The only direct t,.stihony thlt seemed to tmplilcate her was that of the un ken, unrellable witness, Iloyd, who kept tavern at hirrrattsville. Her previous life and history, the testimony of those who know well, and Cat.holic prlests of known pro , bity and honor, all went to show her utter in oapoity to engage in so dlialtllclal IL plot. 'The testimony went to show that the as L~ssination of Linion was a sudden restolution of Booth on finding that the President was to vialt the theatre that night, and the hasty -o.slalpracy hatched up with Paynle Att.-lodt bnd ierohN1, was continted excluelveiy to their knowledge and participatt,on. The fact Is that Mr. Stanton .Judge Advocate Huolt, Bing ainm and Burnett and other olliccrs of the government engaged in tlh proscution Were . omewhat unbalanoed by the imagined great a~ies of a conspiracy which did not exist. Nothing but sucth ai belief would justify the -iteatment to which the prisoners were sub "The trial for the first two week. was con Sduooted in secret, and the prisoners-H---Iierold, Payne, Atzterodt and. I think, two others were masked in it close-hitting, helmnlt-like white cap. which just, left a breathling iriglo for the mnouth and nostrils. They were, be aides, manacled at the wrists anI ankles, anl h the latter were attached a hIeavy ball alnd in Mrs. Surratt was not thus mIaske(d, but she was manaIlted at the feet throulgh the trial. The mlnaks were ranlverl when the trial became public, after the expiration 'f two weeks, when aidmiission was ou,tainu-l to the court only by the Ipe'sonall sanctioni of : eon. Hunter by card." Correspondent I)o youll think the giovern ; mont sanctioncd this severilty tuowardi the . prisoners ? : Mr"D. Pi tman Mr. Stanton was the govern melt at that time. Hie was a man for whom still entertain a profound admiration; it ',ia1 of the Cromnwell typ,, strong bIut unfeel n, and who to obtain a desired end would in t emergency play tl despot-. strangely out of place under a republichan form of gRover Smnt. For instance, what should be more s r eret than the private corres)pondience of a it co mmittel to the publli.. .ti, yet. by 1 . Stanton's orderts-Flin'rsl to open hun S~S of !etters . passed through the gen A l poeaale't Washington, just after the 1lt.ion, when every letter addressed to a was thus stopped. Mr. Stanton's ffloation was that the agents of Jeffetrson , who were then in Canada, were the in tors of the assassination plot. The let ',tn opened to detect therse supposed machin tlons led to very curious results in revealing other matters not directly sought for, and many a brilliant career of army ofllcer and politician was stultified by these revelations, which they little suspected would ever i)'be t*on by the powerful War Minister. T~'he recommendation to mercy for Mrs. Uurtttratt, signed by memnhet of the court in a~oret session, Andrew Johnson afirmtoed he awver saw, and the efforts of Miss Annie E. i rtt to see President Johnson in behalf of unfortunate mother were somehow cruelly atod. An Innocent matron was hanged, history is dumb as to who is responsible +*" the irreparable wrong. Frantic efforts ~iWre made to connect ,lohn Surratt with the biaeasination plot, but, fortunately for himn, they were unsuccessful. Parmlngl Under the Pea. t he fact is not generally known that within :.ree hours' ride of Boston a large and pro .table business has been carried on ever since S-4I , along the seashore, and which is nothing inere nor less than "farming under the sea." K verywhore on the coast of Eastern New ig;land may be found, about teen feet below .ter mark, the lichen known as carrageen ._e "Irish moss" of commerce. It may be torn from the sunken rocks anywhere, and ..et the little seaport of Scituate is almost the .mly place in the country where it is gathered )a cured. This village Is the great centre of at moss business in the country, and the en .ire Union draws its supplies from those beaches. Long rakes are used in tilling this marine farm, and it does not take long to till eth many dories that await the lichen, torn rom its salty, rocky bed. The husband and father gather the moss front the sea, and the wives and daughters prepare it for market. 80ak it in water and it will melt away to jelly. soil it with milk and a delicious white and creamy blanc mange is the result. The an nual product is fronm teen to fifteen thousand barrels, and it brings $5,0,10t into, the town. which is shared by somei 150 families. Its .onsumption in the manufacture of lager beer is very large, and the entire beer interest -',in the country dlraws its supplies from Scitu ae beaches, as the importation from Ireland -hs almost ceased. It Is generally known :hat moss, as an article of food, is called S Moss Farine." M. Labouhre has found this ex.ellent. story in an agricultural paper as told by the Rev. E. L. Bettron, of Romssey, to 'w'hom be all proper praise: "l'he record of 1Romsey Abbey showed that his predecessors in fte livings of St. Leonard and St. Lawrence -eceivod their tithes in kind in the north aisle, T: 'hey received every tenth cow, calf and pig ; i-t how they managed to deal with them h' -"-didn't know. A rather pompous, tight-laced Slergyman was one day called upon to chris ten a child, but on asking its name the woman who brought it said, 'I don't know, sir; it's your child, sir' 'My child?' e'xclaimed he, -Yes, sir, it's the tenth child, sir.' " Ten years ago Mr. Clinton, of Oneida Sought a young mare, and as his little girl Juliette was then in her eighth year, he amed the mare "Miss Juliette ('linton." at week the real Miss Clinton was eighteen years old, and the local paper, speaking of the =are, said: "The dam Miss J uliette Clinton, by Reason, ran away last week and throw :;lr off hind shoe. Early in the week she was Sbut she cribbed for two nights, and t evening Miss Juliette Clinton had her bathed with ammonia by the coachman. hope that if this succeeds Miss Juliette ton will be all right, but her father, , was a great kicker." Never name a or mare after anybody. 'ý,e are told that $150,000,000 were represent the recent bankers' excursion to Atlan *O T.
