How the Assassin of President Lincoln Crossed the Potomac After the Tragedy , The IjnM HopcH oftliol ntmtlo. George Alford Townaond contributes an article to the April number of The Century accounting for a week in the hiatorv of Wilkes Booth's flight after the assassination of President Lincoln unac counted for _ in that history as hithorb related. Lincoln wan shot at about 1 ( o'clock Friday night , April 14 , 1805 Near midnight he and David E. Harol < called at Surratt'a ' tavern about ten miles southeast of Washington. Saturday morning they vroro at Dr. Samuel A Mudd'a twenty miles further on , whore Booth's broken ankle was sot and n crutch was made for him ; that ovoninf ho was at the house of Samuel Cox , n prosperous southern sympathizer , livin ; about fifteen miles aoutwest. The laa witness in Maryland ondedjhero. . The government took up the fugitive next a the crossing of the Hnppahannock rive in Virginia , on the 2ltfi of April. Wha occurred to Booth in the interval Mr Townsend tolls on the authority of ono Thomas A. Jonoa , a foster-brother n Samuel Cox , wlio always exerted a strong influence over him , .lonea was of courao at this time a strong sympathizer thizor with the southern cauao , whic ] ho had aidedj throughout the war 11 his own small wy. He is at present it business at North Baltimore , and keeps a coal , wood and fuel yard. Among the services which Jonon rendered the confederacy fodoracy was the carrying of persons ant mails across the Potomac , a service in volving somu danger , and frequently requiring quiring coolness and cunning. His use fulness in this direction was increased b ; the fact that after being arrested in 180 and released in March , )8i'J ) ( , ho was no regarded with any suspicion by the federal oral ollicors. Ho was aware of the schem which existed late in the war period , fo kidnapping President Lincoln , though i was not designed that ho should take nn part in it. Thu bateau which was t carry Lincoln across the river was koptii readiness from the time the scheme was conceived until the end of the war Jones heart ! of the murder of Lincoln 01 Saturday afternoon , April ID. The nox morning Jones waa summoned to Cox' residence , the young white man who bor the message intimating mysteriously Urn there Tfiiro very remarkable visitors a Cox's the night before. Jones' rospondoi to the summons , and being taken aside b Cox was informed that on the proviou night the assassin of Lincoln had come t the house in company with nnotlio person , guided by a negro , and hat asked for assistance to cross the Potoma river ; "and , " said Cox , "you will have t got him across. " Ho was directed to th place whore the fugitives were hidden among some short pines near by , am there ho found them. As ho advancct into the pines ho caino upon a aaddlot mare roving around in n little cloarot space , and tied her. Ho then gave n aig nal , and Harold fully armed iml with a caiibino in his hand , came out. Horol. conducted him to Booth , who was lyinj ' on the ground wrapped up in blankets' nnd a crutch beside him. IJis rumplut dross looked respectable for that country and Jonoa says it was of black cloth. Hi face was palo at all times , and neve ceased to bo so during the several day that Jonoa saw him. Ho was in groa pain from his broken ankle , which liai suffered a franturo of one of the two bones in the leg down clone to the font It would not have given him any groa pain but for the exertion of his escape which irritated it by scraping the ends o the broken bone , perhaps , in the llcah It waa now highly irritated , and which ever w y the man moved ho oxprossoc by a twitch or a groan the pain he felt. Booth waa very solicitous to knov what mankind thought of his crime which ho fully admitted. He was vor anxious to got to Virginia , where h could have medical attendance , and lie declared that ho would never bo takci olivo. In n day or two Jones wont to Port Tobacco to hoar about the murder and while there heard a detective say hi would guarantee $100,000 to the mat who could toll where Booth waa , but i never occurred to him for a moinon that it would bo a good thing for him t have the money. Ho comforted Boot ill hia concealment aa ho could , viaitin him daily , and carried him food. Wit the fugitives in their concealment wor two horses on whidi they had rode Within a day or two after entering th place , Booth hoard a band of cavalry go ing along the road at no great diatanc and thu neighing of their horses. H aaid to Herold : "If wo can hoar thos horses , they can certainly hoar the noigli ing of ours , which are urn way from wan of food and stabling. * ' Jonoa nubsu quontly said thu horao ought to bo pu out of the way , and they were nccor dingly taken into a swamp and shot. N incidents broke the monotony for day though soldiers rode hither and thi'lic ' examining the marshesbutnot penetrating thopiiios. Six days and nights the fugitive remained in concealment , and on Frida ; ' night an opportunity presetted itself fo' escape. The night was pkch _ dark , am Jones had found that the soldiers wouh bo out of the way. Ho had but ono little ekilf in which to maVo the ferriage of the river. Going to Booth and Horold ho said : "Now , fn'onds , Miis is your only chance. The night is pitch dark and my boat is close by. I will got you some supper at my house , and send yon off if ] can. With considerable dillictilty am with sigh * and pain Booth was lifted oi to Jones' horse , and Herold was put tv the bridle. Jones led the way , progress being made in silence , except as Jones occasionally cave n whistle as a signal. They stopped near Jones' houae. Booth , with a sudden longing , exclaimed , "Oil , can't I go in the house just a moment and got a little of your warm calico t" Tears came into Jones' oyoa as ho denied the roquoat. because , as he said , there were negroes in the house who would betray them. Jonoa wont in , nto his supper without linato , rejoined 'jio ' fugitives and proceeded to where * hia boat was. Booth was carried to < ho koat and embarked - barked witli Horold Both were heavily armed. Jones i vo Booth the dircc- tions as to the Bourse to bo atoorod , and told him io row UP Machodoo crook to the house ' a Mrs. Quoaonberry , who would 'aro for tnom > f "is amo were UBOtl They were together at the water eaomo [ time , and at last Itooth said to Jones with emotion ; "God bless you , my dear friend , for all you have donn for mu.1' The last words Jones thinks Booth a rd were ; Good-byo , old follow ! " fhero was a moment's sound of oara on the water end the fugitives were gono. They did not succeed in crossing the river that Friday nigl\t \ , but struck the residence of Col. John J. Hughes , near Nunjomoy Stores in Maryland , wo t of Popn'g creek about eight milc . Booth luuSu the mareh near by , and Herold procured food for him at the house. On Sunday morning , the ninth day alter the assassination , they reached Mrs. Qucon- borry'a , and loft their boat thoro. They wont to the house of a man named Bryan , on the next farm to Mrs. Quosonborry's , and Bryan took them to the summer liouso of Dr. Richard Stewart , two or Lhroo miles back in the country. Dr. Stewart waa much annoyed at learning that the assassins of President Lincoln were on his promises , and did not invite thorn into nis house , but sent thorn to ono of the out-buildings. Booth was so chagrined that ho look a loaf from his dairy , and with n load pencil wrote a letter - tor to Dr. Stewart , saying ho would not take hospitality extended in that way without paying for it , and inclosed § 3. From Dr. Stewart's he had himself con voyed to Port Codway. Ho probably apont Sunday in Bryan's house , got to Dr. Stowart'a house on Monday , and the same day reached the Ilappahannock river , and wont across with Cant. Jott This creasing was made on Monday , Apri 21. That afternoon ho was lodged a Garrott's farm , thrco miles back. Hi spent the next day at this houae , am slept in the barn. Being informed tha a largo body of federal cavalry had gene up the road this Tuesday , ho was mucl distrcascd. Oil Wednesday morning aoon after midnight , the cavalry relumed guided by Capt. Jolt. The barn wan BO afire nnd Booth shot soon after I ) o'clock in the morning. Ho died a little after aunriso on Wednesday. JlnrHfcird'H Acid PhoH | > linto. Valuable Medicine. Dr. W. H.

" IiOADKI ) GICAItS. The DynamlU : Flonds who Mannl'iiu turo Them In An advertiser in The Sunday Tribun calls the attention of jokers to his stocl of "Old Sport" cigars loaded with ret lire , which , ho says , are just the thin ; for April 1. The Tribune statistics-of local-depravity reporter visited the ostab liahmont yesterday in the guise of a joker , and gleaned considerable informa lion regarding this comparatively no\ industry. The place was evidently wha the proprietor claimed it to bo the na tional headquarters of the loaded-ciga business. Pyramids of boxes of cigars fresh from the hands of the packer , wore ranged along the floor , and built agains the walls , and piled up in the windows The reporter said ho wished to see some "Old Sports. " The proprietor led the way to ono of the pyramids , and oponiiij ono of thochromo-covcrcdboxcsdiaplayo ( what acoincd to bo a box of choice Ha vanaa , fresh and fragrant in all thui treacherous beauty. "What's the price ? " naked the reporter fooling strongly tempted to buy five or 1C cents' worth. "Fifty-five dollars , " replied the pro priotor. "Ah ! And what are they usually retailed tailed at ? " "Ton cents each , or three for a quarter I gueaa. " Then in response to further quuationin the proprietor explained that his firm die a wholesale business only , and , moreover th.it they bossed the loaded-cigar busincs in the United States a statement whic ho made with evident prido. "TJioro's a firm in Cincinnati , " ho con tinned , "that tried to got into this buai ness and imitate our cigar. They couldn' do it. When their cigars got dry afto being kept a while in stock , and a man gr to smoke ono oj them , why , it wouldn' blaze out Roman-candle style like ours but would explode slap bang ! and blot the half of his head off/ ' The reporter pondered n little on th number of-half heads that must bo strowi around Cincinnati. Then ho said : "Die they not know how to make the th thing you load with ? " "Tho cartridge. You bet they didn't That's our secret. If once that got on wo would have many imitators , but as i is the trade is not a good-onough-payiiij ono to tempt manufacturers to npem money in experimenting. It is easy to go a cartridge that will blaze in a shower o sparks while it is fresh and damp , bu the trouble is that when it is perfectly dry it _ gocs oil like a shot. Ours is no' that kind. Wo have boon working at thi thing about three yoarB , and wo have go a cartridge perfectly harmless and ono that gives the same roatilta in cither con dition , wet or dry. " Further inquiry developed the state monte that the loaded-cigar trade boom only about holiday-time. About July the sales reach as high as 10,000 cigars a week , and other holidays , such as Christ mas-Day , they run from 2,000 to 5,000 o wock. The sales about April 1 average nearly 5COOa , _ week. In the quiet time between holidays the sales run as low a 1,000 , per month. Those figuroa nro no for Chicago alone , but for the whole cuuntry. The cigara are manufactured in Chiiag o , and the firm has an eastern dis tributing-branch at Now York. The proprietor boliovcd thoao loaded cigar were retailed at about fifty cigar stands in the city , but complained tha the trade was not pushed with the energy usually characteristic of Chicago cage business-men. Ho hoped , however over , to see it considerably improved by and by. It would Boom from this that the Chi cngo people are not yet odticatod up to the loaded-cigar standard of humor 1 : this firm wanted n bonanza it should move its headquarters to Boston , with a west- urn branch at St. Louia. The sum of the reporter's investigation is that the number of people who would traitorously olfur a poisonous concoction of saltnutro and cnhbago-Ioaf in the guise of a good cigar the common symbol ol pcaco and friendship is creditably small in tliia city. Thoao who would do BO would throw stones at their grftiidmothora and call it fun , and are just the kind of people - plo who deserve to bo lynched on general irinciplcs. Why use a gritty , imulcty , disagree.-- ilu article when Hood's ' Sarsapaiillu , BO niro BO clear , BO delightful can bo oh. aiiied so cheap. SI.00. The Itoom Killer , Chicago Timed.

What Actors and Actresses Think Atmt It , Fanny Davenport Finds No Fluid , No Food and1 Constant Walking The Only Method of Getting Thin nnil Keeping So. Vnw York Sun. Among the stout members of the thea trical profession there has lately spring up n desire to "bant , " that is , to carry out the principles laid down some twenty years ago by William Banting for the reduction of obesity. The fashion was sot by Miss Fanny Davonpcrt , who recently informed the writer of her mode of pro cedure. She said ; " 1 found myself growing heavier rapid ly , although , being tall , 1 was able to carry moro llcsh with less inconvenience than most women. But ono clay , when in London , I got weighed , and was so startled I may say alarmed at the in crease of weight , that I sixid to myself , 'ilero , this must stop ! " "All very easy to say , but how tomako it stop was the question. "First 1 began to read all 1 could find on the subject of the reduction of Heah , and decided that the old Banting system was the best. 1 was much given to outing candies and pics ; it coat mo a great effort to relinquish those , especially the pastry , for I am all nn American as far as liking pie is concerned. Still , 1 did it. I used always to c.irry a box of bon-bons in my pocket , and when 1 lirst laid it aside I was as much lost without it aa n confirmed snuir taker would bo without his ( mull box. But quite a marked decrease in weight rewarded my aolf-donial and en couraged mo to persevere. Walor , too , was another weakness of mine. 1 used to drink , oven in water , several tumbler- fulls , ono after the other , and very fculy while eating. Well , 1 stopped drinking water , gradually , of course , so that now I never touch it. " "Novur drink water ! With what do you supply its place wine boorf" "iS'o , those I never cared for. I drink iced tea , winter and summer , and never anything else. NEXT , 1 HAXISHEI ) IIUKAI ) from my list of fattening foods , and for months 1 have not touched it. Inhospit able I undoubtedly am , since I never 'break bread' with any ono. " "How about vegetables ? " "Aa I never cared much for them , to abstain from them altogether is not a deprivation. " "Then it is true , aa they say , that you eat nothing but beef ? " "No , it isn't either , for I tat mutton , poultry , eggs and fish. But I do noi attribute my lessoning of flesh solely t < : abstinence from certain articles of food , but to the oxurciao I take. I used to ride everywhere , now , I never ride when J can walk , not oven in a car. Sometimes , indeed , whenever my time permits , I starl out in the morning and walk all day long , no matter what the weather may be. A1 first 1 used to return so tired that I could hardly got through the performance , bul now it seems to me the longer 1 walk , the fresher I become. In short , to sum it all up , in my opinion the only way tc bccnmo thin , and to kcop thin , is first , no fluids ; second , no food ( worth speak ing of ) ; third , constant walking. To one who has sulibrcd from a superfluity oi flesh , the lightness which is the immetli ate result of banting compensates for the deprivation of austatory pleasures. Whereas J used to fool heavy , 1 now feel as light on my feet as a child on parloi skates. " Miss Ellio Gormon , the charming s u- brctto of Wallack's theater , has also tried the Bunting system , but tvith different results from those experienced by Miss Davenport. In answer to a question on the subject , she replied , with a laugh : "Uavo 1 tried to reducemy bulk by banting ? That I havo. I abstained from fattening teed until I got so weak I could hardly walk , and I gained all the time in weight. Did I also refrain from water and other fluids ? I did , and the less ] ate and drank , and the moro 1 walked and used dumb-bells and took Turkish baths , Till ! I'ATTKU I ( JOT. I suffered so much from hunger and thirst that 1 often dreamed 1 was ship wrecked at sea and dying of starvation. I really envied that castnAYiiy seafaring man , who had the luxury of eating the whole crow , and being well fed , sang : ' 'Oil , I nui the cook niul the captain bold , Am ! the m.ito of the Nancy brig , And thu Im'sim ti 'lit , Anil the nildsliiimiito , And the crow of the captain's gig. " "Anti-fat" Stouter and stouter did I grow on that till I was obliged to give it up , so that of late I do nothing but take all the oxcrciao I can , and that neema to kcop mo about the same weight from year to year. " Mrs. Eldridgo , who plays the old wo man in Edwin Booth's company , called affectionately "Aunt Lou , " declares she is a "natural banter , " inasmuch as alio never wants to eat or drink anything of a fattening tendency , ami BO keeps her liguro as trim as that of u girl. Hose Eytingo is a very abstemious eater as a rule ; but in the springtime- partakes of spring vegetables , and grows stout as the summer comes on , and then trains down For the winter campaign. She drinks French coffee without milk or sugar. Agnes Booth and Sara Jowott are both celebrated for their beautiful forms. Both have handsome backs , a great ad vantage in these days , when dresses are cut BO low in the back as to display the shoulder blades. Both ladies regulate 'heir diet BO as to keep up that degree of ilumpnoas which is the first essential of Joauty. Good looks , both of form and feature , are the stock in trade of an actress. The ictor , having less need of either , cares ess whether llosh or advancing years Ictariorato the shapeliness of hU figure. Still , for _ those who play young parts , obesity is considered misfortune , as in he case of McKco Rniikin , who played ho role of n young hero in "Storm- leaton , " when , at the beginning of this vason it was produced at the Union iquiirn theatre. Ho hud to place him- elf in all sorts of negligent attitudes , uch as throwing himself at full length AT THE FEKT OF HIS SWEKTHKAUT , Hamlet does in the play scone. Doing f > largo , Hntikin could not toss himself bout like a feather , nnd his efforts to do J were moro amusing than sentimental , nd for this reason principally , ho ro- gned iit's Jrolo to an actor of lighter mild. Mr. Jo oph Whiting , r.lao of the qunro Theatre , was for some time con- onmod by his bulk to play parts of nudlo age , but having lately become a nest determined banter , ho has made figure BO trim nnd youthful that ho has resumed the juvenile roles. Ho say ho lost seventeen pounds in thrco week by abstaining from bread nnd butte alone. The question that naturally presents sonts itself to the inquirer into this sub ject _ i , how much bread and butter ar required to make seventeen pounds o llcsh ? William Mestayer says no , ho neve bunts. Why should he , wnen flesh i not a drawback , but rather the reverse it his line of _ business ? There are sovora other prominent fat actors whoso face i their fortune , BO they care too little fo their figure to refuse the goods the god provide for the table , especially M in lea prosperous times somi-itarvation was no voluntary , but enforced. And talking of faces , the Banting sys torn spoils the fai.o almost as much as i benefits the figure. After throe week of steady banting the face become wrinkled and haggard , the cheeks dro down on to the aeamy , erst double , chii : now a corrugated ban of flesh. There i a pinched look about the nose , whic takes on a topor-liko tint , the akin on th forehead gets stretched and tight , am the oycs bulge out as their bed of Heal is withdrawn. The hands , too , bec m wrinkled as in age. But the most ser ous trouble superinduced by the Bantin system is the degeneration of the digcsl ivo faculties , to which the recent deal of Count Chambord was directly duo Ho had followed the instructions pro pounded by Banting for the reduction o his weight , and so brought about a com plication of incurable maladies.

The Adventure of a Hey AVItli a lien nnd Tuo Linns. MariposaCal. ( ) GIUC.UC. James Lawrence and Pike , the wcl known guide and boar hunter of Yose mite valley , have been camping durin the winter season on Alder creek , abou five miles above Big Tree station. Thi locality is in the midst of a heavy pin forest and undorwrowth of ahrubber and a variety of woods , bordering upo the north bank of the south fork of th Merced river , and abounds witfi game Lawrence has a boy 11 years old ( a hal : breed Indian ) , who is stopping in th camp. At this time the snow is thre foot deep all the way from the static to Alder crook , and the only visitor t that section whore Lawrence and Fik are housed up for the winter waa Willlan Van Campen , who was there on Fob. 25 While there the following moat pcrilou and romantic adventure ot the boy , whic had occurred but a day or two previous was related to Mr. Van Campen : The boy went out hunting by himscl and when about a mile from homo cam across a buck , which ho shot , and , as h supposed had killed , and was about I cut the throat of of his game preparator to hanging it up to a tree when th fleer jumped up and made an attac upon the boy , which caused him to bca a hasty retreat , and seek shelter up tree. In the meantime a dog which ac companicd him engaged the buck in tussle , until , from the loaa of blood.oc caaioned by the shot , it weakened , am the boy came down , cut its throat , am hung it up Ho then started for camp t got assistance to carry in his game am had gone but a short distance when h discovered two California lions , whic no doubt smollcd the blood of the dee and were in cloao pursuit after him. Being but a abort distance from camp the boy ran as fast as ho could throng the deep snow , with the lions close afte him , and just as ho was turning a point o a ridge ho came suddenly upon a bear which stood his ground and allowed th boy to angle his course and pass on. A this point the two lions and the bear mo and us the boy looked back ho observu them in apparent consultation as the , atood together. From this point the bo | ran and hallooed as loud as he conic which was hoard by Pike and Lawrence who were in camp. They forthwith grab bed their guns and wont to the boy's ro lief. On taking the back track , the , came to the spot where the lions and bea had trampled the snow , and , to all ap poarancoa , hold a council and departed the lions taking the back track and th boar going in an opposite direction. I was probably well for the boy that ho wa of .Indian blood , otherwise his wits woult have boon frightened out of him. Two liona and ono bear was enough for on day's adventure. Cure That Cold.
