C., January 6.— Scoville has received a bona fide proposition from a medical gentle- man for the body of Charles J. Guiteau. This gentleman, whose name Scoville declines to make pub- lic at present, has offered to pay im- mediately, $1,000, the amount of purchase money, on condition he shall have the body of the prisoner as soon as the execution of the law has been met, to dispose of abso- lutely as he shall sce fit. He also agrees to take his chances of waiting one month or twenty years for the consummation, of the bargain, on Guiteau’s part. The proposition was submitted to Guiteau to-day, and seemed to impress him quite favorably. After reflecting a mo- ment he suggested: ‘I think ought to bring more than that: per- haps some other fellow may offer $2,000. all, and it-I get a new trial that mis- erable Corkhill can’t bring on a lot of fellows just to swear how much I owe them.’” An Incident of Shiloh. The verteran Colonel Thomas Keynolds, of Madison, was one of the brayest men Wisconsin had in the war. The colonel was under arrest for some trivial matter at the onening of the battle of Shiloh, be- ing major at the time without stop- ping to ask for release, he seized a shillalah, and took command of the regiment after the field-office been disabled, and fought as gailant- ly as any man on that bloody field. Grant saw him with his peculiar weapon, and asked, **Who has com- mand of this regiment?’ ‘I have that honor, General.’’ ‘*Where is your sword?’’ ‘You have it, Gen- eral.’”’ Grant then remembered that the major had been arrested. Those | who saw Grant say a tear rolled | from his eyes ashe said, **Major, ou are released. Your sword will e sent to you.’’—[ Milwaukee Sun- | day Telegraph.

He is bent and bowed like a man of go years, and yet has not reached three score and just after his graduation speak of him as a_ splendid-looking young man, with almost a pertect military air and carriage. To-day his droop- ing shoulders, long gray beard, flow- ing white hair, and powerful staff upon which he leans for support give him an appearance not unlike fee Jefferson’s representation of ip Van Winkle; yet they tell me he presents much the same appear- ance as when he was a lieutenant- general in the confederate army, rid- ing at the head of the Second army corps, which he commanded. That he is still vigorous, notwithstanding his appearance, and is full of fire, fight and vindictiveness, is evident. €z lle wears the old reguiation gray, the color still loved and respected by southerners, and thus preserves the memories of the past in his every- day appearance, as in his words and efforts. He is rather above the moulded frame, naturally capable of great powers of endurance. His friends say that his mind 1s still c jand vigorous, and that he is by ;means an old man. He seems to have no close triendships, but to live within himself and upon the recol- { lections of the past. sault upon Mahone scems to have revived interest in him all over the ‘country, and it has brought him prominently before the people of the state where he was almost for- gotten.

No art can paint, no sculptor can chisel the dim- pled rosy cheek, the lustre of the eye, the bewitching smile nor the long luxurant tresses—as nature presents in a beautiful woman. All females can retain their health and personal charms by the use of English Female Bitters. no6-2w The Butler Times demes the charge | of the Holden Enterprise that ‘Butler i espoused the Harris scheme.’ We admonish our Butler friends that they had better join the Harns pro- sion or prer to see it go by ay of Rich Hill.—[Journal-Dem- ocrat.
