4 power of religious ins1inct-that craving of
3the soul which directs it to its God Millions
3of men have in their sorrowful days turned to
4God as abe flower turns to the sun. Again
5this providence necessi4stes modification OF
ethe prevalent view of prayer. Never was there
$such a unanimous prayer fer one thing-never

planned to the parson that her skip

christencd by the name of "Hyena."
The parson was startled and shocked
at the idea Of labelling an infant with

mother that she must have made n mis-
take, and that it would never do to
give the name Of u beast Of prey to a
christian child. Mrs. Squires persisted
in saying that there was no mistake.
and that she dare not diverge from the
order Of her skipper. After much per-
suasion he induced her to defer the
baptism till the shippers return. On
his arrival he called on the parson and
explained that his ..old woman had
made a mistake, and that he had di-
rected the baby to be christened, not
''Hyena," Blu. Joseph Hyena." The
parson pondered q moment. and then

The approaching trial of Guiteau
possesses 81 much public interest at
this time, because of the fear that
through the t~echnicalities of the law
the assassin viii escape adequate punish
ment- He have heretofore stated our
grounds for believing that the courts Of
the District of Columbia have iurisdic-
tim over Guiteau for murder; we have
also shown that should the courts, de-
eide otherwise the laws Of New Jersey
confer jurisdiction upon its courts be-
cause the death OF President Garfield
occurred in that state. But the authori-
ties Of this state must first obtain the
custody Of Guiteau. The old French
cooking recipe runs: First catch the
rabbit Assuming that everything
VIII be lone in a legal manner in Gui-
teams case, the first step is for an in
dietment to be returned against him in
the proper county. Then the governor
Of New Jersey will issue his requisition.
The authority for this appears in sec
ton 5g75 U. s. revised statutes (enact-
ed in pursuance OF the constitutional
and reads as follows: Whenever the
executive authority Of any state or terri
tory demands any person as q Jugitire
from j9stics, Of the executive authority
Of any state or territory 10 rhich such
person has Jfed, and produces a copy Of
an indictment found" etc.
The section then provides that such
person be arrested, etc. We have cited
enough Of the law To show the condi-
lions precedent To arrest upon requisi-
ton. The italics are our own; the
words thus distinguished show that be-
fore q person can be delivered upon a
requisition he must be "a fa1itire from
justice. y and he must have fed. Now
Guiteau 10 not q fugitive from New Jer-
sey, neither did he fee from that state.
Hence there Is no authority for taking
him 10 View Jersey for trial This point
has been decided In many cases.
In 1879, the grand jury Of Cook
county, Ills, found an Indictment
