And then ScOville Proceeds with His DemolltioA of th3 Case of V" tiie Prosecution

The Prisoner Gets a Financial Lift (in bis mind) and Rejoices Thereat.

.--'Wi

WASHINQTOS, JaD. 17.—Scoville resumed iiis argument a little after 10 and was at once interrupted by Guiteau, who bad been looking over toward the jury for some minutes in an anxious or expectant manner. "Hadn't I better deliver it now he called Out. "Oh yes,' replied Scoville, 'I had forgotten," then turning to Judge COS, 'he desires, your Honor, to prefer a request that he be allowed io address the ury. I have looked over the paper which he desires to read and see nothing tin it of an objectionable character."

Judge Cox nodded assent and Guiteau snid, "I have written dpwn what I wish to say and I will read it. It is in regard to my speech." He then read with considerable emphasis, "I intend no disrespect to this honorable court I intend no controversy with this honorable fcourt. In general I am 8atib'fled with the la\v as proposed by your Honor, but I have suggested a'stifi broader view which I ask yotir Honor to follow that if the jury believe that 1 believed it was right to remove the President because I have special Divine authorilyjso to do and wks forced to do it by Deity, they will acquit on the ground ol transitory mania. Sickles, McFarland and Hiscock were acquitted on the ground of transitory mania. In my speech, published in all the leading American papers yesterday and which I presume your Honor has read, I gave my reasons for asking your Honor so to charge. Reed made a brilliant and lawyerlike plea for the defense and Scoville is making a strong argument for hiB theory, but neither Reed nor Scoville represent me in this defense. I am here as my own counsel, and, as stated at the opening of the case, no one can represent me to that jury. I know my feelings and my inspiration in removing the President, and I have set it forth to my satisfaction in my speech published yesterday, and I ask your Honor, in the name of justice, in the name of the American people, to allow me to address the jury of my countrymen when my life may be at stake. If a man on that jury has a doubt as to his duty in acquitting me my speech will probably settle him in my favor, and therefore in the interest of justice it is of the greatest importance that they hear me in my de^nse. Your Honor canjlecide the matter if you have any doubt as to your duty."

Scoville began with a general complaint of alleged unfairness on the part of the prosecution, particularly of the Prosecuting Attorney. He had from the beginning prescribed who should visit the jail and who should not. He had introduced persons into the prisoner's cell under false guise to worm out his secrets, and when the prisoner said anything which might inure to his benefit the Prosecuting Attorney had.been veiy careful to let it become known. He complained of Oorkbill's unfairness in de-. stroying the notes of itenographer Bailey so that the defense could not have the benefit of them. The conduct of the prosecution in the court room, he alleged, was not only unfair to the defense but was often discourteous and more befitting a police court than this.'

Scoville unwittingly raised a smile by declaring as one count ot his indictment that the government had acted unfairly in putting upon the stand so many witnesses to prove the fact of th3 killing, "going over and over the horrors of the scene' said counsel, 'and I declare that it was a shame and disgrace, the exhibition made ]y the prosecution for the purpose of influesciog your feelings ,and emotions rather than your judgment."

Corkhill (sarcastically) .''We should have been more polite and sympathizing toward the prisoner."

Scoville then criticised severely the course of the prosecution in refusing to permit the prisoner to address the jury for a brief 'hour or two, simply bccause they feared he might disclose by his manner of speech his true mental condition. In alluding to the discussions on the proposition to allow the prisoner to-speaik Scoville quoted the District Attorney as having said, "If the prisoner should be allowed to speak it ought to be from the dock."

Col. Corkhill—"I said nothing of the kind. I protested against his return to the counsel and I said it would be a disgrace to have him speak from the dock."

Scoville then proceeded to give the jury his view« upon Judge Porter and to instruct them as to how much weight they should attach to bis utterances and as to the best means of counteracting the influence of his oratory. "Porter," he said, "is prostituting his fine attainments in an effort to hang an insane man,"

Guiteau called out, "Well, I have been a good boy lately, so you'd better let me out."

Scoville then called attention to the letter written by Guiteau to the District Attorney and from which, a portion had been clipped, as he claimcd, by the prosecution, and in a spirit of unfairness.

Davidge, (smiling)—"Oh! just assume that one of the conspirators cut'it out." Col. Corkhill—"I suppose what you are driving at is that you want the jury to think 1 cut a slip out of that letter."

Scoville—"I believe that it was done by you or by your direction, for the reason that you believed it for the interest of the prosecution." ''So do I," shouted Guiteau.

Seoville then proceeded to give the jury his vieWs spon Judge Porter, and to instruct them as io how much weight they should attach to his utterances,

as to

the best means of countersctibg the influence of his oratory. Porter, he said, was prostituting his fine attainments^ in an effort to hang an insane man^f

Recets. Immediately after recess s.cd before Scoville resumed his speech, Gnitean, with an atr of Apparent sincerity, announced that he' was in luck had just signed his name to a check for $25,000 on the First National bank of New York he bad received aKother for $5,000, and another for $750, and believed they were all genuine.

Scoville then reviewed tbe prisoner's life, and said: When he left the Oneida Community he sought out

Beecher'a

cKurcb, the ioang Men's Christian Association and the society of Christian people. His tendencies at this time were not immoral, nor had he shown »ny indication of that awful [with aarcaam] crime of not paying bis board bills, for which the prosecution are trying to hang him.

QorkbUl—OB, no if he ie hang at all

it will be for murder, not for owing board bills. Gaiteaa called out: "I gneas there ain't ranch chance of my being hung any way."

Scoville continued, up to the hour of adjournment, his review of thc life of the prisoner, explaining his aets in the fight of counsel's [Scoville's] theory upon the case. Gaiteau occasionally commented, but never seriously disturbed the course of the argument. Scoville spoke of tbe monumental assurance of the prisoner in naming himself in connection with Grant, Conkling and Arthur. "I should say, a pretty fine, quartette," said the prisoner Later on, Scoville read from Guiteau's speech, when Guiteau again called ont: ')You had better not read any more, Scoville it will go dead against ^bur fool theory."

Death of "Two WeU Koown Circus Performers at Havana from Yellow Fever.

New York, January 14.—Signor Sehastian, very well known for a quartet of a century in tbe circus business, is reported to have died in Havana of-yellow fevirt on the7tb inst. He was famous as a bareback rider, and as one of the few men who rode four or ii± horses at once. lis 1'877 and 1878 he Was with Van Amburgh's circus, in 1879 and 1880 with Barnnm's show, and in 1881 he returned to Vao AmburghV, only, to leave them with Dockrill & Lyon's company fur tbe land where he has died. A groom who has just returned from Havana reports that when he left Bob Stickney and Cook were extremely ill of yellow fever, and since his arrival private dispatches report that Cook is dead. Bob Stickney is a barebsck and somersault rider, and a fine lea per, a son-in-law of old John Robinson, and one of the most promising young members of his profession. Cook was a member of tbe old' circus family of Cooks, and ivaa married to one of the daughters of Maoe. ^"uurn 'Ire, tbe jtgiie* trienne. !.*

Mrs Hayes Knew All About It. Washington Letter to Baltimore Times. When Commander De Lrog, of the Jeannete, drew the awful prize in the lottery of Arctic exploration, his anabi-' (ion rose to fever heat. So much

that

in a measure it -dried. away the teajs of his almost heart-broken wife, who felt the fate of Lady Franklin wrapping her mind as a dead body is swathed in a winding, sheet. Just before Commander De Long left the Capital, husband and wife decided to go to tbe White House and receive'the Executive prayers and" blf siings ere the doomed vessel should jiofurl her sails. Arriving at the proper morning hour, they waiteS, and waited, until patience was gone, when a messenger returned bringing the sad intelligence that J-'the President could not be eeco, but Mrs. Hayes would soon be at leisure," Another period of precious lime passed when the rustling of silk was heard in a distant, corridor, and at last a huge boquet "hove" in sight, with a remarkably smiling lady behind It. Without giving Captain De Long an op-, portunity to get a word edgewise, Mn. Hayes seemed determined to let the visitors know that she had mastered tbe sitnation and knew all about it but imagine the consternation of the brave naval commander to'find that he had been mistaken for a charlatan who had invented wbat he believed to be a method of freezing ont yellow fever on board of ships irrespective of the vessel's latitude.

NBW YORK, Jan. 17.—A large crowd gathered at the Grand Central Depot this morning to witness the departure of the train bearing the remains of the late Senator Wagner to the placc of interment at Palatine bridge.

The Ch'ef of the Statistical Bureau finds that this year the number of school children of Fort Wayne and Evansville largely exceeds the average per cent. It is the custom of tbe department to calculate the» population of a city by multiplying its school enumeration, plus the taxation of polls, and the result generally proves correct, the two cities named being about tbe only exception. The average per cent of tohool children to the population is about thirty-five, but Fort Wayne reaches fiftytwo, while that of Evansville is a little less.

Indianapolis Journal: Hon. John B. Conner returned, Monday morning, from Washington, D. c, wbeie he has been for several days past in consultation with General Hazenand the officers of tbe Signal Service Department While absent he perfected arrangements with the department for the establishment of a station in each county in Indiana, the instruments and office equipments to be deceived in March, and the station to be established immediately thereafter.

A middle-sized Indian squaw passed through the streets in Virginia City the other day, carrying on her back a stove Weighing fully 150 pounds. It was sustaned only by a narrow band passing bver her forehead, and she had carried it nearly two miles. I A Canada paper says that a Mr. Neljjon, of Ottawa, shot an elk at Moose Jaw creek recently, whose carcass when dressed weighed 850 pounds.

Steam vessels for whaling have proved highly profitable. The nrst one ever sent out from the Pacific coast was the Mary and Helen, which cleared last year enough to pay her entire cost and $40,000 besides. The second venture, that of the Belvidere, has returned from a voyage of only six months with $100,000 worth of oil above the investment. The great success of these steamers is likely to revive the business of whaling.

A capture of wild Arizona camels has been made by Indians in the vicinity of Gila Bend. A car-load has been sent east.

They do not differ from ordinary camels, excepting that they exceed in size any yet exhibited.

There is a scandal in Island Creek township, near Steubenville, O., arising from rumors that a Pr6sbfterian minister (a married man) had loved the daughter of another minister in the same section "not wisely, but too well," and in a short time his tender care of a brother's child would bear fruit.

An English writer says that the mid-.dle-class englishman, as rule, does not buy books, except a few classics and professional treatise, but waits for his chance at the book club or circulating library. There are instances where authors are asked to lend their own copies by men of ten timestheir income. tVme and china may be bought, but books must be hired for, says the Writer, the English are educated to the point of reading, but not to paying for books.

A St. Louis clergyman writes: On one of my trans-Atlantio trips I remember we had an Irish Bishop on board who snored like two men. In the next cabin to him were two ladies, who complained to the steward that they couldn't rest, and the steward suavely asked the Bishop if something couldLn't be done in the premises. "Certainly," said the Bishop. And. next day there hung a placard in the grand saloon, which said: Notice—The-Bishop will snore from 11 to 4." 1 iThe "Indian question" is to be represented to the people of the eastern states In quite a new light. Mrs Hopkins, nee Sarah Winnemucca, a bright vivacious full-blooded Piute Indian of pleasing manners, and possessing a rasp fund of practical intelligence, will deliver lectures upon the "Indian agencies." She says that the condition of the tribes in the far west is deplorable, and that there will surely be another outbreak unless the president remeves many of the palefaced Indian agents who systematically rob the savages.

Although New York has a number of illuminated clocks, scarcely any of them have dial plate^ easily read, at night except by persona of decidedly strong sight One of the best night clocks in existence is that of the Horse Guards bvilding in London. The light, known as Bude light, is not within the clock, but is thrown upon it just as that of a bull's-eye lantern is thrown on a dark corner. This light was invented by a Cornish savant, Sir Goldsmith Gurney, who called it Bade after his native i^lace. .. A feravejgj in Japap writes: "And

here let mb say, once for all, that though the prescriptions of Japanese etiquette ace many, and even onerous at tunes, it is not in these formalities that the much-talked-of Japanese courtesy essentially consists, but in the modest self-restraint of demeanor,, the promptness to oblige, the unsleeping care to avoid whatever might by any possibility annoy or offend, and the peculiar gentleness of tone and manner which render the Japanese, whatever his rank or position may be, so truly a model 'gentle' man in the proper ana authentic sense of the word."

The census has been taken all over France, but the result will hardly be known before the middle of March, as the drawing up of the various statistical tables will entail much labor. Meanwhile, it is interesting to look back into the past and to see what progress the population of that country has made in the way of .increase since the beginning of last century. In 1700 it was not quite up to 20,000,000 in 1801 it was a Sttle over 27,000,000 in 1886 there were 88,000,000 of Frenchmen, but the year 1872 shewed a diminution of nearly 2,000.000. The war and the losses and misery which it had entailed, coupled with the surrender of Alsace-Lorraine, were the cause of this substantial decrease. In 1876, however, matters had already begun to improve, and the census taken in that year raised the figures to exactly 87,000,000. It is hoped that this years census willshow that tbe population of France has increased even in a greater proportion, and that it may be found to have risen to 88,000,000, tho highest number ever yet attained.

Josh Billings' Philosophy.

Homely Truths Told in the Very Homliest Lan{oaite Imaginable. If you will sit down and wait, yi man, at least one haff ov the things ov life will at sum time eddy around near yu, while tlte more vu chase them the more they will break into a run.

All ov natur's works ar apart ov a perfekshun ov a plan.' She makes no mistakes, 'creates no vacancys, and guesses at nothing.

Ideas are what wins, but if a man hain't got but one, he is very apt to run that one into the ground, and take him-, self along with it.

Laffter proves nothing. Wize men laff, and ideats grin^U the time. Cunningiz a weakimitashun of wisdum, and iz liable at enny time to m^jgo into fraud.

Happiness haz no abiding place, but often iz very near at hand, like the old woman's spektakles. After hunting for them hi and lo, she found them at last safe on her noze.

Very menny seek knowledge, not so mutch for the truth az for the spekular shun tharze in it.

Heroizm iz simple, and yet it iz rare. Every one who duz the best they ken iz a hero.

Buty is a dangerous gift. The vanity it inspires, and the base flattery it attracts, its poseessors are not. to be envied.

Charity makes no mistakes that she kan be charged with. Good breeding iz the only thing that kan make a phool endurable.

Servitude iz so unnatural that an honest servant iz the rarest of all things. There iz great-art in knowing how to give without creating an obligation.

As selfish and ill-bred as tho mass of mankind are, I prefer to live with them rather than go into solitude and try to live with myself.

Gratitude is a word that you will find in the dictionarys, but you will not find much of it anywhere else.

If a man haz got the right kind of religion he kan pick up a kreed ennywhere that Will fit it.

Improvements in Photographing. Meissonier recently invited a number of painters, sculptors and men of letters, to nis studio in. Paris to meet Mr.- Muybridges, the American who has succeeded by means of a series of instantaneous photographs in picturing animals in motion. The inventipn nas been of inestimable value to the great French painter in his work, and it has stimulated foreign photographers to attempt equally as remarkable feats. M. Heickel has been able to photograph from a boat in active motion a dear plate of tho shore at Berck, on the French coast, with all its bathers and promenaders. An English artist has photographed swallows on the wing and jcea the reflection they threw on a pond in passing over while a Frenchman, M. Addra has photographed a young girl springing over a'cord.
