I can see the happy children As they wander tlirongh the grasses Of the fresh and dewy pastures, Of the tangle<l forest-passes; I can track them as they wander By the trail of morning-glories: I can read their happy footsteps?I can tell their pleasant stories. Oli, I know the piths of children Up the hills and down tho valleys; Buttercups and faded daisies Mark thrir sorties and their sallies : By the buttercups and beeches I ' an mark their resting places; And I know the mossy brook sides, And the wide, green, open spaces.

There tho trooping army wandersThere the routing party pushes. Oh, but they aro king1? and nobles As they wander there together; Cloth-of-gold is all the common To their feet in summer weather.

Ethelyn Abbott bus been spending the long summer afternoon in a pleasant desultory fashion, half tbo time reading the tastefully bound little volume which is now slipping from her delicate hand, have tho time, dreaming of?well, she could not tell exactly what she baa been dreaming of. Perhaps she has been dreaming over her delightful three weeks at Newport; perhaps last night's party Las engrossed lier thoughts. At all events thinking has been pleasant occupation, for her face is very bright and unelondcJ. What a charming picture of "delcc far niente" she makes,lying back lnxnriantly in a hammock, her beautiful head pillowed 011 soft, white arms, and her hair, of tbat rich shade of chestnutbrown, shininpr in the sunlight which slips in through th"1 thick fobnge of the crbor. Very charming, indeed, is she to a pair of dark eves, which, like sunbeams, are peeping at her through the j same medium. " Ethel!" Miss Abbott gives a little startled ciy j as the owner of the eyes?a tall, wellbuilt fellow of twenty-four or five? i comes quickly into the arbor. "Jack ! how you frightened me!" "Did I?' says tho intruder, peni-! tently; "I am so sorry. The fact is, j Mrs. Abbott told me you were here,and : I really was so anxious to see you?" " Very kind of you," nmrr;:t:rs Miss j Abbott, politely. But something in her tone teems io have a chilling effect; for .Tack reddens slightly, and there is j i little pause. "You wished to sc?e rnc?" pays the youug lady at leugth, turning with i polite interrogation to the other. "You migbt naturally suppose so, I as I came hero to find yon," is the an- i swer, delivered with a repressed energy i which commands attention. Then, with an abrupt change of manner:; "Ethel, what is the matter ? Why are ! you eo cold V "I am very warm," sigLs Miss Ab- i bott, trying to be funny, by way of , ovading the question. Her effort is rendered a lamentable failure, how- | ever, by an emphatic "Pshaw!" which escapes with more vigor than courtesy The young man rises and comes to ~ the side of tie hammock, looking down upon its burden with eyes which are very expressive. "Don*t triile with me, Ethel," he corra in a lr.tr vni/>o Tuliipll ip. inst. f})A least unsteady, as if the speaker were suppressing u good deal of emotion. "You know perfectly well why I came here to-day." Miss Abbott loohs np with an air of great surprise?only for a moment, however, for with all Lev faults she is not one whit untruthful. Then her eyes drop hastily. "Well," she says, with a quick catching of her breath, "what if I do ?" There i3 another pause, while the dark eyes grow darker with mingled sadness and, it must bo confessed, indignation, while the tremor of voice is more marked, as Jack speaks: " What of it? Only this: The Aretio expedition expects to leave port to morrow, ana l go wnn u or not, as ycu lid me. You kuow well enough that I bove yon, Ethel?surely I need not tell you tuat again." "It is of no use," says Miss Ethel, after a moment's silence, with a litiio plaintive laugh. "No, .Tack, we are both too poor; and. though I don't like to confess it, I am too mercenary." There, ie no reply, though Mi?B Abbott pauses for cue; the dark ?yes rest upon her with an intensity whbh is not pleasant, and the young man's prasp on the hammock tightens involuntarily. She gees cn hastily: | "I know it does not sound well, but I it is true. I want so many things? j diamonds and horses and Worth cos- | tomes?in shoit, everything money can j buy." Certainly, Miss Abbott's confession j is not very pretty, though the Hash i * ?i?- T 1 * l 'J wmcu ioiiuws n j-s. ? , " So you prefer marrying an income to marnicp: a tr.au," h the only com- I ment vouchsafed by Ler auditor. " Heaven forgive you, Ethel, if you ' mean what you say !" The hand on the I hammock is removed with a suddenness i "whioh cause3 the latter to sway violent- I ly; and Miss Abbott unreasonably loses her temper. "I think you foreet yourself, Mr. t" (. Lindsay," she say a. haughtily. "Pray,1 - " be more careful." - \ "I beg your pardon," is the stiffly polite rejoinder; and the offender ex* * tends his hand to assist the young lady i to descend. She takes it with averted \ oyes, aDd steps to the ground, drawing it quickly away a moment after. " Good-bye.v ; She has turned to leave ii.<> arbor1 when the words ate spoken "Good-bye," she says ooldly. Strange- i ly enough '.she cannot muster courage j to raise her eyes to his. The hand she give3 is imprisoned tightly. "Won't you wish me bon voyage," 6ays the youaf* man, with a faint ut temps ac a smiie. "Wo never know what a day may bring forth," she snys, uttering'a very solemn truth with a very commoii lightness. " StiiJ, if yon desire it? bon voyage." An nncomfortablo silence ? theu, ' Good-bye," and Ethel is free to resume her reading, while the sound of rapid footsteps dic3 away in the distance. She doo3 not avail herself of the opportunity, however, but sits motionless on the little rustic bench, a rather in-; explicable expression in her deep blue eyes. Suddenly she rises with u ge*tnre of impatience. v- "Absurd 1" This little outburst of vehemenco seems to relieve her, and she proceeds to gather her parasol and the neglectfd novel, turns from the arbor and walks rapidly toward the house. It is a pret ty little villa, ratuer addicted to vines and climbing roses, with a broad, inviting veranda?the very place for a comfortable performance of that charming drama, "Love in a Cottage." And this drama is now in progress, the dramatis personre being Martin Abbott, the goodnatured older brother of pretty Mies Ethelvn, and his sweet little wife, who, having married for love, is delighted with the experiment. She it is who, at the si>rbt of her sister-in-law, comes quickly forvard to meet hei. "Ethel," she says, as she reaches her aide, "Jack has just left." Then r.ctic- 1 ing a little frown gathering on tho \ brow of her hearer, she adds, timidly: "Did you see iiim, dear?" "Yes, I did," is the short, unsatisfactory reply. And with a brightened manner Miss Abbott steps forward to greet the tall, distinguished individual who has followed her sister at a more leisurely pace. " Colonel Arnhold, I am very glad to see you " "Thank you," says the gentleman thus addressed, bending low over the small hand which is bo readily extended. "I have been waiting some little time for you. Mrs. Abbott said jou ; were somewhere on the place, and ohe has been kindly entertaining me." Ethel glances furtively at her sister, j who stands ia the fall light of the setting sua. The little woman responds by ft decided blush, and Miss Abbott is annoyed. " So yon were not gallant enongh to come and find mo 1" she says, with an arch smile, intended quite as mnch for her sister's discomfiture as for Colonel Arnhcld's inthrallmeut; and she succeeds iu both endeavors. The trio stroll toward the house. Ethel is in one of hcv brightest moods, and makes herself very entertaining. Certainly sho has a golden opportunity for so doing. Colonel Amliold's admiration is an emphatic compliment. Besides being very rich and very aristocratic, he is a connoisseur?his artistic criticisms are very valuable; his horses are marvels of beauty and swiftness; the Arnhold diamonds are superb; and fourthly, the woman he deigns to ad mire has her position firmly established ; as a belle. No wonder Ethelyn Abbott j is pleased with the marked attention which this aristocrat has shown her since her arrival at her brother's home. And is not she pleased ? Watch her as now that dinner ia over the little group of people is assembled in tho drawing-room. She has been singing at Colonel Amliold's request, and is turning from the piano, while he is begging for "one more song." "Sing 'Twickenham Ferry,'" suggests Ar?o A Imlillv "Tliof. is "MY. i Lindsay's favorite," she adds, turning ! in explanation to the colonel. "Mr. Lindsay?ah, yes. By-the-by, he is a very venturesome rider, I saw him dash down your avenue at quite a breakneck pace this evening," says Colonel Arnliold, politely replying; | and then he rums to the fair songstress, j , 'Tray let us have Mr. Lindsay's favor- I ite, Miss Ethel." To her sister's secret astonishment j Ethel complies, singing the charming little ballad in a ruamier which throws j the colonel into raptures -and even j Mrs. Abbott must perforce aeknowl- j edge the superiority of his delicately turned compliments over Jack's hearty j but inelegant comment?"Very jolly j song, that." She listens with eagerness to the ensuing remark which j Colonel ArDhold makes. " Does not this same Mr. Lindsay expect to sail with the Arctic expedi- [ tion ?" Poor little woman ! her heart sinks, i as, with an indifferent "I believe so," i Miss Abbott leaves the piano, and passes ! out into the veranda. She looks radiantly lovely, as she i pauses for one moment in the frame by i the open window. The gallant colonel I hastens to her side, and Mrs. Abbott ! hears his low request and her bright reply : "A v.alk? with pleasure. It is a; giorious night." And a faint ripple of | laughter is borne back on the breeze, I as the two cross the veranda and de scend to the lawn. The mellow light of a summer moon is slanting through the foliage of the ! trees which border the avenue. Ethel 1 is walking very slowly, and tlie conver- i sationis desultory and not very interesting to a third party. "I want to go to Italy this winter," the colonel is saying. "Ah. Miss | Ethelyn, what a delight it would be to take you through those wonderful gallerics of art?you who are such anadmirei of its beauties." And Ethel gives little assenting murmurs, while the colonel j continues in this strain and expatiates i on tho various attractions of Italy, ; which he does at great length?in fact, just a little longer than his listener can ! stand, lor her patience is not her greatest virtue. "You are an animated guide-book, j Colonel Arnhold." The colonel pauses oghast?only for 1 ono moment, however; lor of course j her speech was intended as a compli- j ment, though rather brusquely deliv- ' ered. "My dear young lady, you are most j kind," he says, with a bland smile; and ; then the conversation becomes ex ; tremely personal, they walk if possible more slowly ihan ever, and the ! colonel is speaking very earnestly. At length they pause under the shade of a wide-spreading elm, jnst where the ! avenue comes to an abrupt turn. The ! colonel is holding an unresisting hand, j " I will do all in my power to make j vnnr life n harmv one." he savs, and then silently awaits his answer. Ethelyn's head is bowed. Where is the "yes " which ebe fancied 3he was so ready to give ? Once she looks up as if, to speak, but the words fail her. As a second time she raises her head there is j a sudden interruption. Around the bend of the avenue come ; two men, slowly and silently. "Only laljprers," says the colonel, j reassuringly, as Ethel starts violently; \ but in another moment he. leaves her j side aud goes rapidly toward the in- i truders, while she watches him in a half-dazed manner. There are four men now on the broad path? walking with steady, slow foot- j steps?carrying something between j them. She presses forward with a j strange, inexplicable curiosity; but i Colonel Aruhohl is instantly at her j side. "Go back, my dear young lady," he ! says, imperatively, though his voice is j agitated and trembling " This is net j a sight for your eyes?poor .fellow? j thrown from his horse, they tell me? finite dead. I fear." The men are standing stii] for a moment, tliey have come ont of the shadow, and the moonlight is streaming down npon them in its fall radiance. j Ethel leans forward, she only sees a ; white, white face, terribly still and j qniet in the cle^r light?then a cry j rings from her, a cry lull of piin and ; bitterness, full of remorse which she ; feels is too late; and she is on her knees by the motionless figure, holding the ! cold lifeless hands, while the intense 1 nervous strain grows harder and harder ; to bear. She feels a firm touch laid on , hc-r shoulder, Colonel Arnhold's voieo : is in her ears?and then she knows nothing more. ****** Summer is over. October winds play i wildly with the brightly tinted leaves j which are falling rapidly. It is a typical autumn afternoon, the air fresh and cold, but quite clear and dry, and the ' sun shining brilliantly in the deep-blue , heavens. The arbor, though not nearly us inviiing as it has been, iR occupied : by two enterprising pedestrians, who are on their way borne from a brisk walk. One is a young gentleman who curries his left arm in a sling, though with this exception he seems in very good health and spirits. The second is a blooming ! damsel, who lias seated herself in the long-used hammock, and is busying herself with the rearrangement of the Kline afore-mentioned. " Ethel." Miss Ethel looks up to find a pair oi uark eyes watching her quizzically. " Ethel, ileal-, do you realize what a very triumphant incomo I represent "Nonsense," is ih? only answer vouchsafed, though it is accompanied by a brilliant blush No diamonds, 110 Worth costumes to sp?ai; of--it is positively heartrr1 tiding to see i; young woman sacrifice l:vrself in this manner." "Jack, do you wis); to make me seriously angry." " liy no means my dearest; hut Ethel, I thought that they were such insuperable objections to marrying a poor man ?" Mips Ethel bends lower over her work. "1 changed my mind," sht savs, softly. Mr. Lyndsay laughs heartily; then he stoops and kisses the little h.md which li# s on his arm?

Iu my recent transatlantic trip one of I the most interesting localities I visited ! was Bessbrook, in the north of Ireland, \ a celebrated linon manufactory. The product of its looms may be found all over the world, while every international exposition of industry has honored its contributions with tbo highest prizes and declarations of approval. The founder of this immense business is George Richardson, one of heaven's nobility, an unassuming Quaker or member of the Society of Frionds. From his youth George Richardson was brought up in tho linen trade, but i his present colossal establishment was ] commenced by him in the year 1854, j and it bus kept on growing and improv- l ing ever since, until it now gives em- j ployment to o.uuij nanae, pays oui : weekly $35,000 in wages, burns annually j 10,000 tons of coal, ami weavps into its i exquisite fabrics every year $1,000,000 ! worth of raw material. "With inexpressi- I ble astonishment and delight we ex- j amined some of these beautiful produc-1 tious, forgetting as we looked upon | them that they were articles of every- . day utility, and thinking of thom only j as works of art?flowers and ferns as j delicate and graceful as though they were scattered over the material into which they were woven. On one set of table linen a buffalo i hunt wps depicted with a3 much vigor | and accuracy as though it were drawn j on canvas. On another set, designed j for the Freneh market, the whole series ; of Fontaine's fables was most delight- ' fully portrajed. But what most of all i challenged onr admiration was a table- j cloth of immense proportions into which I the shuttle liad deftly wrought a mag- : nificent representation of Wm. Penn's ! contract with the American Indiana j Over the heads of the figures appeared, I woven in ornamental letters, this in- j e/mnfinn "Thp nnlv treniv never rati tied by on oath." Underneath, woven in a similar manner, appeared the com- ; pletion of the legend: "The od1v treaty ; that was never broken." "We suggested the presentation of this ! superb table-cloth to the State; of Penn- J sylvania. Having been disappointed in ; obtaining Penn's body for enshrinement i in their now city hall in Philadelphia, J such a gift might soothe the vexation j they felt at the refusal of the British I authorities to part with the relics of! the Quaker statesman. The proposal 1 was qtiite cordially entertained. I ex- i pect that some day the Keystone State will gratefully remember the obligation J she is under to a wandering Methodist j preacher for oue of her most beautiful ! specimens of nousenoiu gooas. We wandered through this immense | establishment, marked its lofty walls j of chiseled granite, the complete ar- , rangement of its several departments, I the skill aud accuracy with which every | detail of this vast business was carried j on, and learned tho power and value of intelligent organization us we never before perceived it. We looked into the faces of the men in charge of the various sections of the establishment aud read in their countenances a re- | pose of character, an expression of' sobriety and intelligence which plainly \ showed that they brought more to their 1 busiuess than mere mechanical skill? j that they knew how to servo God as j well as the corporations by which they j were employed. The operatives generally looked healthy and e jntentcd, and appeared to enjoy their work. Around this great establishment lies the beautiinl village of Bessbrook, inhabited mainly by the workers in the mills; its streets well laid out, wide and clean; fountiiins of the purest water gushing up in every square and at almost every corner; tasteful cottages built with brick and stone, of varied form and color; hardly a house without its patch of greensward and flower gareverv house occupied, and new blocks in course of erection, more elaborate and ornate than any of the earlier structures. We saw fine largo churches of the various leading denominations? Friends, Episcopalian?, Presbyterians, Methodists and Roman Catholics; elegant school buildings, and throngs ol children romping aronnd them; a nice library building and free reading room, i a well arranged dispensary and savings j bank. We are informed that the dispensary was supported br a light tax on the earnings of 6very employe, and this tax ! not only secured medicine and medical attendance, but also half pay for every invalid bi'knging to the firm so long as he was unable to work. The savings bank was well supported, some opera- | tives being depositors to the amount of j from SI,500 to 82,000. We saw one of j the largest dairies in tho land, where j milk and butter of the best quality are , famished to the villagers just at the j cost of production. Some things found j in profuse abundance in almost every I other locality are utterly lacking in Bessbrook?no idlers, no loafers, no policemen (while the country at largo is held at tho point of tho bayonet), no drunkards. All these are lacking because there are no rum shops. No rumseller or rumdrinker can find any place in Bessbrook; they are kept j out of it as strictly as a wolf is kept j from a sheepfold. And in this single fact we have the most obvious cause 01 its marvelous prosperity. Mr. Richard- i son is a strict teetotaler, aud all his as- i Bociates iu the business are men equally ! as zealous for the cause of total absti- j nence; aud tho law of local option ad- , ministered by them excludes every in- \ toxicant from their premises. What an amazing contrast this little | village presents to almost every other locality in the nation in whicli it is situ ated ! It is a healthy spot in the body I that is almost wholly covered with gan- j grene. Since about the time Bessbrook i came into existence. Jrelsnd has lost 4,000,000 of her inhabitants. Bess- i ( brook is the picture of thrift, beauty, | , prosperity and progress. ? Letter in ( Zion'ti Herald.

JrixiK Cox having refilled (initeau permission to speak before tho jury, the nssa-siu gave tho address that lie intended making to Mil-press for publication. In a letter which accompanies the address ho calls it "an historical document," desires that it be " sent broadcast to the Ameiican people" and says he n-ould not trust the be?t man in America to close his case. Tho address is iv long, rambling document, much of it having been hoard before in his testimony when lie appeared as a witness in his own behalf. The speech starts out with tlio declaration that be stands before the jury as a patriot, HiillVring in bonds for an act that was done for the good r.f the American people. Some rhetorical pas- J sages that it contains have appear?*! again and j again in his utterances in and out of court, j Ho reasserts that the Deity inspired him, pictures tho political situation at the timo, de- j dares that there have been several inter- j ferences by Providence in his behalf, and ! threatens dire things to the American peo- j pie if ho, as the representative of the j Deity, is injured. He tollu tho jury that it ic I - . , . .. ; .; 1 'j -+>* una+mty - * . ?ar? # 5 v 1 (heir business to aoquit; him and bo vindicate his inspiration. He claims he was insane when he shot tho President, and that as soon as it was done the prossuro on his mind was relieved. So rash an act, ho argues, could only have been tlie work of a madman. Tho assassin reitor- I fttes his blasphemies and expresses great satisfaction with the political results that havo followed his crime, which, lie says, go to prove his claim of Divine inspiration. Ho claims to he a patient hero, worthy to bo ranked with Washington and Lincoln,, and appeals with a proud confidence to tho jury for vindication and ireedom. A feature of the speech is the introduction of a number of letters sent to tho assassin by persous whoso names are not given, expressing admiration and sympathy for him. Ilis closing appeal to tho jury ernls with the statement that when tho President I was shot tho cabinet officers telegraphed to Europe tlif.t it was tho act of a madman, and ho thinks it will bo far better every way if it is i now oflicially decided that It was tlie act of a madman. Depredations upon the government timber lands in tho West have increased to sneh an extent that the secretary of the interior has addressed a communication to tho attorney-general, urging him to nso ell tho means in hipower to arrest and punish the offenders.

On the forty-fourth day Guiteau, a? soon aa J ho had been placed in the dock, mado his usual opening speech, ?s follows: "In justice to the court, to myself and to Sir. Davidgo I want to say that I was mistaken iu my remarks against him. I received a letter severely denouncing Mr Davidge, but on inquiry I find that Davidge is a high-toned Christian lawyer, and I withdraw any injurious remarks I mado against him. I still maintain my opinion of Corkhill. I am told that I am right about Corkhill and wrong about Davidge." Mr. Davidge then rose and proceeded with his address to the jury. He analyzed the testimony of Dr. Itice, Mrs. Bcoville, John W. Guiteau "and others as to the i eccentricities and peculiarities cf the prisoner. I All this testimony was unimportant. Mr. Davidgo said: " The Guiteau family is a respectable family, a family of tone and character. Thoy have mado their mark wherever they havo gone. The mistake committed bv the family is in undertaking to protect and defend this "ir.au. All families aro liable in the course of nature to | produce bad men and wicked men, and bu t j women and wicked women, and the course tho Roman course?that this family ought to pursue would be to denounce this wretch is having sinned against law, against God, against nature itself, and offer him aa a sacrifice on tho altar of his country." The prisoner hero broke in: "That is all said for money.-" Mr. Davidgo continued his review of the testimony, speaking in the same quiet, off-hand, yet dignified bav and vnrv often readmennassures of the I testimony, while he stood much of tho time so I clo^e to the jurymen that ho could have almost laid his hand on them. Ho paid no heed to Guiteau'a interruptions, which wero even more frequent than on the previous day, though less insulting. The assassin talked almost incessantly, almost as much as Mr. Davidgo, in fact. When 51r. DaviJgo quoted testimony which Guiteau had coatradictcd an it fell from the witnesses' lipp, Guiteau again declared that it was untrue, lie accused Mr. Davidgo ot talking only for money, which would bur a in his pocket. The court room r as densely crowded, and after a woman had fainted Guiteau suggested to tho court that fresh air was neoded in the room, a suggestion which was acted upon. Guitoau surveyed tho dense cro-w.i from his seat in tho dock at the opening of proceedings on tho forty-fifth day and then blurted out: " I received thirty checks yesterday, representing about $15,000; somo of tlu-m I suppose are worthless, and many of (hem are no doubt good. I don't want any one to send me a worthless check. I do my own hanking business, and my checks should bo made out to my order. Any one who desireB to tend mo money can do to, but I don't want any worthless checks." Mr. Scoville next asked the court whether tho prisoner would be allowed to speak in his own delnise. If tho court proposed (o accord him that privilege his counsel would prefer that ho should speak firat. Guiteau hero said: " I want to bo hoard on that question, your honor. I wa.ut to close tho arguments for tho defense. I wouldn't trust my case in the bauds of tho best lawyer in Amorioa." Judge Cox refused to permit Guiteau to speak, ou the ground that the prisoner would abuse the privilege, as ho had dono all through the trial, bat said that counsel for tho defense mieht read from Guiteau'a manuscript if they desired. Guiteau protested that he appeared as his own counsel, and claimed tho right as an American citizen to be hoard in hi.s own defense. Finding that Judge Cox would not bo moved lio I shouted: "Let the record show that I appear | here as my own counsel, and that I tako exception to your ruling, Judge Cox. I shall appeal ' to the American peoplo, and thoy will overrule ! you, and you will go down to future ages | with a black stain upon your name." ' j .nr. ltecu, 01 UmcagO, llieu uuuressuu uiu I I jury for tho defense, his argument being that Guiteau wna insane. The speaker was j I continually interrupted by comments and in! terjections on tho part of tho prisoner, who was I not in tbo least abashed by liia counsel's olabj orato portraiture of him as a fool and a , lunatic. "I a*-ert," Mr. Iteed said, "that the j . conviction of this man to the gallows, and his j i execution, would be an infamy beyond descrip- j j tion?an indelible stain on American jurispruj (lcnco and American juries.1' Tho assassin, ! when his counscl had finished, uaid: "Heed is I a good fellow, but I would not give a cent a ! I bushel for his rubbish, if J could only have a j ! talk with that jury I would givo thom the i right theory." Contrary to his custcrn the prisoner did no ' ! make an opening fpeech at theop< niiig of court ; on the forty-sixth day, but t:?t quietly in the j dock while Mr. Scovillo began the clo.'inj: ! addresi of the ileQ ie-e to tho jury. Although i the prisoner had repeatedly denounced the ! lino of defense followed by Mr. Scoville, an! j had declared that his own conception of the dofenso was tho only true cue, and lie would not trust tho best man in America to close hit i j easo for him, vet ho listened to the speech | ; without interruption, except to approve or i ! emphasize some of the points made by the ; I speaker. Ho did not lorget his <>vvi: speech, , liowover, and requested Judge Cox to read it i > in the newspapers because he wanted to talk j to hisii about it. .Mr. Hcuvilie began by ; I thanking tin jury for their pali'ticn (hiring lite [ ' trial and expressed his obligations L? members j ! of the bar all over tho conntn for tin generous, unasked-for nsnistaiico which they had ; rendered him. Continuing, Mr. Scovillo de- j voted his attention principally to eorrect.ng j : what lie claimed uoro misstatements of Jaw ! i and of fact iu Mr. Davidgo's opening address | j for tlio prosecution. Ec said lie had framed in ! hiu own mind an indictment for a conspiracy . r to hang the prisoner. TJie conspirators lie hie I I in mind were tho district attorney, Lawyers J l'orter and Davidge, and live of the export I [ witnesses for the government. There were ] twenty counts in this mental indictment, the ) lirst of wki<*Si was that, they had perverted iIn: ; i law in this case. On this point he spoke <>/ . j Lawyer Porter's introduction or* what. Judge I 1 Davis said about insanity iu his decision in the j (Jvlcmun ease iu Nt .v Yorlc eitv. This i | tion Irom .Judge Davis, ho claimed, liad i:o j lace there, and he averred tha> Judge Davi< | had gone outside of the case be!'<#re lum and j I attempted to intluonco this case. Jlr. Scuville | I pointed out what ho charged v.oro di via- i i timm Jrom or misrepresentations of the testi- j iimiiv by I!?? prosecution. II? did ri;?t specify j the remaining counts in his ;<:ip!nnitiiioiis iu- i dictment. lie argued tlia* if tiuiic.in's miu!

At tho opening of court on tho forty-seventh | i day Guiteau arose, and in a pretentious, ora- j torieal manner read the following statement: | "I intend no disrespect to this honorable: court. I desire no controversy with this honorab'c court. In general I am satisfied with tin; law as proposed Lv your honor. Hut I have a still broader view of the law, which I j ask your honor to follow, to wit, that if the ! jury "believed that I believed that it was right j for mo to remove the President beeauso I had special Divine authority so to do, and was forced to do it by tho Dcitv, they will acquit j mo on tho ground of transitory mania. Sickles, . MacFarlawi and Iliscock [meaning Cole] were I acquitted on tlio ground of transitory mauia. ! Tti hiv unaoeli nulitiHlipd vustnrdnv ill all the ! leading newspapers of the country, ami wliicli, ; I presume, ycur honor has read, I gave my I reasons for asking your honor so to charge. ! Mr. Hoed made a brilliant and lawverliko plea ! for the defenso, and Mr. Seovillo is making a 1 strong argument on liis theory. But neither Mr. Reed nor Mr. Scoville represents me in this defense. I am here as my own counsel, and hare been from the begidnisg. No ono represents me to this jury. I know my feelings and inspirations in removing the President, aud I have set it forth in my speech yesterday; and I ask your honor in the name of justice, in the name of the American judiciary, in the namo of the American people, to allow mo to address that jury of my countrymen in a pase where my life may be at stake. If a man upon that jury- has a doubt as to his duty to acquit me, my speech will probably settle it in my favor. Therefore, in the interest of justice, it is of the greatest importance that the jury should hear mo in my defouse." " Judge Cox said ho woulu consider Quiteau's request to address tho jury. Mr. Hcovillo continued his speech for tho defonse. He contrasted Guiteau's plea that the act was right bccanse it was inspired by God with what ho called tho real defense, namely, that Guiteau never bad any inspiration of any kind, and that it was a delusion all tlirniiL'h aii.l a nrnof of the diseRRpd condition of the assassin's mind. Mr. Seoville contended tlmt the prosecution, in objecting to the introduction of certain evidence by tho defen e, had not aho'.vn a spirit of fairness. lie sharply criticised Lawyer Porter and District Attorney Corkhiil for tho manner in wl)ich the case for tho prosecution had been conducted. Porter, ho said, had prostituted bis mind for money to hang an insane man. Guiteau suffered from chronic insanity, and during his leoturing tours ho was simply a peripatetic madman. He had got tho idea that another civil war was imminent from Senator Chandler, of Michigan. The way he was affected by that idea showed that b>? was insane, aud tho steps by which his mind was led from that to the conception of tho assassination further proved his insanity. Guiteau occasionally interrupted his counsel, among other things saying that he had received several checks for largo sums on New York banks, and was in a position to pay his board S bills. When court opened on tho forty-eighth day a crowd was present which filled every seat and occupied all the available standing room. Tho court having been called to order, Guiteau said in a quiet t me, different in every respect from the one which lie uses when he makes his usual morning speech: " I hope your honor will allow mo to address tho jury alter Mr. Scovillo gets through." Judgo Cox replied that he would consider the request of the prisoner after Mr. Seoville had finished his speech. Mr. Seoville then began the third day of his address to the jury. Nearly tho whol'j of his address for tho day consisted of a discussion of the influence of the political situation upon tho prisoner's mind before the assassination. He averred that but for certain reasons back of this prosecution Guiteau would never have been arraigned in a court of law, but would have been taken to an insano asylum after the assassination of Garfield and kept there until he died. Continuing, ho said vehemently: "Back of this prosecution is something which I have had io conieiiu u^auiai, uu i tviiiuu juu uiu? uu? m will feci the pressure of before you got through with thin ease. It in not morely tho eflorts of this man (pointing to the district attorney). Hack of him is the United States government; ami I arraign beforo you, gentlemen, as those wl?) are crowding the prisoner to tho gallows, persons high in authority. I say, and I say it without fenr, that the movers of this prosecution are those politicians who seek to hide their own infamy by casting the lilamo on this insane man. I say "that such men as G'onkling and Grant and Arthur?those who mado war without justification on that dead President whom tliey have since lauded to the skies?instituted that state of things and manufactured that degreo of public excitement ami political feeling that preyed upon this ins me man, until reason left its throne, ami lie did that which he considered to be perfectly in accordance with their counsel and their conduct." Jlr. Scoville went into this subject at considerable length, remarkiuc that he did not intend to say all this wlieu he opened the case, because ho then expected a lair and impartial trial, but now he had concluded not to spare tho men who fomented this strife or permit them to make a scapogofit of Guiteau. Ho said this without any feei ng, unless of regret that men so high in power should descend to the ignominious scraniblo for oftice which was exhibited against Garfield. Ho said that tho men, who since his death hud been so profuse in their admiration of him, were ready bofore the second of July 'last to trample him in the dust, to eod him go down in obscurity and disgrace to the gravo if | it could bo done without the uid of au assa-sin's i hand. .Referring to the statement that the de' fense Lad injured their cane by placing the j nrboner upon the witness stand, Mr. Scoville called attention to the fact that frequently tho faculties of insane persons were as ahf.rp ' and shrewd as those of sano persons. That had been shown by the testimony of tho experts. Ho pictured I I the growth of the delusion on tho prisoner's ; j mind. It was juct as impossible to get rid of j I the iiiea that he must kill the President as it j ! 4V_ 1 1,? ?,W1. "??n/ uVin 11 T ' ; deliver mo from the body of this deathHe ! | believed that tho prisoner had trie<l to shake ' J off tho idea but had failorl, because he was i sick aud weak. Mr. Scovillo further reviewed j I the evidence, and particularly commented ad- j j versely upon that of Dr. Gray. The prisonor ' made comparatively few interruptions. Ho ' i twico called out that tho New York court of i I appeals on tho preceding Tuesday had rendered | | a decision that favored tho theory of the de- 1 j fun*c in liis case as to insanity. Tho proceedings at the opening of court or ! j tho forty-ninth day of the trial and fourth day j I of Mr. Scoville's address were opened by the j prisoner, who, in a declamatory tone, said j , "The decision of the New York court of ap- i ! poals comes with ho much force at the present j | moment that I deBire to call attention to it. It j comes with great grace from the Empire State, j | from that grand old State of the republic, the | Stato that sends forth the brains, the moncj | and the commerce of the nation. It is a great ; step forward in the law of insanity. Hithertc j the law has been that the burden of proof was J i on the defendant, bnt the court of appeals, wi'h j fjrand magnanimity, says that the burden ot | proof is on this prosecution, to prove that the man not orily committed the act, but also that be was sane at the time ho committed it. In the namo of justice, and in the name of the , American people, and in the namo of the American judiciary, I desire to thank those ! gontlomen of the court of appeals of the State ' of New York." Mr. Scovillo then resumed his j j position opposite tho jury box, and in Ins cus- ; \ ternary conversational tone, and without any i apparent weariness from hn efforts of the past 1 three days, again addressed the jury. He : quoted from the testimony of Policeman Kear- I ncy, who arrested the prisoner, to show the j j incidents which followed the shooting of the j | President?tho arrest, tho removal to police j headquarters and the search of the prisoner's j ! person for papers. These incidents, Mr. j Scoville claimed, showed that the prisonor 1 was perfectly composed at tho time of j tho airest, and entirely free from ex- I j citement?a state of mind which was in- i coni-istcnt with the idea of sanity, rie I denounced Cclonel Corkhill with great bit- j t ruces several times, declared that if Guitean : had been of a revengeful spirit he would have j done to John H. Noyes, of tho Oneida Commit- j nity, many years ago, for wrecking his life, i what ho did last July to James A. Garfield, and | hihimi'u mat uunuur icruugu uui iuio ui nuw | riety would account for the crime, bec&uso i [ tiiero was no proof of tho one and tho other j was inconceivable. He dwelt alao on tho fact ' that Guiteau had mado no attempt when ria- i ited by the experts at tho jail to feign insanity. Mr. Scovillo said that he was not speaking go much to save Guiteau'e life, to do nis duty to his wife, Guiteau'a sister, or to savo the credit of tho Gnkeau family, aa to prevent an injustice being done that would be a lasting disgrace to America. If it were possible for tho jury by their verdict to stay tho tide of revenge ami of mob law, let them do so. He argued I that tho prisoner had no possiblo ill-will I toward tho President, and no motive for shooting him, and all tho circumstances eliowcd lio was insane. Ho defied the prosecution to show j a case in history in which a man had committed j s*.:ch a crime merely to gain notoriety. During | the day several wordy encounters took place j between Mr. Scovillo and Colonel Corkhill, and j the prisoner also kept up a running lire of j comments. FORTY-SEVEMH CONttUESS. j Senate.

A REMARKABLE STATEMENT. The Unnnual Experience of a Prominent lllnn Iilnde Public. The following article from, the Democrat and Chronicleof Rochester, N. Y., is of so striking a nature, and emanates from bo reliable a source, that it is herewith republished entire. In addition to the valuable matter it contains, it will be found exceedingly interesting: To the Editor of the Democrat and Chronicle: Sir My motives for the publication of the most unusual statements which follow are, first, gratitude for tho fact that I havo been saved from a most horriblo death, and, secondly, a dosiro to warn all who read this statement against some of tho most deceptive influences by which they havo ever been surrounded. It is a fact that to-day thousands of people are within a foot of tho grave and they do not know it. To tell how I was caught away from just this position and to warn others against Hearing it are my objects in this communication. On tho first day of June, 1881, I lay at my residence in this city surrounded by my friends and waiting for death. Heaven only knows the agony I then endured, for words can never do RCnUO it. Ana yet, 11 a mw vcuro pioviuuo, ??ujr ono had told mo that I was to bo brought eo low, and by so torriblo a diaeaso, I should have scoffed at tho idea. I had always boon uncommonly strong and healthy, had weighed over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize" at times that thoy are unusually tired and cannot account for it. Thoy feel (lull and indefinite pains in various parts of tho body and do not understand it. Or thoy are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely "without appetite tho next. This was just the way I felt when the relentless malady which had fastened itself upon mo first began. Still I thought it was fiothing; that probably I had taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed a dull, and at times neuralgic, pain in my head, but as it would come one day and bo gone tue next, I paid but little attention to it. However, ray aiomach was out of order and my food often failed to j digest, causing at times great inconvenience. Yet I had no idea, even as a physician, that these things meant anything serious or that a monstrous disease was becoming fixed upon me. Candidly, I thought I was suffering from Malaria and so doctored myself accordingly. But I got no better. I next noticed a peculiar ! color and odor about tho fluids I was passing ?also that thero were large quantities ono day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth and scam appeared upon the surface, and a sodimont settled in tho bottom. And yet I did not realize niv danger, for, indeod, " "?-i: 11- T seeing mesu vyuiinvmx wiiuuuuui, a. nil.Hi I became accustomed to tliem, and my suspicion was wholly disarme d by the fact that I had no pain iu tiio affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind I cannot understand. There ia a terriblo future for all physical neglect, and impending danger usually firings a person to his senses oven though it may then bo too late. I realized, at last, my critical condition and aroused myself to overcome it. And, Oh ! how hard I tried ! I consulted the beat medical skill in the land. I visited all the prominent mineral spriugs in America and traveled from Maine to California. Still I grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said I was troubled with spinal irritation; another, nervous prostration; anothor, malaria ; another, dyspepsia; another, heart disease; another, general debility; another, congestion of the base of tho braiii; and so on through a long list of common diseases, the symptoms of all of which I really had. Iu this way several years passed,during ail of which timo I was steadily growiug worse. My condition had really becjnie pitiable. The slight symptoms 1 at first experienced were developed into terrible and constant disorders?tho littlo twigs of pain had grown to oaks of agony. My iroi./lit. hn/i hr.fln reduced from 207 to 13*0 pounds. My lite was a tortaro to myself and friends. I could retain no food upon my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulao was uncontrollable. In my agony I frequently fell upon the lloor, convulsively clutched the" carpet, and prayed for death. Morphine had little or 110 effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights I had the death-premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My urine was filled with tube casts and albumen. I was straggling with Bright's Disease of the Kidneys in its last stages. While suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, tho iter. Dr. Foote, rector of St. Paul's church, of this city. I felt that it was our last interview, but in the course of conversation he mentioned a remedy of which I had heard much but had never used. Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkable cures which had come under his observation, by means of this remedy, and urged me to try it. As a practicing phyBician and a graduate of the schools, I cherished tho prejudice both natural and common with all regular practitioners, and derided tho idea of any medicine outside the regular channels being the least beneficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr, Foote, that I finally promised I would waivo my projudice and try tho remedy ho so highly recommended. I began its use on the first day of Juue and took it according to directions. At first it sickened me; but this I thou.; ' was a good sign for one in my debilu condition. I continued to take it; the sicki g seniation departed and I was able to retain mod on my stomach. In a few days I noticed a decided change for the bettor, as "also did my wifo and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and I experienced less pain than formerly. I was so rejoicod at this improved condition that, upon" what I believed a few days before was my dying bed, I vowed, in the presence of my family and friends, should I recover I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy lor tho good of hit inanity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity. I atao determined that I would give a course of lectures in the Corinthian Academy of Music of this city, stating in full the aympiouis and almost utter hopelessness of my disease and the remarkable means by which I have been saved. My improvement ft as constant from that time, and in less than three month* I had gained twenty-eix pounds in tle.-h, becamo entirely free from pain, and I believe I owe my life and present condition, wholly to Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy which I used. Siuce my recovery I have thoroughly reinvestigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Diight'a disease, and the truths developed are astounding. I therefore state, deliberately, and as a physician, that I beliovo moiie than ONK-HAt.F Tin: DEATHS WHICH OCCtTR is AMERICA auk CAUSED by j5EIGHT's DISEASE ok the kldnkys. This may sound liko a rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bright'* disease has no distinctive symptoms of its own (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but has tho symptoms of nearly every other known complaint. Hnndreds of peoplo die daily, whose burials are authorized by a physician's certitleato of "Heart Disease," "Apoplexy," "Paralysis," "Spinal Complaint," "Rheumatism," "Pneumonia," and other common complaints, when in _ reality it was Bright's Disease of the Kidneys. Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the extent of this disease or its dangerous and insidious nature. It steals into tho system like a thier, manifests its presence by tho commonest symutoms, and fastens itself upon the constitution before tho victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common an 1 fully as fatal. Entire families, inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none of the number knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing tln ui. Instead of common symptoms It often shoas none whatever, but brings death sud< * 11- 1 *? i,A u< my, aiu as sucn is usuaity ouppuocu iu lifMrt disease. .\m one who has suffered, and knows by bitter experieneo what ho says, I implore every 0110 who reads these words not to neglect the slightest bvinptonis of Kidney dilViciilly. Certain agony and possiblo death will bo the sure result of such neglect, and no one can a fiord to hazard such chances. I am aware that such an unqualified statement as this, coming from me, known as I am throughout the entire laud as a practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the surprise and possible animosity of tho medical profession and astonish all with whom I am acquainted, but I make the foregoing statements based upon facts which I am prepared to produce and troths which I can substantiate to tho letter. The ui-li'are of those who may possibly bo siifTci- r.-. such as I was, is an ample inducement for me to take the step I have, and if I can siuvisst'ully warn others from the dangerous path in which 1 once walked, I am willing to endure all professional and personal consequences.

A nice, Ktoufc bracelet of the chain pattern was circled arouiul tho Hephant's fore leg and clasped together with a thumb- i miHi ii Iwvwl on ir>/?h nnd n linlf in diameter. The chain was fastened j to the center post anil the thumbscrew carcfully locked. Aiter a few nights the elephant worked out the problem of that thumbscrew, and regularly every tlay when the keeper appeared in the morning the elephant was free from shackles. The keeperconld not understand it, and called for Mr. Kalb to explain the mystery. Tho two consulted, | examined and watched. It was ascer- | tained that as soon 11s the chain was pnt ( ironnd the animal's leg and locked, he leliberately put his other foot on the ; ?nd of the chain near the post. That oosened it on the shackled foot. Then nth his trunk he commenced to unicrew the thumscrew or nut, and in a rery few minutes he would be free anil valking around his cell.?St. Imia tepublican, ? How They Spend Their Money. Joe Howard writes from New York to the Philadelphia Times: In a con- ' spicuous window on Broadway stands a | table covered with bine satin. In its 1 drawers are candies. Price, 8250. The ( wood cost perhaps 81, the satin 85, the 1 work in time and ekill $10; total, 816. 1 Profit, 8234?when sold. I don't be- ' lieve any idiot in the world can equal a ' New York idiot. Once started he beats 1 the deck. For the fun of the thing I watched the shoppers in a great jewelry store one evening. I was amazed, j docks, with side vases, ranging in price from 8500 to 85,000, were easily sold. Pins for scarf or shirt, costing from 810 to 8150, were in great demand. But gold watches earned off the honors, and the demand for American makes was noticeable. The larger establishments have tnmblod to the fashionable craze for American watches. They import Swiss works, put them in American cases, stamp their own name on them and sell them at fabalous ratea I wish you could see the fobs and fobchains of the laudy- daws.

In all the great depots of treasure these clocks abound. Generally they have high mahogany cases, some with ornamental figurings, ofhers perfectly plain. Some give the day of the month" and the week, signs of the moon and evening star, and mythological data as well. The works are as simple as ABC, the regular old style, wound up by pulling an endless ohain and hoisting the heavy iron weight, while the long pendulum slowly ticks aud the ferocious bell literally clangs out the honr. I told ycu I had a fob chain, and I've one of these clocks, too. Some of these days I'll wear knee breeches. That will be funny. False Impretnlons on the Habject of Health Are eagerly encouraged by those who endeavor to hoodwink the public aa to the mode of its attainment. Vague statements as to the causes of diseaso are coupled by such nostrum vendors, with groundless and preposterous claims as to the infallibility of the remedy. Widely different from the above has been the course pursued in relation to Hostetter'a Stomach Bitters. Only plain substantiate and reasonable allegations have been made in its behalf.
