The Disposition Of Guiteau'e
Body.

Chicago June 3O.--A Washington
special TO the San Francisco Chron-
icle says: There is considerable mys-
terry about the disposition Of the
body Of Guiteau. 1t is given out at
the Jail that it was buried within
the enclosure Of the Jail, though we
incline to the theory that it is not.
His heart, brain, lungs, and other
portions of the body are known to
be in the United States medical mu-
scum, where are also the liver, heart,
and other portions Of Garfield. II
il understood the reason why the
mystery Is made about where the
frame Of Guiteau is deposited is to
keep it from falling into the hands
of spectators, whose agents are
ready 70 rob any grave it may be
put in TO get possession. There is
much comment on the conduct Of
Hicks, who has announced several
times that he has in his keeping
some secrets about the assassination
which when divulged will startle the
country. 1t is thought that in this
way he expects to increase the sale
of the book he intends to publish.
Mrs. Scoville was travelling about
the newspaper offices tonight trying
to sell some letters that she has, but
SO far has not found a purchaser for
them. She sold her letter to the
president several days since to the
associated press agent, refusing to
give q copy unless it was. paid for.
1t appears that every one who has
been connected with the case from
its inception has been on the make,
the last efforts in that direction be-
ing those Of Hicks.

Thoreau's HIGHWAY,

Now I yearn for one of those old,
meandering, dry, uninhabited roads,
which lead away from towns, which lead
us away from temptation; where you
may forget in what country you are
travelling; where no farmer can complain
that you are treading down his grass;
along which you may travel like pill
grim going nowhither; where the spirit
is free; where the walls and flowers are
not cared for; where your head is more
in heaven than your feet is on earth
which have long reaches where you can
see the approaching traveller half mile
off and beprepared for him; some stump
and root fences which do not need atten-
ton; where it makes no odds which way
you face, whether you are going or COM
ing, whether it is morning or evening,
midday or midnight; where you can
pace when your breast is full and cher
ish your moodiness; where you are not
in false relations with men. The trees
must not be too numerous nor the hills
too near, bounding the view; way
where no geese hiss along it, but only
sometimes their wild brethren fly fan
overhead; where the small red butterfly
is at home on the yarrow, and no boy
threatens it with imprisoning hat; the
road whence you may hear whip-poor-
will or quail on a mid summer day.
All there is the road where you might
adventure to fly, and make no prepare
ton till the time comes there [ car
walk and stalk and plod.

positively, though we afterward found

behring's have absorbed certain pro-

feet bloaters with an unmatched delicacy
of flavor. They have so little salt in
them and are SO finely cured that they
are too per1shable to be sent any dis
lance, and thus it is that in this con-
ditlon the bloater is only known to those
who are in or near Yarmouth. Smoked
Tor longer period, and sailed, they are
prepared for the foreign markets, and an
exposure OF twelve or thirteen days to
the fumes of the oak produces the vul-
gar red herring. The stale fish, and
those which have lost their heads or are
in any way disfgured, are packed in bar
rels and compressed by machine like
cheese-press, in which form they are
sent to Italy, where they may often be
seen in the shop windows adding shin
ing disk to the glitter of Venetian day.

The Yarmouth BIoater,
(W. 81. Rideing, in Harper's Magazin

nv. 81. Rideing, in Harper's Magazne.l
The glory Of Yarmouth is in its
bloater, but the highest qualities of the
bloater are so heeting that only those
who live in or near the town can know
how deserved the glory is. Take one of
the primest of these herrings, "spit it,
and smoke it for between eighteen and
twenty -four hours; thus the common
herring is transmitted into the delicate
and Incompatible bloater. The arsenal
like red brick buildings seen in many
parts of the town are used for this pur-
pose. The choicest of the behring's,
technically "bloater stuff" are selected,
and threaded through the gills on sticks
or "spits" about a yard long, and
placed in racks, one above the other, to
height of thirty feet or more, in a
building called the smoke-house. One
man stands in the racks with his legs
astraddle, and puts spit after "spit "
in position, about twenty-five behring's
being on each "spit, until thousands of
the fish are hanging like stalactites

HAUNTED BY A HORSE.
BY HELEN HARCOURT,

1t seems an odd thing to say-and
very likely you will not believe it-but
there was time in my life when [ was
haunted by horse, just as truly and ir-
resistibly as ever a wretched sinner was
haunted by remorse; and that, to my
mind, means a good deal more than if [
said "haunted by ghost" for I don't
believe In ghosts, and do believe In re-
morse, for I have felt it and been
haunted by it myself, and that, not for
any very great sins either,
My father was a-merchant in one of
our great western cities-a good, honor
able man, but, withal, stern and harsh
to his children IN bis endeavors to guide
them Alright.
The result of this unwise rule was
such as might have been anticipated;
one of my brothers ran off to sea, and
was drowned on his first voyage; an
other enlisted IN the army; and [, after
a violent quarrel with my father, turned
my back on my home, as l believed, for
ever.
I was the youngest sen, and, after our
mothers death, had net with more indul-
gence than my brothers; but there were
times when the flint in my fathers dis
position and the steel In mine came into
violent contact.
And so it came about that Ia hot
headed youth of twenty, just home from
college, the proud winner of hard-won
prizes-went out into the world to seek
my fortune.
I CHANGED to have $50 in my pocket,
and this sum sufEced to carry me the
greater part of the way to the point I
had fixed upon as the scene of the first
act in the drama of my future fortunes.
There were no railroads, IN those days
across the great western prairies; they
had to be crossed on horseback or in
wagons, and to do either required money
more money than 1 possessed, by far.
And SO my march came to sudden
halt on the verge of the great plains,
and / was forced to look on, while cara
van after caravan of eager seekers after
gold rolled out of the little town, where
my last dollar had stranded me.
Gold-seekers-for the California fever
was at its height, and hundreds and
thousands Of men, reckless and desper-
ate as was myself, were rushing to the
gold-felds with all possible speed.
Weary and heartsick, with aching
head and dragging limbs, 1 wandered
out beyond the town. 1t was a cloudy
day. with a cold wind, clustering wind
that told of snowhakes near at hand;
but paid no heed to the weather-the
inner storm eclipsed the outer.

Cured of Stammerino.

Miss Fox tells an amusing anecdote,
in her journal, one which illustrates the
value of certificates of cure:
Mr.. Gregory told us that going the
other day by steamer from Liverpool to
London, he sat by an old gentleman who
would not talk, but only answered his
inquiries by mods or shakes of the head.
When they went down to dinner, he de-
termined to make him speak if possible;
so he proceeded
"You're going to London, I sup
pose?
A nod.
''I shall be happy to meet you there;
where are your quarters 2"
There was no repelling this, so his
friend with the energy of despair, broke
OUT
"I-I-I-I-I-I'm g-g-g-going to ODD
Doctor Dr-Br-Br- Brewster to be c-c-c-
cured of this sl-sl-slight im-impediment
in my sp-sp speech"
At this instant a little white face which
had not appeared before popped out
from one of the berths and struck in,

The Sky Crofters.
fFrom the London News. !

To the stranger accustomed to the
symmetrical cottages of rural England,
Highland cotter's bothy appears mis-
cradle edifce. Its walls consist of rude,
unhewn boulders, rolled down from the
neighboring hillside and piled one over
the other, the interstices being filled up
with turf from the adjacent moor. I'm
dressed birch boughs, cut from the
struggling trees that grow on the banks
of the nearest burn, matched over with
the wild heather found on the cottage
site, form a roof not always impervious
to wet and wind. Inside the hut the
prospect is hardly moro inviting. The
glowing peat fire, which generally burns
night and Gay in one of the two rooms
into which the cabin is divided, casts a
dim and Pickering light around. The
rafters overhead are black with the
smoke, Or, as it is called in Scotland, the
Greek" of many years. The floor is
simply beaten clay, sometimes strewn
over with fresh-cut heather. A chair or
two of ancient pattern, rough deal
table, and sometimes, but not always, a
bed constitute the furniture. The High
lander of the moor, even yet, as In days
gone by, is content to repose on no more
luxuriant couch than heap of bracken.
In one corner will generally be found a
tub containing the skin of the last sheep
slain or found dead on the hill, STEPPED
in tan water. In another Will stand the
spinning wheel, for these western Crof-
tiers, when they can, tan the leather
which covers their feet with 'sbrogues !"
as they produce the thick and comfort
able homespun in which they are clothed.
Frequently one end of the hut consti-
tutes the "byre, where sheep and cat
tie find nightly shelter from the incle-
ment wintry weather. But there is al
ways stone partition separating the
dwellings, of the beasts from that of the
human beings. The above description
will not, as I have said, appear attrac-
tive to the Lowlander; but this Crofter,
with his breezy hillside, his sweet-scent-
ing heather, his springs of pure, delicious
water, his own house and plot of ground,
and above all his independence, would
scorn to exchange his lot for that of the
laborer huddled into the slums of the
larger towns.
