The extraordinary address which Guiteau at
tempted to read TO the Court, yesterday, is
printed elsewhere. 1t expresses, or pretends
TO express, the most mOnstrOus pride in his act,
calls for contributions for his defence from the
men whom that act has benefited, and de-
mands that the newspapers shall cease to revile
the chosen instrument of the Deity. These
are but faint indications of the extravagances
and blasphemies of this paper.
That picturesque monster, King Thebaw, of
Burmah, must be in poor state of health, if
the old rule of "the devil was sick, the devil
a monk would be-" has any modern applica-
ton. King Thebaw is importing Italians, APP
parently of professional qualifications, with a
view to building can enormous chapel on the
model of st. Peters at Rome" What his Maj
esty wants with such an edifce is not very
clear. The fact that he butchered and buried
alive several hundred of Lis relatives
when he came to the throne, to make
a Burmese holiday and assure himself against
conspiracies, suggests the possibility that he
means to introduce novelties in State archi-
lecture like those recently devised by his
royal brother, the King of Ashantee This
potentate is reported to be in the habit of
killing hundred or two of his subjects at a
time, in order to use their blood in the mortar
for the State buildings, and King Thebaw may
have some similarly neat and artistic notion to
put into USE Little incidents like these will,
possibly, induce the American citizen to be-
think himself that there may be, after ALL
worse things in official architecture than Mul-
let's worst and widest.

Mrs. Catherine Coffin, Abo1tionist.

Another parsonage, who in the days Of abolition
ist zeal ard proslaverv prejudice was active IN
operating the 81 Underground Railway, has recent
" died in Ohio. The Cincinnati Commercial gives
the following sketch Of the life Of Mrs Catherine
Coffin
II will be recalled by many that she was the wife
of Levi Coffin, the manager of the II Underground
Railway, and enc of the earliest and most active
of the aboGtiOnists, when it was rs much as ones
worldly possessions and ones life was worth to
work in any way for the freedom OF the slaves.
Mrs Coffin born of Quaker parents in 1903,
near New Gardiner, n C., but it was in Hopeyille,
of the same State, that she was married to Levi
Coffin, on the 2Sth of October, 1921 About two
years afterward this couple moved to Newport,
Wayne county, Ind. where Levi Collin cOmmenc-
ed business as country merchant There also he
began the management Of the Underground Rail
way, and made his house the refuge for runaway
and destitute slaves These were alWay S hospita-
bly, received and generously treated, and sent on
their way 10 a free State, never empty handed.
His WIFE who received the name Of Aunt Katy,
always seconded her husband in his efforts to be
friend this generally untrlended race, and some
times her woman's wit and quickness served her
well. She could elude the vigilance of the search
ing officers of the law with straegies that by their
unexpectedness and her cool manner Of carrying
them out made them successful when all other
means would have failed She sent one escaping
colored woman out of the front door, yelled and
dressed in gorgeous attire, in the very face of her
former master waiting for the marshal to search
the house She used to hide the girls between the
mattresses, and stand cutting out dress on the
made up bed when the officers would come to
search the house. She always spoke mildly to
these men, and treated them so politely that thay
frequently thought she did not sympathize with
her husbands views about aiding the tugltives to
escape In 1917, to take charge in this city of the
business of manufacturing Southern goods by free
labor Levi Coffin and his wife removed to Cincn-
natl. They still continued without interruption
the management of the Underground Railroad and
their other labors in the abolition movement. In
1877 Levi Coffin died since that time Mrs. Coffin
has lived on Spring street, in Avondale, where, uu
til her death she was faithfully attended by the
colored woman, Mary Ann Green. She has had
near her her son Jessee, and during the two years
of 1879 and 1880 she had also enjoyed the society
of her other son, Henry W, and his family, but
they at that time moved to Washington. Mrs
Coffin was to the last bright cheerful woman,
endowed with much conversational power and
sense Of the witty and humorous, and filled as was
her mind with stirring "reminiscences of the past,
she was entertaining and instructive to all eager
listeners Until last October she drove to meetin.

The Lobster Business.

From The Lobster at Home an illustrated ar
tlcle by W. H Bishop. i'll Scribner for June, we
quote the following:
"The factory opens at one end on the wharf,
close to the water. Two men bril- in the squirn
ing loads on a stretcher and dump the mass into
the coppers for boiling. At intervals the covers
are hoisted by ropes and pulleys, and dense clouds
OF steam arise, through which we catch vistas of
men, women and children at work Two men ap-
proach the coppers with stretcher and scoop-nets
and they throw rapid scoopfuls, done to scarlet
backward over their shoulders. The scarlet hue is
seen in all quarters-On the steamng stretcher, in
the great heaps on the tables, i'll scattered ndyd-
uals on the oor in large pile of shells and refuse
through the open door, and in an OK cart load
of the refuse, farther off, which is being taken
away for use as fertilizer The boiled lobster is
separated long tables Tito his constituent parts
with a punch. A functionary called a cracker
frees that of the claws by a couple of deft cuts
wi tn ceaver, and the connecting arms are passed
to be picked out with fork by the girls. In an
other department. the meat is placed in the cans
The first girl puts in roughly a suitable selection
of the several parts. The next weighs it, and adds
or subtracts enough to complete the exact amount
desired Zone or two pounds) The next forces
down the contents with stamp invented express
ly for the purpose. The next puts on tin cover
with blows of little hammer. Then tray is rap
idly filled with the cans and they are carried to
the soderers, who seal them tightly except for
minute openings in the covers, and put them in
another tray which, by means of pulley tackle,
is then plunged in bath caldrons in order that the
cans may be boiled till the air is expelled from
their contents through the minute openings. Then
they are sealed up and boiled again for several
hours, when the process of cooking is complete"

The Dexter mansion, Beverly Farms, was built
quarter of century ago, by Franklin Dexter
son of Hon. Samuel Dexter, appointed by Presi-
dent Adams Secretary of War in 1900 and of the
Treasury in 1901. 1t is one of the few stone resi-
dences on the coast. 1t is of the ancient Tudor
style of architecture. The material of which it is
built was all gathered in the immediate vicinity
and peculiarly is that in the collection, all
moss was left clinging to the stones as they were
selected; at least, this was attempted, and the re
suit was building with the appearance Of much
greater age than it really possessed 1t is situated
on tine enlnence, last above the sea- with a
beach below, and broad varied sea view, The
interior is quaint and cosey, and the whole has an
old-time air in strong contrast with most modern
built houses.
About a mile from the Dexter mansion is that
of George Gardner, built very recently. This is
one Of the most striking and tasteful estates Of
Beverly Farms. The house is built square for
room, and towers, dormer windows and verandas
relieve the monotony of the bare sides The estate
is complete in all It's arrangements for summer
luxury and comfort
At Jamaica Plain, a suburb of Boston Pine
bank the home of Edward n. Perkins, is one of
the finest. This estate was purchased, IS years
ago, by the grandfather Of the present owner and
each member Of the family, into whose hands it
has fallen, has improved it, The present house
was built to take the place of one destroyed by
fire in 1868 1t is Of brick, of two coors, red and
tawD, and the architecture is OF the old English
style. In shape, it is paralleogram, 60x5O The
surroundings are very beautiful, and the water
views of Jamaica pond delightful. Opposite, OF
the other side Of the pond, is the home Of Francis
Parkman an unpretentious house, but pervaded
by an atmosphere Of refined and elegant comfort
One OF the finest houses in Massachusetts, is that
of H. H. Hunnewell, in Wellesley There are
many mansions in the state more notable for arch
iteeture but few more in harmony with external
surroundings The site is admirably chosen with
reference to landscape ornamentation. The house
is two story, almost square, with wing upon one
side The surroundings and views from the house,
however form the chief attraction. This estate
has been converted by the owner, through gen
erous outlay, from an ordinary country homestead
into one Of the most picturesque to be found, The
pages descriptive of New England homes contain
many other specimens, in Newporr, and at other
points II different states which space here torbds
notice Of at this time The work from which the
above are taken thus shows that the New England
portion of the country is not behind her siste
states IN tie manifestation Of aesthetic taste in
home life and surroundings, and that that culture
and refinement which delights in beautifying
through art, and enhancing the beauties Of nature
by utilizing and adding to them is not wanting in
this most ancient corner Of the republic

ROSE TERRY COOKE.


In summer time how fair it showed!
My garden by the village road,
Where fiery stalks of blossom glowed,
And roses softly blushed;
With azure spires, and garlands white,
Pale heliotrope, the suns delight.
And odors that perfumed the night
Where'er the south wind rushed.
The solemn purple pansies stood,
Gay tulips red with floral blood,
And wild things fresh from field and wood
Alive with dainty grace.
Deep heaven blue bells of columbine,
The darkly mystic passion-vine,
And clematis, that loves to twine,
Bedecked that happy place.
Beneath the strong unclouded blaze
OF long and tervent summer days
Their colors smote the passing gaze,
And dazzled every eye.
Their cups of scented honey dew
Charmed all the bees that DER them few.
And butterflies of radiant hue
Paused as they floated by.
Now falls IA cloud of sailing snow,
The bitter winds of winter blow,
No blossom dares its cup TO show
Earth folds them in her breast
A shroud of white, virgin pail,
Is slowly, softly, hiding all;
In vain shall apy sweet wind call
To break their silent rest
Ny garden is a vanished dream,
Dead in the waning moons cold beam,
Clear icicles above it CLEAN
And yeti know not how
My flowers Will hear the dropping rain
When Spring reneweth hill and plain,
And then it shall be mine again;
1t is Gods garden now.

A New Orleans correspondent of the
New York Sun advocates the raising of
hay in Louisiana for the northwestern
market, and believes it could be made to
pay better than cotton. Bermuda grass
yields from five to seven tons per acre
there, he says, and timothy should yield
at least three tons, which would exceed
the yield in Pennsylvania, and could be
raised and harvested for one half the retail
price in the latter state.

The farmers Of Maine and many other
parts of New England, have not yet been
driven to adopt a system Of raising forage
crops as speciality, as have some ofus in
Massachusetts, but we cannot see why a
double crop should not be just as desira-
bic for them as for us nor why one can
afford to let an acre Of land in Maine lie
idle half the growing season, any more
than in Massachusetts. Idleness begets
mischief not alone among the sons Of men.
Land that is not producing valuable crops,
is generally growing weeds that are often
worse then useless. n. E. Farmer.

About Ref'undlng.

The Journal forgot to tell its readers that Dem
ocratic Congress passed bill retunding the six
and five per cent. bonds at per cent and that it
is the veto of a Republican President that has
taken one half OF one per cent yearly on the whole
500 900 900 ont of the peoples pocket and put it
into that OF the bondholders. Portland Argus.
The Argus "tergets." President Hayes did not
object to funding bill provided it should cover
simply the ground suggested by the Argus. WHAT
he did object to was clause outside of these pro-
Visions which compelled banks to take 200 mil
lions OF the bonds or withdraw their circulation,
because he believed this provision would contract
the currency and defeat refunding. Besides, Pres
ident Garheld's plan of simply extending the bonds
at 81 per cent. and making them pay able at the
pleasure of the government without expense to
the treasury is in the judgment of many people,
as favorable to the nation as the plan of the fund
ing bill would have been could it have been made
success, for this bill contemplated the issuing of
per cent. bonds, not one dollar of which could
be paid for ten years, and for the negotiation of
these bonds allowed a quarter of one per cent.
from the treasury. All of these bonds are at the
disposition Of Congress when it shall meet next
Dec, for retunding on the Argus plan, but we ven
ture to say that not ten Democrats in either
branch will favor it then. Lewiston Journal.
