SHERIFF HOFFMAN returned from Chautauqua last week because he had taken no overcoat with him. He states that visitors up there had their overcoats on most of the time. MRS. GARFIELD, to this time, has never given up hope and faith in the President's recoyery. As each crisis comes she seems to rise equal to the occasion and falters not at any emer gency. AT the Saxonburg harvest home last week a principal amusement was shoot ing at a target, 153 yards. John E. Muder, Esq., of Saxonburg, proved the best marksman and won the prize, a ailver goblet... He was consequently declared the King, according to the rulefl of the Scheutzenfest. We are indebted to Judge "Agnew for a pamphlet copy of his address before the Literary Societies of Roa noke College, Virginia, June 12,1881." It is very interesting and instruct ive. A portion of it will be found up on the first page of the CITIZEN this week. "ALL signs fail in dry wealher," is an old saying, and is proving true hereabouts at present. On several days past it looked as if we might be favored with rain, but none has visited us as yet. As a consequence vegeta tion and fall crops continue to suffer. A good rain is now needed and the prayer is that it may soon come. THE Democratic Herald of this place Entered upon its fortieth volume last week. Mr. Ziegler, the present Sen ior editor, with the late James Mc- Glaughhn, deceased, established the paper thirty-nine years ago, as he an nounces in the Herald of last week. It has passed through a number of hands since then, among them that of the Writer of this, and finally settled back into the hands of Mr. Ziegler, one .of the original proprietors. We con gratulate him on the present prosperi ty of the paper. REUNION. A joint reunion of the 101 st and 103 rd Regts. Pa., Vet.

C. will hold their reunion at same time and place, and a joint meeting of the four organizations is expected to be held at 8 o'clock s?,rae evening. Excursion rates can be had. HOPE ALMOST GONE. The apparent improvement of Presi dent Garfield during last week again revived our hopes. But at this writ ing, Monday, it seems to be hoping against hope. The news is bad. Any hour may tell us he is dead. It is needless now, we fear, to discuss any symptom in his case. The solicitude of all the people—the tender anxiety with which they have watched every - varying change in his struggle for life, has been unexampled in all our history. Their hopes have risen or fallen as it were with the rise or fall in the beats of his pulse. His recuperative powers have been wonderful. But it looks as if they must succumb to the work of the assassin's bullet. Yet, as while there is life there is hope, let us continue to hope on. NIQHT POLICE. The robbery of the Roessing store last Saturday night again brings to the notice of our citizens the necessity of having a night police in this place. We have for some time past been at the mercy of professional tramps, and noth ing will give the town security from them but a special watchman during the night. No officer of the law is re quired to be up while the citizens are asleep, and hence the Town Council should immediately take action and supply a want necessary for the safety of all. We are informed that in all the surrounding towns, of the popula tion we have, they have night watches, and the mere fact that they have is supoosed to deter thieves and burglars from visiting those towns. Where they know that a town is in this way guarded they are not so likely to go. Fear of detection prevents them. But where they know a town is not so guarded there they will the more likely operate. Our stores, shops and houses should be under the eye of some one, .during the dead hours of the night and the subject is a proper one for the con- | sideration of our Town Council. As the country appears to be full burglars wo hope early action will be taken in this matter. The President's First Letter. Thursday, two weeks ago, the Presi dent asked for a pencil and paper. These were furnished him and he wrote the following: WASHINGTON, D. C., August 11,1881. DF.AK MOTHER: —Don't be disturbed by conflicting reports about ray condition. It is true I am still weak and on mv back ; but I am gaining every day, and need only time and patience to bring me through.

A. great deal of excitement aud sympathy is manifested at the recent news of the unfavorable symtoms in the condition of President Garfield. In no commu nity has more active interest been indi cated in the fate of the heroic sufferer than in this ancient capital.

GLADE MILLS, BUTLER C 0.,) August 19, 1881 ) EDITORS CITIZEN: —The people in the vicinity of Clinton U. P. Church, and surrounding townships, had quite a treat in the way of a Musical Enter tainment by Squire Davis and his well trained class of singers, accompanied by Professor Keoine and Mrs. Xorris as organists, Augustave Weikenhaug en on the Clarionet, himself and Har vey Love as Violinests, and Mr. Geo. B. Davis on the Bass Violin. The Squire, having taught singing classes in the different townships around, U'itb credit to himself, and profit to the community, it was the desire of many that he should hold a concert for his own special benefit Monday evening, the 15th of August, was appointed for the meeting The church was filled to overflowing, seats having to be placed in the isles to accommodate the vast audience. Old men with their life long companions were there ; and young men with their lady loves by their sides. It seemed to be a most beauti ful blending of the past with the pres ent and a hopeful lookout for the future of both Church and State. The sacred music, sung and played together with odes, anthems and songs, patriotic and otherwise, was all that» could be desir ed, and certainly it was a feast for all lovers of music. It was a credit to the community to see such an assemblage of young men and maidens, old men and children, seeming toenjoy so much pleasure and using so much gentility and decorum ; and the thought of one at least was, Thanksgiving and Praise to Almighty God that in his kind prov idence we are permitted to live in such a country and at such a time. The af fair was a complete success, netting over fifty dollars. SPECTATOR. Kherifl's Sales.

In respect to the popular notion that coffee is an unhealthy beverage, that keeps up constant irritatiou of the stomach and brings on depression of spirits, etc., Dr. Richardson, the well known English scientist, while admit ting that the article cannot be taken in excess without producing dyspepsia and irritaiion, nevertheless asserts that, moderately used, it is an invigorating, healthful aud wholesome drink, bring ing a man's best energies into play. On the otuer hand, Dr. Bock, of Leip sic, an eminent authority, declares that the nervousness aud peevishness of our times are chiefly attributable to tea and coffee, these producing a chronic de rangement of the digestive organs. "God Save the President.'" CHAUTAUQUA, August 14.—Yester day was national day at Chautauqua, and General Howard, Commander at West Point presided over the platform meetings. Dr. Vincent read letters from Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, Secreta ry of War, and ex-President Hayes, and read also an address made by Pres ident Garfield at this place a year ago. The reading was tumultuously applaud ed. Dr. Vincent said it was worth something to have the privilege of reading such broad, generous utter ances, made in the midst of a hot polit ical campaign, from the lips of a man who was afterwards struck down by an assassin and now lies upon a bed of pain, upborn by the prayers of the na tion. Gen. Howard was introduced and the audience greeted him with the Chautauqua salute, the waving of white handkerchiefs The orator of the day, ex-Yice Presi dent Schuyler Colfax, in a prelude to his lecture on Abraham Lincoln, said he knew as he spoke to them their hearts would be turned toward him who for six long and weary weeks had suffered sp uncomplainingly and so bravely on his bed of pain ancj peril at Washington. The shot fired by the wretch who waylaid him at the rail road depot at Washington, aud who lacked even the brigand's manliness of meeting his unsuspecting victim face to face, echoed around the globe. Wicjied as was that fearful shot it uni ted all partie3, all creedsi, all sections in our land. More than this, it has taught us more of our President than we ever knew before. We see him facing deatb with more than the cool ness of a veteran. We see him submis sive to whatever may be the result, while all over the land is excitement and indignation. On the afternoon of the day he was shot saying to his physicians "God's will be done if my time has come lam ready to go." But I believe God intends to answer the nation's prayer and save him for his nation and for mankind, as well as for the noble wife who nursed him back into life from death's door, and who now ministers to him so bravely. I know all these thousand join with me and with millions all over the republic in the prayer of "God save the Presi dent." A Remarkable Reroltit ion. The success of the Literary Revolu tion in producing a Cyclopedia, the largest ever published in this country, in large type, well printed and buund, nt the nominal cost of sls, seemed to the majority of book-buyers so remark able, that the second Literary Revolu tion, which reduces the cost of this most excellent work to $lO, seems al most incredible The facts of the case are, however, made so evident anr} so reasonable, that there can be no ques tioning them. We have in this office some of the volumes which demonstrate their superior character in every way, and the facts and figures which were published in an article in this paper last week, under the title of "A Second Literary Revolution," show very clear ly, though very surprisingly, how it is possib'e to make such an extremely valuable and costly Cyclopaedia acces sible to the masses at such a trifling cost. To remove any possible incredulity which might exist in the minds of some that this is only a plausible scheme for getting a large amount of money in small sums from a great many individ uals, in return for books which might never be delivered, the publishers do not require auy payment whatever in advance. You may, if you please, sim ply send your order by postal card, and make no payment except upon the delivery of the goods tbeniselyes, and after you have examined them and found them satisfactory. Orders should be sent to the publishers at once, in or der to secure the special terms given during the mouth of August. —ln Union City, Crawford county, a young man named Joseph Fahey, who a few days ago shot himself with a toy pistol through the hand, died of lock-jaw. This is the second case in that place within the past two weeks. The penalty for selling this dangerous little weapon, is sufficient to entirely stop the trafic, if enforced. Why not attend to it? We think our dealers have discontinued the business of their l own accord, A GLOOMED OUTLOOK. ! THE FUFJIDEXT 11.48 AXO'I'II Kit M'FI.I, OF VONII'IXO. THE DOCTORS ATTRIBUTE IT TO i'MI.HI.M IN j Till: THROAT—THE GLANDULAR SWEL LING A VERY SERIOUS COMPLICA TION —C.KKAT ANXIETY AND EX CITING RUMORS AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. WASHINGTON, August 21.—The apprehen sion that the President would not get through his unlucky day without another relapse has been unhappily verified. There was an air of Uneasiness in the morning bulletin which started public anticipation anew, and the con tents of the second report at mid day were not reassuring. They were the subject of general gossip during the day, and the public seemed to grasp by instinct what it could not ascertain by facts. There was considerable anxiety to see what the evening bulletin would have to say, and it was hoped that more favorable indi cations would appear. For a little while late in the afternoon a rumor got abroad that the President was dead. This was occasioned by the reports ot a cannon at the navy yard, or distant thunder. It has been announced that minute guns would be fired if the President died, and in the remote parts of the city it was really believed for a time that the dreaded end had come. All these causes tended to excite the public mind anew. An hour before the evening bulletin was is sued a large crowd gathered in front of the Executive Mansion, at the various places where the bulletins are usually displayed, and little knots congregated on the sidewalk iu the vicin ity of the Treasury. When the report was out the popular fear was found to be only too well founded. The bulletin showed that the Presi dent had vomited and that no more use can be made of his stomach at (present. It fell on the public like a cold shower bath. The greatest uneasiness prevails to-night over the startling turn of affairs. The doctors explain that the vomitiug is not from gastric disturbance, but from the constant accumulation of phlegm in the throat. The phlegm arises from the glandu lar swelling in the neck. It makes very little difference, so far as the patient is concerned, whether he is debarred from food by reason of phlegm or gastric dis turbance. The fact remains to-night that he cannot take auy more food in the natural way until the cause is removed. It is said that the President is constantly choking and has the hacking cough which characterizes the last stages oi consumption. The case is looked upon as more desperate to-niirht. It is evident that the doctors think the same thin?, as they keep out of the way, and nows cannot be ob tained. The glandular inflammation has stiff ened the muscles of the neck to such a degree that the patient cannot open his mouth more that half an inch, and has something like lock jaw. lie coughs continually and complains of the phlegm choking him, and he cannot talk above a whisper. The parotid gland swelling defies tbe combined efTorU of the doctors. These are the cold facts which must be borne iu mind by the country in summing up the case. Great depression prevails here to-night, and the encouragement of the doctors goes for nothing. It is believed by nine out of every 10 that there is but oue result, and that result must come soon. DR. BLISS' OPINION. WASHINGTON, August 21. —To-night's bul letins staling that the President had vomited twice this.afternoon was a surprise to the pub lic and has had a somewhat depressing effect. The surgeons have said of late that the Presi dent's recovery depended upon his stomach; that if it would retaiu nourishment enough to impart strength final lecoverv might be hoped for. In yieff of this statement of the case, another spell of vomiting is regarded generally as a most unfavorable symptom. Dr. Bliss says, however, that the vomiting did not pro ceed'from nauseau, and therefore does not in dicate irritability of the stomach. He says that owing to the swelling of the paro tid gland, a mucous collection gathers in the President's throat which it has been difficult for hiro to expel ; that this has caused the President considerable annoyance for two dayq past and when he sleeps this gathering ot phlegm in his throatcauses a rattling; that to day efforts to expel phlegm caused a violent spell of coughing which ended in vomitiug, and that the second vomiting followed a tit of coughing, but not immediately. Uliss says that the vomiting came about two hours after the nourishment had beeu take into the stom ach and that there was no nausea whatever, and all the evidences, he says, goes to show that the stomach performs its functions and is comparatively free from irritability- He said that although satisfied the vomiting was caus ed by the mucous collection and the coughing, it had been decided to give the stomach a short rest and that fio piorp nourjshijient wijl be put into it for a few hours ; that enemilta, will be depended upon entirely to sustain the Presi dent until it is entirely safe to resume giving food by the mouth ; that as the stomach has had this strain, it is better not to risk irritating it any with food. He says this statement of tne cause of vomiting was not included iu the bulletin because it would liave required too much explanation to make it understood, and would have extended the bulletin into a lengthy document. That the doctors consider ed the advisability of making this explanation in the bulletin, but concluded to simply state the fact that vomiting had occurred. He says the first vomiting discharged the contents of the stomach but the second expelled abopt foijr ounces of bile and this cleaned the stomach out. The swelling of the glapd, is hardened and is preparing to supperate. The surgeons think it will not be iu condition to cut iu less than four or five days. The last spell of vomiting was at 5:15 P. M. and up to 9:30 there had not been any more, so a message then received from one of the doctors said_ Despite the explanation given of the cause of VOID iting thire is a 'general disposition here to take a glloopiy of tfie case. The marked reticence of the surgeons on attendance of the President to-night tend to increase this feeling. They have remained shut up in rooms near the President except that two or three of the attendants passed through the private Secre tary's office, but they would not say anything about the case. Efforts to 'get even a word from Pr. Agnew failed. He declined to be seen or semt any message as to his opinion simply referring inquirers to the bulletins. Whenever the Presidsnt appears to be doing well it is not difficult to see the surgeons and attendants. To-night the members of the Cabinet met at the White House, and they have remained close in the Cabinet room. There is a signifi cant quiet prevailipg at the House. The countenances ofthe inmates there indicate a feeling of uneasiness, to say the least. There is a fear prevalent that the President is too weak to be nourished much longer by enemata, although Dr. Bliss says this method has so far proved eminently successful, and that the Pres ideiit really gains strength from it. OFFICIAL STATEMENTS OF THE CONDITION OF IHE PRESIDENT. EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 21—7:30 A. M.—lnformation received from the si<:k room this morning is in substance that the President slept considerable during the night, but with more frequent intervals of wakefulness during the fore part of the night than on the night previous. His pulse early this morning was reported by the physicians to be about 100, and his temperature apparently about normal. No definite information can yet lie obtained con cerning the progress of glandular swelling dur iug the night. In the early part of the nigh 1 it was very probably the cause of some restless ness shown bjr the President. EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 21—8:30 A. M.—The President awoke more frequently than usual, yet slept sufficiently during the night and appears comfortable this morning ( The parotid swelliug is about the same, but it is uot painful. He took liquid nourishment by the mouth several times during the night as well as the morning. Pulse lOti, temperature 98>, respiration 18. Signed by the surgeona. EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 21.— 12:'.0 P. M.—The President's condition continues about us at the morning bulletin, except that there is : a slight rise of temperature. He continues to take liquid nourishmeht by mouth as well as by enemata. Pulse 103, temperature 99.4, res piration 18. Signed by the surgeons. EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 21—6:30 P. M. —The President has vomited twice during the afternoon. The administration of tood by the mouth has therefore been temporarily sus|>eud ed, and the nutritive enemata will be given more frequently. His temperature is lower and his pulse rather less frequent than yesterday afternoon. The parotid swelling is painless but stationary. Pulse 108, temperature 99.2, respiration 18. Signed by the surgeous. EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 21—9:3) P. M. — There has been no vomiting siuce 5:15 P. M., but there is great auxiety. A change for the better or worse is expected to-morrow morning. TO MINISTER LOWELL. EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 21,—The fol lowing was sent to-night: To Loicelt, Minister, London: The President's sleep last night was broken and unrestful; his symptoms throughout the day have been less favorable, and his general condition is not eiicourageing. He is unable to retain food on his stomach, having vomited twice during the afternoon, the last time at 5 o'clock. This evening he has been able to drink water and retain it. The swelling of the parotid gland has not increased. Pulse and temperature about the same as yesterday. His sleep up to this hour, 11 P. M., has been somewhat disturbed. We are all deeply anx ious. BLAIXE, Secretary. EXECUTIVE MANSION, August 22 —1:45 A. M.— Everthing is quiet in the sick room. The doctors are asleep, and indications are that the President is resting quietly. TUESDAY. Yesterday, Tuesday morning, news was not quite so discouraging. The President took during Monday more nourishment at the mouth than for any day for the past week. He slept tolerably Monday uight and up to the latest we have. Tuesday noon appears to be some easier A Detective's Work Captain R. J. Linden, Superintend ent of the Pinkerton Detective Agency in this city, reached his home on North Twenty-second street last evening with, iu a figurative sense, the scalps of eight Mollie Maguires dangling at bis belt Duiiug the last six weeks, save for a few rare intervals, he has been burrowing around in Fayette coun ty, siearching for clews to the prepetra tors of the brutal mqrder coptinittpd in Dunbar on June 26 last, of which Maurice Healy, manager of the Dun bar furnaces, and a man of influence, in that region, was the victim. With no other disguise than a change of name and of clothing, Captain Linden has been daily and nightly associating himself with men of a most dangerous type, who would not have hesitated at murder had they penetrated his identi ty. Fortune, however, smiled upon his task, and as a result the men whose hands it is believed are stained with the blood of Maurice Hearly will be called upon to answer at the Bar of Justice for the crime. The investigations made by Captain Linden leave no doubt of the fact that although crushed in nearly every other part of the State the infernal order of Mollies has been flourishing in Fay ette, and fully one hundred are loca«cd around Uniontown and Dunbar. How lightly they look upon the value of human life is shown by the fact that the sole piotive for the cripie was fjea* ly's opposition to certain men procur ing licenses for the sale of liquor iu Dunbar. He was a good employer, liberal and genial to his workmen, and held in high esteem throughout the neighborhood. All his good qualities, however, availed him nothing when he bad once incured the hatred of the murderous band, and his life paid the forfeit. Ever since the crime was committed a general feeling of dread and insecurity has pervaded the neigh borhood, and fears have been entertain ed that the murder was intended otily as the initial one of many. A tpw days ago John Kane, one of the arrest ed men, approached Mr. R. J. Carter, a prominent merchant of Dunbar, who is believed to have been marked as the next victim of the band of assassins, and, gnashing his teeth, made a move ment as if to draw a revolver. He was seized, however, by a bystander and hurried away. A few nights later Kane and several of of his com rades were observed lurking in the darkness around Carter's store and exchanging signals. Kane has just crouched down underneath a wagon in a position where he commanded a full view of the merchant, when he became aware that his actions were observed, and at {in evidently preconcerted sig-. nal the gang took to flight. A little while afterward Kane and some of his comrades brutally beat a man for ex pressing the opinion that the murderers of Healy should be caught and hang ed. So secretly did Captain Linden con duct his operations that even the coal and Iron Police in the region were not aware that he was among them. When all was ready on Friday morn ing a squad of the police was detailed to go to the mines and capture the suspected men, while Captain Linden went in person to arrest Kane, who is the most dangerous and powerful one of the crowd. Contrary to tions, howeve, he took the matter quietly, and readily consented to go with tbe detective. He is 33 years old, stout in build, with heavy jaws and sensual lips and a generally cun ning depression of the countenance. James McFaraland is 17 years old, six feet in height and weighs 154 pouids. Patrick Dolan and W.llogan are 22 years old, and small in stature. Mike Dolan and Billy Floyd are tall and brawny, the former being 20 and the latter i 7. Martin Douahoo is 40 years old, tall, and has a pleasing manner. John N. ("Buck") Collins is the most dangerous-looking one of the party with the exception of Kane. He is short and powerful looking, and hi*s a peculiarly sinister expression of coun tenance. Until the hearing on habeas corpes, whico takes place on Friday, the facts which conuect the prisoners with the murder will not be revealed. Captain Linden says, however, that he has evidence of their connection with a well-organized and dangerous conspir acy, that be has sufficient testimo ny to convict the accused. 'The mur der," he said, 'was one of the most cold-blooded which has ever been perpptratpd iu tfie bistpry of Mpliip Maguireism, and when you recollect the previous crimes committed by tbe Order that is savin? a great deal." Until tbe Philadelphia men put in an appearance on the scene the local au thorities maintained an apathetic con dition, in the belief that the murder was so well planned that it would be impossible to get down to the crimi nals.— Phila. Record. Gnilean'f* Part lonian* of liirt Allcmpt to 14.i1l ilit* Guard. WASHINGTON, August 17—It is evi dent now that tbe warden of the jail here not only concealed the facts, but | misrepresented them, about the assault of Guiteau ou a guard this morning The only motive fjr this misrepresen tation that can be conceived is that the warden wanted to protect himself and assistants from the appearance of hav ing been lax with Guiteau and of hav ing permitted him to get possession of a deadly weapon. Wardeu Crocker was interviewed about the affair, and made the follow ing statement: 'There is not much to it,' he said 'About half-past four o'clock this morning, as th-j guard was passing Guiteau's cell, he saw Guiteau at thf window, and asked him what he was doing there. Guiteau did not give him any satisfactory answer.' HOW IT HAPPENED. 'The guard went into the cell to see what was up, and Guiteau turned upon him and clinched with him, and in the struggle the guard's pistol was dis charged. The ball went out of tbe 1 door and struck the dead-wall opposite. There was nobody hurt' 'Did not Guiteau cut the guard ?' 'He did not; neither the nor Guiteau was hurt. Why, Guiteau did not have anything to cut him with.' •Was there no shoe-shank in the i cell?' 'No,' replied the warden, and contin uing be said, illustrating with bis band : 'Suppose tbis to be the cell and tbat the passage. There is the dead wall which the bullet struck when the pistol was discharged. It hit the wall that separates the passages.

When be clinched, >lcGill, an other guard, came to his assistance. ,Did the struggle last long?' asked the reporter. 'No ; it was all over in half a minute; quicker than it takes to tell it. But be fore they were parted the pistol was discharged.' 'The assault, than, was made by Guiteau ?' 'Yes; as the guard went into the cell Guiteau turned upon him and clinched him.' 'Has Guiteau been all morose or silent ?'inquired the reporter. •No; there have been no manifesta tions or appearance of moroseness- Yesterday he was a little more excited than he has been for two or three weeks ; in fact he was considerably ex cited. 'Do you think he knew anything about the President's condition 1" 'He had no news from the President at all, so far as we kuow. lie may have imagjupd that the F-resident was worse, but he had no actual knowledge ofthe President's condition.' 'Does Guiteau say anything about the assault?' 'No. I went into his cell before I left the jail last night aud had a con versation with him. That was about seven o'clock. He was somewhat ex cited, perhaps, but expressed himself as reeling very well. I told him to quiet down, get into bed and go to sleep. He said he felt as well as he ever did in his life. lustead, as I have stated, that he was a little excit ed ; his coLduct was a little unusual.' 'How is he now ?' 'Jle is calm and aaiet this morning and says that he did not intend to hurt the guard.' 'Has he made no explanation what ever ?' •No ;he has said nothing. I think he was offended because the guard en tered his cell so abruptly. I do not think he was trying to injure himself or get out of his cell.' 'Was there any weapon found in his ceil ?' 'There was no weapon of any kind or description found. He would make no attempt to escape,' added the war den. 'lt would be just as futile as an attempt to jump over the moon. He has no meahs with wbipfo tQ attempt to escape.' 'Has any more rigorous measures been taken since this attempt?' 'The guards lock after bim constant ly, but no more constantly than before, to prevent him from injuring bim&elf.' DANDER OF HANUINO. 'The only way he could injure him self, said Captain Vernor, who was standing by, 'would be by hanging himself, tearing up his bed clothing for a halter.' •He has not torn his blanket or clothing or anything,' said the warden; 'he is constantly under the eye of the guards. I suppose his nervous condi tion mierht haye made him a little resi less, au3 when the guard went iu to see him I suppose Guiteau thought it an intrusion, and clinched with him. He imagined the guard had no •busi-' ness there perhaps.' 'Then,' said the reporter, 'there is nothing in the shop sliauk story ?' 'When he came to the jail he had a pair of shoes like these ?' said the war den, pointing to his own. 'They were taken from him and we gave him a pair of jail shoes which have no shanks.'

Guards Dutton and Jones hy this time appeared, aud Gui teau was secured. They then searched for the knife, and seeing something un der his foot they picked it up. It was what his technically known in jail par lance as 'a cheeser,' made of the steel shank of a shoe, five or six inches lonjr, ground down to a good edge, with paper and twine wrapped around one end as a handle. Another oue of the guards s'atea positively that Guiteau had a knife, and tried to cut McGill. Meantime Quiteau remains In his prison cell. So far as is known he is ignorant of the condition of the President. He occu pies the cell in which he was first placed, which is 30 situated that when ever he comes to a window he is seen by one or more of the jail officers and by a soldier stationed about 15 feet from it. Whenever the prisioaer goes to the door hp w seen by the officer in charge of the jail, also by a soldier sta tioned near it, and bj other officers in direct line of vision. He is so situated, however, that he may be out of sight of those outside that wing but the rule? of the jail requiring frequent inspections by the officers, there are but short periods of time when he is not seen by some officer. He is not improving in looks, however, and is said by people who have seen him lately to have the cut of a pirate, hi- unprepossessing look, aided by his style of dress—black pants with a colored woolen undershirt —helping to give biui the look of a desperado. In conversation, however, his voice is rather soft and low, and his words are well chosen. A Traveler's Story.
