4 s.She Major Of Cavalry"

One of the personages about Washing
Ion during the war was Annie Jones, who
rginallv protested to have run away
rom a boarding-school in Boston to "fol-
low the drum and who attached her
Yli to the headquarters of Gen. Stahel,
the commander of a German brigade.
A aippant talker, she ingratiated herself
into the favor of the general, and received
an honorary appointment as member
his staff, and as "Maj. Jones" became
an institution in the army. She ate with
the general, drank with the general, rode
with the general on all his hazar dous
trays, chatted with the general, nursed
the general when he was sick, fought the
gnpral's battles when she heard him
spersed by jealous understrappers, and

HOW CHARLES O'CONOR DIED.
A Strange story From Nantucket
About the Great Lawyer.

For some time back, says a Nantucket
! telegram to the Brooklyn Eagle, there has
! been much talk here concerning the clos
! inc hours in the life of the great lawyer,
! Charles O'Conor. He built a handsome
house at a short distance from this town,
and there he lived a comparatively Sc
cluded life. With only two or three resi-
dents was he on anything like familiar
! terms As may readily be imagined, the
agents of the Associated Press were anXi
GUS to get all the facts respecting the last
/ illness of so remarkable man. They de-
pended for such information as they could
upon few persons, who gathered what
news they could in their visits to the
| O'Conor residence, whittier their business
| called them. There was absolutely no
/ direct communication between the house
/ and the town. When the dread messen-
ger performed his last mission, it was ru-
! mored that Mr.. O'Conor had upon his
! death-b bed received all the consolation
which the church could give. For years
! he was the representative lay Catholic OF
! the country. having been lay delegate to
the great Ecuminical council at Rome.
With such a record no one could doubt
that all the sacred rites of the church
had been invoked to ease the final
passage of so faithful a soul. II
r,lmor. however, is to be credited,
! Charles O'Conor left the world with much
SIMPLICITY of exit. 1t is known that
Bishop Hendricks, of Massachusetts,
hearing of Mr.. OConor's illness, without
reouest came to the island to administer
to the dying man the last rites OF the
church. The newspapers reported the
visit and gave particulars of the solemn
scene at the deathbed Bi .hop Hendricl 8,
If is trIe. went to the house where the
sick man lay. On reaching it he was
met nv a near relative of Mr.. OConor,
who told him that she could not COM
municate his presence or the object OF
his visit to Mr.. O'Conor, as she had been
especially requested by him to prevent
any person from visiting him tor religious
PURPOSES. The bishop said that ne
thought it was her duty to inform Mr.
O,Conor that he was there, and that ne
had come expressly to administer splrltual
consolation. The lady replied that she
did not desire to incur Mr.. OConor
disnleasure. and declined the mission.
The bishop, with the acquiescence OF
the lady. then applied to an Intelligent
nerson who held some position IN MI
D,Connor's household, and who was mel
ealf q Catholic. She volunteered TO WISH
Mr. O,Connor's room and tell HIM tha'
the bishop was there to administer IliS
lost rites of the church. She did SO ana
returned with the answer that Mr.. y I S'n,
nor desired her to say to the pishop Illa5
he wished to see no one who came Glo'il1u
with sacerdotal power, and that he ue
clined his offices, as he desired 10 ole
simple Christian.
This is the story that has been currell
for some time here, and it is voucned Iol
by persons who ought to know: Even i
Charles O'Connor died repudiatlng the
sacraments OF the church, he was never
theless buried in st. Patrick's cathedral
New York.

The suddenness with which they be-

having almost lived on them for NUM-
Der of days, having three or four apiece
at each meal, our cook one evening said
that he had found nine or ten added
ones ont of dozen, and thereafter not
a single good egg was ever found, al

it was evident that we were only do
