THE TOCCOA NEWS. KI>W* SCHAEFER, Editor & riop’tor 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. - >m 9 m ---- When you are coming up the cellar stairs with a bucket of coal in one hand, two pies and a plate of butter in the other, and a loaf of bread under each arm, it is exceed¬ ingly trying to your Christian forti¬ tude to have a woman yell down and caution you not to forget the pre¬ serves on the swinging shelf in the corner of the cellar, nest to the cur- rant jelly.

Simpson, drawing the little girl closer to him,’ ‘I will never deceive you, never do aught that would give you sorrow or pain.

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.

A correspondent writes us to know- which in our judgment is the safest seat in case of a railroad collision, as he wishes to settle a controversy with some friends. From a long and painful study in this matter, and calling to our aid a ripe experience, we could say without fear of success¬ ful denial that the safest seat in case of a railroad collision is the top rail of a reliable fence about four miles in a northeasterly direction from the collision —Laramie Boomerang.
