The Absurd story about ,Is Remains

Identification md Delivery
to Ills Friends,

4 number OF ab7urcd stories are going
the rounds Of the press as to the DISPOSE
ton Of the remains Of j. Wilkes Booth.
The latest i, by Captain Oliver ?. Leslie,
of Pittsburs, who states that the body
was sunk in 4 lake seven miles
below Alexandra, Virginia. The in
controvcrtibIc facts are as follows:
The remains were ordered to be
delivered to the friends of Booth by
President Andrew johnson. John II.
Weaver, the undertaken, of this city, was
sent to Washington by his family to
bring them home for interment. A box
was taken up from the arsenal building
and delivered to him. 1t was brought
by him to Baltimore, and was examined
by him and a reporter OF the Gazette at
his room on West Fayette street, near
Holiday. They found in it a skeleton
wrapped in an army blanket, When the
blanket was taken of the skeleton was
covered with a powder having the APP
pearancc of soap.stone, and on being
rubbed between the fingers it disap-
pearcd Just as s0ap.stOne will do. On
the right foot was an army shoe, cut
open at the top its entire length, as if to
accommodate a swollen foot, The other
was a large cavalry boot, The reporter
/ of the Gazette examined the bones in and
above the shoe, and Tor some time could
find no injury. Believing the remains
tn be those of Booth, the reporter made

covered the leg was fractured clean
| through lust above the ankle. The frac-
ture was clearly marked, and the por-
ton below the fracture being lifted out
of the box, the ends of the bones were of
Il pure witness, leaving no doubt as to
the fact that Booth in leaping from the
box has fractured his right leg and not
sprained it. Still, the identity of the
remains were not satisfactorily estab-
li,hed, especially as there was no portion
of the spinal vertebrr missing and no
mark of any bullet upon them. A
brother OF Booth was sent for, who was
told by Mr.. Weaver as to the doubts as
to the identity of his remains, and Mr..
Weaver requested him to think of some
popularity, if any existed, in the struc-
ture of his brother that would forever
remove any doubt, After thinking for n
brief while, the brother said that all he
could remember was that his brother
had his tooth plugged with gold in a
peculiar manner, He described the To-
cation of the tooth, and drew with a
pencil the shape of the plug, which was
of unusual size. The teeth were taken
out, and the tooth was found plugged
just as described by the brother, and
forever setting at rest any question of
the identity of the remains. The re.
mains were buried in Greenmount ceme-
terry, in the same lot with his grand
father, father, and other children Of the
iamily.---Bah more Gazette.

Whatever credence may be given to
particular rumors from trah, says the
New York Tribune, it is sufficiently Ger
tain that in various parts Of that terri
tory an uneasy feeling is existing among
the Mormons, which Brigham Young Is
doing nothing to aliay. Indeed, ms
public utterances, if they are correctly
represented, are anything but pacific,
He is said to be preaching a crusade
which the Gentiles of the territory natn
rally regard as preached against them
selves. OF course, compared with Nor
mon population, they are a mere
handful, and they may well indulge IN
some apprehension OF violence. In salt
Lake Citvespecially they are greatly out,
numbered. We are further informed
that the military preparations OF the
Normons are considerable that drilling
is going on continually, and that arms
have been shipped in great numbers from
the east.
Brigham Young and his more unscruP-
ulous d]evotees are doubtIe>s lahorllS
under great apprehension. The yigor
DISPLAYED in the trial and execution OF
Lee has proved conclusively that the
temporal power in Utah is no longer IN
the hands of the Latter Day Saints. We
do not know precisely what they may
have to fear, but their record, as they
know better than anybody else can, Is
quite enough to make them anxious,
Their power and authority, onccso great
and almost unQuestiuned, are gone
Assassination will not help them, while
they are no longer, as they once were,
defended by distance and great deserts
from the weight Of the governments
hand. 1t is hard to see what they can
hope ultimately 10 accomplish Icy & com
plete defiance Of the federal power, or 10y
a resort to the madness OF massacre. hu!
there is an unreasonable because 1t Is
fauatical element in the Mormon popuJ-
latisn, which has not been sufficiently
taken into account. Ii is just possible
that Young himself may have beenmade
reckless by q term 50 prolonged OF ire
sponsible authority. Greater men IMAM
he have lost their heads under difficulties
comparatively less,
But whatever may be impending, we
may be sure that the beginning OF the
end l.. near. If the Mormon leader, cor

A Singular Fact,

A recent traveller in Mexico, who Wis,

says he was much astonished at seeing
the men who carry the ore come out Of
the mine each with one eye shut. The
foreman, seeing his surprise, explained
the matter. He said the candles belong.

where it is consequently quite dark, but
where, nevertheless, the taraier0s see
we'll enough not to run their heads
against the rocks. But on emerging into
daylight they would be blinded did they
not take precautionary measures. For
this reason, as they approach the mouth
OF the shaft at the point where they catch
the first glimpse OF light, they drop the
eyelld OF one eye, and keep this down
while discharging the ore, and until they
have re-descended the shaft. When
they are again in the dark, they open
the eye hitherto kept in reserve, and at
once they see everything distinctly
while the other eye, previously open and
somewhat by the daylight, per.

Farms are Made Enduring by Keeping
stock.

Farming in the west will be pursued,
in the future, by a very different system
from that nov placticed, in that there
will be less sold of the farm in the crude
state, The result is inevitable for two
reasons, viz: First, that the land will
not stand the steady annual cropping, no
return being made to compensate for the
drain second that men are very gen.
orally convinced that no profit can be
made by selling grain in the crude state.
II the grain be led in a profitable man.
ner; there are two material gains made /;
not the least, and by far the most endur-
ing, is found in the maintenance of the
strength OF our land.
The stock we teed and sell is soon gone
from our sight, and each shipment counts
out its own profit or loss. No indelible
mark Is left, except the mark which the
manure makes, and this mark will be
more enduring than most men accredit
1t with being. Forest lands that are
rich, are said by some to be more endur.
ing than prairie lands, because they have
for a longer time received vegetable de-
post upon the surface, and upon the re-
moval Of the timber, the roots Of trees
and decayed stumps and logs furnish fer
tilizing material for a long time. If
there be any truth in this notion favor

a GUIDE TO BEAUTY.-"1he most
perfect human beauty" says Flaxman,
"is that most free from deformity either
Of body or mind, and may be therefore
Defined the most perfect soul in the
most perfect body" The body must
be animated by a soul in which benev-
o]lence, temperance, fortitude and all
other moral virtues preside, unclouded
by vice. Nothing more destroys the
very traces of beauty than brutal fero-
city, revenge, hypocrisy or any other OF
the malignant passions.

can he restored TO

fertility by proper treat
me character Of the land and
way it has been injured make it I'M
possible to give specific directions, yet
there are a few general principles that
may be applied beneicially in any case.
One of the prime necessities is blowing
and working the land TO give exposure to
atmospheric influences. Sunlight, rain.
and the circulation OF the air in the soils
have a wonderful effect in increasing its
fertility. The warmth of the sun can
not penetrate far without the ground is
turned up by blowing. Exhausted
fields should be plowed somewhat deeper
than when last cultivated, to mix the
sub-so!l with that from the surface.
1hisi is very important, The deepening
process should be gradual. Too much
of this unprepared sub soil should not be
thrown up at once. \ suitable mixture
of the soil can be reached by frequent
plowings, going an inch deeper each time.
This thorough blowing aud pulverization
Of the soil, with the admixture of the
subsoil, will render available whatever
latent plant food there may be in the
field. Apply fertilizers with a liberal
hand, The kind to be used must be de.
termined by the character of the land,
its location aud the wishes OF the owner
If it is near the barn and the farmer is in
no hurry for the crop, and has plenty OF
stable manure to use, the land may be
plOwed in the spring, and q good coating
of manure thoroughly narrowed in,
During the summer and fall, pillow two
or three times, taking pains to deepen a
little each time. AT the last fall plnw-
ing, apply manure, and the next spring,
aztec plowing aud mAnurlng, a crop may
be started. Give good cultivation and
manure the land heavily when it is
cropped and it will in time be brought
to a high state of fertility. In this case
green manuring may be tried. Give the
same amount of blowing, make an appli-
cation of very fine manure, harrow in
and sow rye, oats or buckwheat. When
several inches high, pillow under. Let
the land rest 4 lew weeks, apply ashes,
SOW another crop and treat in like man
ner. These successive grOwths of rye or
buckwheat being plowed in, will furnish
a great deal of plant food and may be &C
cumulated in the soil and made ready
tor future crops. If this course is con-
tlnutd for a couple of years, good crops
will be certain. Special fertilizers are
made only for special crops, and, no reli-
anoe can be placed upon them for perma-
mem results. They will do a great deal
toward the production OF the crop, but
are not designed to effect great improve
ment in the character OF the soil. Barn
manure must be the great reliance
farmer in making good land ont OF
that which has been run down.--M Y
