he has occupied since the trial began,
as a waiting room during recess. Before
leaving the court room he evinced con.
siderable nervousness, but on getting
away to the apartment seclusion his
usual composure and assurance soon re-
turned. He sent out for some apples,
with which he treated his attendants,
meanwhile chatting Familiarity and good
naturally. He was asked what he
thought the jury would do and replied,
81 think they will acquit me or dis
agree, don't your"
Within ten minutes after recess had
been taken the jury called to the bailiff
in waiting that they were ready with
their verdict. They were informed
that recess had been taken and Judge
Cox had left the court room, SO they
remained in their room until the court
reassembled.
Rumor that the jury had agreed was
quickly spread from one to another.
The crowd surged back into the the
court room and a%nxiously awaited what
all seemed to expect, a verdict of guilty.
The musty, antique room is devoid of
gas, and a score or more Of candles
which had been placed upon the desks
of the Judge, counsel and reporters, i'm
parted a weird and fancifully unnatural
aspect to the grim old place. The
shadows thrown upon the dark back
ground Of walls seemed like fitting
spectres to usher in the sombre process
sion of those who held in their hands
the destiny of human life.
First came the prisoner with a quick
nervous step, and as he seated himself
in the dock, perhaps for the last time,
the light of a solitary candle fell full
upon his face, which disclosed more
THAI its usuaEpalor. Not "a tremor of
the limbs or movement of the muscles
of the face wa observable as he threw
back his head and fixed his gaze upon
the door through which the jury were
to enter.
Judge Cox soon afterwards took his
seat, and the crier called order, and the
jury filed slowly into their seats. Every
sound was hushed ave the voice of the
clerk as he propounded to the foreman
the usual inquiry: Have you found a
verdictP
Clear and distinct came the reply:
We have.
What is your verdict, guilty or not
guiltyP
Guilty, as indicted.
The pent up feelings of the crowd
found expression in uproarous applause
of approval.
Order, order shouted the bailiffs.
ScovilIe attempted to address the
court, but was told to wait until the
verdict was complete.
When order was restored each juror
was called by name, and answered
promptly, guilty. AS the last name
was called the prisoner shrieked: My
blood will be upon the heads of that
jury; don't you forget it.
Scoville addressed the court, and in
reply Judge Cox informed him that
he would be allowed all the time that
was allowed b.. law to file exceptions or
to move in arrest of judgment.
Guiteau: God will avenge this out
rage:
Judge Cox then turned to the jury
and addressed them.

The Sign Lanpnage

Rev. Job Turner, mute pastor from
Staunton, Va, is entertaining the peo-
pie of St. Louis with pantomime de-
scriptions of Mexico and the Mexicans,
and is said to be very successful in talk
ing intelligibly with his whole body so
as to convey a clear idea of the facts he
observed and of his Impressions in re-
gard to them, humorous and otherwise.
To do this by means of poses and gest-
ures, unaided by conventional signs pre-
viously understood between him and
those whom he is addressing, is a re-
markable feat, and suggests the posi-
bility of establishing a system of uni
versal sign language, which could be
read the world over through the elo-
quence of its notions. The crude sign
language, which is the lingua franca of
the plains from Alaska to Guatemala,
is limited in it's scope. but readily un-
derstood by those who have to interpret
it for the first time, and might be de-
veloped into a much more satisfactory
means of communication for all who
have lost an arm or developed a game
leg or a crick in the neck.

A gentleman was driving about Lam

from Altoona, showing him the places
of interest, and, among others, pointed
out Wheatland, saying it was the home
of James Buchanan. "Who's James
Buchanan?' queried the Altoona gentle
man. Shocked beyond measure at the
question, the other replied: ''Why, is
it possible you never heard that he was
at one time president of the United
States?'' ''Oh, yes; had forgotten

none other than one of the Queens
equerries. Prince Frederick Augustus

Helena, holds the position of Ranger of
Windsor Park. The office is of course
a sinecure, a fat income, and fine res

Ascot races, when the neighborhood of
Windsor was thronged with the elite,

within the limits of a royal desmesne, It
became his duty, in accordance with
the sovereign's prerogative, to submit
the list of his intended guests to the
Queen for her approval before an invi-
tation could be issued. Her Majesty,
who, where her rights are concerned, is
more exact and precise about small OBJ

read over the list with care. Then she
sent for the prince, and told him that it
had her appreciation with but one ex-
ception. It did not include the name of
John Brown. She desired that he should
be invited. The prince said nothing,
but bowed low ard took his leave. On
the appointed day the party came off,
and Mr.. Brown was there; but he was
the only guest. The prince had obeyed

Notions About Death,

There are two popular notions about
death that, though they contradict one
another, have adherents throughout
Christendom. One is that what is
called a natural death takes place with
the ebb of the tide; the other, that it
occurs after midnight. in what are
called the small hours before dawn

expected, that the Black Rider, who

the day, when there were seven; but
there were five deaths in each of the

Subterranean Gables in France

Cast-iron pipes are now being made
to receive the underground telegraph
cable which in a few months will put
Paris in direct communication with
Marseilles. A hundred and fifty navvies
are engaged in this work, which is being
prosecuted from both ends along the
right bank of the Rhone, and following
the main roads. The pipes are laid at
a depth of more than q metre and q
half, and chambers for facilitating re-
pairs are arranged about every five
hundred metres; they are described as
resembling large cast-iron caldrons
with covers, and having apertures for
receiving the ends of the two pipes
which they connect. Every hundred
metres the pipes are united by cast-iron
couplings, which will also permit of in
speeding and repairing the cable; and
the joint between each pipe is made
with an Indian-rubber washer or lead
collar. The work is pushed forward
with vigor, and it is proposed eventual
ly to connect this cable, which will
traverse France from north TO south,
with the cables of the Mediterranean
and Atlantic.-Ir0n.

The Harvest Of Hair.

About the month of May the gather
ers of the lower order of trade, peddlers,
etc., commence harvesting; they come
to the villages at regular intervals. The
largest cut is made in Auvernia depart
ment (western France) during the an
nual fair, about St. Johns day, when
the gatherer, with his wares and shining
coin. most successfully tempts the I'M
sophisticated country girls and becomes
owner of the choicest of their hair at
the lowest possible price. The provin-
cial girl, as she is called, will make her
choice of merchandise or give orders fol-
something else. The scissors may at
once come into use, and accounts SET
tied or she may take advance payments
for her silken coils, to be cut at some
future time, the hair to grow until
time stipulated. Advances may be
made on the next four or five years.

The Musket's Persuasiyeneas,

General Steedman tells good story
which is applicable to the manner in
which the aristocratic Sixtieth Rifles re-
Gently skipped out in front of Ramleh,
and gave everything up to the Egyptians.
While near Nashville the general had q
negro regiment on the picket line, and a
bright young mulatto sergeant in COM
mand of a post got the drop on q rebel
post and captured the whole outfit. The
rebels were a crowd of housekeeping
young Virginians, and some of them
were badly wrought up by the idea of
having to surrender to s.lot of Mig
gers" General Steedman took their
commander, a fine young fellow, into his
tent, extended some little cOurtesies to
him, and in the course of the converse
ton said. lit was little tough, Lieu
tenant, to be taken in by colored soldiers,
but war has strange experiences"
.'Well, General said the other. setting
down bis glass, '.Tve been in the army
now nearly four years, and if Eve
learned any thing it has been a pro-
found respect for the musket. When
the muzzle is showed into my face, I
don't usually ask any questions as to
who's got hold of the breech.'
General Sherman tells nearly as good
story, in his book. He was standing
on the sidewalk in St. Louis when Cen
eral Lyon went out with his men to at
tack the secessionists at Camp jackson.
A young lady of General Sherman's ac-
quaintance-daughter of one of the most
aristocratic families in the city-was
standing on stoop near by, wringing her
hands and crying. She said her brothers,
cousins, and a number of acquaintance,
were in camp Jackson. and she was
certain they would all be killed, for they
were proud, high-spirited men, belong
ing to the best families in the city, and
they would die before they would yield.
General Sherman tried to console her
by saying that he had noticed that sons
of first-class families were usually not
any more willing to die than other peo-
pie. He continued his walk, and in a
little while met General Lyon returned
with the entire force at Camp jackson,
which had surrendered without firing q
gun. He fastened back to comfort the
young lady with news of her kinsmen's
safety, but after she heard it she
slammed the door in his face.
