?English Paper.
Walter Blakely's Masterpiece.
" 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.

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,

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

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

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.

Soar. interresting correspondence has been
made public concerning tho cp.so of General
Fitz John Porter, who in January, 1863, was
tried by com t marshal and sentenced " to be
cashiored and forovor disqualified from holding
any office ol trust or profit undor tho government
of tho United States.'1 In 1878 a board
of army officers made a thorough examination
in General Porter's case, and reportod to tho
President that General Porter wan guiltless ol
the charges preferred against him in 1863, and
that the findings and sentence of tho court
marshal should bo sot aside and the accused
officer bo restored to his rank in tho army
The correspondence now made public is a letter
from General Porter to Presidont Arthur, requesting
that action bo taken in
his case; also a letter from Genera]
Grant to tho Presidont in which tho general
says: "Attho request of General Fitz Johu
Porter, I have recently reviewed hia trial and |
tho testimony furnished be for) the Sehofield
court of inquiry held in" 187D, giviug to the
subject throe full days of careful reading and
consideration, and much thought in tho intervening
time. The reading of the wholo of this
record has thoroughly convinced mo that for
these nineteen years I have been doing a gallant
and efficient soldier a very great injustice
in thought and sometimes in speech. I feel
it incumbent upon mo now to do whatever lica
in my power to remove from him and from his
family tho stain upon his good name." Genera'
Grant thon asks the Frosidcnt to give perioral
Porter's case early consideration. Another
lotter is published from General Terry to General
Porter. In this letter Terry says ho
wronged Porter for many years and asks for
pardon. The charge upon which General Porter
W? s tried in 1863 was for neglecting to go
to General Popo's assistance at the second battle
of Bull Run.

ttUITEAU'S TRIAL.
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. !

Denominational Chareh Statistics.
The New York Observer says: We are
constantly receiving applications for
statistical information in regard to the
number of churches, ministers and
members of the various Christian denominations
in this country. To meet
this demand we have prepared the following
table as the result of extensive
correspondence. We believe it is more
complete and accurate than any statistics
that can be found elsewhere; and
we feel assured that the great amount
of labor required for its preparation
will be duly appreciated by a large class
of our readers to whom it wil-l prove interesting
and useful.
Several branches of the Methodist
church, including the Methodist
Episcopal church South, do not furnish
any list of churohes; and of these we
Ai 1 * A
give Omy me uurnuer ui llliuiouoio uuu
members. Some of the statistics of the
smaller denominations are estimates,
but are believed to be near the correct

WISE WORDS.
Apprehension of evil is often worse
than evil itself.
Defeat is a school in which truth always
grows strong.
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

We hand folks over to God's mercy,

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.
" Minnie" wants to know "who sets

the holidays and along into February?
we set that one "ourself." We don't
know who sets the others, as that is
the only one we are deeply interested
in just now.?Baicleye.

No Bonn that Science hu Conferred
Has been fraught with greater blesaingB than
that which has accrued to the innabitants of
malaria ridden portions of the United 8tates
and the tropics from the nse of Hoetettert
Stomach Bitters. The experience of many years
has but too clearly demonstrated the inefficiency
of quinine and other drugs to effectually
combat the progress of intermittent, congestive
and billons remittent ft vers, while on the
other hand it boa been no less clearly shown
that the uso of the Bitters, a medicine congenial
to tho frailest constitution, and derived
from purely botanic sources, affords a reliable
eafeguard aRain&t malarial diseases, and arresta
it when developed. For disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, for general dei'ility
and renal inactivity, it is also a most effiriont
remedy. Appetite "and sleep are improved by
it, it expels rheumatic humors from the blood
and enriches a circulation impoverished by
