—The “relic” fever has caused con -idera
ble damage to portions of Ford’s theatre in
Washington, where Booth killed Mr.Lincoln.
That portion of the stage carpet upon whi.h
Booth leaped from the President's box has
been cut away for a diameter of four feet.
The latest “manifestation” of the relic fever
is that of a visitor who went into the saloon
attached to the theatre, and a-ked the bar
tender : “Have you the same bottle on hand
out of which Booth drank on the night of
the assassinatiog ?" “Yes, sir.” “And the
same braudy 41. it ?” “Yes, sir.” Can I
have a drink or the snme brandy out of the
same bottle?" “Ye 9, sir." “Let’s have it.’*
The victor tastes the brandy, makes s wiy
face, and continues :—“And that a the same
brandy that Booth drank?” “Ye9,-sir.’’—
“Well I don’t wonder that he killed the
President. A drink of that brandy would
make a man kill his grandmother.” r
—A German thus describedfian accident:
“Vonce, a long vile ago, I went iutos mine
abble orchard to climb a bear tree to get
some peaches to make mine vrow a plum
pudding mit; and ven I gets to de t«ber most
branch, I vail irom the lowermost limb, mit
von leg on both sides of the fence, and Mkh
to stove mine outside in.”
Equally lucid was Aiynheer Yan Dunk’s
account of his ascent of the Alleghenies.
Said he: “I vas going up der mountain mit
myself, ven my foot sblipped himself on der
ice, and I coomed down der mountain, on
der proad of mine pack, mit mine face stickla
in der mut, and dare I stbood all der times.”
—On Tuesday of last week a large black
bear, belonging to the Agricultural Museum
of the State Normal Schools at Ypsilauti,
Mich., broke loose, and in the attempt tore
capture him one ot the students was attack
ed and horrible mangled before assistance
could reach him. The bear could easily
have been killed, but it was desired to keep
him as a specimen in the Zoological Depart
ment of the State Museum. Ue showed
great ferocity to the whole human family,
and for a long time refused to go to his quar
ters, but finally followed a tame “grizzly”
into an icehouse.
Asa precedent for the rapidity with which
execuiion followed sentence, in the Conspi
racy Tiiaf, the case of Bellingham, the mur
derer ot Mr. Percival, is cited. He commit
ted the crime late in the afternoon, Monday,
May 11th, 1812. His trial was on at the Old
Bailey on Friday, the 15lh ; be was at once
found guilty, and was executed at 8 o'clock
on the morning of Monday the 18th—a full
week from the date of the fatal deed not
having expired.
—A friend of ours, dtoo Is a clerk In a mer
cantile establishment, relates a colloquy from
which a sprightly youth in the same store
came out second best. A poor boy came
along with bis machine, inquiring, “Any _
kuives or scissors to grind?" “Don't think
we have,” replied theyouDggentleman, face
tiously, “but can’t you sharpen wits ?"
“Yes, if you’ve got any,” was the prompt re
tort, leaving the interrogator rather at a lost
to produce the article.
—While some of the oil enthusiasts were
prospecting in Venango county, they discov
ered the foundation of a house which must
have been built there some years ago by the
French. Over the walls stood tbs stump of
a chesnut tree, two feet in diameter. Near
the bouse was a kettle cut out of a solid
rock, which evidently had been used for
smelting metals, either lead or silver, which
is supposed to abound iu that neighborhood.
—Another plesiosrurus has been discover
ed in Dorsetshire, England. This fossil,
though not so perfect as ihe magnificent one
acquired by the British Museum last year, is
yet a remarkably fine specimen, aud, being
m stone, is in good preservation. Portions
of the skeleton have been submitted to Prof.
Owen, who has pronounced them to belong
to an undescribed and unnamed species.
—President Lincoln gave bis opinion of tbs
•Fremont party last fal, by turning to Ist
Samuel, 22:2, and reading : “And every ona
that was in distress, and every one that was
in debt, and every one that was discontented,
gathered themselves unto him : and be be
came a captain over them; ana there was
with him about four hundred men.”
In Chicago they have a kil lug machine.
An enormous iron hand, with five terrible
claws, books out the unsuspecting pig 9 from
tbeir pens, hoists them to a gibbet near by,
where they are slain without benefit of cler
gy, and then plunged by the same means in
to scalding water. This porcine guillotine
“finishes” fifty pigs an hour.
—The old story of E-au and his birthright
has been repeated in Virginia. A rebel offi
cer sold the original secession ora law nee of
that State to Sergeant A. S. Twitchell, 7th
Maine Battery, for a lunch of bread and
butter.
—A Presbyterian church in Edinburgh is
shaped like a fan; at one end it is forty feet
in width; at the other, one hundred and
sixteen feet wide. The aisles radiate (mm
the pulpit, which is at the narrow end, ilka
the spokes of a wheel. The seats are arranged
in three tiers, one tier being nine ieet above
the other.
—The Empress Euenie, during her short
regency, in the absence of the Emperor at
Algears, awarded the rank of Cbevuller of
the Legion of Honor to Mile. Rosa Booheur,
the admirable painter of animals ana land
scapes.
“X think you must allow,” said a .pom
yous gentleman, “that my jests are very*
fair.” “Sir, your jests are like yourself”
was the quick retort, “their age makes then*
respectable.”
—The latest Chicago notion, according to
the Tribune, is “an Anti-stink Association,”
the members of which pledge themselves to
combine against, prosecute and extinguish
the insalubrious wretches who produce the
innumerable lively stinks now prevalent in
that city.
—There are two hundred and eighty cot
tages at Newport. Those not owned by the
occupants rent for from one to five thousand
dollars a year. The handsomest one is toe
property of August Belmont, the banker,
and cost fifty thousand dollars.
