II was printed in the Cincinnati Commercial that
"prominent person in Washington, stalwart,
said that President Arthur would pardon Guiteau.
whcreat the Chicago Inter- Ocean said the publica-
ton was outrageous; TO which Halste0d replied
that one of his correspondents telegraphed d the
foolish thing" (IIalsead's faryorite refuge Is be-
hind correspondent or proof reade) whereupon
the IRtsr- OCEAN mildly expresses the opinion that
the whole thing was manufactured out of pure
cussedness and printed in the same spirit" That
is about II, without any doubt.

THE IDIOT EARL.

Connected with the Dukes residence in
Queensbery House, against which the
whole fury and maledictions of the mob
were directed at the time of the union,
there is a tale of awful mystery and horror.
His eldest son, James, Earl of Drumlanrig,
is simply stated in the old peerage "to have
died young" 1t is now proved, however,
that he was an idiot Of the most wretched
kind, rabid and gluttonous as a wild ami
NAL, and grew to an enormous stature, as
his leaden and unornamented coffin in the
family vault at Durisdeer attests at this day.
This monstrous and unfortunate creature
was always confined in ground floor room
of the western wing Of Queensbefey House,
and until these few yeass the boards still
remained by which the windows of the
dreadful receptacle were -darkenes. to pre-
vent the idiot from looking out or being
SEEN" sA s4sJ
On the day the treaty of union was passed
all Edinburgh crowded to the vicinity of the
Parliament House to wait the issue of the
| final debate; and the whole household of
the Duke-the high commissioner-went
! thither en- mdSse for that purpose, and, per-
| haps, to prevent him from being torn to
pieces by the exasperated people, and among
them went the valet whose duty ii was to
watch and attend the Earl of Drumlanrig.
Hearing all unusually still in the vast house,
the latter contrived to bres.k out of his den,
and roamed wildly from room to room, till
| certain savory odors DIRE W him into the
great kitchen, where u little turnspit sat
quietly on stool by the fire. He seized the
boy, took the meat from the fire, stripped
and spitted him, and he was found deyour-
| ing the half-roasted body when the Duke
| returned with his train from his political
| triumph to find dire horror awaiting him.
The common people, among whom the
| dreadful tale soon spread, in spite of the
Dukes endeavors to suppress it, said that il
was judgment upon him for his odioui
share in the union. The story runs that the
Duke, who had previously regarded his OF
spring with no eye of affection, immsdiatel.
| ordered the creature to be smothered. Bn
this is mistake the idiot is known to have
died in England, and to have survived hi
father many years, though he did not sue
ceed him upon his death in 17l1, when tn
titles devolyed upon Charles, younge
| brother,-CdsSelPs t)Id and Nea0 Edinbu'YA
