policeman heard whistle shrilly blown
and q female voice calling for help, and
after a short run he reached the scene
of cOmmotiOn. A man was getting up
and falling down again on the door
steps, and female had her head out OF
an upper window and seemed to be half
scared to death.
"What's the matter" asked the Off
Ger.
"A man has been kicking on the
door"
This man here?'
Eyes. thought he'd tear the whole
house down"
The officer reached out for the man
and made two discoveries at once. 1t
was the woman's husband, and he was
fighting drunk.
"Why, this man wouldn't hurt you
he's your husband"

GUITEAU'S COMING TRIAL.
Judge Portor to PrOsecute-M
Scoyille'S Views at Length.

Washington Post.
Judge John H. Porter, Of New York, Sc
lected by the Government to assist In the
prosecution of Guiteau, indicted for the
murder of President Garfield, arrived In
the city yesterday morning. He had
lengthy interview with District Attorney
Corkhiil and Walter W. Davidge, Esq,
during the morning in regard to the case.
DR.. GRAY. of the insane asylum of Utica,
y. Y. was present for a short timo at the
interview. II is understood that he will be
examined on the part of the Government
on the trial as an expert on the question Of
insanity. Latter in the day Judge Porter
went to the clerks office and took the oath
of office as An fficer of the Government Of
the United States Judge Porter returned
TO New York on the 10 o'clock train last
night. He will be back on Saturday, so
as to be fully prepared by Monday. lie
did not see Mr. Scoyille.
Mr. George Scoville, counsel for Guiteau,
was visited last night by Post reporter at
his residence on Indiana avenue. He talk
ed freely as to the coming trial OF his
client.
Are you prepared 10 go ahead with the
casc?' was asked
Il would rather, if it could be done,
have tho trial postponed until next sprng,
but if that cannot be accomplished L
would prefer that the trial come Oft in-
mediately.
How loug will the trial continue"
81 imagine that it will last from four to
six weeks; certainly for four weeks
What will occupy the attention OF the
court so long,
Well, the first week will be occupied
in tho selection of Jury and the opening
speeches CT counsel. II will take fully two
weeks to hear the testimony of witnesses,
and a week, perhaps, in closing arguments
of counsel. Then there will, naturally,
come up in the course Of trial certain
points of law that will have to be discussed,
and that will occupy time. Yes, it will,
take fully four or five weeks"
Glow many witnesses will there beg'
The defense will have over fifty wit
nesses, and | understand the Govern
ment will have equally as many"
Your defense will be insanity"
"Yes: at present know ofno other plea.
We have abandoned the plea OF malprac-
tice for reasons we thought good"
"Wi!l you produce any OF Guiteaus let
tiers in court as evidence of his insanity
Yes; upward OF 100 letters, covering q
period of thirty years, will be put in as
evidence in the course Of the trial. We
expect to show from these that he has o.
yayS had a disordered mind.

Shorthorn CattiS.

American breeders and feeders will
never realize what they owe To those enter
prising men who, in the first quarter of the
present century, began the importation of
what are known as shorthorn cattle. 1t
was then an undertaking of no small mag
nitude, whilst yet steamboats, werc unheard
of and the voyage occupied from three to
six or seven weeks, to cross tho ocean IN
search of an improved breed Of cattle with
which to grade up their own. 1t was how
ever, work Of faith and a labor of love,
and the American people owe to those
noble men debt of gratitude they can
never realize, much less pay. Some OF
them lived to see good of their enterprise,
but could they see the condition OF the
shorthorn world as found in this country
to-day, it would indeed be to them crown
of rejoicing. From the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and from tho gulf to the extreme
north, almost to tho regions Of eternal
snow, they are found in herds of from ton
10 two and three hundreds; whilst on
countless thousands of farms may DO
found the proud beast at the head Of and
still as of your grading up the native herds
of our pastures. AS one of tho results OF
this early enterprise and tho prosecution
Of the good work through later years, we
are now able to send to Europe thousands
or beasts annually and scores OF thousands
of quarters already butchered and prepared
for market-wi,h, too, a first-rate prospect
o: being able to follow it up for all time.
Nor will tho glory OF the shorthorn fade for
many long day to come, notwithstanding
the abuse heaped upon him by interested
competitors, breeders OF other stock. This
wear we find them sold at public auction
and at private sale by the hundreds, sggre-
eating thousands, and, if We are not very
much mistaken, paying on the money in
vested in them better returns than ever be-
fore. Indeed the outlook for the future IS
highly gratifying not only rs to the demand
for, and value Of throughbredS, but also as
TO grades.

A Man Catches tho Pink Eye.

Petersburg Leader.
About a week ago one OF the horses
belonging to Hawerth x Dewhurst be-
came affected with pink eye" One OF
the drivers named Travella cared for
the horses and was up with the animal
all night. The horse died, and then a
swelling broke out on Travella's face.
His Jaw became greatly swollen. while
pains in his back were quite severe.
TO day he was still sufering.a and a rum
or grew current that he, too, had be-
come afflicted with pink eye" As
this was the first instance on record OF
where human being was reported OF
being affected with pink eye" a re-
porter called on Travella and found him
suffering with swollen and bealed face.
He complained OF acute pains, but did
not think it was pink eye. His legs
were free from pain, and he had no
soreness OF the ewes. Said Travella:
II was all right until the horse got
sick and died, and some OF the symp-
toms are similar, but l hardly believe
that is what troubles me"
There are others, however, who be-
lieve TravelIa is afflicted with the gen.
uine pink eye," and no doubt the
physicians will be called upon to dis
cuss the question OF the disease atfilct-
ing human being.

SELECTED MISCELLANY.

The fewer words, the better prayer.
On the day OF victory no WEAKNESS is
felt.
Solitude is the audience. chamber OF
God.
Those are the most honorable whoar
the most useful.
What has been unjustly gained can
not be justly kept.
Men, like bullets, go farthest when
they are smoothest.
The reproaches OF enemies should
quicken us to duty, and no. keep US
from it.
What we charitably forgive will be
recompensed as well as what We CHART
ably give.
The wisest man may be wiser to-day
THAI he was yesterday, and tomorrow
than he is to-day.
Blessedness consists in the accom-
plishment OF our desires, and in our hav-
ing only regular desires.
Ii every person would be half as good
as he expects his neighbor TO be, what a
heaven this world would be.
All errors spring up in the neighbor-
hood OF some truth; they grow round
about il, and for the most part derive
their strength from such contiguity.
Just rs soon as any conviction OF im-
pOrtant truth becomes central and vital
there comes the desire 20 utter it-a de-
sire which is immediate and irresistible
Sacrifice is gladness, service is JOY, when
such an idea becomes commanding
power.
The German proverb, al | rest,
rust, applies to many things, besides
the key. Ii water rests, it stagnates. II
the tree rests, it dies. for its winter state
is only ha!t-reSt. II the eye rests, it
grows dim and blind. Ii the lungs rest,
We cease TO breathe. Ii the heart rests,
We die.
The Chsrchman evidently regards the
life of the late President as not incom-
plete, though so sadly and suddenly
brought TO an end:
II it was Mr.. Garfeld's ambition to
build for himself wider lame than man
ever before gained, he succeeded.
Ii it was Mr.. Garfield's ambition TO
build in himself q kingly example Of
private and public virtues, he succeed
ed
Ii it was Mr.. Garheld's ambition to
serve his country in his life and IN his
death, he succeeded.
II it was Mr.. Garfeld's ambition to
die in such manner that all good men
may well envy him, he succeeded.
