said his disposition in that respect was to talk

Seville continued: dts true, as he says,
that the notice brought ne response which
shows there's one woman in the United
States that probably lost her reason also"
This remark elected a good deal Of laughter,
but not from the prisoner who angrily sx-
claimed: 81 wrote her two letters and she
wrote me two; you (Scoville) suppressed the
rest. / have been looking for response to
my last letter for three weeks, aud am GER
tain you have lied about it. tell you so
publicly he continued, raising his yeice,
you can't fool me, am going to follow hsr.
(Laushter.) Scoville: ''The letters Guitteau
wrete l did not send.' "No, you didn't
send them. That's not ths first lie you have
told" cried the prisoner, emphasizing his
words with blows upon the table, 81 knew
you had been lying; you told me you sent
those letters and now you say you have
not The Court, sternly: "Be quiet"
and it was in vain that his brother and
sister attempted to quiet him. Scoville said,
''All that | want iu this case is that truth
shall prevail, and if you believe l produce
all the evidence produce for theatrical effect
without earnest conviction, it is just and
proper to be done. I want you net only to
reject it, but 10 charge it against me with ten
fold effect in your final verdict. (Applause.j

and do not like it now. 1t had too mnch ne
gro about it.
| The Judge then admitted the lettsrs, most
of them being addressed to Mr.. SEQ
vile, and soma to his sister. Those Of earl-
est date, 1858, show nothing peculiar, but
gradually they drift into d religious turn,
quoting texts of scripture and
appealing to his sister to turn to God.
this feature of them is marked after he had
gone to the Oneida community. The Fl
letter is dated Friday 9th; i" this he lays
down and supports the foctrine Of cemnun'
ity. When this latt letter WAS read the
prisoner said, 81 forgot that letter. it is :
very good represe ntaton OF the influence
under which lived for six years; and I was
not aware It was in existence. The lsst let,
ter from Oneida was dated October, '66 anc
stated that his views had changed, that he de
sired to leave the community and GO to New
York to qualify for a position in some bank
and asking Scoyille to send him $50. There
were no striking peculiaritities in any of these
letters. except where tI!ay dealt with religious
subjects.
The court then adjourned till tomorrow.

with An air of exhaustion, aud rested mis-
head on his hand wearily, while a careworn
expression appeared on his face,
Scoville then addressed the jury at censid-
cradle length. Much, he said, had been in
troduced in the evidence thus far which, 10
his mind, should have no bearing upon the
case. All men shared the same opinion reja-
tive 10 The suffering of the late President.
1t was not pleasant to conten-
plate these things, and when they
were presented to the jury they
must exercise an influence. The only ques-
tion however for the Jury TO consider was
whether the prisoner killed the President and
whether at the time he was in such condition
mentally as TO render him responsible for The
action. The speaker, with no attempt At or
atorial effect, presented in plain manner the
facts Of the matter, and the points which he
proposed to make and upon which the de-
fanse would rely. Without corcluding his
opening address Scoville requested the Court
to allow hira to finish tomorrow. This was
granted and the court adjourned.

Guiteau's Appetite and Vanity Fed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-While Guiteau
and the guards were waiting for the prison
van the former was served with hot lunch,
and furnished rens and paper. He then sup
piled many applicants with his autograph.
His appetite and vanity arc undiminished.
When the van appeared the crowd passed to
the middle roadway. line of spectators
was also on the opposite side Of the street
This crowd included many ladies, who
watched the procession through opera glasses.
The prisoner was brought out through the
basement and was almost completely hidden
by the guards. As soon IS the door closed
upon him the crowd hooted and yelled and
the van was drawn away rapidly under a
guard of mounted pc lice. The journey to
the Jail was without interest.

Political Complexion Of the Next
House

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Since tbe election
in New York it has been claimed that there
were one hundred and forty-seven straight
Republican members of the next II House, not
withstandiug the defeat Of Astor. On the
special list of members made up OF officers of
the House and those who are entitled to
draw pay it only contains 146 straight Repub-
licans, or one short Of majority over all.
They are from different States as follows:
California, ?: Colorado, /; Connecticut, 6;
Illinois, 13; Indiana, s; Iowa, 8; Kanas, 3;
Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, l; Maine; 6; Mary
land, l; Massachusetts, 10; Michigan, 9;
Minnesota, 3. Nebraska, /; New Hampshire,
3; New Jersey, 4; New York, 10; North Car
olina, l; Ohio, Is; Oregon, l.; Pennsylvania,
IS; Rhode Island 2; Tennessee 3; Vermont
2; Virginia 2; Wisconsin, 6. This is the
list Of Republicans as they will be recognized
at the organization of the House. there are
l46 straight Republicans, Greenbackers, 2
Read justsrs and one independent Republ-
car, Snyth, Of Brooklyn. 1t is almost csr-
tain that 5 Of the Green hackers, the 2 Read
justers and Snyth will vote with the Repub
iie"lis' "AiSH VIII give tAoAi ~ AlaJoii's
The project Of attempting a coalition between
the Democrats and Greenbackers to secure
the organization seems to have been aban-
doned. Nearly Sd members of the House are
| in Washington, and of these only 20 are Re-
publieans. The 20 Republicans are candidates
| for the Speakership, so it is evident not much
progress is yet made in the canvass. All the
candidates talk hopefully, but the truth is
none can give any estimate Of the votes they
will get outside OF their respective States.

A MASSACHUSETTS, farmer says that
light valley lands can be made highly
productive by green manuring alone,
and advises buckwheat to begin with Oh
lands much worn by constant cropping.
Although not as valuable as clover, it
will grow where clover will not. It con-
tains large quantities of nitrogen, potash
and phosphoric acid. Two or three
crops plowed down in their green state
will make light soil dark and loamy.
Success is secured by shallow blowing.
BY covering only three or four inches
speedy fermentation and rapid decompo-
sition takes place.
STACKS of oats if carelessly put to-
gether are often destroyed by exposure
Every farmer may know that the heads
of bundles-of every bundle-should be
kept higher than the butts or straw end.
But indifferent hands often place the
heads lower, or at least on level with
the butts, thus inviting mildew and de-
cay. If oats are to be saved for seed, it
is best to wait until they fully ripen be-
fore cutting. II the straw and leaves
are to be used for food, it is best to cut
while the oats are in dough state and
while the leaves and stems are still
green. Dat straw so harvested is thought
to be very much more nutritious than
corn fodder, and nearly equal to limo
thy. Many, indeed, cut and house oats
the same as hay, and believe it to be
fully as valuable.
The New York Times says: "The best
package for keeping butter through the
summer is white oalpail, vanished on
the outside and made " it'll tight fitting
cover, or for large guam titles white oak
tirkin should be used. To keep well the
butter should be perfectly well made,
sailed with an ounce and quarter Of the
| best dairy salt to the pound, and packed
! while fresh and sweet in clean pals or
tubs. The pals should be thoroughly
scalded and then soaked in clean brine
before being used and busted with dry
salt on the wet sides before the butter is
pnt in. The butter should be packed
solid without any air spaces, and if the
tub is not filled at once, the butter
should be covered with little clear
brine until the next packing is put in.
When the tub is filed within quarter
of an inch of the top piece of clean
muslin dipped in brine should be placed
over it and pressed down; dry salt is then
laid On to a level with the edge Of the
pail, and the cover is pressed down and
fastened. The package is then kept in a
cool, sweet cellar"

THE TALE OF COMET,

by c. P. CRANCH.
red-tuftcd stranger!
o starry-space rangerl
Say now-is til ro danger
Approaching with thee7
Is there much Of q risk in
Thy train in its whisking;
Young star-dragon frisking
So jocund and free
Say where, through the spaces
No star-gaZer traces,
Thou has run thy long races
In deserts apart7
Though bearded and hairy,
Thou'rt light us a fairy;
All CASEY and airy
Some say that thou art
Though old superstition
Once haunted our vision,
And death and perdition
We're shook from thy hair
We now, with reliance
On figures and science,
May look with defiancc
On thee and thy glare.
To sin and to error
You were once 4 sky-tcrror,
AL awful Sre1C heTO-
sine splendor afar.
But now since Leverrier,
We skyC-terrier
Name you, 4 mcrrier
Sort Of Dos-star.
You may frisk through creation
Aud court observation,
And the cannibal nation
With fear be appalled,;
You may drop from the summit
OF space like a plummet,
But you cannot quite come-it
Though Comet you're called.
Perhaps, in your crmine
OF gas, you determine
TO sweep off the vcr1nin
That bother the times
A refOrmcr-a new man
With purpose quite human,
Like the sky-sweeping woman
OF nursery rhymes.
Though daily and nightly
You are burning more brightly,
The earth will dodge lightly
The whack Of your fail.
Like train on q car-track,
You'll speed on your far track,
And never your star-track
Repeat your bright tale.
