JOHN WILKES BOOTH.
Some Interesting Reminiscences of The
Famous .Southerner.
Philadelphia News.
I was talking to a laily a few days ago
and she gave me some reminiscences of
John Wilkes Booth “before the war”
' in Richmond. Here they are. I hope
“He was passionately fond of children.
I've heard my mother tell about a play
he used to act in, in which there was a
child, The Sea of Ice,' I think it was,
and she said he was so loving to the
little thing and she would nestle in
his arms in the wings until her time
came to go on the stage.
“Just before the blockade began which
divided Xortli and South, when the
cannon announced that Virginia had
seceded, Wilkes Booth and the Rich

the inheritor of his father’s peculiar j
gifts. It was in 1850 that the ‘Naiad j
Queen’ was first produced in Richmond, j
and Wilkes Booth afterwards was called ,
upon to play parts more worthy the j
young aspirant to tragedy’s crown. ;
His ‘Othello’ is remembered by the j
gray beards of Richmond as a noble j
conception, and his brother Edwin, who j
played 'lag..'to Wilkes’ 'Othello,' had up'again,
to look to his spurs to hold Ins own
during the play.
“Let me tell you one thing that my
mother told me about Wilkes Booth’s
honor and generosity : A young lady,
well-born and wealthy, became stage
struck and lost her head completely
about Mr. Booth. She wrote to him
again and again, and receiving no re
plies to her love letters, the romantic
young woman wrote and begged John
Wilkes to meet her in the Capital
square, where she would stand near
Washington’s monument, and she also
aflirmed that she would come prepared
to fly “East, West or North, I care |
not whither, so thou art safe, and 11
with thee.”
“Wilkes Booth came to my mother
and put her in full possession of the
facts, only withholding the name of the
girl. He said : ‘lam only a boy, but
I want to do the right tiling. I want
the girl to go homeland behave herself.
Ah, those were curious days when they
took my ring and it, for fear my tongue
might babble of that which I never
knew. What did 1 know about assas
sination, or rule or misrule V
“I only knew I should never feel
I
only heard my childhood’s friend had
suffered the felon’s doom.
“There was a little, girl with two
blonde ‘pig tails’ on her shoulders and
a world of defiance in her near-sighted
eyes that sat, whenever she could steal
away, down in the garden where the
dandelions and violets carpeted the
April-robetl terrace. My ring was
there, and there 1 sat like some small,
but resolute, Rizpah, alert to drive
away all that Avould dare molest my
treasure.”
Little Johnny’s Story.

San Francisco Examiner.
Boys is the masterpiece of creashion,
and wen a boy isent that he is a sissy,
and Billy, thats my brother, can lick
him. But gerls they can’t walk a fence
or ride stradle. Wen a boy gets so lie
can whistle with his 2 hands, loud like
lie was a steam bote, and stand on bis
head, and skin the cat on a swing, then
Now tell me the honest and wise thing i mother she is mighty prowd, and
to say to her. I’ve tried silence with
no success; but now I will see the
young lady, and I want you to,tell me
how to talk to her without hurting her
feelings, but I want the interview to
be final.’
“Well, Wilkes Booth and his matron
friend talked the matter over, and
Wilkes went off to the rendezvous in
the Capital square. He told my mother
.all about it ; how he appealed to the
young enthusiast’s better nature, how
he disabused her mind of the idea that
everything and everybody was jolly
behind the scenes, and how lie had sent
her back to her father’s house a wiser
virgin.
“This was in 1859, and a little later,
when the drums beat to summon the
Jefferson Guards to start to Acquia
she says, “Wot a fine boy; his eyes are
the livin’ immidges of his fathers, but
in everything which he does he is jest
like me.”
If I wasent a boy Id rather be dead,
cos then I wudent have to be gerls.
Gerls is stuck up, but boys dont. Wen
a boy gets nough to eat, plenty caks and
pie, he groes to be a man and gives his
mother a gold house for to live in, aim

Sundy skool, an the teacher he sed,
“Now, Johnny, mebby you can tel me
the name of the first boy in the world.”
Then 1 spoke up and sed, “Jack
Johnson !”
The teacher lie was a stonish, and
many a year, Wilkes was one of the
first to don his uniform. He had al
ways been one of the ‘boys,’ ready for
a fire or ready for a fray. My mother,
who was one of Virginia's most devoted
admirers, and one of the most rebellious
of rebels, gave Wilkes Booth her bless
ing. and even offered him an ancient
carbine that was rusty, not having
been used since the war of 1812."

Then 1 sed, “Yes, but Jack lie can

Then Billy he spoke up and he sed,

“That’saccording to one’s fancy.” an

ty of expression. His nose was thin
the other nldiost as their own. On the
morning of July 4, the Union bands
played our national airs, while those of
the Confederate army gave “Dixie”
and the “Bonnie Blue Flag.”
For a time there was a contest as
to which side could make the most
noise, and after that had ended the
Confederates, to the great surprise of j
the Union men, began playing, “Hail
Columbia.”
Not to be outdone in courtesy one of
the Union bands then played “Dixie” j
and the interchange of compliments;
continued through quite an extended :
programme. Enthusiasm and generous
feeling was the order of the day, but j
that night the very men who had been ;
cheering each other were engaged in |
fierce skirmishing.
While the two armies were in camp (
at Chattanooga there were twenty or j
thirty excellent bands on each side, j
daily playing their respective airs.
One night, aftermost of the men had j
retired from duty, three or four of the j
best bands in each army played for an i
hour or more, as if in rivalry.
In the Union camp, after “Hail Col
umbia” had been given, there would
be cheer upon cheer from ten thousand
throats.
“Bonnie Blue Flag” from the other
side would be followed by an equal up
roar from its supporters.
At length a Union band struck up
“The Girl I Left Behind Me,” and for
a minute there was silence in the other
camp; then a Confederate band caught
lip the refrain and the two played it
together to the end. When they had
finished there came, as if by common
impulse, a succession of cheers from
both camps, and the pickets, throwing
caution to the wind, stood up and
shouted together.

The school year will include eight months.
Where the pupils enter for the whole scho
lastic year the rates of tuition will be as fol

rally to the support of the school.

with a warm room, good stoves and plenty
of wood, we will be ready to proceed to busi

LENGTH OF DAYS.
Five Hundred Years Old-Is Living' a
Lost Art ?
Life is wortli living ?
In the days of long ago people seem
ed to think it was, if the length of time
they devoted to becoming acquainted
with its lights and shadows is any cri
terion.
It would seem as though life must
have afforded much of enjoyment in
the good old days. Sophocles hung on
until he was B30 years old, then perish
ed by an accident. Attilla was 124 when
lie died of the consequence of a revel
on the night of his second marriage.
This is a warning to young men. Epe-
nienides was 157 at his regretted de
cease.
Crowns did not sit so heavily on the
brows of monarchs as they seem latter
ly to do. Folii, the founder of the Chi
nese Empire, reigned 115 years, and so
did Apaphus of The es Egyptian. Tac
itus gives 175 years to Tuisso, a German
prince. Daddon, an Illyrian noble,
lived for 5Q0 years, according to Alexan
der Cornelius.
The art of living seems to he one of
the many ‘lost arts,’ which the dark
ages covered over, and modern civiliza
tion lias not vet been able to uncover.
It is certain long life was not secured
by using mineral poisons as remedies
for disease. That is essential modern
practice. The ancients doubtless drew
on the laboratory of nature for their
medicines, lienee the span of their lives
was naturally extended.
We know that our immediate ances
tors found their medicines in the fields
and forests, adjoining their log cabin
homes. These natural remedies were
efficacious and harmless—left no poison
in the system. Physicians were rarely
called in, and the people lived to rug
ged and hearty old age. Is it not worth
while to return to their wholesome
methods of cure for common ailments *?
II. H. Warner & Co., Proprietors of
Warner’s Safe Cure, have introduced
to the public a line of Log Cabin reme
dies, and their name indicates their
character. They include a “Sarsapa
rilla.” “Hops and Bucliu Remedy.”
“Cough and Consumption Remedy,”
Extract for External and Internal use,
“Rose Cream,” for Catarrh, “Sealpine”
for the hair, “Liver Pills” and “Porous j
Plaster.” They are carefully com- j
pounded by aetiffil recipes, the most j
efficacious iii use by our grandparents, ,
and those who would like to try the ■
virtues of old-time remedies, have an
opportunity to secure the best in (
“Warner’s Log Cabin Remedies.”
