Wilkes Booth in Hiding.

An important feature of the April
Century is George Alfred Townsend's
account of "How Wilkes Booth crossed
the Potomac There is q gap in the
history of Wilkes Booths crime, be-
tween his disappearance in the pines
of southeastern Maryland and his re-
appearance in Virginia, where he was
killed, and this article (the information
of which was supplied by Thomas A.
Jones, an actor in the escape) it is be-
ieved closes this gap. Jones first en-
counter with the fugitives is described
as follows: Booth and Herold were
sent into the short pines, and there
Jones found them. He says that as he
was advancing into the pines he came
upon a bay mare, with black legs,
forehead; she was saddled, and rowing
around in little cleared place as if
she was trying to nibble something
to eat. Jones took the mare and tied
her to tree or stump. He then adj
vanced and gave what he calls the
countersign, or whistle, which he does
not precisely remember now, though
he thinks it was two whistles in Pc
culiar way, and whistle after an in
terval. The first person he saw was
Herold, fully armed, and with car
bine in his hand, coming out to see who
it was. Jones explained that he had
been sent to see them, and was then
taken to Booth, who was but few
yards farther along.
"Booth was lying on the ground,
wrapped up in blankets, with his foot
supported and bandaged, and crutch
behind him. His rumpled dress looked
respectable for that country, and Jones
says it was of black cloth. His face
was pale at all times, and never ceased
to be so during the several days that
Jones saw him. He was in great pain
from his broken ankle, which had suf-
fered fracture of one of the two bones
in the leg, down close to the foot. 1t
would not have given him any very
great pain but for the exertion of his
escape, which irritated it by scraping
the ends of the broken bone perhaps in
the flesh; it was now highly irritated,
and whichever way the man moved he
expressed by twitch or o groan the
pain he felt. Jones says this pain was
more or less continuous, and was great
ly aggravated by the peril Of Booths

ituation-unable to cross the river
without assistance, and unable to walk
any distance whatever. Jones believes
that Booth did not rise from the ground
at any time until he was finally put on
Jones' horse to be taken to the water
side some days afterward.
Booths first solicitude seemed to
be to learn what mankind thought of
the crime. That question he put al
most Immediately to Jones, and con-
tinued to ask what different classes of
people thought about it. Jones told
him that it was gratifying news to most
of the men of Southern sympathies. He
frankly says that he himself at first re-
garded as good news, but some what
later, when he saw the injurious conse-
quences of the crime to the South, he
changed his mind. Booth desired news
papers if they could be had, which
would convey to him an idea of public
feeling. Jones soon obtained newspa-
pers for him, and continued to send
them in; and Booth lay there, where
the pines were SO thick that one could
not see more than thirty or forty feet
into them, reading what the world had
to say about his case. He seemed never
tired of information on this one subject
and the only thing besides he was So
licitous about was to get across the
river into Virginia.
"Jones says Booth admitted that he
was the man who killed Lincoln, and
expressed no regret for the act, know
ING all the consequences it involved.
He harped again and again upon the
necessity of his crossing the river. He
said if he could only get to Virginia he
could have medical attendance. Jones
told him frankly that he would receive
no medical attendance in Maryland.
Said he: The country is full of SOL
diers, and all that l can do for you is
to get you off, if can, for Cox's pro-
lection and my own, and for your OWE
safety. That I will do for you if there
is any way in the world to do it.
"When l received this account from
Mr.. Jones, asked him question aftel
question to see if l could extract any
| Information as to what Booth in
uuired about while in that wilderness
asked if he spoke of his mother, o
where he was going when he reached
Virginia, of whether he meant to &C
on the stage again; whether he blamed
himself for jumping from the theate1
box; whether he expressed any appre
tensions for Mrs. Surratt or his friends
in Washington. To these and to man!
other questions Jones uniformly re
piled: No, he did not speak about any
of those things. He wanted food, ant
to cross the river, and to know wha
was said about the deed Booth, b.
thinks, wore slouched hat. At frs
meeting Booth in the pines, he PROVED
himself to be the assassin by showing
upon his wrist, in India ink, the initial
j. w. B. He showed the same to Cap
tain Jett in Virginia. Jones says Boot
was determined man-not boasting
but one who would have sold his lif
dear. He said he would not be takel
alive"

Let's oftener talk Of noble deeds,
And rarer of the bad days,
And sing about our happy ones,
And none about the sad ones.
We were not made to fret and sigh,
And when grief sleeps to wake it;
Bright happiness is standing by
This life is what we make it.
Let's find the sunny side of men,
Or DO believers in it.;
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains TO win it.
Oh! there's slumbering good in all,
Andwe perchance may wake it,;
Our hands contain the magic wand
This life is what we make it.
Then here's to those whose loving heart'
Shed light and joy about them!
Thanks be to them for countless gems
We meier had known without them.

To all who may partake it;

it's surplus wealth? It cannot eat
more wheat, you say, it can wear bet
ter clothes, and live in better houses,
and have more comforts and luxuries.
but it cannot eat more bread. And
consequently the farmer with his i'm
proved facilities, can very easily over
stock the market, and leave himself
no profit, and no adequate compensa-
ton for his skill and lobor. There is
no truth in this idea. An intelligent
man does not want to live by bread
alone. We think more, work harder,
and want better, more nutritious, and
more easily digested food. We want
more beef, mutton, lamb, veal, pork,
butter, cheese and milk. We are
searching the world over for these
PREDICTS of the farm. There is no
article of commerce, trade or manufac-
ture, that is more needed, or IS in
greater demand than good meat. And
the more intelligent, skillful, indus
trious and wealthy the world becomes,
the more meat will it want, I was
going to say, need, and I believe it,
but will not insist on this point. It
is certain, however, that the demand
for meat is steadily increasing, and
the price advancing. 1t is a costly
article. Ten pounds of gluten in bread
or legumin in peas and beans, or vege-
table albumen in grass, will rarely
give us over one pound of fibrine or
albumen in beef or mutton. Animals
are expensive machines which have
to be kept running night and day, and
it will require all our skill, experience
and science in breeding and feeding,
to produce the meat which the world
will eat. A densely settled country
like China, is necessarily filled with a
vegetable-eating, and not meat-eat-
ing people. If India, Russia, Austria
liza, California, and our new lands in
the Northwest, furnish the world
with cheap bread, the world will have
more money to expend in meat, and
will be able and willing to pay good
prices for it. A year ago the Queen of
England, owing to the scarcity and
high price of mutton, thought she
would do all she could to stop the
killing of sheep before they had got
their full growth, and ordered that no
lamb be eaten in her household. Poor
Queen her intentions were good; but
it is not the scarcity of sheep that is
the trouble, but the scarcity and cost
of food that is required to raise and
fatten them. Then why talk about
over-production? IF grass, hay, corn,
oats, barley and wheat are too cheap,
sooner or later they will be converted
into beef, and mutton, pork, and the
good Queen can have her roast leg of
lamb, and mint sauce, without n.y.

Gen. Logan is neither weak nor an
uncultivated man, but is worthy of
the exalted position for which he has
been nominated. It is to his credit
that he has grown remarkably in
strength and knowledge since he left
the army as one of it's bravest and

his credit that he has grown as far as
possible away from the bourbon
Democracy which he now so power

business he is as safe among cowboys

can really give the cowboy points on
matters of danger, and then get away

A writer on the subject ofthe farmer
says that mutton and lamb of his
own raising should be so common on
his table as to make unnecessary the
continued use of sailed meat, or of
the weekly or almost daily visits of
the butchers cart. Fresh fruit and
vegetables, bread of wheat, rye or
Indian corn, sweet butter and fresh
eggs, with nice bit of lamb or NUT
ton, make up most appetizing bill of
fare.
