ALL THAT REMAINS or THE Assassin
BoorH- = happened up e e the, the Surgeon
Generals Office the other day on busi-
mess, and while waiting ! took a
stroll through the museum, u up stairs.
This is in Ford's old theatre, where
President Lincoln was shot. Among
the many thousand specimens ! was
shown the third, fourth and fifth YER
zebra, taken from" the neck Of the as
sassin Booth, while near by, in small
vial, was . portion Of the spinal cord
from the cervical region. The stran-
ger would not know to whom these
belonged, for there is nothing to in
form him nothing but number and
a description Of the wounded parts
from which they were taken, and the
following announcement: From a
case where death occurred few hours
after injury, April 2e, 1865" ! knew
the correct history Of them. for there
was Rochester boy with me, who,
acting as orderly for DR.. Otis at this
time (who cut these bones and cords
from the neck of Booth), carried them
up to the museum. This was John
Callahan, formerly Of Company NJ,
Eighth New York Cavalry, Strange
to say, these relics of Booth are
placed very near the place where
stood the box in which his victim was
when shot. Seeing these things. Of
course my mind went back to the mar
tyred President especially were my
recollections of what l had heard of
him and his family more vivid in view
of the late afliction that has befal]en
his widow.-Er.

Fresh AIR AND PURE WArER-Each
year typhus and typhoid fevers carry
off thousands of victims, whose lives
are thus forfeited to their ignorance or
neglect of we'll ascertained laws. An
abundant supply Of fresh air and pure
water is necessary for the healthfal life
of both men and animals, and when
they are deprived Of these requisites,
disease and death ensue.
In our last issue an eminent physi.
clan presented statement of the prin-
|cipal causes which produce the typhus
class of fevers and this week he in
stances q case in which q father
and two daughters died from the effects
of drinking brook-water which was
impregnated with excrementitious
matter. 1t would not be difficult to
enumerate q large number of other
cases in'which death has occurred from
similar causes; but enough has been
shown to answer the purpose Of war
ming our readers against the danger of
carlessness with regard to what they
breathe and drink. Let us then be
advised, and supply our lungs with
pure air and our stomachs with whole
some food. d.-HeQM and Home.

tie further up the creek. We our
selves saw some Of the 3 and 4 ID.
nuggets, one 5 FOUNDER, thel8 and lO
Founders, and the one Of l23 ozs, 50
that we can vouch for them. s'3i
In addition to the Pilgrims Rest
workings, there are the MacMac Dig
gings, about six miles beyond the head
of the creek. Rich alluvial ground
has been found there, and several dig
gers are now at work and understood
to be doing well. Then there are the
Blyde River diggings, just beyond the
lower part Of the Pilgrims Rest creek.
Work is being carried on along the
banks of the river, and payable gold
has been found in several places. Re-
Gently a new spot-a flat-has been
rushed there, and very encouraging
prospects have, it is said, been dis
covered. Great hopes are enter
tained of the BIydc River diggings.
They are still in their infancy entire
ly undeveloped. Should they turn
out we'll, they will open up ground
that will give room for thousands of
miners. Then there are the W:.tcr-
fall diggings, about twelve miles from
this place. There are not many mi.
ners working there, but those who are
there are understood to bc doing pref
ty we'll. There are other spots in the
neighborhood looked upon AS likely to
turn out payable. but they have not
yet been properly prospected. The
great evil-thc great drawback-to
these Fields is that the miners do not
make their finds known There are
many finding we'll, Of whom but few
are aware. They fear that if they
make known their luck the ground
about them will l'e rushed. and hence
they keep dark This is much to be
regretted, as it materially retards the
development Of these Fields.
The extent Of ground allowed to
each miner as a claim is $50 feet
square. For the privilege of working
this he has to pay license of SIS. per
month. There is no other direct tax
upon him., nor does there appear to be
any indication Of any other being i'm
posed as yet. The Government Of
this country gives every encourage
ment to the miner; in no other gold
bearing country is he SO lightly taxed;
| in no other has he more liberty. In
this statement tue miners themselves
will, we are sure, bear us out.
We must now close this necessarily
imperfect sketch. Should Mr.. Rusl
and his friends require any further in
formation, we will gladly give it te
them. If they put specific questions
to us we will endeavor, to the best q
our ability, to answer them truthfully
We have given a plain, unvarnishoc
report of the present state Of affairs
here. If we have overlooked any nee
essary point we will be glad tn have
it pointed out to us, that we may
hereafter refer to it. We thank Mr.
Rush for the newspapers he has sent
us. They can be seen at any time a,

WASHINGTON, April 14th.-A very
extraordinary attempt at murder was
made last evening. The parties are
General Sutton and Mr.. Ross, COM
panions in arms in the Mexican war.
Sutton and Ross were about to open q
large billiard-room. According to
Sutton's anti-mortem statement, Mr..
Ross came to him this afternoon and
took him to the fourth story of the
building they were to occupy, to con-
suit with him about some improve
ments. While there, Ross attacked
him with a. heavy hammer and some
sharp instrument. After that every-
thing was blank to Sutton for two
hours. He revived and crawled down
two pair of stairs to where there were
workmen, who saw that he was COW
cred with blood and nearly dead. The
police, surgeons, and District Attol ney
were summoned. The physician said
Sutton must die. In his ante e-morten,
statement, he said Ross was his MUIR
derer. Ross was found in his room at
the Metropolitan Hotel, next to the
scene OF the murder. He was chang
ing his clothes. A bloody handker-
chief was found In his room and his
hand was cut. Ross was brought to
the dying man and declared that the
ante-mortem statement was a lie;
that he had not seen Sutton that day.
Ross begged Sutton not to go to eter-
nifty with lie on his lips. The affair
is very mysterious. Both parties are
well known. 9

Scenes Around Home.

We took pasedr yesterday. Saw
the active operation in the construc-
ton of the Main street horse-car rail-
road. The company have twenty-five
hands at work and everything moves
like magic. They began little South
of Mr.. o. w. Childs' and are building
toward the city. AS we drove towards
the Agricultural Park we passed many
lovely places handsomely improved.
Among them was General LONG,
STREETS. The sight of the Generals
place called to mind an incident in the
life of MoHAMMED.a 1t is said that the
old prophet once started to visit Da-
mascus, and that when he reached the
brow of the mountain in plain view of
the city he halted and stood STILL gaz-
ing on the city for some time. With
out saying q word, he started back.
After they had travelled some distance
his followers asked him why he would
not go to Damascus. His reply was,
"Man can have but one paradise, and
l prefer to have mine in the next
world" If the old prophet was cor
rect, the General had better not i'm
prove his place much more. On ar
irving at the Park we found every
thing worked off with the smoothing
iron, as neat as a PIN. The new club
house is a beautiful structure. but not
half as large as it ought to be. There
are number of fine stock in the sta
bles, ah.brushing up for a trial day.
We would like to speak of each of
them individually, but our treacherous
old memory lost all their names before
We reached home. The trip refreshed
US; we'd like to make it again.

New ORLEANS, April 15th.-The re-
port of the Committee on Elections,
embodying the terms of the award,
was adopted inHthe House by vote
of S2to 16. Most of the members dis
placed made speeches intimating their
acquiescence. A joint resolution rec
ognizing Kellogg as Governor and
pledging the members to support the
efforts of the Government In the line
of reform and good government, was
also adopted by the House, by vote
of 80 to Is.
In the Senate, Crozer (colored) Of
Terrebonne District is the only MEM
Der whose seat is involved. He will
be appointed By Governor Kellogg
wherf-master, and resign his seat in
the Senate. f. s. Goode will be
seated in his stead. This will perfect
the terms of the award, except the re-
organizations of the House, which will
be done in day or two.
Wilt and Estelle are prominently
mentioned for Speaker. Some think
Governor Hahn will be retained.
Congressman Wheeler left for home
to-day. He expressed himself satisfied
with the result of the action.
