'They contain nothing pointing to armed inter ference, and, while opposing the intention of Chili to annex certain territory of her pro-trate •enemy, recognize her right to do as nhe pleases.

' The convention ol General Passenger Guiteau again interrupted in a great rage, and, in a voice which completely drowned the utterances of the counsel and witness, yelled out: " That's a very dirty question for tou to ask, Corkhill. It jjuat suits your brain. I'm going to ask Arthur to kick you out of this case. Why, this man :s one of the first scien tists of the country. Why, he would'nt conde scend to spit on you, Corkhill. You are in bad repute, Corkhill, with every member of this bar. You are aa unmitigated nuisance in this ease." The witness finally answered, "Most de cidedly, no." The oourt adjourned without concluding the examination. TWENTY-FOUBTH DAT. Dr. gpitzka resumed the witness staad. Corkhill handed to witness a slip of paper upon which was drawn a diagram and human head, and said: '*Now, supposing this to be the prisoner's head, will you please point out the inequalities to which you referred yesterday'?" Before any reply could be made Guiteau raised a laugh by saying : " That accounts for it. A hatter came to see me this morning and offered me a hat if I would let him take my head. I got the hat, but you don't pay for it, CorkhilL Oh, no, the Government will have to do so." Witness went on, giving his reasons for con sidering the prisoner insane. Upon a question being asked by Corkhill, Guiteau broke 111 with : " I have been looking up your record, Corkhill, and I'll show you up. Subsequently, Guiteau again interrupted the examination, and bhouted : " I see that crank, Talmage, has been doing some sensationalism business in this case. He had better go slow. He has been before his synod several tmies for lying. I have got my eye on several of these cranks, and U they don't go slow I'll give some more of them some free advertising. The high-toned portion of the American people are beginning to take the right view of this case." Wituess thought the proper way to summon experts would be for the court to summon them, irrespective of the changes Of Corkhill inslsled tne witness had attacked the character and honesty of the experts who were supposed to entertain opposite opinions from himseif on the prisoner's sanity. I Guiteau interrupted in his most angry mood, | and, shaking his head at Col. Corkhill, shouted : I " It's the unanimous judgment of the American i people that you are a consummate jackass, ! CorkhilL This gentleman is an honest man, ! and if your skull was not so thick you would see it." Witness desired to explain his position, and said ; " I do not hesitate to reiterate my opinion that the expert who will in this court testify that the prisoner is sane is; in my opinion, no expert, or a dishonest one." Dr. Fordyce Barker, of New York, was next 6xaminod. The audience listened intently as the distinguished physician defined insanity and the several phases thereof. Dr. Barker's comprehensive and positive conclusions were all in accord with the theory of the prosecu tion.

M Justice, a lawyer, of Logansport, Ind., met the prisoner in 1878. The prisoner was selling a book entitled "The Life of Moody." Guiteau--" Well, you are a liar, sir--a miser able liar. That is the bust way to dispose of you." Witness, oontinning, said the prisoner re mained in Logansport about three weeks, sell ing the book. Guiteau continually interjectea abusive com ments. and finally shouted : " You\misetable wheip, to come in here aud make rne out as a book agent. I was preaching the gospel and 1 sold my own proitactkuw." Rev. Rush B.' Shippen testified that in three months' intercourse in a boarding-house he saw in the prieonor bo signs of insanity. Dr. Noble Young, the jail physioiau, swore that the accused is yierfectiy sane. Mrs. Sooville desired to ask a question, saying that her husband did not know how to do so. When she had written j it out, Guiteau ordered her to attend to her own affairs, and the witness was dismissed. Guiteau gradually worked himself into a towering rage, and declared against the witness, the prosecution and the cranks, whom he claimed threatened him with violence, his billingsgate .being especially directed against the Prosecuting Attorney. Referring to Col. Corkhill he said : " He is getting too dirty and too stinldng to live, and the first tning he knows God Almighty will take hun off and send him down below."

Of these biiis 121 were introduced by the Kansas Congress men. and the industrious Illinois legislators in troduced 117, while Louisiana's representatives introduced eighty-nine, Kentucky's eighty-two, Indiana's sixty-seven and Iowa'B fortv-seven. The bills deal with a great variety of subjects, but principally with the tariff, the currency, national banks, inter-State commerce and transporta tion.

This announcement seemed to strike ! terror to the heart of Guueau. He expected 1 ifcat there would be a reaction of j public feeling in his favor; that, i as Gen.

The first witness called was Deputy Clerk Barnard, of the New York Supreme Court, who presented the record in the divorce case of the prisoner. The prisoner shouted out that he committed adultery to get rid of a woman he did liot love. Gen. Joseph S. Reynolds, of Chicago, was called. Gniteau at once broke in, petulantly, saying. " I hope you will cut off Gen. Reynolds and not waste any more time on him. He told all he knows about this case, and a good deal more." Scovllle cross-examined the witness. Guiteau frequently interrupted, contradicted and insult ed tiic witness. At one time he shouted out: "I would have been hung a hundred times in July last but for the national troops, and all through your lying and Corkhill's. I'm going to get even with both of you. too."

Guiteau--"That's just my case, sir," with an air of perfect satisfaction; then, turning to Scoville: " Come, that's the whole case. Now let's have recess. I'm getting hungry." Mrs. Scoville desired to ask a question. Guiteau (mipatiently)--" Oh, you keep still; it's all they can do to put up with me."' Judge Cox assented, and Mrs. Scoville asked: " Can a man be boru insane ?" Answer--"No, madame; he could be born au idiot or imbecile. Insanity is an acquired state after birth." Dr. Barker, in answer to a question, declared positively that he thought Guiteau responsible for his crime. < Mr. Gobell, in the insurance business, H. T. Ketcham, a lawyer, Mr. Wood, and Samuel D. Pbelps, a broker, each testified to the perfect sanensss of the assassin, whose bitterness of language increased as the insanity dodge was weakened by their evidence. TWENTY-FIFTH DAT. Rev. Dr. John L. Withrow, of Boston, was placed upon the witness stand. He Baid the prisoner desired to deliver a lecture in his (wit ness') church, in answer to Ingersoll, but wit ness declined to have the church used for that purpose, Witness observed him during the winter at meetings aud social gatherings of the church. Never saw the least indication of unsoundness of mind, but, on the contrary, thought he pot-sessed unusual shrewdness. Correcting himself, witness added : " I should say cuteness." Guiteau--" What'B the difference, doctor?" Answer--"The one means brighter than the other." CoL Corkhill--"And of larger caliber." Guiteau--" He didn't say that, CorkhilL You must have slept well last night. That's the smartest thing you have said yet." Wituess said the prisoner generally took part in discussions upon whatever subject might bfe under discussion , that he was always critical and accusative rather than concilatory and kind. • Guiteau--"I always spoke to the point, in- the brutal treatment to which women were subjected under the-o.d common law oi En gland. Mr. Vest vigo1 on«ly opposed the ap pointment of the commitlee. To confer the ballot upon them would, in his opinion, have the effect to lower tlieiu to the grado of the war 1 politician, the comitnble and the Justice of the Peace. Mr. rinmb introduced a bill to amend tbe statutes so as to make mandatory the issue of gold certified s. A favorable re port was made on the bill to straighten the northern boundary of N brn-ilta. Mr. Garland's Presidential-Succession bill was discussed again on the 15th at considerable' length in the Senate by Mr. Garland, who de fended the bill, and who urged the nccessity for tbe adoption of some such measure, and by Beck, and Jones of Florida, who took excep tion to some of the provisions of the measure. Mr. Hoar's Woman-Sull'rage Committee res olution was discussed briefly, Mr. Vest indulging in some caustic remarks. He said that to establish woman suffrage would add "tremendously" to the volume of illiterate voters, and that, while the "women" of the "lousaiiu wot Kansas, iuti oduced a resolution instructing the Committee on Pensions to inqinre and report what increase of pension, if any, should be allowed the widow of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Hale introduced four bills on the subject of Congressional reapportionment, in order to bring the whole subject before the Census Comm.ttee, of which he let Chairman, with a view to secnring final legislative actiou on the sifbject during the present socsion. The following ainoiifi other bills were introduced L>y Mr. Coke: To regulate inter-State commerce and to prohibit unjust discrimination by common carriers; by Mr. Bed;, to repeat taxes on de posits with' banks, banting associations aud bankers; by Mr. Piuinb, to authorize the issue of silver certificates and standard silver dollars on deposit of silver bullion. Af ter listening to the views of Secretary Folger, the Senate Finance Committee unanimously indorsed John Sherman's i 8-per-cent. Funding bill, with amendments pro- j viding that not over ^25,0(0,000 in deposits ! shall be received at one time, and that the i bonds to be issued shall not oxceed $200,000,- i 000. The House was not in session. I Mr. Voorhees addressed the Senate on the I 16th mst, in opposition to the recommendation ' of Secretary Folger as to the limitation of sil- | ver coinage. He criticised Secretary Sherman's Twelve Men purned to Death In. a Roardl(iEr-BEouM«. A terrible accident occurred on the line of the Lake Erie railroad, seven miles from Pittsburgh. A laborers' boarding-house was set ou fire by the explosion of a lamp, and'of forty persons known to be sleeping only twenty-eight escaped alive, and even they were more or leas burned. Not one of them succeeded ia securing his clothes, so rapid was the progress of the flames. The others were literally roasted to death, without the possibility of <fn effort being made to rescue them. The victims were railroad laborers, and were work ing at the place indicated. The building was a one-story frame structure, with an attic or loft. The lower part was used for a dining-room and kitchen. Into this loft forty-three stal wart men retired to sleep after finish-^ ing the day's work. It was reached by a flight of stairs which started from near the kitchen door. There were no windows, but, in hen of them, (here were two small holes iu the roof to admit light and air. Ttiese were olosod at night by a sliding door, to keep out the cold. In the morning the keeper of the board- mg-bouse, Hugh McCune, got up to build a fire in the kitchen stove, carrying with him an ordinary kerosene lamp, which he placed upon a table while he went for kindling-wood. It is supposed that, during his absence, the lamp chimney burst and lay some means threw the lamp upon the floor, allowing the oil to run out. The stairway was composed of light, dry pine boards, and they were soon ablaze. The flames quickly spread to the loft, where the unfortunate meu were sleep ing, all unconscious of the terrible fate which awaited them. The floor of the loft was covered with straw-beds and bedding. The flames made rapid progress, and soon reached this mass of inflammaole material. About this time the sleepers were aroused by the cries of the females employed about the plaee, and they at once made a rush for the stairs, but they were confronted by a wall of fire which forced them back in dismay. A rush was then made for the open ings in the roof by the half-crazed men, and a struggle for life took place, each trying to crowd the other out of the way, as only one at a time could be forced through iha apertures on account of their small size. Some of the poor fellows, seeing that all could not escape in this way, caught at anv shadow of hope that offered, and tried to da«h down the stairs and through the flames, oui.v to meet a horrible death. The man had not time tp*clothe themselves, so sudden was the alarm, aud so quickly did the fire mike headway. Those who saade their escape, however, seemed so bewil dered by the sudden outburst of the flames, and the cries of their companions, that they rushed back into the burning building, at tempting to save their little property. At this moment the crash cam®. The frail walls, weakened by the attacks of the flamed, crushed in upon the unfortunates, and their cries for help were drowned in the roar of the, flames. The scene at this moment can not be described. Shreks and groans wont up | on every side from the poor unfortunates, who i had been burned and scorched in a sickening | manner. Strong men, with great patches of | skin and flesh peeled from then- bodies by the i touch of the fire, rolled upon the ground in { their agony. I FOREIGN RELATIONS. to my cell as a *py in the employ of the District Attornev." Gen. lievnolds read from notes he had taken on the occasion of his first interview with Guiteau.^ Quoting tlie_ prisoner's words, he j financial polioy, and intimated that President Arthur and Secretary Fo ger were mere agents of the national banks. He defended the greenback theories of a few years ago, and claimed that they bad triumphed. Ho was very severe on monopolies, corpora lions, etc. Mr. Van Wyck presented a petition from 3,000 citi/.e; b of Nebraska, praying for an i Inter-State commerce bill to prohibit railway i discriminations. The President nominated B. ! H. Brewster to be Attorney General ; N. A. i Aduus for Pension A.-.ent at St. Louis and : Wallace It. Finch as Survevor of. Cus- i toms at La Crosse, Wis. in the House j 8C7 bills were introduced, among them the fol- I lowing : By Mr. Townsend, of Ohio, to appro- | pnate $50,000 for the relief of the widow of | President Garfield; by Mr. Neal, of Ohio, to j incorporate ttie Garfield Memorial Hospital Society; by Mr. Mdler, providing for the dis charge in bankruptcy of one or more of the in nocent members of a partnership when another partner has been guilty of some illegal act; by Mr. Shallenberger, to prevent persons Living in bigamy from holding any oftieo of trust or emolument m the United States Territories, aud regulating marriage in the Territories; I by Mr. Cb aimers, to pay the pnblic ! debt and stop the manufacture of I money by corporations; by Mr. Hatch, to permt planters to sell tobacco of their own production without payment of license or tax, to the amount of twenty-five pounds annually. Mr. Robinson, of Now York, tried to make him- ! self heard upon the question of imprisonment , of American citizens in Ireland, but the Speaker ! called him to order. A resolution was adopted for a holiday recess from Dec. 21 to Jau 5. : ojJoaKei ixeiier announced the following as the ; committee on the expenses attending the ill- pessand bnnal of Pro-ident Gar Ik Id : Tav- read : "If there is a stalwart in the land, I am he. Gn.nt, Conkling, Logan and Gov. Cornell are big guns among the stalwarts, and I rank with them." Guiteau retorted: " I never said I could rank with them ; but as a matter of fast I think 1 can." A number of newspaper slips which witness had read to the prisoner at this interview, to Bbow him what were the sentiments of Grant, Conkling and others m regard to his (the pris oner's) crime, were then read by the District Attorney. When the letter of Gen. Grant's was read, in which the writer, speaking of Guiteau, said : "My son tells me he is a dead-beat," Guiteau became very tngry and shouted: "This is what Fred Grant says. He's a nice pill, isn't he ? Hanging tround his father. I should say he is a biggej* dead-beat than I am." Another passage was read, which spoke of Guiteau's crime as a "most audacious act.'" Guiteau interrupted : "And so it was, to enter that depot and shoot down the President of the United States, surrounded as it was by all his friends. I hare wondered at it a good many times--how Iiever did it I thought to myself this morning I would not undertake it again for a million qpllarn, but I was in such a desperate st .te of nind I could not resist. I was impelled upon tqp President by a pressure I could not resist." Ellen C. Grant rtas called, aud Guiteau shouted : " Mrs. Griit is the lady I boarded with prior to the 1st « July. She is a very fine lady, and I owo hcrtiH7. I trust I shall pay you soon, Mrs. Grant.! A- soon as ihcse fellows holding fat offices sBall respond to mv call (striking the table excitedly).

If they don't soon Secre^firy Blaine's Letter to Minister LoWell-A Document Which made tl*c British Lion Lash His Tail. the letter of Secretary Blaine to Minister Lowell, explaining the position of this Govern ment in reference to a modification of the layton-Bulwer treaty, dated at the State De ar tment, Nov. 19, 1881, and transmitted to ingress by the President on the 15th inst., in mm-4* --' •! Ik. to ft lengthy and comprehensive docu ment. It is couched in plain, stibigh^orward language, with but li.tle of the flavor of diplomacy about it. It was intended solely for the instruction of Min ister Ljwell and not for the public eye, and Mr. Lowell is expressly notified that, nnless re quested to do so by Lord Granvide, the British Minister of Foreign Affairs, he is not to fur nish him with a copy, the reason being that the fiirtign pol.cy of Great Britain is dis cussed in it in a manner not altogethei com plimentary. In lite letter Mr. Blaine declares that the conditions under which the Clay ton-Bui wer treaty were made have long since ceased to ex ist, and can never be reproduced. The devel opment of the Pacific States has created new duties and responsibilities for our Govern ment, and to the proper discharge of those duties a modification of the treaty is neces sary. In reference to the Panama canal, it says that it would be no more unreasonable for the United States to demand a share in the Suez canal fortifications, or their neutrali zation, than for England to make demand for tno perpetual neutralization of the Panama canal. Mr. Blaine takes occasion to reaffirm the Monroe doctrine, and suggests tho follow ing modifications in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty: That every part which forbids the United States ^fortifying the canal and holding political control over it m couuection with the United States of Colombia be canceled; that every part in which Great Britain aud the United States agreed to make no acquisition of territory in Central America shall lemaiu in force'; that the United States will not object to maintain tiie clause referring to the establishment of a free port at each end of the caual, it England de sires that provision retained; aud that the provision by whicn the two Governments agree to a joint protectorate of whatever railroad or canal may be constructed be considered obsolete. The letter closes with the statement that the United States will make joint proclamation with the country in which the caual is located that it shall be open in time of peace to the commerce of every country, but in tune of war will be im partially closed to war-vessels of all nations.

The exciting and stimulating prop erties of pure oxygen are welt known, and every one has felt the invigorating influence of fresh air, yet no practical application has been made of these ben eficial properties of a substance so cheap and universal.

The Hygiene of thb Face and Ersa. --It is a mistake to believe that a good complexion depends upon the use of such and suck cosmetics. It really de pends upon digestion, which itsell de pends upon our mode ol' life. Persona who rise early and go to bed regularly at 10, who take plenty of air and exer cise, eat with moderation at regular hours, having their meals at intervals long enough for the digestion of one to be thoroughly accomplished before they begin the next--these persons are sure to dicest well, and in consequence have clear" healthy complexions, which will require no other cosmetics but plenty ol soft water and good toilet soap. The hygiene of the eyes is very simple. For them, as well as for the complexion, goad digestion is equally necessary; more so, for no cosmetic could attenuate the yellow tinge which biliousness im parts to them ; and, if some myterious pencils can supply the insufficient shad ow of rare eyelashes, good health alone» can give them that brightness which is their principal beauty. Never read in bed or in a reclining attitude ; it pro vokes a tension of the optic nerve very fatiguing to the eyesight. Bathe your eyes daily in salt water; not salt enough, though, to cause a smarting sensation. Nothing is more strengthening, and we have known several persons, who, after using this simple tonic for a few weeks, had put aside the spectacles they had used for years, and did not resume them, con tinuing, of course, the ofJ«%peated daily use of salt water.^-N€ver force your eyesight to read, or/work in insufficient or too broad ligut. Reading with the sun upon one's book is mortally injuri- dhs to the eyes. Yillianous LiterAtnre. / The law is easily applied to tbe sup pression of any public nuisance Buch as a slaughter house or glue factory if it be erected in a district already thickly in habited. It may be more difficult to put an end to a moral source of corruption like the villainous sheets which are now pub lished for the instruction of boys in all kinds of recklessness and crime, but some methoil'should be devised for cheek ing the evil. Scarcely a month has elapsed fnr yoara past in which wa not been compelled to describe the run- j ning away of boys to hunt buffaloes and { kill Indians, or even with the intention j of becoming robbers. Some months I ago some youths were arrested in Canada i who were fitting out a boat for piracy on I the lakes, and two boys in Illinois ! -wrecked a train, with fatal results, solely through the influence, as they admitted, of the sensatioual papers for juveniles. It may be hard to frame a law that shall be specific aud yet comprehensive enough to check the circulation of this demoral izing periodical literature, but surely the effort should be made by our Legisla tures. Until this is done, parents should be doubly on the watch as to their child-- ren's reading and influence should be ex erted with retail dealers to induce them to stop the traffic in such poison.--Cin cinnati Gazette. tribute I shall call out - their names iu meeting" . !

That's the point, J udge; and it knocks the bottom out of your theory." After a short pause he broke out again, and with increased vehemence : " I'm not hero to save my neck from the gallows. I'm here for vindication, for justice, aud for right." Judge Cox--" Well, that will do bow. Sot* pend your remarks." Guiteau--"All right.

It is one of the wofct misfortunes of women that falsehood is not, as a rule, considered a dishonor Imong them. To call a man a liar is lie calling him a coward--an offense to 4e very soul and heart of his manhood, 4e very integrity of his being. To call al woman deceit ful, a romancer, or faiifier, is not to honor her, certainly, bulnot to dishonor her as it Would dishouorher husband or brother. She is privileled to wear two faces under one hood, bfcause nothing better is expected from hk, and society condemns her sin as the sh of weakness, which she is expected to ammit, just you expect a frayed rope \ break.--Ex change. Shelley. A Rule That Works Both Ways. "That must be a false rulo," says the ' Interior, "requiring virtue, cleanliness j and good temper and conduct in women, | while men may go on to any length al- i most, and society one and all wink, if not blink at our faults. Whatever de grades a woman also degrades a man. Take some of the vices and habits of the day. A man smokes a filthy cigar, or' carries about a half an ounce of tobacco in his cheek, and yet expects his wife to preserve a clean mouth and a sweet breath. Again, a young man starts out to spend the evening with his adored Evelina. Should he find her not at home, but in the neighboring saloon, however genteel it might be, that would be his last visit. In his estimation she would have sunk below his level, and yet that young man himself is a daily visitor to that same saloon, and engages in all its exercises." I The Deadly Aeonlte. i An English lady, traveling among the j Himalaya Mountains, frequently met i with shepherds driving flocks of sheep. ! Noticing that each sheep was muzzled, | she inquired the reason. She was told that it was to prevent grazing by the way, and thus becoming poison**? by the aconite plant, which grows everywhere among the herbage. So deadly w#s its nature that if the naked feet of the na tives only press upon it, they frequently swell so as to prevent them from walk ing. Sometimes the natives whg collect its root for sale have been known to die on their way back from the market town. THE MARKETS. At Yorktown. The Yorktown celebration recalls the memory of old "Uncle Nelse" a colored veteran who used to act as guide over the field at Yorktown "befo* de wall." He had heard the story of the surrender so often, and talked over it so much, that early in life he became persuaded that he was really there and saw the wliol ' affair, and a dialogue with a party of visitors would run in this wise: 1 So, you're quite certain, uncle, that you were here and saw it all?" "O, sartin fo' shuah, massa." "Is it possible! Well, now, tell us all about it." "Well, you see, Massa Lawd 0awn- wallis he stood right dali, and Massa Gineral Washington he stood right heah.
