J. Wilkes Booths Family.

BosToN, Dec. IA rumOr, credi
ted TO the author of book recently
printed at Brming ham, Ala, was
widely circu ated not long ago to the
effect that John Wilkes Booth the
assassin of President Lincoln, was
still alive. A gentleman of this city,
who is well acquainted with the wild
Ow of Booth, wrote 20 her, enclosing
the newspaper paragraph. His let
ter brought the following touching
reply;
IAN item in the Boston Herald has
just come to my notice of some man,
unknown, in Birmingham, Ma, who
has desire to Tesurrect John Wilkes
Booth. Whoever this man may be,
let me warn the public that his only
motive must be to make money, for,
so sure as the sun shines in the heaV-
ems, so sure is John Wilkes Booth
dead. 1, myself, saw him buried,
saw and examined his body before it
was laid in its final resting place. He
carried marks upon his body known
only to his family and intimate
friends, and these marks were iden.
tilted by his family. We all know
that the last act of his life was wrong.
We also know that we should not
i,,,lrra NUn thn univ
wherefore, but it is my opinion that
those of us who live long enough will
yet learn that, although it was John
Wilkes Booths hand that struck the
fatal blow that ended a good mans
life, yet it was those in high author
ity who were the head Of a diabOlical
conspiracy, the result of which steep
ed several families in the deepest Of
woe and left a nation to mourn"
Although not generally known, J.
w. Booth left faniIy-a wife and
two children, a daughter and son,
now grown to wOmanhOod and man.
hood. This family has lived in seclu-
sion, and under false pane for
twenty years. For these innocent
ones sakes let their dead alone, and
let them sorrow in peace. | beg for
the sake of the Booth family, now
mourning oyer the death of the
mother of J. Wilkes Booth, that the
public will show some little charity,
and leave the wrongs that some one
has done in the hands Of Il higher
power, who, in His own good time,
will make all things right. Let the
dead rest for the sake of the living
and the innocent.

The Tramps.

The outlook for large crop of
tramps this winter is very promis-
ing. A number of them are accom-
m0dated with lodgings every night
at the statl0n-houses. The cold
weather last night drove many of
them in. 1t was not good night to
sleep out.
The tramp, when he enters the sta
ton to ask for lodging, is an humble
looking individual. He hardly ever
fails to wipe his feet when he enters
the door, and never fails to take off
his hat. His gait from the door to
the captains desk is slow and his re-
quest is made known in a begging
tone of voice.
When he gets upstairs, however,
and meets more of his species his
manner changes and he will often
sing and sometimes dance until or
dered to stop. A number of them
are often nut in one room, and when
the rooms are full the unoccupied
cells are assigned them, A tramp
does not like this latter arrangement.
He has a horror of cell.
Last night one who applied for
lodging at the Southern station, on
being assigned to a cell. said he was
much obliged but he would prefer to
walk the streets, and went out.
In the rooms they frequently hold
experience meetings and tell of their
adventures during the day past and
how they managed to beat somebody
out of meal or drink of whiskey.
They will not ask for lodging until
every scheme for obtaining drink
has been tried. They are not teeto-
taIers, and will drink anything that
contains alcohol. One of the chief
topics of talk among them is their
hair. breadth escapes from having had
to work for a meal. A few nights
ago two fOrlorn. looking specimens
crept in the Southern station, and on
being put up stairs Strengthened up
and began a regular hoe-down, and
one of them broke out into song,
which began:
We are royal buns and live like Turks,
And confound the man who works.
The tramp has a particular horror
of an ak and a wood pile, and he
never applies for food at country
house where there is a wood pile.
They usually travel in pairs, hut they
have many acquaintance among the
fraternity, and they keep each other
posted as to where they will receive
good or bad treatment. They have
the utmost contempt of one of their
number who is caught doing any
work, and will cut his acquaintance
Immediately. Notwithstanding the
efforts made to break up the frater.
nifty the number seems to be increas-
ing every day.-BditO. Times.
