Agnus, publisher of the Bal timore American, received the fol lowing communication a few days | ago from a physician residing a few | miles from that city: Dear Genebal—Think it not ; strange that I say that I believe I Booth, killed Mr. Lincoln for fail- i ing.to keep a solemn promise to ; Booth. Thus it appears that Booth ! had a dear friend in the army who i was condemned to be shot. Booth ] went to the President and iinpor- i tuned him to pardon his friend. Lin coln yielded and promised the con demned soldier’s life Booth fell on | his knees and bathed Lincoln’s hand | with his tears and kissed them, and i left with the assurance that his ! friends life would be spared. The j next evening word was brought io ! Borth that his friend was shot to ! death.Booth became wild with rage and avowed vengeance, and the | time came as lie had planned. Two ! | nights before the deed Booth slept : with Andrew Jackson King, at Mrs. Bowers’ boardingrhouse (King is the clerk to Mayor Latrobe). Booth’s visits to Mrs. Surratts were merely social. Politics were not touched upon. Brick Pomeroy knows much of this, and more than I can tell you. My wife lived with her mother at the time that Booth visited at the house, and she says that King knows more than he will tell, also Mr. Sid Adams. If you wish, you can try what there is in this to make people wonder over another mystery greater than that of “The Breadwinners.” Respect fully, . The lady was right, says the American when she said “Andrew Jackson King knows more than he will tell.” To a reporter he said he would say nothing on the subject, but afterwards partly acknowl edged the truth of the assertions made in the letter, but said that it was two weeks before the deed was committed that he slept with Booth at Mrs. Bowers’ at Washing ton. Of what he spoke to Booth, or what Booth said to him when the pair were tucked under the bed cover, Mr. A. J. King would say naught. He states that the soldier in question for whom Booth had plead, and who* was killed, was named Beale. Mr. King, who was shown the letter by a reporter, ask ed the loan of it, to show it to Mr. Sid Adams, who is at the post office. When he returned Mr. King stated that Mr. Adams had said that “it’s a lie.” A well known citizen having an office on Calvert street stated that lie had learned from a relative who was in the army at the time lie knew from personal knowledge that it was on account of the execution of Beale that Booth killed Lincoln- There are some persons who are in clined to believe this story. But people generally have made up their minds that the assassination of Lincoln was due to political rea sons. A Curious Mountain. Fifteen miles north of Atlanta, Ga., rises Stone mountain.

In Europe Spain has the worst highways, and they were in a bad condition in all countries a century and a half ago. It was not always so. After the de cline of Roman civilization but lit tle attention was paid to highways anywhere for hundreds of years. Rome’s roadways were.the best that the world had ever seen. They were wide, level and hard. They extended from the borders of Wales to the banks of the Eu phrates, from the Rhine to the At las " Mountains. Tiberius Nero onec started from Lyons and drove northward 200 miles in 24 hours. Such speed could only have been made on a fine road with numer ous rehays-of-fast horses. 'Besides her great military roads Rome built a net-work of cross roads lead ing to the villages. In England it is estimated that the Romans built 2,500 miles of paved roads. All of the old empires noted for their lower and civilization had good roads. The Persians had highways along which tke king’s couriers rode at a speed of from 75 to miles a day. When a country'* re trogrades in civilization and com merce its roads are always neglec ted. Railroads have greatly sim plified the problem of maintaining highways, but the matter stills de mands the attention of states and statesmen.—Atlanta Constitution. ing from their historical associa tion. Stone mountain is composed of a fine, light colored granite. In some places where exposed to the action of sun and water it has become striped, having the appearance of pieces of bright carpeting hanging over the precipice. Scattered over the mountain are boulders, some of immense size and worn by water in to curioUs forms. The Greeks of old would assign its format Ion to some god or goddess and surround it with fascinating myths. We moderns would rather revently ascribe it to the one Crea tor while curiously studying the means He chose to employ. No grasses grow on this mountain but its absence is supplied by red dish moss found only in high alti tudes. Occasionally a stunted cedar appears, presenting a peculiar ap pearance. Not only is the trunk itself twisted by the force of the wind, but each branch shows an un equal conflict with unseen forces. At the foot of the mountain axalias afford a wealth of bloom in their season. At least seven shades ap pear, varying from white to deep red. A yellow variety also abounds. These, with a belt of woodland, fur nish a setting worthy the beauty of this jewel. Stone mountain has given its name to a village about a mile away where dwellers in heated cities may sometimes breathe pure air. In looking upon so much of beauty and grandeur they may find rest for mind and soul, that rest which an intimate acquaitance with nature always brings.—Cottage Hearth. Advice to Office Seekers. The number of men who will con clude that they have a special fit ness for the post-offices, the consu lar posts, the custom houses and internal revenue service will no doubt surprise even the commit tees that know them so well. Per sons who are accustomed to go through the world earning their daily bread by their daily toil will wonder at the sudden development of a talent for transacting the pub lic business. Men who have failed in everything they have undertak en, and who have had neither the industry nor the prudence to do anything for themselves, will be found pushing themselves to the front with more energy than they ever showed before, each more anx ious than the other to conduct the business of the government. ' If the more sensible among these a long one, because the bark was slightly grazed high up, and, about three inches above the mark left by the muzzle, there was a slight mark made by the ramrod, showing that it projected three inches. The man wore a grey woolen coat, because where he leaned against the tree little particles of grey threads had •been caught by the bark. There was the place where the little dog sat on his haunches his stump tail left a mark in the yielding soil. The murderer was short, because, when he reloaded jus.gun,be set the butt a good way Horn his feet. The trail he left coming and going showed he was white, because he turned his toes out, Indians never did. The trail also showed that the one coming to the tree was older than the one going away from it—hence the murderer had waited for him. —New York Times. r. c McDaniel, SceisftcisT, CARSLOLLTON, GKA.

This cherry old drummer is ex-Gover- nor Bishop, of Ohio. Not many years ago he was a millionaire and the gutiewior of-a^reat state. Re verses in business hurled him down from lifs lofty pedestal, but as he had never abused his power and never manifested any vulgar pride of wealth, his misfortunes excited genuine regret, and his manly in dependence in bucking down to work is admired by everybody. Some men would have thought it a tremendous sacrifice of dignity to leave a millionaire’s palace and a governor’s mansion to trot about ov£r- the"country selling cigars, but Governor Bishop is a sensible man and he considers it his duty to earn an honest living. Broken down politicians' who are too proud to work, but not proud enough to re frain from begging have in this old gentleman an example worth fol lowing.—Atlanta Constitution. A writer of some experience in farming says: A farm can be stock ed with sheep for less money than with cattle, horses or hogs. Sheep will come nearer utilizing every thing that grows on the farm than any other animal. Less labor will be required for getting feed and stock together. The returns will come in sooner and oftener than any other farm-stock, except hogs* Less money is required for shelter ing and fencing and less labor is in volved in herding, where, outside persons would only look about them pasturage is accessible, and prefer red. And finally a handsome in come on the investment can be had without the sale of animals them selves. correspondent called on Mrs con this morning, and found her a modest; fine-looking iady, and a mosjt entertaining conversation al fetj She was shown a New York despatch which stated that . her sister, Mrs. Hoyt who was with the Governor in Albany,’ would prob- •ablytHfte charge of the WhitoHouse “There is ntrtrrrth tn the tlfcspatch,” she said. “Nothing has been set tled on as yet. Mrs. Hoyt has -a family to care for, and can hardly leave Albany.” “Who will have charge of the White House, then ? Your broth er is not going to follow I>an Mam niug’s example and get married ?” “Oh, no; that is not at all likely. I think iny sister Elizabeth will at tend to the hospitalities of the White House. She is unmarried, can leave her home, and onght to be with Grover.” “She is accomplished ?” “Yes, indeed. She is now engag ed in delivering historical lectures to educational institutions, so yon see she is certainly well informed. Our father gave us all the best ed ucation in his power.” “Is your sister sdciallv inclined' No; none of us are. We had to attend to our books, and had no time for society, when we wTre young.” “How many sisters have you ?” “Four—three of them are mar ried, but one is a missionary in Cey lon. All have families except Elizabeth.” “Perhaps you may live at the White House yourself?” “That is possible, although I have a family of three girls, and it would be difficult for me to leave. T shall go to Washington to attend the in auguration of my brother, and will remain several months until every thing is settled at the White House under rny direction. As I said before everything is too undecided as yet as to what be done,but I think Eliz abeth wilfbe placed in charge of my brother’s household affairs.” Mrs. Bacon is not a society lady in any sense of the word.

The Masonic Grand Lodge of Ohio adopted a resolution declaring it the opinion of the body that sel ling intoxicating drinks is a Mason ic offence, and should disqualify any one from initiation or application in any Masonic Lodge.

If a public man in Washington is not killed by office seekers, he can not hope to escape death in the shape of convivial dinners. The di- tctic habits of our great men ar^ worth studying. Henry Clay ate iargeiy, his favorite food being broiled oysters and baked pump kins, with buttered watermelon for desert. Calhoun had a weakness for opossum and baked sweet pota toes, even bread, chicken and cof fee. Benton always took a large drink of whisky before his meals, and was very fond of fried bacon and molasses. Harrison liked cab bage, pickled pork, roast pork, peas, cucumbers, sweet potatoes and corn meal fritters. Over eating killed him. Jefferson Davis, while living in Washington, ate very lit tle. Half a cup of tea and a slice of toast for breakfast, a little soup and a few mouthfuls of meat and a glass of wine at dinner, have been his average for nearly fifty years Andrew Johnson had a fine appe-. tite, and drank a great deal of wa ter and milk. He did not drink as much liquor as is generally suppos ed. General Grant likes a fine din ner and does full justice to it. While president he drank no liquor except brandy. He now abstains from strong drink entirely. G'onkling’s greatest weakness is soft boiled eggs. -Congressman Belford, of Col orado, was the most enormous eat er in the last house. He ate four regular meals and three luncheons a day, and was always hungry. Justice Blandtord, of the Georgia supreme court, recently made fun ny decision against dealing in “fu tures,” his highly rhetorical ruling; containing this warning: Faro, brag and poker are tame, gentle, submis sive animals compatfqdtp this mon ster Ajturespecnlatioti, which ferocious bgast ia . i SH to Snmmbrbutter, as usual, is yield ing but a small margin of profit* The Wise dairyman has lessened his production daring this period of low prices and has arranged to have his c6ws calve in the fall and winter so that he can make an even supply from October to May—the period of highest prices. The sum mer glut 1 in the butter market wil[ not be obviated until this practice is more generally adopted. Win ter dairying comes in a season when other work is not pressing and adds immensely to the amount and qual ity of the manure made.
