a The latest attraction in the Guteau trial
appeared in Court, on Monday, in the person of
DR.. spitzka, q horse-doctor, from New York, who
was put upon the stand as an expert to swear
to Guiteau's insanity. When they employ
horss-doctors for that purpose it is getting below
the dignity of a circus-to say nothing of allow
ing the witness to insult and abuse the lawyers
for asking proper questions.

UFFJOHNSON AND GENIAL GOLDSMITH.
From. BeigrGpSd


George ColmaR, the younger, was born abous
1862 In his Random Recoliections" he gives
some amusing sketches of his own life and of the
celebrities who came to his fathers house One OK
the first that be encountered was no less person
than Samuel johnson. Ii was az dinner plrty-
the first 10 which he had been admitted. lyon
entering the drawing-room, he and his father found
a very big gentleman, attired in rusty brown and
black wOrsted stockings seated upon fauteuil OF
rose-colored satin, from which he did not deign TO
rise ~ their entrance. During pause IN the con-
vorsstOn, my father took by the hand, and said.
Doctor johnson, this is little ColInan." Tie doc
tor bestowed slight ungraciOus glance upon me,
and continuing the rOtatOry movement Of his head,
renewed the conversation. Again there was pause;
again the anxious father, who had failed IN his first
effort, seized the opportunity of pushing his progeny
with This is my son, DR.. Johnson" The g.eat
mans contempt for me was now reused 70 wrath;
and knitting his brOws, he exclaimed IN voice OF
thunder e / see him, slr!' He then fell pack in
his faueuil rs il giving himself up 10 medl alton,
implying that he would not be further plagued
with an old fool or q young one.
Much moro pleasant had been his earlier expert
ences Of Goldsmith, whose comedy Of She stoops
TO Conquer his father, after many snubs and
delays had brought out ut COvent Garden. Goldy
used 10 amuse him aud pet him, and one day tho
little mischIeyons imp hit the poet such slap upon
the face that he left the mark Of his hngers there
for this naughtmess he was locked up In dark
room, from which, however, he was very soon re-
leased By the eoOd-natured doctor. who fOndled
him. ant so0thod his sObs, and performed coniuring
tricks to make him forget his disgrace.

Il STORY or THE EMPIRE.
From The CornlM.

From The CorJthM.
Deseryedly or not. there Is no profession, except
that Of exccutioner, to which so much repr0bation
attaches as to that of political infOfmer. Some
years ago II FrenchwomGn prayed for judicial
separation from her husband tie ground that she
had accidentally discovered him to be clerk ia the
Cabinet Nor" ofthe post-oice. lt was not alleged
that he had been an unkind husband; but his VIE
could not srmOunt the horror occasloned IN her by
learning that he earned his bread by opening and
copying letters addressed TO suspected persons
The curious part OF this affair was that the lady
had endeayored TO bring her action during the
Second Empire but had been stopped by superior
ORDER She tried to ny the country but was AZ
rested and plainly told that II she caused anv
scandal she would be- put into priv ate lunatic
asylum. After the Empire had fallen she came into
court with all her grievances and easily won her
sut. Meanwhile her husband had disappeared.
lie had probably changed his name and gone to live
in doleful retirement not daring TO show bis face ID
the haunts OF former friends.
Second Empire" tells strange story OF an unpun-
ished murder committed by a COrsesn moH,tdrd.
young Italian nobleman named Count Canerata
fell IN love- as 1t seems, with very lusrions LADY
Of the Imperia. Court; and, during a bell at the
Tuileries. he was foolish to slip note into her
nand The lady concealed her annoyance but
handed the note unopened TO the court chamber,
lain, requesting him TO caution the Count not to
repeat his offence, 10 might lead him into trouble.
The chamberlain, q puZZle-headed person, instead
OF dlschargng his errand in person, turned TO
COrsican spy who present at the ball disguised
as gentleman, and explaining what had happened,
ordered him to take the Count home and give him
"a severe lecture. few minutes later the COrsican
and the Count left the Tuleres together and dove
to the Counts house in the latteTs brougham, the
spy fercely abusing his companion all the way.
When they reached the Counts house the Corslcan
continued his Ievilings and gradually worked him
self up into mad passion The Count, getting ex-
asperated. ordered him out, imprudently adding. 1
shall know your face in future and shall unmask
you wherever you cross my path" Upon this the
spy drew a stiletto plunged it between the Counts
shoulders, and. leaving him dead on tho floor, ran
of TO tine Prefecture TO tell what he had done. NJ.
Pietr the elder was then Project of Police, and ia
rant IN egnva no or "A
could do under the circumstances, for If tho man
had been brought to trial the scandal would have
been immense. On the Oth6r hand, If the Count
had murdered the spy this crime would have Leen
hushed up too. Spies carry their lives in their
hands. and il they lose them no fuss is made.

Above their awful faces while they marched.
