A ROMANCE oE THE WAR.

The death of old Nathan Golf,
ST., at Clarksburg, calls to mind the
eventual story of his son. The old
man vas rich and a devoted Union
man. His Sol went into the Union
army before he was twenty, and in a
fight in Hardy County, in his ma
tive State, was captured and sent
to Richmond. Very soon after, Maj
or Armsby, a Confederate who lived
in the adjoining county to that in
which his parents dwelt, was arrest
ed as q spy. He was tried by a
court -martial and sentenced to be
shot. The fact being transmitted
to the Confederate Government they
threw young Nathan Golf into pris-
on and notified him that his life
would be taken when Major Arms
by was executed. The same intelll-
gence was sent to Washington and
to his rich and powerful relatives.
For several months this young
man lay in prison, in the shadow of
death. His influential relatives in
the North sought to save his life by
saving that of the Confederate spy.
While they were moving in his be-
half the youthful Federal soldier
wrote a letter, which is now on file
in the War Department, in which
he demanded that the government
should not hesitate in it's duty to the
spy on account of any sympathy
for him. "a government has no
right to sacrifice a principle even to
save the life of an innocent Citizen"
he wrote. 1t was a manly letter
and nc doubt induced the lion heart
ed Stanton to agree to exchange
young Golf for the rebel who had
been sentenced to death.
At last the exchange was made
and they returned to their COM
mands. A year later the Confeder-
ate was recaptured and brought as
a prisoner into the town where the
Union soldier lived who had been
held as a hostage for him. When
this fact was discovered a mob pre-
pared to lynch the captured rebel.
miles away young Golf
was commanding his regiment. AS
they were dragging the prisoner
through the streets the Union Off
GER arrived on a visit to his family.
inquired the cause of the COM
motion, AID pushed his way through
the excited crowd. Laying his hand
upon the Confederate he said: "Let
no friend of mine lay violent hands
upon this man. He did a soldiers |
duty and is entitled to the protec-
ton that a soldier will give him.
Thus ais life was saved by the
very man who had suffered so much
that he might live. The war closed
and both men went back to their
homes and now reside in adjoining
counties. The Union soldier now
sits in Congress, while the Confed-
crate plods along in the ordinary
walks Of life. This episode made
young Nathan Golf a brigadier gen
eral before he was % years Of age
and paved the way for his higher ad-
vancement. He was Secretary of
the Navy for a time, under Hayes,
and the youngest cabinet officer, ex.
cept Alexander Hamilton, in our
history.

HOW TO DRESS THE TABLE
Always be sure if knives and
forks become worn to renow their
plating.
High-backed chairs are pictur.
esque ; they frame in a person and
separate him from the wall.
Realism must always be avoided
Silver should be simple and solid
The chasing on silver is usually
fimsy and badly drawn.
D%ining-rooms should be lighted
with a chandelier, but to offset this
focused light and soften the shadows
on the faces, candles should be
placed on the table.
The time was when tables were
entirely set with white; nov We &C
to the other extreme and have 8
cluster of all sorts of colo:s mixed
together without harmony.
Salads + good decorations. One
cannot put anything on a tablemort
beautiful than celery. Blue is not q
very good color for use. 1t is apt tt
look cold and spotty with white.
Large center pieces on a table arr
too ostentatious, and are out O
, harmony with the horizontal princi
pie of the table. White flowers ar,
appropriate, but big lunches of vari
colored flowers are not.
1t is a good thing to have some
thing beautiful on the table to lool
at. but tall objects should be place,
at the corners of the table, not il
the center. Art in the table, as else
where, is merely common sense.
Beautiful glass is made nowadays
but it is poor taste to have red, vel
low, blue, green and amber glass on
the table at the same time. The
colors used should, if possible, IL
related to the tints of the wall, the
carpet and the table cloth.
Decoration of porcelain should be
conventional. Here's a Royal ORES.

Bold Burglars,

The first attack of burglars Ottawa has

quite successful raid. 1t does not appear
thnt there was moro than one man engaged
on the job.
Two houses were .a,,ered, the residences
of Henry Eichelberger, Webster street, and
M. II. Swift, Main street. At Eichelbergers
the man entered at che front gate, and
walked in bare feet over the bare damn
earth to the bay window, one section Of
which was uniastened. Raising this he en-.
tered the bedroom Of Mr.. A. +. Lovejoy,
whose clothing was gathered up and removed
to the lawn Of Chas. Hamilton, next east As
the prints Of the mans feet showed on the
ground. Here he CLEANED them out,r Sc
curing between 500 and 500 in cash and
watch and chain worth $40 to $50. Then
gathering up the clothing, the thief depos-
tied them carefully rolled up on the porch
and departed ~ he came.
At NJ. II. Swift's only the lower part Of
the house was entered. 1t was pretty
well gone over, but nothing of value was

Thursday was the Jewish New Years Day
and all business houses of that race in the
city were closed during the day. No people
in the world more carefully observe the
great ancient holidays, whether feasts or
fasts, than the Jews of Ottawa. The new
year which began on Wednesday evening at
6 o'clock is 5646 and the first day is one
marked with impressive ceremonies, though
of reverential or penitential character,
rather than of social excess, as among Ameri'
cans on New Years. Every morning
says writer, 'for some days before and
eight days after, early propitiatary prayers
are recited among Germans, while among
the Portuguese such prayers are recited ev'
cry evening for month before and q week
after, and before daylight on the day before
New Years an atonement is read ia addition
to the regular service. The first ten days
Of the year are called the ten days of peni
tence, the last of which is the day of atone
ment. The Hebrew term for the New Year
is "Rosh Hashanna," and the ceremonies in
cluds the sounding of the shofar in the syna
gogues, which reminds the congregation Of
the approach of the great fast day, and bids
them make their peace with heaven on the
great holy day of the year. The distin
gushing color in the synagogue for the holy
days is white, and ladies are supposed tC
wear white in their dresses, especially on
atonement day. The prayers used during
the ceremonies are remarkable for their lib
erality of tone; there is prayer for the re
generation of mankind, and also for the es-
adjustment of the Messianic age of universe
peace and brotherhood"
