TIY AN KX-RFBEL.
( Detroit Free Prens )
When General Early made his great
raid on Washington I was scouting be
tween his advance and the city, and was
captured within the city limits twenty
four hours before his battle flags appeared
n sight. I was dressed in citizens' clothes
pretended to be deaf and dumb, and claim
ed to have been driven out of Richmond
because I had written threatening letters
to Jefferson Davis.
I had been inside the fortifications for
half a day and was slowly Tvorkiag out,
when a coupla of young men, both of
whom wereconsiderably the worse for liquor,
haulted me and wanted to fight. I had a
pencil and a block of paper with me, and
I wrote:
"I am deaf ano: dumb."
That made no difference with them. In
deed, they declared that it would be a no
vel idea to lick a deaf and dumb man, and
one of them gave, me a uff on the ear.
In those days I weighed 160 pounds
and had the muscle of a prize fighter. I
tried to get away from .them without fur
ther trouble, bat when they seemed de
termined to have a row I gave them all
they wanted, and wasn't many minutes
about it. .A crowJ of soldiers and civil
ians collected, the provost guard came up,
and the result was as I had anticipated. I
was arrested and carried off to a guard
house. One of tie young men, who after
ward turned out to be related to a member
of tha cabinet, followed me to th office of
the provost marshal and charged me whh
being a spy. No one seemed to entertain
a doubt that I was deaf and dun.b, as T
cla;aied, and ray examination was carried
oa in writing. 1 was asked my name, age,
where born and a. hundred other questions.
and then searched. They found nothing
on me of a criminating nature, and T rea
soned that I would be detained until after
the excitement had passed and then turned
loose.
After heinsr detained three days an of
ficer entered my quarters one morning and
said to me:
" Well, dummy, you can pick np and get
out "
The minute T hnrd bis step outside I
was on rny cuard. but he spoke in such a
natural ton" that I caroe nar givinr my
self away. On three different occasions
durinc th; war T played tho part of a doa'
and dumb man, and T tell you it takes all
the nerve and presonce of mind a man can
o-H up. T sat faeincr tho door, and, whiTe
T heard his words, I made no movement.
Tie came closer to me and said:
"Come, pick up your tps; you are to
ho turned loose."
I looked him traio;n7, in the eye with
out winking, and after a hit a look of cha
rrrin stole over hia face and he motioned
for me to follow him. He took me to the
provost marshal's office, and I ws ushered
ino a rrWnte room where the marshal anil
three or four other officials were seated.
On the wav to tho office, we crossed a
wide street, the officer suddenly xelainied:
,:Theros a rnnawav horse look out!"
If I hsdo't been expecting some snob
thing on his pirt T uid have betrayed
myself. A T gse no aign, continuing on
with my head down, I heard him growl
ing:
"Thev think they've got- a sucker,
they'll find out their mistake!"
T entered the office, knowing that every
trick would be ra-oned to break me down,
and my nerves were braced as if to charge
a battery of artillery. T was left standing
by the door for a moncnt, when one of the
officials looked up and quietly said:
"Take a seat, sir, and well attend to you
in a moment."
I made no move, hut looked around" the
room in a atupid sort of way. I was look
ing out of the wmdow on to a roof when
the same official said:
"You may come forward and take this
chair "
i stood like a stone, and he rose up, came
over to me and led me to a chair at the
tabic. When I was seated one of the" others
remarked.
"Write your same, age and place of resi
dence oo a slip of paper."
That was trick number three, and it
failed as the others had done. By and by
the marshal wrote on a slip of paper : -
"Who are you, and where from?" j
I wrote in reply: j
"I am Charles Jones, of Richmond."
"But you are a union man?" suggested j
one'ot the officers aloud.
I saw his lips move, but he got no sign
from me. The examination continued in
this manner for a full bour, the men using
very artifice to (rap me, but they failed to
score a single point. I knew they would
reserve the sharpest trick to the last, and
was thcrefsre nerved ep for tc. At length
the marshal pushed back in his chair point
ed his finger at my breast and angrily ex
claimed: 'Where did that Confederate button come
from?"
It was another failure. Then he turn
ed to his companion and said:
"Gentlemen it is no use. The man is
certainly beaf and dumb and a D n fool
besides!" '
"We wasted our time," replied a second.
"He is not only what he claims to be, but
may be of great service to us. I'd have
the officer take him over to tha secretary
of war."
"I guess I will," said the officer, and he
rang a bell and 1 heard the door open.
There he turned to me careless as yoa
please, and sa d: , : -
"Go with the officer!"
It was their last shot. I never moved
a muscle until the officer approached and
placed his hand on me. I was taken back
to the guard-house, kept a prisoner for
another week and then the disgusted mar
shal turned me loose in the streets.
SCRATCHES.
trough the garden
Ran the maid,
"I must have a rose she 8nid;
"Take a lily," some one whispered,
"Take a lily, child, inntead."
But the roses hung in posies,
Brightly blushing, overhead;
Up ehe sprang and, lightly laughing,
Snatched one; but her finger bled.
So the choose
Her own sweet rse.
And her own sweet will he had it.
Had a cruel thorn ah well;
Wouldn't tell old Pride forbade it,
When a maiden says, "I will !"

Still she bears it, wears it ti!l
All things end no aaint eau sare her.
.Temple liar,
TSie Bridal Wlaic-Cup.
"Pledge with wine, pledge with wine,"
cried the young and thought tlcsj Harvey
Wood. "Pledge with wine," ran through
the bridal party.
The beautifu' bride grew pnle; the de
cisive hour had come. She pressed her
white hands together, and the leaves of
the bridal wreath trembled on her brow;
her breath "toe quicker, and her heart
beat wilder.
UY Marion, Hy aside your scruples
for thi e," said the judge in a low tone,
aroing toward his daughter, ''the eompiny
expect it. D" not so seriously infringe
upon the rules of etiquette. In your own
home do as you please; but in mine, for
this once, please me."
Pouring a brimming cup, they held it;
with tempting smiles, toward Marion. Sc
was very pale, though composed; and her
band shook" not, as smiling back, she grace
fully accepted the crystal tempter, and
raised it to her lips. But scarcely had she
done so when every hand was arrested by
piercing exclamation of", how terri
ble!" "What is it?" cried one and all, throng
ing together, for she bad slowly carried
the glass at arm's length, and was fixedly
regarding it.
"Wait," t-he answered, while a light,
which seemed Inspired, shone from her
dark eye3 "wait and I will tell you. I
see," she added slowly," pointing one finger
at the sparkling ruby liquid, "a sight that
beggars all description; and yet listen; I
will paint it for you, if I can. It is a love
ly spot; tall mountains, crowned with ver
dure, rise in awful sublimity around; a
river runs through, and bright flowers
grow to the water's edge. But there a
group of Indians gather; they flit to and
fro, with something like sorrow opon their
dark brows. And in their midst Ho a
manly form, but his cheek, how deathly !
his eyes wild with the fitful fire of fever.
One friend stands before him nay, I
should say, kneels; for see, he is pillowing
that poor head upon his breast.
"O ! the high, holy-looking brow. Why
should death mark it, and he so young ?
Look, how he throws back the damp curls!
See him clasp his hands! near his thrilling
shrieks for life ! Mark how he clutches at
the form of his companion, imploring to be
sived 1 O 1 hear him call pitcously Ins
father's name, see him twine his fingers to
gether as he shrieks for his sister his on
ly sister, tho twin of his soul, weeping for
him in his distant native land.
"See !" she exclaimed, while thJ bridal
party shrank back, the untated. wine
trembling in their faltering grasp, And the
judge fell overpowered upon his seat
'see! his arms are lifted to heaven he
prays how widly ! for mercy; hot fever
rushes through his veins. He moves not;
his eyes arc set in their sockets; dim are
their piercing glances; ia vain his friend
whiapess the same of father and sister
dc-uth; is there. Death' and no soft band,
no gentle voice, to soothe him. His head
sinks back; one convulsive shudder he b
dead !"
A groan ran through the assembly, so
vivid was the description, so unearthly her
look, sc inspired her manner, that what
she described seemed actually to have ta
ken place then and there. They noticed,
also, that the bridegroom hid his face in
his hands, and was weeping:
"Dead," she repeated again, her lips
quivering faster and faster, and her voice
more broken; "and there they scoop him a
grave; and, without a shroud, they lay him
down in that damp, reeking earth, the only
son of a proud father, the only idolized
brother of a food sister. There he lies,
my father's son. my own twin brother, a
victim to this deadly poison. Father!"
she exclaimed, turning suddenly ,whiU t?ars
rainad down hefbeautilal cheeks, "fathar,
shall I drink it now ?"
The form of the old judge was convulsed
with agony. He raised not his head, but
in a smothered voice he faltered:
"No, no, my child; no !"
She lifted the glittering goblet, and let
ting it suddenly fall to the floor, it was
dashad into a thousand pieces. Many a
tearful eye watched her movement, and in
stantaneously every wine-glass was trans
fered to the marble table on which it had
been prepared, Then, as she looked at
the fragments of crystal, she turned to the
company, saying: "Let no friend hereaf
ter who loves me tempt me to peril my
soul for wine. Not firmer are the ever
lasting hills than my resolve, God helping
me, never to touch or taste .he poison cup.
And he to whom I have given my hacd,
who watched over my brother's dying form
in that last solemn hour, and buried the
dear wanderer there by the rirer in that
land of gold, will, I trust, sustain me in
that resolve."
His glistening eyes, his sad, sweet smile,
were her answer. The jude left the room,
and whon, an hour after, he returned, and
with a more subdued manner took part in
the entertainment of the bridal guests, no
one could tail to read that hn had deter
mined to banish the enemy fore ver from
his princely home. Ex.

a was ooru on tne irontier, began -the i
speaker, "where I had slavery on (iia side !
and abolition on the'other. Truly, in those j
days I regarded it as the Christain duty
of every decent white laan'to wake up at
midnight and spend an hour in hating a
Southern Democrat, I"did this .thing" for
some time. Well I did expect to have a
har l timcS'Uth. I thonght of a Iv .ntuck
ian as a great big six -footer, with Ion 4 yel
low hair, wearing a big loucbed hat and
carrying an arsenal of pistols and bowie
knifes. I was confident of finding every
house a saloon in Mississippi. The first
place I went to was Louisville, in Ken
tucky. The first night I lectured, there
were fifteen ministers on the platform. I
said to myself this Ls a very decent intro
duction. Next I went to Harden county,
the birthplace of the be'oved Lincoln.
There were very f,w salooons there. From
Harden I Went isito lluilitt county, I
looked for a saloon; I could not find
any.
"I said, -'Where are your saloons?' They
replied. 'We have had'none in this coun
ty for twelve years.' Right here I would
like to sny that Tsaw the famed Salt River,
and looked for the other fellows. T said,
4 IVTiere are Rh ine and'Butler'and 'Belva

know; .they guessed they hadn't com e aIon
yet. From Kentucky I Vent tto Corinth.
0!d soldiers know where this place is. I
got off thd train at the station at 4 a. n-.
Another fellow got off at the" same time.
He said: 'Stranger, can you tell m where
T can find a hotel?' T replied that I could
not, as I was a stranger here. 'Then said
he, 'let s take our grips ar J try and hunt
up one.' I" said : I wis agreeable. We
found one. The morning was very chilly.
When we had dropped our valises my
friend said: 'Stranger. I said I want a tod
dy, wh..t's your?' I said I thought a hot
stove was good enough for me. He a.ked
the landlord,, who said they did not keep
it. 'What no toddy? 'No, here, nor
any other place in Corinth.' The stranger
went out without his toddy, hoard me
speak that niht, and became a Prohi
bitionist himself.
,:I found that throughout the ent're
j South, it vs the sme way. Li Mass-
chuset's there is a law forbiding the sale of
intox:cating drinks within four hundred
yards oi a school bouse. In thoSmfh they
cannot sell anything within four miles. The
