s,yED FROM A GUITEAU.
The Story of an Attempt to Assassinate
ir President Harrison.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 15.-The story
fan attempt to assassinate Presi-
dent Harrison last May by crank
ofthe Guiteau style, has just been
made public. The would-be assas-
Gin was a Southern man who
claimed to be a prosecuted Repub-
Ecan. but his name will not be
revealed. The story leading up to
the crank's futile attempt to kill
the Chef Magistrate had begin
ming in March last, when Senator
Hoar, Of Massachusetts,, received a
letter which demanded in violent
terms that he push to the bitter
end his resolution to investigate
the Southern courts. The letter
was full of vile accusations against
prominent Virginia Democrats and
Republicans alike. 1t was dated
at Petersburg, and signed "Old
Republican Soldier" The writer
said he had served during the war
in a Massachusetts, regiment and
was mustered out as captain of his
company. 1t contained SO many
vile insinuations against the pri-
yate lives of several of Senator
Hoar's colleagues that the Senator
hesitated to read it through. Near
the close the writer declared that
unless some remedy for the abuse
which was being heaped upon him
was devised by Congre IS he would
90 TO Washington and kill Presi-
dent Harrison.
Garfield had his Guiteau," read
the letter, "and Harrison may
have--well the writer as his
assassin. I give him but until the
Goth Of May to live"
About two weeks later Senator
Hoar received another letter from
the same person of about the same
tenor as the first; but with direct
threat to kill the President on OF
Immediately after May 20. The
Senator then placed both letters in
the hands of Capt. John S. Bell
who was then Chief of the Secret
Service, and who Immediately put
a couple of his best men to work tt
p run down the writer.
Senator John Sherman wal
startled few weeks after this by
receiving a violent letter threaten
ing the Presidents life, and, as il
the two missives received pre-
viously by Senator Hoar, the dat
of the proposed assassination wa
fixed about May 20. This lette
was also turned over to Chief Bell
and it proved to be the means G

5M feet. 1 chose this width because l
could cut up 16-foot lumber without
waste. 1t is 1858 feet long, and two of
these boards will reach across one side
and end. 1t is built in five sections and
takes II posts. Six of these are s feet
long for tho outside and the others 9
feet long for the inside. The inner
face of the rack stands 92S feet from the
front line of the hovel. This is good
width for driving through when carting

cover both the rack and the space be-
tween it and the howell and allow six
inch caves.
Tho southeast end is left open for the
admission of sunshine and the cattle.
The northwest end is closed with two
doors as shown in Fig. 8. One door is
made smaller than the other for con-
venience in passing through. The rack
is built with an open space on each side
and can have drop doors to close during
stormy weather if desired. The ar
rangement of this rack is shown in the
last engraving. Hemlock scantling 2x6
inches (a) is nailed across each section
with the top side IS inches from the
ground. On top of these are nailed 2x3
hemlock scantlings with the inner sides
of each feet from the outside of the
rack at b and nailed to the uprights at C.

serving these measurements, 1S-foot
spruce Turing strips will make just
three strips for the rack. The shallow
bin at the bottom saves the short hay,
which the cattle may pull out and also
makes a receptacle Tor feeding oat chat
or any fine fodder. This rack can be
divided into partitions for hay and straw
if variety of food is wished for. 1t is
very convenient when all hands are in
the woods or elsewhere for the day, as
the cattle can be fed in the morning
and plenty of room is given the weaker
so they can get enough to eat.-Jacot

HOW TO MAKE CANDIES.

a Foundation of Boiled Sirup Well Worked
the Prime Essential
Unless a person is willing to make
candy by the best French methods it is
not worth while to attempt the task.
The candies made up at home by whip
ping confetti ner's sugar into the white
of an egg and adding walnuts or other
nuts or fruits are not worth making in
any quantity, because they are cloying
in flavor like all compounds of uncooled
sugar. The only delicious and proper
method of making candies is with a
foundation of boiled sirup worked to a
proper consistency with the hands. This
is made Of one pound of granulated
sugar and half a pint of water, cold or
hot Put the sugar and water in a
marbleized saucepan and set it at the
back of the stove. When it is melted
to a liquid bring it forward to the front,
whore it is not too hot, however, and let
the sirup boil rapidly for ten minutes
DO not stir it or it will grain" At the
end of ten minutes try it by dropping a
drop into bowl of ice-water. As it
falls to the bottom take it up and roll it
between your finger and thumb rapidly
1t should make a soft ball, not at all
sticky If it does not. boil it longer,
and try it again. If it is ready take the
sirup up at once and set it in a pan Of
ice-water to cool. When it is cool
enough to work with the hand, or bear
the finger stir it with spoon. 1t will
soon be white paste. Work it now with
the hands. When it is we'll worked set 1t
away if you are not ready to make candy
at once as it will keep any length of
time. When you wish to make candies
melt some of this foundation by setting
the bowl containing it in hot water.
Flavor it with few drops of vanilla.
Color it yellow by adding half tea
spoonful of orange juice squeezed
through little thin bag containing the
grated peel of Mediterranean orange.
There is not enough coloring matter in
the Florida or Jamaica fruit. A little
pink sugar added to the foundation be-
fore it is cooked will give beautiful
pink, or few drops of cochinical color

tity or it will become too thin for use.
One of the incest plain candies is made
by adding chopped English wslnuts to
the melted foundation when it is cold
enough to touch. Mix the walnuts
through pink and through white foun-
dation with vanilla and roll out little
candies of uniform size from both colors.
These bonbons look better when made
into exact like cubes in mold. We
would like to have his rule tried and
report given of its success. The art of
sugar boiling can not be learned, it
should be remem bored, in a day. If the
foundation has been boiled too long it
will be brittle; water must be added and
must be boiled up again. A pinch of
cream-tartar added to pound of sugar
tends to prevent the foundation from
becoming sugary or granting" When
