tbe belief that oats, rye, barley and the

overcome lue Independent movement
aud crush bis enemies. The point Iiub
been reached when Cameron cannot com-
maud bis lieutenants. They are willing
to resort to every measure to keep him
company, but self destruction they will
avoid.
President Arthur shrewd, far-seeing
politician that be is, appreciates thoBeri

talk with Cameron, in which he told him
that he would hold him to strict account-

preceives the folly of counting on sue

has an oye on the Seuntorship, and

THE MAINE SENATORS AND BLAINE.
Tbe Legislature to be elected in Maiue
this autumn will choose n United States
Seuator, Mr. Frye's term expiring. Bi
tween him and Mr. Blaine tbero does not
exist tbo greatest cordiality. There was
at one time good ground for the report
that Blaine hankered for his old seat i
the Senate held by Frye, nnd una quite
disposed to try lor it. But Frye would
not be crowded off tbo track. He is by
all odds the coming man, not in Maine
ouly, but in the tienute, on the Republi
can side. He lias convictions. He will
not prostitute his position to mnk
money, wherein he differs from Blaine as
one extreme lroui the other. He is tbe
superior of Blaine in acquired knowledge
and a better debater, but be has not tbe
industry nor tbe ambition of Bliine.
Few Senators nre more welcome at the
White House than Frye. He feds that
it is so, and muniftsts the leeling when
ever it is proper. II.ilo is also in olobo
relations with Arthur, which is as much
as to sav he is not a dtvoted Blaine man.

simply because wo haven't passed it at

follow a somewhat frequent exnmple.nnd
write it all up before it occurs, but such
a practice is open to grave objections and
contingencies, which may injure a cor

and, bb yon know, there is nothing ho so
much prides himself upon as solid fact
and no prevarication. I get np into the

THE BABY ACT.
If things go on nt the prescut rate, we
shall have to modify tbe time-honored
phrase of "Aciiug like tbe Old Boy," as
applied to various degrees of rascality,
Tbe young boys nre coming to the trout
in crime, and babies nre going iu for
spoils worse than the office holders. In
one day's papers I find uoto of five cases
of juvenile crime. A mature nscal of
nine years was arrested for picking pock
ets. He was so small that the officer had
to hold him up, before the judge could
see him over his desk. Then be was
recognized ns nn "old oflVnder," having
been arrested twice before. He had prob
ably stolen hisuurstB bottle nnd put poi-
b u in his twin brother's colio mixture
There was no uctd of putting laudauuin
In tbe soothing syrup the maker had
donethat already. To brothers, aged
six and eight, broke into a grocery store
and helped themselves to raisins and figs.
They were trashnd and let go, and en
joyed it so much that they ngain broke
into the same store and stole further
plunder. This time it took the form ol
crackers aud cheese. The cheese being
livB'y" helped them to get away without
being caught, but the stomach ache gave
them fits before morning. Grown gray
in sin, they made forcible entry once
more, and this time, to insure having a
good time they stole a watch and chain.
Not being on tbe wstcb, but the watch
being on Hum, they were caught aud
ended their loug career of villainy by be
ing locked np.
John Griffin, a heavy criminal of ten
years, being a shiftless fellow, stole a

The fact Is, tho boys who swarm our
streets are a bad lot, and it isn't always
tbe dlstrersed ones who have tho blackest
souls. Last uighl I met two nicely dress
ed boys of eight nnd ten years, each
smuklug a cheap cigarelte. One of them
stubbed his toe, and immediately ripped
out a string of oatbs that ould Mart tb
perspiration on an army mule, while tl:
other laughed at him. No wonder the
"hoodlums" of eighteen and twenty make
certain pars of the city dangerous for
even an able-bodied inun, if he happens
to have on a decent hat, or displays
watch-chain.
THE DIVES OF HEW TORE.
Don't fear that I am going to follow
the usual custom of "Our own correw-

programme was carried out, I was pro-
d gionsly busy (apparently) iu writinu

were nearly at a snccesslul close, I sunt

the multitudo who were filled with ad

local journalism, who had toiled un
wearieiily from tho rising to the setting
ot tbe sun, only to find their labors scof-
led nt ns being too slow. I trust I re
ceived with b. coming modesty the com
piiments I received ior my "rapid and

the pre-arranged programme was carried
out.
As to the celebration of the Fourth, it
is enough to say that there will be no
military parade, that those who can, will
be ont of town, that if the day is pleas

75,000 to 100,000 people at Conoy Island

ASSORTED SUNDRIES.
James Mason, the American who took
the third prize at the recent Vienna chess
oontest, was formerly a New York news
boy. His first acquaintance with "pawns"
was when he spouted bis jacket to get
money to pass him into the gallery of the
Old Bowery. The tramps bedrooms,
(Maaison and Uuiou Squires)were raided

lolgers wore sent to the Island for six
mouths for vagrancy. Rather too hard

respectable old gentleman who occupies

GOITEAU'h LAST DAT ON EARTH. HIS DY
ING) I RATER. TnE LAST WORDS AND ACTS
OF THE ASSASSIN. THE PRESIDENT'S
DEATH EXPIATED. SCENES AT THE JAIL.
OUR CORRESPONDENT'S LAST INTERVIEW
WITH THE CONDEMNED MAN.
The second day of July, 1881, will al
ways occupy a conspicuous place iu his
tory, and as the years roll on the return
of that day of the month will be ccm-
morated as the anniversary of an event
unparalleled in tbe hist iry of tbe coun
try. On that day James Abraham Gar-
Qild, twentieth President of tbe United
Slates, was shot by a vite assassin, and
received wounds which tcsnlted in his
death at Elberon, N. J., seventy-nine
days nltcrward. The world was horrifi
ed at the act. To day the streets resound
with the cry of "Extras" announcing tbc
hanging of tbe murderer. The hanging
of Charles J. Guiteau who has just ex
piated ou the scaffold n crime far greater
than tbnt of regicide, its Bwiftness has
not kept pace perhaps with tbe impatient
chafing of an outraged people for short,
sharp nnd decisive retribution, but tbe
work of the executioner was none the less
unerring nnd inlnlliblo when the hour
which had been named In tho wisdom
and mercy of the court for thocoudemn
ed man's death noted its nr rival upon the
dialporis of the gallows. The country
8'iould be satisfied so far as the accom
plishment of the immediate fact is con
cerned. The atonement has been swift
and suro enough.
At 8 o'clock this morning Dr. Hicks
went in to see the prisoner at his request,
At this time he asked Dr, Hicks if he
could secure Mr. Ituss' consent to take a
bath. Dr. Hicks said that Mr. lluss pro
posed that he take a tub bath in the cell,
He expressed his thankfulness for this,
and then asked Dr. Hicks to go nut to tbe
scaffold aud see that it was all right, nnd
then ask the warden to let tbetrap spring
as soon after 12 o'clock as possible. He
read a poem, which he styles "Religious
Baby Talk," and undertook to sing it
but he broke down, saying "It's no ue
I am uo musician." Then be said: "My
heart is tender, and I don't think I can
go through the ordeal without some
emotion. I suppnte that I will weep.
This, however.ehows no weakness on the
g. eat question that I was inspired; bnt
when a man Is getting near the heavenly
world, it is natural thnt oneshonld have
feeling ns the heavenly influence is per
vading him." He remarked that he was
satisfied that God inspired him to do tbe
act for which he was to suffer. As to his
book,, he asktd that complimentary re.
marks iu reference to tbe administration
be eliminated. He then disposed of his
books, giviug them to Dr. Hicks, and
went over his letters, destroying the nse
less ones nnd giviug Dr, Hicks directions
as to getting them to his funiily, He
then discussed with Dr. Hicks the pro
grams for the execution, stating that he
wished the doctor to offer prayer, and
he would read bis favorite chapter, the
10th chapter of St. John, and follow with"
a prayer and then read ids poem, 1 Sim
plicity,. or Religions Baby Talk," and be
wished tbe trap sprung just as he con.
eluded.
At a few minutes past eloven consul
erablecomm tiou was noticed arolind tbe
entrance to Guiteau's cell and word wns
immediately brought that be had fnintd
dead away. There is no doubt that he
has been nnder n very se-vero pressure o''
self-control for tho past twenty-four
hours and finally nature nsserted herself.
Restoratives of n simplo nature were
quickly applied, nud iu afew minutes the
fainting man wns brought to. His re
covery wns followed by a paroxysm of
sobbing. Dr. Hicks implored him to
make an effort to calm himself rtnil keep
himself in n manly way, but tbe sobbing
continued apparently involuntarily. At
twenty minutes past eleven Guiteau bad
recovered sufficiently from bis fainting
spell to hear the death warrant read, and
fivo minutes later Warden Crocker pro
ceeded to his cell with the paper iu his
hand.. The Warden told the prisoner to
stand np which be did, and the reading
was then commenced. The Warden said
it was bis painful duty to see that the
sentence was carried out. Guiteau re
mained standing and listened with ap
parent composure, shifting about uuensi-
ly at tho last. At the conclusion of the
warden's remarks, which were: "The
year which in its beginning had seen
President Garfield wounded, would, iu
its ending, seethe completion of the trag.v
edy," Gniteau replied: "All right, you
will have to settle the matter with your
God."
On his way to tbe sciffold Guitem
paused at tbo window adjoining the door
which leads to the scaffold, and cast a
longiug glance nt tbe benutilul scene
spread before his vision his last view of
old Mother Earth. Spreadingawny east,
ward from the j-.il is a stretch of beauti
ful green verdure, tbrongh which winds
tbe mirror-like Branch, extending past
orable, ohl Thou Supremo Judge. Woe
unto the men that violate Thy laws; only
weeping nud gnnshlng of teoth await
them, Tbo American press has a Urge
bill to settle with Thec.righteous Father,
for their vindlctlvcncss in this matter.
Nothing but blood be on them and this
Nation aud its officials. Arthur, the Pres
ident, is a coward and an ingrato. His
ingratitude to the man that made him and
saved his party nnd land from overthrow
baa no parallel in history. But Thou,
ricbteons Father, will judge him. Fath
er, Thou ktiowcnt me, but the world both
not known me; but now I go to Tbeo nnd
the Saviour without the slightest ill reel
ing toward a human being. Farewell I

Charles Guiteau.
At 12.28 (be benediction was pronounc
ed. At 12.29 the noose was placed around
his neck by Mr. Strong,one of the guard,
nnd the black cap was then put on. At
12.40 the drop fell, nnd Gultcnn's last
words, as spoken from beneath tbe black
cap were "Glurj I Gloryl" Ab booh as the
trap fell the news was Communicated to
the crowd outside, who cheered loudly
Tbe assassin struggled but slightly after
the drop.md In a few moments he swayed
to aud fro from his weight. There was
scarcely a straggle after the body fell.
At 1.20 p. m. the cords were removed
from bis arms and legs and nt 1.22 tbe
rope was untied where it was fnstened to
the scaffold and the body lowered to tbe
ceiffin. Drs. Reybnrn, Uartigan, Hall,
MoWillinrns, Harrison, Crook nud Young,
Marshall Henry. Warden Crocker, nud
soveral others stood about ns the body
was gently lowered to the coffin, tbe black
cap removed and the hands iolded. Tbe
features wore an expression of pain, but
were not distorted. There was no dis
coloration save a dark red line across the
neck, and the deep lines running down
between tbe eyes, which gave him n
"scowling" look in lile, appeared to be
drawn deeper in death. The eyes, which
were slightly open, weregeutly closed by
tho bands or Dr. Reyburu, nnd the coat
drawn together close about tbe neck to
bide, so far as possible, the mark of the
rope. Old Colonel Ham Strong, who has
adjusted the noose for fifteen or twenty
murderers.says that tbe exi cution of Gui
tean was the most complete affair in all
its details that ho ever saw. "No man,"
said he, "with bis mental faculties ever
died so g.ime." Other old jail officials
say that they never saw n mnn die so easy,
Mnuj outsiders say that no sane man
could have died so calmly. Dr. Mac-
Donald says it was a wouderful death, but
it does not prove either his sanity or in.
sinily.
At a late hour yesterday afternoon,
while the evening rations were being
served to him, nn opportunity was given
to the writer for a brief conversation with
the condemned man. He was lying on
bis pallet dressed only in a light gauze
undershirt and cotton drawers, fanning
himself quite vigorously ns a protection
against flies which seemed toVeunususl
ly thick aud troublesome. For a mon ent
he kept. the fau to his face peering from
behind it to see who tho visitor was, but
on recoguizlng him nodded nud saluted
him iu n light tone of voice nud etify man
ner. Iu answer to tbe writer's stupid
questions as to how he felt.h'o replied, "a
good deal better than those who are hur
rying me to my grave, I want you to re
member, sir," 1im said, calling the writer
by name, "tbnt God will look after this
quartitte nud punish them as they de
serve rur the injury they sre doiug me."
"What quartette doyou menn?" "I mean
the iufamons quartette Corkbill. Crock
er. Russ and tho man who refuses to lis
ten to my petitions." "But neither of
these men could harm you if you are as
you fay, God's man and he is taking
ore of you." Yes was tbe reply, "God
permits a good muiy things to bo done
and then punishes men frr doing them.
I am God's man,, and God will take care
of me, but that wou't help the mon who
are doing me the gre.it wrong. By the
way," he continued, "bav you read my
poetry?" "What poetry?'' "Why my
p etry that wns published in nn evening
piper this week." The visitor confessed
that be had not. "Well, yon fhould read
it, it is good. I have written a lot more,
iicluding a piece on "Fame." "How
can I net hold ot it?" "I passed it till
over to Dr. Hie-ks, He's my literary exe
cutor, aud will see that I am properl
represented." . But very littln nvire was
sai . The prisouer talked wituont rais
