" Are you goiDg out, Ellen?" asked Mrs. Vivian, as her daughter entered the room, equipped for a walk. "Yes, mother dear, I am going down to meet papa. He sa^d he should return by the Park stream." She closed the door as slie spoke. Mr. Vivian, his wife, and his daughter, Ellen, had ccme northward so that he might eDjoy a little fishing, of which he was extremely fond. He had very fortunately hired a portion of a stream which ran through the grounds of a certain Mr. Eothay, a wealthy London man, who, having met Mr. Vivian on a committee when the latter was a member for a Western borough, had now claimed acquaintance and placed the preserved fish in his demesne at Mr. ilimncoi On nnrtionlar T IV ittil o W10J/W??? vu vmw .? morning Ellen had arranged to rnret hor father in the grounds of Ben Ljdding, so she had set ont, as we have seen. Ellen Vivian was scarcely nineteen, quick-witted, daring and imaginative. A bright, honest, but not exactly a pretty face was lighted up by a pair of gray eyes, alas I rather short-sighted, which looked at you with a trustful expression. Entering the park gates boldly she followed tho noi-too-well marked path along the stream, intent only upon joining her father. The park was perfectly silent, save for the rippling murmur of the river and the twittering of the birds in the bushes which overhung the deep pools?the home of many a lusty trout. Ellen paused more than i- ?t i UUt'e IU IWIk UUUUL i:u, JUi n xtu ait ut.i bravery sbe was apt to teel l-ervous at times; and her pet terror, I must confess, was a cow. That cows were useful nnimals Miss Vivian would not have denied, but why they should look at her so and "moo" in such a very savage manner she could not divine. She had not gone very far along the bank cf the stream when as she turned a corner she perceived something right in her path. W hat could it be? She paused and endeavored to make out the object. It was not moving; she would approach, she thought, and nnder cover of the brushwood try to see what it was. To return would never do. Supposo her father were awaiting her?suppose the figure were her father! This last idea decided her. She advanced; the "thing," whatever it was, moved, and then an unmistakably English voice ?not her father's?called out: "Come along, my girl, I shan't eat yon. There is nothing to be afraid of." Bo it was not a cow, after all; it was only a man?a much less dangerous animal; and Ellen, though inwardly rather indignant at the free-and-easy tone of the speaker, recollected that her country costume and the imperfect view Ihe person inu&t have had of her appearance might excuse his want of courtesy. She therefore came forward quickly, her eyes fixed upon tie ground. As she approached she managed to Icon up, and tbrougli her dark lathes she made out a youug and apparently gocdlooking mm seated at his easel sketching the very pretty bit of landscape be fore him. The artist very politely arose and making way for her to pass said: "I trust I caused you no alarm. I perceived you hesitated to advance just now." Ellen looked up and met a very admiring gaze fixed upon her. She blushed and looked down as she replied: "I was a little frightened at first. I took you for a cow 1 I am rather short sighted. I beg your pardon." "T am tpit frlor? rr.ii oa vrm ? Q ?~ J w V, did; you did me a great faVor," he said. "How?"' Paid Ellen,' "I do l.ot understand." "I was enabled o put you into my picture. 1 8 now complete; no one can deny that I have been sketching the beau ies of Ben Lydding." Blushing at the compliment Elltn bowed and passed on. The young man j continued to follow with his eyes her j retreating figure, and as she disap- j peared he heaved a sigh and returned to j his work, but not to the landscape?that would not escape him?the impression made upon him by this wood-nymph I might,. So he addressed himself to producing a careful likeness of Ellen, and ! when the portraiture was complete ho j looked upon it with evident satisfaction. "I would give up mv chance of being hung on the line for an introduction to that charming girl. I wonder who she is? Something cut of the usual run of tourists, I expc ct. I wonder how she came here? I wish she would come back." But she didn'. "Walter Blakely waited fcr fnlJy half an hour, but Ellen did not reappear; so he reluctantly returned to luncheon at the Hall, where ho was ? twine for a few davs as the guest of young Eothay, his college chum. He had been struck by Ellen's jw. appearance more particularly because it seemed to him that he had met her somewhr-re before. We all know that ? *"- there are times when a novel scene presents itself to our mind as an old acquaintance; we seem to recognize the surroundings as if we had visited the >" place in a previous state of existence. That hill and tbat river appear to our eyes like old friends, although we are I conscious we have never visited the j ceighboiliood before. It was some such feeling as this that, now occupied Walter Blakely. He*' pondered long upon the subject, but; gave it up at last; and went out to meet tho post. Ho encountered tho letter carrier in the village, and received his packet of correspondence. He recognized one particular handwriting, and opened that envelope first. The letter contained an offer?an engagement as artist to an illustrated paper. Ho was to travel, to see new countries, and to send his sketches home. Would he undertake the journey for a year? Would he not? He did not hesitate a moment. He had no ties in London near enough to detain him. The short space accorded for preparation was amply sufficient lor mm. uo.' ui course lie would go; and he at once telegraphed his answer in the affirmative. But no sooner had he dispatched the irrevocable message than the thought occurred to him, how was he to finish his picture? Not the portrait of the fair unknown?thai was nothiDg?but the large pictnro at which he had been working lor ?ome weeks, intending to send it to the " Grosvenor," or per-1 chance to the Royal academy. He had hoped to finish this picture, and its title, already fixed in his mind, was " By Mcnnt, and Stream, and Sea." He had almost finished the first tableau, taken from an old experience of his own - the rescue of a young child from a crag whereon sho had descended and from which the child was nnablo to return. The picture was intended to represent the first dawn of affection in the heart of the rescuer. | The second was his meeting the girl, j now grown up, at a picnic; his declaration of love and acceptance. The third was to be the scene it a wreck, where he car ic* ashore the dead body of his betrothed, drowned on her way to a warmer climate i<y the wintry sea. Thesti id' as had presented themselves very vividly to Blakely, and as he walked homo he half-regretted his impulsive determination. How was ho to finish his pictures ? And yet, how could he give up certain employment? It would bo grasping at the shadow for the substance, and he reluctantly made up his mind to adhere to his new engagement. Ho sauntered thoughtfully homeward, and was about to enter the park astonishment perceived that the younger of the two was the beautiful girl he had that morning encountered. He raised his hat; the older lady acknowledged his courtesy by an inclination of the head, the younger took no notice of him at all; and he passed on to the house burning with curiosity to know who tho visitors were. But in this laudable endeavor he was foiled. It so happened that a certain Mrs. Claydon and her daughter had called at the same time as Mrs. Vivian and Ellen. The native servant had mixed tho people up, und when ycung Blakely inquired who the visitors were, the footman answered glibly enough: " Mrs. aud Miss Claydon, and?" "Thank you," leplied Blakely, not waiting for the conclusion of the sentence. "Claydon! I wonder what her Christian name is ? I'm sure I've met her before tc-day. What a fine young girl she is! I will make a point of getting introduced at the archeiy meeting to-morrow. I'm half in love already." It so happened that the next day and the day lollowing were wet. On the third day Blakely was obliged to return to London. But during these two wet days he had made great progress with his academy picture, as he called it. Wisely utilizing the material at hand, ho had improved upon his sketch of the stream in the park, and had painted the young and pretty Mies Claydon as the heroine of his romance. Tho young artist took a pride and delight in dwelling upon this portion of his picture. The girl returned again and again to his mind; he recalled every feature, and, as u writer will at last become quite attached to a character of his own creation, so Walter Blakely formed a romantic and altogether unreasonable affection for a young lady he had only j seen twice in his life. lie had already ascertained that Miss Claydon was rich, and of a "sweet disposition,'1 and, so ' far as Mrs. Hoi hay could tell, qu to , heart-whole. Love at trst sight is unj usual, but l>y no means so unusual as ' some people believe, and Blately had i worked himself up to a high pitch of devotion for the absent and wealthy beauty. He went to town and made his ar rargements; no worJiea Juara at dip picI ture and actually finished it. A month i after he left for the United States by j the line of steamers from Glasgow, j It was a tempestuous day, but the 1 well-found vessel eared very little for j the rolling seas that bore down upon ! her from the northwest. Still she 1 pitched sufficiently to render it coni venient for the ladies to remain below, I and as night wore on, and the Irish ! coast was looming on the bow, most of I the men retired to snatch a quiet night's | re6t under the shelter of the Derry j headlands. But alas, for the vanity of human I foresight I A thick fog came down as i the daylight begun to show itself in the ! east. The steamer made her way carefully toward the rugged coast. Suddenly a grinding noise was heard, and j ere any one could cry "Stop her J" a ! tremendous thump told the news that I i the fine ship had struck upon a sunken j j rock, while another and another shock, ! I succeeded by a rending of the timbers, I j awoke the affrighted passengers to all i j the horrors cf shipwreck. The poor emigrants forward were the | first on deck, and in a semi-clothed state they ran frantically about, mad with terror and the sense of helplessness. The captain and chief officer, cool as ever, tried, and not with success, to calm this seething mass of human beings as they rushed to the side. Holding them in check for a mo ment Dy mom iorce tne captain ordered out tho boats. The crew worked j J bravely, and discipline told. The boats I j were got out. Meantime the few cabin j i passengers had come on deck, and : ! stood huddled together on the poop. | The mm assisted in getting tho quarter j boats down, and then, all being ready, | the ladies were lifted in. The long, rolling swell made it a matter of some j difficulty to enter the boats alongside, but even this was successfnlly accom- j : plished. All danger was apparently over. Land was close at hand., when suddenly a 1 I skiff, pulling through tho semi-dark- ] j ness, came directly toward the gig in I ! which some of the cabin passengers I were seated. A warning cry came too j lati. Borne upon tho crest of a rising j wave the boat ceme on unmercifully. ! A ciasli, and in a moment the occu- j ! pants of the smaller boat were strug- ; ) filing in the waves. Blakely struck out, j j but Lad not proceeded many feet when j I he felt himself clutched by a despair- I j ing hand and almost pulled under water. : By a great effort he diaengaged him- j ..it ? >- j? ' seji, una aicer a struggle succeeaeu m ; | bringirg the drowning person safely to i the shore. A hundred ready hands soon I dragged them in, and the roaring water j hissed away in wrath, baulked of its j prey. Cheers and praises whioh ; I sounded strangely to his English ears j were all uuheeded. The da?n had re- j j vcaled to Blakely that the lady he had J rescued was Miss Claydon. He would . the day before have given his future to know that she was on board. He saw her safely bestowed, and then j. hurried off to assist the other passengers. No lives wore lost, all had come j safely ashore, but tho baggage was : lying in the stately ship now swept by : the rising waves, and incapable of pro- i ceeding, although not permanently ; crippled. Another Tassel was tele- | graphed for, and meantime the bag- j gage would be recovered if possible, j and every assistance was rendered to ; the passengers. Blakely believed his star was in the I ascendant. He had done a chivalrous j action. No further introduction was j necessary. He would call next day and | renew his acquaintance, and then, afterward?who could tell? But the next day he was unable to ! move; a severe bruise and sprain, which j in the excitement had been unnoticed, | kept him in bed fuming at his ill luck I Three days afterward when h9 inquired : at the hotel ho could discover no trac ' of MissClaydon; nor, on no less authority than tho purser's list of passen- j gers, had any one of the name, nor had ' any lady answering the description, 1 been entered as on board the ill-fated i ship. He succeeded in ascertaining that a : young lady had been received into the ! hotel on the morning of the wreck, but had gone awsv with a lady and gentleman in a carriage to a mansion in the neighborhood. A note had been left I for a gentleman who had rescued her, j and this note Blfkely at once asked to ! see. It was a warm and most grateful | tribute of thanks from the lady's j friends, and a postscript written by her, ; self showed how deeply indebted she j was to her preserver, and how anxious ; to thank him in person. Her address | was attached, and the signature was "E | Vivian." She had only como from Scot- I laud on a visit, and as a guest of the j owners cf the Steam Line. " Well, i could havo declared it was j my charming young friend of Ben Lyd- j ding," murmured Walter, as he folded the gnshing missive. " I can't go all that way to call; we sail to morrow. Just my luck I Ob, if she had only been the other I" So ho sat down and wrote a suitable reply, and then went on board a vessel which had been sent to take the passengers on. .Tn less than a fortnight he was in Now York. * , Winter passed,* spring came, and the end of April found Blakely again in London. His picture had been tendered to tbe academy and declined; ; then it had found its way to the kiudly portals of the " Grosvenor," and there the rejected " masterpiece" had found an appreciative welcome. Tho artist entered, and naturally sought his own work. As he approached it be met his old friends, Mrs. liydal and her (laughters, who all welcomed him joyfully " We had no idea you were '"n England, Mr. Blakely. When did you arrive ? We wero just udmiring your picture?how charming it is! We are all puzzled to kuow where you mfet Miss Vivian, and how you managed to obtain such an excelleut likeness?and such j subjects, too!' " Particularly as she says she has j never soon yon," continued Kalie Rydal. ' I assure you I have never seen the lady you name; but, Mrs. Eydal, if you wish to make me really happy, do introduce me to thut lady?Miss Claydon, 1 believe." He indicated as he spoke tho object of his hopes, who at that moment, apaprentlv oblivious of everything around her, was studying the painting 6he had such good reasons to recognize. " J\ir. Biakely, you cannot be serious. Tha?ja.Mi8S Vivian; she came with us. JSlkujjjdettr-cotne. Mr. Biakely." Waiter Blakely was almost incredulcsisjtmtii ho beard Ellen's name pro nounoed, and as he took her hand he said: " At last, Miss Vivian, I have the happiness of meeting and speaking to yon; and though we havo met iwice?" I " Three times," she said, as she frankly gave him her hand. "Don't you re- . member the child you picked up in Wales, I am afraid to say how long i ( ago ? I twice owe to you my life, Mr. j ' Blakely. How can I ever repay the 1 debt?" Walter murmured something which ' brought the swift blushes to her cheeks, | > but she did not seem displeased. i I " That picture must havo been a j ' true inspiration," he added. "We i i havo met?'By Mount, and Stream, ' and Sea.' May there not bo another j i meeting yet, Miss Vivian, and one that ] is destined to no parting on earth ?" j, TT*? dhaIio mnra tn lifmsftlf tlian to XJ.V D^UftU UiVIV WW her, and answered his half question , with a look so trusting tbat ho took her ] hand and pressed it as they stood. She did not withdraw it for a moment, j and then in a whisper he said: "May I hope?" This time there was no reply; but the I sweet silence gave consent, and there j was no need of words bet ween them. I A History of Coal. !, When it is considered how much the manufacturing interests of a country , and many of the comforts of life depend i ( upon coal, it becomes easy to undei- ( stand the anxiety evinced by political economists as to the results that may j follow the exhaustion of the supply of that material. From coal we derive the force which turns the mill, propels the steamboat, draws the railway train and performs a thousand other offices tending to economize time, lessen labor and increase and multiply oar enjoyments; and even a temporary stoppage of the supply would be one of the greatest calamities that could befall us at the present time.^ It is within a compara * ''?jn( uveiy recenr penuu m uic uioivi? w the country, however, that coal bus risen into importance. Its existence and combustible qualities were known in early times; but beyond being regarded as a curiosity, no attention seems to have bef-n paid to it, and up till about eix centuries ago no attempt, had been made to use it as a fuel. The earliest documents in which it is mentioned are, "The Saxon Chronicles of Peterborough," written in the year 852 Though the monks learned and appreciated the value of coal early, it does not seem to have found favor with the people generally until several centuries afterwaids. Wood and peat were the materials commonly used as fuel, and in houses of the wealthier classes charcoal was burned. It was only when wood began to get scarce, and as a consequence went up in price, that attention was turned to the "black stones," but such was theprejudice against them on account of the disagreeable smoke they gave out, that those who were disposed to give them a fair trial met with opposition on all hands. In the beginning of the fourteenth century the London brewers and smiths, finding the high price of wood pressing hardly upon their returns, resolved to ' " wCfVt AAnl 1 f I Illtl&U bULLiC CJLpCJ JUJUUio mm tvut) MUV immediately an outcry was raised against them by persons living near the breweries and forges, the ting was petitioned, and a law was passed prohibiting the burning of coal within the city. Those who had tried it, however, found the new fuel to be eo much superior to wood that they persisted in its use. But so determined were the government to suppress what was regarded as an intolerable nuisance that a law was passed making the burning of coal in London a capital offense; and ir is recorded that one man at least was executed under that law. It would appear that the ladies were most bitterly opposed to the use of coal for domestic purposes. They considered the i-moke to bs ruinous to their complexion.--, and would not att tend parties at houses in which the objectionable fuel was used. Some persons went the length of refusing to eafood of any kind t Lat had been cooked on a coal tire. In an account of Scotland given by Eneas Sylvius, who visited that ' country in the foxi) teenth century, it is i fctated that the poor people who begged at the church doors received for alms " pieces of stone, with which they went away quite contentedly." "This species of stone,' he adds, "whether with sulphur or whatever inflammable substance it may be impregnated, they burn in place of wood." "They aro bla^k stones," he says, "dipped out of the around, which are very good for firing, ami such is their | intolerable beat, that they retolve and j ' melt iron, and therefore are very profit- j able for smiths and Mich artificers as j deal with other metuls." The popular | 1 prejudice against coal, and the want of ! 1 appliances for digging it out of the earth, combined to prevent its coming 1 into general use as a substitute for wood ; and turf until about, the close of the 1 sixteenth century, wlu n it is recorded ? that "the use of coal beginneth to i grow from tho forge into the kitchen ] and halle." The first load of coal j brought into the city of Philadelphia ( was dumped into the street, tho carter , being unable either to sell or give it j away. In the early part of the last j century coal was suddenly raised into importance by the invention of the bteam engine, and since then it has been one of the most valuable agents i in the spreading of civilization, and in | , promoting the welfare of mankind. ? ?? roor isojs imo iiuyu uecvuc incidents.

As Guiteau was passing through the courtroom on his way to the dock on the thirtysixth day lio said to Mr. Scoville: " If you keep quiet I will laugh tho case out gf court today." Ho then broko out in his usual morning haranguo, saying: " Some of tho leading papers of America consider me tlio greatest follow thoy havo mot in some time. At 8 o'clock last night I received a telegram which I will read for the edification of tho court, the jury and tho American people: "Mr. Charles J. Guileau, Washington, D. C.: '"All Boston sympathizes with you. You ought to be President. " ' A Host of AromtEBS.' " I don't know but two men In America who want me hanged. One is Porter, becauee he expects to get $5,000 for it; the other is Corkliill. Corkhill is booked to be rennved anyway. Ho wants to get even with mo, because he thinks I am tho man that did it." Then after a Scriptural reference, tho assassin continued: "I refer my nomination for tho presidency to tho Republican National convention of 1884. I will do there. I do not tliink that this jury is going into tho hanging business in order to enablo Mr. Porter to get $5,000. Tho Amoricau people do not want to have mo hanged. They might as well try to hang a man for killing another during tho war as to hang mo. My motive was patriotic, u-ider Divino pressuro, to eavo tho nation from another war. But I am going to discuss that whon wo get to tho jury." The cross-oxamination of Dr. Kompster, of Wisconsin, who thought Guiteau was eano, was concluded, and Dr. John P. Gray, of Utica, medical superintendent of tho New York State Lunatic asylum, was then called as tho last witness for tho" prosecution. Ho was also of tho opinion that Guiteau was sane. There was, during tho day, a tilt between counsel on tho question of hastening tho end of tho trial. Mr. Scovillo said he would probably require all of next week to present his testimonoy in surrobuttal Ho also wanted to introduce some new witnesses, and would ask the court to allow him to do so on the ground of newly-discovered evidence. Tho counsel for tho prosecution said they would resist any attempt to reopen the case. Mr. Scoville complained that it was unfair for tho prosecution to try to hurry tho case along at tlua stage. Ho said he had spent a month and a half endeavoring not merely to save the prisoner's lifo. but to try the case so that it would not be a disgrace to' the jurisprudence of this coun'ry, and he objected to its being brought to an unseemly end. The question of allowing the jurors to separate during New Year's was discussed, but Judge Cox was hardly prepared to take tne responsibility of such a step. The foreman put an end to the discussion by announcing that the jurors did not want to separate until the trial closed. On the thirty-seventh day Dr. Gray, of the Utica Asylum for the Insane, resumed his testimony. It was frequently objected to by Mr. Scovillo, and continually interrupted by Guiteau, who contradicted assertions of the witness in regard to the prisoner's utterances. The witness became confused and said he did not know where h* was, whereupon Guiteau remarked, "We'll bavo to eond a small boy to find you." Dr. Gray declared nis positive conviction that Guiteau was sane, and had not been insane, and that ho was playing a part in court. Mr. (Scot illo tried to have the testimony stricken out, on tho ground that it was based upon a belief that Guiteau was lying. The court overruled the objection, and Guiteau remarked that tho question of jurisdiction was going to settio tho trial. In reply to the hypothetical questions of tho prosecution tho witness stated that, in his opinion, the prisoner was sane at tho time of the shooting. While tho questions were being read tho prisoner continually interrupted with such expressions as "False," " That's false," "Absolutely false." " Tho snbstratnm of that question is false," " One word in ien is true, tho rest false." While waiting for the counsel for the nrnnnimtinn to f>nter after recess the prisoner exclaimed: "I have nofcing else to do, sol might aa well write my autographs for anybody that wants them?without money, without price. If I could get $500 for them I wouldn't take it There is no money in that business for me?never has boeD, and I don't want that there should." Nothing of importauco to the defense was developed by the cross-examination of witness. Guiteau made his opening speech on the thirty-eighth day as follows: "I had a very happy Now Year's yesterday, and hope everybody else did. I had lots of visitors, hightoned, middle-toned and low-toned. That takes them all in, I believo. They expressed their opinions ireely, and nono of them want me hung. They all, without dissent, expressed the opinion that I shall be acquitted." Dr. Gray's cross-examination by the defense was concluded. Witness said that he did not believe in any of the so-called moral insanities. Kleptomania, he said, is theft, dypaomania is drunkenness, and pyromania is incendiarism, When Dr. Gray left the stand the district attorney announced that the testimony for the government was concluded. Dr. 8. P. Bowker, of Kansas City, testified for the defense that Mrs. Dunmire, the assassin's divorced wife, told him, after tho shooting of the President, that when sho obtained Tier divorce from Guiteau she feared ho might bo mentally deranged. This was in contradiction of a portion of Mrs. Dunmire's testimony at tho trial a few weeks ago. Guiteau's brother was called to testify concerning the letter tho prisoner recently wrofo to Don Cameron asking for money, but tho prosecution objected, and admitted that Guiteau wrote and sent the letter, and so tho witness was dismissed. Mr. Scoville wished to have the testimony of Clark Mills, tho eculptor who took a cant of Guiteau's head, but it was ruled out by :ho court. Sir. 8coville wanted to call somo witnosses whom the prosecution had subpeenaed and not used, and, pending his preparation of an affidavit to show what he wished to provo by new witnesses, the court adjourned. Guiteau was unusually quiet, and busied himself writing his name on cards handed up to him in the dock. Ho started to read a letter, which ho said was from a friend of General Garfield, showing the drift of public opinion on his case. Judge Cox sternly ordered him to keep quiet, and the marshal directed his men to stop him, but Guiteau succeeded in informing the jury that, according to the lotter, the harsh feeling wpi all toward the doctors now. The proceedings of tbe court on the thirty, ninth day were preceded by a remark from the prisoner to the effect that it was his usual time to make a speech, but that ho bad promised the marshal he wouidnot do so, and no would try to keep quiet. Mr. Scovillo thon read an affidavit to the court in Bnpport of a motion for leave to introduce additional evidence. Tho affidavit states that ainco tho case for the defonso was closed on December 15 ho had learned of tho existence of certain witnesses material for tbe defense on tho subject of insanity. TLev are H.D. Bragden, Marshal GreeD, James Brooks, Thomas Ilathbone, Katio Collins, Georgo W. McElfresh, M. A. Austin, Edward Austin and Dr. Andrew McFarland. By four of these witnesses ho expected to prove that in the month of Juno they frequently observed tho singular and strange condnct of the nr'soner, and were then convinced of bis infinity, and freely commented on the fact among themselves. He expected to provo by lia'hbono and Brooks that they had an intereiew with the prisoner in tho jail on the second or third of July, and that ho then said that ho had been forced to do tho act by an inspiration from God. Ho expected to prove by McEl fresh and M. A. Anstin that they rode with the prisoner to the jail on the second of July, and that all his actions nnd words were indici^e of an insane man. Ho oxpectcd to pro why Dr. McFarlaud, for thirty-seven years superintendent of the insane asylum at Jacksonville, 111., that he knew Luther W. Guiteati, the prisoner's lather, and had an opportunity for scientific observation of his mental condition in 1864, and that ho then came to the conclusion that Luther \V. Guiteau was insane on the subject of religion ; also, that from the circumstances and facts developed in evidence in the caso thus far Dr. McFarland is of opinion that tho prisoner is now insane. The affidavit further states that '.he affiant was misled by tho prosecution giving the namo of McElfresh as one of its witnesses and then not calling him ; otherwise ho would have been calloa for the dcfoiiHe. The court decided against tho application in general, permitting, however, tho defenso to attempt to fhow that, on the day of shooting President Garfield, tho assassin had claimed to bo inspired of God. J. J. Brooks, chief of the secret service of the treasury department, was called for this ptirooso, but ho swore that Guiteau had not mado such a claim to him. A letter written by the assassin's father in 1875, in which ho pronounced hia son a fit subject for a lunatic asylum, was read. Tho defenso was tbon declared closed. Tho law points of tha government were submitted to the court ' l ? .1 c? it I and an adjournment was uau iur iuiwmjo.u i iliable the defense to prepare Its law points. !

Despair is the offspring of fear, laziness and impatience. First the necessary, then the useful, then the ornamental. Error may be tolerated, if reason be left free to combat it. If we would have friends we must show ourselves friendly. It is a good thing to learn caution by the misfortune of others. We hand folks over to God's mercy, but. Bhow nono ourselves. Dispatch is the soul of business, and method the soul of dispatch. Self-inspection is the only means to nMsoiTfl ns frnm self-conceit. f Treat all with due respect, and none will think you the worse for it. No one need hope to rise above his present situation who suffers small things to pass by unimproved, or who neglects, metaphorically speaking, to pick up a penny because it is not a dollar. The bad and vicious may be boister- j ously gay and vulgarly humorous but seldom or never truly cheerful. Genuine cheerfulness is an almost certain in-' dex of a happy mind and a pure, good heart.
