WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-This morn
ing, at 80 o'clock, while Mr.. w. C.
McGill, one Of the guards at the Jail,
was passing through the corridor,
something in the appearance of
Guiteau's cell attracted his attention.
Entering the cell, he found the assassin
IN possession of a knife. How he OBJ
tanned 1t is mystery. When he de-
manded the knife Guiteau refused to
surrender it. Mr.. McGill drew his pis-
tol, and then an exciting tussle ensued
Guiteau making every exertion to get
the pistol from the guard. He sue
ceeded IN the struggle, but Mr.. McGill.
after most strenuous exerticn, regained
possession of it. In the scuffle that
followed the weapon was discharged.
and the report brought the other guards
to the assistance of McGill and Guiteau
was finally disarmed. He had sue
ceeded, however, in cutting McGilrs
clothing pretty badly and came very
near infiicting dangerous wound.
Guiteau pretended to be crazy and COM
planned that his pistol had been taken
from him. All the facts indicate that
Guiteau was meditating TO escape and
that he had formed some desperate
plan. His assumption of insanity is
believed to be a dodge, as he has acted
perfectly sane all along.

White Oak Vessels for Butter

The best package for keeping butter
through the summer is white oak
pail, vanished on the outside and
made with ght fitting cover, or for
larger quantities white oak firkin
should be used. To keep we'll the but
ter should be perfectly well made,
sailed with an ounce and a quarter of
the best dairy salt to the pound, and
packed while fresh and sweet in clean
pals or tubs. The pals should be thor
oughly scalded and then soaked in clean
brine before being used and then dust
ed with dry salt on the wet sides before
the butter is put in. The butter should
be packed solid without any air spaces,
and if the tub is not filled at once, the
butter should be covered with little
clear brine until the next packing is put
in. When the tub is filled to within a
quarter of an inch of the top piece of
clean muslin dipped in brine should be
placed over it and pressed down; dry
salt is then laid on to level with the
edge of the pail, and the cover IS press
ed down and fastened. The package Is
then kept in cool, sweet cellar.

4 Hermit of the Sierra.

BOdle (CaI.l Free Press.
\ party recently went from Bodie to
the Yosemite valley over the Sierra.
c |. s. W. Blaisdel and seven others
composed the party. After climbing
very high mountain and leading the
horses through soft snow three feet
deep, the descent was commenced on
the western side down Green creek,
which was so rough that it was impos-
sible to ride. The snow was found to
be from three to forty feet deep, and
very soft. They had rough time of
it. getting lost and with difficulty re-
tracing their steps They came to a
soda spring which is great curiosity.
Ii discharges about four inches of as
fine soda a any one could wish, and as
cold rs ice 1t is situated about forty
miles from Bodie, eight miles from the
Tioga mining district and twenty miles
from Yosemite valley. The owner of
the spring, Lambert, is quite curios-
ity himself He is fine looking, well
educated and good talker, yet for
some unknown reason ne has cut loose
from civilization aud lives alone in the
mountains, with only the wild animals
for his companions-and some of these,
such as wolves. bears, etc. are not very
agreeable. He has lived at Soda Springs
for fifteen years, and sees only now and
then human being. He carries his
provisions from the valley, twenty-five
or thirty miles, on his back, except
such wild game as he kills in his own
neighborhood.

Miraculous Recovery of light One Eye
Il Telescope, the Other Microscope.

Hartford Dispatch to the New York Times.
Last winter gentleman living near
Litchfield, took his daughter, 16 years
Of age, on a sleigh-ride The day was
cold, but very sunny. On their return
the girl complained of her eyes. The
trouble grew worse, and finally the girl
was kept in a dark room, and there re-
manned with no ray of light until a few
days ago, when she experienced a pecu-
liar sensation which she describes as
follows: 1T seemed as if my eyes were
running out, or part of them. Putting
my hand up to my eyes | could feel
something coming out of my lower
eyelids, which | took hold of and pulled
out. It gave me some pain to do so,
but almost Immediately my eyes felt
better. Instead of smarting sensa-
ton when | winked, they felt cool and
natural, and it was pleasure to wink
them. Then came the thought: why
my eyes are better, and | believe
could bear the light which thought
was so impressed upon my mind that
determined to try. Hesitatingiy,
opened the door, when to my great JOY
found / was able to bear the light as
well as [ ever could. The feeling that
came over me at that moment that
found out that could once more leave
the dark, dismal room and see the
glorious sunlight again was SO over
powering that | gave one scream for
Joy and then tainted away"
Now comes the strangest part OF the
story. Six months ago the girls eyes
were straight and natural; now the girl
is cross-eyed, but she pays no attention
to that. She sees things just the same
as she always did, but let her close her
right eye and look out of only her left
eye, and she can see distaace of eight
or ten miles, and distinguish things as
well as an ordinary person can only
sixty rods away. She is able to look
clear to the lake, distance OF three
and a-half miles, and identify anyone,
describing their dress even. The dis
tant hills are brought close to her. and
she can see the farmers getting in their
hay, even counting the number of
heaps, which in an air line are seven
miles from her. To test her, a field
glass was used, and her sight would far
outreach any object that could be seen
with the glass. If she closes her left
eye and looks out of the right, then she
cannot see anything except close to her,
but that eye is perfect microscope.
She is able to distinguish things that
the natural eye cannot see. The point
Of 3 needle looks rs blunt as crowbar,
and it is wonderful to hear hear describe
the beautiful colors of flies and other
insects. To her the hairs on a persons
head look as large as darning-needles,
and in the finest piece of linen she can
count the threads as easily as anyone
can count bean-poles. The moment
she opens both eyes they assume the
cross-eyed expression or shape, and
then she sees again as any other per
son. 1t is the intention of her father
to take her to New York at no distant
day, to let some of the celebrated ply
sicians see this wonderful phenomenon.
The girl herself is very bright, pretty
girl, but very timid.
