The stage drivers on the Harper and
Medicine Lodge line have novel way
of inducing their mules to cross Elm
Creek. Just before reaching the stream,
they crack their whips, tickle the leaders

of Apache warriors. This scares the
mules and they go into the creek on a

Charles Guiteas.'s Crime.

Your bastard act fills every soul with dread;
Your infamy makes every patriot start,
Because when firing at the nations nead,
You shot it through the heart.
The plea of insanity already raised
in GUITEAU's case is not, fortunately,
such as can snatch the lie of the mis-
cradle wretch from the grasp of the
law. 1t is the insanity Of disappoint-
ment 10 not having been able to
wiring fron the Administration a
position that would have given him
an easy living. His case is similar
to that of a burglar who breaks into a
house, and failing to force its inma'e
to reveal where his money is conceal
ed cuts his throat in his bed. TIE
wretched criminal has by all accounts
been in training for the gallows from
his earliest days. His political cpiu-
ions have not crazed him. The pre-
tense he makes Of being "stalwart'
proves that he is perfectly sane, and
that he resorted to that statement in
the hope of being set down as a polit-
ical monomaniac and thus saving his
miserable life. He was one of the
boiling Republicans who tried to elect
GREELEY for President, and he then
attempted to extort from the GREE
LEY Democracy the pledge of an Of
fee He has been constant appii-
cant at the Secretary of States ofice
and at the White House for several
weeks past, and has almost demanded
an appointment. Mr.. BLAINE was
compelled to tell him that he could
not receive any consideration, and
he was turned out Of the White
House or refused admission All
this time he professed to be 10 warm
political accord with the Administra-
ton, and he gave the President and
Secretary BLAINE as his references,
in the boarding houses at which he
lived 10 Washington, until turned
out for non-payment ofhis bills. All
this shows that his "stalwart" dodge
was adopted at the eleventh hour to
give color to the plea Of insanity, and
will be one of the proofs Of delibera-
tion on his trial which will consign
him to the hangman's hands we hope.

THE CRIME AGAINST THE
NATION.

Since the assassination Of ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN the whole country and
the world, has not been 50 shocked
and grieved as by the dastardly act
of the man CHARLES GUIrEAu. He,
good for-nolhiDg vsgabond and
scoundrel. has deliberately aimed q
blow at our beloved country and a
beloved family. In such moment
as this no American can fail to extend
his tenderest sympathies to the Press
ident's stricken family. The grief
Mrs GARFIELD and fher children
| is q sorrow which We all share. When
the angel Of death hovers over the
White House every citizen feels as If
the dread monster was present in his
own home Political differences are
at On end 10 this sad moment and
eyrey heart mourns with those who
have the most cause to mourn, end as
it we're, we gather around the bedside
If him whom the assassin has stricken
down, in penitsntial sorrow. Many,
many prayers have gone up to Him
who has all ia his hands, for the res
toration to health Of our much below
ed President. The Presidents re-
covery, for which so many millions
pray, will be almost miraculous in
view of the cool determination Of the
assassin, the character Of the weapon
used aud the nature OF the wounds.
1t will be accepted ss the Intervention
Of Providence IN behalf Of the strick-
en- nation and snrrovipg family, and
it will be the fault Of bad men if the
crime which has brought the Presi=
dent SO near to death does not, on his
recovery, prove beneficial to the Re-
public 1t cannot, however, fail ia
allay the bitterness of political strife.
But the FIRST aud prevailing feeling
caused BY this news will he one Of
thankfulness that the threatened ir-
reparable affection promises to be
spared to the Presidents beloved
wife, children and mother.

from beneath her shawl huge
black snake whip, and without
apology proceeded to play it around
Porter's head and face ard neck and
back. Too much surprised at first
the victim could not speak; involuu-
tarily he threw up his arms to pro-
toct his head, and made a dash for
his ottice-but in front of him stood
heuhnle, who, with threatening
lnien and language more forcible
than elegant prevented this means
of retreat And still the blows
rained thick and fast. Porter slow
y dragged himself down Sixth
street, while mocking, jeering
crowd urged the woman to harder
blows. Scarce a sound escaped the
humiliated doctor, but his face was
p sight for an artist. Fear, anger,
fren2y were depicted in every Inca
meut. The man who had boosted
of bis easy victories over female vir-
tue, was being beaten with many
stripes at the hands of a woman.
But there was no time for him to
moralize- His thoughts evidently

Gus blows run faster every time, and

man wild He reached the hallway
leading to Argo 81 kelly's office, and

second steps. Here was his chance
OF safety, and to show his bravery
the soundly cowhided Doctor turned
and mado kick at keuhnle, who
had accompanied his wife through
all her qualifications. This attack
excited Keuhnle's ire, and be grab
bed the leeing disciple of Esculu-
plus, dragged him back to the street,
and then as the wife re.opened the
battle the husband added interest
compound, by striking him about
the head and face with his well de-
yoloped fist.
The crowd by this time had grown
to a mob, but while there was evil
