Now it happened that the old general had
a craze for absolute accuracy and he caught
Boobies up with pleasant sharpness.
"Oh Does that mean more OF lass?n

perhaps because Miss Mignon, finding her
time had come-and she never made fuss
on such occasions-put two soft arms round
his neck and gave him such a genuine hug OF
friendship that the old mans heart was q,iihe
taken by storm.
SO Miss Mignon was carried off, looking
back to the last over Boobies shoulder, and
waving her adieu to the handsome old man,
who had such fascinating array of clasps
and medals.
II didn't quite understand -,Uhat relation
is the child to him?n he asked of the colonel.
ssNone whatever. Ferrers found her late
one night in his he'd, with her wardrobe and
letter from her mother, written as if Fer
rers was the father. He however, gave me
his word of honor that he knew nothing
about it, and some of us think the whole
affair was simply plant, as he is known to
be very kind hearted fellow. Others, how
ever, Ferrers among them. think that note
and child were intended for one of the Others
Nobody, however, would own to it, and Fer
rers has kept the child ever since-I don't
suppose he would part with her now for any
thing. l wanted him to send her to the
workhouse, but it's a jolly bright little soul,
and I am glad he did not"
''Then he is not marriedg'
ooh, dear no. He pays a woman ESQ a
year to look after her, and all her meals go
from the mess. In fact he is bringing her
up as if she were his own; and the child
adores him-simply adores him."

warmly. ''It is an awful thing for child
to be reared in a workhouse-awful."

subject" replied the colonel, absently.
By the time Boobies returned, the officers
had risen from the table, and he met the
guests and the seniors just entering the
anteroom.
'I'll shake hands with you, Capt Ferrers
ifyou please" said the general cordially
II agree with you that it is an awful thing

Bottles, modestly. Il hope, though, you
won't think my little maid is often so OBJ

general, as if he meant it, too, and then he

Autumn Leaves.

Oh, swaying leaves of red and brown,
Oh, yellow, drifting leaves;
No more the ripening rays come down,
The birds have left the caves
The tuneful songs of joy are fled
Alone ye Shivering stay;
The sunshine of the year is dead,
The summer passed away.
And one by one, meath clouding sky,
Ye, too, must surely go,
Till fOrest-pathS in silence lie
Beneath the shrOuding snow.
Not vainly, when the moon was high,
Ye bowed in shadow deep,
Embracing all careSSingly
The children's holy sleep.
Not vainly now We patient fade
In quiet autumn hour,
The woodland sod anew to aid
Through natures mystic power.
What matter though earth's wintry bands
May seem to hold you still,
II but the Master understands
That We have worked His will?

SENATOR LAMAR.

Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, was a
Confederate, as is well known. He and
w ade Hampton are probably more asked
for than any others of the eX-COnfeder-
ates. There is always curiosity to see
these two men, and some in the House
who were also in the Confederate service.
Mr.. Lamar was member of the House of
Representatives in the Thirty-siXth Con-
gTess, and resigned to take his seat in the
secession convention of his State. He
entered the Confederate service as Lieu
tenant Colonel, being afterwaTd promoted
to Colonelcy. In 1868 he was appointed
by President Davis as a Special Commits
siOner to Russia, on very important
mission of diplomatic nature. Senator
Lamar is finished scholar. having held
several important positions in connection
with the University of Mississippi. He
is especially afflicted just now in the re-

Cleveland Dinner Enjoyed by Blaine
Men, and Col. McCune Disgnsted.
Charles w. McCune, editor of the Buff
falO Courier, says the New York Worn,ng
Journal, always makes his headquarters
at the Hoffman House. AS everybody
knows, MIR. McCune is a handsome man.
and careful man in regard to his toilet.
He is a liberal patron of the tonsOrial
rooms of the Hoffman, and has been
shaved for the past fifteen years BY
Charles Bender, the proprietor Of that
department.
Mr.. McCune was one of the staunehest
supporters of President-elect Cleveland.
One evening last October as Mr.. Nc
Cune was sitting in the tOnsOrial chair
having his moustache waXed he pro-
posed to the eight artists present that if
every one of them would vote for Cleve-,
land he would give them a swell dinner.
Although every one of them were Blaine
men they agreed to the proposition. When
the election day drew near Mr.. McCune
provided them with the proper tickets and
returned to Buffalo confident in the BELLE
that he had secured eight votes for Cleve-
land in one establishment.
On election day every man cast his vote
and Mr.. Cleveland was elected. Mr.. Me-
Cune arrived in the city yesterday and
proceeded directly to the barber shop Of
the Hoffman.
So sure was he of their fidelity toward
him and his pet candidate that he did not
stop to ask them if they had followed his
wishes, hut took it for granted that they
had. When the last deft touch of the
barber was over he requested them all to
be present at p. m. when they would get
their promised dinner.
He then went upstairs and told Steward
Lang that he could feed and wine the bar
bers to the extent of $50.
About O'Clock Mr.. McCune entered the
barber-shOp where the dinner was being
served just to pay his re poets. He after
wards remarked to friend that he was
sorry that he went.
Boss Bender in speech which strongly
savOred of bay rum said that the dinner
had been thoroughly enjoyed by all, but
he was deeply Inundated to remark that
Mr.. Elkins, who was also a very good
customer, had presented every man in
the shop with new suit of clothes, and
that all but himself had voted for MI.
Blaine.
Nevertheless the dinner had been great
ly enjoyed. 1t is said that Mr.. NJ cCune
will hereafter get shaved atanOther shop.

SENATOR VANCF.

Senator Vance, of North Carolina, who
retorted so earnestly to Gen. Sherman's
statement casting doubts upon his fealty
to the Confederacy, is good deal asked
for Just now. He is rather below the me-
dunn height of the Southern Senator's
for they are tall as a rule-With gray
moustache, a shock of gray hair upon
well-shaped head. He entered the Con-
federate army in 1861, and served until
elected Governor in 1862, accepting that
position and holding it by reelection until
the close of the war. He has Just been
reelected Senator, his term of office now
running until 1891.
Mr.. Ransom, the other Senator from
the State, was peace commits
siOner to the Congress of Southern
States at Montgomery in 1861, and soon
after entered the Confederate army, serv-
ing as Colonel, Brigadier General and
Major General, and surrendering at APP
pOmattOX.
Another Southern Senator a good deal
inquired after is Wade Hampton. He
was Confederate, and is popular Sena-
tor. People who go into the galleries ask
(Which is Wade Hampton And on
being told they usually settle themselves
for a good long look at him. He walks
about the Senate chamber quite comfort
ably upon his wooden leg, which takes
the place of the one he lost a few years
ago very acceptably. He is quite a
favOrite with the ladies, who go into rap
lures over him. Pretty Mile. Rhea apos-
trophised him while here recently as "ze
sweetest man in all re world" This
really "brOke up'' lot of the younger
element who were trying to create an
impression, and they are ready to wreak
their vengeance upon Hampton in almost
any manner. Hampton was in both
branches of his State Legislature before
the war, and was one of the wealthiest
men of the South, owning a thousand
slaves, if reports are true. He entered
the Confederate service at the beginning
of the war. serving with distinction to its
close, saving both legs in the army only
to lose one by hunting acct
dent a decade or more after
ward. 1t is rather singular
fact that South Cardinals two Senators
have but one pair of legs between them.
But it is so.

Senator Garland served the COnfede-
racy, but in a civil capacity only. He
was a delegate to the State Convention of
Arkansas which passed the ordinance of
secession, was a delegate to the Pro-
visiOnal Congress OF the Confederate
States, a Representative in the COnfede-
rate House of Representatives, and
finally a Senator in the Confederate
Senate, which position he held when the
war ended.
Senator Walker, of Arkansas, was
also in the Confederate service, being
a Colonel in a regiment which saw some
very interesting service.
Senator Call, of florida, was also in the
Confederate service. He was Major ia
one of the Florida regiments, and proved
himself vigorous fighter and favOrite
among his men. He receives letters often
from members of his old regiment, and
always in the most kindly terms. In the
recent Senatorial election in Florida his
popularity was shown by an unanimous
nomination by the party caucus.
Senator Brown, of Georgia, was not a
lighting man, though he admits being ian
original secessionist,1 and says he was
"active and energetic as war Governor
after the State had seeded" He did not
agree with Davis, however, in his way of
conducting the war. He was Governor
of the State of Georgia all the time OF the
war, but in spite of his opposition to Mr..
Davis methods he says he "threw no
obstacles in the way of the execution of
the law by the Confederate Government
he simply discussed with the President
the cOnstitutiOnality of the measure"
After the surrender he advocated acqui-
essence in the reconstruction measures,
becoming very unpopular thereby.
Senator COlqultt, OF Georgia, was Con-
federate warrior, ent 3ring the Confederate
service as Captain, and being promoted
step by step until he reached the grade of
Major General. He was a member. too,
of the secession convention Of the State OF
Georgia.
From Kentucky Senator Williams took
up the sword which he laid down at Cerro
Gordo for the Confederacy, having been a
Colonel and then Brigadier General in
the Southern army, surrendering with
Gen. Joe Johnston in North Carolina.
Ger. Johnston lives here now, too, and
often talks Of the old times with Williams
and others who were with him in those
days.
From Louisiana both the present Sena-
tors We're in the Confederate service.
Senator Jonas, whose term expires on
March 4, entered the Confederate service
as private Of artillery, acting as such
for considerable period. lie was finally
promoted to the position Of Acting
Adjutant of Artillery" in Hoods corps,
and as such served to the end Of the war.
Gen. Randall Lee Gibson, who took his
seat in the Senate at the beginning OF the
present Congress, was a Confederate,
serving throughout the war. He is more
scholar than a soldier, however,
h wing received q finished education at
Yale and at one of the universities of
Europe.
