Filling Little Pitchers.

Let us, then, keep in mind our proverb, •* Little pitchers have narrow necks,” and ask, How are they to be tilled? How fast? How far? With what? Frrst of all, how fast? That depends entirely upon the capacity of the vessel—the natural ability of the child's mind; and there arc not two of them alike. Very rapid pitcher-filling is, for instance, to be found in the "Life of John Stuart Mill,” As a young child he had an amazing aptitude for serious learning, and his father had an equally

amazing determination that he should pockets of people reading street bulle-

Osi; of the matters that will attract the attention of the coming session of Con gross, is the tariff. There seems, however, to be little chance of any legislation on the subject, as both patties are divided on the question and are r.ot anxious to make it a live issue for 1884. Trie manner in which the subject will lie gotten rid of, for a few years at bast, will be the passage of a hill similar to what is known as the Eaton Bill, which provides for a Commission to consider the entire question of tariff revision. In the event of such a Commission being appointed, their labors could not be completed in less than two years, and Con gress could delay action at least two years longer. The Guiteau trial is, probably, the most singular ever held in any court, and is noteworthy for more reasons than on - The Judge allows the prisoner to main a lenghty address in c-iurt, thereby vir tually admitting his sanity, and then stulili- s himself by allowing this same prisoner to insult every witness appealing for examination. The court is frequently interrupted by laught r, auplause, etc., and each day adds to the broadness of the farce. iScoville, attorney for the defense, made a peculiat opening plea for the prisoner, noticeable for its lack of judgment and discretion. ‘'He spoke of his client as still a most gentle, kind-hearted, affectionate man— a man who would not harm a being in the universe from a bad motive. This is drawing hearily on public credulity. Had Mr. Scoville d dared thathisbreth-er:in-law was origin ally the gentle, letder, shrinking person he depicts, and that mental aberration alone could account for his change into the paragon of aelfi-hness, vanity, and brazen impudence which every word and act o! 1 is attest, h 1 might have laid the Laris of an argum ut. As it i-, Mr. Scoville simply discredits his own character as a judge of human natun by failing to see that Guiteau is choked up with egotism. Bearing upon this point is the evidence of one of Mr. Srovdie's own witnesses, a physicGn, who loutid in tiuitcau's father, in his last day*, ‘ a degree of petulance and fiult-finding to the greatest extent he ha 1 ever hnonn.” This was the same Luther Guiteau of whom Mr. Seville had said, the day before, in his plea, that “he w as us gentle as a worn: n, loving as a little girl.”
