IRELAND

The Dublin correspondent Of a
New York paper tells us that the
dearth of laborers is generally com.
planned of. by all classes of Irish en-
ployers. Advertisement of Shelp

newspapers, a branch of advertising
quite new to journalistic experience
in the screen Isle" Ee
As no epidemic has ragged in Ire.
land, the whole secret of the depopu-
lation is 10 be found in emigration. -
The returns from the Office Of the
Registrar General Of ireland show
that during the year 1866 there was
a decrease of Al, 900 in the population
of that country, most Of which was
by emigration to the United States
The emigration the last quarter OIL
the year was 1884. The emigra-
ton for the first quarter of the pres.
ent year is said to have been largely
in excess Of the foregoing, and this
process of depopulation will go on
until the British Government affords
Ireland the relief which it needs
Self-interest, the most potent of mo.
tive powers, will yet, we trust, in.
duce the granting of those political
rights, and the breaking of those
ecclesiastical chains which gives vi
tally to the Fenian movement, and
which prevent quiet and prosperity
in Ireland.
The special significance of the last
English Reform meeting was the
prominence given to Irish grievances
and the decided progress made to-
ward an effectual union between the
oppressed Of both islands. Geograph
ically divided, there is an essentia
onenessin theil::wrongs and demands
and there should be an entire unity
in their aims and operations. VIZ
trust that the Fenians will see this
more plainly than formerly, and thai

BOOTHS RODY

Gen'l. Il. B. Baker who was CHIEF
detective of the War Department du
ring the war, and who had charge Of
the assassin's body after he was kill
ed by Boston Corbett, haswrittcr a
book about the secrst- service during
the war, from which we. extract the
following account Of the final dispo-
sition of Booths body.
s'In order to establish the identity
Of the body of the assassin beyond
all question, the Secretary Of War di
rected me to summon number O,
witnesses residing in the cityof Wash
ington, who had previously known
the murderer. Some two years pre-.
yiously to the assassination of the
President, Booth had a tumor or ear.
buncle cut from his neck by a surge
on. On inquiry | aseertained that
DR.. May, well known and very skill
full surgeon, Of twenty five years
practice in Washington, had perform
ed Incorporation. Accordingly / call
ed on DR.. May, who, before seeing
the body, nlinutely described the ex
act 10 cality of the tumor. the nature
and d;.te of the operation, &c. After
! being sworn he pointed to the scar
in the neck, which was then plainly
visible. Five other witnesses were
, examined, all of whom had known
the assassin intimately for years.
The various newspaper accounts, re
ferring to- the mutilation ofthe body
Of Booth, are equally absurd. Gen.
eral Barnes, Surgeon General u. S.
A., was on board the gunboat where
the. post mortem examination was
held, with hisassistants. Con. Barnes
cut from Booths neck about two in.
ches of the spinal column through
which the ball had passed; this apiece
of bone, which is now on exhibition
in the Government Medical Museum
in Washington, is the only relic OF
the assassin's body above ground, and
this is the only mutilation of the re
mains that ever occurred. Immediate
ly after the conclusion of the exami-
nation the Secretary of War gave or
ders as tothe disposition of the body,
which had become very offensive,
owing.to the condition in which il
had remained after death !; the leg,
broken in jumping from the box tc
the stage, was much discolored and
swollen, the blood from the wound
having saturated his understanding
. With the assistance Of Lieut.. l.. B
j Baker, | took the body from the gun
boat direct to the old penitentiary,
adjoining the old Arsenal grounds
The building had not been used as {
prison for some years previously
The Ordnance Department had filled
the ground floors with fixed ammu-
nition--one Of the largest of these
cells was selected as the burial place
of Booth--the ammunition was re
moved, a large fat stone lifted from
its place, and a grave dug the body
was dropped in, the grave filled up
the stone replaced, and there rests
to this hour all that remained of John
j Wilkes Booth. ~

MEXICO.

It's finally announced in Dispatch
cs from Gen'l. Reynolds, command
ing our forces, on tbs Rio Grande, and
other sources entitled to credence,
that Vera Crnz and Quertaro, the
two last 4strongholds occupied by
Maximillian have been taken by Els
cobedo. the Liberal Chieftain, and
that little Max. and his chief Mexican
subordinate officers Mejia, CASTILLO
and Miramon, are prisoners, and ii is
added in postscript that President
Juarez has ordered them to be inn
mediately shot.
1t will be remembered that the
Austrian GoN5nmen. some time ago,
anticipating the overthrow and cap
t IRE of their protege, asked our gov
err. ment to intercede with the Lib
erals for lenient treatment in case
they captured Macmillan, and that
Secretary Seward. through Minister
Campbell, made an urgent appeal to
this effect. We, therefore, think it
quite improbable that the order Of
shooting, 50 far as Maximillian is con,
cerned, will be carried out. However
uncertain the fate of Maximillian in
the hands Of Juarcz, flushed with
victory, his mixed Indian and Mexi-
can blood boiling for revenge over
the losses OF the internicine conflict
there can be bat little doubt about
that of his unfortunate Mexican Off
GERS, captured with him.

CHICAGO CATTLE MARKET
For week ending May 25th.
MONEY MARKET.

The general trade Of the city con-
tinues very quiet, and business
shows no Improvement, wherewith
to justify any change in the nature
Of our review Of week ago. There
is only bare consumptive demand
for all kinds Of goods, and a decline
in articles fails to attract purchasers.
All classes of traders seem to be
holding off till the prospects Of the
coming harvest shall be fully develop
ed. The prospects for the Winter
Wheat crop are daily becoming moro
brilliant, and should no June frosts
or other damage ensue, there is no
doubt but what it will be large and Of
good quality.
There are new features in the
Money market. Business continues
very quiet and the offerings of de-
desirable paper are light. In some
quarters there is a steady demand
for accommodation and Produce pa
per. There is no stringency, but the
markets nevertheless close, owing to
the scrutiny to which all offerings
are submitted. The rates Of interest
are unchanged.

The receipts for the past week
have been surprisingly light, falling
1857 head below the receipts Of last
week, and 1862 head below those of

A New LINE OF BUSINESS. We
notice in the Southern papers that
the military authorities are trotting
the darl1ies around, wherever they
take notion to go, at Government
expense. 1t is said to be the biggest
dead-head system ever invented. Cuf-
fee don't like like to work-in fact,
won't do it, if he can keep from
starving any other way. He has now
discovered that he can fool the Go
yernment cut Of rations and trans
portatioc, and he is in clover. He
draws his rations, paid for with the
hone st industry of white folks, and
rides about on the railroads at their
expense, while they are delving at
home to make q living White folks
will not be much pleased with this
arrangement, but it is as good a thing
as Cuffee wants-bettcr than work,
better than fighting, better than
voting. 1t is precious little he cares
for these little extras, compared to free
grub and dead-head rides Oh the cars.
But who is responsible for this worse
than useless expenditure of green
backs? Who can throw a little light
on this dark subject?
