TltE BooTH FAMlLY.-Durng Mr..
Bradlcy's speech in the Surratt case, at
Washington Friday in referring to tic
diary OF Booth, hc said:
They suppressed that diary which
cXcupatcs Mrs. Surlatt; that diary
which shows who and what the man
was; fanatic and madman. lis
grandfather, Richard Booth, was the
most thorough Red Republican who
ever settled in America, and his grand.
son inherited the traits Of that grand.
father. 1t is well known he aided slaves
to escape from Maryland which his son,
the elder Junius Dooth, paid for The
grandfather named his son, The great
actor, Junius Brutus, and his first
grandson Ju"ius Brutus, and taught
both son and grandson to dolzo the
memory Of the great Brutus that killed
Caesar in the Roman capital. j. Wilkes
Booth was an accomplished scholar and
moved in tho best society but he had
running through him this vein Of insaui-
ty, md above it all flows that indcscri.
bablc affection OF son for mother
Wonderful was the power lie exercised
ovcr men, wonderful his power on the
stage, making his $40, 900 a year.

MAXIMILIAN'S DEATH.

Nothing in mordcrn literature comes near
the description Of Maximlian's heroic end
rs Ayto"'s description of the execution OF
Montrosc:
'But whom he came, though pale and wan.
lie looked SO great and high,
So noble was his manly front,
SO calm his stcadfast oyc--
The rabblc route forborc to shout,
And each man held his breath,
For well they knew the hero's soul
Was face to face with DEATH
"Thcrc was glory on his forehead,
There was lustrc in his eye,
And ho never walked TO baltic
More proudly than to die.
There was color in his visagc,
Though the checks Of MI were wan,
And they marvcllcd as they saw him pass,
That great and goodly man."

A Disgraccrul Outrcmo in plcr;do

~ P'S"' VI VIZ OVui'iS Will
soon find enough to chroniclo in
the way of lawlcss and proscriptivc
violence, without going to Tennessee,
If the infamous outrage porpctratcd
upon our citizens on the border of
this county, on last Friday, Shall re-
main unpunishcd.
On that day, quiet country school
house near the head of the Miccosukic
and Leon county, filled with men and
women from the ncighborlood, who
had gone thithcr TO witness tic cxami-
nation of the children at the,closc of
the school, was suddenly surrounded
by an armed mob Of negroes, and
guards stationed around with orders
to shoot any one who should attempt
to pass the lines, while Others rushed
into the house itself, demanding the
surrender of y negro namod Kyal.
The sudden irruption Of this armed
and yelling mob upon scene so
quiet, created q panic among tho wo.
men and children, who ignorant Of
the precise danger without, rushed
frantically from the building through
the doors and windows, while the
white mon, unarmcd and surprised.
could only vainly try TO ascertain The
cause ofthis indignity, and to per-
suadc tho maddcncd throng , cease
from violence. Fortunately the men
who had been stationed with orders to
fire upon all who should attempt to
escape, moved either by pity or some
ray of common sense, disrcgardcl the
order, and women and children were
soon hurrying away from the unknown
danger.
In the meantime these sable war
rlors, having put to fight tive peaceful
occupants of the house, discovered
Ryal, y colorcd man, the object Of
their search seated on table outside
of the house, and although he was
known to be helpless cripple, unable
to walk step, q fow Of the more rcso-
Lutte advanced upon him with their
arms at charge and caused him to
surrender
1t tmay be a matter Of some interest
to know what crime against the laws
of the country, this poor cripple had
committed, which could in NY way
palliatc SO fragrant brcrck Of the
ronec. 1t was this Ryal, f5rssomc,
time pass, we understand, mas NBccn
travelling through different ncighbor-
foods, cndeavoring to collect funds
for the building Of q school house for
the children OF freedmen, and while
thus engaged he has, both in public
and private, urged his fellow freed
men not to trust the protcstations of
Northern cmiaSarics, but to vote with
the Southern people.
This arch conspirator having been
captured, a council of war was held,
and it was determined to bring him
before Capt. Grunwcll. Of the Bureau
in Monticello, and accordingly having
placed Ryal upon horse they took
up their line Of march to this place :;
campcd out about q mile from town,
and the next morning having left Ihcir
arms, we believe at the camp, with
rabblc route they presented them
selves with their prisoner before this
tunctionary.
The Captain after hearing the ease,
startled these sable patriots with the
announcement that this was free
country, and Ryal had the right Of
free speech, however hctcrodox his
political opinions might be, and ad-
vlscd his captors to depart at once to
their several fields of industry.-Mon-

MINIATURE REPRESENTATION OF THE NATIVITY
The Sisters of Mercy, who have charge of the
academy and orphan asylum in this city, have
been at some pains to furnish their pupils with q
Christmas surprise that would be both INSTRUCTIVE
and entertaining. They decided that q faithful
representation of the Nativity, as described In the
New Testament, would not only be appropriate to
the season, but would refresh and improve the
mind. ABORTION of the school-room was partition
ed off and shaped by evergreens in the form OF a
crotto, in the rear of which the mountain of Judea
was seen. These were admirably represented
and appeared true to nature, the rocky sides,
steep declivitics and winding paths were plainly
visible, lighted by the Star of Bethlehem, which
shown brightly from the evening sky. On
the mountains we're seen the shepherds
who we're attracted by the light of the
star and we're making their way to the cave, where
the infant Jesus was born. They were followed by
their flocks, who were gazing wondrously at the
unusual light. At the foot of the mountain the
lowly manger was seen guarded by angels, who
pointed to the Saviour Of men. Several shepherds
and the Virgin mother were in the cave watching
the cradle. The skies, mountains and general
scenery we're painted in exact imitation Of ma
ture. and over all the Gloria in Excelsis appeared
in golden letters, while at the entrance of the cave
was the motto, VEN1rE ADoREMUs. The angelic
hosts were seen in the skies hymning praises to
the newborn Saviour. The representation was in
every respect beautifully executed, and well calcu-
lated to impress the beholder with the sublimity
of the occasion. 1t was o great treat to the little
charges of the Sisters, andsWas visited yesterday
by numbers of persons VIII were unanimous in
their praises.

A BLAZE OF BUNT1NG.-To the Spanish vessels
in port the credit has been awarded, by general
consent, of having made the handsomest display
of bunting on Christmas day, that has been seen
at this port in many years. Particularly noticed
BILE was the taste displayed on board the briggs
"Phenix," 'Paco" and "Leonore," lying at the
foot of Pinckney-street. The national signal flags,
in great profusion, were strung from the main
masthead to the main-yard, forming a pyramid OF
gorgeous colors, which attracted the attention of
passers-by even up on Meeting-street. We could
wish for a larger stock OF bunting on our Ameri-
can ships, but economy seems to limit them in
the matter Of flags.
