THE SOLDIERS BOON,
The Plans are Becoming Definite.

At the regular meeting of the ex-
eeutive committee of the soldiers
reunion held at the Plankinton
House last Tuesday, the ques,iop of
prizesswas discussed, spd it was de-
cided that sl.400 be divided pro
rata, among Wisconsin militia com.
panies, according to the pun Der
attending, and the number of miles
travelled. In addition, 81, 900 is of.
fersi for distribution smong sll she
companies bringing As guns.
After some discussion over the
question of the metal badges as re-
union souvenirs, which local jsweis
ers repors can DO nsds for nine
cents each, it was concluded that q
contract be let TO some responsible
person to distribute and cell the
badges, guaranteeing 10 the manu-.
iacturer the sale OF 10000 of them
In regard to the cost of lranspo.,
tstion, it was thought that it would
require from ten TO fifteen cars ia

that it whould cost $50 1t was

A REMINISOENOE.



1t is not generally known, but it is
nevertheless true, that there lives in
the village OF Nashville, in Barry
county, north of Battle Greek. man
who took part in the suit and cap
lure OF J Wilkes Booth. who attained
such notoriety IS the murderous as.
sassin OF the Iamented President
Lincoln. Emory Parady, Esq, JUS
tice of the Peace in that village, is
the man who witnessed these mo.
mentous scenes, aud perhaps there is
no man living who can tell more of
that thrilling historic transaction
than he can. He was present on
that dreadful midnight hour at Gar
rett's farm, in Virginia heard all
the conversation between Colonel
Conger, Lieutenant Baker (who we're
in command), and Booth; heard
Booth challenge the officers to with
draw their men and he would fight
them alone, and heard their response
that they came to capture, not to
fight him saw the faint hearted
Harold come out and surrender, and
after parleying for long time to get
Booth to do the same thing, saw the
straw in the barn fired, and the lurid
flames reveal the haggard face of the
assassin. As the flames increased,
and crept toward the roof and began
spreading in every direction, Booth,
with desperation and despair glazing
from his eyes, and with broken leg
leaped savagely out into the dark
ness to get a glimpse of his hidden
foes, with carbine in hand, resolved
to sell his life as dearly as possible.
But the unerring aim of b. Corbett
cut short his career. and in an instant
the traitorous murderer Of Americas
cherished President lay qnivering on
the ground with a fatal W und
through his head.
Mr.. Parady received over $4,000
as his portion of the reward offered
for Booths capture, and the celebrated
Tom Corwin, of Ohio, was his coun-
sci. Mr.. Parady says that he was at
Booths side in a few seconds after he
was shot, and helped carry him from
the burning barn, and witnessed his
death. OF all the thrilling scenes
witnessed by this veteran while a
soldier, he characteEizes the pursuit
and capture of Booth the most ex.
citing.

THE Avengcr of Mankindn-A Gen.
uine Tragedy.

London Telegraph.
A terrible scene took place in,the
Testrodel Circo at Madrid few
days ago. During the performance
a mailman forced his way into the
house, armed with a Ratchet, and
contrived to climb from the auditor
ium upon the stage, where, brandish.
ing his weapon furiously, he an.
nounced himself to the terrified audi
ence as "the avenger OF mankind"
Upon one Of the attendants APP
preaching him with the object of per.
suading him to withdraw from the
stage he smote the unfortunate man
to the earth with one deadly blow !;
and be managed to keep the police
of, when they attempted to arrest
him. by whirling his Ratchet around
his head with such force and swift
ness that none ofthe "agents of au-
thority" dared to rush in upon him.
Presently, however, party of sol.
diers made its appearance in the
theatre, under the command of an
officer, who summoned the raving
maniac to give up his weapon and
surrender himself, but in vain !;
whereupon the detachment received
received orders to FIRE at him with
blank cartridge. in the hope of
frightening him into submission. All
this while he was yelling at the top
of his voice, flourishing his Ratchet,
and threatening to kill anybody
who should approach him. Recog.
nizing the impossibility of overpower-
ing him without risking the soldiers
lives, the officer gave the order to
load with ball and fire upon him. A
minute later the wretched man Law
corpse upon the stage, three bullets
having passed through his head and
this highly sensational dramatic cpl
sode having been brought to a close,
the audience returned to their places
from which they had fled in terror
when the mailman made his first and
last appearance upon the stage, and
the evenings performances were re-
s1med at the point at which they had
been interrupted by "mankind's

/ am deeply sensible of the man,
national sins Of my own country
We have abundant cause for humili
alton. The strifes and DIVISIONS O.
ChristIans-the quantity of semi.
Romanism and skepticism tolerated
In our own ranks-the bitterness
and unscruplousness of Political fac
tions-the commercial frauds among
the middle classes-the gambling
and the Injury of the upper ter
thousand-the drunkenness of the
lower half million-all these sins, ]
well aware, cry against us 10 heaven
But still, after all, in fallen world
like this, things must be measured
By comparison. 1t would be I'm.
grateful if we did not thank God for
what we have. Where in the world
will you find so much preaching or
real gospel--so much circulation OF
the Bible and sound religious litera.

much care for life and property--so
much thought for the sick and the

so much family purity where, /
ask any one looking at the map of
the globe, where will you find
so much as in our own eonntry
No doubt there are plenty of abuses

day. Look at q Sunday in London,
with it's 100000 of Inhabitants.
See how the immense majority of
shops through miles and miles of
streets are shut up and business
suspended. See how Post Office
and banks, and exchanges, aud law
courts, and the tbeaters, and mu.
seums, and picture galleries are all
closed. See what hundreds of
churches and chapels and Sunday,
schools are opened, and what
myriads of people attend them in
spite of the attraction of river and
rail. And then turn to sny great
Continental metrnpolis-to Paris,
Madrid, Naples, Vienna, Berlin
and mark how Sunday is observed
in them. Mark the extent to which
Gods holy day is given up to mill
tary reviews, to races, to bull. fig hts,
to theater-going to dancing, to con.
certs. to everything in short, except
ing God. Mark all these thing, and
learn one grand reason why the
standard of religion is so much
higher in our own country, with all
Its sins. than elsewhere. There is an
inseparable connection between the
observance Of the Lords day and
the property of true religion. Vol
