GUITEAU GOES.

In eight days more Guiteau's toes will fail
TO make a connection with the solid ground
by about three feet. lie has only eight days
more in which 10 threaten the American peo-
pie with Gods vengeance, but he can console
himself with the fact that they are the long
est days in the year. Speaking OF the length
of the days, It is a kind Providence that
gradually brings the days up TO the tempera-
ture Of the zephyrs that fan and blister the
unpapered walls OF his future abiding place.
The government has already been furnishing
the cold-blooded murderer Of Garfield free
grub about year too long. But thank
Heaven we have but eight days more of his
egotistical rant TO endure.
