Anecdote of the Elder Booth.
Mr. Elilm Bun itt contributes to the
February number of Packard's Monthly
nn interesting nrlielo under tlie title of
" Breathing n Living Soul into Demi
Words," in which the following auecdote
is told of the elder Booth :
The elder Booth was a man who threw
into his impersonations on amout of heart
nnd rouI which his originals could scarcely
have equalled. lie did Hichard III. to
the life, and more. lie had made human
passions, emotions, nnd experiences his
life's study. He could not only act but
feel rage, love, despair, hate, ambition,
fury, hope nnd revenge, with n depth
nnd force that half amazed his auditors
He could transmute himself into the hero
of his impersonation, and ho could
breathe a power into other men's written
words which perhaps was never surpassed.
AjkI what is lather remarkable, when he
was inclined to give illustrations of this
faculty to private circles of friends, he
nearly nlwnys selected some passages
from Job, David, or Isaiah, or other holy
men of old. When nn aspiring young
professor of Harvard University went to
liim by night, to ask a little advice or in
struction in qualifying himself for an
orator, the veteran tragedian opened the
Bible and read a few verses from Isaiah
in a way that made the Cambridge
scholar trembled with awe, ns if the
prophet had risen from the dead and was
uttering his sublime visions in his car.
He was then .residing in Baltimore, nnd
a pious, urbane oid gentleman ot that
city, hearing ol his wonderful power of
elocution, one day invited him to dinner,
although strongly deprecating the stage
and all theatrical performances.
A large company sat down to the table
ond on returning to the drawing room
one of them requested Booth, as a special
favor to them nil, to repeal the Lord's
Prayer. He signified his willingness to
gratify thorn, nnd all eyes were fixed up
on him. He slowly and reverentially
arose from his chair, trembling with the
burden of two great conceptions, lie
had to realise the character, Attributes,
and presence of the Almighty Being he
was to address. lie was to transform
himself into a poor, sinning, stumbling,
benighted, needy suppliant, offering ho
mage, asking bread, pardon, light, and
guidance. Says one of the company
present: It was wonderful to watch the
play of emotions that convulsed his coun
tenance. He became deathly pale, and
his eyes, turned tremblingly upwards,
were wet with tears. .As yet lie had not
spoken. The silence could be felt; it had
become absolutely painful, until at last the
spell was broken as it by an electric shock,
ns his rich-toned voie, from white lips,
syllabled forth '-Our Father, which art
in heaven," &c, with a pathos and fervid
solemnity that thrilled all hearts. He fin
ished; the silence continued; not a voice
was heard nor n muscle moved in his rapt
audience, until, from a remote corner of
the room, n subdued sob was heard, nnd
the old gentleman ('the host) stepped for
ward, with streaming eyes and tottering
frame, and seized Booth by the hand
''Sir," said he, in broken accents, you
have afforded me a pleasure for which my
whole future lifo will feel grateful. I am
nn old man, and every day, from boyhood
to the present time. 1 thought 1 had re
peated the Lord's Prayer ; but 1 never
heard it before, never."
You arc right." replied Booth. "To
read that prayer ns it should bo read cans-,
ed me the severest studyand labor lor
thirty years, and I am far from being sat
isfied with my rendering of that wonder
ful production. Hardly one person in ten
thousand comprehends how much beauty,
tenderness and grandeur can be condens
ed in n space so small nnd words so sim
ple. That -prayer itself sufficiently illus
trates the truth of the Bible, and stamps
upon it the seal of divinity." "So great
was tho effect produced," says our in
formant, that conversation was sustain
ed but a short time longer, in subdued
monosyllables, and almost entirely ceased;
and soon after, at an early hour, the com
pany broke up nnd retired to their several
home, with sad faces and full hearts."
Trichina Si-huts Ukatu of Several Fer
soss From Katiso Diseased Pork. The
trichina lever which prevailed here to such
a fearful exteut a fcw years ugo, says the
New York Sun, of Tuesday, hits agaiu brok
en out oftcsh, and so far with equally fatal
results. ' After a careful sciotific investiga
tion into the causes of this dreadful malady,
the savauts traced it generally to rats, from
which hoja receive it by feeding on them
in sewers ami elsewhere, and these iu turn
impart it to human beings who eatlarglyof
pork. When these aniniacala get into the
human body and effect a lodgment, the case
is hopelefcs. It was proved by this investi
gation that boiling is the surest method of
destroying trichina in meat. Last week
seven boarders iu a German bonrdiog-bouse
in Carlisle street, sickened with this malady
and were taken to hospitals. Two of them
died a day or two ago in the New York hos
pital, and a piece of flesh taken from the
arm of one of the men while he was alive,
when placed under the microscope, revealed
millions of these creatures. It is also re
ported that several deftths have occurred
from the same cause in different parts of the
rity.

MAD-STONE.
Curious History of a Remarkable Mad
Stone. For tho Grst time in onr lifo we Raw, yoa
tsrday, n genuine mnd-stonc, nnd henrd its
history from the owner, who inherited it
from Lis tut her. Tho fortunate pnfwoRsor la
Colnnol B. Lee Milnm. of AVnterford, Mnr
shall county, Mississippi. Colonel Milam is
a prominent citizen of his county, nnd his
statements sot nt rest nny doubts which wo
may hnvo hnd nbout tho efficiency of lfi nind
stono In curing tho bites of mail dogs, cats,
snakes, spiders, or other venomous nn'nnuls
or insects. Colonel I.ee M ilnm is a native of
Madison comity, North Alabama, from
whence ho removed in 1935. Tho family
enmc from Virginia, nnd tho Colonel inherits
also tho middle name, being a second cousin
of (Inn. Kobert K. Leo.
Tho mnd-slonn iu his possession is nbout tho
sizo oT n hen's egg, ns heavy us so much brick
nnd rather more porous, and is of a light
cbyish color. Ono end is flat, ns if it bad
been sawed off, nnd n grain runs through tho
stone from etui to end, ns if it had, iu some
former ni;e, been so much wood or bone.
About fifty years ago this stone was split in
three or four pieces, but was carefully fasten
ed together with n wire, which i-till performs
its office. The stone was brought from Chi
na iu the year 1810, by Dr. Marker. The Dr.
died iu n few year?, and the stono was sold
nt n public sale among his other property.
Mr. Jams Mibin, the Colonel's father, was
tho purclmser, nml nt his death he willed
the stono to the present owner, with the con
dition that nil tho family should have the use
of it as often ns necessary, tree of choice.
As to its virtues, Colonel Lre Milvm states
that it has been applied with success in over
one thousand cases, and has only failed in
two, nnd iu those tho part affected could not
lie successfully reached, lie has used it him
self over two hundred and fifty times. Wbrti
applied it adheres as if by suction, and usu
ally remains on ten or twelve hours. When
the poison is nil extnrcted the stone fulls off
During the process a very offensive stench
fills tlie room, making the nir 6ickcuing iu
tlio extreme. The stouc is then soaked in
warm water from twenty-four to thirty-six
hours, when it becomes cleansed and is again
rnnd for use. Colonel Milam assures us he
can cure nny case of dog, su:ii;o or other bite
where madness or dess.dntii n has not actual
ly set in. Cures have been effected even as
long ns two weeks nftrr the bite. Lest week
the stono was used successfully in several
cases, ft is known for many leagues mound,
and the people come from fur and from near
to be haled.
Colonel Milam has been offered five thou
sand dollars for this wotindcrful stone, but
always refused to entertain the proposition,
lie said, playfully, yesteaday, that he might
sell it for ten thousand dollars if tho buyer
would promise to nlwnys allow him the use
of it. Croat is the mad-stone. Wo are
converted. Wluit says the medical world?
A New Vklocipeoe. The Detroit Ynr.K
Tress says: (Juite n fckokk was created on
tho streets yesterday by tho appearance of a
velncipedist on a tricycle or three-wheeled
velocipede, whirling along at a tremendous
rate of speed. This velocipede was invent
ed nimiul'actured by a gentleman residing in
Ypsilanti, who claims to have ridden on it
from that place to Detroit, n distance ol
twenty-eight miles, find to hate made a mile
iu Ypsilunii, ou Thursday last, in two min
utes nod thirteen seconds. The wheels are
forty-two inches in diumitcr, nnd is propelled
by means of a double handerntik, no treadle
being used ns on other velocipedes. On each
side of tho hub of the forward wheel is a
grooved pulley, ond nttacl.od to the straight
portion of the crank are two moro pulleys,
the four being connected by belts. At each
revolution ol' the pulleys the vehicle is pro
pelled a distance of sixteen nnd a half feet,
and when nu odinnry rate of speed is attain
ed, it runs quite easily. Its weight is forty
nine pounds, and tho inventor claims that it
will sustain . two hundred pounds without
danger of collapsing. It certainly possesses
ono feature that render? it superior to those
now in use, and that is tho comparative ease
with which it can beruuou ordinary carriage
roads.
Tin: Mixr.uAT. Wealth ok Pennsylva
nia. -The product of tho three nnthra
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania for tho
year 18G8 was 13.074,257 tonsa very
considerable increase over 1807. The
bituminous coal product for 18G8 was at
least 18.000,000 tons. It is staled that
43,000,000 was distributed among the
producers. Of the product of the oil le
gions, at least 100,000,000 gallons were
exported, valued nt 52, 000,000 in cur
rency, and adding the domestic consump
tion, the value is not less than 37,000,
000 for 1 10,000,000 gallons of petroleum
produced. The product of iron for 18G8
was ns follows: Pig iron of all kinds,
872,825 tons; from forges and bloomcries
32,104 tons ; rails, 253 3S0 tons ; manu
factured iron, including sheet, plate, hoop,
nails, &c, 205.821 tons, valued at the
current rates at G8,000,OJO. Tlie aggre
gate valuo of the annual product ol these
three articles is f 195,000,000 a sum
nearly three times that of the annual pro
duct of the precious metals iu tho United
States.
Five months since, a Dr. Ridley, of
Boston, amputated the leg of a five year
old son of liia, who bad been injured by
being run over by an omnibus. I1 or
this damage to his son ho collected six
thousand dollars. It now turns out that
the boy's great and next to the great toe
were alone iniured, and tins not Kiimcicnt
to acquire more than two splints, bandages
and a little care, .but, to recover d.im
ages, the Christian father gave him chlo
roform, amputated tlie leg below the knee,
and recovered pay for tho damages he
aloue had caused.
Innocent Keply. The pastor of a
popular church at the South End, on
Sabbath evening, nt the Sunday School
concert, said:
Boys, when I beard your beautiful
songs to night, I had hard work to keep,
my feet still. What do you suppose is
tho trouble with them t
ChilLlains, sir, cried out a little six
year old boy, which notwithstanding the
solemnity of the occasion set the whole
audience in a roar. .
