The Strength OF Plain Statement.

The first valuable power in reasona-
BILE mind, one would say, was the power
of plain statement, or the power to re-
ceive things as they befal, and to trans
fer the picture of them to another mind
unaltered. IT'S a good rule of rhetoric
which Schlegel gives" In good prose,
every word is UNDERSIGNED !" which, I
suppose, means never italicize.
Spartans, stoics, heroes, saints
and gods use short and positive
speech. They are never off their GEN.
tiers. AS soon as they swell and paint
and find truth not enough for them,
softening of the brain has surely begun.
1t seems rs if initiation were disease
incident to too much use of words, and
the remedy lay in recourse to things. l
am daily struck with the forcible under
statement of people who have no liter
airy habit. The low expression is strong
and agreeable. The citizen dwells in
decisions. His dress and draperies,
house and stables, occupy him. The
poor countryman, having no cir
cumstance of carpets, coaches, dinners,
wine, and dancing in his head to con-
fuse him, is able to look sraight at you
without refraction or prismatic glories,
and he sees whether you see straight
also, or whether your head is added by
this mixture of wines. .......I .

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

THE Post-office appropriation bill ex-
cited sharp debate in the House on the 4th
but no action was taken on any Of the pend
Ing amendments.
Mr.. SCovILLE's motion for new
trial in the Guiteau case was everruled by
Judge Cox, on the 4th. The prisoner, who
was seated few feet in front Of Judge Cox,
shouted: 81 would like, your Honor, to
defer passing sentence as long as you can. ~
Without paying attention to this harangue,
the Court sternly ordered the prisoner to
stand up, at the same time asking him II he
had anything to say why sentence should
not be passed upon him. Clenchlng his fist
and pounding vigorously oH the table, Gui-
teau shouted that he was not re-
sponsible for his act; that he
had been impelled to do it by the Deity, and
other similar expressions used by him dur
ing the conduct Of the case. He trembled
violently, and all his bravado deserted him
as he appeared to realize the danger Of his
position. He did not occupy more than two
minutes in his speech, and Judge Cox, after
pointing to the enormity Of his offense, and
the universal horror it had created, sen
fenced him to be hanged June 80, 1882.
When the Judge pronounced the solemn
prayer, ''May God have mercy on your
soul" Guiteau, with cry Of agony, said:

Criminal Court on the Sd, reading an afida-
Wit in which he claimed that while the jury
men were confined to their room they were
visited by one VIM. Merely, clerk in the
Treasury Department, and Jno. T. Downs,
an employee Of the Signal Service, and con-
versed with the visitors in relation to the
case. He asked that these gentlemen be
brought into court through compulsory
process If they will not appear voluntarily.

denying that they had read newspapeBtalr-
ing the trial. Corkhil said he had evidence
which would show the names written on the
newspaper alleged to have been found in
the jury room to be forgeries. Judge Cox
said he could not vary from the well-defned
rules Of practice as to the admission OF afh-
dayits or time for hearing the motion, but as
new questions were submitted in the pend-
ing motion he would take time to mature hi;
decision. lie would, however, be pleased

The following statement of William
j. Coughlin, of Somerville, Nass., is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for it
the attention of our readers. He says:
In the fall of 1876 l was taken with
a violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by a severe cough. 1 soon began to
lose my appetite and flesh. L was so
weak at one time that l could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 l was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said | had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. l
expended over a hundred dollars in
doctors and medicines. 1 was so far
that l vas dead. l gave up hope, but
a friend told me of DIR. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. l laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
incurable, but l got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratif-
cation, l commenced to feel better.
My hope, once dead, began TO revive,
and to-day L feel in better spirits than
[ have the past three years.
II write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every one afflicted with Dis
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption
can be cured. l have taken two bot
ties, and can positively say that it has
done more good than all the other
medicines l have taken since my sick
ness. My cough has almost entirely
disappeared, and l shall soon be able to
go to work" Sold by druggists.
