GUITEAU'8 TRIAL.
The trial of the assassin drags slowly
along. The defense was entirely the
plea of insanity. The following extract
from counsel's opening speech and the
testimony, will give our readers a chance
to form their own estimate of the
the strength of the claim.
Washixoton, Nov. 23. Immediate
ly after the opening of the court
Mr. Bcovllle again demanded that the
District-Attorney turn over to him for
Inspection the papers taken from Oul
teau, when he was arrested. Considera
ble time was then wasted by counsel in
argument about the propriety of Mr.
Scoville's demand, but the matter was
flu ally adjusted when Gulteau alluding
to' his remarks of yesterday about drop,
ping the JuUub from his name because
it sounded too much like those used by
negroes, Bald that the prejudice was
formed twenty years ago, that he "meant
no discourtesy to that race. It is get
ting now that the colored men are a
good deal better than white men." Mr.
Hcoville then resumed his address to the
jury, beginning with the reading of
some of the prisoner's letters to his
father.
The first was dated April 10, 1803, and
contains a statement of the prisoner's
reasons for leaving the Oneida Commu
nity, and his purpose of starting a great
theocratic dally paper In New York.
He says that his paper is to be an illu
minator, and to point out the devices of
Satan's emissaries. "I claim," he says,
"inspiration." I claim that I am a
member of the firm of Jesus Christ &
Co., the very ablest and strongest firm
in the universe, and that what I can do
is limited only by their power and pur
pose." The prisoner interrupted by stating
that be did not know the letter was in
existence but admitted having written
it. The next letter was dated from the
Chicago Jail in 1S77, where as Gulteau
expressed it, he "had been incarcerated
by one of his clients, a miserable little
whelp, about a difference of twenty dol
lars." He also said that he spent several
days in the Jail and having been "on
theology for some time was out of mon
ey" the letter being to liis father asking
him (his father) to help him out.
Mr. Scovllle went on to speak of Gui
teau's efforts to get an assignment to
speak duriug the political campaign,
and intimated that Gulteau was not
competent enough to be employed.
The prisoner I was competent enough
but I had not reputation enough.
Mr. Scovllle He went from one po
litical committee to another.
The prisoner That is not true.
Mr. Scoville They did not take any
stock in his ability.
The prisoner That is not true. I had
ability enough, but I had no reputation.
They wanted some man like General
Grant or Senator Conkllog with reputa
tion enough to draw. I might draw
now. (Laughter.)
Mr. Scoville went on to make a little
of the prisoner's speech, entitled "Gar
field against Hancock," and said that
the speech was submitted to prominent
men in season and out of season.
The prisoner And they all spoke
well of it.
Mr. Scoville It is a very common
place thing, and is only a collection of
some odds and ends of thoughts which
he picked from others and put together ;
and yet considered it so extraordinary
and so strong that he characterized it "as
the first gun of the campaign that elect
ed Garfield.
The prisoner The rebel war claims
idea was the first gun, that is all I said.
Mr. Scoville He honestly supposed
that that speech entitled him to the
highest position under the Government.
The prisoner I did not suppose any
thing of the kind.
Mr. Scoville He thought it a pass,
port to the Austrian Misssion, and that
he had only to present that speech to
the President to get any office.
The prisoner I did not think any
thing of the kind, and I protest very
solemnly against your trying to make
out that I was a fool. If you want to
rest this case anywhere rest it on tbe
true doctrine that the Deity inspired
this act, and I am with you. But if
you say that I am a fool lam down upon
you.
Mr. Scovllle Some of the witnesses
will express the opinion that the prison
er wag a fool, and others say that be was
crazy. You are to be governed by the
testimony. The prisoner will also be
sworn and you can give to his testimony
what weight you please.
The prisoner I say that the Deity in.
epired the act and that He will take care
of it. You need not try to make out
that I am a fool, because you cannot do
that. I repudiate your theory on that
point.
The District-Attorney insisted that
tbe prisoner's constant Interruptions
should be prevented by the court.
'!troncludg hiskjddress, Mr. Sco
ville saiii f "It has uie determinnl
bere wwetber your fellowa an, with all
his udefortunes and bbortdjuilngs, is to
end his life on the gallows. This ques
tion will be submitted to you by the ev
idence with the confidence that you will
do what Is right, according to your con
science and what will meet with the
approval of your countrymen and of
your God." (Applause.)
The first witness for the defense was
II. N. Burton, a Congregatlonallst cler.
gynian of Illinois, formerly a resident of
Kalamazoo, Mloh. He had attended a
lecture by the prisoner, and his evidence
was to the effect that he did not consid
er him so much deranged ag very badly
arranged. Hiram I. Davis, of Erie, I'a.,
also formerly of Kalamazoo, testified
that an aunt of the prisoner was subject
to delusions, and that her daughter Mas
a fool. Thompson Wilcoxson, aged"
eighty-one years, from Stephenson, III.,
knew Luther V. Gulteau, the prisoner's
father; one of his peculiarities was that
he never expected to die; he was equiv
ocating about religion, and relapsed into
the Oneida belief. John A. Illce, practis
ing physician at Myrtle, Wis., had seen
the prisoner in 1870 at the house of Mr.
Scoville, who called his attention to
Gulteau for the purpose of inquiring Into
his mental condition; came to the con
clusion that he was Insane. He was the
subject of intense egotism and of intense
pseudo rellgiouB feelings; thought him
dangerous, and that he ought to be
secluded; was about to consult with an
other physician when Gulteau heard of
it and left; had not Been him again until
in court.
After a recess the witness was cross
examined by Mr. Davldge at some
length, but merely elaborated his testi
mony. Mary S. Lockwood, residing In
Washington, was the next witness.
Gulteau had boarded at her house; did
not pay his board; he was eccentrlo aud
abrupt In his mannerat table. In cross
examination witness admitted that there
was nothing peculiar in Gulteau's man
nerexcept hlB abruptness. Mr. Norwood
Damon, of Boston, testified to the facts
of Gulteau's lecture in Boston in Octo
ber, 1879, when after reading a little
from his manuscript he quitted the plat
form abruptly, and then left the hall.
He then supposed the man was Insane.
George W. Olds, of Traverse county,
Mich., testified that he was at Mr. Scov
ille's, Beacon Lake, Wis., in the summer
of 1870; saw Gulteau there; saw him set
to work to weed turnips; he pulled up
more turnips and strawberries than he
did weeds; saw him sent out with a pan
of Boft soap to soap some young apple
trees, when be set to work soaping a
grove of hickory trees, and persisted in
saying they were fruit trees.. Tbe pris
oner Indignantly interrupted the witness,
but was pacified by Mr. Davidge, who
told him it would be got all right. The
witness continued that his opinion wa&
that Gulteau was a crazy man. In cross
examination witness Bald he did not
know whether the prisoner knew the
difference between strawberries and
weeds or between weeds and turnips, he
merely knew that he could not make
him pull the weeds separate from either
of the other. After a short redirect ex
amination of the witness, the case went
over until Friday.
Heathen at Home.
Kev. Mr. Swords.pastor of the Church
of the Holy Innocents, at Hoboken,
was attacked on Sunday by a gang of
boys from Jersey City and Hoboken,
who meet on the meadows to Indulge iu
a pitched battle almost every Sunday. He
notified the police, but they did not suc
ceed in breaking up the performance,
which continued all day. Stones, clubs,
mud and missiles of almost every descrip
tion are used by the combatants, making
it very dangerous for persons passing
along the avenue. And yet thousands
of dollars are spent to convert heathen
in foreign countries.
0"A few days since a young man was
jailed In McMinnvllle, Tenn., for carry
ing a pistol. His sweetheart, a young
lady residing iu Lincoln county, heard of
his trouble and went to McMinnvllle,
and by personal appeals Induced citizens
of that town to go on his bond. She
then married him, and the two departed
for her home. If that fellow don't make
her a good husband he deserves a kick
ing. Albion, Mlch.,;cltizens feel outrag
ed by the actions of a sect called the
" Healers" in that village, who refused
to do anything to save their children
from death by croup and diphtheria ex
cept praying. Several deaths have result
ed from this stupidity.

CoMjMitus, O., November 18. Tbe
state asylum for tbo insane was destoyed
by (Ire to clay. It was completed In July,
1877, at a cost of 11,80,080 and has
accommodations for 000 patients. A Inily
attendant was overcome by excitement nnd
for a time was entirely boieft of reason but
by care she was soon restored.
tlTMiss Benson learned that Ilandall,
who was wooing her at Mount Vernon, O.,
already bod a wife. She waited until he
made a formal proposal of marriage, and
then applied to a Justice for his arrest on a
charge of bigamy. Being told that the
crime of bigamy required a double mar
riage, she kept her secret, let tbe engage
ment result iu a wedding, and tlieu
triumphantly sent him to jail immediately
after the coreraony.
gjf Esta Williams took the prize at a
fair at Ottumwa, Iowa, as tbo most beauti
ful girl lu tbe county. She subsequently
married John Carnaban, who lived for seven
years very happily with bis distinguished
wife. Then he was overwhelmed by her
elopement without warning with. his owu
father, who took with him about $30,000,
leaving bis wife (John's mother) with
nothing but a small farm. The runaway
pair were traced as far as St. Joseph, Mo.,
bnt not caught.
New YonK, Novomber 21. Patrick

East Seventy-third street between Second
and Third avenues, in hanging a number
of dynamite charges out to dry this after
noon caused an explosion which shook the
entire neighborhood and shivered doors and
windows lo fifty-five houses. The flying
glass and falling bricks Injured three per
sons, Mary Tour, Nellie McQorley aud Miss
Schweller. MouHg'lian was arrested.
MoDonaugh, Qa., Novomber 21. A fire
broke out here last evening in tbe Jail, in
which a number of prisoners were confined.
It was impossible to unlock the doors, aud
for a time it seemed as if all the prisoners
must perish. Their screams were heart
rending. The building was a vast sheet of
flame and part of it fell in, when a number
of citizens broke open the doors with slodge
hammors aud dragged the unconscious pris
oners out. Oue died aud another Is report
ed dying. Two are in a critical condi
tion. g"A colored prophet of Arkansas has
beeu assuring his followers for a long time
that he would bo translated whou he com
pleted his century. He unluckily fixed his
day, and his disciples insisted ou his going
up. He was dressed iu a white robe, and
he flapped zealously, but to no purpose.
The eloqueuce of bis exortations could not
appease the disappointed crowd, and he
finally fled before their wrath and scorn.
OTA man and a boy traveling In the
Western country, aooompanied by a dog,
were met by Indians. Tbe man was killed;
aud the savages, ingenious iu their malice,
tied the living boy to the corpse but they
forget the dog. The faithful animal, partly
doubtless prompted by hunger, began to
gnaw the rawhide thongs which bouud the
boy to his dead companion. Those became
slippery, and the lad wriggled one of his
hands' out aud was soon at liberty. In time
he found his way to a distant ranch, accom
panied by tbe faithful dog.
Pottsville, Pa., November 21. Daniel

horse standing beside him. lie was In a
dying condition, and died soon after, being

S"The villagers of Green Back, la New
Jersey, have been enjoying tbe sensation of
a novel monster, which looks something
like a bear when it runB in the swamps,
but discloses the body and tail of a fish,
when it jumps iuto the river. Two compa
nies of hunters were organized to pursue
the strange beast by night, and it was once
fired at. Tbe only thing agreed upon is
tbat it resembles nothing else ever seen on
land or sea. Perhaps one of tue signs of
tbe Zadiao has tumbled down iu New
Jersey.

One Experience from Many.
''I had been sick and miserable so long
and caused my husband so much trouble
and expense, no one seemed to know what
ailed me, that I was completely disheart

of mind I got a bottle of Hop Bitters and
used tbera unknown to my family. I soon
began to improve and gained so fast that
my husband and family thought it strange
and unnatural, but when I told them what
