A Common Sense View Of the
Guiteau Trial.

Rev. DIR. j. J.. WithrOw, pastor of
the Park street church. Boston, who
recently spent day as Il witness at
the Guiteau trial, writing in the Con
gregationalist, thus closes brief
sketch of the scenes at the trial
''The court room will hold five or
six hundred people. Let him adjourn
to "A room holding less than fifty. At
present there are many of this audience
admitted by ticket. Besides the dozen
Jurors, the lawyers and officers of the
court, admit as many more as the small
room could comfortably hold-instead
of, as now, allowing them to stand as
thick as grass OH the ground There
would then be hardly over score in
the audience. These would he those
who would frOwn, where now the
loathsOme fun eXcites a laugh. They
could he admitted with fair under
standing, and instantly excluded if
they violated absolute quiet. Then
let the court make it condition of ad-
mitting any newspaper reporter that
he shall altogether omit from his notes
| those ribald and base expressions of
the prisoner. In three days such n
process would alter the situation into
a scene of solemn inquiry whether we
ought to execute the man who commit
ted one of the most horrible crimes OF
history; and it would put behind us
| this which is before us now, a travesty
on court trials. This man wants a
crowd. Judge Cox has no right to
| grant it, when he cannot control it.
| There is no law demanding that the
court shall sit in room holding 50
many. There are no rights of the ac
cused which would not he as safe in a
very small room as in this gathering OF

jam of people, producing a fOul atmOs-

the jury in peril. How will the Court

from this cause Guiteau raves be-
cause there are ears to hear and lips tC

that is about to burst over his devoted
head.
Bnt wait. A man enters the Figaro
office.
1t is Jean jacques Lecouvier, the
haberdasher.
He appears excited. He approaches
the counter.
"StOp my paper!" he muttcrs in
husky tones that tremble with emotion.
The thirteen clerks drop their gold
pens and look up with sublime horror
depicted on their faces. The whole
place seems haunted with the gloom
and dampness of n deserted graveyard.
Pierre Buisseant rises trembling from
his couch. He comes forward with
beads of cold sweat standing out upon
his marble forehead.
"Mon Dieu :" he cries in agony, ''you
cannot mean what you say, monsieur
pray you reconsider"
"Stop my paper" repeated Jean Jac
ques Lecouvier, the haberdashcr.
"And why ?" asked Pierre Buisseant,
quaking in every limb.
''You have slandercd Pitou Gaston,"
said Jean jacques; ''yOu say he is a
barber, when you know very well he is
chirOpOdist. He is my friend. Stop
my paper"
And Jean Jacques Lecouvier wrath
fully strode out through the massive
doorway.

She was essaying the most popular
airs of the latest opera. Eugenie lolled

in the miseries of Les Miserables. Lit

marbles on the tapestry carpet.
1t was the home of Buisseant, the
editor. A lofty, gilded, sumptuous
palace where luxury had abiding place,
and want had never intruded its gaunt,
hideous presence.
Madame Buisseant enters.
She wears black velvet and dia-
monds.
That she was an editors wife you
would have guessed by the tira of
pearls and sapphires on her lovely
brow.
"Where is your papa ?" she asked.
"He has not yet returned" replied
Valerie
But just then ii familiar step was
heard on the front stoOp.
In another moment Pierre Buisseant
totters in. He is pale, haggard and
breathless. He sinks upon an ottoman.
"Mon cher! mon cher ~ cries Mad

and seizing his cold, trembling hands,

Among the inmates of Il Western in

fectly sensible, and when accOsted at
such times causes visitors to wonder
why he is confined there. This inmate
entered into conversation the other

man. "And was not Queen Victoria
murdered i'll her palace :" To this
query from the madman the clerical
visitor once more answered in the af1ir-
native. The lunatic named one after
another dozen living royal persona
ges, all of whom the clergyman was
led to admit had been put out of the
way. Finishing his catechism, the
madman turned on the clergyman, and
said, liercely: "YOur dress shows You
are a minister; but you are the worst
! liar ever met"
The man who travels on the railroad,
and sits down by the side of lone fe-
males while labOring under the impress
sions that he recognizes a likeness in
their faces to his wife's aunt's cousin,
met his match on one of the roads in
this vicinity lately. He sat down in
the half of a seat, the other half of
which was occupied by pleasant faced
young lady. His first question was
"Pardon me, miss, but is your name
james have cousin by that name
whom you greatly resemble"
"NO, sir" was the reply, ''my name
is not James. But, pardon me, is your
name Zinc or Copper :"
"Zinc or Copper9 No ma'am," said
the astOnished man. "What led you
to suppose had such names ~

Indian Girl Graduates.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing from the Crow Creek
agency, says: While | was galloping
back to the fort in the company of
DR.. Berger, the post surgeon, we came
upon Il handsome Indian girl, who was
sauntering along the roadside. She
proved to he Ziwin. or Yellow, woman,
one of the Hampton college graduates.
Attired in Il fashiOnable-cut polonaiSe.
.iaunty bonnet and a pair of high heeled
French shoes, as she drew back and
modestly shaded her eyes with tiny
gloved hand, Ziwin was the strongest
advocate of education that could have
been sent among the susceptible braves
of Crow Creek. She is the daughter of
Don't -know-HOw, an Indian store
keeper, who displays over his door
the sign, "D. X. Howe" When little
Ziwin was sent to the college mt Hamp-
ton Roads her fathers house appeared,
in comparison with the surrounding
tepees, to he palatial mansion. The
impression was not etfaced even by
contact with eastern luxury during her
college life. and last week the girl
looked forward with pleasure to the
pfdnu reception WHICH HtT ldtlleT Hdu
arranged for her return. But when
she walked into the rude hut and felt
how completely education had isolated
her from her savage surroundings, the
poor girl burst into tears. That night
she slept in the arms of her sister, and
both girls cried till morning, one be-
cause she was civilized and the other
because she was not. The next morn
ing Ziwin turned everything upside
down. and began general house
cleaning. Her father appeared at the
agency an hour later with melan-
choly cOuntenance, and it is Il question
as to how long he can stand the regime
of cleanliness which has been inaugu-
rated. After few words with the
girl, we passed on, and by piece OF
good fortune overlook one of the Yale
college graduates. He was the pink of
stylish perfection, and would have at
tracted attention even in the East
He said he was surprised to find how
education had altered his ideas regard
ing the Sioux, bat said his people were
all anxious for civilization, and when
we parted he apOlogized for having
left his visiting cards at home.

1t is morning.

1t is morning.
The sun shone cheerfully in through
the windows of The Figaro office. Ten
clerks-neatly dressed and natty-were
writing at the carved oaken tables.
The Figaro was the oldest, wealthiest
and most influential journal in the me
tropOlis. 1t was the organ of the pO-
litical party in power, it had success
fully issued from vast number of libel
suits.
Pierre Buisseant enters. He is the
editor and proprietor. He is very rich
in intellect and pocket. He has fought
duel with an envious rival and has
killed him.
He looks happy.
"GOod morning, monsieur" say the
clerks, rising and bowling differently.
Pierre Buisseant makes no reply.

upon a raw silk settee, and lazily
glances over the columns of The Figa-

deadly WEAKNESS oppressed her. A
strange, heavy dullness was in her
hands and feet and it seemed as if each
day was month long. She got in
peoples way ard made so many mis-
takes that the pOmpOus floor walker
actually shook her, declaring that,
of all the awful girls with which this
world is filed, number % was the aw-
fullest !; and if she was not careful and
did not mind her Ps and Qs she would
be dismissed. Before Saturday had

inquiries were made, but all were so
hurried only Mr.. NOght found time to
visit her and he went very soon, car
rying, awkwardly enough, soft little
package in his stiff old fingers, while
on his arm swung Il fat basket.
"She's sick She's bad sick :" said
the little Browns, sitting on the steps.
''She's got it just like Tommy. He's
over it. She got him over it with

A Modern EmOch Arden.

Loren Perkins, little upwards of
five years ago, was Il resident of Rut
land, Vermont, and had wife and
two children. He committed Il crime
for which he was sentenced to IL term
of five years i'll Windsor prison. After
his liberation. last week, he immedi-
ately went to see his family at their
old home. He learned from an ac-
quaintance that Mrs. Perkins had re-
moved to Fort Edward, and further
that she had become the wife of man
named Fisher. This news was not
gratifying to Perkins, but he resolved
to make the best of the circumstances.
He purchased some little delicacies and
kcepsakes for the children and started
for Fort Edward, where he arrived on
Monday and forthwith proceeded to
make search for his late partner.
With the aid of some gentlemen he
was successful. She who ut one time
was Mrs. Perkins was now apparently
happy as the wife of Mr.. Fisher, a re-
putable day laborer. Perkins visited
the house, where he was agreeably en-
tertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher and
the lady'S mother. After Il short stay,
Perkins, not wishing to disturb the
harmony of the household, bid all an
atfectionate farewell and started for
Fairhaven, Vt, where he learned that
his son, who is now eighteen years OF
age, is employed. Here is an authen-
tic example of self sacrifice. Perkins
home was broken up, but he was con-
scious that any display of feeling on
his part might result in domestic infe-
licity in the Fisher domicile.- Glen's
