srArEnENr rRon mrs. scovILLE'
wAsHrxGTox. Dec "a.

WASHINGTON, Dec -.
His attention having been called to report
that ..hi. wife bad applied to Marshal Henry
to protect him against threatened violence,
Mr.. Scoyille expressed great surprise and
said, s.Why know nothing of this John
W. Guiteau also stated that he knew nothing
about it.
Mrs. Scoville was then interviewed. and
made the following written statement: l did
not apply for protection. I simply showed
Marshal Henry sample of letters received
daily from two to half dozen. In the postal
which accidentally found upon the table d.
rected to Mr.. Scoville, the day and time OF
day when an attempt would be made upon
Mr.. Scoville's life was stated, also that they
would come from Norfolk. Va, l25 strong.
also showed him a letter more blood
thirsty and definite az to time and means
than those usually received by my brother
(the prisoner. He stated among other
things that SO far as the prisoner was con-
cerned his chief care was that he should not
escape.
This brought from me q very audible
smile and asked him if he could imagine
any place in this or any country where he
could escape except into very strong Jail.
also told him he did not care for his life
and did not wish to undertake the care of him
under any circumstances. but that should
do all in my power to have him go through
his trial without Interruptions that the Amer
lean people and the world might be convinc-
ed OF what know to be the fact that an in
sane man and not plotting william has as
sailed the verySlife of our republic, through
the assassination of a ruler elevated by the
people. He spoke of the money
which il had cost the government to bring
the witnesses for the defence. said thought
if the view l held could be established to the
satisfaction of all, it would be worth all it
was costing even to the government.
The issue of this case seemed to me to be
of little consequence to the prisoner or his
immediate friends, compared with the i'm
portance of showing that we had yet at least
reached the historical point in the downfall
of all republics, namely: The assassination
of the rulers by the people.
As TO the protection of Mr.. Scoville. he
said they had not men enough to detail a
guard for Scovile. | answered that de-
sired nothing of the kind, but wished the
proper authorities to be on the lookout for
any disturbance, and if necessary to use de-
tectives, as had been done in getting evidence
against the prisoner.

Seekers After Health.

Unfortunates who are seeking to renew
their health, are many. So often have they
been deceived by the advertisements of worth
less compounds. that many are discouraged,
and refuse to believe anything they read in
the papers. Therefore, the best advertise
ment of a really good medicine is the
reputation it has gained in places where it is
being sold. No other remedy ever discovered
has grown so rapidly in public favor as that
true medicinal tonic called Browns Iron
Bitters. In localities where its extraordinary
merits have become fully known and realized
by those who have been in ill-health, the
sale is Unprecedented. One druggist in our
city reports the sale of 23S bottles in one
week. 1t is, indeed, a wonderful, health
giving. lffe-saving preparation. 1t is soothing
and refreshing in its effect, and strengthens
every part of the body. and creates healthy
appetite and digestion, even when the system
is almost destroyed by the many hurtful
cathartics so commonly used. Reader, be-
ware! duty demands that you try Browns
Iron Bitters if your health is poor from any
cause.-Eaquirer. dec20d&wlw

English Comments.

New YORK, Dec %.
The Tribune's London dispatch says the
London Spectator trusts that Lord Granville
in replying to Blaine's Panama Dispatch will
notice quite an extraordinary discourtesy in
Blaines tone, and affirms it is nearly impo.-
sible to do business with government which
admits and repudiates in the same BREATH
treaty rights. and addresses Wanting para
graphs about its limtless, irresistible, military
strength to power whose rights on the
American continent are older than the United
States.
The Economist excuses the arrogance of
the dispatch in terms more CALLING than any
complaint, and quotes Lord Palmerston as
saving that the American government is al
lowed to take liberties in dispatches, because
such documents are often mere speeches. 1t
remarks that Blaine alludes in
style which in Europe. is not
considered permissible to military power of
the union, and declares the whole dispatch
read to q representative of a sovereign rul-
ing half of America is such Is if sent BY any
European power would involve q serious
menace.
