z hou didst Inspire 'GArfcld's removal,
and only good has came from it. This
is TIC best evidence that the inspiration
came from Thee, and have set it forth
in my book that Thou, Father, didst
insp re the act for which | am now
-ulsaEsiered This government and a.
ton by this act, know, will incur Thy
eternal emily. as did the jews by kill
ing Thy Man, my Savior The retri-
button in that case came quick and
sharpt and / know Thy divine law of
retribution will strike this nation and
my inurderers in the same way. TIE
Giabolical spirit of this nation, its gov
eminent and newspapers toward me viii
stify Thee in cursing them, and |
know tina. Thy divine law of retribution
is inexorable; therefore predict that
this ma ion will go down 10 flood, and
that my mur,lerers, from the Executive
10 tho hangnan. viii 80 TO hell. Thy
laws are iuexorable, oh Thou Supreme
Judge Woe unto the men that violate
Thy laws, only weeping asd gnashing
of teeth awaits them. The American
press las large bill to settle with Thee
Righteous Ia. her for their vindictive-
ness in this matter Nothing but blood
will satisfy them, and now my blood be
on item and this nation, a d is offici-
ais. Mr. Arthur, the President, is a
coward and an migrate. His ingrati-
Iude 10 the man that made him and
saved his patty and land from over
throw, has no par-llel in history, but
Thon lighteous Father will judge him.
Faith, 7. Thou knOwest me, but the world
hath not known me and l go to Thee
and & SAVIOR Sithout ihe slightest Ill
will toward human being. Farewell
we men of the Garth.
AT several poin S he half paused, and
endeavored TO impart an increased
emphasis 10 the words by peculiar,
facial expression, SO often observed
during his trial, when he was angered
at something which was said or done.
This was peculiarly noticeable when he
alluded to President Arthur, and when
he declared that this nation would :'go
down in Blood When lac had finish-
ed reading his prayer, he again survey
ed t! crowd and said, still with a firm
voce:
lam now going to read some verses
which are intended to Indicate my feel
ings at :Ihe momeot of leaving this
world. If set to music they may be rem
deTed effective. The idea is that of q
Child babbling to his mamma and his
papa. Iwrote it this morning about
10 o'clock" He then commenced to
chant these verses in a sad, dolefnl
style: -.A at"'N"
81 am going 10 the Lerdy,
/ am so glad, -l.+a

Here Quite us voice failed, AID he

but he rallied little aud went on with /
his chant saFts = IS

But they have murdered me for it,
And this is the reasan

Glory, hallelujah aa.
Glory, halleluj .h-l 7.
L am going to the Lordy."
Here, again, his feelings overcame
him and lie leaned his head on the
shoulder of Mr.. Hicks and sobbcd
still he welt on.
al wonder what viii do
When 1 get To the LOrdy.
l gncss that will weep no more,
When get to the LOrdy,
Glory, hallelujah --- -
Here there was another interruption,
caused by sobs and emotion which he
was unable-to repress. He wept bitter
", and then with quivsring lips and
cries he went on TO finish his
litty.l
al wonder what will see
When getito the Lordy.

Beyond all earthly c inception,

Glory, hallelujah !" Il
Raising his voice to the higest pitch
hat he could command ! I!
GLORY, hallelujah - --- -s--t
am with the Lord"
This closed the chant, and then Rev.
VIZ. Hicks gave to Gulteau his final
and farewell, saying, say
ny Cob The Father be with thee
lrd give thee peace fnrevermore."
The attendants then pinioned his legs,
placed the moose over his head and .
