Country life in Italy.
A lady living in a country village in
Italy write?, in the Cornhill Magazine-,
of tier neighbors and their habits. She
says:
It is amazing how smart the very
poorest ladv who has any pretentions
to being such will turn out on occasions,
however dilapidated her home
attire. Two young ladies belonging to
an old bnt utterly ruined family, whose
parents were too poor to keep a servant,
would dresB themselves for their evening
walk in the most fashionable hats
and costumes, with their fans, smelling
bottles, lace handkerchiefs and gloves,
all complete. lu order to obtain these
dresses the yonug ladies had to condescend
so far as to work for the peasants,
who paid them for the
manufacture of the smart stays
and chemises they wear on feast
days. The attempts being highly
fashionable, combined with an entire
ignorance of the ways of the
fashionable world, produce sometimee
the strangest incongruities. The lacs
veil is now almost confined to the class
called " artisti"? that is, shopkeepers
and skilled workpeople; but a few of
the old-fashioned ladies still keep to it.
Curious specimens of decayed nobility
are to be louna m tnese remoR' villages
? people bearing grand names and retaining
considerable pri<'e in their ancient
lineage, whom generations of idleness
aid unthriftiness have reduced to
extrenl) porerty. They are not
educated for any profession, and
when starvation stares them in
the face they h?vo no resource
but to earn their bread by manual lpbor.
One noble count of my acquaintance is
a carpenttr; another a bricklayer. I
have seen the granddaughters of a
countess working in the fields. With
their fortunes, their manners deteriorate,
until nothing but a remnant of
pride remains to distinguish them from
the peasants between whose class and
theirs so great a gulf was once fixed. I
remember nothing mere melancholy
tlfan the assemblage of these povertyr.

house of the rich man of a village.
We w<ra at supptr; and as one
ragged and dirty old man alter
anothtr came shambling in, each
in turn was, to my great surprise,
introduced as the descendant of
an ancient and nob'e family, but fallen
?"caauto"?added my host, with a
gesture of compassion. The old man
would then bow his head in melancholy
acquiescence, and casting a rueful
glance at his shabby cloak with the
faded green lining, would slink into a
chair at the far end of the table. One
of these fallen nobles, who had taken to
bouse-paintine, we thought it only
charitable to employ for the decoration
of our ceiling. I was prepared to feel
quite a romantic interest in this unfortunate
nobleman, and to be enehanted
vrith his artistic genius; but
he was so uncommonly dirty,
and his manners were so little removed
from those of a peahant, that
ay illusions were dispelled at once.?
Neither did his style of decoration exactly
come up to my ideal, although it
was ambitious enough. A basket of
flowers soon adorned each corner of our
ceiling, and in the center, from amid
clouds and wreaths of roses, a rather
shapeless Cnpid began to be delineated.
In the middle of the work the artist,
whose temper was short and whose
feelings were sensitive, took offense (as
we supposed) at some unintentional
slight on our part. Without the slightest
explanation he departed one day,
leaving the Cupid minus one leg and
one arm, and returned no more. Poor
Cupid !
How Comets Affect the. Earth.
The following extract is from the
Erize essay on comets, won by Professer
;n?a of Albany: The influence of
comets tipon the earth is in all probability
insignificant. They may, like
the fetfn, afftct the earth's magnetic
condition, and thus to 6ome
extent, possibly, its meteorology. No
snch effect has erer been perceived. In
spite of some chance coincidences between
the apparitions of great comets
and remarkable public events, no well
informed person now believes that there
is any real connection between them.
. By a liberal and credulous interpretation
of any frequently occurring celestial
phenomenon, similar coincidences
could be shown.
When a comet is converted into meteoric
bodies, which impinge upon the
earth's atmosphere, there -is some direct
though probably minute effect. Some
have thought that a sensible portion of
the heat when the earth receives it is
generated in this way; bnt the weight
of ecientific opinion seems to be against
that hypothesis The impact of the
meteors upon oar atmosphere must add
some matter to it, and this is probably
in the form of dust. This must be the
origin of the so called i-Dsmic dnst,
which has been collected at sea in recent
times. The fiaer particles of it
may h?ve some influence on cloud formations,
and other meteorological phenomena;
but ull this is merely conjecture.
A more remote effect may be sought
in the possible fall of meteors and com
ets upon the surface of the sun. Owing
to his va3t balk, the sun would, attract
an immense number of those bodies;
but it is quite certain that their effect
upon the son's heat is quite insignificant.
It is now generally admitted
that we mast look for the origin of the
snn's heat in a constant, though to us,
imperceptible sbrinkage of his vast
bulk.
Bome connection between the frequency
of sun spots and comets hps
been rather vaguely suspected. "Were
ihe search for comets systematically
pursued with equal persistence for a
long period, we might have some data
for the formation of a sound opinion.
Yet it would still bo an open question
whether comets cause the* spots or
whether greater activitv of the sun
tends in some war to render comets
brighter, so that more will bo visible,
with probability in favor of the lattvr
proposition.
Finally, it may be 6aid, with all dne
respect to scientific decorum, that the
appearance of a great comet does
ei<rt one most happy inflneneo on the
earth, in that it stimulates lie curiosity
of mankind and dines thfir noughts
to the more particular contemplation of
the glorious universe which surrounds
them.
Jolr-ny an?l the Sonr Apples.
" Johnny," said a lady living on Austin
avenue, to her ten-year-old son,
" take a basket, go to the grocery on
the corner, and briug me a dozen nice
apples. Bo utiro and taste them, and
see they aro not sour ones."

b8r to taste fhem," said John by, cheerfully,
taking up the basket and sauntering
out the gate. In about half an hour
he came beck and placed the empty
basket on the table.
"Didn't the grocer have any apples ?"
asked the an\i<>us mother.
"Yes, mam I bought a dozer. Th<y
were not sour."
""Where are they V asked tbe fond
mother, taking another squint into the
empty twsket.
"You told me to bo sure and sea that
they were not sour, so I lmd to taste
eve?y one of (hem, you kno.r, ma; I
bad to bite each apple, tou know."
"Where are ihey !' shrieked tbe now
thoroughly aroused woman.
"They were all little apples, ma, and
one of them didn't make more than a
good bite, but they wasn't soar, ma, indeed
they wasn't."
Judging from the way Johnny wr ks
the apples did not agree with him, e' en

Where ti>c .Money Went.
Tn July last George Sands, a well tido
farmer living near Milan, Ohio, took
Latvia SSflil. Ar.tl handin? it ti his wife
requested her to take charge of it. She,
with the thought fulness of the average
housewife, considered that the straw
bedtirk would bo about as safe a hiding
piece as she conld find for the wealth.
Accordingly she placed the roll of bills
among the straw. The money not being
needed for any purpose it was forgotten
until several weeks after the bouse had
been cleaned, when Mr. Sands inquired
of hie wife if ehe had that money. The
thought citne to her at once that she
had emp'iod the straw-bed in the
orchitJ, and of course the roll of bills
bad been dumped oat too. A visit to
the orchard showed '.hat the s*ine and
poultry had been very industrious
there, agd ten and twenty-dollar bills
were found fcat tared by the wind aod
torn by the aforesaid farm fcttck. Careful
seurch brought back about ?230.
leaviug seventy dollars as the price of
th* c irelessnesi. Mr. Sands does not
put hie money in straw-ticks any more.

Deposits of Stronlianite in Prussia.
The fortunate owners of petioleum |
lands in the Luntbe'g distiict of Prns- ]
sia had scarcely jecjvered ftora their
astonishment at the possession of unexpected
wealth, when the peasant
farmers about Munster awoke to find j
themselves rich in deposits of stron- j 1
tianite, for which there is a great de- | j
rutuid in all the German &ugar refining [ ,
centers, particularly at Madgeburg,
Dessau, Attenburg and U'agnausel, 1
where it is now permanently used in j 1
tho extraction of the sugar from the J
molasses. Some of the.se sugar re- , (
finericis are said to date from the six- ; i
teenth century. The mineral which is '
now fonnd so abundantly in Westphalia, '
arid which promises to be the source of 1 ,
immense wealth to that part of Prussia, i ]
owes its recognized scientific name to
the viliago of Strontian, in Scotland, j
where it was first found. It occurs, 1
though only in small quantities, in other j
part3 of Germany, on the Hartz moun- i
tains, also in Salzburg in Poland, and
at Tavetsch, in the Orisons, the place,
which boasts of producing the verj ;
finest, honey in Europe. The capital of I
the growing stroritianite trade is Hamm, :
in Westphalia. More than 800 mines
are now engaged in working it in that
neighborhood.

day of the trial. IIo exhibited diagrams
!o show that one of the doctors who testified
for the prosecution lied when he told the jury |
:hat a diagram representing Guiteau's head as
lymmetrical was correct. He averred that the
list of homicides committed by lunatics which
iras introduced by Dr. Gray bad been prepared
for this case, and ho read from tho offi;ial
tables of tho Utica asylum to show that
four cases, which had a direct bearing on the
:aso, had been omitted from Dr.
Cray's tables. In conclusion, he argued
iliat tho crime of a lunatic must not be punislied
in tho eamo way as that of a sano man(lo
asserted that capital punishment had a do.
moralizing influence, and, in his opinion,
:rimcs would be diminished by its abolition.
As on the previous day there wero soveral altercations
betweon Scoville and Corkhill. There
was some applause in the court room when
Mr. Scoville concluded his speech. Guiteau
tried to strike one of the officers in charge
[>f him while leaving the court-room at the re:ess.
He stopped to speak to Mr. Scoville,
ivhon the bailifl attempted to push him along.
Fie grow angry, and when the pressure was renewed
he drew back his hands, locked as they
ivero in handcuffs, and triod to
strike the officer. Another officer
:aught his hands and he was then quickly
tiii-tlod out Judco Cox consented to let Gui
ieau deliver his speech to the jury, saying that
some of his brethren had very serious doubts
ivnetlier in a capital case the prisoner could bo
ienied the right to address the jury. Guiteau
.Icclarod, when he gave out his speech for publication,
that the refusal to let him deliver it in
:ourt would not be approved by Judge Cox's
associates. He said ho would deliver the same
speech that ho had already given to the press,
but he wanted to wait until the neit morning,
is hi9 mind was not clear. The prosecution
withdrew their objections to his speaking, anl
Suiteau seemed mollified by what ho called the
unexpected courtesy ofCorkliill.
A tromeudous crowd was present to heat
Guiteau speak in his own behalf on the filtyfirst
day of the trial. Upon entering the room
Guiteau took a seat in tho witness box, remarking,
as he laid out his papers: "I sit down
because I can Bpeak bettor; not that I am
alraid of being shot. This shooting business
is getting played out." At an intimation from
Judge Cox the prisoner carefully arrangod his
glasses, and, with a flourish, began to read
from manuscript as follows: " The prosecution
pretend that 1 am a wicked man. Mr. Scoville
and Mr. Heed think I am a lunatic, and I presume
you think I am. I certainly was a lilnatic
on July 2, when I fired on the President
and the American people generally, and I presume
you think I was. Can you imagine anything
more insane than my going to that depot
and shooting tho President of the Unitod States
l'ou are here to say whether 1 was sane or
insane at tho moment 1 tired that shot. You
have nothing 10 ao wnu ray cuuuiuuu ut-iuiu
or since that shot was tired. You must say by
your verdict sane or insane at the moment
iho shot was fired. If you liavo any doubt of
my sanity at the moment you must give me
the benefit of that doubt and acquit me. That
is, if you have any doubt whether I fired that
sliot or as the agent of the Deity. If I fired it
on my own account I was sane. If I fired it
supposing myself the agent of the Deity I was
insane and you must acquit. This is the law
as given in the recent .decision of the New
York court of appeals. It revolutionizes the
old rules and is a grand step forward in the
law of insanity. It is worthy this ago of railroads,
electricity and telephones, and it well
comes from the progressive State of New York.
I have no hesitation in saying that it is a special
providcnce in my favor, and I ask this court
aud jury so to consider it. Somo of the best
people of America think me the greatest man
ut tnis age, and this feeling is growing. Th?y
believe in my inspiration aud that Providence
and I have really saved the nation another war.
My speech eetting fortli in detail my defense
was telegraphed Sunday to all the leading
papers and published Monday morning,
and now I am permitted by his honor
to deliver 11 10 you. uiujr a ucro uobire
to express my indebtedness to the American
press for the able and careful way they
have reported this case. The American press
is a vast engine. They generally bring down
their man when they open upon him. They
opened upon me with all their batteries last
July because they did not know my motive and
inspiration. N jw that this trial has developed
my motive and inspiration their bitterness has
gone. Some editors aro double-headed. They
curse you to-day and bless you to-morrow, a?
thoy suppose that public opinion is for or
against you, which shows the low grade of their
humanity. I desiro to thank my brother and
sister and my counsel, Scoville and Reed, for
their valuable services. I intend to give my
counsel ample fees, especially Scoville. He is
a stanch man and a hero, and I commend him
to the great Northwest as a fine' lawyer and a
Christian gentleman. We have differed as to
this defense. Ho has his theoiy and I have
mine. I told him to work his theory as ho
thought best, and he has doco it in a splendid
way, and I commend him for it. Considering
his slight experience as an advocate ho showed
himself as a man of marked resources. In
other words, you cannot tell what is in
el man until he has a chance. Some
men never have a chanco, and go down in
Dbscurity. There are plenty of brains in this
world. Not every inau has a chance to do
mop ins unun. it is unuu auu uppuiiuuit>
under Providence that makes a groat man. I
return thanka to the marshal and his aids, to
the superintendent of polico and his force, to
(he warden of the jail and his keepers and to
General Ayres and his lorces for services rendered
me. I return thanks to this honorable
court and bright jufy for their long and
patient attention to this case. I am not here
is a wicked man or a lunatic. I am here as a
patriot, and my speech is as follown: I read
from the Now York Herald: The prisoner then
proceeded to read his speech as already published.
% In a declamatory manner he rolled
forth his sentences, holding the paper in one
hand and with tho other gesticulating and emphasizing
hid utterances. The words "Itally
round tho lJag, boys," he repeated in a singsong
tone, waving his arm in tho air abovo his
head. '"And for this I suffer in bonds as a
patriot," he quoted, in an oratorical mauncr,
Mid then repeating the sentenco ho allowed
his voice to tremble so that the words
svero nearly inaudible. Tho trembling in
liis voice continued till he spoke about his
mother and declared that he had always been
"a lover of tho Lord," when lie broke down
completely, and, applying his handkerchief to
Ilia eyes, wiped away tho tears which, naturally
or forced for tho purpose of exciting sympathy,
coursed down his cheeks. However, he
immediately recovered himself, and in his
usual tone of voico proceeded with his address.
When he camo to his deiicription ot the attempts
mado upon his life by Mason and
Jones, he stood up for the purpose of the more
vividly tainting out to tae Jury tiie narrow escapes
which be bad bad. with something of
pnio lie held up bis arm and showed the rent
made in bis coat by the bullet fired by Jones,
and made bis old declaration that it was a
proof that the Lord was watching over him. A
laugh ran through the audience as tbo prisoner
read and reread bis declaration that it would
be perfoctly sate for him to walk the streeta of
Washington or New York. Coming down to
the extracts from hi* mail be read them with
extreme unction, particularly the rhyming one
dated Philadelphia, Now Year's day, 1882,
which be read in a sing-song way, which
caused a laugh among the audience." Ho evidently
enjoyed the Strictures upon the counsel
for the prosecution, and his pleased smile
was too much for the district attorney, who
joined in the laugh which followed tbo reading
of the extract, lie aching that portion of the
speech where an abstract lrom his address
to the American pooplo is inserted,
ho folded up tho paper, took oft
his glasses and squaring himself in his
chair proceeded to repeat the extract from
memory. In doing this he assumed bia uiost
oratorical style, modulating the tones of bis
voice, using both arms to aid him in emphasizing
bis dramatic utterances and as far as
possible acting the extract. Coming down to
bis quotation from "John Browu's Body," ho
threw back his head and sang a verso from
that old song, mucn to the amusement ot the
spectators. He read Irom his speech: " Put
my body in the ground if )'ou will; that is all
vou can do. But thereafter comes a day ot
reckoning. The mills of the gods grind slow,
but thej grind sure, and they will grind to
itoras every man that injures me," and supplemented
it with the remark: "As sure as a
hair of my head is injured this nation will go !
down in the dust, and don'c j?ou forget it.'
lie then proceeded to read his speech to a
closo, his final sentence being. " When the
President was shot bis cabinet telegraphed to
foreign nations that it was tho act of a madman,
and it would be far better every way that
it be finally decided that it was the act of a I
madman."
Guiteau beean tho Droceediues on the fifty- I
second day by eaying: "I spent yesterday in
sxamminjj my mail?several hundred letters?
i good many of them from ladies, and soveral
Df them very tender. I desire to express my
sympathy and tlianks for those tender letters
received from American ladies. One letter
suggests that President Arthur give mo a
Cabinet appointment. I do not desire any
jffico from General Arthur. It would not be
proper, and if it would I don't desiro it. I
i!e<> wish to say to Judge Porter that he is to
liave the final close on this case, and that if he
attempts to mislead that jury about the law or
ibout the tacts my counsel and myself will
atop him. Ho came into this case last October
at the instanco of General Arthur under a
misapprehension, and Judge Porter doesn't
represent the ' American people or the
government of the United 8tates. In
this case he represents himself." Judge Porter
then began the closing address to tho jury
in presence of an audience that crowded tho
conrt-rooin to suffocation. In a voice that was
rather weak?for ho had been sick several days
?Mr. Porter said: " I deal only with tho evi
ilcnce and the facta and the Jaw." During
most of Mr. Porter's addresa Guiteau either
read a newspaper or wrote autographs. Mr.
Porter eaid no would say, in justice to tho
prisoucr, that, of the threo arguments which
liad been made for tho defense, the one moat
free from objection was that delivered by tha
prisoner himself. Asido from the impiousness
of his atatementa, it was free from the delibernto
misstatements ani perversions of testimony
that ran through tho arguments of his
associato counsel, especially ol Mr. Scoville.
Describing Guiteau'scharacteristics, Mr. Porter
said: "This man showed his idea, of mercy to
others when on one occasion ho turned to you
md said that that God, whoso name he has
so often blasphemed, would interfere to strike
down one of your number before you should bo
able to convict him. This is tho man who invokes
ihe tender and merciful conrideration of
bis case?a man brut&l in his instincts, in
ordinate in his love of notoriety, eaten up by a
thirst for money which has gnawed at hits soul
like a caueer, a uegsar, a nypocri e, a cantcr, a i
-windier, a lawyer, who with many years' piuc- j
lice never won a case. Would you know why ? I
No court, no jury failed to see that ho was & dishonest
rogue, and anch men cannot win '
:aees?a man who has left his trail in
s-arioua States ; a man who has lived on other
people's funds and appropriated them to his
>wn ueo in breach of every trust; a man who is
capable of aping the manoers of a gentleman;
i man who as a lawyer had this notion of
morality,that when be bad taken debts to collect
md collected them by dunning the debtor, held
them against bis client, and chuckled over the
success of his scheme: a man who sold oroide
w atches or pawned them to get money through
Falsehood and misrepresentation." (The prisoner?"
That lie teems to stick in your throat,
Porter.") Mr. Porter oontinuedjiis denunciaion
of Uniteau, calling him a coward and a
icud. Then he highly eulogized i'rosident
Garfield. Mr. Porter review > (1 the history of
Jie case, the purchase of the pistol, the prin
oner's practicing by the river aide, and thft varioua
occasions when he waa deterred from the
mnrder. In regard to the incident of the practicing
at the river aide, he Baid: " Who was it
that was practicing?the Deity or the prisoner
at the bar ? Who fired at these osiers ? Who
sent them swerving down as Garfield swerved ?
Who hit them ? Who fired twenty times in
order to accustom himself to the noise oI the
report of the pistol, to the end that
it should not stun him when it murdered
the President?" As to his
being restrained from the murder by the presence
of Mrs. Garteld on one occasion and that
of the two bojs on another occasion, Mr. Porter
remarked that there was no diabolism so complete
on this side of the infernal regions that it
has not some remaining twinges of conscience; '
and yot ho firmly believed that thin statement ,
of tho prisoner was as false aa anything else he |
had saul. Ho had been restrained by nothing |
but cowardice on all such occasions. Mr. For- I
tor also referred to the vanity which mado the J
prisoner choose a whito-hsndled pistol rather
than a black one. that it might boar his namo j
and fame "thundering down the ages," and bo I

cused Mr. Scovillo of making deliberate j
misstatements and perverting the testimony. j
Mr. Scoville interrupted him at one point, saying
he desired to correct the speaker on tho
evidence. Mr. Davidge objected to interruptions,
and Mr. Scovillo retorted that he had
been interrupted 147 times. When Mr. Porter
touched upon the question of public opinion
concerning Guiteau, Mr. Scoville objected, and
took an exception to statements of the speaker
doming what Guiteau himself had asserted a.i
to the tone of tho press and tho public. Tliere
was a lively tilt, in which Guiteau took part,
and Judgo Cox said Mr. Porter could deny
what Gmteau had said, but could not make
positive statements as to what is contained in
newspapers or private letters. Mr. Porter was
not welt and was obliged to suspend his speech
early in the afternoon.
As Mr. Porter rose to resume his argumerA
on the fifty-third day Guiteau shouted from
the dock: " 8ome crank signed my name to a
letter in one of tho papers tLis mornin.?. I repudiate
that kind of business. I also understand
that two cranks were arrested this morning,
and tha? two of them have been lying
around since Saturday. I give notice that I
am in charge of officers of the court, and if
anybody attempts any violence against me he
will be 'shot dead. Let tho people understand
that." Judge Porter then continued his
address to the Jury. He asserted that
the defense was founded on ahs.ms and
impostures; on brazen falsehood, which was

potual reiterations. " The disciples of the
school of Guiteau," he said, "have great
confidence in a maxim of Aaron Lurr, that
falsehoods are to be verified b? persistency
and reiteration." He said that Guiteau was a
liar, a swindler and a murderer in heart from
the beginning; that he had grown worse every
year that he had lived; that he was a disobedient
child, lawless and ungrateful to his
father, and an unkind brother; that he stung
overy man who was a benefactor to. his youth;
that he had inordinate desire for unholy notoriety,
and that he grew worso and worae until
his career culminated in cold-blooded assassination.
Ho became, not by disease, tut by culture,
a moral monstrosity?the most "coldblooded
and savage murderer of tho last six
thousand years. Guiteau interrupted this torrent
olf denunciation, remarking that it was all
bosh, and that Porter knew it. He continued
his interruptions all day, sometimes declaring
thfit the speaker was telling falsehoods,
and at other times ridiculing
him. His assertion that Mr. Porter
was a wine bibber reminded tho
speaker of a verae, which he repeated for the
jury. Another interruption led Mr. Porter to
say he was afraid the prisoner hs.d not the
latest intelligence from heaven. Referring to
Guitcai's assertion that he made Arthur President,
Mr. Porter said General Arthur was
made President by the voice of his countrymen,
tho same voico that made Gsxfleld
President, and that Millard Fillmoro was iuat
as truly elected by the people as the President
whom lie succeeded. Guiteau declared hat
this was false, for Arthur and Fillmore were
nominated for Vice-President, and would not
have been nominated for President at the time.
Speaking of the statement made by Guiteau
to the district attorney's stenographer soon
after the assassination, and which the de
fenBe claimed was destroyed because it contained
the prisonei'8 claim to inspiration, Mr.
Porter said ho had read that statement, and it
contained no such thing. Mr. ScovUle at cnce
objected, saying that Mr. Portor was trying to
get indirect and unsworn evidence before the
jury. Mr. Porter defended his course on the
ground that he was only contradicting what
the prisoner had said. Judge Cox said the
statement woa objectionable, as the prisoner
was nnder oath as a witness, and Mr. Porter
was not. Mr. Portor, nevertheless,
attempted to go on with what he wished to
sav, but Mr. Scoyille stopped him again,
and Judge Cox said he could sot allow any
thing more to be said br Mr. Porter on tha
contents of that paper. Mr. Porter declared
that ho had practiced law longer than Judge
Cox, and intimated that he needed no ruling
from him. Judgo Cox listened to this unmoved,
but Colonel Reed declared that Mr.
Porter ought to be punished for coDtempt.
Once when Judge Porter was saying that although
the prisoner h&d sworn that he prayed
to God, there was no person in the assembly
who shrank from meeting his Maker as he did
Guitean was enraged, and rising, shouted:
" That's absolutely fatee, Portor, and you know
it, too, and you are an infernal scoundrel. God
Almighty will put you below with Corkhill."
Guitean Found Guilty.
judge rurier cuuciuueu ujb miou unjo a idrese
on tho fifty-fourth day of the trial. Ho
was constantly interrupted by Gaiteau and
Bubjected to a torrent of abuse. At 3 o'clock
the judge finished his address, the speeches
were over, and there only remained Judge
Cox's charge to the iury. At this timo the
court-room was densofy packed, and the audience
had evidently come prepared to remain
there until the jury should bring in its verdict.
Judge Cox had evidently prepared his
charge with a great deal of care. Ho ppoke in
a quiet, clear, judicial mannor, and he had no
more earnest and attentive listener than Gai teau
himself, who bent forward ovor the railings
on tho dock with his face rosting in the
palms of his hands nnd his elbows supported
ny the railing, making a noteworthy picture in
the dim twilight of the room. Judge Cox'a
charge swept away all the cobwebs which the
lawyers on each side had constructed. It was
a concise, clear and positive statement of the
legal definition of insanity, of the
gaugo which tho jury must apply
to the evidence sustaining both the
Banity and the insanity claims. It left no sort
of doubt in the minds of the jury as to precisely
what was insanity as contemplated by
tlio law, an 3 gave them no opportunity for any
other discussion among thomselves, excepting
the single one as to wh ther the evidence introduced
met the legal roquiromenta. The
charge was one to which, oven the counsel for
the defense said, little or no exception could
bo taken, and no exception a", all waa possible
upon hia statement of tho law. Nevertheless
it sounded to the audience, and, as since
learned, vas accepted by tho jury like the
death sentence of Giiiteau. The prisoner was
given tho benefit of all that he could poBsi
bly, under the evidence, ask for, and yet
Judge Cox's Btatement of the case was eo terribly
powerful against him that many people
believed that tho jury would be out but a few
moments. Once or twice Guiteau offered some
trivial comments, Lnt they wt re unnoticed by
tho judge and almost unheard by the people in
the court-room. It did not escape notice of
members of the bar who heard tho charge that
in some respects Judge Cox had been fairer
toward the prisoner even than his counsel had
askml him to be, while on the other hand ho
had brushed away as insignificant and of no
coneoquenco some of tho points which the
prosecution had dwelt upon with seemingly the
greatest confidence.
Soon after 5 o'clock, and while dusk was becoming
darkness in the court-room, the jury
took tho caeo into its own hands. A grim-visaged
bailiff making his way through the dense
throng that stood between the jury and the
door beckoned to them to follow him. A colored
sheriff, gathering up somo of tho documentary
evidence, prepared to follow, and one
by one, thus escorted, tho jnrv made its way
from tho court-room into the consultation
room overhead. Judge Cox, after they had
gone, leaned over tho bar and conversed quietly
with one or two lawyers. Mr. Scoville and
Mr. Roed, tho prisoner's counsel, chatted with |
one or two of tho audience. Judge Porter sat
silent, while Corkhill made tho only exhibition

pers with which the tables were strewn.
Chateau eat in the dock for five or aix minutes,
like a statue, after the jury had gone. It
was too dark to see his features, but those who J
stood near him said ho was muttering some- i
thing to himself. He finally looked up toward !
the judge and tried to get up, but ho seemed to
have lost his strength, and the officers who
guarded him thought ho was goiu^ to break
down. At last he said in a weak voice, unlike
that ho Las used to interrupt the proceedings,
that he would like to be taken out of the court
into the marshal's office, and Judge Cox con- i
seutod. Two bailiffs took him one by each !
arm and he was led through the
throng, his head bent over, his eyes
upon tho door, shuffling along until he got
out of the court-room. In tho marshal's offico
he was seated in a chair in tho corner, and
when one of the deputies spoke to him, asking
him how ho felt, no replied in a tremulous
voice that he was anxious to havo it over, it
wore on his nerves very much waiting for the
jury to come in. Ho would not say what he
thought of Judge Cox's charge. Fifteen minutcK,
perhaps, after tho jury went out Judge
Cox decided to give a receus for half an hour.
As soon as tbe crier announced this the audienco
becan to converse in loud tones. Women
held dainty sandwiches in their fingers, and
there was tho fragrance of freshly-cut
apples. The whispering became murmuring,
and tho murmuring chatting. Everybody
who had a seat kept it; no one would give up
his place. Corkhill, tho district attorney, was
a picturo in pantomime. His ronnd head
bobbed back and forth a9 he whispered to this
or that man, and he threw off some of tho official
dignity which routine has rendered heavy
for his shoulders. Mr. Hcoville stood like a
statue with hh arms folded, whilo Mr. Itoed,
who was talking with a lawyer, sadly shook his
head, as if in anticipation of a verdict.
Within ten minutes after tho recess had been
taken tho jury called to tho bailifi in waiting
that they wore ready with their verdict. Thoy
wero informed that a recess had been taken,
aud tLat Judge Cox had left tho courtroom,
so they remained in thoir room until tho
court reassembled. Tho rumor that the jury
had agreed was quickly spread from ono to
another, and an excited crowd surged back
into the court-room.
Suddenly a single shout from the court crier
broucht perfect silence. The door from tho
marshal's office opened. They were bringing
in the prisoner.
As he passed a point where the Jiglit struck j
hia lace,"it gave his features a ghaatly look.
Ilia jaw was firmly set, however, and lie
seemed to have recovered his eel (-possession.
He glanced at the jnrv box, and then sat in
the dock, hia bad; to the audience.
\ minute later there was commotion upon
the other side of the room. A bailiff whispered
to tho judge, CorkLill etraightcned up
and looked very stern, PorCr did not movo n
muaclo, and Scoville 8ti.il stood there with hia
arms foldod.
"The jury is coming," ran in a whisper
through the court-room.
Tho door opened and tho shadowy forms of
tn olve persons were seen filing into their place.
No one could seo enough of their faces to catch
any expression if there was one ; but, had they
shouted their verdict as they entered, they
con d not have more fully convinced tho people
what it was than they did by tho silent procession
to the place whenoe they would pronounce
it.
After so short an absence Guiteau sat in his 1
place like a block of stone, his figure being j
Juat revealed by the dim light. The youthful {
clerk stood up in his place facing tho iury. The
silence in the court-room was painful.
"Gentlemon of the jury," said the clerk in a ,
oold, perfunctory tone of official duty, "have
yon agreed upon your verdict ?"
" We have," responded the foreman, in a low
and almost indistinct tone.
"What say you ? Is the prisoner at the bar
guilty or not guilty ?"
"Guilty as indicted," responded the foreman.
Then the pent up feelings of the crowd
found expression in uproarious demonstrations
of applause and approval.
" Order 1 order 1" shouted the bailiff.
Mr. Scovilio and counsel for the prosecution
were simultaneously upon their feet. Mr. Seoville
attempied to address the conrt, but the
district attorney shouted:
" Wait until you have the verdict coniplo e
an i in due form of law."
Order was at length restored, and tho clerk,
again addressing the jury, said:
"Your foreman saya, "guilty as inuictca.'
80 say yon all ?"
"We do," they all responded.
Another demonstration of approval followed
this announcement, but not so prolonged as the
first.
Mr. 8covillo, still upon his feet, demanded a
poll of tho jury, which waa granted, and each
juror waa called by name, and each iu a firm
voice promptly responded: "Guilty."
As the last name was called tho prisoner
screamod:
"The vengeance of the Almighty God will be
upon you for this outrage. My blood will be
upon the heads of that jury. Don't you fjrget
it."
Ho was at onco quieted and silenced by the
j guards, nor did he seem disposed to say any1
thing more. He did not, however, show any
signs of breaking down, but when tho guards
came to put the Handcuffs on him seemed the
same man that ho hai been since the trial
began.
Mr. 8coville again addressed the conrt, saying
: 'Tour honor, I do not desiro to forfeit
any rights I may have under the law and practice
in this District. If there is anything that
I ouRht to do now to save those rights I would
bo indebted to your honor to indicate it to
me."
Judge Oox in reply assured him that ho
should bav 3 every opportunity, that the charge
would be furnished to him in" print to-morrow,
and that he would be accorded all the time
allowed by law within which to file his exceptions,
and that he wonld also be entitled to fonr
days within which to move in arrest of judgment.
Jud je Cox then turned to the jury and said :
j "Gentlemen of the jury?I cannot express too
I many thanks for the manner in which you
| have discharged your duty. Yon have merited
| the thanks of your countrymen, and I feel assured
you will take with you to your homes
the approval of your consciences. With
thanks, gentlemen of the jury, I dismiss
you."
With this announcement the court was declared
adjourned.
The crowd quickly left the court-room, and
the prisoner, gesticulating; with his manacled
hands, was led out. As he passed tho reporters'
tables he leaned over and called out to an
acquaintance:
" Tho court in banc will reverse this business."
Ilis appearance was that of a man deeply
moved with indignation at some outrage or indignity
which had been put upon him. As he
was being put in tho van the crowd of mon and
boys upon the pavement yelled and shouted
themselves hoarse in mockery of the prisoner's
constant boast, "Tho American press and
people are all with me."
The van was quickly driven away, followed
till it was out of sight by tho jeers and yells of
the crowd.
When Guiteau reached the jail ho seemed to
have recovered his spirits, if, indeed, he ever
really lost then). Ho ate readily and seemed to
bo sustained by the idea that tho Almighty
would Btill protect him. At the same time he
Baid:
" If it is God's will that I should go to tho
gallows, I am ready; but my name will go

Tho jury very quickly scattered to their
homes. One of thorn says that thore was but
one ballot takon, and that showed that everv
member of tho jury had voted guilty. Tho
evidence which affected them more than any
other was that of Dr. Barnes, of New York, although
they never bolieved that the prisoner

j THE KIND-HEABTKD SHE-ELEPHANT.
A kind-hearted She-Elephant, while
wulking through the jungle where the
spicy breezes blow soft o'er Ceylon's
isle,heedlessly eet foot npon a Partridge,
which she crushed to death within a
few inohes of the nest containing its
callow brood. "Poor little things I"
stud the generous mamraom, "jl nave
been a mother myself, and my affection
shall atone for the fatal consequences
of my neglect." So saying, she sat
down npon the orphaned birds.
Moral.?The above teaches us what
home is without' a mother; also, that it
is not every person Who should be intrusted
with the care of an orphan
asylum.
THE PBCDEKT TIGEH.
A prudent Tiger having observed a
procession bearing the remains of a
j sainted Brahmin to the tomb,communij
cated :he intelligence to his wife, who
j said, "My dear, we are almost out of
j meat, and though the deceased, from
the austerities of his pious life, was in
poor condition, I make no doubt that
among his surviving friends we may encounter
others more succulent."
"Miserable Tigress," exclaimed her
lord, "cannotyou see that if we permit
the deceased to bo cannoniscd, pilgrimages
will bo instituted to his tomb,
and the producer and consumer will be
brought together in accordance with
the trne principles of political economy?
Rather let us, then, offer a chromo
for each new pilgrim." This
prudent advice being followed the
Tiger enjoyed a free breakfast table to
the end of his days.
Moral.- Beware of breaking the egg
that hatches the golden goose.
THE WOLF AND THE IiI MB.
A Wolf one day, drinking from a running
stream, observed a Lamb also
drinking from the same stream, at some
t m Li
distance irom mm.
"I liave yet to learn," said the Wolf,
addressing the Lamb with dignified
serverity, "what right you have to
muddy the stream from which I am
drinking."
"Tour premises are incorrect," replied
the Lamb, with blard politeness,
" for if you will take the trouble to examine
the current critically, you will
observe that it flows from you to me,
and that my distarbance of sediment
bere would be, so far as you are concerned,
entirely local."
"Possibly yon are Jight," returned
the Wolf ; " but, if I am not mistaken,
you are the person who, two years ago,
uted some influence against me at the
University."
"Impossible," replied the Lamb;
"two years ago I was not born."
"Ah, well," added the Wolf, comj
posedly, "I am wrongagain; but it must
I convince every intelligent person who
i has listened to this conversation that I
am altogether insane, and consequently
rmt; rpsnnnnihlfi for mv Actions."
With this remark he at once dispatched
the Lamb, and was triumphantly
Acquitted.
Moral.?This fable teaches as how
erroneous may be the popular impression
in regard to the distribution of
alluvium, and the formation of river
deltas.

The following extract is from "A
Hanter's Wanderings in Africa," by
Selous: The huge carcase of the elephant,
or rather what remained of it,
lay on one side, as it had fallen, with
the legs extended. Behind the ribs
and just over the belly the Kaffirs had
peeled oflf a large slab of skin about
three feet f-quare, and through the
trap door thus formed dragged out the
stomach and intestines; they had also
cut out the heart, liver and lungs, so
f:hat what was left was merely a hollow
shell, in the lower part of which the
blood had formed a pool a foot deep.

over with the blood. This is a common
practico among the natives of the
interior of Africa whenever large game,
sucn a& elephants or rhinoceroses, are
killed, particularly if they hrppen to

they imagine that this bath of blood
gives them courage or not I cannot say.
They do not wash it off again, but let

EXCITEMENT Iff ROCHESTER.
The Copimotfoj Cuwd by the Statcmeui
An unusual article from the Rochester, N.
; Y., Democrat and Chronicle, was republished
In this paper recently, and ha* been the subject
of much conversation both in professional
I circles and on the street. Apparently it caused
| even more commotion in Rochester, as the folI
lowing from the same paper shows:
; Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well known not
| only in Rochester but in nearly every part of
! America, sent an extended article to tbis paper
! a few dap since which was duly published, de'
tailing bis remarkable experience and rescue
! from what seemed to be certain death, it
i would be impossible to enumerate the personal
[ inquiries which have been made at our office
; as to the validity of the article, but they have
been so numerous that further investigation of
' the subject was deemed an editotial necessity.
With this end in view a representative of this
paper called on Dr. Henion, at bis residence on
St. Paul street, when the following interview
occurred: " That article of yours. Doctor, has
created quite a whirlwind. Are the statements
about the terrible condition you were in, and
the way you were resoncd such as you can sus
tain 7"
"Every one of them 'and many additional
ones. Few people ever get bo near the grave
as 1 did and then return, and I am not surprised
that the publio think it marvelous. It
was marvelous."
"How in the world did you, a physician,
oome to be brought bo low ?"
"By neglecting the first and moat simple
symptoms. I did not think I was sick. It is
true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most
of the time; could eat nothing one day and was
ravenous the .next; felt dull indefinite pains
and my stomach was out of order, but I did not
think it meant anything serious."
" But have these common ailments anything
to do with the fearful Bright's disease which
took so firm a hold on you ?"
" Anything ? Why, they are the suie indications
of the first stages of that dreadful malady.
The fact is, few people know or realize
what ails them, and I am sorry to say that too
few physicians do either."
"That is a strange statement, Doctor."
"But it is a true one. The modical profession
have been treating symptoms instead of
diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased.
Wo doctora have been clipping off the twigs
when we should strike at the root. The symptoms
I have just mentioned or any unusual
- ~ 9 n nnfll a
ACtlOH Ur irniAllUU Ut UiO nowi vunuuvu uiut
cate the approach of Bright'a disease even
more than a eoagh announces the coming of
consumption. We do not treat tho cough, but
try to help the lnnga. We should not waste
our time trying to relieve the headaohe, stomach,
pains about the body or other symptoms,
but go directly to the kidneys, the source of
most of these ailments."
" This, then, is what yon meant when you
said that more than one-half the deaths whioh
occur arise from Bright's disease, is it, Doctor ?
"Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases
are torturing people to-day, when in reality it
is Bright'B disease in some one of its many
forms. It is a Hydra-headed monster, and the
slightest symptom should strike terror to every
one who has them. I can look back and recall
hundreds of doaths which physicians at the
time declared were caused by paralysis, apoplexy,
heart disease, pneumonia, malarial
fever and oilier common complaints, which I
see now were caused by Bright'a disease."
"And did all these cases have simple symptoms
at first ?"
'"Every one of them, and might have been
cured as I was by the timely use of tho same
remedy?Warner'B 8afe Kiilney and Liver Cure.
I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in
this matter, and think I am helping others to
see the facts and their possible danger also.
Why, there are no end of truths bearing on this
subject. If you want to know more about it
go and see Mr. Warner himself. He was sick
tho same as I, and is the healthiest man in
Rochester to-day. He has made a study of
this subject ana can give you more facta nan
I can. Go, too, and see Dr. Lattimore, the
chemist, at the University. Ifyou want facta
thero are any quantity of them showing tho
alarming increase of Bright's disease, its
simple and deceptive symp;oms,and that there
is but one way in which it oan bo escaped."
Fully satisfied of tho truth and force of tho
Doctor's words, the reporter bade him goodday
and called on Mr. Warner at his establishment
on Exchange streot. At first Mr. Warner
was inclined to be reticent, but learning that
the information desired was about the alarming
increase of Bright's disease, li s manner
changod instantly and he spoke very earnestly:
"It is true that Bright's disease has inj
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
' statistics, that in the past ten years its growth
J has been 250 per cent. Look at the prominent
i men It has carried off: Everett, Sumner,
j Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven and
others. This is terrible and snows a greater
growth than that of any other known comJ
plaint It must be plain to every ono that
i something must be done to cheok this increase
j or there is no knowing where it may end."
" Do yon think many people aro afflicted with
j it to-day who do not realize it, Mr. Warner ?"
1 "Hundreds of thousands. I have a striking
i example of this trijth which has just come to
! my notice. A prominent professor in a New Or|
leans medical college was lecturing before his
I class on the subject of Bright's disease. Ho
had various fluids under microscopic analysis,
and was showing tho students what the indications
of this terrible malady were. In order to
draw the contrast between healthy and unhealthy
fluids he had provided a vial, the coni
tents of which were drawn from his own person.
'And now, gentlemen,' he said, 'as we
have seen the unhealthy indications, I will
show you how it appears in a state of perfect
1 health,' and he submitted his own fluid to the
! usual test. As he watched the results his
: countenance suddenly changed?his color and
i command both left him, and in a trembling
j voice he said: 'Gentlemen, I have made a pain|
ful discovery; J have Bright's disease of tho
! kidneys,' and in lees than a year he was dead."
"You believe, then, that it has no symptoms
of its own, and is frequently unknown even by
' the pereon who is afflicted with it ?"
"it has no symptoms of ita own and very
I often none at all. Usually no two people have
I the same symptoms, aod frequently death is
the first symptom. The slightest indications of
: any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike
| terror to any one. I know what I am talking
: about, for I have been through all the stages ol
i kidney disease."
" You k now of Dr. Henion's case ?"
; " Yes, I have both read and heard of it."
"It is very wonderful, is it not ?"
j u A very prominent oase, but no more so than
j a great many others that have come to my notice
as having been cured by tho same meanB."
"You believe, then, thatBright's disease can
I be cured."
j . "I know it can. I know it from the experi;
ence of hundreds of prominent persons who
' were giv?n up to din by both iheir physicians
j and frieu.'-'."
"You b; !t of yonr own experience, what
! was it ?"
j " A fearful one. 1 hod felt languid and uni
fitted for business for vears. But I did not
know what ailed me. When, however. I found
j it was kidney difficulty I thought there was
little hope, and so did the doctors. I have
| since jearnea iuai uuo ui mo jjujuiuisub ui iuis
I city pointed me out to a gentleman on the
street one day, saying: 'Thore goes a man wbo
will bo dead within a year.' I believe bis
words would have proven true if I had not fortunately
secured and used the remedy now
known as Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver
! Cure."
i "And thia caused you to manufacture it ?"
i * "No, it caused me to investigate. I went to
i the principalities with Dr. Craig, the discov!
erer, aud saw the physicians prescribing and
| using it, and saw that Dr. Craig was unable,
: with bis facilities, to supply the medicine to
thousands who wanted it. I therefore determined,
as a duty I owed humanity and the
suffering, to bring it within their reach, and
now it is known in every part of America, is
| sold in every drug store and has become a
| household necesjity."
Tho reporter left Mr. Warner, much imEreaaed
with the earnestness and sincerity of
is statements, and next paid a visit to Dr. S.
| A. Lattiniorc at his residence on Prince street,
i Dr. Lattimore, although busily engaged on
j some matters connected wi!h the 8tate Board
I of Health, of which ho is one of the analystn,
i (Courteously answered the questions that \, en
propounded to him:
"Did you make a chemical analysis of th<
case or Mr. H. H. Warner some three yean
ago, Doctor ?"
"Y?s, sir."
1 "What did the analysis show you ?"
; "The presence of albumen and tube casts it
! great abundance."
j "And what did the symptoms indicate ?"
" A s&iious disease of the kidneys."
i "Did you think Mr. Warner could recover
i " No, sir; 1 did not think it possible. It wm
seldom, indeed, that bo pronounced a case had,
I up to that time, ever been cured."
J "Do you know , anything about the remedj
; which cured him ?"
"Yes. I have chemically analyzed it, and
upon critical examination find it entirely free
! from any poieonous or deleterious substances."
} We publish the foregoing statemeuts in view
I of the commotion which tho publicity of Dr.
! Henion'a article has caused and to meet the
| protestations which have been made. '1 he
standing of Dr. Hcnion, Mr. Warner and Dr.
Lattimoro in the community is beyond question,
, and the statements they'make cannot for a
j moment be doubted. They conclusively show
! that Bright'a disease of the kidneys ih one ol
< tho most deceptive and dangerous of all (lisi
eases, that it isexccodingly common, alarmingj
ly increasing, and that it can be cured.
.The Discouraged Man.
j A newspaper once contained au ad
| vertisement for a man to fill a certain
position, which concluded with "No
discouraged man need apply." There
was deep worldly wisdom in this, for
discouragement is a terrible drawback
in lighting life's battle. The discouraged
man is defeated in advance. He
carries failure about with him; he faints
when he needs most to be strong; he
falters where decision is most needed;
! ho halts where ho ought to hurry for|
ward; he cannot stand up under ihe
I strain and burden of the race. It is
hard that it should be so?harder still
. that so little real sympathy is felt for
j discouragement. The world does not
; need such a man, and has little mercy
| for him; and so lie falls into the ranks
I of the unsuccessful, while he of high
; hope, who is yet new in the struggle, j
i who has not supped the bitter cup of
j disappointment and found out that all
: is vanity and vexation, strides before
| him and is accepted whero the much

j contagious in a buoyant, happy, eneri
getic spirit, which carries those who
j como in contact with it away, and snc;
cess is as often the resnlt of this strong
I animal force as of perseverance and conJ
tinued effort. All the experience in the
I dworld will not carry the man of dee
I discouragement successfully through an
5 enterprise.
To enceeed in any of life's endeavors,
be our talents Tvbat they may, we require

The Mote and the Beam.
We notice in an exchange a short an.
ecdote with a point to it. A lady, on
one occasion, upon examining a room
which had not long before been put in
order, complained to the servant that
it nroo rlnotTT Thn 1 offer uaid rflnnonf..
fully, "The dust is on your glasses,"
and sure enough, when they had been
removed and carefully wiped, the room
put on quite another aspect Ho w very
wide is the application that can be
made of such an anecdote, and yet it is
really only an extract from the Sermon
on the Mount We see it in our Lord's
words respecting the mote and the
beam. Objects change according to
the media through which they are examined,
just as tbe chemeleon?and
there are many like them?takes its hue
from the tree it happens to be on. The
monster that we see in the moon is
often but the fly upon the glass of the
telescope. There is much wisdom in
the exhortation to be slow to speak and
slow to wrath. Burns taught the same
lesson when he said:
" What's done we partly may compute,
But not what's resisted."
A curious application of electricity is
now employed in the Spanish army.
Conscripts wishing to escape military
service have, it seems, often resorted to
the trick of bending the body while

kind is the object of the new device.
When the man is standing perfectly
erect the backs of the legs at the

The ringing ceases when there in the

Jeremiah Wbioht, of Marlon County, W. V*.,
writes ua that Lis wife had I'clmonabt Consumption,
and was pronounced inccbablk by their physician,
when the use of Allen's Lung Balsam entirely
cured hee. He writes that he and his
neighbors think it the best medicine in the world.
wm. C. Dioqes, Merchant of Bowline Green, V*.,
writes, April 4,1881, that he wants us to know that
the Lunq Balsam has Cubed His Moth eh or Cossumption,
after the physician had Riven her np as
incurable. He says others, knowing her case, have
taken the Balsam and been cured; he thinks all so
afflicted should give it a trial.
Da. Mxbedhh, Dentist of Cincinnati, waa thought
to be in the Last Stages or Consumption, and waa
induced bv his friends to try Allen's Lung Balaam ?
after the formula waa shown him. We have his let*
ter that it at once cured his cough and that he was
able to resume his practice.
Wm. A. Graham k Co., Wholesale Druggists,

Freeman, a well-known citizen, who had been
afflicted with Bronchitis in its worst form for
twelve years. The Lung Balsam enrod him, as It
has many others, of Bronchitis. v
