A .New; rFact : abont the ' AssassiniUoav of ! y: : ; " : : Lincoln. , - ; ; I- ; , -: Some time ago, says a correspondent of tha -V Cincinnati Times, a friend introduced zn to ' Frederick- Stone, of-Port "Tobacco (Indian Potopaca), oh the lower Potomac, who was conn- sel to Dr. Mudd, the surgeon of John Wilkes Booth. Stona js now member of Congress from the Fifth Disti ict of Maryland, -d is a modest. ' ' semi-literary lawyer. lie went in his profea- sional capacity to see Payne or Powell, the at tempted assassin of Wm. II. Seward, and ro turned to my introducer with this statement: x 'This fellow is the most extraordinary and , irredeemable ruffian in Christendom. . H Im built like a gigantic savage, baa no idea of fear, possesses no sensibilities, and. wantt to di with promptitude.. ' , . 4 ' .v' . : "He said: to me: "I dou't -want a trial I deserve to be hanged, and 1 expect it. I don't want to be - led out into N court every day, with chains on my legs and a daily hurrah.' I meant to kill that old Seward, and how I failed I can't imagine. I believe I was right in trying to kill ' him, and all I regret is that I did n t kill hhn. ' First I went at him with my knife and then with my pistol-butt. If I had possessed any- thing else, I should have finished him." j ; j Stone asked him the extent, and nature of th conspiracy. , 1 , j "It was a plan to carry off Lincoln and civ himVp to the Confederates," said Payne j fbut , when that failed, Booth, who was the only one 1 in earnest, proposed to kill Lincoln and all tha , Cabinet. All the rest backed out, and scattered like a lot of beggars. We never heard oti Bur rattj of Arnold, of any of them again.'. I told ' Booth that I would go in with him, and he "pre ferred to kill Lincoln, while I wax set upon Seward. ' If Atzerodt or Harold werlnl thi matter they were mere hangcri on. I deserve . to be killed and so docs Booth. The rest wtrs , women and babies." 4 . ... ' ' ' English Railroads. The power of Parliament over railways, writea an American in England, is indicated by the . exquisite manner in which they are run. Thy are built very extravagantly and yield nothing to stockholders, ine ordinary way stations tooc like lodges to a country gentleman's dwelling. and the stations in the city are mof e elegant than i the palaces of her Majesty. It is a felony to . ' cross a track at a station. If you want to reach a train on the other side you must either go over , the bridge or under the track. Officials in uni form guard the gate, and no one is allowed to enter the cars without a ticket. For a person to ride in a first class car who has a second class ticket, is a' fraud punishable by fine and.impTi- onmcnt. The switchesare called points. Xbese are carefully guarded. A room elevated on tall' CQSta completely Availed, wiihiclaaa .U Awund tA . the handlers of the switches. In a coaifortabla room, carpeted, and in the winter warmed and well lighted,. the man who tends the ..points hai his position, lie can see in every direction, and there is no excuse if he docs pot attend to his business. Elegant eating rooms are connected with the station, and reasonable charges are re quired by the authorities. The train: come in one side and go out the other. Baggage is never checked. The traveler must see his baggage on the van, and if it is taken off at the wrong sta tion, which seldom happens, he has no rodreaa. A broad payed road is found m every station. where the cabs stand ; in a line. - There is no noise, confusion or solicitation on the part of cab- men. cm your arrival, the policeman as kg you whether you will have a cab or Hansom. The first; cab in the line takes your baggage, and the rate is fixed by law for the dislr nce you ride. For a first class, coach on the line the fare is probably higher, than in . any other city in ihe world. , due guards are in uniform, and are tun- ally! very civil. If you are traveling two bun- dred or four hundred miles, a pinning to the guard ia a goo investment. The law requires that every line in the Kingdom shall run what is called a Parliamentary train once a day each . way. .1 he rate is hxed by law at a penny a mile. . I he tram runs at inconvenient at every station. No one ti hours and stops takes it who can help it. I l " . A Flea .Fjitertaimnent. i,' The, flea has been cauahtrcaptured and made useful at last. ' We some time since mentioned ' that a gentleman, calling himself Professor Kitchingman, has been endeavoring ' to educate the pulex irritant, and that he had succeeded to pome extent. He is now showing to such of the world of London as care to see his exhibitions what teaching and patient labor can do intro ducing performing-fleas. He has made seas' furniture, men of war, chariots, railroad engines, treadmills, tight-ropes, 'sea-saws, and guns, 'and has brought his insects to such a'pitch of perfec tion that they draw, pull, fire, and do other won derful things when he wauts them to doj so. They are tied to the"instrumcnt by fine hairs or glass threads, and wxu . learn how to do their work. Mr Kitc.hinghaui believes the creatures have intellects. . Without endorsing this, orj un duly triumphing at the fact thai the insect which has so long laughed at roan, upoilt! his tern jper So often, and buttled so t'ffcctuallv'j all ' attempts at suppression, .can now be . tamed and brought under the master mind, we mut con gratulate the profess r on having accomplished a most wonderful task. The flea is certainly a , bad master; we hope he will prove a god scr- vant. Xonca lint$. Immigrants. Immigration Ipromises to bs active this year. During May there arrived at ( the port of New York over fifty thousand, and . from January 1st to June 1st the number was one hundred and two thousand. But fays tbo Herald, the arrivals for the first seven days of the present month are more astonish iog still. In that week there arrived ten thousand nico hun dred and seventy-eight Out, of the hundred and two thousand nearly fifty-four thousand were Irish. The Germans number over thirty4wo thousand. The increase is largo over the Im migration pf last year and seems to have set ia with a perfect .flood. The - Herald says on tho . the other side of the continent every steamship arriving at Sao, Francisco from China and Japan brings a load of Asiatics. The time seems near at hand when the Jmmigration of Chinese and Japanese will equal or exceed that from Europe. x :!1
