President Garaeld's Assassin
Legally Executed.
How the Vile Wretch Passed His Last

Closing soenee at the scaffold---
- The Fatal Drop.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-The last night
of Guiteau's life was not marked by
many features Of special interest. Dur
ing the first half of the night, or until l
o'clock this morning. Guiteau was
greatly disturbed by the insane cries of
q colored "crank" who had been con-
victed of larceny and by mistake had
been sentenced to Jail instead of an
asylum. Her demoniacal yells rang
through the jail, serving to keep Guiteau
awake nearly the entire night. He was
very restless and slept but little. Rev.
MIR. Hicks, his spiritual adviser, spent
an hour with him, remaining until mid
night. At that time he reported that
the prisoner had had no sleep and that
he was peevish and fretful. Alto
gether he had a poor night, for which
the crazy girl in the west wing,
who persisted in Yelling at short
intervals, was in great degree respopsi-
ble. The night was delightfully."- cool,
the thermometer in the warden's Office
marking 74::degreee. Nevertheless, with
the girls cries in his ears aud some tor
turing thoughts on bis mind, Guiteau
could do nothing but walk the floor of

Gathering Pineapples.

The average life of the "scarlet pine
is three years; that Of the sugar-loaf is
about five. The average weight of the
fruit in the Bahamas is from three to
three and half pounds. A field is gen
orally gone over three times during the
season, a&ording three grades of fruit
called first second and third cuttings.
The scarlet variety ripens month or
two earlier than the sugar-loaf. Owing
to the short serrated leaves of the plant,
the gathering of the fruit is tedious
and difficult matter, the men, women
and children engaged in the work being
obliged to wear heavy canvass leggings
and gloves with gauntlets to protect
themselves against the sharp spines of
the plant. ND. .-....~ -: ssa.s. 90
The pineapple plants furnish but one
regular crop during the year, although
the local markets are seldom without O
few pineapples on sale. About the mid
die of April the first cuttings are made OF
the scarlet pines, and the last is made
about the. LIST of July. The sugar-loaf
pine is. at maturity during July and
August. The shipping season is one Of
signal activity in the colony, for when
the fruit is ready for the knife it must be
cut and hurried with all speed to market
or it will be lost. s

Long Branch.
[Corr. n. Y. Times.

The present season promises to be one
of unprecedented prosperity. Improve
ments have been made on every side.
Over 100 new cottages have been built
this season, mostly in Queen Anne style
and by men to whom luxury is wonted
custom, and Ocean Avenue for three
miles shows but few vacant lots. The
lavish display of color on these same
Queen Anne cottages is wonderful. Most
of them seem built of slabs of rainbow,
with a Kaleidoscope roof, soap-bubble
windows, and Easter-egg cupolas,
trimmed with ribbons and sea-shells.
Add to these lively charms several tall
and red-hot chimneys, blue and white
awnings, gilded vanes, curving and airy
hammocks of gray, chairs of yellow, YER
million, and indigo: set the whole in a
square of most vivid emerald lawn where
gorgeous verbenas, geraniums, calceo-
larias and gladiola flame like patches of
fire, and where morning glories and
passion-vines twist and trail and stream
their many splendors; and then surround
the whole with fence whose very posts
and wires are scintillant with burnish
and color-and you have some idea of
the gorgeousness of q Long Branch
villa. Withal, perfect taste for the most
part reigns, or rather the Queen Anne
cottage seems to be so heterogeneous
that nothing in art or nature would be
ont of place in the general tumble which
is it's main characteristic. One thing is
certain, however, it is most pleasing to
the eye; it is strongly in contrast with
the heavy aud sombre lines of brown
stone of the city; it is bright as a flower,
and cheerful as the sunlight it revels in;
it looks, and is, cool; it is fragile and
delicate, and dainty as you please; and,
as Artemus Ward was won't to say in
moments of strong enthusiasm-long
may it wave I The hotels have kept
even pace with this backward slide into
medissval gaudiness, and have been
prodigal in reds, blues, grays and browns
in the way of paint, and from the lead
colored veranda to the ripple Of bunting
over all, are brilliantly aglow. The
beer saloons have not fallen behind the
hotels in the race for variety of hue,
and the very telegraph men have
wbitened their poles, rubbed up their
insulators, polished their wires, and in
undated their office with carmine, ochre
and lake, until the whole place looks like
sky-rocket in permanent state of ex-

Why Hnger round the sunken wreck,
Where old Armadas found their graves7
Why slumber on the sleepy decks
While foam and clash the angry waves?
Up! When the storm blast rends the clouds
And winged with ruin sweeps the gale,
Young feet must climb the quivering masts,
Young hands must reef the bursting sail.
Leave us to fight the tyrant creeds,
Who felt their shackles, feel their scars;
The cheerful sunlight little heeds
The brutes that prowled beneath the stare;
The dawn Is here, the day star shows
The spoils of many battle won:
Bat sin and sorrow still are foes
That face us in the morning sun.
Who sleeps within your hammered mounds,
The proud Borrowing mourner seeks
The garland bearing crowd surrounds7

What nobler task, what fairer prize

The Largest Farm in the World.

The Agricultural Review for August
contains an interesting history OF the
Burr Oaks farm, in Champaign county,
Illinois. 1t was originally established
by Mr.. NJ. l.. Sullivant, who purchased
10000 acres of land. He attempted
the cultivation of corn with hired labor,
and in 1871 his crop aggregated 600, 600
bushels, but he failed, and three years
ago Mr. Hiram Sibley became the owner
He changed the policy of managing the
farm, divided it into tracts of from 81
to 800 acres, erecting farmhouse and
barn on each, and located good men
with families on them, giving them a
share of the crop for their labor. He
supervised the whole, furnishing the
land, building and seeds, and directing
the kinds of crops to be raised and the
method of cultivation. One hundred
and fOrIy-six farmers are thus engaged,
and 1874 houses and barns have already
been erected for their use. During the
past year fifty-four houses and the
same number OF barns were built, or an
average of one week. More are III
course of construction. Thus far over
$780, 900 have been spent by Mr.. Sibley
in improvements. The buildings are of
the best class and all are painted, in
GLIDING the roofs; in fact everything is
done we'll and substantially. The farm
is eight miles long by eight miles wide,
and though only two years have elapsed
since it became the property of Mr.
Sibley, it has now in the centre flour
ishing town, with large grain elevator,
where all the produce of the farm is
shipped to market by railroad. There
is also school building, churches, a
hotel and newspaper published there
A large por ion of the various crops are
fol- supplying seeds for the seed firm of
Hiram Sibley & CO., of Rochester, New
York. There are 1889 horses and
mules, 200 head of cattle, 1,220 sheep,
and l 135 hogs on the farm at the pres
ent time. Four rivers take their rise on
the farm, and there are never-failing
wells. Four hundred miles of bitches
have been dug in draining the ground
properly, and carp ponds are to be con-
structed.

Fate ing Hogs.


a breeder Of swine for pork manufac.
turing, at the West, gives he following
advice as the result Of bis experience in
fattening hogs for slaughtering
uAfter feeding for fattening has once
been begun, there should be steady
increase up to the point of suficiency,
and never a decrease. Corn, Of course.
is the principal fJod but it is advisable
to feed cooked potatoes and pumpkins
mixed with mill SUITS once a day.
Plenty of trough room is necessity,
and plenty Of pure water should be sup
piled twice a day. The hog will drink
a great deal Of water as the practical
hog raiser well knows. The greatest
care should be exercised to so feed that
the animal will not be compelled to eat
flth as well as food. IF corn is fed it
should be fed upon dry floor, when
possible. Neither good pork or much
of it can come from feeding filth. The
salting of hogs is a very important
matter, and they will not and cannot do
we'll without a regular supply Of salt.
It should be given them once day,
and can be given in ground oats-which
is an excellent fat-produeing food
or in the cooked mixture mentioned
above"
If the directions given are followed
the results viii be satisfactory. Hog
raisers should make it an object to pro-
duce pork that is healthy and good in
every respect. There is deep-seated
prejudice against pork under the most
favorable circumstances, and It is to
the interest of pork producers to re-
move this. But poor and diseased pork
can only increase this prejudice. In
all our markets is pork that is not fit
for consumption, and consumers know
it. As this paper has frequently said
good pork is good and healthy food,
and after awhile, if pork-raisers strive
to produce good pork, the universal
| nnhlic Will learn this fact
