THREE PER CENT.
Washington dispatches report that the Senate Finance Committee are unanimously in favor of Sherman's bill for the issue of 3-per-cent bonds, to be redeemable after five years, but with amendments reducing the amount of such bonds from $300,000,000 to $200,000,000. The original bill reads as follows:
That the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to receive at the Treasury, and at the office of any Assistant Treasurer of the United States, legal money of the United States to the amount of $50, or any multiple of that sum, and issue in exchange therefor an equal amount of bonds of the United States of the denominations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000 and $10,000, of such form as he may prescribe, bearing interest at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, payable quarterly or semi-annually at the Treasury of the United States.
Such bonds shall be exempt from all taxation by or under State authority.
They shall be payable at the pleasure of the United States after January 1, 1887, the order of their payment to be determined by law, or, in the absence of such legislation, by the rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The money deposited by this Act shall be promptly applied solely to the redemption of bonds of the United States bearing 3½ per cent. interest, and the aggregate amount of deposits under this Act shall not exceed $300,000,000.
The amendments of the committee are:
(1) That the amount shall not exceed $200,-000,000, and (2) that the amount of deposits shall not at any one time ex-
GUITEAU'S STATEMENT.
New York, Dec. 18.—The Star prints the following written statement from Guiteau:
To the National Associated Press: I have been requested to review my trial and give my opinion of the men who are doing it. In general I am well pleased with the trial, especially with the Court and jury. Judge Cox I consider just the man for the case. He is able, conscientious and careful, and is disposed to give wide latitude to all parties. I think he believes in my idea of inspiration, and he is a high-toned churchman, and therefore, is disposed to do absolute justice to the Deity and myself. Without the Deity's pressure the President never would have been removed. The pressure destroyed my free agency. The Deity compelled me to do the act, just as a highwayman compels a man to give him money, after placing a pistol at his victim's head. The victim may know it is absolutely wrong for him to give the money that his wife and children need, but how can he keep it, with a pistol at his head? This irresistible pressure to remove the President was upon me for thirty days, and it never left me when awake. It hainted me day and night. At last an opportunity came, and I shot him in the Baltimore and Potomac depot. I would not do it again for a million dollars. Only a miracle saved me from being shot or hanged then and there.
THE EXODUS FROM EUROPE.
During the year which ended with June 699,431 immigrants arrived in the United States. The number of foreigners who sought homes in the republic during those twelve months was, therefore, greatly by from twenty thousand to forty-five thousand than the whole population of Connecticut.
The arrivals for the year far exceed even those for 1873, when the largest immigration of the past occurred. The total then was 459,803. For the last year it was more than two hundred thousand greater.
Yet even this unparalleled immigration pretty certain to be cast into the shade since the beginning of July the arrivals each month have much exceeded those corresponding months of 1881, and these indications are that when we reach more active months for immigration next spring we shall find them still increasing.
That is, it is probable that the number new settlers from abroad landed here between July 1, 1880, and July 1, 1882, will be hard on one million and a half. A few more years of immigration at a rate so rapid will rapidly swell the population of the far Western States and Territories to which the foreigners chiefly tend, so that by 1890 the number of people living beyond the Mississippi is likely to be double what was in 1880.
They shall be payable at the pleasure of the United States after January 1, 1887, the order of their payment to be determined by law, or, in the absence of such legislation, by the rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The money deposited by this Act shall be promptly applied solely to the redemption of bonds of the United States bearing 3½ per cent. interest, and the aggregate amount of deposits under this Act shall not exceed $300,000,000.
The amendments of the committee are:
(1) That the amount shall not exceed $200,-000,000, and (2) that the amount of deposits to be received shall not at any one time exceed $25,000,000. Of course the bonds must bring par in gold or legal money of the United States. It will test the question whether or not money is so abundant in the United States or anywhere, that capital can be induced to invest in a 3-per-cent bond for so short a time as five years at par. British 3-per-cents are perpetual, and though they are now quoted at a quarter to five-eighths per cent. above par it is the first time in many years that they have gone that high. The usual quotations are from 95 to 98. The exemption of these bonds from State and municipal taxation makes them equal to a saving of 2 per cent., which is about the average rate of State and municipal taxes on money, and therefore equal to a private bond bearing 5 per cent. interest. As fast as they can be sold the cash received for them will be used to call in the 3½ per cents, which were issued by the Government redeemable at call. The saving in interest on the $200,-000,000 would be the one-half of 1 per cent., or an aggregate of $1,000,000 a year. Should this limit be rapidly exhausted it will establish the fact that a 3-per-cent bond can be floated at par; and the limit may be extended by another Act to an amount sufficient for the refunding of all the 3½ per cents outstanding, which would result in a saving of about $3,000,000 a year in interest. Should the new bonds fail to be taken at par no harm will be done. The fact will have been demonstrated that the 3½ per-cent bonds are the best we can do. There is not, probably, much capital in the United States willing to invest in a 3-per-cent bond for so short a time as five years, but in some parts of Europe, where 3 per cent., or even 2½ is satisfactory, there may be, considering the high standard of American credit. The bill, or one having its chief features, will probably become a law.—S. F. Chronicle.
Everybody knows what an umbrella is, and can tell of what it is constructed; but few are aware how large an industry is represented in the stick of this useful and generally missing property. An official estimate, made in September last, in Kingston, Jamaica, showed that there were a little over 500,000 sticks awaiting export to England and the United States to be made into umbrella handles. These sticks were almost without exception pimento, and it is not surprising to be informed that owners and lessees of pimento walks are becoming able to give him money, after placing a pistol at his victim's head. The victim may know it is absolutely wrong for him to give the money that his wife and children need, but how can he keep it, with a pistol at his head? This irresistible pressure to remove the President was upon me for thirty days, and it never left me when awake. It haunted me day and night. At last an opportunity came, and I shot him in the Baltimore and Potomac depot. I would not do it again for a million dollars. Only a miracle saved me from being shot or hanged then and there.
It was the most insane, foolhardy act possible, and no one in his right mind could have done it, but the pressure on me was so enormous that I would have done it if I had died the next moment. I had no power to prevent it. The President was surrounded by his Cabinet and personal friends, and 200 or 300 people were in the depot. No one but a madman would think of assaulting him under such circumstances. If I had not been instantly hurried away by the police, I would have been shot or hanged in five minutes. The Lord protected me then, as he has on three other occasions since July 2nd, when I have been assaulted. The gradual way the Deity removed the President is a confirmation of my original inspiration. I am well satisfied with the Deity's conduct of this case thus far, and I have no doubt but He will continue to father the act to the end, and that the public will sooner or later see the special providence in the act.
I have an unusually bright jury and I wish them to pass on my case. I judge they are honest, conscientious and careful. They listen with the greatest interest to the testimony and addresses, and no doubt they will give this case their most solemn attention and dispose of it according to the facts and the law, and I presume that the high-toned, conscientious press of the nation will acquiesce in their verdict. Mr. Corkhill has introduced certain witnesses who are guilty of rank perjury. Some of them I have known nothing of for years, and care nothing about. Their perjury has been so manifest and wicked that it has excited my wrath and I have denounced them in plain language. I shall also show their iniquity in rebuttal by my testimony and that of others. I have denounced the District Attorney for the mean, deceptive way he has conducted the prosecution. My opinion of him is well known, and I decline to notice him here. Mr. Davidge is supposed to be a high-toned lawyer and a fine gentleman and I am well pleased with his connection with the case. Judge Porter I knew years ago, when I practiced law in New York. I do not admire his style. He is too venomous in examination. He is supposed to be a good lawyer.
The defense has been unfortunate in having insufficient counsel. Mr. Scoville has done well, considering his inexperience in criminal matters. He and I differ as to the conduct of the case. He lays too much stress on hereditary insanity. It is not the shape of one's head or hang of the tongue, but the spirit that tries to manipulate a man to give him money, after placing a pistol at his victim's head. The victim may know it is absolutely wrong for him to give the money that his wife and children need, but how can he keep it, with a pistol at his head? This irresistible pressure to remove the President was upon me for thirty days, and it never left me when awake. It haunted me day and night.

Everybody knows what an umbrella is, and can tell of what it is constructed; but few are aware how large an industry is represented in the stick of this useful and generally missing property. An official estimate, made in September last, in Kingston, Jamaica, showed that there were a little over 500,000 sticks awaiting export to England and the United States to be made into umbrella handles. These sticks were almost without exception pimento, and it is not surprising to be informed that owners and lessees of pimento walks are becoming alarmed at the growth of a trade which threatens to uproot, in a few years, all their young trees. The export returns for the past five years show that an average of 2,000 bundles of sticks has been sent out of the island annually in the ordinary course of trade, and the returns for the first three-quarters of 1881 show an export of over 4,500 bundles valued at $15,000. When it is remembered that each bundle contains from 500 to 800 sticks, each of which represents a young bearing pimento tree, the extent of the destruction may be realized.
VIENNA, December 17.—The official report of the Ring Theater disaster says that the Chief Engineer asked two policemen at the main entrance of the theater whether there was anybody within, and received the reply that the whole audience left safely. This statement was apparently confirmed by the fact that no persons were seen at the entrances of the building. Men of the Fire Brigade subsequently made their way to the galleries, but the air was suffocating, and it was impossible to penetrate the passages, as the torches went out for want of oxygen, and the firemen were unable to breathe. The report expresses the conviction that the audience died speedily from suffocation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14th.—A debate on Woman's Rights sprung up in the Senate this afternoon from the opposition of Vest (Dem.) of Missouri to the creation of a special committee on that subject. Vest said that he regarded it as a step toward Woman Suffrage, to which he was opposed. Hear (Rep.) of Massachusetts replied in an animated strain, reciting the oppressive laws of the past regarding women, the advance in public sentiment on the subject, and the propriety of the Senate's taking a special supervision of the matter.
CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—A Washington special says: Would-be assassins of Guiteau continue to appear. The photograph of a man named Utteby, who is said to have left Nebraska a few days ago to come here and assassinate the assassin, has been received by the authorities. Notice has also been received that the Molly Maguires of Pennsylvania have been detailed to rid the jury of their responsibility. The attempt is to be made on the 21st. A package addressed to Guiteau, opened yesterday, was found to contain a piece of rope.
The statement comes from Washington that the President has determined to appoint no more women to office. This determination is qualified by the statement that it is not intended to apply to positions in the Departments, but only to the Postoffices and Pension offices. The reason given for this intended change is not very lucid. It is said "that the Postoffice Department has had a great deal of trouble as the result of appointing women to office, and that such appointments have caused a good deal of dissatisfaction in the party."
DETROIT, Dec. 17.—August Alberts, of Harbor Springs, and wife, while temporarily absent from their house, left two young children, who set fire to some shavings and were burned up together with the house.
The defense has been unfortunate in having insufficient counsel. Mr. Scoville has done well, considering his inexperience in criminal matters. He and I differ as to the conduct of the case. He lays too much stress on hereditary insanity. It is not the shape of one's head or hang of the tongue, but the spirit that takes possession of one that makes them sane or insane. The science of spiritology is more important in this case than craniology, although craniology may have an important bearing on it. Mr. Scoville nurses his fool theory as tenderly as a mother would her infant. I expected two or three first-class lawyers on the case, but we have been forced to go on without them.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—The resolution Representative Robinson, which he souls to introduce yesterday, recites that the late to the English flag at Yorktown was without the authority of Congress, and was done at a time when England was suspending habeas corpus, suppressing public meetings and crowding her jails with honors; gentlemen unaccused of crime, some of them American citizens and others chosen for honored representatives in Parliament; their own people; therefore be it resolved that we extend our sympathies to those priests and members of Parliament suffer imprisonment under unheard-of despotism. The salute of the British flag is declared be insulting to the memory of the brave man who a hundred years ago pulled it down hoped it would never be raised again American soil, etc.
Among the alleged aspirants to the publican nomination for Governor are Lester Taber, Horace Davis, Irving M. Scott, W. Morrow, C. N. Felton, J. Mc M.Shares and George S.

ODUS FROM EUROPE.
The year which ended with last full immigrants arrived in the USA. The number of foreigners homes in the republic during months was, therefore, greater than thousand to forty-five thousand, whose population Maine or not.
Is for the year far exceeded for 1873, when the largest immigrant past occurred. The total is, 803. For the last year it was two hundred thousand greater.
This unparalleled immigration is to be cast into the shade by fiscal year in which we now are. Beginning of July the arrivals of have much exceeded those for leading months of 1881, and there that when we reach the most for immigration next spring them still increasing.
It is probable that the number of from abroad landed here be, 1880, and July 1, 1882, will one million and a half. A few of immigration at a rate so unil rapidly swell the population eastern States and Territories, foreigners chiefly tend, so that number of people living beyondapi is likely to be double what it

Perhaps there are perhaps only five hundred underment; but whatever may be the is conscious that nowhere else victim prison could so many human with so little to interrupt the repose. In the same number taken from the ordinary world, she slight sounds arising from allowing on indigestion—perhaps reminiscence troubling the cone question whether the strong or payment of that bill were not instances slightly harsh, or some bribing recollection; there might boy thoughts and dreams creative pass.

For deaf mutes she has 31 asylums for the blind, 31; for lunatics, 39; and for epileptics, 11. Her total is 176. France ranks next after her with 70, and England next with 65. Russia has only 18.
A eucalyptus planted near Mentone in 1869 had a high of fifty feet and a diameter of forty inches at three feet from the ground in 1874. It is strange that a tree which has such marvelous absorptive powers should be the special product of the driest of countries, its chief original home being, it seems, Australia.
Few persons ever thought of Michigan as a semi-tropical State. But there is a strip of Michigan along the lake shore where figs grow and thrive out-of-doors, and where peaches, plums and grapes come to maturity in good season. It is stated by a Michigan paper that last year the shipments of these fruits from this portion of Michigan amount-

Judah P. Benjamin, the Queen's counsel, is said to be the wealthiest practitioner in England. His law office is a shabby back room, furnished with two chairs, a table, a few musty law-books, and an army of ink-bottles. His clerk's room adjoining, though plain, is furnished with princely splendor in comparison with the den of the great barrister. He gives away great sums in charity, while his personal expenses are almost nothing.

In conversation with one of Stockton's most celebrated physicians yesterday, it was learned that diphtheria, which has been prevalent at Farmington, was gradually abating. Said the medical man: "I have practiced medicine for thirty years, and I have never lost a case of diphtheria yet, when called in proper time. Give the patient plenty of lime or lemon juice. Give it any way that is palatable. Squeeze out the juice, sweeten it with white sugar, or give it as lemonade, or give it clear; but give plenty of lime or lemon juice all the time. It will not interfere with any other mode of treatment, and will, if followed, effect a cure, and the public ought to know it."—Stockton Independent.

An examination of the Delta of the Mississippi shows that, for a distance of about three hundred miles of this deposit, there are buried forests of large trees, one over the other, with interspaces of sand. Ten distinct forest growths of this nature have been observed, which must have succeeded one another. These trees are the bald express of the Southern States. Some have been observed over twenty-five feet in diameter, and one contained 5,700 annual rings. In some instances, too, these huge trees have grown over the stumps of others equally large. From these facts geologists have assumed the antiquity of each forest growth at ten thousand years, or one hundred thousand for the whole. This estimate however, would not include the interval of time—which doubtless was very considerable—that elapsed between the ending of one of these vast and wonderful forests and the beginning of another.
The proposition that delegates from Alaska should be admitted has caused some injuries touching the population there. Professor Elliott, of the Smithsonian Institute, puts the population at 30,000, of which 400 are whites, 1,700 Russian half-breeds, and the remainder Indians. Presuming for minerals has not indicated any great value. The timber will be very valuable in today; also the fisheries, when developed. The fur trade is the sole means of livelihood for the people. The Government revenue from the fur trade was $317,000 last year.
