The Supreme Court of the District has
sustained Judge Cox in his rulings in the
Guiteau case, and denied the motion for
new trial. 1t is said that Mr.. Reed,
Guiteau's counsel, proposes to ask for an
inquisition de zunatico inquirendo, upon
the assassin. IF this should be done, and
the inquest should find verdict of lunacy
this would furnish strong ground upon
which to appealto the executive clemency.

OLD BUT GOOD.

One of the comic papers revivss an old story
that is better now than it was before these
ilaysof Spirt-seeing and hearing. 1tseemsthat
an old sea captain, that had retired from ser
vice and living Oh q farm, had wild harum-
scarum nephew living with him. He could
never drive or frighten said nephew to do any
thing in its proper time. Among the rest he
could not get him to drive the cows up to
milk before dark-he had to drive them up
from back pasture through the sugar bush.
Finally the captain asked the lad if he was
not afraid to go through the woods in the dark.
"Fraid! What is that 1 never seen a
fraid," replied the boy.
''Well, never mind, my lad; you will see
one some of these nights, if you do not get the
COWS up before dark" said the captain, mean
ingly.
he went after the cows, as usual. The cap
tain took sheet and followed him. Now, the
captain had a tame monkey, who saw the per
formance, and monkey-like, took table cloth
and followed the captain at a respectful dis
tance. The captain went into the middle OF the
woods, where there was big log by the side of
the bath. Going to the further end of it, he
wound his sheet around him, got upon it, and
stood STILL The monkey got on the first end
without noise, and did the same. So the par
ties stood when the boy came whistling along
with his COWS. They SHE'D a little upon see
ing the ghosts, which caused the boy to look
ahead.
ssHello, what is that 20 he shouted "by
golly, guess it's fraid % and then, spying
the monkey, he sung out, ''by Jerusalem, if
there amt two fraids-a big fraid, and little
fraid -
This caused the captain to look round, when
he saw. for the first time, his ghostly compan-
ion He thought it was a .fradd sure enough.
The old captain streaked it for home, the mon
key chasing him, and the wicked nephew
clapping his hands and shouting, run, big
fraid, run, or little fraid IL ketch you ~
