Mr. William Preston Johnston, who served on Jefferson Davis' staff, and is a son of the late Geri. Albert Sidney Johnston, in a recent inter view with "Oath" remarked: "I was present at a breakfast at President Davis' mansion when a proposition was made to him to abduct Abraham Lincoln out. of Washington city and bring him a prisoner to Richmond." ' Who was the man?" said I. "It was Walker Taylor, .a nephew of old President Zachiiry Tayior. A the beginning of the war I went into the 1st Kentucky regiment, com. inaaded by Tom Taylor, who is now the chief of police ia Louisville. I never knew a Taylor who was not personally bra-Ae. Walker Taylor AViis one of the bravest of the brave. At Port Denelson he was captured and taken to Louisville. He was badly wounded at the time. It was in the month of February, I think, while he was standing in the line of prisoners, a friend close at hand slipped an overcoat on him, and he stepped out of the line into the crowd and could not be found. Wounded as he was he was conceal' ed from house to house, and searched for, and after he got better he resolv ed to go to the South again. So he came east to "Washington city and went South probably by the same route that Booth afterward toot across the lower Potomac. "The Kentuckians were not like the Mississippians in the war, and always protected each other, though on different sides. Those Taylors had two brothers on one side and two on the other. Walker Taylor had members of his family in high government positions some in the navy, some in the army, some in the civil service. They were astonished to see him around there unparoled, going at large. Still, they did not give him up; they entreated him to take the oalh or leave. Among other pUces he went to ; the White House to call on Abraham Lincoln. He got somebody to introduce him, Mr. Lincoln treated him with courtesy, and, seeing that he limped, said to him: kI see that you have been .wounded, my friend. Where did you get wounded?' 'At Fort Donel sou, Mr. President,' said Taylor. The President paid him a compli ment, little supposing that at his wrist is one of the most deadly men in the world. "When Taylor left Washington and came to Richmond he came to see me, knowing that I was President Davis' aid-do -camp, " and he said: 'Johnston,. I-can capture Abe Lincoln and I r'n him to Richmoiid, and all I want is the permission of President Davis to do it Can't you get me )tu interview with Davis?' fcaid I, 'Yes,' and I arranged writh tha Presi dent that he should come to break fast the next day. At the breakfast table or alter breakfast, I said to the President: 'Mr. Taylor has an important proposition to make to you, Mr. Davis.' 'Well, Walker,' said Davif3, affably, 'what is it'?' "Mr. Davis, I want to bring Abe Lincoln a prisoner to you in this city.' 'Oh, pshaw!' said Davis; 'how can such a thing as that be done?' Just . as easy,' said Taylor, 'as walking out of this town. I came across the Poto mac at no great distance from Wash ington City, and while I was in Washington I watched Lincoln's habits closely, and knew his outgoing and incoming. I tell you, sir, that I can bring him across that river just as easily as I can walk over your doorstep.' 'How would you do it!' said Mr. Davis. " 'Lincoln,' replied Walker Taylor, 'does not leave the White House till evening, or near twilight, and then, with enly a driyer, he takes a lonely ride two or three miles into the country, to a place called the Sol diers' Home, which is his summer residence. My point is to collect several of these Kentuckians whom I saw about here doing nothing, and who are brave enough for such a thing as that, and will throttle or kill the driver and gag Lincoln, run him down to the Potomac, and cross him over just where I crossed, and net day we will have him here, Mr, Davis.' Davis shook his head. Said he: M cannot give my authority, Walker. In the Fir-t place, I sup pose that Lincoln is a man of jaoiae . courage. lie has been in Indian wars, and is a western man. He would undoubtedly resist being captured. In that case you would kill m I could not stand the reputation of having consented to let Mr. Lincoln be assassinated. Our cause could not stand it. Besides what value would he be to 11s as a prisoner? The moment he was removed a far worse man, Andrew Johnson, would take his place, a man highly incensed against us all. Lincoln is not the govern men t of the federal power. lie is merely the political instrument there. If he were brought to Richmond, what--could I do with him? He would have to be treated like " the chief magistrate of the north, and we have neither the time nor the provision No. sir, I will not sive my authority to abduct Lincoln.'" "Do you think that Walker could have been successful Col. John ston?" "Yes. Booth chose a theatre to kill the President in, and got across the river without much trouble. Taylor was one of the best men in the world for an adventure like that " THEBEVT RECIPE FOR A I.OXU LIFE St. James Gazette. Apropos of Sir Moses Monteliore, whose approaching entry on his hundredth year is a subject cf such general congratulation, what is the best recipe for a very long life sup posing a man to consider it an object worth Attaining? Milton laid stress on "the rule of not too much," which is no doubt an excellent one, but vague in its application. Moreover, Milton followed his own advice, and yet failed to live sixty six years. Fontenelle, whose life embraced almost exactly a century (11th of February, 1657, to 9 th of January, 1757,) was formerly asked his opinion on this weighty question, and replied that he ascribed his length of days to two maxims he had laid down for himself and rigidly adhered to the first, "everybody is right;" the second, everybody is possible." The the late Canon Beadon was less sen tentious, and would laughingly explain that he had reached a hun dred simply by never wearing an overcoat. It was either he or another centenarian who said he had never eaten meat, cold but a' ways hot, and thus saved his digesiion for premai tare exhaustion owing to double work. It is related of Lord Mans field that whenever a hale and hearty old man gave evidence before him, he would question the witness in a friendly way as to his habits with the result that he found eve ry one to be an eaily riser. The topers are said to have been as numerous as the water drinkers; which is probable enough, the latter being an extremely limited section of the Euglish people in the eighteenth century. A Confederate Ball in IHclimoml. Eic'Wond Dispatch. If next year we succeed in consol idaticg the three funds (about $35, 000) now in hand for building the Lee monument in Ricnmond, and should secure a plan which would justify the laying of the corner stone in October, the surviving members of the Army of Northern Virginia would reassemble in Richmond in such numbers as to make agathering for. ever memorable. There would be present real generals, colonels, majors, captains and lieutenants and privates by thousands. It would be the time for a Confederate ball, somewhat of the character of the colonial ball had here a few years bgo only the gentlemen would not wear queues and ruffled shirts and knee-breeches of ft hundred years ago, but the red worn gray and army shirts of the war of 1861-5. Plenty of the uniforms of the officars and privates are yet kept, and long will be preserved as heirlooms, and could be produced for the occasion. The ladias would appear in such dresses as suited the time represented. They may be relied to make them up in a good . style and adapted to their varying types of beauty. We could invite ex-President Davis to come that week, and no doubt he would accept. So would Beauregard, John ston, Early, the Ransoms, Hampton, Maury, the Lees, Colquitt, Gordon, Kershaw. McGowan, Kemper, Vance and hundreds of other notables. The ball might be arranged to take place in the Jeff Davis house (now Central school), and a wim could be lva. ized from it that would start i'lto vigorous, life the dead current of contributions to the monument iuncL Tiie Marvelous Rablt Foot. Charlotte Ob'erver. When Fons Young left Charlotte to take charge of Messrs. Scoville's Suwanee Hotel, m Florida, he carried his rabbit foot along, and it has been of service to him, a? through its use Fons recovered $100 that had been stolen fiom a guest of the house. The guest in question had 100 sto lon from liis room and on reporting the robbery, Mr. Young called all the servants and waiters together and arranged them ia a line in the dining loom. He then told them of the robbery, and each one denied any knowledge of it. Fons then pulled out his r.vbbit loot and wciked a successful ruse upon the superstition of the darkies. He told them that he would 'cross each one with the rabbit foot aud the one who stole the money would fall in a tit and die im mediately upon being crossed. Fons very solemnly crossed the first, sec ond and third negro, neither of them quailing, but when he came to the fourth there was a scene, The darkey threw up his hands and implored Mr. Young not to cross him with the foot, and rather than be crossed, he pulled out the $100 and handed it over. Score one for Fons' rabbit foot. He has carried it in his pocket for four years and his faith in its virtues has at last been vindicated. Salt as a Remedy Tor Dyspepsia. S'l.iier Manifesto. "Half a teaspoonful of common table salt dissolved in a little cold water and drank will instantly re lieve heart burn or dyspepsia. If taken every morning before break fast, increasing the quantity grada ally to a spoonful to a glass of water, it will in a few days cure any ordinary case of dyspepsia, if at the same time due attention is paid to the diet. There is no better remedy than the above for headache; no better gargle for sore throat. It is equal to chlorate of potash, and is entirely safe. It may be used as often as desired, and if a little is swallowed each time it will have a beneficial effect in the throat by cleansing it and allaying the iiritu tion. In doses of fiom one to four teaspoonful in half a pint of tepid water it acts promptly as an emetic, and in cases of poisoning is always at hand. It is an excellent remedy for bites and stings of insects. Seven: on ttso Mobility. N. Y. Hera'il.

'Pitt it down John Doe or Prince Bismrack,' said the Justice. 'Yes,' remarked the tramp, 'I'm a prince of iron and blood.' 'You a;e a prince of whisky and beer, and are fined $10.' 'That is more than royal exchequer contains, Judge; you are severe on the nobility,' and the door of the ten day prison closed behind the imperial strangei. STANDARD RAILWAY T1MB. - Bai'road Gaaette. The subject of standard time is now before the railroad managers of this country, demanding not simply ap proval, but action. U will be remem bered that at the spring t'me conven lions the proposition of Mr. W. F. Allen, Secretary of both these conyen tions, to adopt for North America five standard time9, exactly an hour epert, namely, the time of 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 degrees west of Greenwich, was unanimously approve, and Mr. Allen was instructed to seud informa tion concerning the new standards proposed to the managers of all lue raiirofd9. und to eudeivor to have them adopt them. This informati n has been given by Mr. Alien in the conipletest way by means of two maps oftlieUuiled Spates, on one of which all the railroads having the time standard at present -are colored alike, aud na the other they are colored ia accordance with the porposed uniform standards. The map showing the present standards makes a striking picture of tlie exciiiflg complexity. There are d ai rent times cloe alo:ig sklo, X line run by Pii'Lulelpi i i time piij; c.s ! liroagu a net aoi k of lines run by New York tiuiej ia soma places there are several kinds of railroad time; and in the United States there are nolens tlian" . 49 time standards,, which by the progosed change will be redu-t d to four; for the time of I he COlh meridian will apply only to the British maritime province, Roughly speaking, the time of the 75th merid ian, 'which 't is proposed to cell "Extern time." will apply to all the railroads of New England, New York. Pennsylvania, Maryland, and the two Virginias and tie two Carolina, ILe exception being' the the cxten&iou of the 90'di meridian time (-'Central ' time.") to Buffalo Pittsburg, and the other, western termini of the trunk lines;' while fn Canada, "Eastern time" Ul exted to Detroit and Lako Huron.' The cbeif points of junction between' 'Eastern" and "Central'' time arc -Surma, Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburg, ' Wheeling, Parkcr&Wg, Huntington, W. Va, Bristol.. Tcnn., G istoi ia, N. C. Augusta, Gfl., and Charleston, S. C. This time is four miuu'ea slower limn Kev York time, one minute faster than Philadelphia, and eight minutes faster than Wash ington time. But by far the larger part of the railroad system of the country will come under 'Central time,'' of that of tha 90th neridian, which is but cae minute faster than St. Louis titn, three minutes slower than Vickshurg time, just New Orleans time, atd nine minutes slower than Chicago lime. It takes in all the railroads from Buffalo. Pittsburg, and Savan nah to the Missouri River in Dakota, nearly to the Colorado line in Neb raska and Kansas, and the whole of Texas except a little corner from New Mexico sooth to the Rio Grande. Nine tenths of the railroads of the country come under these two tim ;s The 105th meridian (Danver) aad tLe 120th (the line between California and Nevada) naturally covers a small mileage. Whether a lima which in some pla ces will be half an hour from solar time will be adopted for general uses is questionable ; bat for the railroads the proposed standard are certainly a great improvement on the presunt confusion, and perhaps as likely ss any that could bu proposed to oomo into ;enral use. Mr. Allen has stu-lied out the sub ject thoroughly, and has prepared ''translation tables" by which the pro posed si.anJard oau be substituted for any one of thij fifty existing standards without any computing. A large cumber of important railroads have agreed to adopt those standards i the innj ii of tlie roads in their district do so, and a the com" .i timo conven tion it is hoped tha', s'sinothin m iy l'c effected. lerictuul Motion luvciitcil.
