The remains of John Wilkes Booth were
transferred from the pine box in which
they had been buried to splendid metal
lie coffin. 1t was found that the flesh had
all disappeared, leaving naught but mass
Of blackened bones. Upon one foot was
an old army shoe, and upon the other a
boot cut open upon the top. This cover
ed the left foot, the leg having been broken
in his leap from the stage-box of the theatre,
after he had assassinated President Lincoln.
The remainder of his dress consisted of
rough brown coat, black pants and vest,
all OF which were rotten and decayed. The
hair all remained, and the sikeu curls of
glossy black reminded one of the handsome
face which people once SO much admired,
but the intelligent look was gone. During
the afternoon hundreds of people visited
the place, and some were allowed to view
the remains. After Il short time it was
found that the curious crowds had cut the
blankets almost to pieces to get souvenirs.

himself carefully aware OF the shikarr les
posted here and there i'll the tree-forls. You
do not by the bleating of captive goat
tempt the man-eater very easily into the
patch of moonlight, for pot-shot When
the hunters descend, he will breakfast on
one Of them, if opportunity offers and when
the villagers come out against him in reg
iment, he watches their trembling route
from the tangled darkness Of thicket,
where his wicked body and fierce eyes look ,
to any but a hunter, like sandbank with
two green glow-worms upon it. Or, if the
noise and trouble are particularly offensive,
lie creeps away, belly to the ground, till
things are quiet in his own district, and the
soft, delicious, helpless animal, called 'lord
Of creation" is off his guard again in the
old haunts.
There must be hardy and fearless Eng
lish sportsmen within reach of this striped
villains lair, and we trust that one of them
has long before this time put an exploding
shell, or belted ball, through the brute's
shoulder. The skin Of such tiger is worth
nothing-it is always worn and scrubby, in
consequence OF the man-eater's old age.
The intense gratitude, however, Of the vii
lagos which are afflicted by such a monster,
makes pursuit of him sublime "shikar,"
a delightful peril; and we hope that the
Nadfas Times will tell US next month that
the Chintagoonta murderer has expatel his
crimes. How tale like this, where we see
a whole countryside dominated by one Of
the carnivora, takes us back to the ages
when man fought-litera!!y ''fought"-
against beasts for the supremacy of the
earth The stories of Nimrod aud St.
George, the myth of Perseus and Androme-
da, the ''Dragon Of Wantley," and the head
money Of E55bert for the wolves which used
to ravage Britain, are only few among
the innumerable evidences of struggle
waged between man and his ri
val caruassters for the kingdom of the world.
Soft, uuarmed, without natural clothing, a
''poor forked thing" as Shakespeare says,
man has long ago subdued the earth, all, so
naturalists tell US, because of an "opposa-
Bile finger and thumb" and also because Of
a capacity for union. II is curious to thins
what might be the issue if an army Of IL
gers, lious, and all the brutes of the Jungle
could coalesce and march straight at US,
careless of death and wounds. But their
fate is sealed-civilzatjo thrusts them per-
petually farther and farther from her trout ;
and wherever man comes, he insists upon
indulging his carnivorous appetite without
any rival. One boast is left to the tigers
they eat us, but we cannot eat them

STORMY DAYS. Let these be employed by
the farmer To good advantage, cleaning up the
barn, setting the barn and house cellar in or
der, mending tools, and other things that may
be broken; cutting up roots, cutting hay, and
many other things that will suggest themselves.
Some farmers that we have known remind US
OF the Old Dutchnan at whose house 4 travel
ler stopped one rainy day Tor shelter. The
house leaked badly, and the traveller asked the
owner why lie did not repair il, when he said
You surely would not have ME out into the
rain to do 1t, would you?" - Bat why not do
it III fair weather." Why it does not leak
then" SO some person are always putting OFF,
never quite ready to do the JOB. This is bad
way.

CUTTING FopDER a rambling but animat-
ed debate followed on the prOpriety of cutting
hay-several doctors who regularly attend the
Club arguing, from the teeth, throatS, stom-
achs, emo entrails of cows and horses, that it
does no good, but harm rather, to cut and cook
their food On the other hand, the farmers
declared that no lecturing or physiology could
induce them to break up their eed-cutters,
when they found, by actual and frequent trial,
that fifteen pounds cut are equal to twenty fed
long.

PRUDENT FARMING. Probably, during pc
fiod OF twenty Or thirty years, the prices OF all
Iarm products will be on The average, just re-
lalion to the cost of production and to The val
ue OF the land; and 1t would be difficult to say
that for 80 long period any one leading branch
would be in the main more profitable tnan nnv
other branch. When the prices of any COM
modify become excessively high, increased
production will vary likely soon TO make them
excessively low; and it will be only after a
good deal of loss and misfortune to farmers
That they finally gravtate 10 u just medium
Therefore it should be the aim OF every sensi-
ble man to resolve, at the outset, that no ex-
cessiveIy high price of a commodity, which is
not within The scope Of his plan to produce,
shall induce him to abandon his adopted course
In the hope OF availing himself of the benefits
which must result from high prices.

VERY NEAR HIS PRIcE--Thc rumor
that Gen. Granville Nj. Dodge, of Iowa,
will succeed to the War Department, re-
calls capital story of that officer, which
is good enough to go the rounde again.
After the close of the war, Gen Dodge
was in command of q post in Louisiana,
One day the Adjutant General received
an official communication from him, stat
ing that he had been offered fifty thou.
sand dollars to wink at certain cotton
speculstions, and refused it. The bid
had been increased to one hundred thou
sand dollars. and thon to twice that
amount. The General said he had rcfus-
ed all the offers. but the last sum was
every near his price" and he wished to
be relieved before louder call on his
probity was made. His request was
granted.
