The New ATTORNEY s.eueraI.

The President nominated Benjamin Harris
Brewster, of Philadelphia. for attorney general,
on the 10th inst. Mr.. Brewster has not been
prominent as 3 politician, but he is eminent as
lawyer, and ranks among the foremost men of
the country in This profession. He is about 55
years of age, of medium height, and sufficiently
broad without being what is termed stout. His
face has been frightfully disfgured by an acct
dent, SO as to be almost revolving to stranger.
The eyelids have been partially burned away,
the lips distorted and the cheeks are livid and
corrugated with scars. But those who know
him we'll say that one soon forgets this disfig-
urement in the charm of his conversation and
manners. The scars, too, which he bears are
honorable ones. They were incurred in rescu-
ing sister from death by fire.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1881.
A NEFARIOUs PRACTICE.

The Pennsylvania state board of
charities have had brought to their at
tention the fact that many Of the immi-
grants landed on their shores from
Europe are either hopeiessly diseased or
are dependents. A large number of
these people are sent over by the
authorities in foreign countries, and
others are set adrift by their friends ~
who are DESTROYS of getting rid of the ex-
pense and trouble of caring for them. A
similar case of "assisted immigration Z"
developed itself at Havre, France, where
low, degraded thief was shipped to New
York on French steamer. The prisoner
named Dunkel, O native of Switzerland,
had served seventeen terms of imprison-
ment, and, III fact, had been in the work
house or penitent1ary almost constantly
since childhood. He was still under
sentence to the workhouse when he was
taken out and shipped to America, just
as an English convict is sent to Van Die
mans Land. Consul Mason at Basic
protested to the Liestal authorities
against this outrage. His protest being
disregarded he has replied that he will
send the case to the American govern
ment and have Dunkel returned.
The number of this class of arrivals is
increasing, and it would seem as though
the almshouses, reformatories and
prisons of Europe are being depopulated,
the inmates being sent over to be provid-
ed for by the American people.

CONCERNING POLYGAMY.

The subject of Mormonism is again
brought prominently before the public
and Is likely to engross their attention
for some time III view of the contest over
the seat in congress Of the delegate from
Utah. George Q. Cannon, one of the
contestants, is an avowed polygamist
and delights in the society of four mis-
tresses at his Utah home. He freely adj
mits his situation and declares the Nor
mon tenet of polygamy revelation from
God. To the average American citizen
who fully understands that the federal
law makes it felony to practice polyg-
amy the above case is anomalous, and
he naturally asks why is 1t that the
government does not suppress the in
famous practice of polygamy with the
same zeal that it does violations of other
laws of the country ?" To all such in
quiries the following points CLEANED
from communication from Assistant
United States Attorney Beatty, in the
New York Tribune, may be of interest.
He says, in the first place, that a prose-
cutting attorney must show that the de-
PENDANT hasbeen married to his first wife,
and second, that while she was still living
with him as his wife he married another
woman. AS there are no records kept of
marriages in the Mormon churches this
is impossible. The marriage ceremony
must be proven, or themarriage distinct
ly admitted by the defendant, although
against such admission as evidence are
many decisions of able jurists. The
prosecution can not In any case bring to
his aid the testimony of the lawful wife,
for, under our criminal practice act, the
wife's testimony cannot be used against
the husband without his consent. The
testimony of the second wife cannot be
used as long as the first marriage is dis
puted (and the United States supreme
court in the recent case of Miles seems
to say that it is disputed to the end of
the case, for, until the first marriage is
shown, the second wife is, by the theory
of the law, legal wife. It results prac-
tically that the testimony of neither wife
can be used; consequently, the only tes-
timony the prosecuting officer can resort
to is that of eye-witnesses of the cere-
mony. Again, all polygamous marriages
are performed in the utmost secrecy
within the concealing walls of the En-
dowment House, where none have ad-
mittanee but those who wish, and know
how, to conceal. These intended spec
tators and the officiating priests esteem
their Endowment House oaths of secrecy
more binding than their oaths as wit
nesses, and their church and religion.
with the protection of their brethren,
higher than all civil laws. President
Arthur in his message to congress re-
commends that the laws be so modified
that wife may be competent to testify
against her husband, and also making it
compulsory for any person solemnizing
marriage In any of the territories to
make a proper record thereof in the
supreme court of the territory under
stringent penalty for failure so to do.
Should congress act favorably on the
Executives recommendations the enter
ing wedge will be driven which will
eventually extirpate the foul blot of
polygamy from our land

THE OLEOMARGARINE FRAUDS.

The honest manufacturers of dairy
products throughout the country are

margarine and lard cheese, and palming
them off as simon pure kline product.

Guiteau,s Trial

Tace1aty Third Dayton the 18th inst, DR..
Edward SpitZka, of New York, testified that
Guiteau is insane. Witness declined to give an
opinion AS to the prisoners condition on the day
of the assassination. The cross-examination
quite pointedly directed to witness prac-
tice and standing as an expert. and inquiries
were made as to witness position as professor
at a veterinary school. Davidge (fOr the prose-
cution) said: "Your treatment at that time
must have been confined mostly to horses, and
those gentlemen are what are known as horse
DOCTORS are they not?" Witness (reddening,
and with some excitement -"My treatment
has been confined to asses. When all ass with
two legs asks me stupid question endeavor
to treat him as he deserves" General laugh
ter Guiteau became noisy, and despite cries
of "Slence, silence" and "Crder. he
continued to strike upon the table and shrek
out at the TOP of his voice, ''Im not afraid to
go to the galIows if the Lord Almighty wishes
me to go there. l expect an act of God that
will blow this court and jury out of that win
dow to protect me If necessary. l want to
thunder this in the ears of the American PEG
pie" Davidge with an air of disgust) -"Oh !!
this pantomime business is getting played out. !"
Guiteau-''You are getting played out and
your theory of prosecution, too" The pro-
ceedings for the day ended with Spitzgas testi-
mony.
Tacenty- Fourth Day.-Dr. Spitzka, the medi-
cal expert continued his testimony. He reiter-
ated his former statement that any man who
does not say Guiteau is insane is either no ex-
pert or a dishonest one. Several other wit
nesses testified that they had known Guiteau in
New York and elsewhere and had never noticed
any signs of insanity. a diagram of Guiteau's
head was exhibited to Spitzka, but before that
gentleman could reply to CorkhilPs interroga-
tories, the prisoner raised laugh by saying:
"That accounts for it. A halter came to me
this morning and offered me hat if would
let him take my bead. I got the hat, but you
don't pay for it, Corkhill. Oh, no, the govern
ment will have to do So" The prisoner was
violent and abusive throughout the day. as
usual.
T,yenty-Flfb Day.-Dr. Witherow, of Park
Street Church, Boston, testified that he never
saw the least indication of unsoundness of mind
in the prisoner, on the contrary he
considered him unususlly cute. Charles A.
Bryan, of the New York insurance company said
he considered Guiteau sane, whereupon the
prisoner denounced him liar and miserable
whelp. Henry NJ. Collier, a New York attorney
gave damaging evidence against the prisoners
character. In speaking of law suit he had
with the prisoner, witness said: 81 informed
Judge Donahue at the time that I considered
Guiteau a thief and q scoundrel." Guiteau
(excitedly) -'You did not dare to say so to me.
I would have knocked you down."

Care Of Brood Mares.

.As rule except among those who
IKE it speciality, enough attention
is not given to feeding brood mares.
The best food il chopped barley, mix
ed with equal portions of bran, which
enables her to feed the growing foal
on the very best kind of feed to make
the most bone and muscle. On the
care and treatment of the mare depend
the size and condition of tie colt 1T
birth. We often see farmers working
their brood mares in heavy team and
treating and feeding them in the same
manner as they do other horses, up
to within few days of their foaling.
This is very improbable course to
pursue, to say the least. The dam
should have moderate exercise, but it
should be regular. If she is used in
a team she should not be driven faster
than walk, or loaded heavy, for in
either case there is danger of injuring
the mare and running the colt.

Cattle Raising.

Eastern farmers must come, sooner
or later, to ..soiling cattle. 1t is the
only way they can compete with West
ern dairymen successfully. The cat
tie must be fed at the barn. The say.
ing of manure will about pay the e1-
ira labor of feeding the stock. The
COWS, if not allowed to roam and kept
in the shade, will produce more milk.
One acre will feed three cows t. one
under the pasturage system. No in
terror fences will be needed, a saving
of hundreds of dollars every year
Under the soilirg system = hundred
acre farm can, in time, be made to
support a hundred cows. There is
no doubt about that. No fertilizers
will be to buy, and yet fertility will be
increased through abundant manure
and the farmers income will readily
be doubled. First, early in the spring
1eed rye that was sown tor the purpose
last Fall; then comes cut grass then
oats sown in the Spring; then green
corn, planted in April or May. This
will yield a full supply all the season.
In the Winter, beets, which can be
made to yield 1900 bushels to the a.
ere, or ruta bagas. Having no pas
ture fields, double the amount of corn
and hay can be grown for feed, and
double the acreage of what may be
sown, yielding grain to sell and straw
for bedding. All the corn il cut up
and fed during the Winter. This is
only an outline; and we know farmers
who are working steadily in this di-
rection, and are proving the truth of
what we say. Hence let no Eastern
farmer grumble at Western competi-
ton while ths2e is such an avenue
open that will surely lead to success.
