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.” WhyfHc Oot Drunk. “Where’s that bonnet? she ask ed. “At the Milliner’s, lie replied. “Alexander Magruder, you aint anything but a hollow hearted old buzzard. “Thankyou ma’am.” Shut up, you red-headed skunk, or I’ll claw them tobacco stained whiskers off of you. Just to think I’ve had that old bonnet of mine turned over three times, while Missis Dobbins, who aint a bit better off than I am, got two Icw ones. I aint a going fo stand it, that’s all. GJ out of this bouse you oloated old mi ser, and get me that bonnet, or I’ll dab you 111 the eyes with this dough! Git—if you aint gone by the time I wash my hands I’ll make you wish you had brought me a wagon load of bonnets.” He went, And that was the excuse he gave for getting so wickedly, lnnberly and ungentlemanly drunk. The last seen of him he was trying to borrow a needle gun and a bowie knife. At the evening session of the Epis copal Convention, the discussion of the canon relating to the organiza tion of a board of missions was con tinued, and finally the canon was adopted. The canon provides that the asso ciation shall be denominated “The Domestic and Foreign Misssionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States.” Muhktar Pasha is safe. Ismail Pasha’s retreat and junction with Muhktar Pasha is, however, seri ously menaced. The man who was “doubled up with a kick” is supposed to have been kicked with a pair of double uppers.

"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. 1 his subject i? one well worthy cf 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. Fax.
