SMITH'S OPINIONS. The other day I made a call, As ladies sometimes do, ' To hear the news my friends eould tell, And tell them what I knew. And as we sat in social chat O'er steaming cups of tea, •'I don't know what we're coming to?" Says Mrs. Smith, says she. "They're making laws at such a rate, It almost drives me wild ; They do not care for God, I think, For woman, man, or child. They've forced the negroes in the cars Along with you and me ; And who knows where they'll force them next ?" Says Mrs. Smith, says she. " Their children are to go to school Along with yours and mine, And if we white folks should object, Our rights we can resign. All social lines must be removed Because the blacks are free; Such things are not to be endured,'' Says Mrs. Smith, says she. "And not content with all these gifts, Bestowed with lavish hand, The negroes must be fed and clothed Throughout the Southern land. The taxes now are high enough, But what they yet may be, "Tis not in human power to guess," Says Mrs. Smith, says she. Sunday Mercury. THE BOOTH DIARY. The diary found in posses ion of J. Wilkes Booth after his capture, has at last been made public. Stanton and Holt certify that it is the same as when it caine into their possession. The diary is as follows: "Ti Jmo," April 13, 14, Friday, the Ides.—Until to-day nothing was ever thought of sacrificing to our conntry's wrongs. For six months we had work ed to capture. But our cause being al most lost, somethingdecisive and great must be done. But its failure was ow ing to others, who did not strike for their 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, and was stop ped, but pushed in. A colonel was at his side. I shouted "Sic Semper" be fore I fired. In jumping broke my leg. I passed all his pickets, rode sixty miles that night with the bone of my leg tearing the flesh at every jump. I can never repent it, though we hated to kill. Our country owed all her troub les to him, and God made me the in strument of his punishment. The country is not, April, 1865, what it was. Tins' forced union is not wnai I have loved. I care not what becomes of me; I have no desire to outlive my country. Thisuight, "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 forourproceedings. He, or the Government . Friday, 21st.—After being hunted like a dog, through swamp-sand woods, and last night being chased by gun boats till I was forced to return wet, cold and starving, with every man's hand a gainst me, I am here in despair; and why? For doing what iirutus was honored for, what made Tell a hero; and yet I, for striking down a greater tyrant than they ever knew, am looked upon as a common cut-throat. My ac tion was purer than either of theirs. One hoped to be great. The other had not only his country's but his own wrongs to avenge. 1 hoped for no gain. I knew no private wrong. I struck for my country, and that alone, a country that groaned beneath this tyranny, and prayed for this end, and yet now behold the cold hand they ex tend to me. God cannot pardon me if I have done wrong. Yet I cannot see my wrong except in serving nay degen erate people. The little, the very lit tle I leave behind to clear my name the Government will not allow to be printed—so ends all. For my country I have given up all that makes life sweet and holy, brought misery upon my family, and am sure there is 110 pardon in the heaven for me, since man condemns me so. I have only heard of what has been done, except what I did myself, and it fills me with horror.— God, try and forgive me, and bless my mother. To-night I will once more try the river with the intent to cross, though I have a greater desire and al most a mind to return to Washington, and in a measure, clear my name, which 1 feel I can do. Ido not repent the blow I struck; I may before my God, but not to man. I think I. have done well, though I am abandoned with the curse of Cain upon me, when, if the world knew my heart, that one blow would make me great, though Idi l desire no greatness. To-night I try to esccpe these bloodhounds once more. Who can read his fate? God's will be done. I have too great a soul to die like a criminal. Oh, may He spare me that, and let me die bravely! I bless the entire world have never hated or wronged any one. This last was not a wrong, unless God deems it so, and it's with Him to damn or bless me. And for this brave boy with me, who often prays; yes, before and since, with a true and sincere heart —was it crime in him? If so, why can he pray the same? 1 do not wish to shed a drop of blood, but I must fight the course. 'Tis all that's left me. Upon a piece of paper found in the diary, and supposed to have been torn from it, is written the following: My dear, [piece torn out] forgive me, but I have some little pride. I cannot blame you for want of hospitality. You know your own affairs. I was sick, tired, with a broken limb, and in need of medical advice. I would not have turned a dog from my door in such a plight. However, you were kind enough to give me something to eat, for which I not only thank you, but on account of the rebuke and man ner in which to—[Piece torn out.] It is not the substance, but the way in which kindness is extended that makes me happy in the acceptance thereof. The sauce is meat in ceremony ; meet ing were bare without it. Be kind enough to accept the enclosed five dol lars—although hard to spare for what we have received. Most respectfully, your obedient servant. ORBEI.Y ON TIIE "LEAGtE." It seems that Horace Greely has in curred the wrath of the New York "Loyal League" of which he is a mem ber, for his action in becoming one of the bondmen of Jefferson Davis. In the New York Tribune of Thursday last, Mr. Greely published a reply, over his own signature, to the committee of the "League" who had cited him toap-1 pear before them and answer for his conduct. He first vindicates his con- j sistency by republishing editorials writ ten immediately after the close of the Rebellion, advocating "magnanimity in triumph," and also, a letter publish ed last fall, in which he advocated "uni versal amnesty." He then assumes the offensive in the following trenchant style: Gentlemen, I shall not attend your meeting this evening. I have an en gagement outoftown, and shall keep it. I do not recognize you as capable of judging, or even fully apprehending me. You evidently regard me as a weak sentimentalist, misled by a maudlin philosophy. I arraign you as narrow-minded blockheads, who would like to be useful to a great and good cause, but don't know how. Your attempt to base a great, enduring par ty on the hate and wrath necessarily engendered by a bloody civil war, is as though you should plant a colony on an iceberg which had somehow drifted into a tropical ocean. I tell you here, that out of a life earnestly devoted to thg good of human kind, your child ren will select my going to Richmond and signing that bail-bond as the wisest act, and will feel that it did more for freedom and humanity than all of you were competent to do, though you had lived to the age of Methuselah. X aek nothing uf jou, then, but that you proceed to your end by a direct, frank, manly way. Don't sidle otf in to a mild resolution of censure, but move the expulsion you proposed, and which I deserve, if I deserve any re proach whatever. All that I care for is, that you make this a square, stand up fight, and record your judgment by yeas and nays. I care not how few vote with me, nor how many vote a gainst me; for I know the latter will repent it in dust and ashes before three years have passed. Understand, once for all, that I dare you, and defy you, and that I propose to light it out on the line that I have held since Lee's surrender. So long as any man was seeking to overthrow our government he was my enemy ; from the hour in which he laid down his arms,he was my formerly erring countryman. So long as any is at heart opposed to the nation al unity, the Federal authority, or to that assertion of the equal rights of al men, which has become practically identified with loyalty and nationality, I shall do my best to deprive him of power; but, whenever he ceases to be this, I demand his restoration to all the privileges of American citizenship. I give you fair notice that I shall urge the re-enfranchisement of those now proscribed for rebellion so soon as I feel confident that this course is consistent with the freedom of the blacks and the unity of the Republic, and that I shall demand a recall of all now in exile only for participation in the Rebellion, whenever the country shall have been so thoroughly pacified that its safety will not thereby be en dangered. And so, gentlemen, hoping that you will henceforth comprehend me somewhat better than you have done, I remain, Yours, HORACE GREELY. New York, May 23,1867. A BAD FOUNDATION.— The Potts ville Standard of Saturday last says, "on Friday of last week a large board ing house at Mahony planes, belong ing to the Boston and Mahony Coal Compaq, which was built over a mine, su?tdehly,sunk,into the earthtoadepth of seventy feet or mqVe, by the caving in of the roof of the mine below. The occupants of the house saw the back building sinking, af s, made their es cape. The cavitjHleft'in the earth is thirty or forty in cliaiyeter.' The roof of the house has been Cached by digging, and three hundred' dollars in money and some of the furniture taken out through a hole made for the pur pose. The building took fire from the upsetting of a stove, and it was found necessary to turn on a stream of water to extinguish ihe flames. Most of the furniture is badly broken, and the house is said to be a complete wreck." —Mr. Youatt, the famous veterinary surgeon, who has been bitten eight or ten times by rabid animals, says that crystals of nitrate of silver, rubbed in to the wound, will positively prevent hydrophobia in the bitten person or an imal. VOL. 61.—WHOLE No. 5,396. THE -MORII.E RIOT. A Plain. rnvarnishMi Account of its Origin. A letter just recieved here from a prominentcitzentravelingin theSouth, well known in political circles of the Northern States, dated at Mobile, May 15, gives probably one of the most cor rect accounts of the late riot in that ci ty that has been prepared. It is brief and comprehensive, and carries npon its face the impress of truth. The whole story of the riot, from its incep tion to the end, is told in a few words. The writer says: I write you from this branch of the "Lord's vineyard" to give you the ptain truth as to the riot last night at this city. While Judge Kelly was speaking a policeman was having a verbal alterca tion with a drunken fellow who was misbehaving, and seized him for ar rest. The crowd immediately around was excited, but not noisy or violent. At this particular time the horsesattach ed to the ambulance of Colonel Shep pard's Fifteenth infantry were fright ened and started to run through the crowd. Of course every person tried to get out of the way; and rushing fu riously in every direction pressed a gainst others; and some person, be lieving it to be a riot, tired a pistol whereupon there was a general firing —sometowards the speaker's stand and some from it. Kelly got under the ta ble and then got away to the hotel, no j one attempting to molest him. There was no person on the stand hurt. The only persons wounded and killed were opposed to the radicals, except one ne gro, who was found dead some dis tance from the scene. The whole affair sprang up in a moment. There were no preparations for it. The party mostly armed were the negroes. There is not a respectable man here who does not greatly regret the occurrence. Ma ny, of course, do not like Ivelley's rad icalism, but there was no disposition to prevent his speaking or break up his meeting by any leading man here. I was at the meeting a while, and all all there seemed attentive and quiet. Judg Kelly came very hastily to the Battle House, and a guard of soldiers were thrown about the house to guard him. He was taken to his meal by mil itary, and seemed afraid to leave here for Montgomery in the regular steamer, having a special boat to carry him from this wharf. He was in no more danger than I was, and could walk the streets with just as much safety. He did not need military protection any more than I do, but he called up on the military for effect. It seemed more martyr like to need protection. It would create more sensation North. It was a trump-card. The whole affair will give Kelly more notoriety than all his other acts combined. I regret that the affair took place, because of the lives that were lost, because of the in terruption of free speech, and because it does gross injustice to the people of Mobile. HONOR THY PARENTS.—AS a stran ger went into the churchyard of \i pret ty village, he beheld three children at a new-made grave. A boy, aboui'teu years ofage, was busily engaged in pVc ing plants of turf about it, while a girl, who appeared a year or two younger, held in her apron a few roots of wild flowers. The third child, still younger, was sitting on the grass, watching with thoughtful look the movements of the other two. The girl soon began plant ing some of her wild flowers around the head of the grave, when the stranger addressed them. "Whosegrave is this, children, about which you are so busily engaged ?" Mother's grave, sir," said the boy. "And did your father send you to plaeetheseflowersaround your mother's grave?" "No, sir, father lies here too, and lit tle Willie and sister Jane." "When did they die?" "Mother was buried a fortnight yes terday, sir, but father died last winter; they all lie here." "Then who told you to do this?" "Nobody, sir," replied the girl. "Then, why do you do it ?" They appeared at a loss for an an swer, but the stranger looked so kindly at them that at length the eldest re plied, as the tears started in his eyes. "Oh, we love them, sir?" "Then you put these grass turfs and wild flowers where your parents lie be cause you love them ?" "Yes, sir," they all eagerly replied. What can be more beautiful than such an exhibition as children honoring de ceased parents ? Never forget the dear parents who loved and cherished you in your infant days. Ever remember their parental kindness. Honor their doing those things which you know would please them were they now alive, by a particular regaid to their dying and carry on plans of usefulness. —lf the Radical to the Ohio Constitution.succeeds at the.next election, 4,000 negroes will be enfran chised and 24,000 white men will be dis franchised. Besides this the negroes will not be subject to military tax or duty, although admitted to equal rights with the whites. Such an amendment certainly should not pass. A YANKEE lawyer who was plead ing the cause of a little boy, took him up in his arms and held him up to the jury, suffused in tears. This had a great effect, until the opposite lawyer asked the boy, "What makes you cry?" "He's pinching me," said the boy. A SMILE.— Oh, the strange witeh ery of a smile! Tell me where is there a heart so stubborn or so cold that it will not acknowledge the charm of a smile? I do not mean the fawning smile of flattery, the studied smile of false hood, the chilling smile of scorn, the cutting smile of revenge, the bitter smileofselfish triumph, the frozen smile of haughty pride, or the mocking smile of hidden sorrow; but I mean that frank, truthful, soul-born smile that bursts like a radiant sunbeam over the countenance when once a human soul seeks the sympathy or communion of another. How purely beautiful or ex pressive the silent language! Words are but impudent mockery in its pres ence! How all-potent its powers! It bids the drooping spirits rise and soar upon the pinions of its own re-awaken ed melody; drives the lurking phan toms of doubt and jealousy from the clouded mind, and fills it with the cheering light of hope, and tells joy to sing again! Such a smile blessed mem ory brings me now. It rested on my pathway for one moment like choicest rays. The face from which it shone was a very plain one, yet at that moment it seem ed an angel's. I never met anoth er smile like that. Memory's loveliest treasures may fade—that one smile must ever retain its heaven-lighted beauty. Often when I turn brain-weary with the ceaseless toil of thought, or heart-sick of the world, its hollow hom ilies, its soulless mockery, or longing for one ray of youth, that one smile in all its pure beauty conies before me and bids me "be reconciled to hu man nature." There is character, too, in a -mile. I care not what may be the countenance—let me see its natu ral smile, and I will tell you of thesoul itrevea lsormasks. Every kind, truth ful smile, is a ray lent us from the bright ness of our spirit home, by which we may lighten the dark places or dispel the clouds which arise along the way of our fellow travelers. They cost noth ing, and I would that in this world of weariness and mourning there might be many more such smiles. CHEERFULNKSS.— Dante places in his lowest hell those who in life were melancholy and pining without a cause, thus profaning and darkening God's blessed sunshine; and in some of the ancient Christian systems of virtues and vices, melancholy is unholy, and a vice; cheerfulness is holy, and a virtue. Lord Bacon also makes one of the char acteristics of moral health and good ness to consist in "a constant quick sense of felicity, and a noble satisfac tion." What moments, hours, days of exquisite felicity must Christ, our redeemer, have had, tho' it has become too customary to place him before us only in the attitude of pain and sorrow. Why should he be alwaj-s crowned with thorns, bleeding with wounds, weeping over the world he was appoin ted to heal, to save, to reconcile with God? The radiant head of Christ in Raphael's Transfiguration should rath er be our ideal of Him who came "to bind up the broken hearted, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." . POWER OF A HORSE'S SCENT. — "There is one perception that a horse possesses, that but little attention has been paid to, and that is the power of scent. With some horses it is as acute as with the dog; and for the benefit of those that have to drive nights, snch as physiciansand others, this knowledge is valuable.
