THE PRISONER. LONDON, July
IA recent Washington dispatch pub
lished in the Sentinel to the effect that
Guiieau based his hopes of marrying a
rich widow upon the securement of a
government appointment, has caused
much talk in this city the past few days.
While conducting revival meetings here
last June, Mrs Van Cott exhibited sever
al letters written her by Chas. J. Guiteau
prefacing the act with the statement, in
substance, that Guiteau was formerly an
infdel, who had been converted through
her efforts, and that since his conversion
he was the smartost and most influential
young man in Chicago. The letters
were neatly tied together with perfumed
blue ribbon, and, rhetorically, can be de-
scribed as mixture of ambiguous disser-
tons upon things spiritual and rhapsodi-
cal references to his all-absorbing afec-
tions, perfound admiration for, and mex
pressible gratitude to the lady evangelist
who had rescued him from Hades' dark
abyss. Said one of the ladies who was
priviledged to read the letters: 'Mrs
Van Cott exhibited great pride in show
ing the letters, and seemed to cherish a
deep affection for the author, and believe
she is the wealthy widow the crack BRAIN
ed fellow thought he could marry. 1t is
safe to say that those letters will never
more be exhibited as evidence what Sis
ter Van Cott and God can do for an inf
