A TALK WITH THE ASSASSIN.
now HE SPENT SUNDAY IN HIS CELL—
ni: wishes it understood tiiat
HE IS NOT AT ALL ANXIOUS - TRUST¬
ING IN THE COURT IN BANC.
Washington, February 6,— Guil¬
eau’s only visitors yesterday were his
brother and a correspondent, the
heavy snow that had fallen during
the past wenty-four hours having
deterred even curiosity hunters from
venturing to take the long trip across
the commons leading to the jail. The
prisoner was found perfectly com
posed, lie said that he had enjoyed
a refreshing sleep, besides eating two
meals and was hungry for the third.
Ill’s food is prepared for him by a cook
detailed for the purpose, who carries
it into his cell, thus preventing any
third party’s interference. Warden
Crocker announces his intention
keeping the strictest watch and guard
over the prisoner to prevent any
attempts at suicide, although this
is scoffed at by the guards at the
jail.
G uitcau was one of the first pris-
oners up this morning and busied
himself in tidying up bi3 cell, which
is the same one he has occupied since
he was shot at by Sergeant Mason.
When he arose from his cot to receive
his visitors, no one who was not
aware of his condition would lor one
instant have thought him a man under
sentence of death, for his manner
was gay and careless and he smiled
broadly as a reference was made by
his brother to his not having dressed
himself, as has been his custom for
several Sundays, in his best attire
and white shirt.
‘I don’t suppose it makes much
difference how I look now,’ was his
reply; T have weightier matters to
think of than dress.’
After he was told of Mr. Scoyille’s
queSConed perplexed
for a moment and his
brother very closely as to what was
sought to be accomplished by such a
move. When John Guiteau said
that pressing business and personal
affairs required the trip, the prisoner
angrily exclaimed :
T don’t think he ought to allow any
business whatever to interfere with
my case and he had better devote his
time exclusively to me till after the
hearing before the Court in bailed In
eating his meals Guiteau is not
allowed to have a knife or fork. The
assassin is now confined in the small
cell to which he was removed shortly
after he was fired at bj’ Sergeant
Mason, but owing to the manner in
which this cell was bricked up to
render it bullet-proof, the ventilation
has been cut off to such an extent as
to render it unadvisable that the
prisoner should longer occupy it.
General Crocker will take this subject
iuto consideration to-day, and make
some suitable arrangements in the
premises. He says that Guiteau will
either occupy this cell or the one
immediately adjoining it, as this
location is the most convenient for
keeping the prisoner under a complete
and constant espionage. He will
not be allowed to receive anything
whatever from the outside, except
such portions of his mail as it may be
deemed proper to give him. In this
connection Gen. Crocker says that
live letters were received in Guiteairs
mail on Saturday, containing what
was supposed to be small pox virus,
and he has notified the postmaster
that he will not hereafter receive any
for the assassin unless some method
for their fumigation or disinfection is
adopted, as he does not feel justified
in exposing his subordinates to the
danger of infection.

HE SWORE HE WOULD NEVER
LEAVE HER, AND HE DIDN'T-
__
‘Surely, you will not be false to
me, George?’ and the bright blue eyes
of Elaine Jen/dns looked fondly up
into the face of the man, who bends
over her so fondly, and whose words
of love come to her troubled breast
with the same sweet, soothing rest-
fulness that a tired man feels when
the throbs of his aching head are
stilled and the demons of pain driven
away by the touch of a wife s hand
and the sound of her low, sweet voice.
‘No, my little one,’ replied George
W. Simpson, drawing the little girl
closer to him,’ ‘I will never deceive
you, never do aught that would give
you sorrow or pain. You have made
a better man of me- dragged me, as
it were, from the horrid maelstrom of

wiftly being drawn, and landed nu*
in the beautiful Lotos Islands of your
love—the pure, trusting, passionate
love of a heart that beats alone for
me. Never fear, my darling, that 1
will leave you—and pressing a /ass
upon the ripe, red lips, that could
make a cake jar look desolate, he went
out into the starlit night, and started
down the street car track, where there
was no danger of being interrupted
by vehicles,

THE RAZOR-BACK EGG.
To the traveler through Texas one
of the strangest and most peculiui
features of the landscape is the razor-
back hog. He is of the Swiss cottage
style of architecture. Ills physical
outline is angular to a degree un¬
known outside of a text book on the
science of geometry. His ears - or
the few rags and tatters of them tka‘
the dogs have left, are curled back
with a knowing vagabond’s air. His
tail has no curl in it - but it hangs
aft. limp as a wet dish-rag hung out
of of a back window to dry. The
highest peak of his corrugated back
is six inches above the level of the
root of his tail. He does not waU*
with the slow and stately step of the
patrician Berkshire, but usually goes
in a lively trot- He leaves the im¬
pression that he was late starting m
the morning and is making up for lost
time, or that lie is in doubt about
the payment of that check, and is
hurrying to get it cashed before the
bank closes.
The country razor back prowls
around in the woods and lives on
acorns, pecan nuts and roots ; when
he can spare time he climbs under
his owner s fence and assists in
harvesting the corn crop. In this
respect he is neighborly to a fault,
and when his duty to his owner’s
crop will allow, he will readily turn
iu and assist the neighbors, even
working at night rather than see the
crop spoil for want of attention.
He does not know the luxury of a
sty. He never gets fat, and from the
day of his birth, sometimes two years
roll into eternity before he is big
enough to kill - Crossing the razor-
back with blue-blooded stock makes
but little improvement. The only
effective way to improve him is to
cross him with a railroad train. He
then becomes an imported Berkshire
or Poland China hog, and if he does
not knock the train off the track the
railroad company pays for him at
about the rate of one dollar per
pound, for which they are allowed the
mournful privilege of shoveling the
remains off the track.
