Booth was shot by Boston Corbett and
his body taken to the Washington
arsenal. And one night VIII n ] was
on guard about 3 or four o'clock in
the morning, on the dock, saw
naval vessel come abreast of the arsenal
and appeared as if she was atire with
blue and red lights and throwing signal
rockets; and then a large ships boat
came to the dock, and | challenged
them and got the counters1gn and
passed them. They went into the
arsenal and brought out Booths body
and took it in the ships boat, and the
boat took it to the ship, and then the
ship returned in week, and | asked
one of the sailors and he said they

Gem. Grant,s Accllent At ShIIoh.

From General Grants account Of
the battle of Shilo, in the Century, we
quote the following In fact. on Fri
day, the 4th, l was very much injured
by my horse falling with me and on
me while was trying to get to the
front where firing had been heard.
The night was one of impenetrable
darkness, with rain pouring down in
torrents; nothing was visible TO the
eye except as revealed by the frequent
flashes of lightning Under these cir

had not gone far, however, when |
met General w. II. l.. Wallace and
General (than ColoneD Mcpherson
coming from the direction of the front.
They said all was quiet 50 far as the
enemy was concerned. On the way
back to the boat my horses feet slipped
from under him, and he fell with my
leg under his body The extreme
softness of the ground, from the ex-
cessiye rains Of the few preceding
days no doubt saved me from a severe
injury and protracted Iameness As
it was, my ankle was very much in
iured so much 50, that my boot had
to be cut off. During the battle, and
for two or three days after, | was IN
able to walk except with crutches.

during the night rain fell in tor

the storm without shelter. made my
headquarters under tree a few hun
dred yards back from the river bank
My ankle was 50 much swollen from
the fall of my horse the Friday night
preceding, and the bruise was so pain
full, that ! could get no rest. The
drenching rain would have precludel
the possibility of sleep without this
additional cause. Some time after
midnight. growing restive under the
storm and the continuous pain, Imoyed
back to the log-house on the bank.
This had been taken as an hospital,
and all night wounded men were be
ing brought in, their wounds dressed,
a leg or an arm amputated, as the case
nigh trequire, and everything being
done to save life or alleviate suffering.
The sight was more uncomfortable than
encountering the rebel fire, and re-

Where We Taste the Disgusting.

The third and lowest part of the
tongue and throat is the seat of those
peculiar tastes to which Prof Balm, the
great authority upon this important
philosophical subject has given the
names of relishes and disgusts. 1t is
here chiefly that we taste animal food,
fats, buffers, oils, and the richer class
of vegetables and made dishes If we
like them we experience a sensation
which may be called a relish, and
which induces one to keep rolling the
morsel further down the throat till it
passes at last beyond the region OF
our voluntary control. If we don't
them, we get the sensation which may
be called disgust, and which is very
different from the mere unpleasantness
of excessively pungent or bitter things.
1t is far less of an intellectual feeling.
We say. and say rightly, of such things
that we find it hard to swallow them;
a something within us (of a very tan
glble nature) seems to rise up bodily
and protest against them. As very
good example or this experience take
ones first attempt to swallow cod-llyer
oil Other things may be unpleasant
or unpalatable, but things Of this c.as'
are in the strictest sense nasty and dis
gusting. --CelRltH Magazine.

ing about them The country is as
large as the whole of the United States
east of the Mississippi, but has no
regular method of communication, and
practically hardly any means of any
except by boats, and the first demand
seems to be for mail routes. The oper-
ations Of government are now confined
entirely to Sitka, because the other
towns cannot be reached. A semi
monthly mail route will be asked for
TO Port Townsend and a monthly one
to Onnalaska, settlement l,200 miles
from Sitka, which is a judicial district
with resident Commissioner and
Deputy Marshal The governor is full
of stories and enthusiasm about mines
and wealth in his Arctic bailiwlck.
The prospects of proposed route
from the Canadian Northwest to Eu-
rope via Iludson's Bay are not consid-
cred encouraging A diary for August
shows that ice prevailed in the straits
for Gineteen days ont of the thirty
one, and that snow-storms prevailed on
five other days As the straits ought
to be open during August. the outlook
for the other months can not be bright.
J. w. Klatze, a Dominion government
official, who was sent to inquire into
the feasibility Of constructing rail-
way from Winnipeg to IIudson's Bay,
has returned to Ottawa lie does not
speak fayoraDly Of the ultimate sue
cess of the undertaking, and thinks. if
j it is ever accomplished, it win be at a
/ price which few capitalists would care
to pay. Putting the difficulties of the
navigation Of the straits and the almost
insurmountable barriers in the way of
constructing railroad to the bay
together, the outlook for northwest
settlers having direct communication
by this route with Europe IS not at all
/ hopeful.

A Dream OF Home.

The suns rays slant the path along,
The air is tnlny as in Juno,
The robin sings his evening song,
And through the sky the new, gray moou
Moves calmly on, untram cled, free,
But something whispers unto me
"Notyet!"
The brook sings as it gently flows,
The frog croaks by the waters rim;
There in content the lily grows,
And there tho fishes, darting, swim;
helr and see the Oh brown mill.
But, ah' these sid words haunt me still
"Not YETI
In clover meadows broad and fair,
In drowsy mood the cows await
The iarm-boy's call upon the air,
While, with hispail beside the gate
Which opens down the grassy one,
My brother brcathos these words Of pain
"Not YETI
The stecpled-church the schoolhouse near,
The wood where have roamed Mt viii,
The quaint, old f,rl housc, to me dear,
Nv youthful hone-my manhoods still
l see these as in days gone by,
But something whispers (os | sgh)-
"Not yeti"
o Hearts, in whom there is no May.
Who ycan to hear my footballs where
The path, SO beaten, winds its way
Under oil trees so grand and fair'-
Dear Hearts, who long for me TO como

"Not yet"
For longer, still, your breass must know
a sadness free from all disguise,
Ere can leave these scenes and go
And look into bright, Living eyes,
And clasp the hands so warm, and IS
The lips I've pressed so oft in bliss.
Not yet
Forgotten. but rs sweet and strong
AS when one dreamiul Autumn day
said "Good-by" and passed along
Down the old walk, and went away,
Not thinking there would come a day
