UNwRITTEN HISTORY.
How John A. Logan Fell Into the
Hands of Two Fayette-cOuntY Men.

How John A. Logan Fell Into the
Hands of Two Fayette-cOunty Men.
From the Lexington lKy.) Press.
For the number Of men engaged, the
battle of Huntsville, Tenn, during the
war between the States, was perhaps one
of the most desperate struggles of the
war. Two comapnies of Gen. HansOn's
brigade and a portion Of Gen. Floyd's
command of Gen. John A. Logan, late a
candidate for Vice President. So far as
numbers were concerned the conflict was
an unequal one, the Federals far out-num-
bering the COnfederates. The "Rebs"
were victorious, taking more prisoners
than there were men in their command.
Among other Kentucky boys who took
part in the battle were Mr.. II. G. Payne
and his brother, Mr.. Lewis d. Payne, OF
Fayette county. When the Federals were
routed, Gen. Logan was the last to leave
the field. He was holly pursued and
scores of shots were fired at his retreating
form, and when he saw that he would
either be killed or captured he threw him.
self from his horse, and laying himself on
the ground face downward, ''pOssumed"
death. The two Paynes were together,
and seeing him fall, and recognizing him
as an officer of high rank, they hastily
dismOunted. took his sword and papers,
and remounting their horses, Joined again
the pursuing party. Returning from the
chase, the Paynes looked for the fallen
officer, and found that he had either been
removed or gone away OF his own
accord. When the papers were exam
ined, it was found that the officer who
had so cleverly escaped was no other
than Gen. John A. Logan. The papers
and the sword were turned over to Gen.
Hanson.
This is a true story, which in the great
volume of war literature has never be-
fore found place. The Payne brothers
are still living in this county and are
among our most hOnored and respected
citizens.

Drinking in Washington.
From The CIereIand Leader.


1t is said drinking is decreasing at
Washington. do not believe this to be
so. Fewer people drink at the saloons,
perhaps. But it has come to be that
every public man has his cellars stocked
with wines and brandies. and liquors are
sold by the quantity instead OF by the
glass. All OF the grocery stores at Wash
ington keep large stocks OF liquors, rom
Mumm's extra dry champagne down TO
very cheap article OF whisky, and you
will find wine stores In nearly every
block. In no city of the United States,
except, perhaps, New Orleans, is there
so much wine drank in proportion to the
population. Many families never sit
down to meal without having wine on
the table, and at q Washington motel,
where public men stop, it is the rule to
take a bottle of wine with your dinner
Within the last few years punch has be-
come very popular at Washington, and
you Will now find IA big punchbhOWl at al
most every fashionable gathering. 1t Is
quite an art to make fine Washington
punch. and it takes very little OF the re-
guar article to cause the knees to culver
and the head to swim. One recipe con-
tans the ingredients, whisky, rum,
olaret, champagne, sugar, and lemons.
A little water added to this, and you have
a drink that will pat an old topper under
the table after half OF the usual allowance.
Still, this stuff is given to young men and
maidens.
There is a good deal Of difference in the
United States as 10 drinking. Men from
the North and East and from California
drink wine, while those from the West
and South take whisky or beer. Ken
tuckians usually take whisky straight,
and Wisconsins are fond Of their own
Milwaukee lager. Senator'S Frye and
Blair are said 20 be the only Senators who
are teatotallers. Attorney General Gar
land like a good article OF bourbon.
President Cleveland drinks beer some
times. The Speaker Is a good Judge OF
LIQUORS, and he often takes bottle OF wine
with his lunch.
There was Congressman named Jad-
win In the FOrty-seYenth Congress who
never sat down TO a meal without having
q teacup OF hot water placed before him.
He seasoned IL with cream and sugar,
and drank IL "a other people do coffee.
Congressman Hatch OF Missouri is also n
hot water drinker, and Breckenridge OF
Arkansas takes II with every meal.
These hot water drinkers advocate the
Dractice as cure Tor dyspepsia and
Indigestion, aud they say they become
as fond OF the drink as Of tea, coffee, or
whisky.

from tho Neto York Herald.
A rough looking man boarded local
train ON the Pennsylvania Railroad at
Elizabeth, New Jersey, early Friday
morning. When Conductor Charles FOs-
ter asked him tor his ticket he said he had
none and also refused TO pay his fare. In
consequence he was elected from the train
at North Elizabeth.
The conductor stood on the rear of the
platform as the train was moving off.
The elected passenger drew a revolver
and taking deliberate aim at Foster fred.
The ball struck the conductor in the abb
dOmen, flattened itself against a regula-
ton brass button on an undercoat, glanced
OF, and, after ploughing a furrow in his
flesh, caught in his heavy coat. The con-
ductor did not known that he was hit at
first. AS the train moved away from the
platform the man fired again at Foster,
but missed.
While the weapon was still smoking an
east bound freight train rolled up. With
an oath, the man eXclalmed:-"Fn kill
the whole railroad cOmpanyp He aimed
at the fireman of the freight train. The
fireman lodged in the cab as a bullet
whistled by the place where he had stood.
Seeing an east bound Lehigh Valley train
approaching, the man ran across the
track. He took deliberate aim at the rear
window OF the last car and sent bullet
through it and within a few feet of the
conductor of the train. He was lust
cooking his revolver to fire again when
officer Benjamin Tucker seized him.
After a lively tussle the man was dis
armed and a pair Of handouts placed
upon his wrists. At the Elizabeth police
station he said his name was Charles
Cation, but that he was sometimes known
as Edward Newman; that he lived at
Huntington. l.. l., and was a sailor on the
schooner Farmer, now lying at Elizabeth
port. On Thursday night, he explained,
in company with two companions, he left
the vessel and got drunk. Justice Dabb
committed him on a charge of attempted
murder

81 w. BELLY, IOet ana olgn:falnt9f. ..
was running a weekly paper in q
small Northern Indiana town at the
time I first met him. You know how
the inhabitants of small places go wild
over anything of freakish nature.
and the reigning sensations just
then was the work ola blind sign:
painter. A party of advertising
fakirs had just struck the village
who decorated the dead walls and
fences in the most gaudy way imagin-
able, the finishing and artistic touches
being done by member of the party
who was known as the ''Only Blind
Sign Painter on Earth.' Business with
them was rushing, every merchant IL
town coming around and wanting
work done, for when the Blind Sign
Painter, who was none other than
Reilly, felt his way up ladder and
dashed off an artistic sign, half the in
habitauts of the place tttrned out to
witness the feat:
The scheme of the fakirs, which was
an original one and calculated to
catch the multitude, all depended on
the histrionic ability of the ;,Hoosier
Poet. He had large, frank gray eyes,.
and the vision of an eagle. When the
surface was selected he was brought
out and led to the foot of the ladder.
A part of his business was to 60 up a
step, carefully feeling his way, then
turning, stare into vacancy in an aim
less, moony sort of style, and bring to
bear on the crowd face full of pain
and pathos: This rarely failed to
draw expressions Of SYMPATHY, and.
what was more to the point, addition
al advertising contracts: Slowly
climbing the ladder, he fingered, the
surface, measuring carefully with his
hands the Dimensions of the letters,
and then suddenly seizing the brush,
the sign was reeled off much more
rapidly tnan the average painter could
do it. =, -
Another catching bit of 'business''
was to stumble on coming down, when
one of the party gave him showing
below, with an .lmprecation and a
brutal order to be more careful. -: ;,
'Shame, shame! some one oug ght to
take the poor man away from those
rutlins," were sample remarks from
the crowd on such occasions. One
day when he was up the ladder I
caught his eye. My suspicious had
been aroused, and he saw it In my
face. Slowly and deliberately, with
owlish solemnlty, he winked that great
gray eye of his in way that spoke
whole libraries.
After that I was taken in his conf
dence. and fir ding that he was a gold
mine of talent induced him to leave
the painters and 60 to work III tiy
office, task which was hot difficult;
for he only regarded the ''Blind Paint
cr' d. dge as a boyish lark, and wds
getting tired of the fun. That was
the beginning Of his newspaper career;
He went to indianapolis and has beet
doing excellent work on the press of
that city ever since. l understand his
book is netting him quite handsomely
and is success every way:-Pittsburgh
Dispatch.

The Growing Popularity of Snails.

''Snails, please and bring 'em in
the SHE'LL said a rOtund, rosy-cheeked
little man with close-cropped gray
whiskers to waiter in fashionable
downtown restaurant largely patron
lied by swells and the better grades of
sporting-men.
The order sounded somewhat unus-
ual to Tribune reporter who chanced
to be engaged on modest sirloin at
an adjacent table, and he glanced over
the bill of fare to see if the dainty
mo]lusk bad a place thereon. There it
was sure enough: ''Escargots Bordel-
aise, ST.
Are not snails new thing in your
bill of fare?'' the restaurant-keeper
was asked.
"Well, yes; it is only within the last
month or two that have been keeping
them asa regular article. l used to
supply them only on special order
by getting notice some time before
hand, l mean-but recently the de-
mand has increased sufficiently to al
low of my having them as a regular
thing. Notthat there is any demand
for them yet worth speaking of-seems
they re too rich for the American blood
but they are getting into favor. When
Chicago epicure eats one dish he's a
snail-eater ever after, and I shouldn't
wonder but before long snails will be-
come part of the regular bill of fare
in every first-class restaurant in the
city,
s'What class of people are your prin-
cipal customers for them?''
''Americans who have been in Eu-
rope,'' replied the restaurant-man
promptly. "Now, that man there"
he continued pointing to the apple
faced little patron, who was absorbed
in picking the snails from their shells
with one-pronged silver fork, rolling
them over in thick brown sauce and
swallowing them with evident appre-
ciation-"that man there was in Eu-
rope last year, and got a taste for
them there, and he's been one of my
regular customers since he came back.
They are in common use IN France,
you know, and largely used in England,
too, especially in London. Chicago
