GITTEAIJ’S TRIAL.
Tire scenes occurihg daily in con
nection with the trial of Gitteuu are
well calculated to inspire the atten
tive reader with supreme disgust. In
the history of criminal investigations
it is without a parallel. The solemni
ty that usually marks such proceed
ings has given place to jesting and
laughture, and the temple of justice
has been converted into a show-house,
where men and women congregate, to
enjoy mirth. The trial is a disgrace
to the American people and to the
memory of the noble man whose
murder it is sought to avenge.
One could almost wish that the bul
let of Jones had been better aimed
and the whole thing cut short by the
death of the unrepentant murderer.—
We arc no advocate of mob law; but
we seriously doubt whether the hang
ing of this blood-stained scoundrel
would not have been less disgraceful
than the examination now in pro
gress.
One thing is certain,Guittcau is not
insane. He is thoroughly responsi
ble, and ought to be executed. In
any case he is doomed. Should the
jury be cheated into the belief that he
is crazy, it will be impossible for him
to escape. He cannot live in this
country, unless it be inside of walls
that can not be broken, and with a
guard that would render approach
impossible. _
BOOTH NOT DEAD.
It will bo remembered that, a short
time after the assassination of presi
dent Lincoln, a story was circulated
to the effect that Booth, who was sup
posed to have been killed by the par
ty who pursued him, had escaped.—
Such was the proof of the identity ol
the person killed, however, that peo
ple soon came to believe that it was
certain that Booth was dead. Not
long ago, while travelling on the rail
road, we fell iu with a gentleman
from another State who stated posi
tively that that Booth was not killed.
He said he knew him well, and knew
exactly where he was, and how em
ployed. Just at this point we reach
ed the station where we were to leave
the cars, and failed to get the name of
our informant. He was a gentleman
of intelligence and his manner im
pressed us with the truthfulness of
his statements. He did not know that
we tilled to position of an editor.

BOOKS AND PERIODICALS.
commentary~on mark,
BY W. N. CLARKE, D. D.
We have received from the Ameri
can Baptist Publication Society, Phil
adelphia, a copy of the above work.
The writer has succeeded admirably
in giving “ the plain, straightforward,
practical exposition of reverent com
mon senoe, without "fancies or exe
getical reffueme.nl.” The book will
be of incalculable, benefit to the Sun
day school teacher, and is just the
thing for ministers who have’ neither
time nor ability to study the more
lengthy and iliffieult disquisitions,
which often puzzle the mind rather
than help the study of the Bible in
such cases. The whole of next year’s
study iu the bunday schools will be in
the gospel according to Mark, and this
commentary is just what you want.
The price is' $1.50.
The Baptist Question Book on
the International Bible Lessons,
Bv Rev. James W. Willmarth.
This little book gives lessons for
the whole year. 1882, and for this rea
son is superior to any lesson papers.
It ought to be in the hand of every
bunday school scholar. When this
cannot be done, the teachers, at least
should be supplied, bend 15cts to the
American Baptist Publication Society
and get a copy.
We have received, in advance, a
specimen copy of a new Magazine,
published by the American Baptist
Publication Society, entitled “ The
Home Circle,” for January, 1882. i
The magazine is of the highest order
of its kind, both as to its literary char
acter and typographical execution.
Subscription $1.50. 15cts single copy.

A REMARKABLE DREAM AND
Coincident Circumstances.
In February last two little daugh
ters of Mr. Rubin Chambers’, of this
county, were very sick, and the young
est, called Disey, about four years
old, died on Sunday, the 26th of Feb
ruary. On Thursday before she died,
she being very restless, her mother
carried her out of the house, when
she said to her Dr. C. says Savilla and
I have liver., complaint and are both
going to die. Her mother replied:
No, you will get well, and I wiil car
ry yon any where you want to go, and
brought her in the house again, and
laid her on the bed beside her sister ,
Savilla, who was sick also. After
which, Savilla says: she turned her
face to me and aked if I would do any
thing she wished me to, and I answer
ed ves; what is it? She said she would
tell me in few days; though, notwitl.
standing she repeated the queition on
Saturday, she never told wbat she
wished me to do. About two o’clock
that night she began to grow worse.
About ten o’clock next morning I i
went to sleep and dreamed that she i
came to n>e and asked me i: I was
ready to go with her. I told ker yes.;
and then it seemed that we Stepped
out into a piazza going on to a door,
where a man met us and took us by
the. hand, and said. Go with lie, you
are as good as any body; and Ihcn’led
us through a dark Rous* jtrst and
through a light one afterwasda, to
another door, where watt standing the
uglesl man I ever saw, who asked me
if we were going to stop. The. man
who was leading us told him no they
are going with me. Through this
house, was a path that went from one.
door to the other and on either side of
the path stood a great many people
but no little children among them,
and under their feet lire was flashing
like lightning over the floor. From
this we went on through a dark house
to another door which the nan who
was leading us opened, and we passed
into a tine large house, in which were
the most fine people I ever saw, who
shook hands with us when w< went in.
Among them was grandtm Cham
bers. She looked as natural as when
alive and v i glad to see m. Disey
talked with her. The man who was
with us sa down, and Diseysat down
by him, in something not like our
chairs, which seemed to b« glass all
of them alike, but of diffetrnt sizes
and not the half of them occupied.
Though this place was as light as dav
there was no tire and I saw nothing
to eat or drink, and the people seem”
eu not to want anything, the man
who led us asked Disey how mnuv
folks she had and she told sh« had two
brothers and one little sister and pa
and ma and I think they will all come
here, he then got up and went with
me to the door, and then talked with
me a little and told me I Men what
kind ol a place I had passed through,
and that I could come back if I would,
but it 1 did not mind 1 would stop in
the first light house which I passed
through; but if I would do right he
would meet we there at Gat door
when I come back and toxl me to
bring all that would come. When I
was ready to start Disey told me
back and tell tua and all toe rest what
a good place I have got ,<>, and tell
them to come to see me. And don't
you stay but a few days—ju-t long
enough to tell them! j Use, then my
mother waked me and told me Disey
was dead. It is rcmirkabe Hail as
the little child's spirit Icl'itlie world
and doubtless entered the portals of
lieaven the spirit of het surviving
sister in a dream or trance was with
her, aid saw her so auspiciously situ

satisfied that her s'.s.er a as in Heaven;
tor notwithstanding they were ven
much attached to each >ther she nev
er greaved that her sister was taken
from her and though oulv fourteen
years old she tried to console her be
reavotl parents—telling thuu that Ipt
sister was better off and a better
place and also seemed confident that
she would soon join her sister in
Heaven; and just one npmth before
she died site told her parents she
would only a month longer. Though
we sec as she relates that her sister
sat down and talked in In rm w home,
yet site did neither, site sa’s,nltliough

A NEGROE’S APOLOGY.
Not many year: ago. it the village
of Eatonton, Georgia, a mat. mam
his appearance am! stopped at the
tavern. He was possessed of :• most
remarkable nose, cue which almost
monopolized his whole fare—
Roman, cuonuous; it .vns such a
nose as is only seen on.iu a l.t< -
liiue. So great a show w -s it ;h.t
it attracted universal attemiou. The
glances cast at it and lire remarks
mam about it, had rendered its own
er sem what sensitive upon the sub
ject. A half grown negro boy was
summoned by the proprietor to carry
his baggage to his room. Cufl've was
much taken with his nose. As he
came out of the room unable to con
tain himself longer he exclaimed—
‘Golly, what a nose !'■
Our traveler overheard him and
' went to his master with a Arnaud
I tor his punishment.
i Cufl'ee was called up, ami at kite
| suggestion of some bvsta. tiers, ie,
off' ou condition that he would opt.j.u
gize to the offended genllem.it:. Th:-
he readily agreed to do. \\ aikiug t.>
the room where tlu .raveler < :
touching Lis hat huuibiy .>u_,
he said—
“ Mn.s'u, you ain't yotuo ituee al all. ’
If you wish to buy a fine ornat ,
right from the factory, f-r $22 less
than the regular price, the Editin’ of
this paper can tell you how to do it.
THE ORPHAN GIRL.
No home ! no home.' said a little girl,
As stopped at a princely hall,
And trembling stood on the polished
steps,
And leaned on the ntaybled wall.
My father, alas! I never knew,
And the tears dim’d her eyes so bright,
My mother sleeps in a new made grave :
'Tie an orphan that begs to-night.
Her clothes were thin, hfr feet were bare,
And the snow had covered her head;
' Give me a home, she softly said
A home and a bit of bread.
The night was cold and the snow fell fast,
But the rich man shut his door—
His proud lips curled with scorn as be
said :
. No home, no bread for the poor.
I must die, she said, as she sank on the
steps, ,
And strove to wrap her feet
lu her tattered dress all covered with
snow—
Yes, all covered with snow and sleet.
, The rich man slept on a velvet coach;
And dreamed of his silver andgoid;
The orphan lay in her bed of snow,
And murmured : So cold, so cold !
. The hours passed on, and the midnight
chime
| Rang out like a funeral knell—
The earth seemed wrap'd in a winding
sheet.
And the drifting snow still fell.
The morning came, and the little girl
Still lay at the rich man's door;
But her soul had tied to a home above,
Where there’s room and bread for the
poor!
THE FOUR FIENDS.
Four fiends met in the lowest
world and resolved tlial the people of
the earth were too happy, and they
scut forth their four influences to the
earth, ambitious of mischief. One
was the fiend of the vineyard. He
eanic one morning into a grape field,
and sat down on the root of a twisted
vine in sheer discouragement. The
grapes were ripe and luscious, and
there seemed life and health in every
bunch. While the fiend sat there he
clutched a cluster and squeezed it—
Lo! his hand was red. It was the
blood of the vineyard, emblematic of
•he blood of broken hearts. And he
squeezed all the grapes of the vine
yard and fermented the juice, and
the people came and drank and drank
and when the (Tend went out of the
vineyard he stepped over carcass af
ter carcass of dead men.
And the second fiend went to the
grain field. And the people came
and dipped up the fiery liquid that he
made, and drank, and blasphemed,
and staggered and fought, and rob
heil, .and murdered. And this nrcli
fiend was so much pleased with his
work that he changed his place of
abode to a whiskey barrel.
The third fiend went into the pas
ture and saw the lull udder, aed ns
he milked lie thought of something
that would lure people to destruction.
He made milk puneii. The children
duank it. And the fiend of the diary
leaped u[ on the shelves and danced
and 'lanced until the long, bright
rows of slutting utilk pails clattered.
“The fourth fiend entered the grog
shop and found few customers. But
he swooped and gathered up niusival
instruments. Tin: trombones played,
liw cymbals clashed, the drums best,
he bugals called, and the people
crowded and joined iu th" dance,
each oue with a glass in his LatiJ.
The glasses crack d, the il >or br<’ke.
and the crowd dropped into heli ;
‘ These four fiend then went back
down to hell’s high catt.i'al !■< ■■.au.-e

NEWSPAPER LAWS.
We call the especial attention of our
postmasters and subscribers to thia
paper to the following synopsis of
the Newspaper Laws:
1. The postmaster is required to
;ive imlice be letter (returning a pa
per does not answer tlie law) wiien a
subscriber does r.ot take his paper out
1' the oil . ; ai.tl slate the reason for
,:ot being taken. Any neglect to do
so, makes the postmaster rcsponsi
ide to the publisher for the payment.
2. Any person who takes a paper
from the postoffiee, whether directed
to his name or anol her,or whether lie
has subscribed rot,:« responsible for
the pay.
3. If any person has ordered hi*
paper discontinued he must pay ar
rears or the publisher may continue
to send it until payment is made, and
collect the whole amount, whether it
he taken from the office or not. There
can be ao legal discontinuance till the
payment is made.
4. if the subscriber orders his paper
stopped at a certain time, and the
publisher continues to send it, the
-itbsct iber is bound to pay for it, if lie
lakes it out of tlie postoffice. The
law proceeds upon the ground that a
man must pav for what he uses.
5. The courts have decided that re
fusing to take a newspaper or a
"diva l from the pos.toftice, or remov
ing and leaving them uncalled for, is
prima facia evidence of intentional
fra' i<l.
