Only part of the apace allotted to the audience appears in the diagram. Thia portion is dally filled'with a thronging crowd that presses up to the bench, the witm se-boa. and ev< n makes it difficult to determine where the jury begins and ends. The sp:., v.. mainly occupied by reporters’ tables, and what is now used for the prisoner’s d k was until a short time ago appropriated by the female correspondents. The aisles are always tilled w,th men ami women, who stand immovable during all the proceedings, for the crowd at the d ...rs makes egress and even movement Impossible. As will be seen, the counsel torthe Government aud defense, and until Ihtely Guiteau himself, sat in a line at one end of a long table fronting but outside the bar.

,\0 NONSENSE. How a Freneh Court would have tried Guiteau. The French way of conducting the trial of the nuirderer Guiteau may be stated with brevity: The murderer being presented in court, thejudge would have addressed him: Judge—Ha! miscreant! You have murdered our good President. He nad done no wrong. His wife and children inouru, his country has lost him. Your life has been traced. You are a scoundrel. What can you say? Pris >ner —I was impelled by thDeity to remove the President. It was not a personal n atter. Nome of our politi’ions were abusing the President, and for the sake of peace the Deity put it into my head to remove him. The Deity did it, not I, as I was but the instrument. Judge—Miserable! Then you plead insanity. Jake the wretch to prison; summon a enmmMun of experts in diseases of the mind to make a personal examination of the culprit ami report to morrow whether he is responsible for his acts. The commission would have been found, and the report made without more than one day’s delay. The report would have been that the miserable wretch knew enough to know that murder was a crime; that his pretense of irresponsibility was the last res >urce of a desperate wretch.

That would been the proper end to the trial. Lawyers’ speeches by the day to befog the case would not have been permitted. The mouth of the murderer,if he had attempted to gabbleinsults,would have been stopped by the judge. The idea of feasting the soundrel in jail, and running after him for photographs, and flattering him by taking a cast of his horrid head, could not have bebn entertaine<t for a moment.

Thejud' e would h >ve called up the murderer on the third occasion of hiappearance in the court, and without wasting words—without any foolishness or display, or rhetoric, or sentiment —sentence him to death. No time would have been fixed for the execution. A few days perhap- would have passed, during which time the condemned eould have been visited by a scientific man or two, to make sure that the wretch was not an irresponsible maniac, and the formality of an application to be made lor ti e mitigation of the sentence. The reply t > such an application would have been a simp e refusal, and the day after, or at least t e third day, a huge black van would have appeared in the morning at out two o’clock in front of the prison, and in an hour the guilotine would have been in order —and then the executioner would have knocked on the cell door of the murderer, that his time had come and he must make his toilet of death. That means a close shave an 1 haircutting, and a low necked shirt. While the preparations were being made the murderer might have been allowed a cup of coffee, with perhap- a few drops of brandy in it. Half an hour suffice* for the ceremony of preparation. The services of a venerable priest may be had. The i>on gate.- roll open without noise, ami the ghastly assassin is thrust forward and under the knife, as cooly and rapidly as a hog is handled in the killing season at one of our pork houses, and in the twinkling of an eye the heavy triangle of steel glides down the ladder frame, hisses thro’ the neok, and strikes the rubber cushion with a low thud. There is nothing in this process to cultivate the v.inity of miscreants to become murderers—no autographs, photographs, phonography, and no models of heads by bogus artists, or big dinners, or double breakfasts, or correspondence with female fools.

The Diphtherial Poison. The latest researches in America point out the diphtherial poison as that of a vegetable growth in the human body, called “Aiicrocoii." The ; last lig t was thrown on it by the lecture of Prof. Horatio Wood, before ■ the academy of natural sciences, Philadelphia, who had worked in connection with Dr. Henry F. Foru.ad, to ’ trace the diphtherial poison to its true , origin. The Buddington epidemic was so terribly disastrous to little children tbat it was considered the right spot :b bring from it the poison a» it was found in persons who had died with diphtheria. The “Microcoii” were found to have so increased that tlvey had choked up the internal organs ot little children, especially affecting the spleen and kidneys, where the plant was seen under the m icro.-col>e, frequently to fill up and choke the blood vessels. In ultimate ..aues the membranes that had formed wire found to full of the little “MitiJl men -eenied to be of the most mtsi"* n(| aud „„ a remeilu] thoroug ■ , <f 4uted out that InuoeumiZw d» dipiHberia what It is su do for small-pox.

We ire rather inclined to preventives, and in diphtheria as in other diseases the best preventive is a constant watchful care of your health. Not a timid fear of doing this and that liecause it may injure you, l>ut the following up of straightforward laws of health. Breathe elean, fresh air; give the body enough nourishm nt; avoid great changes of temperature ; dress suitably and fear nothing. We may here clash with many a preconceived opinion in stating our vi. w of the treatment of this disease. Formerly caustics were much employed to the throat, but such measures are no longer advocated, and eliminating and tonic medicines, detergent gar gles and applications, together with a nourishing diet are approved of. To us it appears that fresli air is the first necessary; we should allow a diphtherial patient to be near an open window. Next we should use hot malt vinegar for flannel wraps round ! the throat, gargles of the same diluted with water, and the most touie diet possible. Neither quinine nor mineral tonics, but hot, strong wines, yolks of eggs beaten up in strong beef tea; warm baths ma le of camomile flowers: feet placed in mustard and water, au.l ilaunei wraps soaked in hot vinegar around the stomach. The juice pressed from raw beef, heated in a tarina boiler and given constantly, but above all hot red wine. Inhalations of the fumes of vinegar with open mouth and pencillings of the same within the mouth. The use of lemons is also to be recommended. Diphtheria is a preventible disease, and when we know more of the conditions under which the health of human life can exist, and are inclined to listen to and act according to it, we shall have fewer epidemics such as those of diphtheria.—[Food aud Health.

Small-Pox. The president proposes to send a message to congress on the -subject of small-pox. He will advise immediate legislat on looking to its suppression, but it is safe to say tliat lie wil not recommend such a scheme as his predecessor, Jan.es Madison, bad the pleasure co carry out. Theprevalei ee of small pox in the winter of 1812-'l3 frightened ,c ingress, and an act was passed, Feb. 27, 1813, authorizing the president to appoint an agent to “preserve the genuine vaccine matter,” and to furnish it tli ough the postoffice to everybody who applied. This agent was directed to send a copy of the act to every postmaster, and also to notify every postmaster how applications must be made for the virus. To make the system work, leave to frank letters to and from the vaccine agent on the subject of vaccination was granted. The law never amount - ed to much, so far as staying the disease was concerned, but it remained force until May, 1822, or over nine years. The population of the w hole United States in 1812 was not much ureater than that of Indiana, Illinois and Missouri now.

L. T. FOSTER. Youngstown, 0.. May 1U 1880. Db- B. J. Kkndalx. & Co., Gents: 1 had a very valuable Haiuhletonian colt which 1 prised very highly, he had a large bone epavin on one joint and a smaller one on the other which made him very lame; 1 had him under the charge of two Veterinary Surgeons which failed to cure him 1 was one day reading the advertisement of Kendall’s Spavin Cure in the Chicago Express, I determined at once to try it and got our Druggist here to send for it, they ordered three bottles; I took them all and thought I would give it a thorough trial, 1 used it according to directions and by the fourth day the colt ceased to be lame, and the lumps had entirely disappeared. I used but one bottle and the colts limbs are as free from lumps and as BD<ooth ismiv horse In the State. He is entirely cured The cure was so remarkable that 1 let two of my neighbors have the remaining two bottlels who are now using it. Very repecetfuly,, L. T. FOSTER. Perm-verance Will Tell.

I think I ought to let you know that 1 Lave removed two bone spavins with Kendall s Spavin Cure, one very large one, don’t know how long the spavin had been there. 1 have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take the large one off and two for the small one. 1 have used ten bottles. The hurse is extremely well, not at all stiff, and no bunch to be seeu or felt.

N Y, I February 21, 1878. j B J Kendall, MD, Dear Sir:—The particular case on which i used your Kendrll’e Spavin Cure was a malignant ankle sprain of sixteen months slanting. I hid tried many things, bur in vain. Your “Kendall Spavin Cure’ put the fool to the ground again, and, for the first time sin-e hurt, in a natural position. For a family liniment it exceils anything weever used Yours truly, REV .M P BELL Pastor M E church, Patten's Mills, N Y. Bakersfield, Vt, Dec 23, 1879. B J Kendall A Co, Gents—l wish to add my testimony in favor of your inraluabie liniment, “Kendall's Spavin Cure.” In the rpring of 1872 I slipped on the ice and sprained my right limb at the knee joint 1 was very lame and at times suffered lhe most excruciating pain. I wore a bandage on it for over a year, and tried most everything in my reach, but could find nothing that would give me permanent relief. When I overworked it would pain me very much. In Ajril 1878 I began to think I should b" a cripple for life; but having some of “Kendall s Spavin Cure’* thought I would iry it. I used one-third of a bottle, and experienced relief at once. The i left me and has not troubled me sine feel very grateful to you and wou’ui— amend Kendall s Sparine Cure to all who suffer with sprains and rheumatism. Yours truly, Mas. J. Bovtbll. KENDALL S SPAVIN CURE. Kendall s Spavine Cure is sure in its effects, mild in its action as it does nolblister, yet it is penetrating and powerful to reach any deep seated yain or to remove any bony growth or any other enlargement if used for several days, such as spav- i ins, splints, curbs, callous, sprains, swell- | mgs, any lameness and ail enlargements of the joints or limbs, or rheumatism in man and for any purpose for which a liniment is used for man or beast. It is now known to be lhe best liniment for man ever used, acting mild and yet certain in its effects. It is used full strength with perfect safety at all seasons of the year.

Au English sleuth hound, which at Blackburn, in England, detected with keen nose the spot where portiors of the body of a child murdered and chopped up by the barbarous assassin were buried, has been brought to Duneeht, in Scotland, to try and discover the spot where the body of the Scotch Earl Crawford, which was stolen from its vaults, may have been buried or hidden. But the Earl had been in bis grave so long that there is not the scent of fresh blood, as in the Blackburn ease, to guide the hound. German emigration in the year 1882 promises to lieeotne even more colossal than in the past year. Already about fourteen thousand tiekets have been taken by vessels leaving Bremen alone in the early spring for the United States, aud every day additional passages are being booked by that route. This does not inclute Hamburg, whence an almost equal number of emigrants will come to his : sldeof the Atlantic.

One of Wa“hington Irving's funny letters tells about a man who in going home from a dinner party, at which he had taken rather too much wine, fell through an open grating into i vault beneath the sidewalk. He found the darkness and silence rather oppressive at first, but lu the course of the evening several of the other guests fell in, and on the whole, they had a very pleasant night of it. This story is naturally suggested by an early ex* perience if David Wingate, who died last month Ju his native town of Rochester, N. H., at the age of 92; years. Mr. Wingate was one es the! American seamen who were seized | by the English and confined in Dart-j *

moor Prison during the war of 1812. When he was shown to his dismal quarters he was surprised to find there his townsman, Dr. Russel!, and many other worthy citizens of New Hampshire. They were all sent home in the Spring of 1815. and since that time Mr. Wingate had lived quietly on his farm in his native place. Mr. 8. D. Horton, one of the delegates to the ini rnatioual money ooue ( gress, who is in Washington | way home from Europe, says a probability of ! regard to silver when*' _■ I assembles in Apjif <a*
