THEY FOOLED FARRAGUT,
How Three Confederate Pilots Escaped
Serving In tho Union Fleet.

How Three Confederate Pilots Escaped
Serving In tho Union Fleet.
A few days since former companion
pilot Of mino died, and recalled one of
those undying incidents of war days
He and two other pilots were drifting
down the river one night just after
having taken some Confederate boats
up. just as they were passing Farra-
CUTS fleet off Vicksburg they were
hailed, but would have drifted on past
in the dark If shot had not been fired.
Knowing well what was wanted they
planned n moment and then one of them
went aboard. The officer OF the deck
asked him il there were any pilots in
the party. telling him the fleet was only
waiting for some one to take them up
stream. My friend denied his calling,
and then the Admiral examined with q
manner that indicated he suspected the
truth. Getting no satisfaction, he left,
whispering word to his Lieutenant,
who called the sergeant at arms and re-
marked in an unconcerned way: "You
may take this man and the two along
side in the skill, lock them up and get
them ready to be shot II they can't be
OF service as pilots we can't be bothered
with them as prisoners" The sergeant
took them below, but the bluff didn t
work, for they would have been shot
by their own folks, the Confederates,
for serving the Federal navy, and thoy
preferred death with honor to the same
thing without Three days after a
Yankee pilot was sent aboard. and one
who knew my friends we'll. The Ad-
miral determined to test them again,
with view of having them exterminat-

prisoners were suddenly brought, un-
prepared, face TO face with the Yankee
pilot, under close scrutiny by the Ad-
niral and his staff. There was, per.
haps, the slightest involuntary recog-
milton, but 1t was not detected, and even
when the Northern pilot was closely
questioned as TO whether he knew
them, no denied it emphatically. and
pooh-poohed ut the idea that they were

General Sherman.
The other night General Sherman
went up to the Broadway Theater.
There was a clear sky when the Cen
eral went in, but before the perform
ance was over 1t began TO ruin and the
temperature became raw and cold. At
the end OF tho second act he went into
the Gedney House, few doors below
tho theater. and inquired of Clerk
Majiliton If he could hire an umbrella,
Mt the same time explaining that he had
been caught out in his evening suit, and
he feared rheumatism and other COM
plants. Majiliton didn't know him,
but he thought he could well afford to
take chances on such an emincntly re-
spectacle looking gentleman, and al
though the polite clerk has n rotund
figure and weighs about two hundred
and twelve, he gladly offered to loan
him his overcoat MS we'll rs his silver
handled umbrella
But" said the General you are
lending these things to an entire stran-
ger, and you ought to accept some kind
OF deposit TO secure you against dis
honesty"
"Oh, that's all right, Colonel" re-
piled Majilton, as he tossed key
gracefully to Louis Harrison. al can't
be deceived by you. I'd trust that face
of yours for any thing"
The warrior was tickled by the COM
pliment, and he remarked casually as
he went out with his tall. gaunt form
enveloped in the garment that fitted
him like meal-sac!l: IN take you at
your word, and you shall have my card
when return these things"
The next day the coat and umbrella
arrived, accompanied by note of
thanks and n photograph Of General
William T. Sherman with an autograph
across its face. "Great Scott" said
Majilton, "and | called him Colonel

i am reminded of little incident
that happened near Montgomery. Ala.
in the spring of 1865. General j. b.
Moore was in command of the First
Brigade, Third Division, Sixteenth
Corps, with headquarters at Ware S
plantation, three miles north OF Mont
gomery. While there the General
formed an acquaintance with citizen
by the name of Green, who lived some
five miles from our camp, and he pass
cd by every morning to the city with
vegetables, Strawberries, etc. The
General and his Adjutant were in the
habit of going out to Green's and stay
ing until n late hour, and having a
good time. The Generals orderly,
Frank Hartshocls, and myself, orderly
for the Adjutant, went along for guard
and to take care of the horses. On
May the General and Adjutant were
invited out again to eat Strawberries
Frank and | wero left outside as usual
We bore it patiently for while. but it
was growing late, and as yet we had
seen no pleasure nor Strawberries. So
l ventured up to a shanty and asked an
old colored woman if she could direct
me to the strawberry patch. She said
it would be difficult to find, it being so
dark. | then asked her il they had
any picked. She said No; only what
Massa Green has in the wagon to take
to the city," / bid her good might,
Now as it had been three years since
we had had our fill of Strawberries,
the temptation was too great. We
soon scented the wagon, and as Frank
had one of those old-fashioned hand
kerchiefs about yard square, we must
have tied up nearly peck. BY and by
the officers came out feeling first-rate,
ready for camp, making no apology or

occasions during the march the cheer
ing whistle OF the gay-hearted man in
blue chccred tho heavy-henrtod man

music when tho circumstances OF the
march were more than usually dis
tressing.
"As they started across the pontoon
bridge at Bridgeport, two lines OF gray
in tho center and thin limo of blue on
each outer edge, the whistler in accord
ance with very general call, started a
melody suited to the occasion. The
men caught step, and Reb, and Yanls.

ing tho command of the officers to
change step. AS tho column neared the
center the march had become sort OF
jollifcntion, and just as tho jollity was
at its height the bridge parted in the
middle and in an instant scores OF mon
were struggling in the water

fusion, but in good time all tho men

Among those lost were one Ohio boy
and two OF tho prisoners. The survi-
vors were Immediately loaded into the

detected. just before the train started
there came from the whistler who, in
his wet clothes, was the very image Of

NOTES FOR FISHERMEN.

A skate is not an ice fish to eat.
Epicures say that pipe-fish should nj.
ways be served smoking hot.
A man who catches bcllows-fish usually
let's the fish do all the blowing.
The torpedo-iish is very rarely caught by
line, as it no sooner sees boat than il
goes of.
The reason that the fish in the Mammoth
cave have no eyes is that they do not live
in the sea.
A black bass was caught in Long Island
sound the other day. 1t was perfectly
white, with golden spots.
A school of wealS-fish held n recitation
near the Atlantic cable recently, and the
operator in New York overheard them de,

A perch belongs to the acanthopterygian
order of fishes. This sounds funny il you
try to say it fast.
The passengers on southern steamer
were treated not long since to a serenade
by troop of drum-fish.
In the South Sea islands silver-flsh are
used rs money, and one weighing four
ouDces passes for quarter.
A hammer-head shark listened to dude
on board of yacht telling some improbable
story, and Immediately "nailed" him.
A party of young men were lost off the
banks OF Newfoundland, and only reached
land by the aid of a piot-fish which towed
the boat to land.

Gently found a turtle weighing three hun

members rebelled because gar-fsh was
on the menu. They said that it was not

regular way the catfish would hnve been

The ARMY WHISTLER.
How Ho Moved tho Hearts of Soldiers Both
In Hue and Gray.


"a good whistler is, as rule, the
best OF good fellows" said the Colonel.
1--WE had one fellow in our regiment
who could whistle any thing. and who
was generally moved to whistle his best
when the rest OF us were feeling our
worst. The ugliness in soldier nature
was pretty sure to come out at the tale
end OF long, muddy march. and the
swearing at such times was very dis
tressing to man who had faith in hui
man nature. At such times our gay
whistler would strike up some lavorite
tune. The swearing would cease, the
boys would catch step. and they would
go merrily along to the whistled meio-
dy. After battle. when the men were
respondent and discouraged, the whis-
tier of the regiment would whistle ten
der. plaintive tunes by the hour, and l
know that he gave great comfort.
