ALREADY certain men are talking OF the
efforts that will be made to acquit the mur-
derer Guiteau. The country is in no mood
TO endure foolish hair-splitting scene oyer
Guiteau 10 court. There is no doubt Of his
guilt, and what the country demands is d
speedy trial and sentence under the law. II
has weakening effect upon popu,sr gov
crnment that bad men have the audaeiI,
and deviltry TO deliberately shoot the Chief
Magistrate of the nation without provoca-

fnitely more weakening in its effects upon
popular government if the murderer should
be taken into court and his case there be
wrangled over by 10: OF lawyers.

The Painlessuess of Death.
DR.. Thomas d. Spencer, in Popular Scienc
Monthly for July.

iVi
At birth the babe undergoes an
ordeal that, were he conscious, would
be more trying than the most painful
death; yet he feels it rot Born in
an unconscious state, the brain inca
pable of receiving conscious impress
sions, his entrance into this hitherto
unknown world is accomplished dur
ing a state Of oblivion, known as Ma
lures anesthesia:
s'Painlcssly we come. whence we know not
Painlessly We 60, whittier We know notr"
From the earliest period of human
history death has been considered as
necessarily accompanied by pein. So
general is this belief that the terms
'death-agony,' last struggle 'pangs
of death, etc, have been in almost
universal use in every age and under
all conditions of society.
Nothing could be more erroneous.
The truth is, pain and death seldom
go together we mean in the last mo-
ments of life. OF course, death may
be preceded by weeks or even months
If extreme suffering, as occurs during
certai2 incurable diseases.
So exaggerated has been this no
ton that it has Geen considered an
act of humanity to anticipate the
death struggle" by violence; for
ages it was customary among the
lower classes of Europe to hasten
death by suddenly jerking the pillow
from beneath the head of the dying,
thus throwing the head backward,
straining the pharyngeal and thoracic
muscles, rendering the respiration,
already difficult, shortly impossible.
A Venetian ambassador, in the time
of Queen Mary, asserted that it was
a common custom among the country
people to smother the dying by means
of a pillow placed over the face, upon
which leaned or sat the nearest rela-
tive. This was founded upon the
pious belief that short road was the
best one. The custom was handed
down from generation to generation,
parents performing it for their chill
dren, and rice yersa. But perhaps
the saddest privilege ever allowed
the near friends of a dying man oc-
casionally occurred during the reign
of Queen Elizabeth, when through
executive clemency in executions by
hanging, they were permitted to
grasp the feet of the suspended Grim
inal, and, by clinging to the extrem
tiles, precipitate their additional
weight on the body, thereby hasten
ing strangulation- 1t is needless to
say that these theories are false in
both conception and practice. Death
Is physiological process, and, like
all other animal functions, should be
painless.

WITHIN the next ten years great
fortunes will be made in Mexico, by
the men ahat go there as skilled me-
chanics, or with money. 1T is, how
ever, not a profitable place for un
skilled labor, as hands are plenty and
can be obtained at II to 40 cents q
day. Skilled mechanics receive from
S75 to S175 a month. A man with a
little money can buy property cheap.
Land can be bought at 20 cents per
acre to $50 per acre-the best OF
land. 1t would be irst-rate place
to bank in, az there are only one or
two banks in the country, and instead
Of paving depositors, they charge for
taking care of the deposits.

GOVERNOR BLACKBURN, of Kentucky,
set apart July II as day of prayer
for the recovery of President Gar
field The day was quite well OBJ
served throughout the State The
Yankee is scratching his head over
the fact that the murderous attempt
on the life of the President should
be SO publicly disapproved of by the

portion OF the country should be the
first to officially-ask the
people to pray for the recovery OF the
stricken President.

1.-THE English language dates back
to about A. ID. 455. The term - An
glo-Saxon" was not then known, but
is later name, applied by historians,
because, at the time of the early con-
quest of the island called Britain, the
conquerers were chiefly composed of
two tribes, the Angles and the Saxons.
The English, or :" "Anglo-Saxon,' Ian
guage must have been spoken in the
country whence the Angles and Sax
ons came, but no trace remains. The
early English was simple language,
its words being all, or nearly all, of
one stock, now known as the Platt
deutsch branch of the Teutonic stock.
It remained in this condition without
any material change for about 600
yealss, or until the year of the Nor
man conquest. A. ID. 1866. The Ian
guage spoken d; the Normans was
what is now called Norman-French,
and the English tongue, by analga-
nation with the Norman-French, soon
lost its distinctive forms and nicer
infections. 1t, however, remained
Anglo Saxon in its essence and struc-
ture.
The English language of to-day is
composed of the following elements,
D Pure English, or anglo Saxon !"
t2) British, or Celtic; (3) Danish. or
Morse; a. Norman-French; (5) Lat
in; (6) Greek; % miscellaneous, or
words adopted from all languages,
including Arabic, Hebrew, and even
those OF the savages of Africa and
America"

seventy years. If it is the Eureka

CARDINAL NEWMAN.

Mr.. Froude says of Cardinal Newman in
his famous days at Oxford "Newman's
mind was worldwide. Nothing was too
large for him, nothing too trivial, if it
threw light upon the central question,
what man really was and what was his
destiny. He was careless about his per.
sonal prospects. He had no ambition to
make a career or to rise to rank and power
Still less had pleasure any seductions for
him. His natural temperament was bright
and light his senses, even the commonest,
were exceptionally delicate. l was told
that, though he rarely drank wine, he was
trusted to choose the vintages for the col
lege cellar. He could admire enthusiastic.
ally any greatness of action and character,
however remote the sphere of it from his
own. Gurwood's Dispatches of the Duke
of Wellington came out just then. New
man had been reading the book, and a
friend asked him what he thought of it.
Think he said it makes one burn to
have been soldier!' He seemed always
to be better informed on common topics of
conversation than any one else who was
present. He was never condescending
with us, never didactic or authoritative /;
but what he said carried conviction along
with it. When we were wrong he knew
why we were wrong, and excused our mis-.
takes to ourselves while he set us right.
Perhaps his supreme merit as talker was
that he never tried to be witty or to say
striking things. Ironical he could be, but
not ill.natured. Not malicious anecdote
was ever heard from him. Prosy he could
not be. He was lightness itself-the light
ness of elastic strength and he was inter-
esting because he never talked for talking's
sake, but because he had something real
to saw"
