along as q trusted servant. He went
with him into Virginia, and returned
home in 1868, In February or Marchof
that year faithful spy was needed to
visit the Federal gunboats then coming
down the river on Fort Pemberton.
Peyton at once undertook the mission,
and representing himself as fugitive
slave to the commanders of the boats,
was well received Being bright far be.
yond ordinary, he managed to secrete
their official papers, maps, etc, and es.
caped with these documents TO Fort
Pembcrton. After the fall Of Vicksburg,
IN July following, Payton went with his
young master again to Virginia, where
he remained until the surrender of Gen.
Lee. The former, being compelled TO
remain number of DAYS thereafter, in
order to comply with the formalties of
the surrender. sent Peyton ahead OF hun
| to his home, near Carrollton, Miss. On
| his way, however, he was betrayed to
| the enemy by some Confederate. as the
| spy who had deceived them above Fort
| Pemberton, was captured and carried in
irons 10 New York, thence To Cuba, and
| sold as n slave, together with many
others. The vessel on which he was
taken was a Federal gunboat. In Cuba
he worked as slave in factories for
nearly fifteen years, being entirely cut
of from all communication with home
and friends. lie made seven attempts
to escape from bondage, all but the last,
IF course, being unsuccessful. Finally
he found an American vessel, command.

and forced exile. and begged TO he re-
turned 10 his home and family. The
| captain secrctcd him in the hold Of hB

to New York. Peyton then worked his
way To Virginia, wherc-a number Of
ladies raised the means to return HIM 10
his home after an absence ol seventeen
years, He reached Winona, Mississippi,
on the 18th of April, 1880 Payton says
that numbers of Mulatto women are
being sold in Cuba rs slaves. Northern
men marry them, take them TO Cuba on
bridal tour" and there sell them as
cooks and fancy house servants. He
saw one sold last fall by the man who
had married her for $500; and further,
that as he came through Cincinnati on
his way home, he saw the man, and
recognized him. who sold her IN Cuba.
The facts above given are from one OF
the most reliable and responsible gentle
men in Mississippi, written to distln-
guished member of Congress from that

The saying that honesty is the bes,
policy does not betoken any very high
degree of morality, but it seems that the

officials of speculative turn of mind

and other more recent delinquents, in

Of warning do not seem to have wholly
taken effect. By the probable defalca-
ton of the cashier and acting cashier of
the First National Bank of Newark, the
public and depositers will in all proba-
bility lose nothing. The directors are
too sound financially to let any loss fall
on their depositors. But the men who
have fed to Europe, upon them will
come the real loss, which appears to have
seized upon the chief culprit already,
which the possession of no amount OF

The Wrong Man.

Some weeks ago the body of well.
dressed young man was found at Konigs.
winter on the Rhine. The presence of
revolver and his shattered head were
thought TO indicate suicide. In one OF
his pockets was found card bearing the
name OF Max Neuhaus. A family resi-
dent in Rhineland. whose son had lett
home eight years before for America and
who was in prosperous circumstances in
Chicago, identified the body as that of
the absent one, who, no doubt, had in
tended to surprise his neither and sisters
by an unexpected visit They recognized
even the ring he used to wear as that of
his deceased grandmother. Why. how
ever, had he only few marks in his
pocket, while they knew their brother
to be thriving MANI 1t turned out
that Neuhaus had been at a tavern in
company with another young man, and
accordingly suspicion Of murder was
aroused. His companion was discover
ed and arrested. He recognized the
body as that of his friend, clerk in an
Office at Essen, who had been in low
spirits on account Of family misfortunes
and whom he had suddenly missed as
they were returning home from Konigs-
winter. The Neuhaus family at once
sent cable dispatch to Chicago and re-
ceived an answer that their son was still
there and in perfect good health. As
there was no further question as to the
suicide of the young man, his friend was
Of course forthwith set at liberty.
