PURSUIT AND CAPTURE OF THE MURDERER BY THE OFFICER IN COMMAND. In a recent number of the New Orleans Picayune appears a statement purporting to come from Captain Edward P. Dorlierty, now a street contractor in New Orleans, in which are detailed some of the incidents re lative to the capture and killing of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Lin coln. There are said to be so many glaring inaccuracies in the article, so many state ments that are not substantiated by facts and by the records of the War Department, that a history of the exciting event has been obtained from the lips of Lieutenant L. B. Baker, now a clerk in tne Auditor General's office, who had command of the party which captured the murderer. At the time when Booth shot President Lincoln April 14th, 18r5, in Ford's theatre General L. C. Baker, chief of the detective force of the War Department, ami Lieuten ant L. B. Baker were in JS'ewYork city looking for bounty jumpers. Secretary Stanton telegraphed these two officers to come to Washington immediately. They arrived in Washington the morning of the third day after the terrible deed was com mitted. Cavalry had scoured the country for miles around and telegrams were sent over all the lines. General Baker gained all the information he could in regard to the route Booth and his accomplices would pro. bably take, and concluded that they would go down tliu Potomac, taking in Surrattville, cross the river, and make their way to Rich mond. He sent a telegraph operator and a detective down the river by boat to Port I Tobacco and vicinity, with orders to tap the wires and let him know if there was any trace of the missing fugitives. Near Chap peila Point the detectives found a negro whom they brought to Washington, and who stated that he was positive he saw both Booth and Harold, whom lie knew well, cross ing the river in a fishing boat. At first the General discredited liis statement, but on showing him several likenesses of the assas sins and others, the colored man pointed out Booth and Harold as the men whom he saw. An escort of twenty-five cavalrymen, under Captain Dorlierty, were placed at Lieutenant Biker's command, who had orders to "bring a live."

Colonel Coo per had rallied the country in every direction, . and was valuable on account of familiarity i with the mads and for his undaunted courage i and bravery. The party went on board the , John S. Ide, and steamed down to Helle ; Plain, near the mouth of A'iuia Creek, i They landed about ten o'clock at niht, ar.d I commenced the search. I The .dash was made through the lane in I short order, and the house surrounded. I Lieutenant Baker dismounted, went on to i the piazza and thundered at the door. The I old man Oanelt threw up a window near j and asked in a frightened .tone, "What is j the matter?" Lieutenant Baker seized him by the arm, ar.d ordered hint to unfasten the door and strike a litjlit. This lie did and the ' Lieutenant entered the hall. Mr. Garrett ! soon appeared with a tallow candle. The j Lieutenant took the candle and asked : "Where are the men who arc stopping with 1 he old man wa,s very much ex- , and lie stammered out that "they went j to the woods when the cavalry went by." j The Lieutenant said : "Don't you tell mc j that afiain, they are here." The sight of the ; pistol brought young Garrett to the front, j who said : "Don't injure father, and I will , tell you all about it; they are in the barn." j About this time Colonel Conger came into ! the hall. Lieutenant Baker took youni? ' Garret by the collar and led him out on the j piazza, while Conger formed the men to sur- ! round the barn. The Lieutenant then otder- ' ed (Janet to lead the way. Before reaching j the barn Garrett said: "I have forgotten ; the key, but my brother has it, who is sleep ing in the corn crib men sleep in the house, ami were afraid they would steal the horses and get away." The ! brother soon appeared with the key and de ! livered it to Lieutcrant Baker. The barn j was then surrounded, and Lieutenant Baker ! unlocked the door, Up to this time Booth : and Harold seemed to be asleep. Colonel j Conger came up, a rustling was heard inside the building, as if the inmates were rousing ! up from sleep. Lieutenant Baker said to J Conger, "Garret must go in, demand their surrender, and bring out their arms." To this Conger assented, but Garrett was re- lunctant to obey, saying "they are desperate fellows nnd armed to the teeth." Lieutenant Baker seized him, opened the door and shoved him in, and then closed the door. The ieutenant hailed the assassins, and said : "We send you this young man, in whose custody we find you, and you must surrender your arms to him, or we will set fire to the barn and have a bonfire and a shooting match." A low conversation took place in side the building, and Booth was heard to say to Oarrett : "D n you ! You have be- the men aroused and on the alert, for they had become so exhausted with their ride of two days and two nights, without rept and with but one meal, that it was almost impos sible to keep them awake. Strict orders were given not to fire, as it would endanger the lives of the men who were surrounding the building. Harold begged and entreated in the most piteous manner to be let out, and the Lieutenant ordered him to put his hands out of the door, which was partly ajar, lie stuck his hands out, the Lieutenant caught hold of them, pulled him out and immediate ly closed the door. Harold was then turned over to two soldiers. He kept making asser tions that he knew nothing about Booth, and Colonel Conger threatened to tie him and gag him if he did not stop his noise. This had a quieting effect. It had been decided to fire the buiiding, so that Bo:th would be driven tothesmalldoor, where it was thought he could be easily captured. Another parley ensued. Lieutenant Ba ker again made the demand for his surrender. Booth said, "Who are you, and what do you want of me? It may be that I am being ta ken by my friends." The Lieutenant said : "That makes no difference ; we know who you are, and want you. We have fifty men armed with carbines and pistols around the barn, and you cannot escape." After a pause he said, "Captain, this is a hard case, I swear. Give a lame man a chance. Draw up your meu twenty yards from the door, and I will fight your whole command?" The Lieutenant replied, "I did not come to fight, but came to take you ; have got you, ; ana you naa oetter surrender. Booth re I plied : "Give me a little time to consider." ! The Lieutenant said : "Very well, take time, j You can have five minutes." He was heard j to come forward to the door, or near the door. As he came he said : "Captain, I be i lieve you are a brave and honorable man. I i have had half a dozen opportunities to shoot i you, and have a bead drawn on you now, but i don't want to do it. Withdraw your forces a hundred yards from the door and I will ' come out. Give mo a chance for my life, j Captain, for I will not be taken alive." I Lieutenant Baker said : "We have waited long enough. Xow come out or we will fire the barn." Col. Conger then said : "We ; had better fire the barn ;" and to this Lieu '. tenant Baker gave his consent. Booth saiil, j in his peculiar stag" tone, "Well, my brave j boys, prepare a stretcher for me, then." After a pause of about half a minute, he was . heard to say: "One more stain on the glo rious old banner." Just as be ceased speaking Colonel Con ' ger applied a match to some hay which he drew through a crevice, and in an instant the inside of the buiiding was a blaze of light. stinging reprimand and said to him : " Why did you shoot without orders?" The Ser geant took the position of a soldier, saluted the Colonel, and with right hand pointing upward said : "God Almighty ordered me to shoot." At this reply the Colonel mel lowed in his manner, and said : "I guess he did," and then dropped the subject. Col onel Conger immediately started for Wash ington to apprise the authorities of Booth's capture, and Lieutenant Baker and escort remained to bring the body as soon as life was extinct. A neighboring physician was called, who gave it as his opinion that Booth could not survive much longer. Colonel Conger started for Washington a little after he left. The body was sewed up in a saddle blanket, placed in a one-horse wagon, driven by a negro, and taken across the country to Belle Tlain, where the party arrived about dark. The tug Idle was waiting, the body rut on board, and she then steamed up the river for Washington. The capital was reached about daylight in the morning, and the body delivered to Secretary Stanton, w ho ordered it to be placed in the Navy Yard. Here it was kept one day for identification, and the evidence of various parties taken. PARSIMONIOUS rEOPLK. It is a duty of every one to be thrifty ; but it should be kept in mind there is a difference between thrift and mean parsimony. Some people Who are at ease in their circumstances make themselves ridiculous by shabby at tempts at saving. We once knew an old Scotch lady who, though she had a consider able sum of money left her, was parsimoni ous to an extraordinary extent. As she grew old, she grew more miserly, until she window, that he mibt not be. tempted to j which he was probably afraid to sell. It was make too free with it. j quite possible that in Joe's visits to the Thus lived Thomas Pett, whose pulse for j kitchens of the neighborhood he might have the last twenty years of his life rose and fell i helped himself to what he saw lying about, with the funds: who for fortv-two years ' while the cook brought her dish .f broken lived in Clare Market as journeyman butch er ; who lodged for thirty years in one gloomy apartment, which was never bright plied up by coal or candle light or the face of a visitor ; who never treated man, woman, or child to a glass of any kind of liquor; who almost never eat a morsel at his own ex pense ; who never said a civil thing to a wo man ; who would not trust laundress with a pocket-handkerchief ; who considered all must be mad or foolish who did not pile tip gold ; and who tried to bargain for his coffin half an hour before he died. He left two thousand four hundred and seventy-five pounds todis'ant relations, not one of whom he had ever seen or written to. The list of his wearing-apparel taken by a wag in the neighborhood, ran thus : "An old bald wig. A hat as soft as a pancake. Two shirts that might pass for fishing-nets. A pair of sbx-k- ings darned with every color. A pair of old sandals. A bedstead. A toothless comb. A very old almanac. One old chair and : wretched table. A small looking-glass. And , a leathern hag with one guinea in it." j A miser of even more penurious habits j than Mr. Bett was Mr. Daniel Dancer, who , was bom in 1716, and was the eldest of four ' children. His father lived on Harrow Weald i Common, near Harrow-on-the-Hill, where he j possessed property to a very considerable ' amount, which his son Daniel, by a most de- ; termined and whimsical abstemiousness, in- ! creased to upward of three thousand per : annum. The childhood of Daniel Dancer 1 passed without anything rematkahle. It was only when he had attained hi majority ; i scrars from some back kitchen or cupboard. ' Hence the my-tiry of the spoons.

Bent double with rheuma- i that he began to display a "saving knowl tism in her old age, she would not pay any ! edge" perfectly incredible. He had a sifter one to wash or clean her house, but with in finite labor accomplished these tasks for her self. She never would send for a dix-tor, for she pithily remarked, "They cost a power o' siller, and did no good." On bitter winter days we often found her shivering over a single handful of fire ; a small piece of hard cheese and a cup of tea with mouldy bread her only dinner. When she died, she left about eight hundred pounds, besides various moneys in silver, copper, and bank-notes, which she had stuffed rious secret recesses. I to a couple of nephews, who never paid her ! the least respect, and who even grudged the j necessary outlay for her funeral, j An old clergyman of very mean habits got , married when far advanced in life, to the j great surprise of all his acquaintances, who wondered at such an act of extravagance. whose disposition agreed perfectly w ith his own, and as they lived together many years, their stories are necessarily connected, and would furnish the most melancholy instance of the infirmity and folly of human nature. Mr. Dancer's wardrobe might justly bna.-t more colors, textures, and substances than the garments of a company of strolling play ers, and yet notwithstanding his curious patching, his garments often failed to cover his skin, though lie strove to keep all together into drawers and va- i by a strong nay cord aro-.uui ins wat-t. l.uien All her money went i was a luxury to which, in spite of bis avarice, The Lieutenant then opened the door to i Upon inquiry, however, it w. is found that he ', give him a chance to come out, and from his had married entirely from motives of econo- j position on the outside could see every move- j m3-. The lady of his choice was the w j nicnt made by Booth. He seemed to be 1 leaning against the haymow, supported by ' his crutches, with his carbine in his hand. ! He sprang forward toward the fire, with the ! seeming intention of shooting the man who 1 touched the match. But the intense light inside the building prevented him from see ing objects in the darkness without. He j then turned and, with the aid of one ciulch, came rapidly in the direction of the door, ! but halted about the centre of the floor. Here j he drew himself to his full height, and seem ' ed to take a survey of the terrible situation. ; He looked first at the roaring flames, and j then his glaring eyes rested upon the open j door. He resembled an infuriated wild ' beast at bay. A cloud of smoke rolled to j the roof, swept across the room, then came low of a respectable school master, who after her husband's decease was in the habit of lend ing him the lothes of the defunct ; so, think ing that marriage would put him in the re mainder of the said garments, he proposed, and was accepted. His stipend was, with glebe and other things, about two hundred pounds per annum, yet by dint of sheer nig gardliness he died leaving many thousands. He made a point of picking up and taking home anything he could find a piece of coal fallen from a passing cart, an old lucifer match box, pieces of stick from a neighbor ing wood anything to save outlay in his own house. He never wrote on a sheet of paper, always using blank pages of other people's letters, and turned all envelopes outside in, so as to make them available for his own use. After his death, a drawer full down to the floor on the other side, and he appeared to be standing in an arch of fire i of turned envelopes, gummed together in a and smoke. He remained but an instant in j very ingenious way, was found.

Booth reeled forward, tlnew up one hand, dropped his carbine, and fell face downward on some hay which was scat tered on the floor. Lieutenant Baker rushed in, followed by Colonel Conger and young Garrett.

The j door was opened, Garrett came out with a j bound, and the door was again closed. Iieu- j tfiiant Haker had the light in his hand, and ', young Oarrett saiil : "If you don't put that j light out he will shoot every one of you." The light was placed a short distance from j the door, but so as to light the whole front of the bui'd ng, which hail been once used as a tobacco house. The light was necessary ; in case the assassins should make a break for the door and get out. The soldiers wt ie dismounted, but refused to stand in ihf fight ; and they were allowed to seek a sr.fe posi- i tion. Lieutenant Iiaker again demanded ' their surrender. Boot It replied in a clear, j ringing tone, "Captain, there is a man in ! here who wishes to surrender very much."! At the same time a conversation took place j within, and Booth was heard to say to j Harold, "I) n you, leave me, will you ? i Go, I don't wish you to stay," and in a few ) minutes Harold rapped at the door, saying, ; "Let me out; I know nothing of this man." j Lieutenant Baker said : "Bring out the ; i arms and you can come." lie replied, "I j have no arms?" The Lieutenant said: "You have a carbine and pistol, bring them, ! and we will let you out."

A i leather belt was around his body, with a i bowie knife and anotherrevolverin it. Lieu ! tenant Baker then accused Colonel Conger J of shooting him, which the Colonel denied, ' and said "Booth shot himself." This the : Lieutenant claimed was impossible, as he saw him every moment from the time the j hay was fired until he fell. Colonel Conger i said : "The man who did-shoot him shall go I back to Washington under anest." Upon further inquiry it was found that Sergeant 1 Boston Corbett had fired the shot from a 1 navy revolver through a crevice in thereat ! of the ham. This was a most difficult feat to perform, for the ball struck Booth on the side of the neck, a little back of the centre, anc. passed entirely through, breaking the spinal column. The fire was making such progress that Booth was taken out of the building and carried a short distance and placed under a tree. He began to show signs of life. Water was dashed in his face and a little poured in his mouth. His lips began to move, and he faintly whispered, "Tell mother tell mother." He seemed to gain further strength, and then in a more distinct vaice, said, "Tell mother I died for my country." Day was breaking, and the heat from the burning barn was so intense that the wound- I ed man was removed to the piazza of the i house. The young ladies brought out a nar- I row straw bed, and on this Booth was laid, j A cloth soaked in ice water and whisky was j placed in his mouth, which revived him. lie j opened his eyes, seemed to take in the situa tion at once, add said: "Kill me! Oh, kill me quick I" The Lieutenant said : "N'o, Booth, we do not want to kill you. and hope you will recover. You were shot against or ders." He then was unconscious for several minutes, when he again revived. His chest heaved, his chin dropped ; he put out his tongue and seemed to wish to know if there was blood in his mouth. He was assured there was none, and then said : "Tell mother I died for my country. I did what I thought best." He showed no signs of life in his body below the wound, with the exception of the action of the lungs. He said : "My hands," when one of his hands was raised so he could see it, and it was bathed in ice cold water. His hand was placed by his side, and he said: "Useless, useless !" which were he was not wholly a stranger ; for at an ear ly period of his life he used to buy two shirts every year; but for some time before bis death be never allowed himself more than one. After this shirt got into his possession it was doomed to 1: tog upon his bn k till it fell off in rags, never being either waheil or nicnded. After bis si-b-r's de.ith. a pair of sheets as black as .w.t-h.igs were di-e-.-vt -red upon the beds, but these Mr. I'aiii er would -never suffer to be removed ,- and when they were at length worn out, they '-veie never replaced; so that after that time lie relin quished the use of li:i"ii to sleep in. II never would allow any one to make his bed and at the time of his death it was observed to be filied with sticks which he had stolen from different hedges. His ro"in was not swept for many years. Mr. Dancer's ingenuity in concealing his money was most wonderful. His bank notes were usually deposited with the spiders ; they were laid among the cobwebs in the cow house, and Ids guineas were placed in holes in the chimney and about the fire place. The house, or rather the heap of ruins, in which Mr. D. nicer lived, an 1 which 1 after his death Captain Holmes succeeded to, was a miserable decayed buiiding, dreadlul in its external appearance, for it had not been repaired for more than half a century. : But though poor in outward appearance, the ruinous fabric was rich in the interior. It j took many weeks to explore its cordei.ts. I One of the richest escritoires was found to be i ' a dung-heap in the cow-bouse, from which a 1 sum little short of two thousand five hundred , : pounds was disinterred ; and in an old jack- . : et, carefully tied and strongly nailed down to the maimer, were found in bank-notes i ! and gold five hundred pounds more. Several ! large bowls filled with guineas, ha if guineas, and quantities of silver were discovered at ; different times in searching the corners of the house, and various pan-els of bank notes ' stuffed into old cushions and chairs. In the ' stable Captain Holmes found some jugs of silver money. The chimney was not left i unsearched, and well repaid the trouble, for : in nineteen different holes, all tilled with soot, were found various sums of money, amounting to more than two hundred pounds. in Southwark.

This was done, atnl in a letter written by the donor the charitable gift was enclosed and mailed to ; the country in which the pool fellow was j horn. A few weeks c-lap.-ed and the Nun of i Kenmare's answer was received, which is as i follows : I C'ONVKNT OF Boon, Cl.APr., K F.N M TIE, County Kerry, March ISs.i. -Vi Irar I'oor- ?'. tr; For a l.mir time I did not receive a letter that affected me o deep ly as yours, written as it was from your prison" cell, and fioin there thinking of the sufferings of others, forgetful of your own, and sending the stun of i.1 from your own hard earning to relieve the distress of others.

As he had no friends or relations in the city, be was indebted to the kindness of an old woman who sold pies for a morsel of bread till he could procure himself em ployment. Some time after, he was engaged as errand-boy by a tallow-chandler, Mrs. Dipthe chandler's wife being "a lady of London mould," could not endure his rustic manners and awkward gait ; so she sent him off one bitter winter's night, with the remark, "Your master hired you in my absence, and I'll turn you off in his."

There was one expens-, however, that weighed heavily on his mind, and often robbed him of a night's rest, and that was shaving. He often lamented that he bad never learned to shave himself. He used to console himself under this affliction j by hoping that one day beards would become : fashionable. He made a promise to himself that as soon as he bad amassed a thousand j pounds, he would treat himself to a pint of ! porter every Saturday. Fortune soon rut it i in his power to perform this promise, and he continued to treat himself till the additional ' duty was laid on porter; he then reduced his portion to half a pint once a w eek.

He was never know n, even in the depth of the coldest winter, to light a fire in his room or go to bed by can dle light. He loved good cheer at the cost of another.
