MISCELLANEOUS.

The trial of Charles j. Guiteau for
the murder of President Garfield begun in
the Criminal Court at Washington, on the
18th, before Judge Walter S. Cox. Guiteau
was brought into court, looking much bet
ter physically than when he pleaded to the
Indictment, still he had the same restless,
furtive expression which characterized him
then, and his general appearance and be-
havior were certainly in keeping with the
theory of his insanity; whether simulated
or real is an important question yet
to be determined. Mr.. Robinson,
the counsel assigned by the Court to aid the
defense, moved for further postponement
to prepare the case and to secure additional
counsel. He had no sooner taken his seat than
Guiteau jumped up and in an excited mani
ner said he was not aware that a postpone
ment was to be requested; he desired to
be heard in his own behalf at the very
threshold of the case; so far as he was con-
cerned, he said, he did not want further
time; ne was ready to try the case now.
Mr.. Scoville, Guiteau's brother-in law, and
his original counsel, also expressed sur
prise at the. application being made
without his knowledge, and expressed his
intention to withdraw from the case if he.
were not to be advised concerning it. He
added, "Unless the defense can go on har-
moniously with me in it, will withdraw"
The Court ordered the trial to proceed,
with the understanding that when the testi-
mony for the prosecution is in, counsel for
defense should have time to prepare their
proofs. The work of obtaining a jury was
then proceeded with and occupied until
noon of the 10Th, when the twelfth juror was
accepted and the whole were sworn in.
On the 18th the taking Of testimony for the
Government was begun, Secretary Blaine
being the first witness sworn. He gave a
concise statement of the shooting as he saw
it, and was vigorously cross-examined by
Scoyille. Other witnesses to the shoot
ing then gave their evidence, but no material
facts were elected that have not heretofore
been published.

CONDENSED TELEGRAMS,

In the Guiteau trial, on the 18th, Mr..
Scovilles requested the Court to take some
measures to prevent the prisoner from Civ
ing to the public his unauthorized COM
munications. and also to prevent the annoy
ing interruptions of the prisoner in the
courtroom. This brought Oh a scene, dur
ing which Guiteau became more and more
excited and addressed himself alternately to
the Court, to Scoville and the bailiffs who
were endeayoring to keep him quiet. To the
Court; ''I represent myself, your Honor,
and L shall do as l please about counsel. -
Then, turning to Scoville: "You have 10

According to Turkish papers, the
Sultan has given orders to restore the
remains of Solomon's Temple-at all
events to clear them of the rubbish and
weeds which have covered them for CEN
turles. AS is well known, the Omer
Mosque stands near, and the income of
this church, which amounts to more
than 100000 annually, win be devoted
to the work of restoration, instead of
finding its way to Constantinople, as
formerly. When the Emperor Francis
Joseph visited Jerusalem, the Sultan
Abdul Aziz ordered that the work of re-
storing should begin at once, but after
a short expenditure of energy the mat
ter was allowed to drop. The visit of
the Crown Prince Rudolph to Jerusalem
gave fresh impulse to the dilatory
Moslem.' Reuf Pasha wrote report to
the Sultan, and did not forget to men-
ton the crown princes disappointment
at the little progress made. Hence the
fresh order.

THE STORY OF A SCREEN.
BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES.

The level beams of the mellow Nav
sunset were revealing every flaw and
crack in the cheap papering which GOV.
cred the walls of the little galTet room
where Mabel Moore sat busily at her
sewing-machine, and single pot of
blue velvet pansies in the high, narrow
window made a spot Of color for poor
Mrs. Moore's weary eyes to rest upon,
as she toiled at the Hoss-silk embroidery
which was her whole occupation.
The room was small and scantily fur
nished, but there was within its walls
one relic of vanished days--a black
satin screen, mounted on a standard of
gilded bamboo, and painted in deep
rich oil-colors, with scarlet hamingo
floating upward against background
of reeds and grasses, while in the dis
lance famed stormy sunset sky.
Mamma did it herself, when she
was girl at boarding-school," said
Mabel Moore to those who sometimes
asked the history of this one remaining
token of luxury. I'VE have kept Il

And then she would laughingly tell
the tale of how half dozen collectors
of antiques and aesthetic furniture had,
at different times, endeavored to pur-
chase tho old screen.

pair Of tongs and brass coal-scuttle,"
said she; 'another one offered a broken
set of Thackeray's novels and fender;
and third bargained with q tete-o-tete

For Mabel was bright-eyed, sweet
faced girl, who had very keen sense
OF the ridiculous, and lived through
the hard realities of her life with the
quiet fortitude of an Unborn heroine.
But after all, the secondhand deal
ers were nothing in resolution and per-
sistence as compared with Miss Ann
Azalea Harper, the daughter OF the
landlord from whose leaky and badly
drained premises they had removed q
few weeks previously. Miss Ann Aza-
lea had very fair idea Of brio a.brao

eyes upon this very screen.

Ann Azalea TO herself. "And IL was
only this morning that Aunt Hepsy was
wishing for just such an old-fashioned
screen"
Now Aunt Hcpsy was rich old maid,

trust of all the smooth.tongued rcla-
