THE SLAYER OF BOOTH.
Corbett's Story of the Killing oS
 MT. Lincoln's Assassin.
A Man Who, Knew Boston Corbett Tells of His Habits and Manners-Tho Story Told by the "Avenger" in
 Letter Written in 1887.

The writer Ca contributor to the North Amerlcan Review) has personal acquaint- ance with Boston Corbett, who avenged the death of President Lincoln in so tragical manner on the night of April 26, 1865.
 During the year 1875, while attending a soldiers reunion of Blue and Gray at Cald- well, O., first met MT. Corbett. The town was small and an immense crowd had gath cred, General Sherman, among others, be- ing present. Corbett and I were assigned to the same room for the night. I found him 8 nervous, excitable man, always the center of attraction, with 8 keen, but wild look in his eyes, and an interminable rest lessness of body and limb. He was then preacher, regularly ordained, I think. He lead prayer-meeting in the village church while there. He was always well armed, in self-defense, as he explained, and his ex- perience while at Caldwell showed that he had some reason to fear violence. He got into an exciting argument with several men one afternoon over the question as to whether Booth had really been killed at all. Hot words ensued, rush was made to- wards Corbett, and in an instant the gleam- ing barrel of his revolver flashed in the faces of his opponents. It was with consid- erable difficulty that they were separated and peace restored.
 Corbett claimed to those of us whom he
 
 bounded for years by men who were high in authority at Washington at the time of the assassination, and that they caused him to lose several important positions after he went into civil life, and had refused to shake hands with him or to answer his salutation on the streets. The only reason he assigned for this was that his bullet had deprived the Washington authorities of an opportuni- ty to make grand display in the execution of Booth.
 Early in the year 1887, and while he was in the State House at Topeka, sent note to Corbett asking him to write me an account of the capture and death of Booth, which he did. A copy of his reply is given herewith have every reason to think MT. Corbett's memory was in fair condition when he wrote the article, and it may safely be accepted as 0 correct narration of the incidents of dark hour in the Nations history.

The Life of the Age.

The Rev. Mr.. Grove, of Newark,
attracted attention to himself yester-
day by preaching a sermon against
the proposed S., 900, 900 Protestant
Episcopal Cathedral in New York
CITY. He objects to it because he
thinks it does not represent the life OF
the age. This of living in an
overgrown village like Newark. Had
he lived in a large city, his ideas
would have been broader and he
would have seen that, among church
going people at least, religion is the
life of this and all other ages. The
Rev. Mr.. Grove seems to have been
inoculated with the doctrines Of the
Rev. Col. Bob Ingersoll.
The Rev. DR.. Grove is equally in
error when he supposes that the Capt.
tol at Washington, which he says cost
49, 05, 900, represents the life OF the
age. The fact is that it is extremely
doubtful whether ten times $4,000, 900
would suffice to erect such a structure
according to the methods of the gen
GRAFTON. 1t is certain that it would
never be finished a long as there
was a possibility of squeezing another
contract out of it. Then,
parts of such an edifice would be con
stantly tumbling down. If the Rev.
Mr.. Grove wants to see what the pres
ent generation is capable of, let him
buy a ticket to Albany, and inspect
the Capitol there, which has already
cost o than twice $500, 900, and is a
splendid illustration of the aims and
purposes Of the Republican Party of
today.

From the Elizabeth Journal. Republica

From the Elisabeth Journal. Republican.
What we do not struggle for we lose
with absolute certainty. What we do
struggle for we stand a chance OF
gaining. The only right way in this
coming campaign is to fight for every
thing on the ticket, from Governor
down. 1t is not over hopeful 60 be-
lieve that the Republican party can
carry everything, for the people are
with us. 1t is not exaggeration to say
that if the election were held today
the State of New Jersey could be
carried for local option and high
license by 10000 majority or up
wards. What should cut down that
majority by next November? The Re-
publican opportunity is at hand. What
is now to be done is to select the best
mar possible for the standard bearer
of the party. The right candidate for
Governor will inspire the whole ticket.
And then in every Assembly district
make the fight on the local option
issue with the best men that can be
put forward. This course, strength
ened by thorough organization in
every ward and school district in the
State, will bring a Republican victory
as surely as the sun will rise on cleo
ton day.

A Pair Of TwIns Excite Pekln.

From the San francisco CHfonfcte.
The Chinese have a custom that
when a woman gives birth to a triplet
she must report the matter to the
authorities, and they on their part
will present her with three little coats,
one red, one yellow and n green.
These coats she must put on the in
fants in the dark, and the ones who
will get the red and yellow coats will
be exalted, while the one with the
green coat will be ignoble. Such
events are, however, of the rarest oc-
currence, and are regarded as marvels
of nature. The other day a ease still
more wonderful occurred in Pekin,
where a woman gave birth to a pair of
twins. The family lives in a village
west of Chang vi Gate, and is sur
named Yang. Last spring Yang had
his son married, and a week ago, to
the great establishment of the house
hold, the wife gave birth to a pair of
twins. The mother-in-law, fearing de-
ficient n~ourishment, decided to keep
the two boys and cast away the girls,
which was done, but a neighbor, out
of compassion, picked them up and
took them home. The affair has ere
ated much gossip in the capital.

That Infamous rioket-of-1eave Law.


The new law, which provides that
the keeper of the State Prison, who is
an appointee of the Governor, and
the prison inspectors, who are also APP
pointees of the Governor, shall have
power to establish rules and regula-
lions under which convicts in the
State Prison, who are serving SEN
fences for offences outside the more
fragrant classes of crime, may leave
the prison ION parolen after having
served half their time providing it is
for a first offence, is exciting much
discussion. Although the law reads
that prisoners ''now or hereafter
serving time may be thus released, a
question has arisen as to whether its
effect can be retroactive. If it can it
will probably let out Carrot S.
Boice, ex-President of the Peoples
Bank of Jersey City, who was sem
fenced in 1888 to ten years imprison-
ment, and whose time is already
verging to an end; Arthur Oglesby, of
the New Brunswick Saving Fund;
William A. Hall, chief clerk of the
went in in 1884 for twelve years;
Wlllldlu AldSuS, VI tlilS Cloy, dAld
Alexander Way, of New Brunswick,
both embezzlers, and a number of
other forgers and embezzlers who +
in for first offences. 1t is said that
Governor Green holds that the law
can affect only those who may here
after be imprisoned. Other good
lawyers hold the contrary, and it is
probable that this question will
have to be decided by the high
est authority before the new
law can become operative
for the benefit of the man or men for
whom it was framed, for it is generally
conceded that the law was especially
framed for the benefit of some criminal
now undergoing punishment, which is
surmised to be a Jersey City man. II
this is the case it is quite probable
that the effort will miscarry, and in
future cases it is quite as probable
that every Judge in the State will take
under consideration the action of the
parole law and will make his sentences
long enough to ensure adequate pun
ishment for the crime committed. The
Judges are very jealous of their pre-
negative and do not relish the idea oil
having the Legislature practically al
ter their sentences.

A sermon on Politics.

The Rev. Mr.. Krantz preached aser-
mon at the Centenary Methodlst
Church last evening, before members
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
which was as timely as the sermon
preached by Bishop Potter before
President Harrison. He spoke OF
present abuses of politics and their
cause. What he said has been said
before. Even practical politicians
agree with him in regard to the. source
of these evils, namely, the neglect OF
the best citizens to take an active part
in politics and in some cases their re-
fusal to accept public responsibilities,
or be candidates for office.
This is a very good text for pastors
to preach from. Most pastors prefer
to avoid such topics, however. They
are afraid that they will be OF
introducing politics into the pulpit
and for that reason, the subject OF the
| duties of members of churches as clt1-
zens is rarely introduced except on
special occasions. Nevertheless, it has
often been demonstrated that the sub
iect can be so handled as to meet the
approval of the public at large.
MI. Krantz might make the expert
ment of preaching another such SER
mon just before the campaign opens.
1t would be interesting to see what
effect it would have in the way OF
arousing his hearers to sense OF tnelf
duties. If he could make them work
at the primaries, in the conventions
and at the polls, he would accomplish
a work of great public benefit, But
| it is to be feared that he would fall
to overcome the apathy which
keeps them away now. They are not
willing to give to politics a little OF
the time now occupied by business,
and they, therefore, abandon politics
to men who make a business OF it and
content themselves with lamentlng
the d~egeneracy and corruption OF the
times.

The Issue in the Next Election.

From the Nelcdfk journal.
The control of the federal patronage
in New Jersey is a bagatelle compared
to that of the State patronage under
the Governor to be elected next fall,
but one is necessary to the other. By
debating the federal appointments ex-
Senator Sewell will strengthen his
power in State politics and secure a
potent factor to aid his party in the
campaign.
The Republican State Convention
will be a Sewell convention, and the
candidate nominated will be desig-
mated and named by Sewell. If
elected next November the candidate
SO elected will be guided by his polit-
ical creator in all his appointments to
office, and probably also in all his inn
portant executive acts.
1t goes without saying that the peo-
pie OF New Jersey would contemplate
with grave concern the appointment

Such a thing would be absolutely
unique in the history of our State
government. 1t would be without a
parallel in the politics of any State OF
the Union. 1t is not to be thought OF
in our generation. 1t is the paramount
issue in the coming State election.
