On a cool, cloudy day In March, '69, 1 drove with a wagon and team of horses over the ground covered by 3ooth In his wild flight from Washington the night he assassinated Lincoln. I followed the exact route Booth pursued, for a distance of nearly forty mi3, to the house of Dr. Mudd, near the village of Eeantown, St Charles county, Maryland, where he had his broken ankle set. After this he and his companion, Ilarold, rode seven miles further, where they struck the ferry on the rotomac to Virginia, crossed the rivet, and penetrated as far as Garrett's farm, where the one was shot and killed, and the other made a prisoner. The object of my mission was an interview with Dr. Mudd, one of the alleged conspira. tors in the murder of Lincoln. Tie had re turned to his home from the Dry Tortugas, where he had been banished for life, but was pardoned by President Johnson'after four years' confinement. On the trial of the con spirators he came within an ace of being hanged In fact, It was as close a shave of the noose as any I ever remember and yet, practically, Mudd had no more to do with the assassinatlonof Lincoln than the child un born. But in those days (186S) a fierce and vindictive wave of passion rolled over the country and victims were demanded to ap pease the cry for blood. Any ore against whom the least suspicion existed was ruth lessly seized and hurried off to the old Capi tol Prison, in Washington. Booth's original intention was to abduct presidenl Lincoln, and to carry him down to . ' J 1 v ireinla, over precisely the same route that I he took when he attempted to make his es , cape, and deliver him over to the rebels. For six months before the fatal Good Fri day evening, April 14, lSfiS, Booth had fre quently tiaveled over this route between Washington and Virginia via Maryland, and had made himself acquainted with every tree, and every turn on the road. He visited the houses of the people, paid no little atten- i tion to the girls, stood unlimited whi9ky to j the men and made himself generally popular. I All thi3 time he was preparing for theabduc. ! tion of Lincoln, and it Is understood by those ; who know the facts of the case best, that the i idea of assassination never came Into hia head j and was nevei hinted at, until the surrender 1 of Gen. Lee, less than a week before the an l ful crime was committed. Among those whose acquaintance he cultivated was Dr, Mudd. hut n tinns with whom ho .nimhr tr. ingratiate himself did he breathe the purpose he had jn Y,ew jIe rpreten,le(i to be very fona of hunting and fowling, and as St. Charles county, Maryland, is famed for its wild game and spoitsmen, no suspicion of his motive was entertain ed. There was a numerous Catholic population in the county and Booth was on the best of terms with Father Flanagan, parish priest of Beantown, and was well recommended to his congrega tion. At a place called by two letters, T. B.f was a tavern where Booth was well known , and where hundreds of dollars Were spent by him on drinks for the rustic frequenters. At tlie moment vhen Booth shot Lincoln, Spangler, the stage carpenter of Ford's The atre, was standing In the lane back of the rear entrance to the stage, holding Booth's horse, a fine, well-groomed blooded bay. It took less than three minutes from the time Booth jumped on the stage from the Presi dent's box, after doing the fatal deed, until he was mounted on his horse and breaking away down the cobble-paved lane with the fpeert of the wind, the sparks flying from his horse's hoofs as they struck the uneven pav ing stones. From the lane he turned into F street, continued along to Four-and-a-IIalf street, and then down to Pennsylvania ave nue, wheeling to th east and bearing on by ' the north Winn of tlin fanitnl : ulc UUI1" ""'g OI Hie 4,-apilOI He swept swiftly past the east front of the white and ! silent building, and struck the continuation I of Pennsylvania avenue.

This was quickly repaired by a handy man in the tavern, who remember ed well, four years after, what an enormous drink of brandy Booth swallowed before re mounting his horse. No time was lost in getting forward. Both fugitives kept well together on the wings of the wind. HpvaiiH I T. B. the road lu-mmsc rgn lnn.i,. .1 .... I rmitl,ri. 0u ' . . !

Flying along this dark and gloomy hich way what thoughts must have fi'.led Booth's mind ! In every nodding pine branch lie must have imagined an arm of vengeance stretched out across the road to smite him 1 When nine miles from Beantown he bad to turn to the left, and take a kind of bridle path through a strip of pins forest. Who'll envy bis thoughts as In the darkness and sol itude created by the overreaching trees be could help reflecting that, no matter to what end of the earth he might fly. the avenging hand of an outraged nation would reach him and punish him for his unpardonable crime ? After emerging from the forest path he had to ride through a number of fields, the road taking that course along the headlands. At 4 o'clock In the morning he reached the fence that surrounds the plot on which stood Dr. Mudd's dwelling. Booth and Ilarold dismounted. The latter opened the wicket lu the fence, with Booth leaning heavily on his shoulder, for his broken ankle was now giving him great pain ; both moved forward to the entrance door. The knock was an swered by Mrs. Mudd, with a light in her hand, and, as she told me four years subse quently, she was shocked at the appearance of Booth. "His eyes," she said, "had a most unnatural expression, either from ex cessive dn'nklng or excessive mental excite ment, I don't know which. His hair was In disorder, his clothes covered with mud, and he appeared unable to stand." Booth was taken Into the parlor and laid upon a lounge. Dr. Mudd was then called and asked y Booth to examine his leg and see what was the matter with It. To de this it would be necessary" to pull off his boot, but, as it was very close fitting the pain of the operation would be excessive, so the Doctor took out his knife and cut the boot-leg down from the top and around at the Instep. lie then slip ped off the remainder of the boot from the foot, and Mrs. Mudd offered one of her soft woolen slippers in its place. The Doctor ppent some time feeling for fracture or an induration, and could discover none, but at last found that It was a clear, break of the leg. just as a stick of candy might be broken In the middle and leave two clean smooth surfaces. ITe then dressed the leg and bound It tightly at the point where the break occurred, putting on a boot made of pasteboard, extending from the instep to a point below the knee. The booting that he cnt off he threw away in a corner, and never thought more about it, and yet it was this boot-leg that came within a hair of hav ing him hanged, and as it was had him sen tenced to the Drj Tortugas for life. Neither Mndd nor his wife had the faintest idea that Booth had assassinated the Presi dent, and In the remote part of the country where they lived they were not likely to hear the news for several days. Booth told them a plausible story about being out hunting and falling .-,ff his horse. After an hour's stay in Mudd's honse, during which time Booth consumed a bottle of whiskey and three ham sandwitches, both he and Harold started on horseback, Booth feeling much pain from his leg, for the Virginia ferry, seven miles away. They crossed the ferry, with their horses and pulled up at Garrett's farm, where Booth was killed a few days af ter, and that was the end of the wild ride for life of John Wilkes Booth. To go back to Dr. Mudd. Little did the unsophisticated physicial dream of the trials and troubte he was destined to undergo for having entertained Lincoln's assassin. On the following Monday a company of cavalry, under the command of Colonel O' Beirne, which was then, in conjunction with several other companies, scouring the coun try in all directions, stopped at Mudd's house and made search for Booth. One of the cavalrymen picked up the discarded boot leg lying In the corner, and scrutinizing it all over, found inside the leather the Ini tials "J. W. B." That was enough. To the cavalrymen it was proof strong a holy writ that Mudd was one of the conspirators. They then threw a rope around his neck, fastened one end to the pommel of a saddle, and liter ally dragged him on foot all the way to Washington, leaving his beautiful wife in an agony of grief, and with a family of four children to be looked after. Booth rode the forty miles from Washing ton to Mudd's house In six house. It took my team of fast steppers ten hours ;o ?over the same distance. The breaking of the sad die girth of his horse was an evidence of the belter skelter pace at which he rode, but In vain the riding, for if he had ridden to the end of the earth he could not have escaped the fate that befel him. IlEXUY V. O'C'ONNER. What Cacsed a Goose to Get Tired of the Water. One would hardly believe that a goose could be broken of the habit of going into the water, but a case of this kind has occurred at Clinton. A boy owned a large pander, and he thought It. would be a good joke to tie a fish line to the leg of the gander, with a hook properly bated, and watch the result. So he fixed the gander with a line on one leg about ten feet long, at the end of which was a pickerel hook and a frog for bait. The gander was driven into the mill pond, where he swam around for half an hour, turning flip flaps, and diving for feed. Suddenly the gander felt a pull at his leg, and he looked as surprised as the "Lone Fisherman" when he caught awhale. The gander seemed to think there was some thing the matter with Kim, and he looked down at his feet under water to try and see Into It. The pickerel began to yank, and the gander made up his mind that he was not well and wanted to go home, ne started for the shore, but tlie pickerel on the hook want ed to go the other waj, and it was nip and tuck for a time. The gander, to those on shore who were watching, seemed frighten ed, and at times would act as though saying his prayers and asking for mercy, and then he would get mad and try and fly ashore, when the pickerel would pull him back. They say it was a fine study to watch the expression on the features of the gander, ne seemed to realize that a change was about to come over him, and while he hoped for the best, be seemed to be prepared for the worst. After half an hour of the hardest work he had ever done, the gander came ashore, and dragged a six-pound pickerel up the bank, and the boys came and took off the pickerel and put on another frog, and tried to induce the gander to go and take another swiin. but he wouldn't have it. They couldn't drive him in. He looked at them as he ran through between their legs as though saying, "Boys, this may be fun for you, but you have crush ed a noble nature. Not any more pickerel in mine, if you please," and he flew off toward the barn, squawkiug as though his heart would break. This was several weeks ago, but since then the gander has never gone into the water. The definition of "aesthetic" is a love of the beautiful something light, etherlal, airy beans, for instance. The nearest Infallible remedy is Fercjta. SURROUNDED BY FIRE. Life upon the "Border" is always attended with more or less danger and excitement, j and, even Iowa, In her advanced stage Is not exempt from it. There are still large tracts of unsettled pralile over which devastating flames sweep annually, notwithstanding the fact that our laws attach heavy penalties to the crime of setting out fires at this season of the year. On the evening of November 2, 1R80, 1 rode out for the distance of seven miles, to wit ness a prairie fire, that I might accurately describe It to our readers. The settlement extends about five miles east of Bur Oak Grove, and from thence an uncultivated prairie, twenty -five miles In width, offers a grand scope for the flames. On the evening In question, we ascended an eminence and beheld one unbroken line of fire extending from north to south, as far as the eye could reach, now bending to the east for a mile or two, and now to the west, bounded on one side by a blackened waste, on the other by a brown expanse, over which the flames were steadily advancing. As It moved over the short nnland grass, it was not more than a foot in height ; in oth er places It shot skyward in fiery jets, as it struck the swampy ground, where reeds and flags grew rank and tall, while, scattered over the blackened space, huge pyramids of flames lighted the scene for miles around, marking places where tofts of hay were mak ing midnight fires. The wind was low, and the line moved leisurely along, in strong contrast with the evening before when a young man residing with his widowed mother upon the outskirts of the settlement bad discovered the fire sweeping down upon them, borne by a fierce head-wind that threatened to destroy all be fore it. The usual mode of protecting isolated farms, Is to plow a strip of land about twen ty feet In width around the premises, and in ordinary cases the fire will not pass over ; but it was evident that, with such a breeze, plowing would be of but little avail, and in company with the nearest neighbors, the -oung man undertook the hazardous work of fighting it by back fires, that is, by burn ing the prairie in small patches before it has time to sweep down in one extended line. In places it was easy enough ; in others, It re quired all their efforts to keep it from getting i beyond their control. For several hours 1 they kept it within bounds, but suddenly a ; whirwind passed through tbe fire, scattering j sparks and burning grass in a luminous . shower about them. The fire started anew in a thousand pla ces, as sparks caught and ignited, expanding ' into flaming sheets of light, which grew wider and wider with every breath of the wind. "Merciful Tleaven ! we are surrounded !" exclaimed the older man, as he glanced hastily about for some means of escape. There was no time for consultation ; the flames were sweeping down from the east, borne by the resistless force of the wind which caught the tall grass as it burned off at the roots, and hurled it forward upon the Inflammable vegetation beyond. If they retreated before it, they must pass over a piece of swampy ground, where grass and weeds grew rank arid strong, with every prospect of being overtaken in a worse place than where they were. On came the flames like a wrathful fiend. Every moment the air grew hotter and the sparks thicker as the dangerous clement was borne towards them on the wings of the wind and each acting upon bis own Impulse fled In different directions. The younger man ran straight toward the flames, and al though the burning siinee appeared to be only a line, he found it much wider than ho supposed, and instead of clearing it with a bound, as he had intended, he was obliged to pass over several rods of burning grass, and when he reached the space already burned, his hair and eyebrows were badly singed and his coat on fire. Quickly drawing off thearment, he succeeded in extinguishing it. and then looked around expecting to see his neighbor, but the older man had run out Into the slough, and lay down with only his head above the water to await the coming of the flames. In a few moments the place was completely hidden from view by the crimson sheet that swept over it ; how a living being could live in the midst of so much flame and smoke seemed too deep a mystery, aid as soon as the grass had burned sufficiently away the voting man returned to look for his missing" comrade. When the smoke bad cleared the man rose trom bis place of doubt- , I ful refuge and stood gasping upon the shore. 1 "now are you ?" asked the younger, ad- j I vancing toward bim. j '! am nearly boiled, that's about how I ' am," he said, as soon as he could recover i breath enough to speak. "The flames heated the air until I was obliged to duck my head under, then the burning reeds fell into the water until they j set it to steaming, and when 1 raised my j head I got a breath of hot air, that made me think that my choice lay between boiling ! and roasting ; I'd like to see the fellow that kindled the fire in my place for awhile ; how fared you ?" "I am scorched some, but very glad to es cape so easily, although I have not the least j desire to try again. But hark ! what was I that?" I The two men listened anxiously for a mo j ment, and the sound was repeated, striking j a chill to their heart far more terrible than I anything they had before experienced. I It was a human cry, and so full of agony j and despair that the two men trembled as it j I came borne across the waste, fearfully wild j I and distinct above the roar of the flames, j "Tis a woman's voice," said the elder 1 ! man, as a shudder ran through his frame at thought of a fellow being perishing horrloly, so near that they could hear the heart-rending shrieks. ' "Look, look 1" shouted the younzer man, ! pointing in the direction from which the j sound proceeded, where, darkly outlined ' m. iL. 1.1 .1.. a fAtna Id fi,riH WH V ? - I ible retreating before the flames which every . iuic ii ' ' LaJUilitJIll ailJCtt Mjva. I "O God ! it is my Lily ! my o n precious : .mm t T her no wiit to save her?" ex- i claimed the older man. despairingly, as his j gaze fell upon the fleeing kit' ' "Alas, none," were the muttered words i that rose to the lips of his companion, as bis i eye measured tho distance, and he saw how j utterly futile would be any attempt to res-cn- 1 Th" father comprehended what a single glance had revealed to the oiner, mat. me flames would overtake her before they could traverse half the distance and it would only involve a useless sacrifice of two more lives. He raved lu agony. A lifetime of torture seemed to concentrate In the moments as they watched the fragile girl, as he sped hopelessly on as if striving to evade, If only for a moment the fat that awaited her. "Look ! look I" again shouted the yount, ; man, pointing to a dark object which neither had previously observed. It was a horseman, riding at full speed toward the fleeing girl, dashing straight In toward the fire as if willing to meet the flames half waj. To the men who watched his course It seemed like rushing Into the very laws of death, but the horseman never faltered. With an encouraging shout to the girl, who now ran to meet him, he dashed onward, un-' heeding the current of heated air and the 1 stifling smoke that was wafted toward him. "Too late ! too late ! He cannot repass the ground," groaned the father, as his eyes measured the hopeless distance that lay be tween his child and safety. "If there is a man In the world who can save her it is John narpei," said his com panion encouragingly. "John Harper ! Is It he ?" gasped the father, "and it was only yesterday that I I platform so that he broke a leg, and the train told her never to be seen in his company ; carrying the mysterious stranger started, again, and now the brave fellow is riding !

While the events narrated in the previous "See 1 he has reached her ; and be swings j chapter were taking place, Etheiberta Copp her to a seat behind him, and wheels about was pacing restlessly up and down the front to recross the ground," and with a cheering - parlor of a boarding bouse in Madison ave shout the young man endeavors to encourage 1 uue.

"It matters not ; it Is but a hopeless race with the winds, and 110 horse in America could run it. O, my poor child, O, my brave boy I" and the father covered his face with his hands and groaned In agony. The rider knew the strength of the animal as well as any one ; he could f eei the pant ing sides and note the slackened speed of the willing beast, and clearly realize the liabili ty of the horse to carry his double burden I across the intervening space, but if he could urge him to maKe a few more desperate I bounds he could reach the solitary tree that stood like a lone sentinel In the'midst of that I scene of terror and desolation. j The horse already staggered with exhaus- tion, but with whip and voice he urged him ' on, until trembling in every limb, he paused ' beside the tree. I "Quick, Lily, climb for your life !" he j said, standing erect in the saddle, aud hclp t ing her as far as he could reach, theu swing- ing himself up he assisted her to a seat r.pidi j a branch out of the reach of the scorching j flames. I The horse stood for a few seconds, as ir to j iecover breath for a final effort, and fieed : from his burden, made another effort for his I own safety. He staggered forward, and fell j upon his knees, just inside the burned re j gion, where the men were standing, and not j a moment too soon. The father ran to him, ; and throwing his arms around bis neck, ca I rcssed him in tears of gratitude, j "I'll take it all back, John. You're good j enough for the President's daughter ; take ' Lily and my whole farm with lif-r, if you : want to," he said, as he grasped the brave man's hands as he descended from the tree, j "I'll accept your offer, minus the farm," i was the smiling reply. "Hew came you out here, Lily?" asked ! the father. "I came to look for you. You had been . gone so long that we feared that the flames ; had overtaken you," she answered. "Well, don't you ever get John in such a j scrape again." j And she never did. .drMnr's Magazint. IXGLRSOLLS SrELtll TO A JURY. I Col. Robert G.
