When Confederate Money Was EASY

I Money was SO easily got, and its value
was SO utterly uncertain, that we were
never able to determine what was a fair
price for anything. We FELL into the
habit OF paying whatever was Nasked,
knowing that to- morrow we should have
to pay more. Speculation became the
easiest and ssurest thing imaginable.
The speculator saw no risks of loss.
Every artlclessof merchandise rose in
value every day, and to buy ANYTHING
| this week and sell it next was to make
an enormous profit quite as matter of
course. So uncertain were prices, or
rather SO constantly did they lend 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 speculatlng upon an immediate ad-
vance. He became the purchaser. at
auction, of case of the goods, and had
no dithculty, 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
the Confederacy, and L find that mem
ory fails to answer the question salts
factorily. They were about as high as
they could be in the fall of 1868, 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 a 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 a little coun-
try store, found there one pair of boots
which fitted him. He inquired the
price. s'Two hundred dollars" said
the merchant. A five hundred dollar
bill was offered, but the merchant, hay-
ing no smaller bills, could not change
it. "Never mind," said the cavalier.
"I'l take the boots anyhow. Keep
the change I never let little matter
of three hundred dollars stand in the
way of trade
That was on the day before Lees
surrender, but it would not have been
an impossible occurrence at any time
during the preceding year. The money
was of SO little value that we parted
with it gladly whenever it would pur-
chase anything at all desirable. Icheer-

A Reformed Prlze-Fighter.

The London Times says s. Bendi-
co. formerly well-known prize
fighter and champion of England de-
li7ered religious address recently to
a crowded audience at the London
Cabmen's Mission Hall at Kings Cross.
Mr.. John Dupee, the superintendent of
the mission. former companion of
Bendigo at Nottingham, conducted the
services. The reporters state that
Bendigo, who is now So years of ace.
stands as straight as dart, and his
address is described as simple. though
coarse He said he was the youngest
of twenty-one children, and, his father
dying when he was Is, he was placed in
the workhouse. He began fighting
when he was 16 years of age, and gave
it up when he was 40. Two years ago.
after spending his time alternately in
police cells, the prize ring and the
public house, he was converted as if by
q miracle. Ever since he had been the
happiest man alive, and he should be
happier still if he could only read the
Bible for himself"

ScurriIous Postal.Caras.

Did Mr.. Moses Chamberlain. of New
York, receive the full penalty provided
by law for his offense, he would con-
template imprisonment for 14O wears.
and pay fLe of $4,000. There are
one or two triding natural reasons why
the penalty should be mitigated, and It
probably will, but Ia order that young
men of Mr.. Chamberlain's peculiar
views of decency and fitness may be
warned In time to avoid similar conse-
quences, perhaps his offense deserves q
passing notice. Mr.. Chamberlain, being
in want of money, wrote q scurriIous
letter to MIR. Van Valkenburg on postal
card. The recipient, being of q hard.
unsympathetic disposition, placed the
berlain's track, and secured his arrest
and Indictment. The case was tried in
the United States Circuit Court, and.
despite the defense that only the post
office clerks saw the contents of the
cards, and were bound to secrecy. Mr..
Chamberlain was convicted of sending
fourteen of these agreeable effusions
through the mails. The greatest PEN
atty for each offense is ten years i'm
prisonment and fine of $5, 900, and the
least, one years imprisonment and 800
fine. This is the first trial in New York
under the law making it crime to send
scurrilous postal.cards through the
mails. Mr.. Chamberlain may not live
to serve out his full term, but it must
be infinitely consoling to think of him
self as frightful warning 90 black
mailers who try to make Uncle Sam an
accessory.

s.HOsTILE MEETING.v


Between
rous mObilians.
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, a little way from Grand
Bay, but in the State of Mississippi.
The gentlemen were Mr.. A. n. Tardy,
the insurance agent, and DIR. Benjamin
D: Lay, the actuary of the Grangers'
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. Y. H." making
with which DR.. Lay is connected. On
Monday DIR. Lay met Mr.. Tardy and
asked him if he was the author of a
communication signed "X. Y. a." in
the Spectator. Mr.. Tardy said he was,
whereupon DR.. Lay slapped his face.
A few words passed between them,
aud then Mr.. Tardy sent to DIR. Lay a
written message, demanding satisfac-
tion for the insult, and referring to
Col. James Williams as authorized to
make any necessary arrangements.
Ihe message was answered, granting
any satisfaction demanded, aud refer
ring to Capt. P. NJ Murphy as author
lied, on the part of DIR. 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 DR.. 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, are you
ready? Fire one, two, three" At
the word one, sharp report was heard.
Tardy's pistol fell from his hand, he
clasped his breast convuls1vely, and
fell-a corpse. DR.. Lay returned to the
city Immediately, and was met on Gov
ernment 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 Elated Over Be-
coming q Millionaire.

We stated yesterday, on the authority
of street rumor, that an uncle of
Michael Hogan, of West Troy, died re-
Gently in Pennsylvania, leaving coal
lands valued at SIS, 900, 600, to portion
of which Michael ls heir. The rumor
was correct. Forty years ago Michael
Hogan, then 81 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,
hard-working, Industrious Young man,
finally took up his residence in West
Troy. The uncle went to Pottsville,
Pa, or that vicinity, and, after labor
ing number of years, purchased with
his earnings a 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 truthfu1ly 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 of the
time of his death, which occurred few
days ago, he was worth about S., 600
600. Last week Michael received in
formation from an attorney that 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
amount mentioned above would
only bring trouble and disgrace upon
his family eventually, as young people
nowadays did not know how to spend

washington, DO. (Dec. ~, Cor. Chicago Tribune.l
The Rev. j. M. Cooms, pastor of the
Western Presbyterian Church of this
ity. committed suicide here this morn
ng under extraordinary circumstances.
A Sunday paper contained the following
paragraph For many months the
store of a prominent bookseller has been
visited by man well on In years. and
neatly dressed, after the fashion of
minist ,r Of the gospel. He would walk
around the store, examining books,
reading passages, but never making
purchase. Lately our stationer has
missed books, and all attempts to find
how they were taken failed, until yester-
day, when the clerical looking gentle
man was discovered to be the kleptO-
maniac. He was standing In the store
quietly reading book he had taken,
when customer entered, upon whom
the proprietor turned to wait. The
instant his back was turned the gospel
gentleman left the store. The stationer
Immediately followed him, and, coming
up, asked what he did with
that book. The reverend gentleman
turned palec, and with the exclama-
ton For Gods sake, don't expose me
publicly brought forth the stolen
book from under his coat. That
clergyman was j. M. Cooms. This
morning his congregation at the fash
ionable West End assembled at the
usual time. The hour for services
came, but the pastor was absent. A
messenger was dispatched to his apart
ment. The door was barred. The
messenger forced the door to find the
dead body of Cooms in his chamber,
with his throat 80 terribly cut that the
head was nearly severed from the body.
The messenger, horror-stricken, an
nounced the fact to the congregation.
Subsequent inquiry discleses the fol-
ored and successful clergymen for
quarter of a century, at first in the
Methodist, and lately in the Presby-
terian denomination. Cooms' wife for
some years has been insane. The
calamity has at times clouded his mind
There were no children. For some
weeks the old family maid-servant has
noticed that Cooms was unusually de-
pressed and exhibited symptoms similar
to those which were manifested in the
early stages of Mrs. Cooms' insanity.
This morning, for the first time in very
many years, Cooms ordered all the Sun
day papers purchased and brought to
him before church. The papers were
found in his room carefully examined.
the one containing the above paragraph
had last been read, and lay on top as if
this paragraph had been carefully read.
The suicide, according TO the account
OF time, must have speedily followed
the reading. There was SO much
method, however, in the madness that
a considerable quantity of government
bonds were found carefully arranged
upon the table near the fatal newspaper.
The clergyman was a man of property.
The throat was cut with two razors, and
the work was thoroughly done.

ANOTHER cremation ceremony has
been successfully performed in Dros-
den, in the same oven in which the bo(lv
the of wife of Sir Charles Dixie was
lately consumed. No clergyman could
be found to peform the burial cere-
mony, and q brief and impressive
speech was delivered by q layman. The
cremation was perfectly successful
with nothing to offend the senses. The
impregnable logic of the arguments 81
the cremationists is strengthening the
