Washington, D.' C, January 6.
Scoville has received a bona fide
proposition from a medical gentle
man for the body of Charles J.
Guitcnu. This gentleman, whose
name Scoville declines to make pub
lic at present, has offered to pay im
mediately, $1,000, the amount of
purchase money, on condition he
shall have the body of the prisoner
as soon as the execution of the law
has been met, to dispose of abso
lutely a he shall see fit. lie also
agrees to take his chances of waiting
one month or twenty years for the
consummation, of the bargain, on
Guiteau's part. The proposition
was submitted to Guiteau to-tlay,
and seemed to impress him finite
favorably. After reflecting a mo
ment he suggested: "I think :
ought to brinjr more than that: per
haps some other fellow may offer
$2,000. I hen I can pay my debts
all, and it-I get a new trial that mis
erable Corkhill can't bring on a lot
of fellows just to swear how much I
owe them."
An Incident of Shiloh.
The vertcran Colonel Thomas
Reynolds, of Madison, was one of
the brayest men Wisconsin had in
the war. The colonel was under
arrest for some trivial matter at the
opening of the battle of Shiloh, be
ing major at the time without atop
pinq to ask for release, he seized a
shillalah, and took command of the
regiment after the field-officers had
been disabled, and fought as gallant
ly as anv man on that bloody field.
Grant saw him with his peculiar
weapon, and asked, "Who has com
mand of this regiment?" "I have
that honor, General." "Where is
your sword?" "You have it. Gen
eral." Grant then remembered that
the major had been arrested. Those
who saw Grant say a tear rolled
from his eyes as he said, ''Major,
you are released. Your sword will
be sent to you." Milwaukee Sun

A lew Things That Th Times Snows is

Chicago road will strike Jlutler

That a pretty woman is the noblest
work of God.
That the Times has a boom on it.
That a certain nice young man in
this city is smashed into flinders on
the young lady that wears a pink
colored ribbon.
That we will trade a puff for a
news item, quick.
That an old maid is the most hate
ful, and an old batch the meanest
things on the green earth.
That some people who do not, but
ought to become members of the
anti-poke-your-nose into other peo
ple's affairs.
That. the patent inside ot some

Jubal Early.
I saw old Jubal Early the other
tlay. says a correspondent, and
among all the queer characters, you
meel in Virginia he is perhaps the
queerest. lie was a union man be
fore the war, anil fought secession
with a bitterness in keeping with his
intense traits of character. When
the ordinance passed, in spite of his
protest, he went home and raised a
company for the war, and he has
never vet learned that the conflict is
ended, lie seems to live entirely in
the past, and to find happiness only
in personal conflicts and a revival of
I the animosities of the war. I saw
him at his home in Lynchburg,
w here he cams his living by practic
ing lavr. I should judge his life is
not a pleasant one. He rooms by
himself, unsurrounded by the com
forts of a home and family, and
boards at a hotel. lie is bent and
bowed like a man ot 90 years, and
yet has not reached three score and
ten. He was a graduate ot West
Point, but did not remain in the
army. Those who remember him
just after his graduation speak of
him as a splendid-looking young
man, with almost a perfect military
air and carriage. To-day his droop
ing shoulders, long gray beard, flow
ing white hair, and powerful staff
upon which he leans for support
give him an appearance not unlike
Joe Jefferson's representation of
Rip Van Winkle ; yet they tell me
he presents much the same appear
ance as when he was a lieutenant
general in the confederate army, rid
ing at the head of the Second army
coips, which he commanded. 1 hat
he is still vigorous, notwithstanding
his appearance, and is full of fire,
fight and vindictiveness, is evident.
$IIe wears the old regulation gray,
the color still loved and respected by
southerners, and thus preserves the
memories of the past in his every
day appearance, as in his words and
efforts. He is rather above the
medium size, and has a massively
moulded frame, naturally capable of
great powers of endurance. I lis
friends say that his mind is still clear
and vigorous, and that he is by no
means an old man. He seems to
have no close friendships, but to live
within himself and upon the recol
lections of the past. His recent as
sault upon Mahoue seems to have
revived interest in him all over the
country, and it has brought him
prominently before the people of
the state where he was almost for
gotten. Now Mr. Street Railway Compa
ny, the City Council has granted you
all you asked for and it now becomes
you to commence and complete as
soon as possible the first line of your,
road from the southwest to the north-
cast corner of the public square, and
thence by way ot Main and Pine
streets to the depot thus securing to
yourselves other valuable franchise
privileges contained in the grant
made to you Thursday evening by
the City Council. We have no hes
itancy in venturing the assertion that
the earnings of the line will yield
t handsome dividend to the stock
holders. We have known similar
enterprises to succeed in other places
of less population and business tban
Hutler. Now go ahead and get vour
line in operation. The quicker the
better for us all.
The City Council adopted our sug
gestion in reference to cows being
permitted to run at large by their
owners. At a meeting held last eve
ning that body decided to give the
owners of cows until Monday next
to prepare to keep them up. After
that day the ordinance heretofore
passed by the Council in reference
to this nuisance will be rigidly en
forced. If Miss Nettie Adams is good look
ing: she is our cousin Local.
Miss Nettie begs to be excused as
it is not yet settled whether the Local
will turn out to gobbling after going
through the gobblers he has during
holidays. Medler.
Mrs. Kelzcr, sister-in-law to J. M.

There is Nothing Equal to Marsh's

"I have been cured ot a hard Cough

A. L. Morrison, St. Joseph, Mo.
"My wife had an obstinate Cough lor
several months, and was unable to get a
remedy that would reach the spot. A
friend told her of Marsh's Golden Balsam,
She tried it, and was relieved at once.
There is nothing equal to it." E M.
Hugesj Topeka, Kansas.
"Not long ago our little girl took a very
bad Cold and coughed incessantly. We
gave her ginger tea and other home rem
edies, but with little benefit. We then
procured your Golden Balsam and it
immediately cured her." U. A. Ford,

Emtok Daily Times: In the
last is.sue of the Record is an article
in regard to injuring trees on the
Cemetrey ground. I think there
has been no iniury done. I did the
trimming of the trees myself, and
there is still more trimminjr needed.
If the twigs are not needed for orna
menting they will go to waste on the
ground. Respectfully

Secrets of u salty. Breathes there a
man who does not love a beautiful wo
man? Breathes there a woman who doe
not love to be admired by man? No art
can paint, no sculptor can chisel the dim
pled rosy cheek, the lustre of the eye, the
bewitching smile nor the long luxurant
tresses as nature preents in a beautiful
woman. All females can retain their
heahh and personal charms by the use of

The Jiutlcr Times denies the charge
of the Ilolden Enterprise that 'Hutler
has espoused the Harris scheme.
Ve admonish our IJutler friends that
tlicy had better join the Harris pro
cession or prepare to see it go by
way of Rich Hill. Journal-Dem

We are much obliged to the J.-D.
for its friendly admonition concern
ing our joining of the Harris proces
sion, but desire in this connection to
remind the T.-D. that it will be kept
as busy as a ten year old boy in a
yellow jackets net to get that pro
cession in marching trim from pres
ent indications. V e will wait
and see the procession come
marching along. That's the time
to fall in line.

Barnard & Co., of St. Louis,
through mistake a few days ago sen
to Bob Catron's address a package
which upon opening proved to be a
package of wedding cards. Bob had
of course, no use for them, they
wouldn't pan out as tax receipts and
returned them to the agent ot the ex
press company by whom they would
have been returned, when suddenly
one of the young bloods of Bates
county called at the expres office
and addressing the agent said : I-I
ha-ha-ve a small pa-ck-age here mis
ter. The young man recognized the
package by the contents as his.
Don't be alarmed Bud, we wont
tell your name, but don't forget to
send us some of the wedding cake,
boss. .
