A Fathers Hoax.

A clergyman, widower, recently cre-
nted quite sensation in his household,
which consists Of seven grown up daugh.
ters. The reverend gentleman was absent
from home for number Of days, visit
ing in an adjoining county. The daugh-
ters received letter from their father,
which stated that he had married"
widow with six sprightly children" and
that he might be expecsed home at
certain time. The effect of the news
was great shock to the happy family.
The girls noted for their meeEness and
amiable tenperaments, seemed another
set Of beings; there was weeping and
wailing and tearing of hair, and all man.
ner of naughty things said. The tidy
house was neglected, and when the day
of arrival came the house was anything
but inviting. At last tho Rev. Mr.. x.
came, but he was alone. He greeted his
daughters as usual, and as he viewed the
neglected apartments there was merry
twinkle in his eye. The daughters were
nervous and evidently anxious. At last
the elder mustered mustered courage and
asked, "Whc.e is onr mother ?F "In
hea7en," said the good man. "But
where ia the widow with six children
whom you married?" "Why, married
her to another man, my dears," he re.
piled, highly delighted at the success of
his little joke.

Mourncrs Easily Consoled.

Many years ago, in one of the quiet
New Hampshire towns a young man
lived who lost his wife after only few
months of welded bliss He was incon-
solable over her loss, and one day his
pastor attempted to comfort him in the
presence Of company Of his towns peo.
pie, quoting the apostles words.
Wherefore these light Affections, which
are but for moment. work for US far
more exceeding and eternal weight Of
glory" but was promptly squelched by
the widower, who turned on him with a
look of scorn, and said:
"St. Paul didn't know anything about
it; he warrant married man"
He, however, found solace in a
blooming damsel, who, at demise
which occurred few years since, re-.
marked 20 sympathizing neighbo,
"Yes it was a terrible blow. could
have picked out forty men in town that
| should rather had died than my hus.
band"
But even she was not 30 inconsolable
as q certain school committeean in
Brooksville, Maine, aas, on the occasion
Of his wife's death. His inconsolable
sorrow could only be expressed by the
remark to sympathizing neighbor
'I'd rather have lost the best cow in my
barn."

John MOrgan's Last Raid.

In statement recently made to an In.
dianapolis newspaper, Andrew J. Camp.
bell, the Union soldier who killed tho
Confederate General, John a. Morgan,
Of Grecnvillc, Tennessee, narrated all
the circumstances OF Murgan's attempt
to escape and tho manner III which lie
shot him down, but he said he knew
nothing of the means by which his com.
mandcr learned :has Morgan was at
Grcenvillc. The missing information is
supplied by Edward S. Richards, grain
merchant i'll Chicago, who was Adjutant.
General OF Tennessee while Andrew
johnson WAS Military Governor of that
State.
John Williams was Tennesscean, but
IL Union sympathizer. He was man Of
wealth >ud education, and had very
bcautiful and accomplished wife, twenty
years his junior. Mrs. Williams was a
strong Union woman, and lost no oppor-
tunity to give aid or information to the
Union soldiers Mr.. aud Mrs. Will
liams residence was at G-eenville, about
fifty.siX miles from Bristol, where the
Confederate army was encamped. vii.
liams, with others of his townsmen, had
been compelled to leave home on account
of the strong feeling against them for
their Union sympathy, so that there was
no one at home but Mrs. Williams her
SELF.
On the night Before Mo7Gens death,
about o'clock, the quiet Of the Williams
house was disturbed by loud knock at
the door. Mrs. Williams went TO the
door and asked:
"Who is there?"
''John Morgan's men," was tho reply.
Knowing Morgan very we'll, Mrs.
Williams had no hesitation in admitting
those outside, particularly ns sudden
thought flashed through her mind, which
subsequently bore good fruit. Throwing
the door open, she bRde them enter and
welcome, and Morgan crossed the thres-
hold with three or four of his staff.
Mrs. Williams prepared a supper for
them. At the earliest opportunity to get
outside of tho house, she went to q
twelve.year old boy, whom she knew, and
gave him some instructions and a note.
The boy disappeared, and fifteen min
utcs later he rode cautiously out of town
on bay horse. When half mile away
he lashed his animal into run.
Unsuspicious and eonfdipg, Morgan
and his staff supped, and about l o'clock
retired to bed. They slept sonndly, and
dsy was jus. beginning to break whom
was heard the tramp Of feet, cry, a shot
and then all WIS still.
About eighteen miles from Greenville,
Gen. G. Gillem, of the Union army, was
encamped with brigade of 1900 sold
iers. Gen. Gillem was sleeping in his
tent at II o'clock, when n picket awaked
him and called him outside Ho found
the picket holding by the bride bay
horse whose flanks were bRthed in foam
and OH whose back was small boy.
The General asked the lad what he
wanted, and for an answer tho boy hand
ed Gillem note. 1t read:
Gen. Morgan and his staff, with n
small force Of men, are stopping at MY
house, and will remnin all night. II you
send II detachment of mon beioro sunrise
you may capture them.
Yours truly, MRS. JOHN WILLIAMS.
The boy was taken into Gilem's tent
and fed, and Immediately boots and sad :
dies was sounded, and six companies OF
cavalry, under Col. Ingerton, were
ordered to Grcenville.
