From tie Chicago Tribune

The strange case of Hugh Thompson has
just passed through the Pension Office. 1t is
a remarkable story. Thomson LETT home
a boy of Is to march with the Union forces.
At the battle of Chickamauga he was
wounded in the head, and from that time
until 1872 his life is blank to him and his
friends.
The army record shows that he was at
the battle of Chickamauga After that he
was reported missing, and, until a few
months.ago his family mourned him as dead.
Under this impression his father applied
for a pension in 1875, but was refused be-
cause he was not dependent at the time of
the supposed death of his son. From the
battle of Chickamauga until he was re-
stored to his friends Hugh Thompson did
not know his own name Until 1872 he had
no consciousness whatever. Where he
spent the interval he does not know. In
that year he was walking near the little
town of Cleveland, in Illinois, when the
memories OF the war returned He did not
know his name. He was clad in old soldier
clothes, with a blue soldier overcoat. He
dimly recalled great battle in which his
comrades were hard pressed, and that was
all To his mind the battle was just over.
From that time until last year he was
ceaseless wanderer. He had intelligence
enough to care for horses and do odd chores,
but his name, his family and his regiment
were all blank. In his wanderings he
made his home in Michigan, Illinois, Wis
consin, Iowa and Kansas, picking up three
wives, all Of whom are dead. His misfor-
tunes appealed to the old soldiers They
cared for him, and made many efforts to
learn his history. Among them he was
known MS Shorty" "Old Reliable and
the "Namele,s Soldier In little Testa-
ment, to which he chung through all his
mstortunes, was written the name of
Thompson, and this was supposed TO be his
name. Some time last year he was at a sol
diers' meeting in Michigan.
His story was printed in a local paper
This found its way TO Van Vert county,
Ohio, where the elder Thompson lived
Hope was revived in the old man, who had
mourned his son as dead for twenty-five
years. He began search for his son, and
finally found him in Kansas, and brought
him back to the scenes of his childhood
Many things which had bafiled memory
were reaa led He had been engaged in
youth to girl whom he remembered, and
although Il quarter Of n century had passed
there was some peculiarly about her that
led him TO recognize her at sight. One day
he was taken 10 an uncles, where many
hours of his youth were passed. AS he came
10 the barn a fash of intelligence came to
his face, and he said that was the barn he
had SO often tried 10 recall.
His own people ouly identified him
through the testament which his cousin had
given him, and which he had preserved. to-
gether with some verses she had written.
The Pension Commissioner is satisfied of his
identity, and a pension will be issued to the
poor wanderer in a few days.

Floating on the River.
From the HauEinsuille (Ga) Dispat

from Inc HdUktnSptLte (Gd.) Dispatch.
Capt. L. J.. Williams, of Telfair county,
on one occasion enga ed passage on large
timber raft destined for Darien. The raft
met with several accidents and was
delayed, and by the time they reached the
Altamaha river the rations were getting
scarce.
At last it was suggested that they run the
raft to land and stop for day and gather
curlew eggs at point on the Altamaha
known as 1.-The Nairows," or Steamboat
Cut" At this point the curlew gathers in
the winter and lays its eggs in the spring,
and then returns to the mountains to spend
the summer. The birds assemble in focks
of many thousands, and fill the trees with
their nests. The raft hands gather many
bushels of the eggs, which are as palatable
and as nouriShing as those laid by the ordi-
nary barn-yard hen. His crew made safe
landing and gathered enough curlew eggs
for food for voyage of several days, and
proceeded to Darien in fine spirits
Capt. Williams has informed us that the
alligators have found the nesting place of
the curlews, and have destroyed the young
birds by the millions, and eggs are now
very scarce along the streams He says the
alligators have learned to shake the nests
and the young birds out of the trees with
their mouths. They have actually gnawed
off all the bark on the trees covering many
acres of ground.

The Story of a Gourd.
From the Dq~son tGa) Journal.

Tuesday the Journal received a letter
from Mr.. &. Q. Ashley, of New York, ask
ing if he would sell the long gourd reported
in our columns last summer. This gourd is
feet and inches in length, and has been
the object of much curiosity since it has
had place IN our sanctum. 1t was raised
and presented to tire journal by Capt Lott
Jennings, of our county The gourd has
been shipped a present to Mr.. Ashley,
and no doubt Capt. Jennings gourd will
soon attract large crowds of curious specta-
tors in the metropolis of America The
gourd is gone, and the gourd editor will now
turn his attention to the building of COM
press in Dawson.

An1nta Cor Macon telegraph.
There is a good deal of cotton talk on the
street to-day. Sid II. Phelan, who has re-
Gently opened an office here for the purpose
of placing orders on futures in the markets
of Chicago and New York, says that he
thinks Atlanta has lost over sl,000,000 in
the recent cotton deal which may not yet
be over. He is regarded as authority upon
matters of this sort.
At about every turn | hear the names of
men who have been caught for various
sums by the decline in cotton. A promi-
nent lawyer, who is known to be a hard
| man to rope into an uncertain venture, IS
said to have lost $40 coo, and is to-day look
ing as blue as indigo. The impression IS
that jim Harlo has been completely wiped
out, and that with him hundreds of init
| mate friends have suffered. They went in
with Harle thinking that he was on the IN
side and that it was safe to follow him III
cotton deal His brokers in New York have
gobbled up all the money that he had on de-
post in the banks of that city to cover adj
vancements made for him as cotton rolled
down the hill.
met young man this morning who,
speaking of the deal, said:
You have no IDEA how many young men
have been caught When the deal com
menced they rushed to Harle and the In
mans for tips on the market, and when
ever they got them they went i'll for all that
they could rake and scrape up. | know of
one lady who lost several thousand dollars
on the decline There are scores of young
men in Atlanta that have soaked every
thing that they possess except their shirt
fronts Atlanta, in my opinion, has been
hit hard and the effects Of the loss by cotton
will be felt here for some time"
| asked an intimate friend OF Jim Harle
what he thought of the rumor which was
being circulated on the streets last night
that Harle was still in the market, and that
he was buying cotton in blocks of 5000 and
0000 bales.
There is not word of truth in it, for
the simple reason that he has been cleaned
up and has no money to buy cotton with"
Another man, speaking of thisadashIng
young speculator, said:
"a friend of mine tells me that he stood
by Harle few days ago and saw him lose
100000 on one fall in the cotton market,
and he did not finch a point He just
stood there with his hands III his pockets
and saw the figures go on the board, and
showed not sign Of surprise or depression"
The professional dealer in futures and the
high churchman are all in the same boat.
l know of three members of one church di-
rectory who are out from $1,000 to $4,000
on the deal. One young man who is work
ing on a salary, as soon as friend gave him
a tip drew out of bank his entire deposit,
consisting of $500, and in twenty inmates
could not write a check for a scent cigar.
The people here who are of speculative
nature had SO much confidence in Harle and
the Immans being on the "inside' of the
deal that they went in like they were deal
ing on a certainty, and when such feeling
exists in any community the result can well
DO imagined.

Some Old Cotton.
From the Washington (GaJ Gazette

From the Washington (Gd.) Gazette.
Mr.. Eli Wellmaker, very substantial
farmer brought in bale OF cotton Tues
day that was fourteen years old. IL was
pronounced as good staple as has been
brought here this winter, and was bought
by MeSsrs. James A. Benson & Co. at OK
cents. If sold when made and the money
put out at interest, the proceeds from this
bale of cotton would have amounted by
this time to over 5000. But good many
years ago Mr.. Wellmaker lost some money
by one of his fellow church members: this
shook his faith in mankind, and he proposes
now to keep his cotton rather than lend his
money. He has more cotton that is as old
as this, and always keeps a goodly number
