The Nnd.honse for Roth.

Roth, the crank who shot at Rev. DR.. John
Hall, the eminent Presbyterian minister of
New York City, several weeks ago, was adj
judged insane in. Judge Marines Court, in
that city, on Christmas day. Roth told a story
Of privation and hardship which is hard to be-
lieve could exist in this country. His illusion
is that he has been for years bounded by
"agents" Of all the modern criminals, the
ministers Of the gospel, the police, the public
prOsccutors-ali Of them were in league against
him" So at least he said during the trial.
He was asked il the "agents" were still hound
ing him, to which he replied that they were
aud that he could hear their voices all the time
no was testifyiug, and il the Judge would only
listen he could hear them too. He said. and as
he had told the truth regarding everything he
testified TO, he was believed by the court that
he did not try 10 shoot DIR. Hall; that he only
fired 40 him 20 attract attention to his case and
thus have the law intervene between him and
his persccutOrs-the agents" He was found
not guilty, but the court ordered him confined
in the State Lunatic Asylum at Auburn where
Il is likely he will spend the rest Of his days,

great difficulty in furnishing high-priced
gems arises from the fact that their value
depends as much upon their perfection i'm
cut and color as upon their weight For
example, diamond weighing q carat may
be bought for $40, while others Of the same
weight, but better color, will cost from 500
to 900.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE can get any
kind of stones. For the exclusive benefit or
subscribers it offers four examples of soli-
taire diamond earrings. which may be either
drops or screws, according 10 the desire OF
the purchaser.
