Where Landlords ( Ome From.

The Green Mountain State is estab- fishing a claim to monopoly of hotel men. A majority of the leading hotel owners and managers in this country either were born or have lived within twenty five miles of Bellows Falls, Vt. The Lelands came from Chester, and the Willards from West minister, re- spectively fourteen and four miles from that town. Paran Stevens, who made &, 900, COG in the hotel business, was 8 native of Claremont, twenty miles away. A former and one of the present pro- prietors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Messrs. Griswold and Hitchcock, came from Bellows Falls. So did David A. Gage, formerly of the Fremont, Sher- man and Grand Pacific, of Chicago. Among others who came from that town or it's vicinity arc the late 0. O.. Waite of the Brevoort, the late H. L.. Mitchell of the Hoffman and Bruns- wick, General H. B. Darling of the Fifth Avenue, Joseph Briggs of the Braudreth, Uriah Welch of the St. Nicholas, E. E. Merrifeld of the Cont. mental, and E. A. Gilson of the West minister Hotel, New York; besides 6 long list of hotel men of prominence il Chicago, Boston, St. Louis and othe, places.

CHARACTER OF THE ASSASSIN.
A Few Words About Cranky" Men
 in General.

From the volume of evidence which comes to us from all parts of the coun- try in reference to the recent attempt to assassinate the President, says the New York Herald, it Is easy to form an ex- act idea of the purpose and meaning of the crime. In the first place the char acter of the assassin himself is drawn with great fidelity by hundred wit nesses. He has not lived an idle or an obscure life. We hear of him in many places and under fantas tic circumstances. Years ago his character was so much of Q moral deformlty that the father who begot him and other members of the family combined to give the world warn- ing of his disposition. With certain amount of superficial glibness, added to towering vanity and self conceit, he seems to be utterly dead to all moral and social sentiment. With queer whimsical fancy for studying abstruse problems of theology, pondering over Spirltualism and the second coming of Christ, he drifted into the vagaries of politics. We find him in religion adopt ing the grossest vul arity of the "Onei- da Community" the fundamental prin- ciple of whose teaching is the absence of respect for the sacred character of woman. We find him shifting about in an aimless, foolish way among theoreii- cal politicians who believe that the world cad be changed and the most difficult problems of social life solved by conven- tions and resolutions.
 Men of this character are frequently met In daily life. Generally we hear of them in insane asylums. There is Iu l. where we may not see a second Messiah, an Emperor of China, @ successor of Napoleon or an Angel Gabriel. But there are men of this class like Guiteau, who receive more indulgence at the hands of the world and are allowed to go at large. They become objects of contempt or commiseration. They lob by around legislative chambers or "practice law" before police magis- trates, or attend strange conventions of hare bralned people for the purpose of gratifying their vanity, or traverse coun- try villages to deliver lectures. Some- times they attach themselves to men in public life, in the hope of worrying themselves into office.
 In the case of Guiteau the absence of all moral responsibility added to the homicidal mania made him dangerous character. He seems to have been sev- eral times in the hands of the police for embezzlement and obtaining money under false pretences, but never before, SD far as we can learn, for any deed of violence. Guiteau belongs to the acci- dents of human nature and might be called monstrosity, like the double- headed calf, or the skeleton, or dwarf, whom an enterprising snowman pre- sents at country fairs. His case appears to be phenomenal development of 8 criminal nature, with this sad result that it endeavored to compass the death of the President. The attempt to ele- vate Guiteau into the embodiment of 0 political inciple, or even the express sion of political disappointment, is a | mistake.

WOmen's WrOngs.s

In recent address in Iowa, Mrs. Lucy Stone said :: "Men at the South 8 few years ago, colored men, were SUD- posed to be deterred from voting from fear of violence. The United States Government sent it's agents to make official inquiry and see that every black man had his right to vote. But the Uni ted States Government itself and each State teGovernment are the intimidating power to prevent the suffrage of women. They do it according to law, but in vio- latlon of the fundamental principle and theory of our Government. I once asked an apologist for slavery, Would you like to be slave 9 To which he replied, If were nigger, shouldn't care So in the case of women. Men who would fight to the death for their political rights think it no harm to dis franchise women."

THE ASSASSINATION.
The Shooting of President Garneld
 at Washington.

Washington and the country were startled on Saturday morning by a re- port that the President of the United States had been assassinated. The President was in the Pennsylvania de- pot. on his way to Long Branch, where he proposed to spend a few days pre- yious to his New England visit, and was about entering the ladies' waiting room when he was approached by an as- sass1n who fired two shots at .h1lnreu h1lnre 110isG a6ovA 'the hip, under the left arm, and one just above the heart. The Presi- dent at the time was surrounded by most of the members of the Cabinet. Secretary Blaine stood at his immediate left. The assassin approached from be- hind and stood within eighteen inches of the President when he fired, and just behind him.
 The President was conveyed to the Executive Mansion under a strong es- cort of Metropolitan police Two com panies of regulars from the Washington barracks were ordered out to preserve quiet. Cheat excitement prevailed and the streets were thronged with anx- ious inquirers, eager to learn the con- dition of the President.
 The pistol with which the firing was done is California weapon, with an ex- tremely heavy calibre, better known as "Bulldozer.
 The name of the assassin, as written by himself, is Charles Gitteau, and he says he is an attorney -at-law in Chi cago. The Star says in an extra that when the assassin was arrested he said
 'sI did it and want to be arrested. I am a Stalwart, and Arthur is President now. I have letter here that I want you to give to Gen. Sherman. It will explain everything. Take me to the police station."
 Charles Gitteau, the would-be assassin, is foreigner by birth. He has been a very persistent applicant for consular position. He has haunted the Execu tive Mansion for several weeks, and his disappointment in not getting what he wanted led to temporary alteration of mind. .... ..,.......
 THE NEWS SENT TO EUROPE.
 The following has been forw arded by cable
 DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
 WASHINGTON, July 2, 1881. Jan,es Russell Lo,oeu, Minister, etc., London:
 The President of the United States was shot this morning by an assassin named Charles Gitteau. The weapon was large-sized revolver. The Presi- dent has just reached the Balti- more and Potomac station at about twenty minutes past nine, intend ing with portion of his Cabinet to leave on the limited express for New York. l rode in the carriage with him from the Executive Mansion, and was walking by his side when he was shot. The assassin was immediately ar- rested, and the President was conveyed to private room in the station building, and surgical aid at once summoned. He has now, at twenty minutes past ten, been removed to the Executive Mansion. The surgeons on consultation regard his wounds as very serious, though not necessarily fatal.

ScIfishness and Education.
From The London Spectator.

From The London Spectator.
The strengthening of seIhshness by
education is Enthusiastically visable on
4h9 pocuniary side of life. Not to
mention criminal records, which in all
countries show that with education
violent crime decreases, but pecunlary
offences become more numerous, there
rs no doubt among observers that the
lads from the schools are more greedy
OF money than those Of a previous gen,
eration, more careful Of minute pecu-
uiary rights, less ready to give up
everything,-less generous, in fact
;han the ignorant, only the word is a
little too big. Slightly instructed
poverty, with just knowledge enough
10 see clearly the value of money, con-
tracts readily a faint of sordidness
wanting to recklessness and ignorance.
A useful quality has, in truth, been
acquired; while perception of its
best use, or rather of the limit Of its
use, has not. 1t is from this arises The
