New York Letter to Boston Gazette.
Have you heard of the instantaneous
Photographic instrument II is q great
Invention. The instrument is no larger
than a well filled pocketbook, yet it Is
SO complete that every man can be his
own photographer without any trouble.
The process OF taking the picture Is as
simple as writing. You simply hold
the Instrument before the object to be
taken and there 1t is. believe the
policemen of London are armed with
them, and they flash their camera on .
rogue with as much ease as you woRld q
dark lantern. No u after how swiftly
an object ia moving, it can be taken. l
know of one enthusiastic man who
claims that they will be the reporters
notebook of the future. For example,
he is writing an article on the Brooklyn
bridge, and as he writes he uses his
camera. When he goes home he devel-
ops his plates, and consequently has q
correct picture of the scene before him.
| Indeed he never goes out Of the house
without this instrument in his pocket,
and be keeps his friends supplied with
pictures. am little afraid of the
a use of this invention. An unprincI-
pied rascal seeing pretty glrl ON the
avenue can whip out his camera and
have her face at once transferred to the
plate. The instruments are quite cheap
$50 l believe 1t is that they cost-so
here is fun for the million. How pleas
ant when taking a walk in the country
to reproduce the Landscape for ones own
qualification or that of these at home
| You see a lamb friskinI by its mother e
side, and in a moment, while its heels
are kicking In the air, you have it down
before you. If l was going to travel in
Europe should certainly take pocket
camera along with me. ANY curious
sight you can reproduce in the twiRklIng
of an eye. have seen pictures of NOV
ing crowds, of ships in motion, of men
rowing, and horses racing taken by this
process with the most remarkable &C
curacy.

Guiteaz Not to Hang Before Next
May.

WASHINGTON, Jan. San eminent
lawyer here is authority for the state
ment that Guiteau has at least lease
of life till next May, even should he
promptly be found guilty of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to be
hanged. The distinguished legal
authority says that there is statute
in force in the Dis rict, more or less
ancient and somewhat awkward, di-
recting that sentence of death shall
not be executed until thirty days after
the beginning of the next term OF court
succeeding that at which sentence is
pronounced. This would throw the
hanging over to some time next May
even if the jury this week should Gnd
him guilty and Judge Cox shouli at
once pronounce sentence of death.
The wretch would thus be allowed to
nauseate the American people and
indulge his inordinate propensity for
notoriety for four months longer. In
the mean time he can occupy himself
with manufacturing sympathy and
preparing petitions for clemency.

defense spoke OF the burden Of proof
in respect of insanity, treating it gem
orally. In any event His Honor would
define it by speaking Of doubt in re-
spect Of the legal standard of responsi-
bility and would indicate what was
meant by reasonable doubt"
Mr.. Keed--I admit that it will be
Your Honor's duty to tell the jury
what reasonable doubt' is. The
question Of what constitutes insanity
we submit is question solely for the
jury.
The Court-The question of respon-
sibility is for the Court ; the question
of fact for the jury.
Mr.. Davidge (to Mr.. Scoville-Yeu
cannot tumble this question of insanity
into the jury box. The Court will say
what is legal insanity.
Mr.. Reed-YoUr Honor will give
your views as to what constitutes in
sanity, but whether this defendant
was of sound mind or not 10 q question
for the jury. IL there any argument
made against the reasoning of Judge
Breese, 10 Illinois, Judge Bellows, In
New Hampshire, and Judge Chalmers,
Of Mississippi Ought not that to be
the lawf In this case, all we ask Is
that Your Honor shall say to the jury,
describing to them, explaining to
them what Is meaut by q reasonable
doubt. "1f you, on your oaths, have
reasonable doubt of the sanity of the
accused at the time he shot the Presi-
dent it is your duty to give him the
benefit of that doubt and say he is not
guilty"
Mr.. scovILLE's ARGUMENT.
Mr.. ScovilIe rose to close the arRus
ment in support of the prayers asked
by the defense. He first commented
on the absence of the jury. He said
that he did not complain Of 1T but 1t
was one of the incidents of the trial
which he could not help noticing.
The language of a Judge in an
English case Is: "Any disease that
disturbs the mind 80 that q man can
not think calmly and nationally OF all
the different reasons to which we refer
in considering the rightness or wrong
ness of an act, any disease that SO
disturbs the mind that it cannot per-
form that duty with some moderate
degree of calmness and reason, may be
fairly said to prevent man knowing
that what he did was wrong" If
Your Honor CONTINUED Mr.. Scoville)
will sharge the jury like that in this
case we shall be very we'll satisfied.
The court at 8 o'clock adjourned till
Monday, Mr.. Scoville not having closed
his argument.

that England should have her own

nothing from the abolition of the
International Commission, the Egyp-

from the abolition or remodelling of

a long time. The journeys of the
Palace officials to the Upper Bos-
phorus, which were formerly of
daily and nightly occurrence, have
completely ceased, and the Draso-
mans of the Embassies can once
more devote themselves to ordinary
current affairs, which consist chiefly
Of pecuniary private claims against
the Turkish Government. There is
naturally a considerable amount Of
latent disappointment and irritation,
both in official and unofficial circles;
but, at the same time, it is pretty
generally admitted that the Govern
ment has itself to blame for the some
what undignified position in which it
is placed. Even in circles where
irritation against England is strong
est the feeling is not allowed to find
public expression. The native papers,
which derive their inspiration direct
Iy from the Palace, speak of England
as a friend and ally of Turkey, and
reserve all their wrath and vitupe-
ration for their former idol, Arab,
who is now represented as a monster
ofiniquity unfit to live.
