The line of testimony related entirely to the proof of Guiteau's in­ sanity. The prisoner was, as ever, beyond the control of the court, and kept up his continual comments upon proceedings. One of his speeches related to the Plymontk Gfeank pea- tor. He said: "I notice my friend, Henry Ward Beccher, is doing some Wankv work on this case. J iifod to attend his church aud prayer-meeting, and if your Honor knew him as well as I do you would not pay any attention to him. There are a good many people that thmk ho is badly cranked socially, andT have no doubt that Mrs Tiltou told the truth and that he lied about it, and I told him so publicly." " Oh, well, well, prisoner, that will do for you," said Davidge, Guiteau was apparently satisfied, and nodded with a smile, saying: "Thats all right, Judge ; I have had my say on Boecher. I'm satinfied." Gen. John A. Logan then took the stand and was asked : " Do you know the prisoner 'i " " Oh, yes, of /course- you do, General," broke in Guiteau; " you know me very welL I'm very happy to meet yon again." Witness had frequently been besieged by Guiteau to jindorse his application for office, but had invariably declined, for the reason that the prisoner did not seem to be such a man as he would care to recommend for any office. He had nover known him in Chicago. The first time he ever saw him was when he (Guiteau) called upon him to secure his influence. The general impression he formed of Guiteau was there was something wrong in his mental ar­ rangement*. Edmund E. Smith, employed in the Republi­ can National Committee rooms during the late Presidential campaign, thought Guiteau very peculiar, flighty and rambling i* conversation. Guite&u here interjected hi' customary com­ ments. "This gentleman wasn't in position to know about matters there, lie was only a clerk any way. Gov. Jewell, ex-iienator Dortey, and the rest of us boys were tae ones that (lid the work there.'* John A. Morse, colored, attorney-at-law, saw Guiteau at the White House during March aad April; took him to be a crazy man. Mrs. Scoville then took the Btand and gave a, biographical sketch of GuiteanV life, com­ mencing with his early childhood. Her lady­ like manner and simplicity in telling the history of her unfortunate brother made a good im­ pression upon the jury. Her evident grief and distress, too, created universal sympathy for her. mum sat. Mrs. Scoville resumed her testimony. Sh< described Guiteau's actions during his visit to her in 1878, and said she was then convinced hb was insane and should be put in an asylum. Frequent objections were raised by counsel for the prosecution to the character of questions propounded bv Scoville, and a continuous dis- cut-Hnm ensued between ctmnsel upon the ad­ missibility of certain evidence. George D. Biu'roughs and Fernando Jones, both of Chicago, testified to their belief in the insanity of the prisoner. C. S. Joslyn, of the Oneida Community, thought Guiteau's marked characteristic was intense egotism. The prisoner interrupted the court lon^i enough to deliver the following Bpeech : " I desire to tell all those crank newspapei men that I appear here as my own counsel That is my answer to all the silly stuff they have Leen delivering themselves of far somV days past. Some of these nowspaper men hav« gone crazy. I appear here iu part as my OWE counsel, as I have a right to under the law and the constitution of America." John W. Guiteau. the prisoner's brother, was next examined. He had not been on good terms with his brother for some years, but had not doubted his sanity until be received some letters in October. Since he had come on hero and had seen his brother m the court-room and at the jail he had become satis­ fied he was insane. On being . cross-examined witness admitted that before he had come to Washington he had always, in talking of the case, said he believed his brother was responsi­ ble. He believed him responsible, but not sane--responsible, because, as he thought, at some period of his life the prisoner had volun­ tarily surrendered himself to evil practices rather than good. Guiteau winced under these state­ ments, evidently fearing his brother's candor was injuring the case, and with considerable bitter­ ness interrupted: "My brother and I have not been on good terms for fifteen years. He always sympathized with my father on that Oneida community business, while Scoville and my sis­ ter sympathized with me. The last time I saw my brother we had some angry words, so he dees not come Here to testify for me with the ordi­ nary force a brother usually does come, and I'm glad to find he has changed his views, however, in my case. I want the public to un­ derstand about this." Guiteau continued to interrupt, explain and correct witness. Ones Judge DaviaSge attempted to stop him, but h« waved his hand imperiously, saying: "You keep quiet, Judge, if you please. Shortly after witness was asked, in connection witb an incident he had related, if he at that time thought the prisoner insane. Guiteau quickly anticipated his reply by say­ ing : "Whv, of course, he has always thought I was badly cranked." Witness said he nevei detected the slightest traoes of insanity in his father.

He closely studied the prisoner at the bar, and Sftyg that Guiteau clearly shows symptoms of softening of the brain. He says that he would not be xurpnbed to see him break down entirely --give way mentally--before the trial is over. The intense excitement of the trial is, in his opinion, hastening this culmination. The establishment pi the Aippri^n Bobber Company «i East Cambridge, near Bostoa, sad a lacs* faaatfip of goods aad Tbe oonveotion decided that bitter butter was cawl by variation of temperatura. Sev­ eral kunSred dollars were collected to prosecute oktcaiM'guine makers. Hartnmn & Sanford, of Amber, Iowa, were awarded the grand sweep­ stakes prize for butter, and then sold their ex­ hibit at C6 oeats per pound. The discussions in the convention brought oat these facte : 1. That tbe area of dairy production has vast­ ly incieased of late years. Thousands of grain- growing farms in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and other mi the Northern tud Western States, have been con­ verted wholly or in part into dairy farms, while the production in New York, Pennsylvania, New England and all the old dairy States is larger than ever before. 2.

The convention called to its Presidency Hon. Austin Belknap, of Boston, elected Col. Littler, of Davenport, Secretary, and chose Madison, Wis., as the place for meeting next year.

THIRTEENTH DAT. Immediately upon the opening of court Guiteau was called to the witness stand aud took his place, closely watched and guarded by policemen and court officers. He was asked Dy Scoville to give some incidents from his earliest recollections of his mother. Guiteau asked : " Am I to be put on as a regular witness to-day, or only to identify some letters V I suppose the latter. I am not feel­ ing at all well to-day, but shall be much better in a week or so." Scoville--"I had arranged to examine you to-day, and there are no other witnesses pres­ ent." Guiteau--"You should have had your wit­ nesses on hand. I object to going on tne stand when I am not feeling well, to be subjected to cross-examination by counsel for the prosecu­ tion. I have got a good deal to say. I want to go over the whole business carefully and scien­ tifically, so to speak, and I want to be in good talking condition." Scoville--"The court will relieve you if you feel ill." Guiteau--"Withthat understanding I will go •n. Corkhill--"We cannot submit to any such arrangement as that." After some further discussion Guiteau was removed from the stand, and Seovide proceed­ ed to read the lotters, which were put in evi­ dence the preceding day. They were all writ­ ten by Guiteau to his father and other mem­ bers of his family, and covered a period of fifteen or twenty years. As the reading of the letters progressed, Guiteau occasionally commented upon them, or suggested the proper word where Scoville hesitated. While one, dated from the Oueida community, was being read, Guiteau said: " Well, you can see I was badly cranked about that time." At another time Scoville hesitated and said : "Here is a word I cannot make out" " Civilization is the word," prompted Guiteau. " You can see how badly mixed up I got in that miserable community. It makes me mad every time I think of it, I wish those letters were out of existence." Scoville read from one of the letters : "lam with Jesus Christ and company, and I am work­ ing for them." "That was my sentiment," said Guitcap " and that has been my position ever since." In another letter addressed to his father, the prisoner had requested fc200 or f300. Guiteau commented upon this letter, saying : " Fathei didn't send the money. He always thought 1 was badly cranked." Another letter was read, in which the writer criticized severely the Oneida community, and referred to a circular inclosed, which also de­ nounced the community and their practices. Guiteau exclaimed : "Several of the New York dailies took up my circular and devoted ed­ itorial comments to it. That was a little bit ol revenge I had for living in that miserable soci­ ety. I'm glad to know they are broken up now. I was a virtuous man all the time I was there, though. I want that understood." The reading of the letters was finished and Guiteau resumed the witneriB stand. Scoville began to question him relative to his early life. Guiteau responded promptly, intelli­ gently and with perfect coolness for some minutes, apparently enjoying the situation and his freedom to talK. Guiteau gave his views on his father's relig­ ions belief, and was asked if he (his father) had any peculiar views on healing diseases. He replied : " Oh. yes; father was an awful crank on that subject.' Scoville--" What do yod mean by crank 7" Guiteau--"Well, that's a short way of put- ttajj; it, when geu want to say a man is pretty Ths Witness theo wept Ofl 5Q relate hie w tons failures in delivering Ms lecture in Chioa- Kand othsr cities. He frequently laughed as repeated some of the humorous incidents of his failures. Various times he was put off rail­ road oars for not paying his fare and arrested for aot paying his Iward bills. At other times hi grew excited iu the assertion that in all he did he was like Paul, engaged in the service of God, and that God was. therefore, responsible for his board bills. " When you get down," said Guiteau, "every one in ready to give vou a kick. I was thirty days in the Tombs; I have been in Jail several timet*, but never for crime. Nover was indict­ ed before this time in my life." Ouiteau then related his efforts to secure the Chicago Inler Ocean, which ho proposed to make the great newspaper organ of the West. He offered one wealthy man to make him Gov­ ernor of Illinois if he would advance the money. * While the prisoner was giving his testimony lie was watched most attentively by all the med­ ical expert* present, and with great curiosity by •very person in the crowded court room. At times he showed his exhaustion by lowering his •oice, and it was in consequence of one of those signs that, some ten minutes before the usual time for adjournment, the court, at the instanss of the District Attorney, adjourned. FOURTEENTH DAT. The assassin continued his statement of the causes which led him to commit his great crime. Witness was asked to identify a book handed him, and said: "Oh, yes; that is my revised work called Truth,' a companion book to the Bible. I haven't seen it since it was taken from mo when I was arrested." Witness then de­ sired to read a pawsage, and read a page or two descriptive of the trials of the Apostlo Paul in endeavoring to introduce Christianity. "That was just my efcse," said Guiteau, striking his fist upon the desk. "I strove to enlighten the world, just as Paul did. I had no money and no triends, and I had just about as rough a time as the apostle had. The witness gaid that when in New York, dur­ ing the last Presidential campaign, he called on Gen. Arthur to offer his services in the cam­ paign. Also called at Republican headquart­ ers , saw all the big men. They were all glad to see him. H® consulted with Gov. Jewell, Gen. Arthur and others. They were very friendly, but told him they must have men of big reputation, like Grant and Conkling, to do the speaking. Witness added: " 1 was on free and easy terms with Jewell and the rest of them." Witness made his flrst applica­ tion for office soon after Gen. Garfield's election. He called on Gen. Garfield at the White House. " After Garfield was at leisure," said Guiteau, " I shook hands with him and handed him my speech, on which was written 'Paris Consulship.' He knew me at once. I left him reading the speech, and that's the only interview I ever had with President Gar­ field. I wish to state, here, that my getting office or not getting office had nothing what­ ever to do with my removing the President. That was an act of inspiration and was done as a political necessity." Witness then re­ lated his experience at the State Department and his interview with Secretary Blaine, de­ scribing, as he termed it, the "modus operandi of getting at the Secretary of State." Witness described his last interview with Blaine, who rather hurt his feelings by his abrupt man­ ner, which was so in contrast with his pre­ vious cordiality. Witness then determined to see the President, and, with a considerable exhibition of excitement, related his efforts to see the President. Witness continued: " The party was at loggerheads, and I got very much worried over it. I wrote several notes to the President, telling him something must be done, but he paid no atteutT® to it. I kept worrying," he continued, " over the po­ litical situation, and I knew this nation was coming to grief." Witness was then asked as to the inspiration which he had said impelled him to remove the President, and replied: "The inspiration, as I understand it, is where a man's mind is taken possession of by a su­ preme power. Where he acts outside of him­ self." . On the Wednesday evening after Conkling's resignation, the assassin said he thought if Piesident Garfield was out of the way all would go well. He tried to shake it off. but it grew. In a fortnight's time it had become a fixed resolve. He never has doubted since that time, about the 1st of June, that he was inspired. He prayed and prayed, asking God, if Garfield were not to be thus removed, to get rid of him in some other way. The re­ moval was necessary to save the nation from ruin. " I knew the Lord employed me because he always employs the best material I felt the Lord wanted me to do it, to advertise my book." Guiteau said hp believed in special Provi­ dences, andfhaorao eonc^rn about his personal safety. He felt the Lord aud Government would take care of him. "The Lord," he said, " is no fool. He oses the best means - for his work." The assassin then briefly recited his arrest and incarceration with as little exhibition of feeling as if relating the commonest incidents of every-day life. "When I was finally lodged in jail," said Guiteau, "I felt happy. I said, 'Thank God it is all over rith.' " After a few questions had been propounded and objected to, Guiteau broke out: "I want to define my position on this point. I believe Gen. Arthur is a friend of mine. He ought to be, for I am the man that made him, or my in­ spiration did, but I have never yet asked a favor of him, and I don't suppose I ever shall. I have had an idea in my head for twenty years that I should be President of the United States. I suppose the people think I have been badly cranked about that. -I had that idea in the Oneida community. I went to Boston with the distinct feeling that I was on the way to the White House, and I shall make it yet. If I am ever President it will be by the act of Qod. I shall get the nomination as Lincoln and Gar­ field did, aud I shall be elected as they were. I anticipate a decided change in the public opin­ ion in regard to me. I don't care a snap of my fingers about being President. I don't care anything about it I don't know if I shotild take it if I were actually nominated and slscled." FIFTEENTH DAT. Upon the opening of the court, the assassin resumed tbe witness stand, and Judge I\jrter began a rapid fire of. interrogations, eliciting from the prisoner in his several replies that physically he was a coward and always kept away from personal danger. Morally he was brave as a lion, when be thought the Deity was back of him. In his opinion the doctors killed the President. Tbe acts of Jones and Macon, in attempting to kill him, were wrong, and they ought to bis punished unless they can sbow that they were inspired by the Deity. The witness soon showed signs of impatience and excitability, and, strik­ ing his often hand upon the desk, emphasized every sentence he uttered. When pressed for answers, he finally became obstinate and shouted to Judge Porter: " I know you well, •nd I know bigger men than you are. I've seen you shake your fiuger at witnesses m New York, but you oan't scare me." Shortly after, when asked if he believed in tbe ten commandments, to which he responded in the affirmative, ana if be believed that the comnundment "Thou shalt not kill" ought to be read in his eaee " Thou fchait kill." he became exceedingly vio­ lent. He refused to discuss the matter at all. There was no murder in his case and no kill­ ing. It wae simply for the jury to determine whether or not his act in removing the Presi­ dent was inspired by the Deity or not. It was all nonsense to split hairs any longer over that word. It must do distinctly understood that the removal of the Preeident was an act of Deity. Witness proved decidedly obstinate, and, af­ ter llatly contradicting the testimony of Gen. Logan, Charles Reed and several other wit­ nesses, he positively refused to answer several questions, bis invariable response being: "I aecline to discuss that witn yon." Witness seemed to be greatly anuoyed at Judge Porter's habit of pointing bis finger at bim, as he fre­ quently did in the way of emphasizing his in­ terrogatories, and again broke out angrily: "You need not point your long finger at me, Jndge Porter. I've seen you do that before ; but you can't scare me." Witness declined to go into boarding-house matters, as.they had no bearing on the case. He supposed he owed (150 to various land­ ladies, and some time or other expected to pay them. Judge Cox directed bim to reply to questions. Witness was readilyg driven from oae position to another, till confronted with tbe evidence of his own witnesses, when he would unhesitatingly pro- nounoe their evidence false. Once he emphasized his contradiction by saying: "Anything I swear to, Judge, is true. You ean put that down as a fixed fact." Being pressed as to how he proposed to raise funds, which be said he was expecting to reoeive, wit­ ness said : •' I intended to borrow it from some of my friends and added : " I will tell you, Judge, bow I borrow money. It may be of service to you when you want to borrow foK yourself. I don't lie, nor sueak, but go right up to a man and ask lum for what! want." Guiteau became very iudignaagM Judge Por- Gultean was permitted to indulge his passioa for talking upon tbe pending political situation at the time of the shooting, until, speaking of the President s ingratitude to Grant and Conk­ ling, he was led by Judge Porter to admit that " ingratitude was the basest of crimes." Judge Porter--•' Stop there. What would you have thought of your act' in killing the President had he given you the Paris Consul­ ship, instead of having refused it?" Guiteau had previously said that Garfield was his (the prisoner's) warm personal and po­ litical friend; that no personal motives what­ ever were involved in his act, and fearing, evi­ dently, some trap was being set for him, he hesitated a moment, and then, with great em­ phasis, said: " I want to jusc fasten you solid right here. 1 would not have taken the Paris Consulship after the 1st of June if I had been appointed to it and the President and Secretary Blaine had both beseeched me on their knees to take it. I had at that time re­ solved to remove the President for the good of the American people." SIXTEENTH DAT. Judge Porter continued his cross-examina­ tion, which proved, as usual, irritating to the prisoner, who made insolent responses occasion­ ally. "Was it one of your purposes in re­ moving the President to create a demand for your book V" asked Judge Porter. Answer--"Yes, sir; with the modification that it was to preach the gospel." Witness soon became excited, and gesticulat­ ing wildly, insisted upon his inspiration, and that the Lord had selected him to do the work. He was no fooL The Lord never selected fools to do His work. He had inspired him to remove Garfield, and left him (witness) to use his own judgment in selecting the means. Continuing, excitedly : " And the Lord has taken care of me. I've neither been shot nor hung." Jndge Porter--" And you did not expect to be ? " Answer--"I decline to discuss the matter with you. I did not have any thought on the subject, I left it ail to the Deity." Witness repeatedly refused to answer ques­ tions, or, as ho termed it, to " discuss" the matters under inquiry. Judge Porter produced Gutteau's book " Truth," which witness had claimed was the result of a direct inspiration from the Deity, and compared it paragraph by paragraph with the "Berean," the Oneida community book written by John H. Noyes. Similarity of ideas and identity of expression was apparent all through, and the witness struggled desperately to explain away his pal­ pable plagiarisms. Witness believed in the personal existence of the Deity and the devil, and when the impulse to remove tbe President seized him he wrestled and prayed to find if it came from the Lord or the devil, and had it not been for the political situation and evident necessity for his removal for the good of the country and American peo­ ple witness would not have shot the President, but would have believed the impulse was prompted by the devil. Witness was then asked, " Are you insane at all?" and replied: "I'm not an expert. Let these experts and the jury decide that." Being pressed for his opinion, witness declined to answer. He was then subjected to a rapid series of questions, and soon began to exlnbit irritability and anger, and his replies, when given at all, were in short, jerky sentences. He was asked if he laid in wait for the Presi­ dent in an alley by night, and after a short wrangle said: "Now you are on that, I'll give you a little news. I'll tell you what occurred that evening of July 1." Witness then de­ tailed his movements up to the time he saw the President and Secretarv Blaine emerge from the house of the latter and walk down Fifteenth street. Said Guiteau: "They walked along so lovingly, arm-in-arm; they had their heads together like two school- rls. Their fellowship was delightful, and confirmed me in the belief that Garfield had sold himself, body and soul, to Blaine, and that Blaine was using him to ruin the stalwart wing of the Republican party." Guiteau here became furiously excited, ancl plunged into a wild harangue, denouncing Blame as a bold, wicked, designing man, who wanted to ruin the Republican party in revenge for the two times he had been slaughtered by political con­ ventions. Striking the desk with considerable violence, he shouted: "Yes, sir, in my opinion Blaine is morally responsible for the death of Garfield." • The prisoner, in response to questions by Judge Porter, gave his story of the shooting of the President. Blaine and the President drove up in a Hingle-horse carriage, and not in the White House earnage, which showed how mnch the President w*s under Blaine's influ­ ence. Blaine was blowing and blowing, and the President was listening. They were on the most intimate terms. Blaine got out of one side of the carriage and Garfield out of the other. They walked up to the depot and passed within a few feet of the prisoner, who drew his weapon and fired twioe, and hit bim once. Q. You shot him in the back? A. I did mot fire at any particular place. Q.--Did you not fire for the hollow of bis back? A.--My intention was to shoot him in the back. \ Q.-- Did you think if he got two balls in his back it would remove him ? A,--I thought so. Q.--And you intended to put them there? A.--I did. Q. And you feel no remorse ? A. (In a low and almost inaudible voice.) Of course I feel remorse so far ts my personal feelings are con­ cerned. I feel remorse as much as any man, and regret the necessity of the act, but [raising his voice] Mr. Porter--The cross-examination is closed. Dr. Alexander Hall, o! Columbus, Ohio, was called and testified to hie belief in the insanity of the prisoner. Irishmen In Council. A National Convention of Irishmen assem­ bled in McCormick Hall, Chicago. About 1,200 delegates were in attendance, representing nearly every State and Territory In the Union- John F. Finerty, of the Chicago Times, called the convention to order in a speech in which he declared that it was the autv of Irish- Americans to support their countrymen fn the old land in their struggle against British domination and misrule. Mr. Wm. J. Ilv.ies, of Chicago, was elected temporary Chairman. Messrs. Ronayne aud Ilorgiin and Mayor I'ow- clerlv, of Scranton. Pa., was elected Secretaries. T. P. O'Connor, M. P., Father Sheehv and Mr. Healy, M. P., fresh from the old sod, de­ picted the wrongs of Ireland, the speeches be- injr greeted with the wildest enthusiasm. • The convention effected a permanent organi­ zation by the selection of Rev. Dr. Betts (Prot­ estant), of St. Louis, as Chairman, and the ap- poiatment of a Committee on Resolutions, con­ sisting ef one member from each State and Territory, one from Canada and one from Ire- Ian#. Tne convolution was seluted by a cable­ grams from Patriek Egan, at Paris, announcing that tenants on 600 properties in Ireland had refused to pay rents. . The convention adopted a series of resolu­ tions indorsing the " no-rent" manifesto of the Irish leaders, pledging the delegates present to raise $250,000 between now and the 1st of January, practically agreeing to allow existing organizations to stand, aud ap­ pointing a committee of seven to assist the organization to devise ways and means to carry out the subscription pledge of the .'.convention. The resolutions were accompanied by an eloquent address, arraigning the policy of Gladstone, and indorsing Parneli and the no-rent manifesto. A gentleman named O't'ounor, from Elmira, N. Y., opened a sub­ scription for Land-Leegue purposes by plank- ing down (500, and was followed by Mr. J. F. Finerty, of Chicago, who subscribed $500, and by Mr; Michael Keeley, of Chicago, who sub­ scribed Isl.ooo. The total amount subscribed was about £30,000. ter's use of the word " murder," and shouted fiercely : " Yoa seem to delight in the words 'kill' and ' murder.' There's no use in your whining in that way. The mere outward fact how I removed the President has asthteg what­ ever to do witb this case." The Life-Saving Serrice. The Superintendent of the Life-Saving Ser vice, in his annual report, says : At the clos< of the fiscal year the service included 183 stat­ ions, 143 on the Atlantic, 34 on the lakes and 0 on the Pacifio. The number of casualties on the Atlantic coast within the scope of the ser nee was 151, on the lakes 94, on the Pacific 5 number of persons lost, 26 ; number brought ashore by life-saving appliances, 408 ; and suc­ cor afforded 407 at various stations. One hun­ dred and seventy-eight vessels were helped bj life-saving crews to get off when stranded, and piloted to places of safety. The estimated valu« of vessels wrecked within the scope of tbe ser­ vice, together with cargoes, is §4.05-1,759, of which amount f2,82fi,680 was saved. Th« General Superintendent recommends additional stations on the Atlantic coast and the lakes, and urges that com]iens4tion of keepers and orews be increased to :< living rate. Charred Brad. The use of charred bran for preserving delicate fruit while on the road to mark­ et bids fair to solve the problem which has so long perplexed some millers. Converted into charcoal, the light and slippery product of the mills ceases to be unmanageable; and it is quite likely that a large local demand for charred bran will arise in the vicinity of most mills, for packing not only quickly perishable fruits like peaches, plums and grapes, but also apples and other firmer fruits, for storage as welt as trans­ portation. Report of the Secretary of the Ifary. Secretary Hunt, in bis annual report, calls the attention of Congress to the neglected con­ dition of the navy, and says unless some action be had in its behalf it must soon dwindle to insignificance. He devotes considerable space to consideration of the reports of bureau officers, and generally indorses the recommen­ dations submitted. Secretary Hunt estimates that t20,013,716 will be needed to defray the expenses of the department for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883. Requisitions are made upon the department to send vessels in­ to different parts of the world to prevent threatened aggression upon rights of American citizens and to shield them, in time of civil commotion in foreign lands, from insult and personal indig­ nity. It is to be deplored that in many such instances it has proved impossible to respond to the calls, from want of a sufficient number of vessels. These things ought not to be. While the navy should not be large, it should at all times afford a nucleus for its enlargement upon an emergency. It becomes the duty of Con­ gress to see to it that the navy of the United States should not be left to perish through in­ attention, but should be restored to a condition of usefulness from which it may, upon oecasioh, be so expanded as to become a ready means of protection at home or active or aggressive war­ fare in ports and waters of the enemy. Secretary Hunt therefore heartily commends to the consideration of Congress the results of the labors of the Naval Advisory Board. Re­ ferring to the work of naval surveying, the Secretary recommends that Congress appropri­ ate the means necessary to carry out surveys of the West indies, the Span­ ish main, the coast of Mexico and Central America. In furtherance of this object the Secretary says the United States steamer Dis­ patch has been detailed for the purpose of sur­ veying during the coming winter months the waters and shoals of the Gulf of Humana, isl­ and of San Domingo, which, from its geograph­ ical position and extent, seems destined to De- come of great importance commercially, and as •oou as tbe U nited States steamer Linta is ready for sea she will be employed on similar service on the Spanish main. The appropria­ tions available for the current expenses for th« fiscal year ending June 30, 1881, were $16,092,- 801; expenditures, $14,450,789. The First Mormon Marriage. The first " celestial marriage" oc­ curred by stealth, on the banks of the Mississippi, near Nauvoo, I1L Joseph Smith "sealed "to James Noble a second wife. Noble's first wife soon died of bro­ ken heart, and the second wife went in­ sane and also died. When Smith mar­ ried Noble, the latter also married Smith to a second wife. The first Mrs. Smith clung to the prophet until a mob killed him, and then married a Gentile, and at last accounts «was still living at Nauvoo. In defiance of polygamy the examples of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, David and Solomon are cited. In cor­ roboration of the " Book of Mormon " we are pointed to the burned cities of Palenvue andUxmal, in Central America; to the mounds in the Mississippi valley, and to other well known vestiges of a pre­ historic race. When a good Mormon dies who " has lived up to his religion," and has had a dozen or two wives and fifty or sixty children, he does not be­ come a mere angel, like an ordianary Christian--he becomes a god, with a world of his own to reign over. A Mor- man wife, who opposes the polygamous marriage of her husband goes to hell and is "destroyed." A.Mormon who obeys the mandates of the church in most respects, but neglects to "go into polygamy," becomes a mere angel, who must be a kind of celestial servant to the gods and other angels. His wife must Bhare the same humiliating f^te. The doctrine of "blood atonement" is simply this : If an apostate's throat is out, the spilling of his blood upon the ground will save his soul. If he is left to die a natural death his soul will go to hell. A great many apostate souls have been saved in Utah. This, in substance, is the Mormon religion. Determined Sncccas* The writer that talks of the great things that may be achieved by a deter­ mined will--by an intense, continuous act of volition to do and be such and such a thing--forgets that this power of willing strongly is, to a large extent, a gift of nature, and as rare as any other good thing in the world. As a sensible writer says: "A man starts on his career with a tacit understanding with himself, that he is to rise. It is step-by-step progress. He probably has no distinct aim. It is only in I ooks that he re­ solves from the first dawning of ambi­ tion to become owner of such an estate, or bishop of such a see. But he metlns to get on, and labors to that end. He fixes his thought beyond immediate self-indulgence, chooses his friends as they will help the main design, falls in love on the same principle, and habit­ ually deferring to a vague but glowing future, learns to work toward it, and for i its sake to be self-denying and long sighted. His instincts quicken; he puts forth feelers, which men who take their pleasure from hand to mouth, have no use for; he lives in habitual caution, with an eye always to the main chance. Thus, he refines and enhances the nat­ ural discretion which doubles the weight and value of every other gift, and yet keeps them on an unobtrusive level, leaving itself the most notable quality, till he is universally pronounced the man made to go on by people who do not know that it is a steady will that haa made him what he ie."

Ittpert •( the Director •( lis HKhRt. The annual report of Horatio C. Bureharfe the Director of the United States Mint, for ths fiscal year ended June 30, 1881, contains, in ad­ dition to the customary detailed statements «t the operations of the mints and assay ofiioes, much valuable information in regard to ths production of precious metals in the United States and in the world, their uso in the coin­ age of this and foreign countries, consumption in, arts and manufactures, specie circulation, and an examination of the course of prices^ omparing paper and metallic circulation bt 'a series of fifty-six years, with the percentage jpf yearly price* to the mean prices of staple articles, in­ dicating the annual variations in the purchas­ ing price of money. Gold and silver received and operated upon by all the mints and assay offices, exceeding by more than $50,000,000 ths receipt*) of any previous vear, amounted to $220,225,522, of which *193,371,101 was gold, and $32,854,421 silver. This large increase was due to the continued influx of gold from abroafl, over $95,000,000 deposited being from that source alone. The coinage facilities of the mints will be enlisted to their fullest extent in converting this bullion into coin. The gold coinage amounted to $78,733,864, of which $15,345^M0 was in double eagles, and the remainder in eoins of lesser denominations. The coinage of silver was confined to the minimum value at silver bullion required to be coined by the law authorizing the coinage of the standard silver dollar, $27,637,955 of which were struck; of subsidiary coins only $12,011 were coined, H of base metal or minor coins $405,109. Th® total coifeago of silver dollars since the passage of the act for their coinage, up to Nov. 1, was $100,672,705, of which $34,096,327 are in circu­ lation, and $58,833,770 held by the treasury for the payment of outstanding silver certifi­ cates, leaving $7,737,608 for disbursement by the treasury in ordinary payments. The usual examinations and settlements wan. made at the close of the year. The report, referring to the probable restora­ tion of silver to its former place in the mone­ tary circulation, says: " In view of the failure of the international monetary conference to agree upon any practical measure, aud while awaiting its future action, it is a question for our serious and early consideration whether it is not desirable to suspend further coinage of sil­ ver until by international agreement and effect ive legislation unlimited coinage of silva and gold at common fixed rates shall have been authorized by the principal commercial nations of Emope and America. Should the $650,000,000 silver coin now full legal tender in Europe be demonetized, the United States could not, single-handed among commercial nations, with no European co-operation or al­ lies, sustain the value of silver from an inevit­ able fall. With that danger menacing us, we cannot, without serious embarrassment, con­ tinue such coinage unless other commercial na­ tions will agree upon the general use of silvet as well as gold." The ratio of 153^ to one already approved, and in use among the nations composing the Latin Union, would doubtless be chosen. This would cause, if the coinage of silver, as wellaa gold, at all the mints of the world were made free, as bi-metallisni implies, the voluntarf withdrawal from circulation of the standard dol­ lars and their recoinage. In such case the further coinage of the silver dollars of the present weight, unless needed for circulation, is a use­ less expenditure. Director Burchard estimates' the world's production of gold for the calendar year 1880 at $107,000,000, aud of silver $87,500,000. The consumption of the world in ornamentation, manufactures and the arts is estimated for the same period at $75,- 000,000 gold and t>35,000,000 silver. The esti­ mated circulation of the principal countries of the world is placed at $3,221,000,000 ; full legal- tender silver, $2 ,155.000,000 ; limited tenders, $423,000,000; total specie, $5,759,000,000; paper, *3,044,000,000 ; making the total circu­ lation, including tne amount held in the [ Governments' treasuries, banks and in active | circulation, $9,403,000,000. Upon the sub­ ject of tho course of prices, and indicating | the annual, variations in the purchasing i power of in the United States, the Di­ rector hajj pi&pared tables showing the average annual prices of both gold and currency of tbe leading staple articles in ihe New York market for fifty-six years, with the mean price of each, and also the relation which the average annua* price of each article boars to the mean price foi tin/ whole term of yearn. The mean percentage for each year of ail articles named furnishes a basis for measuring tho purchasing power ol money, and is instructively compared with th«s per-capita circulation and estimated wealth foi each year. National Tariff' Convention. A National Tariff Convention, with about 400 delegates in attendance, met at New York, and | was called to order by CoL Houston. Hon. George B. Loring, Commissioner of Agriculture, wss called to the chair, and urged J the importance of a bureau of industrial i returns. Peter Cooper read a lengthy ad- | dress, asserting that the Government should | nevc-r have permitted individual States or i banks to issue paper money. Senator Miller | was elected permauent Chairman. A letter I from Secretary Blaine contained an expression I of his belief that >t no previous time has the principle of protection been so strong with the [ masses of the people. ! John Thompson, a banker, spoke in favor of | silver coinage and silver certificates; Jo.-c-ph ; Wharton said the tariff should be arranged so j as to promote American industries ; John Jar- : rett, President of the lion and Steel ! Workers' AsKOsiation. said that all the mera- ' bers of that body (5,000 iu number) were pro- ! tectionists; J. B. Grinnell, of Iowa, ! hoped that the $275,000,000 bush- I els of corn raised in his State | would be consumed undc-r the American flag. I J .H. Brewer, a New Jem;y pottery manufact­ urer, thought foreign competition would be ! dangerous to American industries, and should j be avoided ; George W. Moore, of Michigan, ! favored a tariff convention ; H. J. Steb'liins, of i Michigan, spoke in the interest of the lumber, I copper and salt interests ; Lewis W. Hanley 1 spoke also in behalf of the salt interests ; Rob­ ert Grimshaw favored the sugar interests.
