DEVOTED UNTO nEtTsg.
John wilkes Hooti.l

Several years ago, when John L. Hale
was here as Senator, says the Washington
correspondent of the Cleveland Leadey, his
daughters were anon. the mos! admired of
all the bellies. They lived in clcgagt style
at the National, and entertained with a
great deal of yiyacity all who visited them.
The youngest was really a very pretty,
fresh, piquant gll Of eighteen or SO.
Or course there were great many adj
mirers, and among them the actor John
Wilkes Booth was the most devoted to Miss
Eighteen. You perhaps. remember Booths
appearancea handsome, dark, mcodra-
matte fellow, and among certain set here
he was great favorite socially. At night
he played his Charles in Schillers Rob
bcrs," and Miss Hale was always at the
play, with bouquet and smiles for him. In
those days who could guess the sad sequel
to romance of love that, Hpromised bright
enough remember a night when the
hotel was blaze Of light. The guests
were giving a "hop" for their friends. and
N'"NN" ""i'"S' IVY N'lN was SoOu-La-
turedly gosspping at the devotion of a
couple who walked up and down the
rooms, and were apparently obiyious of
place and surroundings. They were very
attractive pair he tall and dark-cyed, abe
fair and sweet as an English rose
There were some who cayilled ut her
choice. The father must be wild to per-
nit such an alliance, they said-thc daugh-
ter of a United States Senator to marry
play actor But the many to when the
young girls sweet face seemed an excuse for
any infatualon looked with indulgence at
the lit @ drama Of the " old, old story"
remember too well another night, Just
the eve of two days later. We were al
Ford's old theatre. Again blaze of light
and music, and crowded house, to look at
Laura Keeno in the American Cousin"
How many times have yon heard the story
of that night, too dreadful to talk Of even?
The sudden pistol shot, the uproar that fol-
lowed, and in the figure that sprang from
the Presidents box saw the lover of two
nights ago, and | knew that even 10 he
whispered in that young girls car he was
planning this dreadful scene. In Wilkes
Booths pocket was found the picture of
his betrothed, and she wrote of the assas-
sin that she would marry him at the foot of
tho gallows.

THE INSANE RoSTONuAN.
'Ehc Pursuit nnd Finding.

In Fridays GLOBE, this illness, insanity,
and flight of Bostonian, was noted, with
description Of tho pursuit. He was cap
tured after u pursuit of fifteen miles, us
thus described in special dispatch from
Canaan. N. H., to thc Boston Journal,
dated Thursday evening.
The dispatch says 1t Is seldom that
this village is thrown into state of such
intense excitement as was tho case on
Wednesday evening, when it was announce
ed that Mr. Flint had aroused from an APP
parently dcathlike stupor and was exposed
to the winter air. His condition during the
day had excited the sympathy of our clti-
zens, and when the report spread that he
had leaped from the second story window,
clad in but single garment, there was no
lack ofwiling feet to aid in the pursuit, rs
1t was evident to every one that unless i'm.
mcdiately followed he must perish
a light snow had fallen during Inc day,
and twenty men, with lanterns were at
once upon the track. He had gone with
the speed of q deer almost, avoiding every
sign of habitation, and his path was through
swamps and across streams but slightly ilo-
| zen, back toward the hills For three hotis
his followers pressed on with the utmost
speed, in many places bcingobligcd ohclp
each other over lodges where il seemed nj
most impossible that human being could
! go unaidcd, and in one case they were
obliged TO go round, finding it utterly I'M
possible to go over where he had made his
way.
Other parties had meanwhile started in
| pursuit, but had not oyertaNen the frs
when it came in sight of Mr. Flint. The
distance traycrscd is variously estimated
from ten 10 fifteen miles, ana it wouli be
utterly impossible by daylight for sac
man to find one more utterly impossible
1t seems incredible that any person could
be abroad for three hours in the cold north
wind of Wednesday night in the condition
of Mr. Flint and not perish
When found lie was taken to a fam
house at hand, wrapped in warm blankets,
and after such assistance as could be rem
dercl there to alleviate his condition WAS
brought 10 his hotel here. arriyin. about
midnight.
HIS condition is rs favorable rs could be
expected, though his feet are fcarluly
frost-bitten; bat he is able 10 converse in
diligently.

SOASTsSG AND THE LAW.

Tall oaks from little acorns grow" was
former y found in childrens school books, las
was, also, the couplct-wc do not give it IN
that form, and may not have it exactly cor
rect, as VIC quote from childhood's memo
ry-'as the twig is bent the tree il inclined,
So education forms the common mind. :"
The truisms in reference to the acorn and
bending of twig were not placed in those
books to teach the children q fact in natur-
al history. Their object was entirely diff
fcrent and strange as it may seem, it is
necessary, even at this day. to call the at
tcntion Of children of larger growth, the
fathers and mothers and the executors of
the law, to the truths intended to be incul'
Gated thei eby Great events flow from
small actions. Little things determine a
mans character and habits through life.
las the twig is bent the tree is Inclined"
so The character Of the future man is deter
mined by the principles inculcs,cd in the
mind of the child. 1t is true that children,
when they arrive at mature years, are some
Nii'lNo a'lt W lIllOh Oh klt
which surrounded them in childhood and
become good citizens Of society. Many,
we know, do this while others are swal-
lowelup in the malestroom Of vice because
they were not properly trained in child
hood. Ii is not the parent who is chiefly
to blame, but the officers of the law. We
are told not to despise the day of small
things, End it would be well if this precept
was KEEP. constantly ringing in the ears of
ever guardian OF the interests or safety of
the community. With them rests the
question whethera generation of law break
ers shall grow up, or whether, on the con-
tTary, the children of the present day shall
hereafter prove to he good law abiding Cit.
zens, All persons, both old and young,
must be taught to observe all laws, even
the most trivial. The moment you give a
child to understand that he can dregard
one law with impunity, you lay the found
alton OF law brcaker-and who can tell
what the end will lie, The history of
crime discoses the fact that the majority
of the inmates of our prison houses COM
mcnced by violating minor laws, which
were regarded as of no particular consc-
quencc, The offence was considered as
yenial, was condoned, and the child natur-
ally reasoned il it was not wrong to violate
one law, ii could not be very bad to violate
another.
Our attention has been again called to
this matter by the number of accidents
which have recently occurred from the yio-
ialion of the ordinance in reference to
'coasting" etc. Not day passes but some
person is knocked down by ono of these
coasters on the side walks teams are run
into and horses frightened to say nothing
OF the almost countless number of persons
who fall and suffer severe bodily injury.from
