GUITEAU's CRIME DEFINED.
An Indianian Who Holds Him
Guilty of High Treason.
Indianapolis Sentinel.

A person attempting to kill man
who is President Of the United States,
according to the Constitution OF the
United States, is not guilty of high trea-
son but person assaulting man with
intent to kill because be is President of
the United States is considered crmi-
nal guilty Of high treason. even though
it is not expressly declared In the Con
stituticn of the United States.
For high treason. according to it's ma
ture and common acceptation, is en- at
tack directly against legitimate executive
authority. threatening i,s very existence
and, attacking the fundamental organizes
ton Of the Government. According to
The Constitution of the United States,
executive power of the United States is
vested in the person lesitlmately CHOSEN
as its President; therefore, an assault
with intent to kill the President, because
he is President, is an attack ON the exc.
cutive power OF the Government of the
United States itself. threatening it's fun.
damental organ zalion, and consequently
an act of high treason under the penalty
of high treason, and punishable as such
The circumstance that such an act j.
not explicitly mentioned in the Consti
tuiion of the United States does not dis
prove what We have said; because an &C

Consequently Guiteau declaring that b
made the assault on Garfield for NJ
other reason than that he was Presiden
OF the Unired States, is guilty OF higl

Besides, the Government OF the Uni

Youths COMPANION.

An amusing story is told of little

we're in the habit OF hearing-at such
times-the hearty "Amen" break forth

Does the World Miss Any Ono?

Not long The best ami most useful
of US will soon he forgotten Those
who to-day are filing place in the
worlds regari will pass away from the
remembrance OF men in few months,
or at farlhes', in few years, after the
grave has closed upon their remains.
We are shedding tears above new
made grave, aud wildly crying out Id
our grief thai our loss is irreparable;
yet in short time the tendrils OF love
have entwined themselves around other
supports, and we cease to miss the loved
one that is gone. ar
So passes the world. But there are
those. nevertheless; To- whom loss by
death is beyond repair. There are men
from whose memories no woman's smile
can chase recollections OF the sweet
face that has given up all its beauty At
deaths icy touch. There are women
whose pligh,ed faith extends beyond
the grave, and drives away as profane
those who would entice them from the
worship of their buried loves.
Such loyalty, however, is hidden away
from the public gaze. The world sweeps
on around them and cares not to look
in upon this unobtrnding grief. It
carves line and raises stone over the
dead and hsstans away to do homage to
the living. II cries out weepingly, s.ls

A legal way present wrote subscrip-

to pay the several sums set opposite to
our several names for the purpose OF
purchasing Bro Brown a pew pair o.
pantaloons Several Of the lawyers
put down sums ranging from so cents to
10 cents. The paper was presented to
Lincoln, who sat opposite tue rear Of
the advocate, who bending over in ges.
ticulation, made quite an exposure. Lin.
coin took out mis- pencil and wrote upon
the paper: II have nothing to contrib

roared with laughter; the Judge asked
to see the paper, when he, too, in turr
had to roar. All this time the uncon.

Keeping Children at Home.
