l have just had a long interview with
Haskell, who brings letters to me from
Stanley Matthews and Mr.. Evarts. The
purport of Mr.. Matthews letter is,
that | ought to yield my rights
for the good OF the country. This
is embarrassing beyond endurance.
If such action is desired, | want to know
it authoritatively. | am not acting for
myself, and | caunot assume such re.
sponsibility. Please inquire and tele'

WASHINGTON special, 9Th, to

WASHINGTON special, 9TH, to
Courier-Journal:
The Inauguration has gone oil With
only a moderate amount OF eclat aud
enthusiasm. The procession has disap'
pointed public expectation. The negroes
of the district have made up a large por'
ton Of the throng, both by day and by
night. The best show, perhaps, was that
of the crowd to the east OF the Capitol,
numbering some ten thousand persons,
President Hayes inaugural address Is
unsatisfactory to the extreme Republi
a BY the Democrats it is regarded
as a document the key to which can only
be found in his official acts. Like a suit
Of ready.made clothes, it viii lit any,
body. The best sign about Hayes
course is the dissatisfsciion Of the ex-
IRENE Republicans. They do not like
bis cabinet, nor do they ike the proposed
policy in respect to South Carolina aud
Louisina. Mr., Conkliug is particularly
displeased. After making a special effort
to have his friend, Mr.. Plat, OF New
YORK, appointed postmaster general, he
was finally refused on Friday, and Carl
Scburz, who is Bis pet aversion, goes into
the interior department, while his rival,
Eyarts, Of New York, goes into the State
department. Republicans say that
Conklin's defeat is a complete humilia-
ton. Mr.. Morton tried to have Tyner
ksptin as postmaster general, ADD failed.
He is said to be much displeased, but is
not likely to make an issue with Hayes.
Blaine is also sulky aud wrathy. it repors
be true. The great cause OF division,
however, is the general policy OF the
administration, and the refusal Of the
President to submit to the clique inhu-
ences heretofore potential.

Ehe Remains of j. Wilkes Booth. y

To dispose of certain absurd stories
that have lately appeared in the public
prints, the Baltimore Gazette says that
President Andrew Johnson ordered the
remains of j. Wilkes Booth to be deliv-
cred to his family, and that they sent
John FL. Weaver, Baltimore under
talSer, to Washington to receive them. A
box was taken up from the Arsenal build
ing and delivered to him. 1t was found
to ocontain skeleton wrapped in an army
blanket. On the right foot was an army
shoe, cut open at the top its entire
length, as if to accommodate swollen
foot. On the other was large cavalry
boot. A reporter of the Gazetc ex-
amined the bones in and above the shoe.
and found that the leg was broken Just
above the ankle. Still, the identity of
the remains was not satisfactorily estab-
lished, especially as there was no portion
OF the spiual vertebre missing, and no
mark OF any bullet upon them. A
brother Of Booths was sent for, who
said that Wilkes had his tooth plugged
with gold in peculiar manner. He de-
seubed the location of the tooth, and
drew with pencil the shape of the plug,
which was OF unusual size. The teeth
were taken out, and the tooth was found
plugged as described. The remains We're
buried IN Greenmount cemetery, i'll the
same lot with his grandfather, father, and
children of the family.

A Farmers Freak.

The grave opened in Lawrenceburg.
says the Cincinnati Enquirer, recently.
Five years ago the people of Lawrence
burg were shocked by what was supposed
to be q foul murder between that place
and Sunmansville. The victim was John
Buckhorst, n farmer who lived on the
Manchester pike. He sold his farm at
considerable sacrifice, obtaining his
wife's signature to the deed with some
difficulty, and on the day prior to the
supposed tragedy he visited Sunmans
vile and collected about 81 200. In the
evening he started ostensibly for home.
The next day his coat, hat and shirt
were found torn to threads, near a
spot that bore evidence of q terrible
struggle.
An old farmer named Fake was ar
rested on suspicion, aud creek near the
spot was dragged for the body, but with
out result. The fact that Fake was
flush with money was regarded as suffi-
Gent circumstantial evidence to variant
summary action A vigilance committee
wss therefore organized and a rope was
prepared, and but for the earnest plead
lngs of some sober-minded men, poor
Fake might have been hanged as the
murderer of Ruckhorst.
Meantime Buckhorsts wife was de-
pendent upon charity, the farm having
been sold and the money collected. She
has thus lived ever since, and moumed
for her husband as one dead. And now
comes the dcnouement One day an
old neighbor of Buckhorst, being in
Louisville, saw a man driving hack
who looked very much like his old neigh
Dor Buckhorst, and after pressing him
drew from him the acknowledgment that
he is the same who disappeared from
Lawrenceburg five years ago. He is
working i'll a Louisville livery stable,
and takes new alias every few weeks. |
de has been known in Louisville as j.
j.. Williamson. He is living with an
other woman.

4 Domestic Romance.

james Boyd is one of the wealthiest
young farmers of O'Hara township, Pa.
Miss Minnie Brown is the daughter OF
another wealthy farmer of the same
neighborhood. On the seventeenth OF
last August Alderman McKelvey, of Al.
legheny, was called to unite the two in
marriage. The ceremony was performed
in the presence OF the family only, but
in little time after the knot had been
tied Boyd excused himself for few
moments, and left the room. Instead of
returning he sprang into his carriage,
drove home, and from that time to the
present has never visited nor spoken to
his wife. A few days ago the father of
the abandoned bride appeared before AL
derman McKelvey and charged Boyd
with desertlon, and the latter was placed
under bond of 81, ZOO for his appear
ance at the June sessions. The parties
are among the most respectable people
of the neighborhood, and the Young
wife and her family are heart-broken at
the situation.

In Sweden the swallows, as soon as the
winter begins to approach, plunge them
selves into the lakes, where they remain
asleep and hidden under the ice till the
return of summer, when, revived by the
new warmth, they come out from the
water and fly away as formerly. While
the lakes are frozen, if somebody will
break the ice in those parts where it ap-
pears darke. than the rest. he will find
masses of swallows-cold, asleep, and
half dead, which, by taking out of their
retreat and warming, either with his
hands or before fire, he see gradually
to vivify again and fly. In other coun-
tries they return very often to the cav
erns, under the rocks. AS many of these
exist between the city of Caenand the sea,
on the banks of the river One, there are
found during the winter piles of swal-
lows suspended in these vaults, like
punches of grapes. The same thing
may be seen in Italy, where, as well as
in France, it is considered very lucky by
the inhabitants when swallows build
nests on their habitations.

That because the Grand Central Hotel is known

But this is not the case, as the last reduction TO

Must either pass through the Natural channels
of exit, the bowels, the kidneys and the pores,
or, in default thereof, poison and disorder the
fluids of the system. In order to effect the
complete expulsion of this dangerous refuse,
the organs through which it passes off must
be active and un0bstructed. Fortunately there
is certain means of rendering them SO when
they are not. Hostetters Stomach Bitters
stimulate the action of the excretory organs,
and by diffusing genial warmth through the
circulation, encourage moderate perspiration.
BY this triple effect the exodus Of the focal and
other waste matters are encouraged, and the
system freed from peril it would otherwise in
cur. The action of the bowels which follows
the use of this benefcent Alternative is easy and
unaccompanied by gripping, and its stmulative
effect upon the urinary organs very coducive
to their local health.
