M" 03 3tatjtttftit JL Vol. XVI. Astoria, Oregon, Wednesday Morning, January 25, 1882. Ho. 97. u 1 Pttiw SUPPOSE QUITBAXT TRIED IN FRANCE. The French way of conducting the trial of the murderer Guiteau may be stated with brevity: The Judge would have addressed him: "Ha, miscreant! You murdered our good President. Ho had done no wrong. His wife and children mourn; his country has lost him. Your life has been traced. You are a scoundrel. What can you say 9 Guiteau I was impelled by the Deity to remove the President. It was not a personal matter. Some of our politicians were abusing the President, and for the sake of peaco the Deity put it 'into my head to remove him. The Deity did it, not I, as I was but the in strument. Judge Miserable! Then you plead insanity. Take the wretch to prison; summon a commission of experts in diseases of the mind to make a personal examination of the culprit, and report to-morrow whether he is responsible "for his acts. The commission would have been found and the report made without more than one day's delay. The report would have been made that the miserable knew enough to know that murder was a crime; that his pretense of irresponsibility was the last resource of a desper ate wretch. The Judge would have called up the murderer on the second occasion of his appear ance in "the court, aud without wasting words without any fool ishness -or display of rhetoric or sentiment sentenced him to death. No time would hav6 been fixed for the execution. A few days perhaps would have passed, during which the condemned could have been visited by a scien- S tific man or two. to make sure that the wretch was not an irresponsi ble maniao, and for the formality of an application to be made for the mitigation of the sentence. The reply to such an application would have been a simple refusal, and the day after, or at furthest the third day, a huge black van would have appeared about two o'clock in the morning in front of the prison, and in about an hour the guillotine would have been in order and then the executioner would have knocked on the cell door of the murderer, with the in formation that his time had come and he must make his toilet of death. This means a close shave and hair-cuttinj; and a low-necked shirt. "While the preparations were being made the murderer might have been allowed to drink a cup of coffee, "with perhaps a few drops of brandy in it. Half an hour suffices for the ceremony -of pre paration. The service of a venera ble priest may be had. The iron gates roll open without noise, and the tjbastly assassin is thrust for- ward and under the knife as cooly and rapidly as a hog is handled in the killing season at one ot our pork houses, and in the twinkling of an eye the heavy triangle of steel glides down, the ladder-like frame, hisses through the ncckf and strikes a rubber cushion with a low thud. There is nothing in this process to cultivate the vanity of miscre ants to become murderers no au tographs, photographs, phono graphy, and no medals of head3 by bogus artistsv or big dinners, or double breakfasts, or correspond ence with female fools. Ex. A Successful Speech. A great change has come over ths lecturer. Formerly tho much talked about man like Horace Greeley came and bored an audi ence. Now the modern lecturer comes to entertain an audience. The clergyman talks thirty min utes. The successful lecturer will talk four times thirty minutes and holds his audience like a five-act drama. He will instruct his audi ence too. The first purpose of even a humorous speecli is to per suade men. A great speech or lecture will be talked about for weeks. If a speech is brilliant and eloquent, so much so that men will say of it '-that is oratory"' and n-o about their business, such a speech has not struck the heart. When men act as if they had not heard a word of a speech, it is a failure, even if it is thought worthy of a place among "specimens of eloquence." "A great speech," said O'Cou nell, speaking of addresses to a jury, "is a very fine thing; but after all, the verdict is the thing." Prof. Mathews, from whose book on "Oratory and Orators" wo quote O'Connell's remark, insists that no one would discover the perfect orator, if such -there could be, while lie was speaking. He tells two anecdotes to illustrate his as sertiens: When Chief Justice Parsons, of Massachusetts, was practicing at the bar, a fanner, who had often heard him speak, was asked what sort of a pleader he was. "Oli, he is a good lawyer and an excellent counsellor, but a poor pleader," was the reply. "But does he not win most of his causes?" "Yes, but that's because lie knows the law, and can argue well, but he's no orator' A hard beaded bank president once congratulated himsejf, in the presence of Mr. Mathews, on re sisting, as a foreman of a jury, the oratorial blandishments of Mr. Choatc. "Knowing his skill," said the hard-headed man, "in making while appear black, and black white, I made up my mind at the .outset that ho should not fool mo. He tried all his arts, but it was of no use; I just decided according to the law and evidence." "Of course," answered Mr. Ma thews, "you gave your verdict against Mr. Choate's client?" "Why, no; we gave a verdict for his client; but then we couldn't help it; he had the law and the evidence on his side. It never occurred to the bank president or to the farmer that Choate and Parsons were after verdicts, not admiration. And they got them, because they sunk the orator into the advocate. "Thou madest people say, 'How well he speaks!'" said Demosthe-i nes to Cicero, in Fenelon's "Dia logues of the Dead," "but I made them say, 'Let us march against Philip!'" This was true, but it required many passionate appeals from this prince of orators before tho Athen ians uttered that cry. A Type of the Tramp. A dirty, shabby, worn-out old man came into our office the other day and wanted to know if wo could help him on his way to a distant city. His tone was gentle, the expresson of his face seemed to indicate that ho expected nBth ing but a rebuff, but nevertheless, he would ask. We asked him to givo us a glimpse of his life, to tell us why he had been a failure, and why at last wo was wandering about as a common tramp. It was the same old story, a boy with plenty of friends and plenty of money; a boy who disregarded tho wishes of a father and the prayers of a mother; a young man who knew more than friends who had fought many of the battles of life; a young man who laughed at the counsels and advice of those he pleaspd to term old fogies. A youth who wanted to enjoy life and indulge in all the so-called pleasures of the world; a youth to whom women were as fascinating as they proved false; a man un fitted for reverses when they came; a man made weak by the follies of youth; a man deserted by men and without hope in God; a man despairing, hopeless, penniless with no knowledge of business, no desire for work, no ambition to overcome tho obstacles in his path way and no hope for the-future, his only aim, his whole object, being to keep from starving and to get enough money to buy the accursed drink, which was fast be coming the only thought, the only object of his existance. For him life might have been a success, ambition might have been gratified, home, friends, wealth, happiness, all might have been retained had he not listened to false advisers and followed a course that the lower passions dictated. Exchange. The Benefits of the Protective Tariff. This is the way a writer puts the benefits to the poor man from the protective tariff system: "If the poor man wears a woal en suit of clothes he must pay fifty-five cents a pound and thirty five per cent, on the value; sixty por cent, on the silk lining, or if alpaca, fifty cents a pound and thirty five per cent, on the value. Even the worsted braid is taxed fifty cents a pound and thirty per cent on the value; and if he indulges in a velvet collar and wadding, it is only sixty and fifty cents a pound respectively, with the thirty per cent, on the value. If he wears rubber suspenders it is only thirty-five per cent.; if he wears a cotton shirt it is thirty five per cent, on the linen bosom made with a twenty-five per cent, taxed needle, and sewed with thirty-five per cent, taxed thread. If this poor fellow wears a French calf boot on Sunday ho pays thirty pef cent-tax for the tops and thirty-five per cent, for the soles, and thirty five per cent, on his rubber shoes. If he indulges in a silk handkerchief it is sixty per cent. more, and thirty-five cents for his linen collar, starched with thirty per cent taxed starch, and pinned, perchanoe, with a thirty-five per cent, taxed pin. Should the man of moderate means feel able to keep a horse and carriage, he must shoe his horse with forty per cent, taxed shoes, driven on with a fifty- four per cent, taxed hammer, and harnessed with an eighty-five per cent, taxed harness, trimmed with thirty cents per pound taxed nickel plato. Then he must ride in a thirty-five per cent, taxed carriage, ironed with taxed iron, trluod with twenty per cent, taxed glue, and put together with eight cents per pound taxed screws. His home, whether he owns it or not, must be carpeted with a forty -per cent, taxed carpet, and his table must be set with forty per cent, taxed plates, thirty-five per cent, knives aud forks; his victuals sweetened with seventy per cent, taxed sugar; salted with one hun dred per cent taxed salt; peppered with two hundred and ninety eight per cent, taxed pepper; Bpiced with three hundred and eight por cent, taxed spices; his rice puddings with twenty-five per cent, taxed rice, and twenty five pur cent taxed raisins. If thirsty he drinks out of a thirty five per cent, taxed glass, and eats his bread raised with twenty per cent, soda; and after eating his well-taxed repast, perhaps ho lights his one hundred and twentv per cent, taxed cigar with a seven ty per cent, taxed match, and then reclines back in his- easy chair."

Peraviau Blttarg. Cinchona ibn The Count Cinchon was the Spanish Viceroy in Poru In 1630. The Countess, his wife, was prostrated by an Intermit tent tcver. irom wmen sne was ireea Dy the. use of the native remedy, the Peru ianbark, or. as it vas called in the language of the country, 'Quinquina." Grateful for her recovery, on her return to Europo In 1633, she introduced tho remedy In Spain, where it was known under various names, until Linnams called it Cinchona, in honor of. the ladv who had brought them that which was more precious than the cold of thelneas. To this day. after a lapse of two hun dred and fifty years, science has git en us nothing to take Its place. It cifectu ally cures a morbid uppetlto for stimu lants, by restoring tire natural-tone of the stomach. It attacks excessive lore of liquor as it does a fever, and destroys both alike. The powerful tonic virtue of the Cinchona Js preserved In the Peru Ian Bitters, which are as effective against malarial fever to-day as they wero in the days of the old Spanish Viceroys. We guarantee tho Ingredi ents of these bitters to be absolutely pure, and of the best known quality. Atrial will satisfy jou that this Is tho best bitter In the world. "The proof of the pudding is In tho eating," and we willingly abide this test. For sale by all druggist', grocers and liquor dealers. Order It.
