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. The Southern Farmer’s Monthly for December is as fresh and beautiful as ever. Every farmer should have it. mot enough of it. An Irishman heard of the comfort of a feather bed, and almost decided to getjjne. Before buying, however, he concluded to try it. Bo he procur ed a single *quill agd.lay on the bare floor with the qtffll under his head.— He arose next morning with a poor opinion of a feather bed. Some peo ple are just so hbout advertising— They don’t “ try” enough of it to get the good, andconclude “ it wont pay.” THE UNIVERSITY REPORTER.

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 ated ; and her actions ant) words de mobstt:.;i:d that she was perfectly 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 she was talked to. She <ls<> slater that she w itnessed a great deal she could not express, bhe ? ei.t to her sister ou the 26th of A|tril, i > stay with her in clime which her father says he believes she was permitted io visit when Iter sister wen to stay. 1. V. T. 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 their work had beeirdoue.

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.
