TltUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION.
My name, said the narrator, is Carroll
Jackson Dor.elson, and I am a bod rela
tive of Andrew Jackson Donelson, who
died recently at Memphis, Tennessee (at
the Teabody hotel), for which city I am
now en route to assist in the settlement of
his estate.
During the war between the sections I
was a captain in the Eighth Texas cavalry.
At the close of the struggle I returned
again to the sea, and in 1SG found myself
in Ran Francirco. There I shipped on
board the ship Kate Uoober, bound for
Shanghai.
Reaching Singapore, we took in a cargo
of mahogany, sandal wood, rattan and su
gar. It was in the month of September
when we sailed from Singapore, passing on
the western side of the IVlew inlands. It
was early in the morning that we first saw
the I'elew islands. A"e had with us a sea
man named '-Curry Chicken." who had
fished and coasted among these islands for
years. Putting a couple of casks on boaid,
as we were short of water, wc pulled in for
the island.
"When a mile and a half from shore wc
laid on our oars, as the natives were too
numerous for us to venture among them
without a parley. As tliey gathered
around us in their canoes "Curry Chicken"
talked with them, and learned that white
men were on the inland. Leaving a guard
with the boats, we took the caks and
skirted along the shore, and ahead of us
we discovered two tents peeping out among
the foliage. Knowing from the natives

earnest, lie Mated that but ci.e person in
his party knew that he was Booth, and
that was the female who accompanied hiui.
"And she," he said, "is my w ife."
How he made his escape from the Uni

did not leave Washington city for thirty
days after the assassination. During his
wanderings he had been in Mexico, South
America, Attica, Turkey, Arabia, Kome,
and latterly in China. !
"While in Home he met John Surratt. In
China he entered the imperial service un-
der Ward, the American Irishman who
commanded the emperor's forces against ;

being under the command of an American

bearing of the youthful actor throughout
the performance, until the sccno where
Richard and "Richmond" fight with such

over all the tumult came tho ominous
words, "Booth ! Booth !" meaning, very :
likely, the elder Booth. The name, the
situation, and the startling words, so pierc
ingly distinct, caused him to become for-
getful of where he was. The excitement i
proved too much for him, and the curtain 13u. Frailklill Street, Johnstown. 136.
