ABUSE OF WITNESS.

Guiteau frequently and noisily inter
rupted witness, calling him liar md
perjur:r. At one time he shouted,
there isn't m insurance man in New
York that doesn't know what fraud
you are"
Witness continued that the prisoner
had swindled him cut of $500, and also
swindled many other creatures in Jail.
by promising to help them and getting
their money, and then 60 raising fin
ger in their behalf.
Guiteau shouted at witness: "Why.
| would not be seen with you on the
street; you cid scoundrel. I'll get
some insurance men to show you no
that YOU are lying all the way through
the English, old fraud
Witness was asked if he ever noticed
any evidence of insanity in the pris-
oner, and replied; "On the contrary,
he was remarkably clear-headed,
shrewd lawyer; he completely outwit-
ted me. Warren G. Brown, attorney
at-law, of New York, was counsel for
Mrs. Guiteau in obtaining a divorce
from the prisoner. Believe the latter
perfectly sane"

TWENTYFIRsT DAY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--The crimina
court opened promptly at 10 a. m.
and DR.. Macarthur again took the
stand.
Guiteau shouted out: "Your honor,
(Scoville, keep still, please well, then,
YOU state it at once; if you don't, |
will"
Scoyille then addressed the court,
and objected to the character OF the
evidence given which had been given
by .he witness, on the ground that the
evidence of any other crime could not
be introduced when the prisoner had
his trial. For this particular oflense
he desired that all such evidence be
stricken out.

CoRKHlLL READ OUT,

Col. Corkhill desired the court to re-

turned to him and said: You go
slow, Corkhlll; you are spotted, and as
soon as this business is over the presl-
dent will remove you"
Scoyille cross examined the witness
and became very angry and much e1-
cited at some of bis replies. The testi-
mony.in-chief was not shaken.

the stand.
Guiteau called out; This man was

The witness then gave the circum-
stances under which he became ac-
quainted with the prisoner. Witness
was in Jail under $4,000 bonds, charged
with libel, and the prisoner acted as his
attorney.

GEO. PLUMBER CALLED.

Guiteau Immediately shouted; Il
owe this man $40, but it has cost the
government about 500 to get him
here. shink the presidents attention
had better be called to the way you are
squanderil,g the vernment's money.
Corkhill-iie might bounce you st
once. You will cost the government
$4,000 or $500, 900 at this rate.
Witness allowed the prisoner to oc-
cupy desk in his law Office at Chi
cago for some months. He seemed to
have collection business, and went in
aid out like any business man.
Did you ever see anything in his
conduct that indicated unsoundness of
mind, was the next question.

seemed to be a man of ability, vain

N HIS CELEBRATED pronunciamento,

In HIS CELEBRATED pronunciamento,
published in the Philadelphia Record Of n
week ago last Saturday, the Attorncy-Gen-
eral declared that "Shellabargcr and Will
son were retained because they had been
counsel for John Sherman in his contro-
versy with Agnes jerks, and it was hoped
that the Administration could be reached
in that manner; but Sherman is not too in
innate ut the White House himselfp' This
was certainly very remarkable declara-
tion. The English is trine bungling, but,
as near as one can make it out, the Attorney
General means to project an insinuation
that somebody is too intimate at the White
House," and then takes pains to narrow the
sphere of suspicion by averring that ait is
not John Sherman!" Who is it, then
Does the Attorney General wish to imply
contract in this respect between John
Sherman and the other individual named ?

WE ARE NOW INFORMED that Mr. ID.
Stevens, secretary of the American legation
in Toxic, japan, who has just arrived in
Washington, declares that we have splen-
did opportunity now offered us of Ameri-
canizing Japan and gaining the good will of
that country. Americans are much prefer
red there to the people of any other cOun-
try, and American goods are in general de-
mand. If but a little attention be devoted
Japanese trade we can, he says, soon secure
a monopoly of it, as the people are tired and
disgusted with England, which has hitherto
enjoyed nearly the entire commerce of these
islands. All of which is highly fattcring |;
but the bat-manurc Patapsco fleet Of the
Chesapeake is SO much engaged at present
in carrying on its extensive trade with
Brazil, that Japan will have to rest on its
oars till navy can be secured.

Now THAT New York feels easy in its
mind as having secured new broom in the
shape of Mr.. Coleman, who seems really
able, and, what is more, willing to sweep
her streets clean, that city has q little
leisure to devote TO other matters. The
weather has made Coney Island little too
damp even for seaside resort, and Albany
has become slightly monotonous, SO sub
.jcct has to be looked for. Luckily, New
York always has standing topic ready at
hand in Philadelphia; formerly that poor
unfortunate neighbor was always receiving
little dig as "quiet village for its inn
pertinent young American habit of growing,
and especially of building separate new
dwellings for all its young couples and set
ting them up at housekeeping in neat little
residences of theirow This grudge served
for n long time, but the witty sarcasm of
the village has finally become over-worn,
and now New York, from the throne of a
superiority only won by experience, patron
izingly pities Philadelphia as chat bcauti-
full but misgoverned city" What the re-
porters call an "allusion" to the old story
of glass windows, or that equally venerable
antique about pots and kettles, must be
secuted as inappropriate in this connection.

PUBLIC OPINION is being aroused, so to
speak, over the question of pensions. The
idea prevailed, when the war commenced,
that the gentlemen who went into the
strife had some faint notion of sacrifice.
This was their idea. There can be no doubt
of it. They professed to have country
and they profcsscd to be willing to save that
country at any personal risk. The mag
nanimitv and heroism displayed can never
be rated too high. When the war ended, 1t
appeared that many had been wounded,
some of them so seriously that they were
altogether incapacitated for the duties Of
life.
No one inside the corporate limits of the
United States would plant any obstacle in
the way of these incapacitated men receiv-
ing fair and honest pension from the Gov
ernment. But there are two sides to this
question. Not even the Pension Office will
deny that hundreds and thousands of
highly-patriotic gentlemen not wounded to
any enormous extent, have been literally
paid for their services to the cause, while
those who are actually unable to perform
work of any kind are still out in the cold
According to the last estimate, we are
taking in from customs and internal revenue
about $340,00O,000 n year. The last esti-
mate on pensions was sixty million; which
means That onc-sixth of the revenues of this
country go to pay annually the dis
tinguished gentlemen who preserved it..
Perhaps it might be fair to state that this
is very large interest to pay on the invest

YoUNG ENGLAND became u phrase of
special meaning years ago under the lead
crship of the, brilliant and dasliing Dis
racli. Young Amesica has, perhaps, II little
unfairly been exclusively applied to pre-
cocious smartness compounded with impru-
dence in conditions of great activity.
Young Ireland sings mclodiously of tho
sorrows of Erin, and, while sustaining a
continuous row, generally draws upon him
self a little governmental coercion in the
shape of imprisonment or more convenient
eviction. Young Russia seems, however to
be a promising scion that is the most danger
Gus of all the youthful explosives. He has;
the natural and national tendency toward
combustion in II virulent degree Merely
as an item of news the story is told of the
trial of more than two hundred students
of tho University of st. Petersburg, and ut
another time we learn that about one hun
dred and fifty students are under discipline
at Moscow. Students appear constantly as
an active element in all the Nihilistic plots,
and what adds to the seriousness of the sit
uation is that these young men find ready
converts in their sisters and their cousins,
and involve the women in the hideous net
work of secret mines and all the horrible
chemistry that has its avowed aim in death
and destruction.

AT A RECENT meeting of. business men of
Bath, Me-, 100000 was pledged for an iron
ship-yard, and committee was appointed to
raise 100000 more by subscription. These
little indications encourage us to hope that
the time may come, perhaps in our day,
when man can venture to be of the opn-
an American merchant marine without
wholly losing his position in society. 1t is
even possible that at some time in the fu-
turc John Goldman may not be able to ar
range the policy of the United States SEN
ate; at least not in single interview with
the Hon. Beck and the celebrated Bat-ma-
nure statesman of the Patapsco, the ex-Hon

a charming amount of liberty to individual

The modern craze for OrnamentatiOn has
led to SO much absurdity and extravaganza,
becoming such an intolerable nuisance in
the way of nOnsensical lumber and "artistic"
clattcr that, while suffering under the in
Fiction, it is difficult to find any possible
benefit to be derived by the public. 1t has,
of course been financially advantageous in
circulating Il great deal of money. Hideous
old rubbish has been brought out of stray
corners and sold at exOrbitant prices, and
eOlors that were apparently the failures of
the dye-pot have been accepted with ecstatic
rapturcs. Unexpectedly, however, out of
tho very excesses of this reign of humbug
and artificiality has come II most wholesome
reaction. Having exhausted all the estab-
lished methods of conventional ornamental
tiOn fashion, in utter despair of q new sem
sation, vecred suddenly from mere lavish
ness and expenditure and brought ingenuity
and effects F." into the market. 1t was no
longer the price of the article that marked
its value, nor even its rarity but rather its
singularity. After following with blind
obedience some ever-changing detail i'll II
mOnotonous rule of fashion that led its vo-
taries for years to consider it to be the high
est duty of each member of society to re-
semble each other member as much as pos
s;blc, it was suddenly enacted as n new law
that every woman was under moral obliga-
ton to make her parlor as unlike her neigh
boris as possible. Brains must always be
better than bullion, and the sudden revca-
ton that gave at least a temporary power to
individual fancy has brought about in many
places very advantageous economic result,
especially in the fact that, as the pretty and
the quaint are the theme of rapturOus ad-
miration, people who could never compete
in the shows of mere expenditure are now
encouraged to enter into work of improve
ment within their own more moderate
limits, and development of individual
taste is the most wholesome result, with a
momcntary emancipation from the iron rule
of fashion that, it is to be hoped, may lead
to permanent cnfranchisement.
