Now Mike was an 'Osler of very good parts,
Yet sly as a church mouse was he;
And he came to c0ufess to the new parish
priest
Like pious and true devotee.
When his sins were reeled of till no more
could be found,
Said the priest: "Are you sure you've told
all?
Have the mouths of the horses never been
CREASED,
So they couldn't eat oats In the stall?"
"With respect to yer rev'reuce" said Mike with
grin,
"Sure for that ye may lave me alone;
I've scraped tll there's n yer a sin left behoind,
Me conscience Is clane to the bOnep
So absolved, happy Mike went away for more
sins,
Till the day came around to tell all;
And the very first thing he confessed, he had
creased
The mouth of each horse in the stall!
How Is this2' said the priest; "when here, but
last week,
You never had done this, you swore.'

THE LAST SCENES IN THE GUITEAU
TRIAL, SATURDAY, 4TH., INST.

TRIAL, SATURDAY, 4TH, INST.
Guiteau was to-day sentenced to be
hanged, IL the law is executed, on Fri
day, the 30th of next June. Judge
Cox exceeded the limit q little and put
the day as near the anniversary of
Garfeld's shooting as possible. Quit
eau during the entire proceedings
acted more like maniac than at any
previous time during the trial. His
imprecations and blasphemous curses
after the sentence had been pronouno-
ed were frightfully intense.
HIS FEATURES WERE DISTORTED.
His fists were clenched and his face
seemed only the semblance of "a human
countenance. Judge Cox was so great
ly affected while pronouncing sentence
that at one time 1t seemed impossible
for him to complete it. His voice was
husky, and he was evidently by sheer
force of will going through with a
duty which was terrible necessity.
Judge Cox do not doubt Guiteau's
legal responsibility. but does re.
gard him as man born with evil pas
sions, who in his early life was not
taught to restrain them. Guiteau's
blasphemies have shocked Judge Cox,
who Is christian gentleman but he
has seen no way TO prevent them
Cuiteau can only escape the gallows
which are already erected and stand
very near his cell, by death or by he.

AT a few minutes past 10 a. m. on
Tuesday, a fire broke out in the build.
ing on Park Row, New York, formerly
occupied by the New York World, and
in the same block with the New York
Times, though separated from the
Times office by intervening buildings.
The fire spread rapidly. and before it
could be controlled, which was more
than an hour, much valuable property
and a number of lives were lost. In
the old World building was a large
number OF offices and stores which were
destroyed with it, of which the follow
ing is list:
New York Rubber, Betting & Pack

Home News. =

The truth of the colloquialism, that
zone must 60 away from home to learn
the news" is doubtless illustrated to
every one in his journey through life.
AS rule this time honOred saying may
hold good; we propose however, to note
an exception. Mr.. A. w. Tyrrell,
Merchants Hotel, Shelby street, this
city, writes: 81 can cheerfully bear
testimony to the wonderful healing
qualities of the Great German Remedy,
st. Jacobs Oil. l was afflicted with
Rheumatism for long time, and 1 al
most gave myself up as incurable. The
use of the above preparation cured me
completely, and feel like new man."
The following statement is from Mr..
Henry Dole, 32O Fourteenth street,
Detroit. 1 have little girl who was
troubled with severe lameness i'm her
legs, pronounced by some Erysipelas,
by other Rheumatism. | had tried
several remedies without effect, when l
was induced to apply st. Jacobs Oil,
and am happy to say that the use of
but one bottle cured her. and she is now
able to go to school again. 1t also
cured me of lame shoulder, and i
certainly would not be without it.
The above reports are in harmony
with what is appearing in the news
papers everywhere regarding this
household remedy. Pecks' Sun, the
great humorous paper of the North
west, in a recent issue says: "We are
going to do something we have never
done before, that is, deliberately and
unsolicited, to puff patent medicine.
We want to say that we indorse, per-
sonally, all that is said of st. Jacobs
Oil. We have tried it for neuralgia,
rheumatism, and few cheap diseases,
and it has given instant relief. We
have recommended it to dozen friends
who have been grunting around with
one thing and another, and after using
1t they have thanked us, and have said
it was the boss. Druggists say there
is more call for st. Jacobs Oil than for
any other article of the kind, and they
can hardly keep supply. If these few
lines shall induce anybody to buy the
oil we know that they will be pleased" F"
