roil l ?T. LADIES.
Kanclnaird by <ipern Stnsers.
A correspondent of the Chicago Inter- \
Ocean, referring to the fascinat ion opera
singers in their stago make-up have for j
suscepiible and sillv young women, and
the unplea-ant consequences oitcu the i
resnlt, says:
"It is a fact, with one or two excep-!
tions, all the best known singers arc i
married men with fa- ilies, and I do no?
know one of them who, in private life, ;
could ho called handsome; yot they nil,
even gomgortsideiheranksof singi rs,to
that gross ft*iiow--Levy?toCampaniiji, i
red-faced, and with live c-hildnn. ;
are inundated v.ith love litters, hou- ,
quets and presents. The :nen who have j
the most common sense and the most
principle langhat these epistics and do ,
stroy them?a good thing for the writers
?but there art: others, loss honorable, j
who do not hesitate to take advantage ;
in various wa;s of these pretty little J
ninnies."
The correspondent then cites a mini- >
ber of instances, among them the fol- j
lowing: j
"The seveuteen-ycar-old daughter of
Dr. VV , of this* city, fell, or imag i
ined she did, wildly in love with a mel- j
low-voiced baritouo in the ?-IapIeson I
company. Under an assumed name sbo j
wrote him gushing and romantic notes,
and finally sent her pliotograph. The j
face was so lovely that it piqued the (
singer's cariosity, but it was i:: vain he |
pleaded for an opportunity to tee it.
Miss W could only enjoy her esca- 1
pade as Ion* as she maintained her in- '
cognito. Finally the baritone, noting i
the name of tha photographer, visited j
his parlor and ascertained his cone- !
spondent's name. Then he wrote io
her under her real address, saying ho j
had identified her, and she could take !
the choice of having her picture and
notes back and giving him 8200 in cash,
or he would tell a reporter of the Police !
Gazeltthe story and have the picture j
published. There is little likelihood
such a threat would have been carried
out,'but the girl wa3 so terribly frightened
that she sent him all tha money 1
she could scrape together, and the rest
of the sum in jewelry."
" A case of basso infatuation was that
of a daughter of tn ex-senato , still ,
prominent in Washington circles, who j
used to spend all her pin money in buy- !
ing presents and baskets of flowers j
which she sent Conlev. In some mys- !
terious way her father received a hint ,
of it, and the young lady was seut to I
the Georgia convent, where she was j
educated for a couple of years by way :
of punishment. Castle, though neither i
so young nor so charming as he once i
was, still receives lends of gushing j
epistles which Mrs. Oastlo demurely '
twists into cigar-lighters, and lirignoti '
says: I haf teached missclf ze inglis j
langtiage with these liddle lettres.' In
Chicago your correspondent is told i
there resides a wealthy and charming I
young married lady who entertains j
handsomely and is well known in society,
but who distracts her elderly
husband by a mania for making the acquaintance
of evety new maio smgev of
note, and entertaining him with the
greatest elegance and expense."
Sometimes the giddy i lungs are taught
needed lessons by sensible singers, as
witness tins:
" Another ease v. it h o. better ending wus
that of a young lady whoso father is .
well known on the stock exchange. She j
was violently srnitteu with Campanini,
' and used to send him no end of Leanti- 1
fully written missives, and every night j
a bouquet of red roses. The letters i
especially attracted the attention of the :
tenor, because they were written in
smoothly flowing Italian, and evidently
by some one who was more romantic
than fivst or wild. There was little
trouble in finding out the fair corre- |
spondvnt, a.:d Mine. Campanini, who
has a good and lovely soul, sent a no':e i
to the yqpug lady and asked her to eaii. j
It is ceenje.ss to way the letter's delightful
delusions were quickly dispelled
before the domestic life of the silvertoned
tenor and the kindly advice of
his good wife."
I'rtttiiion Noicm.
The trains to evening dresses are of
moderate length.
Brocade silks and satina show immense
floral designs.
Open Saxton embroideries come in
black and white surah, nuu's veiling
and cashmere.
Surah moire is the name of a raw material
designed for dress trimmings and
millinery purposes.
Long plaid skirts of velvet will be j
worfi with Louis XV. coats and scarf
draperies of li^ht-huc-d brocade.
"My lady" jackets cf dark green
cashmere embroidered in gold or silver, ,
and fastened with small buttons to
match, are imported.
Hungarian scarfs of scarlet, green and
" gold striped surah are draped over jersey
costumes of dark rnvrtie green, admiral
blue or jet black.
Picturesque hats are the great round j
hats of plush, felt or beaver, larger thau
any yet worn, with tapering crowns and
wreaths of nodding plumes.
The nev/ cloaks are extremely long
and expose gay-colored liniugsof plush.
-Plush cloaks and velvet cloaks, beaded
from neck to heel, are among leading j
styles.
The steel beads so popular in emlocf
von.
6on have disappeared; the fancy is for j
ombre beading in eolois seen in the
fabric.
Ligbc.silk and wool 81nils in bright
contrasting stripes, or in gay miW-Jleur !
designs, are exhibited, which are to ,
make very handsome yet durable dresses j
for school girls.
Square, nautical looking collars of
Oriental brocade, or plaided surah, with
large b'>w knotted at the throat in true
sailor fashion, arc very popular with
stylish young girls.
Bullion plush, a new fabric for opera
cloaks, has gold or silver threads mixed
with its binck or white pile. Cloaks
made of bullion plush are lined with
plain plush of bright color.
Children's costumes, are, if possible,
more picturesqe and quaint than ever.
The popular materials, plash and moire,
enter largely into their composition, as
do small figured dam as so silks.
Some Famous Trees.
A perfectly formed red wood treo is
growing near Gutrr.eville, Cal., that
is eighteen feet six inches across the
stump five feet from -he ground, and
stands 5>07 feet high.
A popiar tree i.i \\aukesha, 'Wis., is
attracting attention by its being completely
covered with small insects resembling
caterpillars. In iome places
they are two inches thick.
In the old liogers burying ground
near Chatham, N. C, an oak treo has
grown 011 a grave in which a person
was bnried seventv-tive Vt ars no-o. nm!
the tree is now five feet in diameter.
In La* is ymuty, Kv.. a mammoth
tree ree<-'?ily cut tlmt is beiievc-d to
have le-n .<00yours old. It was nixteen
feet in diameter, llfOfcet high, and
yielded ou,4<32 feet of lumber and
twenty-Jive ordi of Wbod.
In the viilago of Noebdenifz. Saxony,
is an oak who.se- aged and i;i !i i m branches
ore propped up ail around by beams.
Its' trunk has been nsfd many years as
a burial sault. its lower pa:f, which
measures fourteen ells in circumference,
is hollow, and the apeiture to this great
ewe is closed by a lattice work made
of iron bars. Through this soit of
window the unsuspecting stranger who
is first led up to take a peep perceives
with amazement the skeleton of a man
seated in the middle of the hollow.
It is the skeleton of the lord of Wiutcrtheira,
who died about a century ago,
and whose choice of this fingular mode
of sepulture is very minutely described j
by the inevitable guide vsho shows the 1
place.
A correspondent cf the San Francisco
Examiner, in speaking of the big trees
of Calaveras county, says: In the stump
of one of :hf*sf> trees a ballroom th.rty
three feet ac? oss in built, and it requires
a ladder of eighteen steps to ascend to
the top of the 1 -g, o:t which was built a
tenpin alley. 1: hns been burned up,

some niuety of th*Fe big trees, nieas- j
wing from 50 to 100 feet in circumference,
a'ld reaching up to the skies?
from to 450 feet. From the rings
that demote the annual growth of these
trees science has e.>tiioated some of
them to be 4,000 years old, while they
stand over the fallen bodies of a much
older growth, covered over with earth j
and large growing trt'v, a* it is one of
the peculiarities of tin* tuu'oer not to

The nev.s of the death abroad recently
rti lloviiifiw V. Tmrlo ivcfill>< tho bvii'lit
career and remarkable achievements of
:i distinguished Amcriesm civil engineer.
Mr. Towle was a passenger on the
famous Gr^at Eastern during her memorable
voyage across the Atlantic when
she encountered a great f-torm, which
broke her steering appaiatus. Her
commander and crew could do nothing
in the terrible emergency, and she lay
practically helpless at the mercy u? (he
waves. In this critical moment Mr.
Towlf> carefully ami with wonderful
self-possession examined the broken
machinery and rigged up from the
material at han.l an apparatus
of his own designing, which
proved equal to the urgent needs of the
situation. The improvised, rudder
brought the great vessel safely in port,
and the distinguished American received
from the griteful pas?eus;eis,
who deemed their lives to liare been
saved by him, the gift of a superb gold
watch, ornamented with costly jewels,
and engraved with a memoi:?.l inscription
commemorating his historical fsat
of engineering. This timepiece he
wore with conscious pride during his
lifetime, and he also exhibited at times,
with au equally pardonable egotism, a
medal presented to him by an English
humane society in rccoguition of his
achievement. The steamship owners, of
ail who profited by his knowiedge of engineering,
however, were, it seems, the
only ones t') dispute the value of his
splendid services, and he was compelled
to bring suit to recover the salvage to
which he was justly entitled. At li e
time of the terrible shipwreck of the
ill fated Atlantic lit* delivered a lecture
iu Cooper Institute, asserting boldly,
according to his knowledge of navigation,
that the disaster was attributable
to faulty seamanship. From early boyhood
he displayed a noteworthy inventive
faculty, and rigged up all sorts of ingenious
toy water-wheels and the like.
This profuse and surprising supply of
clever ideas seemed to grow with his
years, and the ingenious conceptions
with which his active, mature braiu
teemed, and many of which bore fruit
in useful engineering inventions
seemed endless. He designed a
surveying level, which met a iong-felt
need; was instrumental in the perfection
of the Towle bell-register, adopted
by the Third avenuo surface railway at
he adven1". of ihe bell-punch, and was
interested in a host of other inventions,
of which a machine for type-setting,
self inking letter-stamps, telegraphic
instruments, arg&cd burners, patent
washing chemicals, theodolites, and
weighing scales werebut; a few. Before
his illness he was head of the Towle
^Manufacturing company, in Cortlandt
street, in this city. The saddest feature
of his death is that it is reported to lmve
been duo to fhe weakening of a brain
whose sticngth and extensive creative
power made liici r.t times a marvel to
his friends and associates.?Xac York

A Cow's Cud.
The situation, the structure and the
size of the rumen or paunch point it out
a-; the first and general receptacle f?>r
the food, which receives in the mouth
only sufficient mastication to enable the
animal to swallow it. When swallowed
it is then leceived by the rumen, and
morsel after morsel is taken until this,
Iho first of the animal's four stomachs,
is comparatively full. A sense of repletion
precedes rumination, during
which uet I lie animal generally prefers
a recumbent posture. It u not to be
supposed that nil food taken is again
rua-iiiated; it is only the bulky or
solid portions that undergo the proce-s.
When the rumen is moderately full it
will contract on its contents, and first
squeeze out the lluid portions, which
will pa*s onward inti. the third or fourth
stomachs, white the solid part will be
embraced by ihe oesophagus or stomach
iiihp. and returned to the month. By
the term " loss of the end" is meant a
cessation of the chewing of the cad,
which occurs as a svm/ torn of most internal
dissase in cattle.
A Thorough Job. I
Judgo M , a well known jurist
living ne.ir Cincinnati, was fond of relating
this anecdote. He had once occasion
to sc-nd to the village for a carpenter,
and a sturdy young fellow appeared
with his tools.
" I want this fence mended to keep
the cattle. There are some unplaned
boards- use them. It is out of sight
from the house, so you need not take
time to make it a neat job. I will only
; pav vou a dollar and a half."
Tlu> judge weut to dinner, and ooming
out lound the man carefully planing
e;uti board. Supposing tbat he was
!r>:ng t.> wake a costly job of it, he
ordered him to nail them on at once
jnst as they were, and continued his
walk. When he returned the boards j
wore planed and numbered ready for j
nailing.
" I told you tbat this fence was to bo J
eover.'d with vines," ho said, angrily.
" I do not caro how it looks."
"I do," said the carpein'er, graflly, j
| carefully measuring his work. When j
I it was iinished there was no part of the j
j fence so thorough in linish.
I "How much do you charge?" asked
[the judge.
"A dollar ami a half," said the man, j
shouldering Ins tools.
The judge stared. "Why did yen
spend all that labor on the job, if not
for money V"
"For the job, sir."
" 2\obc-dy would have seen the poor
work on it."
" But I should havo known it was
there. No; I'll take only (he dollar
and a half." And he took it and went
away.
Ten years afterward the judge had
the contract to give for the building of
certain magniticont public buildings.
There were many applicants among
master-braiders, but the face of one
caught his eye.
" It was a y man of the fence," ho
aid. "I knew we should havo only
zood. genuine work irorn him. I gave
iiim the contract and it made a rich
nun of him."
It is a pity ihat boys wore not taught
in their earliest years that the highest
success belongs only to the man, be he
carpenter, farmer, author or artist,
whose work is most sincerely and thoroughly
done.
' .V. Spider Draws I n a .Mouse by Hie Tail,
j A very curious and intei^sting ppeoj
taele was to be seen Monday afternoon
j in the ofiice of Mr. P. ('. Clever's livery
j stable in this city. Against the wall of
j the room stands h tolerably tall desk,
j and under this a small spider, yot larger
! than a common pea, had constructed an
i extensive web reaching to the floor.
About 11:30 o'clock Monday mornin^
it was observed that the spider
had ensnared a young mouse by
passing liluments of her web around
i its tail. "When first seen the mouse
had its hind leec ou nio noor, anu
could barelv touch the iioor with its
fore feet. The spiiler was full of business,
running up and down the line,
occasionally Luting the mouse's tail,
making it struggle desperately. Its
efforts to escape wore unavailing, as (lie
slenJer lilamenis around its tail were
too .strong for ;c to break. In a short
time it was seen that the spider was
slowly hoisting its victim into the air.
By 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
mouse could barely touch the lloor j
with its forefeet; by dark the point of
its nose was an inch above the lloor. !
At !) o'clock at night the mouse was ;
still alive, but had made no sign except I
when the spider descended and bit its j
tail. At this time it was an inch and a
half from the floor.
Yesterday morning tho mouse was
dead and hung three inches from the
flor.r.
The news of tho novel sight soon became
circulated, and hundreds of ,'pople
visited tho stable to witness it. e'i'he ]
mouse is a email one, probably less I ;
than half-grown, measuring about one I 1
and one-halt inches from the point of j J
j its nose to the root of its tail. How ,
J the spider succeeded in ensnaring it is
J not known. The mechanical ingenuity j j
I of the spider, which enables her to raise j ;
j a body which must weigh forty or liffy j,
times as much as herself, has been tha I;
j subject of a good deal of comment rnd j 1
J speculation, and no satisfactory solution 1
( of the diiiiculty has been found. All j
i agreo that it ia a most remarkable case,
i and one that would be received with
i utter incredulity if it were not so amply 1
attested.?Lebanon [Ky.) Standard.

tired. The French frigate Magieienno came
tip the river and swung into line. Eight American

President Arthur, and followed by the governors
of ten States and Congressional delegation,

Mr. Nelson in his prayer thanked God for tho

neither this day nor this nu vement could have j
Ixen possible," the govern .lent of the United
>!:iks by its hif;h ollieials. and the people of tbo j

"one hundred years ago, your sires j

biliiiea on the new continent and revolution- ;
izt'd tho civilization of tho old. None could
l)ton estimate its far-reaching sweep or the un- j
numbered blessings it carried for mankind. ;
Wo build this monument to perpetuate the I
recollection of that work. We will guard it j
with pious hands and hearts and transmit it to 1
the countless generations who will follow um to
j!io;v how in God's ways a bravo and noble
li-oil evolves its own triumphs. So may tho
piinciplos this monument is intended to represent
not fail from the memory of men."
Tho French visitors arrived too late to participate
in the exercises. Senator Johnson, of
Virginia, chairman of the Congressional delegation,
then made an address. Senator Johnson
said that tho column now to be erected was .
to commemorate not only the victory of tho |
colonies, but tho part taken in that victory by !
franco. The recognition and acknowledgment <
t)f the aid given by France to this country in j
the hour of its need was a solemn duty left by :
the Continental Congress to its successors, aud j
low, after the lapse of one hundred years, tho |
Congress of tliirty-eiglit States and of fifty mil- I
lions of people, the Congress of a nation which [
tretches from tho Atlantic to the Pacific, is |
fulfilling that duty.
The Masonic officers next proceeded to lay
tho corner-stone with tho usual ceremonies of j
the order, the grand master of Virginia being !
insisted by the grand masters of the other orin- !
inal States. The pavel was used by M. \V. |
lesso li. Anthony, Grand Master of Masons of I
S'cw York, to lay tho corner-store of tho Egyp- j
tian obelisk in" Central park, New York citv,
Jetober!?, 1880.
Judge H. it. Wei ford, of Virginia, tho Ma- !
fonie orator, then made an eloquent address |
it the conclusion of which the ceremonies |
nded.
When Grand Master Dick, of Pennsylvania, |
led President Arthur to the corner-stone there i
vas tremendous applause, tlio people standing j

jhiefs and clapping their hands. 'Hie chorus i
}f 300 members of musical societies did not ar- !
rivo till the ceremonies wero nearly over, and j
then, of course, singing was out of the rjues- !
tion. At the conclusion of tho cercmonies the
President and party returned to the Despatch. I
As tho ceremonies at the monument wero i
:oming to a close the audience heard the salute j
tired for the arrival of the French and German ;
visitors. The City of Catskill, with Secretary

Of faith at.d victory
l'rcfiili.'iit Arthur was tlion introduced by
Secretary lilaino, anil delivered the following j
ii 1 Ursa:
" Upon this ecil one hundred years ago our i
forefathers brought to a successful issue thcir j
lieroic strugglo for independence. Hero and I
then was established, and as wo trust, made
secure upon this continent for ages yet to 1
tfome, tfiat principle or government which
is the very fiW of onr political system?the
sovereignty' of the people. Tho resentments
which attended and for a time survived the
clash of amis havo long since ceased to animate
our hearts. It is with no feeling of exultation
over a defeated foe thit to-day we
summon tip a remembrance of thoso events
which lui'-e made holy the ground whereon we
treacl. Surely no such unworthy sentiment
could Had harbor in our hearts, eo profoundly
thrilled with tho expression of sorrow and sympathy
which our national bereavement has
evolved from tho people of England and their
august sovereign; but it is altogether littiug
that we should gather here to refresh our souls
with the contemplation of the unfaltering
patriotism, the sturdy zeal and tho sublime
faith which achieved the results we now commemorate.
For so, if we learn aright the lesson
of the hour, shall wo be incited to transmit to
tho gniiation which shall follow the precious
legacy nUieh onr fathers left to us?the love of
liberty, proiec-ied Yy law. Of that historic
scene which we here celebrate 110 feature is
more prominent and none morn touching than
the participation of our gallant allies from
across tho sea. It was their pretence which
gave fiT>h and vigorous impulse to the hopes
of our countrymen v. hen well nigh discouraged
by a long seiics of disasters."
Max Outrey responded to tho President's
address in behalf of the French delegation. IIo
said thr.t the French goveinment lelt deeply
touched by the lvi< ndlv sentiments which in
spired the United States witli tno tuougui 01
Kifkins; Franco to participate in the York town
centennial cflc'iratiou. The manifestation of
.-vinpathy following the invitation has been
looked tinon by France not only as an act ot
tin' highest courtesy, but especially as a mark
of affectionate regard, having tho noble aim of
cementing yet more closely tho tics which
nunc the two republics.
The Manjuis do Bochambcau also responded
in French, and Baton von Steuben spoke in
German.
J he Centennial Ode, written by Mr. IV.ii II.
llayne. the Southern poor, and set to music by
Professor Mo.-emhal, of Xew York, was next
rendered by the chorus of 300 voices, accompanied
by tho maiine band.
llarris'-n Millard, of New York, bang "God
Save Onr President from Harm."
"i he oration of the day was then delivered by
Bobr-rt t.'. Witiihrop, of .Massachusetts.
'1 he speech was listened to with great interest,
and at irs c<?!.c!itsion Mr. Winthrop was loudly
cheered, .lames Baron Hope, of Virginia^n ail
a poem, and music by tho Land brought tho
ceremonies to a close."
At the conclusion of tho ceremonies there
was a reception in Lafayette hall, to which the
general public was admitted. Hundreds of
people tlnvngod the building. Secretary Maine
acted as master of ceremonies and General
Jo.?ep!i liawlry introduced the people to tha

'Die conclusion or the official ecrcmonfrs occurred
in the afternoon, the naval review by
the President taking place in the presence of 1
an immense crowd ?the largest ye: assembled
at Yorktown. Tiie Prr-ssdviit was received
with yards maimed an 1 crews at quarters, tlio
flagship tiring a grant salute of Iw.mv- 1
one guns. There was an inspection, <
which included clearing ship J'?>r action, genera!
ipiaiters, target practice and b:>at review. :
Everything passed oil in the most satisfactory
style, and the large concourse ot spectators i
which thronged the Mull overlooking the ] ar- ! (
bar v.eiv intensely delighted with the display
and the loud hammering of the great jjnns. : '
"1 he torpedo exercises were greatly apprceiated ; i
by the multitude, the lively Kttaclis on the : ,
i i-ipty iloatiiig barrels drifting near tho tlapr- j (
-hip being remarkably successful. After the
a vie'v Die foreign guests left for Washington j 1
md the North, an 1 the troops returned to Uc ir I ;

(iiiit.iin -t'TaigiM'U,
Guiteau was arraigned ia the Washington 1
criminal court. A largo crowd was jirestjnt,
Mid a number of detectives wore scattered
among the spectators to prevent any ho.-tilo j
demonstrations that might bo made. The
assassin was brought from tho jail to tho court | '
in a private carriage instead ot in iho regular j i
prison van. Ho exhibited great excitement \ ,
Knd terror, and had to bo lilted from the ear- J
riiiRO to tho pavement When brought into 1
court ho was deathly pale. and walked with j
weak and faltering steps. Ho wag handcuffed (
and was led by either arm. As ho entered ho .
removed his iiat, a largo black slouch one, 1 1
laising awkwardly both his ironed arms in the
notion. There was no demonstration whatever,
the crowded audience watching every detail in
tileneo. Guiteau was led to a scat, and hii
wrists wcro released. Ilo looked anxiously
around to seo if tho "avengers" wero pivseut,
but seeing i.o evidence of a hostilo detnonstra- | (
tion appeared Fomewhat relieved. During the j ,
reading of tho indictment, a lengthy document, :
Guiteau stood quietly. Tho day for beginning
the trial was fixed for November 7. { I
Georgo Scoville, of Chicago, Onilean's ,
brotlicr-in-law, appeared as tlio assassin's
counsel and read two affidavits. The first ;<f!idavit
was by Guiteau, and recites that he lias
no money or property to pay a number of witniws'inrc
to his defense, and ho i here
lorn prava that tlie court allow such witnesses
to appear, their fees ami expenses to be paid in
frucli mauncr as those of government xvitwwes
aro paid. The other affidavit was made by
Scovillo, and it says that the defense will con- :
sist of two points? tho insanity of tho defend- |
?nt and malpractice in the treatment of President
Gartleld's wound. Tho affidavit further ,
gives tho names of a number of persons
by whom it is expected to ptove
that defendant was insane. Tho afliiint als >
expects to pruvo by the following-named me ii- j ,
cal experts?William A. Hammond, of New ,
York, J. Marion Sinn, of New York, Mos.es ] '
Oimn, of Chicago, and Edmund Andrews, <\f
Chicago?that the wound was not necessarily
fatal, and whs not of itself the cause of the
death of Janie-) A. Garfield, but that death en
sued as the result of malpractice of the priuci- I
pal physician In charge or tbowonnflcl man.
After reading tho affidavits Mr. Scovillo addressed
the court, saying that he had attempted
to obtain tho aid of additional counsel but hail
not yet been successful. Mr. R. T. Merrick, of
Wiishington, however, consented to argue tho
matter of jurisdiction in case that questiou
came up. Counsel further requested tho judge
to allow him time to get bin witnesses into
court. District-Attornev Corkhill then argued
in favor of a speedy trial. Justice Cox
dosed the proceedings of tho day by declaring
that it was of the utmost importance to tho
interest of public justice that so gravo a ea-e
should bo tried as speedily as was consistent
with justice; that ho would appoint November
7 us tho day for trial and the 3Utli of October as
tho day to arguo tho question of jurisdiction;
that with reference to the application of defendant's
counsel for an order to allow the cos '
of witne-ses he would examine tho statutes mi l
make such order on the subject as he l'i-lt j
aiuhorized to do; and as to couuscl for tho ae- j
cined. if lie found I hat assistance could not be oh- ,
tui nod elsewhere he would assign proper counsel, j
i'iie marshal and his assistants then repined j
tli 3 handcuffs on tho wrists of Giiiteau, who I
manifested throughout tho sauio listless imlif- j
ferenco which he had shown when the indict- j
muut was being read to him. IIo was hutrie l j
out of court in the same way I10 had been j
br Might in, and was put into a hack in waiting
an .1 driven back to tho jail in tho custody ot j
*l<" Mini-olwit nti/1 lita naiiatntita
Tho following is a graphic account of \
Guiteau's appcnranco as he was brought into |
court: As he was brought beioro the bar ho |
awkwardly raised his ironed amis and removed i
his hat. It was then that the most startling j
effect waa produced. Hia hair, which always
stands on end and is cut abort, was cut still more i
closely in accordance with prison regulations.
Hia face was deathly pale, and had that fallow j
jail color of which it ia said it takes released |
convicts years to rid themselves. His eyes
were wild* and rolling, and ho looked about in
a nervous, terrified sort of way. Before taking
hi t seat, and before tho handcuffs were releuRcd,
ho turned himself fully around and
looked upon the dense mass which filled the
co irt-room?cowardly, ahringingly, almost
with a shudder, as though to make sure that
aooio avenger with a "bull-dog" was not al.-o
at his back. Satisfying himself apparently that
tli'j crowd was orderly, and seeing tho officers
mussed about him, ho became more calm and
timed to tho judge. His ironed arms wore j
unbound and ho took hia seat, a miserable abjc-fc,
unkempt, seedy-looking wretch, tho President's
friendless murderer.

TBe TronMe In Ireland.
The arrest of members of the Irish land
league continues. Messrs. Sexton, Dillon and
O'Urien, arrested laud league leaders, aro
charged with being reasonably suspected of
treasonable practices. Sir. Parnell is iu tho
prison intinnary with them. It is proposed to
start a fuud for tho maintenance or tno state
prisoners. Members of the league claim that
Mr. Arthur O'Connor, having been recently
thoroughly instructed in tho management of
the whole of the affairs of tho league, his escape
will enable the organization to continuo.
The Irish Times accu>ts tho police of tho
fiercest excesses in dispersing the crowd at
Limerick.
There aro twenty-throo persons in tho Limerick
hospital with bayonet wounds. A mxgistrato
announced from the bench that the police
had strict orders n. vcr in future to tire a blank
cartridge, but to lire with effect.
The Dublin corporation a ijonrned to seek an
interview with Mr. Foiater, the chief secretary,
in accordance with a resolution, to endeavor to
obtain "assurance that the ostentatious display
of police force which took place on Saturday
and Sunday with such lamentable consequences
shall not he repeated."
A man was mortallyahot near Tim Iff, county
Kerry, u an affray between the police and "a
party of armed men.
Eleven men returning from working a "Hoy
colted" farm near Portarliugton were lireil
upon, and live wero wounded, one of them seriously.
The Fifty-second regiment haa been ordered
to Ireland.
Meetings of sympathizers of the Land league
wore held at Macbeater, Glasgow, Durham and
Newcastle, all of whom passed protests against
the arrest of Parnell and the members of the
land league.
The head ofiico of tho Irish land leaguo has
been transferred to Liverpool,where Mr. O'Connor
is conducting its business.
Fighting was renewed at Limerick. Three
companies of the Sixty-seventh regiment escorted
Mr. Abraham, the treasurer of the Limerick
league, who was arrested, to jail. The
occupants of houses stoned the police After
lodging Mr. Abraham in jail the police again
charged and fired upon tho crowd in High
street.
Fighting was also renewed at Dublin. The
police wero compelled to retreat over Carlisle
Uulge under a shower of stones.
At Charlevillo, county Cork, the po'.ico wero
stoned. Tiio riot act was read, and the military
were called out and cleared tho streets.
Thirty-five arrests were made.
A crowd of 1,500 chased a number of constables
down Abbey street toward tho Store
street barracks. The constables reached tho
barracks amid a shower of stones. The crowd
then returned to Sackvillo street, and, crossing
tho O'Connell briilge. met another body uI
polico near Trinity collegc. They hunted" the
uolifo down Dane srreet.
At tin.' last public meeting of the land league
in Dublin tho Rev. Mr. Cantwell presided and
there was a large attendance. Tho secretary

!If read a long manifesto. It states that the
league is now unable to present the trat cases
prepared to the new land courts, and that there
is only 0110 constitutional weapon left which
the leaguo Las previously hesitated to use. The
executive adviso members of the league henceforth
to pay no rent until the leaders are release.!.
The chairman said the present was a
time for acting, not for speaking. Tho leader
might be arrestci1. but tho priesthood remained
to grade the people. He counseled passive rcsi-tunce.
The manifesto is signed by Messrs.
P.;moll, Kettle, Davitt, Brcnnaa, Dillon, .Sexton
and Egan.
T/uidon daily papers charge that the niani- j
fivito of tiio Irish land league is an incentive to
civil war.
.Mi-itaiy and police are patrolling tho streets
of Limerick to prevent assemblages.
Copies of the laud league manifesto, declaring
that no rent shall bo paid, have been distributed
throughout Ireland.
Tho lord lieutenant of Ireland has issued i
proclamation proclaiming the land league an
illegal organization and ordering tho dispersion
of its meeting by an armed force. The proclamation
warns the queen's subjects connected
with the league to disconnect themselves from
it and to abstain from giving further countenance
to it. All tho powers and resources at
the government's command, tho proclamation
says, will be employed to protect the queen's
subjects in the free cxerciso of their lawful callings
and occupations, to enforco the fulfillment
of all lawful obligations and to save tho process
of law and tho execution of tho queen's
writs from hindrance or obstruction. lie calls
upon all lovai subjects to uphold and maintain
tho authority of the law and tho supremacy of
the queen in Ireland. Tho members of llio
league have carried oil' their papers and deserted
their headquarters.
Archbishop Croke, of Cashel, who has hitherto
been a standi upholder of the land league, has
published a letter denouncing the league mani
festo ordering a general strike against rent. Ho
says he has read tho decree with dismay, enters
his protest against the doctrine contained in it,
and says such a policy will lead to disintegration
and defeat.
Tho land court opened tho other day at its
rooms in Dublin. There was a crowded attendance.
Jlr. Justice O'Hagan said the court
had decided on extremely simple rules of procedure
free from all" technicalities. The
fee for entering tho court would be
only a shilling, so that noboJy could
havo tho excuse of not having tho advantages
of the land act. There would ho a
similar fee on Riving notice of appeal. Many
tenants, he said, hud already applied to have
tlieir renta fixed, but uo decision coulu bo fjivtn
before tho expiration of ten day. For the
present the comuiis.-ioners would do their bout
'o make the act a success. Many farmers in
tho counties of Westmeath and Roscommon
havo lodged claims lor the readjustment ol'
their renta.
Tho Work of Years Spoiled by Rats.
Eats are destructive wretches, and
they have seldom used their powers as
effectively as they did in the case of
poor Thomas Edwards' collection of
iusects. There are very few cases cn
record of such untiring patience and
unwearied search as that displayed by
the unlettered Scotch naturalist. The
story of his many collections, tho difficulties
under which he made them, the
courage and perseverance that enabled
him to bear up under them, is more like
imaginative romance than reality.
Among the different collections was one
of insects. He had carefully pinned them
down in boxes, and laid them away,
until by dint of endless labor and writing
to other naturalists for information
he should be able to catalogue them
correctly; if he was too poor to buy the
sheets of figures necessary for his purpose
and could not print, ho got a lot
of old almanacs and multiplication
tables and cut the numbers out. It was
a long and tedious process, and when it
was at last completed the naturalist pro
ceeded to the garret wliero lie nad
stored the insects after preparing them.
There were twenty boxes, containing in
all DIG specimen?. On lifting ap the
first case he found that it had been entirely
stripped of its contents. Horrified
he tried the others. All were
empty; they contained nothing but the
pics that had secured them, and there
a leg or wing. The rats had done their
work! His wife, seeing the empty
cases, asked what he would do nest?
" Weel!" said he, ' it's an awful disappointment,
but I think the best thing
will bo to set to work and fill them
again!" The work thus destroyed had
occupied four entire yours.
It will be remembered that Audubon
had a somewhat similar experience with
rats. Upon leaving Kentucky he
placed his drawings of more than a
thousand insects in the care of a friend,
to fiud upon his return after a few
months that a pair of Norway rats had I
entered upon possession and gnawed [
his precious drawings into bits of useless
paper. Pie, like Edwards, un-;
daunted by his loss, set ofi on fresh ex- j
pedilions, and in three years had refilled j
his portfolio. j

A Shocking Story.
The St. James' Guzett* recounts the
particular of a shocking crime which ;
r/as committed recently at a monastery i
near the foreat of Yranyo-Selo, in Hun-1
tjary. This monaster}', which was inhabited
i>y eight monk's who were be- j
lieved to be very wealthy, was attacked I
by a band of brigands, but au alarm j
having been given, a body of soldiers
\inio to the rescue. The brigands en- j
ileavored to barricade themselves in tijo j
monastery, ami exchanged several shots |
with tho soldiers, who wore wore ihun j
m hour before they eouul force an en- ;
trance. When they did get in they |
found tho mouks lying gagged uti the j
floor, but could find no trace of the j '
brigands. After the monks had been j
<et ut liberty they informed their de-!
liverers thai tho brigands had escaped !
t>y an underground passage leading from
:1m cellar inro tie forest. The soldiers i
it once searched J"<?r the pas.-age, while i
he monks went oil' to I tie, chape/ to give j
ihanks for tlieir delivery. The soldiers, j
laving explored the cellar, and having
'ailed to liud the door of the passage,

solved. The bii^ands, seeing that they
ould noc escape, had mnidered the
nonks ami hidden their bodies in this
oom, having first sti ippeil them of their
lothes and put them on themselves.

A Dangerous Hnmorlgt.
A moderate humorist is a genial com- ;
panion.bnt an immoderate one is apt to
shock his friends'sense of propriety and
notions of reverence. Sydney Smith
was humorous to sach an extent that
when it was proposed to make him a
bishop, the idea so shocked the cabinet
that the witty clergyman was only pro
moted to the office of a canon. That <
Smith's conduct gave good reason for
the refusal may be seen from the following
anecdote, given by Lord Houghton 1
in his " Monographs Personal and Social,"
for tho authenticity of which, he
says, he will not vorch, but which seems
to him good enough to be true.
On being settled at his small living in
Yorkshire, Sydney willingly agisted his
neighbors in their clerical duties. On
an occasion of this kind lie dined with
the incumbent on tho preceding Saturi

being conspicuous for his loud enjoyment
of the .stranger's jokes.
" 1 am very glad that I have amused
you,"t:?:d Mr. Sydney fchnith, at parting,
"but you must not laugh at mv sermon
to-mono v.."
"I nhoii'ul hope I know the difference
betweeuhere and at church," remarked
the gentleman, with sharpness.
" I am not Mire of that," replied the
visitor.
" I'll bei you a guinea on it," eaid the
squire.
"Take you," replied the divine.
Next day the preacher ascended the
steps of the pulpit apparently suffering
from a severe cold, with his handkerchief
to his face, and at once pneezed
out the name Ker-shaw several times in
various intonations.
This ingenious assumption of the
readiness with which a man would recognize
his own name in sounds imperceptible.
to the ears of others, proved
accurate.
Tho poor gentleman burst into a guff?w,
to the scandal of the congregation;
and the minister, alter looking at him
with stern reproach, proceeded with his
discourse.

remedy with such ft reputation deserves a fair
trial. I f yon are dyspeptic, your malady will
eventually yield to it; if you are feeble, lack

and cheer you up; if you are constipated, it
will relieve, and if bilious, healthfully stimulate

Mn. H. R. Stt.vkn-s :
Jirir Sir?I havi: been a great sufferer from dropsy.
I was coniined to my house more than a year. Sut
mouths ot the time I was entirely helpless. I was
obliged to have two men help me in and out of bed.
I was swollen 10 inches latyer than my natural size
around mv waist. I suffered all a man could and
1 iv, . I tried all remedies for dropsy. I had three
different doctors. My friends all expected I would
die; many nights I was expected to die before morning.
At l.ict Yegctino was Sent mo by a friend. I
never shall forget the first iloee. I could realize its
'-Heels from day to day; I was getting better.
A Kit I had taken sonic 5 or 6 bottles I could sleep
iinitt; well nights. I began to sain now quite fast. ,
After taking some 10 bottles 1 could walk from one
part of my room to thcother. My appetite was good:
the dropsy had at this time disappeared. I ketit takint;
the Vegetiue until I res'ained my usual health. I
In ar.l of a great many cures by trsing Vojfetine after
I got out and v.as able to attend to my work. I am a
carpenter and builder. I will also say it has cured
an aunt of my wife's of neuralgia, who had suffered
for more than 20 years. Sho says she has not had
any neuralgia for eight months. I have riven it to
one of my children for canker humor. I havo no
doubt in my mind it will euro any humor; it is a
great cleanser of the blood: it is safe to give a child.
1 will recommend it to the world. My father is &0
years old, and ho says there is nothing like it to givo
strength and life to an aged person. I cannot be
too thankful for the use of it. I am.
