Minus E..

A correspondent Of the Chicago In
ter ocean writes: You newspaper
men have been publishing as something
marvellous string of verses in which
the letter "E" is conspicuous for its alb
sence," as the phrase goes. Pshaw !
That letter is very much over-estimated.
One hardly misses the little joker il he
gets used to doing without him, pro-
vided he is allowed to write as poets
generally do, withoutsense, too. Thus:
John Knox was a wight Of wondrous might,
And his words rang high and shrill,
For bold and stout was his spirit bright
And strong was his stawart will
Kings sought in vain his mind 10 chain,
And that giant brain to control,
But naught on plain OF stormy main
Could dnunt that mighty soul.
John would sit and sigh TIL morning cold
It's shining lamps put out,
For thoughts untold on his mind laid hold,
And brought but pain and doubt
But light at last on his soul was cast,
Away sank pain and sorrow;
His soul Is gay iu a fair to-day,
And looks for bright Tomorrow.
And so on dd infnitunl. So, you see,
fellow can write with ease without E's
(if you will forgive cheap pun).

Color Notions.

An English lady writes: az think
our English color notions are taking a
turn for the better. The melancholy,
saturnine green's and yellows Of a season
or two past have almost disappeared,
and the dark shade Of red so much seen
now is perfect in its way. Brunettes
should be thankful for it, as we'll as for
the beautiful gold color, which was sell
dom seen in dresses until two or three
years ago. Blon1es can wear it too il
they do not incline to sallowness. no
ticed superb blonde at recent dinner
venturesomely attired in gold brocade q
shade darker than her hair, and re-
lieved with golden-brown velvet bego-
MIA leaves. The effect justified the haz
ardous experiment"

They Drank Him Up.

In the neighborhood of Marseilles, not
long ago, was discovered an ancient Ro-
man burying- ground, containing, among
other interesting graves, that OF Consul
Caius Septimus, wherein a quantity Of
antique weapons and coins were found,
and, moreover, an amphora-the inscrip-
ton upon which was all but illegible-
containing a small quantity of u thick,
reddish liquor. The amphora, emptied
Of its contents, was submitted TO the in
spection of an eminent arch@ologist,
who, after bestowing extraordinary pains
on the deciphering Of the mutilated char
acters engraven upon its surface, de-
clared it to be his opinion that they in
dicated the presence of genuine Faler-
nian within the vessel, adding that Caius
Septimus, jovial consul Of considerable
repute as a Judge Of good wine, had OBJ
viously ordered that flask Of the best
vintage in his cellar should be buried
with him. The scientific gentleman who
had discovered the consul's grave and
taken possession Of its contents, upon
learning the true character of the liquid
relic in question, at once started for
Paris with his Falernian in glass decan-
ter, and, there arrived, invited dozen Of
his friends, members Of the Academy Of
Inscriptions, to a dinner at one of the
leading restaurants. At desert he pro
duced the "consnls wine" carefully
poured it into four tiny hgueur glasses,
and handed it round to his guests, ex-
horting them to drink it, reverently and
outstanding, to the immortal memory Of
Caius Septimus. The glasses hadsearcely
been emptied when a telegram was
brought in by the head-waiter on salver,
and laid before the fonnder Of the feast
He opened and glanced at it, and then,
letting it fall to the floor, fed from the
room, with acryof terrible agony. One
Of the startled Academicians picked up
the message and read it aloud 1t ran
as follows Marseilles, p m. Don't
drink contents of amphora. Not Faler-
nian at all. Have deciphered inscription
on foot, which previously escaped my no
tice. Red liquid is body Of Consul Gains,
liqnified by special embalming process. "
But the friendly warning came too late.
The archmolagist and his Academical
colleagues had drank up the consul TO
his last drop.

The Great Bell Of ST. Paups.

st. Paul's has always possessed, and
still owns, a great bell. From time i'm
memorial the citizens claimed the east
ern part of the churchyard as the place
of assembly for their folli-motes. "In
the great steeple there situate (Which, we
may remark, was an isolated structure)
was their common bell, which being
there rung, all the inhabitants might
then hear and come together" Thus
Stow Dugdale supposes this building TO
have stood where is now st. Paul's
School. SO far back as the 18th of Ed

A Horse Getting Even with a Cat.

A horse at Faribault, Mimi, turned
loose in his masters dooryard, saw
basket hanging on a pole about seven
feet from the ground. 1t contained a
pet cat. The horse walked to the bas-
ket. put his nose up to investigate it,
and the cat gave the intruding nose a
lively scratch. The horse turned around,
as though TO take aim and measure the
distance, kicked, and cat, basket, and all
shot into the air like rocket. The
horse watched the success Of the shot,
then gave a low whinny Of delight, and
walked away. Is

How 70 Prevent Horses Slipping.

The methods adopted in Germany for
preventing the slipping and falling Of
horses on the public roads is as unique
as it is simple. The smith, when finish
ing the shoe, punches ahole In two ends;
as soon as the shoe is made he taps in a
screw thread and screws into the shoes,
when on the horses foot, asharp-pointed
stud an inch in length. With shoes
thus fitted the horse can travel securely
over the worst possible roads. When
the horse comes to the stable the pointed
stud is unscrswed and button screwed
in. No damage can then happen the
horse, and the screw holes are thus pre-
vented from filing up.

Did GuItteau Have a Confederate,

Washington, July 4.-Mr. Cutler,
who saw the shooting, says he saw two
suspicious men earnestly cdhversing in
the depot just before the shooting.
Yesterday he went to the jail to iden-
tify Guitteau. When he got there the
prisoner lay on bed with his clothing
on. and saw him to a great disadvant-
age. He didn't think he was the same
man until he put his hand up to stroke
his beard In a nervous manner, which
he recognized at once. He has no
doubt about his identity, but says from
the movements of man he saw, is
positiveS,the other man, who escaped
after the shots were fired, was the lead
ing spirit, and was giving Guitteau
directions how to proceed. His move
ments were very quick and nervous.
He was tall man, quite six feet high,
dark complexion, dark hair and eyes,
the latter being very sharp and restless.
This man, as the shots we're fired, went
directly up Sixth street, increasing his
gait as he increased the distance from
the scene. Cutters first thought was
that they were pickpockets passing.
Cutler is quite an honest appearing
man, and evidently deeply impressed
with his story, and says whether or not
the bottom facts are ever reached, he
will still be Of the opinion that this
man had at least one confederate. Mr..
G. is well known to several highly re-
spectable.people in the city.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1881-07-05

Washington, July 4.-On his arrival
at jail Goitteau was directed to take
his shoes of, it being the custom that
prisoners should go in bare feet during
hot weather. To this he demurred,
saying. s'If 60 in naked feet over the
stone floor I'll catch my death of cold. -
The jailer remarked, "Yes, you bloody
assassin, you'll have a rope around
your damned neck sooner than you'll
catch cold in your bare feet"
He is under the constant surveillance
of guaIds, and prisoners in the same
corridor are not allowed to communi-
cate with him. Some one asked Quit
teau "What did the president do when
the first shot was fired?" Guitteau
said, "I'll show you" and throwing up
his right elbow with his hand hanging
down, shook his hand, remarking,
That's the way he did, but the next
one got him; but when he was struck
first he soft of turned and looked
scared
Guitteau is now taking his imprison-
ment phllosophically, having been on
his first arrival somewhat excited. He
did not lie down to rest until pretty
late last night, but in the latter part of
the night he slept soundly. Before
going to sleep he frequently asked the
officers, "What is the news from the
White House?', and they would reply
that the last news they heard from
there was that the president was worse
or better, as the case might be.
To this he would make no response,
except when the answer was ''better,"
he would put on respondent look, and
when the answer was ''worse," he ap-
peared pleased.
He made inquiries Of the same char
acter much more frequently to-day,
and the answer having generally been
to the effect that the president was i'm
proving, has appeared to have dis
pleased him.
His conduct indicates that he wants
the president to die.
He took the usual prison feed this
morning, and swept up his cell quite as
well as any Of his fellow prisoners.
No one has called especially to see
Guitteau except a lady, whose name
was not learned, and whose request was
peremptorily refused.
The ablest criminal lawyers claim
that the insanity plea is frivolous, and
they point to the fact that he was
shrewd enough TO realize that his
greatest danger would be from the in
dignant populace; that he calculated
upon this, and willingly surrendered,
and begged the officers to take him
right off to Jail, to escape lynching;
that he went to the jail some days ago
and examined it. to zee if he would be
secure inside its walls from lynching;
and writing that note he was SO anxious
TO get delivered to Gen. Sherman at
once, urging the general to send troops
to guard the jail against the mob.
Lawyers who have had years Of ex-
perience in criminal cases say that in
sanity does not thus look ahead and
accurately calculate the greatest danger
and plan how to escape it.
No expert witnesses will be found to
testify to Guitteau's insanity, and it is
doubtful If any lawyer will defend
him.
The cry is everywhere that should
the president die, the law must act
with such certain swiftness as to deter
assassins in future.

Mutilated Coins.

In San Francisco tradesmen refuse
mutilated coins and they threaten to be
driven entirely out of circulation. Up
in Nevada We are not so particular The
Phoebe Record thus discourses on the
subject Double eagles perforated with
holes are legally worth $40. Silver
dollars with holes are worth Is cents;
half-dollars, 35 cents; quarters, 8 cents,
and dimes, cents. This is an order
of the Government. However, let this
order not deter those who, for the past
nine years, have been borrowing quar-
tiers and halves from Us, because the
coin which they have has been mutila-
ted, hesitate to return said borrowed
money, for fear of discount. We will
take any kind Of a mutilated coin for
those debts; in fact, times have grown
so rocky Of late that we would willingly
accept big holes with little silver bands
around them in payment of the same.
