HELLTON COMET.
One of our most prminent and
etiiment astronomers was on the look
out for comet the ather night and sur
prised some of his friends by sudden
ly jumping from his observatory—the
lop of a freight box and rushing wild
ly into the telegraph office, to send
flying over the wires that be had dis
covered a new stranger in the heav
ens. He then walked quietly out to
sec ofterhis pet disca very—the. com
et—which he said'was slowly ap
proaching the earth at the rate of 10,-
000,000 miles a second. It was not
long, however, before the “comet”
have in sight, and it was corned by a
man walking down tne railroad with
a lantern. The crowd laughed, the
“euiment astronomers” got made,
and he just knosked a “skillet off
winds” out of that man with a bar of
railroad iron, covered him up with
old boxes crossties freight cars and
mounting on top of all their debris
thundered forth curses deep, long and
and loud, and sang out in stentouan
tones that: “No old lantern-jawed,
bowlegged suipe of u railroad man
can rob me of fame and glory by
waltzing around on a moonlight night
with a dad-swamped old lantern. 11l
let you know you cant comet over
me. That the kinds of a hairpin I
am.” Tis well enough to say that
the aforesaid E A. goes “star-ga
ging no more.
Labor lu the South.
Bradstreet’s weekly journal of la
testdate has letters from various
points in the South relative to the la
bor supply. The editor of Brad
street’s summing uy the information
detailed in these reports, says the re
turns show that hands are plentiful
in Virginia and Tennessee. Ala
bama reports labor snarce at seven
points, barely enough at three, and
sufficient at forty-six points. Scarci
ty of supplies are noted. Arkansas
reports plenty of hands in fourty-four
places, dependant on weather in
thirteen, and scarcity in thirteen.
Johnson county, Arkansas, aeports
that immigration is rapidly tilling up
that portion of the State. Sebastian
county, Arkansas, reports labor ssarcc
owing to the vast amount of building
at Fort Smith, and that farmers are
paying *1 25 a day for hoeing. Flor
ida reports labor scarce in nearly ev
ery place in the State. Georgia re
ports labor barely sufficient or scarce
in thirth places, due mainly to the
wet weather, and plenty in eighty.
Bradstreet’s Havana correspondent
writes that “labor so far has been effi
cient, hut the projected railroads have
been offering high prices for laborers
which may result in matersal retard
ing the working of srops at the close
of the season.” Ermn several counties
in Georgia there is a complaint that
the laborers do not work well, and
aecomplsh but half what they ought.
Louisiana reports labor scarce at elev
en pointo, dependent on the weather
at seven, and pleutp at twenty-four
Bnddo and Natchitoches parishes La.,
reports a scarcity of hands, owing to
the railroads it course of construction
Mississippi reports labor scarce in ten
places, barely enough in twelve, and
sufficient in forty-nine. Some of the
upland counties of Mississidpi report
that, owing to the introduction of fer
tiliizers and improved planting and
other implements, the cultivation of
crops is being done with less labor
than formerly. Other counties report
provision supplies short. North Car
olina reports labor scarce in seven
places, and barely enough in six. Wet
weather has affected planting, and
gold discovery in Cabarras county has
attracted many laborers there. South
Carolina reports labor insufficient at
nine points, barely enough at eight,
and plentiful at forty-three. One re
turn says that where white labor is
employed, or white and colored bauds
work together, crops are better culti
vated. than by black labor ulone.
Edgefield county, S. C., reports an
unprecedented scarcity of provisions
and provender, which has affected
planting by drawing off labor. Texas
reports labor insiktßcieut at sixtv-one
points, sufficient at twenty-two. boubt -

DOOMED TO DIE
THE PRESIDENT SHOT
HIS LIFE-BLOOD IS SOUGHT
TO APPEASE
THE VENGEANCE OF A LUNATIC
BTALWALT.
P ÜBLIC DEMONSTR A TIONB OF
SORROW AND UNIVERSAL
HORROR AT THE AW
FUL CRIME)
Mingling Hopes aud Fear* of Hi*
Recovery !
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
ASSASSIN AND HIS DAS
TARDLY DEED.
Special dispatch to the Constitution.
Washington, July 2.—President
Garfield was shot this morning at the
Baltimore and Potomac depot while
on his way to New England. He re
ceived one ball in the arm and one
between the hip and kidneys. Five
physicians are inatlendance.and have
probed for the ball without success.
He is dangerously awonded, but may
recover.
THE VICTIM AND THE ASSASSIN.
ll:3oa. m.—The president'scodition
has improved, and his pulse, was as
low as 53, raised to 63. As seon as it
reaches 70 the physicians will probe
for the ball, ami will then be able to
tell the. nature of the wound.
The man who did the shooting is
Charles Guitteau, attorney at law,
Chicago. He is a foreigner bv birth
and has been a very presistent appli
cant forsonsul, which was refuse him
by the president. He has haunted
the executive mansion fortwoer three
weeks, and bis not getting what he
wanted, it is believed, result in tem
porary aberration of the mind.
IN A CRITICAL CONDITION.
New York,July 2,11:30 a. m.— The
best information we can obtain in that
the president is lying i.i a critical con
dition. One of the balls is supposed
to have entered his bowels.
HOW THE DEAD WAS At'COMHLISH
KD.
Washington, July 2.—The shoot
ing was done by a slender mnn.aooiit
five feet seven inches in height. He
refused to give his name, but it is said
by persons who profess to know him
that his name ts Guitteau, and that
he is an ex-consul to Marseilles.
The man was assented immediately
and carried to police headquarters,
ami subsequently removed to jail.
The shooting occurred in the ladies’
room of the depot, immediately after
the prelident had entered, walking
arm m arm with Seeetnay Blaine, on
their way to the limited express train
which was about ready to leave. Sec
etary Blaine, on hearing the pistol
shot (t wo in numbes), niched in the
direction from which thev came, with
a view to arresting the assassin. Be
fore reaching the man, however, he
noticed the president fail, and return
ed to him and lifted him up. Both
shots took offect: the first in the right
arm and the second just above the
right hip ansnear the kidneys. Pliys
ienns have probed for the ball unsuc
cessfully Two companies of regu
lars were, ordered from the barracks
and have been posted around the ex
ecutive mansian. There is great ex
citement aud the streets are tkronged
with anxious inquirers, eager to learn
the condition of the president. The
shooting occurred in tlie presence of
fifty or sixty ladies. The president
has been made as comfortable as pos
sible, and all persons excluded from
the grounds. He is concious, ami
doeg not complain of great suffering.
It is impossible to say, as yet. what
the result will be, but the surgeons
are of opinion that the wouudsare not
neecessarily fatal.
THE ASSASSIN INTERVIEWED.
Stringent ordered have been given
against allowing any one to see the
prisoner, but the correspondent of the .
News was enable this afternoon to
seetise a short talk with Guiteau. j
When the reporter reaches his cell
the prisoner arose from his col, and
peering through the bars of the door
anxiously inquires "How is the Presi- i
dent'*’” Being told that he was suffer
ing gseat prin Guiteau replied : “1 am
very sorry to hear it. 1 wish 1 had
put another ball into him, for that
would have ended his suffeeing.”
Reporter—“W bat wits your motive
for Ibis act ?”
Guiteuu—“l had been contempla
ting this thing for six weeks, and what
I did I was forced to do by an inspua
tion from God. 1 did it for politicial
purpose aud though patriotic motives.
1 went to tlie depot to do the deed
two weeks ago. when the President
went to l»ong Branch, but be came
arm-in-arm with Mrs. Garfield, who
looked so delicate that 1 had not the •
heart to do it.”
Reporter—“ Was any one connec
ted with you in this affair?”
Guiteau—“No sir ; I conceived it
myself. I alone am responsible for
it. No soul ou earth knew of it but
myself. I considered it a polsticial
necessity to retire Garfield, and thus
savo the republican party. I had
no murder in my heart, for I had
nothing against the President person
ally. I helped to elect him.”
Reporter—“ Had you no fears of the
consequence of your act? No soars of
afuture punishment?”
Guiteau—“Not at all. IF hat I did
was for the Republican party and the
public. I have no fears but that I
wiii be liberated. lam a stalwart of;
yhe stalwarts. I know Vice President
Aatiiur aud General Graut very
well.”
Replying to a question as to his
sanity, Guitean said: “I had two
cousins who were incarcreated in an
insane asylum once. My only other
relatives are a sister in Chicago and a
brother in Boston.”
Reporter—“ Did you think vour act
would makes martyr of you?”
Guiteau—“l had no such thoght. I
knew that it was nesessary for some
ono to retire Garfield, and I made up
my mind to do it and leave the result
to the country and the party I am
truly sorry that my act has cused the
President so much pain, bnt i knew of
no easier way to rid the republican
party of him than by the bullet. My
only motive was to have a stalwart
President.”
In reply to a question as to how lie
had rested, Guiteau said : “This is the
first rest I have had six weeks. This
thing lias been on my mind and I
could not sleep. Now that is over
my only wish is that the Pcrsident
moy not recover and make my act
fruitless. My mind would he perfect
ly at rest if he died, aud 1 do not fear
aey consequence.”
