Of the legislature contaiaea clause

We learn from a Washington
dispatch that Cockrell, warden of
the Jail where Guiteau is confined,
has been betrayed into an interview
in the course of which he said in re-
gard to Guiteau's insanity: "There
is but one opinion. There has not
been a single act on his part during
the six months that he has been
here that would indicate insanity.
His department has been remarka-
bly, even, no one day varying from
another. He is polite in his man
ner, quick in his perception and
ready of speech. He conyerses up
on any topic Of the day as nationally
as any man, and will adhere TO the
subject under discussion until the
conversation turns naturally to some
other topic. never knew him to
fly of on tangent or give way to
outbreaks. He is a quick tempered
man, and sometimes shows his tenn
per if be thinks his liberties or
rights are being abridged; but. like
most quick tempered men, his an
ger is short-lived, and he is to get
over it as to indulge in exhibitions
OF it. Altogether he is q singular
man, but he is by no means insane.

OF these there are several in and
about the City, some of which I Wis
tied and some / did not. But with
these most Louisianians are more OF
less familiar, and consequently they
need only to be mentioned here. On
street cars or street railways you
can for mere pittance take run to
West End, or to Spanish Fort, or to
the old battle ground, or to Carol.
ton, or to the Barracks, or to the
Stock Yards. Or if you prefer you
can take a trip down the river to the
famous Eads Jetties. In the City is
the Custom House, said to be the q.
nest on the American continent;
also the French market, which none
should fail to see; and the Cotton
Exchange, the arena in which the
Bulls and Bears fight. OF course
these are only some of the more
prominent objects of interest. Be.
sides these there is q galaxy of
greatness. There is Lafayette
square, in which you can muse OF

through this pulley runs a rope
which extends to land several hun

The first feature to which we will

mers in South Florida will also stand
by us, not merely in the theory but
practice; and not only they but the
younger ones are Ginning in very

sNktfle and hogs we ny fdgalt
Having had some years experience
IN Florida, our verdict is, that the
Florida hog is a nuisance, and when
weighed ia the balance OF profit and
loss the scale goes down on the wrong
side every time. l have seen that
same hog root under the best rail
fence and get into the field together
with some halt dozen pigs, or shad-
ows of pigs, but all rooters as the po-
tato match will tell. Then l have
seen them throw down the rails that
were ten high. They will climb tar
enough to get their long nose, which
seems made on purpose for such uses,
under the top rail aud then they will
throw them as handily as Jumbo can
pick up beer bottle and uncork 1t.
II Barnum had tried his hand at
teaching these hogs tricks L am sure
ne would have made a success OF 1t,
ior they must be apt scholars that
learn so we'll without teacher' In
this way they might be made valn-
.ble but I should say Ill no othel.
