A WAR INCIDENT.
The Love Between Master and Slave
as Shown at Island No. 10. p


Louisville Courier-J Journal.
Of General Alpheus Baker, now
of this city, but formerly a citizen
of Eufaula, Ala, lawyer by pro-
fession, and an orator of great
sweetness of diction and power,
the following incident is related:
He owned a slave called Paris,
before the war and at the time
the first gun fred on Sumter. The
slave was a huge negro, very dark
in complexion, six feet two inches
in stature, aud correspondingly
large in frame, makinga perfect
specimen of manhood physically
The General quit his homea aud
family to follow the fortunes of
the Confederacy. He said to his
servant Paris; 81 am going to
the war, Paris; will you go with.
me?" Paris, who loved and adj
mired his master, at once assent
ed, and following the wanderings
of his master as a devoted squire,
until the general, with those assoc
ciated with him, was captured by
General John Pope'at Island No
10 in the Mississippi river.e' In
the presence of the federal SOL
diers, when the general was about
70 be hurried off as a prisoner to
Johnson's island, his servant Paris
came to see him. In the interview
which took place, in which much
that was affectionate occurred ! be-
tween the master and his old SER
vantthe general said to him:
"Well, Paris, what are you going
to do?" Paris replied;a 'Wefl,
massa, with the help of God, I'm
goin' back to mistus and de chill
ern." The two old friends, who
had been boys together on the old
plantation in the-|Land of Rest,9
and were about the sameage, e,shook
hands in silence and in tears. Par
is turned to go, but had gone but a
few feet away from his master
when he turned toward him again,
his soul swelling up from its low,
est depths and his coTntenance all
aglow with the fervor of pure af-
fection, and rushed into his mas
ter's arms, weeping like an infant,
and exclaiming, "Massa, let me
hug youl" The two men clasped
each other, and their sighs and
sobs brought tears to the eyes of
the vfctors who surrounded them,
and the expression was heard:
Great God, see what affection be-
tween the master and servant!"
And that affection between mas
ter and W ,rthy servant remains to-
day in all the south, and will be a
bulwark of the conservative ele-
ment of the country through all
coming time.

Threatening to Burn a Town

Munice 1nd.) Special.
There IS a bitter fight between
the prohibiticnists and the saloon
keepers at Red Key, Jay county,
Indiana. For several months past
there have been threats ON both
sides, and for several days anony-
nous letters have been received
by diffrent persons warning them
to protect their property against
fire. Notably among the recipi-
ents to this warning were the local
papers and an insurance company
in Milwaukee, the largest holder
of risks in the town. A few days
ago attempts were made to blow
up the safe of Ellis saloon with
powder, and several attempts to
set fire to saloon near by and
property i'll different parts of the
town have been frustrated. Great
excitement exists. Yesterday all
insurance policies in the town
were revoked. All risks are refus-
ed. The obstruction of the village
is feared. Red Key is thriving
village on the Lake Erie and Wes-
tern railroad.

Soap For Hog Cholera.

l have kept hogsfor over forty
years with never sick one, though
the so-called hog cholera has Of
ten been prevelant all around me.
l attribute this exemption to the
regular supply of soap suds which
/ have always given them. Every
washing day except in extremely
cold weather, all the suds is emp
tied into the swill barrell, and the
hogs drink it greedily. l do not
think the suds any better for the
contact with dirty clothes, but
where only a few hogs are kept
the weekly suds seem about the
amount needed. Those who make
the suds specially for the purpose,
should mix about three pints or
two quarts of good soft soap with
a barrel of water, stir to a foam
and give it to the pigs one to three
times a week, and they will be al.
right.

ltSsys: "The tariff is tax laid

The difference between the tariff
aI and most other taxes is that
other taxes are collected by tax
collector who makes each citizen
pay certain amount of taxes ac-
oordlng to the property which he
may own subject to taxation. But
the tariff tax is collected in anoth-
er way. Whenever a man goes
into a store and buys anything,
part of the price he pays for it is
a tariff tax, although he may not
Know it. If he buys $40 worth of
goods, from 50 to SIS of the $40
which he pays for them is a tariff

80 for the goods, and from 81 to

goods were manufactured outside

pays goes to the government at
