ApriL
Swelling tul nml fond suggestion,
Waiting of perfume,
Tearful rapture, thrilling question
Of restraint or bloom,
Life nil dreamlessly nslecping,
As in death, but now.
Upward to the sunshine creeping,
April, that is thou !
Mystery's authentic dwelling,
Faith's expanding wing.
Maiden loveliness foretelling
Fuller blossoming,
Prophet of the new creation,
Priestess of the bough.
Month of the imagination,
April, that is thou !

The Assassination of Lincoln.
f W. H. Taylor, an Eye-witness, in Les
lie s Weekly.)
About the middle of the third
act a shot was heard and imme
dtately thereupon rang out John
Wilkes Booth's cry, "Sic semper
tyrannis"; not after he reached the
stage, as has been stated in some
accounts; neither did he jump from
the box full height, with arms out
spread and upstretcbed, as we often
see him in illustrations. On the
contrary, he placed both hands up
on the ran ot the box and swung
himself over in that manner, there
by lessening the fall by the distance
of his own height. One of his own
spurs caught in the Ameriman col
ors with which the box was drap
ed and he probably landed his
whole weight on one foot. On
striking the stage he pitched for
ward on all fours, aud I then saw
the blade of a long stiletto or dag
ger glisten in the footlights, as his
hand lay on the floor. He quickly
rose to his teet and took; one or
two uncertain steps, then, turning
to face the audience, drew himself
up in theatrical attitude, and,
swinging his arm in a half circle,
made a grand nourish with the
dagger, and was off the stage in a
flash. Next came the piercing
and horrifying shrieks of Mrs. Lin
coln, and then arose a fearful com
motion. Directly enorts were
made by some parties to get into
the box from the outside, but the
door was barred from the inside. I
next noticed a military officer
standing ou the shoulders of anoth
er man and endeavoring to climb
up to the box from the stage.
Meantime, the Presideut had re
mained sitting in his chair with his
head bent forward, but I distinctly
saw him rise once to his feet and
in a dazed sort of way attempt to
take a step or two. He was not
upright, but half ereci. Just then
Major Ratbbone came to his assis
tance, and supported by the latter,
he sank back into the chair. " About
this time I noticed Miss Laura
Keene, who had reached the box
from the private way back of the
stage, and who was said to have
brought a glass of water which
might refresh the President. The
bar against the door having been
removed from the inside, several
people went into the box from the
dress circle, and little more could
be distinguished thereafter.
Strangely enough, an assassina
tion plot seemed to have been un
derstood at once, for word was
passed around that the place would
be blown up. There was a general
rush to vacate the theatre, and
from our position we were neces
sarily about the last ones that could
possibly leave the place. On near
ing the doorway we saw two men
approaching from the passage way
back of the box with the form of
the President, carried on an im
provised stretcher as it now seems
to me a window shutter or some
thing of that nature and we stop
ped to let them pass. They were
hastening from the building as well
as they could, and the President's
head was thrown back and hanging
somewhat down. He was quite un
conscious, seemed perfectly limp,
and was bleeding slightly from the
wound in his head. Just as they
passed by I glanced on the floor,
aud seeing a crimson blotch on the
piece of paper herewith illustrated,
I picked it up. That the marks
thereon are the life-blood of Abra
ham Lincoln is as certain as that
he was shot on the date and in the
place mentioned.

V MIGHT WAS RIGHT.
Interesting Struggle Tor a Leg of
Mutton.
Whfle a farmer was cittlns hop
poles In one of the northern countries
3f Pennsylvania ho raw a half-irrowu
bear cross Clear Creek with the 1'3
of a sheep In Ua mouth. He was on
the point of dashing down tne slo;e to
kill the young shtcp thief with U S
ixe, when a much larger bear waddled
across tho stream In the wako of the
cub. In a moment the big uear over
took the llttlo one. pitched into It,
snatched away the leg of mutton and
began to tear the meat from the bone.
The nniall hear picked Itself up, glar
ed at the bis bear, and whimpered and
whined, as though the loss of the mut
ton had almost broken its hoart.
While It was giving vent to it3 leei
iiiE, a still larger bear came crashing
through the brush. It dasheu past the
crying youngstor, pounced upon tho
second bear, and surprised It so sud
denly that It released Its hold on the
mutton. The second bear then gave
battle to the third, and wtille the
scrimmage was going on, the little
bear recaptured the leg and made off.
with It. The third bear soon whipped
the second one, which ran away, ov
ertook the little bear and forced it to
drop the mutton. The little bear had
another crying spell, and while It was
whining, the third bear took the leg
away from the second once more. It
lugged the leg in It mouth to the little
bear, and the latter took the leg in
Its teeth, shuffled off a few yards, and
climbed into a beech tree. The sec
ond bear promptly ran past the third
one, and started to climb the tree.
It was not quick enough, for the third
bear pulled It down gave It a good
cuffing and made It clear out. Aa
soon as the little bear saw that the
second one wasn't likely to meddle
with the leg of mutton any more, it
backed down the tree and shared the
meat with the third bear. The farmer
who had witnessed these proceedings
was so amazed that be did not at
tempt to molest the actors at all.
What Persia Buys.
Persia buys chiefly cotton yarns,
thread and tissues, sugar, tea, wool
en tissues, fancy goods, petroleum,
clothing, iron and manufactures of
furniture and .glassware. Were it
not that the new National Bank of
Persia Is obliged, or forfeit It char
ter, immediately to loan the Persian
Government $3,333,000 at 9 per cent
lue bank concession would be a per
fect snap. It has priority over all
offers on the same terms in regard
to the mines, the pearl fishery In the
Persian Gulf, the construction of
roads and railways, and will have the
right to issue banknotes when the
Imeprial Bank of Persia ceases to do
so. The London Times, . However,
says: "The Imperial Ban of Per
sla possesses the sole privilege of is
suing banknotes in Persia for SO years
to come." Foreigners are excluded
from Participating In the new bank
