Jiide i'orter tiien began a rapid tire of interrogations, eliciting from the prisoner in Iiis s-evenl reulies. tht i.IivmimIIv l.e was a cowar.t, and always keot a.vav iroin perMinal danger. Morally, he was as brave as a lion, when be l bought Deity was bi -k of him. In Iiis opinion the doctors Liiwil the President. The acts of Jones and Mason in attempting to kill him were wrong, and they oiiht to be punilied. unless ibev can chow they were insoired bv Deiiv. Tu witness soon showed s'uus of ininatiemv and excitability, ami striking bis one;i bund upon uie desk, emphasized every sentence niereu. v lien pressed for unsers lie finally became obstinate, and shouted to iu b-e Porter: "I know vou well. hihI I know bigger men than o i areil'veseen von shake your linger at witnesses in New York, out you can t .-Cire me,' and abortiv afier when asked if be believed in lie ten commandment", to which lie lesnonded in the alii :naLive. an.1 if be believed ibat tbe command menr, "Thou sbalt not, kill," ou4ht to read in hi-cae, "i'hou siialt kill." he be came exceedingly violent, and "refused lo d scilss that matter at all.

"You need not point your bonv fore-liinre'r at. hip Judge Porter, I've seen you do that before. but you can t scare me." HOW TO BORROW MOSEY. The witness declined to ir into board in ir house matters, as they had no bearing on ine case. lie supposed lie owed $150 to various landladies, and some lime or other he execteil to pay them. Jude C X directed the prisoner to replv 1 1 the nestioti. nie witness was realiiy driven from one ixtMtioii to another till confronted with the evidence of bis own witnesses, when h would Uilhesila innlv pronounce their evi dence false.

The whites- was rhwdv questioned about ihe purchase of the pistol, an I when a-ked why he bought one with an ivory handle instead of a plain one he lepneo: "itecause 1 thought it was worth a dollar m 're." Judge Porrer Did you not sav it would lonk better in the Patent Ollioe? Witness admitted be might have believed or thought the pis'ol voa!d sometime be placed in the State Department. doesn't like tue word murder. Shortly afterward fiuiteau became very indignant at Jmle Porter's use . tlie word "murder." and shomed fiercely "You seem to delight in the usj of the words kill and murder. There's n t use of your whining in that way. The mere outward fact of how I removed the President has nothing whatever io do with this case." (Juiteau's shrewdness in detecting and anticipating any point which might be made against him ' was a

tüllTEr. I IV

Judge Porter pressed him very closely to fix the day when be rec ived h's alleged " tispirasion" to remove the Prudent, and Gui'e u finally sbn'. ked or, "To remove all tin loosj talk, 1 want you to know that I would have removed tUe President at anv time bet (!! the up. Idle of Ju e and ihe 2 of J:il.v if I bail found the opportunity. I would have donp it for top good of tbe American people."' THE ASSASSIN'S SHREWDNESS. Guitca l was permitted to indulge bis pass'oti f r talking upon the political situation at the time of the shooting, riMil, speaking of ti e President's ingratitude to Grant and Ciinkliiig, be was led by Judge Prter to admit that 'ingratitude is the basest of crimes." Judge Porter Stop, there! What would you btive thought of your ae: in killing tbe President bad he given you ihe Paris ConsuMitp instead of having refused t? (tiiiu jui bad previously siid Miat Garfield was Iih (prisoner's) warm perso ial and political friend; that i o personal motives whatever were inv hod in his act, and fearing evidently that some trap was being laid for him be besilutid a moment, and then with great emphasis. I want to jiw, 'fastet, von soli i riiihf here. I would not have taken the ParisOoiiMilshlp after the Ltof June if I bad Iven appointed to it, a d the President and Secirtiry 15lainp' 1 both bese .(i,. ed me mi liu frkiues to tske it.

The fM-s-exaiinna'ion, liowevrr, wa r rtinued as before recess, tluiteaii s.iid he had no special purp se in Using some flittering words to Maine. "1 simply made a suggestion to him, in case be assisted me in .getting the Pans Consulship, I should feel bound, in ease he was a candidate at the National I'onveuti r, to assist him. That is the way they do in politics. The Judge understands that is the way poliliciais get on. You tickle me, I tickle you." Q lesiion Did you write President Garfield a letter marked "private," in which you said, "I intend to express 1113' sympathy lor you on account of the pressure that lias been on you since you raaie to this city ? A. Yes: I wrote that letter. My idea w'as just this: To express my personal rea'd lor General Garfield 011 account of the pressure on him for otlice. and that is what 1 meant by savin I c nsidered him mv personal friend. 1 sympathize with any President who has this enormous board of olliceseekers at bis throat. At tbe limes these letters were written 1 had not the slightest conception of removing ihe President. If you want to bring those letters against me, to s'iow that Ihey were written at, the time when I bad ihe slightest conception of removing tbe Prei. lent, t en vou are trving to do what you can not do anl will not do V banging tbe railing violently ). Gfl TRAU AND COSKLIXG. The prisoner beingasked how many times he hail S: oken with Conkling on 1 he street, answered: met him once on the street, lie was ex-eediiigly cordial, and heb .wed and said: 'How do you d , Mr. Guiteau?' I was on good relations with all those men during Mar b and April." Porter (slowly and with great deliberation) Did Senator Conkling The prisoner (interrupting) Oil, don'i look so fierce at me; I do'n't 'care a snap or 111 y ringers for you. Porter lint you will answer questions? Prisoner Put your questions in a piiet, simple sort of way and 1 wilL Porter D.d .Senator t'onkling ever promise to suiMM.rt your application for the Paris Consulship? Prisoner My expectations about the Paris Consulship were I would get it through my personal influence with the President, Blaine and Logan; and that when my nomination went to the .S.-nare Senior Colikling and tint sort of men wo ihl see it through, but 1 don t think it ner,s,.ir to discu s this matter of the Paris Consulship. 1 went over it all yesterday and I ded iue to di-eiiss it further. There is IUI 1 1 II Ma ting the time of this honorable Court on it, in going over it again. If yon do not Know me lacis aoout it yet. you had belter read this morning's papers and you will hud them. THE MIS TO HAVE BEEN 8n0T. The prisoner was ask el about tbe inspira tion "of his suggestion to U:i field be w,,iild Micceed himself in 1834" He renlied in a resolute tone: "1 deeii IIP to iliwil thin matter any further. You h ive irone over it two or three times, and I decline to ducuss it any more. If your idea was correct an .ut my having malice in the matter. Maine was the man for me to have shot. Wnat oossibte ill will could I have bad against Garheld? limine was ihe man to have been shot, according t your theorv. My gelling or not g.-tiiug office had nothing to do with it whatever. Ii only shows bow absurd and noi.s-iisical your theory is. If General Uarfieldhal piid respect to those letter it would have been all right, but what did be do? He went and sold htmselt soul and body lo Blaine. He did not appreciate the sentiment and kindness of those letter, but threw himself into Blaine's hand and allowed Blaine to ne the Presidency to destroy Conkling and Gra-it. Q D.d you say to President Garfield, he would have no peace till be got rid of Blaine? Prisoner Yes, and that was the way the btalwart and liberal papers all over the country talked.

Porter Was your motive for demanding Blaine's resignation because he had said to you on the Saturday preceding, never lo speak to him again on the Paris Consulship? Prisoner (excitedly) I told vcu that bad nothing to do with the Paris Consulate. I want to ram that into you, and put it down deep, batcher 1 I am talking now i.hout National politics and not about a miserable oiliiv, and if you would try to get your brains to take that in it would be bett-r. I am not a disappointed olfice seeker. WON T KDATIFV Til MR THIRST. Iu tbe c urse of further cross-examination the prisoner said, in relation to th time of tde murderThe Deitv seemed to be oa my ide ami every one else avaist me. but there is a great deal better feeling to wanl ine 1 ow than th re Was SHMIP three rr four weeks ago. 8 mie of these bitter crank papers have been toning down wondeifnlly for the last three or four week. What they want is a change of heart. They want conversion; they want new ideas about the President's removal. Nothing but a change of heart will satisfy their diabolical t iirst for bloxl. It is not likely the Deitv will gratify them in their thirst for blood. They begin to see it too, and they will see it more and more.'' The prisoner having expressed a belief that iheDiety pro'eeted him from tbe day he shot the President to this day. Porter said, "It depends more on whether tbe Jury nei 'e s you. ( The prisoner That is exactlv what tl 1 Jury is here to pass upon. Whether the Deity and I did the act, or whether I did it on my own personal account. And I tell you further. I expect there will be an actol God io protect me, if it is necessary, from any kind of violence, either banging or shooting. The prisoner asserted his act saved the country from another war. Porter There would have been war now but for you? The prisoner T do not pretend the war was immediate, but I d ) say emphatically (and here he began to declaim iu adramatic manner and in tbe style of as 11 nip sneaker) that Ihe bitterness in Ihe Republic 111 party was deepening hour by hour, and that by two or three years, at leas', the Nation would havn been in a Hime of war. In the presence .f death all hearts were bushed; dissensions ceased. For weeks and weeks heart and brain, so National, centered on ti e s:ek man at the White House; at lea-t, (and here tbe speaker lowered bis Voice so as to be almost unintelligible) when he went the way of all flesh and the Nation was in inouriiing. 'That is a paragraph from a speech I wanted to maKe two weeks ago." be continued, re-uniing his natural tone. and apparently well satisfied with his effort. l: c UK's; 111 very pertinently here and I am glad I had a chance to deliver it." A SACKED Sl'BJECT. Counsel asked the prisoner the necessitv for r.Npie-tinsf General Sherman to send troops to the Jail to protect him forbavine ohe.vtd the D. iiy. A. I would have been shot aid buiijjr a hundred times if it had not bc-n for the troops at the Jail. 2 Any barm in tint? A. That is a matter f .r the law to pass upon. (Impatiently). I will not have Miy mote conversation upon this sacred suhj -et. You are making li lit of a serious matter and I will no talk ub ut it. ; .iii hick to tbe letters, Potlcr read that in which the prisoner hta'ed Garfield's nomination, eleciioo and "icnioyjd" were the acts of (Jod. and then a-ked: ''Who nominated hi in?'- A. The Chicago Convention. Q Was that inspire I? The prisoner hesitated and seemed about to d dce the question, when Porter stopped him with an impatient, ' Now, now, now!'' A. (in ckingU ) Now, nocv. now! I thought (irant or Itlaine would be nominated, and when Garfield was nominated on the thirty-sixth ballot it was an net of God. The facts t-urrounding his election would sustain the pMtion it was an act of God, and .the ficts surrounding his removal would sustain the same ptsition. The prisoner complained of being fat'gued, syi:nr he was iKt ued to speaking live hours at a time, and the Court adj jurned. larking the Spot. Wasiunctox. Dec 1. A mat ble tablet has been place! in the ladies' waiting room of the r.altimore and Potomac Depot to mark thesptt Abere President Gartield was shot. The tabl t is American statuary marble, and consists of a sill resting upon t.vo corbels, outside of which are two pilasters representing an axe and fa?ces.

MOSSLER BROS.,

Yor One 43 nntl 45 East SOME DISMAL PROPHECIES. Au IhigliRh Almanac's Gloomy Horoscope for 1882 What Hill Happen iu the Uuited srate'. ' Zadldel'H Astrological Almanac" for 1.-82 has just apieared in Ixjudon. From the fact that several of tbe predictions made by Zadkicl for the year passed were fulfilled, those for the coiuiner year are attracting considerable attention. In bis preface tbe author says: "The twelve months that have rolled away since we lat addressed the public have been prolific iu tbe manifestations of planetary intluence. The most autocratic ruler in Euro-n?, afier having pscaped t'-c h'dlets of the would beassassin. iur many jeti has at last ftllen a victi'3 10 the bombs of the Nihilists, in tbe year which we foretold would be bis last on earth." Turning to the predictions, the rirbt iu order is tne sun's entrance into Cairico'.uu, December 21, 1331, at about 9 p. in.. New York lime, at the ingress. "Venus and Mercury in the meridian will improve trade and commerce," yet. inasmuch as Saturn is the second houe, we are t.id hat "tbe revenue vwil be- deficient." The position of Mars in tbe fifth bouse, in 7 degrees and 50 minutes of New York's governing sign. Cancer, "is unfortunate for theaters and placesof amusement, and tbe burning of one (probably in New York) is only too likely to take place about tbe 27th to the '29: b of December, 1881." Then because Uranus is in the teventh bouse and in square to Mercury, tbe lawyers are promised plenty of work, while there is a prospect of especially lively times in our Divorce Courts. "At the lunätion Mar ism the tenth bouse, which presignifie. that taxation will press very heavily 011 th people, the taxation threatened most probably having reference to the advanced price of kinds of provisions. "There will be much violence in the United States, and some great man will suffer degradation or": meet with a violent death." At the same tune we are assured that our railroads will be prosperous. T1 . T ... r or January, 10S2, we are reminded that no less than live lanre planetsMars. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are J 10 retr.-graae at the beginning of the year, while the square of Saturn to the sun, nearly coinciding with Neptune's stationary jkjsition on Ihe 23d, warns colliery managers to take extra precautions against accidents. "The Emperor of Germany trill feel the effects of Saturn stationary on bis mid-heaven. Soc alists will disturb his Empire." In the latter part of February we are informed that "great excitement will be witnessed in New York, arid a great conflagration is likely to take place." The sun enters Aries on March 21 at about 9 p. m.: "Mars has just risen at the ingress; the sun, Venus, and tbe moon are in the tentL house; Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter are in the eleventh; Mercury is in the ninth; Uranus is in tbe third. These lKitions preignify much excitement in tbe States, alarms of war, turbulence and bloodshed. Also some vicissitudes, if not panics, in regard to railways." More ver, we are infor-üed that certain portions of this country in March next will be vi-ited by an epidemicof dipblberiaand small-pox. About tbe middle of April "Mars will transmit the ascendant of the vernal ingress at Wellington, producing great excitement in the States." The President's position will be an unenviable one. About the l!Jih id April a plot will be discovered in Russia in which women will be greatly concerned, and which will go near revolutionizing tbe political system of that country. On May 17 tbe Min will be partially eclipsed in tbe sign Taurus. "Tbe ancients averred that a solar eclipse falling in this sign presigniiie" 'a scarcity of the fruits of tbe eatth and corn,' and in the third dec mate of the Hgn. . .:i t 1 . .. . ' : pesmence, iamine, ana destruction 01 preat 1 cattle.'" Consequently a bid harvest is predicted for Ireland. At tbe entrance of thesun Into Cancer, on June 21 at about 6:15 in tbe afternoon, "Mars is in the acendant and Saturn is in meridian; tbe moon and Uranus being in the second house. This will be a critical time for the Americans War can scarcely be avoided. The greatest excitement will be witnessed in the States. Panics and a great fall in public securities are sure to take place. Shocks of earthquake will be felt in some States. The weatherj of the quarter will be marked by intense heat and dryness." July promises to be a momentous month on the other side of tbe Atlantic. "Explosions and deeds of violence will be rre in London." In India there will be "much excitement and bloodshed." Fortunately for the United States, Jupiter is in Gemini our ruling sign "showering down fortunate influence;" while the sojourn of Mercury in Cancer will benefit the trade and commerce of New Yotk City. In August the prospect is still pleasing 11

At the autumnal equinox. September 3, at 8:30 o'clock in the morning, the proiects remain mainlv favorable. "Jupiter is in the ascendant, wbirh proignifies eace, pros.rity. and health of the Americans. Tlie conjunction of Mercury and Mars filling in tbe fifth bouse foreshadows, I fear, a panic of fire resulting iu a dire catastrophe, probably about the middle of October. Uranus in tbe fourth bouse indicates some great storm and cold snap; but, as Jupiter is in the ascendant, le-s damage would be done than wou'd otherwise be tbe case." Zidkiel predicts that the King of Spain is likely to be placed m a tight place in November, 1832. ""Tue sun returns to his longitude in tbe King's h roscoje at midnight of November 23, Madrid mean time. The sun and Mars are nearly conjoined in the lower tneridiau; the moon is in the piace of Saturn at birih, and insetquiquadrate aspect with Mars. liie?e 'xjntions presiguify a period of trouble and great langer near at hand. Assassination is to b feared. In August and September, ISstf, this young Kionarch is under evil directional influences, and, therefore, "foreseeing the danger," like the wise men spoken of in the boot of Fruveib?, should "hide himself" somewhat in the fashion of bis most illustrious sacred royal brother of Russia. Thetilury IiulU.Kubber Man. Correspondence f Ihe Loudon Globe Toe ftraiigest phen unenon we hav seen for a long time i now on view in Vienna. "Der Guuimimenseh," or the india-rubber man, is quite ihe queerest fellow imaginable. He is a pale, flaccid man. with red hair and a bilious complexion; be wears bUck velvet knicker'oookers, and is rery jolite. He can seize tbe skin of his chest with both band-, p ill it away from his body ah nit eighteen inches.and raise it lo the level of his bead; and yet when' he leav- g , instead of this kiti banking in h rrid folds. H ges spreading itelf again, m that not a crease is to ba di-coverrd. Hierin of bis nose he can htretch fix inche, the skin of bis fiiigHM two inches so that his hands look size No. 2 or 30 Ile drags at the calf of his leg, and behold a gKdly and transparent membrane in which can be seen the ramified network f arteries, pink and pulsating. This does not hurt him. He cjii but enough. You see that he well deserves bis title of "Gummimensch." What with Jiis cadaverous face and gluey elasticity, be much lemiudsone of Dore's ghastly portrayal of the damned in the grand illustrations of the "Inferno." The medical faculty are highly exercised anent this man, and they have btrged him for the smallest strip "of frkin, just for a microscopical investigation. There has not been such a case for two centuries, and In those days, of coime. the microscoe was rather 'primitive. "Gummimeii-ch" is a Bavarian, thirty-two years of age. married and has three ornnl children. He charges two florins to h .v himself; his skin feels like velvet, or perhaps rather like the breast of a plucked fowl, but it is not a sweet senfcation to touch him. Another Call for Itonds.
