How the Thermometer Stood.

When a Michigan avenue cal
reached Eighth street yesterday
morning, coming up, it contained
seven men, two women, boy and
dog. Six of the men seemed tc
know each other, and all at once
one of them remarked that it was
the coldest December day he ever
saw.
"My thermometer showed six
below when l left home," added q
second.
"And mine showed seven," put
in third.
Then it must be colder where
am" said the fourth, "for mine
marked eight"
ats colder than that" said the
fifth. "Mine marked full nine, and
it was sheltered at that"
~ expect" observed the sixth
man as he drew bis cap down over
his ears, "that got the full sweep
of the wind Mt my house. ! look
ed at my thermometer as / came
ont and saw that it marked ten be-
low"
There was a deep silence for a
moment. Then the seventh man
rose up, removed his overcoat and
mittens, and said:
"When left home my thermom-
eter stood at five below, and it
hasn't grown bit colder since
Now then, / want to And out
whether my thermometer lies, or
If It's me. You first man here,
how did you say yours stood?"
"Just FIVE" was the humble re-
ply, although he had previously |
put it at six.
"Nexti" =
about five," said the man who
had put it at seven.
Each one of the six settled on
the same answer, and when the
last had spoken, the stranger turn
ed to the boy and said:
"Bub, 1 do your folks have
I"
Eyes. sir, but father does all the
ying about, it and he's out of town
this week"
"If the thermometer shows Ave
degrees below zero III put on my
coat" said the man as he looked
down the aisle. "If it gets up to
six before we reach the City Hall
| shall take it upon me to raise the
Of this car to zero"
The six cast furtive glsnces at
each other and then began to chew
,traws and talk about the disgrace

CEN. Longstreet AZ Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 29.-Gen.
Longstreet arrived here to-day, after
a visit of several days at Washington
and New York, where he has met
President Arthur and Senator Conk-
ling, which probably gives rise TO the
rumor generally in circulation here
this evening to the effect that he is to
be rendered the portfolio of the navy,
and that Secretary Hunt Is to be re-
moved and favored with some other
appointment probably. Another ru-
NOR is that Gen. Longstreet will go
into the new cabinet as soon as the
Senate meets and has an opportunity
of confirming the nomination.
Longstreet made two calls upon
President Arthur while in Washing
ton, and after making the second visit
to the White House left for New York
where he had a conversation with
Senator Conkling.
Rumor has it that Malone is doing
heroic services in behalf of Longstreet,
who commanded division in the Con
federate army in Mahone's brigade.
Those two ex Confederate generals bave
kept up an unbroken chain of friendship
since the war closed and are to day great
admirers of each other.
II Longstreet is made Secretary oil the
Navy there will be quite scramble for
his office, and IN this way additona
strength will come to the anti Bourbon
party by appointing influential mer
whom Longstreet will doubtless name.

which had led her to believe him insane,
and told how the purpose to put him in
an asylum bad been considered In the
family. John W, Guiteau, the brother,
related his difficult experiences with the
prisoner and his final conviction that he
was insane, but admitted that in an ap-
plication for insurance on bis own life
he had said there was no insanity In the
family. He thought that the prisoner
was possessed of a demon and had at
some time in his life Voluntarily chosen
to follow evil rather than good and was
responsible for that choice. In every
approach to the topics of religion he ex-
hibited the same variation from common
sense that is the peculiarly of The pris-
oner, and proved, as far as another ex.
ample can, that this is the real family
trait. Guiteau interrupted several times
bat his Interruptions did not disturb the
Court. They may ultimately prove an
advantage to the prosecution; for he in
terrupts aptly, comments shrewdly and
unravels whole snarl sometimes with
a clear, explicit phrase which shows
that he is In full possession of his reason.
He gives practical demonstration against
the theory of the defence.
