JOHN WILKES BooTH's LADY LovE.-The
Concord, New Hampshire. Patriot says the
death of the Hon. John p. Hale, of Dover
New Hampshire, brings to light a fact often
hinted at pretty broadly before, but in which
no ladys name has ever been given III print til
now to our knowledge. The fact is that it was
a daughter of Mr.. Hale, who was then Unit
ed States Senator in Congress from New Hamp
shire at the time OF the assassination. It was
this gentleman's daughter who was engaged to
Wilkes Booth, the man who shot President
Lincoln. In Booths diary, which was taken
from his body, there was a picture of this lady
Why was not Miss Hale arrested and tried by
a court martial as n party in the assassination
plot! She was as near to Booth as Mrs. Sur
rat She was his affianced bride, and is likely
to know as much about it as anybody else. But
Booth did not communicate his purpose to her
nor anybody else.

We do not believe that Communism in the
New World can ever do the damage which it
has done and will do in the Old; but it is GRIM
inal folly to shut our eyes to the fact that it has
an organized existence here, and is rapidly de-
veloping in proportions and in purpose. The
leaders are as reckless and desperate here as
on the other side of the ocean, and the rank
and fle-if we may Judge by demonstrations
are equally ready to follow the advice Of evil
counselors. We cannot avoid the danger
which threatens society elsewhere, danger
which is nseparably connected with the high
est forms of the social structure; but we can
and should be prepared to meet it And if the
lessons of the past three months have not
taught us the need of this preparation, then
we richly merit the harsh experience which
the future assuredly has in store.

Hawaiian Islands, is dead, after reign of
fourteen months, rendered unsatisfactory by
an unfortunate disposition to excessive indulg-
ence in alcoholic beverages. King Lunalilo did
not fill large space in the order Of things, nor
can his successor. The most important results
of his decease will be to cause fever of excite
ment among the white residents of the Islands;
to develop much petty intriguing; to afford an
opportunity for indulgence in the "hula-hua;" :"
to constitute an excuse for the consumption of
an unusually large quantity of "pol;" and to
give sundry editors a fresh chance to discuss
annexation As to the effect Of the event upon
the destinies of the Islands or the Islanders,
we don't think it will have any. The Islanders
are quietly disappearing under the stimulus of
Western civilization, as native races always do,
ard the planters are rs gradually acquiring the
power which their feeble predecessors are sur
rendering. Sugar is the principal element in
Hawaiian commerce, and Lunalilo's death is
not likely to affect sugar. He will be buried
with his fathers, and the vacant throne will be
filled by some other equally powerless and
equally insignificant potentate. And the only
moral reflection which suggests itself on the
melancholy occasion appears in the form of a
doubt whether after all Lunalilo, who wore
broadcloth and absorbed American whisky
was in any way happier, better, or wiser, than
his ancestor, old Kamehameha the First, who
went stravaging about the country like stur-
dy old savage as he was. and never came un.
der the killing kindness of iyization.-Sacra-

The Louisiana Central Rail-
way.
From the Now Orleans Times.I

From the New Orleans Times.
We stated briefly a few days ago that
Messrs. F. w. Kellogg and Arthur Ed
wards, directors in the above enterprise,
had visited Alexandria, Natchitoches
| and Shreveport to endeavor to induce
the substantial cooperation of the vO-
tiers of that section in constructing the
road, which is to run from Vermillion-
vile to Alexandria, and then, via Nat
chitoches to Shreveport. AS we regard
the construction of this road as of vital
Importance to this State and city, we re-
fer again to the subject, in order to show
what progress Messrs. Kellogg and Ed
wards are making.
This Railway Company, having no
Federal or State subsidies, proposes to
the parishes and towns that its cars may
traverse, to donate a certain amount of
bonds, payable in twenty years, and
bearing interest at seven per cent. per
annum. In Alexandria, the proposition
is to give 100000 in parish of Rapides
bonds. In Natchitoches, the proposition
is for the town itself to give 100000 in
bonds and the parish 100000. In De-
Soto parish, the citizens, III learning the
arrival of the directors in NatchitOches,
expressed q willingness to donate $780,
600 in parish bonds. In Shreveport, at
tel various pros anu cons, the PROPOSE
ton settled upon is for the city to donate
100000 and the parish OfCaddo 100000.
The company's proposals are based
upon the delivery Of the bonds to them
in ~a,specified amount, in each parish, on
the construction of so many miles of
road, fully equipped. In NatchitOches,
Alexandria and Shreveport the town
and parish authorities have given their
approval to the cOmpany's propositions,
which are now to be submitted for final
action or rejection to the qualified voters.
In connection with this enterprise, we
find in the Shreveport Times Of the 32d,
all elaborate memorandum of the views
OF MI. Fl. Bowlby Wilson, a railway fl
nancier, who had just left Shreveport
for New Orleans, via Texas, and who
has had many years experience in nego-
tiating loans for important railways in
Canada and the West. Mr.. BowIby,
says the Times, expressed himself cen
tirely satisfied of the soundness Of the
enterprise, and his belief is that it will
bear a critical investigation into its
merits He is decidedly of the opinion,
to use his own language, that there x
lists no more promising railway enter
prise in the United States, in respect to
traffic, but he is bound to say that no
capital cal be influenced in itsaid either
in New York or in London, until a res
pectablc local basis can be supplied to
the company undertaking the work"

There's a beauteous song on the >lumberOus air
That drifts through the valley of dreams:
II comes from u cline where the roses We're,
And u tuncfuI heart and bright brown hair,
That waves III the morning beams.
Soft eyes OF azure and eyes of brown,
And ~snOw-White fOrheadS are there;
4 glinInering Cross and a glltterlnS crown,
A thorny bed and a couch Of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets OF prayer.
A breath of Spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet watts from the qUivCring pines
Rlue violet eyes beneath green hoods,
A bubble of broOklcts, a scent of buds,
Bird warbleTs and clambering vines.
A rosy wreath and dimpled hand;
4 ring and a sighted vow
Three golden links of a broken band,
4 tiny track on the SnOw-white sand,
A tear and Il sinlCSS brow.
There's ii tincturc of grief. i'll the beautiful song
That tbrObS on the slumbcring air,
And loneliness felt in the festive thrOug,
Sinks down on the soul as it tremhles along.
From It cline where the roses were.
We heard it first at the dawn OF day,
And it mingled with matin chimes,
But years have distancGd the beautiful lay,
And its melody hOweth from far away.
And we call it now " Old Times"

A Very Short Sermon.
LFrnn the New Orleans Times.1


f"The best soldiers. are always the
most earnest advocates of peace says
the New York Tribune. Tt is well said.
1t is only the reckless, the depraved, and
the fanatical who desire to p~recipitate
discord when It'll possible to have peace,
we'll knowing that the brunt of the strife
will eventually fall ON those quiet, earn
est, fair, and resolute men,, who, know
ing the SORROWS that must follow WA,
the devastation and the loss that an
archy and discOrd must involve, are
slow to incur those evils, and yetare the
only~mena capable. of fighting q Causeato
a successful issue.
We wish this noble sentiment could
be thundered in the ears of all the NAL
contents those reckless and desperate
men who are trying to preclpltate an
unnecessary civil strife upon this unfOr-
tunate State. Such a strife, if it should
come, would see the noisy instigators
ensconsed in the background, as they
we're in 1861. The business community
and their methods, and will SO express
themselves as soon as they have an OPP
portunity.
The experience of the past has shown
how much is to be accomplished under
their selfish and incompetent leadership.
Peaceful remedies are not exhausted,
and if they were, such a strife as that
proposed would only aggravate present
evils. The Times has indicated a line
of policy much more effective and sen
siblc. Let the strong independent sen
timent be maintained in its vigor, hold,
ing the balance of power as it can. easily
do, and let that power be used wisely
and theoretically, not to sustain the
pretensions of the riff raff, on either side,
but to be cast into the scale in favor of
tions andparties. This is striking at the
root of the evil, and though it may not
accomplish all that may be desired, it
will effectually checkmate the party
hacks, and at least put us on theHToad
toward better things. ....e

We saw Il young MAI last week, with
the Charlton on the middle finger of one
hand. He had skinned a beef that died
of the disease, and taken the hide to the
lanyard OH his horse. The horse took
the Charlton Oh the back, where the hide
lay, and died. a pimple appeared on
the young mans finger, and proved to
be Charlton. He checked it with con-
ccntrated lye.. A man in his neighbour
hood, had it on the arm. While in the
field at work, he felt something like a
ny-bitc on the arm, and there was where
the Charlton appeared.

is another example of the want of wis

republican party more firmly than any
other measures that could have been
taken by either party. AT the same

How COFFEE CANE TO BE UsED.-It
is somewhat singular to trace the man
ner in which arose the use ofthe common
beverage of coffee, without which few
persons, in any half or wholly civilized
country in the world, now make break
fast. At the time Columbus discovered
America, it had never been known or
used. It-Only grew in Arabia, and Up
per Ethiopia. The discovery of its use as
a beverage is ascribed to the superior of
a monastery in Arabia, who, DESTROYS of
preventing the monks from sleeping at
their nocturnal services, made them
drink the infusion of coffee, upon the
reports of shepherds, who observed that
their flocks were more lively after
browsing on the fruit of that plant. It's
reputation spread through the adjacent
countries, and in about two hundred
years it had reached Paris. A single
plant, brought there in 1714, became the
parent stock of all the French coffee
plantations in the West Indies. The
Dutch introduced it into Java and the
East Indies, and the French and Spanish
all over South America and the West
Indies. The extent of the consumption
now can hardly be realized. The. Uni
ted States alone annually consume 1t at
the cost, on its landing, of from fifteen
to sixteen millions of dollars.
