Guiteau Notes.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Tribune' s
Washington special: A lawyer long
skilled in watching juries, who has
been present throughout the Guiteau
trial, predicts that the jury will con-
Wet. He says, from his study of their
faces, he thinks that for time after
the trial began they were nearly
equally divided. He now thinks
they are united and would find ver-
dict of guilty if the case should close
tomorrow.
Guiteau, is is said, at the Jail to-day
was found to be in excellent spirits.
He asserted that he still clings to the
belief the jury will accept his bold as
sertion that his free agency was de-
stroyed and acquit him.
Col. Corkhill received to-day by ex-
press from Kansas a package found to
contain very ingeniOusly devised
gag for Guiteau, which was made from
a corn cob.
The prosecuting attorney declares
he will tomorrow insist in having
Guiteau removed to the prisoners
dock if he undertakes to renew the
TRADES of abuse which he has in
dulged in on the trial and especially
last week.
Scoville has been engaged some
days in preparation of his closing ar
gument which will be an elaborate and
exhaustive review of the volumipOus
evidence given upon trial and will
probably consume two days in de-
livery. He was also in receipt of sew
eral express packages to-day, one
containing miniature gibbet with
Guiteau suspended upon it, and an
other mysterious looking parcel con-
tanned number of liver pills, labeled
"WholesOme advice for Guiteau."
A letter containing deaths head
caused Guiteau to frown as also did
the card of a Baltimore house con-
tanning his picture across the forehead
of which was written Guilty"

WashingtO and Dakota.

1t is certain that the territories of
Washington and Dakota will soon
apply for admission to the sisterhOod
of states. The ambition of the people
of these territories to exchange their
present forms of government for the
dignity of statehood is not mere sur
face sentiment created by the activity
of persons who hope to fill the new
offices which the change would create.
1t is a general desire for the business
advantages which home government
would foster, and the claim for ad-
mission is based upon conditions of
development and progress. There is
scarcely business man in Washing
ton-of this territory we speak from
personal knowledge-whois not anX-
ious that the territory should become
a state.
The population of Washington is
about l0,000-not less, certainly. Her
productive resources are enormous.
During the present year she has ex-
ported above 100000, 900 feet of lum-
Der, besides using many hundreds of
thousands of feet in local improve
ment. She has built eight sea-going
vessels, aggregating nearly 1900 tons
register, and ten steamers and tugs
for employment on her own waters.
She has exported above 200, 900 tons of
coal, and greater than all, above l0O,-
600 tons of wheat. And these great
elements of production and wealth.
timber, coal, grain, ship-building-
are only in the infancy Of develop
ment. The resources for growth of
each are without reasonable limit.
And all the hundred varied employ
ments from general agriculture to
small shop-keeping, which depend
and thrive upon great export indus
tries are in an advanced and pros
porous state. The community Of
Washington Territory is busy an6
thriving one, situated in the midst o.
. rich and virgin region.
The present population Of Dakota

sion will also contain provision fol

This is the great export industry, but
as in Washington. all other genera
industries are prosperous and grow
ing.
There can be no reasonable ground
for denying admission to these terri
tories. The population of Washing

that of Dakota, is one-fourth create
than the population of Arkansas

made July llth, by Prof. j. NJ. schae-
berle, of Ann ArbOr, Mich. The new
comet is apparently coming directly
toward the earth, and, for a telescope
comet, is very bright; indeed, it can
readily be seen with a good opera glass.
1t is quite remarkable that il should be
in just the spot where the present large
comet was first seen by the naked eye
in this latitude, and it shows that the
two bodies must have crossed each 9TH

ton for the Warner prize of $500, and

Tile Bicycle stock Market.

1t was Bob Fisher, Matt Hawk, Geo.
Lea, Walter Craigmiles, Ring McNelly,
John Hardwick and Will Steed that
took stock in q bicycle. Before 1t ar
rived stock was quoted above par. AZ
ter its arrival and the boys had exam
ed il, stock was worth only par. When
Matt and Bob come in enc evening af-
ter practicing, well bruised, and repor-
ted their success and misfortunes, stock
was quoted below par and bat few bid
dcrs. After riding Il few days, Bob
and Matt refused par, but the more
George and Ring examined the ma
chine the less they were willing to take
for their stock. During this time Wal
ter, Bill and John had concluded that
their lives were too precious, at the
present and had never ventured, and
were willing to take a little less than
par for their shares.
Upon the whole bicycle stock fluctu-
ates so that it is impossible to keep up
with the quotations. The latest thing
on foot is to declare n dividend of bruis-
es and water the stock, sell out and
buy a mule that wont kick.

The Public Schools Of Athens.

We understand that Prof. w. +. Nc.

ployed to take charge of the public
schools of Athens, Tenn. This is a good
Icle elton. Athens is acquiring an en-
viable reputation as the seat of n of
the best colleges in the State, and she
deserves better in her public schools
chan she seems to have enjoyed of late.
From reports we know of no One bet

tuition than Prof. MCCarron. He has
been in charge Of the Academy at OOl-
tewah for Il number Of years and is
serving his second term as superinten-

ing this time he has brought the
schools Of that county to a position sec

IRE Informed that a uniform system Of
instruction has also been adopted, bas-
cd upon the more modern methods OF
pedagogics, and to make this uniforini-
ty of system more possible. Prof. Nc
Carron also secured the adoption Of a
uniform course of text books last year.
They were not only adopted on paper,
but placed in the hands of the pupils Of
every school in the county on tine most
liberal terms allowed by publishers.
With such energy, backed by a long
experience in teaching, We hope to hear
Of the best results in his new field Of

of Prof. McCarron the people of
Athens can well afford to maintain
their public schools.

The $40 system,

1t is my honest opinion that the pub
lie schools will go down unless the
teachers are paid a better salary for
their services. They can't afford to ed
ncate themselves and teach for twenty
dollars per month. The people must
know that it costs money to ac-
quire IN education, and, thata teacher
cannot afford to teach for as little mon
ey as a laboring man a work for; be-
cause there is no preparation on the
pant Of the laborlng man to fit himself
for labor; no money to be expended
only for clothes and provisions. But
think Of the expenses attacked to OBJ
tanning an education. If the teacher
is getting sufficient pay by which to OBJ
tain an education for himself, he will
be more free to impart knowledge to
his students in school. 1t Is no enCour-
agement to a teacher to walk into the
school room and teach for twenty dol
Lars per month. Some consider it as
a disgrace, from this reason (:
That the wages are very low, and if
they teach for the wages, it will show
an unwillingness to work, for many
people say that the school room Is the
place fora lazy man. They are unex-
periepccd or they would not say it. If
you want good teachers, pay good wa
gcs and you are sure to getthem. Don't
offer less than twenty-five dollars per
month. Don't insult any more teach
ers next fall, but offer good wages; give
them encouragement and they will
teach you agood school. -. A. S,
