THE Guiteau trial was proceeded with
on the s7th, before densely packed court
room. Upon reaching his seat Guiteau
looked around smiiinriy and said: II had

else did. had lots OF fruits. flowers and
lady visitors and good time" The exam
nation OF experts regarding the prisoners
sanity was continued, the principal witness
being Or. Z. A. Macdonald, SupeTiniend-
emit of the Ward Island Insane Asylum, New
York. His evidence was strongly against
the insanity theory, and he said he believed
the prisoner had been studiously playing a
part ever since his Incarceration. Guteau
furnished the reporters with a long ''Chr1st-
mas greeting'' addressed to the American
peopIe, in which he again brought forward
the inspirational theory rs a justification OF
his great crime. A sensational episode in
the trial occurred on the ssth, when Guiteau
was placed in the prisoners dock, by order
of the Court, on account Of his persistent
violation OF order and decorum. In en-
forcing this decision Judge Cox said in ef-
feet that the extreme latitude hitherto per-
mitted the prisoner had been for the pur-
pose Of affording the experts in court the
fullest opportunity TO judge of his mental
n
trict-Attorney has expressly desired this
freedom be granted the prisoner. The ex-
pert testimony being now about concluded,
the Court said no further good could result
from these unseemly exhibitions of the pris-
oner, and he should therefore insist hereaf-
Arupon the orderly conduct Of the case.
Gnfteau at first manifested the greatest re-
pugnance to being removed to the prisoners
dock, promising to keep quiet if allowed to
remain inside the bar. The order was,
however, enforced, and the prisoner took
his place in court for the first time as a com
mon criminal.

Of all the various breeds of neat
cattle there is none that surpasses
the Jersey III deer-like grace and
high bred appearance. Under the
fostering influence of genial eli
mate, fertile soil, kind and gener-
Gus treatment, and a scrupulous
watchfulness as to purity of blood
the Jersey COW has ripened into a
small, gentle and exceedingly use.

ness and for milk; for butter and

that the clear, full eye is usually en-

PRICE OF SUBSCRIPTION:

Il OWNERS OF
L0Wu dea G,0uufy. Tfag.

The undersigned are now fully estab-
lished in your midst as Manufacturers, and
from the nature Of our business feel an az
tive interest in anything which will pro-
mote TO its fullest extent the prosperity of
the Agricultural and increase the WELD Of
the soil. II is generally admitted by YOU
that most of the land in this section needs
stimulus in the shape Of a fertilizer, but
being lmpracticable in most instances, es-
pecially where the land is rented TO freed
men. We find upon investigation that
the great stumbling block existing is the
unwillingness of tenants to fertilize the
land they cul iyate. To counter act this.
and bring about different feeling, we pro-
pose to take an initiatory step, and invite
your cooperation and kind suggestions in
attaining the results in view. We propose
the following scheme: Name ten good. re
liable and thrifty freedmen, and we will
furnish each 1000 pounds of our Standard
FertiIizer-"guano'-to be paid for in cot
ton seed or cash next fall. The fertilizer
so furnished to Re applied according 20
best formulas in our possession on five
acres each of corn and cotton. As an in
centIye to the ten chosen tenants to excel
in the experiment, we offer a premium of
S2s IN gold TO the one who exhibits the best
re'ults on the FIVE acres in corn, and pre-
mium OF s2s in gold TO the one who pro-
duces the largest yield on the five acres in
cotton The premiums 10 be awarded bv

An Artistic Heaven.

A retired manufacturer, one of the
practical sort of men, who had more of
the love of display than aesthetic taste
to properly sustain it strolled into the
studio of New Haven artist few
years ago, and after examining some of
the paintings thrust his thumb into the
armholes of his vest, and clearing his
throat, said to the artist:
''Ahemi / have thought for some
time that | would give you an order for
a picture"
:" Should be happy" replied the art
list modestly.
What | should like would be pict-
ure representing child at prayer, with
an angel lowering over it, and a view
of Heaven in the distance. Could you
paint picture like that?''
"Y-e-es, think So" was the reioin-
der. @
"Very well, you can paint it. 1 care
nothing about the expense if it only
suits me. I'll pay one hundred and
fifty dollars for it.
Now the artist was trife perplexed
as to the detail of the work before him.
The child at prayer and the lowering
angel were simple enough; any dabster
with a brush could paint those. But the
''Heaven in the distance was not So
easily overcome. Calling in a friend b.
consulted with him. 'sHow do yos
suppose Heaven looks, anyhow?'
"Well,'' said the friend, waggishly
g L suppose it looks something like tbs
first view of the city of Albany, Ii,
great dome of the capitol in the centS
-and-''
That's the idea" exclaimed Il =
artist, Il see. | will paint the figureI-
and sky full of clouds with hole -
the center, and put Albany in for til
Heaven
A pictorial sketch of Albany was i'm
mediately sent for, the artist finished
the picture. with that ancient city of
the Dutch as the distant Heaven. the
patron of art was delighted, paid the
bill, and the picture hung in his parlor
in this city for long me.-AeD
