STRANGER rHAN rIcrIoN.
4 "Reminiscences of Interest About Sherman.
March to the Sea.

Trinity, Tex, Correspondence Houston Post.
Some strange facts have recently come to light
in this section of the country In 1864 Just
twenty years ago, there was commanding d regi-
ment IN Shermans army certain Col. j. c. Nc
Cullogh.
This officer was with General Sherman in his
noted March to the Sea, and no soldier under
the General endeavored more strictly to carry
out the design of the campaign, which was, as
the federal commander declared, ito leave the
country through which he marched in such de-
7Gstated condition that a crow, in flying over
would be compelled to carry his rations"
On a certain night during this campaign,
Colonel McCullogh gave orders to his regiment
which resulted in the burning of a certain Mr.
Johnsons residence, and the exposure of Mr.
Johnsons family to the rigors of "a winter night
Penness-ieft without a crust of bread or a
shelter for his wife and children-the old mans
condition was such as would make the truest
bravest heart quail
In his desperation, johnson sought the quart
ers of the officer whose men had destroyed his
property and made his family penniless. To the
colonel of the regiment, who was none other
than MeCullogh, the old man stated his case
hoping that in some way Colonel Mccullough
might secure him relief, Mccullough gave John
son a certificate setting forth the fact that the
old ''Southerner'sn property had been unjustly
destroyed by 'tho men in blue"
The following day Gen Sherman met the old
man and approved the certificate. Whether or
not johnson ever benefited thereby is not
at present known. At the close of the
war Mccullough located in iowa, where he en-
gagged in the practice of law. In that State he
elected a member of the Legislature, but
becoming involved in some fraudulent course
concerning pensions Mccullough skipped
for Texas.
Immediately succeeding the rebellion Johnson
removed to Texas, but died soon after He, how
ever left son, who is now a justice of the peace
at our county-seat
Right here it should be stated that when Nc
Cullogh pulled up stakes" and came to the
Lone Star State" he changed his name to J. c.
Mcconnell, and under that name was elected
county attorney of this county. In this capacity
Mcdonnell has served since September. 1887
For the last few months he has given himself
entirely to the demon of intoxication, and, on
last Sunday, he succumb to the demands of
death, dying in the house of johnson, whose
fathers property he had been the
means of destroying just twenty years
ago That j. G. Mccullough and
J. G.. Mcconnell We're one and the same party
was not known by johnson until after Neon
nell's death. Upon examination of the attor-
ney's papers, however. the fact was discovered
Mr.. Sloan, of Groveton, was in McCulloghs
regiment during the war. and has known the
identity of Mcconnell and McCullogh for the
past six months. He, for some reason, did not
divulge the fact until Mcconnell died Well has
it been said, Truth is stranger than fiction"

That there are romances as touching in negro
life as were ever told Is proven by the story Of

Levi belonged to Mr.. Sparks. who then resided
III Morgan county. In the same county lived
DIR. e. f. Jones. Among DR.. Joness slaves was
a tue-lOoking mulatto girl, whose smile was
courted by every young male slave in the com

Catastrophe.

Catastrophe
ST. Louis dispatch.
The corridor of the Planters House, about $50
O'Clock yesterday morning, was well filled with
men. Arrivals from the trains were coming in,
and business men were standing and sitting
around, chatting or smoking, before beginning the
work of the day. A buxom and neatly, but
rather plainly, dressed young woman stepped
briskly to the corridor and started for the
cashiers Office. When she had reached half way
across the open space shade of doubt and anx-
iety passed rapidly across her face, and one hand
made grab at something invisible. Theexpres-
sion soon deepened into one of distress, and her
walk became labored waddle. The spectators
were beginning to manifest deep interest in the
development of the play. The young woman
managed to get within few feet of the office
counter, when she made sudden turn, a bunch
like hitch was made on something, and presto!
there was decided relief in the strain of Che sit
tation. She then started on Decline for the
door at Weston gait, but the relief was illusory
and deceptive. for she had no more than got to
the middle of the floor when another waddle
changed into evidences of decided tange- foot
The supreme moment had come, and nerve was
in demand. pair of feminine jaws pressed to-
gether like steel clamps; two pieces of linen
joined together We're taken from her feet,
wrapped in a bundle and deliberately placed un-
der her ARM and the young woman swept out of
the door with head up and colors flying Not a
smile had apparently been cracked by either
spectators or chief performer as the scene was
rather too tragic, but as soon as the last lip of
the dress disappeared howl was heard in the
top floor. 1t was unanimously decided however,
that the young woman had great nerve.

Her sister Mrs. Teese, claimed that it went to
