A Singular stOpy I'm Connection
'a With LfneOln's Assassinatf0n.
From the Now York Era. W ~ u. n

A singular story is told in connection
with the Lincoln assassination by Mr..
William Withers, sr, which has never
been published. Mr.. Withers has d son
named William, who was leader of the
orchestra at Lima Edwin's Theater last
winter. Both father and son were in
Fords Theater at the time when Booth
shot Lincoln. The elder Withers was
one of the orchestra, and played the
trombone. The younger had been seated
in the parduette, but just previous to the
time when the fatal shot was fired he
left his seat and proceeded to the back
part of the stage for the purpose OF
speaking to some one there on a private
matter. v f.l.
The two Withers were well acquainted
with Booth, and he with them, the elder
having played a game of billiards with
Booth on the Saturday previous, the
former losing the game, but Booth, who
would not permit him to pay for it, ex-
hibited thick roll of bills of large de-
nominations, and in boasting way re-
marked that he had struck oil. After
Booth had fired, and he started to retreat
through the wings to the back entrance,
he was met in the passage by young
Withers, who did not know what had
taken place. Withers was about to
speak to him, but Booth made lunge at
him with knife he held in his hand.
Withers lodged the blow, but it never
theless struck him in the shoulder in an
angular direction, and glanced of, cut.
ting through coat vest and shirt, and
producing slight wound of the skin.
he then rushed out and mounted his
horse. William Withers, jr., stated
these facts to Mayor Wallack previous
to his examination. who advised him not
to mention the circumstance of recelv-
ing the stab, and he did not do so. The
elder Mr. Withers cannot imagine for
what purpose that advice was given.

A distinguished Ex-Governor Of Ohio,
famous for storytelling, relates that on
one occasion, while addressing tenn
perance meeting at Georgetown, d. c.,
and depicting the misery caused by in
dulging too freely in the flowing bowl,
his attention was attracted by the sobs
of disconsolate and seedy looking in
dividual in the rear part of the room.
On going to the person and interrogating
him, he was told the usual tale of woe;
among other sad incidents, that, during
his career Of vice, he had buried three
wives. The Governor, having buried a
few wives of his own, sympathized deeply
with the inebriate, and consoled him as
much as was in his power Said he:
:" The Lord has indeed afflicted you"
The mourner sobbingly replied: Yes,
yes he has" and pausing a moment and
wiping his nose, he continued: But l
don't think the Lord got much ahead Of
me, for as fast as he took one away |
took another" a.t

Grace Greenwood ON the Marrow

N o. .NH Gauge.
Grace Greenwood writes as follows to
the New York Times ..t 8. n'
| should have chronicled some time
ago an excursion on the Denver and Rio
Grande narrow gauge railway. We went
ont about fifteen miles-as far as the
rails we're then laid. twas charming
day. We had a pleasure company OF
citizens and tourists, and all went
[" merry as marriage bel" in the old
days, when marriages were of some ac-
count. On this railway you are struck
at once with the reduced proportions OF
everything-from the locomotive, which
seems like small variety of the iron
horse "a very little mustang-to the
windows and lamps in the cars. The
cars themselves are bright, pretty, dimin-
utive affairs, cozy and comfortable. 1t
seems like playing at railroading, es-
pecially as there is marvelously
little noise or motion. Never have
known train glide along
SO smoothly and quietly. The little en-
CINE "bucked right down to her work, y
ike Chiquita, and made no ado about it,
for several miles, when, ! grieve to say,
she suddenly balked, and had to be
" switched" We took another horse and
went on ,merrily to the end Of the road.
Here We all alighted, and watched the
men laying rails and driving spikes.
The remorseless officers Of the road in
sisted on your correspondent paying her
way by driving spike. 1t was cruel
task on my muscular Christianity =
The newspaper report said that Z" drove
the spike home triumphantly." But |
really thoughtit wouldn't go home till
morning. This narrow gauge road,
when finished to FL Paso, will be q won
derful route-+for pleasure as well as
it will be almost unrivaled
for variety and grandeur of scenery.
The mountain views, the pictures of
river, and park, and plain. between Den
yer and Colorado City, are especially
magnificent. s.--..- A4ft ISL

From the San Francisco ChrOnicle.l
Mrs. Josslyn is q washerwoman, and
works very hard for her living. In the
palmy days of Harry Meiggs she depos-
tied with him no less an amount than
S2500, and when Meiggs and her money
were gone, the time in which woman
could lay up 80 large a sum from the
profits of her business was gone also.
But she washed on, and kept her head
above water. Some two or three months
ago she read in the Overland Monthly,
or some other publication, of how much
money her old banker had made in
South America by building railroads,
and. with beautiful faith in human ma
ture, which cannot be too highly com
mended. she embarked on the Panama
steamer. and wended her way to the
sultry South, where Meiggs now holds
sway. She sought the millionaire in the
gorgeous residence so graphically de-
scribed in the Overland. and presented
her bank-book and told her tale. Meiggs
listened, and when she had finished he
handed her check for the amount of
the deposit and interest from its date to
the time Of payment She departed a
weather. and happier woman, and re-
turned to San Francisco, where she ar
rived by the last steamer, and If any
body wants 10 have personal difficulty
of high character, dhey can secure the
result in its most brilliant form by speak
ing unfavorably Of Harry Meiggs in her
presence. d

Where the stone-pines stood around me,
With howery shrubs between.

But give me living Nature.

AnAstronomieaI PrObIem-Had the
Earth Ever Two Satellites

From Galignani' 8 Messenger.I .rt-rr h o.
Our readers are acquainted with M.
StanisIas Meunier's efforts to create a
new science, Comparative Geology, by
examining the structure of the numerous
arolites in the museums. We have al
ready spoken Of the various genera dis.
tineuished By him with the name Of
Chdntonnite, tad5erite, dumalite, mon
irejite. etc. according TO the places
where tie meteorites had fallen; but We
now see. from an article Of NJ. Victor
Meunier's, chat al these scattered ele-
ments are assuming a definite shape,
which deserves a place among the hypo-
theds which have some probability in
their favor. Starting from the fact that
the meteOrites in our possession are min
erals OF definite chemical composition,
M. Meunier inquiries from what part Of
our solar system they may be supposed
10 GOMEZ Now. as the only solid planets
we know of are those which lie within
