Guiteau's Farce.

WASHINGTON. December "a
Colonel Reed, Scoville and j. w
Guiteau were in consultation half ar
hour before the opening Of the court
Dr. Stearns took the stand, and SEQ
vile resumed the cross examination
relative to the various forms Of insan
| ity. Witness stated that the faculty
Of memory generally first showed i'm
pairment in most all forms of insan-
ity. Scoville asked DO you agree
with the last witness, that insanity al
ways exhibits some outward mani
festation of diseased life"
Judge Porter objected to this form Of
question and insisted that the defense
observe the same rule the prosecution
had adhered to, of letting each wit
ness testify to what he knew and not
found an agument upon the evidence
of another.
Guiteau-"You are getting excited
Porter"
Scoville: Il must say that Judge
Porter can makemore ofnothiug than
any man l ever met" After further
questions relating to brain diseases,
Scoville asked, us it true that
such disease can always be detected
by an examination Of that organ?" An
swer;-"I can only answer that there
has been cases Of brain illness, where,
upon examination after death, no
lesion ofthe brain was detected. The
witness was about to make further
observations just as Scoville proposed
a question. Judge Porter to wit
neSs;-"Go on, Doctor, and finish your
answer"
Scoville-"Well, hold on a minute.
We would like to know who is con-
Quoting this examination, you or ?"
Porter-"I assume the court is con-
ductii the trial, and to the court 1
appeal for the enforcementofthe rules
of practice"

The opinions of Lieutenant Schwat-
ka regarding tho fate of the Arctic
exploring steamer Jeanette and the
rescue of two.thirds of her crew are
perhaps erlitled to no more considera-
tion, than would be accorded TO the
views of any other intelligent and ell
ucated gentleman who has had large
experience in the bleak regions of the
higher latitudes, but the interview
received by telegraph and printed to-
day from that noted parsonage will be
read with interest by all who desire
to know more about those long missing
navigators. The sledge journey made
by Lieutenant Schwatka and his
party, from the head waters of BafiDs
Bay to the spot where Sir John
Franklin's last survivors laid down
their lives, has placed that officers
name among the greatest heroes Of the
world. The account of his experiences
while on that long and dreary explor-
ing expedition is one of the most
wonderful aud romantic stories ever
published, and entities Schwatka to all
the bonors bestowed upon him by his
countrymen, as well as by all civilized
people Of other lands.

y
That Pay.
Gan Antonio Express.l
It is said-and we believe truly
that many of the shows that have ap-
peared in our city during the past
few months have gone away losers
Many of them are unable to explain
the reason of this, for the people Of
San Antonio are liberal aud generous
patrons of all that tends to amuse or
even interest them. But they forget
the old and now trite truism, "a touch
of nature makes the whole world
akin, and that a continual striving for
effect and climaxes that will arouse the
audiences to a moments applause and
enthusiasm for the sole purpose
Of exhibiting the specially OF the
star, has become too stale and too
common in this city to please an aver
sge audience. We are tired and
weary Of the highly colored sensa-
tionsl, and Of the olap-trap appeal to
that morbid taste that requires blood,
thunder and exaggeration. We are
disgusted with the intricate plot, the
william and the narrowing death scene,
while the dagger and even the poison
have lost their charms, and for us,
we fear forever.
What we do want is a play full Of
pathos, pastoral fun, homelike. bub-
bling over with touches OF ordinary,
everyday human nature and filed
with genuine human feeling. An
everyday story, not hum-drum and
common place, but invested with all
the chsrm that a skillful dramitiza-
tion can throw over it; something that
does not require imagination or close
attention, hut play, which from its
very simplicity we can appreciate and
understand.

SCHwATKA'S VIEWS
On the Loss Ofthe Arctic ExpIOr-
ing Steamer Jeanette.

SAN FRANCISCO, December PA
Portland dispatch says the 0regonian
will publish an interview with Lieu.
tenant SChwatka regarding the cruise
Of the Jeanette. He believed she
wintered at the Srakhana Islands OF
near by on the Siberian coast, passing
en- route south Of Wrangle Land which
would account for no trail of her be-
ing found by Corwin or Rodgers.
Her previous discoveries cannot be in
ferred from her position when lost, but
they may be extensive and.interesting.
DeLong did not follow the
axis Of the warm Japanese
current north of Behring's Strait,
which should be done before that ay.
enue is condemned as impracticable.
AS to the return of the party, the
route suggested by Kennon seems the
most sensible, and probably his in
structions to make the Northeast pas
sage a secondary consideration, led
De Long to make no attempt to reach
the pole in the direction of the Parry
Archipelago. His retreat in the boats
is one Of the most mastery managed
escapes in the history of abandoned
polar vessels. Schwatka puts
no faith in the report that
the Russians withheld information
which concerned the Jeanette. The
result Of the expedition is severe
contradiction Of the belief that a
good polar route can be found by fol-
lowing the channels through the ice
Of the great Siberian river and ocean
currents, and leaves but little doubt
as to the fate of the lost American
whalers, Vigilant and Mount Wolfe
stein, which is as terrible as imagina-
ton would conceive. Should the loss
Of the Jeanette be coupled with that
of the English exploring yacht
Ezra, under Leigh Smith, this tenden
cy Of the advocates Of Arcticexplora-
tiOn will be looked on with more
favor or more hazard, but probably
more successful habits Of aerial navi-
cation. The Jeannette's fate will
also tend to discourage the proposed
commerce to the mouth Of the Lena
River. He thinks the disaster will
tend to forward the idea of using a
ship merely to carry the expeditions
to their proper starting points, and
serve as a secondary basis of supply.

New YORK, December 24.-l1 am.
The Produce Exchange having ad.
journed over Tor to- day and Christmas,
there is no regular trading. A few
outside sales of meat show a trife
stronger market.
The stock market opened ball
higher than yesterdays closing,
Richmond & Danville, Toledo & Del
phos and Burlington showing the most
improvement. In the early dealings
the market declined'l to 2, Memphis
& Charleston, Union Pacific, Western
Union and Northern Pacific preferred
being most prominent in the down
ward movement.
1t was believed in some quarters
last evening that the bear movement
was about over, but the course Of the
market this morning does not sustain
the belief. Gould is reported as say
ing that there can be no bull market
until certain inflated stocks are
brought down to their proper level.
The Gould following are still bearish,
and the opinion at this writing is that
prices viii be further depressed pre-
paratory to a bull movement in Janu.

d Nashville has made an important
