AS the last rays of the set

shone upon two big tears, that
slowly trickled down either

the road until he was joined by
more battered veterans,
who came out from a corner of
the fence. Two of them bore a

others had their arms full Of

An exchange revives thi

The good old lady brought
out a black bottle, from which
the battered veteran poured out
a teaspoonful into a glass of wa
ter, and took vigorous pull at
the bottle when her back was
turned. Then she placed be-
fore him substantial supper
of ham and eggs and corn bread
and coffee, upon which he ad-
vanced in gallant style.
'And you are mighty young
to be soldierin' }" she said,
looking at him benignantly
over her spectacles.
Yes mum, I am the only son

III But the path was not always
7easy. A regiment was sent TO
tho camp where she was labor
ing, under Col. S., who was
a skeptic, and opposed every ef-
fort she made to circulate relig-
ious papers among his men. As
a gentleman, he could not pos
itively prohibit her effort, but
when requested to furnish an
escort, he sent her to oRs of his
captains, who, when found, was
intoxicated. This he did sup
posing she would be dsgusted,
and discontinue the effort. Not
so, however; Mrs. B--m not
only accepted his services, but
while he was busy Introducing G
her with drunken hesitancy,
quietly scattered the precious
words of life through tent after
tent, among eager sppreciative
men, who were only too glad to
receive and read them.
AS soon as Col, S. found
that Mrs. B-m was sue
ceeding, he sent a messenger
upon her track to gather up all
the tracts she had distributed,
and returned them to her with
the message, that che did not
want his men MADE either fools
or towards" l."
But Gods providence was
mightier than he. God can
make the wrath of men to
praise him, and the remainder
he will restrain.
Just at this time, a pious
Lieutenant came with his reg
iment to the camp, and hearing
what Col. S. had done.
quietly came to Mrs. B-m
for the returned tracts and cir
culated them among the SOL }
diers. They began also to hold
in the evening,
but owing to the opposition few
attended.
One day a sad accident oc-
Cured, by which a soldier in
lost his life, producing
a saddened feeling among the
men. The time for the funeral
came, but they had no chaplain
tJ conduct religious service
As they, stood sadly around,

is there any one here that can
make a prayer ?" Immediately A..
Lieut.. T stepped forward {
Ind made an address and offer c
ID a prayer to God, asking his l
blessing upon distant friends S

a Fort Sill, Indian Territory, cor
respondent tells the following Us to tho
recent interviews between the convict
kiOwa Chiefs Satanta and Big Tree and
their long unseen wives, children and
other rCintives:
Affecting as the sccno was, 1t wound
up with rather ludicfous incident.
Satanta's youngest wife sidlcd up to
him, and after unwraping enormous
folds Of buffalo robe and blanket from
what looked very like the old budget Of
an itinerant tinker, she rather Inorosely
plucked his sleeve, and pointing to q
sleeping papoose scarce six months old,
desired him to stIoOk at his son." For
an instant the chiefs neither jaw fell an
inch Or two, rubbed his scalp-lock, look
ed reflective, and 1 have no doubt mem
tally repeated In choice Kiowy, "Who's
Peen here since I'se peen gone !" His
discomfit, however, was momentary
and like u sensible savage concluding
that "to bic sad about trifies was only {
foiiy,' he tossed his head, laughed, ant
said his heart felt good to see all hi
folks around him.

The political campaign in Virginia
is waxing hot. Alta recent discussion
between Kemper and Hughes, the can-
ditiates for Governor, and Withers and
Chandler, candidates for Lieutenant
Governor, the former spoke, saying the
contest they were about entering was to
decide what sort OF government should
exist in Virginia, and he didn't think
it was question in which Gen. Grant
or national politics had anything to do.
He attacked tho Republican party and
its candidates, declaring that they had
thought by secret organization to carry
the black man against the whites, and
were still trying to do SO. He said the
speech of Col. Hughes at Lynchburg
was the most incendiary document ever
issued in Virginia. In referring to the
candidates he said: "And Ramsdale
will return to his carpctbag retirement,
and Hughes, who was the great cdito-
rial champion of slavery, will be de-
feated." s,
