a beautiful memorial window, me-

know, generations yet unborn, that
may visit it long after the building

TIE GUITEAU TRIAL.

Washington, Nov. 22d, the second
week of Guiteau's trial.
Gniteau arrived ut 8 o'clock, in the
van. Immediately upon the opening
of the court Mr.. Robinson arose and
addressed the court for the purpose Of
calling attention to- an article in the
Post in which Mr.. Scoyille said that be
should regret 10 withdraw from the
case. Mr.. Robinson criticised in Sc
we're terms the discourtesy he had re-
ceiyed from Mr.. Seville.
He was here interrupted by Cult, all
who broke in with, Your Honor, ]
want Robinson to stop in the case"
Mr.. Robinson requested the court to
grant him discharge from the case
and said lie could not, with self res
pect, remain in association with Mr..
Scoville.
Guiteau broke out again and said,
"that's an able speech andI agree
with most Of it,
The prosecution have rested their
case and it remains tolbe seen what
the defence will do.
AT the opening Of the case on the
part Of the defence Guiteau was al
lowed to open his defence by a short
speech which he made sitting he said
lie wished to correct some errors. He
denied owing twenty dollars ;she ex-
pected to be put upon The stand exam,
lined and cross.examined.
I Mr.. Scoyille then laid his line of.de.
fence before the jury and said the ques-
tions at issue were simply whether
fGuiteau killed the President and
whether The prisoner was responsible
for the net. Court adjourned. n
Nov. %. Court opened las usual and
Mr.. Go w. Old was put upon the
stand and made Gpiteau fool from

enough to weed turnips, soap his faith

Massachusetts, in the year 1882.
Congress appropriated $4,000 to
make a trial of his invention. The

DANIEL WEBSTER,

The great American statesman
and jurist was IA years old before
he first enjoyed the privilege of a
few few months schooling at an
Academy.
The man whose eloquence was af.
terward to stir the nations was then
so shy that he could not muster
courage to speak before the school.
His reply to Haync of South Caro-
lima, contained those memorable
words familiar to every school boy,
:" Liberty and Union, now and for
ever, one and inscparaole.' Web
ster was never called to the Presi-
Dental char, but like Clay, al
though he might have honorea that
position, he needed itnot to enhance
his renown.
His death called out, it is said, a
greater number of orations than any
other since that of George Wash

RAIL ROADS
Although it is to Stephenson, an
Enslishman, that we are indebted
for the adoption Of steam to Loco
motives on railroads; still America
takes the lead il railroad construc-
ton.
During the last half century,
more than $4,000 miles Of railroad
have been built ; and the climax
was reached in this regard in 1869,
when the famous Pacific railroad
was completed. This road is 1900
miles long, and it completes the un>
ion between the Atlantic and the
Pacific.
In one week the traveller can pass
from Boston to San Francisco.
This great highway has linked
the. West to the East by iron bands,
has carried thousands Of persons in
to the hitherto wild country along
its route, developed fresh resources
of industry and mines Of wealth,
and opened up the products Of the
United States to the civilized world.
American ingenuity has solved the
problem which failed the olden nayi.
gators, and has made for itself q
route to India. The last tie con-
Meeting the two lines was laid with
much ceremony at Ogden, May, 10,
1879. 1t was Of polished lance
wood bound withsilycr bands. Three
spikes were used gold one, pre-
sentcd by California ; Q silver one,
by Nevada; and a gold, silver and
iron one by Arizona. The strokes
of the hammer were telegraphea all

The gold spike was driven by
President Grant, the living model
statesman.
