will He Hang?

Guiteau has eaten his Christmas
dinner. His trial has been going
on since the 14th of November:
The prosecution continues to put
up experts to prove that he is not
insane. Guiteau has shifted his
ground somewhat of late. At the
beginning Of the trial the plea OF
insanity set up by his counsel as a
defense made him indignant and
savage. He says now that be is
not insane at present, but was on
the End of July. His rawlings in
open Court, which st first led many
to believe him insane, have lately
produced the opposite effect. For
a short while he played his part
very adroitly; but the performance
has continued too long for him,
The impression is daily gaining
ground that he is shamming insan'
ity; and the probability grows
stronger that he will hang.
Mr.. Chas. II. Reed, a noted Grim
insl lawyer of Chicago, entered into
the case Friday as assistant counsel
with Mr.. Scoyille for Guiteau.

Christmas and New Year.

.,4 This happy, festive season has
come to us again. The cry of hard
times has been unheara or unheed.
edamid the pleasures and festivities
of this Joyous occasion. This has
not differed from other Christ
masses to a casual observer. Old
Santa Claus raised and distributed
as large and fine crop OF toys, etc.,
as ever, and his agents did not lack
for customers, We hope that eve
rybody has thoroughly enjoyed the
Christmas, and that he can start
upon the New Year with a good
conscience, an honest record and q
determination to make the incoming
year better than the one that's past
Itis an appropriate time to revie7
the past; to recount. the successes
and the failures and their causesand
teform new resolutions for the fu-
ture. Does the New Year find you
behindhand with the world? Then
study the cause. Has it been your
fault, or your misfortune? Has it
resulted from wastefalness, extrav.
aganea, or idleaess # so, turn
over a new lead (; start right with
the year; cut of all bad habits, aN
extrayagans and useless indulgen-
ces; 1--we within your means; and
q year hence will tell in your favor.
But it may be that you have done
the best you could; that untoward
circumstances have pressed upon
you, and that in spite Of all your
efforts you still find yourself Grip
pied in business. In that event
you have the consoling reflection
that you have done your duty, and
should not ;be discouraged The
past year has undoubtedly been q
bad one, and has brought bitter
disappointment to many a good
man. Let US hope that the year
upon which We are entering may be
such an one as to recompense for
all the ills Of that which is past !;
and LET this hope inspire US to new
energy and new zeal Let Us not
lament over the misfortunes of the
past; but do our duty in the pres
emf, and trust in the future. To
him who has the patience and the
virtue to labor and to wait the times
will bring 8 rich reward. To one
and all We wish a Happy New Year.
