GlAIT'S CflSTLL Tbe 'western sua was resting for tingle moment upon the shoulders of the gray and hoarv mountains, casting a last bright gfcuico behind him, ero he auk to rest beyond the fir-atray Pacifio ; the purple shadows of the ridges creeping slowly downward over bluff and preobjrioe waved a silent greeting to their grayer sisters, as, slowly uprising from the canyons and tho gorg-s, the distant cry of a lonely bird floated softly downward through the listening air, and as it passed a rmgh-gr stillness fell over til, while alon;; the eastern horizon blank sight began to frown. Two Boiitury travelers nor yet trarelerm, tor both were frontiersmen and mi&erB who were slowly climbing the nigged face of the ridgo paused as they reached its verge, and without speaking looked sharply about them for several moments, examining all the ground carefully, then one uttered a low growl of Bainfactioo, and, iuring through the gloaming toward tlie south, he turned to hi waiting cam pan ton and said : "Here's the trail, Tom, an' the reds H pass the Gint'i Castle over there afore moon-up to-night, if they're after vs. This yere war the way Hack Jim -went, an' he war a-p'intin' for the Apache country fast enough, Ef the bloody cat thro&t cm git tne Injuns to nelp him they'll go for our ranche sure ; but ef they don't come we're safe, for to-morrow we'll light over the range for good.

Ef the reds come, they won't find na at home, aa ef they don't come ao great harm's done, aa ef they smell us out on the castle we could kill the entire party afore they could got at us." The speaker paused and drew a long breath, fairly astonished and wrftried at bis own minimal loquacity, and his compeuuon, changing bis Winchester from one shoulder to the other, replied : "Te're right, Dick I It war a pity that I missed the out aw, bat it war only a snap shot. I won't do so ag'in. Xarjohutfor Mie night is a good one. With rapid and almost silent steps the two passed over the ridgo into the UUcltneas of the gslch lxyouT.

when, protected by tho daylight, they might gather their few ofiocts and escape over the range. They had chosen Giant's Castle a massive pile of ragged rock some 200 feet in height, with but two points where it could po-eiblv be sealed, for their refuge on account of its inaccessibility, uid as well for the guard -which they might maintain therefrom upon all the Indian country and the trail into Hidden Valley. A brisk walk of twenty minutes brought the miners to th foot of the castle ; a stmarple of ten minutes placed them at its summit. Night hud n iw fairly i tllen, and the stafa were beginning to suine. The howl of a distant covoto -x-illing to liis faitlrless mate was the onl sound that broke upon th3 quiet air. The men seatod themselves. "Tom," said Moore, in a half whisper, tr-are's just two plaa s vhere the reds conUl get np ef they should try, and ono man amed as we are " he patted hia Winchester and touched his knife "kin keep an army down. Yon stay here a hind this yer rock, and. I'll take kcer o' the other place over yonder. We'd better not sleep anyhow, not till after moonnp. Should any thin i happen, jes' croak twice, an' I'll be with ye ; the same for me Wittoh out, now " Agreed Tfttid Tom. And his companion crept away in the shadows to hide himself, jlose to where the other pathway reach' d the top of the castle. This jnnt faced tho eass, while the one gnnrded b- Nuttiug was approachable only f nm t le west. Black night had now drawn its sable curtains, and but for the rents through which peeped the winking, stars entire darkness shroudtHl the scrne. Tut to the watchers tins made little difference. Educated by frontier life, and trained in Indian warfare, their cars were eyes to theni whev the light was gone, and the slightest sound was as easily understood in the tibsolnte quietnrss of the night as thouf h they plainly saw the thing which caused it. And fvj, motionless, each in bis place, they kept their solitary guard. Far away lonely wind sighed among the tall pines upon the ridge ; but its breath swept not about the Giant's Castle, and the ever-repeated cry of the wandering coyote, now rear and again far, was for a Ion 5 time tha only animate sound that broke the hushed silence. The moments passed, slowly it is .-rue, and yet one by one until hours had fled, and away to the eass there came a brightening glow, as of a growing fire, and beyond the ragged mountain tops the niatit blush, "faint and silvery;' then Dick knew the moon was rising. 'This We a hard bell" muttered that worthy, as he cautiously arose from his half-reclining position and stretched himself. " It's nigh about midnight, I reckon, an' I doubt the reds conun' after this. 1 wonder liow Tom Btands it ? " Leaning his rifle aeainst a iasrsred bold.

At this point there -was an almost perpendicular descent of some twenty feet to a ledge or shelf of rock upon the face of the cliff, which shelf was part of the very pathway try which they had ascended and night be easily reached by a winding trail. As he peered into the darkness beneath him the coyote's howl again rang mourn fully out from below, and was answered from a ridge half a mile away. "That's queer 1" The first cry" -war human, or I'm no jedgr, but the other war a genuine kiotei What kind o' trickery is this? Ah, thar'aTom !" ho continued, joyfully "aslaep below thar.

Ones or twice the distant, genuine whine reached his listening ears, bat there came no response from below. The queen of night climbed slowly np the eastern sky, flecking- the plain with moonlight and shade, The soft breezes that always travel in Iwr train swept gently by, laden with f .-esh and piney odors. Tom's figure, oatstreihed in deep slumber upon the rock shelf beneath, came more boldly into view, but the suspicious wolf bark did not sound again. A fnll ha'f hour passed and there had been no repetition of it "Thar's souethin' wrong," muttered Sick, with btited brea-h "sometlun wrong. The more I thbik o' that call

the more buto I am thet it war out o a

Close beneath him, at the very edge of the shelf where lay his friend, appeared a wolf, hia nose in air, his ours

it was an inasan !

Horror stricken, poor Moore could nut ec. ve ; he was helpless. The savasp was almost within arm's reach of his still sleeping companion ; an instant more and the fatal blow would be struck with the long knife that glittered in one hand, whilo lie (Moore) was unable to prevent, for ho had but his knife by him, and a single move to regain hi- rifle wonld but discover all and hasten the horrible tragedy. Knowing the bloody deed that was about to take pl&oe before hia very eyes, while lie stood helpless, I he hunter fairly sickened. It was terrible I Sudd inly, however, a glerm a desperate gleam lit his btonzed features, he leaned a bttle forward, and gazed sharply down. The murderer was at Hutting's side; alrecdy he had drawn his arm back fsr the fata! blow. Moore waited no longer. Grouching a single brt ath's space, he uttered a wild yell, and sprang outward

mid downward, shooting through tho air '.vith fearful momentum, and falling with a mighty ei-ash directly upon the redhktu, crashing him senseless bo the oiirth. Instantly Nutting was upon his fiet, wide awnke, and an Dick, braised and half Bluimod, staggered backward, clutching his knife, Tom thrust him away, and spang to the side of their prostrate enemy, his own weapon upraised. JKut'the man noror moved; tmd as Nutting rolled hint heavily over the gloani of liis vit blndis, turned fiom its deadly pnrpnse, flashed from where it was half buried ill liis side as li had fallen, and his were the only blood, drops that trickled down the heavy hilt. He was dead I And as the miners drow the wolf-skin mask from his fnce, there peered out at them, not the copper-'imed visage of an Indian, but the set and staring eyes and trie pale and hideous face of the most daring desperado of the mountains the face of Black .nni !

proper manner nor at the right time. uid if a woman cannot bring about this liaDnv combination of lime and manner

of swoon she had bettor get along with

out swooning. One Sabbath evening at Bradford, Pa,, the best behaved and most moral town in the oil country, a city not given to fainting or other unseemly displays during religious services, the Methodist Episcopal Oonferemse was in session and its ministers were conducting evening service. Just afttT the ordination of deacons a woman in the gallery fainted. Now, while the ordination of deacons is a most holy, solemn and deeply impressive ceremony, it is not very thrilling and exciting, like the initiation scenes in the Sons of Malta, and it is nothing to faint over. But this woman fainted, and a beautiful faint she tnad? of it It seems that she wis sitting in the front seat in the gallery, and did straight forward on to the floor, thrusting her unconscious 1 feet right through the gallery rail. Thoy must have been a startling pair of feet to view, for the moment they were observed by the congregation, the paniostricken worshippers raised the cry that the gallery was giving way, evidently mistaking the swaying feet for displaced columns or bracket braces. In the most worldly manner tho congregation made c rush for the doors, and in the panio the s,iints trod the sinners ULder foot, and the sinners walked along on the backs of the' saints, according to the respective size of saint ond sinner, all lxing animated by the desire to got out from under tho threatening shadow of those overhanging feet In the midst of the confusion and terror, one of those unconfiued lunat:cs whose mission is to say and do the most idbtio things under the guise of sanity, uprting through a window nud shouted fire, and unfortunately escaped alive. That brought the lire department and a miscellaneous crowd of a few thousand men and boys swarming around the church, and although Chaplin MoCabfl began singing it hymn' at the top of hia rather penetrating voice the panio could not be ttayed and the-people got out, but thera wasn't full bonnet in the congregation fit to look at. And how badly this woman must have felt when she realized how great a ruin she had wrought by fainting iu that ridiculous manner, sticking tnrough the ?nllery rail like a sawbuok hanging on a picket fence. And how the women with mined huti will glare at Iter, especially shose women who can't afford to buy new ones.

The under side of the pillow does not need any trimming ; the npper angle may be ornamented in any way to suit your fancy.

Guiteau, of Boston, and uiako it nayuble to my order. C G. When tho letter was produocd in court, tbe pruoiHT denounced his brother aa a nuisance and Kcovillo aa a jackass. Dr. Callendor, who occupied tho witness f tand, was then asked by Bcovillo : Will you give your opinion whether such a letter as that, written to a man ho didn't know, dous not indicate mwounducss of mind?" Anaweir " I don't think it indicates unsoundness of mind. It seems to mo sonaistent with hia cuaraotur and habit through lite of soliciting money from sources where he had no reason co expect it." Dr. Walter Konvrmtor, Superintendent of tho WixcoiiBin Stato llonpitjil lor the Insane, had devoted his attention to tho study of insanity

for the past fifteen years. Witness was familiar with tho process of taking the conformity of j the head, and did not believe much importance, ! as a rule, tould bo attached to the shapo of tho I head in determining tho question of sanity or insanity. Witness exhibited nliw shotting the ! Bhano, as taken by the 'coulormiter,-' ol the heads of a number of gouUemcn. Witness rolateu invidents within his knowledge of persons who had committed crimes whilo noting uuder tho influence of insane tloliuuous, nud defined what he considered insane : deluaions to be. Witness was then asked if he had ever seen a case where a person committed crinio and olanned divine inspiration, and if eo, how such persons deported themselres before and after the act. He replied that in such eases the deiroion or inspiration as they claim it to bo) couioa to tho person suddenly and with intense pressure, and that such poisons act quicklv and upon sudden impulse, deiiying neither to consider opportunity or weapons ; that it would be

impossiblo to conceive, without actually witnessing it. the energy and impetuosity sod determination with which pet-eons acting under an insane delusion carry out their purposes ; that it would be equally innjoeaible to describe it with language.

- Onitean "Yon don't agree with Abraham,

uocior. tie ioos plenty oi tune to mane run arrangements." Witnest stated that he did not believe in a dutinct type of insanity which could be called moral insanity. It was simply a convenient term which had been invented to excuse tho commianiou of heinous crimes. Witness had never seen a case where an insane man, after committing a crime, paraded his insanity and urged it as an excuse for his crime, insane murderers do not boast of their act, but, on the contrary, very rarely allude to them unless a good deal of ingenuity is tided to draw them out. Witness, until he entered this court-room, had never heard of a case of alleged inspiration that came from within. Always such persons claim to have heard the voice of tiori or seen His image or something of Hint tort Buob. inspiration ic never a conviction arrived at ait mature redectien on the part of the person so affected. Witness was asked if the belief of prisoner's father, L. W. Guiteau, that disease could be cured by praver, should be taken as au evidence of insanity. He replied : " By no means. We all 'know that thousands and thousands of sane people prayed daily for the salvation of Pieeident Garfield's life. Titer would hardly have done so if they had not entertained tome b- irnHbr -ffieaey of prayer." Witness bad visited the jail and examined the prisoner with a new of determining ht mcutal ci million. Tho witness detailed in xotue length tonveisr lions he had wnji tin 1 rsoner, with occat-ionai contradictious by Guiteau. Tne witness bad esked the prwonor if lit-tin-tight lie as iiiFtiu", and his r.-ply vra i " Not what vmi cxiKi-ts cull iusauo ; but leguhv tnsaue." Whin asked what he meant bv thai trim, the prisoner hid suii tint if he "ceud git a jury to Mfe-ve l-e was acting under kit in iiation from the Lord when no ehot the 1 resident, that would bo aU ho wanUd, and would kcquit him, tinitnati had btcn rugnped with h's wail for fome minutes, and hro called out : "I wonld like to have jrn know, Indus and gentlemen, I hut my letters now como addies-ed, "The Hon, Charles Ouitcan,' qutto a chango I rem last summer." The witness was cross-examined by Ifc-cd, who produced a pamphlet, a report prepared by the witness as Superintendent of the Wisconsin Insane Asylum, and ri nd extracts front it During the" reading a dispnto arose between counsel, who seemed to have gradually developed a vast amount of bitterness. Guiteau shouted from the doca : "1 uaiit it understood that Judge Porter is making all this fuss and iutermptirn simply to direr! the niiude of the jury from tho point which ba sees that Iteod has made against him. It simply shows a contemptible meanness thst only men fellows as he and Corkhill can indulge in." Tbe cross-examination was continued by Scoville with occasional outbursts on the part of the prisoner until adjournment. "He came here," said Guttean, "is an expert for tho defense. Thats wht be said when he was in my cell. But good living at Wizard's and Corkhill's money have been too much for him." Judge Cox, in rendering a decision on the application of Ool. Corkhill to place Guiteau in the prisoners' dock, explained why lie had given the assassin suoh latitude 'heretofore. Ho did not wish even to appear to deprivo the prisoner or any of his constitutional guarantees. He wished also to givo the jury and the exports an opiiortimtty of judging for ihcimselves whether Guitoau was insane oi not and for that reason gave the prisoner more latitude than he would otherwise allow. He decided that tbe prisoner should be placed in the dock, because he was manifestly abusing the privileges granted to him. THIRTY-KFTH DAT. As the assassin was led into court by the bailiffs, ho passed a moment at tho l&blo wbcro bis counsel sat and whispered to Bcovillo : "If yon will only keep quiet to-day I will laugh this case ont of court. As soon as bo reached the dock ho shouted nut; "Borne leading papers in America consider ma the greatest fellow they have met in some tune.

Upon the witness leavrng tho stsnd Corkhill uniiiiiiiced that ho had but ono mors witness 0 introduce on the part of the Government, itoovillo replied : "We have some witnesses whoso names have beou presented since we .'lusod onr caso, and I shall ask the court to ixirtnit us to have them sworn, and our ronson trill bit tixm tho ground of newly-discovered widened material to the case." Davidge" Could you give us an idea hot? much timo you will want upon surrebtutal ?" Hcoville--" Several days ; probably alt of utxt week," Davidgo " Wo must object, your Honor, to 1 roopenins of this Oitse." ScovUlo insisted that he did not desiro to dolay tho trial or consume- tho timo of the court, hut the prosecution had consumed weeks with thoso export witnesses, meeting with tht-ui nightly aud conferring with them in propaialion of this case, and ho did not propoe to be out short in the matter of time.

Ho bad never seen i single instano? where tho nitty indication of insanity was ait exhibition of ituuiorality qr wickedness. Ho did not believo in what bad been called "moral insanity." It was impossible toutssett-r menial unity so as to locate the impairment of moral nature that was not accompanied by intellectual deleriorau.in. Insanity in itself had no more tendency iu excite to crimo thau neuralgia or any other liseasp. It puts nothing new into a man's usuire: it only perverts what is already tlicro. Dr. Gray stated that ho had niado a thorough, complete and satisfactory examination of the prisoner at tho jail, and gave at some length thedetailsof his examination andcouverMitiot it tli the prisoner. Witness a-kedther lisoner the question : " rilipoe the President Had

offered the 1'aiiJ Consulship during tho time you were reflecting upon tho subject of removing him, wonld you still have shut him V" and he replied : '"Well, that would have settle J the under. I should have taken tho position." Guiteau calh-d out from the dock: " 1 said if bo had offerca it to mo at any time before the 1st nf June. If lie Imd offered it after the 1st of June it would not have nf.ide the slightest difference. Vittiess asked prisoner how ho came to shcot tho President, and his reply was : "Icaiuilo

the conclusion the political situation justified it. I gradually In came eounueed of tii.s, and I resolved upon bis removal." Guiteau shouted again : " That knocks your P.irw Consulship, and ohowa there was no malice in it -not an element of murder iu it, but political iK-oessily." Witiies- then inquired of tho prisoner in regard to his alleged inspiration, aud asked liioi if it canto to bun in tho f crni of a voice, or vision, or direct command, and hi reply was : " No, it came into my head, a conception, and I rottec'ed tipnti It uutll I resolved that it was justified bv tho situation." Witnes then akod the pii-wier how this vU'.cmcnt accorded with his theory or inspiration, and hu reply was : "Tho inspiration was in Ihefoim of pressure constantly upoume to coulii it the act." Giuli au -"That's all there is to tho case, short aud to tho poiut V'ou can talk about it six years if you ant to." TBIBTV SIXTH DAT. .-i the opening of court Guiteau called out: ' One of my guards here, Cunningham, has got an eloven-pouud baby for a New Year's present" (Laughter, in which the jury heartily joiiiod. 1 Dr. Gray resumed the story of his conversation with the prisoner in jait Guiteau continnally interjected comments, and with Scoville's frequent objections witness soon became sensibly disturbed, and, when aeked to go on, said : "There have betn so manv interruptions I don't know where I am." Guiteau quickly retorted: "I shou'dn't think you did, nor any ono else. I have been tryiug ail the morning to find out where you are. The fact is, you aro badly lost this morning, doctor. We will have to send a small boy to dud you.' Witness did not find a Bingle circumstance, as narrated by the prisoner, that would indicate to his (witness ) mind insanity. He was of onuon, judging by his examination of the prisoner in the jail, and from his observation of him iu court, that he is sane at this tiuiit. Cuikhill then read tho lengthy hypothetical question of the prosecution. Guiteau suggested that there was no necessity to repeat that bosh, as everybody had heard it a dozen times. Tho suggestion was unheeded, and the prisoner added: "Twothirds of that is false, and it maes me mad every timo I hear it read," As the reading proceeded he continually called out: "That is false!" "All false!" " He tr do you know V " " That's Smith's lie!" and similar expressions. Witness replied: "I believe him to have been sane on July 2." Gu teau shouted : " Tho whole substratum of that thing is false. How can tho doctor give a truthful answer? " Witness then gato at great length fnll details of what he had observed in the conduct and sayings of tho prisoner in the court tiiat led him (witness) to believe in his sanity, lioferring to tho prisoner's claim that the Deity inspired the act, he was interrupted bv Guiteau, who called out : " Yes, and He'll take care of it, too. D.-. Gray. I'll stake my lifo on it" Witness was asked: "Di you think the prisoner has boon fe-gning in court ?" And replied : " Yes, I do. He claims an inspiration from the Deity. I don't believe that lio relieves any such lliiug. and in such a sense he is feigning and acting a part" Guiteau "No such thiim. I never feign. You are paid for your opnion; the jury is mt" Bcovillo hegau cross-examination. Witness was asked it he had testified as expert in cises of persons on trial for capital crimes, but before be could reply Guiteau supplemented the question by calling out: "How many men have you nelpcd to hang ? " Witness was not aware of a case wheio he had pro'iounced a sane man insane, cr where be had adjudged an iusane man sane. He admitted, however, that his views upon some typos of iusauity had changed since ho began to study tho subject Guiteau" You live to learn, then, like other people. If you live twenty years longer you may know something about, insanity. You may r.-ach tho Abrtiliamio type by that time. You are a growing man, doctor." Witness stated that be abandoned the theory of " moral insanity " as far back as 185. He did not think it would be found in his reports subsequent to that date as a distinct classification. Alter some further questions on this subject, Guiteau broke out impatiently : "Tne amount of it is, these exports will swear to anything for money. They will swear to things to-day they would not have thought of sweariug to twentyfive years ago, or would swear to twenty-live yeirs hence. This subject of insanity is i progressive one." Witness was asked how he came to visit Washington to testify in this case, and roplied : " I did not caro to come, but the President of our boprd said ho thought it my duty to nme." 8 -ovi'lo "Then you came ou hi in a eprctalion of your duty?" Witness (indignantly) " No, sirs X came on a telegram." Guiteau added: "now about Corhhill's money 1 I guess that was the .influence that b ought yon here. This fellow Corkhill has got a Imngbole in the treasury that will rt notit $100,900 li'fore he gots through with this case. It's n bout tmo Prosidi nt Arthur was atte iding to Iih case. I wouldn't lot him stav l:ero a week if I were President. However, I'll attend to Corkhill in Fcovillo endeavored to force an acknowledgment, from witness that tho conversatio j and conduct of the patient were tho chief means of determining sanitv or ina-intty. Witness insisted it was only ail lncidont, and nr. an essential element in tho determin ttiou. Pcoville-" Why, you don't have any other - mum when they aro a ivo, do you ? Yon cau.'t ..- at the I'-tin to examine it, can vou ?" luttoau " The oxperts on this caso want to kill the man and thou cxamiuo his brain after

He was arked if ho bad ever seen any case of feigned instnity that resembled that of tha prisoner (assuming that he is feigning) and roplied : " 1 have not scon any such in sanity, real or fgned." The honr or adjournment having arrived, Guiteau, who hail boon listlessly following the nroneedngs. called out: "To-morrow will be New Year's, I8S2, I shall receive to-moriow in jail, and shall bo happy to see all who can suoeceil in Getting in. I wish every ono a happy New Year. Come, Bconllo, it's 3 o'clock, let's go hnm-." Tho court adjourned till Tuesday. rillBTr-HBVEKTU DAV. Guitoau opened court by announcing that ho had ninny Now-Vcnr callers, uono of whom wanted him hanged, ntd all of whom bclioved ho would be acquitted. Dr. Gray took tho stand, and Scovilo resumed tliccross-cxaiiriiatloH. Witness bad not, in giving his opinion on the direct examination that the prisoner rim sane, taken into account the evidence of the prisoner h.niself, but taking that element into consideration his opinion would still bo the same that tbe prise m-r is aue, and was . no prj f,lio 3d of July. .

Witness did not lieliovo in -vhat Is termed by j some wiilcrs ' emotional insanity," or "moral j insanity." "Kleptomania," be. considered I sittiuiv thieving ; "dipsomanix," drunkenness, : and " pyhiimaeia," incendiarti'tn. These desig- . nations were simply couveiuout terms which j had been iuvonted to cover certain crimen. ! " Insanity," Baid the witness, "is never transniitlod any more than cancer." I Kcovillo desired to put lu evidence certain ; tabulated statements from the annual reports - of nhnoss. From these it appeared that of j

seven were bv persons acting under an insane delusion of divine authority far tbotr acts. At the r quint of the District Attorney witness described briilly these casts and added, "each cac was one of marked insanity) independent of the hoiuiethd act" Dr. Gray was aiked a few mora questions I y ScmvIIav w'lieii tho Distr ct Attorney announced th" conclusion of tbe examination ou tho part of tho thirwllimellt Dr. Uuwker. of Kansas City, was called by Bcovile.

She s-iid "she had entertained grave doubts as to the mental condition of G .utcau at tho timesbo obtained her divorce, and thought at tho time she had better deft r the d vorce proceedings, and await some further developments in the montal condition of her husband." Clark Mills, the sculptor, was culled for the purpose of identifying the plaster cast of Ouiteau'p head. At tho first question, "Did yon make a plaster cast of the prisoner's bead?" Davidgo objected to any reopening of the question of insanity, suult as would bo involved by the identification of tho cast by this witness. Tbe question of iusauity had been gone over direct and iu rol utltd. The prosecution had already admitted the genuineness' of the cast That was all that could be asked by the defense. After further argumonts, the court ruled ngaiust bcovillo, and tho trituoss was with"The "prisoner undertook to read a letter, as he claimed, from an old friend of President

With this outburst lie subsided, however, and turned his attention to writing autographs. Bcovillo again brought up the question of introducing new witnesses, nud, after argument, an agreement was niado that the defense submit a motion in writing to-morrow, giving the names of witnesses and the facts to be testified to, and supported by affidavit, giving the reasoa why such witnesses were not introduced before. " TBinTV-Eion-ra rat. Pcovillc, counsel for the defence, offered t motion for tbe admission of further evidenct to prove the insanity of the prisoner. Dr. McFarlaud, of Illinois, was to prove from what bo had read in tho papers that Guiteau was insane, and some Government detectives were to testify to the same from interviews held wi'h him soon after the assassination. Other witnesses would declare that ho had acted iu a ci iu; y manner a few days bef ore he committed the crime, and Dr. Heard, it New York, was r. ady to swear that the i ssassin was crazy.

It is certain that no country has been so much indebted to their women foriatelictual aud social pri'stigo as France. It is, therefore, unpleasant to learn through Jilacktvood's Magazine that this glory is of the just N ueteen pages of a lato nuniter of the periodical are occupied with an article entitled " The Dccadencei of French Women." The alleged cause of the decline is the establishment of republican institutions. These have changed French society. Individual liberty has. been diminished through the laws which have nominally leveled tho old burners between classes, and have really opened tho whole Booial territory to the warfare of class ngaiust clasj. Woman is no longer the uucrowned queen that (he once was. She ean no longer dictate from her ealou, with as much authority as the monarch

from his throw , and with her power most of her brilliancy has dissapeured. Were she to display her art ami sentiment as formerly, 'they would fail tc exert the power they once enjoyed, and hence, falling into disuse, because theit practical efficiency has departed, they have declined and died. There is probably some truth in the assertion that the old time supremacy ol women has denarted. The social condi

tion of France has been affected by the influences which have ohangai every other country. Yet the present is a period of transition, and when one things have become settled, tho old brilliancy of the cultivated French women will reassert itself. They hav not all become idiots through t change of political institutions. The atmosphere of change may have chilled theii vivacity, but it will not be for long. When once republicanism has become an assured permanency in France, it beneficent effects will make themselvet apparent in all political aud social circles. The frivolity which was too often aa accompaniment of the old time brilliancy trill not revive, but there will come in its place conscientious self -control.an earnest philanthropy, and a living interest in ttu public good.

The year 1820 is the genesis of our statistics, as previous to that time no statistics of immigration were officially kept. The toUl number of immigrants for the years euding June 30, 1380 and 1881, wul be seen by the following: ISSI 457,287 1 18111 609,431 By far tho largest number arrivod at New York, the lignres of the Bureau of Statistics showing that, at that port the total arrivals for 1881 were 400,871; the next on the list in point of numbers is Huron, Mich., where they aggregated 111,1.70. There are three other porta where the arrivals were relatively heavy: Baltimore, 40,017; Boiiton and Charloiitoven, Mass., 41,018; and Philadelphia, 3 1,865 leaving 41,491 who arrived at thirty-three other ports. A statement as to the ages of the imniigr nta for the year 1881 will be interesting in this compilation: Uuiler 15 years ef age 163,480 F!:-een and under 40 years of age 45t.4'.l6 Fuit) years of age and upwant 01,466 It is worthy of note that by far the greater part of the immigrants are men under 40 years of ago, or, i-' other words, of men who, if they reninined in Europe, would be subject to military duty. It has beou estimated by careful statisticians that of the 10,803.180 immigrants who have come io the United States ski co 1820 up to June 30, 1881, Irelaud and tlermony have furnished over 3,000,000 each.

The Pleasures of the Table. Tho simplest food will not suffice to maintain a community in mental and Ehysical health, and to produce the ighest form of efforts. A people who live on rice will usually be found unfit to do auy thing better' than grow rice. Monotony in food, as in other things, bepets dullness. For all classes there must be something in life to' look forward to if men are not to become soured; and, conrtitnted aa we ore at present, the plecsures of the table must continue to form au important element among the pleasures available for mar.. But if the uso of luxnrous food bo defenmblo on those grounds, absolute waste of food, at auy rate, produces the ill effect pointed out, without tiny compensating advantage. Tho dinner at every gluttonous city feast contributes his quota to the already existing distress iu souio other pnrt of 'the community. So does tho gutwt at a charity dinner. The money he eubsoribes to tho charity is merely a transfer of wealth which leaves the world neither rich nor poorer ; tho dinner he eats or leaves increases tho poverty of his neighbor.
