uuitenu Getting Restless.

District Attorney Corkhill yesterday
visited Guiteau at the Jail. Guiteau pro-
duced petition covering four or five pages
for release on $4,000 bail. He said he did
not want to present it to the court i'm
mediately, but requested Col. Corkhill to
look over it and give him an opinion as to
the merits of the case. The petition is
based on general principles, and contains
but few references to statutory laws. With
few exceptions the paper is drawn up in
correct legal form, and exhibits considerable
familiarity with legal procedure. He lays
special stress upon the fact that the Presi-
dent is now in fair way to recover, and,
therefore, he should not be further deprived
of his liberty. Guiteau also said that he
did not wish to see any lawyers, as he felt
capable of managing his own affairs in this
respect. The prisoner is still confined in
the cell in which he was placed the first
day he was taken to the Jail

Bartenders who Never Drink.

Retailer.
What will our temperance brethren and
sisters say when they hear that there are
scores of men behind the bars in this city
who never drink drop of intoxicants?
Our canvassers are continually reporting
the discovery that this saloon-keeper or
that bartender never drink anything. 1t
gets to be an old story with man who has
been long among retailers. We never yet
heard man advance temperance or NOR
atty rs his reason for not drinking In
most cases they have no other reason to
offer than that they " do not like spirits"
shave no taste for them, or never did
drink, and never wanted to" OF six men
who are near relatives, and who are men,
bers of famous tavern keeping family,
four aver that they have never drank any
thing although they are behind their bars
most of the time.

The Land League Picnic at Beyer's Park
last night was grand success. The grounds
and pavilion were finely decorated and
lighted by Chinese lanterns, interspersed
with the American and Irish flags. At 8
o'clock Mrs. Parnell and Miss Ford, accom-
panied by Messrs. p. j. Donohue and ID. Mo-
ran, arrived Mt the grounds, and were con-

his illustrious mother. Mrs. Parnell deliv
cred an able and patriotic address, which
struck chord in the heart of all present. as
evidenced by the enthusiastic cheers that
from time to time greeted her remarks. She
said that though not accustomed to public
speaking she was willing ut all times to
face every danger, if thereby she could pro.
mote the cause of freedom for the Irish peo-
pie. She wished the Queen of England was
present that she might for once in her life
look upon great, intelligent and free peo-
pie, as represented by those whom tyran-
meal laws have driven from her shores. The
speaker referred to what had been accom-
| plishcd by the movement inauguratedb by her
son, and hoped the Irish aud their friends in
this country would still persist in agitating
this question. She said that the people of
England were already getting tired Of this
continued agitation, and were saying 1t were
| better for them to let the Irish have Ireland,
| and she thought the time was not far dis
tant when plenty Of Englishmcn would be
the land. The speaker said she wished
to impress on the American people the
sentiment of her son, that it was no
advantage to the world to dcpopulate n
country capable of supporting twenty mil
lions of people such as the Irish, who were
always ready to hold up the banner of free
dom and religious liberty all over the world.
, Miss FOrd's Address. 'i
Miss Ford addressed the assemblage and
rendered her thanks for the cordial recep.
ton she and Mrs. Parnell had received, and
announced their intention of organizing a
Ladies' Land League in this city before
they departed. Mr.. p. j. Donahue was
called for. He acknowledged the compli.
ment, and said after the eloquent address Of
Mrs. Parnell, there was nothing left fol
him to say but to announce to the young
people that dancing would be commenced
which, after a promenade to the music Of
Wearing of the Green by Prof. CaldwelPs
band, they heartily enjoyed. The knights
of st. Colnmbkill, Knights of st. Joseph
and other societies were present in full
regalia, and altogether the event was one
which every one present will always recall
with pleasant recOllcctions

Lord Beaconsfeld's executors are prudent
ly taking advantage of the rage for possess
ing relics ofthat remarkable man by SELL
ing all his furniture and effects and every
thing they can lay their hands on. His
house, 10 Curzon street, is now open for in
spectiOn, and to-day crowds of people are
streaming through it. 1t was almost i'm
possible at noon to get near the outer door,
His bedroom is the chiefObiect 0fcuriOsity,
with its wonderful hangings of blue silk,
covered with red roses. The walls are
covered with this silk and the bed-curtains
are of the same azure hue, filter for the
queen of beauty than for an old man of
seventy six. The drawing-room is decked
out in crimson satin and there is blue vel
vet everywhere. The colors throughout
the house are on par in brilliancy with
his peacOcks at Hughenden, the dazzling
cravats he wore to the last moment, and
even with that fashy waistcoat of his
early days, which Mr.. Bright once said was
the prototype of his foreign policy. 1t is
probable that these gaudy articles will fetch
three times their real value. If the exec
utors would sell his coats and vests they
would realize small fortune. 1t is whis.
pered that they are actually thinking OF
doing so.

His AIgegntiOns.

Wayne Macveagh, Attorney General,
detective, ct cetera, is making desperate
efforts to secure testimony in order to sup
port some of the allegations against the
Star-route men. During the past few
weeks he has sent out large number of
letters to employees discharged by certain
contractors for general worthlcssness, re-
questing them to furnish him with what
ever information they may have likely to
aid tho Government in its prosecution.
These letters have not been sent out in Off
cial form, but were written on the personal
monogramed note paper of the writer, and
each marked "strictly confidential" 1t
would seem that MacVcagh, Gibson, Cook,
ct al. have been put to their stumps in
working up cases.
