On September 2Sth, District Attorney
Corkhill called at the jail and being
admitted to Guiteau's cell informed
him that the grand jury would be in
session next week and that his case
would then be called up and that In
dictment would probably be found.
Col. Corkhill offered to telegraph to
any counsel Guiteau might desire, intl-
mating it was the intention to give him
an early trial The offer was accepted,
and later in the day Corkhill sent tele-
gram for the prisoner to Guiteaus
brother.in-law. G. NJ. Scoville, Of Chi
caeo, in which he requested that the
gentleman come here and defend his
case. Guiteau also requested Scoville
to obtain the assistance Of some able
lawyer and suggested Emory A. Storrs,
of Chicago, as such person.

BY THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH.
n IA an Tried for Murder While His
Alleged Victim was Alive

Parsons (ky.) Dispatch to the St. Louis Globe
Democrat
Great excitement prevails through
out this section to-day over the discov-
cry Of the whereabouts of one Charles
Buckles, who mysteriously disappeared
from Usage township, this county, last
winter, and was supposed to have been
murdered. When it became known
last December that Buckles had re-
turned to the county after an absence
Of two years, had gone to the house of
Mr.. Rameo, in Usage township, an
old neighbor, that pistol shot had
been heard at the house that evening,
that Harry Forrest had been there and
had quarreled with Buckles, that
Buckles was supposed to have brought
money with him, that no one saw him
except Forrest and members of the
Rambo family, that he disappeared
that night without calling on his father
or any of his relatives, leaving behind
his satchel and overcoat, which were
found at Rambo's house, there were
strong suspicious that he had been
foully dealt with. Henry Forrest
was arrested and placed upon trial
for the offense. Public feeling ran
so high in that part of the coun-
try, which, by the way, is near where
the notorious Bender murders were
committed, that vigilance committee
was organized and threats of lynching
were INDUCED in. Even Forests coun-
sci, c. II. Kimball, of this city, was
threatened with violence if he dared
to defend so guilty murderer. Ram
DO was also arrested, charged with be-
ing accessory to the murder, but no
evidence being found against him he
was discharged. He was afterward
taken from his home at midnight by a
pretended officer and, when about to
be delivered over to a mob, barely sue
ceeded, knife in hand in making his
escape, thanks to a good horse upon
which he sat. Such a state of terrorism
was kept up that the Forests and Ram
hos were compelled, through fear of
their lives, to leave the neighborhood.
The trial of Forest came off the last
JuEe term of court in this county and,
though ably defended he narrowly es-
capped conviction, the jury disagreeing.
1t now transpires that Buckles is alive
and well and, although knowing of the
prosecutions here and the misery sur
rounding his disappearance, has chosen
to keep himself concealed for purposes
best known to himself.

Italian Improvisation.

The specially, however, of Italian
peasant poetry is that the symbol is
mostly erotic of the purest and most
tender kind. A peasant girl will inn
provise II song as impassioned as
Come into the Garden, Maud, and as
free from unwholesome faint. There
was a bright eyed mountain girl in the
hamlet of Siazzana, named Maria,
who, though she had never read a sin
gle book of poetry, knew by heart an
infinite number of popular songs, and
was herself in the habit Of composing
harmonious and effective lyrics. And
the same was the case with young
shepherdess called Cherubina, whom
also Tigri knew, and who, after many
entreaties, showed him az last some
verses on the passion Of our Lord,
which she had Composed without any
other help than that OF nature. When
he asked her to repeat to him some
rispettj, she excused herself by saying:
"Oh, sir, | can repeat ever so many
when | sing; but now, unless they
come clearly before me, indeed | can
not" She could not conceive of poe
try without song. She never spoke Of
improvi3ng, but of singing, poetry

would attract huge crowd to any race

Military Brutality.

Popular Indignation has been awak-
ened in the city Of Innsbruck by an ex-
hibitlon of gross military brutality.
During frightful stormy night and
amid intense darkness an officer formed
the caprice of ordering battillion of
soldiery to start on parctice march,
and selected as the place for the
moneuvre road that is dangerous
even by day and to those familiar with
it. 1t leads through woodland and over
ravines that are Of great depth and OK
tremely difficulty to pass. During the
march one of the soldiers, a man Of
powerful build and unusual strength,
lost his footing and fell to the bottom
of one of the precipices, with both
arms and legs broken and otherwise
terribly injured. Such instances of
cruelty are so frequent in the German
and Austrian armies that only natural
barbarity widely diilused among the
officers can account for them. 1t is
needless to say that they do not dimin-
ish the general repugnance entertained
by the youth of Germany for military
service.

The Parasite of Malaria
Sanitary Engineer.

Prof. Laverau, of the medical school
of Valde-Grase, has just published a
work describing what he considers to
be q new parasite which he has found
in the blood of persons affected with
malarlal fever. Anotice of his discov-
cry was communicated to the academy
of medicine so Ing ago as November,
1880, but it seems to have attracted
little attention, being thought TO be
simply one of the numerous announce
ments made of late years, of the dis
covery of the cause of malaria, which
prove in the end to have no foundation.
The organism described by Prof
Laverau is minute cell, in general
appearance somewhat like white
blood corpuscle, and having like it
amoeboid movements. He considers it
to be animal rather than vegetable in
character, but for this there seem to be
no sufficient grounds. The matter IS
one of great importance and we shall
look with interest 10 see what the
forthcoming report by Dr.. Sternberg Of
the army, to the national board of
health upon the supposed causes of
malaria, may contain in regard to the
claims of Prof. Laverau.

THE assassin who lies in Washington
Jail Graves notoriety, which, for one,
the Boston advertiser has determined
not to give. 1t says on the subject;
"The prisoner is in the hands of the
law, and there he must stay to the end.
If the law can act quickly, quietly and
firmly, it will be SO much the better.
But public trial is una ,oidable, and
this publicity may lead 20 some highly
undesirable results. 1t is in the power
of the people, however, to trust their
law officers, and for the rest to turn
their backs upon the coming trial to-
gether with what may be its result.
This attitude would seem to be emf
nently right, and the press Of the coun-
try can help good manners by not re-
porting the unwholesome details in the
trial and end of the man who Graves
notoriety. The less he is mentioned
the better it will he. He is an UNI
worthy object of wrath, and it is i'm
possible to amend the laws on his ac-
count. Let the law take It's course,
and let the mans name be forgotten. "

A Sliding Mountain.

From tue WaIa Walla wv. IT, Union, Sept, 3,
Gentlemen who many years ago were
engaged in bodybuilding on the Oregon
side at the Cascades, inform us that the
mountain was then known to be sliding
into the river. Recent railroad surveys
have demonstrated the fact that this
sliding is quite rapid. Large portions
of 3 railroad, built on the Oregon side
two or three years ago, are now eight
feet nearer the river than the rest Of
the track, parts of the side Of the noun
tain on which the track was built hav-
ing moved that distance. Railroad en-
gineers say that, while it is possible to
move a track as fast as the mountain
moves, that it Is impossible to move a
canal, and they therefore pronounce
the construction Of canal and locks on
the Oregon side at the Cascades prae-
tical impossibility. The government
engineers said years ago they could
build the canal there. Somebody must
be wrong.

Or the parts taken from the late Pres
idents body at the post-mortem exam
nation, and now preserved in the Ar
my Medical Museum at Washington,
for the benefit of surgical and medical
science, are the fractured yertebra, the
broken eleventh rib, the lungs, the liv-
er, the kidneys, the pancreas, the gall
bladder, the colon and the encysted
bed of the bullet. DR.. Schrody, of the
New York Medical Record, upon invita-
ton of the consulting surgeons Of the
President, and Professor Waisse, of the
University OF New YORK, have carefully
exanlined these anatomical specimens,
with view OF authenticating an elabo-
rate official statement to be made by the
attending surgeons, The conclusions
of DIR. Schrody and Professor Weisse
are, that great skill and care have been
displayed in the preservation of the
parts, and that the statements of the
bulletin publishing the first accounts
of the autopsy We're correct, and that
nothing has been concealed.
