A TOUCHING WAR INCIDENT.
The Story of the Friendship of Gen. Barlow
and Gen, Gordon,


Gath in New York Tribune.
The ex-Confederate General Gordon told
me an interesting story about two interviews
he held with General Barlow. At Sharps-
burg, Barlow was apparently MORALLY
wounded and fell into Gordon's hands. Cor
don took liking to him and asked him if he
could not do something for him. Il think
not General" said the young man; Il shall
be buried here, no doubt. l do not expect
to live. But you can do one thing for me;
here is a package of letters from my wife
which l wish you to destroy before my
eyes" Gordon, who was then young man
also took the letters and was about to de-
stroy them when Barlow, with bubble at
his throat, murmured: ''Would you take
the trouble to read me one of them first?
Any one will do" Gordon opened one
of the letters and read it to the dying man
his last friendly words, perhaps from home.
Then the letters were destroyed. But the
incident touched Gordon so that he made IA
special exertion to have Barlow sentthrough
the lines or to have his wife admitted to
him. This being done, the two armies fell
apart and these men saw each other no
| more. Gordon considered Barlow to be
dead. Barlow had also seen that a General
Gordon had been killed somewhere. They
met again at friendly table in Washington,
but did not know each other through the
changes of time. After some lapse Gordon
said: General Barlow, are you relative
of that Barlow who was killed at AnteIam?''
NO" said the General, II am the same
man. Are you any relative" inquired Bar
low in turn, 'of that General Gordon who
was recently killed on the Confederate side?'
THAT was my cousin; l am John B. Cor
dom" Then at the request of the persons
who overheard, Barlow told the tale amid
tears and emotion on every side.

The mystery of Newton was an old man,
dwarfish in stature, and deformed, who kept

games OF cards; and the other watchful and
tender solicitude for the welfare of his
daughter the only being for whom he ever
showed any respect or affection. She was a
beautiful girl, bright, intelligent and appar-
emily loved the crooked old miser. He was
educated and taught her from books, in n
building half tent and half shanty that
stood behind his gampling-house She did
the cooking and was seldom seen except
when he was with her. Every luxury that
could be secured on the inhospitable frontier
was seized for the girl by the old man, and
the only money he was ever known to ex-
pend from the large quantities he gathered
in was for her benefit.
The story went that she was his only child,
and that he had come West to make his for

Among the various preparations for the

meantime be repres in st. Petersburg
by delegation only. On the plain which is
partly occupied by the buildings of the re-

distribution of 10000 pies to the Moujiks,
and sixteen vats, to hold 100000 bottles of

WASHINGTON March 6.-Of the 325 repre-

new members, only lat members of the For
ty-seventh Congress having been reelected.
The Democrats Will have between 191 and 1876
votes, and of this number small majority
will represent the Northern States. Nobody
seems to know what the new House will be
like; but if the new members-elect who have
drifted in during the winter are like the
rest, it will be spectacle on which the
country will gaze with horror. Generally
speaking, the newborn statesmen who have
shown themselves in Washington are de-
cidedly off color, and if appearances are to be
trusted they will convert Congress into an
exaggerated Indiana Democratic Legislature.

on his corporation connections to help him
along. The contest for the speakership Will

wild Scheme to Save the Owners of
Bonded Whisky from Loss.
Washington Special to New York Herald.
1t is reported that there is movement on
foot among the whisky men now in Wash
ington to form a combination among the
owners of the large quantity of whisky in
bond, bankers and Others interested in
spirits, to remove the bonded whisky from
the United States-Hond being named
as the probable destination. The whisky, it
is said, can be transported at small cost down
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New
Orleans, and thence shipped to foreign
port, which will relieve the owners of all re-
sponsibility to the government, the
law allowing the expectation of
Spirits which, if it comes back to the United
States pays only the internal revenue tax
on the actual amount in the package. 1t is
claimed that the Improvement of the whisky
and the saving of tax on leakage and shrink
age would make this profitable enterprise
and save from embarrassment the present
holders of the immense quantity OF whisky
over produced in this country during the
past few years, as we'll as the capitalists and
bankers " no have become interested in the
article as collateral on advancements and
loans. 1t will be remembered that whisky
now in bond will have to be taken out from
month to month, which cannot be done
without gr eat loss to the owners. The pro-
ject seems to be wild one, but it is said is
actually being considered by responsible
business men and capitalists.

decision AGAINST the Mutual union.

CHICAGO, H., March 6.-The motion for
an injunction to restrain the city from inter
fering with the Mutual Union Telegraph
Company i'll recommending its wires cut by
our mayor some days since, came before the
United States Circuit Court to-day After
hearing the argument Judge Drummond
held that the Mutual Union company having
come into the city on an agreement that its
wires should be laid under ground before
March 1, 1883, it must abide by the terms of
that contract that its right to carry wires on
poles expired by limitation. On the other
hand the mayor of the city, in causing the
wires to be cut, did an unlawful act. His
course properly was to apply to the court for
adjudication on the contract. While owing
the expiration of the contract the court de-
clined to issue the Injunction the terms of
which would allow the wires to be connected
again, he would, if the plaintiff desired, to
restrain the city from any further summary
interference with its property.
Mayor Harrison says the decision leaves
nothing to do but to station force of police
at the point where the wires were cut to pre-
vent the company reconnecting them. Su-
perintendent Chapman of the Mutual Union,
said that under the ruling of the court the
company could sue the city for damages

vania. Senator Cameron is already chair
man of the committee on naval affairs, and
it is quite possible he may wish to retain that
committee, a decision which will give Senator
Harrison the committee on military affairs,
instead of the committee on Territories,

Athens Corresnondence London Standard
Every Friday-the Turkish Sabbath
prayers for the Sultan are read in all
mosques During divine service last Friday
at the Mosque of Sultan Achmet, one Of the
finest buildings in the capital, the imaum or
priest mounted the pulpit to perform this
duty at moment when the sacred edifice
was crowded with the faithful. The priest
was on the point of reciting the prayer in
question when suddenly sofia
or religious student, who had followed him
up the steps of the pulpit, drew yataghan,
which he had concealed in the folds of his
garment, and, exclaiming in loud voice,
what! you would pray for man who is
bringing this country to ruin?' split his head
open. The congregation looked on aghast
while the assassin quietly descended from
the pulpit, seemingly indifferent about max
ing his escape, and remarked that Abdul
Hamid had no right to be the chief of the
faithful, as he had not fulfilled any of the
obligations of his position. No attempt was
made by those present to arrest him, and
some even attempted to favor his escape
The assassin was ultimately captured by the
police, and by the Sultans orders removed to
Yildiz Kiosk where he is confined pending
his examination.

in the aniline dye case, which involved set
tlement for $4,000 of the suit brought by the
government for an undervaluation on dye

promise if the case was brought to trial.
The Solicitor of the Treasury also recon-
mended acceptance of the compromise. Dis

Errors in the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON March 6.-Mr. Mcpherson,
clerk of the House of Representatives, says
there are very many typographical and cler-
ical errors in the tariff bill as it appeared in
the Congressional Record.
The tax on tobacco is printed so instead of
cents, and in the iron schedule there is a
clause which was not printed in the Record
at all. He is of opinion that when the bill
shall be'accurately printed in full it will be
found more satisfactory than it seems to be
to representatives of the iron interest.
