The Guiteau Trial.

WASHINGTON, December 2s.--Guiteau
came into the court room this morn
ing looking paler than usual. He COM
planned he had not slept well. Last
evening man was placed in cell
near his, who was suffering by the ex-
cesslve use of morphine, aud during
the whole night his shrieks rang
through the Jail. Gulteau was annoy
ed and asked what was the occasion for
such riot. The keeper replied, We've
got crazy man on our hand tonight" J"
"Well,'' said Guiteau, "why don't
you choke him and make him keep
quiet. and not let respectable people be
disturbed in this way by 4 miserable
lunatic.'
DIR. M'DoNALp
again took the stand this morning and
was cross examined by Scovllle.
Witness was asked what he meant
yesterday by saying, 81 think he (pris-
oner) has been playing part in court,
and replied: Il believe he has been
felgmng what he believes to be insani.
ty. not really insanity.
Allusion was made to the axe Incl.
dent when Guiteau commented con.
temptuously. "Oh, nonsense. That
axe story is the merest fiction. It's rub
blsh," and shortly atterward, Doctor,
jus. tell us something about Abraham
and We will let you go.-
DIR. RANDOLPH BARKsDALE
Superintendent of the Central Lunatic
Asylum near Richmond, Va, visited
the prisoner at the jail. He had also
closely observed him in court. and from
his personal examination and observa-
ton was of the opinion he was sane.
Witness also testified he believed
Guiteau,bad been feigning IN court.
DIR. JOHN H. c0LLENDER,
Of Nashville, Superintendent of the
Tennessee State Asylum for Insane.
had given special attention to the study
OF INSANITY the past twelve years. He
had seen about 10000 cases during his
connection with the Tennessee ASYLUM.
The witness visited the prisoner in-the
Jail, and also closely observed the pris-
ouer in court, and believed him per.
tactly sane.

CoSul0al Relations.

We always thought drunkenesss was
the result of a bad habit sometimes
assisted by inherited. tendencies but
the Sage of the Kirksv:lle Democrat
has exploded that idea. He says
whisky drinking is the result OF the
general cosmical relations of the PLAN
cts and the perturbations gong on in
the Stellar world. So, So! When the
philosopher takes his morning nip" or
we see him "or any other man" com.
ing out Of some back room, with 4 ten
der. watery expression in his right eye,
wiping his mouth gently on the back of
his hand, We may at once conclude,
without looking at an almanac, that
Mars or Jupiter or Venus have been
comered by some one of the other
planets, and that perturbation has
taken place, and the cosmical relations
been disturbed.

T1E xGw YEAR.

With tomorrow, the old year will
close and 1881 will be reckoned
among the the things Of the past. We
will have entered upon the new year
with our new schemes and new seso-
lutions. How many of us can look
back upon the year just closing without
regrets-wlthout a feeling that We have
made mistakes. and how many of us
will profit by those mistakes. The in
dividual who does not learn by the ex-
perience Of the past is not likely to be
come very wise. So there is ample
reason for new schemes and new reso-
iutions. In the struggle for money, in.
fluence, and position, indeed all that
make up the great whole for which the
majority Of people seem to think life
worth living, jealousies and unreason-
able prejudices arise, which if viewed
from the stand point Of justice and
common sense would appear ridicu-
lous. This is good time to glance over
all these things and make amends by a
more reasonable, and wise course, for
the year to come. The clashing Of in
terests attimes seems to be a necessi-
ty, but is it not better to throw aside
the prejudices and habits which these
opposit interests SCENE to create, than
to foster and nurse them. Suppose We
can't always have osu own way, sup
pose some QUE else is succeeding a lit
tie better than we, is that a sufficient
cause for US to attempt to injure them,
or is it honest or manly to pursue such
course! Did a man ever succeed in
building up a business by abuse of a
competitor! There is room enough
in this world for all, and little less
Welding to the spirit of malice
would be strong evidence Of improve
ment among the people, especially
those who like to be called leaders and
teachers. There is no standing still
for long at time. Each year we are
growing better or worse, not only as
individuals but as communities and ma
tons, and the question is, shall we be
able to accomplish more good and
commit fewer mistakes during the year
1882 than we did during the year 1881.
Shall we become better or worse!
We do not, like some, prefer to believe
that the world is growing worse, but
We believe it is growing better, We be-
lieve the people as a vhole are wiser
and better now than they were a hun
dred years ago. Wishing the readers Of
the GRAPHIC and everybody else hap
py New Year, We make our bow and
enter upon the year 1882 with renewed
hope and stronger faith.

Not long ago a well known barrister
was concerned in 4 case where the
question involved was as 10 the mental
condition of the testat1ix. The witness
under examination, herself an aged
lady, had testified to finding her friend
failing, childish, and that when she
told her something she looked as
though she did not understand. Coun-
sci, cross-examining, tried to get her to
describe this look, but she did not
succeed very well in doing SO. At last
getting little impatient, he asked.
"Well, how did she look2 Did she
