HE INITIATES GUITEAU BY CREATING SCENE IN THE
POLICE COURT, But Is SENTENCED TO THE WORK
HOUSE.
The Police Court dock was again graced to-day
with the presence OF the notorious would-be as
sissln, George III. Bethard, who wanted to shoot
Guiteau, but had no pistol. He brought in
lhlS Time by Policeman Hill, of the fifth precinct
on the charge OF habitual drunkenness The Off
Ger stated that he had known Bethard for four OF
I'VE months He was clerk in Capt T. W. Tai
nadge'S Office, where witness was employed be-
lore he got on the police force, and he has seen
him drunk several times, and arrested him in john
sons grocery store under Masonic Temple yeSter
day, for being drunk and disOrderly. Bethard
while being tried, acted very much like Guteau.
He pulle1 large bundle OF letters and manu-
script from his pocket and was about to say some
thing. when the court said he would have to give
bonds or he committed to the wOrkhouSe for 80
days. He then said: III the court please, wish
fair, square trial / hold in my hand letters from
Capt. Talmadge andr -. The court here again
interpOsed, and told him that it was only a few
days ago, that he released him ON his personal
bonds to leave the town, and when a man breaks
his word TO the court, all his letters and recon-
mendatiOnS are good for nothing. Bethard in
sisted on being heard and started off again with
IF your honor pleaSe"-when Judge Smell got
put the man back into the dock, which he did.
while Bethard was still pleading to be heard The
court sentenced him to give bonds or be COM
United to the wOrkhOuSe for 80 days, and forfeited
MS recOgn1Zance in a case in which he was con-
V1cted OF In this court a few days ago and fined

FRIDAY April s.-sENArE.-The Police
Liquor-regulation bill, by the action OF tho
Senate yesterday, had al after the enacting
clause struck out and the title referred to the
Committees on Liquor Traffic and State Affairs
jointly. Those committees this morning rec
commended that the bill be reconsidered and re-
ferred to them for amendment. The Senate
concurred IN the recommendations OF the COM
mittees. and tho bii was 30 referred. Passed !:
The House bills amending the laws relative TO
the improvement Of rivers for the purposes OF
navigation for the establishment OF Board Of
Health in Detroit.
HousE.-The House passed the Senate bin to
rearrange the judicial circuits and to create the
Twenty-sixth circuit. An additional 1000 cop
les of the report Of the Chairman Of the Com
mittee on Judiciary on tho bill to repeal the act
to authorize the Roman Catholic Bishops of
Michigan, and their Successors In Office, to hold
property in trust for the use Of the church,
passed March ~, 1867, being section 8, l24 of
tho Compiled Laws Of 1871, and to provide for
the vesting OF such property in lay trustees,
were ordered printed.

Self Control.

In some people passion and emotion
ore never checked, but allowed to burst
out In blaze whenever they come.
Others suppress them by main force,
and preserve a callous exterior when
there are raging fires within. Others
are never excited over anything. Some
govern themselves on some subjects,
but not on others. Very much can be
done by culture to give the will control
over the felings. One of the very best
means of culture is the persistent with
drawing of the mind from the subject
which produces the emotion, and con-
centrating it elsewhere. The man or
woman who persistently permits the
mind to dwell on disagreeable themes
only spites him or herself. Children, of
course, have less self control, and so par
ents and teachers must help them to
turn their attention from that which ex-
cites them to something else; but
adults, when they act like children,
ought to be ashamed of themselves. The
value of self control as hygienic agent
is very great. 1t prevents the great
waste Of vitality in feeling, emotion
and passion. 1t helps to give one a
mastery over pain and distress, rather
than il O mastery over us.

/" Pure MOcha.O

If the official figures of the coffee
trade are. to be trusted-and presumably
they are not greatly in error-the coffee
consuming public of this country has
been for long time past very much
deluded. There are a multitude of peo-
pie in this part of the world who are Ia
boring under the belief that the bever.
age which they drink at breakfast, and
possibly after dinner, is Mocha coffee.
Their grocer tells them that the article
he sells is "pure Mocha" and they have
no means of knowing that he is deceiv-
ing them, if, indeed, he has not
been deceived himself. Some, with
peculiar fastidiousness, insist up
on having mixture, and want
one-half or one-tbird of Mocha and
the remainder of Java coffee-a request
which the grocer seemingly complies
with; that is, he takes the coffee from
two separate compartments. Now, the
last completed returns of the coffee pro-
duction of the world are made up to the
year 1879. In that year the estimated
growth was 1852, 10, 500 pounds, of
which Brazil produced 497, l27, 300
pounds, or nearly one-half. Next came
Tie Dutcu IdSt luullu pOSSeSslOLS,
where the crop amounted to POI, 509, 200
pounds while Ceylon, South Africa
and the West Indies furnished nearly
all of the rest. Arabia, it is. true, APP
pears on the list, but its total growth,
the Mocha district and the rest of the
country combined, was only about A.
500, 900 pounds, that is, not quite one.
half of per cent. of the growth of the
world.
When it is considered that coffee is
extensively used III Arabia, that Mocha
comes within the possessions of Turkey,
g country peopled with coffee-drinkers,
and that we have 10 direct means of
communication with Arabia, one may
well hesitate before he accepts the cur
rent Mocha fiction of the grocers. 1t is
highly probable that not I'D, 600 pounds
of this articleare brought into this coun-
try in the course of u year, an amount
that would not furnish days supply
for the inhabitants of this city. We ali,
of course, know the flavor Of Mocha
coffee, and hence cannot be deceived,
though in reality probably not one in
thousand of us ever tasted it.--Ne,O
York Times.

on third reading some time early next week.
II is now quite likely that it will pass the House
nearly as 1t pass ed the Senate, all attempts to
amend 1t and reduce the tax having thlls far
been in vain.

but the action was fin lily reconsidered and the
bill re-reierred to the committee for repairs.
1t will hardly pass.
sUNpRY NOTES.
Gov. Jerome has been quite sick at his room
ut the Lansing House during the past week,
and has now gone to his lone ut Saginaw,
leaving his popular Private Secretary, 4. q.
Donaldson, To wobble around in his place.
The joint committee 10 report plan OF dis
tributing the 500 manuals among the legisla-
tors reported, giving the Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and Speaker, each 80; Senators,
each. IL Representatives, each. 10 Secretary
OF Senate and Clerk Of the House, each, 10 !;
Sergeants-at-Arms Of two houses, each, Z I;
other clerks, assistant Secretary, ETC., each,
TO janltors, ETC., each. 1.
The House bill "to revise and consolidate
the laws relating To enc establishment, improve
ment and maintenance Of highways. and the
building, repairing and preservation Of bridges
under township authority" has been partly
considered in the House during the week, but
lacks good deal OF being through, though it
will, no doubt, pass both houses. As 1t is a
decided improvement over the present laws OH
the subject, it should go through. The new
Senator-elect, Hon. ID. II. Cook, OF Hastings,
was in the Senate in 1877. and, so far az his
health-then poor, but since restored would
permit, made u valuable Senator. He was all
alternate delegate to the Republican Oonven-
ton at Chicago last year, and was Presiden-
tial Elcctor ON tho Republican ticket in the
same year. He was not sworn in last week, AZ
was expected, but will be early next week.
While it is quite certain that Tax Commits
sion will be appointed and an extra session
called next winter TO consider its report, the
Legislature continues to grind awav mt bills
upon the subject of assessment and collection
OF taxes, and within the past week each house
has had one or more bills on the subject under
but have asked leave to sit again
for their further consideration. OBSERVER.

A LAZY Mans Defense.

Not . thousand miles from ST. An.
thony, Minn.-and not very many years
ago-a certain physician, from New
Hampshire, went to work getting up
and organizing Lazy Mans Club, and
he had good success. The club was
duly constituted its bylaws adopted I;
and, chief of all, its larder looked after.
The chief law-really the law that
formed the distinctive feature of the
club - was this : Any member who
should be proved guilty of having been
In hurry. e., of having allowed any
thing under the sun to cause him to
hasten movement of body or mind
should be fined an amount sufficient to
pay for supper for the club.
The first man accused, and brought
forward for trial, was the President and
organizer of the club himself - DIR.
Haskell Eastman. The court was duly
organized; the complaint read and the
witnesses summoned. 1t was proved
frst-that boy was seen to call ut East
mans Office door and deliver q message ;
and it was known that said messenger
reported on that occasion, a case of sick
ness, and begged that the doctor would
make haste. Next-it was proved by
several reliable Witnesses that DIR. East
man was seen, very shortly after the de-
livery of that message, driving through
the city "hke lightning p which plainly
signitied that he was IN tremendous
hurry. Aye, clearly enough, he had
willfully violated the fundamental law OF
the society," T1 fr
But Eastman called witnesses III his
own behalf. He called two grooms,
both of whom swore that the horse which
he used ON that occasion was head
strong, hard-bitted, high-mettled beast,
that would " streak it off like blazes
if ye'd only let her." kgl tfl
And DIR. Eastman claimed that he had
not hurried an atom. His horse had
hurried, but not he. In no way, manner
or shape had he made any haste.
But" said the Judge Advocate,
you could have held that horse in
you could have prevented the beast from
tearing away in such hurryp
Certainly. Icould have done that
very easily" DIE I3A Sc =
"And why didn't you do it?'
Why-didn't- do-itY The
doctor repeated the words in amazement.
"Do it Hold in my horsep What are
you thinking of? Had done that, you
might well have muicted me but i
didn't The fact was-I was too lazy to
do i'll j was just that lazy, torpid, su.
pine and utterly lifeless, on that occa.
sion, that the headstrong beast might
have killed me, and wouldn't have put
forth effort enough to hold her i'll -
We win simply add that the club did
not get supper ut their Presidents ex-
,pense on that sion.-New York
Ledger.

But the surest of all natural prophy-
Tactics is active exercise in the open air.
Air is part of our daily food and by
far the most important part. A man
can live on seven meals week,
and survive the warmest summer day
with seven draughts of fresh water,
but his supply of gaseous nourishment
has to be renewed at least IA, 900 times
in the twenty-four hours. Every breath
we draw is draught of fresh oxygen,
every emission of breath is an evacua-
tiOn Of gaseous excrements. The purity
of our blood depends chiefly on the
purity OF the air we breathe, for in the
laboratory of the lungs the atmospheric
air is brought into contact Mt each res
piration with the fluids of the venous
and arterial systems, which absorb it
and circulate it through the whole body;
in other words, if man breathes the vi
tiated atmosphere of factory all day
and of a close bedroom all night, his
life-blood is tainted IA, 900 times in the
course of the twenty.four hours with
foul vapors, dust, and noxious exhala-
tons. We:.need not wonder, then, that
ill-ventilated dwellings aggravate the
evils OF SO many diseases, ner that pure
air should be almost panacea.
Outdoor life is both remedy and q
preventive of all known disorders of
the respiratory organs consumption, in
all but the last stage of the deliquium,
can be conquered by transferring the
battle-ground from the si"k-room to the
wilderness OF the next mountain-range.
Asthma, catarrh and tubercuiar phthisis
are unknown among the nomads of the
intertropical deserts, as well AS among
the homeless hunters of our northwest
ern Territories. Hunters and herders,
who breathe the pure air of the South
American pampas, subsist for years on
diet that would endanger the life of
city dweller in single month. 1t has
been repeatedly observed that individ-
uals who attained to an extreme old age
were generally poor peasants whose avo-
cations required daily labor in the open
air, though their habits differed in al
most every other respect also, that the
average duration of life in various coun-
tries of the Old World depends not so
much on climatic peculiarities or their
respective degree of culture as on the
chief occupation of the inhabitants

Lime has been found successful as q
ood-preserver. The method, which Is
French, consists in piling the planks in
a large tank, then covering them with
quicklime and shaking them with water.
The timber requires about week to be
thoroughly impregnated with the lime
water before it Is taken out OF pickle
and slowly dried. The entrance of the
mineral particles into the grain also rem
ders the wood harder and denser than
before. Beech wood, for example, be-
comes like oak, and, without losing the
elasticity that fits it for tool-handles, Is
far more durable than OAK.

all manner of diverting tricks with these
stalwart savages. He extracted watches
and rings from their noses and ears,
plates and dishes From their abundant
hair, canary Birds and punches of flow
ers from their capacious mouths. Some
what to his surprise, the Patagonians
exhibited no emotion at any of
these wonders, but stood still philo-
sophically tolerating oil his humorous
pranks. While. however, he WINS dis
engaging magnificent regaha from the
thick locks Of the leading Patagonian,
the patient calmly picked his pocket
of valuable gold watch and chain, pre-
scented to him by the Emperor of Aus

loss until the following morning, by
which time the noble savages' bark was
bounding DER the ocean wave on its way
