The Insanity" of Guitteau.
New YORK, July 15th.-The Tribune says :
a man who deliberately plans an assassina-
ton for five days before he makes the das-
tardly assault; who goes about examining
arms, and when he has purchased pistol
weeks in advance practices first at board so
as to improve his craftsmanship who dogs
his victims steps, following him one day to
church, and selecting perch where he can
fire at him on the following Sunday; who
watches for his man in depot, on a street
corner, and wherever he is likely to meet him,
until at last he runs him to earth, is sane
| enough in all conscience. The complete ac-
count which District Attorney Corkhill fur
nishes of the assassin's movements from
March 9th to July % renders the story of in
sanity utterly untenable to believe. 1t most
| implies insanity in him who believes.

The Commander of one of the Lost
WhaIers.
Boston, July 15th-The Reralds Phila-
delphia special says: The commander of the
long.lost whaler Mount Wollaston, referred
to in San Francisco dispatch to-day was
Ebenezer Faye, of Massachusetts,, whose
nephew, +. Eaton is a resident Of this city.
In conversation this morning Eaton gave
an interesting story of the intrepid sailor
whose fate is still enshrouded in mystery
Fave was a native of Pocasset, Mass; is
about GO years of age he has been sailor
since he was years of age, and has accumu-
lated fortune estimated at $500, 900. AL |
though no trace of Faye has been found, his |
family don't give him up for lost, as he has |
several times had such remarkable escapes |
from death. He has always been |
looked upon as a very lucky man. |
He has made number of Arctic voyages, |
and has been shipwrecked three times, but |
always came out right. He sailed to the |
Arctic Ocean, where his ship was driven |
ashore, and he was forced to return to San |
Francisco on the Helen Mar, having saved all |
the whalebone he had caught. As soon as |
the next season opened he went up to where |
the CIeoni had been driven ashore, and found |
that all his oil had been saved by the Esqui-
maux for him. He was on very friendly |
terms with them, and they had great regard |
for "Cappy Nye," as they called him,
owing to the many acts of kindness he had
shown, and his efforts to prevent unnecessary
killing of walrus, which forms their principal |
food. They were very grateful for this, and |
would do almost anything for him, and this
leads his family to believe that he has been
sheltered by them, either on Herald Island
or somewhere in that vicinity.
The Lost whalers.
New YORK, July 18th. The Heralds
Washington special says 1t is the impress

were found by the Jeanette. 1t will be re.
membered that last winter, when the appro-
priation for fitting out the search expedition

ments advanced why the Government should
appropriate sufficient sum was because il
