There was °nee a whin Emperor who made a law, that to every stran ger who came to his court, a fried fish should be served. The e servants were directed to notice if, when a stranger bad eaten the fish to the bone on one aide, he turned it over and began on the other side. If be did, he was to be immediately seized and on the third day thereafter he was to he put to death. Pat by a great stretch ofimperial-, clemency, the culprit was permitted to utter one wish each day, which the Em peror pledged himself to grant, pro viding it wee not to Tire• his life.— Many had already perished in 'conse quence of this edict, when, one day, a count and his young .son presented, themselves at court. The _fish was served as usual, and when the count had removfd the fish from one side, he turned at over, and Was about to commence off the other when he vas seized and thrown into prison, and was told of his approaching doom. Sorrow-stricken, the count's young son besought the Emperor to allow him to die lathe room of his father; a favor which the monarch was pleased to accord him. The count was accordingly released from prig on, and his son was thrown into his cell in his stead. As soon as this had been done, the young man said to the jailors—"You know I have a right to make three demands before I die; go and tell the emperor to send me his daughter and a priest to marry us." This first demand was not much to the emperor's taste, nev ertheless he felt bound to keep his word, and he therefore complied with the request, to which the princess had no objection. This occurred in times when kings kept their treas ures in a cave, or in a tower set .a part for the purpose, like the Em peror of Moscow in these days; and on, the second day of his imprison= - ment the young man demanded the Emperor's treasures. If his first demand was a bold one, the second was not less so; still an Emperor's word is sacred, and hay it% made the promise, he was forced to keep it; and the treasures of gold and silver were placed at the disposal of the prisoner. On getting posses sion of them, he distributed them $ DineelY-SLI an talli Boon he had made a by his liberality. The emperor began now to feel exceedingly uncomfortable. Unable 'to sleep, he rose eaPly on the third morning and went with fear in his heart to the prison to bear what the third wish was to be. "Now," said he to his prisoner, "tell me what your third demand is, that it may be granted at once, and 'that, you may be out of hand, for I am tired of your deniands." "Sire," answered the prisoner, "1 have but one more favor to request of your majesty, which when you have granted I 'shall die content. It is merely that you will cause the eyes of those who saw my father turn the fish over to be put out." "Very good," replied the emperor, "your demand is but natural and springs from a good heart. Let the 'hamberlain be seized," he continued, turning to his guards. "I mire !" cried the chamberlain;."l did not , see anything—it was the steward." But the steward protested with tears in his eyes, that be - had- n%t witnessed anything of what had been reported, and said it was the butler. The butler declared that he had seen nothing of bile matter and tbat it must have been one of the valets. But they protested that they were utterly ignorant, of what had been charged against the count; in short it turned out that nobody could be found who had seen the count com mit the offense, upon which the princess said: appeal to you, ther, as to another Solomon. I ijhody saw the offense committed, tile count cannot be guilty, and my husband is inno cent." The emperor frowned and forth with the courtiers began to, murmur; then,he smiled and immediately their visages became radiant. "Let it be so," said his majesty; "let him live, though I have put many a man to death for a lighter onse than his. But bolo not hung, be is married. Justice is done." Not long Since a shrewd Yankee came to Boston from New Hampshire to engage in business. His first en gagement was to drive a hack for the accommodation of the visitors at that fashionable and elegant hotel, the Revere house. He was soon put in charge of two English gentlemen, who desired to see Boston and its environs. After a brief visit to the Navy Yard they ordered the driver to take them to Bunker Hill. Ar riving there, the twogentlemen spent, hutch time in making kthorough ex amination 'of the ground; and. its Nur roundirige. Having satisfied their curiosity so far as the Monument was concerned, they returned to the hack where they found the driver sitting quietly.npon his seat. "I say, driver*' says one of the Englishmen, "this is the place, believe, where we,Eng, Nehmen •gave yoti•Yankees a thrashing about eighty years since.."

Accordingly he was shown into his sanctum. sanctorum ; and the Governor came forward to moot Squire W., saying "Good morning, air ;I am glad to see you." Squire W. returned the salutation, adding ite. he did so, "have, called on a very unpleasanto•erranitzsir, and want your advice.

The Governnpsat a few minutes in deep thought ; then turning to Squire W. said, "How did,yon treat Mrs. W when you ivere*Ourting her and how did you feel towards her at the time of her marriage ?" Squire W. replied, "I treated her as kitidiy as 1 could for I loved her - dearly at.that time." "Well, sir," said the Governor, "go you home and court her now just as you did then, and love her as when you married her.

" EATH 2. — rfnu. "death watch" (Anobiumstliattim) ie ft very common inmate of our house. Among those who are unacquainted with the habits of insects, therois.a common superstition that the strange ticking sound often beard in old houses is a sign of approachingdeath. The noise, however is caused by, a small beetle which during its boring operations, rubs its neck and thorax (chest) together by which means this (to some persons) terrible omen is produced---a fact which, if more generally known, would save a world of useless anxiety and uneasiness. In the larva state these insects do great injury to our furniture and the wood work of old houses which tbey gnaw continually. When captured this beetle feigns death, and with the, strangest pertinacity, preferring, it is said, certain death under a slow fire rather to betray the least sign of vitality. The "death watch" on ac count of its habits, minute size and dark color is very seldom seen, and, as there ire often several individuals workinglt the same time at their operations the sound seems to pro ceed simultaneously from opposite directions thus adding to the super stitious terror, wherewith by some persons, it is regarded*. The great est evil however to be dreaded from it is the injury it doss through its excavai3ation in the wood work of our houses. It is not larger than a good sized flea, A. FAIR OFFER.-A veteran relates the following : it once happened that a mule driver was engaged in leading an unruly mule for a short distance, which,job proved about as much as he was able to do, and gave full employment for both his hands, as he was thus engaged, a newly ap pointed brigadier rode by him In all the consequential radiance of; his starlight; . when the mule driver hail ed him as follows: "I say, I wish that you would send a couple of men down here to help me to manage this mule." The brigadier, indignant at being so familiarly addressed, sternly re plied: "Do you know who I am, sir ?" "Yes," was the reply, "you are General -, I believe." "Then why do , you not salute me before addressing me? inquired the brigadier. "I will," responded the M. D., if you will get off and hold the mule.

Stillifion. Without any exception, it is the best and - moat cir cumstantial account, if- the whole of it be based upon , fact, of 'ally which we have hitherto seen , ; and, if we dare, say so, is one of the, most dra- Matically detailed accounts of an ap palling.inctdent in 'mationalhistory which-bass ever been * offered- to 'any nation : ' - Some very deliberate, but not at all extraordinary, movements were made by a handsome and extremely well dressed young man in the city of Washington last Friday: At about 111-2 o'clock, A. M , this per son whose name is J. Wilkes Booth, by profession an actor, and recently engaged in oil speculations, saunter ed into Ford's Theatre, on Tenth, be tween E and F streets, and exchang ed greetings with the man at the box office. In the conversation which ensued the ticket , agent informed Booth that a -box was taken for Mr. Lincoln and General Grant, who were expected .to visit 'the Theatre, and contribute to, - the benefit of Miss . LAttra Keene and satisfy the curiosi ty of a large audienhe. Mr. Booth went away with a.jest, and a lightly spoken "Good afternoon." Strolling down to Pumphrey's stable, on C Street, in the rear- of the National Hotel, he engaged . a saddle horse, a high strung fast 'beautiful bay mare, telling Mr. Pumpbreys that Jte should call for her in the middle of the after noon.

Prom here be Wpdt- to the Kirk wood Hotel, on the_corner pf Pepu sylTartia avenue and Twelfth strqq, where, calling for a card and a sheet ofnote, paper, he sat down and wrote upon the first as follows For 41: r.

To this message, 'which was sent uR by the obli. ing r y engaged. 3;G: 7 ;3oath arnife - 71.= - 7 turning to his sheet of note paper, wrote on it. The fact, if fact it is, that he bad been disappointed in not obtaining an examination of tbe Vice President's apartment and a, knowl 7 edge of the Vice President's probable whereabouts the ensuing evening in no way affeeied his composure. The note, the contents of. which are un known, was signed and sealed within a few moments. Booth arose, bowed to an acquaintance, and passed into the street. His elegant person was seen on the avenue a few minutes, and was withdrawn into the Metro politan Itotel. HE' VISITS HIS STABLE. At 42. M. he .again appeared at Pumphreys' livery stable, mounted the maro he had engaged, rode leisurely up F street, turned into an alley between Ninth and Tenth streets, and thence into,:; an alley re loading to the rein' of Ford's Theatre which fronts on Tenth street, be tween E and = F streets. Here he alighted and deposited the mare in a small, stable off the alley, which he had hired some time before for the accommodation of a saddle horse which he had recently sold. Mr. Booth soon afterward rbtired from the stable, and is supposed to have refreshed himself at a neighboring bar-room. THE SCENE AT THE THEATRE At o'clock the same evening, President Lincoln and Speaker Col fax sat together in a private room at the White House, pleasantly con versing. Gen. Grant, with whom the President had engaged to attend Ford's Theatre that evening, 'had left with his wife for Burlington, New Jersey, in the six o'clock train. Af ter this departure Linepin rather, reluctantly determined to keep his part of the engagement, rather than to disappoint his friends and the dienee. Mrs. Lincoln, entering the room and turning to Mr. Colfax, said, in a half laughing, half serious way, "well, Mr. Lincoln, are you going- to the Theatre with Me or not ?" "I suppose I shall have to go, Colfax," said the President, and the Speaker took his leave, in company with. Ma jor Rathbcme, of the Provost Marshal General's office, who escorted Miss Harris, daughter of Senator Harris, of New York. M. and Mrs. Lincoln reac'hed Ford's Theatre at twenty minutes before 9. o'clock. The house was fated in every part with a large and- brilliantly attired audience. As the Presidential party ascended the stairs, and passod be hind the dress circle to the entrance of the private box reserved for them, the whole assemblage having in mind the • recent Union victories, arose, cheered, waving hats and ,handker chiefs, and raangitStinig • every other, aecuetorded sign of.enthnsiasm.

It evident ly pleased Mr. Lincoln, who turned laughingly to his wife and made a re mark which was not overheard. THE BOX. The box in which the President sat consisted of. two boxes turned into one, the middle_ partition - being removed, as on all occasions when a state party visited the theatre. The box was on a level with the dressir de, about twelve feet above the stage. There were-two entrances—the door nearest to the wall having been clos'ed and locked ' the door nearest the bal ustrades of the dress circle, and at right angles with it, being open- and left open after the visitors had enur ed. The interior was carpeted, lined with crimson paper, and furnished with a sofa covered with crintsou-vel vet, three arm chairs similarly .cover ed, and six cane-bottomed chairs:— Festoons of flags hung before the front of the box against,a background of lace. THE ARRANOEMENT OP THIS PANTY. President Lincoln took one - of the arm chairs and seated himself in= the front of the box in the angle nearest the audience, where, partially screen ed from observation, he had the best view of what was transpiring on the stage. Mrs. Lincoln sat next him, and Miss Harris in the opposite att gte nearest the stage. Major Rath bone sat just behind Mrs. Lincoln and Miss Harris. These four were the only persons in the box.. THE - PLAY. The play proceeded. The au dience at Ford's, including Mrs.:Lin coln , seemed to enjoy it very much. The worthy wife of the President leaned forward, her hand upon her husband's knee, watching every scene in the drama with amused at tention. Even across the President's face at intervals swept a smile, rob bing it of its habitual sadness. • TILE ASSASSIN'S PRELIMINARIES TO FLIGHT About the beginning of the second act, the mare standing in, the stable in the rear of - the . theatre, ,was dis turbed in the midst of her meal by the.entrance of the young man who had quitted her in the afternoon. It is presumed that she was saddled and „bridled with exquisite care.. BOOTH ENTERS THE THEATRE Having completed these prepara tion§, Mr. Booth entered the theatre by the stagedoor ; summoned one of the scene-shifters, Mr:John Spangler, emerged through the same door with that individual, leaving the doOr open and left, the mare in his hands to be 1 : Oa' tiI I IJ I LP UPON Oligeia l siitaa bly and richly dressed than usual; walked thence around to the front of the theatre and went in. Ascending to the dress eirele, be stood fora Miff) time gazing around upon the audi ence, and occasionally upon the stag; in his usual graeeful manner. He was subsequently observed by Mr. Ford. the proprietor of the theatre, to be slowly .elbowing. .his .way through the crowd that packed .the rear of the dress-circle, toward the right side, at the extremity of which was the box where Mr. and Mrs: Lincoln and their companions- wets seated. Mr.. Ford casually noticed this as a slightly extraordinary syrup.' torn of interest on the part of an ao tor so familiar with the routine dale theatre and the play.. The curtain had arisen on the third act, and Mrs. Mountchessington and: Asa Trenchard were exchangipg vi vacious stupidities, when a young man, precisely resembling the one de= . scribed as T. Wilkes. Booth,.appeared before the open, door of the Presi-, dent's box, and prepared to enter. THE ASSASSIN AT THE BOX DOOR' The servant who attended Mr.- Lincoln • said politely : "This is the President's box, sir; no one is per 4• mitted to enter." "I am a Senate," , responded the person, "Mr. : Lincoln; has sent for me." The attendant gave way, and the young man parsed into the box. • - art TBN BOX. As he appeared at the door taking a quick, comprehensive glauke at tha , interior, 'Major Rathbone "Are you irware, sir," he said, cciarte:.l ously, "upon whom you are intrud- : , ing ? This is the President's box, and no one is admitted." The intro- der answered not a word. Fastening' his eyes upon Mr. Lincoln, who li4d, half turned his head to ascertain what, caused the disturbance, he stappi3d! 'quickly back without the door.
