Detroit shortly b.'fore the breaking out of the rebellion. When hostilities commenced, he was commissioned Surgeon of the Third Michigan Volunteers, and was iu charge of the division field hospital at Bull Kun. Subsequently some of the most imporUnt medical trusts of the campaign were handed over to his skill and patriotism, both of which he evinced ia a marked degree, and sometimes uuder the most trying circumstances, having at times had charge of from twelve to fifteen thousand patients. On the organization of the Board of Ilealth of the District of Columbia, he was appointed one of its members, and was afterward elected its President. Subsequently the Medical Society of the District placed itself in opposition to him, because, as was alleged, he was the discoverer und abettor of the famous cure for cancer, "Cundurango," which the Society thought proper to denounce as a quack medicine. Dr. Bliss, who resides in Washington, was the first physician to rrivn at the side oi the wounded President. On

He has never
asked to have anybody sent for. It will be remembered that he arranged when he planned the asrtssination of the Pressdent to be driven directly to the Jail, hoping thereby to escaie popular fury. It is thought that he feels some comfort and security in having soldiers about him. From what can be learned of the ideas it is apparent that in case the President had been killed, he never expected to suffer for the crime. He had in his fanatical frenzy worked himself up to a pitch which he felt it his duty to remove the President in order to make room for oue, who in his opinion, would be more just to all parties. He thought when the change was made.the people would come to look at the matter in the
same Iifiht, and that he wouia be regaraea as a public benefactor. Ollicials at the Jail state that (iuitcau is a very tractable prisoner. The representations frequently made that he is rotier and querulous are not founded on facts. His diet has been the subject of considerable newspaper comment. When he was first taken to Jail he suffered a little with a derangement of the bowels, and at the suggestion of the Jail physician. Dr. Young, he was given tea instead of coffee. Coffee sweetened with molasses is served to the prisoner as a rule, molasses being administered as a laxative as the prisoners pet little exercise. Iu (Juiteau's case coffee was omitted from the bill of fare for a while, put now he frequently asks for coffee and gets it. He evinces considerable interest in his diet, but not more so than is customery with prisoners and he does not complain. Wheat bread is served to prisoners for breakfast and corn bread for dinner. When corn
bread does not ajrree with a prisoner ne is given wheat bread altogether. For the same reason that tea was served instead of coffee, (Juiteau was "put on the white bread' list. He seems to relish milk and often asks for it. He takes a special gastronmic delight in meat. 15eef seems to be one of the main objects of his life. He shows little concern just now about anything efcept his meat. He has lost no rlesh since his confinement, and if anything is in better condition than when he was taken to the Jail. He is now apparently in excellent health, oats heartily and sleeps soundly. He is more connosed now and less nervous than when tirt taken to the Jail. He has settled down, officials say, to await philosophically for the .'suit. At no time since his continement, it is stated by his attendants, has he shown any manifestation of
sorrow or remorse, lie tnows some anxiety about the President's condition and hopes that he will recover. The prospect of being punished for murdvr does not now seem an ag'.eeable one, as Guiteau evidently feels satisfied that the people would not now justify his act. He never hails prisoners passing his cell to inquire for the news about the President. Guiteau, in fact, shows no desire to communicate with the prisoners. He considers himself above them and does not care for any association with them. He does not regard himself as belonging to the criminal class. The prisoner reads his Bible almost constantlv. The Warden asked him yesterday if he found anv news in the Bible, and he replied, "I lind many tilings that like to read." He undertook at tirst to use his time in revising his work called "Truth," a sort the Bible. The great
est part of the only edition of this work ever published was destroyed by lire at the place where they were printed in Boston.
