VOLUME XXXIII,
JOHN WILKES HOOT 11.
After a lnpHe of twelvo yearn, there are still
those who doubt that John Wilkes Booth, tho
ARBAHHia ol Lluoolu, suffered death tor bin great
crime, and to“Hettle" them no lens than for gen
eral information we publish the following story
of Captain Oliver P. Leslie,an old friend of Lin
coln, aud now a resident of Pittsburg, who has
told it to a reporter of that city.
Oaptain Leslie was one of tho earliest friends
of Mr. Lincoln's youth, and it so happened that
he was in the vicinity of Ford's theatre on tho
night when he received his death wound, and
was one of the few who had reached the door
w hen the president was brought out on his lit
ter and carried across the street to Bennett's,
where he died. Oaptain Leslie says that he had
often seen Booth act in Cincinnati and at other
points,and had boarded with him at the Metrop
olitan Hotel, iu Wauhington, for weoks belore
the close ol his career. In tho corridors of the
hotel ho frequently saw Booth put his hands in
to his box-ooat pockets aud pull them out filled
with gold, exolaiming: "I have made two thou
sand dollars iu 'lie' speculation and I will strike
a lead in less than a month that will bring me
in a millionThis was about ten days previous
to the assassination, and Captain Leslie says
his attention was attracted to tho oiroumstance
by its repetition aud by subsequent events.
From his provious knowledge of the man’s per
sonal appearauco, he is positive beyond doubt
that the dead body of John Wilkes Booth, which
was brought from the scene of death by Colonel
and Lieutenant Baker, was on the monitor Mon-
tauk at 5 o’clock on the morning alter he was
killed by Boston Corbett, aud that it remained
there under guard fur about forty-two hours
thereafter. After the body was placed on the
boat, a guard of six naval officers, of whom
Captain Leslie was one, was sent to watch it.
Captaius Leslie aud Willoughby were in the
sume relief, aud served two hours on and four
hours off while the body remained on board the
monitor. While these men were stuuding guard,
the multitude was allowed to view the body,
passing on to the stern of the Montuuk by a
bridge of scows, and at the bow in the same
manner, after lookiug at the remains Jor a lew
seconds. Among these were many persons who
had known Booth more or less iutimalely, in
cluding about 300 actors. The Captaiu relates
the iustunce of a large, fine-looking man,having
the appearance of an army officer, who in pass
ing placed the palm of his hand on tho lore-
head of the dead asHussiu,uud invoked the most
frightful imprecation on the soul of the departed.
During the time the body lay on the Moutauk
several propositions were made for the final dis
position of the body, which were voted upon by
the five hundred oroue thousand officers aboard.
Of those Cuptain Leslie remembers but two or
three ot the more remarkable. One was that
two ol the wildest steeds that could be obtaiued
should be harnessed together aud ohuiued to
Booth’s heels aud taken to the Bladensburg du
eling ground,and there turned loose to run until
the body was dragged to pieces. A gentleman
who had the appearance of a foreign officer pro
posed that a tower should be built from three
hundred to four hundred feet high, aud that
thereon should be placed u cauldron iu which
the body should lie until it was washed away by
tho sun and storm and destroyed by tho birds
ol' the air.
It was also suggested that this tower bo lett
standing for ages as a memorial ol the infamous
deed ol the murderer. These and other propo
sitions were rejected, and it was finally agreed
to deliver the body to the two Bakers who cap
tured tho traitor, to bo disposed of in such a
manner as they might bo directed. The body,
which at the end of the forty-two hours it had
lain on board the Moutauk was iu ua advanced
state ot decomposition, was accordingly given
into the custody ol the Bakers, who were re
quired to take the following outu belore taking
it iu charge:
“You, gentlemen,already being officers of the
United States, do swear that you will take the
dead body cl John Wilkes Booth,and dispose ol
it iu a manuer known only U yourselves, aud
that you never will communicate to ttuy one the
whereabouts or disposition ot the body, either
by words,signA,hieroglyphics,or any other mau-
ner.and that you will not talk of it to yourselves
lest you be overheard.”
The oth having been administered by tho pro
vost marshal, Captain Stone, addressing the Ba
kers, added “aud not desecrate loyal soil with his
body.” The remains were then taken a way,and
their disposition is of course only a matter of
speculation; Captaiu Leslie, however, is of the
impression that they were sunk in a lake about
twelve miles in width and forty to sixty feet in
depth, seven rnileB below Alexandria, Virginia,
kuown as the “Alligator Pookets.” He states
that about two hundred pounds of hawser chain
was on the deck of the Montauk near the body
at the time lie stood watch, and he is of the
opiniou that this was afterwards used to sink
the body in the “Alligator Pockets.” In confir
mation of this theorj', Captain Leslie states that.
Murphy, who served us a pilot with Lieutenant
Baker for twelve years, aud knew that the lat
ter had thoroughly measured the water in this
lake when shooting alligators, said that he knew
the body was sunk in those waters.

“By Jupiter! these are lovely nights. Noth
ing Mars the serenity of the pcene,” exclaimed
young Jones the other night os ]ie Saturn the
porch, ueath the silvery rays of the crescent
moon, with his arms around the wai6t of his
Venus. But when the old woman opened the
window,above them, and turned a pitcher of
water on their devoted heads, thqy thought they
had encountered Neptune. She simply remark
ed to them as they started jpr the gate, “Here,
come baok 1 You canuot comet over my daugh
ter in that milky way.” Jones retorted, “Uranus
off, and I’ll be banged if I come back till I
get ready,” and his girl took his arm and he
started off with a speed like the messenger Mer
cury, and silence reigned once more. The old
lady says she will planet differently next time.
HOW HU KNEW,
As a funeral cortege was making its way
along tho crowded streets the other day a boot-
black called to a companion:
“Hey, Jack, what big gun is dead now?”
“'Taint no rich folks,” replied Jaok as he
looked down the street.
“’Tain’t, eh 1 Well, juBt look at them twenty-
eight hacks I”
“That’s what I was looking at—-That’s how I
know it’s some common man. Kioh folks don’t
keer what folks say, but poor folks hez big fun
eral processions to deceive the publio.”
The London Truth says: There is no cut-
and-dry receipt for a gentleman: but be is bl
unmistakable to those who know one as the color
of a flower or the soent of a leaf.”
A veteran shopkeeper says “though his clerks
are very talkative during the day they are always
ready to shut up at night.
“Who wouldu’t be an editor?” asks an Indi
ana paper. “You wouldn’t,” replies an Illinois
exchange, “if you tried a hundred years.”

HELLER AND THUS HACKMAN.
RARE FUN FOR A COMPANY OF SHOW PEOPLE.
Whon Holler, tho magician, arrived in this
city on Friday last, he directed the bookman to
drive him to tho Parker House. Hunching the
hotel, he stopped briskly up to the olork’s desk,
and was soon surrounded by a host of friendB,
including Dr. Tompkins, ol the Boston Thea
tre, Arthur Cheney, Henry O. Jarrot, Frauk
Ohaufrau, and a dozen others. Amid the hear
ty greetiugs came rt rough voice which Boon at
tracted general attention.
It appears that the hackman hadn’t been
paid.
What is it, ray good friend; what are yon
yelling to mo about?" demauded Mr. Ilellor.
'I wants me fare. I saw you skip away.
Two dollars for you and your lady.”
This answer created a laugh among the ma
gician's friends.
T know I paid you, you rsscal,” oxclaimed
Mr. Heller.
Divil a oint."
You put it in your hat Hand it to mo 1”
and to the consternation of Jehu there was a
bright, dean two dollar note taken from the lin
ing of his cady and held up to the gaze of the
rapidly increasing crowd. Cabby stood trans
fixed with wonder.
“I am afraid of your future, my poor follow,
and advise you to alter your course,” interrupted
Mr. Jarrett.
“Bo virtuous and you’ll be happy,” was the
advice of Mr. Cheney.
This after all our boasted New Eugland civ
ilization aud moral advancement!” added Mr.
Chanfrau.
'If this thing should get abroad 1” was Dr.
Touipkln’s alarming exclamation.
'Think ot yonr wife and children.’ Repent
ere it be too late,” was the kindly toned propo
sition ol Mr. Heller.
“Look here,gintlemin,this is all good enough,
aud yez Lev me tanks. But may I never see a
sixpence again but I wasn’t paid, aud that bill
I niver saw before in all my born days. I didn’t
have a cint about me;” and the indiguant hack-
man slapped his hands on his coat pocket.
“You have no other money on your person ?”
demanded Mr. Heller.
“No !”said the driver, anhesitatlhgly.
“Wlnit’s this, and this, aud this?" inquired
the magician, as he delicately pulled a bank
uote, first from the poor cabman’s side coat
pocket, then one from his coat cuff,aud unothcr
Irom a boot top. “My friend,” continued Mr.
Heller, iu a tone softened by swelliug emotions,
while the crowd moaned with excess of sorrow
over the sad exhibition of human depravity, “you
are not yet lost, but you are on the briuk of
ruin. We all feel for you,don’t we,gentlemen I”
and groans came iu response.
“Look here, me friends," cried the hackman,
“this here thing’s played out. I’m not the
orst man in the wurld," when,to his utter hor
ror, the magician interrupted him to take from
his coat pockets, hat, trousers, aud bool tops
mly greenbacks and plenty ol silver coiu,
but pens, blotting paper, matches, blank cards,
d the general invoice of stationery usually to
be fouu'i on a hotel desk.
Man, who are you, anyhow?”*cried tho poor
fellow, us he crossed himself,and commenced to
back out.
“Harkshaw, the detective !” shouted Jarrett,
he struck au altitude.
“Ny name is Norvall,” replied Ain Heller.
“Tih Clifford’s voice, if ever Clifford spoke,”
added Air. Cheney.
am my father’s spirit, ” groaned Mr. Chan-
li'au. Aud by this time the perturbed driver
had reached tho street, shouts of laughter fall
ing on his car,and with another surprise await-
iug him. Mr. Heller had placed a $5 note iu
the man’s vest pocket.
A LIGHT IN TUB WINDOW*
BY JEAN INGELOW.
Off the coast of the Orkney Islands, and right
opposito the harbor, stood a lonely rock, against
which on stormy nights, the boats of returning
fishermen often struck und were lost.
Fifty years ago there lived on this island a
young girl in a cottage with her father; aud
they loved eacn other very tenderly. One stor
my night the father was away on the sea with
his fisherman’s boat, aud, though his daughter
watched for him iu much fear aud trouble, he
did not come home. Sad to tell, iu the morn
ing his dead body was iound washed upon the
beach. His boat, as he sought the harbor, had
struck against the “Lonely Rock” aud gone
down.
In her deep sorrow this fisherman’s daughter
did not thiuk of herself alone. She was scarce
ly more thau a child, humble, poor, and weak;
but she Btiid in her heart, that while she lived,
no more boats should be lost on that “Lonely
Rock,” if a light shiniDg through her window
would guide them salely into the harbor. And
so, after watching by tho body of her father,
according to the custom of her people* until it
was buried, she laid down and slept through
the day, but when night fell, arose aud lighted
a candle, placed it in the window of her cottage,
so that it could be seen by any fisherman com-
iug in from sea, and guide him Bafely into the
harbor. She sat by the caudle all night and
trimmed it, and spun; but when the day dawn
ed, she went to bed und slept,
As many hauks as she had spun before for
her daily bread, she spun still one over, to buy
her nightly candle; and from that time to this,
for fifty years, through youth, maturity aud old
age, she has turned night into day, and in the
snow storms of wiuter, through driving, mist,
deoeptive moonlight and solemn darkness, that
northern harbor has never been without the
light of her candle.
How many lives she saved by this oandle,
and how many meals she won by it to the starv
ing families of the boatmen, it is impossible to
say. How many dark nights the fishermen de
pending on it, have gone forth cannot now be
told. There it stood regular as a light-house,
steadily as constant care eould make it. Always
brighter when daylight waned, the fishermen
had to keep it constantly in view and were
safe; there was but one thing to intercept, it,
and that was the Rook. However far they
might have gone out to sea, they had only to
bear down for that lighted window, and they
were sure of a safe entrance to the harbor.
Bat what do the boatmen and the boatmen’s
wives thiuk ot this ? Do they pay the poor wo
man ? No; they are very poor; but poor or rich,
they know better than that. Do they thank
her ? No. Perhaps they think that thanks of
theirs woald be inadequate to express their grat
itude; or perhaps long years have made the
lighted easement so familiar, that they look
upon it as a matter of oourse, and forget for
the time the patient watoher within.

Ready fur churoli on tho morrow, you know;

Says, "God keep them ever irom going his wav."
HOW JAY GOULD TRAVELS.
Not long ogo, a reporter waylaid a special
train which was transporting Jay Gould aud
Sidney Dillou out west ou their annual tour of
inspection ol the Union Paoifio and its branches.
He fouud one of these Railway princes in one
of the latter-day combination cars, which serves
for bleeper, drawing-room aud diuing car. Mr.
Gould had with him a short hand-secretary aud
telegraphic operator. Mr. Dillon ouly his short
hand secretary. Air. Gould explained to the re
porter that every hour iu the tweuty-four wheu
absent fiom New York he wasiu communication
with friends and brokers of that city. His tel
egraphic operator had all the necessary in
struments attached to one of the tables in the
car, with ground aud connecting wires running
through one panel ol the cur. Ou arriving at u
terminal station, Mr. Gould notified his friends
iu New York upon whut line he would be the
next twenty-four hours. Hhonld they desire to
communicate with him the dispatch was direct
ed to the cure ol the truiu dispatcher of that
road, who upou its receipt, knew just whore Mr.
Gould’s special was, and dropped the message
down one station in advance. The reporter at
that station would signal the special tl'ain aud
deliver the message. Upou its receipt the spe
cial would immediately pull out, aud Mr. Gould
consider aud digest the message. It it ueeded
oply.ho would dictate to his short-haud assist
ant, who would trauslate tor tho operator.
Wheu the reply was ready the engineer would
be 8igualled, the train stopped, aud in two min
utes the main wire would be hauled down,cut,at
tached to the iustrumeut, aud the message
wending its way to New York. To twist the
wire together, let it up, aud start the train was
ouly the work of another minute. Mr. Gould
kindly added that he used his private signature,
which insured right of Way for his messages,
which were always iu cipher.

Some medical students in one of the colleges
of this city, dissecting a female subjeot a few
days ago, found what is called iu dootors’ par-
lauoe a “corBet liver.” When tight lacing has
been practiced through several years, a perma
nent dent or hollow is produced in the liver,
whioh may be seen very plainly after the woman
is dead and her liver dissected out. This kind
of liver oocura so frequently in women that
physicians have given it the ns me of “corset
liver.” In the subjeot mentioned the hollow in
the liver was large enough for the wrist of a
grown man to be laid iu it. Young ladies who
don’t want their livers put into the newspapers
and made un example of after they are dead,
would better take warning.—Cincinnati Commer

A bailie of the Scottish capital recently went
down to London,aud curne back much impressed
with the courtesy of the officials. Narrating
how au M. P. had secured for him free access
to many publio institutions, he reached the cli
max of eulogy by exclaiming: “Why, sir, begot
me a blank caitndge for every place iu Loudon.”
It is supposed that the magistrate mount a carle

A poison, deadly in effects, known as sugar
of lead, enters largely iuto the composition of
the so-called Hair Restoratives of the present
day, aud many cases ot death have resulted
Irom their use. Dr. J. Newton Smith’s Hair
Restorative does not restore color to the hair,
but restores hair to the scalp, henoe it does not
contain nor need any poison. Note this fact,

It is a faot well established by unquestionable
testimony that Hall's Hair Renewer renews,
oleanses, brightens, invigorates and restores to
its original color and lustre, faded gray or dis
colored hair, oheap[y,quickly aud surely. The
poorest people prefer to buy it aud use it,rather
than to proclaim in a mrnner more foroible than
words can delineate, through blanched locks or
grizzly beard, that they are aged aud passing to
decay. A very short trial will oonvinoe the most
skeptical that it doeB eradicate the souly diseases
which rob the hair of its oolor and life. For

NOW AND THEN.
It is only now and then that such men as
Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and
Ex-Gov. Brown of Ga,, endorse a medicine for
the throat and lungs, and when they do it is
pretty good evidence that the remedy most be
good for the on re of coughs, colds and lung aff
ections. They recommend the Globe Flower
Cough Syrup, and their testimonials are to be
seen round the ten cent sample bottles of the
Globe Flower Syrup, for Pale by Bradfield &
Sledge. A sample bottle relieves the worst
cough and will cure sore throat. Regular size
bottles, fifty doses, $1. 46-ly
A VERY GOOD REASON.
The reason why only one sample bottle of
Morrell’s Hepatine lor the liver will be sold to
the same person for ten cents, by our druggist
Brad field &, Sledge, is because of the enormous
expense of importing the Hepatine into this
country; but as there are fifty doses in the large
size bottles,it seems two cents per dose is oheap
enough after all for a medicine that onres dys
pepsia and liver oou plaint. All who have not
had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten ots.

relieves any case of dyspepsia, constipation, in
