stratagem of the wiley Ulysses
was adopted on the Asian coast.
Democrats should remember
that these men. are all RepubIi-
cans and were probably work
ing for the advancement of that
party; and Democrats should
let them severely alone. Judge
Garter has decided affirlnatively
as to the relevancy of the hG-
6eGS corpus to the case of Kill
bourn and he has been turned
over 10 the Criminal Court for
trial, by him. What action tie.
House will take if any, I will
not venture to predict; but if it
should fail to act and thus vir-
tually consent that its authori-
ty may be set at naught by any
one interested in secreting and
abettiDg thieves, Investigations
may as we'll cease at once; for
by such a course the House
puts it out of its power to COM
pei witness to answer ques--
tion propounded by its commil-
tees. Belknap appears one OF
the most unmoyed spectators of
his trial, to be found among the
crowds that every afternoon fill
the galleries and corridors of
the Senate chamber. In tho
fight over the appropriation
bills between the House and
Senate, neither party shows a
sign of yielding; and the pros
poets for an early adjournment
are not fatteriHg. Many pre-
diet that the first of August
will still find Congress here. 1t
is said that since the Belknap'
and Babcock exposures the
President has fallen into old
habits and tarries long at tho
wine cup. Remorse is Il terri
bic ayenger. If the President
has not got beyond its reach,
through hardness of heart, he
may yet be induced to give up
for punishment the many Off
cial thieves still surrounding
him.

The wife of George |. Amsdell,.
a wealthy Albany, n. Y. brewer,
obtained a divorce from him in
1870. She was granted $4,000
alimony, of which $4,000. was
paid in cash and the rest in q
mortgage. In 1873 they were re-
married, and the wife gave back
the mortgage. In 1875 they were
ready to part again. The wife
began a suit to recover the mort.
gage. Mr.. John y. Hoffman was
made a referee in the case, and he
b2s decided that tie second mar
riags was null and void, as Mr..
Amsdell had no right to marry
while his divorced wife lived. =
Therefore a new mortgage must
be given to her and the arrearges

BROTHER,
Oh, be not the first to discover
A blot on the fame of friend,
flaw in the faith Of another,
Whose heart may prove true to the END
A smile or sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false and undue;
And thus our belief may be shaken
In hearts that are honest and true
How often the light smile of gladness
Is worn by the friends that we meet
To cover soul full Of sadness,
Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh of detection
Is heaved from abe hypocrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull a suspicion TO rest.
How often the friends we hold dearest
Their nobleSt emotions conceal;
And bosOms the purest, sincerest,
Have secrets they cannot reveal.
We none of US know one another,
And often into error may fall;
Then let US speak we'll Of our brother,
Or speak not about him at all.

mana personal friend who, in
serving the ones he loved, had
come to the door of death.
Booth told all. He told how,
long before, in a fit of passion
to do some bold deed, he had
Joined in a conspiracy to alb
duct the President and to hold
him as hostage for the release
of certain military prisoners
who were Booths friends, and
who it was thought, were to be
shot. He told of the meetings
they had held at the house of
Mrs. Surratt, and that all of that
plan had fallen to the ground
long before.
He offered his services at any
time, and in any place Or ca
pacity, free of cost or fearless
Of consequences. The eminent
gentlemen who were with him
joined in the request that the
prayer Of Booth be granted,
and that Bcal should be par
doned.
At last, President Lincoln,
with the tears streaming down
his face, took Booth by the
hands, bade him rise and stand
like a man, and gave him his
promise that Beal should be
pardoned. He asked the party
to depart that he might gain
rest, for the work Of the NOR
row, and said that tho official
document they asked for should
be forwarded at once to United
States Marshal Robert Murray,
in New York, and through him
to the officers charged with the
execution of Beal.
After breakfast, Lincoln in
formed Seward, Secretary Of
State, what he had done 0r
promised to do. Seward said it
must not be done. That pub
lie sentiment in the North de-
mandeG that Beal should be
hung. He declared that to par
don Beal would discourage en-
listments, lengthen the war and
insult the sentiment that called
for blood. He chided Lincoln
for making such promises with
out asking the advice Of his
Cabinet, or advising with HIM
self, Seward, on State policy.
AS the argument grew conten-
tious, Seward declared that if
the conduct of the war was to
be trified with by appeals for
humanity, he should go out of
the Cabinet and use his influence
against the President, land should
charge him with being in sym
pathy with the South.
Lincoln yielded and Bcal was
executed to the carrying out Of
the sentence Of the Court. The
reaction to Lincoln's nervous
system was such that for days
he was far from well.
The effect on Booth was ter
rible. He ravcd Ike a madman,
and in his frenzy swore that
Lincoln and Seward should
both pay for the grief and ago
ny he had been put to. From
the death of Beal Booth brood
ed vengeance for that which he
considered a personal afiront.-
His rage took in Seward, and he
engaged Harold, Azterodt and
others to avenge Beal's death
by killing Seward, while he
| Booth wreaked human ven-
geance on the President.
AT last came the hour. Booth
killed Lincoln. His friends and
the relatives or avengers Of Beal
tried their best to kill Seward,
and when they left him stabbed,
bleeding and limp as cloth, as
he rolled over behind the bed
whereon they found him, they
supposed their work was COM
pletely done.
Our story is told. We have
given the truth Of history, and
told exactly why Abraham Lin
coin, the humane President of
the United States, was killed.

cal consde rations, prices assumed fresh i'm

ern Union has checked an otherwise well-de-
veloped inclination to sell the general market,
but a suspicion that there might be some
scooping process" at work has induced the
large class OF operators to keep aloof from new
obligations on either side Of the account. The

doubtedly caused considerable throw
