William A. Hammond, John Ashnrst, or Philadelphia, J. Marion Sims, of Mew Ton, and John T. Hodgea, of St. Louis on the sorgtel treatment of President Garfield. Dr. Asbnrst says the mistake made regarding the course of the ball wae unavoidable ; that there waa no evidence of malaria in the Presi­ dent's system ; that there was no pyaemia in the modern sense of the word, implying metastatic abscesses in the lungs and liver after death ; that at no time would the surgeons have been warranted in attempting to remove the ball; that during his entire illness the President was insufficient ly nourished, owing to the rebellious disposition of his stomach ; that the antiseptic treatment was carried as far as should have been ; and that, in short, everything wae done that should have been of benefit. Dr. Suns says that probing was impossible. Death was inevitable with hie npine injured as it was. Tho wonder is that he lived so long. He had pya>mia from July 22 at least The curgeons did all that was possible--all that the present state of medical science would permit. Dr. Hodgcn says it is incomprehensible how the President lived six hours «ith such a wound. Even-thing possible was properly done. Noth­ ing even imprudent was attempted, and ever/ hAir the President lived beyond six after he was shot was the result of every available re­ source of medical science being skillfully and constantly applied. Dr. Hammond believes the President did not have the best medical treatment, and that ,the wound waa not neom- sarily fatal. \ J DURING the three months ending the 81st of October the Irish National Land League sent to the Treasurer of the organization in Ireland f 127,835. The California Land League sent in addition <4,109. A SESSION of the Industrial League of America waa held in Philadelphia--Joseph Wharton presiding--at which resolutions were adopted condemning the decision of the Treas­ ury Department inimical to protective duties, and calling on Congress to remedy the evil results growing from these decisions; favoring the appointment of civilian Commissioners to report on the progress, needs, rod conditions of American in­ dustries ; advocating the reduction of internal- revenue taxes and the encouragement of Amer­ ican shipbuilding and shipowners' interests. A National Tariff Convention, composed of delegates from every section of the country, held a two days session in Chicago. Resolutions were adopted that the protective policy had . provided the revenue to subdue the Rebellion and diminish the public debt, and also turned the balance of trade in our favor ; that maritime property should be exempt from State, muni­ cipal and local taxation, and that the internal revenue should be gradually reduced. The National Labor Congress met in Pittsburgh, Resolutions were offered demanding the repeal of the Conspiracy act and the abolition of prison labor, and declaring that no man should be permitted to hold more land than be can till.

Secretary of the Interior Kirk wood, in hia annual report, says that during the last fisoal year about 6,900 miles of subsidized aud land- grant railroads, subject to tbe supervision of the bureau, had been examined, and their books, especially those of the Union Pacifio and Central Pacific roads, carefully com­ pared with the reports rendered' by the com­ panies. Ho says : " Although tbe past severe and protracted winter was accompanied by unusual floods and storms, which destroyed much prop­ erty and materially increased the expenditures for maintaining the same, it was noticeably that a fcubsiautial improvement in tho properte of the roads in which the Government has di­ rect interest had been made, and in general the reports rendered indicate a marked increase in their business." t Following are the gross and net earnings of the Pacific roads for the year ending June 30, Union Pacific--Gross earnings, 122,765.752; operating expenses, til,474,910; net earnings. $11,290,842.

Secretary Kirwood reports, however, that work upon the road is being pushed rapidly forward, and anticipated that the hne will be completed and trains running to El Pa«o on the first day of Januarv next. The Secretary suggests that the Thnrmaa aot of May 7. 1878. should bo so amended as tof embrace the subsidized portion of the Kansas division of the Union Pacific railway. Kational Crop Reports. The last report issued by the Department of Agriculture at Washington is summarized as follows: Cotton.--The indicated yield of cotton per acre is considerably less than last year. The reported decrease is 33' per cent, in Louisiana, 40 per cent, in Texas, and nearly 60 per cent, in Arkansas. North Carolina makes a return of 80 per cent, less yield than in 1880- South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi re port better condition, and the prospects are for the crop not much below those of last year in those States. Florida reports a de­ crease of 15 per cent., Alabama an increase of 13, Tennessee a decrease of 42. Virginia is not included as a cotton State, its product being insignificant. Wheat--The average yield of wheat per acre in 1881 is 10% bushels, against 13.1 in 1880, in­ dicating a decrease of about 20 per cent., or 100.000,000 bushels, from last year's product. In the interior and Western States there has been a great falling off, caused by the severe winter, the late, cold spring, drought, and, in several States, insect ravages ; but, while the quantity of the crop is reduced, the quality is generally reported very good. Corn. --The November returns of corn show an average yield of twenty and one-half bush­ els per acre, indicating a falling off of atout 25 per cent, from the crop of 1880, caused chiefly by the general drought during the growing sea­ son, and by exoe»Hiv« rains since the crop was harvested. The quality of the crop is some­ what below the average, ipsa the de- •It ia This is not the time to enter ai fense," said Judge Cox, quietly. "It is only a question whether more time is necessary for preparing the defense." "It is not needed," said Guiteau. " We are ready to go on with the ease noW Mr. Robinson smiled at this and Qui teas |o sit down. "> "f~ The pris Oner said: "Yen keep sftll." )5ut i Us did ait down, muttering, as he So ; "We are ready to go ahead now.' CoL Coiklr.ll said he saw no why the time should be extended. Mr. Robinson made sn affidavit that the sole Bround on which he asked dfelflff was in draer to get the necessary witnesses and counsel. He said he waa practically %lone in the case Slid needed some one. There was developed an evident split be­ tween Messrs. Scoville and Robinson. Mr. flcoville, addressing the court, said that Mr. Bobinaon's application Was pistto:>i||iout his knowledge, which was certainly a strange pro- ""J: since he had not even seen tlie afiida- :ard what counsel hoped to get. For ie was ready to go on with the triaL lie was incompetent to go ahead with- " nce, but be had hoped without' Mr. i assistance to be able to proceed. Even oas 1 e hoped to be of somo assistance to Mr. Rfn son, but if he was to go oa m this way, hi! (Scoville) should withdraw. Herd Guiteau jumped to his feet and said, in an excited munner : "I indorse every word he says. Robinson came into this case without oonsulffng me, and I don't lii*e tne way he talks. I order him peremprtoriljP td withdraw from the case." : Mr. Robinson renewed hisappMeatt<|ti. Mr. Scovilie claimed the tiaar relatiTOB of the prisoner should at least know Who was expect­ ed to come for the defense. . < Guiteau again interposed: " We dont want Robinson, an v way. This is peremptory and he must got" Mr. Booville went on: "It, we hare time snougl^ we could get counsel go«d eSough and rnty without money, but if the %ofrt is going give us time and at the same time assign eounsel I dou't agree with it" 1 T*. With this Guiteau jumped up again. Bepl ping th® table with his knuckles, he said : "Mr. Scoville is next to me in this caae. I intend to do til® business m/self. Robinson is not although in his whispered conversations. With his brother he was quite demonstrative and earnest in his manner. A colored barber' named Howard was the first juror to be cAiled and examined as to his fitness to serve. His answers showed him to 1*1 not disqualified from service, but the de- fepse <"lmtf3ntgpd him peremptorily, being the fourth peremptory challenge. Next waft a man njrm^tS LyffSh, whb KSd'tho decidBff ion that Guiteau, ought to be handed or burned. He was, of bourse, excused, 4s was ateo the next (named Baiiev) who declared his belief that Guitean was crazy. The next Was a colored man, remarkable for a frilled shirt front and dramatic posture and manner, who rej&ted the history of his past life and then was peremp­ torily challenged by the defense. In fact, it is understood Guiteau is resolved not to have a colored man on the jury. The next was an Irishman named Michael Shoohau, with a very pronouueed brogue, who had no opirifbu on the subject of Gtiiteau'g crime, except that " the man was out of his head;" fie wassworn as the sixth Juror. ' • 1 * ; ? William Talbott, an ironworker, having »n- JWerqd all-questions satisfaction of the -dM&tm, saying that he Md *<%>ver bothered his head" on the question of Guiteau'e guilt, was challenged peremptorily by the prosecu­ tion.

He could not say Whether the President was shot by the prisoner until he would hear the testimony. Of course, if an insane man did the ahooting he would fie as much guilty as anybody else. The "orazv part of the business was something else.;* No sensible man eould have dona such a thing. After cowmltatiott between oounsel and prisoner and his brother, Scoville said the defense would accept the juror, and so Wormley was sworn in as the ninth juror.

He toHBed his hat upon the desk be­ fore him, and, turning toward his brother-in- law, Scoville, hurriedly whispered something to him in an extremely-excited manner. The two entered into conversation, and Guiteau, while speaking, used his clenched fist vigorously, as it insisting upon a matter which Scoville seemed to disapprove.

Secretary Bl&ino was then called to the stand by counsel for the Government, aud tes­ tified that ho knew James A. Garfield from 1863 to the time of his death. He said, on reaching the depot the morning of the assas­ sination, the President turned to say good-by, but he insisted upon accompanying him to elm oar. He beard a pistol shot, followed al­ most immediately by another, and, tbinking there was sqme tpo«t)le, touched the rresideht for the ^uipose' of hurrying, him onward. At this moment the President threw up his arms, exclaiming: "My God! what is this-?" The Secretary, continuiuE", de­ tailed the circumstances of the removal of the President to the White House and other mat­ ters pertaining to the shooting, all of which have been published heretofore. In response to Col. Corkliill, the Secretary testified that Guit­ eau visited the department many times, seeking appointment to the Consul Generalship at Paris. He informed Guiteau there were no prospects of his receiving tho appointment, aud request- ed him to discontinue his visits. A number of letters from the files of tliQ State Department were identified by Secretary Blaine as' having been received from the prisoner, after which they were read by the District Attorney. Secretary Blaiue was cross-examined, and testified as to the locality of the shooting. He said he had received numerous letters from the prisoner, persistently urging to be assigned to speak ic the JLiune campaign. He at no time noticed anything which would indicate any de­ rangement of Guiteau's rniud. - t pcOvilie, iu questioning Blaine, referred to the difficulty whjch f^rose in the Republican' party in New York after the appointment of Collector Robertson, and requested that the Secretary explain the situation as it existed.

THE Croton Aqueduct, of New York, surpasses all modern constructions at this kind in extent and magnificence. It *as constructed in 1842. having been five years in building, under the super­ intendence of Mr. John B. Jervis, Chief Engineer. Tlie whole expense, includ- ; ing #1,800,000 for distributing pipes and amounts paid for rights-of-way and other incidental charges, was $10,375,000. In­ cluding interest and commission, the whole cost was 812,500,000. The whole length, from its source at Croton river to the distributing reservoir at Fifth avenue and Fortieth street is forty and a half miles. IT is a mistake to ""suppose that the Arctic winfer, in the higher latitudes, is a long, dreary one of opaque darkness. The iiighest latitude yet reached by man is 83 degrees 20 minutes 20 seconds, and there twilight lasts four hours and forty-two minutes on Dec. 22, the shortest day of the northern year. TVTAB will have to go some 327 miles further north than he has yet gone if be is to reach the region of absolute darkness. The pole itself is in the dark but seven­ ty-seven dayB--from Nov. *13 to Jan. 29. There is a period of about four days in the year during which the sun B bines on both poles at the same time. This is due to the fact that the sun is larger than the earth, and that his rays are bent Tby the earth's atmosphere in such a way as to converge upon its surface. REGENT botanical research has shown that tbe trunks of trees undergo daily changes in diameter. From early morn­ ing to early afternoon there is a regular diminution till the minimum is reached, when tho process is reversed, and the maximum diameter is attained at the time of twilight; then again comes a diminution, to be succeeded by an in­ crease about dawn--an increase more marked than that in the evening. Vari­ ations in diameter are believed to coincide with the variations of tension, but they are shown to be inverse to the tempera­ ture, the maximum of the one cot- 1 responding roughly to the minimum of 1 the other, and so on. In connection i with these investigations it may be re- ; marked that the height of a man is I greater in the morning than in the after- noon, and again, that, other influences | being suspended, the barometer is high- j er in the morning than in the afternoon, j AMONG the wonderful and useful in- j ventions of the times is the common J sand blast. Suppose you desire a piece f of marble for a gravestone, you cover <• the stone with a sheet of wax no thicker 1 than a wafer; then you cut in the wax • the name, date, etc., leaving the marble | exposed. Now pass it under the blast, | add the sand shall cut it away. Remove j the wax and you have the cut letters. < Take a piece of French plate glasB, say j two by six feet, cover it with fin* lace, 1 and pass it under the blast, and not a | thread of the laae will be injured, but § the sand will cut deep into the g'aas . wherever it is not covered by the lace. • Now remove the lace and you have a J delicate and beautiful figure raised on ' the glass. In this way, beautiful fig- ! ures of all kinds are cut in glass and at a small expense. The workmen can hold their hands under the blast without harm, ev^n when it is rapidly cutting away the hardest cutting glass, iron or stone, but they must look out for finger nails, for they will be whittled off .right hastily. If they put on steel thimbles to protect their nails it will do but little good, for the sand will soon whittle them away, but if they wrap a piece of soft ootton around them they are safe. You will at once see the philosophy of it. "The sand wliittles away and destroys any hard substance--even glass--but does not affect substances that are soft and yielding, like wax, cotton, fine lace, or even the human hand.

Judge Co* announced that it waa within tbe power of the court to try in the New York Legisl&trtro, and, taped being further questioned, suggested that he would make a political speech for the defence ji it was desired. Scoville explained his reason for putting the questions, saying he desired to show the feel­ ing of bitterness in political circles, with a view to ̂ proving tlie.bearing it.had upon the prison- •jp-TB mind. In reply to further questions, tho Secretary stated that after the assassination of the Presi­ dent he paid little or no attoncion to the con­ flict in the New York Legislature, and in fact thought nothing of politics.

' fteonileeijdearored tW'esplam to the oourt, but Guitean bOrrfmo more and more excited, and addre sed himself alternately to the court, to Scoville and the bailiffs, who were endeavoring yo„ Honor, and I shall do as I please about ooun­ sel." Then, turning to Booville; «Ton have ao capacity, and*4 wont have you manage my case." Then, tniping -to the balliffg, he sbonted: You mind your business, you confounded fools. Yon ain't got no sense. The court again stated to the prisoner, in de­ cided tones, that he would order his removal and proceed in his absence. To this Guiteau shouted, excitedly : "I don't care if you do. The court in bano will reverse you. and I will get a trial. You have no right to remove me." The oourt replied, in terms whioh seemed to oonvince Guitean of their sincerity: " Very weilj I shall do so if you i<ersist in any more disturb­ ance; and there are precedents in this court for such rulings." A whisixjred consultation between Guiteau and Scoville followed, and the former, apparently convinced, subsided into absolute quiet and de­ voted himself to his papers. , Ed A. W.tgner was then called as a witness, but failod to respond. Joseph H, Shyue was then sworn. He did not sfeo the shotting, but saw the prisoner at- tepiptiUK to escape und witnessed 1 be arrest. J£ll$ M. Ilidgeiy testified to hearing a conver­ sation between Guiteau and a haokman, while the former waa arranging to be driven to the cemetery. She also witnessed the shooting aud gave her evidence in a clear and straight-for­ ward manner. William F. Barker was oalled, but failed t6 appear. William 8. Crawford, wagon-driver, saw the firing. Could not see the President, but dis­ tinctly saw Guiteau aim and fire, and saw his arrest. He was questioned by Sc<*>viUe at some length, particularly as to how Guiteau wore his hat ou that occasion, Guiteau put his hat on, remarking : "They're all mistaken on that hal business; this is the way I wear my hat.*' The witness--" Well, perhaps that is the way he had it, only not quite so far back." Joseph R. Scott, Edmund L. Dubarry, Pat­ rick li. Kearney, the policeman who arrested Guiteau, Byron R. Andrews, a newspaoer cor­ respondent, and J. Stanley Brown, private sec­ retary to Gen. Garfield, "were oalled as wit­ nesses, and detailed various circumstances con­ nected with the ease of the prosecution. Guiteau, shortly before the adjournment "for the day, jumped up in his seat, and, addressing tho court, said : '• Your Honor, Judge Mag ru­ der, of Maryland, has offered to ausiat me in this trial, and I want to invite him to meet me here Monday morning. I don't know if Sco­ ville knows about it but I w$nt him in the case. Scoville is doing splendidly,»jut I want hfm to have assistance. The only way I can get any­ thing before the public is to announce it in court." No objeotion was offered, and Guiteau, ap­ parent^ satisfied, busied himself with writing, occasionally turning to-Scoville to assure him tliat Jjidge Magruder was a splendid man and he wanted him in the case. Aqqllla Barto, a colored haok-driver, testified relatid^ to Guiteau's wish to hire a hack to take him to the cemetery. Barton said tho prisoner did not look at all excited or peculiar. " He was perfectly cool; told me to keep cooi and not get excited. He knew what he was looking for." Witness was asked if the prisoner appeared to have lost any flesh since that time, and replied, •' I think he looks a little thinner than he did." At this point Guiteau, who appeared both in­ terested and amused at tho witness' replies, said: "Just here it might be well to say that I have had today the first square meal since the 2i of July." This sally raised a laugh, in which Gaiteau joined heartily. Counsel Scoville uoiilied the court and the prosecution that the defense in tbe ease would be insanity; . A New Fabric; A new fabric is now produced, in France, from the down of birds, which is either worked by itself, or in mixture with wool, silk, or cotton. According to the description, the goods thus manu­ factured, whether simply of down, or mixed with fibrous material, presents entirely novel features. It is found that the down will take any shade of dye, from the most delicate to the deepest color, and the cloth is very warm--more so than woolen--and may readily be made impervious to moisture. The pre­ ferable method, leems to be to mix the down -with wool. In this latter opera­ tion, in order to insure an intimate mix­ ture, oleic acid is used, in certain fixed proportions, during the stages of sort­ ing and carding; and it is carded, spun, woven, fulled and teasled down by ma­ chinery especially designed for the pur­ pose. Shearing and ^yefflj are effected m the usual way. W> FIND fault with .other's ways of doing things wo cannot do ourselves.-- Lampion. ..10 60 @16 96 .
