has been widely discussed, being viewed
by many as bold effort to master first
class social position In this effort he
has previously met severe opposition and
some disappointment. The feeling"
between the cold noblcsse" OF the Fifth
avenue and the opulent parvenues is not
yet removed, and Williams millions have
not as yet opened his way to the pene-

succeed, but thus far his efforts, splendid

DEPRAVITY VS.. INSANITY.
A Passage from Judge COx's Charge ia
tlae Jury.

Judge Cox's charge to the jury can be quoted
with pertinency to the recent attempt to reopen
the question OF Guiteaus mental condition. After
a long review OF the case from legal standpoint,
Judge Cox admOnished the jury that the only
safe rule for them to direct their reflections to
the one question. which was the test OF criminal
responsibility, viz: Whether, whatever may have
been the prisoners singularites and eccentrcIties
he possessed the mental capacity at the time
the act was committed to know that 1t was wrong,
or was deprived OF that capacity by mental
disease. SIN all this NATTER" said the Judge.
"there is one important distinction that you
must not lose sight of, and you are to decide how
far 1t is applicable to this case 1t is the distnc-
ton between mental and moral obliguity; between
mental incapacity to understand the distinctions
between right and wrong, and moral indifference
and insensibility TO those distinctions The latter
results from b1unted conscience; q torpid moral
sense, or depravity OF heart; and sometimes we
are not inapt to mistake 1T for evidence or some.
thing wrong in the mental constitution. We have
probably all known men OF more than the average
OF mental endowmentS, whose whole lives have
apparent absence OF the moral sense. We have
known others who have first yielded to tempta-
ton with pangS OF remOrSe, but each transgressiOn
became easier, until dishonesty became con-
nrmed habit, and at length all SensitiveneSs OF
conscience disappeared. When we see men of
seeming Intelligence, and of better antecedents.
reduced to this condition, we are prone to wonder
not thrown out OF gear. But Indifference to what
is right is not ignorance OF It, and depravty is not
insanity, and we must be careful not to mistake
moral perverSion for mental disease"

ATE MPTS ON GUITEAU,S LIFE.
How the GallOws Came Near BEING
Cheated.
THE scUFFLE WITH MC'GILL, THE GUARD-wHA
GUITKAU THOUGHT ABOUT HIS ESCAPES.

Ever since Guiteau was confined, 1t has been
generally understood that his life has been In
jeopardy at the hanes Of some one who might give
some practical effect to the public Indignation
against the assassin. Almost as soon as he was
confined In Jail, q military guard was sent there
to protect the assassin from violence. The assas-
sin himself foreseeing his danger wrote letter to
Gen. Sherman before committing the crime, ask.
ing him to send soldiers to guard the Jail Ever
since the I'd OF July therefore, there has been q
guard Of soldiers at the jail Extraordinary pre-.
cautions were also taken BY the police and the
marshal's deputies, when the prisoner was taken
from the van to the court house. Notwithstand-
Ing these precautions TWO assaults were made
upon 0uiteau's life.
GuITEAU's PRovrDHNTIAL IscAPIA
0uiteau enumerated the assaults upon him g
three, for he says In his book:
Il hereby record that adore the Almighty
Father and the saviour for the kind providence
that has been with me all my life, and especially
since have been In Jail Thrice have been shot
at and missed since July The most providential
escape from death was BY NasOnss bullet Ie
