When Confederate Money Was Easy.

Money was so easily got, and its value
was so utterly uncertain, that we were
never abe to determine what was fair
price for anything. We fell into the
habit of paying whatever was asked,
knowing that tomorrow we should have
to pay more. Speculation became the
easiest and surest thing imaginable.
The speculator saw no risks of loss.
Every article of merchandise rose in
value every day, and to buy anything
this week and sell it next was to make
an enormous profit quite as a matter of
course. So uncertain were prices, or
rather so constantly did they tend up
ward, that when a cargo of cadet gray
cloths was brought into Charleston
once, an officer in my battery, attending
the sale, was able to secure enough of
the cloth to make two suits of clothes,
without any expense whatever, merely
by specializing upon an immediate ad-
vance. He became the purchaser, at
auction, of case of the goods, and had
no difficulty, as soon as the sale was
over, In finding a merchant who was
glad to take his bargain off his hands,
giving him the cloth he wanted as a
premium. The officer could not posi-.
bly, have paid for the case of goods, but
there was nothing surer than that he
could sell again at an advance the mo-
ment the auctioneer's hammer fell on
the last lot of cloths.
am sometimes asked at what time
prices attained their highest point in

they could be in the fall of 1863, and I
should be disposed to fix upon that as
the time when the climax was reached,
but for my consciousness that the law
of constant appreciation was fixed one
throughout the war. The financial con-
dition got steadily worse to the end. I
believe the highest price, relatively, I
ever saw paid, was for pair Of boots.
A cavalry officer, entering little coun-

which fitted him. He inquired the

"HOSTILE MEETING"
An Affair of Honor Between Two Chival-
rOus mObiliaus.


A Mobile telegram to an Atlanta
paper gives the appended particulars
of one of those pleasant little pistol
affairs for which that locality has be-
come famous
There was hostile meeting between
two well-known gentlemen of this city
yesterday noon, little way from Grand
Bay, but in the State of Mississippi.
The gentlemen were Mr.. A. II. Tardy,
the insurance agent, and DR.. Benjamin
ID. Lay, the actuary of the Changers
Life and Health Insurance Company.
The origin, as we understand, arose
from letter from this city to promi-
nent Northern insurance journal, over
the signature of X. 7. H." making
some comments upon the new company
with which DR.. Lay is connected. On
Monday DR.. Lay met Mr.. Tardy and
communication signed "X. 7. H., in
the Spectator. Mr.. Tardy said he was,
whereupon DIR. Lay slapped his face.
A few words passed between them,
and then Mr.. Tardy sent to DR.. Lay
written message, demanding satisfac-
ton for the insult, and referring to
Col. James Williams as authorized to
make any necessary arrangements.
The message was answered, granting
any satisfaction demanded, aud refer
ring to Capt. P NJ Murphy as author
lied, on the part of DR.. Lay, to ar
range matters. The result was the
choice of dueling- pistols, the meeting
to be out of the State. the distance ten
PAGES. and the time Wednesday noon.
Mr. Tardy and his friends left on Tues
day night. and repaired to Grand Bay,
and DIR. Lay and his friends left on
Wednesday morning for the same place.
The parties met, as by agreement,
and took carriages and drove until they
were over the line and in Mississippi.
AS it was agreed upon fer noon as the
time, there was no choice for position.
The distance was measured off, the
antagonists placed, and the dread
question asked, Gentlemen, ere you
ready? Fire. one, two, three" AT
the word one, q sharp report was heard.
Tardy's pistol fell from his hand, he
clasped his breast convnlsiyely, and
fell-a corpse. DIR. Lay returned to the
city Immediately, and was met on Gov
eminent street by gentleman who,
not knowing the duel had taken place,
jokingly asked the doctor whom he was
going to shoot? Bursting into tears,
he exclaimed, My God don't ask me
anything about It.

A Man Who Wasn't EIated Over Be.
coming a Millionaire.
Washington Cor. New York Graphic.

We stated yesterday, on the authority
of a street rumor, that an uncle OF
Michael Hogan, of West Troy, died re-
Gently In Pennsylvania, leaving coal
lands valued at So, ZOO, 600, to portion
of which Michael is heir. The rumor
was correct. Forty years ago Michael
Hogan, then p years of age, and an
uncle, the only survivors of a once
numerous family, came to this country
and adopted it as their own. Michael,
a Woodworking, industrious Young man,
finally took up his residence in West
Troy. The uncle went to Pottsville,
Pa, or that vicinity, and, after labor
ing a number of years, purchased with
his earnings large tract of land.
Michael also saved money, and in the
course of time laid by enough to start
himself in the grocery business, in
which it can be truthfully said he has
prospered. The venture of his uncle
turned out to be most profitable one.
The lands purchased by him were found
to contain abundance of coal, and by
judicious management he gradually in
creased his earthly store until at the
time of his death, which occurred few
days ago, he was worth about So, 600
600. Last week Michael received in
formation from an attorney thai his
uncle, with whom he had not communi.
Gated for sixteen years, had died, and
that he was his only surviving her.
Michael was not at all elated at this an
nouncement, and appeared rather sorry
in fact that such good fortune had come
to him. He was getting old, he said,
and would not want SO much money
besides he had enough for himself, wife
and daughter, and the possession of the
immense amount mentioned above would
only bring trouble and disgrace upon
his family eventually, as young people
nowadays did not know how to spend
money.-Troy (N. " Times.

How to Furnish q House.

The New York Times draws picture
of the time when our houses shall be
furnished as they should be: "Heavy
rugs will partly cover the polished
floors. Paper of some neutral tint, free
from glaring figures, will stretch from
the richly-colored dado st the bottom
TO the gay border at the top. The
picture-rod will not be of the eternal
gilt that wearies us now. It win be
painted some decided color that will
harmonic with the prevailing shade of
the whole room. Before the windows
and before the doors which open out
ward. curtains, heavy in texture and
subdued in tone, edged with strong
lace, will hang from wooden rings which
move freely on q slender wooden rod
fastened to the sheathing. Rings and
rod will be OF the hue of the picture
rod above. TIE sir gle curtain before
each opening will be Topped to one side;
low bookcases, not over three feet high,
dark wood relieved by a few chiseled
designs picked out in color, viii line
the wall. No glass doors will disfgure
them. One general pattern, varied in
each piece, will stamp the furniture.
Last and greatest, an open wood-fire,
either, in fireplace or in one OF the
Franklin stoves which still Turk in the
garrets of old country houses, win cast
its CHEEKY light over everything. The
close stove, the register, the CRATE, and
the radiator, will be tabooed. The
blaze of wood burning across brazen
and irons is something so beautiful that
no artist has ever succeeded in painting
it. The first of all hints on household
tastes should be: Have an open wood
fire in the room in which you mean to
ive."

A GENTLEMAN in a Western city sit

which we had from the beginning, that
we love one another" After reading
it she stuck the pin through the fol-

IRELAND is of late years making a
very considerable showing in court
statistics. The indictable offenses in
that country are annually becoming re-
duced in numbers to q marked degree.
The past years statistics show IA less
offenses than the year before, and 1928
less than ten years ago. Strange as it
may seem, the number of criminal
breaches of the peace in Ireland has
been Is per cent. lower than in the rest
of Great Britain for five years. The
general condition of the people of Ire
land is also said to be steadily improv-
ing.

Our foreign grain market is steadil
enlarging. In 1928 England and her
dependencies took almost all the wheat
we had to export. Last year we
shipped Is per cent. to other markets,
France buying 1850, 900 bushels, Bel
GUM, $3.50, 900, and the Netherlands
upward of 100000. Germany, too.
bought six times as much as she did
during the preceding season. 1t is ev-
ident that our Western farmers need
not contract their wheat acreage yet,
spite of the nearer proximity of the
Russian and Hungarian grain regions
to the consumers.-Pittsburgh Com

JANE.
BY MORA PERRY.

She came along the little lane
Where all the bushes dripped with rain,
AND robins sung and sung again,
As If with sudden. sheer delight,
For snch n world so fresh and bright,
To SWING and sing in day and night
But, coming down the little lane,
She did not heed the robins strain,
Nor feel the sunshine after rain.
A little face with two brown eyes,
A little form of tender size,
little head not very wise;
A little heart to match the head.
A fooiish little heart, that bled
At every foolish word was said.
So, coming down the little lane
Isee her now. my little Jane
Her foolish heart with foolish pain
Was sching. aching in her breast,
And all her pretty golden crest
Was dropping as If sore opprest.
And something, too, of snger's trace
Was on the flushed and frovvning face,
And IN the footsteps quickened pace.
So swift she slept, so low she !eant
Her pretty head, thought intent,
She scarcely saw the way she went,
Nor saw the long. slim shadow fall
Across the little, how stone wall.
As some one rose up slim and tall
Rose I'D, and came to meet her there.
youth. with something in his air
That, at a glance, revealed his share
In al this foolish, girlish pain.
This grief and anger and disdain,
That rent the heart of little Jane.
With hsstier steps than hers he came,
And In q moment called her name;
And IN q moment, red as flame,
6he blushed and blushed, and in her ewes
sudden, soft and shy surprise
Did suddenly and softly rise.
"What. you ?" che cried, st thought-they said y
Then stopped. aud blushe1 deeper red,
And lifted upher dropping head,
Shook back her lovely falling hair,
And arched her neck. and strove to wear
A nonchaant and scornful air.
A mon ent thus they held apart,
With lovers love and lovers art;
Then swift he caught her to his heart.
What pleasure then was born of pain
What sunshine after cloud and rain,
As they forgsve and kissed again
Twas April then he talked OF Nav
And planned therein a wedding day;
She blushel, but scarcely said him nay
What pleasure now is mixed with pain.

IT has been sagaciously remarked
that woman's only reason for any
thing is because" This theory is
borne out by the way the girls operate
with counterfeit notes which come under
their hands in the Treasury Department.
Gen. Spinner, who has had twelve
years experience in the work, says they
are worth ten times as much as the men
for such business. "A man always has
a reason for a counterfeit" says the
General, forty, maybe, but he is
wrong half the time. A woman never
has reason. She says tbs counterfeit
because it is counterfeit, and she is al
ways right though she could not tell
how she found out if she were to be
hung for it.
