It has n ver btmu correctly ascertained why hormst waling was then, and ia stiB, regar kd as a wor,Je crime than the takug of huttiim life ; bat that thk is the ease in the Went is nndonbted.

The discussion as to whom the thief might be'wsaB warinj; warm, a hen a voice cried: Reckon some Mexican's had a hand in this game." This sutfgeititm was at once adopted, and Bill, the moer, said: - "Aye,lhci I eon show him, I saw him oo H hi ilalmveU i ia morning. Ii4 yoa notice any tracks ?" "I did," reptied Smith, eagerly.

Ttnd in a few minute? the self apointoil Jcdge, knookinr at the door, asked for the vordict. To the aitonishir nnt of het bystanders, the answer was. "Not guilty!" Aery of joy escaped the Mexican; n exiilnmiition of disappointment was ventetl by Ogdon Smith. But tho Judge drew hi revolver, iuul, beckoning to the ittnimittae, roplied Cit'nily : "Gontlemen, yon'U have to do hotter than that Try again, and this time attend to the evidence." He handled his pistol menacingly as bespoke, and the jury retired a?nin. They were not loag left undisturbed, for tunc was paxsing, th tenieat was increasing in severity, nd the committee had sorao distauce to ride thar: nicrht. In five minutes the Judsreniiu' called them, and this time the obedient twelve gave the verdict Guilty !'' " Quite correct," eaid the-Judge. " I approve. It's a verdict Carry out the sentence, yew," he added, to two of hia associates. "And now, gentlemen, I think we've done our duty. The bosses wait Hev ye anything to say ?" he inquired of the criminal. The poor man pleaded" earnestly for mercy, and protested his innocence wildly, but it was useless. The majority of the ptrty then left the hnt and the two men, placing their unhappy prisoner astride a mole, unbound him, except for a tarn of the rope on his left wrist, aud walked beside him to the place of execution. There his outer clothing

was taken from him, and hw lKiota those fatal witnesses laid aside. Ho was then fastened to a tree. The place of execution had been well chosen. It was a low point jutting out into the rive just below the rapids. The current was running swiftly, swollen by the melting snows and the tremendous 'rain, which was atill descending in torrents. From this point the river des.-endud rapidly. Higher up, bnt then obscured by the thickly falling rain and mist . w is a high ridge, which projected, across the river, and formed a sort of how-like inclosurt), in the center of which was (and is) a small wooded island. Below this eyot the river divides. It becomes narrower, and passing on the right side over a small, rocky breakwater, or natural barrier, it takes a tremendous leap sheer 100 feet over the rook, spreading out from the base many feet in its descent On the left side of the island the stream has worn away the rock to a grout extent, and on that side the water harries down a rapid at n steep angle, and at the bottom meets deep water, which drives in a swift current over the right shore, to a strip of beach or iowgrooncfc a watering station for animals. The men charged with the execution had well chosen the place. The prisoner stood with hands clasped as one of his guardians was making preparations, and the other stood ready to ore should tha prisoner attempt to escape. One was adniating the cord upon a neighboring tree, underneath which the mule had been already led, when an exclamation from him inale the other guardian turn Bis, head. The quick-eyed Mexican seized his opportunity. With s. swift Bweep of his right hand he severed with the ooncealeo. knife the rope at his wrist, and with a d jsperate backward spring he threw himself into the eddying, boil-

ingnver. The heavy splash was the flvst intimation that the other men had of the Mexican's escape ; and, with revolver ready, one waited till the swimmer sho&ld reappear. He rose, and struck out boldly for the opposite shore. The man raised the pistol, when his companion stayed his arm. ' Give him a ohanoe, Bob," he said. " You or me may want a good torn some day ; and beside, I don't b'lieve he lifted them animals. Soft Smith's an id jit." WeD, mebbe yer right" replied the other, as he returned his pistol. " Foot chap !" he added, Jwith a touch of feeling to which he had long been a stranger. " Poor chap ! the fall will save us ihs job, anyhow."' "Bo's goneT replied the other. ".Ha can't git over, eh?" "You botr exclaimed Itis companion. "He's right enough, I do declare ; hell git out now 1" Meantime the unfortunate fugitive was sbmggling vigorously to gain the center of the stream. He was swimming strongly, hand over baud, and ever; now and then he east a glance at the ridge of rocks that fringed the mpid leading to the fall of a sheer bundri-J

feet C-.)iild he clear this he might Ik saved. He was making good way, oul ever boil tg drawn nearer and nearer by the resistless current to hia destruction. The men bu shore watched his progress with foTerijh anxiety. Another y ard oi two and he would gain the rock; ledge which " ended the fall and where the less-dangerous rapida began. Woold ha last? The men clasped hands in their strong excitement nd by a simultaneous impulse cheered the swimmer on. The poor wretch heard it It gavo him courage, One minute more and he would: be dear ; with renewed energy he strove, and with a despairing effort clutched the rock. His legs swung foi a second into the milky mass of water above the cataract Could he liear the strain? A cheer from the shore, a mighty effort swung himself over, and with a long, sweeping stroke dashed down the rapids and disappeared, m m p. The men turned away, breathing more freely, and returned as hastily as possible ttfeamp to report The storm t-Sill continued; the nver had ran op the ereek, and it was nightfall ere, wet to the skin and chilled to the bones, thoy (rained the saloon. Here all was contusion; twenty tongues were speaking at once, and all eondemning "Soft" Smith. The "Judge " was present, and as the two men entered he said, " I'm kinder sorry we hanged that Mrixican. WVe dune him an injury, boys, I'm alearL" "Save trouble in the end, nwbbc, ' said aaotiior. Bat the Ju Ige shook his htwti "Wlisl's the matter?" inquired the Kte comers. "Why, Soft Smith's a fool. He's found bis beasts safe at home, where theytwento' themselves, having broke baiter. The tracks was the Mexican's tracks, bnt only to his own location.

Holibes had the same weakness, "ten or twelve pipes with a candle" being his invariable concomitants at the desk, and Dr. Phrr was not less dejieudeiit on tobacco. Southey could never write a line except at his desk, with his books round him and with familiar objects near by. Milton could, he said, n-ver compose anything to his satisfaetiou except between the vermd and autuiuial equinox. At those seasons his jtoetry came like an inspiration. At other tjiies, in spite of the most strennous efforts, he wonld be unable to bring to the fiirth a singlo verse. Thomson, Collins, and Gray had the same su-

An eminent modern novelist finds his pen nnd imagination powerless unless he sits surrounded hy lighted candles in v darkened room, and Horace Walixile tells ns that Lord Orrery fonnd no stimulus so efficacious as a sharp fit of the gout. The great Dutch scholar, Isaak Vosiduf , and our own poet, John Philipps, would employ a servant to comb their h&trwhilo they raeditnto their works.

Immodiately after the opening of court Counsel Scoville arouo to mio a personal explanation, in which he said there had been tio disagreement betweon himnolf and Itolrinson, as would appear fnm certain publications.

connsol wore forecd npun lum, ho wonld make a noiao about it to tha country. Ho represented (ha Deity in this ciiiio, and wished tho court to understand it Coatinning, he said two or thivo blunilerimse lairyera would lose the oaso for htm, and he did not nroposa to submit to anything of the kind. The court informed the prisoner if ho did not remain quiet ho would be removed from the roam. Tito prisoner conversed in a very excited manner with hia counsel and brother, at intervals ucing hia clenched fist upon the desk before lum in an exceedingly demonstrative manner. District Attorney Coi klull occupied about ton minutes in deliver ing bin opening speech outlining tho prosecution. He indicated that it

j was tho pnrpo-'oof the prosecution to kIiow that

tiuuesu Blew ms victim 10 gratuy a spirit ot revenco. During its delivery the prisoner nssnraed an air of apparent indifference, and devoted himself to the morning papers, scauuin,; them hurriedly. Tho argument was delivered by Col. Corkhill in a very efleotive tua niter, tears filling thn eyes or many in the audience, but the countenance of the priaoner remained unchanged. Toward the close of the argument he laid hia newspaper aside and leaned back iu his chair, covering hia ores with his hand, evidently endeavoring to conceal the emo ion which be undoubtedly felt Ho then drew a package of manuscript, from his pocket and commenced writing hi a hurried and nervous manner, The prisoner constantly shook his head in approval or disapproval of the statements made iu argument by CoL Corkhill At one time he interrupted the District Attorney, which action waa cared to the attention of the court by Jndge Putter, of counisel for the prosecution. Judge Cox announced that it was within the power of the court to try the case in the absence of the prisoner, and if he persisted, in his turbulent remarks ho would cause him to be removed. Guitcau, in response, said: " Iwill not do it again, your Hon or, but I havo very deep frolings iu tluV ca-o." Mrs. Scoville, sister of tiie prisoner, cried latterly during the delivery of the argument, and her Utile child could be seen appeahug in ;m affectionate manner with: "Momma, mamma, what is tho matter '(" At the conclusion of Col. CorkbiU's argument them was long and continued applause. Secretary Blaine was then called to the stand by counsel for tho Government, and testified that he knew James A. Garni Id from 1863 to the time ot his death. Ho said, on reaobing the depot the morning of tho nsMtssinatiou, the Prcsidont turned to ay good-ly, but ho insisted upon accompanying him to the car. He heard a pistol t-hol. followed al-

mtet immediately by another, and, thinking there was some trouble, touched the Pronident for the pnrposo of hurrying him onward. At this moment the President threw up hia amis, exclaiming: "SIvGod; what is Una if" The Secretary. coitlinuhVf dotailed tho circumi.taucos of th'e removal of the President to the White House and other mut

ters pertaining to tho shooting, all of which have been published heretofore. Iu rciiit to Col. Coi Lhill, the Secretary ttwtified thj.t Oiutean visited the department many times, sce'kiog appointment to the Consul Generalship at Paris. He informed Gnitean there were no prospects ot his receiving the appointment, aud requested him to discontinue his visits. A manlier or lettois from the tiles of tho 8-ate Department were identified by Secretary DUiine as having been received from tho prisoner, after which thoy wore read by tho District Attorney. Se- rttary Blaine was cross-uxamincd, and testified as to the locality of the shooting. He said he had received numerous letters from the priaoner, persistently urging to bo assigned to (.peak in the Maine campaign. Ho at no time noticed anything which would indicate any derangement of Guiicau's mind. Scoville, iu questioning Blaine, referred to tho dintctdiy which arose in the Republican party iu New York after the appointment of Collector Koliertton, and requested that the Secretary explain tho situation as it existed. Secretary Biaino ant.wored a number of questions on tlto subject of tho resignations of deut.tors Gunk ling and Piatt and tbo controversy in the New York Legislature, and, upon being fii'iher questioned, euggostod that ho would make a political speech for the del'euco if it was desired. Seville explained his reason fur putting tho questions, saying he desired to show the reeling of bitterness in political circles, with a view to proving the bearing it had upon the prisoner's uuud. In reply to further questions, the Secretary stilted that after the assassination of tho Provident he paid little or no attention to the conflict in the New York Legislature, aud in fsct thought nothing of politics. He aald he invented the term -'stalwart " himselr in 1875. Tlie prisoner at unco began to exiostulate with ticoville, stating that ho desired him to comply with his (Gutteau's) wiaues in the case, and if ho did not do so there would bo a big row. He t.'as removed l-y bailiifs with difficulty. He desired to contiuua the conversation. Scoville paid no attention to hia client. The Venezuelan Minister, Mrs. Sarah B. White, tho jauilress of tho railroad depot, and It A. Parke, the ticket agent, were called as witnesses hi the order named, and gave the facts of the assassination, already so wall known, after which the eouxt adjourned. FTTTH D Upon the opening of the court Soovtlle requested tho court to take some measures to pro. vent the prisoner from giving to the public his unauthorized communications, and also to prevent the annoying iiitemipturaH of the prisoner in the court room. Tnia bronc hi on a scene, during which Guiteau demanded that Sroviile Hhonld go out of the case, insisting that he was no criminal lawyer and had no nenso; that bo talked one thiug to him iu private and another in public. Scoville endeavored to explain to tlto court, but Guiteau became more and moro excited, and addre sed himself alternately to tho court, to Scoville and tlto Iwiliffa, who were endeavoring to keep lum quiet, , To the coin "I represent myself, your Honor, and I shall do as 1 please abont couasel." Then, turning to Scoville t " You have no capacity, sj-d I wou't havs you manage my C11H0." Then, turning to the bailiffs, ho shouted: " You mind your bUsineiis, yoa confounded fools. Yun ain't got no sense.' The court again stated to the prisoner, in decided tones, I bat he would order bm removal and proceed in tits absonce,,. To this Guiteau nhonlcd, excitedly: "I don't care if yon da The court in banc will revorst yon, and t will get a trial. You have no rifht to remove mo." The court replied, in terms whtoh seemed to convince Guiteau of their sinccity: "Very wt II, I shall do so-if you persist iu say tiioiediutiubauce; and there are precedents in this court for such rulings." A whispered consultation, between Guiteau a nd Scoville loilowod, and the former, apparently convinced, subsided into absolute quiet and devoted himself to hia papers. I'M A.

Andrews, a newspaper correajiondcnt, and J. Stanley Brown, prtvato secretary to" Gou. Garfield, wero called as witnesses, and detailed various oircuinsthnoes oounected with the case of tho prosecution. Guiteau, sbortly before the adjournment for tho day, jumped up iu hit seat and, itddrcesiog the court, said i ' Your nonor. Judge Magrudcr, of Maryland, has offered to asiint mo in this trial, anil I want to invito him to meet nw here Monday morning. I don't know if Scoville knows about it but I want him in the case. -oeville ia doing spleniidly, but X wiu.t him Ic have assistance. The only way I can got anything befors the public is to announce it iu court" No objection was offered, aud Guiteau, apparently satisfied, bnsied lumsolf with writiug, occasionally turning to Scoville to assure hun that Judge Magruder was a splendid man and he wanted him in the nana.

' Ho waa perfectly coo! ; told mo to keep cool and not get excited. He know what ho waa looking for." Witness was asked if tho prisoner appeared to have lost any flesh since thst time, aud replied, " I think he looks a little thinner than he did." At thh point Guiteau, who appeared both interested aud amused at the witness' replies, said : " Just hero it might be well to say that I have had to-day the first square meal mnco the 3d of July." This sally raised a laugh, in which Guiteau joined heartily. Counsel Kcovillo notified the court and tho prosecution that the defease in tho case would be inanity. SIXTH DAT. Georgo C. Mnjuard, au electrician, and tor many years s resident of Washington, waa the .first witness called on tho sixth day of the trial. He was questioned by the prosecution, aud testified to loaning the prisoner money last spring. Guiteau rose to an objection to this kind Of evidence. Mr. Scoville, said the objection was iu good faith, ana Ouitoau said: "I don't think it makes tiny dtiloreuce who owes uw or whom I owe. Mr. Hajroud Is a good fellow, and I owe bim 135." The witness tentiliel further thst ho had boarded at the same house with G liteau during his ichool days at Ann Arbor. Mich. He did not see bim from that time, until ho cams to bonow the $10. "Did you notice anything strai ge in his appearance at, that time " asked Mr. Scoville. " Nothing, except that be looked hungry."

"I was boarding i t a first-el iss house at j

Mr. O'ileara, a Wasliington fiatol-dealer, was called, told tue story of the purchase of tho pistol by tho assassin and identified tho weapon. At this point. Guiteau arose and addressed the court calmly, as follows : " While this is being done I want to givo publio invitation to John. D, Townxond, of New York, to arsist me

in this trial ; also Leonard Swettatid Mr. Trade, :

The sensation of the trial was produced when the District Attorney suddeuly drew from a pasteboorcl 1kx upon his table a section of a human blackbone, and, holding it up, inquired: " Do you recognize this, doctor? " The audience hung breathlcat. npon tho answer as the witness, iu measured tones, replied : . " I do. It Is a portion of the vert br.o of the Into President, James A. Gni Held." The vortetnai was then handed the jury, and tbe character and exttnl of the mjuiy to them explained. "Di. Bliss wat followed with thu closest atteutiuu on the part of tho entire audteuce, with the sole exception of Guiteau, who devoted hiuiaelf to his papers, ouly occatonally u laucicg up with the air of a man ncing bored with a recital iu which he could have no poseiblo intereat.

not tno sngbtest muicaticn ot any leeung otuer than chsU'j) cmiosity. Upon the conclusion of Dr. Bliss' examination Guiteau here attempted to say something, when tho District Attorney, bo-ring with tuoel; gravity, ocminned: "If Mr. Guiteau will pelnut mo, your Honor, I will more an adjournment." Guiteau appeared to lolish the pleasantry, aud, nodding, replied : '' Oh, certainly. You shall have fuU cbani-e," Tho court adjourned. seVBKTII DAT. Tho crowd about the Court He use was greater thau on any previous day. Tho assassin, livid with fear, was escorted from tho jail to tha court-room by a sqimd of dvo roUcemen, Immediately upon tho opeuing of wurt, Mr. IIoIh itiKon arose to criticise the treatment ho had received from Mr. Scoville, and announced his uithdr-wai. fjom the oase. Guiteau, with const lerei.le warmth, said : - That's an nMo sitcech, and I agree with most of it If lio bad only made it last Monday there tun r would hvo been .my disturbit ce t-elttOcii us." Mcmille hern triad to quiot Guiteau, idirn he 'tinted up iu him : " Jioop ipiiot yourself. ;'ii ta!kiM now. I sytupathiio with bun iu thiii matter."

Scovtllv itiadu a brief statcinont, deploriug j itic dicarrreuuitt after wh'oh Judge Oox relieveil iiohiuson from further ixumcction with ! lie dc frmtu I Scoville began to address tho court with : j ' Wo do not expect to bo compelled io conduct i thn case entirely without assistance."

Alter a brief pauso Guiteau added: " That's all there is to the malpractice l.iisiuesH. short and to the point I want it muled tmul t appear as my own counsel here. 1 am agent of the Deity, and I oxpoot Him to lake one tr' mo. 1 think He has managed U pretly well so lar." Al ter the ox-i mutation of Dr:i. Woodward and l.auih and tlie exhibition of th fatal bullet, thn prnsei ution rested its case, Tae assassin wan given perianisiou to speak in ids own defense,

Guiteau, retatniog his seat began : "Your Honor, I was uo': aware I was expected to speak this niorning." Hcoville hero leaned over (aid wln.-pi-rod to bim, wiicn Guiteau retorltd. sharply, and wita impalionce : "I won't stand up.

Of course, I sha 1 no on the stand at th-' t'ior lime, and be examined and cross -examined. My idus, however, is to moot a misstatement when it is hot, instead of waiting to let the matter get digeded nnd misunderstood. C tliiiilc tho true way is to interject my staUuieits aa the en so proceeds. I havo no Mil np ek to make, but ant much obliged to your Honor and to my counsel for the courtesy of this invitation." Mr, Scoviile then proceeded to address tho court. Ho said tho question for tho jury wis whether or not tho prisoner killed iho President, and whether or not, the accused was in such a condition mentally as to render him responsible tor his action. Ha had hot fiiiidicd ins remarks when the .timo for adjournment was reached. EIGHTH DAT. Titero was the ustol crowd present when Giihcati was brought into the aourt-rooni. He had " a ride of honor" from the jail, a mounted escort being in attendsnce. Ho seamed ia remarkably good humor, which is explained by the lact that bo had just received a very nice letter, inclosing a money order for $2U, from an Hlinois lawyer. Mr. Scoville eotieltuh d the opening speech for the deroiiso. He recounted the history of tbo assassin and !:i inniily. uitii the idea of establishing Guitean's insanity. The assassin made tlie tvatitl number of interiuptions, and created tbo usual Dumber of scenes, Scoville, referring iu his address to thn prisoner, said that bo was unsuccessful as a iawier, end collecting bad debts was his priucipal business. Whenever he tact aiiotti-n- lanycr in court ho failed. Guiteau interrupted him, saying: "I have had a good ninny cases m conrt and never was called a fool. When lawyer I generally gave them a good as Igot" Scoville continued : "Gnitoau was persistent as a debt collector, and bad a good business" Guiteau interrupted : ' Ho bad also good habits, and bis personal appearance, which

) brought the business. '

-- vt eu, sata air. rscovuie, --ne never nau nail habits. He never smoked, drank or chewed. Once he tried a case with Charles Beed, of Chicago, in which Reed got tho impression ho was a little off." 'That's false,'" said Guiteau. " I dou't want to interfcro with your theory, but I never tried a case with Read in my life. The rest of your story is good ami truo ; and, in regard to my peculiarities you seem to understand tin in. But I want you to know I never was quite a fool when a lawyer, and don't you forget it."

t-covme saiu the pr -toner was racking iu business ability, aud ran behind iu money matt is. Guiteau interrupted by saying : " I had brains enough, but I had theology ou my mind then ; that's tho reason I did tint adhere to law. There s uo money iu theology, aud I ran behind on that aud haven't tot over it yet I'm out of tlie business now, thou; ti." Scoville stated that, when in Wisconsin, Gnilean, overcotn.i by heat, acted' strangely and threateuod hll i:er milt au ax. Giiite.iu said this was a lie. Kcovillo continued that friends and family phrgicians considered him insane. Physicians said ho could bo into au asylum, but tho family objected so long as ho a as net dangerous. Guiteau acted as usher at Moody and Sankey meetings, and finally lectured oil the second advent of Christ He nuslo no menev. Guiteau" They wi-re now ideas that people were not odncated up to." Scoville couttuued to describe Guitean's indifference to monetary responsibilities, aud Guiteau iutorrnptcd with the statement that ho liead-lioaded from Detroit to Washington as atent of tho Lord, ami on las pvrsoasl appearance. He was never put off a train but twice' He jumped oiace, and was nearly killed. Scoville's speech was a very ingenious plea, aud seemed to make a. favovablo impression ol the jury.

Village Life in Western India. In this now work on the "Industrial Arts of India," Mr. C. IX. Bird wood says of the typical village : " Outside tlie entrance of the single village street, on an exposed rise of ground,' the hereditary potter sits by his wheel, molding the sv.ift-revolving clay by tho natural curves of his hands. At the baok of the houses, which form the low, irregular titreet, there are two or three looms at work in blue and scarlet and gold, the frames hangicg bo tween the acacia trees, the yellow flowers of which drop fast on the webs us they are being woven. In the street tho brass and copper smiths are hammering away at their pots uad pans, and further down, in the veranda of the rich man's house, is the jeweler workiug rupees and gold taohib into fair jewelry, gold . and silver earrings, aud round tires like the moon, bracelets and tablets and noserings, and tinkling ornaments for tlie feet taking his designs from the fruits and flowers around him, or from the traditional forms represented in the paintiiigs and carvings of the great temple, which rose over the grove of mangoes aud palms at the end of tbe street, above the lotus-covered village tank. At 3:30'nr 4:30 iu the afternoon the whole street is lighted up by the moving robes ot the women going down to draw water from tho tauk, each with two or three water jars on her head, and so, while they were goiug aud returning in single file, the scene glows like Titian's canvas, and moves like the stately procession f the Panatheuaie frieze. 'Later the men drive in the mild gray kiue from the moaning plain, the looms are folded np, the coppersmiths are silent, the elders gather in the gate, the lights begin to glimmer iu the fatt-falling darkness, the feasting and ultimo are heard on every side, and ttite into tho night the songs oro sung from the Kaiaaynna or Mahabharata. The nest morning, with sunrise, after the t.imple ablutions and adorations performed in tho open air lietore the houses, tbe same day begins again. This is the daily life going on nil over Western India in the village communities of the Dakhan, among a people hnppy in their simple maimers and frugal way of life, and iu tho culture derived from" the grand epics of a religion in which they live and move and have their daily being, and in which tho highest expression of their literature,
