About the middle of March, 1865, word was received from those along the “underground route” that, the roads and the time were propitious for un-’ dertaking the abduction, and that the horses would be held in readiness for the relays. Accordingly, at Mrs, Sur- ratt’s Booth assembled his assistants, John H. Surratt, Payne, Atzerodt, Her- cid,O’ Laughlin and Arnold, all mounted for the kidnaping. Between two and three o’clock in the | afternoon they left the house and made for the Seventh street road, where it was reported that the president would pass that evening on his way to the Seventh street hospital. Mr. Lincoln would frequently ride out to the soldiers’ home on the Seventh street road, entirely unguarded, or, if in a carriage, with only a driver, much against the protestations of his friends, who were fearful for his safety. The coach of the president was to be seized in a secluded spot on the road near the city, and Surratt was to jump on the box (as he was more familiar with the roads) and to make for “T. B.,” a col- lection of two or three houses and stores on the “underground route,” about 22 miles southeast of Washing- ton, and thence to the Potomac. The carriage was to be abandoned as soon as the city limits were passed. Relays ‘of fast horses were in readiness, and the boat’ at Port Tobbaco was prepared to cross the river. As the distance from Washington to Port Tobacco creek was about 40 miles, the intention was to make the entire trip the first night, and, crossing the liver, to be within the lines of the con- federacy at the expiration of 24 hours, The plan was not so ridiculously ab- surd as at first glance it appears. It was not a difficult matter at that time io pass the pickets stationed at the navy yard bridge, and once in the country, where friends were willing, fresh horses ready, and federal sol- diers few, the chances of reaching the Potomac in safety were not unfavor- able. . The plot failed because Mr. Lincoln did not go out on the Seventh street road on the afternoon expected, Scere- tary Chase going in his stead. Booth and his companions returned to Mrs. Surratt’s disappointed, disgusted and enraged. Such a favorable opportuni- ty would not likely occur again, and the conspirators disbanded. Surratt went to Richmond, Arnold secured a position at Old Point (near Fort Mon- roe) and O’Laughliin returned to Balti- still hovered about their leader await- ing further devclopments, living at Washington at his expense—Victor Louis Mason, in Century. A GOOD TALKER AT BREAKFAST. Literature Claims His Existence, But None Meet Him in Real Life. A writer in the Buffalo Courier repre- sents some one as.asking this interest- ing question: *‘Did you ever know any- ene who could converse brilliantly a1 breakfast?” The question is a good }one., Why, indeed, should not’conver- sation be brilliant at the breakfast table, when the brain is fresh, yester- and to-day’s have not yet come? An: were not the genial Autocrat,Professcr and Poet speakers at a breakfast table, where surely the conversation was nearly akin to brilliancy? There are other books that give, as early morning talk, conversations which their authors think «worth printing, and now and then im the journal or the letters of a great man there is areference to a breakfast-table. discussion. | Yet, what one of us has ever really came in contact with brilliant talk at cight a, m.?.

ENT Tr JEWELRY, Than Their Descendants. Among the richest of recent archaeo- logical discoveries are those afforded by the opening of the two brick pyramids at Dashur on the Nile, the most south- erly of the great chain of Memphian pyramids, and of some of the encient tombs surrounding them. The _ ex- plorers found that the tombs had long ago been plundered of most of the gold and jewels buried with the royal per- sonages for whom they were construct- ed. Fortunatety, however, some. of those precious relics had escaped the plunderers, being carefully concealed in the tombs 0; some princesees situ- ated on the north side of one of the pyramids. Here were unearthed three splendid breast ornaments, beautifully worked in gold, set with cornelian, lapis lazuli and turquoise, and covered with human figures and the curious insignia em- ployed by the ancient Egyptians. Nothing, perhaps, gives a greater in-’ terest to these specimens of jewelry than the fact that they are far more beautiful and artistic in their work- manship than similar objects made by the Egyptians at a much lafer time. Although they are not less than 5,000 years old, these Dashur jewels are set ‘and finished in a manner that excites the admiration of our 19th century experts. Not less wonderful as a specimen of the artistic skill of the men who con- structed the pyramids is a statue repre- senting the king, Ra-Fou-Ab, at the age of about 16 years, which was found in a chamber near the sarcophagus containing his mummified body. -The statue is carved out of a hard, almost black wood, with great attention to detail, every muscle being carefully wrought, so that anatomical experts have pronounced it a remarkably cor- rect representation of the human fig- ure, It is believed that many other not less interesting discoveries remain to be made among the tombs of Dashur.— 7) A Juvenile Dingnosié. Children are, after all, your true impressionists, with undimmed per- spicacity in taking original views of things. Small and hungry Julia climbed to her seat at the tea table the other evening and exclaimed, in most eager, delighted, caressing tones: .“Oh, gelatine!
