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 mond Stock Company seemed todisap- . , , . , .. .. pear in the mist that was rising to they will be as interesting to you as j overcloud the once united country. they were to me : , j ‘Masks and Faces’was the last perform- ‘I don’t remember the time when) , „ lnv house thftt rowd. _ seemed to mother ” saM my smiling friend “was | ^ night that somebody kissed a great lover and patron of the drama. , ^ ^ put 30methi „g on my fi„ ge r.

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. 9 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 I gess lie go and sho mine wot I have wrote a bout boys, mebby she can tel me wot to say. One time me .and Billy we was to 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." Creek, where John Brown’s, insurree- j bime by he sed, “Wy, how can Jack tion was the most alarming throb that i be the first boy wen Cain was born six had disturbed Virginia's breast for J thousaii years ago and Jack is only but jest thirteen years old ?” Then 1 sed, “Yes, but Jack lie can lick any other boy of his size and has got a uncle with six toes on his feet, which is a show.” Then Billy he spoke up and he sed, “Yes, sir, and if Cain was born six thousen years ago he isent any longer a boy.” But Gorge Waslienton wen he was a ‘Was Wilkea Booth as handsome as 1 man was first in whar and first in peace liis brother Edwin *?” I interrupted. “That’saccording to one’s fancy.” an swered my friend reflectively. “Ed win has the Italian style df manly beauty, while Wilkes had the clearer, cleaner-cut features, and more intensi 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. (Educational. BOYS AND GIRLSilGH SCHOOL, SHARPSBURG, GA., Will Open Monday, Jan, 2d, 1888. 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 lows: - First class, $5; Second class, $10: Third class $15; by the month, $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00. Board—front $5 to $s per month. With these low rates no deduction will be a'lowed for the public fund. We have had one of the finest schools for the last six.years in Coweta county, end the seventh promises to surpass any preceding year. We have put the school on its own merits, and have lowered the tuition, believ ing that our patrons will appreciate it and rally to the support of the school. The school room is being replastered, and with a warm room, good stoves and plenty of wood, we will be ready to proceed to busi ness <m the first day with comfortable sur roundings. Competent teachers will be employed, and nothing shall be lacking to make it one of the most interesting schools in our county. V. A. HAM, Principal. 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.” WALKER HIGH SCHOOL, 1888.
