The circussas.

Sells circus. last. Friday drew a
crowd said to be the largest ever in
Pulaski. The show is enormous
and good, though it was clear that
they had not recovered from the
railroad smash-up that nearly ami
hilated them. We never saw four
double summersault leapers in one
circus before, and this feature was
about in keeping with the balance.
Coles circus drew the smallest crowd
we ever saw in Pulaski to a circus.
The reason is apparent. 1t was
good but not so extensive as Sells.
1t is of little use to comment on a
circus in Giles, as everybody comes.

Fish Breakfast-Tahiti.

Breakfast was prepared for us in a
native house, which was decorated in
most original style with large patch
work quilts, in lieu of flags, and reliev-
ed with graceful fronds of tree-fern.
Here, as at most other feasts, there was
a considerable consumption of raw fish,
which is considered very great deli
cacy, and one for which many foreign
ers acquire strong liking. There is
no accounting for tastes. King Arrii-
aue, who took great care of me at
meals, tried hard to teach me this en-
joyment, and on my objecting declared
it to be mere prejudice, as, of course. |
ate oysters raw-he might say almost
say alive. To this l could answer
nothing, well remembering the savage
delight with which 1 have often knock
ed oysters off rocks and branches and
swallowed them on the instant. But,
then, they are so small, and some of
these fish are so very large. Perhaps
ones instructive objection is to their
size. Those most in favor are of q
most exquisite green color. >. Fish of
all sorts and kinds, cooked and raw to
suit all tastes, excellent Holsters and
crabs, huge fresh-water prawns, deli
cate little oysters which grow on the
roots and branches of the mangrove,
which fringes some muddy parts of the
shore. But most excellent of all is
another product of the briny mud, al
together now to me, a hideous, but
truly delicious, white cray6sh, called
varo or wurrali. We all registered a
solemn VOW never to lose chance of q
varo feast. The tables were decorated
in manner quite in character, having
pillars of the banana root stem, white
as alabaster, with fringe of large
prawns at the top and frieze of small
Holsters below-a very effective study
in scarlet and white.-Contempora, y

Farm and Garden.

THE STRAWBERRY BED.-Strawbe ber-
ries are now done bearing. AS soon
as the ground is dry enough to work,
let the ground between tho rows be
well worked with plow and cultivator,
so as to make it perfectly clean.
Clean between the hills with the
hoe, and pick out every weed or spear
of grass or white clover. After q
thorough cleaning and wedding, a
dressing of well rotted compost will
pay handsome return.
Mulching should not be done until
the ground freezes. This should be
put on thick enough to prevent thaw.
ing and freezing, and to keep the
ground moist and of as uniform condi-
ton as possible until the fruit has
matured.
Straw, yard grass, leaves and tan
bark are used, but the best and clean
est mulch we have found yot is made
by passing corn fodder through the
cutting box 1t is absolutely fret
from grass or weed seeds. 1t will mo-

Washington, when Booth had sent
his fatal ball crushing through the
brain of Abraham Lincoln, and had
leaped from the box to the stage
brandishing dagger and crying
"Sic semper tyrannis % and the
whole audience was shocked, amazed
and stunned, and the wounded Presi-
dent clutched and gasped for life,
Lewis Powell presented himself at the
residence of Secretary Seward, who
+ had been thrown from his buggy a
few days before and was confined to
his bed, and asked to the Secretary s
room. He was met at the door by
William III. Bell, a colored butler,
who told Powell that he could not
see the Secretary. Powell had a
small vial of medicine in his left hand,
with his right hand in his coat 'front.'
He wore dark gray coat, and a
slouch felt hat bent down over his
eyes. He spoke in firm, but low
tone of voice, and said he had been
sent by DIR. Verdi with the medicine.
and with instructions how it should be
taken. After some hesitation he was
admitted by the butler, and when he
had assembled the stairs he was met lby
Frederick Seward, who demanded to
know his business, when Powell
felled him to the floor, cutting him
twice in the head with knife held
with the blade down below his hand
he then turned upon Bell and disabled
him severely. He then proceeded to the
room of the Secretary and was met at
the door by Augustus Seward, whom
he stabbed nigh unto death, cutting
him five or six times Pushing his
way into the sick room he was attacked
by George F. Robinson, the nurse,
and by Z. w. Hansell The former
was wounded in the face and forehead
with his knife, and the latter he stab
bed over the sixth rib to depth of six
or seven inches. Forcing bis way
past the other attendants in the room
he went to the bedside of Mr. Seward
and stabbed him three times, infieting
ghastly wounds in his jaw, neck and
breast. In the struggle the Secretary
rolled out of bed, and was lying on the
floor in his blood when his physicians
arrived, Lis attendants being utterly
dazed by the sudden and terrible on
slaught of this ferocious man.
The only words uttered by the as
sassin during all this terrible conflict
were, "I am mad !'' and these were
uttered in strangely intense, but not
strong voice, as described by the wit
nesses at the trial. As Powell left the
dwelling of the Secretary and mount
ed his horse he slashed at the colored
man who had held bis horse, cutting
him about the face severely. He then
then threw the knife on the ground,
and, riding out Vermont avenue slow
ly for few squares, put spurs to his
horse and rode out into the darkness,
and was seen no more until he was
arrested in disguise at the house of
Mrs. Surrat, No. SAL H street N. W.,
Washington. When arrested Powell
had one of his trousers legs rolled up,
a skull cap on his head, and pickaxe
on his shoulder. He said he had come
to dig ditch for Mrs. Surrat, but she
denied any knowledge of him. He
was sent to the headquarters of Gen
eral Augur, and upon examination of
the boots he wore one of them was
found to contain the name of John
Wilkes Booth-Philadelphid Press.
