General John R. Baylor furnishes ! the San Antonio (Texas) Krpress with the following incident connected with j : his late visit to Corpus Cbristi, where , lie met a Spaniard by the name of Tito j Rivera, whom he rescued from the I I Comanehes a quarter of a century ago: j In 18")G I was United States Indian ; } agent attbe Comanche reservation on the i Clear Fork of the Brazes, then Throck- : . morton county. One day I found a note ; on ray table from a boy, who asked that j i he bo taken from the Indians. Soon 1 afterward the boy walked into my offico | with a bunch of turkey feathers fastened | to the top of his head, and his face i piinted and dressfd in the Indian costume, and said he was the boy ! who Irsft tliH note on my table. I asked ; him where he came from, and he said that bis father was a Spaniard, ana lived in the mining town of Tapio, in ; the state of Durantjo, Mexico. He spoke ! j Spanish and also Comauche. I didn't I I believe that ho had written the note, ! I and to try hiui asked liira to sit down ! j at my desk aud show me how he could ! ! write. He wrote a beautiful hand for a j ! boy. Questioning liim as to bow be I came to fall into the hands of the In- j dians, bo said that bis father owned a j i pack train, and one day lie went out j j with the mules and the men in charge { | of the mules and camped. The Indians I j came on ihem and took him into cap j tivitv. After hearing his story I sent i ! for the Indian who claimed to own the j i boy, and when he came I told him I j : must have Tito. He replied that I I could not, and I told him I would or ! we would fight. Ho paid that light it ! would be then ; the boy could not go. [ I went to see General liobert E. Lee, i j who was then lieutenant-eolouel of the ( Second United States cavalry, at Camp j f\..Mnpp. r.ml who bad been stationed i ; there to protect the Comanche camp, j While there, Chief Cateman, of the Co- I ! mauches, who had heard of the object j of my visit, came to see me and said | I that he wanted no trouble between my-! j self and the Indians, and that if I would j give up ?100 worth of goods I could get j i the boy. I gave him an order on the { j sutler, and he was given the good*, and j I the boy was turned over to mo. I sent j i the little fellow to my house aui he j j lived with my children for about two ; years, being treated as one of the family, j i Afterward I met Major Neighbors, who I ! then lived near ban Antonio, on the j Salado. Major Neighbors . said ho ; i wanted him, and if I would give him to 1 him he would send him back to his I mother. I turned him over to the i major, but he didn't send him back to j I his mother, and the war came on and j he went into the Confederate army, i The boy was twelve vears oid when I i i took him, and the Indians had captured i j him when nine, having had him three i years. He spoke the Comanche ian- ! guage perfectly, and I used him a? in-! terpreter. Major Neighbors left the | boy on his ranclie on the Salado, near | j San Antonio, aud the boy entered the i , Confedeiate army when about sixteen ; j Tears.

To the apartments of the newjy-mar- i I ried crown prince and princess of Aus- j tria, at Prague, says a correspondent, j there are throe entrances?a staircase | in the right corner of the outer palace i yard for the crown princess, as side en- j trance to her chamber and to the rooms \ of her suit; the great staircase betwe m the outer and second yard serving as main entrance, and the portals in the I inner palace yard for the crown prince, j The first six rooms on landing at the j i head oi tne gran a staircase aro ior me i I exclusive neo of the crown princess, j ; One of them is a bath-room of a simple j j style, but provided with every con) fort; | the walls and lath are tiied in blue and j white, the furniture in white. The adj joining room is the princess' dormitory, I its walls hung with light-blue tapesiry, j the curtains and carpets of a duiker ' shade, the high and beautifully-carved j baldaquin bed, with light-bluo 5-ilk hangings, together with a toilet table, | sonio arm-chairs and tabourets, forming j the whole of the furniture. Above the toilet table is placed a : large mirror in richly-gilt carving. I i From above the mirror, held by a rosette of lilies-of-the-valley, the favorite ! flowers of the princess, lace curtains ! drop down to the floor. A high white I painted and gilt door leads to the third room, the toilet chamber, which is also ! decoratcd in blue and gold, and contains the necessary toilet furniture, including a magnificent full-length trumeau. Next to this is the breakfastroom, the wails eoveml with creamcolored pressed paper richly ornamented with leaves, vines and birds, the furniture and doors being black and gold. A narrow winding staircase in one corner of the room leads to the upper etory j into the princef-s' wardrobe. The fifth room is tli9 boudoir completely hun^' j with costly Gobelin i tapestry which | formerly ornamented the apartments | inabited by the Emperor Ferd- J J inand, the fnrnitn.re being a la j Louis XIV. The sixth and last room is j the princess' sal< > . with rich hangings j nf hln<? silk tliH woodwork in white i j and gold. While the breakfast-room, ] I boudoir and salon have line mantel-: pieces ol Carrara marble, the other three rooms contain large glazed stoves. Of the crown prince's apartments, the first four rooms are the same which he j inhabited during his previous eojou:-fl ; in the Bohemian capital, and which | have undergone but slight altc-ratiorn. I Theso are followed by eight others in the following order, namely: A large ' salon, hung with Gobelin tapestry, the furniture being white and gold, with , covering of heavy reel silk, which latter ! are also to be seen in the second, or re- I ception-roera; next comes the grand re- : | ception salon?the club-room with ele- [ 1 gant furniture in renaissance style?the j ! ante-chamber with black walnut furui- j j ture, likewise renaissance. The dining- j | room has a finely carved ceiling, and j ! also black carved walnut furniture. Tat toning. Dr. Lncassagne, a French physician, j I has published a book on the liabit of tat- ; tooing as practiced in the French army. ! There are professional tattouers in Paris and Lyons who half a franc for eaoh design. Generally the tattooer I begcartoons on paper, and .reproduces j this on the skin by a mechanical process. Largo designs cost a good deal; has a representatian of an Indian holding up the flag of the United States cost the decorated person fifteen francs. China ink is the coloring substance preferred, touched up with vermilion. Dr Lacassagne has collected 1,333 designs, tattooed on 378 members of the Second African battalion, or on men under ar- j rest in military prisons. Many were ! tattooed on every part of the body, ex- j cept the inner side of the thighs. Patriotic and religious designs and inscriptions amounted to ninety-one. There were 280 "amorous and erotic devices," J and 311 works of pure fantasy, such as ladies driving in a carriage, the horses ! ! plnnging, and servants rushing to their | ! heads. The great efforts of art are re- ! I served for the surfaces of the breast and | back. The subjects of many of the drawings are best left undescribed, the ; imagination of a dissipated soldier being : quite savage in its impurity. Among patriotic and religious emblems are cited two devils, nine theological virtues, six crucifixes, two listers of chari- j ty, three beads of Prussians, not flattered, and live portraits of id<;al girls of i Alsace, with no fewer than thirty-four busts of the republic. Among animals the lion and the serpent are the favorite : totems. Among llowers the pansy is generally preferred. The {esthetic classes will grieve to hear that not a single lily appears, and there was only one daisy. Among mythological sub-' jects the sirens are the greatest favorites ; next come Bacchus with hispards, j Venus, Apollo and Cupid. The German proverb, " If I rest, I rust." applies to many things beside the key. If water rests, it btuguates. If j tbe tree rests, it dies, for its winter state is only a half-rest. If the e.ye re&tp, it grows dim and blind. Jf the lungs rest, we cease to breathe If the heatt reets^we die. TATTOOING AS A TRADE. Tlio >trn Thnt I.lko to Sco Fimtrrn on Their Skill?DcnIciih .Mowt I'optllnr?A Talk nitli nn GUI Operator Alongside the door of n house on Oak street, says a New York paper, is a framed sign bearing an elaborately executed at.d vividly colored goddess of liberty, with tiie equally glaringly tinted words underneath: * Tattooing Done Here by Martin Hildebrandt." Ascending a narrow stairway and turning to the right, the reporter found himself in a stuall room. Inquiring for the owner of! the c-ign, the reporter was told that he , was at present tattooing a man, but j would be done directly. Under the iia- j pression that the repoiter was a customer, the woman who had given the information handed him a book which she said contained the designs her husband was eanable of executing on the : human epidermis. The book was a curiosity in itself. It contained about tifty crudely executed and highly-colored drawings and designs. There were goddesses of liberty in profusion of all sizes and styles, the coats of arms of the United States, England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and Russia; anchors and chains; a full-rigged manof-war tiring oil'a cannon; ships of all kinds; the Hags of different nationalities; a ballet girl with a very short skirt and very muscular iimus; a \ enus; a willow-surrounded tcmb with the words, "My mother," on its face; butcher's knifo and cleaver crossed; blacksmith's hammer and tongs; mermaids sitting on a rock playing on a lyre; Masonic emblems; burning hearts, eagles, lions, etc. Underneath each design was the cost of having it executed, the prices ranging from twenty-five cents to 83. It was evident that the customers of the shop preferred realistic pictures to allegorical hints, and a heart pierced by an arrow cost only twenty-live cents, whilo the design of a jauntily-clad sailor embracing a short skirted female cost 82. While the reporter was still admiring these " works of art," tbo "artist" himself entered. lie is a short, thickset man, some fifty years of age. He was very willing to give information concerning his peculiar trade. Seeing his book of designs in the reporter's hands, he hastened to assure him that "them's not all the designs I kin make j by a good deal; I kin tatoo anything a i customer calls for." ? " I suppose Bailors are your -chief j customers It" '1 Oli, no, mechanics, tradesmen and | 'longshoremen are the class of men 11 do most of my tatooing o:\ Ihavecus- j tomers from all over the Unitod States, all kinds of people, and have even had gentlemen ccmo to my door in their private carriages. 1 am the only man in the city who has a permanent place of business. There s an old fellow who gees round among the sailors on the lint his tr<iile isn't biff." "What designs are tlio most popular?" "Well, that's all according to tuste or hobby. American sailors like goddesses of liberty, sailors of oilier nations the coat-tl-arms of their counlry. Au Indian waving a tomahawk is a great fav. rite with somo tars. Then I've put many knives and cleavers on butchers' arms, hammers and tongs on blacksmiths'. Masonic emblems are always in demand. Sometimes there are sailors who want the initials of their sweethearts' names put on their arms. Sometimes men wbo have been jilted hv their girls afterward havo their names or initials covered with other pictures. Some of the fellows who tsed 'to run wid der machine' ia old volunteer fire department days, have had me put pictures of a lireman with a speaking trumpet at the month on their hands or forearm. Young men have the coats-of-arms of their country or state pnt on. A design of a willow surrounded tomb with the words, 'To the memory of my mother,' is a groat favorite with old men." "Have you executed a number of designs on any one person V" " Yes, I've tattooed one man from head to lout. He has a large design of Washington's tomb on his breast, and smaller figures of flowers, leaves, etc., on the rest of his person. He exhibited at Coney Island last year and got $40 a week. Another man I almost covered with pictures was a Spaniard about fifty years of uge. Ho brought his own designs with Lira, and theso I put on him smal er or larger than the pattern. They were almost ail of a religious character. On his back I put! i.1. - it; -VT I iiiu > itxinj ?uvi iiin i j-iuici- j angola. A large picture of tbc cruci- ! fixion I put on his breast. Then there ; was the picture of u blind wan led by a i little girl to the edge of a precipice, and saved from falling over by an ! angel. Three mermaids I tattooed on ! one side, a rooster and cat respectively ; on each shoulder, and more religious figures on his arms." " Did he go into the show business, : too?" "No. I asked him if he intended to do so, but lie said no; then I asked him hi.s reasons for having himself tattooed all over, but ho wouldn't tell mc." "Do not many boys come to you to be tattooed 5" "Sometimes fathers bring their boys and have their name or some iuaik put on them, so that they can bo recognized u hen stolen or lost. A Pea captain was lately drowned in the East river, and his body was only recognized by an India ink mark on his arms. When I was with the Army of the Potomac I put the j names of hundreds of soldiers on their j arms and breasts, and many were recognized by these marks alter being killed or wounded. I learnt my business from an engraver with whom I served on board of Die frigate United States j during the Mexican war."

The stone is of ; the ordinary size, the Bpoons being so | small that their shape and finish can bo ; distinguished only by the microscope. : This is the result of immense labor for ] no decidedly useful purpose, and tliere j are numbers of other objects in existence the value of which may be said to be quite as indifferent.

Upon* tho adjournment of tho court ou the sixth day of Guitean's trial tho jail van started as usual l'or tho jail, having ono policeman, Officer Edc-lin, :ia a guard, who sat on tho scat with the driver, Iieforo reaching tho capitol the guard noticed a youir,' man ou horseback riding leisurely bohiud tho van. Isoar the corner of Ea*t Capitol and First streets tho horsotnan rode directly up to tho roar of tho van and peered through tho small grating. Gnitoau was alono in the van, sitting oil tho right-hand side. After evidently satisfying himself of the oxact location of tho prisoner tho horseman wheeled suddenly to tho left of tho van anl fired directly through it. Ho then spurred his horso and rodo rapidly away. O:';iuor K lelin lirod ono shot at tho fast-disappearing hor-iiuuii. and tho driver of tho van whippo 1 his horses into a gallop and kept in ?iu!it of liiiu for several blocks. Tho would-l* a v.-tiger wa^, howover, mounted upon a blooded Imr.-o and readily oscaped out into tho country. The van was then driven on to the jail, and Guitcan was taken out in a stato of great oxcitonient. He exclaimed: " I liavo boon ehot. Notifv Major Brock pt onco. Tell him to ar rest tho scoundrel and have him dealt with as lio deserves." On examination it was found that tho ball had just grazed Guiteau's left wrist, indicting a mere scratch. Tho ball struck tho oppnsitosidoof tho van and fell upon tho floor, where it was lound on reaching tho jail. Tho man who was supposod to have fired tho shot? one Bill Junos, a dissipated farmer living on tho outskirts of Washington?was arrested in tho evening in an intoxicated condition and locked up. Ho deniod having shot atGuiteau, and Oflicor Edelin said positively that he was not tho man. This was tbo third attempt on Guiteau's life sinco his arrest. Edoak M.

At the opening of the court on tho lifth day, aud beforo tho prisoner was brought in, Mr. Scoville addressed the judge, asking him to enforce quiet on tho part of Guiteau. He was continuing with a request that an order bo issued prohibiting any official at the jail or olscwliero front giving to tho press anything which Guiteau might write, when tho prisoner entered and caught tho purport of tho remarks. Guiteau, with flashing eyes, and with extreme anger displayed in evorv feature, arose and denounced his counsel as a double-dealer. Mr. Scoville tried to quiet the prisoner, but his anger seemed to increaso. When Judge Cox commanded tho prisoner to bo silent, and proceeded to say something, Guiteau continued his angry declamation, interrupting tho judgo, and asserting that ho did not care for tho ruliugs, and tiat if ho was excluded from th? court during tho trial, ho would have a new trial by tho court in banc. When he was seized "by the officers ho shook them off, gnarled "at them in a fluny of passion! called them scoundrels, and bade thorn mind tlioir own business. IIo mado re- I marks at times during tho remainder of tho I session, but with tho exception narrated he | sc-cmcd peaceably and indeed humorously inclined. Ho passed much of his time reading tho papers and writing. Occasionally he looked up at witnesses and smiled good-humoredly as j tho circumstances surrounding tho assa-sin- j atiou were alluded to, occasionally interjecting i explanatory remarks of his own into tho testi- j raonv civen bv witnesses. " I niicht observe that to-day I have had tho first square meal Hincc July 2," he 8aid, as a witness expressed tho opinion that ho was fleshier on tho shooting than now. Ho enjoyed his own sallies and i laughed heartily at them. The witnesses who . testified on the fifth day were Joseph K. Sharp, i assistant traiu master of tho Baltimore and [ Potomac railroad; Miss Ella M. Ridgley, wl:o was present at tho depot on the morning of tho murder; Joplnsa Davis, gateman at tho depot; William S. Crawford, who drove somo of President Garfield's baggage to tho depot; Jchnlt. I Scott, a special ofliccr at tho depot; E. L. Du J llarry, A civil engineer; Policeman Patrick Kearny, who arrested Guiteau; T. II. Alexander, ' present at tho depot; John _ Taylor, a colored iiackman; A. ttrmvn, cniof clerk at the stato department; Adolphus' Eckloff, a police lieutenant; J. Stanley Brown, President Garfield's privato secretary, who testified to Guitean's frequent calls at tho White House, and James L. Denny, in charge of tho nows stand at the depot. * None of the evidenco of those witnesses contained anything that has not already been mado public. On the eixtli day tho first witness examined was Gcorgt) C. Mavnard, an olectrician, who t? stilled to having loaned Guiteau $25?$15 at oiio timo and $10 at another. Tho prosecution desired to provo hy this witness that Guiteau borrowed the $15 with which he bought tho revolver to shoot tho President. Guiteau interrupted tho witness several times in an excited wanner. Joseph N. Burkart, clerk to Mr. Mayn;.rd, also tastified to the loan of the $13, and thought Guitean's walk and tho way he hold iiis head a little peculiar. John O'Menra testified to eelling the pistol to Guiteau. He couldn't identify it, as there were thousands just like it. Tho charges wero then drawn Irom tho revolver, at tlio suggestion of counsel and much to tho relief of tho audienco. Pending tho examination of the; pi3tol, Giiitewi desired to annotinco to the court that ho invited John D. Town?ond, of it 1 a?n A a i? I aNCW lorji, ;wiu ijvuuaru on uu uuua, u. jliuus, r of Chicago, to assist him. There was plenty of brains on the other Bide, and ho desired as much on his in tho interest of justice. "Auothec matter," lio continued, '' I desire to call to tho i attention of the court. There aro a number of I disreputable characters about tho court, and < some threats of violence liavo been mado <lur- j iug tho week past. I liavo no fears for my pereonal safety. Tho chief of polico has kindly furnished mo a body-guard, and I wish to notify all cvil-dispouoi persons that ifi they attempt to harm mo my bodyguard will ehoot them down, that's j all thcro is about it." Then nodding to i the reporters'tables lie added: "Reporters, put tha* down !' Colonel A. L. Rockwell was the ! next witness, and proceeded to detail what ho. i observed at ttio time of tho shooting. Mr. Scovillo interrupted to inquiro whether it was worth while to go into tho details, adding, " Wo1 do not deny tho killing?" Guitoau hero broko in with: *' Wo do dony tho killing, your honor. Wo admit tho shouting." General D. G. Swaim, tho next witness, testified that ho was the last person to whom Mr. Garfield spoke?his last words being'"Oh, Swaim I" Dr. D. 'iY. Bliss | was tho next witness, lie pointod out on a por- I t;on of a lmmxn tkoloton tho course which j tiie ball had taken, and tho manner j in which death had been produced. The wound made by tho ball was the immedi- | ate cause of death. On cross-examiation Mr. j 1'obiuson required that Dr. Bliss should do- | scribo iho varying symptoms of tho President's | ca<-e from tho' time when tho doctor saw Gen- | eral Garfield at tho depot on July 2 until his J death at Klheron, describing tho symptoms of j each day separately. This mado a reference to j tho medical diary of the physicians necessary, and Dr. Bliss began to read from tho records. Dr. llcybuni, who wrote them, was sworn and placed in tho witn?s? box to act as an interpreter of his handwriting. This had boon going 011 for some timo and it was apparent that it would rerjuiro one or two daily sessions of tho court to complete tho reading. Counsel for tho iirosocution. therefore, protested and offered j to place tho record in the hands of tho defense, | from which they could frame such quostiona as | they might desire, which offer was accented. A | section of tho vertebral column of tho late j President, allowing tho track of tho bullet | through if, was handed to Dr. Bliss and identi- ! lied by him. Afterward this piecowas picked ; up by Sir. h'coville, and while lie held it Guiteau | leaiied over it and for several minutes examined | it. Tlioro was no expression except one of , curiosity in'his ccuntenancc as ho gazed upon f tho relic of tho man ho had murdered. Proceedings were opened in court cn the i seventh day and iseeoud week of the tiial by Mr. ltobins'on, Ouiteau'a junior counsel, who I requested the judge to discharge him from further participation in the case, saying ho had ? bi-en treated discourteously by tho seniorcoun sel, Mr. tieoville. Ho was here interrupted by Guiteau, who broke in with "l'our honor, I i want Itobinson to stay in." Continuing, Mr. ! Itobinson requested tho court to grant his dis- 1 charge from tho case, and positively stated that he coul.1 not with proper eelt'-ru^iKiot remain in association with Mr. Scoville. Guiteau here interrupted with: "That's an able speech, and I agree with the most part of it. If lie had only inado it las-. Monday, there iiover would . have been any disturbance betweon us." Mr. j .-'eoville hero tried to quiet Guitoau when he retorted upau him: "Keep quiet yo::r-I'm j talking now, I sympathize witii him in this j matter." Mr. hScovillo made a brief statement, , deploring tho disagreement, after which Judge Cox relieved Mr. 1 '.ubinson from further ojnuec- j ti'iii with the defense. Mr. Scoville began toad- [ dr( ss the cottt t saying: "We do not expect to bo j compelled to conduct tho case entirely without ; assistance." Hero Guiteau exclaimed: "I j understood Tmlgo Magrmler was anxious to j asai .t in thb trial; also Mr. John I). Town- ' send; 1 should liko to have thorn appear hero, i as well as .Messrs Swctt and Trade,of Chicago." | Then adding, after a fcliort pause: "One word i on the question of malpractice; my idea is i simply this, that by the physicians' own state- J uient on the 25th of July tho President was ; not fatally shot. We don't want to press the j subject; only (! sire to have it go on the rccord, *o that thi! court in banc may tuko noticoofit.'' Alter a brief pau*o Guiteau added. "That's all there is to the malpractice business, short and to the point. 1 want it understood I appear as my own conned litre, i am uio agent <>i me i Deity mid I cxpect Him to talco earo of me. I ; < think He has managed it pretty well ho far." 1 The diritrift attorney then "called Doctor* j Woodward and Lamb, who testified to the \ character of the wound, that it was a mortal j one. They also identified tho ball which was ' exhibited to tho jury an tho one ihoy had taken from tho body of President Garfield. ! Tho prosecutiou then rested tlieir cano, and . Guiteau was allowed permission to be heard in . tho opening of his defense. Guiteau, retaining liiu aunt Iw.Tjm- " Ynur honor. I was not aware that I was expected to speak this rooming." j Mr. Scovillo Jiero loaned over and whispered to ! 1 him, when Guiteau retortod sharply and with I i impationce- "I won't stand up. I'm not : afraid to, ho'.vcver; but I have only a moment i . to speak, and will keep my seat. I do not j caro to Bay nioro than was published latt Monday in my aldrcus to the public. I presume ( tho jnrv all saw it. I have no Bet speech to i i mako. I fippear as my own counsel, and my j idea is to mako corrections as wo ko along, j i just as I havo done the past three or font days. I don't mean any discourtesy to any one; I only want to get at the facts. If any ono says I owe them $20 and I don't, I will deny it on the spot. My idea is to tnko things when they are hot;; not let them get cold ami , 1 suffer from misrepresentation. Of course I | shall go on the stand at the proper time and bo ! , ex&miuod nnd cross-examined. My idea, how- | over, is to meet a misstatement when it is hot instead of waiting to let the matter got digested j and misunderstood. I thiuk the true way is to i ' interject my statements as tho case proceeds. 1 j 1 havo no set speech to make, but am much j obliged to j our honor and to my counsel for tho i courtesy of ibis invitation." Mr. Scovillo then addressed tho jury at considerable length for the defense, but without finishing he requested that tho court would permit him to closo on the following day, and me request waa granted. On th? eighth day of the trial Mr. Scoville xmtinued but did not finish hie opening ad- ' ireaa for tho defense. Mr. Scoville confined > liis Bpocoh mainly to showing that Quitean was j insane, and that Lasanity waa horoditary in tho , ramily. He gave an account of tho Ouitoau I family and stated that several of its members aad aied in insano asylums. Tho lather ; )f the assassin, ho said, was weak-minded, i md tho prisoner himself had long been j 3f unsound mind. Ho gave a sketch j 3f the prisoner's lifo and of his per- ' jonal peculiarities. Seme of tho statements made oflunded Guiteau's vanity, and ho promptly pronounced them false. Others of She statements ho approved warmly. Mr. Scoi-illo revealed tlio fact that tho prisoner had recontly attempted to carry on a love correspondence, and statod that' letters written by the prisonor had not been sent to their addro**. ivhereupon Quiteau became furiously angry and i denounced his counsel as a liar. Tho scene be- j tweon tho brothers-in-law when Gniteau called Scovillo a liar, because lie had deceived him about his matrimonial correspondence, was | very dramatic. Gaitcan never stands up to j speak, but ho pounded on the desk before lain vigorously, as ho shouted in tho most dramatic manner: * "You're a liar I you're a liar! biu you can't fool 1110." The dispatcher way that "Mr. Scoville's speech was very ingenious. His is tho art that conceals art and, as his suhtlo sentences flowed forth, it was difficult to believo that he had had sixty years expei ience of affairs, and had been for several decades a lawyer in active practice, lie soemod som* "next friend " just in from tho backwoods. He tvas eo gentle, so unsophisticated in every way, so candid and calm that bo won not only ttie attention of tho judge, tho jury and the audienco, but thoir sympathy, eo that when he ] made a particularly good point and again when ho gave District-Attornoy Corkhill a home thrust, he waa heartily applauded." On the ninth day Mr. Scovillo continued and closed his speech for tho defense. Ho read several lotters written by the defendant years ago in order to show that Guiteau's mind was disordered. Tho prisoner was moro than tinunlly talkative during tho closing part of Mr. Scoville's speech, continually interrupting and sometimes contradicting the speaker's assertions. For example, Mr. Scovillc was criticising Guiteau's speech? "Garfield against Hancock'?ridiculing the idea of any sane man considering it a recommendation for office, when tho prisoner broke in angrily: "That spcech waa a decided recommendation. Tho point was hero?that not only did I publish that Bpecch on the Gthof August, but I was actively engaged with Arthur and Jewell during tho entire canvass. I made suggestions to them, and was around with them day and night. I took a hearty interest in tho canvass, i hat was tho ground on which I expected oflice, and I never doubted from that day to this that t should have tho Paris " Mr. Scovillo r angrily)?" If the prisoner does not koep silent I shall havo to stop the opening." The prisoner (excitedly) ?" Then confine yourself to facts.' The court (sternly)?"Koep quie>. You shall havo an opportunity to speak wlion you got upon the stand." The prisoner attempted to break in, but was sevorcly ordered by the court to bo silent. "If you will not," continued tho ejurt, "I will have to take stronger measures to make you." Tho prisoner?"I shall keep quiet. I only want this thing to go out straight. I shall givo tho entire tacts when I am on tho stand." In concluding his address, Mr. Scoville said: "It lias to be determined here whether your follow man, with all his mislortuues and all his shortcomings, is to end his life on tho gallowB. This quostion will bo submitted to you by tho evidencp, with tho confidence that you will do what is right according to your conscienco, and what wilt meet approval of your fellow couutrymon nnd your God." Tho testimony for tho dofenso was then begun by H. N. Burton, a Congregational clcrg.vinau of Illinois, formerly a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich. IIo testified tlic.t ho there attended tho lecture delivered by Guiteau on tho " Second Coming of Christ." Ho thought that the goneral position of tho lecturer waa peculiar. Witness could not say that ho then thought that Guiteau wan eo far insauo as not to bo a responsible person. Tlio next two witnesses were Hiram H. Davis, of Erie, Pa., and Thompson WilcoxBoii, eighty-one years old, of Htephonson county, III. The first named tostified that ho lia<l known Guiteau'a aunt and her daughter, and that the latter was foolish. Mr. Wilcoxson tostified to having known Guiteau'a father intimately, and that he was peculiar. Dr. John A. ICice, a practicing physician at Merton, Wis., was the next witness, and he testified that ho had pronounced Guiteau insano in l?7i), and advised his seclusion iu an asylum. According to this doctor's diagnosis mado et that time from his personal observations, joined to his knowledge of tho family's history, the pi Honor was the victim of a morbid exaltation of emotions, incoherence of thought and abnormal c?otitm, a pseudo-religious belief, a weakening of tho judgment nnd an impairing of tho mental faculties. He regarded him at that time as insane, and thought that ho had then described him as dangerous. Fr.auk L. Union, of Boston, next testified that Guiteau had eomo to him to biro a hall in 1870, and that, from the prisoner's action* at that time he thought him queer. Witness had refuse:! to lot Guiteau have the hall. Mary L. Lockwood, the next witness, testified that Guiteau had boarded at her house in Washington for a month beginning March 12, 1881, aad that ho left because he could not pay his board. She saw nothing peculiar in Guiteau'a mannor except his abruptness. Georgo \V. Olds, of Traverse county, Michigan, next testified that ho was employed in the Munmer of 1870 on Mr. Scoville's* summer place at Beaver Lake, Wis. On onu occasion Mr*. Scovillo called witness to the house and said, in the presence of tho prisoner, that he was crazy, and had attempted to kill her, and told witness to put him oil tho place. Witness took Guiteau into a back kitchen and talked with him. He seemed very much excited about Mrs. Scoville's saying "that ho was crazy, and ho said that she was the crazy one, no: he, and that if she woro takon away and put in an insane asylum everything would go alcng nicely on the place. Witness also related how Guiteau, when ho was fet to work to weed turnips and ttnuvberries, pulled up more turnips and atrawberiits than ho did weeds; and how, when he was sent out with a pan of soft eoap to soap some young applo trees, ho set to work f-oapmg a grove of hickory trees, and persisted in saying that thoy wero"fruit trees. Tho Postmaster-General's Report, The report of Postmaster-General James for tho fiscal year ending Juno 30 i-tates the expenditures of his department at $30,251,730.46, and its revonues at $30,785,307.07, showing a dcficit of $2,406,338.40, which was covered by an appropriation of $3,000,UUO "made by Congress. The number of letters mailed was 1,047,107,348. Tho registry and money order systems are rapidly increasing in popularity, and the receipts much exceed their expenses. Mr. James recommends that tho feo lor tho issue of money orders for sums not exceeding $5 bo reduced from ten ccnts to five cents, and that tho maximum limit of tho amount of an order be raised to $100. Ho. also recommends a now form of postal order, to be engraved upon bank paper, its valuo to bo punctured as well as written out, and which shall bo payable to bearer at tho designated postoflico any time within three months after date. Mr. James concurs with tho recommendations of his predecessors in favor of tho establishment of postal savings banks. Mr. James holds that the cost of Btar servico oucht to decreaso rapidly. Reductions of ex penso in tlii* particular amount to $1,147.75 for tiio yoar. llosaya: " A minute investigation into alleged abuses in tho star ronto service was instituted by direction of the late President, aud is still boing prosecuted. Tho poatoffice department lias cooperated, and^vill continue to co-operate, with tne department of justice in this investigation. No one who lias not been directly concerned in the matter can fully appreciate thn magnitude of the undertaking, the mass of record evidence examined, the diflicultics of a personal investigation in spartely-settled territories, and tho results attained by the patient and intelligent labors of tho inspectors of this department. Thero can bo no doubt, from tho facts already ascertained, that the existing statutes leave tho way opened to great abuses, aud that thero is abundant ground for asking a judicial investigation of th3 transactions of tho last few years." Mr. Jame3 thinks that not only can tho postoflico department bo mado seJf-ausfaming, but that within three years a reduction of letter postage from three to two cent? will bu possible. This could be accomplished ho declares bv proper economies and by ceasing to load down the mail* with bulky and unprofitable third and fourth class matter. UiiIobb this matter, principally merchandise, ia excluded, tho pav of the principal trunk linea will havo to ho largely increased. Mr. Jaiues thinks, however, that tho majoiityof railroads aro overpaid, and the pay lor this Bcrvico should bo 1 ?adjusted. Ho tays : " I had hoped to he nblo to submit the outline of legislation which I believe would accomplish a great saving in tho cost of tho railway mail some?, improve its efficiency, and be satisfactory to tho country, iho department and the railroad companies. The sad events of the past summer rendered the accomplishment of this duty impossible." Mr. James thinks that salaries of postmasters in towns of 10,000 and less aro too large. He lecomrnends incro ised pay for auxiliary lettercarriers and for the postmasters in large cities. ' In conclusion Mr. James argues that to secure efficient service tho method of appointments to minor offices should bo made independent of personal or partisan intluenee. Tho number of postmasters, contractors, clerks in postofiices, railway postollico clerks, route agents and other officers in tho service June 30, 1881, was 01,114. " Tho Smallest We've Gol." Au English paper tells this good Btorv: By virtue of certain capitulations with tho Snblime Porte, tho United States, in coruruon with other governments, are entitled to keep a gunboat in tlie Sea of Marmora for the carrying of dispatches, tho protection of their citizens domiciled at Fera and Gamta, and ?o forth.

No life can be utterly miserable that is lightened by the laughter and love of one little child. Wrong doing is a road that may open fair, but it leads to trouble and danger. Well doing, however rough and thorny at first, surely leads to pleasant places. An unkind word from one beloved often draws tho blood from many a heart which would defy tho battle-nz of hatred or tho keenest edge of vindictive satire. He was one of the few great rulers whose wisdom increased with his power, ar.d whoso spirit grew gentler and tenderer as hi-3 triumphs were multiplied. If yon bate your enemies, you wil contract such a vicious liabit of mind as by degrees will break out upon those who are jour friends or those who arc indifferent to you. In order to have any success in life, or any worthy success, you must resolve to carry-into your work a fullness of knowledge?not merely a sufficiency, but more than a sufficiency. A swimmer becomes strong to stem tho tide only by frequently breasting the big waves. If you practice always in shallow water, your heart will assur- j edly fail in the hour of high flood. In peace patriotism really consists only in this?that every one sweeps before his own door, minds his own business, also learns his own lesson, that it may bo well with him in his own house. Struck by Lightning. A strange story comes from Union county, Arkansas. Three young men were sitting on their horses in the road, discussing the probabilities of rain from a cloud which just then was rising in the west. The youngest of the group, named John Freeman, referred to the drought and remarked that a God who would allow his peoplo to suffer this couldn't amount to much. As he was speaking this the boys were encircled with lightning and the speaker stunned severely, though his companions were unscathed. Recovering, he renewed the subject, bitterly reviling the Supremo power. Instantly a Doit or lightning flashed from th<? cloud overhead, and the young man fell dead in his tracks. Nearly every bone in his body was mashed to a jelly, while his boots were torn from his feet and the clothing from his lower extremities, j The body presented a horrible appear- j anco, beinK a blackened and mangled J mass of humanity. His companions wero stunned and thiown on the ground,- bnt not seriously injured. The fnneral of the unfortuuate young man occurred the next day, and attracted a largo crowd, the larger portion of whom were drawn thither by the rumor of the strange events preceding tho death of the ! deceased. When the body wa3 deposited j in tho grave and the loose eaiih had been thrown in until tho aperture was filled, I and while tho friends of the dead man I yet lingered in the cemetery, a bolt of ' lightning descended from a cloud dij reetly over the burial-place and struck 1 the ju-ave, throwing the dirt as if a plow hud passed lengthwise through it. No j one was injured, but those present scat t^red, almost paralyzed with terror. The j incident excited a great deal of attenI tion, ministers and religious people I generally holding that the young man j was tho victim of the wrath of an of; fended God, whilo others asserted that j the caso was simply a wonderful coinci: deuce, having no connection with causes j either physical or eupernatual. A Question of Etiquette.' j Among the humors chronicled of the Yorktowu celebration it was mentioned thai tho President was introduced to the governor of Virginia, instead of tho latter being presented to the President of the United States. Referring to the story the Washington Star says: If so, it was merely another renderI ing of tho old question of etiquette beI tween President George Washington | and Governor John Hancock, of Massachusetts. When the former made his first visit to Boston after he became President, ho accepted an invitation of I the governor to an informal dinner, but expected a call from that functionary as soon as he arrived, instead of which he eceived a message from him pleading that he was too much indisposed to do so. Washington doubted the sincerity j of the apology, as ho had been given < to understand that the governor wished . to evade making the first cail, holding 1 that as governor of a State, and within j the bounds of That Stute, it was a proper I point of etiquette thnthe should receive ! the first visit even from tho President j of the United States. Washington re | sisted this pretension, so excused him" 1 self from the dinner and dined at his ! lodgings.

A gentle stimulus, such as afforded by Hoatetter's Stomach Bitters, is oftentimes tlio unquestioned means of preventing on* of those numerous maladies to which tho kidneys 1 aud bladder aro subjcct, and which aro so prone to terminate suddenly and fatally. No- | phitis, Bright's diseaso, diabetes, catarrh and ( stone of the bladder are all maladies which, even in their inception, are well calculated to | arouse tho gravest apprehension?, but which may be checked at the outsot with this benign preventive, which is also a fino restorativo of general vigor, an anti-malarial specific, and a j remedy for dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, rheumatism and nervousness. It is thoroughly reliable and safe, and a fine tonic lor tho enfeebled and desponding at all times.

Consumption in its early stages is readily cured by tho use of I)r. Pierco's "Golden Medical Discovery," though, if tho lungi are wasted no medicine will effect a cure. No known remedy possesses such soothing aud hoaling intluence over nil scrofulous, tuberculous and pulmonary affection* as the "Discovery." .Toliu Willi:), of Elyria, Ohio, writes: "The 'Golden Medical Discovery1 does positively cure consumption, as, alter trying every other medicine in vain, this succeeded."

Important to the Public as well as the Medical Profession. j Hall's Journal of Health, referring to Consumption, | makes the following important statement: | "Consumption usually begins with a Blight, dry cough in tho morning, then, on going to bed, getting I more and more frequent, with more and more I phlegm, increasing debility, thinness of flesh, short| ness of breath, and quickness of pulse. In fatal cases its average courso is about two years; hence tho importance of arresting the disease at a3 early a stago as possible, and tho sooner rational moans are employed for this purposo tho greater tho chance of success. The disease is owing to an irritation com| mencing in the throat and extending to tho lungs, so | that their action is interfered with, and the blood j does not receivo sufficient oxygen to purify it. The ! most marked sign of lung disease is emaciation; and the most positive indication of returning health Is | increase in weight." i So speaks Hall's Journal of Health, and we may add ! that in desperate cases, and, in fact, in all cases ot Consumption, or troubles of the throat and lungs, . immedialo relief may bo obtained and a permanent cure effected by tho uso of. Dr. Win. Hall's Balsam j for tho Lungs, a medicino known for more than i thirty-five year3 as an unfailing remedy for coughs, I colds, bronchitis and all pulmonary and pectoral j diseases. That tho worst cases of Consumption have 1 been cured by the use of Hall's Balsam has been attested to by tho thousands who have used it, or have been cognizant of its wonderful remedial cfllcacy.

This applies to ir.s;erial / II I 1 thing3 as well iu to immaterial con' I .wll' 1 siderations. The Icicle, whose flv I Ti P pearance In the wintry cold and J* I bleakness sends the shiver of dlscom* P; | f fort through the observer, would sue| , gest notions of the coolest comfort in ' w ? not and sultry days of the summer \ , ? season.
