There is a fine story being told,
that Booth, the murderer of Presi
dent Lincoln, had not premeditated
the assassination of the President
previous to the day on which it was
done. The story runs that on the
evening on which he Booth com
mitted the murder he placed a 6tate
ruent of his reasons for the assassi
nation of Lincoln, in the keeping of
nn actor, with the request that the
statement should be published in the
newsTKipers after the flight of Booth,
but the actor became frightened, and
instead of publishing the statement
he burnt it The statement should
have said, as the story now runs, that
the planning of Surratt, Booth & Co.
was to 6teal and carry the President
into the Confederacy ; but when Rich
mond fell ai:d Lee surrendered, Booth
was seized with- a fit of frenzy and
committed the murder. To all of
which the Now York Herald ays :
There are some very romantic
stories floating through the country
villag-es of Virginia in regard to the
assassination of Mr. Lincoln and the
love affiiirs of John Wilkes Booth.
One of them, to the effect that Booth
and Rolei t Lincoln were in love with
the daughter of the late Senator Hale,
of New Hampshire, and that a bitter
disappointment was the motive of
assassination, fades away before the
cold denial of Mr. Lincoln ; so that
it was not love that did the unfortu
nate business. Mr. Ford's theory of
unpreiheditation is somewhat shaken
by a correspondent who asserts that
Booth was heard to declare that the
man who killed Lincoln would "eter
nal fame."
A later version of the story, than
the above, was told last Saturday,
June 22, which reads as follows :
Mr. John T. FortLin his statement
f the assassination of President Lin
coln, does not tell the whole story.
The package containing the state
ment of John Wilkes Booth was de
livered to John F. Coyle, editor of
The .Yaiional Intelligencer. It was
never opened, but was destroyed in
the presence of several prominent
pentlemen. An eye-witness relates
that on the night of the assassina
tion of President Lincoln, a private
dinner -party was in progress in a
ba k room at Yormley8 restaurant,
in WashiTijrton, at which were pres
ent Geneali Baird, liobert Johnson,
the Hon. Samuel J. Randall, John
Morrissev, Jhn F. Coyle, editor of
The Xailonal Intelligencer, . and one
other gentleman. During the pro
gress of th dinner a waiter, who had
beTi out on the street, returned and
stat,! that the President had been
fchot at Ford's Theatre. The news
e?eatd great' eonsterotrtioft in the
party, who at? first bought the waiter
was drunk crazy. Liter, hen
they were' assured that it was- a fact,
and t&at John Wilkes Booth was ac
cused of the crime, John T. Coyle,
with blanched features and trem
bling lips, said: Gectlemen! This
very day I met John Wilkes Booth
on the market space. He was
on a bay mare, and rode up to me
and handed me a sealed envelope,
saying, as he did so : If you hear of
me within twenty-four hours, publish
this ; if you do not hear of me with
in that time, destroy this,' and rode
away. " Here is the package,' con
tinued Mr. Coyle, producing a letter
envelope from his pocket ; " what
shall I do with itt "Destroy it at
ofice," said Mr. Randall " They will
hang anybody who knows anything
about the assassination, no matter
how innocently they may have come
by their knowledge ; don't open it
burn it just as it is!" "Yes," said
Mr. Morrissey, "burn it up, for God's
sake, at once." The doors were care
fully locked. A fire was made in the
grate, and the mysterious envelope
and its contents were carefully burn
ed. Even the ashes were carefully
collected and placed in a dish ; water
was poured upon them, and the two
were mixed into a paste, which was
afterward put into the fire and burned

Iirprovefeent8 of Washington City
It is remarkable that the Demo

found-sufficient time, outside of in

the material interests of the great
Capital city of the nation. While
the city has been very much unprov
ed within the past few yean, and its
streets and avenues transformed from
a series of mud puddles into beauti
ful drives, bordered with trees, so as
to give it the name of " a forest city,"
yet the burden of taxation: has been
purely local, and the general govern
ment has borne no just part of it,
though the Government buildings

Washington belongs not to the Dis
trict of Columbia, nor to any one
section, but to the whole country,
and deserves the generous support
and fostering care of every American
patriot, so that its advancement be
worthy the rapid strides of this great

A II u ni Ian Skeleton Inside of a
Horse.
From Iht Virfinia Citj Enterprut
A miner in the Black Hills, writing
to a friend in this city, tells of a hor
rible reminder of the fearful snow
storms of last winter, and of the
perils of those who were caught out
and lost their way on the plains. He
says that recently, while he and two
others were crossing the country,
they came upon the skeleton of a
horse, within which was the skeleton
of a man, with the grinning skull
looking out at them from between
the ribs of the animal, like a pi is
oner peering through the bars of his
cell The two skeletons told the
whole 6tory. The man had killed his
horse, cut him open, and crawled in
side of him, thinking to thus escape
perishing of cold, but the flesh of the
animal froze solid, and the man was
as much a prisoner as if he had been
shut in by walls of iron. The wolves
and carrion birds had stripped the
greater part of the flosh from both
skeletons. The miner concludes his
description by saying : 'It was a sight
I shall never forget. I can see it now
whenever I close my eyes."
Tacks In the Spirit's Feet.
Low skeptical fellows are always
"exposing spirits." The mediums
scarcely get hold of a good thing, when
somebody comes a grab game of some
sort and breaks up the seoance. It

A base-minded, scheming man obtain

Webster habitually materialised, walk

making not the slightest sound of a

have very large beads and aud always
fall points upwards, upon the floor
where Daniel Webster always walked.
The consequence was that when the ex
pounder of the constitution came out of
the cabinet and begun to walk across
the room he suddenly paused, and,
lifting one foot, applied his band to the
sole thereof. Upon taking another
step he paused again, and in a low
voice remarked, "Ouch!" Shorlty after
this be lost his balance and sat down on
the floor, and immediately became very
