wore followed by
Mexicans, who got so close upon them that
they uvre obliged to abandon the stock. This
was ir a point in the vicinity of tho late murder.
The .Mexicans took the stock and started
back home, picking up such cattle and horses
as tli -v chanced to meet. The stork was
missed, and a party of sixteen Americans
started in pursuit, overtook the Mexicans, had
a iigl.t with them and retook the dock. Tiiii
occurred during the latter pari of July. It is

Uuiteau's Attack on His Unard. , n
Tho following account of the attack ot I e:
Guitcau, President Gartield's murderous as- j fi]
sailant. on his prison guard at Washington, ! jj
was given by W. ('. McGill, Jr., the son of the j ,1
assaulted jailor: At about 1:30 o'clock a. m., | 11
; (iuitoau,. the assassin of the President, at- p
1 tempted to assassinate the officer who has , 0
| charge of him, W, C. McGill. Word reached i S!
the jail about that time that the President was !
dying. By some means unknown this informai
tion v.as conveyed to (iuiteau. A few mo- K
: ments later a sentry, who has been placed 011
: duty at tho end of the corridor upon which | j(
Guiteau's window looks, noticed hint acting in ai
j a peculiar manner. He immediately reported
to McGill, and that oftic:r upon going to the s<
! cell found Guitcau upon the bed iu a partly re- U
cumbcnt position, reffting on his left elbow. Ci
Suspecting I'.iat Guitcau hail attempted to ^
1 comiuit suicide no entered the cell, ami by the j
dim light of the gas in the opposite corridor he ?
: saw a knife clinched in tin- assassin's hand, ft
< Drawing his revolv. r he leveled it at Guitcau, n
1 and demanded the knife. The revolver was not p
j cocked, and was drawn merely to intimidate. ,,
When the knife was first demanded tho pris- .
! oner replied: "By God, 1 haven't no knife," "
i and upon tho reiteration of his command the I s<
1 guard approached nearer and to the right of I
j the prisoner. There was a space of about two
j feet I r?ween them. Ouiteau then sprang to |
bis feet, and springing forward made a down- I n
waul swoep with the knife, cutting the outer tJ
: clothes of his guard. Seeing that his attempt si
was unsuccessful, lie made a rapid retrogade | C)
movement and managed to secure tho guard's 1
arms. ,,
| Thereupon a struggle took place that, while
i it lasted, was fast and furious for about live C1
minutes. Tho rest of tin- oOiccrs, being on the
rounds, were not aware of the strugglo that was ,
going 011 iiifide. Finally Voth fell upon the P
1 bed, and whilo still struggling the pisrol was "
dropped upon the mattre-s. As soon as tLi 1 was a,
done Guitcau, whose evident intention it was a;
to securo tho pistol, loosened his graap and w
liliiue Savage grasp lor XIIC wi-upm, uiii uil- V
I guard was too quick for him and secured it.
| Ho cocked it, but before lie could use it Gui- a'
tcau was upon him. Mr. McGill warned him a
to rclcaso' nim or he would firo; but Guiteau did p
not heed him and made frantic endeavors to ?
, secure the revolver. 13v an almost super- .
human effort the guard managed to free his
right hand and placed the pistol over his right .s'<
1 shoulder with his lingers on the trigger. Guiteau
grasped his arm and, disconcerting his
i aim, caused the pistol to go off toward the
| ceiling. | S
j Tuo report bronght the guard, Mr. Jones, j w
and the sergeant of the soldiers who are sta- i
tioned at the jail to the cell. When they came
Guiteau released his hold and dropped" on his j a
bed, crying: " They are trying to kill me; give j (J
mo my pistol; it belongs to me."
He "was secured and locked up, and the knife .
, was taken from the cell, which was thoroughly j
| searched for other weapons. Mr. McGill is a j
i short, thickset man, weighing alout two hnn- j _
dred pounds, and while stout is n= >t muscular.
Guiteau is more active and siippl", and thus is I ^
enabled to move more rapidly and use himself tl
to a better advantage in a hand-to-hand en- w
counter with an average built person. The
knife which the assaa-tin used was known as the
"cheescr" at the jail, it is a shank used in _
the sole of shoes, and is very often removed by *
prisoners, who can sharpen it on the saudstoue h
window-ledge to almost a razor-like sharpness. J)
It is used by them for shading, and is of the
bestof.sie.fi. It is about five inches in length ?'
and a i|iiai'terof an inch in wldih. About three ?
inches of this weapon were sharpened and the
rest was wrapped in paper and tii-d by twine so
as to form a substantial handle. It is altogether
an ugly weapon in the hands of a desperate
criminal, who has shown no more regard for
life th in a (log. _
The pirtol which figured in the affray is a r
small latest pattern improved Smirli A Wesson
revolver, seven chambers and .'W-ca liber. There
is no doubt but that if Guiteau had obtained it
he would have killed the guard.
What Lis motive was cannot be imagined a
unless it was in revenge for the command to ^
>ield up his kuifc. lie is an extremely sensitive
man. and probably the rather harsh comi
mand,'drop that cheeser," angered him: for
lie made no demonstration when his cell was
lirst opened. Another motive that has I teen ch
brought forward is that he did it for revenge, *j
as my lather was engaged in making fun of '*
him about a week ago. We should jud,;?. how- ci
ever, that this assault was the malieioiu
instinct ot' the brute. It was not an afvmpf to
escape, for that would have ben impossible, t'
as the lest of the guards were in the rotunda
and an armed sentry was posted at the head of
the corridor and within easy calling distance of I*
the guard had he chose to call. Coiitidi nt that j"^1
he could overcome the assas-iu, liedid not call,
but fought it out alone. Had it not Urn for "
lie accidental discharge of the pi-Uol the conntry
might have hecn freed IVom trying this di
dollbl'-dved scamp.
Alter tiie ait'rav Guiteau spoke of it as a prearranged
plan to kill him, torgettiug the tact
that lie made the lirst hostile assault. Heap- j
pea red perfectly cool and collected when he
was disarmed, but the gleam of his eves boiled ki
no good to any one who was concerned should "
he have ihi-opportunity of doing harm.
j During the tussle lie made no cry, and his
object seemed to be only to tako the life of one in
who had him in custody, for he attributes ill : '
his sutf tings to those in whoso charge lie is. cr
Ho obtained information as to the condition "

Annoyances ol Editors,
Not editoi s alone but nearly all busiess
men daily receive communications
om individuals in whom they have not
le slightest interest, butwho.nevertheiss,
feel terribly aggrieved if the most
useless inquiry is not immediately angered
by the long-suffering portion of
umanity whose trials Job himself could
jarcely have borne with patience.
Some persons seem to Lave a mistaken
npression that the business of other
eople couldn't be carried on at all
itliout "valuable suggestions and adice
from themselves," said "advice"
enerally coming in a badly speUed,
orribly written missive, informing the
elighted recipient that " he's an idiot,
ad that the writer always knew he
as." Of course all dissatisfied corespondents
don't express their opinions
1 the above straightforward manner,
ut pay what, in the end, really
mounts to about the same thing.
As a rule, editors are not unwilling
) answer respectful queries, or those
aat can in any way benefit the quesoner
or the public; but when, during
political campaign, somebody wants
) know if the aspirant for gubernatorial
onors really did throw his mother-inlw
ove: a mammoth two-inch boulder
lto a roaring, rushing,foaming,fathom;ss
was.htub below, or why it isn't
rammatical to say "them ink bottles
i mine," tho avetage editor is apt to
ine for a " lodge in some vast wilderess."
Another annoyance is caused by asirants
to literary honors, who begin by
lying: " 1 now take my pen in hand,"
ad asking why they can't write length ise
and crosswise, and diagonally
cross the paper when they send an
rticle for publication. If some such
riginal genius didn't take special pains
j say he took the pen in his band, al
lost any editor would be just foolish
oough to imagine that the writer
lioved it up under his left optic, or
!ed it to a lock of his auburn hair, but
3e positive statement that he holds the
en in his band precludes the possibility
f any conjecture on the subject, thus
wing the editor's valuable time, as he
light otherwis: spend several precious
linutes speculating on the matter.
Then there are the "chronic grumbsrs"
who never were satisfied with
uything, and never will be, and who
and delightful autograph letters to the
nfortunate publisher of some paper,
ompluining that he " prints too much
ash, and too little sense, or too much
jnse, and too littlo trash," anything in
ict that will do to growl about, and
lake people think the sun is under a
ermanent eclipse. Then, ^too, the
sweet affection " that exists between
ie editors of rival papers must be a
jurce of intenso gratification to all
unearned; and be accused of conductlg
any publication simply from merceary
motives, when everybody knows
aat editors are dead-heads, and povertyfcrieken
beings anyhow, must soon
luse regret for the vanished days ol
appy childhjod, when they could play
mumblety-jeg" with the tolerable
ertainty of "litting somebody with the
eadly weapm used in that delightfel
ame. Thei e are but a few of the daily
ials to wkch editors are subjected,
[though " 1 f.e is not all dark" to them
oymore thi,n individuals who follow
sme other profession. Most people
ave as many friends as they deserve,
ad doubtless the delight of occupying
conspicuous position at circuses and
ublic entertainments more than eounjrbalance
any trilling annoyance like
ie few herein Mentioned.?bin S. Hud

Lions in iirica ]ejS iUV
A recent traveler in eqnatorial Africa q
says: Lions are one of the dangers
| between Zanzibar and the great lakes. . j
I They sometimes hnnt game in packs of weei..
six to eight. Some animals show fight
against them si ccessfully. Lions never ^
venture to attack the adult elephant, ,,
and even a* oid the buffalo, unless they
are more thru two to one. In general E
they do not attack caravans, and never ^-itjfout
in daytime. At most a hungry lion may doctor i
spring upon and carry off a'straggler adverti*
while passing through the brakes and ^hicjij
jungles. But it is otherwise at night. Bittora!
When lions scent the caravan from afar, ?
particularly if itcontains goats or beasts ^
of burden, they approach and announce
their [vicinity by terrific roars. Never- Pem?'
theles3 in a well inclosed camp there is J8
no danger; the lions never attempt to J3 ^
clear the obstacles, and marksmen from ? Pr?J
behind palisades can pick them off with J*orris
almost unfailing aim. There is danger
only when the camp is not completely ^
inclosed, or when those inside go out jarring
to attack them. kidnovs
