Last Night on Earth.

The last night Of the prisoners life was not
marked by many features OF special interest.
During the first half of the night, or until
o'clock Friday morning, Guiteau was greatly
disturbed by the insane cries of a colored
crank who had been convicted of larceny, and
by mistake had been sentenced to the jail in
stead OF the asylum. Her demoniacal yels
rang through the jail, serving to keep Guiteau
awake nearly the entire night. He
was very restless and slept but
little Rev. Dr. Hicks, his spiritual
adviser, was with him from II o'clock to Md
night. At that time he reported that the pris-
oner had had no sleep, and that he was peov-
ish and fretful. At about o'clock in the
morning the crazy woman subsidized through
sheer exhaustion. Guiteau was then able to
sleep little. DR.. Hicks paid visit to the cell,
but found that the prisoner had fallen asleep,
and he was not disturbed Guiteau kept the
cell darkened 30 "a to keep the flies from BOTH
ering him. Shortly after he awoke and was
visited by Deputy Warden Ross and DIR.
McWilliams. They found that his short nap
had made him Differentiated and moro tract
able. He babe DIR. McWilliams good-Dy, and
thanked him for all his kindness, and after they
left he again dropped asleep, and did not awake
until about o'clock, when he began to get
hungry and called for his breakfast. He or
dered the various dishes Of which he is SO fond
I'm omelette, slices OF toast, beefsteak, fried
potatoes and coffee. He also gave directions
that his dinner should be ready for him
promptly at IL o'clock, evidently determined

After Eeed retired, DIR. Hicks remained some
time with the culprlt, but was unable to turn
his thoughts away from consideration OF his
immediate surroundings. When he retired
from the cell, Mrs. Scoville and her little
daughter and j 0hn w. Guiteau were admitted.
Their interview with the prisoner lasted fifteen
minutes, the Warden and deputy being pres
emit Guiteau was Mt first much excited, and
roundly abused the President and "those
wretches," AZ he termed those who had hound
ed him TO the scaffold. Sand you, too" he
cried out. pointing his finger at Gen. Croker
and the deputy, "you will both sent to hell"
In few minutes he Gained down. and said he

and little niece, he turned 10 his brother, and,
handing him dime, said: Here Is the 10
cents due the washerwoman. i guess you had
better settle that balance to-day"
There were number of "queer people" at the
White House on Thursday, to SEQ the President
in Guiteau's behalf. None were accorded an
interview. They were all referred to w. II.
Crook, one Of the Executive clerks, who re-
ceived them in an ante-room and heard their
requests. Three women and one man wanted
to have him persuade the President to see them,
but to no purpose. They came separately, but
were all on the same errand. TO ask that Guiteau
be resrited because Of his insanity. The man
was a FreDchman, and wanted Guiteau par
doned outright When Crook told one woman
Of the visitors that it was useless for her to
trouble herself further about the case, as the
President had decided not to interfere with the
execution Of the sentence, she was very much
overcome with grief, and burst into tears and
had TO be led out of the building. She sadly
bemoaned her unhappy lot, and said it was .
shame for the country to allow "poor Brother
Guiteau" to be hanged.
The culprits appetite WAS good, and he ate
three hearty meals a day up to the last day.
Thursday evening he partook OF a supper
of broiled steak, toast potatoes and
raspberries, after which he had his face shaved.

Begging the Question.

In the New York Maritime

following:
sour remarks, in a previous is

that extortionate charges exist.
Our remarks were based upon such
proofs. We have always defended
Portland and the Oregon river, but
we are careful of their interests
most when we point out the ex-
istence there of evil practices and
bad customs which can be re

one Of consequence. 1t makes little
difference now whether Mr.. Conkling

for either of them. But it is of
interest to know whether the present
