A GREY BEARD ARRESTS DRsERrERs =
We learn the following particulars Of the cap
ture of two deserters by Grey Beard in Ma
rion county: Two deserters from the 10th
Regiment, named James Brannon and John
Brannon, took refuge among their Copper
head brethren in the vicinity Of Red Rock,
Marion county. They publicly stated that
they would resist any officer sent to arrest
them. 1t Raglan sent his Sergeants to arrest
them, but they succeeded in keeping out Of
the way and could not be found. A few
days since Captain in the Grey Beard Reg
iment having discovered the whereabouts Of
the Brannons, assumed the responsibility Of
arrestipg them. They resisted. Shots were
exchanged. The Grey Beard was wounded
slightly in several places, and one of the de
serters was badly damaged by shot through
the lungs. The scamps surrendered. TIE
wounded deserter was at last accounts under
medical treatment, and the other was showed
off in irons to his regiment. The Grey Beard
did good job. His wounds are but triHing

Romantic AFFAR-SUIcIDE OF FEMALE
SoLDIER.-In some manner, which remains to
be explained, q young woman above 19 years
Of age, arrived at Cairo several days ago, with
the 18th Iowa, dressed in soldiers uniform,
and serving Capt. Crane, Of Go. A, in the
capacity of servant. She deported herself AS
male, attended theatre, and answered as
promptly to the subriqueit of Charley as if it
were really her name. On Saturday she at
tended the theatre, and took sest among
her fellow soldiers, but her disguise could not
conceal her sex from the searching eye Of the
Provost Marshal, Capt. Keller. her feminine
form and womanly ways were such, in his
estimation, as the sterner sex never wore or en-
ployed, and straightway he caused her to be
arrested. Capt. Crane saved her from incar-
ceration in the guard house, by promising
that she should adopt her proper apparel.
and be herself again. The secret leaked out,
and during Sunday, the boys in camp be-
came deeply interested. They gathered about
the Captains quarters to see her and to ex-
change conjectures, and to learn, if possible,
the wherefores connected with the presence of
their remarkable companion. The Colonel,
receiving an intimation of the affair, at once
determined to investigate it, and despatched
his Adjutant to push suitable inquiries. The
woman, discovering that her secret was out,
and that her presence IN such garb was the
theme for thousand tongues, determined to
put an end to her own existence, and that
Immediately. Accordingly she took up the
Captains revolver, stepped from his room,
and placing the muzzle to her heart, fired,
and fell corpse upon the open parade ground.
without groan or an exclamation. The ball
entered the breast between the 4th and 9Th
ribs, passed through the body, and lodged
under the skin close to the right side of the
spine, where it was found by the surgeon,
who held the post norton examination.
Coroner Corcoran held the inquest, but
could learn nothing respecting the young
woman's name, family or singular conduct.
The tragedy occurred about 81 o'clock Sum-

LITTLE CHARLIE d.

Ten'times have the violets bloomed on the hills,
And spring time Weakened the murmuring rillss
Since clasped to my heart with mothers deep
joy,
Ny boy. my precious, my beautiful boy.
How changed LIES scenes no mortsl may know
How mucl of the future 10 veiied in woe
kikean early spring flower too frail Tor the storm,
Our loYed one perished, in LIES early morn.
We folded his hands ON his sinless breast,
And then laid our darling boy down TO rest
On the green hill side. 'mong the wild flowers,
just when they came with spring. gentle showers
The elm and cedar over him wave,
The red buds fall in the spring on his grave;
And little birds meet in the boughs to sing,
And the song seems sad, like funeral hymn.
The home he has left is desolate now;
In vain try in submission to bow,
And say it's well. though my hearthopes are
crushed,
And my only child lieth low in the dust.
But remember the pathway Of life,
Winding through regions OF sorrow ana StriIe,
Where the snares ofthe temple: are srtfully LAID,
And the pleasures of sin 'gainst ' rtue srrayed !;
Where hopes of the heart are withered and
crushed,
And the aoul robbed Of it's beautiful trust
Mind seeking in vain for communion with mind,
For spirits congenial pure and refined.
Then think of that land, sinless and bright,
The redeemed arrsysd in garments Of white,
Where sin cannot enter the soul to dehle-
And that blessed land is the home OF my child.
On the green banks Of life's flowing river,
With the sweet infant band he's saved forever;
eli NIT oh
May meet him ere long on that happy shore.

AN ARTIFICIAL PALATE.-We witnessed
yesterday, at the dental rooms of DR.. Kulp,
the operation of replacing the human palate
with an artificial one, apparently as good in
all respects as the natural palate.
The patient was soldier in the 9th ILL
nois, named Joel L. Woodward. He was
wounded at the battle of Murfreesboro, by a
mimic ball entering the left side of the nose
and coming out at the lower part of the neck,
carrying away the palate and making wide
opening between the mouth and nasal cham.
Der, so that on attempting to drink the water
would run out at the nose. The wound had
entirely healed up, but left the inconvenient
opening above spoken Of. This the skill of
DR.. Kulp has succeeded in remedying by the
construction of an artificial palate of rubber,
upon which are attached three front teeth to
supply the place of those'carried away with
the palate. This successful operation is a
striking example of the triumph of science,
as well as proof of the skill of our young
friend DR.. Kulp.-Daily, 25th.
