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

" 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."

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. Ho built j
galleys of cedar, covered with jewelry, I
and largo enough to contain vines and j

along the coast. The stable of his
favorite horse, which he talked of
cumin*? Consul, was of marble, the
trough of ivory, the harness of purple, i
and the collar of pearls. 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. I
What he not only desired bat achieved j
in the way of cruelty and vice would j
bo declared incredible if Roman ,
history had not already shown J
what revolting atrocities may be ;
conceived by a diseased imagi- ;
nation and executed by irresponsible j
power. 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. The mules were :
Bhod with silver, the muleteers clothcd j
with the finest wool, and the attendants i
wore bracelets and necklaces of gold. !

of figuring in the circus as a charioteer
and in the theater as a singer and actor, j
He prided himself on being an artist, '
and when bis possible deposition was
hinted to him he said that artists could '
never l.e in want. Tliero was not a j
vice to which he was not given, nor a j
crime which he did not commit. Yet !
the world, exclaims Suetonioas, en- j
dured this monster for fourteen years; j
and he was popular with the multitude, j
who were dazzled by his magnificence I
and mistook his senseless profusion for
liberality. Ou the anniversary of his
death, daring many years, they crowded
to cover his tomb with flowers.
The utmost excess in gluttony was j
reached by Vitellus, who pave fi-abts at :

of the empire under contribution to j

tained livers of mullet, brains of pheas j
ants and peacocks, tonguos of flaciin- j

" 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," !
"flushes," "a full house," " four of a !
kind" and catching her breath, vouchsafj
the statement that "straights don't ]
count," would have done credit to
General Schenck.
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." One devotee modestly |
proclaimed herself to bo " way ahead of j
the game," and asserted that she had '
no end of handkerchiefs, gloves and |
perfumery, the result of her good judg- j

FOR THE LADIES.
A Beauty Factorv.
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,

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.

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.

How to Make a Man Mad.
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

A Japanese Hotel.
In imagiuing a Japanese hotel, good
reader, please dismiss architectural
ideas derived from tho Continental or
Fifth Avenue. Otir hotels in Japan,
outwardly, at least, are wooden structures,
two stories high, often but one.
Their roofs are usually thatched, though j
the city caravansaries are tiled. They ,

floor, and about six feet from the sill or
threshold rises a platform about a foot
high, upon which may be seen the
proprietor seated on his heels j
busy with his account books. If it is j
winter, ho is engaged in that absorbing :
occupation of all Japanese tradesmen at j
thut time of year, warming his hands j
over a charcoal firo in a low brazier. |
The kitchen is usually just next to the '
front room, often separated from the !
street by only a latticed partition. Id ;
evolviDg a Japanese kitchon out of his j
or her imagination the reader must cast j
away tho rising conception of Bridget's j
realm. 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

A Tramp's Philosophy.
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 !
I eann-1 be a lord I should not lament [
at being a vagrant. 15e truthful aid
outspoken?that is, toll 'em you are a j
Chicago lire sufferer. Ktep seasonable ,
hours or some other vags will get your :
plank first, Be hopeful, cheerful and
good-natured. Growling won't cure a \
sore heel."

TRIAL OF GUITEAU.
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. By Mr. Rollins, for tho organization of ,
tho Territory of Oklohama. By Mr. Butler, for
tho creation of a body of parliamentary attor- j
nnvR. Bv Mr. Voorhcos. granting pensions to :
prisoners of war. By Mr. Logan, to appro- i
pri ito and expend tho outiro income derived j
from tho internal revonuo taxes on tho manu- |
facturo and salo of distilled spirits for tho edu- .
cation of all tho children living in tho United j
States. It provides that tho national school (
fund thus creatod shall bo distributed auifiiig (
tho several States and Territories pro rata, hc- 1
cording to the census statistics of illiteracy, but I
prohibits any Stato or Territory from receiving j
tho proposed benefits which does not provido j
by local enactment that all children between j
the ages of sovon and twolve years shall atteud
school at least six months in tho year....Mr. j
Sherman's bill, providing for tho issue of three I
per cent, bonds, was debated by Messrs. Sher- i
man, McPhereon, Beok and Bayard. 1
Mr. D&wA reported a bill to ratify the agreement
submitted by the Crow Indiana for the
sale of their reservation in Montana Territory
....Mr. Bayard reported, with the recommendation

the bill, and Mr. Morrill replied.
A bill to promote the efficienev of the !

Lace Paper.
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. Next in
order como Eugland, Spain, Italy,
Russia, Austria, etc. Tho material is
rather costly, and tho paper has to be
specially prepared by rubbing each
sheet on both sides with soap powder,
cr> tl>nw mnv pnsilv npnarate. Eii'ht
sheets fire put on the matrix, mid then
the work-girl beats with a small
hammer nntil the design is cut out.
Thirty blows ars necessary to cut teu
| square centimeters. Effort* have been
made to cut the paper with one stroke,
but they have been unsuccessful, and
the little lead hammers have to be retained.
The little boxes for fruits and
terrines, etc., are made, howevor, by
machinery, but only within the last
foar years, and as they aro fifty per
cent, cheaper a great many of them are
sold.

That the Coaatltntloa U Wrecked
By periodically recurring attacks of malaria,
if they are not arrested, is a fact too amplj
proven by the haggard looks, worn frames and
nervous debility of those who have felt the
malign influence for any length of time, to admit
of reasonable doubt. To temporize with
the disease is to incur physical evils, soon felt
and very serious. The pleasant and eaf<
specific, Ho-tetter'a Stomach Bitters, roots out
the disease and prevents its return, and is also <
a curativo for tho debilitating effects of dys- I
pepsia, as well as for irregularity of the bowels
and kidneys, and for rheumatism. It restore*
diminished nervous energy, and is a general
appetizer and cheering corrective. Biliouf
symptoms are removed by it, and constipation,
flatulence, heartburn and other indicia of s
derangemeut of the organs of assimilation and
secretion, are overcome by it, with their cause.
Convincing and abundant testimony establishes
tlio above facta.

obs'inate and severe diseases of tho throat and
lungs, coughs and bronchial affections. By
virtue of its wonderfol alterative properties it
cleanses and enriches the blood, cures pimples,
blotches and eruptions, and causes even great
eating ulcers to heal.
