A "Reminiscences of Guiteau.

A gentleman now residing in Chicago
yesterday gave to a NeacS reporter the
following Renaissance of Guiteau, the
assassin: 81 was in Minneapolis last
summer, soon after the assassina-
ton, and called on Mrs. Mary Sam
mis-, a widow residing on First street,
who had been member of the Guiteau
family in Sackett's Harbor, small
town in New York State, on Lake On
tario. Mary and Guiteau were about of
an age, and both attended the same
school, She told me all about the boys
home-life, his passionate nature, and the
fear in which he was held by the school
children. lie was constantly writing
religious essays and preaching, and time
and again declared he could walk on
the water as Christ did. At last Guiteau
appointed time, after school hours,
when he would demonstrate his faith on
the waters of Ontario. All the school
children and many of the grown people
of the town assembled on the shore, and
Guiteau speedily put in an appearance.
He passed through the crowd without a
word, and stood by the water on a small
dock, After waving his hands about
several times and mumbling an unintel-
ligible prayer he stepped off the dock
into the water, and, of course, went
down. The crowd hooted and yelled,
and made merry over the failure. 1t
was only by the greatest exertions the
boy-then aged about eighteen years
was saved from drowning. The next
day he explained his failure by saying
that among the crowd were number
of unbelievers, and he could do nothing
in their presence. This incident was
but one of many similar sensations
Guiteau created in Sackett's Harbor,
and no attention was paid to it until he
earned worldwide notoriety by shooting

Two MiSers.

A lawyer in Troy, N Y, states that
in the bitter weather of last January he
was called at midnight to make will
for supposed pauper named Ager.
He found the man dying in a wretched
hoyel, withouta ire, apparently of want,
his wife beside him, dying also of hem
orrhage of the lungs.
Ager had one thousand five hundred
dollars in four small bags, and six hum
dred dollars in gold in his pockets,
which he had carried so long that they
were black and greasy. Gold was also
found secreted in iron pots and tea-pots
in the house. He died before morning,
and his wife an hour or two later.
They we've both educated and of good
birth.
They had bought no fuel all winter,
and had literally starved and frozen to
death. When asked why they had not
spent few dollars in making them
selves comfortable, they replied: "Mon-
ey was good thing to have" They
could not take it with them, however,
and at almost the last moment of life
gave it to charitable society.
Such instances of extreme avarice are
very rare among native Americans. The
Nation is too well-fed and well-clothed
the general habit of life is too prodigal;
money comes too easily to foster even a
wise economy in the character of Ameri-
can children.
A certain Major s. was well-known
to the past generation in the Middle
States as a miser of land. He was
childless, and owned enormous tracts in
Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio,
which he only improved sufficiently to
enable him to pay the taxes on them,
and to buy more land.
His whole life was spent in travelling
on foot over his possessions, and it was
his boast that he could walk from the
Hudson to the Miami, and sleep every
night on his own ground. On these
| journeys Re begged his food from his
tenants, and wore the same suit Of
clothes, until it literally dropped off OF
him. rotten with filth and age.
Nothing could induce him to sell or
give away a foot of land At last the
old man was missed, and after couple
of months his body was found in a for
est on the Allegheny Mountains, where,
J having been taken i'll on one of his jour
! neYs, he had crept to die. Six feet oi
| ground was given 10 him for a grave,
and that, by strange chance, as if in
derison OF the old mans folly, belonged
to another man.
The folly of these two men is evident
to the dullest of us. Their lives to, the
very hour of death were spent in dis
comfort and want, that they might ac-
cumulate riches which they knew they
must leave behind them. l-.

Description of the Loss Of the Jeanette.

, SAN Francisco, April &c.
The Cal tomorrow will publish a letter from
DR. II. c. Ledyard, an American now in ST.
IBERIA, 10 a friend in this city. At Irkoutsk
Ledyard met Lieutenant Danenhower, who
gave him interesting details of the loss of the
Jeanette, from which the following extracts
are made: .' N" ..
Since the first fall, when they were caught
by the fee in trying to reach Herald Island,
they have never taken a course, but were
held as in the jaws Of death, squeezed till
every timber quvered, turned this way and
that, thrown floating and then caught again,
and every hour in suspense, never knowing
when the ice would close upon them. A
little more and the deck would have sunk
beneath them. Throughout this strain they
were we'll, and trying to be cheerful, working
very hard, for the engine and men were barely
able to keep the water out. They had to
pump for q year and a half June II, 1881.
the crisis came. The ship showed greater
straining than before, the deck quivered, and
inexpicable movements warned them.
They prepared their boats and made their
camp beside the vessel. She rose and turned
in her cradle till the yards touched the ice and
then the rigging gave way, and the masts lay
PROSTATE. At four O'Clock IN the morning the
foe parted, and all went down. The cry OF
alarm called all to escape from the crevice in
the ico. ltopened just through the Captain
tent.
Then began the retreat. For twenty-nine
days they str ggled southwark, Three hun
dred miles of broken ice were thus passed
over. Four miles day was thought good
fortune. After one series of fourteen days
they were twenty-seYen miles further north
than at first. While working over the ice
dragging three boats, they discovered Bennett
Island, to explore which they spent three
weeks of their precious days, and exp ndeC
much of their limited supply of food. To th
detour those who survived attribute most o.
their suffering and the death of the com
mander with nineteen men.
| After three months Of this perllous and ex
hausting work they came to blue water, ant
then with fair winds took their course for tn,
mouth of the Lena River. Melville boat wa
stove against block of ice. The Captain
/ boat lost her mast and sail. The Captain land
ed with all we'll but abandoned the boat as tn
water was shallow, and it would not make Ia

The Arctic Whaling Fleet.

The twenty or more whale-ships
which came down from the Arctic last
autumn have mostly started again for
the same destination. These vessels
will not arrive in the Arctic before some
timein May. they fish BY the way,
making long stretches out of direct
course, sometimes getting well over
toward Japan, and sometimes nosing
about the Okho.sk Sea, for any chance
to strike few whales in this latitude.
Besides the fleet of sailing ships, there
will be three steamers in the Arctic this
season-viz. The Belvedere and North
Star, of New Bedford, and the new
steamer now on the stocks at this port,
which will be completed inside of the
next two months. The sailing ships are
all old-fashioned, short, oak-built ships,
which have done good service in other
business before they were sent around
to the Arctic. Some of them were pack
cts fifty years ago. They are still strong,
weatherly ships, and seem to be inde-
pendent of all decay. the cold weather
of the Arctic and the saturation of oil
have a tendency to preserve ships. IN
less these old vessels get nipped in the
ice, they may be good for at least quar-
ter of century more of good service.
BY that time there will probably
be no use for anything but the screw
steamships in whaling. Even now an
other use of steam in whaling has been
introduced-the steam tender, or small
boat with steam, strong enough to tow
dead whale a long distance and tow
the whaleboats to the fishing grounds.
Steam can not be used in following
whales, on account of the noise. But
1t can be used as an auxiliary in the
ways suggested, and, it is said, with
substantial advantage. A great many
whales are struck and lost. But steam
tender to hitch on and tow thirty or
forty miles is the latest improvement in
whaling. The old sailing vessels will
wear out in the business. They do not
represent great deal of capital. Now
and then an old ship worth five or six
thousand dollars, and twice that sum in
the matter of outfit, will come into port
with thousand barrels of oil, and as
much bone as can be stored away. The
interest on capital is small. The profits
are large. That is why these old bluff
towed ships soaked with whale-oil are
so dear to the hearts of their owners.
The steam whalers, with outfit, cost any
where from $4,000 to 100000, ac-
cording to size. These must come into
port with large fares, or the venture
would be losing business.-S Fran

Gibbon murder are VIM. Neal,
Ellis Craft, and Geo. Ellis, all white.
Geo. Ellis confessed to the constable,
saving Craft and Neal awakened
him on the night of the murder and
urged him to go with them to Glib
bons'. He went reluctantly. They
entered by 4 window and Neal and
Craft outraged the two girls. Emma
Thomas recognized Neal and
said she would tell her mother.
Robert, the boy, then was about to
give the alarm when Craft struck
him on the head with an axe,
killing him instantly. Craft
then told Annie that her time to
die had come, and amid the piteous
cries Of the child for mercy, he
struck her on the head and killed
her instantly. Neal then killed
Emma Thomas in the same
way. Craft and Neal at first
denied the Ellis story, but Neal
confessed this afternoon and Ellis
and Neal waived examination. Ellis
and Neal are married, Craft is sim
gle. Tney all were present at the
