Remarkable Experiences Of an Unfor-
tunato Man.

Last week the Argus briefly chronicled the
death of Charles II. Fairchild, who was burned
to death in Auburn on Sunday morning. He
had q history paralleled by few, and seemed
to have been haunted BY misfortune until his
very death. He was born in Columbia Coun-
ty, where he lived until seventeen years Old,
when he began q sailors life, and lived on the
sea for twenty years, during which time he
Travelled around the world three times. Once
he was shipwrecked and escaped with hfteen
others on . raft. They foated for fifteen
days, during which time thirteen OF them
died, and he and his surviving companion had
nearly persisted from starvation and exposure
when picked up. Atanother time, when his
ship was cruising on the coast OF Africa, No
and another sailor were washed overheard and
managed to reach the shore. There being
no habitation near, they started inland, and
after travelling almost one hundred miles they
fell into the hands of the man-eaters. The
arrival Of the captors in the village was hailed
with demonstrations Of Joy and delight. They
were critically examined by the King, who
ordered them fattened and killed for his own
special consumption. They were then re-
moved to stockade or pen, where for several
days they dieted on the choicest food the land
could produce. They thrived and grew tat,
but were constantly watching an opportunity
to escape, and finally succeeded. The natives
were very superstitious and terribly afraid OF
thunder and lightning. A night or two be-
fore they were to be killed one of these storms
occurred and the guards deserted their
posts and Fairchild and his companion
scaled the stockade which surrounded them.
Near by was river. They found canoe, and
with it they escaped. They made their way to
the coast again, where they acknowledgement
months before q vessel made its appearance.
During his seafaring life Fairchild accumu-
lated about $1,000, which, upon settling in
Philadelphia, he deposited ina bank. A num-
Der of years after he decided upon moving to
New York and had his household goods packed
ready for shipment. He drew his money from
the bank, intending to start for New York the
next day. That night the house in which he
lived burned down, and with it his money and
ten-year-old daughter were burned, and the
rest of his family barely escaped with their
lives. Afterward he moved to Syracuse, and
five years ago he went to Auburn to live, and
there came to his death by being burned With
benzine.-Al6any IN. " Argus.

The Chsistian advocate says that min
sters are often troubled by seeing per.
sons asleep in their congregations.
Often they are themselves to blame.
Their oratory is soporific. But ofteri
the stupidity of the hearer is the same.
Eutychus slept while Paul preached.
Joseph Bradford fell asleep while John
Wesley preached. Bishop James told q
class of young men that if their hearers
slept it was their fault. At that mo-
ment, Bishop Baker, just in from long
journey, was asleep in the pulpit.
Bishop James on being told of it was
much amused, and said: 81 was an
awful example to them.'' Nothing will
keep somepersons awake. In a muir
der case in Hudson County, N. j., Judge
Knapp, not many days ago, was deliver
ing his charge, and saw a juror asleep.
" What is the use," he asked sharply,
"of my addressing this jury, if its MEM
bers cannot stay awake long enough TO-
listen to me-"

declares under oath that he has no doubt of
the prisoners insanity. Further than this,
he said: 81 do not hesitate to reiterate my
opinion that an expert who will in this

my opinion, no expert or dishonest one. {"
DR.. Spitzka underwent . severe cross.ex.

his position mistaken. Spitzka was fol.
lowed by Fordyce Barker, of New York, an

voted most Of his long life to nervous dis.
eases and to cases of insanity. His testi-
mony was exceedingly damaging to Guiteau.
He contraGicted the main declarations of
SpitZka, and showed that there was not one
of the grounds upon which it was claimed
that Guiteau was insane that was valid in
medical science. DR. Barker had no doubt
whatever of the entire legal responsibility Of
Guiteau for his crime. Rev. Rush r. Ship.

little quick or nervous in utterance, but
not sufficiently so to indicate marked pecu-
