HOME QUESTIONS OF JUDGE PORTER. ——— ‘The examination of Guitean asa witness in his trial for the murder of President Garfield was con- ‘tinued this afternoon after the report on the first Page of this paper closed, as follows: GUITEAU'S SUIT AGAINST THE HEALD AND HIS BOARD BILLS. Mr. Scoville asked if he had not offered to com- Promise his sult against the Herald. The prisoner sald he had written to Mr. Bennett and offered to settle for $5,000, and he expected that Mr. Bennett Would send the mouey. “Iowe probably,” said the prisoner, “$1,000, and that is every cent I owe In this world. If Mr. Bennett sends me that money Tam going to pay some of those boarding house Dills that have been thrown at me here.” ASPIRATIONS FOR THE PRESIDENCY. “T have had an tea,” said the prisoner, “In my head for twenty years that I would be President of the United States. I went into polities with that | Ject idea. If I become President it will be an act of God—a special act of the Deity.” ‘The prisoner here Drought his fist down & reibly. “I antici- pate,” he said, “ ded change in the public pinion tn respect to me. The court suggested that counsel confine the Prisoner to simple narrative and not perinit him deciaim. Mr. Scoville asked if his political aspirations had anything to do with his offer to Mr. Bennett. “1 didn’t want to get the York Herald down on me,” ssid the prisoner. “If I had pressed the Suit itmixht do me a great deal of harm when I am nominated.” After pausing awhile, the pris- Oner snapping his fingers, said: “I don't care Snap about being President of the United States. Idon’t know whether I would take it if Iwas nominated.” THE JUDGE STOPS GUITEAU. Mr. Scoville inquired as to’ the prisoner's notice to womankind that he wanted a wife and asked if he was sincere. The prisoner said: “Why, of course; no harm in that, is there? Iwas divorced and could legally marry again.” This awoke a new train of thought iu the prisoner's mind. He said: “I want to say | about-that divorced wife of mine—” “Here, here, that will do,” said the Judge. “I don't know anything about her,” persisted the prisoner, “and i don’t care anything about her, but—" Here the jndge made the prisoner stop. Mr. Scoville surrende the prisoner to the Prosecution for cross-examination. Cros-cxamination of Guitean. Judge Porter, rising, conducted the cross-ex- amination. This was Mr. Porter’s first appear- ance ss an active partictpant i the trial. He pursued the prisoner with questions which con- | siderably shook his nerv “Do you consider yourself a manof unusual | ability?” asked the eotinsel. ‘Xpress no opinion on that, judge,” said the Prisoner, with an air of easy familtart “Have you not expressed such an opinion?” “T decline to answer.” Jwige Porter questioned him very closely as to his habits of lite. “You are a christian, are you not?” ‘So, judge.” During your stay in the Onelda Community, Were you,” said Judge Porter, with a frown, “strictiy virtuous?” ‘The prisoner hesitated, and then answered: “Not absolutel; * Did you not say so yesterday?” “ T intended to say,” Said the prisoner, “that I had been mostly a Strictly virtuous man. AS a matter of fact, I had to do with three distinct Women, If you want to know the truth.” The Jude having gone over the story of the pris- oner’s law business in Cat he asked whether in one of his suits the prisoner ever secured a ver- dict for his client. “I think,” sald the prisoner, slowly, “I did have One case ii which I sued a man for $500 or $600, Tt Was before a jury, and was rendered for my client. He could not remember any of the par- tieulars of the ‘The prisoner admitted that Ahe was a man of determination. & QUESTION 45 TO THF ASSASSINATION, AND THE ANSWER. “You determined to kill Gen. Garfield, did you Rot?” inquired Judge Porter. “I decline to answer,” said the prisoner; “it is a pretty strong w: chotee in the ess Was, and how excep. Mens! was the case in which the prisoner paid his | bills, GUITEAU'S MEMORY FAILS nM. His memory, hitherto so remarkabie, fatled him altogether, when he was asked to name some of | } his numerous clients. The prisoner sid he had | done collecting business for many leading mer- | chants of New York. Of the leading merchants the prisoner sii dont think it 1s necessary to drag their into this case at all.” Being press Mentioned the names of Green, & Co., confectioners, and a Liquor firth for which he had | Gone collecting. - ‘The prisoner having been pressed with a number Of questions as to his debts, sald:—“I claim tw be | an honest man, and always paid my debts when | Thad the money.” “And when you had not?” asked Mr. Porter. “Well, [couldn't pay.” HIS DIVORCED WIFE. Having been asked about his married life, the Prisoner broke out about bis divorced wife:—“I | have known nothing about the lady since and bave cared nothing for her, except tw wish her well.” GUITEAU AND GEN. LOGAN. “Do you know Gen. Logan very well2” asked Mr. Porter. “I know Gen. Logan, yes, sir;” answered the prisoner. “Did he say he would indorse your applica- ton?” “I so understood him.” “Did he say sot” insisted the examiner. “Yes, sir, he did suy so.” Mr. Porter referred to Gen. Logan’s dental of this. The prisoner said Gen. Logan sald, when he | asked hin to sien his paper:—“Thaven’t’a pen and | ink here, but come up stuirs to-morrow and I Will Sign it. The next day he seemed to have for- gotten.” “That 13 a kind of way these politicians have of doing things,” sald Guiteau, explaining the matter. Purther on he said: “1 want this thing to Ko out to y Straight. It is an im- I dont think Gen Logan in- me oF to decetve this court” Me Sud he thought in te depot “arthur is President.” = = AS TO SHOOTING THE PRESIDENT. Being questioned as to the shooting he repeated | his old plea of inspiration. “I and the Deity did 4,” he said. “Who bought that pistol, the Deity or you?” “I say it has nothing to do with it,” sald the Prisoner. Judge Porter repeated his question. “The Deity furnished the money with which I Pousht it," suid the prisoner. “I was the agent of e Deity.” “From whom did you receive the money?” “It was of no consequence from whom I recetved it, whether from Mr. Jones or Mr. Maynard.” \< Were you,” said the examiner, “inspired to Duy that British bulliog pistoiz” * T don't ciaim that I was to do that specific act.

Then he said: “By murder so-called; yes sir, so-called.” “You d succeed, you say?” penne je doctors did the wor.” “You tried, a ity tried, and yet you did not succerd® cotta “I think that the Deity confirmed my act Dy letting the President down so easily.” } “Do you think the long torture suflered by the | President was letting him down so easily2” “Tygt isa matter with the Deity, and Idon't care 0 discuss tt here,” replied the prisoner. GUITEAU DON'T LIKE THE WORD “ MURDER.” ‘The examiner having used frequently the word “murder,” the prisoner said “I don’titke the word. murder. It don't represent the actual facts in this matter.” Mr. Porter went over the question of inspiration very closely. Referring to the papers of the pris ‘oner, he showed that the prisoner claimed to have conceived the “rem flash.

CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE RESULT—NINE CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD—AND YET A DARK HORSE ‘MAY WIN—THE EAST VS. THE WEST. Though only two days intervene until the cau- cus, it was anything but lively at the different headquarters to-day. There were but few present at any of them, but the leading candidates are not die. They are hard at work. It seems to be gen- erally conceded that Hiscock, Kasson and Kelfer are the leading candidates, and that the others are training as dark horses and waiting for the three in front to Kill each other off. Mr. Burrows ts taking matters very quietly. He has heen putin the field by friends who believe In him, and tf they can elect him, he will be gratified; but he 1s not making an ai ive canvass. The leading candidates, or their friends for them, have been fuvestigating’ the records of each other, to make use of anything that could be discovered to the detriment of an opponent and benefit of themselves. Hiscock’s participation in the Grecley or “liberal” movement of 1872 has been overhauled for the purpose of showing that he has not always Deen as sound a republican as now. Kasson’s utterances on the tariff have Deen over- hauled, and several speeches found, in which he ts. Said to’have leaned towards free trade. Thad. Ste- vensreplied to one of these speeches, and it 1s said that Gen. Garfield felt called upon to say someting in opposition to Mr. Kasson’s free trade sentune ‘The object of bringing this out ts to Weaken Kasson with the protectionists,and especl- ally to hurt hiin with the Pennsylvania delegation. Kelfer's votes and speeches on measures for the improvement of the Missis«{pp! have been searched. His opponents represent that he has not been friendly to the improvement of that river. This fs done to hurt him with western members. Gen. Keifer sald Uits morning that the ventilation of his record on that question would not ald his opponents: t been with the west on that question and was very willing to have his Votes made an issue in the canvass. ‘The Penn Sylvania delegation seems to be the principal ob- now in view. Exch of the leading candidates seems ‘to think that if he can “get the Pennsylvania delegation that wili save him. One of the most influential re- publican members, who ts very active In the pend Ing fight, said: “ The race ts between Hiscock and Kasson, and my opinion 1s Hiscock will be elected. The Feport that some of lls delegation are dis- affected towards him is entirely untrue. ‘They are cordially supporting him. Another false repart 18 that the President does not want Hiscock, and Would be displeased .at his election. I saw the President this morning. He said that he had not uttered a word for or against any candidate, and would not; that it was not his place to suggest or di-tate,and he proposed to hold entirely aloof from the canvass; that any Speaker the party sees fit to elect will be entirely accept- able to him. I know that he will not, either directly or indirectly, have anything to do with the matter.” This republican—and he Is ina position to know—sald that the readjuster meinbers will not go into the republican caucus, but they will Vote the entire republican ticket. A member of the Per nia delegation said they were not committed yet to any candidate, but that in re- gard to the tiriff Hiscock would be acceptable, as be is a protectionist. He added, “So will either asson or Keifer.” ‘The friends of Mr. Hiscock rely a good deal for the success of their favorite upon promises made in his behalf before President Garfield. was shot. Mr. Hiscock began hiscanvass early, and before the 46th Congress died last March ‘he had the. as- surances of possibly a majority of the old members. who had been elected to the 47th Congress to sup- port him. Then, however, Ohio had the President, and the inctinstfon was to allow the east to have the Speakership. Since then, however, the muta- tion of events has placed the Presidency in the hands of a New York man, and many western members, who agreed to support Mr. Hiscock last spring now feel that th obligation of ; in the Prestienc ndoubtedly tn agerevating his strength, Mr. Hisco"k makes mistake in placing in hiscolumn western members who promised to support him when the west and not the east had The claim that the west fs entitled to the Speak- ‘hip because of the east having the Presidency, adds to the chances of Mr. Kasson, of Iowa, very materially. And yet among the ‘ultra-stalwarts, Kasson is:somew hat handicapped, because of the belief that Secretery Blaine 1s favorable to his selection. ‘Thus the old sores still rankle In the divisions of the party. Ifthe west had another candidate equally well adapted to Mill the Speax- er’s chair as the Jowa candidate, the stalwart dis- trust of both Kasson and Hiscock would be of benefit to such candidate. The friends ot Mr. Keifer, who are keen enough to see this chance for his contest, are endeavoring to create the iinpres- sion that the administration is really anxicus he should succeed, and, furthermore, that Senator Don Comeron Is actively helping his S. One thing seems assure d, ana that is, ifthe west Will unite upon a candidste, Mr. Hiscock will in ail provbility be defeated; otherwise he stands a Very guod chance of being élected.

Outlines of its Physical Geography. ‘with Notices of its Geology. % ‘The following interesting paper on the Poto— mac river was recently read before a meeting of the Maryland Academy of Science, and appears in the Baltimore Sun: This historic and celebrated streams at once the grandest and most remarkable of the sur- face features of Maryland. It is in many re- spects both a river and abay. Two great divi- sions, marked by peculiar individualities, distinguish it Intothe Upper and Lower Poto- mac. The latter forms the estuary or bay por- tion of the river, or that in which the tides ebb and flow. It extends from George- town to Chesapeake bay, a distance of 125 miles. Below Alexandria it expands to a width of nearly two miles, and all along its winding course receives the waters of wide, picturesque creeks, which increase its breadth and produce far- reaching estuaries at the lower levels. Some of these expanses of water are from three to five miles wide, while the river measures at its mouth nearly eight miles. between Point Look- out and the Virginia shore. Along the upper ade of its course, south of Washington, the anks are made up of clay and sand cliffs, which rise to a height of 50 to 60 feet. but as it pro- ceeds the high border lands gradually slope lower, and finally fade out in points and bars. Before entering this division it has left the re- gion of primitive rocks, and afterwards it passes only through the alluvial and soft beds of the Jurassic and later geological periods. THE UPPER POTOMAC. But that part of it to be more particularly noticed here is the river proper, usually called the “Upper Potomac.” It is at present entirely beyond the reach of the tides, and perhaps has always been so. Swift and powerful, it rushes in imperturbable grandeur through a channel of its own construction, cut out of all the series of rocks and through the bodies of the most massive and elevated mountains in the state. In form- ing the entire southwestern boundary of Mary- land it forms a water border of uncommon diversity, and shapes with great diversity the lower outlines of five large counties. Away up among the high mountain summits, where West Virginia touches the great Backbone or Alle- ghany range, marked by the Fairfax stone, this youngest of our great rivers bursts forth from the sandstones, shales and limestones of the car- boniferous strata. The region is one of marked interest from the variety of striking objectswhich it presents to view. Hill tops and knobs of mountain height. loftier than the Blue Ridge, shaped and trimmed by the tremendous floods | of the later geological ages. stand in close prox- imity between the crests of the higher ridges. A vast sea of rocky waves and forest-clad billows swallow up the landscape in all directions. Broad belts of hemlock, spruce and the north- ern pines bound the highest horizon and form a dark background for the oaks, chestnuts, ma- es, birches and poplars of the less elevated po- sitions. A most picturesque scene stretches out before the eye as it takes in the winding valley, with its silvery thread of water, here and there arrested by a ledge of dark rocks, then flashing the sunlight from the torrent or rapid, or leaping in foam-atirring cascade to the basin scoped in the rocks below. In the deep solitude of the wilderness, where broken masses of rock lie spread around in endless confusion, where the forests are choked with the trunks and branches of the fallen trees, and the moistened slopes are coyered with the mat- ted foilage of the vines and creepers; there, too, where the flowering shrubs and sweet scented ferns weaye chaplets and plumes of the tender- | est green over the crowns of the weather worn | boulders, this bright streak of water pursues its | onward course, ever forward and downward, with a ceaseless impulse towards the sea. It is the great outlet for the waters which reach the surface in a territory nearly 200 miles in length, while its tributaries on the north side cross nearly or quite the entire width of the state. Its great south branch in Virgima, with the Shen- andoah and a dozen smaller rivers and creeks drain an area fully twice as great. Indeed, THE SOUTH BRANCH is the principal member of the upper river, and to it is largely due the wide expanse of water which it discloses before passing beyond the high mountains. Soon after leaving the head- waters it has worn a deep trough into the firm rocks, torn away huge pieces from the hard ledges and resistlessly rasped and dug its way downward along the flank of the great Back- bone mountain until the foot of the great coal basin has been reached. Its course has hitherto en Northeast, it has spread out into a broad ‘eek, with shallow but limpid water running and pebbly bed; now it makes a around to the west; then, resum- ing the former course and bending north, it ceives the waters of a tine branch, the another bend is made, and the creek adds its narrow stream to the quickened food, which rushes on with new energy. Itisnow prous and strong creek, able to contend with the obstructions that press in its way. Two miles above the former it had taken a new direction, going ina general southeast cours this is pursued for a distance of about eight wiles, during which it is tearing its way across the end of Dan’s mountain, and then flows on to New creck. The slope of the country now favors another change of direction, and accordingly the river rushes away northeast through its shallower trouzh, interrupted by frequent rapids between the ridzes of Dan’s and Knobby mountains, a distance of twenty miles, when it bends abruptly around the spur of the latter mountain and touches the city of Cumberland. Wills creek now adds its quota of water, and the river passes dewn on the east side of Knobby mountain. Here it is charged with islands near the Virginia shore, and soon bends into the form of the letter $ to pass through the gorge in Evitt’s mountain, It is now in the very heart of high, abrupt ridges whose barriers must bé crossed at right angles. Running in a straighter line towards the south- east, it rushes through tie gorges of Martin’s, Warrior and Town Hill mountains, surrounded by most romantic seenery, decorated in all di- rections by a boundless stretch of verdue-clad. hill and le. In the interval it bas been joined by the great South Branch, and the two have united their waters to dash on with re- newed energy in rending the hills and distrib- uting nourishment into the valleys further away. Having passed Town Hill, it flows in long, irregular loops towards the northeast. Cutting its way through the dense body of Sideling Hill and gliding in perfect silence over the wreck of mighty ledges of rock now lying as scattered boulders over its bed, it bends once more and run: down the valley of the Tonoloway to where the little town of Hancock stands, out upon the hills. The beautiful dam which feeds the Chesapeake and Ohio canal has been i, the arched rocks and the cement beds of the Round Top have been left behind, and the beau- tiful, clear river, as smooth and placid as a lake, glistens in the sunshine and reflects the images of the grand old trees that line its banks. Still broad and shallow, pursuing its course oyer the planed edges of the sandstones, slates and lime- stones that lie across its path, it makes a long sweep towards the east by a little south, until the spurs of the North Mountains are reached. At this point it has broken through a deep gorge in the midst of a wild, rugged and most romantic country, to become involved in dif- culties which it could only surmount by passing suddenly around the unyieldingrocks and form- ing along, narrow loop. After bending twice more it strikes the heavy slates at Williamsport, admits the copiouscurrent of the Conococheague river, is unable to penetrate further in the same direction, an@ is obliged to turn west and retrace nearly three miles of the distance previously gained. A great struggle for masterv now goes on between the river and the lime- stone beds, with their layers of chert and dense slate. Thus the river is compelled to run diag- onally in a general southeast direction and to bend back upon itself six times before its con- flict with these hard rocks is over. Through an (rs aa of country more than 25 miles in length it gained and lost, and at best has been obliged to follow the course of the great valley, and to submit to its conditions. But now, after Harper's Ferry is reached, the great rapid stream 1s favored by the tremen down-slide which split the South mountain. or the giant face and arching strata of Maryland heights sepev in over- powering” grandeur . overhead. On the opposite shore the town of Harper's e summit of the of which the celebrate perched. Across the §) . than @ quarter of a mile ig ete are ele ge ape lv to the brink of the rapids, covered to the very top with close- set trees, between whieh piles of the mountain sandstone lie ia Tadegeribable dis- order. As far as the eye,gan reach in this di- rection, spurs, stand together in close proximity, all but the two lovely valleys through the waters of the two great rivers find their outlet. An enor- mous but unimproved water-power now ap- in view, the Potomac beeomes fully one- of a mile wide, and a heavy flood passes over a sloping but nearly flat channel. | Such quick succession that the bed of the stream mountain stands in rock and tree-clad silent majesty in the foregtound; the Point of Rocks rises as a rocky bluff upon which to rest the eyes; the opposite shores wave away in vast, rounded swells of upland; the mighty river roll: in_sitvery brightness, losing itself in the mist- softened ‘verde of the far-off landscape, while all the features of hill, valley, woodland and sand blend into the tender blue of the scarce unded distance. Still gradually widening as it runs, and Segall J @ southeast direction, the river receives the Monocacy at the outlet of the delightful Frederick valley. A wide open tract enlarges the view of a luxuriant and pic- turesque region. The splendid viaduct for the canal over the Monocacy, the highly cultivated hills on the borders of Montgomery county, and the triple-crown sculptured in the white sandstone of the Sugar-loaf mountain stand ont as monumental objects in the midst of the soft-toned landscape. The river now makes a wide bend in passing the hard slate rocks, and then enters the brown hills of the new red sandstone forma- tion. From this point the slopes gradually in- crease in steepness, and for a distance of eight- een miles rise and fail in long serpentine wayes. About four miles from the beginning of this sandstone its extreme altitude is reached in | rocks which rise abruptly to an altitude of more than one hundred feet above the river. A new surprise now bursts upon the senses. The suin- mits of the ridge are made of uplifted crags and chimney rocks reaching farabove the tops of the tallest trees, resting upon long lines of natural | brownstone mason and decorated at every turn by tufts, plumes, and festoons of lovely plants, ferns, and creepers. Long, wall-like ridges’ of this picturesque rock, set in a back- ground of far-reaching foliage, appear at fre- | quent intervals along both shores of the river. | And _ here its waters are interrupted at three | or four stages by islands which have settled in | its path. After passing the new red sandstone | aregion in strong contrast with the former is reached. The uniform, wall-like structure of the hills give place to the bent, twisted, and upturned ridges of silvery gray or blackish rock. Tremendous forces have been at work here on a grand scale. Fora distance of two miles the whole bed and surface of the country have been pressed together with such violent force that the former body of a huge | mountain has been shattered into jointed frag- | ments, in part carried aw and only its broken | base left in the trough of the river. Through- | out this distance rapids. succeed each other in is gradually lowered to a depth of eighty feet. THE GREAT FALLS OF THE POTOMAC now appear at the lower end of this scene of ruin. A fall, thirty-five feet in height, now pre- | | cipitates an enormous yolume of water; this | into a syummetrical shape. and when the branches | is divided into three principal cascades of un- | mon grandeur, which, after boiling and | chafing amidst the terrible rocks of the deep basin below, dash with uncontrollabie violence | te looming stalks at least one-half, ax the through canyons of their own digging and | Sweep out in a broad torrent through the chan- nel below. On either shore of this great scene of desolation piles of shining rock thrown on | id project high into the ‘sky and send off | craggy ledges from the base of every tower- | ing “peak. The Jointed rock fills the | whole region as far as the eye can| Teach, and the prospect is rendered still more | wild and impressive by the thinlv spread out forests which straggie over the broken ledges. Nowhere else in the state, if indeed anywhere 1 the eastern side of the continent, cana more | sublime and awe-inspiring spectacle be seen. It is of such an unusual type in this part of the | United Stated and so remarkable that the mind | is directed first tothe region of the Rocky moun- tains to find its counterpart in structure and | sublimity. The remainder of this division of the river keeps on for fourteen miles, which take it | to Georgetown. In this part of its course it has | | Steadily forced its way through the granite rocks, spread out into a deep channel nearly | three-quarters of a mile wide, until, after gath- | ering into a series of cascades at its lower falls, and gliding along over bolders and broken stones, it tinally becomes lost in the waters of the alluvial basin at the head of tide-water. THE MOST CHARACTERISTIC EXPRESSIONS OF THIS | RIVER are in the freshness, vigor and variety which it everywhere displays. It crosses the Appalachian region ina direction which brings it in direct contact with every geological formation that belongs to the eastern slope of the continent. It winds its way through them all, or only yields where harmony is indispensable, in conformity with unalterable physical conditions. As a continental force its career seems but of yester- day. The ages had been steadily prepa: for | its advent. Cool morn, of a long geological | day succeeded by the glowing heat of an | equally protracted noontide, had been fol- lowed the long evening twilignt of | the carboniferous era. Hoary mists and long periods of rainfall had saturated the low hills and set rivulets running in the ravines and bot- toms. But now the mighty mountains are up- | folded, an ax ating the basins of the east | Irom those of the west is built high into the air, and cracks haye opened in its flanks to let loose | the imprisoned waters of the subterranean cay- | ities. From the end of one of these the young | giant arose and burst forth with all the énerzy | of a new life. Pushing aside the deep soil | which rested around, and forcing apart the bits of rock that stood in the way, it soon worked a deep path out and along’the | dark mountain side. Plunging, — but- | ting and leaping against the ridges standing in its path, a narrow trough was cut away up in | the midst of the hest uplands, and then, | gradually working, forced its way down to the lower levels, until the sea was reached beyond | the lower hills. As the ages have rolled on it has pursued its onward course in nearly the- ection, ever deepening its channel and | ¢ so wide that it has been at one time a roaring flood of more than two miles in breadth. From the time of Washington to the present, ithas been recognized as the great avenue leading to the west. and its great usefulness in the future will depend upon the skill and judg- ment with which it is employed to facilitate commercial relations between the two sides of a continent. ee Do Rol ‘ake a Nip From the Chicago Herald. A New York sporting paper a short time since stated that the robin during his hiberna- | tion in the south “cuts up” somewhat after the manner of the 9th Massachusetts during the late visit to Richmond; that this favorite north- ern sovgster—the robin, we mean—does not show himself much in southern latitudes until the berry of the china tree is ripe, and then partakes of it liberally, becomes intoxicated from the alcoholic quality in the berry and otten falls to the ground in an unconscious state. The Atlanta Constitution defends the bird against this slander as follows: ‘Observation has convinced us that the antics vf the robins are the result of suffocation and not intoxica— tion. The conformation of the bird’s neck is such that food must pass directly across the windpipe to reach its destination, and, in the case of a china berry, this emeey is rather troublesome to the bird. The berry lodges against the windpipe and the attempts to swal- low it result in suffocation. It is then the bird falls from the tree and his efforts to swallow the berry have the appearance of drunkenness. Generally the bird recovers, but sometimes it is choked to death. Upon several occasions the bsiaoee pees Led Se the ete} birds y merely pressing the the windpipe and their recovery was. aiacet taster We al- lude to this grave matter here because a num- ber of our exchanges have reproduced the original slander, and it distresses us to see the character and good name of an innocent bird bandied about in the columns of an irresponsi- ble press. ” ——__-+-____ Nota Row at All, From a Salt Lake Tribune Law Revort. wer what did you see in the south Expert—I saw a disturbance.

There is nothing more attractive to the passer-by than plaats and flowers in the casements; and when the gardens are covered with snow and frost, and the earth is heid in the stern fetters of winter, there is no occupation for the housewife more cheering than that of window gardening.
