President Is the same who lived with us
some years ago. His name is Charles Julius
Guteau. He must be about forty years old
nc this time. His father was Luther W.
Guteau, for many years cashier OF The Sec
ond National Bank OF FreepOrt, III. The
elder Guiteau was one OF the finest men TO
be found anywhere. He had considerable
literary ability, aud often contributed lei
ters TO our Community publications. He
was never a member, but sympathized in &
large measure with the sentiments OF Mr..

YOUNG GUITEAU JOINS THE COMMUNITY.
"His son Charles Julius was a rather
rattle headed young man, and very unman-
ageabIe. Ills father induced bin to come
here 10 hopes OF bis reform. II was mainly
through our respect and sympathy for the
father that we consented to receive him. In
fact, he never was really member 10 full
and good standing. He had not been with Us
longer than a week or 50 before Mr.. NOyes
set him down As bad bOy-one not to be
trusted He was full Of egOtlstic eccen-
tricitles, and his self.cOnceited way was so
owe. whelmng that be was a laughiDg-stOck
and nuisance tue whole time he was with
us. He came to us on the 20lh Of June,
1860; he lett us April 3, 1865, and returned
July 8, the same year. The second and
| last time he left here was on November |,
| 1866,
DIsOkDERED MIND.
| 4" He was extremely erratc, and his ego
| tism was so great that it was really phase
OF Insanity. His mind was diSordered con-
tInually with hobbies OF all sorts ana de-
scriptions for instance, when here he was
a member Of our debating society. In his
stvIe of debate he was original always, Or
tried TO be. When his turn came to speak
he would rise and say, AS the honorable
| gentleman has brought nothing worthy OF
rebuttal be has nothing to rebuff. Another
characteristic was this In directing pack
ages he would write, c. .. Dr. and then
: On delivery right after the letters. Once
in lecture he prepared for our evening
exercises be had written in these words in
! the manuscript: II the audience will now
excuse me will take of my coat lie used
to work now and then in our trapfactery !;
he marked the goods for shipping in large,
| beautiful round letters. One Of his many
| idhosyncrases was to mai k a large clrd with
this inscription:
"'CHARLEs j. GUITEAU,
Premier Of England,
will deliver q lecture in
| St. James Hall, London
"This be kept fastened to the wall before
him. He imagined himself some great dig
nitary or other all the time. Fame and
wealthy stations filed bis thoughts by day
and night.
THEOCRAT.
Well, in April, 1865, he left us for The
| first time. He said he was going away to
start paper to advocate his pet theory. He
thought Of thcCcracy continually. He fan
cied himself able 10 fetch the world TO MS
feet. He did actually 90 t. HobOken, n.
j., where he got out with a grand flourish
an immense high.sounding prospectus OF a
newspaper which he chilled The Ihe0Crdt.
At this time he was living In poor fashion
i'm sort OF garrett. When he left us We
gave him the usual amount OF cash we did to
every member who withdrew from the
| Community. 1t was perhaps 800 or 5000.
II Pm not mistaken we returned him some
money be brought with him when he Joined

JOYS AND QUITS TIE SHAKERS.
"Well, as | was telling you, be gave UP
| his idea Of the paper lie proposed TO pub
fish, and next drlfled into the Shakers So
| ciety at Lebanon. He remained with them
scarcely any time az all. The Shakers re-
qulred great Industry, and they did not re-
ceiye him cordially any way; 50 he left
them as be did everything else with which
he tried to become associated"
