.?, THE FAKH AM) HOUSEHOLD. Farm and (iarden Notpn. The richest of all animal manures is that made by cattle fed on oil cake. Tit for tat will not answer for a kicking cow. "Be gentle with the erring.' Sow salt early in the spring, and the more the ground is stirred afterward the better it will be. For turkey breeding select the very | best and largest, and feed well, particu- j larly in March and April. Heavy feeding of fowls just before butchery is detrimental to quality. Fowls should bo killed with empty orops. When trees are transplanted the roots are always more or less injnrtd; hence, it is best to cat back the tops to corre- j spond with the roots left. It wonld bo much better if horses were trained to walk fas^ rather than to irot and ruii. A farm?r needs good walking but. cares nothing for 2:10 trotting. ..t> \r? I " rifmeiiiuen, win mi. jui^uom, who invented the roadbed that goes by his name, " remember that if you keep atones out and water off you have a road." This is true of almost any location. If you would keep your breeding sows and joung pigs healthv hit them , never be without a mixturo of ashes, coal and chip dirt, a liberal supply of which should be placed in the cellar in the fall for future use. A gentleman who feeds corn meal with a view to secure the greatest quantity of milk tinds that to exceed three ! quarts a day to each cow, with what i good hay they neesi* decreases rather j than increases the quantity of milk. Celerv may t>e Oioacued and preserved j by packing the roots iu wet earth and j k'epiug in a cellar. Put earth five or six iuches thick in large boxes and make it very wet. Then pack the plants upright as close as they can stand. There will be growth enough to bleach | the whole. Tlio above method of course is not equal to the outdoor plan where the latter can bo well done. Onions reonire rich soil and clean ' culture. A mwly reclaimed swamp is I the best soil, jind the longer it is kept in onions the l etter tbey succeed. The seed is sown in drills niuo to twelve j inches apart, and thinned ont to three or four inelus in the rows. High . manuring is required, and, with j thoroughly jotted stable manure, superphosphate of lime is tho best arti- j ficial help. In handling fowls an expert says: ' If you catch a bird leaving its wings free a desperate struggle will ensue, i likely to injure exhibition plumage, or j to distract the broody hen from her 1 vocation. Approach the bird from be-; hind, placo loth hands H; ;.?ly and j quickly right over tho wing j nuts, then slip the right hand down and secure i the legs firmly. All fluttering will j thus be avoided, and the bird, held by tho legs, with the left baud under the ' breast, will not offer resistance. A farm can be stocked with sheep j cheaper than with any other animals j Sheep will come nearer to utilizing i everything which grows on the farm, j Less labor wi'l bo required for getting ' feed and stock together. The returns j will come in sooner and oftener than j with any farm stock except hogs. Less money is required for shelter and < fencing, and less labor is required in herdsng when outside pasturage is ac- \ cessible and preferred. And finally, a , handsome income on the investment j can be had without the salo of tho ani-; mals themselves. Tho poultry phould be fed meat scraps three or four times a week with . their other food, when, the ground j being frozen, there are neither worms nor insects for them to pick up about i the premises. Sometimes a beef's head j can be bought very cheaply from the batcher. It should bt* thoroughly j cracked, and, as long as it is not cold enough to freeze the meat, may bo left j in the vard for them to Dick at. If vou have tho convenience for cooking it i feed a little at a time and stir the water that it was cooked in thick with meal j and bran. Give tLis warm in the morning. " Waldo," suggesting convenient ; things for farmers to have around, says, j in the Ohio Farmer: "A box of iron ; bolts and washers of various sizes is of j great value. Buy a whole dollar's j worth of these at a time, and you will ! be surprised to see how large a stock 1 and how great an assortment it will j purchase: and I should cot wr.nder if j these bolts saved a trip to town and from a fourth to a half day's time of [ the team several tiroes before they are gone. You need some rainy day to rig up an old cupboard ia a corner of the ! barn or pome outbuilding in which to ! keep these bolts and two or three wrenches, and you should add to it a few open links, an extra open ring or j two, a good supply of leather strings ! and a few rivets. Of course you will I need tacfcn, brads, shingle nails, etc., in ' addition." Keclprs.

Crassui, when a candidate for the ! consulship, gave a feast of 10,000 tables, j to which all the citizens of Rome were | indiscriminately invited. Crosar, to j celebrate the funeral of a daughter, gave one of 22.000 tables, with accommoda | tion for three guests at each This entertainment was repeated and exceeded i for his triumpb. Ho brought together J more gladiators and wild beasts than were ever produced on any forim r occasion in an amphitheater, but his exhibitions of this kind were so completely outshone that it were a waste of time to dwell upon them. In a document annexed to his testament, Augustus states as a title to public gratitude that he had exhibited 8,000 gladiitors and brought more than 3,500 wild boasts to be killed in the circus. In the course o the festivities instituted by Titus to celebrate the opening of the Colosseum, 5,000 wild beasts were let loose and killed by the gladiators. The Emperor Probns collected for a single show 100 lions, 100 lionesses, 100 Libyan and 100 Syrian leopards, 300 bears and 600 gladiators. Having caused the circus to be planted with tr*ies to resemble a forest, he lot loose 1,000 ostriches, 1,000 stags, 1,000 does and 1,000 boars, to be hunted by the populace, who were to keep whatever they could catch or kill. The fiercer animals were encountered by the gladiators. It does not appear hov lung the show lasted. Tiberius, whose life at Capri was a disgrace to humau nature, was fonder of saving money than of spending it, and he left an immense sum in the treasury, which his successor, Caligula, j managed to dissipate in two years by i extravagance of the most senseless kind, i As if in rivalry of Cleopatra, he swal j lowed precious stones dissolved in j vinegar, and caused his guests to be i helped to gold (which they carried j away) instead of bread aud meat. One of his favorite amusements was shower { ing money among the populace from j the Basilica of Julius Ctesar.

The set of j emeralds and pearls worn by one of his | wives, Lollia Puuliii3, was valued at ! ?400,000 sterling. Tho principal extravagance of Clau- j dius was in public games. One of the j shows organized for him was a naval j combat on a lake, in which the galleys ! wero manned by 19,000 men. He was j fond of good cheer, and was in the | habit of inviting himself to the tables j of the rich. He camo on one occasion J with 600 persons in his train. It was to Nero that Tacitus applied j (he expression, incredibilium cupifor.

After the burning of the city : he ^ratified his taste, in entire disre- : Rard of the proprietors, in rebuilding I it. He at once appropriated a number ! of the sites and a large portion of j the public grounds for his new palace. Tho porticos, with their ranks of columns, were a mile long. The vestibule was large ; enough to contain the colossal statue of; him, in silver and gold, 120 feet high, j from which tbe colosseum got its 1 name. Tbe interior was gilded through- j out, andaiorned with ivory and mother- ' of-pearl. The ceilings of the dining- j rooms were formed of movable tablets ; of ivory, which shed flowers and per- j fumes on the company; tho principal ealoon had a dcme which, turning day and night, imitated the movements of j the terrestrial bodies. When this palace . was finished he exclaimed : *' At last I 1 am lodged like a man." His diadem : was valued at half a million. His j dresses, which h6 never wore twice, : were stiff with embroidery and gold. : He fished with purple lines and hooks ' of gold. He never traveled with less than a thousand carriages.

" Talk about gambling I" said a young man well known in society. "The gills of this dry are coming right along. I know five young ladies, three of them live on Prospect, one on Euclid, and the last on Clinton street, who can play just as hard games of poker, eieicise as good judgment inbettiDg on cards, and j understand the relative value of hands | precisely as well as any fivo young men X could name." " Are those the only ones you know of who wrestle with fortune V" "No. I know hundreds," replied the ! extravagant young man; "the ones I! mentioned are the best, the most scien-1 titic players." The reporter made inquiry, and j found that gambling is more or Jess 1 cultivated and practiced by the fair ones. The manner and freedom with ' which one beautiful little creature j reeled off column after column of j the rules and laws of poker, and 1 the values of ' pairs," " triplets," !

One young lady tocK occasion to explain that they do not call it gam- , bling, because the only game which ; prevails is one cpnt ante, and that the j only reason they use money is because j the game is so frightfully uninteresting unless there is a financial question, j however small, involved. It was ad- ' mittcd that penny ante frequently re- j suited in temporary embarrassment, the < informant herself knowing how it fee b | to "go broke."

The following extract from a New York letter is edifying: My con versa tion with the proprietress of the " beautifying establishment" was interrupted by a lady of uncertain age and pimpled skin, who remarked that, having arrived at the conclusion that it was a woman's duty to make the most of her looks, she had come to madam for assistance. " That's right!" said the madam, cheerily. " I can make you so good-looking your own husband won't know you." The lady's expression grew a trifle dubious at this, bxit tbe professor btsgan: "First, you must learn to smile frequently I notice your face is naturally grave. There is nothing men like so much as a smile, especially when it comes from a pretty mouth, and a mere soupcou of my lip-dew will make yours fresh and red, and by rubbing a little extra on tko middle of the lip ycu can obtain a positively voluptuous effect." "But my complexion?" interrupted the visitor, anxiously. "Oh, lean lix all that. Just lec me show you," and she seated the lady in front of a mirror, Trliinripd n;it. it of e.liainois skill. .. ~ v, ? X dipped it in a creamy liquid and polished oil' the lady s face; then she powdered it well, rubbed some rouge on the faded cheeks, tinted the lips, penciled the brows and, presto! there was another woman. On the stage she would have looked very well, but near to the cosmetics j could not conceal cither themRelvcs, | the harsh outlines, the dim eyes or the lack of youth's roundness. The poor thing hardly knew whether to bo delighted or appalled, but whon the madam went into ecstacy and exclaimed, "Beautiful, beautiful; there could not be a greater success," she concluded to be delighted. "What do I owe you?" she asked. " Ten dollars for the makeup and materials which I will furnish you," and the woman, meekly as a lamb, handed over a gold piece and departed with a packet of powders and salves. Knohlon Jiotctt. Low corsages arc pointed. Kid bonnets are worn in Paris. New trains-are richly trimmed. Stylish ulsters are of green cloth. Lace sleeves are going out of style. Brides wear loose wri&ted gloves. Silvered tulle is used for ball dresses. Shrimp pink is much used for evening dresses. Crape puffs trim the neck and wrists of rich dresses. Necklaces of gold beads uro chosen by young ladi:-s. Young ladies abroad carry slender ebony canes with gold hf ad3. White and pale pink bonnets are most worn at receptions. Silk lace headed by satin shirrings is the favorite border for trains. Large bouquets of gloire de Dijon roses ornament white opera mull's. Embroidered India muslin ball dresses are worn over bright satin skirts with the Carmago waist of the same material of the skirt. Kid waists arc worn both in Paris and London now, and when kid gloves with long wrists are drawn over the eleeves Ihe effect is very funny. White nun's elotn, white Ursuline and white drap d'ete are made into charming evening dresses with silver fringe trimmings ( r bands uf white s Ik gimps and white chenille fringe. A new model for a cloak is tbe " Levite," a long clinging garment generally made of cashmere, vigogne or cloth. The front lappets are thrown back after the manner of soldiers' cloaks when marching. The wrap opens wide in the neck, revealing a cravat fastened with a pin like those worn by gentlemen. Width of skirt and fullness of drapery are now considered quito as essential to the stylish toilets of young misses as to their mammas. The long clinging princesso dress is almost abolished, and in its place are dressy robes covered with puffings, shirrings, tunics, paniers, frills rovers and immense bashes which are put ou in many different ways?a novel arrangement being to fasten "the center of the sash to the left shoulder with a fancy buckle or spray of flowers, bringing it dow^j across the back and chest to the right side, where it terminates in a tiny shirred kerchief pouch, underneath which are set short, broad ends of the sash ribbon. ______mmgmm Tlio Secret of Longevity. The meaus known so far of i)romoting longevity have been usually concentrated in short, pithy sayings, a>: "Keep your head cool aud your feet warm," "Work much and eat little," etc.; just as if the whole science of human life could be summed up aud brought out in a few words, while its greatest principles were kept out of sight. One of the best of these sayings is given by an Italian, in his one hundred and sixteenth year, who, being asked the means of his living so long, replied with that improvisation for which his country is remarkable: When hungry, of" the best I eat, And dry and warm I keep my feet; I screen my head from sun aud rain, Aud lot few cares) perplex my brain. The following is about the best theory . of the matter. Every man is born j with a certain stock of vitality, which ' stock cannot be increased but may be ! husbanded. With this stock he may ' live fast or slow, may live extensively or i intensively, may draw his little amount of life over a largo space, or narrow it into a concentrated one ; but when his i stock is exhausted lie Has no more. He I who lives extensively?who drinks ! pure water, avoids all inflammatory , diseases, exercises sufficienty, bni! not too laboriously, indulges : no exhausting passions, feeds on no ex- ; citing material, pursues no debilitating : pleasures, avoids all laborious and pro tracted study, preserves an easy mind 1 and thus husbands his quantum of , vitality?will live considerably longer than lie otherwise would do, because he lives slow; while he, on the other hand, \ who lives intensively?who beverages himself on liquors and wines, exposes himself to inflammatory diseases, or causes that produce them, labors be- j youd his strength, visits exciting scenes and indulges exhausting passions, lives on simulating aud highly aeasoned ; food?is always debilitated by his pleasures. How Nutmegs Grow. Nutmegs grow on little trees which j look like pear trees, and are generally ; not over twenty feet high. The flowers j are very much like tho lily of the ! valley. They aro pale and very fra- j giant. The nutmeg is tho seed of tho i ftuit, and mace is the thin covering I over the seed. Tho fruit is about as : large as a peach. When ripe it breaks j open and shows a little nut inside. The trees grow en the islands of Asia j aud tropical America. They bear fruit j for seventy or eighty years, having ripe fruit upon them all I he seasons. A line tree in Jamaica has over 4,000 ! nutmegs on it every year. The Dutch i used to have all this nutmeg trade, as j they owned the Bauda islands, and conquered all the other traders and destroyed the trees. To keep the price up they once burned three piles of j nutoiegs each of which was as big as a j church. Nature did not sympathize with euch meanness. The nutmeg i pigeon, found in all the Indian Islands, j did for t,no world what the L>utch had j determined should not be done?carried those nuts, which are their food, into tho surrounding countries, and trees grew again and tho world had the benefit. Fourteen Great Mistakes. It is a great mistake to set up our j own standard of right aud wrong and judge people accordingly. It is a great j mistake to measure the enjoyment of! others by our own; to expect uniformity /-?f ,-?r> in f In* a wnrlrl* fo lnnlr fnr judgment and experience in youth; to endeavor to mold all dispositions alike; not to yield to immaterial trifles; to j look for perfection in our own actions; to worry ourselves and others with what cannot be remedied; not to alleviate all that needs alleviation, as far as it lies , in our power; not to make allowances for the infirmities of others; to consider , everything impossible which we cannot j perform; to believe only what onr finite j minds can grasp; to expect to be able | to understand everything. The greatest of all mistakes is to live only j for time, when any moment may launch ; as into eternity.

There never have been more thin three men who have cared a snap what the papers said abont them. We recall i to mind a New Hampshire man who said he hadn't the least interest in any- J thing of the sort And when he heard tbat a certain weekly had spoken of him as a prominent citizen, he drove seventeen miles in a ponring rain and over a muddy road to get a copy of that paper, because he wanted to see the market reports in it. We have had that little transaction in mind for some time, and it suggested to us a racket which we have worked with great success. Wo select as a victim some man, ambitions of fame but who never has had the privilege of gazing upon his name in print more than two or three times in his life. We go to him and say: "Did you seo that item about you in the paper the othor day. Great skid, wasn't it ?" Immediately his face lights up. He is all interest. There is an eager look in his eye. "No," he says, "I didn't see it. Didn't know of it! When was it ? What paper was it iD ? What did it say?" And we reply: " Oh 1 hold on! One question at a time." "Well, what paper was it in?" he asks. He is breathlessly eager for an answer. The I reply, deliberately: "What paper'/! Well, we don't cxactly remember. Think it was ono of the city papers, bnt wouldn't bo certain. It may have been a suburban paper. Possibly it was a Western exchange." He looks gloomy, bnt hope springs eternal in tbe human breast. You think it was a city paper?" he asks. "Yes." "How loDgagodid it appear?" "Don't know exactly. Saw it only two or three days ago, but it might have been an old paper." "Well, what did it say?" ho asks, in desperation. "Ob,'it was a very pleasant little item " "Yes, but what ?iid it say ?" " Oh, we don't remember v.imt it Baid. Just remember seeing it." "\\hy didn't you save it for me?" j "Why, thought of course you'd see j it." "Well, I'll go and look over the J files of the city papers and see if I can ! find it." "Dear boy," wo say, "youil j hnd it much easier to find a needle in i it i-mn^io nf liav. Think of the inter- I minablo task of examining the tiles of sevon or eight daily papers for a month back." The utter hopelessness of his ever seeing that paragraph dawns upon him. His face assumes a look of abject misery, despair and baffled curiosity. When we meet him three days later heia just getting over the feeling of gloom and settling down to solid hatred of us for not saving the item for him.?Host on Post. A Japanese Hotel. In imagiuing a Japanese hotel, good reader, please dismiss architectural ideas derived from tho Continental or Fifth Avenue.

Blissful., indeed, is the thought | as we enter the Japanese hotel that i neither the typical servant girl nor the | American hotel clerk is to be found j litre. The landlord comes to meet us, falling on hi3 bands nnd knees, bows bis he:id to tbe floor. One or two of the pietty girls out of the bevy usually seen in the Japanese hotels comes to ussist us and take our traps. Welcomes, invitations and plenty of fun grec-t us as we sit down to take off our shoos, as all good Japanese do, and as those filthy foreigners don't, why tramp on the clean mats with muddo boots. We stand up unshed, and are led by tho laughing girls along the smooth corridors, across an arched bridge, which spans an open space in which is a rookery, garden and pond stocked with gold-fish, turtles and marine plants. The room which our fair guide chooses for us is at tho rear end of the house overlooking the grand scenery for which Kanorin is justly noted all over tho empire. Ninety-nine vallejs are said to be visible from the mountain top on which tho hotel is situated, nnd expect tbat multiplication by ten would scarcely be an exaggeration.

In the hip pocket of an old vagrant pulled in by the police the otber night was a memorandum book full of his own writing with pencil, and some of his philosophy is good enough to be preserved. His first paragraph reads: " Drinking bad whisky because it is offered free is like getting in the way of bullets purchased by an enemy." A second reads: " Honesty is the best policy, but j some folks are satisfied with second i best. It is hard to bo honest on an j empty stomach." I "A dry plank under a rain-proof shed | is better than a feather b. d in jail, and j one isn't annoyed by the jailer bringing | in a square breakfast." A fourth says: "Pay as you go. If you haven't any- | thing to pay with don't go. .Tf you are I forced to cro record everv indebtedness ; and let jour heirs settle bills." The fifth explains: " We should have charity for all. When the winter winds blow cold and drear we vaqs should pity the poor fel- ] lows in India who are having red hot weather." A sixth is recorded: " Politeness costs nothing, but it is : not expected that you will wako a man up at midnight to ask permission to go : through his hen-house. It is more : courteous to let him enjoy his needed ! repose." The seventh and last was noted down as follows: " When you pick up an apple core do , not find fault because it is not the apple : itself, but be satisfied with the grade i of desceut. Do not be ashamed of : your occupation. Wo cannot all be ; lords, nor can we all be vagrants. As !

Argument on the points of law was begun on tho fortieth day of the trial, Mr. Davidge ope n lug lor the prosecution. no spono in of tho rulo of legal insanity as laid down by tho judges of the Entclish bench in reply to interrogatories from tho houae of lords. Tha* rule, he contondod, had been adherod to in England and in this country over since. It required tho defense to show that the accused person was unable to distinguish between right and wrong, in ordor to establish bis insanity. Mr. Reed replied for tho defense, arguing in support of tho doctrine that irresponsibility may be inferred from the existence of insanity, and that the jury should be instructed to acquit upon a reasonable doubt of the sanity of the prisonor. Guiteau frequently interrupted Mr. David^c a remaiks, and when tho latter cited Judge Davij' charge in the Coleman case, in New Vork, he shouted that tho jury in that case returned a verdict against tho charge. He was very abusive, and ho announced that he would sottio tho question by a two hours' speech 11 the jury. Tho juiy were present during Mr. Davidno'a argument, but, wero absent during tho afternoon, when, the counsel fur tho defense were speaking. Mr. Scovillo, who followed Mr. Reed, commented upon this fact with anno biiteraefe, and tbero was a sharp colloquy between counsel' in regard to it. Duriug tho day Guitoau'a interruptions wore frequent, and ho interrupted counsel for the prosecution with: "I don't prctond to be any moro insane than you are. Transitory m -nia is all I claim," and he ran on in this way until Judge Porter's patience was exhausted. "I'our honor," said he, bitterly, "has heard tho prisoner long enough. I ask your honor now to hear tho lato Justice Curtis of the supreme court of tho Uuited States." Guitoan worked himself up into a rago here. "God will cuise I voir Drosecutincr men." said lie; "you aro try iDg to get a little lucre." From this poiut on his inteiTuption8 wero constant and annoyiug. Thore was no apparent diminution of public Interest when the court oponed its ninth week1 and forty-first day of the Guiteau trial. As usual the crowd filled every nook of the chilly room and the lAdiea were decidedly In the majority. The prisoner arrived at the courtbouso about half-past 9, and was taken to his waiting-room. He appeared rather nervona and hia oountenancs indicated anxiety. When he had taken his seat in the dock ho glanced around Btealthily over the audience and immadiately b"gan a harangue, evidently intended for tHo jun'. "I have received." he said, "some 800'letters, a great majority of them from ladies. When I get time I shall attend to thom. I want to send my greetings to the ladies of America and thank them for their sympathy. They don't want me to be hanged. Public opinion is fast changing. I received Saturday a check for $1,000 from the Stalwarts of Brooklyn, and another for $500 from the Stalwarts of Now York. I want this jury to understand how public opinion is on this case." A bailiff here tried to silence him, whan he tnrned upon bim in the most vicious manner and snarled out: " You koep quiet and mind your business Don't interfere with me when I am talking. If I v. i ,..|j you uau any reuse .vuu nuuiu uuucidiojiu ??u. place." Mr. Scoville then resumed iiia argument for the defense. He objected to the citation of the opinion on insanity expressed by Judge Davii in the Colt-man caao in Now York city, which he attributed to a desire on Judge Davis' part to pander to a reprehensible | feeling of revenge against Guiteau, which led him to travel out of the record. This led to a dispute between Mr. Porter and Mr. Scoville, in which the prisoner joined. Guiteau said tho Coleman case was not at all para lei to his case. The question of jurisdiction having beon touched upon by the defense, District Attorney Corkhill delivered an argument on that Bubject, and Mr. Davidge followed for the prosecution with a review of the law points. The lawyers were not in good humor, and once Judge Cox had to stop a personal dlaputo i'Ctween them. Mr. Scoville found fault because the counsel for the prosecution bow&l to the jury every day, and ho intimated that it was intended to have an improper effect upon them. On tho previous day Mr. Scoville complained because the jury, after listening to tho legal arguments for tho prosecution, were allowed to go out as soon as the arguments for tho defense wero begun. On tho forty-first day, howevor, this was reversed, tho jury listening to Mr. Scoville's argument during tho morning hours, and quitting court in tho aftornoon whon Colonel Corkhill and Mr. Davidgo spoke. Judgo Porter concluded the argument for the prosecution upon the law points on the fortysecond day of the trial. Ho took occasion, in closing the legal argument for the prosecution, to striko back at Mr. Scoville, wno had excited laughter by imitating and ridiculing Mr. Porter's stylo of talking. Judgo Porter called Guiteau Scoville's pupil, and several times turned stingingly upon the prisoner for his in | lerrupuona. umicau luiurrupiuu j uu^u jl ui twi frequently. He eaid that ho was ready to suffer the consequences of hia act, adding, "I think tlio Lord hae got it fixed so that the consequences will not bo very serious." Judge Cox then rendeied his decisons in the various prayers of the prosecution and the defense. He dccidcd that the jurisdiction of the court was complete. On the question of tho prisoner's responsibility ho Baid tho legal test was whether at the tirno he committed tho deed he knew the difference between right and wrong in respect to that particular act. He pointed out the sort of delusion that would relieve the prisonor of responsibility. It must be an inaano mental dolu-ion, which was not tho result of his own reasoning, but which took possession of hia mind independently of his will md reason, and deprived him of tho ability to distinguish between right and wrong as to that particular act. On the question whether tho prisoner should have the benefit of a reasonable doubt in tho minds of tho jurors as to his sanity, Judge Cox said he would not instruct the jury to acquit if they felt reasonable doubt about any ono fact in iesno, but ho would explain to them the lo^al presumptions of innocence and of sanity, and instruct | them that if, on tho whole evidence and in I consideration of both these presumptions tliey had a reasonable doubt of his guilt, ho is entitled to bo acquitted. Guiteau once or twice duriug tlio delivery of the decision expressed himself gratified with what the judge said, and at tho end he exclaimed: ' I am satisfied with the law as laid down by your honor." The first speech to the jury was made on tho forty-third day of the trial by Mr. Davidge, of counsel for the prosecution. Mr. Davidge roviowed the evidence, ridiculed the notion that Guiteau was or is insane, and won tho approval of tho Italian tragedian Rossi, who was a epcctator, by his quotations from Shakespeare. Guiteau followed him closoly, interrupted him frequently, and reiterated tho assertion that he has nevor claimed to bo insane since July 2. 5Ir. Davidgo arguod that the assassin's sanity was provod by tho consideration ho showed for Mre. Garfield when ho refrained from shooting hor husband at her side, by tho manner of his prepaiing for tho deed, by tho way ho executed it, and by tho measures ho ; took to secure his own safety, first from the mob and then from justice, by interposing the plea of insanity. There was an exciting sceno at the closo* of tho session, when the | lawyers were debating tho question whether | tho prisoner shall bo permitted to address tho j jury. Guiteau insisted upon his right to do | so, and declared he would not trust the best | man in America to closo his case for him. < .Tudgo Cox said ho had no objection to the I prisoner making a speech, provided he would j confine it to argument on tho facts and evi- I donee. District Attorney Corkhill asserted I | that the prisonor had no right to speak, I and strenuously objected to his being j permitted to leavo the dock. There was a tilt between the lawyers on this sub- | ject, and everybody got'oxcited. Guiteau : said in referenco to tho speech ho in | t<ndecl mailing: "Tho American people will | read tlie speech, and tliey aro greater than this : court and jury. Don't forget that, Sir. Court j and Mr. Jurymen I Tho American people aro trying this case, and will, Lihink, do me jus- ! ticc. Tho American people will get my speech. ] It reads like an oration of Cicero. It will go 1 thundering down The ages." This closing scene of tho day was characterized by conoid- i I era l>lo excitement on tho part of the counsel ! on both aides and by tho exhibition of great j passion on the part of iho prisoner. His sister, | Mrs. Scoville, also manifested a great deal of 1 emotion and wept hysterically. Many women ' gathered sympathetically around her. FORT Y-SE YEXTII CONGRESS. Senate. Tho resolution offered by Mr. Davis, of West j Virginia, relating to pension frauds, calling j for statements of their nature and character, ' what amount of arrears has been paid, etc., i came up on the calendar. Considerable discus- j sioa ensued upon an amendment offered by i Mr. Edmunds, Btriking out the direction to the ! secretary of tho interior to report his opinion upon such legislation as ho thought advisable, j Mr. Davis in tho course of tho dobato said that J the secretary had estimated that $liw ouu.uuu ) wonld be required for tltis year to pay tlio pension roll, and this estimate, he learned, had been increased by the commissioner to $120,000,000. Ho (Mr. Davis) had stated last year that tho arrears of pensions bill wonld cost the government a sum greater than tho national j debt, and the ttatement was laughod at. Pros- j cut indications seemed to justify the statement bo then ma'io. Mr. Logan, replying to Mr. Davis, taid that statements not based 011 accurate inl'ormatian shonld not bo allowed to go ! to tho country uncontradicted. The assertion that the ponsion arrearages would cost more than the national debt was certainly not basod , upon any leliable basis. Tho report of tho commissioner showed that with a ccrtain forco at his command tho arrears of pensions could ; bo paid in two years, and that aftor theso were ' paid tho roll would be reduced to forty, or not over fifty, millions. i Bills were introduced: By Mr. Ferry, to i grant additional pensions to thoso who have j lost an arm or log in the servico of tho United j States.

Lace paper is one of those tilings over which somo people can ilFord to be romantic. It is tho opposite oi j wrapping paper, at all events. However, here is what u Belgian paper has to say on the subject: Who of us has not admired those fino outlines and ; wondrous paper arabesques which ; cover the smallest box of confectionery, i and make the contents a hundred times ; more appetizing? A bouqaet with its j pretty collar of lace ; a casket with its ? ? * ---* 1 oaria 01 guipure, ur u uuc iuusi icg mutton with a goflered sleeve, nil seem : to take on a new charm?so true is it i that sometimes the manner in which an object is presented is better than the present itself. There are very few manufacturers of lace paper, and these j almost exclusively in Franco and Ger-1 many. It dates only within the last! fifteen years, like so many other articles of luxury. Confectioners and pastry cooks make, of course, great use of it, but butchers are now putting their choicest joiuts in lace paper. Then horticulturists, florists and cigar manufacturers employ it. A proof of tho ex-, tension of tho manufacture may be formed from the fact, that while net more than 100,000f. worth was turned out in Paris some thirty years ago, it is now sold to the yearly valua of from 600,000f. to 700,000f. It is exported all over tho world, but piincipaliy to North and South America.
