? ?mmrnmt??? m U SITTING BULL. The Rcdonbrable Indlnu Chief Described-- ! lie Milken a Speech. Dnring tbe trip down the Missouri by Captain Boyton, in bis rubber suit, i and a New York lle.XiUl correspondent in a canoe, they landed at Fort Randall, where Sitting Bull is encamped, a prisoner. The Herald correspondent writes: After breakfast we went to the hostile camp in company with an officer. The camp is about a mile distant from the garrison and is situated on a pleasant stretch of level ground. There are thirty-two tepees in all, which accommodate 1G8 people, forty of whom are males over sixteen years of age and the rest women and children. The tepees are arranged iu a circle, with a large space in the center, around which braves, squaws and almost nude children squatted and lay in the sunlight. As wo approached tie camp we could see a solitary white man standing in front of a tepee. He was dressed in a dmlr -nuir nf vmntsilnnns. brnvtn dnnk ov< rcoat, and his head was surmounted by a largo broad-brimmed drab felt liat, with an enormous dinge in each side of it It was Aiiisou, the army scout, who entered the hostile (-imp last year and brought in the main l>o;iy of tlio Sioux warriors led l?y Crow King. The scout is a fhedium-fti'/.ed man. but is compactly and strongly built. He has a peculiar expression of shrewdness on liis face and his eyes are keen and searching. " Hello, gentlemen !"he cried, at the same time salutiug the olticer, " I suppose yon have come to see the eld man." As he said this, Allison jerked his thumb over his shoul ior toward a group cf braves seated i". .ir a large lodge. At that moment one of the group arose und turned toward nq. The admonition of cur companions was not needed, for the dignitied expression which the painted features assumed, the deference of the surrounding savages and the graciously outstretched hand told us we were in the presence of the dreaded Uncapapa chief. Whatever may be said of Sitting Bull, he certainly has the appearance of a man boru to lead men. Ht; is live feet ten inches in heieht, and weighs, I suppose, about a hundred and eighty pounds. His face is an unusually intelligent one and his fotehcau lai?e. His nose is prominent and tends to broadness, and his cbin is well shaped. He has none of the impudent swa^cor of Gall, or the treacherous expression which distinguishes Low Do? and Rain-in-theFace. Sitting Bull is dignified yet modest withal, and after examining our faces closely he east his dark ey<s on the ground and invited us into his tepee, a:d led the way himself. One after another we crawled through the covered hole which serves as a door to the lodge, and seated ourselves on the going arouud some burning twigs, the chief occupying the Lead of the circle. A number of Indians entered the tent at the request of Sitting Bull. Among them was oi.e of the chiefs tvvo fichtiug nephews, Kill-While-Standing. Ho was an intelligent -looking young man and - wore a pair of eyeglasses, which pave him a student-like appearance. The two wives of the household shook hands with every one present and paraded several half naked and very dirty children, the heirs and -ci:ns of the Bull family. When Allison told Sitting Bull that a correspondent of the Herald was present, and that he could speak to the Amaw'/ifln if lliA shook mo by the baud several times arid said he was glad of it. He said he wa? a prisoner of war and wanted to see the President in order to arrange a future for himself and his people. "J will tell yon," he said, "exactly what i intend to eay to the President, if I am allowed to visit Washington." Sitting Bull then filled hid pine and did not speak until several Indians had taken a pnff or two. Then he raised his hand, and with a solemn expression began. "I have Jived a ?ood while and seen a great deal, and I have always had a reason for everything I have done. Every act of my life has had an object hi view, and no man can say I have neglected to think. I am one of the last generation of independent Sioux chiefs, and before me the position I oc cupy belonged to my ancestors. If I had no place in the world I would not be here, and the fact of my existence entitle? to the light of exercising whatever influence I possess, for lam satisfied I was created for a purpose. When I went across the line into Canada I did not give up my title to my country, but fled before troops. I could not help myself and jiclded to a superior force, although I knew I had a right to st.iv in the United States. Ever f-ince I have been trying to come j to a better understanding with the Brit- ! ish and Aruricsii grjvrrnrenta. I ; heard good v,crds from both and then I j shook hands. I h? Id the British government by one hand and the Great Father by the oil er. Finally I determined to come over to this side and lead my people back to iheir native soil. I want the President io put me and all the people who were on the warpnth with me on a separate reservation on the Grand liver, some distance from the Miss.-.uri, and there we will I learn to live like white men. I want to 1 put my young men to work so that they j can raise a good crop next year, and ; he sooner they commence the better. "In my act of surrendering I consider that I Lave wiped the blood from my hards and washed myself entirely of the past. From this time forward I am determined t.> lead a different and better life in full accordance with the j wishes of the gocerument. I consider the Sioux as all one people, and I want them all to he happy, even those who refused to join me on the warpath. It is my intention to improve their condition as much as possible. I havo no objection to tho occupation of our re. Servation by white men as the other hioux have. In fact, 1 would rather Tavo them cotno and live among us. the country is being scltled anyway, and if the whitps mingle with us my people can iearu their ways more rapidly than if they were isolated by themselves. I have (veu learned that tho army is a good thir:g and will pvofect us sis it dot-:? ihe wbite3. When I came in I expected to see the President and make a treuty cf veaoe, but, just as my hopes were almost lealized, the President was /hot. Although I wanted to se^ him I could r.ot, and when he died I felt very 1-ad. I r, as torry for him and sony lor my people, for it interfered with my plans. Now we have to him. I want to s'and face to face with hira nud suv that I am at peace ami will do right always. My people are destitute cf everything, ur?d, although wo arc willing, we have uofhing to farm with. It i3 iK.Rfpsa)y that work tshould he comiutrov-d at once, and that is rny reason fur being in haste to see the head of the government. it i.s a well known fact tL.it I have always Wed to excel the other Sionx iiibesia overs thinp, and 1 belitve I iv.n make my raon better farn;cr:? and steadier workers than other Indians in North America They are the most person eiin<; and intelligent of their race. You see how thi-y followed me anu staged thermelves? Wei!, they will bo jn>t as earnest i:i the other direction if tiuy get a chance. White men have (old rae about schools for inf,trnctir:?r young men in tLe di lie rent trades, and I am anxious that my people sbonUl have the bi?Lerit cf such an institute v.." "Do r'ou think you have influence enough left since jonr snrrender to lead 1 he hostiles V" I inquired. " Thev would onlv be too slad to fol low Kf," was the reply. " Give me a reservation and I promise that ail rny people will dress in wl;ite ruon's clothes and pivy up tleir savage life entirely." 'Do you think the Indians can ever he cit'zrns of the United States?" " My idea is to prepare them for citizenship. It must come slowly, but I may live to see some of my voting people cili/eris yet. 1 have little influence now, because I am heiples-, bnt 1 promise a complete reform in the Biotw people if the government will aid me." When Sitting P#nll ha<l cep.sea speaking, Allison es.sured me that the chief was in earnest and would prove rf great service to the country if allowed to visit Washington and get an idea of the power of the government. ?iuie.s.

Champney writes as follows in the Century Magazine for \ November: j We had brought an interpreter, and knowing that European ladies were \ sometimes allowed to visit tho harem j of his eminence, we commissioned our | man of words to request this favor, i Tho pasha, a handsome man of apparently sixty years of age, stepped from an arched door-way, and, with many a lliit aud flutter of his voluminous muslin draperies, seated himself on : the rug-covered divan at the upper end j of the apartment. We roso and made ; i% salam respectfully, and Antonio, our courier, made known our petition, j adorning it with many flowers of his own imagination. Tho distinguished i guests before him, ho informed the | pasha, wore of tlie highest Mobility of ; America, intimate friends of Generals i Grant and Washington?the only | two Americans, doubtless. with whose names the pasha was t'amiiiar. 1 Our request was granted, and the lady friend of Washington was led j t away by a diminutive Nubian | in the direction of tho seraglio. I j entered a beautiful court, surrounded ; by porticoes supported by antique pil- j lars dug from Komau ruins, and used j iu the construction of this palace just as j ! tho Cordovan Moors utilized the columns of the Caisars in their mosque. * * * A fountain occupied the center of tho tile paved court, an old woman was praying devoutly upon a nig beside j it, while from an alcove across the court issued the musical voices of tho ' ladies of the pasha. Elegantly dressed j in Eastern fashion, in puvpie, green I j and gold vests, brocade cafrans and I variegated scarfs, with silk handkcr- I j chiefs knotted about tlieir Mack braids, j they were seated upon a raised divan ! ! and engaged in sifting cornmeal, ; : which lay piled in golden drifts upon a i slices stretched across the floor. They ! received me cordially, a slave bringing I a European chair for me to sit upon, j Our medium of conversation was a littie j broken Spanish and a copious use of J I the sign language. A beautiful little I boy of three came and regarded me ! wondering'.y. His head was shaved, | with the exception of a spot behind ! one ear, from which depended a single j curl-tho lock of youth of Egypt; to ; ! keep the equilibrium two large hoop ; earrings, adorned with a single tur i WWO 1UPCHUU ill liio VJI'^/V^.W oar. Jiis name, they told roe, was ] Selim. Ho received a coin with sub' lime indifference, and continued his | inspection of the strange lady's costume. The pasha's harem consisted of | ladies of varying ages. Hero were ! wrinkled crones?his matrimonial outfit at the beginning of his uxorious ca- i j leer?comfortable women in the prime j of life, devoted to smoke and sweet- i meats, and the odalisque of sixteen, i 1 already two years a wife. They pilied i 1 the lonely life iu a "harem of or.e," ' I *nd felt a strong sympathy for the poor j American wires, with no sister favorites I to share their solitude and aid them about their household affairs. In this princely hou=e, where there was food and finery enough for all, the bevy of wives seemed to live together with a merry good- fellowship, but we heard ! of poorer families where the state of ; affairs was not so paradisaical. On the j ! occasion of a now addition to the seraglio, the elder wive3 are stripped of j i their jewelry to bedeck the bride, and loud is the cry of lamentation?13a. doura bewailing her bangles, and j ; Zumroiui weeping for her ank- | i lets. Ono of the favorites took me i 1 l?v fliA linn/1 owl lprl mft rsvor the ! building?to the pasha's own apartment, sumptuous with decorated ceiling and j rich carpets, to their own plainer room, j and to the neglected garden, where my guide iilled my hands with flowers from I | the tangled bushes which had covered j the walks, and whero the bees found | ; the honey with which they had tilled : j the hollow capitals of some carved col- | mans of the arcade. On bidding adieu j to the ladies, they exerted themselves : with one accord to prevent my depart- I ure; the chair was brought forward, I was pushed toward it with gentle insist, ence, and had quite to tear myself away. ! As I crossed the pavement, their inten, tion was explained by the appearauco of I a small Nubian, who darted before no ! j clashing together a pair of tiny coffee J cups, decorated with a red and gold j arabesque ornamentatiou, which gave f them a resemblance to Kaga ware. A ; delicious odor of coffee aided tho ex- ! j planation; they wished me to remain I aud partake of refreshments. Not wish- i ing to keep the party in tho Kail of Judgment longer waiting, and hardly j knowing whether it would be etiquette, I as it would certainly not be kindness, j to eat and drink in their presence daring their time of fasting, I declined : their courtesy and took my leave. Fashion Not ok. Red crepe lisse and red Spanish lace Are favorite materials for collars in Paris at present. Brooches are now used to fasten not only skirt draperies and kerchiefs, but i also the plaits with which elbow sleeves are trimmed. The fashionable combination of cream i and dark red seems made especially for J bright blondes, to whom it is marvelously becoming. Spiders and their webs form the designs embroidered on the flounces and waistcoats of some Paris gc.wns. Gold i thread is tho material usually em ployed for this work, but sometimes ; silk is used. Flannel petticoats are made as nearly pretty as possible in London by the de- : vice of scalloping them around the lower edge, and basting a deep frilling ! of imitation Valenciennes lace under the scallops. Some Enelish women have reversed I the usual arrangement of material followed in making gowns, and wear j cashmere waists, with plush skirts; but | there is nothing whii-h an English- ] ; woman will not do. Black velvet poke-bonnets are prettily relieved by bright-colored Jinings (those of crimson or doe-colored satin being favorites), supplemented by a : pair of narrower ones neatly tied above ' and matching the colored lining chosen j for the interior of the bonnet itself, the bouillonne crown of which has generally n bow of the bright material placed j upon one side. One of the New York brides of the : coming season will wear a gown unlike ; a27 in which an American bride has : appeared for fifty years. The material is white satin, covered with carnations, ! roses and forget-me nots outlined in | gold and worked in color, and this is ) shaped into a petticoat an 1 basque, | with which a white satiu train is worn. 1 The basque has a collar and border of' 1 gold, ari'l the petticoat is slashed about ; the hem to show cascades of gold lace. A Luadsomo raantle for the fall is made of lunar-dotted black satin. This I wrap is shirred from shoulder to shoulder and down the middle of the1 back, it is trimmed villi a narrow j | plaited ?"!raperv, fastened down at regu| lar intervals with line shirring. It is : fitted to the wahfc by an initio bolt. The sirlepiecfs form great sweeping sleeves. The back-piece and sleeves 1 are triturned with three rows of quilled 1 Spanish ju'T, and a full ruche of Ihe j same encircles the neck. A bolder of : rich jet-beaded passementerie is put I on as a heading to the iaco quills. Courtship at a Lontr IiHnge. I A comical matter has been made pub- : lie in Montreal by some legal proceedj ings. A retired major of the British i army had fonr daughters who moved in i good society in that city. Tliev all enj tered into corresnondence with a re i tired clergvmaa of London, whose mind 1 was somewhat enfeobled, but who en joyecl an income ol yiu.nou. The let; ters became sentimental all round, ami i at length the mau proposed marriage. But which of the^our should he tube? He had never seen any of them, and it was arranged that each of them should send a photograph to guide him in his choice. Now, the oldest was a widow i of forty-five, and therefcre the younger and prettier ones were astounded when the decision was promptly announced that their bister was to be the bride. The truth was that she had employed an artist to remove the hard lines aud i otherwise beautify the picture. But j I this trick did not help her. When she j went to London and presented herself j to the clergyman he could see no likeness I etween her and the fraudulent portrait, and refused to marry her. He ! gave her ?5,000, however, and she went J home. Bat she does not consider that sum a sufficient compensation, and has sued for damages. if' ?? v Many Uses for Apples. However we may esteem other fruits the apple is the main reliance in late winter or early spriDg, as there is little elso in the way of fresh fruits. For cooking no fruit is equal to the apple, which is susceptible, of beincr served in a great variety of acceptable forms, some of which are here suggested. Apple sauce is the form in which the fruit most frequently appears. To make j the best requires the best apples, j Select high flavored fruit, such as the : llhode Island Greening or Spit- ! zenberg; pare and slico in thick j slices, and put, with the needed j quantity of sugar, in a dish with a tight-iitting cover. Some havej a dish made for the purpose, but a tin J pail with a good cover will answer. Set ! in a nioderato oven and allow it to stew i slowly until thoroughly done; good j apples will need no water. Apple sauce | so prepared is far superior to that made i in the usual way. Next *iu popularity J to apple sauce is Ai'i'le Pie.?Stewed apples half an j inch thick, between two flabby crusts, | is a caricature on applo pie. The apple | pio is made with sliced raw apples, in a j very deep plate, and as few plates are J deep enough the sliced apple should j be heaped up in generous measure. It is a mistake to spoil good apples with much seasoning. Cloves and allspice overcome the natural flavor; a very little cinnamon, or miuute bits of dried peel of a sweet orange develop it. In j many families sauce and pic end tUe I changes, while they are leally but the | beginning of the lift. Baked Apples.?Either sweet or sour. | Many have a notion that sweet apple3 j are the only kinds for baking. They I are indeed excellent, wlien sour ones cannot be had. Bui for the perfection of baked apples, llhocje Island Greenings are required, B'emove the core, iill the cavity with sugar, set in a baking dish with a little water, and bake rather bliskly, and just before they are euton pour over them a liberal supply of crcara. Apples so treated are better than most of us deserve. ArPLE Dumplings.?That person is not to be envied, whose recollections of childhood does rot include apple dumplings?" such ae mother used to make." That kind will never bo found j again, but a fair approach to it may be I hoped for. Hers were both boiled and I baked, and we never could tell which j were best. Isn't the making of the j crust for boiled dumplings a lost art ? I Well, we can manage baked ones, and j there is lose risk of failure, and consequent danger to the digestion. Apple custard is not to bo omitted. Pare and core the apples, stew in very little water until tender; pour over them a custard made in the usual manner, and bake until the custard is done. Housekeepers find it difficult to select a pudding-dish large enough for this. Apple fritters are much liked by many. Bather large slices of apples are sprinkled with sugar end cinnamon, allowed to lay for an hour or so; they are then dipped in a batter of flour ann eggs and fried in abundance of very iiot fat; for these a wiro frying basket is very convenient. They are drained for a few minutes, and served hot. IC for dessert, they are dusted with powdered sugar when served, but if, an many prefer them, to be eaten with meat, the sugar is omitted. Brown Betty.?All the clean bits and fragments of bread are dried crisp in the stove oven with the door open, then rolled, and breadcrumbs aro always at hand. Sliced apples, breadcrumbs, sugar, cinnamon and a deep pudding dish. A layer of apples, sugar, spice, crumbs; apple; sugar, spice, crumbsj and so on until the dish is full. Bako Pax-Dowdy ok ArrLE Slump.?Since wood files and tho oldbake-pau or skillet, with a cover to hold coals on the top, went out of fashion and use, an "apple slump" has not been possible. An imitation i3 made in a dei-p pan, and j baked in an oven, but it is only a j baked apple pudding. Probably the I real thins can ntill be found in the i lumber camps, and in fhe few other j localities wbero wood is tho fuel, and j tho open fireplace has not, given way to the stove. The apples are quartered;! the bake-pan is lined at the sides with j a crust; apples arc put in, packed sol- i idly, some spico is used, and sufficient j molasses, or part sugar and part mo- I lasses, to sweeten; atop crust is put on, I gashed to let the stoam escape; the pan 1 is set on the coals, and tne coals put on the cover. Eaten hot with butter ! Who can ever forget it 1 The side crust baked before the juice came from the apples; it then became partly penetrated with syrup; the apples were done to a rich crimson mass. Talk about apple meringues and such flummery? Here was richness !?American Ajriculturist. i Origin of Often-Used Phrases. I " To the victors belong the spoils:" This phrase, as a political sentiment, was first enunciated by William L. Marcy, ex-governor of New York, a member of President Jackson's cabinet, i "A government of the people, for' the people and by the people." This j famous expression, which has been j quoted oftener perhap3 than any other noteworthy sentence ever uttered, was first used by President Lincoln, in his memorable speech at Gettysburg, November 19, 1863. " PJato, thou reasonest well." From Addison's trcgedj of " Cato." The lines showing the connection are as follows: It must be so. Plato, thou reasonest well; Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire, This longing after immortality? Or whence this sacred dread and inward horror Of falling into naught ? Why shrinks the soul Back on itself, and startles at destruction ? 'Tis tiie divinity that stirs within us; 'Tis heaven itself that points out a hereafter, And intimates eternity to man. " Rely orders." A phraso in use among members of the Church of Koine and Church of England, and denotes entrance into the order of priesthood. Holy orders are conferred by a solemn act of ordination by bishops and invest xi- _ ?- * ~ ~ ? paa*?a/1 / ?! ? n vn nf n v tIJU rtCipjt-'Ub Willi Jl PUtlVVl I (listiuctly apart from the lait.y." " Benefit of clergy." An expression , referring to n former state of the law of I England, where a clergyman had the 1 benefit of being exempted from prose- I cntion for alleged crimes and oftenses I before any civil tribunal. In course of | time some laymen who could read | claimed and were allowed the same j privilege "Benefit of clergy" was j finally abolished in the reign of George 1 IV. "Woolsack." A name given to the seat of the lord chancellor of England iii tl;<^ hc>UKO of lords. It (the scat) consists of a large bag of wool coveicd with red doth, but though fashioned j like a seat is without back or arms. I The woohaek is eaid to have had its j origin in tlie eirenm.stanco of wool ; being anciently a fctajile article of produce in England. " Stationer." When books were mul-1 tiplied by the invention of printing, | they were sold by booksellers at rtalla : ifntiimorl nt. ?1im imtas nf ntiiversifies I and oth.fr places ; hence booksellers j became known as stationarii, or stationers by which designation ttu-y have sinco become chiefly known. "Yankee Doodle." The name of an ' air adopted as a national tunc by the j United States. The verses were composed bv Dr. Shackburg, a physician in (he British army in America about i 17.35, and palmed olt I t him as a cele- j bra'.ed air on a body of American | militia. " Charity covers a multitude of sins." A perverted declaration of St. Peter, whose words, as he wae exhorting tho Christians scattered throughout A'lia Minor to a good and gracious life, were: ''And, above all things, harofervent charity [or rather love, ' agapie'] among yourselves ; for charity will cover the multitude of sins." "Tenderfoot." The very appropriate term used ou the frontier to describe any one inexperienced in the ways of the country?one who has never been " out West" before. "Newspaper." The origin of the word "newspaper" is not, as many suppof-o, from the met ot its containing new tilings; but in a former time (1793 to ISM) it was customary to put over the periodical publications of the day the initial letters of tho compass, N. E. W. S., to show that the journal had information from all quarters of tho globe, north, east, west and south. Honce the use of the word "news" before all papers of general information. Deep in every mind there dwells forever a witness to the truth whose clear eye and steady voice will see and respond wherever it is known. We do not need to implore men to believe the truth; we require only that they nhall apprehend it, and then ro may defy them to deny it. V % TRIAL OF GUITEAU. Tlio trial of Ch&rlos James Guiteau for the inurilt.r of President Garfield began in the District uupremo court at Washington at 10 o'clock. Tlio court-room, capablo of sca'iu? 500 o: (>00 people, was well but not uncomfoitably tilled. The arrangements for preserving ?rd; r wcio excellent, and tlio decorum and proprioty of tlio occasion wero unbroken by tli'.- spectators. Immediately surrounding (ho judge's desk wero tlio seats and tables, r.sid dose to the marshal the newspaper conespond011 ts. Iicyonil tlicm were placed tables and chairs lor counsel and for tlie i>risoner and bis fiic nds. The remaining space within the bar, which comprises about two-thirds of the. ;-.r< a of the room, was reserved for members of: li-? bar and for ladies. Outside the bar a platcn.m three feet high bad been elected, and about 2'NI chairs were placed upon it for the accommodation of th-"! general public. Correspondents and members of the bar wove admitted as they arrived, but the doors were not open to the gcucral public until a few ininut'-s before 10 o'clock. There was an exciting scramble for seats by the motley crowd which rushed in, but it lasted only a lew moments. S.viral special deputy marshals, wearing broad red libbons as bailee? of authority, were stationed at different points in the room to preservo order, while two policemen wellarmed took their seats directly behind and <Mose to the chair reserved for tlio prisoner. Mr. Scoville, the brother-in-law mul counsel of the prisoner, entered tlie room about 10 o'clock ami took ono of the chairs reserve 1 lor tin; counsel. His eye had its habitual merry winkle and his lace wore a smile. Mrs. Seoville, the prisoner's sister, a portly woman neatly dressed in Mack, accompanied by her luother, John W. fiuitcau, of lioston, a ;;o.;dlookiug man of about forty or forty-live \eurs of age, followed Mr. .Scovilli: after an interval of a few minutes, aud took their seats beside liim, leaving, however, an empty chair between Mr. and Mrs. Scoville. District Attorney CorVluU, accompanicd by Judgo Porter aud" Mr. Davidge, a>sociate counsel for the government, and by Mr. Smith, of the attorney general's department, came next, seating themselves in a group at the left of tint row reserved" for the counsel. The entrance of Judge Cos, the formal opening of the court, the calling of the roll of the impaneled jurors and the entrance of the prisoner were the incidents of the next fifteen minutes. Guiteau's air and general appearance wero in contrast with what they were when he was indicted, llo was clad in a new suit of dark material, and l:o wore a standing white collar, and his polished cuffs wero fastened with imitation gold cuff buttons. He swaggered as he came in, scowling instead of cringing as on tlr< l'ormet occasion, and vory evidently deemed himselt a personage, to honor whom the assemblage had been gathered. lie walked around to the scat reserved for him, and stood for a minute or more while his manacles wero being unlocked and removed, at the samo time giving somo directions to the officers who were performing tlio services. Seating himself ho looked at the judge and at tbo people in front of liim for a few seconds, and then turning to liiu loft-. hr> ?liorik i>an?s rather Datronmnclv with his Hitter ami brother. As tJio throe tut side by side it was easy to trace a family resemblaucc iu the feature* of the three, but the face of the prisoner seemed to be a distorted caricature of the regular features of tlio others. Ho was less frowzy thau on tlio former occasions, but not less repelhuit. Ilis largo cold gray eyes seemed to be incapable of wearing an expression except of cruelty and selfishness. He smiled as he greeted his sister, but the expression was more devilish than his customary arrogant frown. There wero no other persons of note present except those whosedutits called them there. Perhaps a dozen women occupied seats at the rear within the bar. The first proceeding was a plea made by Leigh llobinson. the counsel assigned to Guiteau by the court, for delay. This proceeding was an evident surprise to Mr. Hc >villo, who, with something of indignation in his voice, mado a spirited protest against being ignored by Mr. llobinson. Ho said that he represented tlio prisoner both as relative and counsel, and that lie would refuse to have anything to do with the caoe if counsel whom he did not know and had not approved were brought into the case. He was ready to proceed with the trial aud did not wish for delay. Mr. llobinson protested that it was for want of timo alono that; lie had not consulted Mr. Scoviile. When Mr. Scovillc concluded, Guiteau aroso and with emphasis signified his approval of the sentiments uttered. He did not want delay. From timo to time during subsequent proceedings he got up and with increasing emphasis asserted that ho was his own lawyer ; that Mr. t?covillu was his assistant, and thr.t he did not went Mr. llobinson in til-- ea-e at all. Ho was allowed to talk considerably, but was usually ..ni!ml ilnun jit hist bv ilm nolicemon. at whom lie growled and whom lio commanded to mind their own business. Once ho peremptorily ordered Mr. llobinson to take his seat. When Judi;c Cox commanded him to desist ho acquiesced readily, saying l:c would hoed tho commands of the judge, hut not of policemen. Thero was throughout a willingness on tho past of his counsel that ho should exhibit himself at his worst; but tho prisoner himself seemed to he inspired by his own dominesrinsojotism alone. Itwas finally decided to proceed and draw tho jury, resorvingtheqiicstionof delay until another occasion. Tiio drawing for jurymen occupied tho remainder of the session* Mr. Scovillc questioned tho jurymen, inquiring generally regarding their religion, business, j laeo ot residence, and the depth of their conviction of the guilt of tho prisoner. The greater number hud convictions too strongly fixed to bo sshakon by ordinary evidenco and wero dismissed. Finally Jive jurors were qualified and it waj announced that the panel was exhausted. Tho following aro tho names of tho jurors selected on tho first day: John I\ Harlin, restaurant-keeper; Frederick \V. Krandcnberg, cigar-maker; Charles 0. Stewart, .Hour and feed dealer; Henry J. Bright, retired from business; Thomas 11. Langley, grocer. At the suggestion of tho district attorney, an order waj issued for the drawing of seventv-livo addition;-1 names from tho box. The prisoner at this point slowly rose and inf rmeU the court that ho would like to make a ?peecli tho next morning, hut ho was ordered by the court to take his seat. He then passed the manuscript of his speech to a newspaper reporter, but heforo tho latter could leave tho court-room Mr. Scovillo called him Lack and compelled him to return it. This aroused tho iiiigcrof tho prisoner, who excitedly declared that he was not under the control of his couniir.1 tlmi lm n. ljiirver. and knew tho law himself; that when l:o wanted help ho would ask for it, an;l that ho desire.1 his speech to bo published for the purpose of influencing public opinion. He was again silenced by the court, and it having been agreed that the sittings o/ tlio court should bo ,'iom 10 A. jr. to 3 v. M. daily, allowing half an hour for recess, the court, at 1:05, adjourned.

He says, flirt Lor, that ho is not an assassin but a j patriot, and appeals to tlio press for justice and to tho pooplo lor pecuniary aid to help him conduct his caso. Ho refers "also to tho claim j that insanity is hereditary in his family, say- ! ing his father had two sisters and a nephew and a nieco in the insane asylum. The second day of Guiteau's trial was occupied in obtaining jurors. Seventy-live men were examined as to their qualifications and ' only four of them were acceptable to counsel on ! both sides and added to the livo jurymen ob- | tained on tho first day. The jurors obtained on tho second day wcro Jlichael Shcchan, i Samuo 1 F. llobbs, a plasterer, G. W. Gates, a | machinist, and ltulph Wormlev, a colored ! plasterer. When the prisoner left tho court- j houao to return to tlio jail ho was conducted through tlio crowd, which stood close by upon j either sido, and hooted and jeered liinl as ho ! passed, lie was probably made to feel fur tho j iirst lime something of the abhorrence and de- j testation in which he is held by tho public. Ho grow pallid and cringed like a hunted animal as he hu tried along toward the waiting prison ; van, r< aching which he jumped nimbly within I its sheltering inclosure aid was shut out from i tho crowd. A parting jeir was sent alter him | as he dr ive away. E. is.

On tho third day the jury was completed by I the selection of tho remaining tlireo jurymen ; accessary to make up the twelve. The names, i occupations and characteristic features of this j historical jury are given by a correspondent as follows: John P. Hamlin, a tall, silver-haired, j thoughtful-faced American, a restaurantkeeper; Frederick \V. Brandenburg, a little, j excitable, black-haired German, a cigar manufacturer; Henry J.

"I want tbo court, and everybody to understand," ho exclaimed, "that I am in j chargo of this case myself." "Very well, I understand," replied Judge Cox, diylv. This j is Guitean's appeal datel in court: To the Legal Profession of Amekica : I j am on trial for my life. 1 formerly practiced j law in Now York and Chicago, and I prupjs- j to tako an active part in my defei.se, us i j know more about my inspiration and views | in tlio caso than any one.

If for any reason in application be rofased, the name wall be withheld from the public. " Chahles Guiteau." Immediately aftor tho court oponed on the fourth day Counsel Scoville aroso to make a personal explanation in which ho said that there had been no disagreement between himself and Mr. liobinson, tho assoeiato counsel, as would appear from certain publications, and in conclusion said that Mr. liobinson would rendei all the aid possible in tho case, and that they would work in harmony. At this point Guiteau rose to his feet and objected to Mr. Robinson taking part in his defense. lie said ho would manage his own case, would not trust Mr. liobinson with anything, as he had no brains. I lb: wished the court to understand him on this point, and if counsel wero forced upon him ho would make a noise about it to the country, lie represented the Deity in this case and wished the court to understand it. Continuing, lie said two or three blunderbuss lawyers would lose the caso for him, and lie did not proposo j to submit to anything of the kind. The court j informed tho prisoner that if ho did not remain | quint ho would bo removed from tho room. District Attorney Corkhill then made tho opening speech for the prosecution. He reviewed tho eneumstanccs of tho shooting nnd of tho President's death, detailed tho conduct of Ouitean, and showed by his letters that ho had way back in 18S0 begun to lay plans for getting au 'otli .-o from President Garfield, and liow in his disappointment he plotted the President's doath. Mr. Corkhill declared that Guitean's claim of acting in vindication of some great principle, and taking advantage of the dissension in the Kepublican party to cloak his real motive, was only a shrewd pretense. The address was eloquent, and it at times drew tears Irom tho auditors. After Mr. Corkhill had sat down Mr. Robinson said that the defense wonld reservo their opening. Secretary Blaino was then called to tho stand by the counsel to the government, and testified that ho had known James A. Garfield from 18fi3 to the timo of his death. Ho said, on reaching tho depot, on the morning of the assassination, tho President turned to say ; good-bye, but ho insisted upon accompanying him to tho car. Ho heard a pistol shot, followed almost immediately by another, and thinking there was eomo trouble, touched the President for tho purpose of hurrying him onward. At this moment tho President threw up his arms, cxclaiming, "My God! Wlmt is this ? " Tho secretary, continuing, detailed the circumstances of tho removal of tho President to the White Houao and other mattera pertain- I ing to the shooting, all of which have been published heretofore. In responso to Colonel Corkhill, tho secretary testified that Guitcan visited tho department many times seeking the appointment of theconeul-generalship at Paris. Hi! informed Guiteau that there were no prospects of liis receiving tho appointment, and requested him to dis:ontinuo his visits. Secretary Plaino waB cross-examined, and testified as to tho locality of tho shooting, pointing out on a diagram of tho Baltimoro and Potomac depot the spot on which tho shooting occurred, lie said he had received numerous letters from tho prisoner persistently urging to be assigned to speak in tho Maine campaign; the letters were doubtless destroyed with other campaign debris. Kcgarding CJuiteau's visits to thestato florinrtmpnt tho Hpcretarv taid he whs one of perhaps forty applicants on the days lie cainc, and that ho suffered the disappointment of tlio rest in his endeavors to obtain an appointment. IIo at no time noticed anything which would indicate any derangement of Guitcau's mind. Mr. Scoville in questioning Mr. Blaino referred to the difficulty which aroso in the llcpublican party in New York after tho appointment of Collector Itobertsonand requested tho secretary to explain the situation as it existed. Secretary Blaino answered a number of questions on tho subject of tho resignations of Senators Conklnig and Piatt and the controversy in the New York legislature, and upon being further questioned suggested that ho would make a political speech lor tho defeneo if it was desired. Mr. Scoville explained his reason for putting tho questions, saying that he desired to show the holing of bitterness in political circles with a view to proving tho bearing it had upon tho prisoner's mind. At this point tho prisoner expostulated with Mr. Scoville, stating that lsa desired him to comply with his (Guitcau's) wishes in the caso, and if ho did not do no thero would bo a big row. IIo was removed by the bailiffs with difficulty. Ho desired to continuo tho conversation. Mr. Scovillo paid no attention to his client. In reply to furtlu r questions the secretary stated that after tho assassination of tho President ha paid littio or no attention to the conflict in tho New York legislature, and, in fact, thought nothing of lolitics. Ho said ho invented tho term " Stalwart" himself in 1S75. Secretary Blaine, after further miestioniiur. left tho stand at 12:20 r. m., and was followed by Mr. Simon Camacio, the Venezuelan niiuiater; Mrs. Sarah 13, White, who was in charge of the ladies' waiting-room at ihc depot when President Garfield was shot; itobert A. Parke, ticket agent at the depot; Juds n W. Wheeler, a young man who wai ia the ladies' waiting-room at the time of tin shooting; Gcorgo W. Adams, publisher of tno Washington Slav, who witnessed tho murder, and ThcjI) T. Smith, janitor of the depot. All these witnesses testified as to the shooting i.nd gave such facts as were mado public at th i time of the assassination. Roport of the Secretary or the Interior. Tlio r.nnnal report of Secretary Kirkvood relates largely to the Indians. "Ho says, that " when tho indian shall havo learned to speak and writo our language, to earn his or n living by Ins own labor, to oboy tho law ai d aid in making and administering it, the Indian problem will bo solved, and not until then." The secretary recommends tho following method of solving tho Indian problem: "There arc now in the States and Territories weft of tho Mississippi river 102 reservations, great and small, on which are located, in round numbers, 221,000 Indians. Tbo numbers on tho different reservations vs.rv from a few hundred to several thousand, j'horo aro attached to theso reservations sixty-eight agencies, each with its staff of employes. There aro also established near them tor the protection alike of tho whites and Indians thirty-seven military posts with | larger or smaller garrisons. Tho trans porta- | tion of supplies to so many and so widely scat- j terod agencies and military posts is very expensive, and our army is so small that tho garrisons at many of the posts are not sufficient cither to prevent outbreaks! or to suppress them promptly when they occur. It is my duty to nay, and I. say it with grea'; pleasure, that the nulitarv authorities havo. when called unon bv ! this department, ahvava responded with promptness and efficiency; but it must bo apparent to all who have* had occasion to noto their operations, that they havo been seriously i embarrassed in their efforts to concentrato speedily at particular points sufficient force to meet emergencies. The peculiar conditions attending tho transaction of public business for some months have prevented mo from giving this subject tho attention that in my opinion it deserves, but I am strongly inclined to believe that if all tho Indians west of tho Mississippi wero gathered upon four or five res .'rvations our Indian affairs could bo managed with greater economy to the government and greater benefit to the Iudians. In view of tho facts stated as to existing reservations, I recommend that Congress bo asked to crcato u commission of three or four eminent citizens, to visit during tho next year tho reservations west of the Mississippi river for the purpose of recommending to Congress, if they shall deem it wise to do so, tho concentration of the Indians on four or fivo largo reservations, to bo selected in different parts of the West, 011 which tho different tribes shall bo located; and if thin shall, in tho judgment of tho commission, not be wise, then to recommend tho concentration of existing j small agencies where th?.t can properly bo done, and tho reduction of tho area of others to dimensions proportionate to the number of Indians now located thereon." In regard to tho work of tho patent oflico tho report says that 15,175 patents wero granted during tho last fiscal year, ami tho receipts of tho patent offico were $789,895. Tho report of tho commissioner of education is quoted as showing that tho progress of education during j the year has boon substantial ana sati.siactorj-. i It is specially noted that in tho Southern j States tho incomo derived from tho 1'oahody | fund lias had tho effect of stimulating tho j work of education in a marked degree. .Socio- I tary Kirkwood also quotes, but without com- [ ment, Commiesioner Eaton's reconimondation ! that tho not proceeds of all sales of public | lands bo devoted to educational purposes and j divided among tho several States and Territories in proportion to their illiterate popula- j ion.

The earliest attempt to obtain light by incandescence in a vacuum was made by King, in 1843, who applied continuous metallic and carbo.. conductors, and heated them by tho electric current in a Torricellian vacuum.

In 1872 Konn employed graphite and rendered it incandescent in an atmosphere of nitrogen, in which there was no wasting away of the carbon. The same principles have been followed, but with greater promise of success, in the more recent attempts of Edison, Maxim and Swan at producing illumination by means of incandescence. Some recent experiments by Herr Stcbler chow that the views held by some botanists that light has no direct effect on germination must be modified. He finds that the germination of certain agricultural grasses, such as meadow grass, is much more favored by light than by heat. An experiment made with two groups, of 400 seeds each, showed that there germinated sixty-two per cent, in light and three per cent, in darkness. Similar results were made with some other grass, showing fifty-nine per cent, germinating in light and seven per cent, in darkness. Sunlight being a very variable force, experiments were further made with gaslight, aud with tho same result, viz., that light favors the germination of certain seeds, especially grass, and that these germinate either not at all, or very scantily, in darkne-ss.

While seated in my store this morning the Captain volunteered the following written statement: "This is to certify that I have been afflicted with rheumatism for twenty (20) years, both in my side and limbs. I am hapny to say that, after using less than two bottles of the St. Jacobs On., Iain entirely free from pain, though still limping somewhat when walking, from long force ot habit. C. W. Boynton."
