JuryHnan Bright.

Mr.. Henry J. Bright was found at his
comfortable home on Ninth street
southeast, surrounded by his family and
neighbors, who were evidently 10th to
give him up the emissary of the press.
Mr.. Bright is a man of fifty three, above
the average height, and rather stout,
with a good, square, honest face and
kindly, twinkling eyes. His appear
ance stamped him at once as one of ma
lures noblemen. He is retired bust
ness man, living at peace with himself
and all the world. ''The jury was COM
posed of sentlemen-they were all gen.
tlemen and our association under cir
cumstances which you will admit were
somewhat trying was most pleasant and
agreeable in every respect. We form
ed friendships in those seventy -four
days which viii endure while life lasts.
They are all gentlemen. Mr.. Worm
ley, the colored juror, is a perfect gen
tleman in every sense of the word. Yes,
we discussed the testimony from day
to day among ourselves in friendly,
neighborly way. We studied the assas-
sin closely, marking every word, tone,
look and gesture. There never was, so
far as my knowledge goes, any doubt in
the minds of any of the jury as to his
sanity. His speech? No, it didn't have
any effect, one way or the other.
He damaged himself very much
when under Porter's cross-exami-
nation he admitted that he thought
his notoriety would increase tae sale of
his book, and admitted that he felt re-
morse for his act. | did not regard
those performances of his in the court
room, which you characterize as 'out-
rageous,' as attemps to make us believe
he was insane. | do not think he was
playing part / think he felt that he
was in the presence of an awful peril
and that he could not afford To be other
than himself. / think ne showed his
real nature. Insane? Oh, no." and
Mr.. Bright laughed, Il never thought
for moment that he was insane. and

predicted would Rang the jury We

our orders and at once they were filed.
The walters were compelled to fall

We 60 out into the street, and walk

Juror Bran lie nburg.

The next juror visited was Mr.. f. w.
Brandenburg, who was found firmly
ensconced at his residence with his
family. Mr.. Brandenburg, in response
to inquiries from our representative,
stated his views in the following Ian
guage: AS regards the forming of
my opinion, it was not accomplished
until after the charge delivered by
Judge Cox. We retired at A. 20 and i'm
mediately proceeded to balloting, the
first resulting in eleven for conviction
and one blank. The blank ballot was
cast by one of the members who was
of the opinion that he was not suffi-
GENTLY enlightened On certain portions
of the testimony After the foreman
had given him the desired information
the second and last ballot was proceed
ed with, which was unanimous. My
opinion was not formed until all the
testimony was in and the charge had
been delivered to us. My opinion of
DR.. Spitzka and his testimony is that
he is well informed on all cases of in
sanity, and is what | would consider q
very smart man, and will in the future,
with close study, be a valuable witness
in all cases of insanity; but the prison
er In this case was not insane. My
opinion of his abuse to the prosecution
and such witnesses as did not testify to
suit his case, is that the prisoner was
confident from the first that his case
would end in conviction. He made
up his mind that he would vent his
spleen on those who did not favor his
theory, and thought that he would give
his opinion on passing events"
Mr.. Brandenburg says that the jury
were provided with all the comforts
and privileges which could be properly
accorded them.

The Royal Vault in England.
L nlD,. rE....ll
London Truth.

During the recent residence of the
court at Windsor, the queen paid two
visits to the royal vault. 1t had been
intended to decorate the sepulche with
frescoes, but the project was abandon
ed, and only the walls under and
around the recess at the end Tin which
lie the collins Of George III. and Queen
Charlotte) have been ornimented; but
seeing that the place is never entered
except by the officials when there is a
funeral, it seems foolish and absurd
waste of money to make any alteration
whatever. 1t is very large vault, and
is lighted by two oil lamps. Most of the
collins lie on the shelves, out those of
George ~. and his successor, and of
the duke of X ent, are on stone table
IN the center; and on another table,
near the gate by which the vault is en-
tered, is the last coffin placed there
that of King George of Hanover. The
queen has ordered that oak collins are
in future to be used for the royal fami-
ly, and all the crimson and gilt collins
in the vault have recently been placed
in oak cases.

Interviewing the Jurymen.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 29.-
Mr.. John p. Hamlin, the foreman of
the Guiteau jury, which has taken so
important step in the abolition of
"crankism," was found by reporter at
Masonic Temple, in company with a
number of his long-lost friends. The
scribe, in accents soft, stated his mis-
sion, but Mr.. Hamiin, who had had ten
solid weeks of Guiteau, was more inter-
ested in other matters. The seductive
pumping process was then applied with
a gentle pressure and the following was
elected: He said that for the first two
weeks the members of the jury were
slow in getting acquainted. This was
probably because OF the way their
rooms were situated. The jury was at
the end Of hall by themselves, with
rooms on each side of a hall, but there
was hall that led away from the jury
hall, aud sometimes ladies and other
guests of the hotel would pass through
the hall where we would be smoking or
talking, but as our jailcr-that's what
we called him--would warn them none
of them ever spoke to any one of us
who happened to be out in the hall.
How did we pass the time? Well, the
first two weeks we rather moped
around, but later we got acquainted
with each other, as l told you before,

The Cabinet.
GOSSIP.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Some of the
presidents friends say next week he
will make lot of important nomina.
tons, chief of which will be for the
cabinet A new man has been talked
of little for day or two in connec.
ton with the secretaryship of the int.
rior. 1t is ex-senator Booth, of Cali
fornia. His friends claim that he is a
stronger man on the Pacific coast than
Mr.. Sargent. He made an acceptable
governor of California, and was elected
as Il peoples candidate to the senate,
although he was an out and out repub-
lican, and always acted with that party
at the capital. His record is clean, and
he is said to be the representative of
the interests of the masses as opposed
to the discriminating policy of the
Central Pacific railroad in the
local issues that have been prominent
in California politics. What the pres-
dent thinks about the proposition to
take him as Pacific coast representa-
tive his friends do not say, however,
and, so far as known, consideration OF
the latter is confined chiefly to persons
who don't have the making of cabinet
officers. The friends of ex-senator
Sargent profess to be not disturbed at
the report that Booth is a possibility.
They say that Senator Miller has rea.
son to be assured that Sargent will be
appointed, and he is understood to be
q staunoh advocate of his choice from
his state Or the slope, but of all who
have been mentioned Senator Jones, OF
Nevada, has also been warm advocate
of Sargent.
William E. Chambers friends are
still confident he will be made secre-
tary of the navy. Indeed no one else
IS talked of now. What is to be done
with Secretary Hunt is not known.
He is said to desire place on the su.
preme bench, and his friends endeav
cred to secure his appointment to the
position now filed by Judge Gray. 1t
is generally thought that either New
York man or Senator Edmunds will be
given the place made vacant by the bill
to retire Judge Ward Hunt.

and we all chuInmed very much to-
gether. After the two weeks we began
to play whist and seven-up. The two
men who were in each room began
talking with their neighbors, and before
the prosecution ended we were all well
acquainted. About Wormley? Well,
he's as white a man as ever saw in
dark envelope. We all like him; he's
mighty nice man. Mrs. Scoville's
testimony didn't do Guiteau any good.
! won't say any more; but it didn't do
any good with any of US. The expert
testimony interested us at first, but it
soon got tedious, and we got disguised
when they put that horse doctor on the
stand. The Guiteau crowd didn't seem
to dare to put their called experts on the
stand. Guiteau himself would have
done better with us if he had kept his
head shut. Would / have been inf1u-
enped if Guiteau had shut up after the
first two weeks? Well, / don't think
so. thought from the first that the
man was playing part. / just looked
at it this way: He shot General Gar
field and the testimony showed that he
shot him because he was wild appli-
cant for Office. We left the court
room after the judges charge for the
jury room, and the indictment was
first cad in full, so that all the mem
hers of the jury could remember in
full what we had been trying. We
then took an informal ballot, with the
result of eleven for conviction as guilty
as indicted but one ballot was blank.
The next ballot was taken at once,
when the whole twelve ballots were for
the result that had the homer of re-
porting to the court and to the Ameri-
can people, that and my confreres
had to state that Guiteau was guilty as
indicted. Well, Pm tired out Sit
ting in a chair for seventy-three days

lected-I don't feel as if | wanted to
sit down for week. We had good
times, rs far as good times could go
when we had a jailor in charge over us;
yet it was rough after all. The allow
ances were fair, however; we all had
grog at each meal and a cigar after
ward" Mr.. Hamlin, on 4nis release
from the jury-box, received all the
letters which had accumulated for him
for nearly eleven weeks, among which
he found a number of threatening ones
from cranks.

Ends in the great gray sea;
The acorn. for ever ...id ever
Strives upward to the tree
The rainbow, the sky adjoining,

The glimmer of coming morning
Through midnight gloom will form.
Bv time all knots are riven,

And peace wi | mt last be given,
Dear, both to you and to me.
Then, though the path may be dreary,
Look onward to the goal;
Though the heart and the head be weary,
Let faith inspire the soul;
Seek the right, though wrong be tempting,
Speak truth at any cost;
Vain is all weak exempting
When once the gem is lost
Let strong hand and keen eye be ready
For plain and ambushed foes;
Thought earnest and fancy steady
Bear best unto the close.
The heavy clouds may be raining,
But with evening comes the light;
Though the dark low winds are complaining
Yet the sunrise gilds the height,
And love has its hidden treasure
For the patient and the pure;

The City Crowded.
HOTELS OVERTURNED AND APPLICANTS FOR
ROOMS TURNED AWAY.


ROOMS TURNED AWAY.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-1he city is
filed to OVERLOOKING with visitors, and
the existing accommodation have been
taxed to their utmost to meet the de-
mand The crowd is not thing of to-
dav, but has been coming into the city
for the past week. The hotel keepers
have been driven to their wits end to
find rooms for all that have applied,
and every available space that could,
with any show of reason, be called a
room has been brought into use. But
there is limit to all things, and last
evening the arrivals on the trains found
at all the principal hotels that there
were no rooms. This was the case at
the Arlington, the Riggs, Wormley's
the Ebbit, and Wizards, and other
hotels may have also turned applicants
away. Such flood of prosperity has
not struck the Washington hotel men
for some years, except, Of course, on
special occasions Just now there is no
special reason for the throng of visitors;
and another thing, they have the pleas
ing characteristic of not being particu-
lar about the size of the bills. They
are a substantial sort of people that are
finding their way to the capital this
winter, and in consequence there is Il
hustle of prosperity about the city that
is inspiring If it is found that there
are not enough hotels to meet the de-
mand, others can be built, and in any
event the visitors can be accommo-
dated, let them come in what numbers
they may.

THE REASONS WHY CONGRESS INCREASES
HER PENSION.

THE REASONS WHY CONGRESS INCREASES
HER PENSION.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The. bill for
the relief of Mrs. Lincoln, reported to
the senate and passed by both houses,
was accompanied with report from
the committee on pensions, submitted
by Senator Blair, in which it is said:
"The evidence before the committee
has proved that Mrs. Lincoln is not in
possession of a sufficient income
to provide properly for her
almost helpless and in constant pain
from incurable diseases, requiring daily
and expensive medical treatment, and
that her means are insufficient to ena-
BILE her to procure the same much less to
to retain that respectable position in life
which the American people would de-
sine. While the committee have made
as close inquiry into
HER PECUNIARY AFFAIRS
as they have deemed to be consistent
with a decent respect for Mrs. Lincoln
and for the memory of the great
dead, to whom the Indebtedness
of the American people is
without measure, and Will
be without end, they would not be un-
derstood to have prosecuted their
search into her private affairs with the
minute difference of detective, or
with view to parsim onious economy
in dealing with the widow OF the dead
president. But it is evident to the
committee that her entire income from
her present pension of $1,000 yearly is
less than one-half the actual expendi-
lures which her distressing condition,
which can only be varied by growing
worse, now requires. Beyond this sum
are the unavoidable expenses incident
to her station in life, for which she suf-
fers and which the country should sup
ply.

The recent accident to General Carr
baldi was due to the upsetting of his
carriage. He was driving along steep
road near his island home at'Maddale-
ma at the time, ard had his head and
limbs severely bruised against the
stones. At first he was stunned by the
shock, but on recovering, saw that his
little son Manlio was in tears, and ex-
claimed to him: "You want to become
a good soldier, and are afraid of two
