Indeed, it's rather rough
There are not men enough

'Are the maidens more lucky

Does this style of fate
Predominate, -
To rob us of our glory
In any other State

We'd like to know
To ease our woe,

AThe Assassination of Lincoln.
s. - m of the Crime of3..Wilkea
Booth, Sixteen Years ago.
The Washington morning papers of
Friday, April 14, 1865, ann,ounced
that the President and Gen- Grant
would that .evening attend the per.
Sformance of 'Our American Cousin'
%t Ford's Theatre. Gen. Grant did
not keep his engagement with the
Presidervt, but lefc-with his wife that
afternoon for Burlington. The Pres
ident, knowing that a large number
Sfriends would be present, and not
wishing to disappoint them, relue
-tantly determined to keep his engage
ment.Whenthe pafty-consisting
of the President, Mrs. Lincoln, Major
Rathbone and Miss Harris-entered
their box, the whole assemblage, hav
ing- in mind the., recent Union vic
tories, and the- return of peace, arose,
cheered, waved hats and kerchiefs,
and could scarcely be quieted, so in
tense was the enthusiasm. The box was
twelve feet above the stage. The
President took a chair at the corner
nearer the audience, Mrs. Lincoln oc
cupied a seat in the middle, and Miss
Harris the corner opposite Mr. Lin
coln. Major Rathbone was seated
behind Mrs. Lincoln. The curtain
Shad just arisen on the third act when
J. Wilkes -Booth' walked up to the
door of the box and attempted to
enter. When stopped by the atten
dant, he overpowered him with his
grand air and the words, 'I am a
SeTlator ; the President has sent for
me.' As he entered, Major Rath
bone arose. 'Are you aware, sir,' he
said edurteously, 'upon whom you are
intruding? This is the President's
box, and no one is admitted.' Booth
uttered not a word, either of explana
tion or apology. Fastening his eyes
upon Mr. Lincoln, who had half turn
ed his head tb, ascertain the cause of
the disturbance, he stepped quickly
bakwards out of the box and out of
sight, partly closing the door. Draw
ing a Derringer pistol, and taking
by means of some almost miraculous
calculation a deadly aim if it can be
so-called, he fired through the closed
door, the bullet entering the Presi
dent's brain. The naovements of the
assassin from this moment were pan
ther-like in their rapidity. Flinging
open the door he sprang into the box to
see the effect of his shot fired so blind
ly. Dropping his pistol upon the
floor be drew a bowie-knife and struck
one blow at Major Rathbone, who had
attempted to oppose him, inflicting
a severe flesh wound. Glancing once
at the lifeless foa m of the President,
as if he wished to be certain that his
work was fully done, he step-ped upon
the velvet-covered balustrade at the
front of the box, between Mrs. Lin
coin and Miss Harris, and parting
wt bohbdstefastadro
edt oethe handte laest tht draop
1 nn either side leaned to the stage
ivenged.' Another inst:.n. and he
had fled across the stage duvr, knock
icz down one mc,u who attempted to
intercept him and an actress who
accidentally came in his way. Leap
ing upon the fleet little mare held by
Sprangler in total unconsciousness of
the important part he was playing in
the great drama, the assassin rode
rapidly away unpursued. His horse's
boofs might almost have been heard
imid the silence that for a few sec
onds dwelt in the interior of the the
atre. So quickly had it all passed
that only one man in the vast au
dience understood what had happened
or what the strange interruption
meant. A scream from Mrs. Lincoln,
a call for water from Miss Harris, and
the ghastly truth broke upon all
'The President is murdered 1' The
eene that ensued was as tumultuous
and terrible as one of Dante's pictures
of hell. Women shrieked, fainted or
went into hysterics; men rushed
hither and thither, shouting, crying
for vengeance. Miss Laura Keene
:advanced to the foot lights and en
treated the audience to be calm ; then
ascending the stair to the box and
taking the dying President's head
upon her lap began bathing it with
the water she had brought. Rapidly
his clothing was stripped from his
neck and breast to find the wound,
and it was only after some moments
of vain search that the dress of Miss
Keene stained with blood revealed
where the ball had penetrated. Not
a movement betrayed consciousness
from the moment the bullet entered
the brain until life passed away, at 7
o'clock the next morning. Carefully
removing him from the theatre to a
dwelling across the street, all that
medical skill could do was done with
out avail and all through the night,
while the horror-stricken crowds out
side swept and gathered along the
:treets, while the military and police
were patroling a cordon about the
city, while men were arming and ask
Ing, 'What victim next ?' while the
telegraphs was sending the news from
=;ity to city, and while the assassin
was speeding fast away-his chosen
friends watched at his bedside the
slowly ebbing life.
The attempt to assassinate Secre
tary Seward ; the death of Booth in a
barn by a shot fired through the
closed door by Sergeant Boston Cor
bet ; the arrest, trial and conviction
by a court martial of Payne, Atzerodt,
Hiarrold and Mi-s. Surratt for 'con
s tructive treason.' the enormous re
wards offered for the arrest of Sanders,
Tucker and other leading Southerners,
wh rmptly surrendered themselves,
produced a perfect intoxication of the
public mind, and the wildest and
most absurd stories of conspiracy and
of guilt were believed even in the
highest offcial circles. ~It is only
now, after the lapse of sixteen years
that the truth has begun to crystahize
and the facts attending the assassina
tion brought together.
Common Sense About Guiteau.
From the Inter-Ocean.
There is no other created thing in
this world quite so dangerous as a fool.
When the fool has just a suffeient
modicum of brains to become crazy the
danger is doubled. When a being of
this make-up studies law, he simply
adds method to his madness ; and
when, in addition to all the rest, he be
comes possessed of some sort of a reli
gious frenzy, his capacity for mischief
complete. Such a combination of is
morai and intellectual odds and ends
is Guiteau. He has been well enough
known here in Chicago, off and on, for
these fifteen years. He was a sort
of hanger-on at the office of a very
respectable attorney here, whose
kindness he abused in every im
aginable way, until he was finally
gotten rid of, and then for a season
he professed to practice law in an
offce of his own. He had neither
brains enough to cheat people out of a
living, nor honesty enough to excuse
his want of capacity, and so he fared
but poorly in the law. He turned his
attetien to theological pursuits and
made a book. He came to under
stand all spiritual mysteries, and gave
public lectures on religious topics
or would if he. could have got an
audience together in response to his
numerous advertisements. HIe knew
all about the second coming of Jesus
Christ, and there was no hidden thing
that he could not expound. The.n he
had a mission among the newspapers,
and got up wild schemes for getting
other people to furnish money that
he nmight instruct the world through a
daily publication of his own. He
went to New York, and did manage
there to get so far into the mysteries
of journalism as to be arrested for
confiscating money collected for one
of the gaeat dailies of that city. He
took in politics as a part of tbe uni
versal affairs of mankind which need
ed his guidance, and has latterly been
a pestiferous loafer about Washington,
whom nobody ever wanted to see or
was able to get risl of. He has now
probably gratified the loftiest reach of
his ambition. He has immortalized
himself as the meanest sneak of the
nineteenth century.
There is no lesson to be learned
from such a thing as Guiteau. He is
not the fruit of despotism, nor the
fruit of republicanism. He is not a
fruit of anything ; he is simply a
worm-eaten windfall. His friends
cannot be charged with neglect of
duty, for he has never been idiotic
Ienough to be sent to an asylum for
Ithe feeble-minded, or crazy enough to
be sent to an hospital for the insane ;
and his sices have not heretofore been
vigorous enough to land him in the
penitentiary.
The fool-killer, if the world were
only blessed with such a benefactor,
wou1d have taken him in hand
evil ways. He w!s not ruined by
bad companion" nu by stron: dri:k.
He a act p..int.d at as a :bbath
breaker, .w:r as a scoffer at re:igion.
He h,s had no dowufall. .Ill that -
he ever was he continuod to be up to
the day of the assissination. He was
sim1ply an intellectual weakling witlh
out moral sense. He caine near kill
ing his own sister once, to whom he
w ::der every obligation fr ele
an~d support, but still he did not
usually manifest a murderous disposi
tiou, and was not considered an uusafe
nman to have at large.
It matters little what becomes of
Guiteau. Hanging would be a cow- .
pli:ne.t to his intelligence, and would
very likely seem to him a heroic way
of going out of the world. His pre- i
decessor in assassination, sixteen years t
ago, was shot like a dog in the street, I
and his crime was never dignified by v
a trial. If Guiteau's worthless life
had somehow been snuffed out in the
depot at Washington, Saturd ay morn
ing, it would have been taxing hu- t
man nature too much to ask any re
grets over his speedy dissolution.

A PAPER FOR TIE PEOPLE.
The Herald is in the highest respect aFam

.dvertising medium offers unrivalled ad
antages. For Terms, see first page.
That Fund. d
Several newspapers have taken
he same view that we expressed C
ast week as to the propriety of e
rs. Garfield's accepting the money
ontribution from the New York
hamber of Commerce. Other 0
>apers, however, and among them 0
ome that have been foremost in ti
,busing Gen. Grant as the great
rift-taking President, still land the li
ivers to the skies for their "noble C
.nd generous act", and can see no t
mpropriety in it. v
Abraham Lincoln was certainly p
is good a President as Garfield. d
Che South cheerfully accords to
dim the credit of having been one li
>f the best and purest men that S
,ver occupied the White House. t
he North has always looked upon o
iim with peculiar veneration and
hey honor and revere his name as y
ew men have ever been honored. a
et there has never been a fund j
-ised for Mrs. Lincoln ; and. if c
iewspaper reports are true, such a
und would be very opportune, for t
,he is in straitened circumstances. t:
To our mind there is something d
ceedingly vulgar in this offer of t
noney to Mrs. Garfield, while her j
lusband was lying at the point of j
leath, and she was overwhelmed t
vith grief. Money can be no con- 1:
olation to a refined mind at such a
L time.
The offer of $250,000 by the 5
Jhamber of Commerce has since v
;aken a wider range, and has be
onme somewhat national in its
icope, everybody being permitted
Lnd invited, at the suggestion of
;he New York Herald, to contri
>te. The Chamber of Commerce,
>efore this suggestion, had rais-ed
a
mong themselves about half the
Lrount.
Mrs. Garfield has not signified a
er accptance or refusal of the g
>ffer.
Guiteau, the President's would- v
>e assassin, is not permitted to e
injoy the extensive notoriety that I
ue has attained. He is not al
owed to see a newspaper, nor a
tewspaper reporter ; nor is he in- g
ormed as to the President's condi- E
ion. He exhibits no signs of re- v
rorse or regret for his act ; and v
hows no symptoms of insanity. ii

eading the Bible.

July 13, 1881.
Yesterday and Monday were almos
s dismal in Washington as the corres
nding days of the previous week. Ii
one way an impression bad gottel
broad that the President was rapidl;
rowing weaker, and that the case ha<
ot beyond the control of the physicians
twas known that on Monday ther<
ras an extraordinary and wholly un
xpected rise in the temperature of the
atien~t's body and the official bulletir
laced it close to the figures at whici
eath is inevitable. Tuesday mornings
ulletin reported a reduction, but unof
cial statements direct from the White
[ouse said the President was muck
reaker than at any previous time, ani
as hinaself losing hope. This morn
ig's report was encouraging, but pub.
c belief in the President's recovery, et
ong here in the latter part of the
reek, has not been restored fully. The
rtificial cooling of the President's

The objective point is reached, we
are at Hendersonville, "the land of the
skies," mountain breezes, pure water,
tender beef, juicy mutton and fat
chickeus. For proof of the latter the
reader is referred to Dr. Mayer, Sr.
And here we will tarry for a time.
The temperature is delightful, and
after the sweltering, melting heat of
the last ten or twelve days the change
is wonderfully refreshing-so sudden
the transition that it seemed like fly
iug from the
TORRID TO AN ARCTIC REGION.
A thunder shower did the business,
breaking the back, it is hoped effec
tually, of the hot wave. It might
prove interesting if some one having
nothing else to do would ascertain the
quantity of perspiration shed recently,
and make the figures public. At 4.35
Saturday morning, to get ahead of the
sun, your affectionate correspondent
and his wife left Glenn's, considerably
benefitted by the water, and reached
Spartanburg in time for breakfast at
Col. Speights' hotel, the American.
This fine, commodious hostelry is well
kept, and is a
CREDIT TO THE GROWING CITY.
Our feed was excellent, and put us both
in splendid condition for a run down
to Union to enjoy more of the hospi
tality of our friends, the Parkers.
There on Saturday night the first
breeze since leaving home was felt, we
rolled and rioted in it, and enjoyed the
shower which fell during the opera
tion. Attending the Methodist Church
Sunday morning we were most agree
ably surprised in finding so beautiful
an edifice, and so tastefully furnished
-giving evidence of a refinement and
generosity on the part of its member
ship, alike gratifying to the eye and
heart. Rev. R. D. Smart is the spir
itual head. The singing by the choir
was very fine, and the organist a fin
ished and beautiful performer. It
was an unexpected treat, church music
seldom according with our taste and
desires. We are please~d to say that
Jack J. has the honor of being a mem
ber of this superior choir, and as be
fore stated is a good boy. Here we
had the gratification of

with a charming and intelligent lady,
Mrs. Humphreys, who with exceeding
amiability and patience endured our
society on a trip through the Hickory
INut Gap to Asheville and Alexander's
on the French Broad some nine years
ago, without a murmur. It was a
pleasant trip and we would not forget
it. And now, reader, comes mention
not so pleasant, and we bid you if you
are at all given to the melting mood to
PREPARE TO SHED A FEW TEARS.
Monday morning dawned serenely, all
nature siniled, the usual amount of
life and bustle was seen inside that
pile of brick and mortar known as t.he
pUnion Hotel, but there was a skeleton
in that house, one heart bled ; alas !
how can Jt be related. At eight
o'clock we were to be sacrificed on the
altar of duty, we were to be changed
into that most melancholy of specta
cles, a poor grass widower; the sharer
of our joys and sorrows, she who had
wiped the perspiration from our brow
with one hand, and with a five cent
palmetto in the other kept off the flies
while we labored for the HERALD,
would return hosme to see if it was all
right with the little ones. It was
right though and we will not murmur,
the children must be looked after.
Our 13ss was their gain. Mr. W. C.
Parker was largely instrumental in
assuaging the deep grief with
AN "ALLEVJATOR'
most soothing and tranquilizing in its
effects and that with the hope that an
interesting widow would cross our
path and share our wretchedness,
helpe'a in a great measure to bear us
up.
A short and hot ride from Union to
Spartanburg, and a cool ride from
there in the rain, with an interesting
and sweet little mother on the left,
and bright eyed little Nellie in our
lap, we reached Hendersonville just as
twilight dews began to fall, and get
ting into an omnibus packed with
about twenty ladies and as many chil
dren, the only wale in the party, we
were driven to the hotel of wine host
Chase, who stood ready to shake hands
and give welcome. The arrival of a
New York Steamer could have created
but little more excitement than did
our 'bus as the ladies and little ones
piled out in the fast growing moon
light, and the flitting about of waiters
and chambermaids with snowy towels,
and fresh water, the lighting of lamps,
added to all, while the

and as cool as a cu'uinbL.r. ii tt;e
nrrina of the 'bus was an event, that
of ti:e b aggae ws m:uore so, tihe pile
Of tru:,t w.s b:;r::e, t he. Sizt of some
of thew larg,r, a few looking as is they
might contain a fashionable belle or
two ready to spritg out and dazzle the
mountain2 hoosiers ; alas, though there
wurc neither belles in the huge Sara
togas nor any in the party, all were
married ladies, with their nurses and
the interesting fruits of married life,
there was not even a charming youug
widow, therefore thought was conceu
trated on the supper soon to come.
But those huge, ponderous trunks,
the dread of perters and waiters, and
which poor horses groan and break
down under, why do our women per
sist in such a
KILLING FASHION.
Bergh should make an effort to put a
stop to it for the benetit of the poor
animals. Ima,iae a first cinss Mor
mon Eider with forty wives, each with
two or three Saratogas. Why travel
would be stopped, trains delayed and
no end of trouble come. Well, in due
time, the baggage all bestowed, and
every lady having gone to the bottom
of hers to see if all was right, and
waiter and chambermaid allowed to
turn to other duties, the supper bell
sounded. We wou't tell what all of
nice and good things there were lest
some old fellow might think that we
care overmuch for the flesh pots
suffice it there was abundance and
variety, while the irrepressible c. fry
prevailed largely, and full justice was
done to the feast. These mountain
landlords know how to feed and have
a fellow-feeling for their low country
brothers. The town is not yet as full
as it will be or has been, and yet every
house seems to have as many as it can
conveniently bold, still as the crowd
increases it is stowed away to the best
advantage, and the happy landlord
rubs his hands and
SAYS LET 'EM COME,
while he counts up the gains. Last
night furnished a lively picture, thir
ty-two men, women and children
sought shelter of Chase and fortunate
ly found it. It was hard work though
and the night was far advanced before
the swarm was hived-on this occasion
the trunks outnumbered the party.
How it was at the other houses we
know not, but suppose it was about
the same, the train bringing an unu
sual number of seekers of cool air.
Friend Dodarnead keeps a capital
house and is full; he is as happy as
the day is long. Hack drivers-and
there is a legion of them-are doing a
driving business, and will take you to
Cosar's Head, Buck Forest, Asheville
or any point desired for a cash con
sideration-the arrival of the ears and
the departure of stages and hacks
form the great features of the day.
There always was and will ever be a
certain charm about the stage coach
and its prancing horses, (they always
start out with the finest and after a
few miles put in sorry backs,) but the
orn, the mellow, winding horn is no
longer heard, and the driver is not the
lively fellow of old-there are no
Wellers now. One of the big insti
tutions of Hlendersonville is
PELHAM'S BIG DRUG STORE.
It is larger than its parent in New
berry, and Dr. Sam. is justly proud of
what he has done. He is a hard
worker and he shows great energy in
building up such a business. It is
not strange that his success has stirred
up opposition, and soon there will be
another house of the same kind. An.
other nice shower yesterday accompa
nied with much thunder an.d light
ung, and in consequence the atmos
phere continues delicious, it being cool
enough last night for thick coats.
Bub enough for the present.
