NEWS 01 WBBK, BY TELEGRAPH AND MAIL. \\ \ \ X. The Guiteau Trial. Ouiteau was taken directly to the witness- box on the opening of Court on the 3-tb. ult. and resumed his personal reminiscences. He narrated his experience in the lecture field. He onee trie-lto lecture against B;>bIngersoll, who was trvins* to prove the non-existeijee of a bell, hut found that people were very ready to pay fiftr cents to hear that there was no hell, who wouldn't pay a cent to hear that there was. He identified his revised work, "Truth," and read an extract therefrom descriptive of the trials of the Apostle Paul in endeavoring to introduce Christianity. Witness c'amedthat he had had as rough a time as ever Paul had. Witness then detailed his efforts to secure employment as a Republican ..camt-afgn .speaker, and said ho was on free > and eisy terms with Jewell and the rest of ithem, ; He made* his first application for office , so5n after tjeaei-at Garfield's election, and Ms gettihjr or not fr.trina; th»oltiee he sought had nothing whatever to do with the removal of thePresident. 'Xh-.'t was aa act of inspiration, and was done as a political necessity. His mind was taken possession of by a superior power. He acted oatside of himself. '.•"[Witness then desired to read from a printed slip, elucidating the subject more at length, but the District-Attorney objected, and the Court sustained the objection. Continuing, Guiteau sad tbat, after Conkl-ng's resignation, he thought that, if Garfield were removed, the party trouble" would cease. In a lo might's time thxt thought had become a fixed • evolve. The removal became necessary to save the Nation from ruin. The Lord employed witness as the instrument of removal, Irifcause He always employs the best material. He added: '-The Lord uses the best means for His work, and He has provided all these guards, the Jury and these experts to do Hi preserve me." The witness then briefly recited the incidents connected with the shoot- ia-_* ar.d his subsequent arrest. He believed President Arthur was a friend, for he made him Presideut, but he ha 1 never asked a favor of him, and he didn't believe he ever should. "Witness owed about ?1,*'0J. and if Bennett, of the New Vork Hrrnbl, sent him the I5-0.X) he hud aslcel him for, he would be able to pay ail bills and have something over. Witness halthe idea that he would one day be the _-vsi-'ent of the t'nited states. He then said that he wishe.l i o say something more &t>.)nt hi-s divorced wife, but the Court wmid not permit. Guiteau then said he did not know anything afcout her, but she had no business to come to Washington for the prosecution. The cross-exnmbuit o-i was begun, but the Court adjourned before it had been fairly entered upon. Trp 1:1 entering the witness-box for his cross- examination 0.1 the moraine of the 1st. Guiteau mide another appeal for money. Judge Porter conducted the crosr.-examination, eliciting from the prisoner in his several replies ih;!t he was physica'ly a eowa-d and always k.Ttaivay from personal danger. Morally he wa-- a< \ rave as a ) on, wir-n th:> Deity was btivk i-.f h.m. In his opinion the doctors killed ti e P (■< dent.

He be --sine very inl-ig;:aut at Judge Porter's persistent use of the word •• murder," and said that th - mere outward fact how he removed the President had no bearing on the ca-e. Preferring to his t'a'lure to obtain the Pa; is Consui.rte witness saii that he would not have taken the office a ter the 1st of Jure even if be fctwl be -n appoint 1: to it and President Gar- £et-i and Mr. Blaine hud both besought him :,n theirkneestotako it. Witness deeiined to discuss -he.'i"estion any farther. There wasnouse of wrist hi** of time in diseussing a matter w..ich had beeu so often ventilated. J: tU*e Porter then tjuestione I witness as to his opinion of Ms'no, whom Guiteau characterised as a * 1 m:i:, because he was using (ttiriieid, who , .....iman. but a weak politician. f'ar: f-ij, r sold hints-It, body and soul, to Bhiin", Guiteau said. When Mr. Porter again questioned the prisoner in regard to the shooting the latte became greatly excited, an* s;;id the • •m-st'on the jury was to pass vi -:•!! w..s whether the- le ty and himself d!'. the act, or whether witness did it on his personal account. He said he ex- pee .- > tb-re would be an act of God to protect hhi'. if n eessary, from any kind of vio- ien '-. ei;her hanging or shootins*. The wit- n* .-s ebiitned that his deed had saved the coun- t •• tn-::i wa". In answer to th • question why he _•■■'_:-■■•"■ ed <'eneral .-hernnm to send troops to the .'ail to j r rtect him if he obeyed his inspiration, ('uiteau said he would have been pho* ;<re! fa-rng :• bi;ie:re] tines if it had not 1 .(••.- to:-the troops. 'I he prisoner here e>m- i:l£ii::'-d of fatigue and the Cor.rt adjourned. 'ihe t-r-'ss-exauiinati'in of Guiteau was re- siini' I o-i the morning of the 2d. At the be ginning h«» arose and addressed Judge Porter j;-;ii the '.'ourt. declaring that hi? would not re- s( erel to <,uestions covering the ground al- r-a y ..me ->ver. If the prosecution had anything new to ask he would answer, otherwise, he wbttid not. In response to interrogations the v.i*n">s said one of the purposes he had in view in killing the President was to create a dent'ind for his book. This bor>I. was a sort of ci.Ila' eral gospel—the Iriblebrouirht down to the pres ..jit _:>y. He bel eved in the doctrine < f pre lestination most decidedly, and claimed that he was a man of destiny as much as the SiiVior. Paul or Martin Luther. It wa- bis destiny to obej* the Divine w.II in removing Garfield, and He ivi-aii take care of the matter. He (witness) had :.ot been hnng ".* shot yet, and he was s;.t!->!!"l with the Deity's management of the c:isf> e > far. The crose-e.varni atiou was con- tir.'ted with the v;ew of showing thatf'ui- te;)'i's alleged i eas of inspiration were j'iijgiiirisms from Noyes and from a book t- V.i-<\ the "Kerean." Judge Porter offered in _ v d tice a letter written by Guiteau on the f.e<: sir,', ef h s 1(; iving the Oneida Communi- t . I:e»uifiiing his cross-examination, Mr. Po T";-as*;e!i witness if it was in view of the p > itic'ii s t:::trion that he decided to murder the I-': >: ident. The ) risoner here interrupted ih • com .-ci ei.eitediy and Siid h- used that w .:•■■' -;: iii-'e*:-*' altogether to freely, and i..- srect that the proper word was •••'•inove.*' Th" prisoner was then closely «••:! s- joned as to his pistol practice and to his *iir;i»!ge.;i(.nts for going to ja:i. AVith re- g.-i i t>» th" last-named circumstance he s.: ■: he desired to b ■ incarcerated be- «••••:-e Le feared that he would be in* ' "t; d bef.iiv he could have an od- (■< ■■ :in.ty to explain his views to tiie people.

Ti*.e pris »ner then gave an account < ' h ~ .'.cti'-n* oh the morning of tbe •M ',-f July, but deeti-'ed to recapitulate the liifi.-tartces of the shooting. He d d, hows', -ay th it it was his intenti n to shoot v.. thel-aek. He hal no donbt as to "the '•-■sty or the divinity of the act.

The resolutions adopted by the Tariff Convention recently iu session in New York Ci:y declare iu favor of a policy of protection to home industry, and such an ''intelligent revision of the existing Tariff laws by a Civilian Commission appointed by Congress as will give full and harmonious effect to the protective policy, and that, pending the deliberations of the commission, disturbing and destructive assaults upon protective duties or special industries shall not be permitted." The resolutions also de- maud immediate action by Congress in regard to the practice of overturning protective duties, and ask for the prompt adoption of an amendment to the laws which will furnish a rule for the decision of cases of disputed classification *' in harmony with the spirit and purpose of our carefully- devised protective system of tariff legislation."' It was also declared that the decline of American shipping is not attributable to any lack of materials or skill in building ships; that the blame restswith the Government;, which treats this great interest of the country, not merely with neglect, but even discriminates against it. It was resolved to recommend the abolition of the tax on bank checks, proprietary articles aud matches.

Thomas, of Chicago, from the decree of excommunication pronounced against him by the Boek Iiiver (III.)

Nearly **f3),000 was subscribed on the spot. A fire broke out in the milling district of Minneapolis, Minn., early on the morning of the ith, and destroyed four flouring mills and one cotton mill.

He was arrested, and would probably be sent to the insane asylum. He had been a traveling oil painter, and had lived at Saratoga, N. Y., for some years. When Guiteau arrived at the Court- House on the oth he found an immense crowd on the sidewalk, and literally begged the officers to take him around to the back entrance, buthe was taken forward into the building. Ex-Speaker Randall appeared, in answer to a subpoena, but was excused. Dr. Kennon, editor of the Medical licview of Chicago, gave the opinion that the prisoner was insane. The assassin became incensed at the evidence of Richard Hinton, a Washington journalist, and shouted out that he had rather be hung as a man than acquitted as a fool. Several medical experts testified that, assuming Mr. Scoville's hypothetical propositions to be true, they believed the prisoner to be insine. Guiteau demanded that Messrs. Grant, Conkling and Jewell be summoned. The first regular session of the Forty- seventh Congress began at noon on the Sth.

The value of the exports oi the following commodities exceeded the value of similar commodities exported during the preceding fiscal year ly the amounts named: Raw cotton, $30.1*59,841; provisions, $24,485,020; mineral oils, $4,006,984; tobacco and manufactures thereof, $2,436,- 611; wood and manufactures of wood, *• 2,- 302,932; iron and steel ami manufactures thereof, $1,892,243; live animals, $530,278. The specie value of the exports of domestic merchandise from the United States increased from $-28,398,908 during the year ended June 30,1871, to $SS3,925,947 during the year ended June 30, JSSl, an increase of $455,527,039. This increase was due mainly to increased exports of breadstuffs, provisions and tallow, cotton and manufactures thereof, live animals, leather and manufactures of leather, and wood and manufactures thereof. Increased value of the exports of these commodities during the fiscal year 1SS1, as compared with the fiscal year 1871, amounted to the sum of $374,059,476, and constituted 82.12 per cent, of the increased exports of domestic merchandise. The value of the increased exports of breadstuffs, provisions, tallow and live animals, which together amounted to $322,802,768, constituted 79.5 per cent, of the increased exports of domestic merchandise. These exports were chiefly products of the Western and Northwestern States. The increase in the value of exportation from the United States of the products of the Western and Northwestern States has been largely the result of the reduction in the transportation charges on the railroads, on tho lakes and on the Erie Canal. Such increased exports have, however, been mainly the result of the general extension of railroads throughout the States referred to in connection with the important reductions which have been made in railroad freight charges. Under the stimulus of cheaper transportation, the value of the exports of wheat from the United States increased from •'41,171,229 in 1870 to $107,098,485 in 1881. The value of the exports of corn increased from -rl,2S7,- 575 in 1870 to .150,702,609 in 1881. The value a* K"'\. exports of provisions increased .' fir p, 175,539 in 1870 to *tl51,52,8,20s in 18SlJ.v|l the value of the exports of live anim-W increased from $1,045,(139 in 1870 to $16,412,398 in 1881. The value of the products of agriculture during the last fiscal year amounted to $729.650,0*16. It exceeded the value of such exports during the preceding yesr by $43,088,925, and it was larger than during any previous year 111 the history of the country. The value of such exports constituted 82.55 per cent, of the entire value of the exports of domestic, merchandise fr im the United States. The value of the exports of the productions of agriculture (hiring tbe year ended June 30, 1881, was a'xm. seven times the value of such exports during the year 1880, nearly three times the value of such exports during the year I860, and more than twice as great as the value of such exports during the year 1870. The value of the products of agriculture exported from the United States during the yeais 1830,1810,1S50, 1870 and 1881, re>pect- ivelj, showed a fluctuation of only about thre- per cent, compared to tho total value of the exports of domestic merchandise. This indicates that the growth of the ex- po-tation of commodities other than the products of agriculture—namely: tbe products of manufacture—kept puce with the astonishing growth of the exportation of tie products of agriculture. The total value of the imports of merchandise into the United States during the hist fiscal year amounted to $G42)G('4,628, of which the value of the imports of sugar arid molasses amounted to $03I4')4,28S, ot 14.53 per cent. The vaue of the imports of coffee amounted to $56,784,391, or 8.84 per cent. The value^of the imports of iron and steel and manufactures thereof amounted to $40,439,747, or 7.23 per cent. The vahi". of the imports of silk and manufactures t *jrcof amounted to $43,944,065, or 0.68 per cent* The value of the imports of wool ">*d the manufactures thereof amounted to $40,800,394, or 6 80 per cent. The value of the imports of chemicals, drugs, dyes and medicines amounted to $-6,590,473, or 5.69 per cent, and the value of the imports of cotton and manufactures thereof amounted to -"31.076,037, or 4.97 per cent. The total value of the imports of these seven commodities and classes of commodities amounted to $319,000,895, and constituted 51.30 per cent, of the total value of tho imports of merchandise into the United States. —Letters received in Hartford from the Chinese students recently ordered home say that on arriving jn Shanghai they were sent to confinement in a remote part of the town, the (.overnnient's intention, apj arently, being to examine them as to theiv belief or i-jsbelief ol Christianity before they had a chance to scatter through tho country.

Washington, December 3. The Comptroller ot the Currency, in his annual report, says the recent failure of the Mechanics' Bank, Newark, las called the attention of the public directly to the duties of Bank Directors and of Examiners of National Banks. Sections of the Revised Statutes and by-laws of the National Banks are cited, and the report continues: "The duty of a Board of Directors is plainly defined, and, however innocent they may be of any intention to wrong, thev are responsible for the safety of the funds 'committed to their care. It it can be shown any. of them had notice of illegal transactions, it is a serious question whether they are not legally bound to make good the loss which may occur; and it is a question whether they are not also liable for losses which may occur from neglect of duty, even without notice. If this is not a just and proper construction of the present law, then it becomes a question for the consideration of Congress whether additional legislation upon this subject is not required. The Examiner can have but limited knowledge of the habits and character of those employed iu a bank. If the Teller is making false entries, and daily abstracting the funds of the bank: if a book-keeper is keeping false accounts, aud rendering untrue statements; if the Cashier is placing forged paper among the bills receivable and upon the register-books, and transmitting su.h paper to distant places where it is purported to be payable, it is not possible for the Examiner in a day or two to unravel this evil work, wh.ch may have continued for months, and obtain a cc ect balance sheet. Examinations shou*.v be periodically made by a competent committee, selected from the Board of Directors. They have the whole.resources of the bank at their command, and if they have any reason to suspect dishonesty or fraud, it is their business to investigate thoroughly, and they should employ experts to assist them in so doing. The Directory must continuously look after its own servants. The Examiner looks after the acts of the Directors. The report of the Examiner is confidential. It is for the use of the Comptroller's oilice only, and is in no sense a certificate of the good condition of a bank. In many instances the capital stock of a bank has thus been found to be impaired andthe deficiency been made good without the knowledge of the general public. In other in»tanccs banks have been obliged to pass their usual dividends, using their earning to liquidate.all bad and doubtful debts. The number of banks passing dividends the present vear is 175; iu I860. 230; iu 1879, 304, and in 1878, 343. Hundreds of instauccs occurred annually, and many are occurring daily, wherein banks, under the reports of Examiners, are notified of violations of the act and arc brought under discipline of the law- The records of this oilice show only one among all the Examiners ever appointed who ha. been found guilty of any wrong-doing." Speaking of the Pacific National Bank of Boston the Comptroller says the Directors had full information in reference to the irregular and illegal methods of the bank, Which have since caused its ruin. His letter, in any properly-conducted bank, addressed by him to the Board of Directors, composed, as is the case in these instances, of prominent merchants and business men, should have been sufficient to correct the abuse, and save the bank from the disaster which occurred. The law should certainly be so amended as to make it a criminal offense for an officer of a bank clandestinely to make loans, cither by the use of certificates, as in this case, or otherwise. A considerable part of the report is given to the subjects: "Substitutes for Money,*' "The Prooortion of Bank-cheeks Usi'd,'* from data furnished by Pres.dcut Garfield; "Checks and Drafts in the Principal Cities,'* and the Comptroller says: ■■ It would be an interesting subject for investigation to determine what proportion the checks received by banks in New York City on any given day" represent the operations at the Stock Exchange, and what proportions of these operations represent legitimate, and what speculative, transactions. •' * Report of the Secretary of War. Washingtox, Decomher 2. The annual report of the Secretary of War is chiefly devoted to the consideration of the important recommendations contained in the annual report of the army chiefs. General Sherman's recommendation that the army be increased to 3'',0 )0 men receives Secretary Lincolu's earnest indorsement. The attention of Congress is called to the need of legislation to prevent au intrusion upon Indian lands, especially from Kansas, into the Indian Territory Secretary Lincoln invites special attention to that part of the report of General Wright, Chief of Engineers, which refers to our seacoast defenses, nnd on this subject says: "The Chief of Engineers shows that defense by fortifications and torpedoes is the only one which is at all practicable for a coast as extended as ours, comprising so many rich maritime cities, extensive navy yard's,and depots of supply; that any attempt at any other mode of defense would be enormously expensive, both for first cost and maintenance, and it is the only mode adopted by maritime nations. Experience shows modern wars come on suddenly; that serious international disputes occur between nations the relations of which are apparently most unlikely to be otherwise than friendly, and a condition of readiness for defense and an attitude of belligerency are sometimes the best preventives of actual war. We know that the necessary new works and the proper modifications of the old works will require many years for their completion, and it seems simply a matter of common prudence that we comm 'nee without delay, and, under liberal appropriations, put our coasts ia an effective condition of defense." Referring to the subject of the standard ef requirements necessary for admission to the Military Academy at West Point, the Secretary says: * ■ I concur in the views of my predecessor, that it would not be well to raise the standard of admission. The result of the last examination, in which 49 out of 118 candidates were rejected, shows the standard is so high as to prevent the admission of many who would undoubtedly, if they had been so situated as to receive the proper preliminary training, prove valuable oflicers. It has recently been recommended to me by the Academic Board to permit the discontinuance of certain prescribed studies in the course for the purpose of giving time for others, the importance, of which was apparent. A consideration of the subject suggested by this recommendation leads me to believe it would be best to extend the course so as to cover five years. It is believed that by so doing not only woidd the benefits of tlie academy be more widely extended, but that the graduates would be prepared to render better service to the country." The actual expenditures under the "War Department for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1881, were $42,122,201. The appropriations for 1S82 were $44,889,725, and the estimates for 18S3 call fox* $44,541,276. The estimates presented to the Secretary for revision included, for the armament of fortifications, $220,000; fortifications and other works of defense, $4,180,500; improving rivers and harbors, .29,101,300; improving the Mississippi River by the Commission, 34,'.'_3,000; public buildings and grounds iu and near "Washington, $749,000; surveys taken, $2,000; total, $39,099,800. ''This amount has been reduced on mv revision to an aggregate of $10,089,(100, which sum, if judiciously allotted by Congress, will be, in my judgment, a reasonable allowance for this class of expense during the next fiscal year." __ —While Mr, Gault, agent for a dynamite company, and having a lot of dy J xiamite with him, was breakfasting at a hotel in Australia, a terrible explosion occurred.

A contract with a teacher must toe-authorized at a meeting ofthe District Board; it must he in writing-, and signed by a majority of the Board on behalf of tne district: it must epecify the wages agreed upon, and shall require the teacher to keep a correct list of the pupils, their ages and the number of days each one is in attendance, and to furnish the Director with a correct copy of the same at the close of the school. Contracts must be in duplicate, one of which shall be filed with the Director and the oilier furnished the teacher. 2. The School lawis silent upon the subject ofholidaj-s; but the Supr me Court has decided that there should be no deduction from a teacher's wages on account of the observance of legal holidays. The legal holidays are January 1, February 22, May 30, July 4, December 25, and all days appointed by the President or Governor as days of fasting or thanksgiving. 3. A teacher must be governed by all rules formally adopted by the Board, liefusal to do so amounts to a forfeiture of the contract --unless the rules are grossly unreasonable.; 4. The District Board is bound to keep the school-house in repair, in comfortable condition, with neeess iry conveniences, and a failure to do so works a forfeiture of the contract on its part. 5. A teacher cannot be required to "board tuound," nor can a patron of a school he compelled to board a teacher. A teacher cannot be required to render janitor's services, unless it is so stipulated in tne contract. -flicl-i_-an Items.

He had been feeling ill throughout the night, and by mistake took three drachms of jconite. This was about 8:30 o'clock in the morning. He immediately began to grow very ill and dispatched a messenger to the College. Dr. LaFerte was delivering a lecture when the messenger arrived, and immediately proceeded to Gray's residence.

At 5:30 o'clock yesterday morning, Bays the Stockton (Cal.) Indevendent, as the stage from Sonora to Milton was nearing the Garibaldi mine, ten miles from Sonora, it wa_ stopped by four masked men, who stepped in front of the horses and commanded a halt. The driver Mark Stringham, immediately pulled up, as there was ho other way. The chief of the masks then, without a word, but hy simply waving his hand, assigned his men to their various stations. * One took charge of the driver, two of them attended .to the passengers and the chief held himself as a reserve for purposes of jdunder. Everything being thus arranged, the three passengers were ordered to dismount, hie to the rear and stand with hands behind them and with backs toward the stage. The driver asked if there was anything of his they wanted. The chief said: '•_*Tq; the drivers on this line are all •fine fellows, and I would rather give them something than take anything from them." • Just then a second thought seemed to strike the knight of the road, and he said, laughingly: "Iguess I'll search you; you may have a revolver and might get mad. and try to use it." The driver was unarmed, hence he was not molested further. The robbers then with a sledge hammer broke open two of Wells, largo & Co.'s iron-bound chests and their iron safe and rifled them of their contents. The amount taken was not ascertained, but is thought to be heavy. . Having finished the safes, the robbers •turned their attention to the passengers, who had been left standing as ordered out. After seeing how much money each had they returned it to him. John Mundorf & Son, merchants of Sonora, had in the coach §500 in gold dust, which was in Avith their lunch and was lying on the bottom of stage. This fell into the robbers' hands. They also took $40 from young Mundorf, but on his asking them for some money to help him go on, the robber gave the $40 back. The young •man ha'd.also-a S100 greenback on his . person, which they overlooked. ; While all this was going on, Mr. ' Stringham, the driver, was growing impatient, and called out to the chief to hurry np, as he (the driver) did not wish to miss the Milton train. The chief said, "All right." He then asked what time it was, and was told 5:*30. At this he said: "Go ahead, I'm ■ttrrough," shook hands with the driver, wished the passengers a pleasant good- morning, and, with a *'ta-ta," skipped with the balance into the woods* and disappeared. When the stage reached Milton, Sheriff Thorn was there. He found the third passenger to be booked for A_an'sville,W!th a through ticket from Sonora. This man he soon persuaded to accompany him back to the scene of the robbery, and the two started at ,onee with fleet horses, and the Sheriff 'said he should commence pursuit at once.

Mrs. Jones has a rich brother in California who lately intimated to her that he would make her a visit, and the other night when Jones went home he found the house all in a commotion, and the brother expected by the evening train, so he fixed himself up with a laudable desire to make a good lirst impression on the rich brother-in-law whom he had never seen. "Howdoes he loo!*?'' he inquired of Mrs. J., as Ire stood at the hat-rack adjusting his side whiskers. "Real stylish,'* answered Mrs. J., whose idea of rich relatives were somewhat vague, "he will probably have on a seal-skin ulster and a white felt hat with a broad rim—all rich Californian-s dress that way—and he is very handsome; they always said at home that he favored me," concluded Mrs. Jones, modestly. "Buthe must have changed some in a dozen years," hazarded Jones. " Oh, he has probably grown stouter and more portly; he was tall aud slender then, with lovely chestnut hair; we always said Sam was wasted on a farm, and so he was. He met with a banana —bandanna."

The Guiteau Trial.
Ouiteau was taken directly to the witness-
box on the opening of Court on the 3-tb. ult.
and resumed his personal reminiscences. He
narrated his experience in the lecture field.
He onee trie-lto lecture against B;>bIngersoll,
who was trvins* to prove the non-existeijee of
a bell, hut found that people were very ready
to pay fiftr cents to hear that there was no
hell, who wouldn't pay a cent to hear that there
was. He identified his revised work, "Truth,"
and read an extract therefrom descriptive of
the trials of the Apostle Paul in endeavoring to introduce Christianity. Witness
c'amedthat he had had as rough a time as
ever Paul had. Witness then detailed his efforts to secure employment as a Republican
..camt-afgn .speaker, and said ho was on free

had nothing whatever to do with the removal
of thePresident. 'Xh-.'t was aa act of inspiration,
and was done as a political necessity. His
mind was taken possession of by a superior power. He acted oatside of himself.
'.•"[Witness then desired to read from a printed
slip, elucidating the subject more at length,
but the District-Attorney objected, and the
Court sustained the objection. Continuing,
Guiteau sad tbat, after Conkl-ng's resignation, he thought that, if Garfield were removed, the party trouble" would cease. In a
lo might's time thxt thought had become a
fixed • evolve. The removal became necessary to save the Nation from ruin.
The Lord employed witness as the instrument of removal, Irifcause He always
employs the best material. He added: '-The
Lord uses the best means for His work, and He
has provided all these guards, the
Jury and these experts to do Hi
preserve me." The witness then briefly recited the incidents connected with the shoot-
ia-_* ar.d his subsequent arrest. He believed
President Arthur was a friend, for he made
him Presideut, but he ha 1 never asked a favor
of him, and he didn't believe he ever should.
"Witness owed about ?1,*'0J. and if Bennett, of
the New Vork Hrrnbl, sent him the I5-0.X)
he hud aslcel him for, he would be able
to pay ail bills and have something

He then said that he wishe.l i o say something

not know anything afcout her, but she had no

fairly entered upon.

Thats Hillmans. I was there on the 4th of Feb. It had just avalanched a day or two before. We climbed up the lower portion of it and looked around a bit before taking the Sherbie back down. The runout and debris was amazing. It was a HUGE slide.
From the MWN Avalanche Center:
Very good weekend discussion hereThe big winds at the end of the weekend moved all the snow waiting above treeline into eastern aspects creating a large avalanche cycle. This forced Hillman's to throw down the royal flush as the big winner of this season's avalanche contest. Hillman's has demonstrated that after a several year hiatus it certainly can produce the big run when forced to play its hand. The avalanche it produced during Sunday night into Monday was the largest avalanche it has generated in decades! Many, many, many trees upwards of 80 years old were snapped off in a split second and some of which were ripped up from their roots. This event has dramatically affected the landscape in a way rarely seen by another natural event in our mountains in such a rapid way.
Not all slide paths avalanche every year. In fact, it may be decades between avalanches. It appears that this years' snowpack is producing slides that haven't been seen in a generation. And the main contributing factor is not total snow, its the way it was deposited.

Farmer's Wife—Lessons Learned In Week 6
Then along came the Broken Dishes block, resulting in unpleasant flashbacks to Birds In the Air. And I thought, no, I simply cannot and will not template another 32 triangles. So I pieced them like I usually do with HSTs. And you know what? Birds In the Air (templated) came together a lot better and more easily than Broken Dishes (not templated). My points just aren't aligned as well as they could be in this most recent block. And I'm not sure my method resulted in much time savings anyway, since I still had to trim the HSTs.
So once again, I'm convinced that the templates really are the way to go. This block is a pain no matter which way you do it—I might as well do it the "real" way, right? In the future, I really will stick to templating. Cross my heart this time. No more short-cuts.
I used the templates on this week's other block, Broken Sugar Bowl (what's with all the broken things this week?), and I'm really happy with this one.
Here's the thing (and it only took me 6 weeks to figure this out): When I use the templates, I've found that the vast majority of the work is in the cutting. These blocks generally don't take more than 15 or 20 minutes to piece, once the cutting is done. Something I have to keep in mind when I'm tempted to get lazy about those darn templates.
20 comments:
Your blocks are looking really great. I have not used the templates since my first attempt at Block 1. I have been using a combination of paper-piecing and freestyle. Glad you are finding a method that works best for you.ReplyDelete
I'm really loving the colors of all your blocks. I think your Broken Dishes block is my favorite so far.ReplyDelete
I completely agree about using the templates. In the end, I think my triangles look better when I use the templates, but they are a pain!ReplyDelete
Yours are beautiful! I love the colors you're using!
Looking great Lee!ReplyDelete

What's with all the broken things this week? The blocks in the book are in alphabetical order. :-)ReplyDelete
BTW . . . either Marti Mitchell or EQ7 generated templates with "engineered" corners are even more FABULOUS for blocks that will come together well.
I have to get back to my quilt - I have the first 14 blocks done I need to prep another 3 or 4 today so they will be handy.ReplyDelete
Love the colors you are using on your blocks.
I'm right there with you - the templates are a pain, but they do make sense in the end of things! I love how your blocks are looking, and I see more of that sketch fabric that I'm swooning over in your blocks - yum! I especially dig your Broken Sugar Bowl thing (and seriously, where did these names come from!).ReplyDelete
Your blocks look great! I'm actually enjoying the templates, just for a change. At least I'm not always second guessing my measurements like I usually do.ReplyDelete
Agreed! I so want to resist those darn templates just on principle, but really, my blocks always come together when I use them! <> anyways, your blocks look great!!ReplyDelete
Templates with engineered corners are marvelous, yep. All the broken things - maybe the Air Force moved you from Florida to Colorado? My poor friend is in the middle of unpacking the most disastrous move I've heard of. :/ReplyDelete
Love the Broken Dishes! I keep putting off starting this because I Hate templates. Well, I guess I have never used a template, but I sure am convinced that I hate them. :)ReplyDelete
They look great!! Some of those blocks with the tiny triangles have just kicked my butt!!!!! : D HA!ReplyDelete
Your blocks are gorgeous. They colours remind me of an ice cream parlour (or maybe I've just got ice cream on the brain - it is rather hot!).ReplyDelete
you're too hard on yourself....both look perfect to meReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your dos and don'ts with us... I'm taking mental notes as I plan to start this sometime in July or August :)ReplyDelete
Love the newest broken dishes block tho, the colors are fabulous together!
I think both blocks look wonderful!! Good job!!ReplyDelete
I was determined to use the templates as well. Mostly to keep in the "spirit" of the FW. But then last night I wanted to squeak out just 1 more block and I didn't have the template ready. But it was the bowtie block, surely I could do that without the template. Um, or not. The bouquet block with funky angles turned out perfectly (using templates), and I had to take the bowtie block apart to redo it b/c it was so bad!ReplyDelete
Your blocks are so pretty! :)
I totally get this. I was trying to "work" ahead for my Farmer's Wife Friday posts, and there was a block with rectangles. Rectangles don't need to be templated do they? Um, yes they do. Because one of the measurements was kind of funky. After trying to figure out the problem (thinking it was the triangles) and tearing it apart (twice!!), I am now remaking the whole block. With templates.ReplyDelete
I've been using the templates from the beginning. I knew it was going to be more work but it would be worth it at the end. So far so good and since there really is not time line on completion, templates are the way to go.ReplyDelete
More gorgeous blocks! I just LOVE your color combinations! I'm planning to make a little girls' ruffled jacket using a mix of red and turquoise fabrics.ReplyDelete

Hi Everyone, I wasn't sure if I should ask this question in the open forum or here, I chose here.
I am looking to buy myself (or get a gift from Santa... ) a new camera. I would like a point and shoot type one because I hate the one I have now, I constantly have to turn the dial and figure out which setting to use.
From what I have read here Anna, John (Happy Hiker) and Mark Truman all use a point and shoot, and each one takes AMAZING picutres.
One of them have a Cyber-shot? DSC-H7 digital type, but I don't remember which.
Any help is appreciated....

- Can never have too many bandanas.
- Rating
It's a little pricy for a bandana, but c'mon it's Duluth Pack, you know you want two. Being off while it's great for making trail coffee. Just tie up your grounds in the bandana, bring water to boil in your pot/mug, and take the water off the heat and add the bandana for 5-8 minutes. Easy as pie. Or coffee cake.

Taking the underspin concept to the next level, the Lucky Craft Blade Cross delivers the flash and vibration of a spinnerbait to lure bass in, along with the profile and sight appeal of a rip bait to get them to commit. An excellent search bait, it also excels when burned over grass or slow-rolled around structure. Like all Lucky Craft lures, it features premium components, including super sharp treble hooks, and it also has the added benefit of Lucky Craft's lifelike and realistic hardbait colors and detailing. Another innovative, high quality lure from Lucky Craft, the Lucky Craft Blade Cross is available in a range of proven color combinations.

Comments: First evening went out for 1/2 hour caught a fall fish. The next day went out for a couple hours caught a Walleye, 2.5lb Large Mouth and a Small mouth Bass. Next day went out for an hour and caught 5 15" bass. First time using any kind of hard bait.
From: Ron: Milford, PA
Comments: Body action is non-existent, the blade spins well though. I bought the chrome version and did get a 50"+ musky to my boat with it (bent hooks and all) but didn't have a net large enough to seal the deal. The wire and body stood up well to the teeth with no noticeable damage.
From: John: Ontario, Canada 4/15/14
Comments: This is a revolution wrapped up in one lure. Everything that this swims in front of what to destroy it. This is magic and everything I put this in front of smashed it smallies,largemouth,walleye,musky,northerns and even whitefish to my surprise. I love this thing to death! Slow roll it burn it everything works and my clients love it to thanks again Lucky Craft for another gem!
From: Unknown: USA 4/1/14
Comments: October 13 2013 lake Charleston Canada myself and 3 friends were fishing a weedline they were catching largemouth I was picking smallmouth here and there with a jackall wacky rigged worm They started catching perch I put on the blade cross in perch color 5 cast 5 smallies cast out two jerks downward one or two cranks fish on. the teeth marks on the head and two inches down a grat lure caugt a total of 20 fish using the blade cross on and off for three days.In 2012 field and stream voted this lure number one with 17 bass caught on it during their one day test with their pro fisherman google it.this bait is tremendous for going over weeds.the water this year in that lake was gin clear so I went down to 8 pound flouro with 70 t0 80 foot cast now I am today one day later buying more colors you want some viscious strikes by this lure you be happy you did.tackelwarehouse is responsible for 90 percent of all my bass. good fishing guys.
From: Rchard: MOUNTAINSIDE NEW JERAEY
Comments: Has a great paint job, hooks, and blade but the action is not good. I tried twitching it and it just spins around and the blade goes crazy. MIGHT just MIGHT be ok for cold deep water but not for where I am fishing and $17 is crazy.
Comments: caught two smallmouth on a 84 degree day; cloudy; that weighed over three pounds apiece. Was impressed with this bait to say the least. Will be buying another, as I lost it on he next outing because I didn't check my knot when I tied it on.
From: Chuck: Clintondale ,NY,USA
Comments: I found lure to have excellent action once I learned to fish it properly,I caught several nice bass unfortunely while trying to make a low cast under a dock I let the lure hit my trolling motor.the trolling motor won,I'm now ordering more of these lures in different colors.
I think this is going to be a excellent go to bait.
From: Jerry: Gallatin,Tn.U.SA.
Comments: I personally have fished this, it's not that great. Give people a break, might save you $17 in the process.
Comments: Great bait work good for small and large mouth with aggressive strikes. Use a 5:1 to ratio if possible creates perfect action.

Cherokee Indians

Part i: An overview
Cherokee Indians once occupied an area encompassing approximately 140,000 square miles that became parts of North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. The Cherokee thrived in North Carolina well into the late eighteenth century, but as Euro-American settlers steadily moved into and near Cherokee lands, sharp conflicts arose between Cherokees and whites and between Cherokees themselves, as leaders with competing claims to speak for the tribe secured treaties and formed other agreements with white settlers that were not acknowledged by all Cherokee people. In 1838-39, the U.S. government forcibly removed the Cherokee from their lands in North Carolina, leading them on the infamous Trail of Tears to the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). A small number of Cherokee people successfully resisted removal, however, by claiming North Carolina citizenship and by maintaining the right to remain on lands they owned. These people and their descendants were recognized in 1868 by the federal government as the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. In the early 2000s these Cherokee, living on the Qualla Boundary in the western part of the state, were the only Indian tribe in North Carolina fully recognized by the federal government. The tribe has more than 13,000 enrolled members.

Avid Juicy/BB7 Disc Brake Pads $28.00
This rectangular pad set, enough for one brake, works with all of the Juicy hydraulic brakes and the cable-operated BB7.
Since you never want to ride metal on metal, it's always good to have two sets of pads around, so you don't need to hustle to find pads when you suddenly realize you need to replace your old pads the Friday night before a big weekend of riding. Included in the kit are two pads and a spreader spring for one brake. Choose organic or metallic compound.
- Organic brake pads: quieter but wear out faster than metallic; better modulation, less power
- Metallic brake pads: noisier but last longer than organic; less modulation, more power

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
if you buy these, it means two things: you ride a lot and your pads last a while. both are good things, and one of the reasons I stick with juicy and bb7s for all my bikes. Easy to rack up 10000km without having to change pads, and the number can triple on the road. Pretty easy to change with just some pliers which is nice in the field.

The Electric Car Era:Thomas Davenport built the first American electric automobile in 1834 and by 1890 they were a popular form of transportation. However electric cars disappeared when John D. Rockefeller successfully encouraged Henry Ford to use gasoline engines so he would have a market for his oil products. - More

The Vintage Car Era:The Vintage Car Era followed World War I, when there was an abundance of factories, material and equipment and men in need of work. The Vintage Car Era ended in 1946 when the Great Depression and World War II halted vehicle production. Vintage cars spearheaded innovation in the automobile industry. - More
The Classic Car Era:The Classic Car Era began in 1947 following World War II. Classic car production was driven by consumer demand for bigger and faster cars with more accessories. Classic cars thrived due to cheap gasoline and good roads, until pollution control laws and gasoline shortages stymied performance engines in the early 1970s. - More
Hot Rods & Roadsters:Hot rods came about when back-yard mechanics discovered how much fun it was to customize discarded Model T Fords. Hot rods are custom built vehicles with high performance engines and unique drivetrains and suspension systems. When you remove the top from a hot rod you have a 'roadster'. - More
Muscle Cars:Muscle Cars are a product of the Classic Car Era, when improved roads and the 'baby boomer' generation called for more speed and power.
