An Incident Preceding tho Capture OF
Macon by the Fcdcrals.
In April, 1865, was on n short fur
Tough, When arrived Mt the depot ]
was informed that Generals Cobb and
Forrest were whipped out of Colum-
bus, Ga, the day before, and that the
Federal army was on its way to Andcr-
sonvillc, to liberate the Fed
eral prisoners who were con-
fined there, and would soon be in
Macon. / was advised by my friends
not to 90 down, rs would be captur-
ed. remarked that l was duo in Ma
con next morning, and that as had
never missed roll call | would 20
down and see the thing out.
So l boarded the train with honest
Billy Mitchell as engineer, and the
Hon. w. A. HUFF conductor. The train
was little behind time, and on arriv-
ing Mt Barncsville we were twenty
minutes behind The train from Thorn
aston had arrived with the Confcder-
ate officers, who were fleeing from the
fights of the day before at Columbus.
But they were in so much haste they
did not wait for us. General Howell
Cobb and staff, consisting of about
eight or ten men, had left on foot 90
ing toward Macon. We run about two
or three miles and overlook them,
counting crosstics with their gripsack
in hand. Tho whistle blew and the
train stopped. Captain HUFF got out
and laughed ut them and took them
aboard, greatly to their satisfaction.
They had left word at Thomaston for
their horses and baggage to follow on
after them to Macon. Tho horses had
arrived at Barnesvillo when we got
there, showing that they had made
time from Thomaston. Nothing I'M
usual happened before arriving at Ma
con.
After leaving the depot went up to
Second street. where the Confederate
Government kept their liquors, and
there | saw what but few people ever
see-liquors poured out on the ground
until it ran down the street ankle deep.
/ learned it was emptied out to keep
the Federal army from capturing it.
There were good many dry fellows

SPORT In SANTA CRUZ.
A veritnbio Paradise for Experts with tn,
Ehot-Caun and RIffo.


Not long ago affairs Obliged me.
very reluctantly, to visit Santa Cruz,
and more from force of habit than any
anticipation Of having much use for
thom, slowed in my trunk n shotgun
and rifle, with plentiful supply
OF ammunition. The matters which
claimed my attention need not have
detained me on tho island longer than
the month Of March, but IL was the 1st
of juno before l succeeded in tearing
myself away from the beautiful place
and such n profusion and variety OF
game as never before fell in my way.
Santa Cruz is now under Danish gov
ernmcnt, but something like $50 years
ago, when tho English held temporary
possession, an old Colonial Governor Of
sporting proclivities conceived the idea
of introducing an old world institution
in the shape of deer forest, for tho
exclusive amusement OF himself and
his court. To this end he dispatch cd
q schooner to the coast of North
America, from whence she return ed
frcighted with largo and lively cargo
of Virginia deer (CirUuS Vrginianus)
of both sexes and all ages. These were
turned loose In well-woodod and

LEARNING TO HOWL.
sei5-Reformatlon tho Only Way to Reform
the World,

Seis-Reformatlon the Only Way to Reform
the World.
1t is an old Spanish provcrb, wo be-
lieve, He who lives with wolves will
soon learn to howl" He who lives
with the faults of his friends, and
counts them over and sorts them and
weighs them and measures them, will
soon have equally grave ones of his
own, which his friends will be sure to
see, and which will make him positive
ly unable to cure them. There is moth
ing that SO dctcriorates character rs
this undue looking after faults and
blemshcs in others while VIC arc blind
to our own. We may abhor mcanncss
and stingness in our ncighbor, and DO
able to give a hundred reasons why ho
should give away more in charity, and
see a thousand little things to Indicate
his smallncss of soul, and at tho same
time we may be so cngrosscd with ono
phase of meanness in him as TO forget
another phase of meanness in our
selves. We may abhor untruth so ve-
hemently in some one else that VIC shall
forget to hate impurity in ourselves.
Wc may dcsp!se our neighbor for his
sharpness and trickery, and spread
over our own slackness and idleness
and shiftlessness the coyerlct of
THANK God, I'm not sharpcr!' Tho
idle, thriftless man can never reform
tho oyer-shrewd speculator; the i'm
pure man can never lift the untruthful
man out of the bog; the gossip is not
fit to cure tho miscr of his sclfishncss.
There is only one way, after all, to re-
form the world. Not by learning to
howl Mt its faults, or to bark Mt its
mistakes, but first to begin tho work Of
reformation with ourselves. We como
back inevitably to the old truth so
often before stated: In order to make
the best of others we must first make
the best of ourselves. - Golden Rule.

tho applicant had asked for pension

WORKING WoMEN'S PAY.
Difficulties In the Way of Adjusting Piece
Work.


When work such MS sewing is done
by the piece, the rate paid depends on
the sample maker. If she is very ex-
pert in point of time her standard is
good for the employer, but very hard
on the girls. There are only few in
every work-room who can equal the
sample maker. The slower workers are
degraded in consequence, although the
work done may be equal in quality. As
arule the sample maker is not loved.
A conscientious sample maker, the
sewing women say, will consider the
average speed practicable.
Piece work is one of the most difficult
matters to adjust in the labor market.
1t is conceded that it is greatly in the
employers interest. 1t is certain that
the nervous strain produced by it tears
down the health of women. A woman
confesses to working from eight in the
morning until midnight, lifting her eyes
anxiously every little while to the clock
In factories tho strain of competition
carried to excess is one of the dangers.
Notwithstanding these admitted evils,
the system is upheld by women work.
ers, for they always have the possibility
of earning more than by weekly wages,
whether they avail themselves of it or
not, and trades unions in England have
made an effort toward establishing a
weekly wage based on piece work. One
method of relieving the strain of piece
work is by limiting the hours of labor.
forbidding night work. and by prohibit
ing the slow workers from working for
less than living wage. This can be
done through organization, and of
course does not apply to the idle and
incompetent, who doubtless would and
