but have been for crystals, as m~uScOVadO

prices of the former could not regulate the
prices Of the latter. But on the whole, 1t
seemed to him that it should not be the
Collector Of Customs to decide a matter OF
this kind; where there is question OF AKA
ton, it should be the Council to decide,
and it is to this point, he wanted to call the
Councils attention. IL is unfair towards

New York Tribune.l

A middle-aged man approached General
Wade Hampton the other day In the Senate
aud asked hrs influence in pressing a claim
before the Committee on Military Affairs.
lie said:
"General, am glad 70 see you again. You
don't recognize me. but you personally made
prisoner Of me in the war;"
Comparing notes, Hampton found that 1t
was a fact, and recalled the circumstances.
He was recOnnoiterIng one night and missed
his way. Around him burned many more
camp>lires than be had left behind him, and
entering house he discovered that he had
strayed into the enemy's lines. A few soils
dters were seated at a table, and addressing
them abruptly as ii he was superior officer
OF their owa army, he asked who they were
and wha. they were doing there. One man
spoke up and replied:
ave belong TO the Eighth New York
regiment, and General Warren sept Us TO get
milk
Hampton felt that all his nerve and adj.
dress would be required TO eXtricate him
from this dangerous position. lie reached
for his pistol, held II along his thigh, and on
leaving the house commanded the man who
had spoken 10 him 10 follow. lie did so.
Hampton mounted his horse and called the
man TO him. Bending down to the soldiers
ear, he whispered:
al have pistol aimed ct your heart, and
viii shoot you II any alarm Is made"
The surprised man whispered:
al surrender"
Hampton then bade him move on just
ahead OF lbs horse, aud so brought him INTO
the Confederate camp. II was this man who,
after twenty.three years, met bis captor aud
asked favor OF bin as senator which he
was more than willing 10 grant.
