THE DIARY OF JOHN WILKES BOOTH.
"Ti Amo," April 13, 14, Friday, the Ides.
Until to-day nothing was ever thought of sacri
ficing to our country's wrongs. For six mouths
we had worked to capture. But our cause being
Alnidst lost, something decisive and great must
be done. But its failure was owing toothers,
who did not strike for their couutry with a
iieart.
I struck boldly, and sot as the papers say.
I walked with a firm step through a thousand
of his friends, and was stopped, Dut pushed in.
A colonel was at his side. I snouted "Sie Sem-
fer" before I fired; In Jumping broke my leg.
passed all the pickets, rode sixty mil-s tiiat
sight 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
troubles lo him, and God simply made me tho
Instrument of his punishment.
The country Is not, April, 18C5, what it was.
ThlB forced anion is not what I have loved. I
care not What becomes of me; I liavt no daulra
toonllive my country. This night, "Before the
deed," I wrote a long article and left It for one
of the editors of the ffatioixal IntellUjcncer, In
which I fully set forth our reasons for our pro
ceedings. He, of the Government.
Friday, 21. After being hunted like a dog,
through swamps and woods, and lust night
being chased by gunboats till I was forced' to
reinrn wet, cold, and starving, with every
man's band against me, 1 am here lu despair;
and why? For doing what Brutus was honored
for, what made Tell a hero; and yet I, for
striking down a greater tyrant thau they ever
knew, am looked upon as a common cutthroat.
My action was purer than either of their. Cue
boned to be great. The other had not only his
country's, but his Owii wrongs to aveiigd. I
uoped for ho gulu. I knew no private wron.
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 extend to me. God canuot
pardon me If I have done wrong. Yet I caunot
see my wrong except in serving a degonerate
people. The little, the very little I leave
behind to clear my name, the Goyernment
-will not allow to be printed so ends all. For
my country I tiave given up all that makes
life sweet and holy, brought misery upon
my family, and am sure there Is no
TMirrinn in the heaven for me. since man
' condemns me bo. 1 have ouly heard of
what has been done, except what I did my.
"self, and it' fills me wlttt horror. God, try
And forgive me, and bless my mother. To
night I will onoe more try the river with the
Intent to cross, though I have a greater desire,
. ttud almost a mind to return to Washington,
.' and, in a measure, clear my name, which I feel
I can do. I do not repeul the blow I Btruck; 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 I did desire no greatness. To
night I try to escape 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 lie spare me that, and let
me dielbravely I I bless the entire world; have
' ' never hated or wronged any one. This last was
- net a wrong, unless God deems It so, and It's
with him to damn or to bless me. And for this
- brave boy with me, who often prays, yes, before
and since, with a true and sincere hourt was It
crime in him? If so, why cun he pray tho
-" same? I do not wish to shed a drop of blood,
bnt I must tight the course. 'Tls all that's
left me.
BOOTH'S LAST LETTER.
Upon a piece of paper found in the diary, and
supposed to have been torn from It, U written,
the following:
My dear, (piece torn out) forgive me, hut I

THE FASHIONS.
the fabiiiohable season still- at its bright
bahftubts, balls, and operas receptions
by thb foreign ministers the barbbr8
and hairdressers' strike bobbs, mantles,
ribbons, etc.
Paris, May J. That chronic fever called the
Paris season will not abate this Exposition year.
We bave pone through the usual run of balls,
masquerades, and operas; we have undergone
tbe affliction of more parlor music tban we
cared for, but still we are reballluR it In a con
tluued circle of endless muteuxes; and we are
rcuanquettng it In hlcrb. places at the rate of six

aer, Rive uis i.rs& ohiuibi uinuT to one nunarea
and twenty guubls this week, and a large ballon
the 9th.
The foreign MlnKcre, Including General Dlx,
hold their receptions on their stated dajg, and
what with foreign princes cominir or going, the
little we have kit to put on our backs has to be
renewed very olton. Husbands do not, fortu
nately, complain; lor wives have got Into a way
of making out their hills which turns tho hard
eel case into the simplest reasoning possible.
"Whenever dear Ocur says a word about the
money going fast, of course I never lay the
fault to my tailor, as he deserves," said Pauline
de B. to a friend, a she was coming out of
church; "1 invariably set the cook's account
before him, with Exposition prices on every
item. Nothing could be so convenient as em
broidered satins and the high price of fowls,
both acting simultaneously, as it were, for the
bliss of families."
Could oilier simultaneous blessings attend us
In the course ot our pilgrimage on earth, we
shonld nil be very thankful, doubtless: but sinue
undertakers have entertained serious ideas of
gcttlug up a strike, liko the tailors and hair
dressers, my opinion la tbat we are In a very
false fioaitioD.
The coiffeurs bave clone tr themselves. Their
first objection was to be treated like waiters by
their Bhaveii customers, who, on leaving shav
ing premises, deposited two sous in a tiu box
for the presiding gentleman of the strop. Their
natural pride was indignant; they made their
wink known to be treated like clerks, arid bave
their "remittances" at the end of each quarter.
The heads of the principals of tbe Urm were
averse to quarterly pqyments. Tbey preferred
the payments volunteered by their customers,
and the strike ensued. I hear a few meetings
have taken place, and that a few speeches have
been delivered by the shaviDg corporation.
Pomatum has risen at the rate of fifty per
cent., and curling paper is being cut into the
smallest possible triangles. Partings down the
back of gentlemen's heads are somewhat oat of
the perpendicular, but spikey moustaches look
sharper than ever at the ends; a good deal of
sticking f la.-ter is observed on the stra cuts,
and binrdu are invading a goodly portion of
man's leHturep. The lords ot creation are not so
well off ns the ladies of the same. It is far
easier to put on false hair tliau to extirpate
what it Killed with Lutural roots.
The Duchess Sl'nie Taucher da la Pagerle
eives n large fete this evening tor the poor.
Young Conneau, the eldestson of the Emperor's
physiciau, and plajinite ot the Imperial Prince,
vhil recite some verses, which are to be followed
by a concert.
Prihess Mathilde gave a party yesterJay
evening, lor which the new poet, Albert
Glatigny, was engaged. Your readers may
remember tbat I spoke of him as being sure to
come to time, though my prediction appeared
paradoxical, for he was then a poor actor at the
Alcazar. He has emerged from be
hind the beer pots there. Not so the new diva
ot those regions, Mad'lle Cornelie. She nightly
showers down the imprecations of Camille ou
Rome to a gapiDg audience, Dot one member of
which a u cruet body seems to appreciate her.
Tbe fashions have perhaps been sacrificed in
this letter, but the fashions of the day are not
all made of velvet, gauze, and tulle.
Kobee, mantles, coctumcs, ribbons, flowers,
and our newest accessories are in reserve for
my next.
