THB GUITBAU TRIAL.
Washing ton, December 29.—When
the court opened this morning some delay
In the proceedings ensued, aud Gulteau
made his usual mornicg speech. He
complained that the usual guard of po
licemen had been withdrawn from the
prison van, and that.there is mere danger
of Ids being shot while riding to and from
the jail than at any other lima. He re
quested the judge to ordertheusual guard
of policemen to accompany the van; that
ft would only take one cranic with suffi
cient nerve to shoot him in the van; that
the only danger ho anticipated was from
cranks.
Dr. Callender was called. Judge Cox
said a statement had been made yesterday
that the couit surrounded the prisoner
with unusual guards and protection. He
would state that the prisoner was In the
custody ol tho marshal and not of the
court, and whatever guards had been fnr-
silabed nad been supplied by him.
Gulteau—“Well, then, your Honor, if
the marshal won't do his duty, 1 appeal
to the court. If the marshal won’t fur
nish a proper guard, kick him out, and
let’s have a new marshal.”
Jud^e “I have no doubt the marshal
Will do his duty in tills connection.”
Scovil.e read to the witness a letter
written by Gulteau, about ten days ago,
to Senator Den Cameron, askiug for five
hundred dollars, and asked for his opin
ion as to whether such a letter to a nun
he did not know does not indicate un-
soundness of mind.
Answkil-'T do not think it indicates
unsoundness of mind. It seems to me
consistent with his character ami habit
through life ol soliciting money from
sources where bo had uo reason to expect
it.”
Scovllle then read to Dr. Callender the
hypothetical case of the defense, and the
witness replied that upon that hypothesis
his insanity is a self evident proposition.
Dr. Walter Keinpsler, superintendent
of the Wisconsin Stale hospital for the in
sane, had devoted his attention to the
study of insanity for the pastsixteen'jears.
The witness was familiar with the pro
cess of taking conformation of the head,
hut he did not believe much iraportancejas
a rule could be attached to the shape of
the head in determining sanity or insan
ity. The witness exhibited a number of
slips showing the shape as taken by a con-
formelerof the heads of a number of
prouiiucut men, including Treasurer Gii-
tillau, Col. Ingeisoll, Judge Carter and
Col. Corkhlll. Considerable amusement
was created by tbe illuslratiousof the wit
ness and the running comments of Gui-
teau. Not a single diagram diMtosed a
symmetrical head, the witness
that possibly not a single perfectly sym
metrical herd might be fouud in the
courtroom. In the case of Ingersoll the
iwitiuss remarked, pointiug with his
pnger, “This side appear* flat as com
pared n ith the other.”
1 Mr. Davidge—“It bulges on tbe wrong
pde.”
Witness—“Yes; some would say so.”
[ Gulteau—“That shows that Dob and 1
jjioth cracked in tbe same direction.”
J. CorkhiU’s bead,”said the witness,

ment if I am canvicted, and

get bounced, and who knows I am tbe
cause of iu” .
Dr. Kempstcr then took the stand, and
Scoville resumed the cross-examination.
The witness did not believe in temporary
insanity in the sense that a person could
be insane and wholly recover in an hour.
He believed Sickles was sane, but Coles,
who shot Hiscock at Albany, was un
doubtedly insane. ...
Corkhlll announced that he bad but
one more witness to introduce on the part
of tbe government, and inquired of Sco-
vil.e how much time be would want to
consume on sur-rebuttal. Scoville replied
that be bad several witnesses, whose
names he presented, and would ask the
court to permit them to bo sworn on the
ground of newly discovered evidence ma
terial to the case. Corkhlll wanted to
know what he expected to prove. Sco-
ville replied: “We have evidence to offer
relative to the state of the prisoner’s ipind
just before the shooting.” He also stated
that lie would probably require all of
next week upon the rebuttal. Davidge
objected to the reopening of the case, and
Scoville insisted that he did not desire to
delay the trial, but the prosecution had
consumed weeks with experts, and ho did
not propose to bo cut short In the matter
of time.
Mr. Scoville suggested that the jury be
allowed to separate and go home upon
parole not to speak of the trial during
their absence from court, giving as a lea-
son solicitude for the health of the jury
men, which m ght become affected by
close confinement. Considerable discus
sion followed, which was cut short by the
foreman sajlng the jury did not care to
separate,hut desired a reasonable opportu
nity lor fresh air and exercise. The dis
cussion between the opposing couusel
continued for some time with considera
ble acrimony, when finally Mr. Scoville,
in reply to Mr. Corkliill, surprised every
one by making one of the best and most
impressive speeches that has been beard
iu the court room since the opening of
the trial. In earnest aud impressive lan
guage ho vindicated tbe conduct of the
defense and severely rebuked tho course
of the District Attorney in bis unseemly
cflorts to muzzle and drive the defense
from court. Some manifestation
of applause followed the conclusion of his
speech, but it was quickly checked by the
court.
Dr. Jol-.n P. Gray, medical superinten
dent of the New York State Lunatic
Asylum, then took the stand. The wit
ness had made the study of insanity his
business since 1850, aud in that time had
treated or investigated 12,000 cases of in-
samty.J |He had never seen a single in
stance where the only indication of insan
ity was the exhibition of immorality or
wickedness. He did not believe in what
had been called moral insauity. It was
Impossible to dissever mental unity so as
to locate an impairment of the moral na
ture that was not accompanied by an in
tellectual deterioration. Insanity in it
self had no more tendency to excite to
crime than neuralgia or any other dis
ease. It puts nothing new into
a man’s nature; it only perverts what is
already there. Dr. Gray stated that ho
made a thorough, complete and satisfac
tory examination of tho prisoner at the
jail, and at the request of the District At
torney gave at some length details of his
examination and of his conversation with
the prisoner. Witness had inquired of the
prisoner in regard to his alleged inspira
tion and asked him if it came to him in
tlie form of a voice or vision or a direct
command, and his reply was,“No, it came
into my bead as a conception, and I re
lied upon it until I rcsoived that it was
custified by the situation.” Witness then
j jked the prisoner how this statement ac
corded with his theory of inspiration, and
his reply was, “The inspiration wafjin tbe
form ol a pressure constantly upon me to
commit tho act.”
Guiteau—“That’s all there is in the
case—short and to the point. You can
talk about it six years if you want to.”
Dr. OffiK continued the story of bisin-

The witness was cross-examined by
Col. Reed, who produced a pamphlet re
port prepa-ed.by the witness as superin-
’endent of the Wisconsin InsaneJAsylum,
i read extracts from It. During the
ling a dispute aiose between counsel,
»seem to have gradually developed a
_t amount of bitterness. Some fifteen
—fijulos had be-mi consumed in the dis
pute, wli-ii the court a imonishod c junsei
fliat tho trial must proceed without con
suming so much time in discussion. The
cross-examination was continued by Mr.
Scoville, with an occasional outbuist on
the part of the prisoner, until the ad
journment. “He came here,” said Gui
teau, referring to the witness, “as an ex
pert for tho defense. Thai’s what he
said when he was in my cell; but good
liviog at Willard’s and Corkhill’s money
have been too much for him.”
Washington, December 29.—A ru
mor is current that the Guiteau jury
with one exception, are satisfied of the
Built and legal responsibility of the pris
oner. The twelfth juror, It is said, stout,
ly maintains that Guiteau is as crazy as a
^asihngton, December 30. —The
court room was literally packed tbU
morning. As soon as Guiteati reached
his seat in the dock he shouted out.
“Some of the leading papers in America
consider me the greatest fellow they have
met. At 8 o’clock last night I recalved a
telegram which I will read for the edifica
tion of this audience and the American
people.” He then then read:
“Jfr. Chaa.J. Guiteau, ft ashtnglon, D.
C—All Doston sympathizes with you
You ought to be president. ,
6 BjtHon or Admire ns. ’
Pausing a moment, be then branched off
into a rambling harangue, ending by say
ing: “I shall submit my name to the
next Republican convention. I aballex-
wet to be before it. There are only two
men in the country who wantme &ung.
One Is Judge Porter, who expect* to get
Guiteau t rial to-day Dr. Gray took the
stand and resumed the story of his conver
sation with the prisoner in tho jail. He
said the prisoner, referring to the shooting,
used this expression: “When I made up
m>mind.” Guiteau shouted: “Making
up my mind was the result of grinding
pressure. That’s whereinspiratiou comes
up. Please get that straight while you are
about it.” The witness was interrupted
frequently by Gulteau and Scoville, and
finally said: “There have been so many
interruptions I don’t know where I am.”
He got started again and said he had seen
a number of cases where persons laboring
under insane delusions had committed
acts of violence and bad afterwards recov
ered their sanity, but did not recall an in
stance of recovery within a shorter period
than three months.
The witness had never heard the word
pressure used in connection with an in
sane case other than in the physical sense.
He did not think a man acting under di-
vin# pressure, who should commit homi
cide, would be apt to appeal to the law
and civil authorities for protection from
the consequences of his act. He believed
tbe prisoner to bo sane. After recess tlio
cross-examination progressed without an
incident. Tho afternoon passed wearily,
and counsel for tho prosecution devoted
themselves to tfie preparation and arrange
ment of points for the coming arguments,
while Scoville seemed to be asking ques
tions to kill time. At 3 o’clock the court
adjourned until Tuesday.
The Vnnce Trial.
Meridian, Miss., December 31.—The
defense in the Vance case to-day called
Charles Dunn, who testified that he was
at Marinu on election day and saw Ed
Vance and Barnet meet, and heard Bar-
net make insulting remarks to Vance,
who said nothing. The witness in going
home met Allen Brown and Sam Gilles
pie about a mile from town. They were
going towards Marion. After awhile lie
saw tbem coming back with Barrel Brown
and others. They seemed to have been
riding hard.
P. C. Brady swore that ho went to
Marion with the Vances. They passed
several negroes on their way. Barnet
went into the crowd of negroes. He had
a stick in bis hand. He called it his po
lice ticket. After the disturbance started
the witness joined m. Young Ed Vance
ran to the witness and said: “Are you
armed?” He replied in the negative.
Young Ed Vance said: “Well, every
negro in this crowd has got a pistol.” A
crowd of armed men came up to the
bouse. Ed Vance said; “We had better
go inside.” When inside the crowd fired
on the house. The witness ran out the
back way. When entering the
woods he was halted by two armed men
and ordered to surrender, and promised
protection. John Vance running up the
lane frightened the men, and not a word
was spoken by either.
There were only two guns in tho
house and one of them was useless. In
an hour or two a body of armed men were
seen collecting about the gin house. One
of them called out: “I have a warrant
to arrest every mau in the house.”
The inmates of the house were badly
frightened. Ed Vance, senior, got in a
wardrobe. The inmates took the crowd
for a mob. Vance refused to surrender,
not knowing it was a legal posse, till the
sheriff came. Witness and Mrs.Vance went
out with white flags and met the sheriff.
Will Vance sent for the sheriff to come
to the house. The posse objected, sayiug
the sheriff would be killed. During the
negotiations for surrender, firing occurred
in tbe rear of the house, which was fired
into several times. The defendant was
not in the house when the first posse
came. Miss Sarah Vance, daughter of
Ed Vance and sister of tbe defendant, tes
tified that each posse fired on the house
several times—front and rear; that one
of the posse shot at her once. Saw no
shooting by any of the family.
Aftkr all the arguments about cheap',
ness aud quality it appears that Dr. Buli’f
Cough Syrup Is the best remedy for the
cure of coughs and colds ever offered to
the public. The price is only 25 cents a
bottle and every druggist in tbe land sells
and recommends it.
Atlanta, December 31.—The Cotton
Exposition closed to-day with appropriate
and imposing ceremonies. At 130 o’clock
Judges’ Hall, which had been profusely
decorated with flags and flowers, was
thrown open and an immense throng en
tered, and as many as could secured
scats. Tho stage had been enlarged, and
upon it were tlie officials of tho exposi
tion, tbe members of the executive com
mittee, the orators and the orchestra and
chorus which furnished the music. The
scene was an imposing one. Prayer was
offered by Bishop H. W. Warren, after
which soma letters of regret from several
distinguished men were read. Director-
General Kimball then delivered his ad
dress. He said the exposition had de
pended wholly for support on tho volun
tary subscriptions of its friends in many
and widely separated parts of tho coun
try. It had received no bonus from the
city and no bounty from tbe State. The
countenance which tlie people’s represen
tatives refused lias fortunately been ac
corded by their chief magistrate, and sus
tained aud applauded by the people them
selves. The grand central idea of the expo
sition—the main shaft to which has been
belted every wheel that has worked for
its success—is concentrated in the oue
word “Improvement”—improvement of
the knowledge of the people as to the
great resources at their command. What
American Ingenuity lias adapted to tbe
demands of American industries, produc
tive and creative, has here been shown
more abundantly and in a higher degree
than ever Leforo in the history of the
country. ....
Referring to the cotton ginning devices
on exhibition, he noted as wonderful the
fact that every cotton gin was a modifica
tion of Whitney’s principle. This fact
alone constituted a valuablo discovery,
and enhances in no small measure the
fame of an American inventor whose
labors raised h’m to the point of a benefac
tor. There lias been here also brought to
the attention of the cotton producers of
the world a recent invention that is_likely
to be as grand a gilt as the cotton gin was
when it first revolutionized the industry.
I refer to the cotton cleaner, which has
been declared tbe best device ever invent
ed for the accomplishment of an end uni
versally desired, and lias been awarded
the grand prize of the Exposition.
In announcing the close of tlie exhibi
tion he expressed tbe thanks of the di
rectors and all concerned, to their friends
in the different cities of the Union who
had aided the work, and to the press of
the country, which had so liberally up
held their cause, ne thought every exhi
bitor must be proud of the success which
the exhibition had aclieiveii. Who can
measure its beneficent effects? Who,
after failing to estimate tbe results upon
our productions and our industries, can
hope to weigh the influences it has cast
upon the lieaits of the people?
Tlie programme was as follows:
Chorus of singers, numbering several
hundred; grand inarch; entrance of officers
and guests; prayer by Bishop H. W. War
ren, of the M. E. Church; “America,” by
the chorus and audience; letters from
Hon. Jas. G. Blaine and others, read by

“I understand they have a very fine ex
hibition at the art association this sea
son,” said Mrs. Breezy as she poured out
a cup of coffee for her lord and master.
“So I hear,” said Mr. Breezy, taking his
place at the head of the table.
“If you haven't any engagement to
night, Mr. Breezy, we will go round and
see the pictures,” said Mrs. Breezy, in a
tone of voice which implied that she did
not expect her lord to refuse.
“I’m very sorry, dear—”
“That’s enough,” said Mrs. Breezy.
“Of course, you have an engagement.
What do ycu care about pictures and art?
But it’s time we did take an interest in
such things, Mr. Breezy. You cannot ex
pect to be thought anything of unless you
have some good pictures on your walls,
and our house Is a disgrace to tho age we
live in. Why, the wall are as bare as the
top of your head, Mr. Breezy,and it’s time
we had a picture or two about, just for
appearance sake, if nothing else.
“Yes,” said Mr. Breezy, “I saw some
stunning colored photographs—”
“Colored photographs!” ejaculated Mrs.
Breezy, in a tone of disgust. “Mr. Breezy,
you are without soul. You’re wanting in
the finer feelings which go to make up the
cultured side of life. You are—”
“I read that myself,” said Mr. Breezy,
“I suppose it is very high-toned language,
but I didn’t understand it, and what is
more, I don’t believe you do,” continued
Mr. Breezy, with surprising firmness.
“Mr. Breezy, if you are contented to re
main ignorant of the beautiful—”
“Ignorant of the bcautliul,” repsated
Mr. Breezy, “yes that was stuck on the
end or the article. Lots of words, but I
didn’t see the sense of the thing.”
“Will you allow me to get in a word
edgeways?’’cried Mrs. Breezy, thump
ing tlie table vigorously with her knife
handle.
“Certainly, my dear,” said Mr. Breezy,
subsiding, and assuming his normal
mildness of demeanor.
“As I said, our house is as bare as a
barn,” continued Mrs. Breezy, “and if we
do not wish to be put down as ignorant,
vulgar people, we must get a few pic

oil paintings and not tea store prizes or

“Of assorted sizes?” broke in Mr.
Breezy.
«You will go with me,” continued Mrs.
Breezy, paying no attention to her hus
band’s interruption. “It may soften
down your rough, practical nature, which
does not rise above law books aud hideous
legal papers.”
“She’s got ’em,” murmured Mr.
Ereezy.”
“Mr. Breezy, I should like to know
what you mean to imply by that remark,”
said Mis. Breezy, indignantly.
“Why, the icsthetic craze,” said M r.
Breezy, suddenly bracing up amazingly.
“I can stand a good deal, Mrs. Breezy,”
he continued, “hut there I draw the line.
Why, at this rate we shall soon have tho

“Well, I never 1” said Mrs. Breezy,
amazed.
“No, I know what poor Brown has suf

pushing his chair back and throwing bis

His house is turned into an old junk shop.
The floor, the tables, everything covered

The railway officials to-Uay received ad
vices from Mexico permitting them to pro
ceed with tho construction of the Sonora
railway on the Magdalena route. The
decision is a victory for them, as that

WASiiiNGTON,December30.— 1 The Post
to-morrow will publish a letter, with a
fictitious signature, tho writer of which
claims to have boen a clerk in the Con
federate treasury at Richmond, and as
such accompanied the specie from Rich
mond to Charlotte, N. C., leaving Rich
mond on the night cf April 2d, 1S85. Tlie
amount taken tlie writer does not know,
but thinks it must have been very large.
At Danville, Va., the treasure was on
April 3d taken from the car and placed in
a bank vault, where it remained until after
Leo’s surrender, when Secretary of tlie
Treasury Trenholm, knowing there was
no further hope of success for tlie Confed
eracy, ordered that a portion of the specio
be used to redeem Confederate notes a: the
rate of one dollar of specie for seventy of
currency, and the writer claims tha the
saw immense sums of specio thus paid
out, being himself one of the fortunate
ones. After Lee’s surrender, what
remained ol tiie specio was sent to
Greensboro, where $09,000 was paid to
Johnston’s army. Here also all the offi
cers and clerks of the government were
paid off in gold, In suras ranging from
fifty to two hundred and fifty dollars each
—tho writer having assisted in preparing
pay roles for this pnrpose himself, and
again a beneficiary presumably as ho de
scribes the methods he and others used
to conceal their treasure. What then
remained was taken southward, but"tho
writer parted company witli it at Chvr-
lotte, and thereafter had no personal
knowledge of it. But he scouts the idea
of Jefferson Davis having profited by a
single dollar of it. The writer, in a pri
vate note, gives iiis name and address as

in the city jail this morning in the pres
ence of nearly three hundred persons.
Erb slept soundly until nearly half past
four o’clock, wheu ho arose and ate a

dead in five minutes.
Charleston, December 30.—Gabriel
White, a negro, was hanged at noon to
day In Waltersborough for tho murder of
Frederick Bellinger, colored, in 1S70. The
cause of tlie murder was jealousy about a

Little Rock, December 30.—Last
Friday night, at Bentonsville, Arkansas, a
man named Eson Bolen was killed in his
bed, and his wife confessed to shooting
him. She justified herself by saying that
Bolen bad killed two men, was a horse
thief and had lived by theft in every placs
where they had been. That he had*
threatened her life at various times, aud
ou two occasions he had drawn his knife
on her, and that her life was a most mis
erable one with him. Her statements
were made la a cool and unmoved man
ner, while tbe dead body of the man was
so near that she might bsve touched it.
The jury’s verdict was that Bolen died at
the hands of his wife. Three of her
children were sent to tbe poor house,
and she was permitted to take heryounger
son, three months old, to the jail with her.
On Monday she borrowed a knife from
the jailer, ostensibly to rip up a drest to
make over for her child, but instead cat
her throat and died in a few moments.
Little Rock, December 30.—A spe
cial to the Gazette from Texarcana says:
“This morning at 2 o’clock a man n*med
John Smith was shot and mortally
wounded by one George Berry. Smith
bad never seen Berry before. Berry wa*
arrested and while on his way to jail was
taken from the officers by some railroad
men, who tried to hang him on a pair of
cotton scales. The scales being too low
they turned him over to the officers again,
declaring if Smith died they would bang
Berry to-night. Smith is dying and Berry
will probably be lynched.”
Keokuk, La., December 30.—There is
considerable excitement hero over the
fact that between thirty and forty medical
students have been stricken with a disease
that is pronounced by the president of the
Board of Health aod several prominent
physlclausto be small-pox. It appears
that a body received from Chicago was
used in the dissecting room of the medical
college, and that the subject had died of
small-pox. ___
New Tear’s Wine,
It is unforlauate that a custom so pleas
ing should have associated with it sugges
tions of evil; but, though sad, it is true
that New Year’s day is a time of tempta
tion. There are young men, and old
men, too, whose smothered appetite is
roused by the smell of liquor, and to
whose good resolutions one taste of wine
is as dangerous as a candle in a powder
magazine. Ladies wlic, in arranging their
tables, have supplied wine or stronger
drink, can do real good by correcting their
bills of fare.
The importance of this advice may be
illustrated by an incident which occurred
three years ago. A family of this city
served wire to their guests, but, when
the two sons of the family came, tho bot
tles were slipped to one side. The broth
ers started on their round with the sis
terly admonition, “now you won’t drink
anything?” To a caller who had just re-
lused pressing offers of sparkling liquor
from this same sister, tbe admonition bad
a strange sound, and be said: “Do you
so much fear tho effect of a little wine qq,
your brothers?”
“No; but when they begin they d|
know when to stop.”
The door opened, and half a dozen pe
sons, two being mere boys, came i!
They all took wine, and the afore-men
tioned caller had not even time to sug
gest that their sisters might be anxious
lest they would rot know where to stop.
The caller saw. them later in the day,
and they were unmistakably tight. He
saw also tlie two boys whoso sister’s cau
tion he had beard, and they, too, were
drunk. He had seen them
since in tlie same condition, and
knows that one of the two is the
slave of s’rong drink, and physically
and morally a wreck. Wo do not know
that New Year’s wine is responsible for
this ruin, or that It lead to tiie ruin of the
boys to whom Iiis sisters served it; but
are sure that many a young man dates
iiis movemeiit on the downward grade
from liquor served on New Year’s day.
We are glad to believe that the custom of
thus tempting men is on tho decline, and
equally glad if any word-blows we can
givo will help it out of good society.
Fresh Air in the Bedroom.—How
much air can be safely admitted into a
sleeping or living room is a common
question. Rather it should be considered
how rapidly, without injury or risk, and
at how low a temperature. We can not
havo too much fresh air, so long as we
are warm enough and are not exposed
to draughts. What is a draught? It
is a swift current of air, at a temperature
lower than tho body, which robs
eiiher.tho whole body, or an exposed part
of its heat, so rapidly as to disturb the
equilibrium of our circulation and give us
gold. Young and healthy persons can
r-Sbituate themselves to sleeping in even
a cold draught, as iron an open win
dow, if they cover themselves, in cold
weather, with an abundance of bed
clothes. But those who have long been
accustomed to being sheltered from the
outer air by sleeping in wann and nearly
shut up rooms, are too susceptible to cold
to bear a direct draught of cold air. Per
sons over seventy years of age, moreover,
with lower vitality than in their youth, will
not bear a low temperature, even in the
air they breathe. Like hothouse plants,
they may be killed by a winter night’s
chill, aud must be protected by warmth
at all times. As a rule, we may say that,
except for the most robust, the air which
enters into a sleeping chamber should in
cold weather be admitted gradually only,
by cracks or moderate openings, or should
have its force broken by some obstacle,
as a curtain, etc., to avert its blowing im
mediately upon a sleeper in his bed.—

MlB COTTON EXPOSITION,
A Taw Facia, m raw Iiapreaaloaa ami
Atlanta, December 28, 1S81.—It is
too late in tba day to write up the exhib
its of the great cotton show, even if I
were so inclined. Existing fact* would
preclude anch an effort, as all the exhibits
save a few prominent ones have been
copyrighted by certain newspapers, so
that it wonld be an infringementof vested
rights to make any inch publication.
Tbe exhibition is a grand one, and Ita
influence will prove a blessing to the
South, and incidentally to the North; It
ha* been a success. Atlanta hss reaped
the first fruit and has been amply repa’d
in dollars and cents for her energy and
outlay. Her energy hat been conspicu
ously mauifest in that she hss made other
people pay for her whistle. Her outlay
has been more In muscle and ingenuity
in getting cash out of visitors than in pay
ing it out of her own pc^j^t. The efforts
have been prodigious, and for one, I am
glad she has succeeded.
The next beneficiary is the State of

that Mia. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured a supply
for tho child. On reaching tome ana ac
quainting his wife with what he had done,
she refused to have it administered to the
child, as she was strongly m favor of ho
meopathy. That night the child passed
in suffering, and the parents without sleep.
Returning home tho day following, the
father found tlie baby still worse; and
whiio contemplating another sleepless
night, tho mother stepped from the room
to attend to some domestic duties, and
left the father with the child. During her
absence he administered a portion of the
Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said
nothing. That night all hands slept well,
and the little fellow awoke in the morn
ing hrieht and happy. The mother was
delighted with the sudden and wonderful
change, and although at first offended at
the deception practiced upon her has con
tinued to use the Syrup, and suffering
crying babies nad restless nights have dis
appeared. A single trial of the Syrup
never yet failed to relieve the baby and
overcome the prejudices of tbe mother.

der any other set of circumstances. Her
hidden wealth has been revealed, and In
such a light that they can uo louger re
main in obscurity. Other Southern
States, only in a less proportion, have
shared in these beneficial results, and
they stand before the world undeniably
inviting fields for investment and develop
ment.
The North and Northern sentiment will
be benefited by being relieved of unfound
ed prejudices and aroused to a conscious
ness that it will take something more
than the “waving of the bloody shirt” and
tho bowling of driveling demagogues to
keep the South in vassalage any longer.
Competition takes the place of denun
ciation, and not only in production but
also in’inrestment; the capitalist will find
as great security for tho outlay of his
money in the South as anywhere north of
Mason and Dixon’s line, and that here
larger results will attend his investment.
There have been for six weeks past very
luffie throngs in attendance upon the ex-
lion. A few of this great mass have
Ten benefited. They have taken in tbe
tuation and theit minds have been ex
panded. They have returned home with
new purposes and higher aims, and ulti
mately the whole section will be the gain
er of the knowledge acquired. There are
many others who have absorbed but.little,
yet what little is taken iu will lead the
mind to meditation and comparison, and
better results will follow than present ac
quisition would promise. Then there is a
large number of people who have visited
the exposition who have had no higher
purposes than that of a mere frolie.and go
away unprofited, and can give no definite
idea of what it is composed, than a darky
could after a learned disposition on as
tronomy. Timo and money are both
squandered in such instances. I heard a
young man on my return, remark that it
was a “dull show” to him. All that he
could remember was quite a number of
pretty girls, and what was to be seen in
some of tiie side-shows. A billiard saloon
or a ball room would have proved far
more attractive to him. He belonged to
that class of young men who part their
hair in the middle. All that many ladies
remembered were the displays of Stevens
audJaccard’s jewelry,and “such a delight
ful timo with the boys.”
Perhaps no siDgle class has been more
benefited than the farmers. The splen
did display of of labor-saving farm imple
ments and machinery lias been to them
a wonder and an inspiration. Hundreds of
impleemts have been purchased aud will
be put into active use in’the cultivation of
next year’s crop. There is a constant
change going on, not so much in ideas as
in the methods for the cultivation of our
farms. The Southern farmer knows bet
ter how cotton should be treated to make
an abundant yield than any other people.
The means by which this treatment can
be secured n thr one leading demand of
the times. This exhibition has brought
to their attention implements that will
lessen the labor and facilitate the cultiva
tion of our staple. The majority of farm
ers who visited the exposition have been
close students in this department and the
largest possible advantages may be looked
for.
The mineral display is large and varied
aud hat attracted the attention of visitors
from other sections. They seem to see
bonanzas in many directions, and no small
amount of capital has already been invest
ed, and more will be.
Some of the newspapers are wont to chide
Col. Wadley, because he said the people
of Georgia were tco poor to visit the expo
sition, and point to the gathering crowas
to exhibit his mistake. The people were
there m great numbers, it is true, but after
all, this does not disprove the wisdom of
Col. Wadley. Many were too poor to bo
there. They left honest obligations un.
satisfied to accomplish this feat.
Some of them borrowed the money,
and others sold provisions which they will
sadly need before any more is made to go
on this frolic. The love of many r
such occasions is only equaled by that of
the negro to gain admission to a circus.
They are content to do without meat for
a month, so that their desire may be grat
ified. Some ol these were benefited, and
1 sympathize with tbem and hope they
may be relieved from their embarrass
ment. But a largo majoriiy of this class
have gone away no wiser than when they
entered tbe grounds.
The rush is over, and on Saturday the
gates will be finally closed, and the crowds
will be scattered to the four winds. Tbe
lessons to be gathered will bo manifold,
and time alone will roveal their fruits.
If any one was inclined to be fault-find
ing, there are many points open to criti
cism, both in arrangement and manage
ment. This I leave for those who are
more Intimate with all tbe details. I have
endeavored to see all tbe good I could,
and write down, that the Cotton Exposi
tion of 18S1 has been a grand success, and
only excelled, so far as my own observa
tion goes, by the Philadelphia Centen
nial of 1870.
I bad the pleasure of meeting Mr. San
ford, of Connecticut, a gentleman of
wealth and intelligence, looking around
in the South for an investment in manu
facturing operations. He will spend the
winter South, and will visit various points
before making up his mind as to his
place. I also met the chivalrous governor
of South Carolina and ex-Gov. Bonham,
of the same Sttte, in company with other
gentlemen,were quietly taking in the sights
of tbe exhibition. I also got a glimpse of
Senator Morrill, of Vermont, the author
of the present tariff bill before Congress.
Two or three citizens desired to entertain
him at their homes. Like a wise man he
declined, he being a stranger, and took
quarters at the Kimball House. I am un
der obligations to Captain Campbell, of
the Press Pavillion, and Major Herbert,
of the Savannah News, and Captain R

In my last paper I asserted that mos

Chinches, annoying as they may be,
have a purpose, aud night after night they
are working the accomplishment of that
purpose, achieving those duties which as
factors in the economy of nature are In

A PENSION Pit A UO CASE.
A Hu Applies for a Pension and

Washington Republican.
An interesting case was uefore Justice
Bundy onSaturday, involving an attempt
ed fraud on the Pension Office. Peyton
Randolph, a colored messenger in lira
Navy Department, was charged by the
commissioner of pensions with presenting
a false claim for a pension. Tbe evidence
brought to light a very ingenious fraud.
The defendant was a claimant for a pen
sion on the ground of a wound in his left
foot. He bad some difficulty in getting
proof, and so be resorted to the method of
writing letters himself to himself, and
having them mailed from Shreveport, La.
He also represented himself as George
Fox, the second surgeon in
iiis regiment, and went before Notaiy
Public Bragg, of the Navy De
partment, and made an affidavit that he,
Peyton Randolph, was entitled to a pen
sion, and this affidavit and others were
placed on file in the Pennsylvania office.
Mr. Bragg testified that Randolph was
tlie Mr. Fox who made the affidavit be
fore him. A number of letters, addressed
to’ himself and signed with fictitious
names, were also identified as Randolph’s
handwriting. The defendant was com
mitted to jail in dofault of $1,000 bond to
await the action of the grand jury. Ran
dolph claimed to be on intimate terms
with Secretary Hunt, Senator Kellogg
and other prominent men in Louisiana.
He was escorted about the city by a mar
shal to get bail, but did not succeed.
