trouble with Mrs. scoville.
The prisoner-ssIt is not true. I never

scoville to Witness--"Did you form any
opinion as to whether he was sane or in
sane?''
The prisoner--e'I object. The witness
is not an expert
The cross-examination was very search
ing, and the story Of the axe scene with
Mrs. Scoville having been again alluded to
the prisoner declared it 20 be lie. That
was a short way to put it. He had not
used any anger toward his sister at all, al
though no doubt she thought SO. AS a
matter Of fact it was all nonsense,
In the redirect examination reference
was made to the incident Of Guiteau's

WASHINGTON, November 22.-The wit
nesses in The case Of VIM. Jones were be-
fore the grand jury to-day. It is under
stood that Perry Carson and the driver of
the van testified that they recognized
Jones as the man who fired at Guiteau. A
small boy who was running after the van
at the time was quite positive that Jones is
the man who did the shooting. Officer
Edelin, was quite as positive that he was
the man. It is believed an Indictment will

The ot1, Day of the Trial OF Gssiteass.

WASHINGTON, November 19.-The crowd
about the court room this morning was far
greater than upon any former day.
The court opened without incident and
Geo. c. Maynard was put OF the stand.
lie testified to loaning Guitean $40 at one
time and $15 at another.
GuiteAu protested against this line ofev-
idence. lie did not think it any ones
business whether he owed $25 or if any
body owed him. ''Maynard is q good fell
low. and owe him $25, and that is all
there is i'll it,
On the crOss-eXaminAtion, the witness
thought Guiteau looked seedy and hungry
The prisoner showed much feeling and
frequently interrupted the witness, assert
inc he lived in tirst-class style and wore a
$40 suit Of clothes. lie knew plenty Of
public men and had all the money he
wanted. Ills mental condition, not lis
physical condition., was at fault; he had 81
big load ON his mind ut that time.
John O'Meary testified to selling pistol
to Guiteau. lie could not identify it as
there were thousands just like it.
The charges were then drawn from the
revolver at the suggestion of counsel, and
much to the relief Of the audience.
Col. A. 5. Rockwell, the next witness,
began to detail the occurrence at the depot
when Scoville interrupted him, acl1noW-
Lodging the killing. ....
Guiteau quickly shouted, "No, your
honor, we acknowledge the shooting, but
not the killing"
Gen. Swain then testified in regard to
Garfeld's illness, and after him DR.. Bliss
was examined and cross-eXamined.
The court then adjourned.

WASHINGTON, November 21.-since the
election in New York it has been claimed
that there were one hundred and forty
EseVen straight Republican members Of

Am Eminent Doctor On Guiteau's Ans
sanity.
CHICAGO, November2 23.-1he Cincinnati
GaSette's Washington special says: The
opinion Of DR.. Allen McLane Hamilton,
that Gt1iteau is undoubtedly insane enough
to hang-that he ought to be hanged as a
matter Of justice and policy--creates con-
siderable interest, as DR.. Hamilton is one
OF the most eminent authorities ON nery-
GUS disease and consulting physician to
all the city insane asyluuls. He says that
Gulteau belongs TO larger class of per-
sons than most people suspect the exist
ence of. He is a subject OF the <kinsane
neurosis, or insane temperament. The
outbreaks characterizing such a condition
are largely the fault Of the so-caled patient,
though of course there may be hereditary
from nervous ancestors. This matter Of
insane neurosis is one Of d wide bearing
which deserves more attention from phys
icians than it has yet received. It mani
tests itself in different ways. In ninety
nine eases out of q hundred it leads people
to nothing more than harmless eccentric
ity, or hypochoAdria, and frequently is
never noticed at all, unless by some plnysi-
cian interested in such matters. The i'm
portance Of recognizing the gravity Of the
subject is imperative. But the recognition
of insane neurosis is no new thing. Maui
sley gives it prominence, and in his works
calls attention to its evidence ia large

The Knocking of Christ.

One good reason why you should let
Him in is, that it is easier to let Him in
when you are young than after. The
door at which he stands knocking grows
thicker and harder to open the longer He
is kept outside. The knocking comes
more family every day. Jesus is still
there; but the spirit that should hear is
growing deaf as it grows DID, At last it
does not hear at ALL
| saw sad story in the newspapers
not long ago. A poor woman lived all
alone in dark cellar. She was very.
very poor. But one day the neighbors
missed her. They went to the door and
listened, and there was no sound. They
knocked and got no answer. They
knocked again and still there was no re-
ply. Then they forced the door and
went in. She was dead. She was seated
on the floor, her body leaning against the
wall. There was neither fire, nor furni-
ture, nor bedclothes, nor food in the
house. In great rich city she had died
of want. All, sad though that was, the
way many souls die is sadder still They
shut out Jesus in the day of youth. They
keep Him out when they grow old, and
then when He comes knocking at the
door of the heart with the bread of truth
they cannot hear Their bodies are liv-
ing; their souls are dead. If you could
break open the door of that inner house
where the soul is, and see what God sees
there, you would find a heart without
truth, or love, or faith, or prayer; and in
it soul that has died of want.
Anofbar ,ooco,, ,,1,,
to Jesus is, that He will not always
knock. He will not knock after you die.
If you die before He is let in He will re-
main outside forever. Eternity will flow
on and over you forever: but no hour
can come when He will enter. There is
no Saviour knocking at the door of any
heart in hell.
He may go away from the door before
you die. Ephraim had idols and kept
Jesus out, and Jesus said, Ephraim is
joined to his idols, let him alone" An
awful word! An awful thing to have
Jesus say to food and Bibles, and Provi-
dence Let him alone; knock no
more"
| was coming home late one night.
The long street was silent. Just as I
reached my own door / heard loud
knocking at the far end of the street. I
heard it an hour after when 1 was in
bed. Then it stopped. Then l heard
quick footsteps tramping along the street.
Then all was silent. Just so it is with
the knocking of Jesus at the door of
mems hearts. But no ear can hear the
departing footsteps of Christ
Some people are able to tell you when
they first heard the knocks of Jesus.
These are first knocks. But Mr.. Nc
Cheyne once said to little girl in Kelso
Remember, also, there are last knocks.
When the heart becomes hard and care
less, then be afraid Be afraid lest
Christ should knock for the last time.
0 you, at whose hearts he is still knock
ing you whose hearts are still fresh and
young 0 children, in the days of youth
open the doors of your hearts and let the
King of Glory in.-Macleod.

Every year is pearl, dear.
Perfect and pure and fair.
That God lets grow within your life
Trusting it to your care.
And death, is the golden clasp, dear,
That fastens the pearly chain,
And it shines with a clearer lustre,
If the pearls are white through pain.
Some Of the chains are short. dear,
And some are Of many strands;
But every one returns at last
To the Master Workman's hands.

And keep them ever bright,
That the crown jewels they may glow,

Tho Care of the Hair.
American Agrlculturallst

Some forty years ago when there was introduced a preparation called Balm of Columbia" which, when used accord ing to the directions, produced remark able results in preventing the hair from falling off, and even causing new crop to grow. Certificates might have been obtained from several excellent and eminent persons who within the writer's knowledge used this balm" with good results, had not the maker lived in Eng land. The directions were essentially these:
 Before going to bed rub the scalp with stiff brush for i've think it was) ten minutes, apply the "balm," rub some more minutes and go to bed
 The whole efficacy of the 'balm," was due to the ten minutes scrubbing of the scalp before it was applied. If the stuff had been water, though it was no doubt some soothing application, itwould, with all this rubbing, have done some good It will be found that most of the appli cations for preventing badness and en

couraging the growth of the hair depend
 upon either a vigorous rubbing of the scalp, or they are preparations which are to be first rubbed well into the
 hair and then washed out, tlus securing the cleanliness sso essential to a healthy condition. Let any one with naturally dry hair try persistent brushing with a stiff brush, or the use of fine-toothed comb for some minutes, and unless there is some disease of the scalp the hair will become surprisingly moist. Of course those who curl or crimp their hair by the use of heated irons must expect it to become injured and no help can be looked for so long as the practice is fol- lowed. With others, and in many cases, badness in comparative youth Is he- reditary, and in such cases it is doubtful if any treatment can be of use. Where the hair has fallen on account of severe illness or from other temporary cause, some gentle stimulent to the scalp pro- notes or hastens the growth. One of the most useful preparations of this kind is half an ounce of the tincture of can tharides (kept by the druggists) to a quart bottle of bay rum, using this upon the scalp with gentle rubbing on going to bed. When the barber kindly in- forms his patient that his hair is very badly filled with dandruff and proposes to shampoo it as remedy, it is safe to say 'No" most positively; the majority of barbers use as shampooing liquid either solution of salts of tartar alone or mixed with borax. They are probably not aware that salts of tartar is but an other name for purified potash. When 6 solution of this kind is put on the head it combines with the natural oil of the hair and scalp, and forms soap which makes dense lather in the hair; this is washed out, and while it effect ually removes the dandruff and dust, it has also removed the oil which is needed to keep the hair in healthy condition. Avoid all such shampooing. A teaspoon ful of powdered borax in quart of wa ter form a safe shampooing liquid, but still better is the yolk of an egg, worked thoroughly into the hair, little at time, and then washing it out. The egg will leave the hair surprisingly clean and the scalp soft and free from dan druff.

That Slop-Barrel,

A Galveston millionaire was asked by a delegation of his friends is he would not consent to allow his name to be used in connection with the United States senatorship. He replied that he never had meddled in politics before, but just now he had made up his mind to apply for position other than the senator ship.
 "Ah! l suppose you want to get on the Supreme bench" said one of the com mittee.
 The heavy property-owner shook his head, and toyed with his 1000 diamond ring.
 Perhaps Garfield is going to offer you a place in his Cabinet?"
 No. You haven't guessed it yet"
 Foreign mission?"
 "Genteman, I'll be candid with you. For years I have been trying to get the city authorities to have the slop barrel, at my back gate, emptied once month, and have failed. l am determined to have that slop-barrel emptied, so have applied to the City Council for the posi-. tion of driver to scavenger-cart."
