"What is this secret?" It relates to the assassination plot," was the reply. 'That conspiracy was hatched before Lincoln was inaugurat ed the second lime. It contemplated the abduction of Lincoln for the benefit oi aooiner man, I refer to Vice Presi dent .Johnson. He was to be made the great man of war. Lincoln was to to ue got out of way. Johnson was a Southern man ; the struzrrlo was then an admittedlv hooeless one for the South, but it was desirable to baverav man who could be depended on lor satisfaction, as Lincoln, with Stanton behind him, could not be expected to be .lenient. Remember. I do not say that Johnson was a party to the con spiracy, but I ak you to read Gen eral Butler's arraignment of Johnson during the impeachment trial. fRcad it carefully between tho lines, and see what it nieaus. . I tell you only thi, that the list of men privy to the abduc lion of Liuecln would, if printed to moirow. convulse this nation to its centre. I have seen .myself a note Ironi Johnson to John Wilkes Booth askinsr him to meet him at the Kirks wood Hoas3. Han't draw tny infer ences; I merely mean that they wcie on intimate terms.'' . , 'When and where was tho conspira cy organised?" was a"kcd. "It was the outcrowth of Seward'i direct interposition in the case ot Beal, the rcan convicted ot the plot to liberate the prisoners at Johnston's Islantl. in Sandusky Bay. Lincoln was appealed to and promised that Beat should not die. Seward personally interfered and uoally. Eccured Bears execution. A meeting was held at St. Catherine'?. Canada, a few weeks afterward. The plot,was hatched there. It was born of personal malice more than Southern sympathy. The Beal case, and it alone. accounts for tho attack on Secretary beward. I5ut this malicious scheme of a cabal of vindictive men grew into a widely ramihed conspiracy. Most dreadful of all, it becarqe known among largo circles in Washington. There were plenty of men in the Capitol on March 4 who went there to hear a dif ferent man from Lincoln make the in augural address. It is terrible even now tothink how rotten tho heart of the. political centre of this nation then was. I he surrender at Appomattox was a crushing blow. It came sooner than was expected. Lincoln's death bad been resolved upon and the date fixed. But only a comparative few knew that this change had been made in the scheme j I have often wondered if General Lee had not obtained an inkling of the terrible crime in contemplation and hastened the capitulation. He never would have sanctioned a dastardlySact. After the shooting the abject fear man-1 ifested by some people in Washington who had not been attacked is remem bered yet. Too many people were hanged or not enough. The most ex perienced men in the service were put on the case. But one by one they were withdrawn. I was detailed for special duty, but stack tor the conspiracy. I found I was shadowed by other people. I have always suspected there was a conference one very dark night be tween Stanton, Wade and Grant that re ferred to the secret information obtain ed about the conspiracy. I was not present, though I was in the house when it occurred. The archives of the House Judiciary Committee contain, or did contain, some of the most startling tes timony imaginable. General Butler and George S. Bout well knew all that General Grant knew. It either man would tell what be knows, though it is not all the story,-we might have a rev elation yet. What I have merely hint ed at shows how wise General Grant was to keep this awful secret so long, and bow indiscreet he would have been to confide it to anybody." ;A part of Philadelphia and the couu try near at hand were visited by a terri ble tornado on Monday." It struck tbe Delaware river below the city and in just one minute tn excursion . steamer was a wreck. But two lives are known to have been lost: It followed up the river, cutting a swatth through the city of Camden. It crossed the river to the Philadelphia side, near Port Richmond. the great coal shipping and manufac turing center. Then, like a flash, it was gone on its work, of desolation up the river. On the same day .Baltimore and Chicago were visited with terrible rain storms. In the former city, in twelve hours,; the rainfall was 5.58 inches. The sewers were overrun. basements were flooded and there as much loss to property. . In Baltimore Harrison street aqd the Centre Market were flooded for fully two feet above the street surface.

A silver dollar weighs very-nearly an ounce. Hence anylctter not heavier than the dollar can go for a single two cent stamp. This is easily remember ed. If you want to bo exact, take a sil ver dollar and a silver five cent piece, and you have an once almost to a feather s weight. Provided vou haven't tho silver -dollar bandy. use two naiyes. or it you have nickels only, five of them and a small copper cent will give you nearly the ounce. As ninety-nine letters out of one hundred will fall within the ounce , weight, this simple system of weighing will serve for general use. I1 is the result of so mo tests made by Chief Clerk Wood house, of the New York Postollice. N. u. Soldier s Home. A friend writes us from Henderson that at a meeting of tbe people of that town, held on Satnrday Ia9t. Col.,W. F. Bcasley, President of the Soldier'3 Home Association made a very grace ful and eloquent speech in behalf of the noble cause which he represents. In the course of his remarks Col. Beasley paid a glowing and well-merited tribute to the ladies of this city. He said that Wilmington is the only place in the State where action bad been taken and money raised in behalf of tbe Home; that our Ladies' Memorial As sociation had done noble work and arc prepared to do more. The meeting at Henderson was duly organized and the good people of the town pledged themselves to raise their quota of tbe fund. Col. Beasley was to have spoken at Oxford on Monday and he seems de termined that the good cause in which he is laboring shall succeed. . itead and' be Comforted. Those who for the past tew days have been broiled, par boiled, roasted, stew ed, or otherwise done up by the heat, can take some comfort from the follow ing paragraph: In 1303 and 1304. according to a French periodical, the Rhine, Loire and Seine ran dry. In . 1615 the beat throughout Europe became excessive. Scotland suffered particularly in 1625; men and beasts died in scores. The beat in several departments during the summer of 1705 was equal to that in a glass fornance. Meat could be cooked by merely exposing it to the sun. Not a soul dared venture out between noon and 4 p. m. In 1718 many shops had to close ; the theatres never opened their doors for several months. Not a drop of water fell during six months. In 1773 the themometer rose to 118 de grees. 1779 the : heat at Bologna, was so great that a great number of people were stifled. There was not sufficient air for the breath and people bad to take refuge under ground. In July. 1792, the heat became -intolerable. Vegetables were burned up and fruit dried upon the trees. The fumitnre and wood work in dwelling houses cracked and split- up ; meat went bad in an hour. Colored Temperance Men.

We arc indebted to Sheriff Taylor forthe following interesting items of nows from Brunswick county : i The rice corps on the Cape Fear are very pretty probablywere never bet ter. The epland crops ot corn and cotton may prove average crops; in Shallotto and Waccamaw townships they are line and there - will be a surplus of corn there, . provided they meet with no disaster beforo they are gathered. . From Smithville to the South Carolina line, however, along the coast, they are not so good,-and will probably be cut off one-half, in coc- seqtienco of the want of rain while in growth. There has been very little rain on the coast since May. while on the stiff lands in the interior there has been too much rain. On tbe whole, however, a fair crop may be looked for in the county. Henry Williamson, a white man who is said to have been raised in Sampson county, and who escaped from the Pen itentiary a few yearrs ago, turned up in Brunswick in tbe latter part of 1883 or early in 1884. At the last, term of the Suprior Court he was indicted for burglary but was' released on bond, pending trial, lit jumped tbe bond and has since oeeu at, large, heavily armed and bidding defiance to the law. He was captured last Saturday in Shallotte township, by Special Deputy P. C. Gore, and was yesterday safely confined in the jail at Smithviile. where he will be held for trial at the next term of Brunswick Superior Court. ' ' List of Letters.
