ABOUT READING.

Reading is good thing. So is eat.
ing. Both may be abused. There is
a mental as well physical dyspepsia.
We are nation of dyspeptics physical
and we fear may be rapidly be-
coming such mentally. Our literary
food, like our dinner must be highly
seasoned IN order to suit the modem
palate. We gulp down our daily
newspaper as we do our breakfast. 1t
must be sensational and spicy or we
pass it by. Tie result is We are great
readers but not we'll read. The old
saying of "beware of the man of one
book" has lost its point for where he
to be found! We take and read our
daily, and the current weeklies
and monthlies, but who can tell from
memory what idea, argument, incident
or fact he learned from day before yes
:erday's paper. Not one in five hun
dred. In at one ear and out at the
other. The facts, ifany are retained,
are jumbled with a hundred others; the
argument has been forgotten. Like
the reeolleetions of a railway journey it
IS only a mass of blurred and fleeting
images without relation or sequence.
They only reach the surface Of the balm
they do not enter it. Evidently such
reading is Of little account. 1t bears
same relation to the reading for culture
that whiskey drinking and gluttony
does to honest fsod. The less of it
the better. When books were few and
newspapers scarce there were fewer
readers but that few we're
better readers. Better in this,
they mastered the idea, thought and
style OF their author. The average
reader ofto-day reads only to kill time
or to satisfy habit. Mental culture,
mental improvement, or the acquisi-
tion of ideas is the least and last thing
to be considered: Hence we find that
the modern reader when called upon,
to give an account of his mental stock
finds it composed, too often, of trifes
and remnants only. He has the fag
ends Of many fine ideas but not
enough Of any one for whole gar
ment. With all his reading his is but
4 mental bankrupt. One fact, well
mastered in all the bearings, relations,
and effects is worth mountain of such
stuff. Hence we find many men of
whom 1t may be said their heads are
like "attics" full of odds and ends and
useless trumpery. Our advice to the
young man or woman is read, read,
read, but read judiclously. Do not be
in haste to read everything for nine.
tenths of it is not worth the candle. {
One good book well mastered and
made your own by assimilation will be
a pleasure and benefit for a lifetime. A
thousand lily selected, swallowed hasti-
y and forgotten, only leave your mind
more bankrupt than before.

Its COST.

The following estimate has been
made of the probable cost of the Gui-
teau trial. What the exact figures will
be cannot be positively stated. The
fees for the jury will amount to $3.50,
divided as follows: For five $642; for
four, $50, for three, $sSS. Their
board bill for seventy two, days at the
National Hotel, together with that Of
the three ballffs in attendance, will
reach $1,000 or $500. For witness
es, including mileage, there has been
paid out $S,o7S,S5. OF this sum $5,-
1885 was paid in behalf of the Gov
eminent and $2,SS9 for the defendant
and Of the latter $3S9,25 went 10 the
Gurteau family and their connections.
For reporting and printing the trial and
papers used in the case preparatory to
the hearing it is estimated that $1,000
will be required. For seven deputy
marshals used in the halls and the
chamber $1,soa will be necessary
Then there are the miscellaneous ex-
penses to cover, such as physicians
charges, medicine, chairs for the court
room and inc,dentals too numerous to
mention, and which will take about
81 900 to cover. The fees to be paid
to Judge Porter and Mr.. Davidge rest
with the department of Justice, but will
be about $1,000 each. The total foots
up something in the neighborhood OF
$50, 900 in round figures.

SENTENCED.
Guiteau to be Hanged on the 3Oth
Of June.
The Prisoner Boisterous.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February a.
Expectation is general that to-day
will bring to close the spec
tacle of Guiteau in court. 1t is FORE
gone conclusion that Cox will overrele
the motion for new trial. At 1890
the judge rendered his decision declin-
ing to grant the new t,ial, and there
upon sentenced the prisoner to be
hanged on the goth day of June, be-
tween the hours of IL and 2. The
prisoner remained quiet until the sent
ence was announced, when he became
boisterous and denounced the Judge
and jury in hard language. The SER
tence, of coune, meets with the approv-
al of all present. The prisoner was
hurried out of the court room into the
van, to be carried to Jail.
Judge Cox Ito the prisoner), "Stand
up. Have you anything to say why
sentence Should not be passed upon
you!"
Guiteau (still sitting)-.'I ask your
Honor to postpone sentence as long as
possible"
Judge Cox-"stand up. Have you
anything to say why sentence should
not now be pronounced upon you!"
The prisoner then arose,

cock took his departure very quietly
fiom the Southern Hotel last Saturday
night. He came down, paid his bill
and walked out and took his seat in the
omnibus, going to the Iron Mountain
depot, where he took the 1890 train
for Little Rock. There was nothing
curious about this to anybody except
those who remembered his visit here
when he was looked upon as candidate
for the presidency, with as good chance
of nomination and election. Then he
was actually beset by callers, SO that he
had to hide himself at a private house
to escape being button-holed to death.
His unceremonious departure Saturday
night must have struck him as strange
instance of what changes time will
bring about.
