From Gen. L. G. Bakers History of the Secret
Service
In order to establish the identity of the
body of the assassin beyond all question, the
Secretary Of War directed me to summon a
number Of witnesses residing in the city of
Washington, who had previously known the
murderer Some two years previous to the
assassination of the President, Booth had had
a tu1nor or co2 bu17cfe cut from his neck by a
surgeon. On inquiry, learned that DR. May
a well known and very sklllful surgeon, Of %
years practice in Washington, had perform
ed the operation.
Accordingly, called on DIR. May, who, be
fore seeing the body, minutely described the
exact locality of the tumor, the nature and
date of the operation, &c. After being
sworn he pointed to the scar 10 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 referring to the
mutiIation of Booths body, are equally alb
eurd Gen. Barnes, Surgeon General US
, a, was on board the gunboat where the post
morton examination was held, with his as
sistants. Gen. Barnes cut from Booths neck
about two inches of the spinal column
through which the ball had passed; this piece
| of bone, which is now on exhibition in the
Government Medical museum in Washing
ton, is the only relic Of the assassin's body
ab owe ground, and this is the only mntiIa-

mediately after the conclusion Of the exam
ination, the Secretary OF War gave orders as
to the disposition Of the body, which had
become very offensive owing to the coudi
ton in which it bad remained after death:
the leg broken in jumping from the box to

BIG BLUE RIVER, Gage Co Neb. MAY 81.
MEssRs. EDIToRs II left off my letter last
week in stating what persons are eligible to
homesteads on the public domain Underline
homestead law, the only questions asked are,
are you married, or single person and the
head Of a family if single, are You twenty one
years of age, or if not of age have Won father,
mother, brother or sister dependent upon you
for support? If any of these questions are an
swered in the affirmative, you are next sworn:
First, that you have never taken up arms
against the U. S. government, or in any way
aided or abetted its enemies. (TLis, to some
Of the copperhead persuasion might be tough
pill to take) Second, have You ever avaiIed
yourself Of the benefits Of this act before? II
these are answered in the negative then fol-
lows the third: Are you taking this land for
your own use and benefit, and for actual set
Element? This is ALL There are plenty of
men here that have owned farms five years
that are now taking the benefit Of this act
The climate is milder here than in Wiscon-
sin ; quite lively breeze on the prairie most
OF the time not gale, but just enough wind
to make labor comfortable now, though in
the early spring the winds were annoying. The
is dry and healthy, and know a
man can stand more labor here than he can in
Wisconsin, without feeling 50 much debility. !
There is no fever and ague here, or anything
of the kind. l think it just as healthy here as
in Wisconsin.
The soil is something like the prairie soil Of
Wisconsin, only lighter and rather inclined
to stick on the pillow or hoe, when between wei |
and dry. The prairie flowers shrubs and /
weeds all very much resemble the Wisconsin |
praiies. The timber as 1 told you before, is
Ill found on the streams or low lands The |
kind Of timber l think is more varied than in
Wisconsin Burr oak, soft maple, cottonwood,
box alder, red and white elms, honey locust,
lackberry, ash and hickory and something /
hey call the coffee bean tree which grows /
lutte large, black walnut plenty, and very
Useful lumber they make of j., They use
mostly burr oak for fence posts. Post and rail ?
fence IS used here almost exclusively. The in
labissAAts are from great many different
States and Of several different nationalities.-
Many of the different ma ions of Europe are
veil represented here-Germans Irish Scotch
nd English. But there is one popularity in
he people here that lam glad to iind-that is
hat every nationality appears to lose itself
ere, and blend all in the American citizen
The streams here, are all very rapid and
lear mostly gravel or rock bottom water
cry good. Our wells vary in depth from Is
0 80 feet, according to locality. Our grain
nd other crops are looking remarkably we'll.
Vegetables and everything that we have sown
+ planted appear to do just as wei as they
id in Wisconsin. We have sown about u or
4 acres of wheat, II of oats, one Of potatoes,
nd 16 or II acres of corn. Corn near the riy-
r is up and been through once

THE STORM
Two Houses Struck by Lightning in the
City Of Chicago.

The series OF hgnt showers which occurred
at short intervals yesterday forenoon culmn-
ated about half past one O'Clock 10 the after
noon in "a thunder storm of mingled rain and
hail, which though Of short duration was
unusually sharp aud severe The storm
came on with violent wind which. sweep
ing through the city, blew so strongly as TO
seriously impede, while it lasted. the pro
gress of pedestrians through the streets
Shortly after the rain began to fall the
frame building, situated at No 245 iialsted
street. was struck by lightning. The cur.
rent entered at the roof near the front and
passed through the structure downward, tore
awaw the poards and plasteing, finally OK
hausting its force in thin kitchen
The bulldtng is occubied as a butcher shop
10 the front on the first floor the rear part
aud second story being used as dwelling
was struck, several persons were within. and
the escape of some Of them seems almost
provldential. Just moment before the flash
yong lady arose froru a chair in the kitch-
en-, where she had been Sitting, aud went
iAto an adjoining room On her return the
chair she had occupied was lying overturned
at Que end Of the room, while the floor on
either side was torn up. A young man who
was passing 10y the house at the time, was
knocked down bv the shock, but recov, ring
immediate'y,ran away bewiIdered at he top
of his speed. Several Of those within the
building were stunned by the force of the
shock, but none were seriously injured. The
building had a lightning rod attached to it,
bot this lay fiat upon the roof, not being ub
held by non-cOnductors. The structure was
considerably damaged and will require ex-
tensive repairs
About the same time that the above de
tailed occurrence took place, house on Full
ton street was struck by Il lsh of lighting,
which entered at the chimney, and veered
entirely through the building tearing away
flooring amp joists and stripping off the plas
tering in its course The house is new
one, owned by Mr.. T. Mckinney, and was
unoccupied by tenants A number of pain
tiers at work in the basement were severely
shocked but no one was injured.

The Country Sermon.

For country folk, DER farm and field.
sought the church that on the hill
lowered in the sunlight pare and still;
I sat upon the grave slab cray,
To breathe the balm OF that bright day.
I watched the people gathering slow
From the far parish spread below,
From gabled grange, historic hall,
From many cottage rude and small.
They came in choicer Sunday guise,
With Sabbath peace in patient eyes,
As those who doubtless looked to find
Some holy boon for life and mind.

WhereOu ! sat and unused alone.
But something in me seemed to say
That theirs might be the better way.
I rose ana Joined the church bound train;
My voice hlcnt with their chaunted strain;
And my dr' heart drank refreshing ease
From streams Of pleading litdnies.
And one spake words not III in tune
With beauty OF that summer noon;
- How AL oil brightest. best. we see
Must shadows Of The heavenly be;
How the blue dawn. the mornings glow,
ana the vast tunset uery glow,
Soft pearly noon. and stars If night,
Are shadows or the heavenly light;
How all the sweetest sounds Of earth,
Music OF winds, birds. infants mirth,
Anthems that float church aisles along;
Are shadows Of the heavenly song;
How mothers fondness, rich and fair,
Large trust OF child and fathers care,
The seliess loves that deepest move,
Are shadows Of tire heavenly love.
How the delights that kindle here,
How gay heart laughter ringing clear
How ecstacies without alloy
Are shadows Of the heavenly joy.
How blessed moods ofquiet deep,
How placid dream and death-like sleep,
How sleep-like death in snow shroud drest
Are shadows OF the heavenly rest:
And how, fleal through suffering, loss,
And thrift more peril0us, to the Cross,
In our inferior measure. We
May shadows of the heavenly be;
Until at last. when time is DER,
And its vain visions yex 10 more
All the pale shadows we shall miss
In sheer supreme, substantial bliss

A warmer faith and juster wrought:

To find fairer land and sky.
