[From the London-Standard.] The last mail from. West Africa brings ns a humble Btory of Ashantee cruelty, which, however, awaits confirmation. The present sovereign of that country fattta brother of KingrKoffee Xalkalli, wjith whom in former days wejiad some unpleasant words and Sir Garneb Wol- seley some hard blows. But nntil his Majesty, only a fewmonths ago, began to develop his family tendency to raid on the| Fanti territories, and even to threaten Cape Coast Castle, so little had the affairs of Ashantee troubled the outer 'world that it .came almost as a , surprise to learn that Koffee had been deposed, and that his -brother reigned in his stead. However, the astute monarch, when he heard of the rein' foroements from Sierra Leone, hastened to assure the British Governor that the whole affair was a mistake, and that, BO far from'ever dMaming of molesting his good friends, the white men, he was encouraging .the missionaries in every way. • In brief, he was quite a reformed eharaotor, and in proof thereof dis- ' patched his golden ax to keep company in. Windsor withhis brother's .umbrella and the war club of The Bombau, of Fiji Nevertheless, if the woman who has escaped from the Annantee-capital ir not telling traveler's tales, MB Ma- jesty's manners will decidedly bear im- provement. Only reoentiy—so runs ' the-story-*-Bome "swish" was required for the repair of one ot the royal build- ings in Cbomassie. Now, the "swish" used in ordinary'houses is simply earth . worked up with water until it thus acquires a certain degree of tenacity. - But this vulgar mortar was not sufficient .for the King's purpoees. Accordingly, • ha directed 200 young girls to be mur- dered in order that blood might be used to'moisten 'the: day opt of.which the , palace walk were to be constructed-' This ferocious mandate was duly exe- cuted,- the only one of the victims who .escaped being the refugee who has carried the, tale \to the Cape Coast • •c.— — aTnuinan'nature one would tain believe this atrocious story t o . b e ' a n invention, though, unfor- tunately, it is so thoroughly in keeping with what we know of Ashantee customs, and'Bo much on a par with similar superstitions elsewhere, that we fear there is a large element of truth in it, even should it provo to be exaggerated ina few minor particulars. The Ash- •ntees, like their neighbors, the Ffons, ot Dahomey, revel in human blood. Tbe .King's Ochras, or buffoons, are slaugh- tered when he dies, and the "King's stool," on whioh .is sprinkled a few drops of the blood of every person exe- ontedi, 'when last seen.-was a horrible spectacle. The exeoutioners are men of high rank. The most trifling offense is,punished by decapitation, and so familiar is thislsoene to the residents in GoomasBie that when the little son of one of the German missionaries—who were "freed by King Koffee on the ap- proach of our troops—was angry with any one he would exolaim. "Your head will fall "to-morrow !" "The town re- sembles a oharnel honse. The -piles of skulls and bones heaped up at intervals testify to the long continuance of these inhuman praotices, and even when tbe army- of Sir Garnet Wolseley entered the place the putrefying bodies, still unburied, filled the air with a dreadful stench. * The story which the Ashantee girl baa brought from Coomassie is a terrible example of ono of those fearful "survi- vals" which .the ethnologist is daily un- earthing. ' If the King mixes bis palace "swish" with the blood ot 200 virgins, he is only a nineteenth century repre- sentative of the 12 master masons who, when the walls of Copenhagen sank, as fast as they were built, vaulted into them an innocent girl at play, and. thus allayed the wrath of the Northern "nis«- ser/' The Bridge of Arta fell again and again, until the workmen walled in their master's wife, and we are told that, in accordance with'her. dying curse, it trembles to this very day. There is scarcely a church in Germany or Denmark to which some such legend does not attach, and in Polynesia tem- ples are pointed out the foundations ot which were imbedded in human bodies. Two years ago the native ..quarters of Madras were wildly excited over a rumor that the Government was .about to sac- rifice several viotims in order to, insure the safety of the new harbor works, and a few years earlier tbe same idea so prevailed in Calcutta, when by the Rajah of Sialkotwith a view to inBure the stability of oneof Jbh» bas^ tions of bis fort , i It is, therefore, more than- prdbable that the latest story from*Ashantee is substantially true. [ Human 1 life is al- wayB at a disoount in these tbiokfr-pop- ulated African kingdoms. Could the African potentates be taught tooultivate the Boil, or to mine the .minerals' in if;," they would, withjheir natural shrewd- ness, speedily discover a more profitable employment for their subjects and cap- tives than killing them. Sixty years ago the King of Ashantee told M. t>npuis that since tife king of England hfd pre- vented him from selling hi? slaves, he had to murder them, lest they'feboujd Mow strong and murder him. Africa is, indeed, never likely to be the Eldora- do of traders, as for a time Jit was thought to be, Mr. Joseph Thompson, tin the oourse of his'-recent journey, I saw nothing worthy of the attention of European capitalists, and in spite!'of the inflated accounts of Mr. Stanley, Dr. Gouldsbury, Administrator of thejGam- bia,'ln the report of hisexploration into the interior of that colony, just ^ssued, affirms .most positively that "any hops based on that fiction of the futjttre, to wit, the event : of Africa becoming Eng- land's -mart fo* manufactured goofls," is oertain to end in disappointment.' What Constitutes Perjury." The Court ot Appeals, of the State of New York, has decided in the O'Reilly case that- a man who signs a -false affi- davit whioh is certified by a notary or other officer authorized to administer oaths, cannot be indicted for perjury un- less he aotnally makes the oath or. af- firmation before the' offioer. In verify- ing a claim . against the county-of Albany, O'Reilly signed the affidavit and went before a notary, who signed the jurat. But the oath was not ad- ministered-or taken, and no words to that effect passed between them. On 'the trial' of O'Reilly for perjury the Judge ruled that the mere signing of the affidavit and the jurat by O'Rielly and the notary, though done in silence, would amount to 1 a legal oath if the parties intended that it should. This ruling is reversed by the Court of Ap- peals, which decides that the mere sig- natures .to theafBdavjtand jurat are not enough to nuke a valid oath for the falsity of whioh perjury will He. The oa|h muBt actually* be taken in the pres- ence of the officer authorized to -admin- ister it.' There must be, says the Court, "an unequivocal and- piywrt aot by whioh the affiant ooksdpusly takes upon himself the obligation of an oath. The delivery in this case of the signed affi- davit to the offioer was not snob, an act, and was not made so by the intention of one party or the : supposition of the other." AB the praotioe of signing affi- dayite without taking, the oath is by no means rare it is well to know that for making a false affidavit in that way the wilful offender or the careless affiant oannot be held to the penalty of per- inry. ^ __1_1__\ ''"'.''. The Irishman at Home. N asby paints the - following doleful picture * of the Irishman as he appears off the stage and on his native heath:— The Irishman has not only no short- tailed ooat, but he considers himself fortunate if he has any ooat at all. He has what by courtesy, may be called trowsers, but the vest is a myth. He has no comfortable woollen stockings, nor is he possessed of the regulation stage shoes. He does not sing, dance or laugh, for he has no: place to sing, laugh or dance in. . He is a moving pyramid of rags. A man who outs bog all day from daylight to. dark, whose diet consists of a few potatoes twice a day, is not much in the humor for dancing all night, even were there a place for him to dance in. And as for jollity, a man with a land agent watch- ing him like a hawk to see how much, he is improving his land, with the char- itable intent of raising the rent, if by any possibility he can screw it out of him, is not in the mood to laugh,.sing, dapoeor "hurroo." One might as well think of laughing at a funeral. Ireland is one perpetual funeraL The ghastly prooess|on is constantly passing. There is unquestionably a vast fund of humor .in the Irishman.whioh would be delight- ful could it have proper vent You hear faint tones of it as it is, bat it 1B in the minor key, and very sad. It always has a flavor of raok-rentinit, a taste of starv- ation, a suggestion of eviction and death ; by cold and hunger on the roadside. It isn't cheerful. I had much rather have the TTV^wift™ silent than to hear this remnant of jocularity whioh is always streaked with blood. . THE KAMES OF MAINE. The. "Horsebacks" and| "Whale- backs" of tbe Pine Tree State. [from the Portland (Me.) Transcript.] It is a faot not generally known that the .whole surfaoe of the'State of Maine is streaked with the beds of rivers which flowed through the ice during the glacial peroid. The river-beds or de- posits now exist in the form of ridges, and are geologioally known as horse- backs or whalebaoks. In some in- stances they form a continuous em- bankment, with level surfaces on whioh roads have been Constructed. They are formed of Band, gravel, and pebbles brought down by the water or imbedded in the ice floe. We remember onoe in a stage ride from Brownville to Oldtown driving for. miles on the .top of one of these horseback ridges. It was well defined, being little more than sufficient in width for the road-bed. Our attention has been called to this subject by a pamphlet by Prof. George H. Stone, formerly of Kent's Hill Seminary, now of Colorado College, Colorado Springs. He has made a.study of those ancient river-beds, which are scientifically known as kames, and in the paper before us shows an intimate knowledge' of the topography of Maine. He traces the kames from their sources in the narrow gorges of the hills, through long distances, until they spread out in some instances into gravelly plains. He gives a map of the kames of Maine showing ,that the surfaoe of the State is striated with a surprising , number of these ridges which testify to the ioe-sheet whioh Once covered eastern' -North America. As the ioe melted rivers were formed, flowing between walls of ioe and carrying: in their waters a detritus which in its gradual deposit formed these now elevated river-beds. One of these kames, traced by - Prof. Stone, and called by him the Portland system, began .with the waters' of Lake Welokennebaoook, flowing through the narrow pass of the Black Brook and on down the valley of the Ellis B,iver, through Bumford and Woodstock, to Bryant's Pond. Here it is known as the whalebaok, and is yary distinctly marked. It continues on through Oxford, Poland, New-Glouces- ter, and Gray, reaching, with short in- terruptions, to Stevens's Plains, where another, gap' occurs, and it then re- appears in jgrayel bars 1 on BramhalTs hill and MuSjjoy's hill in Portland. It has an entire length of about 105 miles. .Along this_cour8ei a^ great kame river 'once floored, forming bars' here an" its mouth in Portland. Prof. Stone describes thirty-one of these kame systems in Maine, of varying length. They frequently cross low hills, show- ing that the tame rivers were not de- flected by hills less than 200 feet high. Flowing from north to south,- their courses are not deflected east or west by the hills, nearly so muoh as are the streams of to-day. .There are frequent gaps, in them, but all lie along con- tinuous lines of valleys or : over level ground, and all are practicable lines for railroads. In ;many Instances they cross the bed of lakes, sometimes for many miles, and can be traced under the water. It is interesting to consider that we have thus in our. State two river systems, the ancient and; the modern, that of the glacial period and that of- to-day; the one leaving beds elevated abj^r,,the general surface, the the work of erosion below the general level. The one wore away the; great ieesheet, the other is wearing away the hills and bringing the earth's surfaoe to a uniform level. Our Gold and Silver. The annual report of the Direotor of thef United States Mint for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1881, has been submitted to the Secretary of the Treas- ury. .The gold and silver received and operated upon by all the mints and assay offices, exceeding by more than 850,000,000 the receipts of any previous year, amounted to 8226,225,522.46, of which $193,371,101.01 was gold? and $32,854,421.45 silver. This large in- crease was. due tola oontinued influx of gold from abroad, over 850,000,000 de- posited being from that source alone. The gold coinage amounted to $78,733,- 864,-. and the silver coinage to $27,649,- 96f£". The base metal of minor. coins amounted to $405,109.95. In addition to the coinage, the- mints and assay offices manufactured fine, standard, ster- ling, and imported bars to the amount of $100,750,649.94 in gold and $6,542,- 232.35 in silver. The Direotor estimates the production of the United States during the year to have been $36,600,000 in gold and $42,- 100|000 in silver, the silver being esti- mated at its coining value. Fromthe reports of-manufacturers it is estimated that at least $11,000,000 in gold and $6,000,000 in silver were consumed in the making of jeweby and other nrti- oleB. The speoie oiroulation in the United States'at the. end of the fiscal year is estimated at $440,000,000 in gold and $171,500,000 in silver. On Novem- ber 1 the amount of speoie and bullion in-the mints and assay offldes; available for and awaiting coinage, was $563,- 006)000 in gold and $186,000,000 in sirVer. In view of the failure of the Paris conference, the Direotor-says it is a Question for serious and early consid- eration whether, it is not desirable to suspend,the further coinage of silver unfal, by^ international agreement, the unlimited coinage of silver and gold at a fixed ratio has been authorized oy the principal commercial nations of Europe and America. The United States, he says, could not, single handed, sustain the value of silver should the silver coin now in circulation in Europe be demone- tised, The world's production of gold for ihe calendar year 1880 is estimat- ed at $107,000,000, and of sfl^er at $87j500,000. ' Frait in the House-Cellar, -Many who. would not keep: vegetables in the oellar.of the house, make that a store-room.- for fruit without being aware that fruit is really the most un- healthf ul. of the two. ' Winter varieties of apples, when gathered, are very hard; -if stored—in the oellar^lhey -sooner, 'or 'later, during the winter, according to the variety, beoome mel- low and ready to be eaten.. This change is really the beginning of decay, and the atmosphere is concerned in pro- ducing it. Not only does the • air effect the fruit, but the fruit in turn- acts upon the air. Oxygen is taken from the air by the fruit, and carbonic add is given oft". When fruit is stored, in a room that is perfectly air-tight, so muoh of the carbonic acid (a gas) given off accumulates that a candle, is at once extinguished, and a man oannot breathe, in the room. : The, presence of oarbonie acid, as it indicates the absence of :ygen, aids greatly in the preservation of the fruit. The poisonous properties of this gas are well known; • when it is mixed with the air in the proportion of and part to four, such air is poisonous one will cause death; and a muoh smaller quantity will cause headache and a sense of wearinessM. While a lighted candle will serve as a test for its presence in dangerous quantities, a smaller and still unhealth- ful proportion can not be so readily de- tected? When the • cellar is used to store fruit, says the American Agri- culturist for December, it is not prac- ticable to. prevent the oarbonio aoid from diffusing itself, through the rooms above. It «is better to store the fruit elsewhere. A cellar under a grain-barn or other out-building, or a detached ceUar, should be provided for storing fruit where practicable, as it is better both for the family 1 and the fruit.. But there are many, cases where the cellar of the house-is th,e only available place and the fruit must be kept there, or not at all. Those who are obliged to do this V should keep in mind the dan- ger, and provide against it Fruit, as alreadytstated, will keep longer, if the carbonic acid is allowed to. remain in the- store-room, .but the-Welfare of the inmates, of the house-demand its re- Thonghts for Sunday Leisure. a time the people dreaded to go abroad after dark lest they should be kidnapped.

For instance, a circle means "no good— won't give anything;" a cross indicates' that, the inmates will give good food but not money; an upright cross conveys the information that the 1 house is a good, one to call at; the figure 2 means that the people keep a dog; a cross within a cirole, that the odoupant is out of town, • and BO on. : The custom, is an English one, and in London especially; is much resorted to. But it has its advantages, for it saves unnecessary trouble both to the inmates and beggars, beoanse the latter are not disposed to waste time ir calling at houses where the chances of success are slight. WHAT HE WAS APBATD OF.—The New York Sour recalls the story of Peter Dagger's death in that city. Mr. Gag- ger,. the well known Albany lawyer and politician,, was so timid -behind a horse taat it was almost 'impossible to per- s»de him to enter an open vehicle such as a phaeton or wagon. While in New York attending the Democratic National Convention in 1868, he wa3 induced-to take a drive with Mr. John B. Develin, although it required considerable per- suasion to secure Mr. Cagger's consent. Beturning home, Mr. Develin driving, as they, entered the park the light wagon was upset, andMr. Gagger's head com- ing in contact with a large stone, he was instantly killed. The fate he seemed to dread, although he tempted it so little, overtook him at last. Admiral. Powell's Miafortnnea. The Louisville Courier-Journal says: Life is so full of tragedies that no one. need read fiction in order that they may shed tears over imaginary woes. If any one hod said to Mrs. Jeannetto .Powell one year ago that in the space of a few months her husband, who wan her idol, would lose her and his eyesight, and be blind and in a hospital, she would have said that the God^whom they both loved and served' was too merciful to send Buoh an accumulation of afflotions upon TTia.servant in his oldage. And yet the noble, old Admiral is patiently enduring such trials and sufferings. It is not quite a year since Admiral Powell first discovered that cataract was form- ing on one eye. Soon afterward his wife had a congestive ohill and died. Salt tears and anguish of mind soon finished the work, and the sight of one eye was totally destroyed and the other sympathized. Dr. GLisholm, of Balti- more, was consulted; and by his advice the Admiral took leave of his home and friends here, after making his will and settling all his business affairs, and went to Baltimore, and was placed.in the Eye and Ear. Infirmary for the re- moval of the cataract. The operation has been performed, and at first it wag thought successfully; but inflammation has set in, and there are grave appre- hensions in regard to the results. No tender, loving wife watches at his bed- side to be eyes and everything else to him. Alone he passes through the long, dark watches of the night. Gladly would relatives and friends minister to him, but the rules of the institution do not permit "nursing except by those in the employ of the hospital. Of oourse the Admiral's frienda call upon him,. ' and are allowed to visit him.'whenever he is well enough to join them in con- versation. ^ ^ _ _ _ _ ^ _ _ _ ^ _ - • A LAW QUESTION.—A curious ques- tion in criminal law has been raised in Berlin.

ATROCITIES Iff ASHANTEfc.

Reports in England of the Slaughter., . of Two Hundred Girls.

[From the London-Standard.]The last mail from. West Africa brings

ns a humble Btory of Ashantee cruelty,which, however, awaits confirmation.The present sovereign of that countryfattta brother of KingrKoffee Xalkalli,wjith whom in former days wejiad someunpleasant words and Sir Garneb Wol-seley some hard blows. But nntil hisMajesty, only a few months ago, beganto develop his family tendency to raid onthe| Fanti territories, and even tothreaten Cape Coast Castle, so little hadthe affairs of Ashantee troubled theouter 'world that it .came almost as a

, surprise to learn that Koffee had beendeposed, and that his -brother reignedin his stead. However, the astutemonarch, when he heard of the rein'foroements from Sierra Leone, hastenedto assure the British Governor that thewhole affair was a mistake, and that, BOfar from'ever dMaming of molesting hisgood friends, the white men, he wasencouraging .the missionaries in everyway. • In brief, he was quite a reformedeharaotor, and in proof thereof dis-

' patched his golden ax to keep companyin. Windsor withhis brother's .umbrellaand the war club of The Bombau, ofFiji Nevertheless, if the woman whohas escaped from the Annan tee-capitalir not telling traveler's tales, MB Ma-jesty's manners will decidedly bear im-provement. Only reoentiy—so runs

' the-story-*-Bome "swish" was requiredfor the repair of one ot the royal build-ings in Cbomassie. Now, the "swish"used in ordinary'houses is simply earth

. worked up with water until it thusacquires a certain degree of tenacity.

- But this vulgar mortar was not sufficient.for the King's purpoees. Accordingly,• ha directed 200 young girls to be mur-

dered in order that blood might be usedto'moisten 'the: day opt of.which the

, palace walk were to be constructed-'This ferocious mandate was duly exe-cuted,- the only one of the victims who

.escaped being the refugee who hascarried the, tale \ to the Cape Coast

• •c.— — aTnuinan'nature onewould tain believe this atrocious storyto .be 'an invention, though, unfor-tunately, it is so thoroughly in keepingwith what we know of Ashantee customs,and'Bo much on a par with similarsuperstitions elsewhere, that we fearthere is a large element of truth in it,even should it provo to be exaggeratedina few minor particulars. The Ash-•ntees, like their neighbors, the Ffons,ot Dahomey, revel in human blood. Tbe.King's Ochras, or buffoons, are slaugh-tered when he dies, and the "King'sstool," on whioh .is sprinkled a fewdrops of the blood of every person exe-ontedi, 'when last seen.-was a horriblespectacle. The exeoutioners are menof high rank. The most trifling offenseis,punished by decapitation, and sofamiliar is thislsoene to the residents inGoomasBie that when the little son ofone of the German missionaries—whowere "freed by King Koffee on the ap-proach of our troops—was angry withany one he would exolaim. "Your headwill fall "to-morrow !" "The town re-sembles a oharnel honse. The -piles ofskulls and bones heaped up at intervalstestify to the long continuance of theseinhuman praotices, and even when tbearmy- of Sir Garnet Wolseley enteredthe place the putrefying bodies, stillunburied, filled the air with a dreadfulstench.

* The story which the Ashantee girl baabrought from Coomassie is a terribleexample of ono of those fearful "survi-vals" which .the ethnologist is daily un-earthing. ' If the King mixes bis palace"swish" with the blood ot 200 virgins,he is only a nineteenth century repre-sentative of the 12 master masons who,when the walls of Copenhagen sank, asfast as they were built, vaulted intothem an innocent girl at play, and. thusallayed the wrath of the Northern "nis«-ser/' The Bridge of Arta fell againand again, until the workmen walled intheir master's wife, and we are toldthat, in accordance with'her. dyingcurse, it trembles to this very day.There is scarcely a church in Germanyor Denmark to which some such legenddoes not attach, and in Polynesia tem-ples are pointed out the foundations otwhich were imbedded in human bodies.Two years ago the native ..quarters ofMadras were wildly excited over a rumorthat the Government was .about to sac-rifice several viotims in order to, insurethe safety of the new harbor works, anda few years earlier tbe same idea so

prevailed in Calcutta, when

by the Rajah of Sialkotwith a view toinBure the stability of one of Jbh» bas^tions of bis fort , i

It is, therefore, more than- prdbablethat the latest story from*Ashantee issubstantially true. [ Human1 life is al-wayB at a disoount in these tbiokfr-pop-ulated African kingdoms. Could theAfrican potentates be taught tooultivatethe Boil, or to mine the .minerals' in if;,"they would, withjheir natural shrewd-ness, speedily discover a more profitableemployment for their subjects and cap-tives than killing them. Sixty years agothe King of Ashantee told M. t>npuisthat since tife king of England hfd pre-vented him from selling hi? slaves, hehad to murder them, lest they'feboujdMow strong and murder him. Africa is,indeed, never likely to be the Eldora-do of traders, as for a time Jit wasthought to be, Mr. Joseph Thompson,

tin the oourse of his'-recent journey,I saw nothing worthy of the attention ofEuropean capitalists, and in spite!'of theinflated accounts of Mr. Stanley, Dr.Gouldsbury, Administrator of thejGam-bia,'ln the report of hisexploration intothe interior of that colony, just ^ssued,affirms .most positively that "any hopsbased on that fiction of the futjttre, towit, the event: of Africa becoming Eng-land's -mart fo* manufactured goofls," isoertain to end in disappointment.'

What Constitutes Perjury."

The Court ot Appeals, of the State ofNew York, has decided in the O'Reillycase that- a man who signs a -false affi-davit whioh is certified by a notary orother officer authorized to administeroaths, cannot be indicted for perjury un-less he aotnally makes the oath or. af-firmation before the' offioer. In verify-ing a claim . against the county-ofAlbany, O'Reilly signed the affidavitand went before a notary, who signedthe jurat. But the oath was not ad-ministered-or taken, and no words tothat effect passed between them. On'the trial' of O'Reilly for perjury theJudge ruled that the mere signing ofthe affidavit and the jurat by O'Riellyand the notary, though done in silence,would amount to1 a legal oath if theparties intended that it should. Thisruling is reversed by the Court of Ap-peals, which decides that the mere sig-natures .to the afBdavjtand jurat are notenough to nuke a valid oath for thefalsity of whioh perjury will He. Theoa|h muBt actually* be taken in the pres-ence of the officer authorized to -admin-ister it . ' There must be, says the Court,"an unequivocal and- piywrt aot bywhioh the affiant ooksdpusly takes uponhimself the obligation of an oath. Thedelivery in this case of the signed affi-davit to the offioer was not snob, an act,and was not made so by the intentionof one party or the: supposition of theother." AB the praotioe of signing affi-dayite without taking, the oath is by nomeans rare it is well to know that formaking a false affidavit in that way thewilful offender or the careless affiantoannot be held to the penalty of per-inry. ^ _ _ 1 _ 1 _ _ \ ''" '.'' .

The Irishman at Home.N asby paints the - following doleful

picture * of the Irishman as he appearsoff the stage and on his native heath:—The Irishman has not only no short-tailed ooat, but he considers himselffortunate if he has any ooat at all. Hehas what by courtesy, may be calledtrowsers, but the vest is a myth. Hehas no comfortable woollen stockings,nor is he possessed of the regulationstage shoes. He does not sing, danceor laugh, for he has no: place to sing,laugh or dance in. . He is a movingpyramid of rags. A man who outs bogall day from daylight to. dark, whosediet consists of a few potatoes twice aday, is not much in the humor fordancing all night, even were there aplace for him to dance in. And as forjollity, a man with a land agent watch-ing him like a hawk to see how much,he is improving his land, with the char-itable intent of raising the rent, if byany possibility he can screw it out ofhim, is not in the mood to laugh,.sing,dapoeor "hurroo." One might as wellthink of laughing at a funeral. Irelandis one perpetual funeraL The ghastlyprooess|on is constantly passing. Thereis unquestionably a vast fund of humor.in the Irishman.whioh would be delight-ful could it have proper vent You hearfaint tones of it as it is, bat it 1B in theminor key, and very sad. It always hasa flavor of raok-rentinit, a taste of starv-ation, a suggestion of eviction and death; by cold and hunger on the roadside. Itisn't cheerful. I had much rather havethe TTV wift™ silent than to hear thisremnant of jocularity whioh is alwaysstreaked with blood. .

THE KAMES OF MAINE.

The. "Horsebacks" and| "Whale-backs" of tbe Pine Tree State.

[from the Portland (Me.) Transcript.]It is a faot not generally known that

the .whole surfaoe of the'State of Maineis streaked with the beds of rivers whichflowed through the ice during theglacial peroid. The river-beds or de-posits now exist in the form of ridges,and are geologioally known as horse-backs or whalebaoks. In some in-stances they form a continuous em-bankment, with level surfaces on whiohroads have been Constructed. They areformed of Band, gravel, and pebblesbrought down by the water or imbeddedin the ice floe. We remember onoe ina stage ride from Brownville to Oldtowndriving for. miles on the .top of one ofthese horseback ridges. It was welldefined, being little more than sufficientin width for the road-bed. Our attentionhas been called to this subject by apamphlet by Prof. George H. Stone,formerly of Kent's Hill Seminary, nowof Colorado College, Colorado Springs.He has made a.study of those ancientriver-beds, which are scientificallyknown as kames, and in the paperbefore us shows an intimate knowledge'of the topography of Maine. He tracesthe kames from their sources in thenarrow gorges of the hills, through longdistances, until they spread out in someinstances into gravelly plains. He givesa map of the kames of Maine showing,that the surfaoe of the State is striatedwith a surprising , number of theseridges which testify to the ioe-sheetwhioh Once covered eastern' -NorthAmerica. As the ioe melted rivers wereformed, flowing between walls of ioe andcarrying: in their waters a detritus whichin its gradual deposit formed these nowelevated river-beds. One of these kames,traced by - Prof. Stone, and called byhim the Portland system, began .withthe waters' of Lake Welokennebaoook,flowing through the narrow pass of theBlack Brook and on down the valley ofthe Ellis B,iver, through Bumford andWoodstock, to Bryant's Pond. Here itis known as the whalebaok, and is yarydistinctly marked. It continues onthrough Oxford, Poland, New-Glouces-ter, and Gray, reaching, with short in-terruptions, to Stevens's Plains, whereanother, gap' occurs, and it then re-appears in jgrayel bars1 on BramhalTshill and MuSjjoy's hill in Portland. Ithas an entire length of about 105 miles..Along this_cour8ei a great kame river'once floored, forming bars' here an" itsmouth in Portland. Prof. Stonedescribes thirty-one of these kamesystems in Maine, of varying length.They frequently cross low hills, show-ing that the tame rivers were not de-flected by hills less than 200 feet high.Flowing from north to south,- theircourses are not deflected east or west bythe hills, nearly so muoh as are thestreams of to-day. .There are frequentgaps, in them, but all lie along con-tinuous lines of valleys or: over levelground, and all are practicable linesfor railroads. In ;many Instances theycross the bed of lakes, sometimes formany miles, and can be traced underthe water. It is interesting to considerthat we have thus in our. State tworiver systems, the ancient and; themodern, that of the glacial period andthat of- to-day; the one leaving bedselevated abj^r,,the general surf ace, the

the work of erosionbelow the general level. The one woreaway the; great ieesheet, the other iswearing away the hills and bringing theearth's surfaoe to a uniform level.

Our Gold and Silver.

The annual report of the Direotor ofthef United States Mint for the fiscalyear ended June 30, 1881, has beensubmitted to the Secretary of the Treas-ury. .The gold and silver received andoperated upon by all the mints andassay offices, exceeding by more than850,000,000 the receipts of any previousyear, amounted to 8226,225,522.46, ofwhich $193,371,101.01 was gold? and$32,854,421.45 silver. This large in-crease was. due tola oontinued influx ofgold from abroad, over 850,000,000 de-posited being from that source alone.The gold coinage amounted to $78,733,-864,-. and the silver coinage to $27,649,-96f£". The base metal of minor. coinsamounted to $405,109.95. In additionto the coinage, the- mints and assayoffices manufactured fine, standard, ster-ling, and imported bars to the amountof $100,750,649.94 in gold and $6,542,-232.35 in silver.

The Direotor estimates the productionof the United States during the year tohave been $36,600,000 in gold and $42,-100|000 in silver, the silver being esti-mated at its coining value. From thereports of-manufacturers it is estimatedthat at least $11,000,000 in gold and$6,000,000 in silver were consumed inthe making of jeweby and other nrti-oleB. The speoie oiroulation in theUnited States'at the. end of the fiscalyear is estimated at $440,000,000 in goldand $171,500,000 in silver. On Novem-ber 1 the amount of speoie and bullionin-the mints and assay offldes; availablefor and awaiting coinage, was $563,-006)000 in gold and $186,000,000 insirVer. In view of the failure of theParis conference, the Direotor-says it isa Question for serious and early consid-eration whether, it is not desirable tosuspend,the further coinage of silverunfal, by international agreement, theunlimited coinage of silver and gold ata fixed ratio has been authorized oy theprincipal commercial nations of Europeand America. The United States, hesays, could not, single handed, sustainthe value of silver should the silver coinnow in circulation in Europe be demone-tised, The world's production of goldfor ihe calendar year 1880 is estimat-ed at $107,000,000, and of sfl^er at$87j500,000.

Frait in the House-Cellar,-Many who. would not keep: vegetables

in the oellar.of the house, make that astore-room.- for fruit without beingaware that fruit is really the most un-healthf ul. of the two. ' Winter varietiesof apples, when gathered, are veryhard; -if stored—in the oellar^lhey-sooner, 'or 'later, during the winter,according to the variety, beoome mel-low and ready to be eaten.. This changeis really the beginning of decay, andthe atmosphere is concerned in pro-ducing it. Not only does the • aireffect the fruit, but the fruit in turn-acts upon the air. Oxygen is takenfrom the air by the fruit, and carbonicadd is given oft". When fruit is stored,in a room that is perfectly air-tight, somuoh of the carbonic acid (a gas) givenoff accumulates that a candle, is at onceextinguished, and a man oannot breathe,in the room. : The, presence of oarbonieacid, as it indicates the absence of

:ygen, aids greatly in the preservationof the fruit. The poisonous propertiesof this gas are well known; • when it ismixed with the air in the proportion ofand part to four, such air is poisonousone will cause death; and a muohsmaller quantity will cause headacheand a sense of wearinessM.

While a lighted candle will serve as atest for its presence in dangerousquantities, a smaller and still unhealth-ful proportion can not be so readily de-tected? When the • cellar is used tostore fruit, says the American Agri-culturist for December, it is not prac-ticable to. prevent the oarbonio aoidfrom diffusing itself, through the roomsabove. It «is better to store the fruitelsewhere. A cellar under a grain-barnor other out-building, or a detachedceUar, should be provided for storingfruit where practicable, as it is betterboth for the family1 and the fruit.. Butthere are many, cases where the cellarof the house-is th,e only available placeand the fruit must be kept there, ornot at all. Those who are obliged todo this V should keep in mind the dan-ger, and provide against i t Fruit, asalreadytstated, will keep longer, if thecarbonic acid is allowed to. remain inthe- store-room, .but the-Welfare of theinmates, of the house-demand its re-

Tramps and Their Mark. -

On the doors of many uptown houses,says the New York Hour, may be foundoertain hieroglyphic marks in chalk.They are made by tramps and beggars,^bo take this mode of conveying to theirbiethren intelligence which serves themas" a guide .to their chances of sucoess..For instance, a circle means "no good—won't give anything;" a cross indicates'that, the inmates will give good food butnot money; an upright cross conveysthe information that the1 house is a good,one to call at; the figure 2 means thatthe people keep a dog; a cross within acirole, that the odoupant is out of town,

• and BO on. : The custom, is an Englishone, and in London especially; is muchresorted to. But it has its advantages,for it saves unnecessary trouble both tothe inmates and beggars, beoanse thelatter are not disposed to waste time ircalling at houses where the chances ofsuccess are slight.

WHAT HE WAS APBATD OF.—The NewYork Sour recalls the story of PeterDagger's death in that city. Mr. Gag-ger,. the well known Albany lawyer andpolitician,, was so timid -behind a horsetaat it was almost 'impossible to per-s»de him to enter an open vehicle suchas a phaeton or wagon. While in NewYork attending the Democratic NationalConvention in 1868, he wa3 induced-totake a drive with Mr. John B. Develin,although it required considerable per-suasion to secure Mr. Cagger's consent.Beturning home, Mr. Develin driving,as they, entered the park the light wagonwas upset, and Mr. Gagger's head com-ing in contact with a large stone, he wasinstantly killed. The fate he seemed todread, although he tempted it so little,overtook him at last.

Soon afterward hiswife had a congestive ohill and died.Salt tears and anguish of mind soonfinished the work, and the sight of oneeye was totally destroyed and the othersympathized. Dr. GLisholm, of Balti-more, was consulted; and by his advicethe Admiral took leave of his home andfriends here, after making his will andsettling all his business affairs, andwent to Baltimore, and was placed.inthe Eye and Ear. Infirmary for the re-moval of the cataract. The operationhas been performed, and at first it wagthought successfully; but inflammationhas set in, and there are grave appre-hensions in regard to the results. Notender, loving wife watches at his bed-side to be eyes and everything else tohim. Alone he passes through thelong, dark watches of the night. Gladlywould relatives and friends minister tohim, but the rules of the institution donot permit "nursing except by those inthe employ of the hospital. Of ooursethe Admiral's frienda call upon him,.' and are allowed to visit him.'wheneverhe is well enough to join them in con-versation. ^ ^ _ _ _ _ ^ _ _ _ ^ _ -

VBBY pleasant remembrances' camefrom Hon. James L. Morgan, after hisdeparture from- the Warren House, lastmonth. He seems to have muoh en-joyed the privileges of worship in thechurches of this place. From his homein New York came a paokage of books,to the. Methodist Church, which Bev.Mr. Mead found on opening to be 100oopies of the Psalms, in large print,handsomely bound and inscribed —aplentiful supply for all the pews. Also,to the Congregational Ohuroh, 100 copiesof their Hymn and Tune'Book, in ohoioebinding and lettering. : Mr. Morgan andwi*9?have made the Warren House theirsummer home during the last four years—coming early and staying later-havingfound, in all their searoh, no plaoe sohealthful and pleasant. By their manyacts of thoughtful kindness, and sim-ple, unobtrusive manner, they have wongolden opinions from all sorts of people.

IF THE hunters have any good luckthis winter, you may perhaps notice theodor of roast fox as you pass the houseof the honorable town treasurer, as heis to burn the ears of all foxes that ar^brought to him, after paying three dol-lars reward. The huntsman, to get thereward, must bring to the treasurer theskin and ears of the fox, and make oaththat the beast was alain within the boun-daries of the town. This law wie passedat the last town meeting. -

THB Watertown and Waterbury rait-road management has granted betteracoomodation in' the time of runningtrains during the last season thanformerly, and as this has also proved <pbe for the interest of the road, we mayhope for still better things hereafter.

HON. LBMAN W. CUTLEB,Town Olerk, has held that office thirtytwo years. He was Judge of Probatetwenty-four years, and Treasurer fourteen years. He has repeatedly repre-sented the town in tbe State Legisla-ture and in the Senate ; has been StateComptroller, and yet has never been auoffice-seeker. We propose his name fornext Governor, provided he will accept.

Some back-sliders have got again on to the rig^ttrack, and many professors have takqnia step forward in disoipleship. Suoh'-a'work oannot fail to be a benefit and ablessing to this community.

WffiL their story- ever, be 'written?" These homeB with, cheerful beautyorowned." The farms of Watertown..And the farmers of Watertown, of thepast and of the present. How interest-ing the story would be—historical,biographioal, aneodotal—how rich inincident; the dramatic, the comic andsometimes the tragio—theme. for thepoet, the painter, the novelist, as wellas the historian. What a mighty pro*duct a hundred years have seon gatheredfrom "these hills"—prodnot of crops-product of cattle—product of men.Men of brains, these lords of the s o i l -women of brains, these women of toil.The pencil of a Millet, the pen of aDickens is needed to fitly portray them.What merry times have been in "thesehomes "—what sharpness of wit, whatwisdom of discourse, what cheerylaughter, what sacred tears. All these,and muoh more, go to make up the un-written history of the farms and farmersof Watertown.

Watertown Public Library.- M. B. W. Hill, architect, of Water-

bury, is now engaged in sketchingplans for the new library building, tobe submitted to the committee for theirconsideration. The building • is to beerected next spring, on the site pur-chased, opposite the post ofiloe. Thelocation is sightly and central. Weneed not fear that the library will be anornament to the town, and with its con-tents, prove of prioeless value to itscitizens. For the information of dis-tant readers of THB POST, we state that

library fc the fcatgrowar of thefund so generbuBly donated by Dr.- JohnDeforest, who, like Peter Cooper, livesto witness the good fruits of his liber-ality. His brother, Benjamin Deforest,recently deceased, donated the fifteenthousand dollars for the ereotion of thebuilding.

Center School Distriot.The distriot is favored with excellent

teachers and a competent committee,consequently the sohools are flourishingand full. Too full in some departments,especially the primary, and there isneed of more room. /More room willdoubtleBB be provided, for should allother interests be neglected the eduoa-tiontd interest must not, cannot, shallnot, will not be. Merit Hemiuway, Jr.is oommitteeman; F. H. Fox i» princi-pal cf the academy; with thirty-ompupils; Miss Jenny Smith teaches theintermediate department, with forty-two; and Miss Edith Woodward theprimary, with sixty-three eoholars. Therooms are well furnished, well warmedand well ventilated,. and good progressis reported this season in all depart-ments. W. 8. Monger, M. D., Bev.James S.toddardand O. W. Bid well areacting school visitors. ' i.

There is no reason why Watertownshould not now step to the front rankin educational advantages. Manythoughtful oltizens desire graded sohools,with perhaps four departments, andthe present school building on Ourtisavenue enlarged suffloientlv to aooom-m&date all—the- senior department tobe of sufficiently high grade to fit stu-dents for college. The publio libraryand reading-room being a fixed foot, legraded sohools follow, with a commod-ious school, building, and Watertownwill become still more attractive tofamilies as a place of residenoe.

The Heminway Silk Factory.General Merit Heminway has been a

conspicuous man in this community formany years, and is stall hale and aotive.As merohant, postmaster, hotel keeper,judge of probate, farmer, andjmanufoo-turer, he has been noted for masterlyenterprise and success. When he coca-menoed- the manufacture of sewing silkin Watertown, it was in a small way,but the business rapidly increased untila large force of work peopjj) are employed, and the factory turns out animmense quantity of the very best sewing silk, whioh finds a market rapidly inall parts of the country, and a good doais sent abroad. It is the most promi-nent manufacturing industry of thetown at present, its employees- beingmostly females. -The business here andin New York is managed by the Hemin-way sons, the General having other inteiests to ocoupy his attention,

The Cemetery.During the last summer many visitors

nave expressed themselves greatlyleased with the attractive appearance

of the cemetery,'as well as with itspleasant looation. The evergreens andother trees and shrubs have attainedsuoh a growth that the.foliage has be-come a marked feature, and generallythe lots and borders are ,well kept; alsothe walks and driveways. A number ofnew monuments'and headstones, moreor less imposing, have been recentlyplaced, of whioh we would like to makemore special mention if we had tune.Although this is the "city of the dead"it is a cheerful and attractive spot, andmany love to linger along its paths. ItiB a sacred spot to very many families,because of the dead who slumber here,and when the flowers are strewn andthe tears are shed, and the bereaved goaway to abide their own tune, it is asatisfaction and sweet solace to recur inthought to the place: of burial as notsuffering .neglect, but growing more at-tractive every jrear.

.A DAXTiZ paper in these times is ahncstindispensable in our homes. Suoh adaily as the Waterbury American is agreat eduoator in a family. We all oughtto take it, even if we go without otherthings of less value.

Muoh cash and muoh brainsgoes into the make-up of a single day'sedition. The expenditure for'telegraphyalone is a heavy item. The editorialcorps is strong and able and independent.Its bright and fearless editorials, itsabundant local news, its literary con-tents and general news, combine tomake it popular and influential. Itseldom falls to the lot of a paper outsidepi the huge dties to make itself suoha reputation.

'Perhaps,some may say we ought to give the dark'.side of the picture also. Well, thaPosr feels no obligation to unoover iliaevil or trot out the. skeleton, if there beany.

have no fear of exaggeration. The half-has not been, told.. It has no superiorin all New England.

Warren's Decorations.', Mr. 0. A. Warren introduced themanufacture of metallic forms for deoo-rabons in 1878. They are of his owninvention, and are now in extensive useall over the country. They are ingeni-ously constructed of strip metal andspiral wire, and are so completelyadapted for the recaption of evergreensand -flowen, not only for wreaths andfestoons, but all sorts of emblematiodesigns, that they recommend them-selves on sight tp everybody. Consid-ering that these emblematio forms oanbe| used for years, with different stylesof filling every year if desired, they arenot coolly, crosses being suppliedfor five to thirty cents each', accordingtojstae.' The most elaborate design isthe font-oover for ohurohos, which sup-plies the ready means tpt striking andbeautiful decoration. Then there is theanchor, harp, oolumn, bell, monogram,globe, heart, siokle, cresoeat, swordand keys, crown, star, monument, pyra-mid, square and compass; lyre, triangle,trefoil, circle, shield, cornucopia, scales,*1 H 6," • and many' others. Mr.Warren reoeives orders for hundreds of

• feet of the patent flexible "body," or"foundation," for continuous festoonsand garlands, whloh oan ba joined to-gether readily by the purchasers inlengths to suit, and then filled with' theflowers or evergreens for general deaor-atdve purposes. Besides, being most

' tasteful, these curious inventions save a'world ol trouble to the ohuroh oommit-tee, the political committee, the anni-versary oommittee, the. family and thetidividual, having charge of decorations

Xerwln's Wool Mate.

The manufacture of wool mats forcarriages, sleighs, halls and parlors was

' .oommenoed in Watertown more thantwenty years ago by John Barlow. Thebeginning was very small, not over ahundred skins a year being used. In

, 18718. A. Merwin bought Mr. Barlow'si interest, and since that date the manufuture has inoreasei to thousands everyyes*.

i We have seen these nioe mats in mar-ket and in use, and have wondered howit/waa possible to transform a plainlamb skin into an artiole' EO handsome

! and luxurious. Going through Mr.Merwin's factory on Baldwin street, andnoting the various processes of tanningand Booming, dyeing, bleaching andflnfaning, .we got some idea of the ,skill

:; and labor required in the manufacture.,' • Not every Iamb has a jacket suitable for"• ,Mr»' fierwin's use.. They have to be. I selected with, judgment and manipu-

lated with great care, and when they1' K finally; come into the packing room,

: glorious in all their riohness of oolor, itwould be a wise sheep that could reoog-

, niae the fleece of its humble progeny.

, The'mats made here are very popular,and find their way into many' dwellings,especially throughout the New EnglandStates, and their fluffy softness and riohcoloring give an air of ease and elegancenot eolipsed Byf&gs more costly.' Someladies choose the snowy white fleece,which quite surpass that of Mary's littlelamb. Others prefer theprodudt of theblaok sheep, finished handsomely in itsnatural oolor. The dyeing requires skilland experience in this line, and "is Bomo-what costly. Among the new styles thepresent season, some in olive color arevery handsome.

OXHBB manufacturing interests thereare in the borders of Water town,, morethan we have time even to mention:Bobert's knife factory at the NorthEnd; Wheeler's shop for the manufac-ture of taokle-blooks, hand-mirrors andother notions; Smith & Son, hardwarein variety; Oapewell, manufacturer ofpowder flasks and shot pouches; andCharles Judd's new factory!.for cuttingshavings and making other notions.The last has not yet got in its machinery.

" PUBUSHBD OCCASIONALLY."—Whenwe shall issue another number- o£ THHPOST we do not promise. Friends tellus that a regular weekly paper ought tobe published' in Watertown, that manyplaces' of less donsequenoe have one ormore, that nothing helps the advance-ment of a town like a local newspaper,etc. Well, Mr. Dudley Warner saysevery man believes himself competentto edit a newspaper. He might haveadded, "alsosome women." Our ownexperience in journalism has satisfiedus that we oan not edit a newspapersatisfactorily to ourselves. To satisfyeverybody else, O yes,, how easy 1 It ispossible the readers of THH POST maylike it so well that they will have anappetite for more. At any rate i we be-lieve we have their good wishes. But agood subscription list at a dollar a yearis a different thing. With a fair sub-scription list it would be very pleasantto issue a weekly edition during theyear 1882. • / y : ' ""

Lira insurance, if intelligently taken,is the most common sense thing a mancan- enter into. Be not charmed by themere words of an agent, charm he everso glibly. Be sure you choose the bestcompany, then delay not to insurelargely as possible, either for life or anendowment It is the best use you canmake of the money. After two pay-ments there is no forfeiture.

Ton and L and everybody knows thatwhen a neighbor dies we experience athrillof comfort, in learuiaKJfchafca Jife.insuranoe policy makes provision forwife and children. Few men neglect toinsure—none ought to neglept it.

THXB should be careful about advis-ing thyneighbor not to insure his prop-erty, for it he take thy advise and there-by inoux the loss of his home, theewould hardly like to make him goodout of thy own pocket , :

The additions to policies now in foroeby reason of 'dividends amounts to thesum of twenty-five million dollars. Agood many polices that have run a longtime, (dividends not being used for re-duction of annual premiums) have morethan doubled at maturity. These divi-dends are derived from various sourcesot profit—chiefly (1) from the Higherrate of interest'realized, than the legalstandard assumes; (2) from the lowermortality than the table estimates, and(8) from the excess of estimated ex-penses over aotual expenses.

WATHBTOWN people held slaves a hun-dred and fifty years ago. If there hadbeen a local option then, and votershad been permitted to vote "slavery" or"no slavery," it is likely more than fortywould have voted in favor of slavery.Parson John Trumbull, the renownedpredecessor of Rev. Mr. Oonklin, of theCongregational Ohuroh, would surelyhave voted to retain slavery, for heowned the' "negro wench Lemmon,"the negro girl "Mabel" and the negrogirl "Peg," and bequeathed them bybis will to bjs heirs. How many ablebodied "boys" he owned, history doeBnot state. But the world does move.

He stated incidentally that hewas onoe looked up at the JeffersonMarket Jail and at the Tombs, in NewYork City. v

Guiteau was again upon, the witnessstand Wednesday, and. continued totestify in bis own defense. He repeatedhis now familiar claim that he -was in-spired of the Deity to murder the Pres-ident, and vehemently asserted that per-sonal considerations had no weight inleading him to the great crime of July2; He said that he felt, relieved of aburden and happy after he had firedUpon the President. He also stated that-for twenty years he had entertained theexpectation of being at some timeelected to be President of the UnitedStates, and had not given up that ex-pectation yet .The spectators laughedat this declaration. - The oross-examination ot the assassin was begun. -

' A. - Ne(petulantly):' I do' not- like the word"murder? v • • ..?.;-.:-; Mr. Porter—I know you- do not likethe word "murder;" it is a bard word;butltisthere. .. Guiteau—I do not recollect the actualfacts in that matter (excitedly). If "Ihad shot- the- President of the UnitedStates on iny own personal aooount nopunishment would be too severe or tooquick for me; but acting as the agentof the Deity, that puts an entirely dif-ferent construction on the. act; and'thatis what I want, to put to the Court andto the jury and to the opposing counsel.I say that the removal of the- Pres-ident was an act of neoessity from thesituation and for the good of the Amer-loan people. . That is the idea that Iwant you to entertain and not to settledown on the cold-blooded idea of mur-der, because I never had the first con-ception of murder in the matter.

Although excited, and at times vio-lent, in his manner, the prisoner-wit-ness, during his cross-examination, was.too alert to be easily entangled in thenets of the cross-examiner. He refusedto be frightened when Mr. Porter point-ed his finger at him and asked questionsin a dramatio style, and often he de-clined to be led upon ground that hadbeen gone over before. Through it allhe stuck to his text that it was the Deitywho inspired his aot '

When asked if he thought Mason andJones did wrong in shooting at him hereplied yes, unless they could show theyacted as agents of Deity. He becameangry whenever it was suggested that'he was guilty of murder, and* deolaredthat his shooting, of Garfleld was nomore: murder than the shooting of aman by a soldier in war. It was thedoctors who were guilty of murder..

He could not be driven from his posi-tion that he had no malice, and that' hisfailure to get the Paris Consulship hadnothing to do with the, assassination.In fact, he said, after the 1st of June,when he became fully possessed of hisinspiration, he would not have acceptedthe office if it had been tendered to him.He even appeared to be indignant at theway_in which Mr. Porter spoke of hisinspiration, which was a sacred subieot,not to be lightly treated. _

When pressed closely on the questionot malioe, he replied that, of course, hebad no malioe, for if he had had, Blainewas the man for him to have shot Heconfessed that hei was physically a cow-ard, but yet he was morally brave whenhe had the Deity at his back, and he ex-pected there would be an aot of God, ifnecessary, to proteot him from eithershooting or hanging. : . :

The cross-examination of Gqiteau byJudge Porter was continued and broughtto a conclusion Friday. The assassinspoke of himself .as a man of destiny.He described the "delightful and cosyfellowship" he witnessed between Presi-dent Garfleld and Secretary Blaine, andwhich, he said, intensified his convictionthat the President must be ••removed'in order to. avert the * evils of Mr.Blaine's influence over him. He ad-mitted having had some remorse for hiscrime, but quiokly qualified the admis-sion as he saw its bearing on his case.He was involved in some contradictions,but he adhered to his olaim of inspira-tion. He would not say that he wasinsane.

Our Exports of Breadstuffs;OMB INTBBESTINO AND, INSTBUOTIVB

STATISTICS.

In the November International Re-view, Mr. Riohard H. Edmonds bringstogether the figures showing the mar-velous growth in the breadstuff exportsof the United States in recent years.During the past six years we have sent

foreign countries more wheat than-,during the preceding half century, andwithin these six years our exports ofthat staple have nearly trebled. Weexported 65,000,000 bushels in 1876 andabout 150,000,000 during the year end-ing June 30, 1881. Of all the wheatand flour exported during the past six-ty-one years about thirty-eight percent, in value is the produot of the lastsix, and about twenty per cent, of theylast two years. Of wheat and flour re-duoed to wheat the exports have in-creased in quantity from 75,000,000bushels in 1874 to 185,000,000 bushels

1881, and in value from $93,000,000to $211,000,000.

Turning to Indian corn, we find thefigures not less striking. The quantity

f this staple sent abroad during thepast six years is greater than the quan-tity exported"! during the precedingfifty-five yeare, and the exports havebeen steadily., increasing,', except that:they, were less this year than last:''Excluding meal, which is no small item,we supplied foreign countries with49,000,000 bushels of corn in 1876;98,000,000 in 1880,' and 91,000,000 in1881, while the exports have risen invalue from $33,000,000 in 1876 to $53,-000,000 in 1880 and $50,000,000 in 1881.The total value of the breadstuff's,, in-cluding wheat, flour, corn and meal,whioh we sent abroad was $263,000,000:during the year ending June 80,1881,and $280,000,000 during the preceding
