The Radical Abuse of the President.
1t is really amusing to see the arts
the radical papers resort to in order to
vent their spleen and malignity upon
the President Thus the Chicago Tri~
bune gives an interview with the spirit
of Wilkes Booth, as follows:
"At length the shade of John Wilkes
Booth was requested to grant an inter
view to the inquirers. John frequently
comes to the SeaHcss held at this house,
and is always very noisy and demon
stratiVe, but on this occasion he was pc
culiarly vigorous The table moved
about the room, rose and fell violently,
rocked and swayed to and fro, and
whether its answers were one rap for
negative, two for a doubtful, or three
for an affirmative, they were generally
given with startling emphasis John,
in answer to the queries of those about
the table, gave an almost entirely new
version of mis- assassination of the Pres
| ident. He said he refused to shoot thro'
the hole in the door made for him by
| Spangler; that ne went into the box
and stood before the President, but that
! the ball entered the Pre.idents head
from the back, because he turned away
Just as the pistol was fired. He did
not break his leg in Jumping on the
stage, but afterward by fall from his
! horse. Mrs. Surratt concealed him sew
| eral hours in closet in her house. He
planned the thing himself, and intend
ed also to kill Andy johnson. On be-
ing asked if he was "sorry now that he
had killed Lincoln he responded by
peculiarly vehement mo, and if he
was glad be had not killed Johnson
he replied by an equally demonstratiYe
ives" From this point the queries
and answers ran as follows:
DO you like Johnson"
Yes" Very emphatic
''he Is just the kind Of q man you
wanted TO see President, is he not2'
Yes" Again vigorous and enthu-
siastic as a table can be made to be.
"Do you like his vetO2
HYes."
"WouId you kill him now, if you
could?'
"No"-ra little silence and then an
other emphatic mo
"Will he ever have jeff Davis tried
and punished2
"tlo." One laundering rap
"Jeif Davis principles, Johnson's
and your own are about alike, are they
uot?
'Yes."
Would you like to see Johnson re-
elected PRESIDENT
Some hesitanoy, then mo.
Another Triumph OF Genius-Des-
tined TO supereede tlre Use cf wood
or Coal.
Mr. John q. Birkey, a practical
chemist, residing at 2ij South Sixth
| street, has invented and patented
stove, for all the ordinary purposes of
cooking and heating, without the use
OF coal or wood, In its construction 1t
is original and simple, and for its in
tended uses decidedly effective. The
very many objections to gas stoves,
hitherto presented to the public, are
entirely overcome 10y the invention of
| Mr.. BiTkey. Its peculiarities consist
in its intensity of heat, perfect combus-
ton, durability, economy, cleanliness,
and absence of carbon.
An idea may be formed of its power
from the fact that, with Si.C feet o. gas
per hour, a gallon of water will boil in
eleven minutes; or. in other words, only
about one foot of gas is used to accom-
plish this much. The brightest metal
kettle or pan used on this stove will be
perfectly free from carbon or lamp
black.
For heating purposes alone, this IN
vention Is worthy of peculiar and popu-
lar consideration, for it may be made to
take the place of patent heaters. For
parlors, drawing-rooms, bed-chambers,
nurseries, offices, studios, or the largest
class of buildings, it would prove
| most valuable companion, for several
reasons. There is no danger from ire
its heat is of even temperature; there Is
no smell of coal gas, so injurious to
health; no ashes to be removed; no
scuttle is required; no raking out OF
cinders, &c An ordinary-slzed room
may be kept at a temperature OF sew
enty degrees in mid winter through
the medium of a single burner, such
as is used for Illuminating purposes,
For cooking, the stove possesses ad-
mirable qualities, and must IN the
course of time become a fixture OF the
kitchen as well as the parlor 1t IS
unnecessary to present what may de
considered an anslx tical description OF
the several parts OF the stove, nor even
more than to allude TO the dltlused or
concentrated flame used in generating
heat The stove should be examined
by men of science and of capital Mr..
| Birkey desires to call the attenten OF
capitalists to this triumph Of genius as
the base of fortunes. The amount OF
heat obtained through the medium OF
this stove may be a thousand per cent
cheaper than the same amount derived
from wood or coal Persons who feel
an interest in this wonderful invention
should call at the laboratory of Mr.
Birkey, as above stated.-PhiladsPhia
