Guiteau Triul.
Was resumed Monday morning,
Dec. oth, and a uumber of witnesses
examined, several of whom were
physicians, whose testimony based
upon tho truthfulness of the evi
dence they had listened to, the pris
oner, iu their opinion was insane.
Scoville, counsel for the prisoner,
announced that he had no more wit
nesses present, and would introduce
but two or threo more before clos
ing the case. Mr. Scoville read from
the prisoner's book "Truth," until
the hour of adjournment.
The character of tho testimony on
tho part of the prisoner on the 6th,
was about tho same as on the 5th,
developing no now facts.
Tho evidcuco on tho part of the
prosecution was rosumed, which all
run in tho same channel, that the
Guiteau family while they resided
at Freeport, Illinois, wore consid
ered sane; one witness testifying
that old Mr. Guiteau had as good a
head aa any man in the state, and
was considered tho third smartest
man in the county.
Tho prisoner quickly asked "who
was tho first?"
" A Mr. Sweet."
"Who was tho second?"
" A Mr. Turner."
Tho prisoner remarked, these men
have been dead a long time and
fathor is still ahoud.
During tho sittings of tho court
siuco Monday, and throughout tho
examination Thursday, tho prisoner
was boisterous and almost constant
ly interrupted tho proceedings.
By the testimony of Thursday, the
fact that tho father of tho prisoner
was not insano was vory fully estab
lished, and one witness, Mrs. Julia
M. Wilson, of Lead vi lie, Colorado,
who is a relative of the family, tes
tified in regard to various members
of tho family, and stated positively
she uevor saw indications of insanity
in any of them.
Other testimony showed tho pris
oner had beea in some part of his
history a vory immoral man, but the
court ruled it out.
Tho tostlraony Friday was very
conclusive that tbo prisoner was not
now, and novor had beon insauo, and
noither was hia father.
McLoan Shaw testified that Guit
eau told him ho was bound to have
notoriety somo way or other. He
might kill somo big man aud imitate
Wilkes Booth. Witness said get
banged for it. Prisoner replied that
would bn an after consideration, and
he would gat notoriety anyhow.
During tho examination of wit
nesses to-day the prisoner became
yary much excitod and very insult
ingly abused the witnesses. It is
very ovidont to a distant observer
that hit intellect quickly grasps evi
denco that tends to make him re
sponsible for hia great crime.
Tho above notes were prepared
for last week's Journal, but were
crowded out oa account of other
matter.
Monday the 12th was consumed in
examining Dr. Spitzka, an expert
from Now York, and his cross ex
amination was not concluded when
tho court adjourned. This witness
in bis examination in chief stated
that the prisoner was a moral imbe
cile, or rather a moral monstrosity.
I deem him as insano as any inmate
of any asylum I ever saw. He camo
to this opinion from the expression
of the prisoner's face. This witness
was subjected to a very critical and
severe cross examination to find ont
all the reasons for this opinion.
Among others, he stated that tho
abnormal shape of Gniteau, the wit
ness thought, and cortaia othor
physical evidences, snch as his do
fect in speech, should convince him
that Gultean was insane. If ho had
only the mean face he baa I should
say ho had a depraved mind or was
a moral monstrosity. Besides, Gui
teau has a lop-sided smile and that
it is an effect of congenital insanity.
His tonguo also goea to tho left side
when he puts it ont, and that's an
other evidonco of unsound mind.
On the morning of the 13th tho
cross examination of Dr. Spitzka
was resumed in which be stated that
conclusive evidence of the prisoner's
insanity was tbo appearance of his
eyes. Witness refused to answor
this question, "Do you believo in
God?" Six other witnesses were
examined, all tending to show the
soundness of tho prisoner's mind.
Henry Wood of Philadelphia, testi
fied he never saw any indication of
unsoundness of mind in the prisoner.
Ho appeared to possess ordinary in
telligence, but was wanting in prin
ciple.
Court convened on the 14th, and
the court room was crowded, as it
was expected that the divorced wife
of Guiteau would givo hor testi
mony. Rev. John L. Withrow, of
Boston, was Iho only witness exam
ined. Ho regarded the prisoner as
a shrewd, or rather a cute man.
Owing to the illnosB of ono of the
jurors, court adjourned.
Mrs.Dunsraore,Guiteau'8 divorced
wife, was in the marshall's office all
the morning, awaiting her turn to
testify. When the court convened
on the 15th the prisoner commenced
at once to delay tho proceedings, by
making a speech to the court in favor
of exercising great caro for the
health of the jury, &c.
Six or seven witnesses wero ex
amined, whose testimony went to
establish the fact that the prisoner
was not only sane, but intelligent
and smart.
Gen. J. L. Reynolds, a lawyer of
Chicago, visited tho prisoner in jail
whon Guiteau asked him "where he
was on the day of assassination;"
Assassination is tho precise word he
used, aud used it two or three differ
ent times on that visit. 1 made a
note of the conversation at tho time
and was permitted to read it. At a
second visit the prisoner banded the
witness an address which ho had
written to the Amorican people,
which has been published, in which
the word inspiration occurs, and that
was on the 19th day of July, and the
first time tho prisoner used tho word.
Mrs. Dunsmore, the divorced wife
of the prisoner, was put on the stand,
somo objection was made to her
testifying on account of the record
of divorce and she stood asido.
American SchooIn.
It is a well-known fact that there
is a great deal about the manner in
which a certain class of grad-grind
teachers and superintendents con
duct their school work that is very
reprehensible, in that tho system is
calculated to keep bright pupils in a
line with dull ones ; sacrifice the very
bloom of genius, individual charac
teristics, to the insatiable greed of
the Molock, "Grade," and run all the
wheels and engines of tho cars of
intellectual progress in the dull and
dreary ruts of listless routine. The
ne plus xdlra of such a system is
very fitly represented by a grave
yard, where the dead are "cribbed,
cabined and confined," and tho mar
bio slabs above, point always one
way, and tho chiseled verses give
the solf-samo answer to tho living
inquirers who pa?s down the aisles.
It is upon this model that tho grad
grind of our schools builds his theo
ries. Tho "order" is most admirable
and complete ; the grades are fow
and distinct; tho percentages are
exceedingly accurate, and tho re
ports as perfect as could bo expected.
What a difference between this
and tho school presided over by a
scholar aud a man with a soul, in
unison with his pupils, all wide
awake aud earnest, thoroughly rous
ed to tho importance of the work ot
the day, aud tho bearing it may have
on tno futuro before them I No
grave-yard this, but a busy gymna
sium of thought, whero the eyes
sparkle and snap with intellectual
firo, aud the voices aro full of the
cheer of those who are goiug onward
and upward. The dead book is not
the god here, and does not supercede
the fuuetions of tho living teacher;
"grade" has its plnce, but is not
allowed to smother tho individual
gonius ; in short, everything is made
to subserve tho useful purposes of
life.

Ed. Journal: As your readers
a e always eager to know concern
ing tho material developments of
the state, I write a few words.
Mr. Goer of Columbus handed me
somo stone from the quarry on the
Cedar river, and requested me to
make certain experiments with it.
I ground it to a powder, added to
ths powder hair, sand and water,
and in a very few moments I had a
perfect bed of mortar. I took my
trowel aud spread it immediately
onto a rack of lath, and found I had
a most perfect cement wall of plaf
tering. .This stone powder or ce
ment will take the place of limo iu
laying up brick or stone walls, for
plasteriug houses or stores inside,
and will make a perfect cement for
constructiugcoucrete buildings. The
most perfect hard finish in white
can be produced Dy tho use of this
cement.
If there is the quantity claimed,
this stone will work a wonderful
revolution in building material in
Nebraska. It is a fino building
stone also. Let others try it. It
can be by sending the order to your
office. Chas. U. Young.

Tho Chicago Inter-Ocean occa
sionally makes somopretty strong
points. Somo of these will be rec
ognized in tho last two paragraphs
of tho following:
American educators must wake up
to tho fact that tbero is uu industrial
knowledge of any commercial value
in either tho classical, or the abstract
mathematical, or tho purely literary
course. Tho practical business men
of America heartily despise them,
not merely as useless, but as perni
cious ; not merely as a waste of time
and force, but as teuding to direct
yonng men away from agriculture,
transportation, manufactures, and
trade, in which tho great fortunes
are made, and in which the future
prosperity of the country lies, into
the parasitic professions of theology,
law, literature, and teaching. The
difficulty of superseding literary by
industrial education lies largely in
tho fact that men who have learned
anything of practical value can make
raoro monoy by the direct use of
what thoy have learned than by
teaching it, whilo men who have
learned that which is of no value aro
good for nothing elso excopt to teach
it. Hence tho teachers of the use
less, or abstract, which can be em
bodied in books, are infinitely more
abundant than tho teachers of the
useful or concreto, which, as a rule
must bo taught by example.
Scoville, the brother-in-law and
attorney for Guiteau, under pre
tense of raising money to pay his
expenses while defending the
murdoror, attomptcd to lecture
in Washington City on tho evening
of the 14th, and under this cloak
took occasion to abuse tho press of
the country by charging "that it did
not treat the case fairly, and ho pro
tested against the excited expression
against the prisoner by tho press
and public. The press was inclined
to pander to a depravod or mistaken
sentiment in regard to the case."
The public have had some sympa
thy for the attorney who.as a relative
has been defending a wicked mur
derer, but that sympathy don't ex
tend to him in this lecture bus
iness, aud wo think he will have
a hard task before him to provo
ithat "the public press panders
to a depraved public sentiment,"
whon it only publishes facts that
transpiro in connection with the
trial. About as hard as he
will have in obtaining an acquittal
for Guiteau ou the plea of insanity

The Journal believes that, all
things considered, Judgo Cox has
been conducting his part of tho Gui
teau trial in an admirablo manner.
Not tho most prejudiced friend of
tho accused could object that the
Judge showed the least spirit of
persecution or unfairness, and cer
tainly Guiteau himself has proven,
aa strongly as ho could, (and through
what many havo beon terming the
leniency of tho court) that ho was
sound onougb of mind when ho shot
the presidont, to be held responsible
for his murderous act. If the Judge
had suppressed tho prisoner, Sco
villo's theory of insanity might have
been credited by the jury. As it is,
we do not see how they can conclude
that anythlug but revengo for being
ejected from tho White House ac
tuated Guiteau.
