Hcovilio wks abtut to resume the examination when Guiteau struck the table violently and ealled out: "Kake the matter short. It's simply a matter of fact for the jury to,deter­ mine whether my free agency was destroyed or not. I claim it was, and I won't have you compromise my life, as you are doing, by your stupid, blunderbuss way of examining wit­ nesses." As the cxamiration proceeded Guiteaii fre­ quently interrupted, and rouudly abused Sco­ ville for hi* incompetency, and charged him with compronmiiiK his case. Turning toward the Judgef Guiteau added, depreciatingly: "Scoville is a perfect idiot in this matter, and between him and Corkhill I htyve a pretty hard time. [General laughter.] I'm a good- natured man [laughing], but I can't stand a buzz, aad when I'm uuzzed I want to talk right back." Sooville, who had borne everything heretofore with apparent equanimity, seemed to feel very keenly this last evidence of heartless ingrati­ tude. His voice trembled, and for a minute he was unable to go* on. Even the prisoner real­ ized the injustice of his conduct, and hastened to apologize, saying, " You are doing very well, Scoville--to the best of your ability.", Several times afterward during the exam- | ination of Dr. Worcester Guiteau denounced Scoville, at one time with evident anger, and again with a sarcastic smile. "Why, your Honor," he shouted out, "if I were ind cted for manslaughter I would be banged for mur­ der if Scoville should defend me." mrs. Scoville reached over to speak to Gui­ teau, when he snarled at her: " You keep your mouth shut. You're as bijj a fool as your hus­ band. You're a crank on this business.

Witness believed, judging the evidence to which he had istened, including that of the prisoner himself, ind from the appearance and conduct of the prisoner, that ho is a sane man. The hypo- (hetieal questions put to Dr. Wooster yesterday were then read to witness, and ho replied : "I ihould say he was sane." Witness was questioned at great length; and, >uis unswers indicating great conservatism of Opinion, Scoville finally asked: " WelL doctor, how old do you think a physician ought to be before ho is able to distinguish between a sane ind an insano man ?" Wiincss replied that he himself was not yet }ld enough to distinguish between sane and in- iane people. Guiteau (laughingly)--" That's the best thing i'ou have said yet, doctor. Ladies and gentle- nen, you ste^'m letting Scoyillo do most of the asking te-day ; Pm keeping quiet. "I opened my mail myself tnis morning" ^holding up twenty or more letters). "Pretty ;ood mail, too, aa<^ only one crank letter in the wiiole lot. All from liigh-toned people, too. rtiev are beginning to think better of me out­ side. High-toned ladies are sending for my autcjprapli. They think I'm a big man, but 1 ion t care a snap whether I'm a big man or a little one." The prisoner buiied nmiself reading his let­ ters, snd soon broke out again, Baying : *• Well, [ (lid not notice this before, ladies aud gentle­ men, I have just ^received a letter from Dr. Spitzka, in which lie says he has received 200 tetters since he returned from Washington, all sougiatuLiting buu upoti his testimony ; that tie has only received two threatening ones, and two from lunatics--a pretty good showing, I think, when he came ou here for nothing aud did not get a cent, while these fellows are hand­ somely paid by tb4 Government. Then, here is another one from Mr. lieatty." Judge Cox--"Well, that will do, prisoner. We have not time to listen to the reading of your correspondence." Guiteau--"All ri^ht, sir." The witness was asked if he thought itwonld be any indication oi insanity for a man of ma­ ture ye^r#/ who honestly Bvlieved he was in­ spired CofliiU the jp'tesident of the United States, and who 1 honestly believed that, when liis motives! were known to the people, they would ijot only excuse .but applaud his act, ami replied : "If he honestly believed that, aud hia will wa» dominated by tbe convic­ tion, it would be an aidication of insanity." V Mr. Scoville--" I Fit is not impertinent* D^so- tor, in this day and generation, 1 will ask you if you have ever devoted any attention to the subject, or believe in inspiration?" Answer--" Well, not specially." Guiteau--" Well, Doctor, if God could inspire a man 2,000 years ago, why could He not do so now? Is tnere anything different inhuman nature?' Mr. Scoville--" I h»ve no objection to yonr an waring, Doctor.' Th : question nas read again to the witness, and be replied : " If the Lord did inspire anybody 2,000 years ago, He can now, if He chooses." Gu.teau--"That's my idea. He not only can, but He did iu this case." When the witness was dismissed Guiteau sKotited out : " Tncsc experts may be all high- toned, honorable men, but, in my opinion, they hang more men thau the doctors kilL" Growing more and more excited, he declaimed for some minutes, and said: "Gen. Gartield would be alive to-day had it not been for the doctors. They completed what my shot began. The Lord intended he should go, and so He let the doctors kill him. He didn't die before his tune, though." A Finished Fish Story. The latest fish story is about a bass, inside of which was found " what was said by one to be m young cat, by an­ other a young tiger, and by a third a young dog." No doubt it was a young tiger. Such animals are often found in pass, ^Jt was only two weeks ago that a fifteen-pound young hippopotamus was found inside of a two-pound baas caught m the. Schuylkill.

A very large quantity of skunk fur is also shipped from this city. It is used for trimmings in this country, and is often frnssed of for Alaska sable. The arger part of the skunk catch probably goes to France and Germany. The otter is one of the tnost Valuable and rare fur bearing animals trapped in Maine. Not more than 1,000 otters are annually caught in the whole State. The skins make a beautiful and warm fur, which is highly valued by the Russians, Greeks and Chinese. Tiie fur is a dark glossy brown, and two kitids, one being soft, short, and thick and the other longer aud coarser and intermixed with the former. The value of a dress skin runs from SIC to $18. Most of the otter skins caught in this state are sent almost around the world in the course of trade before reach­ ing the place where they are finally worn. They are sometimes sent frow Lewiston to New York, thence to Lon­ don, to Ltipsic, Moscow, Nijni, Nov­ gorod, and finally to a destination ir China, where they will warm some higli and mighty mandarin. A large number oi "fishers" are trapped in Maine, and 8 good many sables annually find theii way to the market. The value of oui sable or beech martin is much less thai that of the Russian sable, which is thf most costiy pf all furs. It,, is a smal animal, about three times as large as th< common weasel.

One of the most disagreeable of Amer­ ican characteristics is the impertinence and noisy obtrusiveness of children. In no other civilized country do children behave half so badly, in other lands children are restrained, suppressed, and taught that their clamor is not agreea­ ble, and that respect for elders requires them to keep their silence until they are asked to speak. In no other land do children ever think of joining in con­ versation unbidden, or of expressing opinions and intention? in'a confident tone and manner, as is oommon among us. #And in no other land are all infants and growing children regarded as prodi­ gies to be exhibited like educated par­ rots and rare Madagasker poodles. It is this habit of exhibiting children as pre­ cocious that does more to spoil them and make them intolerable than any native faults of their own ; for a child of seven years naturally finds difficulty in understanding why the impertinences and personalities which were considered so 44 cunning" at tour years have become improper and a nuisauce in a very short time. Mothers will find that, if they constantly display their infants as prodi­ gies of sweetness and smartness, those infants, grown to seven or twelve years', will be apt to be an affliction to all with whom they come in contact. The modest, quiet, and deferential manner of chil­ dren iu England or France never fails to make an American traveler very grateful and very tftoughtful indeed. For the boistt rousnt ss mid audacity of the young of this land affect not only society and personal comfort, but have an important bearing on the future of this country's welfare. This prevalent loudness should be reformed altogether--and that at once.--Andrews' Bazar. A Little Two-Year-Old's- Mea «f a Baby. A little 2-ye<ar-old tot, 'the daughter of a well-knotvn resident of this city, re­ ceived among her birthday presents a little gutta percha doll of the 'kind that squeaks when compressed. Against this doll the little one manifested the strong- est repugnance, calling it a "kweaky dolly," and could never be induced to jecognize it as a legitimate member of her doll family. Last week another doll came into that household of the kind which the angels are said jto bring, and the little heroine of this narrative was' taken to tys, mother's chamber to see the new arrival. Barely had she caught a glimpse of the little stranger, ensconsed Writing Compositions. The use of too many words is one of the greatest faults in writing. We were attracted the other day by an article in a uewspaper entitled "Gumption," and hastily concluded that a writer who could use so homely ftWJ sttftng a #ord as the title to hi? article inust have something good to shy ^ a bout it. And so ho had ; but he employed a wide superbundance of words to express his thoughts. For example: ' "There aire many persoris, the major­ ity of persons, in fact, who see, but do not perceive." This awkward sentence becomes a good one by simply leaving out the re­ dundant words, thus: "The majority of persons see, but do not perceive." It would still be better, perhaps, to avoid the long word majority, and say: " Most persons see, but do"not perceive." Thus, by erasing nine words from a sentence of sixteen, the thought is more clearly expressed beooRise it is more directly stated. The writer then remarks that many persons have a habif of " post­ poning and putting off, what ought to be done at onoe." The ""words "and" and " postponing" are useless. In ex­ plaining the " process" by which men are to get gumption, he throws about his words with a lavish hand. ".It is neither," he- says, "more nor less than the doing and completing of anything that needs to be done on the instant, without delay or postponement, and at the same time a careful observa­ tion of what is going1 on around one." By tho omission of more than half the words of this bad sentence, it is converted into a fairly tolerable one: " It is the doing of what needs to be done upon the instant, and carefully ob­ serving what is going on atound." ' We advise our young readers, after they have "done" there compositions, to let them lie in their desks awhile, "to get oool," as Washington Irviug used to say. Then go over them again, bearing in mind Sydney Smith's recipe for good writing, " leave out every other word.' It is often possible to obe^y this rule almost literally, as we see in the sen­ tences quoted above. Daniel Webster tells ng that whatevei excellence he may have attained in the art of composition, he owed to a dis­ covery winch he made when he was about nineteen years old. He learned that "all true power in writing is in the idea, not the style." From that time he pruned his ^sntonces of-redundant words, and gave, hie ideas with directness anc simplicity. The Right Time to Kiss. An observant and evidently discrimin­ ating young reader of the Times writes to say that he has read with lively sati- faction the occasional expositions of kiss­ ing iji the various moods and tenses that he is still in doubt as to the right time to begin kissing. He retails at some length the embarrassments that this uncertain­ ly has brought upon him, and begs the publication of his letter in full, that others who are similarly situated may contrilmjf wto the discussion and thus • make tV| Ntter clear to thbse who are willing tfL* ,'inid. His own experience is not without cer­ tain oniiiuq Interest. rHe ̂ has knowff ' the ' 'th& swee'test girl in the world" ever since he left school. She belongs to a family that considers it a first duty to "live up ,to the dining-room dado and the blue china" that garnishes the side- bo. ird and table. ,The mother holds kiss­ ing in abomination and is fond of remark­ ing that the "intellect is not fed through the lips;" that a kiss is a purely fleshly perversion'of the sweet intimacy of BBsthetic love. Under such a frowning providence the young girl he adores dis­ plays an aversion to kissing him good­ night, in welcoming him with this lover's privilege when he comes of an evening to take her to church, the theater or what not. a This, it Will be seen, is a rather trying pliglit for a young lover---for a kiss is the visible sign and token of an inner senti­ ment which no words can express. The eyes and the tongue do a great deal of appreciable work in love-making, but the meeting of the Hps is the sign and seal, the chrism, so to speak, which trans­ forms the earthly into the divine. Love without a kiss would be like the harp without the hand, the raiubow without its hue; the book without its babble; tbe landscape without its colors; the tea-rose --sweetest flower for scent that blows-- without its odor; the borealis without its variations; poetry without rhythm; spring without sunlight; a garden without foli- agfe or marriage without love. The young woman whose ideals teaoli her to recoil from a kiss cheats the lover of the joys of loving and does not deserve the devotion of a manly heart. She mayltve up to the dining-room dado and the sideboard bric- a-btac, but she will never prove a con­ genial wife, and our correspondent will save his heart-strings many a future wrench by leaving" her to .her dado and bric-a-brac.--Philadelphia Times. Bores. There are tarions orders of men. The old saw has it, "It takes all kinds of people to make a world." We believe it. We believei it more snd more. We see living arguments enforcing the fact every day of our. life. /One has just walked out «'.ir office. We bowed -St him out with smiling grape, but now his back it. turned, we venture a preach­ ment. It happened in a certain profes- x sional institution, years ago, that one of these amiable bores was a student. We beg him to forgive us, if he Bees this incident; but, then, these creatures are not thin-skinned. He was a most excel­ lent scholar--more's the pity--standing * well in his classes. He possessed alar^e fund of knowledge--knew too much, in fact; and when he had once buttonholed you, woe be to any other engagement. Only a legal process would release yon. After the holidays, one year, it happened that he was late in getting back to his work. The question was mooted at com­ mons, "Where is P. ?" "Oh," replied 'the wag of the class, "Phil is engaged in telling one of his stories, and hasn't got through." Ethnography affords an opportunity of studying the races, kindreds and todgues of the earth. The Anglo-Saxon, the North American Indian, the Slay, ha ve their ch aracteristics sharply defined. We have the Bimana Quadrumana, and so on, in zoology, but are at a loss with what class to place the Boret. Like the winged creatures which Ezekiel saw, they are endowed with several mouths. They set them going, and go off and leave them to their own sweet will. A . sort of learned cherub, they fly to and fro with their four wings, resting where one is distraetingly busy. We have been wondering what is to be done with them. It is possible here lies the settlement of the Indian question. Why not send a regiment of them to the far West? If the aborigines only knew they were coming, the Pacific would be full of dusky suicides. Or if that is not feasible, why should not public men employ3 professional bores? And then, when Greek met Greek, would come the tug of war. It would be as huge a joke as setting two deaf people to entertaining one another. When the interview was finished, they would sympathize with the cats of the green isle. But, seriously, we have little faith in these propositions, although we claim originality .in mooting them. The Ex­ istence of bores belongs to the unsolved mysteries curtained by the infinite. Doubtless they have as good a right to live as the miserable little gnats which are able to cause temporary insanity in a fine colt. We hardly hope to expose their final cause in so brief a paper. The German specialist spent his life on the Greek article. On bis death-bed he mournfully regretted that he had not confined himself to one inflection. Such a subject as this grows on us; "it in­ flates, it expands, it formulates," as the curbstone orator remarked. New vistas open to our vision. We dare not follow tneir fascinating beck. Here is a field for the scientist. He may win .new laurels, and gain the everlasting regard of future generations. How shall the bores be suppressed? What courteous extinguisher may be employed? Is there any help in the "liver-pad" or the electrical disk? We pause for reply. But, after all, while we wait, we re­ member in this world, patience is to have its perfect work. We" know of no sharper chisel for the carving of such a statue for the gallery of our life than « , semi-weekly visitation of bores. Tthej^ lwso,iia notionolity j they oqpmb- ^ politan. Like the wandering Jew, they live forever. They penetrate to the public assembly, the prayer-meeting, the business office. Sometimes they have books to sell, quite often a map of the world, a bankrupt f;tock of woolens. They are getting up a history of the town; twenty-five dollars will place your life-size portrait on the page and \ tell all about your grandfather. They have fruit-trees for our rural friend, which cause more trouble than that one in a certain garden years ago. They have a patent lightning-rod, and you wish the lightning had struck them long before they saw your home. 1 But of all horned cattle, to use a simile of the immortal Horace--the great editor, we mean--the religious bore is the most detestable. You may know him wherever you see him. Avoid him as the plague. You may place after his name a D. D. (dignified dullness), but drown him out with a good old Methodist hymn when his time is up ; if he gets into the pulpit to preset any "cause," cause him to retire as »n as possible. It has been Bome little time since our door closed, and our irritation has oozed out at our pen-tip; and we suppose we shall be blander than ever when the next seedy caller appears with "a patent preparation for the removal of grease-spots without the slightest injury to the fabric."--Providence Journal. j Thibtt-pour men in Uvatde county, i Texas, own and graze over 2,000,000 1 sheep.
