Gas Treatment of WhOOping Cough.

In the treatment of whooping cough in gas works, as lately resorted to, es- pecially in London, the purifying cham Der consists of large room with doors and windows freely open, and each con- tains twenty-four vessels, holding five cubic meters of depurating substance lime and sulphate of iron mixed with sawdust-through which the gas has to pass. When the workmen are empty ing and re6lling these vessels, the chil- dren with whooping cough are placed around it, and inhale the vapors which escape they are in an atmosphere con- taining ammonium sulphide, carbolic acid, and tarry products. As to the efficiency of this treatment, one physi- clan reports that of 12O cases persevered with, in twenty there was entire failure. forty-eight showed improvement, and the rest were cures; it is thought, how ever, that it acts only upon one element
 of the malady, viz, catarrh.

THE TRIAL OF GUITRAU.
ncid ents of the Case and Testim on y
 Given.

Monday was occupied in the ex- York. He testified that he had ex- amined the prisoner, and had not the slightest doubt of his insanity. His conviction was fixed. however, be- fore he had ever seen the man. It was based upon his published writings, upon his picture, his family history, and the statements of various peo- pie who were acquainted with him. He published an article in the Medical Record of Oct. 20, in which he took the ground that the assassin was insane and ought not to be hanged. He came on an attachment, having disregarded supoena, and testified under protest. Dr. Spitzka regards Guiteau as a con- genital moral imbecile or monstrosity, or, according to the classification of some, morally insane. In mental cali bre, and with reference to legal attain ments, he ranks him as e. third-class shyster." He has low cunning, he says, rather than ability. s
 At the Guiteau trial Tuesday the ex. animation of Dr. Spitzka, of New York, for the defense was concluded. Dr. Fordyce Barker, of New York. who was called for the prosecution, declared that moral insanity was simply wickedness. Mrs. Scoville was allowed to question this witness. Witnesses were called to prove small frauds committed by Gui. teau. The prisoner was violent and abusive throughout the day.
 On Wednesday three witnesses were examined, the gist of their testimony being that they never regarded Guiteau as insane, but did look upon him as a shrewd, or. in the words of the Rev. Dr. Wlthrow of Boston, "very cute" man.
 Another witness said quiteau had col Iected money and never paid it over. The prisoner indulged in his customary remarks and interruptions. At one point he made little speech, in which {, ile discussed the question whether he knew he was doing wrong. His answer to that was he didn't care whether he knew he was doing waong or not, for his free agency was destroyed and he had no choice the question was not whether he was insane five years ago, but whether he was free agent when he killed the President he was in court not to save his neck, but for justice and vindication. Nobody inter- rupted his harangue.
 Dr. Hamilton, of New York City, testified that he made three personal examinations of the prisoner, finding no indications of -congenital defect, and believed Guiteau to be sane, al- though eccentric, and able to dis tinguish between right and wrong, and to know the consequences of his acts. Mrs. Dunmire, Guiteau's divorced wife, never saw any insanity about him. Guiteau was violently angry when she was called to the stand, and said it was an outrage for District Attorney Corkhill to place her in such position, and he wanted the President to kick Corkhill out of office. Guiteau denounced MT. Reynolds. the witness who interviewed him in jail last summer, as spy, and while the Dis. trict Attorney was reading newspaper clippings which Reynolds took to him in jail, Guiteau made characteristic comments.

 "Yes, dearest" replied she, "I oom- pleted it only few days ago."
 "And what do you think of it ?"
 "Oh, I think it is just too awfully splendid for anything"
 "Yes, as literary production it is very good"
 'sAnd wasn't it just too lovely to think that they got married at last, in spite of all the fuss 1"
 Then followed pause and the young mans mind wandered out into the front yard of the future, and he asked himself what kind of woman that would be to bring up and educate the family of which he hoped to be the father,

 The President has not decided to appoint women to office, as has been stated in the special dispatches. A woman was among the nominations for postmasters sent to the Senate.
 The President on Monday sent to the Senate the nomination of Frederick T. Frelinghuysen to be Secretary of State. The Senate upon going into executive session immediately confirmed the nomination unanimously and with out discussion. ~i>>s> {
 --Mr. Scoville says the recent tone of the press has been little. better than offering premium for the assassination | of Guiteau. At least he thinks there has been enough said about hanging Guiteau to the gallows to cause deep regret in future, because he is sure if that end ever did come post mortem examination would show hlm to have been insane. Mir. Scoville thinks the trial will last at least 8 month longer, and that counsel for the Government who expect speedy end will be greatly disappointed.
 The number of bills introduced in the Senate during it's first four days session was $50, which is nearly as many as were introduced in that body during the entire third session of the last Congress, from December 8, 1880, to March 4, 1881.

a dispatch from Cairo, Egypt, says that
an ARRAY has occurred in the Soudan be-
tween the population and the soldiers,
caused by the preaching OF false prophet,
which resulted in the death of hundred

bility is that the false prophet" referred
to here is one of the Mohammedan fanatics

among the African tribes of the Soudan.
and who have had a perfectly marvellous
success in making conversions to Islam

cts have employed the sword as energetic.

but apart from this there is evidently some
