Soon after the iamentable tragedy in which
John Wilkes Booth figured 50 isnominious-
ly, Edwin, his brother, abandoned the stage,
ana, as he thought, forever. His retirement,
ne reasoned, WAS demanded 10y common de
cency, aud II took him but a moment 10 de-
eide what course he should pursue.
For months Edwin remained immoy able
III ms resolNe' Al last, however, he was pre-
Nhieu upon To play q short engagement At
lhe W inter Earden, in New York city. This
was III lSoo-a year alter the assassination OF
Tue president The announcement that Booth
would reappear upon the stage excited much
comment There were those who bitterly
criticised the tragedian for what they called
his tad taste, while others, and there were a
sooN many OF them, too, halls the news with
unconcealed manifestations of 10Y. Among
the former class was the editor OF the New
YORK neratd, who hlled his paper with the
most yitriolic attacks on the tragedisn.
When the opening night came Booth was
sorely Perplexed. He knew not whether he
was TO appear before enemies or friends. The
venture was clothed with ~ much uncertain
" that the tragedian doubted his success,
and II was with many misgivings that he
went TO the theatre and began to dress for

doubt When thecurtain rolled up for the

packed To the doors, aud learned stterward
that hundreds were unable 10 gain admts

| Despite his makeup, the trsgedian showed

moved restlessly, there was slight move

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.

In a recent conversation with
Mr.. Ruffin Vaughn, the proprietor
of the Novelty works, who is not
only a skilled architect and artisan
but a careful and observant farmer,
while discussing the ravages caused
among hogs by the cholera, he
gave us a piece of information de-
rived from his experience which is
of such interest to the stock-breeder
as to justify publication.
For years he had noticed that
with the beginning Of rainy sea-
sons in late summer, say the latter
part Of August, a very noxious
species Of mushroom springs up,
which the hogs greedily devour,
and Of which they speedily die,
with all the symptoms of cholera.
He has repeatedly examined ami
mails after death, and has invariably
found their stomachs charged with
this poisonous mushroom.
Mr.. Vaughn's plan has been to
confine his hogs, during the above
mentioned season, in an enclosed
lot Or pasture, giving them a little
powdered sulphur with their food at
stated intervals. His hogs thrive,
and the cholera no longer causes
havoc in his pen.-FdyetteviWe Ga
