GU1TEAC's statement reads very much
like the attempt of the average Republi-
can stump orator to justify his Greatest
Effort. His premises are about as te.:.-
bic and his logic as good. His claim that
the Lord has spared and protected hlm
for the work which he accomplished is
not any more ridiculous than the fire.
quent assertion of our party opponents
that Providence has made them the in
struments to work out His plans for the
salvation of the nation in their own mys-
terious ways Of saving it, and of making
personal and political profit for them
selves at the same time. The word
" assassin" CRATES Oh his mind, like that
of thief" is offensive to such as Cor
ham and Dorsey, and BabcocS and
Belknap and his justification of ad-
justing grievances by the bullet when
the ballot fails, is only more forcibIe and
not any less respectable than the plea
upon which Guiteau's party stole the
presidency in 1876, or bought it in 1880,
with money obtained from the star route
thieves to carry Indiana, with the I'm
derstanding that their friends would be
put where they could do them most good
in the new administration. Guiteau
says:
Iappeal to the Republican party, espe-
cially tho Stalwarts, Of whom l am proud
to be one, for justice. 1 appeal to the
president of the United States for justice
am the man that mado him president.
Without my inspiration he was political
Cipher, without power or importance. i
was constantly with him in New York last
fall, during the canvass, and he and the
rest of our men knew that we had all We
could do to elect our ticket.
Guiteau was an authorized and recog-
nized Republican orator in that cam
paign. He knows what he told the peo-
pie from the stump and what lie expected
from the administration he helped to
elect. Having failed to realize il from
the head of the administration he re-
sorted to assassination to make the
"cipher - the integer. Already coali-
tion with Reputation in Virgini;. and
the promise of high Office to the moral
assassin Of the late presiden: are fruits
Of his crime. Everywhere the Stalwarts
lift their dropping heads and thieves
take new courage. 1t is not strange that
Guiteau should think there might be
grace for the man. who made him presi-
dent and "the rest of our men - hone
full.

Nebraska Democrats.

The Democrats Of Nebraska, have
elected their ticket in ten counties. The
Farmers Alliance carried three counties,
and elected most of their ticket in five
counties, aud one Or more officers in sew
cral other counties. There was more
scratching on the local tickets than ever
before known. The anti-monopoly tickets
developed more strength than had been
anticipated, chiefly in the interior Of the

"A Remarkable Will.

One of the most remarkable wills ever
registered in this state is that of the late
Paul Darling, an old citizen Of Brookvillc,
Jefferson county, who died on the 4th in
stant and whose will was admitted to
probate 4 week ago. Mr.. Darling seems
to have had no Immediate family, bnt his
circle Of friends. Or those who will now
be glad to consider themselves his friends,
was so large that he made bequests to
more than eighty individuals, aggregating
considerably over 100000 in cash and
includiay real estate aud securities of va
rioIs kinds to very large amount. The
majority of his legacies to individuals were
evidently intended merely as evidences Of
friendship, and many of them are so char
acterized in the will. They range from
$25 to $50, 900 in cash and annuities OffrOm
81, 600 to $1,000. Among the peculiar
items are legacy of a25 to George A.
jerks, the eX-congressman, "because l
am proud Of him as q Jefferson county
production, and like him as q man." to
Judge l. G. Gordon, of the supreme court,
S25, con account of long friendship - to
Judge w. p. jerks of the Jefferson county
court, '.whom have known so long when
VIC were not worth 42O0, but We have both
since dug along, 525 - "to help them in
their business, J. II. Garrison, John j.
Thompson and Joseph Darr, each s5,000;"
"to lift him out Of trouble, to James A.
Gathers, $5,000"-a lift which will be
gratefully appreciated. Mr.. Darling leaves

it's abuse. 1t is important that false or in
correct criticism should not be allowed to

ears should be open and quick to detect
and correct all mistakes Of this character.
Prof. Bycrly continued his lecture on
Grammar, devoting himself to the moods
and lenses.
Physiology.
Prof. Heiges lcctured On physiology.
He said that lie once taught in a district
in which directors favored the study Of
physiology, but the patrons Of the school
objected on the ground that it wo1ld never
do to teach the science in a mixed school
of boys and girls. Mr.. Heiges said that
to the pure all things are pure !; and there
is no study 50 valuable or important as the
study of our own selves-the proper study
of mankind is mankind. He took for his
lesson the human hand, which had been
80 beautifully described by Prof. Brown
yesterday as ''the second face" 1t is not
only second face: it is also a second
brain, a second eye, 2second ear indeed
it takes the place, under certain circum-
stauces, Of all the other senses. Prof.
Heiges then proceeded at some length to
explain the various members, muscles,
tendons, nerves, &C., Of the hand, and
developed the importance Of training
these several parts, especially the muscles,
by putting the Institute through various
exercises with tn. hand and fingers.

HiacCuiiy's Recita,ions.
Tuesday Erening.-The entertainment
given in the CONT house was very largely
attended, considering the fact that the
great cOmedienne, Miss Fanny Davenport,
and her talented company, appeared at
the opera oEsc, and OF course drew away
many that would otherwise have attended.
The court room was nearly filled and in the
audience were many who were rot
teachers
The music for the occasion was furnished
by the Lancaster Mannerchor, which,
under the lead of Prof Matz, sang the fol-
lowing pieces 1.-The beautiful Rhinc,'
"The Forest" "The Chapel" Critters
Farewell" and one verse of the 'Watch
on the Rhine.'
The music was finely rendered and the
singers were heartily applauded.
The lecturer of the evening, Mr.. II.
Eansant MacCully, being introduced by
the county superintendent, delivered his
lecture and recitatiOns entitled Mental
photographs of Wit and Humor'' After
defining the distinctions between wit and
humor, and paying homage to some Of the
great masters Of both, comparing. and con
trasting the English, Irish, German and
American schools, he read choice selec-
tions from all Of them. His first selection
was Shaksp.are's Queen Nab which
