In the National Museum there is a pair of dove-col ored chamois skin gloves whice were made for the President just before he was assassinated but which he never wore. Here, too, is a model of his patent for lifting vessels over shoals, and in a case near by you may see a lock of his brown hair laid away with that of the other Presidents. A man named Petersen, who was a son of the man who owned the house in which Lincoln died, has tlie pillow case and quilt upon which he breathed his last breath. They are clotted and stained with blood, but Petersen considers them worth a great deal and he would hardly sell them for their weight in silver. There is a tall, thin messenger at the White House named Pendle who has been there for nearly thirty years, and who was on duty on the night that the President was shot. He will tell you how he was affected by little Tad Lincoln, sobbing and crying: “Oh! they have killed my papa! My poor papa! Let me go to my papa! ’’ Pen dle worships the memory of little Tad and his father. In a tiny gold locket he has a little band of the President’s hair, and in a camphor-scented box he keeps a fine black broadclo a coat, one sleeve of which is badly cut. It was in this coat that the President died, and Pendle treasures it as though it was a veritable cloth of gold. A man named Forbes, who lives in Washing ton, has the shawl and black silk stock worn by Lincoln when he was shot, and he is also the owner of a beauti fully carved cane given to the Presi dent by a Pennsylvania regiment, as well as the pocket-knife of the Presi dent. Forbes is said to have been m the box the night Lincoln was shot, as one of his attendants. The arms of John Wilkes Booth and some relics connected with his death are still kept here at Washington. A piece of Booth’s vertebras is shown in the exhibition cases of the Medical Museum, which is now kept in Ford's Theater, where the assassination oc curred. This theater has never been used as a place of amusement since the night of the great crime. A short time after it Ford, the owner, who was some thing of a Southern sympathizer, at tempted to open it, but Secretary Stan ton forbade it, end the Government bought it, paying, if my remembrance Is correct, one hundred thousand dollars for it. As to the Medical Museum, it is filled with all sorts of horrible things. Hun dreds of cases with glass fronts are shown full of all the horrible diseases that flesh is heir to. All sorts of human deformities look out of big bottles of alcohol, and a visit to the scene of Lin coln’s assassination is disgusting be yond description. There are a great number of skeletons polished until they shine like ivory and fastened together with wires. In the top of the skull of each of theso there is a brass ring and by this skeleton hangs behind glasses clear as crystal and grins at you most horribly as you pass by. I am told that a new building is being erected for this Medical Museum. It is cer tainly not fitting that it should remain where it is. All the semblance of the scenes of the assassination has been taken from tlie interior of the theater. It has been cut up into different floors and the only thing left which they can show you to remind you of the assassination is a window looking out on the alley ./here Booth got his horse and galloped away down towards the Maryland shores.— Carp, in Cleveland Leader. — Issued EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY —IN Colombo Is in some respects more favored than other tropical cities, audit is as healthy us fun reasonably be ex pected, owing to its long extent of sea shore :iinl its constant exposure to sen winds.

When Queen Victoria and Princess 1 Beatrice were driving near the Buck ingham Palace Park, along the Con stitution Hill road recently, a shabby- looking man elbowed his way through the crowd and threw a small package into the carriage.

Dr. Carlos Finlay, of Havana, has published the results of several ixperi- ments he has made on the inoculability of yellow fever. He performed the operation, or rather got it performed for him by mosquitoes, which he caused first to sting a patient suffering from yellow fever and shortly afterward a healthy person who was to be (with his own consent of course) the subject of the experiment. He found that the dis ease was only inoculable from the third to the sixth day. When two mosquitoes were employed, so that a double ijose was given, the symptoms of the experi mental disease were somewhat more severe than when only a single mos quito was used. Of eleven cases of in oculation, six were efficacious, one doubtful and four negative. The period of incubation varied from five to four teen days; the symptoms consisted of headache, pyrexia, ¡Ejection, with sometimes an icteric tint of the con junctiva, and in someeas salbuminuria. The fever lasted, as in the ordinary form, from five to twenty-one days. The author believes that thismethod of producing artificial yellow fever will ultimately be found very valuable as a prophylactic against the natural and dangerous form of the disease.— London Lancet.
