IT HAS A HIsToRY.-Mr. w. l..
Jones has in his show window a
Stiletto which has a history. 1t
seems that while General Joseph E.
Johnson was retreating from Harper's
Ferry to Winchester, in 1861, to put
himself in closer communication with
General Beauregard at Manassas,
when on the Gaines farm near Char
leStown strange man was observed
acting suspiciously in trying to get
near the General. Finding that he
was watched the man made his es-
cape, and in his haste dropped his
coat, in the inside pocked of which
was found the weapon now on exhi-
!bition, with which it is supposed he
intended to try to assassinate the Con-
lederate commander. 1t is highly
finished having solid silver handle.
