Buying Guiteau's Body.

While Mr.. Scovlle was at work in
his office in Washington on Friday
last, man whom he did not know
entered the room lie introduced
himself, saying he had come on bust
ness errand. lie had, he added, a
business proposition to make, and
hoped that Mr.. Scoville would then
and there be ready to close with the
offer. Il have GOMEZ said the man,
'to offer you $1,000 for the body of
Guitcau.' Mr.. Scoville was, of course,
greatly astonished, and at first thought
he might have q crank TO deal with.
The man, however, very speedily per-
suaded Mr.. Scoville that he was no
crank, but had made the offer in good
faith, and was ready upon signing the
proper papers to hand Mr.. Scoville
the cash. 1t was suggested that pos
sibly Guiteau might escape the gal
lows. The man said he had thong Int
of all that, but felt go confident of
Guiteau's conviction and hanging
that he was ready TO run the risk. He
would pay Mr. Scovile $1,000 upon
the contract TO deliver 70 him the dead
body of Guiteau, and would take the
risk Of Guiteau not being hanged
He was extremely anxious to close
the bargain at once, and seemed some.
what relieved when he learned that
Mr. Scoville had not otherwise dis
posed of the body, nor in fact, had
received any proposition for it. This
proposition was submitted to Guiteau
and seemed to impress him favorably.
After rejecting a moment, nc said :.
Il think l ought to bring more than
that. PERHAPS some other follow will
offer two thousand dollars. Then can
pay my debts, and if l get a new fri
al that miserable Corkhill can't bring
on lot of fellows just to swear how
much / owe them Mr.. Scoville fin.
ally said that he would give the man
an answer tomorrow, and promised
not to entertain any other proposition
u1til he had again seen the man.
Tonight Mr.. Scoville decided TO ac>
cept the offer. lie will tomorrow
sign the paper, promising to deliver
to the man Guiteau's body immedi,
ately after the authorities are through

News from Accra has confirmed
the report which at first seemed too
atrocious for belief, of the massacre
OF 200 young girls by the King of
Ashantee. The dusty monarch who
has been guilty of this crime is the
brother OF King Koffee Kalkalli, who
was defeated by Sir Garnet Wolseley,
and afterward dethroned. When the
present sovereign seemed to be threat.
enng Cape Coast Castle, last summer,
reinforcements were forwarded to the
British Governor from Sierra Leone !:
whereupon the Ashantee King replied
by presenting to Queen Victoria his
royal golden axe. This was at first
understood by some hasty commenta.
tors rs an insult, or as sign Of his
strong desire to cut off her head. But
it wa, soon known to be as pacific
an implement rs Koffee KalkaIli's
royal umbrella, which is also among
the Queens knick.knacks. The
Ashantee Kings raid turned out to
be directed against his neighbors, the
Faults, for building material. He
needed to repair one Of the red clay
walls III his palace at Coomassie, and
accordingly he ordered to he cap
tured two hundred girls, who
should be murdered in order that
their maidenl blood might moisten the
clay and mix the mortar. This Zero.
cious mandate has been carried ont.

Wood for Paper.-A correspon-
dent of the Lynchburg Virginian,
writing from Rockbridge county, oil
the line of the Richmond and Allie

was attracted to-day by seeing a freight
car loaded at Gilmore's Mills with
poplar wood. and on inquiry I found
that it was to be shipped to PhiladeI.
phia for the purpose of making paper.
My informant told me that this was
his first shipment, but he expected to
build mp large and profitable trad e
OF this kind; and if so, il will open
up branch Of business that must
bring u good deal of money into
the country. His present engagement
is to furnish the wood ut $40 per cord
in Philadelphia, where. by chemical
process now in extensive use, it will
be converted into pulp, and then into
paper. White or yellow poplar and
lynn is the wood used for the purpose,
which must be cut when the sap is up,

Look Under the Buggy Seat,

quite commotion was created at Rock
Island one day last week by horse coming
tearing into town, hitched to buggy, and
an old hen sitting on the buggy seat. The
horse was stopped: and the hen bit and
scratched, and flew around, and everybody
was excited, and the body of the buggy was
covered with broken eggs Those who CAP
tured the horse found a piece of dress-skirt
tangled in the forward wheel of the buggy,
and mans straw hat with fresh perspira-
ton on the band inside The policeman
who came up saWa tragedy had been enact
ed, and the crowd went up the road where
the buggy came from, expecting to find the
CORY corpses strewn along the highway
About mile out of town they found young
man and girl sitting beside the road on a
stump, and he had pulled off his coat and
thrown it over her lap, and she was hys-
tcr'cky and wouldn't be comforted, and the
young fellow acted as though he would take
it kindly ifsome one would blow his brains
cut. The policeman took him one side, and
after rconsiderable pumping found out that the
girl had jumped out Of the buggy one way
and he had jumped out the other, and that
her dress had caught OH the wheel and torn half
the skirt OFT. 1t seemed that they lived about
|
little ride. The buggy had been under the shed
for week or two, and a hen had made nest un-
der the seat, laid eggs, and had concluded to set.
When the young fellow hitched up the horse the
hen remained on the nest. and for few miles she
held her own, but the buggy ran over stone and
capsized the hen, and she began to pick at the
girls stockings and futter around under the seat,
which frightened the girl and the horse. The girl
| jumped out, when the hen began to walk up the
young mans trousers, and he jumped out, too,
leaving the hen to drive the runaway horse The
| girl did not know what it was under the scat
fooling with her stockings, and when she thought
it might be snake, or q highway robber, she lost
