1t is learned that Guiteau's wife procured g.
divorce from him in Kings County, n. Y, in
1874, on the ground of infdelity. Guiteau
made no defense. and the woman with whom
it was alleged his laison was carried on appear
ed as q witness for the plaintiff. At the same
time the defendant was prominent worker in
the Young Mems Christian Association in New
York city and member of the Baptist church.
Guiteau seems to be rather pleased than
otherwise at his present quarters. He is afraid
that If he should get outside the prison walls
he would be melted out speedy justice. The
other day when asked to go down into the
wardens Office he very reluctantly consented,
fearing that it was a ruse to get him into the
peoples hands. The ccwardly scoundrel yet
expresses a wish that the President may die.

Lizzie Mcguire is the name of a young
girl residing in New York who, having
failed to pass the examination necessary
to admission to the Normal School, went
out and tried to drown herself. OF
curse she was primarily driven to this
by the disappointment consequent upon
her failure, which was the more discour-
aging as she had set her heart on qualify
ing herself for the duties of a school
teacher. There cannot, however, be much
doubt that she would have borne the re-
verse with proper fortitude but for the
strain upon her nervous system from the
s-trenuousness of her fruitless study.
Girls who 60 or who want to go to public

STAR ROUTE SCANDALS.

The following is from the Salt Lake
Tribune of the 22d instant The Tri-
bune yesterday contained a long dispatch
from Washington reciting the particulars
Of a Star Route scandal involving the
names of some we'll known Salt Lake
persons. That the facts are substantially
as represented is probably true. 1t is
unfortunate that under the laws and the
administration of the Postoffice Depart
ment such crooked transactions were
possible; yet when the laws did not pre-
vent, and the regulations permitted, it
would be idle to expect other results
than the public are now being surfeited
with. There will no doubt be other
revelations Of like nature, and touching
routes all around us, as the developments
appear to be fast reaching westward. No
doubt, as that was the system, it was
practiced on pretty much all the routes
throughout the country; but those in the
Territories offered, by their length and
the wildness and rugged nature of the
country, peculiar facilities for demands
for increased pay on account of ex-
pediting, and of increased number of
trips. 1t seems a marvel, however, that
the system was permitted to flourish to
such an extent as it did, and to endure
year after year, without attracting the
general attention not only of everybody
about the department but of the entire
Administration. 1t can hardly be posi-
BILE that Brady alone could do SO much
dishonest and scandalously ~extravagant
work without the knowledge Of the whole
Cabinet, and even Of the Congressional
committees as well. That the commit
tees of each branch Of Congress, on Post
offices and post roads, were acquainted
with the Stag Route ~rascalities. must be
assumed to be true; and the only reason
why an exposure and a stop were not in
terposed, is probably because party men
of both parties did not wish it.
As to the general plan Of procedure,
a late Washington dispatch gives this
outline
The Government expects to be able to
prove that the Star Route ring p~lundered
the Treasury to the extent of nearly n
million dollars. A great many special
agents are investigating the Territorial
routes, and reports which have recently
been received show extensive frauds.
There is a great deal of volunteer evil
dence also from persons on the frontier,
who say they have been robbed by the
contractors. All this evidence is care
fully briefed, indexed, prepared for pre-
sentation to the jury and locked in a safe.
Its contents are only known to the Post
master-G General, the Attorney-Genera
and the assistant prosecutors. None of
it will be made public until the Grand
Jury meets, and then only enough will
be presented to this body to secure in
dictments.

An Eastern exchange says that the
stories Of Blaine's illness have stirred the
sympathies Of all the patent medicine
men and quack doctors in the country,
and every day the mail carrier and ex-
press wagons bring him boxes of pills,
and bottles of lotions, and washes, and
e~lixirs, warranted to cure every disease
under the SUM-. Accompanying these is
a note from the proprietor of the medi-
cine to Mr.. Blaine, promising to cure if
the medicine is used, and only asking in
return that Mr.. Blaine write a note say
ing how much good the medicine has
done him. He will 0 be able to stock
a drug store. Doubtless a stalwart trick
to kill him, but the burly old dog never
tastes Of the stuff.

Our LORDS Resurrection.

Let us look at the immediate consequences
of our Lords resurrection. From that time
he lived not in the world; he dwelt apart.
Before his death he told his disciples "The
world seeth me no more" He had dis
charged his mission and done forever with
its pursuits lie would not obtrude his glory
on the Jews, or again renew his offers of
forgiving mercy. Where he lived we know
not. When he appeared it was with his dis
ciples; and the only record we have of his
actions during this period, is that he spent
his time in instructing them-in teaching
them the things concerning his kingdom.
Every syllable told us proclaims that while
he was yet in the world he was not of the
world. And thus it is that the Christian
lives when this change has been wrought
upon his soul. He does not pass away at
once from the earth to that inheritance to
which he trusts he has gained title, but is
obliged for time to tabernacle in this lower
world, and to dwell among his brethren,
waiting the summons "Come up hither p
And often, we are aware, the Christian sor-
rows that it is so. He looks at the warfare
before him, and feels that he would rather
be at once transported to blessedness, and
thus saved the WEAKNESS of the conflict and
the possibility of defeat. He would enter
at once into Canaan, and not be left, even
for moment, wanderer in the desert.
And yet, like his Lord, must he not tarry
awhile before he goes up to the Mount of
Ascension Is there not still work for him
to do before the clouds receive him out Of
sght-brethren, partakers of his trials, with
whom he must remain-and holy lessons he
must teach for the benefit of sinful world ?
Yes, and perhaps it is for this reason that he
is left to hope and wait for his salvation,
through long years of toll and care, and
striving against sin. When, therefore, he
does depart to his rest, the world he leaves
has reason to rejoice that he was permitted
thus long to remain, and the fragrance of
many holy deed lives after him-the rich
legacy he has bequeathed to those who are
still lingering here.-Rev. DR.. w. /. Kip.

Got Nothing.

There was poor woman who had one
child, the Joy Of her heart, the one ewe-lamb
of her household She worked for it early
and late But there came a time, when one
day it sickened. She watched it by day
and carried it in her arms at night. But
she could not keep the little heart beating or
the body warm so it was taken away and
laid in the cold ground. She felt puzzled,
crushed. 1t was a bright morning, the
chureh-bells were ringing, aud she thought,
81 will go and hear what the preacher has
TO say" She crept in after the service had
commenced, and took retired seat. The
organ was playing soft low tune; the
hymn was soothing-some of our music is
still devotional. The clergyman arose and
announced his text. She lifted her veil and
raised her eager, trembling face toward
him. Did he tell her-that not sparrow
falleth to the ground without our Father in
heaven, or did he tell how that heavenly
Father pitieth his children, and gave his
only-begotten Son for our sins and sorrows 7
No, he told her about Louis Napoleon She
waited till the congregation had passed out.
There were among them happy mothers,
leading dear little children. She grasped
the gate post at the side of the church-door,
in the weakness of despair, and said, there
is no God.-Chrisiidn InteLligencer.

The Three Stems.

Mr.. Harvey once met with some friends in
village who spoke to him of poor, half.
witted man whom they judged to be well
grounded in the truth. Mr.. Harvey resolved
to see the poor man, who went by the name
of Foolish Dick" and to enter into conver.
sation with him. They had not talked long
together before Mr.. Harvey said: " Well
Richard, do you love the Lord Jesus
Christ ?" The answer was To be sure
do; don't you ?" After little more con.
versation, Mr.. Harvey observed, Heaven is
long way off, and the journey thither is
difficult" Poor Dicks reply was Do you
think so? think heaven is very near
Mr.. Harvey then said Most people think
it very difficult matter to get to heaven" "
The answer was still the same that heaven
was near, and the way to it very short there
were only three steps to heaven. "Only
three steps !" Mr.. Harvey replied. "Only
three steps" rejoined poor Dick. "And
pray" said Mr.. Harvey, "what do you con-
slider those three steps to be ?" '"Those
three steps are" said Dick, "out of self,
into Christ, and into glory"
