Mrs. Scoyille One ola Bad Lot.

In the Scoville insanity case now being
heard in Chicago Fanny Scoville Harper,
the daughter, testified that she intercept
ed note from george E Earle, the Chica-
go correspondent of the St. Paul Globe, to
Mrs. Scoville, the contents of which were
improper, and had seen her mother kiss
three men and had heard of many Others
she had kissed. She declined to give names
DR.. A. McFarlane of Jacksonville Illinois,
who was subpenaed but did not testify in
the Gniteau murder trial, and who has been
for twenty years in hospitals for the insane
in New Hampshire and Illinois, said eight
cen years ago Luther w. Guiteau brought to
him an insane sister for treatment From
Guiteau's talk, which was very peculiar, he
set him down as crazy man. The impress
sion was very strong on witness, and he
readily saw low Luther's son could enter
into state of min d to kill President Gar
field. He met Mrs. Scoville in Washington
last winter, She had fierce controversy
with John W. Guiteau about witness testi-
mony. John declared that nobody should
testify that his father was insane Mrs.
Scoville said he should testify, and said that
all the family were predisposed to insanity
He believed Mrs Scoville's tainting and
epilepsy were sure to produce insanity. Her
being chaste and loving wife until recently,
and her sudden change, was evidence to
him. He held, in short, that the whole
family, including John W., was of unsound
mind and insane.
Morris tribune., 1882-11-02
Good and Bad Bedouins.

Egyptian Correspondence n Y World.
A great deal of just Indignation has
been felt and freely expressed by the
British here at the horrible way in
which the bodies of English troops
have been mutilated, in some cases these
nutilations being exceedingly disgusting
Until to-day it was thought that this was
done by the Egyptians. This morning,
however, body of 20 horsemen wac
seen approaching the British camp, cal
rying white flags, and Major Torrens,
accompanied by few officers and men,
rode out to meet them. They turned
out to be the Emir Hairreddin, head of
the Yemman tribe of Bedouins, accom-
panied by two of his lieutenants and
about Is followers with five baggage
mules. The emir, who is about 60 years
ofage, is a handsome, tall and well-built
man, Of noble bearing and commanding
appearance. He vas dressed in the
particular costume of his tribe and wore
gold star called Ferrai, denoting his
rank. The horse he was riding was
pure Needee, Of immense value, and all
eyes were bent upon it, as it is very sell
dom, even in these parts, that one
meets with the pure breed.
All his followers were ex-
ceedingly we'll dressed and mounted, the
tout ensemble reminding me very much
Of the paintings of the Mamelukes in the
Versailles gallery. They were accompa-
MED by Copt dragoman, who spoke
verv good English, through whom the
emir asked Major Torrens if he was the
officer commanding the British troops,
and on being answered in the negative
he said he wanted to see the British
general, to whom alone he would COM
municate the cause of his visit. The
picturesque little body was then conduct
ed through the camp to headquarters,
where it was met by Sir Garnet Wolse-
lev and staff The emir then dismount-
ed, all his men presented arms, and
walking to the baggage mules, pulled off
the rugs which covered their loads and
disclosed the uniforms and guns which
had been stolen from the dead British
soldiers. He then told Sir Garnet,
through an interpreter, that early
in the morning they had dis
covered that the Yalla tribe of Bedouins
had robbed the dead and then mutilated
the bodies; that they had summoned
them to give up the booty, and upon
their refusing, had fought the tribe, and
after beating them had shot every man
who had any share IN the sacrllege.
They now brought the uniforms and
arms back to the English, they, SAID so
that they should know that the Egyp-
tians were incapable of mutilating and
robbing bodies, and that, although IN
fortunately, they were Bedouins who
were capable ofcommitting such crimes,
there were other Bedouins who were
ready to sacrifice their lives in punish
ing them. These words made quite a
favorable impression on the British
troops, of whom large numbers had been
attracted tn the scene, and they gave
three hearty cheers for the old emir,
who mounted his charger and rode of,
followed by his suite.
