PRECAUTIONS AGAINST tSSASiNA.

1t is natural that in the Outbulst Of
popular sympathy and Indignation,
the propriety Of ailording special pro-
lection to the person Of our Chief Mag

little reflection, however, will mako it
plain that no array of police and
soldicry can assure absolute safety to
the executive head of State. And
even where Il constitutional or elective
ruler grounds his title in the trust and
affection Of the community, he is sill,
like private individuals, at the mercy
of design or caprice, cngCndcrcd in q

The futility Of special precautions on
the part of autocrats against assassina-

A Romantic Ducking.

A romantic story comes from Clayton, one of the many sesorts on the St. Law. renee. Almost every, day this summer the daughter of a wealthy Ottawa mer- chant has been sailing along the Ameri- can shore trolling for large fish. One afternoon last week a young American named Rice was rowing in his paper shell near Gov. Alvord's Island, about half mile from the shore, on looking around he saw the young Canadian women struggling with her oars and the trolling line attached to her right arm drawn taught. She evidently had a large muscaloDge or sturgeon and was endeavoring to pull around with her larooard oar so as tofollow the fish grad ually. In her excitement she leaned too far to the starboard side and tum- bled Into the water. Rice with q few pulls at his souls. quickly reached the unfortunate young woman and caught her by the arm. The combined weight of the two upset his shallow she'll and in a twinkling boih were struggling in the water. The trolling line was still attach~ ed to the young lady's arm, while she clung to her boat, and the fish seemed to he pulling Rice, his fair charge, anu the boat down the stream rapidly. Rice
 
 getting into the fair Canadians boat and then pulled her in af(er him. She ap- peared but little frightened, and said she q similar experience before, on tbese occasions she had been obliged 10 rescue herself During the explanation Rice noticed that the trolling 'lne was still fast to her arm ard the young wo- man had not reiinqmshed her hold of it, Convinced that something large was at the other end of the line he pulled t. Tn as rapidly as possible and was over- joyed at seeing a mammoth muscal0nge rise to the surface. It was quickly SC. cured, and the young Canadian, forget, ting her wet clothes and mishap, seem. ed delighted. She insisted tbat her res. cuer should take the musoalonge, and he accepted it, with the understanding that he should accompany her hereafter Tn her fishing trips. The young woman is beautiful, the young man gallant: more anon.

CANNOT DEFEND GUITEAU.
Why Gen. Butler Declines to Take Charge of tho Case cf the Presidents
 Assassin.

Gen Butler has addressed the following letter to Mr. Geo, scovile, Guiteau's coun- sell
 DEAR SIR-I have the honor to acknowl- edge the receipt of your letter of the 10th inst, which did not come to my hands un- til after bad m lde snswsr to newspaper correspondent about the case of Guiteau, containing the following strong appeal on your part: T appeal to you for the sake of justice, and to save the American people the disgrace of historic record that sane citizen of the republic would assassinate the president, to accept inc defence of Guiteau Will you not act if assigned as counsel by the courtfn
 have waited before I answered your letter to see what time would be assigned for the trial by the court, 90 as to ascertain if my professional engagements would per init me even to entertain your request. see by the newspapers, which I suppose are correct, that the trial IS peremptorily set for Nov :, proximo.
 If the trisl was set for time when could possibly devote r4yself to this case, should very carefully weigh your applica- ton before I refused it. 1 hold it to be 2 part of the chivalry of my profession that no lawyer within the circuit where he practices ought, without good cause to re I ger before court of justice, whether his 1 personal belief might be that the accused was innocent or guilty; and of course the amount of compensation in the case ought ! not to become makeweight in the ques- l ton.
 The admirable examble set by Otis, one of the "Sons of Liberty" in face of popu- 1 lar prejudice, defending the kings off. ctrs for shooting down the citizen of Boston in King street (now State street,, has been the rule of my professional life, and ought be the guide ofeyery lawyer. The considerations which move me in declining this trial are that it of necessity would be prolonged one; that every hour from now to the day of trial should be given by counsel to the preparation of the questions of law aud fact. in order that his action might not be snare to the accused instead of defence My professional en- agreements, which maze my time and serv- ices for the next ninety days, at least, the property of my clients who have placed their interests in my hands, causes my duty as lawyer to be, first of all, to serve them During most of that time shall be actually in court if life and health are spared.
 This view of my duty as a lawyer and advocate prohibits my yielding to your ap plication and giving you a reply.
 Trusting that you will appreciate as fully as they weigh upon me the necessities which forbid any different answer to your note, I am, very truly yours,

Arrived from the Arttc.

The revenue cutter Thomas Corwin ar rived in San Francisco from the Arctic Her news was anticipated. She has on board nine seamen of the Daniel Webster At St. Michael they learned of the loss oi three vessels in Gallowin bay, Aug. 15; name not ascertained. A letter per the Corwin reports very heavy weather in the Arctic. The steamer while attempting to make sound, loading in Wrange land, had her rudder disabled and was oblidged to cut away in the breakers to save the ship. On Chamesso island they found an astronomi- cal station bearing an inscription of several British ships, including Fl. B NJ. s. Blossom, 1926; Herald, 1S4S, over 184g; Russian American company expedition, 1888 At Elephant point nearly the entire skeleton of a mammoth with the remains of an Aurock musk.ox and reindeer were fouud John Muir. ihe scientist, who was on the cutter Corwin during the recent Arctic cruise, places no confidence in the story O. the wreck and four whites seen to the east ward told by the Indians. He says the h. dians on that coast are cuRsumate liars and make up all kinds of stories to retail to the whites. The Esquimaux have great facility for transporting news along the coast, and such information as the Indians furnished would have been widely disseminated and obtainable in multitude of ways.

TIE first manufactory of translucent porcelain in the United States as recently been established in New Orleans by Mir. Eugene surgi, who has engaged the services of Mir. de'Estampes, formerly director of porcelain factory at Vierzan, France. The latter had already started the business in New Orleans in small way, but was import ing his kaolin from France, being ignorant that kaolin of the requisite quality could be obtained in this country. The firm of capitalists who took over the business of Mir. d'Estampes for the purpose of conducting it on a large scale caused search to be made for the proper kind of kaolin, and ultimately found 1t in Robertson county, Texas, on the line of Houston X Texas Central Railroad. The first batch of the new porcelain has just been drawn from the kiln, and is said to be excellent ware, though little off color from the damp ness of new kiln.

Our New Secretary.

The name of ex. Gov. K. D. Morgan of New York was sent to the senate by the president in nomination for tho secretary. ship of the treasury. There was much swrprise in the senate when the envelope containing tue nomination was opened on the vice-president's table and found to con- tain but one name. Everybody expected that the nomination of ex-senator Howe to be attorney-general would come in with that of Morgan, and everyone stood non. plussed for the moMent. Senator Logan and others of the near friends of the presi- dent went over to the executive mansion to ascertain the cause for the change in the course of the fprocedure. They returned satisfied, but somewhat uncOmmunicative
