The Centennial Anniversary of
Lord CoruwalllB' surrender was cele
brated last week with considerable
pomp and ceremony, and In the pres
ence of a great concourse of distinguish
ed people. The event commemorated is
one which well deserved the manifesta
tion which were elicited. It was per
haps even more momentous than the
Declaration of Independence itself.
With that declaration a great historic
drama was opened, but the climax is
always more Impressive than the prelude
and it was at Yorktown that the drama
had its close. The independence which
in 1770 was only proclaimed had in 1781
been achieved, and it is from that cir
cumstance that the Yorktown anniver
sary derives its significance. President
Arthur and the other high officers of the
government did well to dignify the cele
bration with their presence, for the sur
render of Lord Cornwallis meant the
establishment of the Union. Many
states sent bodies of troops and nearly
all the states were represented by some
of their officials.
GUITEAU'3 TRIAL.
Washington, October 10. Mr. Sco
ville, Guiteau's counsel, furnishes the
the following:
To the Pubic. The trial of Guiteau is
fixed for November 7. The short time
allowed makes this appeal to the public
necessary. Will the press kindly copy It?
"He attempted to lecture on religious
subjects through several northern states.
is believed there are many people In
at connection who can, if they will,
furnish evidence of his insanity. Will
they not do so in the interests of patriot
ism, justice, humanity and mercy V Pa
triotism, because if he is hung as an
insane man, it will be an eternal blot on
our history ; justice, so that it may not
be said hereafter that he, being deprived
by Heaven of the guidance of reason, was
put to death, contrary to all law, human
and divine; humanity and mercy, that
should prompt the laying aside of pas
sion, and dealing with this case in
Christian charity.
If any person knows of facts bearing on
this question will be not furnish me the
information? No one will be called to
testify, unless it seems to be important
to a just defense and a fair trial. Please
communicate at once with George Sco
ville, Washington, D. C."
A Brutal Crime.
St Loris.Octoler 19. A special from
Long View, Texas,furni8hes particulars
of a revolting crime committed near
Breckviile. A white man named Sloan,
who with his family had moved into the
neighborhood to pick cotton for a Mr.
Hill, had an altercation with a man
named Lum White, and the latter en
deavored to punish Sloan's children.
Being prevented by the .mother and
daughter, a girl of nineteen years of age,
he succeeded in enticing the latter into a
deep ravine,, where, with the assistance
. of his wife, he outraged her ' person.
Then, using his pocket knife, cut her
bowels open lengthwise and across, de
liberately cutting offpieces of the entrails
as they protruded and scattering the
fragments far and near. He then cut
the girl 's throat from ear to ear.
At the inquest White's wife confessed
to all of the revolting details, when a
young man named Hart, Incensed at the
story of fiendish brutality, shot the
negro dead. The wife of Lum and an
old negro man who lived with them were
started on their way to Carthage, but a
crowd met the escort and took the pris
oners out and shot them.
Outrage by Maskers.
The residence of John Miller, a respec-
table planter.llvlng iu Randolph county,
Ark., was visited a few nights ago by
ten or twelve men, who were heavily
armed and wore masks. They surround
ed the dwelling and called loudly for
Miller to come out. Miller was absent
On learning this the, mob entered the
bouse, and taking two boys, aged respec
tively fifteen and elgeteen years, into the
yard they whipped thera iu a terrible
manner. The youngest boy attempting
to escape was fired on, no less than
twenty shots taking ellect on his body,
The- desperadoes after threatening the
lives of Miller's wife and daughter rode
away, remarking that at their next visit
they would clean out the ranche and
kill every one of the family. After they
left Mrs. Miller followed them some
distance without their knowing and
identified some of them. No cause for
the outrage Is assigned. Miller is report
ed to have reached his family without
molestation.
why Julius Fischer Is Wanted.
Inquiries after Julius Fischer, once of
Ilorb, Wurtemberg, have been made by
Frank, Kleruan & Co. of this city. Fisch
er is a young man who fell in love with
a ballet girl in Horb, his native town,
married her, and was disinherited by
his father, a rlelnne reliant. The couple
came to America and sought a paradise
in Kausns abrtut the year 1873. The af
fair was the talk of the residents of Horb
ten years ago. ; but the young couple had
been nearly forgotten, when, not long
ago, interest in them was revived by the
death of a rich relative of young FlBohcr,
leaving him property worth many thous
and dollars. If he does not appear with
in a certain length of time he will be
declared dead by the courts, and thus lose
his legucy.
Grant's Presents.
Mrs. U. S. Grant is busy iu New York
unpacking the numerous cases contain
ing her husband's presents. When Gen.
Grant gave up his house in I street,
Washington, all the presents he had re
ceived up to the present time were pack
ed and stored. He has now eighty-two
cases of valuables to be unpacked. Mrs.
Grant recently said that she really did
not kuow how much the family bad.
The magnificent service of sliver pre
sented by Mexico to General Grant
about the time he became President, and
by him transferred to bis wife, has been
ordered from the vaults of the bank
where it was deposited and will be used
for the first time in what is termed
Grant's New York Palace."
A Printer In a Fix.
Saratoga, Oct. 19. Thomas J. Da
vis, a well known printer, was engaged
to marry a widow in comfortable cir
cumstances in Troy, and recently he
wrote to her asking her forgiveness for
betraying a young girl in this village,
with whom he had compromised. The
widow in answering the epistle declared
that while she loved as dearly as ever,
and freely forgave, it was a duty he owed
to God and himself to wed the girl he
had betrayed. Davis, in replying, an
nounced his intention to commit suicide,
and on the same day, Oct. 11, he disap
peared, and has not Bince been seen. It
is believed that he has drowned him.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C. Oct. 23, 1881.
- Yorktown has been the central point during
a part of the week and Washington was for
the time pretty much deserted by its officials
and celebrities. For several days the coming
and going of troops en roato, and the arrival
here of various Governors and their staffs,
filled the city with strangers and enlivened our
streets, to say nothleg of the hotel corridors.
The old Potomac has not presented such a gala
appearance bo fore during my sojourn at the
Capital. All the steamers on the river, with
several Navy vessels, profusely decorated with
bunting, have gone up and down the river
loaded to the water line with human freight.
The Preldeu t and Cabinet, Army and Navy
officers, Benators, Congressmen and foreign
diplomats were among the passengers. Along
the river front and about the harbor flags have
been displayed while the unusual stir and the
beating of drums almost suggested actual
preparations for war.
Upon the historical spot where Cornwallis
surrendered there was gathered a larger crowd,
military and civil, than It Is likely ever to see
again. In all Its main features the Yorktown
of to day, which was'the scene of the culmi
nating struggle that virtually brought the war
of Independence to a triumphant clnao, finds It
chief dlirrence from the little port of entry,
where the Nelsons and the Pages lived Iu
patriarchal fashion a century ago, In the rav
ages that time has wrought. The principal
features of the place are the same. The little
custom-house still remains. There are still
traces of the earthworks thrown up during the
siege, and the One old Nelson mansion still
rears Its stately head, though In a condition of
dilapidation and decay. The Yorktown of a
century ago was again the seat of mimic war.
Boldlors were encamped on its now barren flolds,
and ou its waters ships rode at anchor, with
the flags of France and America unfurled. It
was a graceful act of courtesy to Invite the de
scendants and representatives of those who
paatlclpated In our revolutionary struggle to
assist at the centenulal celebration of Its suc
cessful termination on the spot where Corn
wallis laid down his arms and surrendered the
7,000 men of his command prisoners of war.
To Lafayette and Rocharabeu, Count de Orasse
and the naval and military forces of France
tho country owes a deep debt of gratitude, at
well as to the able German soldiers, Steuben
and Do Kalh, whom France engaged to assist
us In our struggle. But for France the war
might have continued Indefinitely as a forloru
and desperate conflict, such as a people iutcnt
on liberty can wage with all the odds against
them. She supplied the colonial Government
with money, arms, men and munitions of war.
It was her fleet of 24 ships of war that partici
pated in the siege or Yorktown, and of the 16,
000 men that constltntcd the besieging force
uuder Washington, France contributed 7,600.
Mr. Field has Just given out a bulletin show
ing the condition of the Mrs. Garfield fund,
stating that after purchasing registered four
per cent, bonds to the amount of (300,000,
there Is still about f 12,000 on hand. The
premium of these bonds amounted to $43,908.75.
Nothing better illustrates the impulsiveness of
American character than the outpouring of this
largo sum of money from private purses to the
widow of the late Presrdent. And while all
are glad to see her amply provided for, I can
not help thinking that the matter Is being over
done. Mrs. Garfield has In addition to this
fund a comfortable home in Mentor worth
?20,000, a house In Washington worth f 13,000
besides (33,000 In money from life Insurance
policies and the probability of 150,000 or f 100,
000 from Congress. Thus she Is practically
worth half a million dollars more than she
can ever use and more than enough to start all
of her children handsome); In life. What
need was there for all this, and bow utterly
foolish was the proposition to raise another
fund for the President's mother. All this sug
gests the luconsistency of ottr philanthropy,
sometimes, and how high position often elicits
an overplus of sympathy. In Michigan are
thousands of unfortunates whom the fire Send
lately rendered utterly destitute. In a day the
destroyer swept over them and took everything.
They were houseless, homeless and naked, not
knowing where the next loaf was coming from,
and many dying from Injuries and exposure.
Yet all these thousands of sufferers and all this
utter destitution did not elicit from the million
aires who had given so freely to Mrs. Garfield
one half the amount raised for her who really
did not need It, and whose afflictions were not
of the kind that money can soften.
