There is a large, villainous-looking 0 Is, •v.;3)S $ome Interesting Belies of the Assassin of Abraham Lincoln--His Final Cap- -- • I . t iptnt a little time in examining with if *'* melancholy interest * some xolioa of J. Wilkes Booth and his fellow-con- Bpirators. They are very carefnlly kept in the office ot Judge Advocate Gen eral Swaim. t First I was Shown the pistol with v which the President was shot. It is a email, old-fashioned derringer, its en­ tire length being but a trifle more than eix inches, while the barrel is but two v and a half inches. The bore, however, is much larger than that of the weapons of its size of the present day. The fatal bullet taken from the head of Mr. Lincoln, is much battered by its con ,f. tact with the skull, which was said by ' * the surgeons to be unusually thick. In a small glass case are preserved several i fragments of the fractured skull. The silver tipped probe used on that occa­ sion is also in the collection. There is a doable-edged dirk knife which was taken from the person of Booth after ** his death. It has a large horn handle and a blade about seven inches in length. It is of the kind spokeu of in ordinary parlance as a "Bowie," but the latter, strictly speaking, has but a single edge. One side of the blade is neatly orna­ mented, and bears the inscription: "America, the Land of the Free and ; the Home of the Brave, Liberty aud In- >fi dependence." It was this knife that the assassin brandished in his hand as he ran across the stage of the theater , after the shooting, shouting, "Sic sem­ per tyrannis!" The hat worn by Booth .- was picked up in the theater box after the tragedy. It is of dank cloth, finely "quilted," of the style much worn at a * »* that time. There is also a light colored ; "slouch" felt hat which was worn that night by Payne, when he made the mur- derous attack on Secretary Seward. The boot worn by Booth on the broken leg is of the cavalry pattern, and very high, reaching nearly to the hip. At the instep is a slip eight or ten inches 'i long, made by Dr. Mudd while exam- jfe ining Booth's injury, at his house, near Surratsvivle, Md. The fugitive made a brief halt in his flight, seeking relief from the pain in his limb. A very in­ teresting feature of the collection is a small diary found in Booth's pockets after his death. It is much soiled and r 0 stained, and all the leaves prior to the date of April 14, the day of the mur- . der, had been cut off by himself. Among the articles found in the "pocket" of the book are five photo­ graphs of young women, presumably >4 actresses a small silver horse-shoe charm, and a Roman Catholic medal or amulet. I copied from the diary the following, written by Booth while try- ' ing to escape from his pursuers. The handwriting was fully identified by his friends after his death: "April 14, Friday, the Ides--TJnti- to-day nothing was ever thought of sacl riflcing to our country's wrongs. For o six months we had worked to capture; but our cause being almost lost, some­ thing decisive and great must be done. , -i Hut its failure was owing to others who 1 did not strike for tlieir country with a heart. I struck boldly and not as the papers say. I walked with a firm step through a thousand of his friends; was stopped, bnt pushed on. A colonel was at his side. I shouted sic semper before , I lired.

This forced union is not what I have loved. I care not. what becomes of me. I have no desire to outlive my country. This night, before the deed, I wrote a long article and left it for one of the editors of the National Intelli- * gencer, in which I fully set forth our ^ reasons for our proceedings.

There are also two large navy revolvers, which belonged to Payne and Atzerot. Many will remember that the conspira­ tors planned the death of the Presi­ dent, General Grant, Secretary Sew­ ard, Vice President Johnson, and prob­ ably others; but, although each was as­ signed his part in the diabolical tragedy, all of them, for some reason or other, failed, except Booth. It is this failure that Booth alludes to in his diary. Mr. Seward had recently been thrown from his carriage, and by some reason of his injuries was confined to his bed. The surgeons had inclosed his neck with a steel colar, and this doubtless saved his life. At almost the same moment--so carefully were the details of the plot arranged--that Booth entered the DOX occupied by Mr. Lincoln and his friends at Ford's theatre, Payne pre­ sented himself at the house of Mr. Sew­ ard. He represented that he was a messenger from the physician, with medicine for the patient, and must see him immediately. His appearance1 aroused the suspicion of the attendants, aud they hesitated to admit him; but brushing them aside, he forced his way in and passed rapidly to Mr. Seward's room, which he entered without cere­ mony* He attacked the Secretary, as he lay upon the bed, with his knife, en­ deavoring to cut his throat, but was baffled by the steel collar. Mr. Seward rolled over and off the bed upon the floor on the opposite side. In the meantime Frederick Seward, who was attending him, grappled with the assassin. Payne up to this time had made no use of his revolver, lint now used it as a club, beating his antagonist upon the head very severely, inflicting injuries from which he has never fully recovered. All this had been bnt the work of a moment, but the alarm was rapidly spreading, and Payne, realizing his failure, sought safety in a rapid flight. Strangely enough, he did not leave the city. Forty-eight hours later, at a little before midnight, he called at the house of Mrs. Surratt, which, un­ known to him, was then under the strictest surveillance. He was dressed as a common laborer, his clothes were bedaubed with mud, and he carried a stick on his shoulder. This implement is kept as one of the historic relics. Confronted by an officer, who asked him who he was, replied that he had been sent to do a job of work for the lady of the house, whose name . he pretended not to know. Mrs. Surratt was in the custody of the officers and was about to be removed. She had asked permission to engage in prayer [she was a Catholic] before leaving the house. Her request was granted, and she was on her knees at the moment of Payne's arrival. An officer conducted him into her presence, and asked her if she knew him. She called God to witness that she had never seen him before. But he was re­ tained in custody, and proved to be one of the chief conspirators. It was sub­ sequently proved, by abundant testi­ mony, that he had dined repeatedly with Mrs. Surratt, at her house. There are also two nine-shooting Spencer carbines, which were taken to Surrattsville by John H. Surratt a short time before the tragedy. They were left at the house of Dr. Mudd, and were intended to assist the assassins in defending themselves--so perfectly had even the route of escape been planned and provided for. Harold, one of the four who were executed, accompanied BoothPin his flight from the alley in the rear of the theater, where the horse was in waiting. At Surrattsville Harold took one of the carbines, but Booth did not, owing to his suffering condition. When at length they were hunted down and surrounded at night in a barn, they were ordered to come forth and surren­ der. Harold did so but Booth took the c arbine and defied his pursuers, de­ termined to sell his life as dearly as possible. At length the barn was set on tire, and by the light of the flames Booth could be seen within, seeking aa opportunity to use his weapon. Then Sergt. Boston Corbett put an end to his life by a shot from his revolver. When Booth entered the President's box at the theatre he placed a pine stick al>out three feet long and two inches square, which had been previously pro­ vided, in such a way as to fasten the door, that no one might follow him into the box. This stick, which is carefully preserved, lav upon the floor as the bleeding President was l>orne out of the box, and several drops of blood fell up­ on it, the stains being plainly visible. All the details in connection with the theater, necessary to the plan were ar­ ranged by Booth in person with the as­ sistance of the stage carpenter, Span- gler who was tried as an abettor of the conspiracy and sentenced to a long im­ prisonment. The old Ford theater is located on Tenth street, between E and F. Once after the death of the President a theatrical performance was advertised to take phice there, but the government forbade it. The "property was then purchased and is occupied as a National Surgical Museum. In 18G4 a rumor was spread through the country that President Lincoln had died by poison. J. Wilkes Booth was that dav at the McHenry House in Moadville. Pa. After his departure the following was foood A Noted Adventuress. A decided sensation was created at Washington during the Van Buren ad­ ministration by the appearance there of a handsome and well educated Italian lady, who called herself Americus Ves­ pucci, and claimed descent from the navigator who gave his name to the continent. Ex-President Adams and Daniel Webster became her, especial friends, and she was soon a welcome guest in the best society. In a few weeks after her arrival, she presented a petition to Congress, asking first to be admitted to the rights of citizenship, and secondly to be given a "corner of land" out of the public domain of the country which bore the name of her an­ cestor. An adverse report, which was soon made, is one of the curiosities of congressional literature. It eulogized the petitioner as "a young, dignified and graceful lady, with a mind of a brightest intellectual culture, and a heart beating with all our own enthusi­ asm in the cause of American and hu­ man liberty." The reasons why the prayer of the petitioner could not be granted were given, but she was com­ mended to the generosity of the Ameri­ can people. "The name of Amerioa-- our country's name--should be hon­ ored, respected and cherished in the person of the interesting exile from whose ancestor we derive the great and glorious title." A subscription waaimmediately open* ed by Mr. Haight, the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, and judges, congressmen and citizens vied with one another in their contributions. Just then it was whispered that Madame Vespucci had bom an unenviable reputation at Flor­ ence and at Paris, and had been In­ duced by a pecuniary consideration to break off an intimacy with the Duke of Orleans, Louis Phillippe's oldest son, and oome to Washington, boon after­ wards the duke's younger brother, the Prince de Joinville, came to this country and refused to recognize her, which virtually exclud< d her from reputable society. For some years subsequently she resided in luxurious seclusion with a wealthy citizen of New York, in the interior of that State, and after his death she returned to Paris.--Ben: Berly Poore's Bemininsce*. ^ C Beating a Far Western IMtflry* "Did you go into the side show?" I asked of the countryman, at Greeley, Colorado. "No, sir. I studied the oil paintings on the outside, but I didn't go in. I met a handsome looking man there near the side show, though, that seemed to take an interest in me. There was a lottery along with the show, and he wanted me to go and throw for him." "Capper, probably ?" "Perhaps so. Anyhow, he gave me a dollar and told me to go and throw for him," "Why didn't he throw for himself?" "Oh. he said the lottery man knew him and would'nt let him throw." "Of course. Same old story. He saw you were a greeny, and got you to throw for him. He stood in with the game, so thai you drew a big prize for the capper, created a big excitement, and you and the cro^d sailed in and lost all the money you had. Til bet he was a man with a velvet coat and a mustache dyed a dead black and waxed as sharp as a cambric needle." "Yes, that's his description to a dot. I wonder if he really did do that a pur- poic * Well, tell us all aboat it It does me good to hear a blamed fool tell how he lost his money. Don't you see that your awkward ways and general green­ ness struck the capper the first thing, and you not only threw away your own money, but two or three hundred other wappy-jawed pelicans saw you draw a big prize and thought it was yours, then they deposited what little they had, and everything was lovely." "Well, I'll tell you how it was, if it'll do any good, and save other young men in the future. You see, this cap­ per, as you call him, gave me a $1 bill to throw for him, and I put it into my vest pocket so, along with the $1 bill that father gave me. I always carry my money in my riglit hand vest pocket. Wall, I sailed up to the game, big as old Jumbo himself, and put a dollar into the game. As you say, I drawed a tlig prize, $20 and a silver cup. The man offered me $5 for the cup, and I took it. Then it flashed over my mind that I might have got my dollar and the othei feller's mixed, so I says to the proprie tor, I will now invest a dollar for a gent.' "Thereupon I took out the other dol lar, and I'll be eternally chastised if ) didn't draw a brass locket worth about two bits a bushel." I did not say anything for a long time. Then I asked him how the capper acted when he got his brass locket. "Well, he seemed pained and grieved about something, and he asked me if I hadn't time to go away into a quiet place where we could talk it over by ourselves, but he had a kind of a cruel insincere look in his eye, and I said no, I believe I didn't care to. and that I was a poor conversationalist anvhow, and so I oame away and left him footing at his brass locket and kicking holes in the ground and using profane language. "Afterward I saw him talking with the proprietor of the lottery and I feel somehow that they &fld lost confidence in me. I heard them speak of me in a jeering tone of voice, and one said as I passed by: "There goes the meek-eyed rural convict now, and he used a horrid oath at tlie same time. "If it hadn't been for that one little qnincidence there would have been nothing to mar the enjoyment of the occasion."--BUI Nne. i » i i is i" • A (ieod Income.

One of the most remarkable occurrences ever given to the public, which took place here in our midtft, fcfi Judt come to our knowledge, and will uadoebtedly awaken as much surprise and attsaet as great attention as It has already in newspaper circles. The facts are, brie By, as follows: Mr. William A. Crombie, a ndg ssaa formerly residing at Biraitagfcaai, a selrarttef DM,andntiw living at nr MMMgan avenue in this etty, can truthfully say that he has looked into the future world and jet returned to this. A representative of this paper has interviewed him upon this important subject, and his ex­ periences ass given to the public for the first time. He said: "1 had been having most peculiar sensa­ tions for a long while. My bead felt dull and heavy; my eyesight did not seem so clear as formerly; my appetite was uncertain, and I was unaccountably tired. It waa an,effort to arise In the norahc, and yet I could nit sleep at night. My meath Insist bedly, I had a taint, all-gone saa»ation la the pit of my stomach that food did not satisfy, while my hands and feet felt cold and clammy. I was nervous and irritable, and loetallenthusiasm. At times my head would seem to whirl and my heart palpitated terribly. I had no energy, no ambition, and I seemed indifferent of the present and thoughtless of the future. I tried to (hake the feeling off/and persuade myself it was simply a eon or a little malaria. But it would not go. I was de­ termined not to give up, and so time passed alon? and all the while I was getting worse. It was about this*time that I notlobd I had teaun to bloat fearfully. My flmbs were Mullen so that by pressing my flagers upon tiMta deep depreSSWQS would pe made. My face also began to enlarge, ana continued to until I could arareely ree oat of toy eyes. One of my friends, describing my appearance atthuttime, ssid: '/Ms an animated some­ thing, but I should like to know what.' In this condition I passed several weens of the greatest agony. "Finally, one Saturday night, the misery oulminatcd. Nature could endure no more, I became Irrational and apparently insensi­ ble. Cold sweat gathered on my forehead; my eyes became glased and my throat rattled. I seemed to be in auother sphere and with other surroundings. I knew nothing of vhat occurred around mo, although I have since learned that it was considered as death by these who stood by. It was to mo a quiet state, and yet one of great agony. I was helpless, hopeless, and pain was my only companion. I remember trying to see what was beyond me, but the mist before my eyes was too great. I tried to reason, but I had lost al! power. I felt that it was death, and realized how terrible it was. At last the strain upon my mind gave way and all was a blnnK. How long this continued I do not know, but at last l realized the presence of friends and recognized niy mother. I then thought it was earth, but was not oertaln. I gradually regained consciousness, however, and the pain lessened. I found that my friends had, during my unconsciousness, been giving me a preparation I had never taken before, and the next day, under the influenoe of this treatment, the bloat­ ing began to disappear, and from that time on I steadily improved, until to-day I am as well as ever before in my life, have no of the terrible acute Bright's dissase, so nearly killed me, and all through the derful instrumentality of Warner's Safe Cure, the remedy that brought me to life after I was virtually in another world." "You have had an unusual experience, Mr. Crombie," said' the writer, who had been breathlessly listening to the recital. "Yes, 1 think I have," was the reply, "and it has been a valuable lesson to me. I am certain, though, there ate thousands of men and women at this very moment who have the same ailmant which came Se near killing me, and they do not know It. I believe kid­ ney dieeaee is the most deceptive trouble in the world. It comes like a thief in the night. It has no certain symp­ toms, but seems to attack each one differently. It is quiet, treacherous, and all the more dangerous. It is killing more people to-day than any ether complaint. If I had the power, I would warn the entire world against it. and urge them to remove it from the system before it is too late."

To note the slightest symptoms, to realize their lif- ntflcance, and to meet them in time by the remedy which has been shown to be moat •Relent, is a duty from which there can be escape. They arc fortunate who do this; they aro on the sure road to death who neg­ lect It. ; SATURDAV always reminds one ot the wooden thing shoemakers use when they make sick folks' shoes. week.
