OF the canopy to survey the scene

two hundred feet below. Persons
Of the largest size dwindled into
the proportions of mere dwarfs,
and their voices and footballs
sound as il heard from afar of.
Descending TO the rotunda, we
again paused to contemplate the
stupendous structure towering
above us. Inyoluntarily we bow

We next come TO cur visit to the
court honse to get a look at the as
sassin, Guiteau, and to witness
proceedings III the celebrated tri-
al. We spent one day in unsuc-
cessful attempts TO gain admission.
But the next day was more propi-
tious for us, as a drenching rain
continued throughout the MORN

the room was densely crowded.
large part of those present being
ladies. Shortly after ten O'Clock
the assassin made his appearance,
handcufled and attended by two
guards, and was conducted TO the
dock or prisoners box, to which
he had been removed the previous
day by order of the Court to ST.
lence his Interruptions; but this
had very little effect, as the pris-
oner says he has a good voice and
is determined to be heard in his
own defense. We were grossly
mistaken in the ideal we had
formed of Guiteau's appearance,
for he has by no means the appear
ance OF moral deprivation. His
features are regular, and in com
mon parlance would be called
good looking. He is of medium
stature and is Well formed. He
came in with a quick, hurried step
and eyes cast upon the floor. As
is usual he opened the proceed
ings Of the day with a harangue
to the Court, asking that more
guards be detailed tn protect
him from the police van to the
Court. From time TO time he
would put in one of his speeches,
as he calls his llarangaes. At one
time he became greatly incensed
with his counsel and his brother
about a letter written by the pris-
Oner to Senator Cameron, asking
for a loan of $500 This letter was
intercepted, and being offered in
evidence, Guiteau charged his
counsel and brother with breach
of confidence and dashed them
mercilessly. These interruptions
became so annoying, that the coun-
sci for the government threatened
to ask the Court to have the dock
removed TO a more distant part OF
the Court room, whereupon the
prisoner became less turbulent.
He still, however, continued to
throw in his expressions. comment
ing on the evidence or defending
his inspiration theory.
We heard the testimony of DIR.
kempster, of Wisconsin; we can
not of course give his testimony in
detail, but he believed the prison
er perfectly sane and responsible
for his acts; and we left the Court
room with the firm conviction that
this estimate of Guiteau is cor
rect one.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
RECOMPENSE.
SATURDAY, JULY Is, 1882.

The earth gives us treasure four-fold for all
that We give to its bosom.
The care we bestOw on the plant comes back
in the bud and the blossom.
The sun draws the sea to the sky, oh, stillest
and strangest Of powers,
And returns to the hills and the meadow the
gladness of bountiful showers.
The mother regains her lost youth in the beau
ty and youth of her daughters,
We are fed, after many long days, by the bread
that we cast on the waters.
Never Joy do we cause but we for that 10y
are the gladder
Never heart do we grieve but we for the
grieving are sadder.
Never Islander so vile as the lips Of the willing
rehearser,
And curses, though long, loud and deep, come
home to abide with the cursor.
He who doth give of his best, of that best is the
certainest user,
And he who withholds finds himself of his
gaining the pitiful loser.
The flowers that are strewn for the dead bloom
first in the hearts Of the living,
And this is truest Of truths, that the best of a
gift is the giving.

FOSTER FINISHES.
A General Explanation of all Parts In the House
OF Commons.

General Explanation or all Parts In the House
OF Commons.
LONDON, May An the House of
Commons tonight Sir w. Harcourt,
Secretary of State for the home Depart
ment, announced that Michael Davitt
had been released from Kilmainham
Jail Immediately after this announce
ment, Gladstone rose and said that he
had received communication stating
that the ''no rent manifesto would be
Withdrawn. Dillon, O Kelley, and Sex
ton Immediately inquired of the speaker
from whom he had received the CON-
munication, whereupon Gladstone stat
ed that Parnell had made it. This
announcement created sensation.
Foster then rose and said that he wished
to make personal explanation in regard
to his resignation of the office of Chief
Secretary for Ireland. He stated that
the reason for the step he had
taken was that he was firmly of the
opinion that the releace of the Irish
suspects would encourage crime and
disorder in Ireland. Fostor continuing
said that, had he been left unfettered in
office, he would have detained all sus-
poets in prison until proper respect
for the law had been secured; none of
conditions of the order of the government
for the arrest and imprisonment of sus-
poets had been fulfilled. No promise
had ever been given that they would
cease their acts of intimidation and
outrage, nor cease their tactics for the
obstruction of business in Parliament.
Their release in his opinion, was uncon-
stitutional, and was entirely foreign to
what be thought was proper measure
for restoring peace and orderin Ireland.
In conclusion Foster entreated the House
not to buy obedience to law by granting
further concessions. Great cheering
followed Fosters remarke.

THE MOREY LETTER.
New Source From which Revelations are
Expected.

New Source From which Revelations are
Expected.
NEW YORK, May 4.-The Tribune's
Washington correspondent says: 1T
appears probable that Colonel Horatio
Hercules Hadley, who acquired motor
iety during the last Presidential cam
paign as Secretary of the Hancock
Club in New York, will soon en-
erge from obscurity again and en-
gage public attention, for short time
at least. For the last eighteen months
Hunt the rascal down. has been John
|. Dayenport's motto, and he has been
unwearied in his efforts to discover the
author of the Morey letter forgery.
More than year ago certain informal
ton furnished to Davenport led him to
believe that, If he would, Colonel Had
ley could give some valuable informa-
ton on this subject; and it appears that
Davenport has persistently followed
ever since the clew thus obtained. 1t
isflow learned from Trustworthy source
that Davenport has succeeded in induc-
ing Hadley to divulge what he knows
about the matter, which is good deal.
Among the facts thus obtained is that
the forgery was concocted in the Han
cock Republican Club. Hadley, it is
understood, has also disclosed the man
ner in which the letter was placed in
possession of the Democratic National
Committee. 1t is further stated that
Hadley's disclosures have convinced
those to whom they Were made that
Abraham S. Hewitt was merely imposed
upon in the matter. Chairman Barnum
it is charged, is among those who knew
that the letter was not genuine.

According TO the testimony of the
commandment and gardener of the Sol
dier's home Mt Arlington Heights, before
the investig ating committee. it was Gus
tomary to furnish the first of fruits and
..garden sass to the commissioners
Gen. Drum was the only one who had
honor enough to refuse to rob The in
mates of the hospital. Even flowers,
whose dainty beauty was developed, as
was all the rest at the expense of private
soldiers, paid their tribute to the COM
missioners until during the Hayes adj
minissration "when one year Mr.. Hayes
recommended that flowers be sent to the
hospital sometimes" The disgraceful
features are much aggravated by the
fact that this asylum is supported en-
tirely by the private soldiers and non
commissioned officers of the army who
are taxed to keep it up and who expect
to have their invalid comrades reap the
benefits. The reaping, since 1868 has,
as shown by the investigation, been
done By other parties and parties who
are amply able to maintain themselve.
and families without robbing sick and
| wounded soldiers.
