Tue ARCH AaIrAToR.-Among the
many who went out of Office with An
drew Johnson, and retired to private life,
there is one whose disappearance from
tho public stage will not excite regret
in the breast of any human being but
himself. He has rcigned long and wick
edly from The beginning to the close.
He shone like LucIer throughout his ca
reer, endowed with the same great genius
for mischief with arch-subtlety, and
mind without q soul, like Lucifer, he has
fallen never to rise again. Far back in
the past we find him stirring shrcwdly
the embers of sectional stritel Twas his
to invent the diabolcal doctrine Of the
"irrepressible conflict" and his was the
master hand that guided it in all its
stages, and down through sea of blood
to its final and fixed Inauguration as a
principle of the Government. He gloat-
ed over the dreadful strife with soulless
satisfaction, and at no period of the car
mage among his countrymen did he dis.
cover the first evidence of feeling or re-
gret.
Pile up the dead in hecatombs to the
skies was his ever ready answer. to ap-
peals for peace. Down with the Consti-
tuition, and open be the prison doors to
all who refuse to worship at the same
bloody shrine. .-,..
Such, in brief, is William 81. Seward,
the crafticst, mennest, most soulless and
treacherous of his race. He has cursed
his country through whole generation
and it will curse and execrate him TIL
sthe last syllable of recorded tImo.-Sa-
hannah Republican.

The friends of wit expressed some
surprise that, with his age and his fond

success for this. Mr.. Leland, the happy man

advantage over the bulk of the books offered

ANOTHER KoH I-NooR.-Advices received in
London from the Cape announce the finding
of another diamond much larger than any
yet met with in the colony The following
particulars are from letter received by
Messrs. Goodlihe & Smart, from their cores
pondents at Cape Town, dated S1st of March
The news will reach you by this opportuni-
ty of the finding of the large diamond-our
Cape "Koh-i-noor"-valueda at $4,000. There
is no deusion in this, as in the gold-fields, so
you may believe it implicitly. This diamond
was found near the Orange river, in the dia-
mond territory, was bought of native doctor
for five hundred sheep and few cattle, by
Mr.. Niekerk, Dutchman, who again resold
It to Messrs. Lilienfeld, of Hope town, for
4ll 200, and it is now or the way to Algoa
Bay: We need hardly say that this news,
confirmed by the Civil Commissioner to ou
Colonial Secretary, has caused great excite
ment here, as there can be no donbt of the
immense wealth of this diamond country.
What would systematic search effect. when
over forty diamonds have now been found,
chiefly by natives?

HIS TREATMENT OF A BUST OF LINCOLN.
From the st. Louis DISPATCH MAY 81

| HIS TREATMENT OF A BUST OF LINCOLN.
| From the St. Louis Dispatch May 81
In the winter of 1862 or 1868, ]. Wilkes
Booth the assassin, was playing star en-
| gagement, at Mr.. Ben De Bars Opera House
in this city. Coming down one morning to
rehearsal. he had occasion to enter picture
| gallery and artist emporium for the purpose
OF procuring some paint or face dye, either for
himself or some other of the actors
After Purchasing what he wanted, he was
retiring from the store when his eye caught a
plaster bust of President Lincoln, which was
being exhibited for sale. The sight of it ap-
peared to rouse his indignation, and to stir
him up to high degree of rage, so much so
indeed, that he cursed both it and the orig
inal in the most violent strains. He worked
hiHseiI MtU ouolA d passion that walking over
to the bust, he struck it yiolant blow "a tL4
face, knocking off a piece from over its eyes,
and so severely injuring his own hand that it
bled profusely, and he was obliged to wrap a
handkerchief around it.
No notice was taken of the act, and Booth
left thesstore for the theatre, the owner of the
bust picking up the fragments which had
been knocked off, and gluing it on SO dexter
ously that the injury done it could not be de-
tccted.
Years passed on, and one morning in April
the country was shaken to its centre as no
other piece of intelligence had ever shaken II
before-that the President had been shot in
Ford's theatre in Washington by j. Wilkes
Booth. The nation went into mourning for
its Chief Magistrate, and, wherever the re-
mains could not be actually honored, mock
funerals were held. Such funeral was kept
in st. Louis; the city went into mourning,
and the Court was draped with black. A
bust of the President was placed in the court
house, and it was observed that from over one
OF the eyes a piece of the material had been
broken off. This bust was the same one
which Booth had mutilated, and the piece
which was at the same time replaced was
afterwards removed where the same hand
which struck it off struck down its original
We do not know into whose possession the
bust has passed, but doubtless whoever owns
1t would not now part with it for any consid-
Grafton. The above anecdote in reference to
it was recently related to us by well known
gentleman of this city, who was present when
Booth struck the image, and as we 90 NOT
think it has ever been told before, we publish
ii on his authority.

at. a French author, having just written q
book entitled "Le Drame de Waterloo" has
sent a copy of it to Mr.. Carlyle. The Chel-
sea philosopher, in reply, says:
recognize your love of accuracy and Ger
tainty, your great outlay of research and stu
dious examination, laborious reading Of docu-
ments, otherwise repulsive rather than inter
esting-and In result report to you my clear
conviction: l. That Napoleon's campaign
ended in four days SO tragically for him, by
Napoleon's own mismanagement,b by the fact,
which you have rendered evident, that he
was hebete, sunk in somnolence, negligence,
and not himself any more. 2. That in subse-
quent times he, with unconscious, and now
and then with conscious mendacity, endeavor-

Ney, &C., and has now, as his fate was, been
convicted of that sad offence, and will have
to pay the penalty before the world
In young years, especially in the Hudson
Love time, was greatly an admirer of the
Great Napoleon; but confess, for long
while back, the essential mendacity, egotism,
charlitanism, of his procedure and relation to
the world, have been more and more appar-
