more than made up for loss time.
Medical experts swore that Guiteau

and he shot of his mouth at asterrible

ground that Guiteau may possibly
atone in measure for his crime with
a broken neck.

SEVERAL months ago, George II.
Alsop, of Jefferson county, shot and
killed Constable Harrison, who sought
to arrest him. Fearing the result OF
his bloody deed, the murderer escap-
ed, but was subsequently captured in
one of the Western States. Great
difficulty was experienced in getting
jury, but a good one was finally OBJ
tanned, and on Tuesday, it brought in
verdict of guilty, and fixed his
punishment at confinement in the
penitentiary for life. 1t should have
been death, but then the average ju
ror rarely thinks of going that far. A
life for life ought in every case to b.
required. the more especially, when ar
officer in dischar &c of his duty is thu

Guitean'S Insanity.

A Washington dispatch says: ''The
attorneys for Gulteau are deeply absorb
ed in studying out the authorities and
law upon which the defense of insanity
is to rest. Mr.. Scovilles mail is increas
ing every day and his correspondence
has assumed great proportions. He re
REEVES letters, pamphlets and suggestions
from hundreds of persons residing in diff
ferent States, and also statements of
those who knew Guiteau and his family
wears ago. From what Mr.. Scoville has
been able to gather he believes there will
be no difficulty in establishing the in
sanity of Guiteau. To-day Guiteau was
very excitable and manifested a good
deal of interest in his trial. He is dis
pleased because his attorneys have
put in the plea Of insanity, and In
sists that all of his correspond
ence since his incarceration be
given to the press. He says that he rests
his defense upon the inspiration of the
Almighty, who caused him to kill the
President, but is unwilling that his cOun-
sci make any effort to prove that other
members of the family were or are in
sane. 1t is rather a coincidence that
counsel for Sergeant Mason, who at
tempted Guiteau's life in the jail cell,
will, in the trial of his client, enter the
plea of insanity. Mason's attorney says
that, although there has never been, so
far as he knows, any trace of insanity in
his clients family, he is sure the Ser
geant is insane, and will have no trouble
in proving this on the trial, which, being
before court martial, has been post
poned by direction of General Hancock
until after the case of Guiteau shall have
been disposed of.

Malarial poisons and their effects are
subjects gaining in interest every day,
and their origin is now being very gen.
orally investigated. We see it stated
that the National Board of Health mas
recently published a bulletin detailing
experiments on the subject by an army
surgeon, DR.. George NJ. Sternberg. who
has examined experimentally the con-
clusion reached by two Italian physi
clans that malarial fevers are due to
the germs of minute organism (BGetI
Ius malarid) discovered in swamp mud.
DR.. Sternberg had no difficulty in find
ing a like organism, but a long series Of
carefully conducted experiments with
rabbits failed to show that innOculatlon
with this aDimalcule produced intermit-
teAt fever. The experiment, in other
words, fails to substantiate a theory
which is rapidly gaining acceptance and
leaves the whole subject in doubt, with
the probability, as DIR. Sternberg sums
up the case, in favor of the germ theory,
but nothing more than the probability.

One of the biggest land fights ever
heard of is on the tapis. It seems that
all the land grants to Baron Won Steuben
for services in the revolutionary war,
and consisting chiefly of lands in New
York, Pennsylvania and in that portion
of the original colony of Virginia now
comprising the States of Kentucky and
Ohio, were left by the Baron to his adopt
ed sons. Benjamin Walker and William
North. This land is now worth about
$40, 600, 600, and a fight over it is about
to be made by the European
Steubens, natural heirs of the Baron,
who were cut off without a cent Mr.
a. L. Steuben, Jr., of Allentown, Penn
sylvania, represents the natural heirs,
and claims that the will cutting them
off, and leaving the property to Walker
aud North, was obtained by fraud and
trickery, and that he is prepared to sub
stantiate the statement. 1t is likely that
this will be a case in which large num-
Der of people now in possession of the
property will be interested, and as forty
millions of dollars is a heap of money
there will be fat pickings for some lucky
lawyers.

Culture at the South.

DR.. Curry, agent of the Peabody fund,
delivered an address recently at st. Al,
bans, Vt, in which he showed the vast
superiority of the South over the North
in the matter of higher education before
the war:
IF the census of 1860, as taken by
the United States authorities, be correct,
the white population of the Northern
States in that year was nearly 19, 900, 900,
and of the Southern only a little over
100000 At that time the North had
POS colleges, the South 272; the North
1 ,407 professors, the South 1,48S; the
North had 1904 students, the South
1905; the North paid for these col
leges 81 514, 293, the South 81, 662, 419. "
The same ratio holds as 10 academies
and private schools.
There Is no reason 10 think that the
attitude of the South toward, culture
has in anywise changed despite the waste
of the war. On the contrary, enfran-
chised ignorance calls for fresh effort
on the part of the South for the spread
of education. The great want is capital
to effect results commensurate with the
peoples wishes. DR.. Curry seems to
favor Federal aid.
Should if be within the power of the
Federal Government to extend such as
sistance, it could only be of value when
dispensed by the States themselves.
Just as it is necessary to keep the public
schools free from sectarian influences,
so should they be preserved from the
control of politics. The results thus far
obtained in the South are highly encOur-
aging, and there is every reason to think
that the progress now making will be
lasting.

The European powers seem in no wise
disposed to adopt the suggestions of the
peace society, but instead are following
the Bismarckian policy of increasing
their armies. There is no country on
which its army and navy bear heavier
than Italy. That country is nearly
broken down with taxation, has accu-
INFLATED a heavy debt in a very few
years, and is impoverished by its army,
which takes the most robust and indus
trious men from the cultivation of the
soil; and yet, the Italian Minister of
War is not satisfied with the situation,
thinks the army too small, and is de-
handing the formation of two addition
al corps of 10000 men. If any atten-
ton is paid to his advice we may expect
large Italian immigration to this coun-
try the coming spring.

Chief Justice Folger, of the New York
Court of Appeals, who has been nOmi-
mated and confirmed as Secretary of the
Treasury, is one of the persons who were
called to Mentor by the late President
Garfield for consultation as TO the COM
position of his Cabinet. 1t was reported
at the time that he received and declined
a proffer of Cabinet portfolio. He
was considered a conservative member
of the Conkling faction, and the proffer
was believed to be in the way of cOmpl-
.nce with the Garfield ConklIng under
standing brought about by ex Senator
Cameron. Mr.. Folger is President Arthur's
third choice, and has been mentioned as
sucb for some time. OF his competency
for the position of Secretary of the Trea-
sury. it can only be said that he possesses
the qualifications of honesty, a high
order of intelligence, and knowledge of
the law. He has had little experience in
financial affairs, but this may perhaps
be considered as fortunate, since he will
90 into the office without previous COM
initial 70 any of the Wall street cliques.
The probabilities are that he will make
an acceptable Secretary.

1t appears that the Republicans are not
very sanguine of success IN New York
next Tuesday. They claim that as it is
an ''off'' year there is no great need of
a victory there. Funds are scarce, and
the family quarrel, though somewhat
subdued, still goes on in doors. The
New York County Democracy are work
ing hard, and Tammany, though hungry
for local offices. is thought to be safe for
the State ticket. The Herald quotes a
high Republican authority as admitting
that the Democrats will have 4O, 600 ma
1Ority in the State.
