THE HIGHER LAW.
I saw the man at whone palace gate
Sick Lazarus died to bia dearth.
But I knew the law bad fixed bia fate,
And I aaw in tbe pomp of bia lordly

The saddest sight of the earjh.
I saw an earl with a waving plume
And a sword of trusty worth,
But be spat in the face of an humble
groom,
And I knew tbe judge bad ottered bis

And banned blm from the earth.
I saw a king with a diadem
He wore by rieht of his birth :
Twaa rich with many a splendid gem,

Had the mastery of the earth!
The lord with the crown and the lord

Must yield to a nobler worth
Than steel or the stamo of the mint

Tbe meek shall possess the earth !

ESCAPED FROM LIB BY.
How a Yankee Tailor Sewed His
; Way to Liberty.
When Gen. John Morgan, the
famous Confederate raider, visited
Ltbby prison, early in '64, he said :
"There is no undertaking in the
world that you have not men in
this prison qualified for; that's
why it is strange that more of you
fellows don't try to get away.
In Libby prison, at the time of
Morgan's visit, there were about
1,400 officers, from beardless second

Connecticut, who had learned the
trade of tailor in his vouth. and
who was conducting a large cloth
inff store at Hartford whenDatriot-
iem dominated prt.fit and sent him
into the army.
Where every man "felt sick and
mean to use an expression com
mon at mat time, only tne very
sick and helpless were sent to the
prison hospital, the eastern ground
floor of Libby. Dr. Sabal, the
Confederate surgeon in charge of
tbe prison hospital, was as gener
ous and sympathetic as he was
handsome and able, and that is
saying much. This gentleman
kept the hospital full, and the fact
that it was much warmer than the
other quarters made it a desirable
place. -
PROPOSITION.
There is one ailment which, at
the front or in prison, "old sol-
diera"' could assume without imme
diate fear of detection, and that is
rheumatism. Rheumatism of tbe
affected character has kept man' a
man, with more cunning than cour
age, out 01 the range oi tne ene
my's rifles. I was myself in the
hospital recovering from typhoid
pneumonia, when Capt. cooper was
brought down from the east room.
Rheumatism in tbe legs ha(T so
crippled the captain that he could
hardly crawl, buthis arms appear-
ed to be all right. The nurses in
he hospital were detailed Union
soldiers who had been confined in
the Peinberton building, a ware- L
house lower dowq and across the
street from Lihby. Capt. Cooper
provea 10 De a jouy goou ieuow,
hut it was noticed that when the
1 Confederate authorities were not
about his rheumatism did not
seem to interfere with agile loco
motion. Where Cooper got his
needles and thread. I cannot imag
ine, but be had those coveted ap
pliances, and he used them to re
pair the damages in the old uni
forms of his comrades. .
One day, while Cooper was sit
ting cross legged on his cot, re
pairing tbe rents in Capt. B.ohan
nan's trousers, La -Touche, the
prison adjutant, came in and watch
ed the firing needle with unusual
interest. Ia ioucne was a stout dressed confederate officers In Klcn
man, whose thick neck and florid mond walu'mg out of this prison,
face bespoke a loye for good living.
He was very neat in his person, a
bachelor, and no end of a gallant,
as we afterward learned.
"See here. Captain," called out
Adjt. La Touche, after he had
watched Cooper for some time,
are you a regular tailor? '
'That is my trade," replied
Cooper.
Think you could make me a
full-dress uniform if I furnished
you the materials?" was the next
question.
"Yes, if I had your measure and
a plate to go by."
Ob, we have no plates, but I can
give you the details; I know &Ha
about 'em. 4. nen tne uoniederate j
adjutant went on to say that he I
had secured all the! materials, but mae of gold lace on the crown,
that tailoring had' become so ex- We: bad never seea such a trans
pensive in the Confederate capital formation. The, new guard had
as to preclude the making up of I
the clothes. 1
You see," continued La Touche,
'there is to be a ball at the state
house in two weeks, and if I could
have the suit made up at a reasona-
ble price, in time for that event, it
would take a great load oS my
mind."
A Bio fbice.
Confederate money had depre-
ciated very much at this time, so
that the prices of articles ordinari-
ly plentiful were fabulous. Know-
ing this, the cautious Yankee
asked;
What would you have to pay a
Richmond tailor for making such a
uniform?"
"About 1400," blurted out La
Touche. j j'
"If I guaranteed you, satisfac
tion and charged one-half, would
you give me the job?' . j
! Gladly," skid the delighted ad
jutant, and the contract was closed.
La Touche must have thought the
transaction irregular, for there was
much secrecy in hi manner when
the next day he came in alone, car
rying a large bundle, in which was
the material to be made up. j
Cooper examined tbe goods, and
after taking his customer's meas
ure (the-customer brought a tape
line witn nimi, when La Touche
turned to leave, Cooper called out:
"I don't want a deposit, Adju
tant, because I'm afraid you'll clear
out and not come back to my shop
for the goods ; but, as you know, a
bard-working man needs more and
I httr fr th.n .i,ni. j.t..
I , o K
nothing. 1 So if you could let me
have a little on account from time
to time it would give me nerve for
the work."
La Touche took the hint and left
$100. As there were no dangerous
cases in the hospital at this time,
the visits of Dr. Sabal and his as
sistants were confined to the morn
ing and evening. On such occa
sions Cooper had his work hidden
away under his blanket, and his
rheumatism was invariably j 'No
better, sir."' !!'"'
With nothing to read and only
the old home or the present situa
tion to think of, time hung like an
ever-crushing weight on the hands
ft ,u
e prisoners. But as soon as
Coo her started in to wnrfe in lh
hospital every man who could crawl

j hd already been paid for
Capt. Singer of tbe 33rd Ohio, who
had about recovered from a gunshot
wound in the .thigh, reoeived at
Chickainauga, drew me tor one side
and said :
I hare a plan for escape, and I
want you to help me."
"Of course I'll do it," I said.
But why not let me in??
"I can't."
"Why not!"
"Because, confound it, there is
only one suit !"
Singer then went on to explain
that; he had planned to take La
Touche's uniform from ' under
Cooper's head, and, after putting
it on, pass out, when the guards
were changed at daylight the next
w a a
morning, row, ever since tne cioin
began to assume form, this idea
had taken shape in my mind, and 1
so told Singer. We drew lot to see
which should try it, and my com
panion won. In my anxiety to see
how Singer made out I kept awake
all nizht. On larceny intent, he
,eft side about an hour before
dayii2ht. j watched him moving
t( where Cooper Ia about fifty
feet awa Tben followed a long
Bllencej A haif hour passed, and I

"But the stuff isn't yours ;
it be
longs to the enemy," Singer pro
tested, hotly. I
"Belongs to the enemy, eh 7 Not
by a long eight it doesn't. That
uniform's mine. Why, confound
you, ever since La Touche left this
afternoon 1 ve been at worR reduc
ing the girth so that it'll fit myself."
You are going to try j it your
self?"
I am, captain," chuckled Cooper.
'Ifow old fellow, go back to your
blanket; and if you keep your
mouth closed and your eyes open,
you'll soon see one of the best-
with a hundred dollars in graybacks
n his pocket."' Singer came back,
Dut there was no need to report, as
I had overheard all.
SUPERB COOLNESS.
Cooper's purpose was soon known
to all the men in the hospital. It
was! also known that the doctors
came in at 9 in the morning, and
that La Touche would be on band
for his uniform at 12, and between
thdse hours Cooper must make his
attempt. The doctors left at 9:30,
and': the guards about the prison,'
were changed, at 1Q. A soon as
the doctors went out. Cooper, wno
geDt on bis old clothes, for he was
thin man we were all thin ben
slipped on the uniform, wnicn
included a gray cap, with a perfect
been on about flfteea minutes when
Cooper laid bis hand on the door.
ue took no leave, and made no fuss.
He reasoned very properly that the
new guard, seeing be was an officer,
WOuld suppose he had entered the
hospital while the other guard was
on, and had Just completed his mis
sion. ' ' . . ;
At this instant Cooper's coolness
was superb. His eyes were clear
and steady, and there was not tne
twitcn of a muscle to Detray tu
nervousness he must have felt. At
length, to'the great relief of all, he
swung open the, aoor ana mp
out. Through the brief opening
we saw the guard saluting andthe
nffieer rettirnincr it. Then the door
i -I - ; : : r
closed with a bang, and Cooper was
free. The next we heard of him be
was safe in Washington.
I have seen some apoplectic anger,
and have heard much fierce swear
ing in my time, but I never saw so
angry a man as Adjutant La Touche
when he came in for his clothes at
noon and found the tailor had car
ried them off on his back. The
last thing La Touche said, as he
bounced out of the hospital, was ;
"If I catch that fellow Cooper
I'll shoot him ! l never "heard of
such a doggone Yankee trick I"

SUGAR AND COFFEE TO RISE.
A Compromise That Will Likely Send
Up. Prices.
Late this afternoon it was ru
mored on Wall street that the long-
pending differences between the
sugar trust and the Arbuckles, who
tnougnt tney coniroiieu me conee
market, had been adjusted on a
substantial and lasting basis. The
rumor was given currency long
alter tne exenanges ciosea ana so
could not affect the sugar market.
No confirmation nor denial of the
rumor could he obtained.
It was further hinted that tbe
Havemeyers capitulated to the cof
fee men and that the price of coffee
would be sent up as a consequence,
while sugar would keep it company
or soar much higher.
The flght between the Havemey
ers and the Arbuckles dates back
nearly two years. The Arbuckles
sold sugar as well as coffee, and be
cause of their enormous purchases
of the Havemeyers they asked for a
reduction in prices aud were re-
fused. The fight then began and uuoa. nmaiiiji- -uK-was
carried to a point where the gest that the passage of resolutions

at a glance, he smiled, land raising
his hat saluted the stars and stripes?
under whicli he had (served 'I for.

across tne window, sill. Again
General Lee spokex reassuringly
sayings "Let it wave daughter

The annual reDorts of the Slcrie-

tary of War and of General Milee,
commander in-chief of the ardy,
are aninteresting study for the
American people. Wfth a popula
tion of 72,000,000 and the country
extending from Eastern to Western
sea, including tbe new Terntoryjof
Alaska that is an empire in itself,
the entire cost of the Army De
partment for the last year was un
der $50,000,000, and of that sum
$6,300,000 were expended for foti-r
fications and seacoaet expenses,
$13,700,000 for rivers and harbors,
nd $3,000,000 for national soldier
homes. Thus the actual costlOf
maintaining our army does-not ex

"Aint old North Carolina in a
fix? If all the politicians were to
die at once, it wouldn't 'do for. the
devil to let 'em all in hell at the
same time. If he did, they would
soon get together ina caucus, hold
an election, elect a new devil, knock
the old one in the bead and set up
a hell of their own.'I ' j
"The last legislature in iNorth
Carolina was a lousy set. I'll1 bet
there wasn't a man in your legisla
ture who could go home and. j bor
row $10 00, without security. jThink
of such little devils ;as that making
