GUITEAU HAS A SCRIMMAGE WITH HIS
KEEPERS. About 4: 80 last Wednesd y
morning, the guard noticed that Guiteau
was apparently pairing his nails. Think
ing that he might have made some prep
arations to hang himself, he guard went
in and asked what he had been doing.
Guiteau replied Nothing, nothing.
Noticing the knife. he asked what he was
doing with It, and the prisoner replied,
- So help me God. have none," The
guard then said, Drop it," in a COM
handing tone. when Guiteau jumped up
and made "a cut, but fortunately the guard
threw his head back, and the knife cut the
as cat. The guard pulled his revolver
out. but did not cock it, and Guiteau tn" n
tusseled for its possession. exclaiming
" Don't shoot me-" The guard cooked
the pistol. and Guiteau said, Give me nv
pistol" and inalIy got hold OF it, but not
Till it went off. The other guards by thi,
time appeared, and Guiteau was secured
They then searched for the knife, and see

So confident are the treasury officials
that flow of European gold will soon set
in to the United States that they have
begun to prepare for its reception. Over
four and half million of bullion have
been ordered taken from the vault OF the
assay office in New York to the mint at
Philadelphia. This bullion consists chiefly
of foreign coin that was assayed and melt
ed up into bars, and there is still some
for millions OF it at the assay Office and
about the same quantity at the mint so
that it was needed Tor purposes OF coinage.
The chief reason for its removal was to
give room for the next influx from Great
Britain, which must soon begin. The
coinage of gold, which was suspended
during July at Philadelphia, will be re-
sumed again this month, and about three
millions of eagles AMI half.eagles will be
struck off. Treasury Off ;ials say that the
shortage in the wheat crop will make no
apprecahle difference III the balance of
trade, which is fixed in our favor for the
present SO firmly rs to be indrphndent of
any single cause. The exports of pork,
provisions, live stock, cheese, petroleum
and c)tton5 will overbllance the loss in
wheat. The latest reports received in
dictate that the yield in Russia will he very
large, in England fair,and short in France.
Foreign gold is therefore expected in a
few weeks.

take liquid food and from day to day al
increased amount A swelling of th'
right parotid gland was developed how
ever and this was the rause of some alarm
though the doctors did not say that it was
dangerous The swelling in the neck is
that of the gland which is diseased in a
case of the mumps.
Some of tine outside doctors claimed
that this swelling was result of blood
poison and it seems that while it Is not an
indication Of malignant blood poison il

YORKTOWN The Yorktown centennial
will close the CclebrtJons of the events OF
the revolution that have from time to
time occurred, beginning with the Concord
and Lexington centennial, Taken alto
gether the Yorktown display will perhaps
exceed any of its predecessors. The
surrender of CORVALLIS on the 10Th of
October, 1881, was the real close of the
revolution. His army of 1850 was except
Clinton's in New York, the only great
force that the British had on American
soil. The Yorktown victory was com
bined triumph of American and French
arms, and it is with great pleasure that
the country will see Representatives Of the
French republic taking part in the cc'cbra
ton The glands y OF LlG,ye.te is among
the invited guests.

LONDON, Eng August s, 1881

LONDON. Eng August 8, 1881.
Prompt and terrible punishment has
fallen on the heads of the two cowardly
ruffians who lately attempted to blow up
the Liverpool Town Hall. MGralh, as
the worst criminal of the two, and the
chief agent of the organization which aims
at terrorizng Great Britain by means of
dynamite. has been sentenced to penal
servitude for life, while NJ Keviet is to
undergo similar Imprisonment for term
of fifteen years. The offonse of which
these men were guilty was that of at
tempted murder and Il design to damage
the public building in question, thereby
endangering the lives OF certain innocent
persons, AS nobody happened to be fatal
ly injured by the explosion, the prisoners
may think themselves lucky that they
were not standing their trial on the capita |
charge as it was, they owe their capture
to the admirable presence of mind and
courage displayed by the Liverpool police
men, and to their own miserable poltroon-
cry. Never was baser crime perpetuated
in more bungIng and more cowardly
fashion, and little pity can be felt for the
wretches who without thought were
ready to send their fellow creatures to an
awful death by an unexpected explosion
in the middle of populous city. Such
crimes as these of the Fenian "Skirmish-
ers" in England should be put down with
u strong hand, however paltry and con
temptible may be the men who are select
ed to carry out the designs of murder and
destruction concocted on the other side of
the Atlantic.
Mr.. Thomas John Hambley, charged
before the lord mayor on Monday with
assaulting two women in railway car
riage, would appear to be one of those
ferocious rutfians who, under the influence
of alcohol, are apt to behave themselves
as though possessed by demons. During
the return journey from South.end to
London of an excursionist party to which
he. Jane Daley, Emma EIderfeld, and
several other persons of both sexes be
longed he suddenly missed his watch
accused Mrs. Daley of having stolen it.
and forthwith proceeded to attack her in
the most brutal manner. Having torn
open he dress and pule out handful of
her hair by the roots. he insisted thlt she,
AS well as well as her companion, Mrs.
Elderfeld, should strip to the skin in order
