j. WILKES BOOTHS BODY.
what was done with the body Of J..
Wilkes Booth, the murderer Of our lamen-
ted President
Ans--John Wilkes Booths body was
originally buried IN tho grounds of the ar
senal at Washington, under some willow
trees, and the grave was unmarked, even
by = mound. Very few psople knew where
it lay, and various stories Of 1t disposition
were current. In 1865 Edwin Booth, the
actor, applied to President Johnson, through
Ar. Weaver, the Sexton OF Christ Church,
Baltimore for the possession Of his broth
er's remains. An order was issued by the
President directing the commandant At the
arsenal to exhums and deliver the remains
to Mr.. Weaver, which vas done in very
sercet manner, for fear Of public interfer-
ence. The body was taken to cemetery
in Baltimore, where 1t was buried beside
the elder Booth and other members OF the
family. The removal was not generally
known for q long time afterward. Booths
brain and heart, and some bones that were
taken from his leg are ON exhibition at the
Army Medical Museum at Washington-
tho same building in which the assassina-
tion took place. The theatre was taken BY
the government, and IL the headquarters OF
the Medical Corps Of the Army. E

Any other transparent liquid would be,
of course, equally dangerous if exposed
TO the sun.
"That animal bodies are liable to
spontaneous combustion" says Profess
sor Weissman, sis fact which was we'll
known to the ancients. Many cases
have been adduced as examples, which
were no doubt merely cases of indi-
viduals who were highly susceptible to
strong electrical excitation." A certain
gentlemen, known to the professor, on
a cold, Keen, winter night, retired TO his
chilly sleeping-room. He had worn
silk stockings over woolenn ones during
the day. On undressing for bed, as he
drew off his silk stockings, he heard
sharp, cracking noise, but paid no
special attention to it. In the morning,
in looking for his silk stockings, he
found them consumed to ashes, with
out setting fire to the chair on which
they were laid. Still more wonderful
and awful is the assurance that the wife
of Doctor Treilas, physician to the late
archbishop of Toledo, Spain, emitted
infiammable perspiration of such ma
ture that when the ribbon she wore was
taken from her and exposed to the cold
air it instantly took fire, and flashed
with sparks of fire like lively Ro-
meister, in the Berlin Transactions"
1879, records case of the same nature
respecting a peasant, whose linen took
fire whether 1t was laid up in a box
when wet, or hung up in the open air.
A case of this kind recently occurred at
the ahattoir in Jersey City. During a
spell of hot weather one of the workmen
! threw off his blue linen blouse, smoking
with perspiration. 1t was hung up in
the icehouse. Ina few minutes it burst
into q corruscation of sparks and lit
orally consumed itself.
! One of the most remarkable cases of
spontaneous combustion on record is
| that of the Countess Cornelia Zangari
and Bandi, of Cessna, Italy. This lady,
who was in tAe sixty-second year of her
age, retired to bed in her usual health.
Here she spent about three hours in
familiar conversation with her maid,
and in saying her prayers, and, having
at last fallen asleep, the door of her
chamber was shut. AS her maid was
not summoned at the usual hour, she
went into the bedroom to wake her
mistress, but receiving no answer she
opened the window and saw her corpse
on the floor in the most dreadful condi-
ton. At the distance of four feet from
the bed there was heap of ashes; part
of the body was half burnt, the stock
ings remaining uninjured; most OF the
body was reduced to ashes. The air in
the room was charged with floating SCOT
(animal carbon). The bed was not in
iured. From an examination of all the
circumstances of the case, it has been
generally supposed that an internal
combustion had taken place; that the
lady had risen from her bed to cool
herself, and that on the way to open the
window, the combustion had over
powered her and consumed her body by
a process in which no flame was pro-
duced which could ignite the furniture
on the floor.

Santa FA.

l used to think Fernandina was the
sleepiest place in the word, but that
was before had seen Santa Fe. The
drowsy old town, lying in sandy val
ley inclosed on three sides by mount ain
walls, is built of adobes laid in one
story houses, and resembles an eXten-
siye brick-yard, with scattered sun
burnt kilns ready for the fire.. The ap-
proach in midwinter, when snow, deep
on the mountains, rests IN ragged
patches on the red soil OF New Mex
leo, is to the last degree disheartening
to the traveller entering narrow streets
which appear mere lanes. Yet, dirty
and unkept, it has the charm of foreign
flavor, and like San Antonio, retains
some portion of the grace which long
fingers about, if indeed it ever forsakes,
the spot where Spain has held rule for
centuries, and the soft syllable OF the
Spanish tongue are yet heard.
1t was a primeval stronghold before
the Spanish conquest, and town of
some Importance to the white race
when Pennsylvania was wilderness
and the first Dutch governor was slowly
drilling the Knickerbocker ancestry
in the difficult evolution OF marching
around the town pump. Once the capi-
tai and center of the Pueblo kingdom,
it is rich in historic interest, and the
archives OF the territory, kept or rather
neglected, in the leaky old Palacio, del
Gobernador, where l write, hold
treasures we'll worth the seeking OF
student and antiquary. The building
itself has a history full of pathos and
stirring interest as the ancient fort Of
st. Augustine, and is older than that
venerable pile. 1t had been the palace
of the Pueblos immemorially before the
holy name Santa Fe was given in honor
of the Spanish conqueror; palace Of
the Mexicans after they broke away
from the crown; and palace ever since
it's occupation by FL Gringo. In the
stormy scenes of the seventeenth CEN
tury it withstood several sieges; repeat
edly lost and won, as the white man or
the red held the victory. Who shall
say how many and how dark the crimes
hidden within these dreary earthen
llsp-AtJantic Monthly.

TERMS. ei.DO A YEAR.
The Battle Of Life,

Go forth to the battle of lie, my boy,
Go while it is called to-day,
For the years go out and the years come in
Regardless OF those who may loose or win,
Oi those who may work or play.
And the troops march steadily on, my boy,
To the army gone before;
You may hear the sound OF their falling feet
Going down to the river, where two worlds
meet;
They go to return no more.
There is place for you in the ranks, my boy,
And duty, too, assigned;
81 tep into the front with cheerful face,
b quick or another may take your place
And you may be left behind.
There is work to be done by the way, my boy,
That you never can tread again;
Work for the loitiest, lowliest men
Work for the plow, plane, spindle and pen
Work for the hands aud the brain.
The serpent will follow your steps, my boy,
To lay for your feet snare;
And pleasure sits in her fairy bowers,
With garlauds OF poppies and lotus flowers
Enwreathing her golden hair.
Temptations will walk by the way my boy,
Temptations without and within:
And spirits OF evil, with robes as fair
AS those which the angels in heaven might
wear
viii lure you to deadly sin.
Then put on the armor OF God, my boy,
In the beautiful days OF youth;
Put on the helmet aud breast-plate and shield
And the sword that the fullest arm may wied
In the cause OF right and truth.
And go the battle OF life, my boy,
With the peace OF the gospel shod,
Aud before high heaven do the best you eau
For the great reward and the good OF man,
For the kingdom and crown OF God.

his room and immediately called, FIRE.

The Benders Identified.

FREMONT, Neb, August 2,--It is geuer-
ally believed here that the two prison
era arrested few days ago and held by
Sheriff Gregg, are the notorious John or
Old Man Bender and his wife, of Kansas,
who several years ago made robbery and
murder Of their guests a regular business.
Suspicion was first aroused by their inquir-
les as to whether the whereabouts of the
Bender family had yet been discovered.
They were travelling on foot through the
country and were overtaken thirty miles
west of here. Gregg accosted them with
Hello, Kate" The woman at once replied
NV name aint Kate Bender" In jail they
were interviewed by Mr.. Hoohan, who
once lived near them in Kansas. He fully
identified them. The woman denied that
she is Mrs. Bender, but says her male COM
nan ion is Old Man Bender Hooflan showed
the male prisoner plan of Bender's Kan
sas house, adjoining the graveyard which
the old man acknowledged was correct
drawing. The woman was then inter-
viewed alone She recognized Hoofan, but
said she never expected to see him again.
She expects that telling the truth now will
save her, but Acknowledges the possibility
of hanging. The woman insists that

Singular Freaks of Lightning.

The NorristosOn Herald of Saturday
gives the following account of the singular
freaks that the lightning played at house
in that borough the other day
sLightning struck tho kitchen chimney at
the residence of Mr.. VIM. E. Thomas, on
Elm street, at about o'clock Friday morn
ing. The fluid descended into the kitchen,
breaking the range, demolishing stove-
pipe and set on fire some paper that wash
the iange, burning it and scattering it over
the room. A can of coal oil on the range was
not touched, while number of flat irons on
the same article of kitchen furniture were
thrown about the room. SCOT was scatter
ed through the apartment. The family
were not at home at the time and the dam
age was not discovered until Mr.. Thomas
returned at about in the evening. The
paper thrown over the room was completely
charred, but the carpet, singular to say,
was not set on fire. The neighbors saw
smoke coming from the chimney in the
morning and were attracted by it because
the family were thought to be absent, but
no investigation was made. Mr.. Thomas
surprise upon seeing the condition of affairs
in the evening and qualification at the mar
row escape from fire, can be imagined.
Mr.. Joseph r. Ebret and family, living
in the adjoining house, say the smell of
sulphur was so strong that they were COM
PEELED to leave the building. No damage
was done there, although the chimneys of
the two houses are built together.
