that when j. Wilkes Booth was shot
tho picture OF a beautiful young lady.
a reigning society belle, was found on
bis person. The original Of tho pos-
trait was recognized in the person cf
Miss Hale. the daughter Of leading
politician statesman and a lady Of
whom Booth hail become deeply and
seriously enamored What encour-
agement he had received was MT pre-
ciscly known. but, there was enough
between them to form the basis of a
good many romances which aftcrwards
appeared in the pnblic press. Miss
Hale aiterward became Mrs. Chandler
and is now the wife Of the Secretary
Of the Navy. The same whrligig Of
timc which has broaght this about
has also made tho then young son Of
msriyred Lincoln Secretary of War.
It now appears that, according TO the
official etiquette, 1t is The duty Of the
Secretary OF War to escort the wssc Of

A ROmnanu Of the small Pox.

1t seems that those who took an act
i've part as nurses of small pox patients
or visitors Of infected houses during the
prevalence Of the epidemic in this city,
are never to get rid OF the odium that
Is supposed to attach to them. Rev,
James G. Holland, colored man who
was employed by the Board of Health
to visit houses where they had the dis.
ease and attend to their wants, is una
BILE to procure emp oyment of any kind,
aud isin necessitious circumstances.
Charles Fisher, vino had charge OF the
Small Pox Hospital, has also hal ard
time oft, and after having been kept
for some time by the Trustees of the
Poor, took his family and left town, and
one night this week endeavored 70 have
his goods shipped by Warner'slin of
packets, but it was found out who they
belonged to and Immediately they were
sent back to the small pox hospital, and
Holland called in to disinfect the
wharf. There is something wrong In
this whole matter these men served
the city at a time, and in a capacity,
when it was difficult matter to get
any one to perform these repugnant but
necessary duties, and something should
be done for their relief.
