GUiteall In Jail.

Guiteau has now become perfectly
reconcied to his lot For the past two
days and nights he has manifested little
concern as to his fate. In tact, Gen.
Cracker, the jail warden, says he is
much less concerned regarding himself
than some of the prisoners who have
been confined for petty larceny. He
eats with a good appetite the food given
him, which is the same rs that furnish
ed other prisoners-cotfce, potatoes,
white bread and fish for breakfast; boil
ell beef and cabbage and corn bread for
dinner. He expresses no more desire
for hot dinners He spends most of his
time during the day reading some peri
odicals, which have been lying around
the warden $ Office. No newspaper sare
allowed him although he repeatedly
asks to see them. He reiircs early,
sleeps quite Soundly, and rises about 6
O'Clock, oolling :olerably bright; makes
his toilet carefully, and reads until his
breakfast is served. Nothing has been
said to him regarding tie Presidents
condition. He frequently makes in
quiry, however, how he is getting along,
still entertaining hope that he viii. die.
He iSanXiouS to see the photographs
taken Of him, bur as yet none have been
shown him. No one has called on him
except the District Attorney and Chlet
Brooks, of the Detective service, ac-
compahied occasionally by friend,
nor has he expressed II desire to see
any one except the district attorney.
No baskets OF food or flowers have been
sent him by any one, nor would they
be given hIm if they were. a watch
man has been stationed at the prisoners
cell to prevent any ofthe prisoners who
are allowed to pace the corridors to con-
verse with him. He himself is strictly
confined to his cell.
Copies Of the photographs taken on
IieSday of the assassin Guiteau We're
placed in IA separate frame this morning
and hung in the rngurs' gallery OF the
Treasury Secret Service Division. In
very mort time the news Of the pres
enc" Of the photographs spread through
t.IoTreasury Euiiding,and As it was then
aNrur the hour allowed the clerks tOl
lunch, ihc spacious corridors were soon
pa cked by clerksand MESSENGERS crowu-

Special Cincinnati Commercial.l
RICHMOND, IND, September s.
The northern part of this county and
the southern part of Randolph, is in a
fever heat Of excitement over the
elopement Of pretty school girl of
fifteen, with her fathers hired hand,
and the pursuit and capture Of the
young Juliet. Her name is Hartley,
and she is the daughter Of a well-6xed
farmer, who owns a farm on the other
side Of tho county line. The two had
been making love on the sly for a long
time, and at last determined to run
away and get married, and return
home and ask forgiveness and a corner
off the old homestead place. She was
large and well developed for n Of
her age, and after chopping off her
long silken t%resses, and putting on
her brothers. Sunday pants and
cut-away, she made a good-looking
boy. Her best dress and asummer
hat were packed in a carpet sack, and
an hour before daylight the rural
Romeo deove up under her window
with the family chaise, aud she was
soon slowed away in it with her carpet
sacks They drove rapidly over to
H~arrisville, a way station on the G.
10. @. j. l. road, and were standing on
the platform, waiting for the morning
accommodation to come along and
bear them away, when a freight train
drew up and the old gentleman jumped
of and began maulipg the young fell
low with his fists. He stood it for a
minute, and seeing that his picnic was
over, he braoed himself and gave his
employer a good thrashing. The old
man had not detected his daughter in
the round-shouldered, fair-akinned
boy that stood by and witnessed the
engagement, aud she might still have
eluded him, if she had tried; but
when he beganto cry for his child, and
upbraided the fellow for taking her
from him, she ran to him and asked
to be taken home. When they got on
the cars he drove all the passengers
out, and made her change her apparel.
He went home swearing that if hat
fellow ever came around his premises
again he would shoot him.

WASHINGTON, September 12.-Some
curiosity having been expressed as to
the manner in which Guiteau kept his
reckoning so as to know that Thurs
day last was his birthday, Warden
Crocker undertook to fnd out for a
reporter. The Warden proceeded to
Guiteau's cell, and, as he reported af-
terward, the following conversation
ensued:
well, Mr.. Guiteau," said the
WardeA, can you tell me how it is you
can fix the date of your birthday, hav-
ing been 50 long confned?"
That's easy enough. / will show
you" answered Guiteau, and drawing
a short piece Of candle from under the
mattress of his bed he held it up, and
said, lust count the days on that"
General Croker looked at the can
die and saw upon it a number Of hicks
and counting them, saw that they
were marked up to date, and that
Guiteau had by no means lost his
reckoning. He brought the piece Of
candle out and exhibited it to the
reporter, and afterward returned it 70
Guiteau, who stuck it under his pillow
again in a manner as though he sup
posed that some one would carry it of
from him again.

Tragedy in Knox County.
Knoxville Chrsnicls, 1871

Knoxville Chronicle, l3l
Constable w. A. Coram, Of the 4th
district of Knox county, yesterday
brought to the city and lodged in jail
q negro named Scobe Pride, about
fourteen years Of age, who shot and
mortally wounded young McBee,
white, aged ten. An ill.feeling ex-
listed, it appears, between the negro
and McBee about some trivial matter,
and on Saturday last Pride went. 70
McBee's home, and persuaded the lad
to accompany him to his (Pride's)
own house, in the neighborhood, and
while there shot him with an army
gun, heavily loaded with slugs and
bullets, the contents of which entered
McBee's shoulder and breast. The
boy was in a dying condition when our
informant saw him last Sunday even
ing, and no hopes we're entertained Of
his recovery.
The negro at once fed but was pur.
sued to Granger county, where he
was arrested and returned to the 4th
district, where a preliminary trial
was mad before Justice Tarver last
Sunday, by whom he was committed
TO jail in default Of bond.
The negro lived about sixteen miles
from Knoxville, on Big Flat creek,
and was known to be a bad character,
despite his youth.
II is said that a few days previous to
this affair he waylaid Pryor Ruther-
ford, Of this county, and attempted TO
shoot him from ambush. Fortunate
ly, however, the gun missed ERE and
Rutherford escaped. His trial will
probably be reached at this term Of
the Criminal Court, when q full in

If you suffer from general debility,
brought on by too close application TO
business and excessive brain-work; or
from increasing prostration and sink
ing spells, that even a rest or removal
Of the cause will not relieve, make
haste to do as did a reverendfriend Of
ours. He secured from his druggist a
bottle Of Browns Iron Bitters, having
heard Of its merit from a physician,
who told him not TO take any other
Bitters OF Tonic, for with the excep-
ton Of Browns Iron Bitters, they all
contained alcohol, and had failed to
give his patients lasting relief nor
should he take any other preparation
OF Iron, for with the exception Of
Browns Iron Bitters, they all black
ened the teeth, and often gave head
ache, which Browns lion Bitters
never did, but in fact cured headache.
The effect was most satisfactory; he
Immediately realized wonderful re-
suits. His old energy returned, his
natural force came back, and he felt
himself altogether a new man, full Of
health, strength and vigor, and be has
continued to remain 80 ever since.
