Impromptu Grave of a Young Man who
Got Stuck on jim Jam Lead.

Tho kid Gas the young man was
called) had no coffin, ana no grave but
a deserted prospect hole, aud there WIS
no funeral hymn or clergyman to say
the last sad words above The still white
face. Around the prospect hole were
grouped a few brown featured men
whose hearts bled for the distant
mourners whose unfortunate loved one
was soon TO be laid to rest in that I'M
known grave.
Ia the absence of other services Buck
Bramel stepped up on a large copper
stained boulder and said:
'.Pardners, we are here to plant all
that is mortal of the Kid. He came to
us as pretty 4 piece of blossom rock as
l ever laid my eyes on, but before he
struck the footwall, his lower level was
flooded, and now the claim is ADAM
doned The Indications seemed good,
bit whisky shut off the assessment
work, and no dividends will ever be de
ciared.
.'If he'd a struck some other outfit
he might have panned MI right, but we
cot him stuck on jim jam lead. and
now we're going to plant him in the
prospect Shaft of the Paupcr's Dream.
''Pardners, I don't know how You
feel about this business, but | lave
pretty near made up my mind that
there has got to be q reform in this
camp. or there won't be prospect holes
enough to go around.
Il tell you, it's n solemn thought.
How would Colorado feel on resurrec-
ton day TO have delegation of drank
and disordorlies like us crawl out of the
ground and ask to be recognized By the
ch:ir?
Il tell you, pards, every one of us
will pinch out before Fall if we don't
change orr dip. Our lives will be
nothing but Slide or blowout, or a
chimney of barren ore. II we calcu-
late to lave any showing on the dump
in the sweet by and by, we've got to
take tumble. ''-NYe's boomerang.

The Keelv Motor.

Mr. Kelley, the ingenious and re-
nowned inventor of the Keely motor,
still conducts the business of roping in
credulous millionaires at the old stand.
He recently gave an exhibition, which.
according 10 the New York Times, con-
isis: ed of mixture Of sandwiches, oys-
tiers, champagne and talk, most of
which was "unintelligib!e jargon.''
Pouring glass of water into his motor
a lever was gradually raised which
Keely said measured Il pressure of o.
600 pounds to the square inch. A ISL
rem connected with the machine also
uttered a slight screech. The pressure,
Mr.. keely explained was an elastic
pressure The machine likewise fred
bullet through two-inch plank. He
also scraped a tuning fork with his fid-
die bow, which set Il copper globe TO
rotating. The reporter asked the in
ventor to open a room which was inn
metiiately underneath the motor. but
which was very carefully locked and
bolted. Mr.. Keely, who was greatly
taken aback BY the request, peremptor-
iIv refused to do anything of the kind,
because there was in that room an APP
paratus for biting weights under con-
struction for certain parties in Califor-
MIA. The motor was soon exhausted,
and Keely explained it by saying that
the power was ..latentn in the motor.
When asked why he didn't keep the
machine moving for week or two in-
stead of for a moments. he made no
reply. When asked to explain the prin-
ciple on which it was based, he de-
clined because lit would take week"
..There was nothing positive shown
says the reporter, (which necessarily
lead to the Inference of fraud or de-
ceit. The tests were simply inconclu-
sive. without practical value, and left
the matter where it was before

The Judge slowly arose and meand-

Booths Body.


The Washington correspondent of the
Buffalo Commercial writes: 1T was
only after some patient inquiry that l
could ascertain the facts, which are IN
teresting and, as far as / know, are yet
unpublished. Booth, the murderer of
Abraham Lincoln. died, as will be re-
membered, in a barn in Maryland, from
a wound received from the musket of
Boston Corbett. The body was brought
to Washington. and, after having been
identified by the court martial before
which his fellow conspfrators were
tried, was dissected by the surgeon-gen-
eral of the army. The brain and heart
and some parts of the body were pre-
served in alcohol and are now on exhi-
bition in the medical museum of the
surgeon-generaPs office. The building
in which the assassination occurred was
Ford's theater. The government con-
fiscated it, but aforward Ford was paid
its full value, and it has since been used
as a headquarters of the medical corps
of the army. The brain and heart of
Booth are in jars, standing in q case
that is very near the actual scene of
the assassination. After the surgeons
had done with Booths body it was bur-
led in a grave in the arsenal grounds.
Only half a dozen persons knew the
exact spot, which was unmarked. In
1867 Edwin Booth, the actor, sent Mr..
Weaver, the sexton of Christ church,
Baltimore, to Washington, with the re-
quest that the remains of his brother
might be taken up and removed to the
family burial place. After some delay
the request was granted by President
johnson, who was finally appealed to.
and Mr.. Weaver took the body to the
cemetery in Baltimore, and buried it
beside the elder Booth and others of
the family. The removal was conduct
ed with great secrecy, AMI was c9n-
cealed from Secretary Stanton. who
had refused to give his consent.
