where we were attending the few wounded, who
only amounted to four or FIVE during the day.

selves with glass, looking out Of a window in
the upper story at the French artillerymen on

BOOTH, THE ACTOR

y This very able performer, able when he chooses
to be 80, has gone through short engagement al
the Park Theatre, with decided success, and
among the rumors concerning him the latest i'd
that he has taken the temperance pledge. lfthis
be SO, we hope he will keep it; there is no diff

age, frmness, and decision are required in sus-

az Early one morning last week Mr.. Fallan,
keeper Of the Tombs. going out of his office from
the wing leading into Franklin street, saw Booth
supporting himself by the iron railing, shvering
with cold and intoxicated, looking pale and Desc
late, and frownng on the grey battlements Of that
gloomy prison. Aware that he was announced
to play that evening at the Park Theatre, Mr..
Falan at once determined to get him into the
prison for safe keeping; 3d. shaking him cordially
by the hand, he invited him in, and as the watch
was just dismissed, and the old woman who sold
hot coffee and pies in the vestibule had not yet
removed her stand, he was in hopes that a little
refreshment would revive him. Seated by the
stove in the Office, his blood gradually began to
warm, without abating the fumes of the liquot
".W You'd you like to walk through the prison and
see the curosities and arrangements ~ said Fal-
Ian. LEAD on, I'll follow YOU" replied Booth.
The worthy keeper unlocked the iron door, and
carried him through the long corridors Of the
prison, pointing out to him all that was worthy
Of observation, while Booth, with folded arms and
scowling brow, started as the bolts were with

troduced to the pirates cell Booth grasped his
hand, and gazed intensely on the face Of the un-
fortunate cuprit. "Sit down, and let us talk 70
this learned Theban." !" How do you do, Mr..
Booth" said the pirate, looking at him with min
gled curiosity and pity. They seated themselves
on the bunk, and in a few minutes Booths eyes
closed, and he fell asleep on the mattrass of the
condemned criminal, Babe watching him with
great interest, while Mr.. Fallen sent word to his
friends where he could be- found, who came at
the proper time and conveyed him to the theatre,
and that night he performed with energy and
ability, unconscious Of the startling scenes Of the

A PHILOSOPHICAL LOAFER-WTTH ONLY TWO
cENTs.--An evening or two since, as we were
passing up Broadway, our attention was arrested
by solioquising loafer, who stood leaning a.
gainst the railing Of the Park, and holding forth
to himself in the following rather odd, amusing,
and philosophical manner

us very politely; but sang out as we left him
