WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February A.
It is understood that after the circu
lar of invitation for an international
congress was issued, another set of
instructions was given to Minister
Treast, authorizing him when he left
Chill to return to Buenos Ayres and
Rio de Janeiro. The date of the
meeting, as the circular states, was
put at ninety days in the hope thai
the existing differences in Sout.
America might at that time be ar
ranged and all take peaceful part
in the general congress. The Presi
dents attention was first called to
the second instruction, authorizing
Treast to visit Brazil and the Argen
tine Republic with express reference
to this international congress, thus
precipitating the whole matter, and
directed that Treast should not go
on that mission, and the President
has not renewed the invitation to
the international congress.
1t is understood that a congress
is now assembled. It is proposed
to introduce the whole subject to it,
and he will be controlled in his action
by its will The instructions. do not
refer to Europe or to any other for
eign power than those which were
to be reached by invitation to the
international congress. Whether
Mr.. Frelinghuysen's phraseology ad-
mits of broader construction is
not question which concerns the
President. What he directed simply
was that Treast should not have
consultation and negotiations with
two of all foreign powers on this
continent.

men will think that some political or
morbid desire for self advancement
was the real inspiration for
the act. But your testimony showed
that you deliberately resolved to do
it, and that a misguided will was yonr
sole impulse.
This may seem insanity to some,
but the law looks upon it as wilful
crime. You will have due
opportunity of having any err
rors that may have been COM
mitted during the course of
the trial passed upon by the court in
banc. But meanwhich it is neces>
sary for me to pronounce sentence of
the law, that you be taken hence to
the common joil of the district from
whence you come, and there be kept
in confinement until Friday, the
18th day of June, 1882, that you be
taken to the place of execution with
in the walls of said jail, and then and
there, between the hours OF, II m
and 2 p. M, you be hanged by the
neck until you are dead, and may the
Lord have mercy on your soul.
During the reading Guiteau stood
apparently unmoved and with his
gaze riveted on the Judge; but when
the fual words were spoken he struck
the table violently and shouted:
I 'And may the Lord have mercy on
yonr soul! I'd rather stand where I
do than where that jury does and
where your honor does. I'm not
afraid to die I stand here as Gods
man, and God Almighty will curse
every man who has had a part in
procuring this unrighteous verdict.
Nothing but good has come
from Garfeld's removal, and that
will be verdict of posterity on my
inspiration. I don't care snap for
the verdict of this corrupt genera
ton, would rather, thousand
times, be in my position than that Of
those who have bounded me to death
I shall have a glorious fight to glory
but that miserable scoundrel, Cork
hill, will have a permanent job down
below, where the devil is preparing
for him"
After apparently talking himsel
out, the prisoner turned to his broth
er, and, without the slightest trace
of excitement, conversed for some
moments before being taken from
the Court room.

Murder in Virginia.

LYNcHBURG, Va, FEBRUARY "A
young store clerk named Atkinson
was found murdered last night at
Sycamore, Spottsylvania County, by
a man named Yates who escaped. It
is not known what incensed the mur-
derer to the deed. The two men left
the station together, which was the
last that was seen of them until this
morning, when the body of Atkinson
was found on the side Of the railroad
with heavy log of wood across it.
Later developments from the
Pittsylvania homicide, indicate that
Yates, the murderer, who suspected
Atkins of intimacy with his (Yates)
wife, called at the latter's place OF
business, and invited him to take a
walk, and the next morning Atkins
was found near the railroad with
his brain pierced with bullet and a
log across his body. Yates has not
yet been captured. E#e#

Now this is not practicable outside of
books. To be sure you have read of boys
becoming bloodthirsty Williams, in velvet
pants and top boots, in marvelously
short time, but as rule the boys who
start out to duplicate those yellow COW
cred fellows, bring up in some isolated
jail and instead Of velvet pants they are
adorned in real life with ragged overalls
with the vitals worn out sitting around
in lonely places waiting for the beautiful
maiden to come and fall in love with
them as they do in the book. But I have
found way for you to crafty your long
cherished desires. L want you to arm
yourself with double-edged grammar
and self-cocking arithmetic and skulk
down to the school house Monday bright
and early. When school calls conceal
yourself behind your book, and whenever
you see an opportunity jump onto diff
cult problem and probe it through and
through. After you have to all appear

and make it prove itself. By the time
you have followed this up couple of
months you will begin to receive some of
the notoriety you crave and will be
looked upon as The Startler, or the Boy
Mathematician. By the end of the term
you will be pointed out to admiring spec
tators as The Double Entry Wonder of

You think now that this will satisfy

you will be standing before hall full OF

until your friends would hardly recog-

The Blind Bride.

We know not who invented. this in,
strument OF horse torture, but we know
he did not understand the anatomy and
physiology of the eye of a horse. Human
vision is binOcular-that is we see the
same object with both eyes and so ad-
just the axis of vision that the object
appears single, though seen with both
eyes. But the eyes of the horse are
placed on the side of the head and the
axis of osoh eye 70 nearly at right aug3cs
with the longitudinal line of the body,
so that it is impossible that the same
object can be distinctly seen with two
eyes. Now, by binding the eye in the
direction in which it was intended in its
construction that it should see, it is
forced to use an oblique vision, as if we
should cover the front of our optics and
be compelled to see only by the corners
of our eyes. This unnatural and con-
strained use of the eye must, to greater
or less extent, impair vision, if not en-
tirely destroy it. The object for which
the blind bride is used is not accom-
plished by it. A horse is more readily
frightened when he cannot see the object
of his dread than if he can have fair
view of it. But it is surprising to observe
with what tenacity men hold on to an
absurd and cruel practice when mo-
ment's reflection would teach them bet
ter. Nineteen out of every twenty
horses you see in harness have blind
brides on, and if you ask the owner to
explain its benefits, or why he uses it,
he will be utterly unable to give a
rational answer. We are not surprised
that draft horses are subject to diseased
eyes-we wonder that they are not all
blind.-Americdn Farmer.

Wealth in the Senate.

The present Senate contains at least a
score of Senators not one of whom is
worth less than S200,00U. The richest
man is, of course, Fair of Nevada, who
probably possesses as much as all the
other Senators together. Next to him
Isl David Davis, OF Illinois, a iwidowcr.
who is reputed to be the possessor of
millions. 1t is somewhat difficult to
name the Senator whose fortune ranks
third in size; but if Eugene Hale of
Maine has received the mantle of his
father-in-law, Zach Chandler, with its
well-lincd pockets, his fortune is nearly
as large as that of David Davis. The
wife OF Senator Hale is the only daugh-
ter of the late Senator Zach Chandler.
Other very wealthy Senators are Miller
of California, Malone of Virginia, and
Sawyer of Wisconsin, known to be worth
more than a million each. Sewell Of
New Jersey is a railroad man, and is
very wealthy. Senator John Sherman
of Ohio, it is said, is worth more than
81, 000, 900, his property consisting large
" of real estate in Washington. Among
other Senators who write their fortunes
with seven figures are Cameron of Penn
sylyania. Camden and Davis of West
Virginia, Brown of Georgia, and Plumb
of Kansas. Senator'S Hill of Colorado,
German of Maryland, Mcpherson Of
New Jersey, and Pcndleton Of Ohio are
all worth more than $500,000. Many
other Senators are comfortably fixed,
possessing little boards of from S50,00C
to $400, 900. Among those who have
but little comparatively here below
that is not more than 800, 900 apiece are
Morrill, of Vermont, Anthony Of Rhode
Island, Rollins of New Hampshire, Jones
of Nevada, Saunders of Nebraska, and
