LII. dhIuO 1uS IeCelVcu Iue report Ol
the microscopical experts, Drs. Arnold.
Shakespeare and Mcconnell containing
the result of their Investigations into
the condition OF Guiteau's brain. After
careful consideration the report was
Endorsed by DR.. Lamb, and forwarded to
Philadelphia, where it will be published
in the Medical Journal. The report is
couched IN language more technical than
the report Of the surgical autopsy, and
will necessarily be almost unintelligible
to the average reader. DIR. Lamb de-
clined to express any opinion which he
may hold as q result of the examination,
saying that from his position and connec-
tion with the case 1t might be given
greater prominence than it deserved. He
would say, however, that the position
taken by DIR. Godding that Guiteau was
insane would be materially supported by
this report. The investigation had been
made under peculiarly favorable circum-
stances and the result would form COM
plete record of immense value to brain
students. The Investigation indeed, said
DR.. Lamb, had been 80 complete and
thorough that specialist would have
great difficulty IN finding cases which
might properly serve as basis of COM
parison. In conclusion, he said he did
not believe the report would change
opinions as to Guiteau's sanity to any
great extent, but that the medical fra.
ternity generally must draw their own
conclusions, and this was the court OF
last resort.

Thoughts from LandOr,

Life is but sighs, and when they cease 'tis over.
 The purest water runs from the hard est rock.
 No ashes are lighter than incense, and few things burn out sooner.
 Fancy is imagination in her youth and adolescence. Fancy Is always ex- cursive; imagination, not seldom, IS sedate.
 Whoever is an imitator by nature, choice or necessity, has nothing stable ; the hexibility which affords this aptitude is inconsistent with strength.
 To discover truth and to separate 1t from falsehood is surely an occupation worthy of the best intellect, and not all unworthy of the best heart.
 Neither worth nor wisdom come with out an effort; and patience and piety and salutary knowledge spring up and ripen from under the harrow of affiiction.

 Merit has rarely risen of itself, but 6 pebble or a twig is often quite sufficient for it to spring from to the highest as cent. There is usually some baseness before there is any elevation. The worst ingratitude lies not in the ossifed heart of him who commits 1t but we find it in the effect it produces on him against whom it was committed As water containing stony particles in cIusts with them the ferns and mosse it drops on, so the human breast hard ems under ingrA.ituds, ip proportion t, its openness and soitnsss aad its apti tude to receive tmprssSionA

A Powerful Argument.

The Legislature of Maine has repeat ediy, ia years past, passed law giving a bounty for bears killed, and as often repealed it. In 1874 lover 5000 hay ing be, paid the previous year in boun- ties by the State) bill was introduced fir a repeal by member from the shore, ving as a reason that hunters would Kill them for the meat and pelts without the bounty This brought mp a member from the backwoods, who said "The gentleman don't know what he is talking about. Most of the bars are killed when coobs, when meat and pelts are worthless.
 "Then," said the gentleman from the shore, "let them grow till they are of value"
 The country member replied ''I would like to ask the gentleman what them bars would live on while growing I'll tell you, sir-on our sheep, and now and then baby"

Canimring MonkeNs.

The monkeys are frequently captured in nooses aud traps built in the shape of houses. The only entrance is a trap door i'll the roof, which communicates with trigger set upon the ground. Food is spread about inside, the mon- keys enter, and, skir1ni hing around, disturb the trigger, and the trap shuts them in. The third method for catch ing them Is most ludicrous one. An old, hard cocoanut is taken, and very small hole made in the shell. Furnished with this and pocketful of boiled rice, the sportsman sallies into the forest, and stops beneath a tree tenanted by monkeys. Within fnll sight of these in- quisitive spectators he first eats little rice and then puts a quantity into the cocoanut with all the ostentation possi- ble. The nut Is u en laid upon the ground, and the hunter, ,setiIes to con venient ambush. Thef reader may be sure that no sooner is lthe man out of sight than the monkeys race helter-skel- ter for the cocoanuk. The first arrival peeps into it, and. seeing the plentiful store of rice inside, squeezes his hand in through the tiny hole. and clutches a utItllul. NOW, so pdrtmOunI IS greed over every other feeling connected with monkey nature, that nothing will induce the creature to relinquish his hold. With his hand thus clasped he cannot possibly extract it, but the thought that if he leaves go one of his brethren will obtain the feast is overpowering. The sportsman soon appears upon the scene; the unincrmbered monkeys fly in all di- rections, but the unfortunate brute, who still will not let the rice so, is thereby handicapped beyond hope with cocoa nut as large as himself-a state of affairs quite fatal to rapid locomotion, either terrestrial or arboreal. The sequel is that he falls an easy capture to tue hunt CT, victim to his own greed. Even when caught he reads in the actions of his captor design to rob him of his rice, and he clutches it all the harder {; and the very first thing he does when the nut is cracked and the hand released is to cram its contents into hls month. Thoughts of escape come afterward. - L0atiea Field.

The White Mountains.

The Indians, 1t is known, inhabited these mountains long before the settle ment of any portion of New England by whites. But their villages were chiefly situated upon the skirts, where the hunting and fishing were good, and the ground favorable to their primitive mode of cultivating it. His infallible eye for the best sites is sufficiently evident, since we find the Indians uncouth wig wan invariably succeeded by the most important settlements of the English.
 Otherwise, the mountains were for the American Indian, as for the natural man in all ages, a sealed book. He re- garded them not only as an image, but as the actual dwelling place of Omnipo- tence. His dreaded Manitou, whose voice was the thunder, whose anger the lightning, and on whose face no mortal could look and live, was the counterpart of the terrible Thor, the Icelandic god, | throned in palace of ice, among frozen and inaccessible peaks. So far, then, us he was concerned, the mountain re- mained inviolate, inviolable, as a kind 1 of hell filled with the despairing shrieks of those who, in an evil b. uf, trans gressed the limits sacred to immortals. The first mention l have met with of the Indian name for these mountains Is in the narrative of Capt. John Gy les, printed in Boston in 1736, saying that the White Hills, called the Teddon 1 TKatnhdin, at the head of Penobscot river, are, by the Indians, said to be much higher than those called Agiocko- chook, above Saco." The probable sig nifcation of this Indian word is, accord tug to the best living authority, "tht der" to distinguish them from tht mountains of the Penobscot.
 It is not precisely known when or how these granite peaks first took the namt of White mountains. We find them sC designated in 1872 by Josselyn, wh' himself performed the feat of ascendin; the highest summit, of which brie record is found in his "New England' Rarities."

He Was an American,

In foreign settlement east of the Cape of Good Hope there lived, not many years ago, person whom the rude public called '' the self-made man. !" They always insisted that he put him self together in the morning inserted his glass eye and his false teeth (some said added an artificial nose), adjusted his wig, strapped on his wooden leg and sallied forth. It happened that trouble broke out between the country to which he belonged and the one in which he was living; and it was then and there reported that he had gone to the United States Consul and claimed protection. On being asked on what he founded his claim, he was said to have promptly replied that his leg was made of Oregon pine. and an American dentist made his teeth.

Stories of Andrew Jackson.

When Jackson was President, Jimmy O'Neill, the Irish doorkeeper of the White House, was a marked character. He had his foibles, which often offended the fastidiousness of the Presidents nephew and Secretary, Mai. Donelson, who caused his dismissal on an average of about once week. But on appeal to the higher court the verdict was al- ways reversed by the good nature of the good old General. Once, however, Jim my was guilty of some fragrant offense, and, being summoned before the President himself, was thus addressed: "Jimmy, have borne with you for years in spite of all com plaints; but this goes beyond my pow CTS of endurance" "And do you be- lieve the story asked Jimmy. "Cer- tainly," answered the General "I have just heard it. from two Senators. |" "Faith," retorted Jimmy, eff I be heved all that twenty Senators say about you, it's little I'd think you was fit to be President. '' Pshaw, Jimmy" concluded the General, "clear out, and go back to your duty, but be more care full hereafter" Jimmy not only re- tained his place to the close of Jackson's s Presidential term, but accompanied him back to the Hermitage, and was with him to the day of his death.
 Gen. Jackson had very little love or taste for poetry, his favorite author be- ing Dr. Isaac Watts, from whose Psalms and Hymns he used to make his selections for the inscriptions in the ladies albums which were once so fash- ionable, when they were sent him with a request for his autograph.
 It is said that while President he never drank any ardent spirits. This was cor roborated by his negro servant, who said that "Massa Jackson no drink rum, but den he drink his coffee strong enough i Co kill de debbil. "- Cincinnati Gazette
