Mr.. ScOyiIic Preparing His AppIica-
tion-Guitcau the Only Sansuinc
One.

WASHINGTON, january 25.-Mr. ScOyilc
is busily engaged in preparing his applica-
ton for n new trial. His motion will be
made Saturday, and Judge Cox will assign
day early next week upon which to hear
the argument. No one believes that the
smallest chance exists for new trial, and,
although Mr.. Scoyillc asserts that he shall
exhaust every legal remedy before giving
up the case, his appearance and counte-
nance plainly indicate that he cntertainS
very little hope OF being able to avert the
prisoners doom. The only really sanguine
person is probably the prisoner himself.
On the way TO jail last evening, although
the van was Saluted with a continuous
storm OF jecrs, the news OF the verdict hay
ing preceded it, the prisoner never once
betrayed any serious emotions. He chatted
with the driver and guards; said he was
satisfied with the charge OF the Judge;
that il was very fair on legal points. but
that the Jury had gone back on him and
brought in a verdict contrary to the evil
dence. On entering the Jail he threw off
his coat and laughingly called out,
4" Well, boys. they brought in a vcr-
dict against me. but I'll get new
trial and upset NIL this business, and
don't you forget it," He ate his supper as
usual and rs far rs could be learned slept
SOundly last night. This morning he called
for the papers, and though somewhat
thoughtful and disinclned to talk much,
maintained that it would all come out
right; that Arthur was his friend and the
American people would not let him suffer.
At one time he repeated his assertion OF
yesterday, " Ii they hang me this nation
will 20 down in blood"

A reporter remarked: "Your brother
John does not seem so sanguine."
Guiteau said "Well, John never has
taken anything but depressed looks at the
ease. He has all along been down."
"Will Mr.. Seoyille argue the case In
General Termy"
The prisoner said: ~ will have some
first-class lawyers then to do certain work.

is not fully qualified TO argue the case there.

viii Mr.. Merrick APPEAR" was next
asked, and Guiteau replied, 81 do not
know whether he will in person, but he
will be consulted. / understand that he
has prepared an elaborate brief on the
question Of jurisdiction, and perhaps he
will argue the question"
At this point Guiteau's face showed some
excitement. and, looking 1T newspaper,
he asked: "What kind OF men were on
the the jury? They Were not the right
kind OF men" (reading). "All had their
grog and Il cigar at each meal" he said.
" Is that the kind OF man to represent this
great Christian nation-grog and cigars :
Gentlemen, YOU may say that am well and
in good spirits. This is about all have to

WHAT III SAID YEsTERDAY-THE VERDICT Is
SURPRISE TO HIN.
WASHINGTON, January 2G.-The follow
ing is from the STIR OF this evening:
Guiteau was not allowed to see any yisi-
tors in the early part OF to-day, and was
kept in his single cell. The Jail officials
who saw him found him up early, and
anxious for his breakfast, but when 1t was
brought to him he did not eat it till near
noon. He stated that he did not sleep
wen. but was then feeling nicely. When
asked about the result OF the trial, he said
that he was hopeful, but the verdict was a
surprise TO HIN.
You did not expect" asked the guard,
! "a verdict OF acquittalI"
"Ah. no." said Guiteau, "but | did
think the jury would hang" He further
! said that he was hopeful OF a new trial be-
/ ing granted either by Judge Cox or the
Court in General Term. He understood
that the sentence could not be carried out
until some months hence, and before that
time they could raise the question OF iuris-
diction. He was engaged most of the
morning in writing, and it was noticed by
those who saw him that he had lost some
OF his egotistical manner and seemed more
polite than usual. In speaking to the
guards he addressed them with the title Mr..
To one Of them Guiteau said: 81 have
no fears Of hanging on the gallowS; for II
Judge Cox does not give me a new trial the
court in banc will, and | am satisfied on a
new trial there will be no difficulty In con-
yincing a jury that was insane and not

Gathering and Storing App!es.

Much Of the loss in this most valua-
bic Of all fruit crops is occasioned by
carelessness in gathering and neglect
of the proper precautions in storing.
Habits Of carelessness are of long
standing. Before railroads traversed
the apple regions, apples were of but
little value. They were left on the
trees until after several srosts and then
shaken off upon the hard ground and
stones, those that decayed were fed to
the hogs or stock, by the bushel; and
all poor keepers We're thus fed or made
into vinegar, for which there was but
little demand. Wehave seen thousands
of bushels gathered by shaking them
from the trees at the halves. This was
the beginning of the wasteful habit
When the railroad came there was a
dash for the markets, but with no idea
of putting fruit in the market in prop
err condition and the high price was too
small to encourage care in picking.
Many farmer to our knowledge
bought his barrels, paid his advance
freight, and came out minus in his re-
turns. They resorted to drying in the
sun, and sold the dried fruit for two and
a half and three cents, after keeping it
all winter. But here and there one
grated their orchards to keeping fruit,
carefully picked it by hand to the de-
rision OF their neighbors, and made
money steadily, year after year.
The scarcity and consequent high
price of good apples iii the spring has
induced large numbers to study the art
of keeping apples. We learned it years
ago. Here 1t is. Pick without bruis-
ing. Store without frosting. Keep in
bulk with fr' circulation of air and
AS cool as possible without freezing
Some would say keep in dry air. Tbs
is mistake. We have seen hundreds
of bushels kept III bliss holding two
and three hundred bushels in cellar
where the water was six inches deep on
the bottom. The apples were kept up
on blocks and not stirred from the
time they were put in until April, and
when taken out were perfectly sound
and covered with an oily coating; the
variety was Rhode Islasd Greetings.
The less apples are stirred the better
when well picked and carefully stored.
