The stout Karl ot Northiunherlaml
A vow to Ooil ditl make,
His pleasure in tile Seottish wood
Three summer's days to take.
The uhiefest liarts in Chevy Chase
To kill and hear away.
These tidings to Karl Douglass I'il me,
lit Sent land where he lay.
Who sent Karl lYreyJnreseiit word,
lie would pri vent his sport,
'fhe Kiij;lish Earl not tearing that,
i)id to the woods resort.
With ti/teen lmndred how-men hold,
All chosen men of mi^lit,
Who knew lull well in time of need
To aim their shafts aright.
The gallant urevhoiinds swiftly ran
To chase the fallen deer.
On Jloinlay they hegan to hunt
Kre day light did appear.
And Ion;; liefore high noon they hail
A hundred fat bucks slain ;
Then having dined, the drovers went
To rouse the deer again.
Lord Percy to the quarry went
To view the slaughtered ileer.
Quoth tie, "Karl Douglass promised
This day to meet me here.
"lint if I thought lie would not come,
No longer would I stay."
With that a lirave young gentleman
Thus to the Karl did sav:
'•I.o! yonder ilotli Karl Douglass come,
His men in armor bright,
Full twenty hundred Scottish spoars
Are marching in our sight."
Karl Douglass on his milk-white steed,
Most, like a Baron bold,
Rode foremost of his company ;
His armor shone liko gohl.
"Show me," said he, "whoso men ye lie
That hunt so boldly here;
That without my consent, do eliase
And kill my fallow deer."
The first man that did answer tuake
Wis noble Karl Percy,
Who saiil, "We list not to declare,
Nor show whose men we lie."
"Yet we will spend our dearest blooil
Thy chiefest harts to slay."
Then Douglass swore a solemn oath,
And tints in rage did sjy :
"Kre thus I will out-braved be,
One of us two shall die,
I know thee well, an Karl thou art;
Lord Percy—so am I.
"Let thou and 1 the battle try,
And set our men aside."
"Accurst be he," Karl Percy said,
"By whom this is denied."
And then these two stout earls did meet,
Like captains of great might,
Like lions bold they laid on good
And made a cruel light.
"Yield thee. Lord Percy," Douglass said,
"In faith I will thee bring,
Where thou shalt high advanced be
By fame, our Scottish KingJ"
"No, Douglass," quoth Karl Percy then,
"Thy proffer I do scorn ;
I will not yield to any Scot
That ever yet was born."
With that there eaniii an arrow keen,
Out of an Knglisli bow,
Which struck Karl Douglass to the heart,
A deep anil deadly blow.
Then Karl Percy took
The dead man by the hand,
And said, "Karl Douglass, for thy life
Would I had lost my land."

Washington, Dec. —Guiteau came
into the court room this morning looking
paler than usual. lie complained that
he had not sU-p: well. Last evening si
man was placed in a cell near his, who
was suffering from the most violent type
of mania, caused by the excessive use of
morphia,and during the night his shrieks
rang through the jail. llintcati was an-
noyed, and asked what was the occasion
lor such a riot. The keeper replied:
"We've got a ciazy man on our hands to-
night." "Well,'' stiid Guiteau, "why
don't you choke him and make him keep
quiet, and not let respectable people l e
disturbed iu this way by a miserable lu-
natic."
])r. McDonald again took the stand
this morning and was cross examined by
Scovilie. Questions were directed mainly
to the subject ot temporary insanity, s.ntl
the witness was asked if in his practice
he had not met an instance of temporary
insanity. lie replied, "yes sir, I know of
a man who was insane for twenty tour
hours."
Scovilie (eagerly)—And then he got
well V
"No sir, lie died." [Laughter at Sco
ville's expense.]
The witness was asked what lie meant
yesterday by saying, *'L think he (prison-
er) has been playing a part in court,"
and replied, "1 believe he has been feign-
ing what he believed to be insanity ; not
really insanity. I believe lie litis been at-
tempting to give the impression in court
that he is insane, and with that idea litis
been acting :i part-''
Scovilie soon became involved in a dis-
cussion with the counsel on the pet tinence
of si question, when Guiteau shouted,
"You had better let liitn go ; you are mak-
ing altogether too much ol htm. Jf you
have not got sense enough to see it, I
will have to tell you.',
Allusion was made to the ax incident,
when Guiteau commented contemptuous-
ly "Oh, iiotisence, that ax story is the
merest fiction. it is all rubbish and
shortly aiterwards : ;'J)oetor, just fell its
something about Abraham, and we will
let you g<>.'
I)r. .Iniiii II. C'alleniler, of XaslivHie.
snpeiinleudeni of the 'i'etnii s-ce
Asylum lor the Insane, had <:5veit speehil
attention ;o studying insanity for 'he
past twelve years; had seen auotil IT,!>'5
cases daring his connection with tin- 'ji-n-
uessee asylum ; witness visited the j>iis-
oner in jail, and also closely observed the
prisoner iu court, and believed him per-
fectly sane.
Witness was asked if he ivas not dis-
charged tor granting a faise cerrilieate of
health to Win. M. Tweed, when the lat-
ter was in confinement in the penitentiary
and replied, "i never gave to Tweed a cer
filicide ot health or ill health, and i was
never discharged from any position in my
life.'
llandolpli Iiarksdale, superintendent ot
the Central lunatic asylum, near iiicli-
inond, Va.,visited the prisoner at the jail,
and had, also, closely observed him in
court, and from his personal examination
and observation, was of the opinion that
he was sane. Witness also testified that
he believed, taking as true the facts set
forth ill the hypothetical questions of the
prosecution, tirat the prisoner was sane
when he shot the President.
Witness did not believe the Deity ever
inspired a man to-take the life of si telltxv
creature, and. that if a person labored tin-
tier the iiistuie delusion that he was in-
spired to kill the President ot the United
States, he would, even it he did not talk
about, it, disclose his purpose by his
changed manner and conversation.
The witness not having heard the hy-
pothetical questions they were read to
him by Uorkhill.
Guiteau prefaced the reading by say-
ing, "Your whole question is full ot false-
hoods iitiil mistatenients. i make'this as-
sertion now at the outset to it void inter-1
rupfions as you go along?'
Witness believed, taking the facts set.
forth to be true, that the prisoner was un j
doubtetily sane.
Guiteau again commented, "Two thirds
ot that stuff is till bosh."
Scovilie noted exceptions to both ques-
tions and answers.
Upon the cross examination Scovilie
took up the hypothetical question, clause
by clause, and questioned the witness

proposition that might le deemed neces-
sary. Xo one had suiicred more than he
iiaii trom the prisoner s behavior.
Guiteau (ititeigtoting)—Well, it's be-
cause you are a jackass on this case. If I
had it* decent eoiui-el 1 shouldn't have
any occasion lor reiuaiks. You are doing
well eiinug'.t oil your theory, but your
theorv is siltogetlier too narrow. You
haven't got the brain for this ease.
Col. lieed denied the assumption that
the prisoner's sanity had been establish*
ed. Xo human knowledge, could fathom
the workings of an insane mind, and hu-
manity would dictate, ii reasonable doubt
should exist, that leniency be extended
toward him. ile thought ail admonition
from the court would suffice.
Corkhill insisted upon the removal of
the prisoner to the dock and removal
from me care of the special policemen who
were not regular attaches of the court;
that he should be kept in dock with no
other special protection than is accorded
any other prisoner.
Guiteau, trembling with anger or ap-
prehension, shouted out,: "You want to
shoot me, do yet1., Corkhill 1 You can not
convict me. so you want to get me' shot.
You might as well hang me up outside
and tell the mob to shoot, at me. 1 tell
you, (raising his voice almost to it shriek)
God Almighty would curse -you, sir, if 1
was put in that dock an I shot. You mis-
erable wretch!"
Scovilie. with much leeling, protested
against the proposition of the district at-
torney, which could not l e. understood by
any one as other than an invitation to all
who heard it to shoot tne prisoner if op-
portunity offered.
•Judge Porter, following Scovilie, said:
"The assassin of the President will assas-
sinate no more forever, and the voice
which is not silenced now will be as dumb
as that of his victim when the end ot the
law is reached [Appiause.J No man,

cide still further clemency. ilat it it be
extended it will beat some peril; peril to
American jurisprudiffice, peril in respect
ot an indefinite continuation of the trial
which, without the interposition of the
prisoner, would have terminated three
weeks ago. The lime has now come when
the law must make its appearance iu tins
courtroom, and when the man who pre-
tends to be it maniac shall no longer sit
at the counsels' table and exercise privj.
leges which you would accord no member
of the American bar.''
The prisoner—Avery nice speech, but
not it word of truth in it.
The court then rendered its decision :
ft was hardly neces.-ary to say that the
conduct oi the prisoner had been in per-
sistent violation of order stud decorum.
In the beginning the only methods which
could have been resorted to to suppress
this-'disorder, were such as in list, infringe
upon the constitutional rights of the pris-
oner, and that was conclusive argenient
against tlieni Until Saturday hist no
other method had been proposed. Then
this proposition (which he already had in
luiiul) wits submitted. It had hitherto
been the impression shared by the court j
and counsel, that, the prisoner's conduct |
and language in the court would afford j
Ilie best indication ol his mental si mi mo-
ral character, and contribute largely to
tin. enlightenment ol the court and jury
on t'." quest ion of his responsibility. It
was therefore on the express desire of the
district attorney that, the court had allow-
ed such it latitude ol conduct, in order to
furnish experts an opportunity of diag-
nosing iho prisoner's case. As it now up
peared, the. opinions ot the experts have

Almighty will curse the prosecution. Take

The district attorney, in reply to Sco
ville's speech, stated that lie had been al-
ways opposed to having any extra guards
around the. prisoner. lie believed 111 al
lowing him to stand his trial like any oth-
er man, and no violence would come to
him any more than to a criminal charged
with a smaller offense, lie did not wish
any special protection around the pris
oner, nor did he think it necessary. It
was tin indication that he. was in danger,
lie (Corkhill) never thought he was in
danger.
Scovilie (sneeringly)—You must, think
eveiybody is going to miss like Hill .Jones.
The prisoner here broke in with si 11 ex-
pression ot satisfaction with his present
position, and thanking his honor for mov-
ing hi.11 there.
The cross examination was then re-
sinned and Porter's objection to Sco ville's
question, assuming that Guiteau consider-
ed himself the brother of Jesus Christ, 011
the ground ot its being of an irreverent
and blasphemous character, was over-
ruled by the court.
Porter (solemnly)—As this case will be
historical and our exceptions are utterly
unavailing, and its we can in no ease un-
der the law appeal in behalf ot the Ameri-
can government and those they represent
I protest against this decision passing in-
to it precedent.
Prisoner—.Sit down Pol ler and rest lor
flu- afternoon.
Heed—There's evidence to sustain Mr.
Scovilie'b question, produced by Judge
i'ortor. In it letter which Judge Porter
himself read to the jury, written by the
prisoner in LSoo, and addressed to the
Oneida Community, the prisoner made a
claim t hid, he was iu tlie employ ot Jesus
Christ & Co.
Porter—Neither introduced nor read by
tne.
Witness then replied that he should
not consider it an insane delusion for a
man to profess himself as "it member of
the linn of Jesus Christ & Co.," unless
there were other evidences of the disease.
A plaster cast ot the prisoner's head
was then handed witness stud he was sisk-
eil whether there was any marked pecu-
liarity in the head.
Prisoner—It looks like Ilumpty
Dumpty.
Witness replied that the cast present-
ed a more shapely and symmetrical head
than he had expected it would,but placed
no importance on the shape of the head
as indicating sanity or insanity.
On re-direct examination, the witness
stated that he didn't think the prisoner
had been feigning insanity iu the court
room ; he had merely been exaggerating
his characteristics of sell conceit, impu-
dence and insolence.
The prisoner—In other woids, when
1 am assaulted 1 talk back. Porter ex-
pects to get £50.000 for hanging inc. He
sees his money slipping away because the
American people do nut want niekanged,
and lie is mad at me.
The court then adjourned. The pris-
oner, as lie was passing his Couiiscel, ex-
pressed Irs content with liis position iu
'or.i. as affording • pure 'air.
momi.k, December -8.—The particu-
lars have reached here of a horrible trag-
edy near Sibley's mill, Mobile.
Joel Johnson, a well-know 0 '.u;.eii of the
ncighboihood, was riding along the nub.
I am doing | of what they would cost free of duty.
Hence, in buying a blanket nearly half
the amount we pay for it is tax. In oth-
er words we pay eaeli year 610,752,088
for blankets, and 89,247,312 to the inan-
ulacturers as tstx, which we would not
have to pay were there 110 duty.
Of this amount of taxes the govern-
ment in 1S7!) got $1233, that being the
amount of duty collected on imported
blankets.
Again in tiie matter of cotton fabrics.
The home production of cotton fabrics
for 1871) is put down by a good statisti-
cian at 6350,000,000. The average duty
011 the importation of this class of goods
is .'.So per cent. Tax psiid by consumers
of cotton goods, 6133,000,000.
Allowing that competition reduce this
one-third we still find that the American
people pay to the manufacturers $87,500,-
000.
The Government gets a revenue of
$0,577,002 on cotton goods imported.
Thus it goes all the way through.
From the same source from which the
above figures come we learn that the
people pay to the manufacturers of wool-
len goods every year, $124,520,000.
The Government gets $10,808,.'•'GO as
tariff'011 this class of goods, which the
consumers also psiy. ,
Oti pig iron we pay the Pennsylvania

It is the farmer and laboring man.
Every person who buys a plow or harrow,

son who buys it yard of calico or muslin,
a coat or hat; every mail who sells a
bushel of grain or sends a drove of hogs
to market, pays a part ot it in the in-
creased rate of freight he is compelled to
pay, on account of the double price of
steel rails used in the railroads. Every
woikingman who spends $100 a year for

Why It Pays to Advertise.

"You have a great rush,'' remarked

Old Wheels.
Some old wooden wheels were discover-
ed some years ago in the mines of Portu-
gal. supposed to have been once used by
the Romans for hydraulic purposes. The
wheels were eight in number, the spokes
and felloes ol pine, and the axle sind its
suppoit of oak. They are supposed to
exceed 1,150 years of age, yet the wood
was 111 a perfect, state of preservation,
having been thoroughly immersed ill wa-
ter charged with the salts of copper and
iron. A similar instsuiee occurred iu
San Domingo, where an old wooden
wheel was discovered 111 si disused copper
mine. Ilow long it had been there is un-
certain, but it was completely preserved,
owing to its having absorbed considera-
ble quantities of iron and copper. The
preserving qualities of these minerals for
the impregnation of wood is well illustra*
ted in the mines of llallien, in Austria,
the timber used being the same which
was originally introduced anterior to the
Christian era, and which is even now ill
a perfect condition.
Mr. llainlin Holmes came up troni the
Joe Cram neighborhood on I Jed lliver
yesterday morning siud reported a foul
murder. The facts are as follows: Ouo
M. C. MePherson, a week or two ago,
started it whisky boat on the river, hop-
ing to escape the laws of Texas and of
the Nation. Ou Tuesday night about
ten o'clock three strangers went011 board
waked MePherson nit and asked if ho
could change si $50 bill, lie ssiid I10
could. They then called for cigars, and
as he turned to get tliem one of the men
knocked liiin down and another floored a
negro who was employed on the boat.
The negro scrambled up, jumped over-
board and swam out, several shots being
fired at him in the darkness. Ile went
up to the house of Mr. Joel Crain, who
gathered a crowd and went down to the
boal, where they found MePherson dead,
his head having been beaten almost into
it jelly. As ;tll the money (about $200)
Mcl'herson had was gone, the object ot
the murder was evidently robbery. A
writ had been issued for the arrest of Me. •
Pherson by the United States Commis-
sioner of this place lor violation ot the

day, but his untimely death will prevent

quarter.—| Paris Tribune.

rival the occupants were startled by the
report of a pistol in the room occupied by
the young couple, and on rushing tothe

J.ivge Porter—That is my business here
to -ty, and, your I101101. 1 must now iu-
stot- upon my motion of Saturday that the
prisoner be removed to the dock.
Scovilie arose to speak, when Judge
L'ox said ; "Let me know lust if tlie coun-
sel desires to be heard upon the motion
tt; remove the prisoner to the dock.''
Judge Davidgc then proceeded to speak
to the motion. He believed the time had
come when everyone pu-sent was satis-
lied that t ie prisoner w is perfectly sane
iu respect to Ins behavior, and amenable
to the same rule Us other prisoners, in
the case when Gen. Sickles was tried if(
this court tor murder tin- judge refused
to deviate from the rule, although he was
ii distinguished lawyer and member of
Congress at the time, and he .-at in the
prisoner's dock during his trial.
Scovilie saitl he would assent to ;inv
a prisoner w hen ou trial for felony was in
11 lie dock/ He. could only come w ithin the
bar to be arraigned ami to receive sen
• ieiice. If the court granted him the pri-
vilege of sitting beside his counsel it was
'it privilege which could be withdrawn
j summarily. While the prisoner has the
, undoubted right to act as his own coun-
sel, he could not exercise both rights
simultaneously. Having accepted coun-
sel the prisoner waived his right to ap
pear as such in person. On the conside-
ration ot all the circumstances the court
thought the motion would have to be
granted, and that the prisoner should be
placed in the dock. Rut he did not mean
that tlje prisoner shotiid lie exposed to
any danger, lie should have the fullest
protect ion.
Prisoner (speaking quietly, and as
though lie dreaded being placed iu tne
dock, which was tilk'd with spectators—
To settle the matter 1 will sit-quietly here.
