New York, Oct. S. — When a New York hanker leaves the business turmoil 'of Wall street where hi* energies have been taxed in escaping-the horns of the bulls and the claws of the bears his fancy is supposed to lightly turn to thoughts of repose. A spin over the road in a trim Brewster, a well arranged dinner with a due assortment of wines, and a good seat at the theatre seem the most beguiling variation on the mental strain of Wall street. When, instead of this sort of thing, a banker elects the man agement of a big amusement scheme, where the success is a doubt at the start and the worry is a steady element, it becomes an in teresting problem to determine his idea of recreation. This is what Mr. Heilman has done. When he goes up town after busines hours he be takes himself to the Eden Musee and takes an active personal conduct of that place of amusement. He likes it. It amuses him. Those benevolent people, whose zeal for their fellow creatures leads them into fluent pre dictions of disaster when something new is undertaken, charitably assured him he couldn't make the thing a “go.” Wax figures couldn’t be elevated to the level of respectability. The crowds would be coarse, ana if it drew only that kind of audience it wasn't going to draw a paying one. The facetious philosopher of old solved the ob jections against the possibility of movement by getting up and walking. Mr. Heilman adopted a similar method. He proved that the Eden Musee could be run as he projected it and pay, by so running it and finding it pay. Encouraged, perhaps, by his success, Mr. Heilman has lately attempted something still more difficult. An impartial, generous treatment of the work of native American artists is a thing that any good man can take an interest in. This is what Mr. Hell man wishes to accomplish now. He is a member of the New York Society for the Promotion of Art, and he has added a gal lery to the Eden Musee, which is placed un der the auspices of the body with a view to this result. A few days ago a good crowd of invited patrons assisted at the opening of this gal lery. It is of modest dimensions, but taste fully, even richly, decorated. An elevator (happy medium of transportation) raised the visitors from the “wax Aggers” and Munck Lajor’s untrained gypsies to the higher art of the floor above. No extra charge is exacted for a visit to the gallery. If Mr. Heilman succeeds in making of his new gallery a court where justice and generosity are shown to the American dis ciples of brush and pigment he will do a praiseworthy thing and one of no easy accomplishment. The present collection numbers sixtv-four canvases. Some are the work of foreign artists, but many are from the painters on this side of the water. The exhibit is a very creditable one, and several of the pictures show an enfcouraging degree of abilitv. The largest one in the collection is Charles Giron’s “Deux Soeurs.” But it is not the best, and the American public will proba bly view the American painters with more interest. The result of Mr. Heilman’s new venture cannot help being interesting, and, in case of success, gratifying to all art lov ers of New York. John J. aßechkt. BOOTH’S SLAYER. Boston Corbett Said to be Hopelessly Insane. From the St. Louis Reoublican. Topeka, Kan., Oct. 2.—Boston Corbett, who shot John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Lincoln, was, last evening, de clared hopelessly insane, and a guardian was appointed by the Probate Judge to take charge of his property. Corbett was taken to the State insane asylum, ami will prob ably continue an inmate of the institution ns long as ho lives, as physicians say that it is impossible for him to be cured. While living in Boston, Mass., he joined the Meth odist church. Never having been baptized lie was at loss to know what name to adopt, but after making it a subject of prayer he took the name of Boston in honor of the place of his conversion. He was always undisciplined and erratic. Soon after hq killed Booth, Corbett received an anony mous letter purporting to be written by a Confederate officer threatening Corbett’s life. He really believed that the threat would be carried out, and the matter weighed so heavily upon his mind that he became partially crazed. He believed that Southern sympathizers were following him, and to this day ho maintains that friends of John Wilkes Booth are on his track, it was in the hope of getting away from his imaginary pursuers that he came to Kan sus. So effectually did he conceal his iden tity that it was several years before it was known in Kansas that he was the slayer of Booth. For several years past lie has been subject to crazy spoil's, but never did any harm. During ail his resi dence in Kansas he has tarried a revolver with him night and day, so that he might be prepared to defend himself should lie be discovered by the imagined avengers of Wilkes Booth. 'One of his pe culiarities was his pronounced opposition to secret societies. By some means lie learned that Booth was a member of a secret so ciety, and lie believes that the members of that society are pledged to avenge their brother’s death. He has resided on a farm in Cloud count)' for several years past, liv ing in a log liut, and with scant allowance of food and clothing. About one year ago he was a delegate to the Republi can Couuty Convention. While the convention was in progress Corbett was seized with one of his spells, and advancing to the platform ho pointed a pistol at the Chairman, demanded silence, and proceeded to offer prayer. When he had concluded his prayer ho ordered the convention to proceed.' Corbett was ap pointed doorkeeper of the Kansas House of Representatives last winter. His conduct >n tho early part of the session was all right, but (jne day toward tho latter part of tho session, while the House was in the wildest ol heated discussion, he created consterna tion by appearing on the Speaker’s stand and drawing from under his coat a large re volver, he declared the House adjourned. He was sent homo, and has since lost his mind altogether. “Oh, It Was Pitiful I” Of course it was! He tried one remedy after another, and finally gave up and died, when his life might have been saved by tak mg Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discov ery”—the great “Consumption Cure” — ■whioh. if promptly employed, will soon sub due all threatening symptoms, such as nough, labored breathing, night-sweats, spit ting of blood, etc., and restoring waning strength and hope, effectually stop the poor consumptive's rapid prograss grave-ward.
