I'OTOAIAC 1(1 VP. If.
A Ilrokrn l.lult In Hir storv of the flrrnf
Lincoln AMiuittmiilflii ihw Uccovrrril.
An interesting feature of tho April
Century in Gcorgo Alfred Towimend’s
account of “How Wilke* Booth crossed
tho Potomac.” There in a gap in the
history of Wilkes Booth’s crime, be
tween his disappearance in tho pines of
south-eastern Maryland and his re-np
pearnuco in Virginia, where he was
killed, and this article (the information
of .which was supplied by Thomas A
Jones, an actor in tho escape), it in be
lieved closes this gap. Jones’s first en
counter with the fugitives is described
aa follows: “Booth and Herold were
sent into tho short pines, and there
Jones found them. Ho says that mi ho
was advancing into the pines ho came
upon a lmy marc, with block legs, marie,
and tale, and a white star on the fore
head; she was saddled, and roving
around in a little cleared place as if try
ing to nibble something to eat. Jones
took the maro and tied her to a treo or
stump. Ho then ndvnnecd and gave
what he. calls the countersign, or whistle,
which lie does not precisely remember
now, though ho thinks it was two
whistles in a peculiar way, and a whistle
alter an interval. The ilrst person ho
saw was Herold, fully armed, with acar
biuo in his hand, c lining out to see who
it was. Jones explained (hat lie hod
lieen scut to see them, and was then
taken to Booth, who was but a fow rods
further along.
“Booth was lying on the ground,
, wrapped up in blankets, with his foot
supported and bandaged, and a crutch
beside him. His rumpled dress looked
resi<ectublc for that country, and Jones
says it was of black cloth. His face
was pale at all times, and never censed
tube so during the several days that
Jones saw him. Ho was in great pain
from his broken ankle, which had suf
fered a fracture of one or two hones in
tho leg, down close to tho foot. It
would rot liavo given him any great
pain hut for tho exertion of his escape,
which irritated it liy scraping tho ends
of tho broken hollo perhaps in the flesh;
it was now highly irritated, and which
ever way tho man moved lie expressed
by a twitch or a groan tho pain lie fell.
Jones mys that this pain was morn or
less continuous, and was greatly aggra
vated by tho peril of Booth's situation
nnnblo to erosH tho river without as
sistance, and tumble to walk any dis
tance whatever. Jones believes tiiat
Booth did liot rise from the ground at
any time until ho was finally put on
Jones’s hone to ho taken to the water
side somo days afterward.
“Booth's Ilrst solicitude seemed to ho
to learn what mankind thought of the
crime. That question he put almost im
mediately to Joiies, and continued to ask
what different classes of people thought
about it. Jones told liim that it was
gratifying news to most of tho men of
Bontberu sympathies, lie frankly said
that ho himself at first regarded it uh
good nows; but somewhat later, when hi
saw tho injurious consequences of tho
crime to tho Hon Hi, lio changed his
mind. Booth desired newspapers if they
could lie had, which would convoy to
him an idea of public feeling. Jones
Siam obtained newspapers for him, and
continued to send them in; mid Booth
lay there, where the pines were so thick
tiiat one could not see more tlinn thirty
or forty feet into them, rending what the
world had to say about his case. He
seemed never tired of information ou
this one subject, and the only thing lie
sides ho was solicitous about was to get
across tho river to Virginia.
“Jonos says Booth admitted that ho
was tho man who killed Lincoln, ami
expressed no regret for tho act, knowing
all tho consequences it involved. He
said if ho could only get to \ liginia ho
could liavo medical attendance. Jones
told him frankly that lie would receive
no medical attendance in Maryland.
Said lie: ‘Tho country is full of soldiers,
and all that 1 can do for you is to got
you off, if 1 can, for Ilex's protection and
my own, and for your own safety. That
1 will do for you, if there is any way in
the world to do it.'
"When 1 received tills account from
Mr. Jones, I asked him question idler
question to see if I could extract any in
formation as to wluit Booth inquired
about while in that wilderness. 1 asked
it ho spoko of his mother, of where he
was going when he reached Virginia, of
whether ho meant to not on the stage
again; whether he blamed himself for
jumping from the theatre box; whether
lie ex pressed .any nppiehee-inn tor Mrs.
S irratt or any of his friends in Wash
ington. To those and to many other
questions Jones uniformly replied: ‘No,
he did not speak about any of timsi
tilings. Ho wanted fond, nndtocro-a
the river, and to know what was said
about tho deed.' Booth, lie thinks,
wore a slouched hat. At first meeting
Booth in the pines, ho proved himself to
be the assassin by showing upon Ids
wrist, in India ink, tho initials J. W. B.
Jle showed the same to Captain Jett in
Virginia. Jones says Booth was a de
termined man—not boasting, but one
who would have fold bis life dear. He
raid he would not bo taken alive."
J.ivino ox the Borhee.—The El Ba.-o
Herald says At Ell’aso, Texas, M, xi
san dollars are worth eighty five e uts
in American coin. At Paso del Norte,
just across the river, Amevii an dollars
are worth eighty-five cents in Mexican
coin. One morning a car driver started
from the American side with a M-wt.-ji
dollar. On his arrival at the Mexie..n
town ho took a drink of chain lightning,
which was fifteen cents, and received an
American dollar in change for liis Mexi
can. On his return to the American .id
lie took a drink of equally hard liquor
uud received a Mexican dollar for id,,
American, and so repeated the drinks i
intervals during the day, and at night liu
closed up business with the .'il-xtean
dollar he Started with in the morning.
A NAVA I, HERO.
I>r. Ambler, flir Htirgcon flf lli* .lennnrftn
A BriiV© Olflt't'l who HUI III* Whole lluty
Among tho dead of the Jeannette, 1
brought homo to find a resting place, !
was l)r. James M. Ambler. Melville,
when asked by Hie conrt whom of the
expedition he would specially commend
for hiii behavior, promptly replied: “Dr,
Ambler,” and ho was unstinted in his
praise of him. During tho famous re- !
treat over the ice Ambler was one of the !
leading spirits. Ho harnessed two half- \
starved Esquimaux dogs to a sled of his j
own contriving, on which were lashed the j
surgical instruments, medical stores and
scientific records; arid leaving them to '
follow in the rear with the sick, tho doe- ■
tor took his place in advance day after
day, aa chief of the road makers. Ho
wielded a heavy sled go hammer like a \
Hercules, breaking down ieo hummocks
to level a rood for the boats. It was re
lated of liim that ho invariably, when the
day’s work began, took np the heaviest
of tho sledges, thus setting an encour
aging example to tho men. Wo see him
laying this down for a moment to per
form an iridectomy, ono of the most
delicate operations in eye surgery. After
Do Long's hunts had readied the Delia
Delta, and failing to find succor for three
weeks or longer, the commander decided
to rend two of the strongest of his party i
in advance to seek aid. Tho main body
traveled very slowly, most of them being
scarcely nblo to walk at all, and having
to transport the sick. Do Long was able
to walk only for five minutes at a time.
Ambler was the strongest of tho parly,
amt the commanding officer selected liim
and Nindenuin to go on ahead for succor
and to save their own livis. if possible,
both of them being able for a long march.
When this was communicated to the
doctor lie told his commander that ho
thought ho ought not to lenve liis si- k,
as ho preferred to share their fortunes to
tho end, and his going away would look
like abandoning them. This doubtless
touched the gallant Do Long, whoso
first thought seems over to liavo been his
high duly to those under liis command.
Noros was thou sent in Ambler's stead
and liis life was saved. Ambler remained
with liis sick comrades to tlio last and
died with them, it is doubtful if tho
medical profession affords anywhere a
finer example of heroism than this. Im
prisoned on board an iee-liound ship for
twenty-two months, a painful retreat
over weary miles of rough ice, with half
frozen hands ami foot, then wandering
about on unknown shore for three weeks,
reduced to a more strugglo fur exist nee
yet not for a moment was blunted liis
keen sonso of professional duty. Mel
ville, who found tho bodies, is of tho
opinion that Ambler was the last one to
die. His frozen body was found in n
sitting attitude, clothed in many suits of
extra clothing, seizing in liis right hand
Do Long’s pistol, taken from his dead
commander’s pocket; in solemn and
faithful guard over his dead comrades.
None will ever know the dreadful extent
of Li i sufferings during those last hours,
or possibly days, of liis life, alone with
his dead, starving, exhausted and hope
less. Faithful messengers sent by his
grateful country have brought home tho
mortal remains of this noble son loan
aged mother, to lie at rest in his own vil
lage churchyard in Fauquier county, Va.
Peace to him mid her, and honor to tho
memory of this noble surgeon whose lifo
was fciu-ii to liis country and liis duty !
With no Drop or Negro Blood.
The Belma (Alu.) Timen tells the fol
lowing singular story Mr. Isaao
Frank, a white man, was indicted by tho
last Grand Jury under the charge of
living in unlawful wedlock with a negro
woman. Mrs. Mary Ann Frank, wife of
the accused, was present; also her
alleged mol her, Lucinda Weaver, col
ored Lucinda was sworn, ami put upon
the wihicss-shuid. Her testimony throw
new light upon the case and caused a
little flutter of excitement and surprise
among those present. She spoke in n
st 1 nightfonvuiil manner. Notwithstand
ing Lucinda has always been known ns
the mother of Mary, it turns out that
tho vouug woman’s parentage is purely
white. Lucinda testified Hint she was
not the mother of Mrs. Mary Frank and
that M rs. Frank was giv, n to her when
mi infant three days old; that o promi
nent gentleman iu Bout h Carolina brought
the young child and prerented it to
Lucinda, requesting that she raise it ns
iier own. Blie stated further that the
child was the illegitimate offspring of
an aristocratic woman, and it was her
brother who gave the infant to tho old
regress to shield his sister's reputation
and conceal her shame. The oid impress
brought her charge to Alabama, claim
ing her ns a daughter, and the real
truth of matters very probably never
would have been uncovered to the world
but for Man's maitiogo to tlio white
man and the ituliclmrut issued against
him. Mrs. Frank, now grown into
mature worn uihdoit, has light, straight
hair, a fair complexion, and o'ear, blue
eyes, and docMi't bear the remotest trace
of African Idood. A number of gentle
men visited her recently, conversed with
her, and divided that she was beyond
doubt a white woman. After Lucinda’s
testimony was heard, Solicitor Fitts
a:,Vi ill io a verdict of not guilty, and
the happy twain and parted in peace.

A passenger on the train on the Colorado

FENIANS IN PARIS.
Thu French Cnpltnl Helmed n* the Fiend- j
quarter* of llie J)j imuilur*.
A dispatch from Paris says : Tho j
| ail ice here aro convinced that tho ad
vanned Irish parly have rnado Paris their 1
headquarters in Europe for the prepara- !
tion of their dynamite schemes. Inspeo-
I tor Moser, acting under instructions from '
the British Homo Secretary mid aided by !
Ia French commissary of police, is wateh
■ ing the movements of suspected Irish
j men. The nationalist colony includes
| representatives of tho three centres of |
the Irish Republican Brotherhood.
The first section comprises the former
Fenians, James Stephens, John O’Leary !
and Gederal MacAilaras. The last named |
gentleman, in an interview, disavowed i
belonging to tlio society. His mission
was to counsel friends of extreme violent
views, but it was not his duty to reveal
their attempts, however nefarious or mis
taken they might be. Ho was certain
that other nationalists shared this view.
Captain MaeCafferty said the weak were
justified in using terrorism aguinst the
strong, no repudiated affiliation witli
Continental scen t societies. He sym
pathized witli revolutionary propaganda
ism in Europe la-cause Ireland was bene
fited thereby; but nationalism, even the
most extreme, was not necessarily linked
with nihilism or anarchy. Ho denied
that ho was conspiring actively, but
added that experience was valuable to
prevent a repetition of former mistakes.
The police have traced tlio arrival of
five transfers, or men belonging to tho
third or active section,.the dynamiters,
who have been told off for fho next at
tempts. They aro all from America,
and come from the following places :
One from Buffalo, N. V'.
One from Paterson, N. J.
One from Brooklyn, N. Y.
Two from Texas.
They are believed to bo pupils of
Mezi rofT. The other Irishmen under
watch are Gorm-lins Cullimore, Eugene
Davis mid Casey. It is believed that fho
dynamite iH made at Montrouge. Tho
supposed manufacturer is registered as
mi authorized chemical student. Tile
measure under which authorization is
necessary is confined to the making of
dynamite. The instructor is believed to
t-e a man named Brady, under fho alias
of “King.” Tho Brotherhood meet ii

Power of an Avalanche.
The Denver (Col.) A Vies says: One
of the grandest snow-slides that ever oc
curred in Colorado took place a few days
ago, just back of tho Upper Twin
Lakes. .Tudgo Harlan, an eye-witness,
says it was the most sublime night he.
ever witnessed. Just hack of Twin
Lakes arc Pomeroy, (lord on and Francis
giili-hris, on each side of which tlio
mountains rise thousands of feet. Tlio
sides of these giants of tho Rookies had
lreen covered during tho heavy and pro
tracted storms with an enormous depth
of snow, until tlio weight had become
such that it could be sustained no
longer. The Judge says (hat, ns it hap
pened, he was standing whero ho con id
see tlio avalanche perfectly. All atmico
his curs were greeted with a low, rum
bling sound that seemed like tlio roar of
a distant storm, and almost simultane
ously an immense volume of suow be
gan to move down the mountain side in
one of the gulches toward flic road. Tho
agitation seemed to break loose tlio snow
from its moorings in tho other two
gulches, and almost before one liadtimo
to think hundreds of acres of snow were
coming down the mountain with a roar
like thunder, and filling the air with
sprav as they tore through the trees and
carried everything before them. As they
descended their velocity increased, until
tlio rapidity with which tho grout field of
snow and debris came down was some
thing bilbo. Tho distance, ho Buys,
must lmvo been a mile from whero tho
avalanche started to tho valley whore it
stopped. Bo deep was tlio snoiv that n
grove of quaking n.-p, whose trees were
from 20 to 40 feet high, was completely
buried from sight. Logs a foot and a
half in thickness, that lay in tho way of
tho slide, were snapped in two like
straws; trees that were too tall to bo
covered up were turn up from tlieir
rooted places in the mountain sides ami
carried like leaves with tlio avalanche,
Tho velocity of air produced by Hie ava
lanche blew down trees that wa re clear
outside of the track of the slide. For
tunutely no one was in tlio way and no
lives were lost-

There nover was an enterprise began
Under more favorable auspices than the
projected cily of Sheffield. Its location
on the south bank of tho I enne.-see river
between Tuscumbia and Florence, s to
uted on high bluffs that command a view
fur mill s i J i lie surrounding country, 'he
healthfulnesi of tbo place, its fertility
and preximliv to the immense coal and
iron fields and its many other advanta
ges have attracted tnc attention of cap
italists and manufacturers, while the
newspapers in neuly all the elati-s, wi h
hardly an excepth n, have commented
favorably on the fiattering prospects of
the new city.
A reporter, wishing to obtain the
latest information about Sheffield,
called at the office of Captain J. F.
Bmke, one of the executive committee
of the Sheffield company, and * lio lias
just returned from the north, where he
lias been atweat a month on business
connected with the new enterprise.
In response to an inquiry about Shef
field. (.'apt. Burk said :
“We shrill liavo to taka advantage ot
tho columns of the press in answering

“Tlio outlook is tiiat it will be the lar

lus the advantage of river transporta
tion direct to that city. A considerable
trade is already done l>y the river.
When Blieiliild is at work and the new
railroad is finishul, the river trade will
lie immense. Iron, lumber and other
products will lie sent by water to St,

mercial point it wi I have no superiors in

“D the road finished to the coal and
mm fields?”
“It is graded about 20 miles which
carries it to the con! and iron field, and
the track is laid about 8 miles. More
than 1,000 hands are now at work and
the end is being pushed rapidly towards
Birmingham. Titu company unit builds

leads from its wharves to the waterways
