e Potato In Its Native Country. An English gentleman wlio long resided in Chili obtained from different persons the following facts in relation to tbe way potatoes are cultivated there : I pot some valnable information from intelligent workmen born and bred in the south, some of whrm hnd wrought in the potato fields when young, and are now employed on the railway. One of them, .Tot-e Maria Lorca, is from the island of Chiloe (south latitude fortythree). He thinks there are no good potatoes out of his own country, and I believe there is some reason for his opinion. For, unlike the rest of Chili, the potato is there the staplo article of food, consequently moro attention is paid to the selecting cf good varieties and to the best modes of cooking. He nni/1 in f\Tnvfli a r.r>1 ^ uviu la iuu xivxiu, uju don't know what potatoes are. They neither know how to cook them nor how to eat them, and the potatoes are not so good as in my country. There you have something worth eating?potatoes so mealy that yon can't boil them for breaking tiiem to pieces." Potatoes are roasted in tho ashpits in wood ashes. They are always ready there, and if a friend comes in he is offered a hot potato out of tho ash-pit, with salt or a piece of dried fish. They are white and floury, and fall to pieces when the roasted crust is taken off. In fact, Chiloe is the Ireland of Chili as regards potatoes. Josa did not know much about tiieir cultivation, out ue naa never beard of any disease attacking them. Chiloe is very rainy. Indeed it rains almost continuously there, while the preater part of the rest of Chili is dry. The varieties grown there thrive with rain, and suf fer from the want of it. Seed taken from Chiloe ought to suit Ireland and the west of Scotland and England. The following is the mode of cultivation in the chacra, or large kitchen garden. The plat of ground selected fcr potatoes is sown with barley in March or April as soon as the previous crop lias V been harvested. The bariey grows tiil UK August, when it Ls in the ear. The ear IfcT'are then cat off and sold for feeding horses, cows und pigs. The long green ??' ?kubble is plowed or dug into the ground, where it soon rots and serves manure. In October the ground is pwparod for planting. The seed is Pr planted at a depth of from eight to ten t-raofces below the surface in rows one Mv?ra" apart (tbirtv-three inches). ?y Ho wevor, the seeds are not put in ; aiogly, but in groups of four, and the P|p:digtktnce between the group3 is T-, jtoo one "vara." Some people put four 6:'' ttoall potatoes in each group, but the ! r newer improved oiethod :.s to put in | four sets of one eye each, :-ut from the ST-*,-' WUV V'i I T* v/ VJ Vv? i?*hv (-v tatoes. If there are any small eyes ? in the sets they are destroyed to pro|< v Tent them from growing. After the > ' plants are well through the ground they are dag all around, and the ground thoi ?kr.onghly loosened. Some time after, the earth is hoed up about then into round '^ pfles like big mole hills, and when fltrther grown they get another hoeing up. i am assured that immense crops are procured by this method?as much as eighteen tons per English acre? mostly of largepoiatoes. The rotation includes maize, French be^s, pumpkins, etc. I do not know the order, but have Deen tola several times tuat you always get a goDd crop of potatoes after French beans. As regards the varieties cultivated in the country, some are adapted for early cousJfBTption, others for keep- j ing through the winter. I have heard a good deal about "papas reynas." The potato men cry them in the streets of Valparaiso. They are fine, dry, mealy potatoes, and really the best in Chili, but do not keep well during the win- ; ter. They become soft and black. The j "berrajilla," a red potato, keeps well. A Young Traiu Robber's End. P. E. Sullivan, a young man of twenty-three years, one of the train robbers recently sentenced to fcevonty rMN in tViA Arltfinsns npr.itflntiarv. died in prison of a broken heart. Shortly after his confinement he became gloomy, and goinp to the prison physician complaintd of being sick. Upon examination the physician <1:-covered that the man was not suffering from j any perceptible disease, but tuut liis pulse was 140. He was ordered to tlie hospital, where every possiblo care was given him. lie revived after a time, j bnt every one could see despair written on his countenance. He entered the | prison cheerfully, and lightly spoke of | the long teim of his sentence, but after awhile a letter came. "When ho read j the lines his spirits sank. Tears told . of misery that ink conid not express. ' He went again to his bed. The end is thus related: * "The shadows are gathering fast and night is oppressing me with its dark- I ness," he said to some ono standing j near. " ODe crime, and then death in a peniten'iarv.

" Seizing the bridle rein, he sprang upon his antagonist's boise and dashed away." "He's reading one of those wild books that we used to steal away and dovour," said one of the dying man's companions in crime. " Halt! he exclaimed, drawing I - a revolver and leveling it at the head of young Horace," continued the sufferer.

The December number of the Centwry Magazine contains a fac simile of a memorable piece of writing by President Garfield?tho "Strangulates pro Bepublica* autograph?and in conjunction with it the following letter from the dead Fredident's friend: Washington-, D.

Ten years ago the Hotel de Ville, at Paris, was destroyed by the Commune. Four years ago the blackened and crumbled walls stared at the passere-by. I But now comes tlaa announcement that the new Hotel de Ville is nearly finished. It is a magnificent building and has already cost a vast deal of gmoney. The estimates for doors, window frames, glass and locks amounts to 8150,000, and over $100,000 is allowed for interior decoration and furnishing. The Parisian journals give a detailed description of the new building, from which it is learned that on the ! four fronts 106 statues, each eight feet in height, will be displayed in niches. j All these, says one journal, will be 1 representations of persons born in Paris ' and raised by their genias, patriotism | or public service to eminence, and it is gratifying to learn that nearly a fourth of the number will signalize the merits and the labors of literary men. Mr. Mulhall, a leading Euglish statistician, estimates that the United States fa accumulating wealth at the rate of at least $'2,500,000 a day, or, in round numbers, at $1,000,000,000 a year. A FIERCE FIGHT. P*?rtlcnlnr? of r Terrible Aflrny In nn Arizona Town?Thirty .Shots In Twenty Second*. Tho Nugget, a paper published in Tombstone, Arizona, gives the followI ing graphic account of a fierce fight which occurred in that place not long ago: The origin of tho trouble dates back to the first arrest cf Still well and Spencer for the robbery of the Bisbee stage. The co-operation of the Earps i with the sheriff and his deputies in the | arrest, causing a number of the cow| boys to, it is said, threaten the lives of i all interested in the capturo. Still, < I nothing occurred to indicate that any I such threats would bo carried into exe| cution. Bnt Tuesday night Ike Clan- 1 j ton and Doc Holliday had some diffi- , I culty in the Alhambra saloon. Hard words passed between them, and wnen they parted it was generally understood that the feeling between the two was that of intense hatred. Yesterday morning Clanton came on the street armed with a riflo and revolver, bnt was immediately arrested by Marshal Earp, disarmed/ and fined by Justice Wallace for carrying concealed weapons. While in the court-room Wyatt Earp tJd him, as he had made threats ag inst Viih lifV lio \rnntpfJ him to make his fight, to say how, when anil where ho would fight, and to get his crowd, and he (Wyatt) would be on hand. In reply Clanton said: ''Four feet of ground is enough for me to fight on, and I'll be there." A short time after this William Clanton and Frank McLowry came into town, and, as Thomas McLowry wae already here, the feeling soon became general that a fight would ensue before the day was over, and crowds of expectant men stood on the comer of Allen and Fourth streets awaiting the coming conflict. It was now about 2 o'clock, and at this time Sheriff Belian appeared upon the scene and told Marshal Earp that if he disarmed his pos^e, composed of Morgan and Wyatt Earp l unci Doc HolliJay, he would go down | to the O. K. Corral, whero Ike and i .Tames Clanton and Frank and Tom Mc j Lowry were, and disarm them. The ; marshal did not desire to do this until I assured that there was no dancer of an attack from tbe otuer party. The sheriff went to the corral and told the cowboys that they mnst, put their arms away and not have any trouble. Iko Clanton and Tom McLowry said they were t.ot armed, and Frank McLowry said he would not lay his aside. In the mean time the marshal had concluded to go, and, if possible, end tho matter i by disarming them ; and as he and his 1 I posse came down Fremont street to- 1 ; ward the corral the sheriff stepped out and said : 1 "Hold up, boys. Don't go down 1 there or there will be trouble. I have been down thera to disarm them." Cut they passed on. and when within a few feet of th^m tin* mar.-hal eaid to the Clintons and McLowrys: " Throw up your hands, boys, I intend to disarm you." As he spoke Frank McLowry made a motion to draw a revolver, when "Wyatt Earp pulled his and shot him, the ball striking on the right side of his abdomen. About the same time Doc Hoii i.'j rr? at?t illlUV bllUb J.ULU iiltuuwi* JU tuc uguu side", using a shotgun, such as is carried by Well's, Fargo k Co's messengers. In ( the meantime Billy Clanton had a 6hot at "Morgan Earp, tho ball passing through tho point of the left shoulder ' blade across his back, just grazing the ( backbone and coming out at tfie right c | shoulder, the ball remaining inBide liis shirt. He fell to the ground, but in an * instant gathered himself, and, rising f to a sitting position, fired at Frank Mc- ' Lowry as he crossed Fremont street at the same instant Doc Holliday shot t him, both balls taking effect, either of which would have proved fatal, as one t of them struck him in the right temple c and the other in the left breast. As he started across the street, however, he c pulled hi3 gun down on Llolliday, say- t ing, ,lI've got you now." 'Blaze arcay! You're a daisy if you v have," replied Doc. t This shot of McLowry!s passed j through Hollidaj's pistol-pocket, just grazing tho skin. While this was go- e iDg on Billy Clanton had shot Virgil Gi Eurp in the right leg, tho ball passing t'-rough tho calf, inflicting a severe ^ tL*>h wound, la turn he bad been shot by Morg Earp in the right wrist and * orce in the left breast. Soon after tho shontmg commenced Ike Clanton ran ^ through the O. K. Corral across Alien ^ street into Kellogg's saloon, and thence ^ into Toughnut street,- where he was 11 arretted and taken to the county jail. The firing altogether did not occupy ^ more than twenty seconds, during which P iran fully thirty shots were fired. t( After the fight was over Billy Clanton, T who with wonderful vitality survived CJ his wounds for fully an hour,' was carried into a house, where he lay, and tl evi rything possible done to make his d I.i>o moments easy. Ee was game to' ? the last, never uttering a word of com- g plaint, and just before breathing his a last he said: " Good-bye,boys; go away and let me die." The wounded were taken to their houses, and at 3 o'clock t this morning were resting comfortably. The dead bodies were taken [ in charge by the coroner. If there is such a thing as "sand" the shooting yesterday bore evidence that some men pack around enough of the gritty substance to start a grindstone quarry. Everybody engaged knew that their "lives were liable to be put out by b the pulling of a trigger, and no man winced or wavered a hair. After being 0 shot down and the life blood flowing 8 away, both young Clanton and Frank McLowry still kept up the fire on their o Opponents, and asked no quarter. With J. great boles pierced through their bodies J by the leaden messages of death, their solo anxiety seemed to be to return shot Bfor shot, and only when the spark of tl life ceased to burn did they relinquish g tbeir hold on the death-dealing revol- 0 ver, and they sank to earth as the smoke c, frnrn t.lipir wpunnns asopndf'd as from a funeral pyre. Before death claimed t] them for his own they saw Morgan Earp fall, only to raise up and renew the f mnrderous fire, and the chances for each man'slifeerigaged were a thousand to one against him. Who says it does not requiro courage to stand und listen c to the music of a halt a dozen six-shoot- fi ers, bingiDg a death march in unison e every time the hammers cnran down? 11 But these men died as they would a probably have chosen to die had they h had their choice. From the wild life 1 they led, the dangers they encounter, ? and the chances they take in their chosen profession, it in a part of their ? creed that they must bo ushered into (] the next world amid a pyrotechnic dis? r play and tho whistling ol bullots. s Ai>eaic Eating. I It is estimated that at least four thou- t sand of the young ladies of St. Louis a are given to these poisonous practices. | ^ They eat arsenic to give "snap" and , i brilliancy to their eyes and smoothness | B to their complexion; ihey take laudauum I ? or opium either to overcomo lassitude j begotten of lat; hours und reckless (] revelry, or because they are fascinated w by the wild and riotous dreams, and love to follow the drowsy phatita-iea t( the drugs call up. This number in- ; j cludf.8 the young women only, and does ; [( not take into accotmt the large number ; ^ of married and ageing ladies who indulge their taste or folly in this direction. I ! If the figures are correct, they argue i ^ the existence of a terribly destructive ! ^ force at work in the ranks of young 'j. womanhood, and the fact that a law is 1 laid down for the express purpose of preventing the wholesale use of poisons by the people does not appear to offer p the weakest possible barrier to the 8 further prevalence of ttie practice. I c have heard it said that some ladies wero * even so far forpetfol of themselves, and 11 so terribly under the fascination of in- S toxicatiag drugs, that they paid periodi- ? cal visits to the back rooms or cellars of d Chinese laundries, and gave plentifully of their pin money for whiffs at the nauseous opium pipe.

TRIAL OF GUITE1U. Tho cross-examination of Guiteau by Judga Porter was continued and brought to it conclusion on tho sixteenth day. The assassin spoke of himself as a m&n of destiny. Ho described tho "delightful and cozy fellowship" ho witnessed botween President GarlleM and Secretary Blaino, and which, he said, intensified his conviction that the President must be 'removed "in order to avert tho evib of Mr. Blaiuc'a influenco over liim- He showed the samo cunning and quickness as boforo; the same protnptucsi to see tho drift of a question still unfinished, and the same readiness in wriggling out of it, and tho same monstrous vanity and brutal malice. And while ho w<ta involved, as ho was on tho previous day, in a number of contradictions on minor points, ho nevertheless adhered with singular tenacity to l>ia tliAArv nf Twn r?rlmiRHlDUM of considerablo importance were made, however, in tho courso of tbo day. Ono flipped from him when ho was brought up by Judge Porter's harassing cross-examination to a fit of anger. The other was only worried out of him by persistent questioning. Tho first came when Siicif,# Porter pressed to tell why ho should have hired a carriage to take him to the jail after tho shooting when ho ki.ew ho was a'-tinu un-Jer Divine inspiration and believed the Lord would take caro of liim. The assRssin l>ad already been in a dozen rages becauso Judjro Porter persisted in dwelling upon tbo incidents of tho murder, and when ho insisto 1 upon an answer to this question Guiteau bioke out angrily. "Why," said he, shaking his righ* hand toward Judge Portor, "I wasn't going to be torn to pieces by a mob. I knew they'd say: ' IJo's a disappointed office-seeker; hang him at onco.'" " Oh, you expected that, did you?" said Judge Porter, in his blando.4 and most insinuating tone. Gui teau seemed to see that he had made a fatal s ip. "But I know it would be all false 1" ho shouted, angrily. "But you expected it?" persisted Judge Porter, atill bland, yet with a morn menacing intonation. " Ya?as, I expected it," said Guiteau, with nis favorite snarl, now angrier than evor. Tho other admission referred to was a statement which oloscd tho cross-examination Judge Porter gave to it a dramatic effoct. He had been questioning tho assassin upon the incidents of tho shooting. Then folding his arms an<l fixing his dark eyes full upon him, Judge Porter said, with slow, impressive utterance: " And from that day to this you have never felt remorse for the deed?"' Guitcau tried to escape from the query. He shifted about restlessly in his seat, and his eyes, which were lowered, fan backward and forward airing the top of the witness-box. lie seemed to shrink from looking at Judge Porter. Being pressed hard for an answer ho finally repliod, throwing angry and furtive glances at the cross-cxamiuer, "Why, of course, I felt remorso bo far?" " That is all," said Judgo Porter, gravoly, sitting down. "The crossexamination is ended." Gui eau had seen tho mi*-tako as soon as ho had mado it, mid Judge Porter did not get his words out of his mouth before tho assassin wai poumiinz on the front of the witness-box and hotly explaining that liis remorse was only a regret for tho nefwsity of tho act. It was an impressive and significant endiug to the long cross-examination. Guiteau was followed on tho witness stand by Dr. Alexander Neil, of Cc lumbus, Ohio, who testified that when he saw tho prisoner three or four years ago ho thought him a lunatic.

Storra, of Chicago, next testified that ho knew tho prisoner by sight; tho noibAn/.w ArtnvAa/tliArl Vi 1 r?> in Vnm Vnrlr ri>> Uin street and hamleil him his business card; saw him at varior.a times during tho presidential campaign around tbo Republican headquarters in New York. Prisoner bad Riven witness copies of his (Ouiteau'e) speoch, which witness | had read, and thought r curious production. Tho next timo witness saw Guitee.ii was in Washington in April last, when ho told him be was going to have the Paris consulship. Witness was impressed that prisoner had an illybalanced mind, or what is usually called "lack of good, common sense." Mr. Seovillo then took witness over tho ground abjnit which he questioned Sir. Blaine, namely, (he troublo in tho Republican party. Mr. Htorrs said his faith in ..no rank and file of tho Republican party was such that tho "troublo" would not have disrupted that party. Mr. Ed. Daniel, of Virginia, then testified to Guiteau's peculiar religious news, and the impression was that he was crazy; didn't thiuk much of that, as ho (witness) had been called insane. The names of Speaker Randall, Senator Bayard and President Arthur wero next called, but nono of theso witnesses appeared, and Mr. Seovillo, to savo time, read a number of newspaper slip? found on the prisoner at tho time 01 hi-? capture. Guitcau, who had remained quiet all tho morning, here broke out " That these extracts confirmed his inspiration." "It is said the Brooklyn Eaqlt used to publish about a column and a half each day in tho Bame strain," trak* in Guitcau, while Mr. Scorllo war jeacting an jntemow wnn oenerai urant jn tho Chicago Inter-Ocean, of Juno 12. The prisoner then fell back in his eeat, and, with his head resting on his left hand, listened attentively to tho reading. During the reading of an extract from the Christian Union, the prisoner said: " At that time Beecher was opposed to bo in favor of Garfiold." VicePrcsident David Davis was tho next witness. In answer to a question, he said ho did not belong to either party. Ho had general knowledge of tho political situation layt year, but did not go into the caucuses of either association. Ho could not say ho was acquainted with the trouble in tho Republican party last year; had not heard of tho disruption of the Republican party, and did not believe it would do disbanded until the Democratic party diod. Continuing, the witness said he did not believe the success of either party would imperil the republic. As tho witness loft tho Bland ho askod if thero weie any moro questions, and being answerod. In the negative, walked out with a puzzled air?Mr. Scoville saying that the object of his testimony would ftnnpRr in fhn urmimAnt Mr F, A stenographer of Colonel Corkhill, testified that he took the notes from which the Herald interview was published, and received $500 for It; was introduced to the prisoner by Colonel Corkhill a* a friond. Guiteau hero broke in: "You got the interview under false protense that you was a Herald reporter, or you would not liavo i got it." Ouiteau hero addressed the court and read a list of witnesses whom ho desired ] subpoenaed,as follows: President Arthur, Secra- j tary Blaine, Senators Logan, Conkling, Piatt, i Dorsey and Jones, of Nevada, Governor Jewell, < (Jpneral Grant, James Gordon Bennett, Whitslaw Keid, George Jones, Charles A. Dana, W. j IJ. Xiurlburt, George C. Gorbam, Stilscn Hutchins, W. P. Nixon, of the Chicago Inte'- ' Ocean, and files of his paper of Mcy and Jun 3. j The court, without intimating whether the wit- ! liceses would be subpronaed or not, told Mr. 8co- i ville to proceed with his letters. < On the eighteenth day nubile intorest in the i trial was unabated, and the court-room wiie crowded notwithstanding it was the openiDg day of Congress. The following eight doctors, 1 who haro mado a study of mental diseases, ! were called bv the defense: Doctors J. G. ! Hienun, Charles II. Nichols, superintendent of the Bloomingdale (New York city) insane I asylum; Charles Folsom, of Boston ; Samuel 1 nr. - . W VJ anl^ira I IT UICL'DIU , \Ji 041CUJ, XUHOOi | |f? tit va\z4v*<Mg, j superintendent cf the government insane asylum at Washington; James H. McBride, of Milwaukee; Walter Clianning, of Erooklino, ilasa.; and Theodore W. Fisher, of Boston. A iiyi othetical question, in which the jpointa r relating to the prisoner's mental oondition as t set forth by the defense, including the insanity j iu his family, and his alleged belief thit ho v acted upon inspiration, were assumed to be i true, was read to the forogoia aud they were f a?l;e'l whether upon tho stato of tilings c they thought Guiteau was insane. 8cvon of o them replied that if tho propositions wero tntf i the man was insano. Dr. Worcester would nc< r txprcss nn opinion, becauso he wantiid a c tlearer explanation of tlio word inspiration thai a Ur. Scovillo gave him. Guiteau constantly \ I turfered in tho proceedings. He began by \ raying that he wanted tho experts to pass upo:i c the question whether when a man claims ho is $ impelled to do an ilk-gal act by a power beyond ii liiui he is sane or insane. lie showed & pretty j clear understanding of tbe testimony given, and o once pointed out how well it fitted his case. As g usual ho was sensitive on the question oJ' his i mental powers, and -was angry when ti a witness Bpoko discouragingly of his Gar- fi field spcech, declaring ho would rathor bo ti hanged as a Bcnsiblo man than acquitted r is a fool. Ho was also affended by a question p Implying that h'j was a vulgar criminal. Thero tvas nothing vulgar about this case, ho ex- y Maimed ; it was all high-toned. At tho erd of y site dav's proceedings. when Mr. Scovillo an- i; tiounccd that ho expected to have President ii Arthur as a witness, Guiteau insisted that ti joneral Grant, ex-Senators Conklingand Piatt, li fx-Govemor Jewell and others should bo called t to show what was the political situation before t! Ili? assassination. Ho also suggested that 1 President Arthur would do well to appoint a tmnry A. Storrs as attomey-goneral. a Tho first witness called for the defense or J the nineteenth day was Congressman Charles * B. Far well, of Chicago, who testified that he tl had had one or two interviews with Guit eau, J and regarded him as insane; but on cross-examination he eaid Guiteau could distinguish between right and wrong. After a short examination of George C. Gorham, editor of tho . Washington fiepublicar, during which c' uuiteau constantly and violently interrupt- .* cd and asked questions, at one tirao P saying that his counsel, Mr. Scoville, was "getting cranky on this business," the defense a closed, Mr. Scoville saying, however, that ho P. expected some testimony from President Arthur and Dr. Bpitzka. Mr. Scoville explained that i what he wanted to show by the President's tos- * timony was (hat in October last Guiteau wrote 9 him a letter on public business, and ho im- V plied that he regarded this letter as proof of ' the prisoner's insanity. It was arranged that ?! he should send written questions to tho Presi- J. dent. During the close of tho session a curious ' sceno occurred when Mr. Scoville proceeded to , read from Guitcau'sbook, "Truth." Mr.Scovillo said ho would have to read tho whole book, and ho was beginning to do so when tho prisoner called out to him: "Do not read it P like a schoolboy. Read it with somo spirit.'' ? Thereupon Mr. Scovillo proposed that tho , nriB raer himself should do tho reading, and lie proceeded to do so, with rather a poor effort at declamation and with occasional illustrative romarks, such as, " That is tho way that Paul got in his work." When a slight disturbance jj was caused by somo of tho spectators trying to get out. the prisoner commanded order and 0 Rood religious talk. It will do proplo good to 11 hear it read." After about thren-quartera of an ] ^ hour tpent in this way the district-attorney intervened, representing that IhiB was a was'to of ? the time of the court, and a9 iho result of a some discussion it was agree 1 that Mr. Scovillo fi should the next d&y mark tho portions of the r book to which he proposed to call the attention ? of the jury. ? Guiteau began proceedings on tho twentieth 1< day by declaring nimself dissatisfied with tho L development of tho facts relating to the politi- a cal situation, wherein lay tho gist of the allegod offonse, and he renewed his demand for ? tho testimony of Grant, Conkling, Piatt, * "and those kind of men." He announced D also his purpose to make the closing o spoecli for the dofense. No answer h&v- ? ing been received from the half-dozen ' questions submitted in writing to Presi- ? dent Arthur the couit said that the defense ' " " ' should hare the benefit of this te itimony when obtained. Gnitean disclaimod a wish to hrlng the President into court, expressing a high regard for him s.nd claiming the cndifc of having made him President. The pro^ccution called to the witness stand General W. T. Sherman, who identifitxl the letter that vas placed in his hands after the ehoothg written by Ouiteau, and ss.id that he suspiictcd at the time that there might bo i. conspiracy, but afterwards ho concluded that the shooting was the act of one man. Gniteau here thanked the general for jrotecting him with tho military, at which tho wirrior smiled grimly. Tho prosecution then put upon the witness stand ten citizens of Free jorf, 111., who testified to their intimato acquV tnnce with the assassin's father, and declared ti. belief in his pcricct sairity, which they never heard questioned until after July 2 last. Their names are Edward P. Barton, a lawyer; A. T. Grocn, a collector; G. W. Tandy, boot and shoe dealer; Dr. D. T. Buckiey, who had been tho family physician of Guiteau's father; 8. D. Atkins, "editor Froeport JtepuWcmr, J. S. Cochran, a lawyer; G. W. Oiler, a justice 01 mo peace; A. A. Babcock, a lawyer; State Senator 1). H. Sunderland, and Horace Turbos, capitalist. Wbilo ona of these witnesses was being examined, the prisoner took occasion to comment upon tho President's message, saying: "I am glad that General Arthur has rapped thoso miserable Mormons, and I hopo he will do it again. I want h: m to mako it a specialty of his administration to destroy Mormon ism. The message shows that he is a vory fino man in his admiuistration. I expect ho will give us the bos!; administration we have ever had. The message has tho truo ring to it." Gulteau came into court on the twenty-first day escorted in tho usual fashion-an officer walking in front, a second, one behind him, holding him by his left arm, under which there was a bundle of newspapers, and behind s'ill another officer. The day was more exciting than any recent day of tho trial, and the mass of evidence taken was exceedingly damaging to tbe defense. Tho fir&t witness called was Mrs. Julia M. Wilson, a cousin of the assassin, a daughter of tho Mrs. Julia Maynard whom the detenso had sought lo make* out insane. Mrs. Maynard was a sist<* of Luther W. Guitoau, tho assassin's father, and tho purpose of the defense was, of course, to show parallel cases of insanity in that generation oi the Guiteaub. Tho witness eulogized her mother wUli a nuieoriniT Vfiirp mid testified that she had Never seen tho slighte.it trace of llightiness in her conduct. In the course of her testimony Mrs. Wilson stated that h-jr father was insane before he died, and this kd to a ecene between the assassin and his brothor. John W. Guitcan rose, and addreeaing tho court aeked that the question and answer be stricken out as irrelevant. lie protested against having things o: this kind, not affecting any blood relation of tho prisoner, go out to tho world. Tho district attorney intimated that the testimony was valuable as showing that if Abby Maynard (one of tho two members of the Guitcau family who have been members of insane asylums) was insane, she proba jlv inherited insanity from her father. Mr. Seoville was now on his feet, angrily objecting to any interference by John W. Guiteau. '.'his fired tho assassin at once. " I think ho's a perfect nuisance," ho shouted, banging his fist on the table in frout of him, while his eyes gleamed hatefully. "He'd better go back to Boston. I haven't known anything about him for years. Ho just crawled into this caso, and ho's try ing to get a little notoriety out 01 mo. x never recognized him as a brother. He's not of counsel in this case awl don't know anything." Several other witnesses next gavo testimony tending to disprove tho plea of insanity. This displeased Guitcau, who accused some of the witnesses of bia^, and claimed that the testimony of others was irrelevant. President Arthur's reply to the written questions sont him by Mr. Scoville was read. Tho President said he had pocn Guiteau at least ten and perhaps twonty times, but had no conversation with him except to return the ordinary Balutations, and once or twico in answer to his request to be employed as a speaker by the Republican Slate committee, of which ho was chaii-man. Guiteau had never rendered any political services that the President knew of to tho Republican party in tho lasr, campaign. There was nothing in the prisoner's relation to himself or to General Grant or Senator Conkling or any other leader of tho Republican party, socially or politically, to gi ro him any ground for supposing ho would receivo polit-' ical preferment, and he had never giyen Guiteau any reason to think he could have any political or personal influence with him. The President added that in October last he received a letter from Guitcau, containing <ome claim to having rendered important t ei vices to the Republican party, and an appeal for tho postponement 01 nis inai. xio am 1101 preserve the letter. Tho Rev. Dr. Mc vrthur, of New York city, of whoso church Guiteau and his wife were members several years ago, deBcribed his acquaintance with tho assassin aud tho circumstances under which Guiteau was expelled from tho church. The prisoner alternately contiadicted this witness outright and addressed bim with an air of familiarity. The National Banks. The following facts regarding the national banks are from the annual report of Mr. Ktio;:, comptroller of tho currency: Eighty-six na- | tional banks were organized during tho yenr J ending November last, with an aggregate authorized capital of $9,051,050, to which $5,233,580 in circulating notes havo been issued.

At 12 o'clock noon Mr. Adams, clerk of tho last House of Representatives, rapped upon his desk, and began tho work of organizing that branch of tho Forty-seventh Congress by calling the roll. This was dono in tho presenco of an audionco which packed ovory one of tho galleries and tho corridors. After roll-call came the nominations for speaker. The Republicans nominated J. W.

Sight Scenes in a N'ew York Market Describing the famous Washington market a New York correspondent says: The regular market closes at 2 o'clock i in the afternoon, in order that tlio par- : ties may rest for the next day's traffic. The fctalls are placed in the care of a j watchman, each of whom serves a score j of employers and receives enough to j pay him $'20 per week. By dark the j entire market is deserted, hut toward i 10 o'clock signs of business reappear, j and by midnight the preparation is in j full force. Tlio market is ablaze with j gaslight. Here at tho wholesale meat ! stalls ono may see tho huge wagons ! loaded with quarters of beef, which are ! quickly hung up on appropriate hooks, j Each quarter is marked with its owner's j initials, and a commission of ten per cent, is charged. About 500 quarters Df beef are here sold daily. There, too, iro the long rows of slaughtered swine glistening in the gaslight like an array Df ghosts, while on either side carcasses of mutton stud the stalls. These are fresh from tbe flaughteraonses, and will bo gone before next lay at 12 o'clock. Five hundred mut;ons are an average daily business. Eere, too, nre long rows of swino hasets, which bring ten cents each, and ilso beef livers, which sell at twenty :ents. They are bought by sausage nakerii, and also by dealers in blood mddings, an article which finds 6ale in 'few York, though most of our readers vonld refrain from its use even at tho xpense of hunger. By 2 o'clock the sntire market, embracing four acres, is .stir, and the watchmen have gone lome to rest.

A PBETTY ROMANCE. , . . ^ J * How a Poor Girl Captured a Millionaire? A Story Often Told In New York Upper Tendom. A New York correspondent tells this story of how William H. Vanderbilt, the railroad magnate, won his wife : There is a very pretty romance about the marriage of William H. Vanderbilt, Jr., to Miss Alva Smith, the story of which is often told in upper tendom. The young lady and her sisters were attending school at Farmington, Mass., in Miss Porter's academy, whence Nellie Grant was expelled for insubordination. While at school Miss Smith suddenly received word that her father had made an unlucky \enture, that his i fortune had gone up in a balloon, and that she and her sister must at the end of the term, then near its close, go at once to the home of their grandmother in Virginia, thero to remain until their ' " 13 lamer COUIU SUIUUIUU mcui iwitu nguiu. i This was not suited at all to the tastes of a mademoiselle conscious of her own attractions, and she determined to make a venture for her own account. She borrowed some money from her teacher, and made an arrangement with her to go to Richfield Springs for a few weeks, so that when elie appeared there she had as a duonna a well-known instructress, and this piqued the curiosity of the young men about the resort. There was a coterie of New York girls there. A j Miss T?, daughter of a broker, a Miss 0?, daughter of a rich brewer, and | several others, who knew of the misfortune of the Smiths, and who also tried to make it appear that the young Miss Smith no longer deserved a place in the ranks of the nouveau riche, as her father liad "gone up." Mr. William Vanderbilt, Jr., came up to the Springs to attend a ball, and the New York girls were all in a flutter, because each one desired to capture the son of the great millionaire. Miss Smith took in the situation at a ghnce, but she had nothing to wear, and she had only $40 in her purse. She proposes to Miss T? to buy a dress, and Miss T?, having a big stock of dresses and a small amount of pin-money, was ready to oblige her. She wasn't, however, inclined to part with anything that would be becoming to Miss Smith, and accordingly she selected a yellow silk with a wine-spot in front, and offered to sell that for Miss Smith's forty dollars,being assured that Miss Smith, being more of a blonde than a brunette, would look ?< Vinrriil " in -collnw Rnf. MifiH Smith paid the price, and the fair dealer in second-hand clo' chuckled over the bargain she made. Her pleasure was turned to chagrin that evening when Miss Smith appeared npon the ballroom floor a queen of beauty, and in that yellow silk, too. Instead of putting white upon her face, she had made her complexion brown, and having borrowed a lace mantilla from her teacher and a big black fan, she came out the picture of a bewitching senorita. Her coy glances shot into the Vanderbilt heart. Sho tossed the soft ends of the mantilla over her shoulder, as she strolled the piazza, and used that fan most bewitchingly. The New York girls stood aghast, and Miss T. shed a tear over the loss of her yellow silk, and felt that she had been cheated, for she never thought that ?he dress looked so well. The result was that Vanderbilt fell desperately in love, pressed his suit, became all the more ardt nt because of the lady's stuilied hesitancy, and was tbo happiest young millionaire anywhere when he gained a kiss and the privilege of putting on the finger of the senorita a diamond engagement ring. Mrs. Yanderbilt at once visited Richfield Springs, was charmed by her prospective daughter-in-law, and invited her to spend the summer with her. The smart young girl, however, pleaded that she had a dear, sweet grandmama in Virginia to whom bIio owed a duty visit, and sho said she must go there first. Thither she went, and taking an account of stock, improved her wardrobe as a smart girl with a little money only can, and then she accepted the* invitation of her prospective mother-inlaw. She confided to her the story of the bitterness of tho fashionable New I York girls who were so anxious to got her expected husband, and the result was that the mother had her prido touched, and she at once cut thoT'sand 0*8, much to the consternation of the families aforesaid. Well, all went well. The millionaire married the pretty girl of the yellow silk dress and the black laco mantilla, and they are now living happily upon th? avenue. "Dma(aboaw Hircn in on ovfinlA J.
