An tninfMtlnc
fmtare of the April
Century k George Alfred Towneend’e
eeooant of "How Wilke* Booth orowed
the Potomac.” There la a gap in the
hkhxy of Wilke* Booth’s crime, be
tween bis disappearance in the pmcs of
scath-easteru Maryland and his re-ap
pearance in Virginia, where he was
killed, and this article (the information
of which was supplied by Thomas A
Jones, an actor in the escape), it is to-
lie red doses this gap. Jones's first en
counter with the fugitives is described
as follows: "Booth and Herold were
sent into the short pines, and there
Jones found them. Ho saya that as be
was advancing into the pines he came
upon a bay mare, with black logs, mane,
and tale, and a white star on the fore
head; she was saddled, and roving
around in a little cleared place as if try
ing to nibble something to eat Jones
took the mare and tied her to a tree or
■tump. He then advanced and gave
what he oalla the countersign, or whistle,
which he does not precisely remember
now, though he thinks it was two
whistles iu a peculiar way, and a whistle
after an interval. The first person he
saw wss Herold, fully armed, with a car
bine in his hand, oiming out to see who
it was. Jones explained that he had
been sent to see them, and wus then
taken to Booth, who was but a few rods
furtber along.
"Booth was lying on the ground,
wrapped up in blankets, with his foot
supported and bandaged, and a unitch
beside him. Bis rumpled dress looked
respectable for that country, and Jones
saya it was of black cloth. His face
was pale at all times, and never censed
to be so during the several days that
Jones saw him. He was in great pain
from his broken ankle, which had suf
fered a fracture of one or two l>onos in
the leg, down close to the foot. It
would not have given him any great
pain but for the exertion of his escape,
which irritated it by scraping thle ends
of the broken bone perba|>s iu the flesh;
it was now highly irritated, and which
ever way the man moved ho expressed
by a twitch or a groan the pain he felt.
Jones says that this pain was more or
lesa continuous, and was greatly aggra
vated by the peril of Booth’s situation
—unable to cross the river without as-
aistanoe, and unable to walk any dis
tance whatever. Jones believes that
Booth did not rise from the ground at
any time until he was finally put on
Jones's horse to be token to the water-
aide some days afterward.
“Booth’s first solicitude seemed to l>o
to learn what mankind thought of the
crime. That question he put almost im-
mediately to Jones, and continued to ask
what different classes of people thought
about it. Jones told him that it was
gratifying news to most of the men of
Southern sympathies. He frankly said
that he himself at first regarded it os
good news; but somewhat later, when he
saw the injurions consequences of the
crime to the South, ho changed his
mind. Booth desired newspapers if they
could be had, which would convey to
him an idea of public feeling. Jones
soon obtained newspapers for him, and
continued to send them in; nnd Booth
lay there, whore the pine* were so thick
that one could not see more than thirty
or forty feet into them, reading what the
world had to say about hU case. He
seemed sever tired of information'on
this one subject, and the only thing ho-<
sides he was solicitous about was to get
serosa the river to Virginia.
"Jones says Booth admitted that ho
was the man who killed Lincoln, and
expressed no regret for the act, knowing
all the consequence it involved. Ho
said if he could only get to Virginia ho
could have medical attendance. Jones
(old him frankly that he would receive
no medical attendance iu Maryland,
h vid he: ’The country is full of soldiers,
and all that I can do for you is to get
you off, if I can, for Cox’s protection and
my own, ard for your own safety. That
I will do for you, if there is any way in
the world to do it’
"When I received this account from
Mr. Jones, I asked him question after
question to see if I could extract any in
formation as to what Booth inquired
about while in that wilderness. I asked
if he spoke of his mother, of where he
was going when ho reached Virginia, of
.whether he meant to not on tho stage
again; whether he blamed himself for
jumping from tho theatre box; whether
he expressed any apprehension.for Mrs.
Surratt or any of his friends iu Wash
ington. To these and to many, other
questions Jones uniformly replied: ‘No,
be did not speak about any of those
things. He wanted food, and to oross
the river, snd to know what wo* said
about the deed.’ Booth, he thinks,
wore s slouched hat. At first meeting
Booth in the pines, he proved himself to
bribe assassin by showing upon his
wria^ far India ink, the initials J. W. B.
He showed the same to Captain Jett in
Virginia. Jones says Booth was a de
termined man—not boasting, but one
who would have sold bis life dear. He
said be would not be taken alive. ”

Among the dead of th* Jeannetta,
brought home to find a resting place,
was Dr. James M. Ambler. Melville,
when asked by the court whom of the
expedition be would specially oommend
for hit behavior, promptly replied: "Dr,
Ambler,” and ho was unstinted in his
praise of him. During the famous re
treat over the ioe Ambler was one of the
leading spirits.* He harnessed two half-
starved Esquimaux dogs to s sled of hie
own contriving, on which were lashed tho
surgical instruments, medical stores and
scientific records; and leaving them to
follow in the rear with the sick, the doc
tor took his place in advance day after
day, as chief of the rosdmsksrs. He
wielded a heavy sledge hammer like a
Hercules, breaking down ioe hummocks
to level a road for the boats. , It was re
lated of him that he invariably, when the
day’s work began, took up the heaviest
of the sledges, thus setting an encour
aging example to the men. We see him
laying this down for a moment to per
form aa iridectomy, one of the most
delicate operations in eye surgery. Alter
De Long's bests had reached the Isena
Delta, and failing to find suoocr for three
weeks or longer, the commander decided
to send two of the strongest of his party
in advance to seek aid. The main body
traveled very slowly, most of them being
scarcely able to walk at all, and having
to transport the sick. De Long was able
to walk only for five minutes at a time.
Ambler was the strongest of the party,
and the commanding officer selected him
and Nindeman to go on ahead for snccor
and to save their own lives, if possible,
both of them being able for s long march.
When this was communicated to the
doctor he told hul commander that he
thought he ought not to leave his sick,
as ho preferred to share their fortunes to
tho end, and his going sway would look
like abandoning them. This doubtless
touched the gallant De Long, whose
first thought seems ever to have been his
high duty to those under his command.
Noros woa then sent iu Ambler’s stead
and his life was saved. Ambler remained
with his sick comrades to the last nnd
died with them. It ia doubtful if the
medical profession affords anywhere a
finer example of heroism than this. Im
prisoned on l>oard an ioe l>ound ship for
twenty-two months, a painful retreat
over weary miles of rough ioe, with half-
frozen hands and feet, then wandering
al>out on unknown shore for three weeks,
reduced to a mere struggle for existenoe
yot not for a moment was blunted his
keen sense of professional duty. Mel
ville, who found the bodies, is of the
opinion that Ambler was tho lost ono to
die. H» frozen body was found in a
sitting sttitnde, clothed in many suits of
extra clothing, seizing in his right hand
De Long’s pistol, taken from his dead
commander’s pocket; in solemn and
faithful guard over his dead comrades.
None will ever know the dreadful extent
of his sufferings during those lost hours,

grateful country have brought home the
mortal rematna of this noble son to on

With no Drop of Negro Blood.
The Selma (Ain.) Time* tells tho fol
lowing singular story :—Mr. Isaac
Frank, a white man, was indicted by the
last Grand Jury under the charge erf
living in unlawful wedlock with a negro
woman. Mrs. Mary Ann Frank, wife of
the accused, was present; also her
alleged mother, Lucinda Weaver, col
ored Lucinda was sworn, nnd put upon
tho witness-stand. Her testimony threw
new light upon tho case and caused a
littlo*fluttcr of excitement and surprise
among those present. She spoke iu a
straightforward manner. Notwithstand
ing Lucinda has always bees known as
the mother of Mary, it tnms ont that
tho young woman’s parentage is purely
white. Lucinda testified that sho was
not tho mother of Mrs. Mary Frank and
that Mrs. Frank was given to her when
an infant three days old ; that a promi
nent gentleman in South Carolinabronght
the young child and prorented it to
Lucinda, requesting that she raise it os
her own. She stated further that the
child was the illegitimate offspring of
on aristocratic woman, and it was her
brother who gave the infant to tho old
negrees to shield his sister's reputation
nnd conceal her sh ame. The old Degress
brought her charge to Alabama, claim
ing her as a daughter, and the real
truth of matters very probably never
woul J have been uncovered to the world
but for Mary’s marriage to the white
man and the indictment issued against
him. Mrs. Frank, now grown into
mature womanhood, has light, straight
hair, a fair complexion, and clear, blue
eyes, and doesn’t bear tho remotest trace
of African blood. A nmnlwr of gentle
men visited her recently, conversed with
her, and decided that she was beyond
donbt a white women. After Lucinda’s
testimony was heard, Solicitor Pitts'
agmdto a verdict of not guilty, and
the happy twain departed in poaoe.

tor Moser, acting under inetruetioMfPMi
the British Home Secretary end eidedhy
a French commissary of polios, is watch
ing tho movements of suspected Irish
men. The nationalist ookmy includes
representatives of the three centres of
the Irish Republican Brotherhood.
Urn first section oompriass the former
Fenians, James Stephens, John O’Lsary
and Gederal MaoAdaras. The last named
gentleman, in an interview, disavowed
belofigtog to the society. His mission
was to counsel friends of extreme violent
views, but it was not hie duty to reveal
taken they might be. He was certain
that other nationalists shared this visw.
Captain MaeOafferty said the weak were
justified in using terrorism against the
strong. He repudiated affiliation with
Contteentat secret societies. He sym
pathized with revolutionary propagand-
ism in Europe because Ireland wss bene
fited thereby; bnt nationalism, even the
most extreme, wss not neoesssrily linked
with nihilism or anarchy. He denied
that he was conspiring actively, but
added that experience was valuable to
prevent a repetition of former mistakes.
The police have traced the arrival of
five transfers, or men belonging to the
third or active section, the dynamiters,,
who have been told off for the next at
tempts. They are all from America,
and come from the following place*:—
One from Buffalo, N. 1.
One from Pateraou, N. J.
One from Brooklyn, N. T.
Two from Texas.
They are believed to be pupils of
MezerofT. The other Irishmen under
watch are Cornelius Cnllimore, Eugene
Davis and Casey. It is believed that the
dynamite is marie at Mnntrougo. The
supposed manufacturer ia registered as
an authorised chemical student The
measure under which authorization is
necessary is confined to the making of
dynamite. The instructor is believed to
l>e a man named Brady, under the alias
of‘•King.” The Brotherhood meet in

Avenue Victor Hugo.
Power of an Avalanche.

r tho Mexican were fifteen passengers on the train and

The Denver (Col.) JVeu’S says : One
of the grandest snow-slides that ever oo-
enrred in Colorado took place a few days
ago, just back of tne Upper Twin
Lake*. Judge Harlan, an eye-witness,
says it was the most sublime sight he
ever witnessed. Just back of Twin
Lakes are Pomeroy, Gordon and Francis
gulches, on each side of which the
mountains rise thousands of feet The
sides of these giants of the R 'Okies had
l>een covered dnring the heavy and pro
tracted storms with an enormous depth
of snow, until the weight had become
such that it could be sustained no
longer. The Judge says that, as it hap-
peneu, ne was stHiiuiug wuere no coma
see the avalanche perfectly. All at once
his ears were greeted with a low, rum
bling sound that seemed like the roar of
a distant storm, and almost simultane
ously an immense volnme of snow be
gan to move down the mountain side in
one of the gulches toward the road. The
agitation seemed to break loose the snow
from its moorings in the other two
gulches, and almost l>efore one had time
to think hundreds of acres of snow were
coming down the mountain with a roar
like thunder, and filling the air with
spray as they tore through the trees and
carried everything before them. As they
descended their velocity increased, until
the rapidity with which the great flehl of
snow and debris came down was some
thing terfiio. The distance, he says,
must have been a mile from where the
avalanche started to the valley where it
stopped. Bo deep was the snow that a
grove of quaking asp, whose trees were
from 20 to 40 feet high, was completely
buried from sight Logs a foot and a
half in thickness, that lay in the way of
the slide, were snapped in two like
straws; trees that were too tall to be
covered up wore torn up from their
rooted places in the mountain sides and
carried like leaves with the avalanche.
The velocity of air produced by the ava
lanche blew down trees that were clear
outside of the track of the slide. For
tunately no one was in tho way and no
lives were lost.
Belnr a Boy.
There is a greet comfort to be a boy
in the amount of work he can get rid of
doing. It is sometimes astonishing how
slow he can go on an errand; perhaps
he conldn’t explain himself why, when
he is sent to the neighbors’ for yeast, he
stops to stone the frogs. He is not ex
actly cruel, bnt he wonta to see if he
can’t hit ’em. It is a curious fact about
boys, that two will be a great deal slower
altout doing anything than one. Boys
have a power of helping each other do
nothing. Bnt say what yon will about
the general usefulness of boys, a farm
without a boy would very soon come to
grief. He ia always in demand. In the
flist place, he ie to do all the errands, go
to the store, poet office, and earry all
sorts of message*. He would like to
hart as many legs as awheel has q<okea,
and rotate in about the fame way. This
he sometimes tries to do, and people who
have seen him "taming cart wheel*''
along the side of the road have supposed
he was amusing himself and biding his
time. He was only trying to invent a
new mode erf locomotion, so that he
could economize legs, knd do his errands
with greater dispatch. Leapfrog ia one
of me methods of getting over the
ground quickly. He has a natural gen
ius for combining pleasure with business.

A Beautiful Death.
In response to an inquiry about Shef
field. Capt Burk said :
"We shall have to take advantage of
the columns of the press in answering
the questions that have accumulated in
regard to Sheffield, the new north Ala-
bram ritT. We have headquarters fer-
information in Atlanta, Nashville, Mem
phis, Tuscumbis, Montgomery, Mobile
auo Selma, but it ia impossible to answer
each man separately, so greit is the in
terest taken in the ma ter. So we will
answer through the press.’*
"When does the rale take place?”
"It begins on May 8th ”
"How will it be conducted?*’
"In the fairest and most open way.
Not a siui le lot will be sold at private
sale. The lots, as platted, will be put
up nt auction and sold without prefer
ence or pnjudice. Each bidder will
stand on the same basis exactly.”
"What will be the terms?”
“We will ask only one-fourth cssh
and the balance in one. iwo and three
rears. Our object in selling for so little
cash ia to allow the buyers to keep the
bulk of their money for building. Where
a man with a thousand or so dollars can
not afford to pay cash for his land and
at the same time bui d a house, we take
only one-fourth for the land and let him
put the rest of his money Hr improve
menta.”
"Will there be large att'ndance at the
sa e?”
"Tho outlook is that it will be the lar
gest crowd at a land sale ever seen ia
tho south. We have aimed specially tp
avoid making it anything of a frolic, or
attracting the crowd that usually go
on excursions. We will have Ti big
crowd but it will be a crowd of earnest
and quiet business men looking for
homes and investment.
"And why should it be a big crowd?
The -iteof Sheffield, is in my opirion—
and in the opinion of everyone who has
seen it, an ideal site for a city. It is
the most beautiful spot I ever saw. The
bluff is from 25 to 125 feet above the
Tennessee river, • which is half a mile
wide at that ppint The ground is roll

brought back by boat to be distributed
by Sheffield merchants throughout the
south
mercial point it wi 1 have no Superiors in
the south. Aa a beautiful and healthy
home, I do not think it will have an
equal ”
"Is the road finished to the coal and
iron fields?”
"It is graded about 20 milesj which
carries it to the coal and iron field, and
the track is laid about 8 miles More
than 1,000 bands arc now at- work and
the end is beingpushed rapidly towards
Birmingham. Tne company that builds
this road own largely of the stock in
Sheffield—the person rile of the tiro com
panies being virtually identical, ' The
men who control the Memphis and
Charleston road and the East Tennessee

new city * railroad of its own, penetra
ting the cool and iron fields, the good

4,000 miles of road, and a river which
leads from its wharves to the waterways

A nnist mposed of those who failed
to got ia early ia tbe speculations of
these places, and are determined not to
misi the Sheffield opportunity. As an
instance, one of our stockholders bought
a lot at Binniogham throe years ago for
12,600. After holding it one year he sold
half if it for wksthe gave for the whole.
Sometime ago he directed his agent to
close out his real estate in Birmingham,
in order to invest in Sheffield, and he
I as informed (hat the remaining half of
is lot was now worth 930,000. Now
there will probably be but oae.. auction
sale of lots by the Sheffield company,
and those who purchase then will get
the "underho'd.” Taje? or tour hun-
ered dollars invested at the beginning
bids fair to be three or four thousand
dollars in a very few years. We have
the history of Birmingham, Roanoke,
Anniston and other places before us.

I have been troubled lor over six yeiqg
with * revere kidney complaint;, also a wea*.
ness of tbe urinary organs, with it* attend
ant troubles. My water needed constant at
tention, worm days a - many as twenty times,
with severe pains iu tbe bladder, as well at
In the back and loins. At times I passed e
limited quantity of urine, highly colored
with unnatural bee' and sediment; frequent
ly evacuations would b) very painful. I
concluded that I must do semetning for it,
fearing that more serious trouble would fol
low. I went to the druggist and was recom
mended to use Hunt’s Remedy, as it bod been
used with wonder ml ruccssj in several severe
see of dropsy and kidney and bladder af
fection* herein Bangor. 1 concluded to try
it, and before I had used one bottle found it
was helping me beyond my expectations. My
water became more natural, less color an t
sediment, the peipa in beck end that heavy
feeling gone, with e general toning up of the
system; and I continued to nse it until I
used six bottios, and it has completely cored
e.
Others of my family have used Hunt’s
emsdy with equally as good mac ms, and we
do net hesitate to recommend It far and near,
bettering it a dnty os wall a* a pCesssif* to
aatinsssd so good e medicine ns Hunts
Remedy. You ere at liberty to give my tes
timony to th* public. „
