Scoville in the Case.

The delivery of a lecture by Mr. Scoville,
Guiteau's lawyer, on the celebrated case has
called down upon him much harsh and un-
just criticism. The lecture, so far as read
ers can judge from the telegraphic report,
was inoffensive. 1t simply asks suspension
of Judgment until all the facts In the case
are brought out. The request is reasonable,
certainly, and no one should object to it.
The conduct of the dastardly wretch now
on trial in Washington provokes an abhor-
renee that cannot he repressed, and excites
an intolerance that it is difficult to stay.
But there is oreason why his counsel should
be made to share the odium that attaches to
the prisoner. Mr.. Scoville has undertaken
most unthankful task. moved by worthy
considerations. Knowing that the lawyer
who attempted the defence of a man so odi-
GUS as Gniteau would draw upon himself se-
we're criticism and even insult, being without
hope of profit, pecuniarily or professionally,
he takes charge of desperate case, and con-
fronts some of the best legal talent in the coun
try to save the neck of his wife's brother from
the halter. His position is one of exception
al difficulty, but he maintains himself with
great Judgment and considerable tact. he
has surely done nothing since the trial began
to draw rebuke upon himself. That he will
lose his case all hope and most believe But
he is making sturdy defense, and making
it properly; and will earn, if he does not
win, the charitable approval of right-think-
ing people.

ALBANY Journal: AS the country cor
daily welcomes Mr.. Frelinghuysen, 1t casts
glance of affectionate interest upon the
great statesman who surrenders the Office.
James G. Blaine's career as Secretary was
short, but it was long enough and trying
enough to reveal anew the magnificent quail
tiles which go to m AXE up the man and thus
anew commend him to the regard of his
party and the country. During the terrible
interval between the assassination and
death of General Garfield the duties Of his
office were increased one hundred fold and
were as delicate as they were difficult. But
from first to last he met every demand upon
him with un faltering fidelity and perfect eff
ficiency. He performed all his ordinary and
extraordinary duties with the same thor
oughness and the same skill, and whether
acknowledging message of coincidence
from the Queen or re-affirming the Monroe
doctrine in lis application to the interocean-
ic canal project, or dealing with the Chill
and Peru complications was equally master
of the situation. He will be followed into
his retirement by the gratitude and regard
of every American who appreciates the
character and extent of his services to the
countru

SINCE the war between France and Ger
many the growth of the two countries in
population has been curious in its con-
trasts. Germany has increased by 4,500, 600
souls, but France by only .612,000. Births
in France in 1867 were 26a in every 1000 in
habtants; but in 1878 they were only 25s in
every 1000. The figures which correspond
to these in Germany are 3S 3-5 and SSs. For
1867 the excess of births over deaths in
France was 100000; in 1878 it was only 9S,-
IT'S. Germany, on the other hand, shows
an excess for 1869 of 32S, 900, and for 1878
one of 300. With these figures as a
starting point, it is intimated that at the
end of the century, provided emigration and
immigration do not interfere with conditions
as they now are, France will have scarcely
10000, 900 people to the $4,000, 600 that Ger
many will have. And this growth of Ger
many is in despite of au immense emigra-
tion to the United States and other coun-
tries, while nobody leaves France. The fact
is, tkat the Germans have large families,
while the French are just the reverse in this
respect. The average French family con-
ssts of but two or three children, while the
Germans number at leas. half-a-dozen.

Do Small Things Thoroughly.

Every boy should ponder the words of the

The injunction is exceeding broad, for it

The Hon. Josiah Quincy reports, in the In

Daniel Webster, which illustrates the preach

upon the Importance of doing small things
thoroughly and with the full measure of

BILE. He would be out of pocket by such an
expedition, and for his time he would receive
no adequate compensation. After little hes
itation he determined to do his very best, cost
what it might. He accordingly went to Bos-
ton, looked up the authorities, and gained
the case. Years after this, Webster, then
famous, was passing through New York.

A Cats Long Journey.

A gentleman in this city had presented to
him Maltese cat with four young nursing
kittens by former friend living fourteen
miles out in the country. This cat and her
kittens were placed in close covered basket,
inside OF which was a blanket in which
they were wrapped and the whole then COW
cred with thick rug. The basket and its
contents were then brought in wagon to
this city the distance stated. The cat and
her kittens were kept in room in her new
home, and carefully watched, fed and petted !;
for seven days she appeared to be wonted
and content. On the morning of the sew
enth day she and her kittens were seen at
their new home for the last time, and we're
missed very soon after. The following day
at noon she appeared at her old home with
her kittens. She did not return by the road,
the way she came, as she was seen by several
persons going through the fields with kit
ten in her mouth. Allowing thirty hours to
nave elapsed between the time she was last
seen at her new home and the time she was
seen at her old home, she must have trav-
eled distance of one hundred and twelve
miles, carrying a kitten one-half the same
distance Forest and Stream.

Away off, | believe in Edinburgh, two
gentlemen were standing at the door of
hotel one very cold day, when a little boy,
with poor, thin, blue face, his feet bare
and red with the cold, and with nothing TO

said "Please sir, buy some matches"
No, don't want any" said the gentlemen.
But they're only penny box the little
fellow pleaded. "Yes, but you see don't

so, to get rid of him." the gentleman who
tells the story says, =" / bought box, but

He's no weel. A cart ran over him, and

No Wine at the White House.

The Pilgrim Press, edited by Rev. DIR.
Rankin of Washington, in late article upon
"The Autonomy of Home" says; ave
recognize the right of President and Mrs.
Garfield TO control the social customs of
their own household. This right they do
not sacrifice by becoming the first family of
the nation. But we urge that the best type
of the family in this land is that Christian
type where, for the sake of the weak who
are tempted, wine is never used. Aud since
they must choose between offending the
temperance people of the nation and those
who are not temperance people, why should
they not prefer TO model their own house.
hold after the Christian typeY There is no
more reason why our president and his wife
should have wine at state dinners because
the Europeans do than there is why they
should put on the insignia OF royalty. Why
should not President Garfield do in his home
what the bes. Christian people in the nation
do in their homes-namely, live up {, his
moral convictions on the subject OF temper
ance, sacrifice seductive social usages for the
sake Of his tempted brother man r.
