.loim Wilke* Booili.
After a lapse of twelve years, there
are still those who doubt that John
Yv ilkes Boothe the assassin of Lin
coln, suffered death for his great
crime, and to settle them no less
than for general information, we
publish the following story of Cap
tain Oliver P. Leslie, an old friend
of Lincoln, and now a resident of
Pittsburg, who has told it to a re
porter of that city.
Captain Leslie was one of tho ear
liest friends of Mr Lincoln’s youth,
and it so happened that he was in
the vicinity of Ford’s theatre on the
night when he received his death
wound, and was one of the few who
had reached tho door when the pres
ident was brought out on his litter
and carried across the street to Ben
nett’s where he died. Captain Les
lie says that he had often seen Booth
act in Cincinnati and at other points
and had boarded with him at the
Metropolitan Hotel, in Washington,
for weeks before the close of his ca
reer. In the corridors of the hotel
he frequently saw Booth put his
hands into his box-coat pockets and
pull them out filled with gold, ex
claiming, “I have made two hnn
dred thousand dollars in ‘ile’ specu
lation and I will strike a lead in less
than a month that will bring me m
a million.” This was about ten days
previous to tho assassination and Cap
tain Leslie says his attention was at
tracted to the circumstance by its
repetition and by subsequent events.
From bis previous knowledge of the
man’s personal appearance, lie is pos
itive 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 Montauk at 5
o’clock on the morning after lie was
killed by Boston Corbett, and that
it remained there under guard for
about forty-two hours thereafter.
After the body was placed on the
boat, a guard of six naval officers, .of
whom Captain Leslie and Willough
by were in the same relief, and serv
ed two hours on and four hours off
while the body remained on board the
monitor. While these men were
standing guard, the multitude was
allowed to view the body, passing
on to the stern of the Montauk by a
bridge of scows, and off at the bow
in the same manner, after looking at
the remains for a few seconds.
Among these were many persons who
had known Booth more or less inti
mately, including about 300 actors.
The Captain relates the instance of a
large, line-looking man, having the
appearance of an army officer, who
in passing placed the palm of his
hand on the forehead of the dead as
sassin, and invoked the most fright
ful imprecation on the soul of the de
parted.
During the time the body lay on
the Montauk several proposition
were made for the final disposition
of the body, which were voted upon
by the five hundred or one thou
sand officers aboard. Of these Cap
tain Leslie remembers but two or
three of the more remarkable. One
was that two of the wildest steeds
that could be obtained should be
harnessed together and chained to
Booth’s heels and taken to the Bla
donsburg dueling ground, and there
turned loose to run until the body
was dragged to pieces. A gentleman
who had the appearance of a foreign
officer proposed that a tower should
be built from three hundred to four
hundred feet high, and that thereon
should bo placed a cauldron in which
the body should lie until it was wash
ed away by the sun and storm and
destroyed by the birds of the air.
It was also suggested that this tow
er be left standing for ages as a mem
orialofthe infamous deed of the
murderer. These and other propos
itions were rejected, and it was final
ly agreed to deliver the body to the
two Bakers who captured the traitor,
to be disposed of in such a manner
as they might be directed. The
body, which at the end of the forty
two hours it had lain oil board the
Montauk was in an advanced state of
decompositon, was accordingly giv
en into the custody of the Bakers,
who were required to take the follow
ing oath before taking it in charge :
“You, gentlemen, being already
officers of the United States, do swear
that you will take the dead body of
John Wilkes, Booth, and dispose of
it in a manner known only to 3’our
selves, and that you never will com
municate to any one the whereabouts
or disposition of the bod} T ANARUS, either by
words, signs, hieroglyphics, or any
other maimer, and that you will not
talk of it to yourselves, lest 'you be
overheard.”
The oath having been administer
ed by the provost marshal, Captain
Stone, addressing the Bakers, added*
and not desecrate loyal soil with
nis body.” The remains weie then
taken away, and their disposition is
of com se only' a matter of specula
tion ; Captain Leslie, however, is of
tiie impression timt they were sunk
in a lake about twelve miles iu width
and forty to sixty feet in depth, sev
en miles below Alexandria, Virginia,
known as tiic “Alligator Pockets.”
He states that about two hundred
pounds of hawser chain was on the
deck of the Montauk near the body
at the time be stood watch, and lie
is of tlie opinion that this was after
wards used to sink the bodv in the
‘Alligator Pockets.” 111 confirma
tion of this theory, Captain Leslie
states that Murphy, who served as a
pilot with Lieutenant Baker for
twelve years, and knew that the laU
tei had thoroughly measured the wa
ter in this lake when shooting alliga
tors, said that he knew the body was
sunk in those waters.
Kentuckians and Henry Clay.
Indianapolis Journal.
The allusion of Henry CUiy made
by the President and other speakers
at Louisville, eliciting wild applause
from the crowd, show how strong a
hold that remarkable man had on
the affections of the people. It is
doubtful if any other American
statesman has oyer been regarded by
his followers with such enthusiastic
admiration, or has ever held them by
such close personal tics as the great
Kentucky commoner. The memo
ries of Washington and Lincoln arc
indeed more geneially revered, but
they were exceptional cases.
C lay was essentially a partisan leader
and an unsuccessful one at that: yet
the men who followed his banner
still regard those days as the proud
est of their political lives, and their
hearts still warm and their eyes fill
with tears as they recall the gallant
leadership of Harry of the West.
His personal magnetism was a source
of great power to him, and contrib
uted in no small degree to iniluence
by which he impressed himself and
his ideas on American politics. Its
lasting quality is shown by the en
thusiasm which now the mention of
his name evoked in a Kentucky audi
ence, and for that matter we are not
sure but the same is true of other
States as well.
Blaine on Hayes’Title.
[From the Brooklyn Union.]
Watiiington, October 18.—Sena
tor Blaine said to-day so far as the
title Alexander Stephens accords to
Hayes is concerned, the simile is pe
culiar. “Mr. Stephens,” said lie,
“says Mr. Hayes holdsliis office by
a better title than George Washing
ington did, because Mr. Hayes was
put there by the highest judicial
tribunal ever formed in this coun
try.” “That reminds me,” said Mr.
Blaine, “of an old fellow up in Maine
who ran for office and they charged
on the stump that he had been in
dicted for villainy of some kind. The
candidate answered in his own be
half that the other candidate made
a great blunder in making the charge
Ho admitted the indictment, and
and pointed to the fact that he had
the verdict of twelve jurymen to the
effect that 110 was an honest man,
while his opponent had never been
indicted, and consequently could not
Live such a recommendation for the
suffrages of the people.”

WOOLLEY’S
Opium Om*e.
(Concluded.)
"Wc append some extract from the press concern
ing him ;
Mr. B. M. Woolley, for many years a prominent
business man in Selma, now of Atlanta, Georgia,
advertises in to-day’s paper his Opium Cure, which
has been subjected to auidysis and examination by
the B*ate chemist of Georgia, Dr. Land, who unre
servedly pronounces it superior to any other reme
dy offered for the terrible disease for which It is re
commended. Mr. Woolley is a gentleman of great
intelligence and high character, to whom opium-ea
ters may address themselves with the assurance
that he w ill neither violate their confidence, nor un
dertakon their treatment unless he believes he can
effect a cure.—Southern Argus, March 3,1879.
Mr. B. M Woolley is a gentleman of high stand
ing in the community, and of unimpeachable vera
city.—Marietta Journal, April 10, 1874.
Mr. B. M Woolley advertises in another column
a cure for opium -eating. This medicine has under
gone a thorough analysis by Dr. Land, State chem
ist, who unreservedly pronounces it superior to
anything yet offered for that terrible disease. Mr.
Woolley is a citizen of Atlanta whoci we have known
long and intimately. He is a gentleman of intelli
gence and high social position, is honest in purpose,
prompt in execution and reliable every way. Opium
eaters may address Mr. Woolley with the assurance
that he is too high-toned to abuse their confidence,
and too conscientious to undertaken a cure where
there is no hope of any Sunny Sonth, March 10,
1877.
Mr. B. M. Woolley is a gentleman in every sense
of the term.—Christian Index, Atlanta, Ga.. Sep
tember 17, 1876.
As an evidence of Mr. Woolley's perfect fairness
and independence iu the matter of his remedy, we
append a letter that he was writing to a correi>on
deut while we were in his office. It is worthy of
transcription here :
[This was a letter I was writing, and did write, in
reply to one from a narty who it seemed, was being
influenced by that some friend or physician told
him, marc than l>y tho jjooJ effects <.f th rented r,
which he admitted was good. He, in his letter of
the 2v*tli, had requested me to tell him whethf r the
remedy had auy morphine or opium iu it, or to be
caudid with him aud tell him iu contideucc what it
had in it he would never say anything about it, etc.
That he must know this before be would receive a
a bottle (second supply) he ha-1 ordered.
I say this much in explanation, as the letter Was
not intended for publication, nor was the name of
the party addressed given to the reports r or anyone
else. He tk<B reporter thought it a letter suited to
his purpose, ard one worthy of publication, and 1
iurnished lnm a copy, leaving off address, etc. I had
read him the letter us a direct reply to questions he
had seen fit to propound.]
_ B. M. Woolley.
Pear Sir—\ our favor of the 2Cth inst., and also
one of the 2Sth last, just received, are before me.
Tho nature of the contents bear strange contrast.
In the one you give a favorable account of the action
of the Antidote or Cure upon your friend ; while m
the other, it is intimated, though not explicit}* ex
pressed or defined, that it is having quite a contnuy
effect. Colonel, I try to be caudid iu my business
with my fellow-men, and am, no doubt, too libcial
in many cases to be stricth, just to my self-iuter
esf.
I saw from your report that he had continued to
use spirituous liquors while using the Antidote, iu
direct opposition to postive instructions. I felt so
annoyed at this that 1 had not prejiared any more
cine for him ; hence his discontinuance will not dis
commode me materially. Ido not wish or intend
to prepare any more without a more perfect and
positive understanding between us. If he thinks
he knows better how to treat the case than I do,
then it is better for himself, as well as for me, that
he spend no more money on luy remedy. I want
no one’s money for nothing, nor can I encourage
any one to spend his money with me, if he has phj s
ieiau friends at home who, with the patient’s co op
eration, can tell him better than I can, what is best
and what is best, for him to use to get well. I want
no trilling iu the matter. I cannot afford it, nor
do I think it best, for either party. If your or his
physician friend knows so well what is iu the rem
edy, or what should or should uot be in it, theu
why not get him to treat the case, and not me ! I
am sure 1 want no patronage from those who doubt
my integrity or tho efficiency of my cure. As to
what arc the contents of the remedy, made of com
bination, process of treatment, or cure, this is, of
course my secret, which has cost me a large auiouut
of money, as well as many days and uights study to
perfect, and hundreds of dollars aud numerous ef
forts and test to establish. On this point I would
refer you and your friend matter. My cxpetience
lias long since taught me that it results in no prac
tical good to be any more explicit upon the subject
than 1 have been in the printed matter I furnish
to the public. If you should tell a mau it had no
opium iu it, the next question he would probably
ask, has it no caffeine* If no caffeine, has it calabar,
beau or stratum ilium ! If uot these, has it liyos
cyatmis ! if not liyosoyamus, or any of the above,
theu what has it got in it ! Bow this is about the
result of such a course. Aud whatever was or hud
been my replies, he would still most likely, believe
what his previous prejudices inclined him to, or
what some physician guessed or said it contuiued
front smelling or tasting It : or what some old wo
man, perhaps, was sure it had in it, as she could
tell from the taste, color, etc. Of course, wliat it
is, my Secret. But whether it is a humbug or a
scientific preparation oue calculated to accomplish
the end aimed at, or uot these are the questions I
concede -r claim are the oues the public (the afflic
ted, at least, should be most directly interested iu.
And so answers to these I begin, not by giving some
obscure or unknown man or doctor’s opinion, on the
subject but by giving my whole secret to your State
Chemist, supplying him with all the facts iu re
gard to the remedy, which without such facts, it
would be out of the power of analytical chemistry,
even, to discover, as many vegitable compounds are
Mot in the scope of analytical chemistry. I give him
these aud those, all the particulars ; lie then ana
lyzes the whole remedy, finds the various ingre
dients, as stated by me and as science proved them
to be. 11c then makes some of the preparation,
and sees it thoroughly tested. And gives the puto
lie the enclosed certificate. He docs uot nor do 1,
tell you what it has, or has not in it. But he does
tell you that which is far mere important and thut
it is compounded iu a scientific manner, aud is a
perfect cure for the opium habit, when the direc
tions are duly observed by the patient : and he, un
der these circumstances, recommends it to the pub
lic without hesitation, I theu give and can give ma
ny more if necessary, what a few say of its action
upon themselves. Among these are ladies and gen
tlemen, physicians and ministers. Physicians who
have not only witnessed its action upon other, but
some who have tested it upon themselves as well.
Many of those will permit me to refer to taein pri
vately, parties interested, who will not allow the use
of their names to be published. I also give some
evidences of who I am, as stated by those who have
known me from boyhood up Now, has any doctor
or opium antidote manufacturer, or others who pro
tend to cure the opium habit, ever given, or do they
propose to give such an arroy of real evidence of
the virtues of their remedies or modes of cure ? If
they have or do lam not cognizant of it. Who of
them have ever submitted their remedies for ana
lytical tests and official testimony
If such eviden -es as all these tacts combined are
not satisfactory to you and your friends, or other
parties who may be interested in the su -ject, I am
at a loss to know how to satisfy, and beg to be ex
cused from further discussion of the subject Hut
if Ido prosent my remedy fairly, and my proposi
tion as to terms suit you and your frier and, and he
w ill agree to follow directions, if he is truly in ear
nest aud wishes to be cured, and not merely to bo
experimenting and vaguely guessing at the contents
of the remedy, then I would be pleased to serve, not
otherwise. But if he expects to do only as lie thinks
for the best, and to be disturbed aud influenced con
tinuously by the suggestions of this physician or
that iriend ; ii he proposes to become more drtft
wood, drawn aside by ever y litt’e eddy, or tossed
here aud there, as influenced by this one’s and th t
one’s opinion, or like Mark Twain in curing a cold,
to take all remedies every old woman or physician
suggest, then 1 beg to be excused from having any
thing further to do with the cose—do not wishes to
have myself mixed up in any such nonsense. If,
also, his object is mere scientific research, and he
simply wishes to learn the ingredients of this rem
edy, its nature of combination, etc., he will a*'ain
please excuse me but if he wishes to be cum! of the
opium habit, and will follow directions perfectly, I
will take great pleasure in curing him, as I have
others. The use of spirituous liquors must be aban
doued while using the antidote if the party wishes
to be cured, and avoid unnecessary trouble expen so
aud danger. But enough. Should be pleased to
hear from you and your friends, who you shall have
received Hiis and duly considered its contents lte
spectfully,
Milk a* a Beverage.
He is a philanthropist who will de
vise some method of supplanting
with good, pure, fresh milk the com°-
mon use of alcoholic beverages; who
shall furnish the average individual
with a glass of wholesome, nutritious
and satisfying drink like milk, in
stead of the delusive mug of beer or
ale. Why should a tavern, or a vic
tualler or a saloon, be devoted exclu
sively to the sale of intoxicating
drinks ? Why not provide and sell
a nutritive beverage instead of one
almost wholly stimulating? Thirty
two gallons of beer cost the saloon
keeper from eight to ten dollars ; the
same quantity of pure country milk
can be iaid down at his door for six
dollars ; if he must charge ten cents
per glass for his ale he can make a
similar profit on lus milk by selling
it at five cents per glass.
Are there not thousands of men
who would drink the milk in prefers
cnee to beer, if the former was pro
\ i .led under attractive conditions and
within reach of their daily walks?
Offered for sale in well appointed
and respectable shops, would it not
be a popular drink for women and
childicn ? Again, milk is the cheap
est beverage known, with the excep
tion of water, and would serve the
purposes of nutrition, as well as of
assuaging thirst. Four pounds of
milk will furnish as much nitrogen
ous matter as 158 pounds of the best
English beer or porter. The nutri
tive value of milk in sustaining life
is ten times that of beer Milk con
tains all tne elements of food requir
ed by the young, and with slight ad
ditions, all that adults need for sus
tenance. In many countries, as in
Switzerland, it is the chief diet of
he peasantry, and everywhere, if eas
ily obtained, it is largely consumed.
Seventy-six per cent, of the laboring
classes in England make use of it :
in Wales the average consumption
by farm laborers is four and one
quarter pints weekly. In Scotland
six and one-quarter pints and in Ire
land it re Che'S six and three-quar
ters pints. In fact, throughout Eu-
rope the use of milk is more exten
sive than in this country.
Enterprising individuals who will
open such establishments for tho
sale of milk as a beverage, on a liln'-
rul scale, in gixnl situations, with a
supply direct from tho producet’s
dairy, without the manipulations of
city milkmen, cannot f-ul of aeiiiot
mg success. The location, general
appointments and attention must bo
fully equal to that of the rumsliops
in order to draw from the patronage
of the latter If the conqietition of
the milk saloons should finally in
duce the army of barkeepers to in
clude pure milk among their list of
drinks, a vast good would thereby be
accomplished. Many city jieople
have never had the privilege of drink
ing a glass of pure milk, and a more
intimate acquaintance with such an
article might induce a larger con
sumption, to the immediate ]>erson
l advantage of the consumers as
well as affording and extended pat
ronage to the producers of milk.

careful consideration. —Ex
NO. 45.
Washington l,clicr.
Washington, Oct. 29.1577.
The beginning of anew session of
Congress is always the occasion of the
revival of a great mass of business that
for various reasons has failed iu preced
ing Congresses, the prescut one is no ex
ceptiou and clerks are busy from morn
ing to night searching tiles, examining
records, and endorsing petitions.
People who memorialize Congress have
learned by long experience that there is
no virtue like persistency in pushing a
claim. Some ot the Pills to be brought
up agaiu this session arc wrinkled and
yellow with age. Will the law makers
handle them any more tenderly on that
account. Others come up crisps aiul
new, but under their fair and innocent
exterior lies a long train of cousequen
cos that will not be brushed aside by
simple yea or nay.
'i he Improvements of southern bar"
hors, particularly the Mississippi Riv
er clearage, that will be urged this win
ter are of vital importance to the Com
mercial cnterests of the entire country.
The Congressman has been enjoying
himself the last week. Pimlico Paces
and other attractions have had great in
fluence on the .Sessions of Congress they
have been few and far between, howev
er great bodies move slowly and the
even balancing of the political parties
in the House contributes to the inertia.
Speaker Randall lias been a long time
making up his Committees, and until
they are chosen no important business
can be transacted.
The House fills up the interim when
in session by discussing the Colorado
case. Among others, Harrison of Ills,
has spoken eloquently in disproving the
claim, while Gcn’l Garfield of Ohio, vig
orously defends it. It is confidently l>e
lieved that Fernando Wood will be
Chairman of the Ways and Means Cora,
Atkins of appropriations. Panning of
Military affairs Hutton of the District,
and Cox of Banking and Currency.
In the Senate the La-case drags
along slowly. It is said that Sen. Mat
thews of Ohio is making ready to at
tack the Civil Service Reform when the
nominations are brought forward to be
confirmed. Some personal friend of
bis, who stood high in the last Ciy. Ser.
examination received no appointment,
while many are constantly slipping into-
Oflice within even goiug through any
form of examination, should this lead
to au investigation of the investigation
in the Interior Dept, it will lie a wheel
within a wheel. Mr. W. E. Curtis, cor
respondent of the N. V. Graphic and of
the Chicago Inter-Ocean aroused the
wrath Sen. Matthews the ether day by
sending to the former paper a state
ment to the effect that tlie gentleman
from Ohio spent some time here last
winter expecting to be called into service
by the Election Commission. At its
close he presented a heavy bill of expen
Bes to the Republican Committee that
was finally paid by Secretary Chandler
out of his own pocket. The Senator de
nies the story while the correspondent
says that the can prove it.
Twenty-eight Pages were needed at
the Capitol aud 1500 lads presented
themselves as applicants for the places.
The mania for investigation spreads like
the Small-Pox without distinction of
age or se::, even the little pages of the
House were brought before the Par,
Friday and investigated for the purpose
of ascertaining who made off with liyc
dollars belonging to one of the Congres
men. The Board of Indian Commis
sioners had a meeting on the twenty
fifth.
B. M. WOOLLEY.
Fayorable news is reported from the
western border; the temporary removal
of the Sioux to the Upper Missouri is
in progress, and SittiDg Bull’s reply to
the Commissioners sent out to him,
drops that individual from the support
of Peace Boards and Indian Bureaus,
May he prove a good and loyal subject
to Her majesty and not an unco mforta
blc neighbor to the government which
he has chosen to leave.
Of more than local interest was the
dedication of a large and beautiful
school building the other day. It stands
as a memorial of a northern lady who
devoted her life to work among the freed
men, and at her death left a small
amount of money to be used for the ed
ucation of colored people. The Trustees
have erected this commodious structure
and presented it to the District as the
Miner Normal School for colored girls.
The old brick building CoL of and 14th
Sts. for many years occupied by the
State Dept is now the home of a hundred
or more little orphans the building was
oiig’nally intended to be an asylum but
necessity leaves no choice, the goat took
possessive of it years ago and have con
tinued to occupy it until the beginning
of 1876 when a part of the new Dept
was completed and ready for occupan
cy. This Dept, now one of the most
eimportant was established in 1789 and
styled the Dept of Foreign affairs.
