DIR. LoRING's REPORT. WASHINGTON,
Dec. 19.-In his annual report to the
President the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture says: "The expenses of the attempt
to cultivate the tea plant in South Caro-
lima has been somewhat curtailed without
detriment to the experiment. One of the
experts (Saunders), who visited the tea
farm established in Summerville, S. c.,
reports that 1900 acres of land selected
for the experiment are most of them
covered by heavy forest ground, the soil
being poor, hungry sand, of a character to
support only the scantiest kind of vegeta-
ton. OF this about Is acres had been
cleared and was unde- primitive cultiva-
ton. On these acres operations were
commenced in January last Space was
prepared for sowing the seed and prepar-
alton made for covering plants, which,
when young, suffer severely on being ex-
posed to the sun. Plants were growing
well and contributed the entire tea crop
of the farm. Saunders reported that
With regard to the future prospects of
the enterprise, if continued in the line of
the present scheme and under the pres
ent system, it may be said there is not
much room for encouragement. The
poverty of soil and character of the eli
mate in which frosts sometimes occur,
seem to be unfavorable to the production
of strong, highly favored teas, as had al
ready been proved by the experiment in

REFORMSCHOOL SCANDAL.

Tt would be unfair in us to 1nslnuate
that the Milwaukee Sentinel was not SIN
cere in supposing that there were good
grounds for the charges that it brought
against the management ofthe Waukesha
Reform school, but at the same time far
play and disposition to do complete JUS
tice to all parties impel us to say that we
are fully confident that the recent lnyes-
tigation made by the Board OF Control
was thorough and prosecuted with the
intent to sift the whole matter to the bot
tom. The result reached by the Board,
namely, that the charges of cruelty and
scandalous management lad no founda-
ton in fact will.be generally accepted as
true by the people of the state who thus
far, certainly, have had no reason to have
their confidence shaken in the ability
and integrity of the members OF the

The lecturer declared the greatest per-
il to the prisoner was in his passage from
the courtroom to the prison van, and
pointed out the danger that some desper-
ate man would stab the prisoner with a
dirk and escape without detection. 1t
was not thesprisoner alone who was on
trial. The question of capital punish
msnt was on trial. for be predicted should
Gliteau be hanged and a post-mortem ex-
animation prove him to have been insane
it would be almost the last case of capital
punishment in the country.
At the conclusion of this lecture, SEQ
vile was applauded and resolution
adopted expressing sympathy with the
family of the prisoner, and compliment
ing Scoville on the management of the
cise.

SCOVILLE ON THE ROSTRUM.

George Scoville, brother-in-law and
counsel for Guiteau has appeared at the
rostrum having lectured at Washington
last Wednesday night on "The Guiteau
Case" He complained that the press
had not given the force and considera-
ton to the defense of Guiteau that ought
to have been given. That the pulpit had
also preiudiced the case was another
his grievances. Scoville condemned the
ministers for not calling upon Guiteau IN
ais cell while considering him sane, and
endeavoring to have him repent and turn
to God.
Nineteen-twentieths of the letters re-
ceived by Guiteau were simple threats
against his life, and not more than two
or three breathed Christian spirit.

THE GUITEAU CASE.

The Criminal court at Washington
opened Monday forenoon, and Guiteau
was escorted to his seat by the officers.
The announcement was Immediately
made of the deith of Juryman Hobbs
wife, and the court adjourned until We'd
nesday.
Scoville is reported as saying that he
thinks Guiteau is spelling his case as far
as he can. Guiteau does not seem to be
able to see what is to come from the ques.
tons Scoville asks witnesses, anu, when
Scoville lays the fondation for contradict
ing witness, Guiteau does positive injury
to himself and spoils the whole thing by
correcting the witness On the spot and
putting him on his guard. This has
been the case in regard to the witness
Shaw, for example. Scoville says in
reference to Mrs. Dunmire that he can
prove she said at the time of her divorce
to DR.. Bowker, of New York, that she
thought she ought to remain with Guiteau,
as she believed he was insane and needed
some one to care for him.
Among lawyers here there is an impress
sion that the death of Juror Hobbs wife
and his absence to attend the funeral will
eventuate in new trial for Guiteau.
While counsel on both sides consented
that Hobbs should attend the funeral, the
idea is, that the defense will, if Unnecessary,
make use oft in the effort to get new
trial, provided the present trial ends in
conviction. The court is DESTROYS of
according the defence every right and
every privilege and taking abundant
precaution ag ainst the possibility of hang
ing man not mentally responsible.
Some lawyers think this precaution in
the event that it is claimed that Juror
Hobbs communication and conversation
influenced his mind, and provided, of
course that the verdict be one of guilty,
will probably induce the court to grant
new trial.
Guiteau, when he was leaving the court
room, to-day, stopped at the district attor-
news desk and said "Corkhill, I have
had model taken from my head for a
bust. will be great man yet, Corkhill +,
if you let me alone.'

The latest thing at Long Branch is
an adventure of Miss Verona Jarbeau,
whom you will remember as the hero
inc of opera-bouffe at McVicker's. A
large party were sitting after dinner on
the wide piazza of John Hoey's mag

Miss Jarbeau driving about the grounds
in an elegant turnout. She wore a love
ly lace dress; her pink silk stockings
peeped from out her skirts; in short,
she was picture of ease, beauty, and
taste. But how did she got into the
grounds, and why was she driving
about as if they belonged to her. The
guests asked these questions of the host
es and of each other, and at last Mrs.
Hoey touched the bell and said:
