Paving for a Pension Agency.

Miss Ada @. Sweet, pension agent at
Chicago, testified before the Congress
sional Committee on Civil Service, re-
Gently, in relation to the charges of pay
ing money for her position as pension
agent. She testified that she was an
applicant for the position, and in consid-
agreed to pay David Blakely, the pension
agent. 81, 100, and was directed to pay
the money over to B. 81. Campbell, then,
as now, United States Marshal for that
district. When she had paid the sum of
100 she notified Mr.. Blakely and Mr..
Campbell that she had performed her
part of the contract; but Mr.. Campbell
said that was not correct, that he had a
note against Mr.. Blakely for S., 600, and
that she was to pay the whole of that
note. Witness stated that Mr.. Camp
bell is Gen. Babcock's father-in-law.
Considerable correspondence passed be-
tween all the parties on the subject.
Mr.. Blakely was also defaulter as pen
sion agent in the sum of So, 900. When
ne turned the office over to Miss Sweet
he turned over to her 49,, 900, and in
duced her to give him a receipt for S40,-
to attend to it In a few weeks. He did
not do so, aud when the Office was visited
by an official from the Pension Office,
and Miss Sweet told him the whole
story, the agent told her he would delay
an examination of the Office until he was
on his return trip, SO as to allow some
further time fer paying this deficit. One
day after the Minnesota election, Gen.
J. II. Baker, Commissioner of Pensions,
and Blakely, came into her Office and
demanded that the amount of 1000
deficit should be paid that day, and
charged upon her as her own deficit.
She went to Campbell, and between them
the amount was raised, Campbell gave
her note for about 81, 800, which she
Endorsed and got discounted, and she
raised the balance of the So, 600. In
this way the deficit was made up. On
that occasion Blakely and Commissioner
Baker were great friends, and Baker
knew of the arrangement which she
made with Blakely. When the Presi-
dent found out that she was paying
money for her appointment he notified
her that continuance of it would be
sufficient cause for removal. This was
after she had paid the $4,000. She had
paid out so much on that amount that SO
far she had received no benefit from her
appointment as pension agent, but had
run into debt, and was still behind about
$4,000. Baker is now Surveyor General
for Minnesota, and Blakely is publishing
paper somewhere In that vicinity.

Instinct Of Reason.

As farmer in neighboring town
was getting in his hay, he noticed an
unusual connection among the swallows,
which had built a long row of nests
under the caves of the barn. They APP
peared greatly excited, flying rapidly
about and filing the air with their cries
of distress. AS the load of hay upon
which he was riding passed into the
barn, he saw that a young swallow in a
nest directly over the door had caught
its neck In crack between two shingles
and was unable to hberate itself. He
stopped his team and set the young bird
free, restoring it to the nest. Upon his
return to the barn with his next load OF
hay, noticing that the swallows were
quiet, he examined the crack and found

WILKES BOOTHS MOTIVE.
An 1mnrohable story Laid at Rest.

Colonel John w. Forney effectually
disposes of a story originally printed in
an obscure sensational paper, setting
forth certain alleged reasons why John
Wilkes Booth assassinated President
Lincoln. In brief, the story stated that
Booth and the rebel Capt. Beall were fast
friends; that Booth being in Washington,
and hearing of the approaching execu-
ton of the latter on the morrow, went
to the rooms of John P. Hale, then of
the Senate, at late hour at night, and
having reused him from his sleep, stated
his purpose to see the President and
save his friend, and that upon consulta-
ton they resolved to go to the house of
Mr.. Forney and get him to go with them
to the President, that the three went to-
gether to the White-house long after
midnight; that Mr.. Lincoln heard
Booths appeal for mercy for his dear
friend that In making this appeal he
confessed the conspiracy between him
self and others at Mrs. Surratt's house
to abduct the President, ETC., and on his
Bonded knees before the President,
weeping like child, besought pardon
for Beall; that at last, about 4 o'clock ID
the morning, ''pIty won, the President
bidding him get up like man, and,
while weeping himself, solemnly prom
ising the desired pardon. Next morn
ing, the story goes, when Mr.. Lincoln
stated his promise to pardon Bean to
Secretary Seward, that gentleman re-
monstrated against it, and satisfied him
that for the sake of the country he ought
not to keep his promise to Booth, and
that he did not. For this, says the story,
Booth killed the President. Col. For
ney, the only living witness, says: " The
whole story, so far as / am concerned, is
an utter fabrication. To my knowledge,
I never saw J. Wilkes Booth In my life.
The only time I ever visited Mr.. Lin
coin to secure a pardon was IN company
with an old friend, Washington Mclean,
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, some time,
] think, in February of 1865, to ask the
release of another old friend, Gen. Roger
A. Pryor, who was a prisoner IN Fort La
fayette, New York harbor. Mr. Lincoln
heard our statement, and set Gen. Pryor
free on the quaint condition that he
should report at my residence on Capt.
toll hill, where he remained my welcome
guest for several weeks, until was au-
thoriZed to return him to his friends and
family in Virginia. It is altogether
probable that [ signed letter to Mr..
Lincoln asking the pardon of the cele-
brated Capt. Beall. recommended
every southern man to mercy, charged
with whatever crime, at the close OF the
war. It is one OF the sweetest of my re-
collections that [ never turned away
such a DetitiOner from nv door. and
never refused to go to the prisons III
which southern men were confined to So
icit their deIiverance. AS to the state
ment itself, SO far as it relates to the
other parties and to the martyyed Presi-
dent, wish to add that if MIR. Lincoln
had made such a promise he would have
fulfilled il at all hazards, and Mr.. Sew
ard, with his gentle and generous bear
ing to the South, would have been the
last to ask him to break his word. y

Xanuppes

It seems that the memory Of this woman,
Like that OF her renowned husband, is likely to
be kept alive to the end of time. She is said
to have possessed very irritable temper, and
her name has become synonym OF vixen,
or "scold." 1t is more than possible, how
ever. that the Judgment passed upon her by
mankind has been too severe. A more chart
table disposition would undoubtedly have dis
covered in her many good qualities, and have
attributed her failings more to physical in
frmities than to moral obliquity. The party
most Intimately acquainted with her, and
therefore best able to form correct opinion,
gives her credit for many domestic virtues. It
is now well known that many of the diseases
to which women are subject have direct ten
dency to render them irritable, peevish, cross,
morOse, unreasonable, SO that they chafe and
fret over all those little ills and annoyances
that person In health would bear with COM
posture. It is fair to infer that most OF the
tantru1as of Xantippe were due to these causes
alone: and could Socrates, as he returned
from the Senate, the Gymnasium, or the Athe-
neum, have stopped at Pestle 81 Mortar's Drug
Store and carried home bottle of DIR. .Pierces
Favorite Prescription, now and then, no doubt
he might have evaded many curtain lee
ture, allayed many domestic broil, made
it much pleasanter for the children, and more
enjoyable for himself and rescued his wifes
name from the unenviable, worldwide, and
eternal notoriety it has attained. Thousands
of women bless the day on which DIR. Pierces
Favorite Prescription was first made known to
them A single bottle often gives delicate and
suffering women more relief than months of
treatment from their family physician. In all
those arrangements causing backache, drag
cling down sensations, nervous and general
debility, it is a sovereign remedy, It's sooth-
ing and healing properties render it Of the ut
most value to ladies suffering from internal
fever, congestion, Inflammation, or liberation,
and it's Strengthening effects tend to correct
displacements Of internal parts, the result of
weakness of natural supports. It is sold by
ell druggists.
