GUIrEAU,s PICNIC.

The free and easy style Of Guiteau's
trial is refreshing. The prisoner knocks
the Judge out of time, tells Scoville to
pull down his vest and paralyzed such
witnesses as General Logan. The crowd
in the Courtroom is getting to be a good
deal like a convention of ~pedagogues who
met lately at Stockton and munched
gesting heavy educational questions.
The latest step towards having a good
time at the Guiteau trial is that the lady
visitors bring their lunch baskets and
opera glasses with them. Before the end
Of the trial we may expect that some
spinsters of the old school will come to
spend the day and bring their "'knittin'."

or,rEAU AMI THE vOUDOO.

A mulatto named. Henry Johnston was
hanged in South Carolina last week Tor
the murder oil q worthy negro, whose
wife he proposed thereby to secure for
himself. Johnston was a devotee OF YOU
dooism, and used some fantastic charms
given him by a voudoo conjurer to oo-
tain the affections of his swarthy Venus.
He captured her, but she refused to &C.
cent him unless he could separate her
husband from her. He got another
charm from the conjurer, which was
warranted to ALLEVIATE the husband. 1t
was a charmed bullet, which he was to
fire at the husbands head. Johnston
used this charm with the desired effect,
diyorcing his unsuspecting victim by in
slant death. The murderer then pro-
cured still another charm, which was to
render him proof against the law and
make it impossible for any Judge or jury
to convict him as long as he wore 1t. The
iury of nine white men and three blacks
was out ten minutes and brought in a
unanimous verdict of guilty. There was
no saving grace for him in the plea OF
insane v~oudooism, or ~voudooistic IN
sanity: but that this mulatto was under a
spell. a sort Of superstitious hallucina-
ton. there can be no doubt. All the
circumstances of the case, especially his
reckless behavior, the consequences OF
which he had no appreciation OF, n his
utter disregard Of precaution to conceal
his deed, make it evident that he was
temporarily crazy.
Guiteau's story is very similar to that
of this cranked mulatto. He murdered
the President Of the United States IN
cold blood, in a crowded t~horoughfare at
the National Capital. He expected to
be arrested and tried for murder, but he
had no idea of being convicted when he
was about to aim the fatal shot. Under
the same delnsive spell which prompted
him to the assassination he is still ex-
citedly happy, without a thought OF
danger. His whole conduct indicates
that he feels sure of acquittal. What
motive made the cranky wretch a MUIR
derer he probably has never clearly de-
fined to himself; possibly notoriety was
the love that he was DESTROYS to pro-
pitiate. The charm by which he was to
be saved is not altogether unlike, and
quite as ~fanciful as that which the in
fatuated mulatto wore about his neck.
"The question for the jury to decide"
says Guiteau, sis who is responsible for
Garfeld's death, the Deity or myself"
That the assassin will hang everybody
expects and demands. If he suffer
death tho example will be wholesome
and serve to keep out Of sight a thousand
and one other crack. Drained fools, who
would be glad to purchase notoriety
without the loss of life. >

WAGES.

The auxiliary corps of letter-carriers
are out in an address to the members Of
the forty-seventh Congress, in which
they appeal earnestly for relief from
their unfortunate condition. It appears
that the salary paid each carrier at pres
ent is $500 q year, and it is quite evident
that this amount is totally inadequate to
the services performed. Take the POST
Office at Philadelphia as an example. It
has 65 men at s4O0 per annum; 25 of the
above do what is called day duty; 40
perform what is called night duty. The
% men report at $50 o'clock A. NJ, and
are IN duty until 7 O'Clock P. M, making
IL hours and a half constant duty, each
man serving 500 and collecting 300 pieces
of mail matter per day. The 20 who
perform night work must report at 6
o'clock P. NJ, and remain on duty until
2 o'clock A. NJ. Those living any dis
lance from the Office are on duty practi-
cally from B o'clock p. NJ. until 3 o'clock
A. NJ, and are on duty until 2 o'clock
next morning. Each man collects or an
average every night between LOO and
1000 pieces Of mail matter. They walk
On an average is miles per night; must
provide two uniforms a year at a cost of
$40, and give $4,000 security for the
faithful, performance of their duty.
There is no reason why these hard worked
people should not get the market value
of their services, living wages. at least,
and Congress should consider their petit
ton favorably.

v MARRIAGE.

Negotiations are pending between the
Spanish Ministry and the Pope to secure
his recognition of civil marriage. How
the Vatican can consistently grant such
recognition does not appear, and it is
more than likely that the negotiations
will be in vain. The institution Of civil
marriage has been determined on by the
Spanish Government, however; so the
ultimate result will be the same anyway.

The Killing of Spotted Tail.

The off ,ial account OF the murder of
Spotted Tail by Crow Dog has been
received by General Cook at Yankton,
Dakota. The acting agent, Lelsr. says
thst about noon of the 9th inst. Spotted
Tail reported at the Agents Office to
receive instructions regarding his con
templated visit to Washington. He was
urged to start at once, as the letter
from the Indian Office directed him to
report to Agent Andrus at the Yankton
Agency not later than the 9Th inst. As
the delegation from the Pine Ridge
Agency was expected to reach the Rose
bud Agency on the evening Of the 9th
inst, Spotted Tail concluded to wait
until the next morning and 60 with the
Red Cloud delegates to the Yankton
Agency. This arrangement having been
concluded, Spotted Tail decided to
have talk with his people that after
noon and receive an expression of their
views upon the subject to come before
the Conference. Bidding Lelar good
bye. he said he would call at the office
in the evening to receive further instruc-
tions which might in the meantime
occur to the Agent. Spotted Tail then
left for the Indian village to confer
with his people. An interview was
held with the Indians, and they had q
big talk and feast, and the Council
broke up. Spotted Tail then mounted
his horse and started homewsrd. The
Indians were scattering in all direc-
tions, with the noted chief somewhat in
the advance of others, he being the
first one out of the lodge. After leav-
ing the Council lodge, Grow Dog was
seen approaching Spotted Tail. He
had his wife with him. He got out of
his wagon and was stopping down.
when Spotted Tail rode up to him. he
suddenly raised up and shot Spotted
Tail through the left breast. The chief
fell from his horse, but rose to his feet
and made three or four steps toward
Grow Dog. endesvoring to draw his
pistol. He then reeled and fell back
ward dead. Crow Dig jumped in his
wagon and drove off at full speed
toward bis camp. some nine miles dis.
tant. The acting Agent at once issued
orders for the arrest of Crow Dog
under paragraph in the treaty of 1868
which renders him smenable to the
white mans laws. The arrest was &C.
complisbed, and he was sent to Fort
Niobrara to await his trial for murder

Which he may well travel fifty miles,
