Ancient Fine Arts.

To the Editor Of The NeW York Herald:
Respecting the relics of porcelain ware
found in the late exhumations at Herculan-
cum, which have been forwarded to the
Society of Antiquities in London, whereof
your correspondent says the bottle resembl-
ing brakes Plantation Bitters was un-
doubtedly placed among the ruins by the
agent of Dr. Drake, we desire to state that
he is incorrect in every respect. Ifa bottle
was found there bearing our lettering, the
language of the Ancient Romans was diff
ferent from the accepted literature of that
day. Our Agent has other business than
this in Europe, and has not been in Italy at
all. No doubt Americans carry Plantation
Bitters to Rome; but trying to impose upon
society of Antiquarians in this way seems
quite useless, and we do not appreciate the
joke. 1t is unnecessary for us to spend
money in Europe while we are unable to
supply the demand for these celebrated
Bitters here. Respectfully,

Mrs. LincOln's Health-Ex-GOver
or Aiken i'm WashingtOn-The
Disposition of Booths BOdY.

y New YORK, May 5.-The Tribune's Wash
ington special says: Mrs. Lincoln's ner-
vous system seemed stronger and more
composed yesterday, but she is laboring
under great depression again in contem-
plation of the burial of Mr.. Lincoln at
Springfield to-day. She will leave the
White House as soon as permitted by her
physician, and proceed directly to Illinois.
Gov. Aiken was closeted this morning
with President johnson. He had long
interview with Secretary Stanton last even
ing. He has the freedom of the city and
enjoys the society of members of his family,
who came ON with him, from all of which
it is argued that he is here in aid of the
Government rather than to receive its dis
cipline. -a vrsrr.i r.r l.... -.-. r.. a
The Washington Republican says: Neith-
er of the statements detailing the myste-
rious manner of finally disposing of the
body of Booth is true. Col. Baker and his
brother Lieut.. Baker are the only two per-
sons living who know what disposition
was made of it, and they are under, oath to
reveal the fact to no human being. Any
statement processing to detail how or where
the remains were deposited is not only
guess-work, but serious reflection upon
the faithfulness OF Colonel Baker and his
brother.

fishes letter in which he says: Whoever
asserts he had anything to do with the as

Booth left here on the 9th of October, after
nine days. residence; that officers of the
Ontario Bank state that Booth purchased a
bill on England for sixty pounds, and at the
same time deposited 1856, which remains to
Booths credit. Booth stated he was going
to run the blockade. Tucker was not here
when Booth was. He believes the procla-
nation was gotten up for q pretext for diff
ficulty with Canada. He has sent for a
copy of the evidence, so as to disprove it.

replied Mrs. Partington, looking over her
spectacles at the Elder, "there's where he
was wrong. What did he want to try so
many kinds of doctrine for when Pinker-

have kept him perfectly regular" The
Elder confessed the thing had never struck
him in that light before, and the old lady

has been started here for raising fund to
be applied to the purchase of farm home
stead, with an appropriate mansion, near

churches and elsewhere throughout the
country, with the name of the donor on a

on the west front and in the rotunda of the
