Mr Board man will, however, contest the election for ! tbe Ponsonby Ward, after it has been gazetted.

A. Brown put some questions to the lecturer, but as the latter bad to sail by the mail steamer at midnight he was obliged to close the debate rather abruptly.

On Saturday afternoon the place was well filled with little folk, and a distribution of present* was made as they left. Miss Evelyn Rayne, of Pitt-street, securing tbe most valuable gift, viz., a chest of drawers. At night the rooms were thronircd, and tho total receipts for the day were fuund to bo ne«rly £100.

An ocarina is also to be given away every evening this week, and the recipients will be taught how to perform upon it.

At Pitt-street Wesleyan Chnrcb, yester day morning, the Rev. W. Hi Dewsbury preached a sermon introductory to a course which he is about to deliver (by request) on the subject of Evolution as opposed to the Scriptural account of man's creation. In the initial discourse the chief objections urged against the Biblical description of man's first state and the manner of his fall were considered. The record in Genesifi had met with the utmost ridicule ; it had been termed a figurative or mythical narrative, and not one of actual fact*. But, tnc preacher contended, the ac count had all the force, all the evidence, of historical accaracy. If one portion of.the Bible were explained away as allegorical, all might be subjected to the same procets, for the bisii of the whole was one and the same. And the ruin did not end bore. The New Testament went with the Old ; deny tha Divine authorship ot the one and you do the same for tha other. The whole Bible was an arch from which nat one stone can be removed without brincing the whole down in ruin. After summarising the original condition and the trial of man, as stated in Genesis, Mr Dewsbury proceeded to meet objection. (1) It seemed to reflect on the justice and wisdom of God, that while foreknowißg what the result would be, he did not prevent it. The fore* of the objection was admitted, and but a partial explanation of the difficulty was at pretest potsible, God'a wiidom taw that more good than evil would in the end result. (2) The nature of tbe prohibition bad been stigma tised as ridicalouH. What barm in eating

au apple? but a positive precept was better able to test man's obedience than a moral one. The reaion for the prohibition was not apparent on the surface. Triers was besides no hardship or tuffeiing to be pie acted afterwards in mitigation of punish ment ; and God's right to be obeyed was the more easily recognised in the simple plain command, "Thou shalt lot eat.'' (3) The penalty — death — was dispro portionate to the offence But the eating was merely the outward acr, the evil lay far deeper. Cnbelief. treason, rebellion, pride, the casting off of God's authority, alt were included in the single act. With such a great punishment the chances of disobedience were the smaller; and the object of God was clearly the prevention of misery.

SUDDEN DEATH.

A LABOURING man Danied Edward Walker, died suddenly at Cnehnnga jesterday. While partaking of some food at the resi dence of Mr Wayland, Kegistrar, by whom he had at come previous time been em ployed, the man was suddenly seized with a fit, and died almost immediately. Walker was a siDgle man, about 40 years of age. For the last seven weeks he had been employed by Mr Austin, manager of the Northern Boot and Shoe Manufac turing Company, as gardener and general handy man. On Saturday evening, about 6.15 p.m., after receiving gome money, he left the residence of his employer, on the Mount Rcskill Road, with the avowed in tention of going to town, and returning by the 9.30 'bos. He evidently carried out this programme so far, for one of the 'ous men states that Walker went from town in his vehicle to the top of Kyber Pass Road. Here he alighted, and went into one of the hotels with a parcel under his arm. From hence we are informed he proceeded to One huoga in consequence of being informed that a letter awaited him ihere. He reached the residence of Mr Wayland, and met his death as already stated. An in quest was proceeding this afternoon.

Germany might have coalitions against her, as in former times. He had thus far been able to frustrate such coalition*, but only because the stiengih of Germany was known.

DISCOVERY 01' I)K LONG'S REMAINS.— I'KIVATIOXS, IXDESCRII3AW.<C SUFFERINGS

AND DEATH IN SIBERIA,

The Jeannettasearchparty.under command of Engineer Mrlville, found the remains of Commander De Long and the other missing men from the Arctic Exploring Yacht Jeannette. Melville .stumbled upon De Long's bauds sticking out of the snow about thirty feet from the river bank. Upon digging litre he fouud beneath four feet of snow the body of Dr Ambler, lying three feet away from De Lou?. At their feet was the body of Ah Sam, the Chinaman. All were partially covered with pieces of blanket. The other bodies were ntar where the tent was pitched. Their feet had no boots on, but were covered with rags tied on. In the pockets of all were pieces of burned skin and clothing which they had been eatiog. All their hands were burned, as if when dying they had crawled into the fire, and one body was lying acros» the lire. Two boxes of records were found.

MELVILLE'S REPORT—DX LOXO'S PAPERS,

WASHrNOTo:*, June 26th.—The Navy Department is in receipt of a report from Engineer Melville, giving in detail the story of his search for De Long aod party and the discovery of their dead bodies.

The fallowing extract* ate from De Long's notn book : Under date of Monday, October 3rd, De Long writes, his party thought they saw a hut, but upon reaching the spot found only a mound. Camp was made in a hole in a bluff, and a roaring lire was soon drying and burning their clothes, while tbe cold wind ate into their backs. !No:biog was left to eat but their dog,which was killed and dressed, and a stew was made of such parts a? could not be cured. All partook ot tho stew except De Long. Before this, Alexia wai sent to examine what they thought was a hut, and came back at night with a favourable report. It wa3 decided to wait until morning before leaving.

THREE BIGHTS WITHOUT SLXEP,

It was then below zaro. A watch waa set to keep the fire from going out, and ill huddled around it, aid thus the third night without sleep wa« patced. If Alexia h»d not wrapped his sealskin around De Long, he (De Long) think* he would have ptr ished. At Ba. m. the party reached a hut large enough to hold thitu, and for the first time since Saturday they managed to get warm. Erickson was tery low, and prajers were read for him before the others sought rest. At 10 a.m. all except Alexia lay down to sleep. Alexia went of! to bunt, and at notn returned, having fallen into the river.

TKA AHD DOQ MEAT.

At 6 p.m. they rose and bad a pound of dog meat for each person and a cup of tea, the day's allowance, but they were so grateful they wers not exposed to the terrible gale which was ragiog, that they did not mind the short rations, On Wednesday they bad tea and dog meat for breakfast. Alexia again went off hunting, and came back with nothing. On Thursday they had a cap of a third of"a handful of tea, with half an ounce of alcohol io it. Alexia wa* again, sent out to huat, and Erickson died while he wa« gone. Alexia returned empty-handed. Ihe notes at this point say : " What in God's name is goiogto become of us? Fourteen pounds of dog meat lift, and 25 miles to a possible settlement."

'"1 hey could not dig a grave for Eiiek son, as the ground was frozen too hard, and they hid nothing to dig with; «o they sewed the body up in the laps of the tent, covered with their flags, and buried him in the river. Thrte volleys from their Reming tons were fired over him."

THE SEVENTEENTH DAY'S BBKAKFAST.

Under date of October 6ih, the notes say:—" Ihe seventeenth day's breakfast consisted of the last half pound of dog meat and tea. The last grain ot tea was put in the kettle, and we are now about to under take a journey of twenty five miles with some old tea-leaves and two quarts of alcohol. However, I trust in God, and I believe that He who has fed us thus far will not suffer ns te die of want now." The party left a record in the hut, which wa9 found by Melville, as already reported. They got underway at 8.20 a,ra,, and pro ceeded until 11.30 a.m., by which time they had made about three miles, and were all pretty wsll done up. They had half an ounce of alcohol t»nd a pot of tea for dinner.

PTABMIOAN AND ALCOHOL,

They then went ahead and soon struck what seemed to be the main river again. Here four of the party broke through the ice in trying to eroaa, and fearing frost bite, a tire was built. Alexia was sent off to lcok for food, being directed not to go far nor stay long. He came back at 5.30, with one ptarmigan, of which a soup was made, which, with half an ounce of alcoho', constituted their supper, Patntday, October 4th, the notes say .-—"Called all hands at 5.30 and had breakfast of half an ounce of [alcohol and a pint of hot water. Ihe alcohol proves of great advantaze, keeping off the craving for food, prevent ing the gnawing of the stomach, and has kept up the strength of the mcD, who are given three onnces a day. We weut ahead until 10.30, amd after five miles struck the big river again. We have to turn back, and only made an advance of one mile. We made camp, bnt had little wood and half an ounce of alcohol."

EATIUG DEER SKIN SCRAPS.

Sunday, 9th.-Called all hands at 4.30. | Had half an ounce of alcohol. X cad Divine service, and sent Ninderman and Noros ahead for relief. They started at seven, and we cheered them under way. At eight o'clock we crossed a crack, broke through the ice, and all went up to their knees in the water. We dried our clothing, and were nnder way at 10.30. At 1 p.m. we struck the river bank. We had salt for dinner, and half an uunca of alcohol. Alexia shot three ptarmigans aud made sonp. We are following Ninderman's track all through. We found a canoe, and laid our heads in it and went to sleep. 1

Monday, October 10th.— Took the last half ounce ot alcohol at 5.30. At C.30 sent Alexia off to look for ptarmigan. Ate deer skin scraps yesterday morning. Ate my deer skin and foot tips. Under way at eight o'clock, 1b crossing the creek three got wet. We built a fire and dried out aud went ahead again till eleven. Used up. Built a fire and made a drink out of tea leaves and from the alcohol bottle.

THE OFFICERS AND CREW SAVED.

News was receive 1 at the Merchants' Exchange from the Point Lobos Signal Station of the wreck of the British ship Lam mermoor on Badega Reef, a short distance outii.ie the Gate and north of North Htad. The waves are reported to be breaking oyer the deck aft. The rnatts were all standing at last report, but they are likely to go by the board at any moment. There are seven f'et of water reported to be in the hold. The crew were atl taken off safely by a schooner, whose name and destination are at present unknown. The Lammermoor was seventy, eight days out from Sydney, New South Wales, and consigned to William?, Dirnond & Co.

TOR NADO IN IOWA.

GRKAT DESTRUCTION OF PEOrEKTV AND

LIFE.

Dcs Moines, June 21st.-The tornado made a swarth of destruction through a thickly settled portion of lowa, some 150 miles in length and an average half-mile in width, extending from a point south of Ames, in the centre of the State, whence it swept in the shape of a crescent to South English, in Keokuk county, in the south eastern part of the State. We have the names now of sixty-nine dead, and five hun dred wounded. Half of the latter are grievously hurt, probably a fifth of them fatally. Over three hundred families have had their homes totally destroyed. There are now at least 1,500 people homeless and in want. The loss in property will exceed §2,000,000, and may reach $3,000,000. In the town of Grionell alone over $400,000 in property was destroyed.in not one of which was a cent ot insurance as in the case of fires. It will take at least 8300,000 to put the people there beyond need and distress. Ie will take $100,000 at once to put the wounded people in condition to be cared for. It will ttke §1,000,000 at the lowest to keep the sufferers from want and to help them to put the humblest of roofs over their beads.

Sioux City, lowa, June 25.— * cyclone or hurricane struck Boopersyillo, 50 miles north-east of Sioux City, at six o'clock yes terday miirning, destroying the Presbyter ian church, the schoolhouet, a carpenter shop, and twenty-five residences and barns in Hoopers' immediate vicinity. The hur ricane lasted only 15 minutes. Henry Gaol, a farmer, was fatally injured. The coarse of the hurricane appeared, to be from west to east, and it swept a path about five miles wide for 15 miles.

Eighteen freight cars pf the Chicago, St Paul, and Minneapolis Railroad were turned upside down, moat of them being torn from their tracks. Toe depot and adjoining warehouse were lifted fom their foundations, carried 10 to 20 feet, and badly wrecked.

The peculiarity of the hurricane was that it was tive o'clock yesterday morning Sioux City, June 25 h. -a report came to Sanbarn Station, on the St. Paul and Milwaukee Road, twenty miles northeast of Hosper's, that Primgar was wrecked by a storm, and six people injured. Primgar is an inlaad town, south-east of Sanburn, and i» the county seat of O'Brien couDty. It has about three hundred people. Sur geons from Saobnm have gone to Primgar. A farmer came to Spencer, a station twenty miles east of Sanburn, with reports that in his neighbourhood six were killed and forly injured.

Spencee, lowa, June 25th.—A cyclone passed through this vicinity last night. It struck this town and did much damage — unroofing buildings and tearing up side walks and blowing down residences, birns and building-. In the southern part of Clay county it blew down twenty homes, killed five people and injured about twenty-five. At Emmetsburg it blew down four residences, took the front out of four business blocks, made a tonal wreck out of Shanner's plow wotk?, and injured fonr persons, two seriously. Independence (fa.), June 23.—Av<ry de&trueuve windstorm visitrd this place yesterday. The railroad depot buildicgs were destroyed, and ia the city a large number of residences and business houses were unroofed, and some were demolished. The school buildings were partially un roofed. Sells Bros.' circus tent was de molithed, and three of his men are reported killed. It was not a whirlwind, but a sweeping hurricane. The extent of the damage cannot be giren, as the wires are still down.

CHASHD BY A WATBBSPOUT.

>'ear Lafayette, Ind,, there was a terrific watenpout eigbl feet high on Saturday night, which chaaed a train of cars coming to that city for a con>id»rable distance. It whirled rocks and immense trees along in its course, but spent its fnry before it caught the train. Under the bridges at Wahoo creek the hiil packed two feet deep, Hailstones as big as egg 3 and walnuts bom barded Wahoo. It is reported that at Brainard's a man had an arm broken and two children were killed. Near Talmage, in Nehama county, a whirlwind hurled a freight car down the bank, and it struck a handcar under which six section-men had sheltered tnercselvs?. They did not see the flying car in time to escipp, and it killed one outright and fatally injured five others.

FURTHER DETAILS,

Chicago, June 27.—The cyclone storms which for the past few days have traversed and desolated parts of the VVest, aetmed to have followed no particular course, but to have dipped down here arjd there at points as widely separated as cities in Nebraska, and In Michigan and as Dakota territory and Southern Indiana. Tke ravages in lowa have been the most serious to iife and property, but ihe aggregate loss?s in other parts of the territory are very heavy. Among the casualties whi«h have not been already mentioned, the following may be given as indicating the general character and violence of the elements : At Osceola, la., Sunday, Adam Miller and Win. Lowe were killed by lightning. A severe rain and winditorm viiited Albia yesterday evening, with an accompaniment of terrific thunder and lightning. Trees were snapped off like pistols, and many pranks were played by the wind, buc no lost of life a reported. The eiorm appeared like is cyclone.

Execution of Guiteau.

THE ASSASSIN SHOWS

XO SIGNS OF

REMORSE OR FEAR

Strenuous efforts were made by Guiteau's friends to secure a reprieve for the assassin, but without success. The death warrant was prepared on Jane 24th, and signed on the following Monday. John W. Guiteau, brother of the assassin, sent a telegram to the President, saying he would be in Washington that day with new facts in the Guiteau case regarding his insanity, and asking for a delay in tbe fioal decision till these are heard, The interview waa granted, but the authorities refused to interfere with the course of the law. Guiteau still cluDg to hope, refusing to admit that hi 3 laat chances were gone. He talked freely of his execution, &nd told Hicks tUat he wanted him to go on the scaffold with him, if the worst came. He maintained his cheerfulness, and on the Friday night before hn execution he slept like a top, and when he aro3e next morning was as cneerful as could be, bumming tnd whirling snatches of hymn?, though now aod then indulging in music of a more worldly nature. Alter breakfa?t, Guiteau turned his attention to the Bible, and read a number of passages of Scripture. The guard was at his door. To the guard he said that he was prepired to go, and he would just as Eoon be hanged that day as to wait till the next Friday, At this time ths pews of the adverse decision on the petition ot respite had not reached the jail, but he did not seem to be in any way interested in the result.

SINGULAR COEBESPONDESCE,

Guiteau's mail, at this time, was increas ing rapidly, while requests for antographs and good and unpleasant advices were arriving daily. Among the arrivals was a large railroad spike, with a skull and cross boues on the head, to bs used as the last nail in hia coflio. George Scoville, Guiteau's brother-in-law, on the 26th June, addressed a letter to the President, consist ing of a general arraignment of the Pres*, the people, the Courts, the witnesses, and the preachers, for their ill-treatment of bini, of his firmly, and of Guiteau. He incidentally remarked that Guiteau had done mare harm to him, in his purse, his family affairs, and his peace ot mind, than to anybody else on earth. He urged the Pre-ident to grant a respite and not to yield to the insatiate thirst for vengeance which blinds the high and low alike to justice. He maintained that the question of sanity had not been fairly settled.

AN ASVLCSI STEEIXTEXDEXT ON GUIT.

EAU'S SASITY,

Professor Godding, superintendent of the Government Insane Asylum at Washing ton, wrote as follows to a'geotleoiau who desired 'his opinion on Gniteau's mental coudition : -" Guiteau weut insane iQ bis niutteenth year and has been so ever since, though there have been times of compara tive mental quiesence as there have been petiods of greater exciienunt. He was born mentally deformed, very kten and quick in some dirfction?, but deficient in common seise. His unnatural egotism v also congenital. He will in my opinion go through whatever remains for him, in a conGdeat, not to 3ay,triumphant manner." On the morning of the execution, Charles H. Reed, coumel for Guiteau, said :—I have seen nothing, as yet, to shake my cod viciion that Guiteau will die without weak ness or faltering. His courage is not that of an ordinary criminal or of a mere ruftun who tikes pride in d<in™ game; i. is rather tint of a martyr—of a man who suffers and dies for the sake of some reli gious princip'e. I thought, at one time, that he was beginning to show weakness. I saw, in the newspapers, that a spiritual adviser had been called in, and the thought occurred to me tbat perhaps Gnitcau had t>egua to realise that he had committed a crime and needed Divine forgiveness, and that he wished to make preparation for death. The next time I saw him I Bald : " Charles, I see by the newspaieri that you have called in a minister. Do you feel as if you ne;ded to prepare for death » Do you repent of what yon bare done ?" He looked at me, with a wild expression in bis eyes, and shouted : " No, I haven't called in any minister. I haven't done anything wroDg. The min ister came of his own accord. I didn't •end for him."

BEFORE TIIE EXECUTION.

On the morning of the execution, there was a constant stream of people going into gaol. The scene outside was like that of same great gala occasion. En'erprising coloured men had erected booths from which refreshments were served to we«ry and thirsty people. Guiteau was very rest less during most of the latter part of the nk'ht, uot sleeping more than twenty minutes at a time. Towards morning he fell into a sounder sleep from sheer exhaus tion. He rose a few minutes after 5 o'clock and breakfasted heartily at 6.30. When the cook took his b'eakfast into the cell Guiteau told him to bring his dinner in at 11 o'clock promptly, Guiteau expressed considerable anxiety lest lome accident should occur.and insisted that Hicks should see that the scaffold and its appurten ances were in all proper condition. After Guiteau had disposed of these matters he read a poem composed by himself, which he called "Simplicity, or Religious Baby Talk." Alter reading it alone he attempted to sing it but broke down in the effort, Guiteau then talked for tome time about the future. He remarked that his heart was tender. <; 1 don't think," he said, " I can go through this ordeal without weep ing, nut b?cause of any qieat weakoess, for the principle in me Is strong, but because lam nearer the o'her world. I hold the idea tbat God inspired me." Guiteau sub sequently a-ked that in hi* books all com plimentary remarks about President Arthur and his Administration be eliminated. Then he presented Hicks the books that had been the companions of his lonely hours. Two hours before the execution, he sent for the gaol boo.black, and gave him his boots to beshimd. An hour later his dinner, was brought, and he ate with much relish. The dinner consisted of a pound of broiled steak, a dish of fried potatoes, four slices of toast, and a quart of coffee. Dr Hick" when became out of the cell, said the pri' soner had not the slightest tear. "We had a pleasant religious talk. He said that his preparations were comleted, and he was ready for the list formality. He committed himself to God with the utmost confidence." Shortly before 12 o'clock Guiteau seemed to break down completely, and burst into tears and sobbed hysterically. Dr Hicks sat by his side fanning him and vainly try ing to calm him. Just before the time fixed for the execution the dea?h warrant was read by Warden Crocker to thepriso tit i", who then became more composed, and turning aside began to brush his trousers.

ON THE SCAFFOLD,

At 12.25 p.m. the iron gate 3at the end of corridor clicked and a moment later the familiar figure of Guiteau was seen. His face was pallid, aod the muscles abont the mouth moved nervously. Otber than this there were no signs of faltering, Guiteau ascended the eomewbat steep steps with as - much steadiness as could be expected from a man whose han^s were tightly pinioned. Upon reaching the platform Gureau was ' placed immediately behind the drop facing to the front of the scaffold ' Prayer was offered by Dr. Hicks, and I during its progress Gnitean stood with! bowed head. At its conclusion Dr. Hicks

opened the Bible, and Guitean, in firm tones, said : " I will read a selection from the tenth chapter of Matthew, from the thirty-eighth to the forty-first verses incln tive."

38. And he that taketh not hiscrojs and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me. ' '

39. He that fiodeth his life shall lose it • and he thatloseth his life for My lake shall find it.

40. He that receiveth you receiveth Me and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that «ent Me.

41. He that receivetb a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward ; and he that receireth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

When he had concluded, Guiteau said with composure, " I am now going to read to you my last dying prayer."

THE ASSASSIN'S LAST PRAYBB. He then read, in a loud tone and with distinct and deliberative emphasis the following :

Father, now I go to Thee and to the Saviour. 1 have finished the work Thon gayest me to do, and I aw only too happy to go to Thee. The world does not yet ap. predate my mission, but Thou knoweat Thon didst inspire Garfietd'a removal, and only good has come from it. This U the best evidence that the inspiration came from Thee, aod I hare set it forth in my book that all men may read and may know that Thou, Father, didst the act for which I am murdered. This G»v*rnment and nation by this act, I know, will incur Tby eternal enmity, at did the Jews by killing Thy soa, my Saviour. Retribution in that case came quick and sharp, and I know Thy divine Jaw of retribution will strike this nation and my murderers in some way The diabolical spirit of this nation, it* Go^ vernmeut and its newspapers toward ire will justify Thee ia cursing them, and 1 know that the divine law of retribution is inexorable. 1 therefore predict that this nation will go down is blood, and my murderers, from the Executive to the hang, man, will go to hell, ihy laws are inexor able, U thou Supreme Judge 1 Woe uato the men that violate thy law. Only weep. ing and gnashing of teeth await them. The American press has a large bill to settle with thee, Kighteous Father, for their vindictiveness in this matter. Nothing but blood will justify them, and now my blood be in them and this nation, for it 3 officials, aad Arthur, its President, is a coward and an ingrate. Bi« iograti' tnde to the man that made him and saved his party and land from overthrow has no parallel in history, but thon, highteoui Father, will judge him. Father, thoa kcowestme, but the world hath not known roe, and now I go to Thee and the Saviour without the slightest 111 will towards a human being. Farewell, ye men of earth. At several polu's he paused and endea voured to impart increased emphasis to his words by the peculiar facile expreisioa often observed during the trial when he was angered at something which was said or done. This was particularly noticeable when he alluded to President Arthur, and when lie declared that this nation would go dowa in blood.

"POETBY" AND TEAKS. When he had finished reading his prayer he ajain surveyed the crowd and said, still in a fair voice : —"I am now going to reads-, some rerses, which are intended to indicate*

my feelings at the moment of leaving this world. If set to music they may be ren dered effective. The idea is that of a child babolin; to his mamma and his papa. I wrote it this morning about 10 o'clock." He then commenced to chant theie verses in a tad, doleful style :--

1 am going to the Lordy. I am so ulad 1 I am s jUk to the Lordy, I am bo glad I I am goina to the Lordy 1 Glory hiilelujah! Glory hallelujah! I am going to the Lordy 1

Here again his feelings overcame him, and he leaned his head on the shoulder of Dr, Uicks and sobDed piteously. Still he went on:

I wonder what I will do. When I get to the Lordy. I goe'B shat I wlil weep no more. When I get *o the Lordy. Glory, halleluiah! Here there was another interruption caused by the sobs and emotions which he was unable to repress. He" wept bitterly, and then, with quivering lips and mournful tone 3, he went on ts finish his ditty i

I am gains: to the Lordy, I love trie Lordy With all roy bodl. Glory, bailelcj »li! And ih»t is the reason I am eoinn tbo Lordy. Glory, ha Ulajih! Glory. hallelDjah. I am goIDR the Lordy

Here Guiteau's voice failed, and he bowed hia h»ad and broke into sobs, but he rallied a little and went on with this chant:

I sav*d my party and my land- Glory, h«l<eluj»hl Bnt they have murdered me for It, And thai is the reason I am Kotng to the Lerdy. Glory, hallelujah ! Glorr, hallelujah 1 I wonder wnat I wLI see Whan I go to the Dordy ? I expect to inset splendid things Berond all earthly conception When X am with the Lordy, Glory, hallelujah!

Baisiog hia voice to the highest pitch that he could command, he shouted :

Glory, hallelDJ*h! 1 am with the Lord I

THE FINAL SCENE,

This closed the chant, and then the Rev. Mr Hicks gave Guiteaa his final benedic t ion and farewell, saying, "God, the Father, be with you." The attendants pinioned his legs, acd carefully adjuited the noose about his neck. Mr Serong placed the black cap over his head, and as he did so Uuiteau called out in leud tones, " Glory 1 glory ! glory !" Instantly the trap was sprung, and the btdy turned pirtly around, bat there was not the slightest perceptible motion of the limbs. When the drop fell a yell was sent up by some person inside of the jail. This was re-echoed outside by the thousand or more people, who hurrahed lustily. There was a general onslangbt by the populace upon the jail door, which the officeri were unable to withstand, and hundieds of people crowded into the office. For at least forty s-conds attar the drop fell tbe body hung motion less. Then there was a slight motion of tbe shoulders and legs, doe to mmcular con traction. Three minutes after the drop fell the body was lowered, to be examined by the pbyjic'aos present. Thero was s de cided acti n of the heart for fully fourteen minutes longer. When the body had hung with the feet just touching the ground for over half an hour it was lowered into a coffin which was waiting for it under toe scaffold. The physiciaus decided that the neck had been broken.

THE BBAIN IX A NOBMAL CONDITION.

There were tw«nty-three medical men at the autop3y h«ld subsequently. The b^ain wag found to be in a normal condition, and weighed fotty-nine ounce?. Tlje heart weighed a little over nine ounces, and w*s in a healthy condition, as were all theotber internal organs. Dr McWilliams, the first physician to leave the room where the ; autopsy was held, said there wa* nothing 180 far as he could see about the brain that was abnormal. Its weight, according to Dr. McWilliams, was forty-nine and a half ounces. The general viscera, he «aid, were in perfect condition. All the physiciau* agreed that there were lymphoe in the brain and hardening of some of the tissues, bat none of them care to ex pr<<S3 a p«sitivc opinion until after the ex amination shall have been completed, pr. Bisa said there there many points showing a good healthy mental and physical development. It had been the intention of the surgeons to begin by making a plaster cast of the brain, with a new to tbe preservation iv that form of its configuia tion and external characteristic*, but tbe organ was found to be so toft and yielding as to render this impracticable ; resort was therefore had to photography. After placing the brain on a mass of curled hair, such a< that used iv upholstery, and dis posing it to the form which it had daring jife, a number of negative) were taken of it from different points of view.

GOITEAU'S WILL

In his last will and testament, Guiteau says: —I do hereby give and grant you, (Rev. Mr Hicks) my body after execution; provided, however, that it shall not be used for any mercenary parposs, and I hereby, for good and suffiafent considers tlons, give, deliver and transfer to said H>cks my book entitled 'The Truth and Removal," and the copyright thereof, to be used by him in writing a truthful history of my life and execution. I direct that sncli history be entitled, "The Life and "Work of Charles J. Gniteiu.1' ' And I hereby solemnly proclaim and announce to all the world tint no person or persons shall ever in any manner use my body for any mercenary purpose whatever; and if, at any time hereafter, any persons shall de sire to bonour;my remains, they can do it by erecting a monument, whereon shall be in scribed these words : " Here lies the body oi Charles J. Guiteau, a patriot and Christian. His soul is in glory.- Charles J. GOT> IEiU."
