of blue, in the determination to place
himself between Lee and Richmond.
Through the dark and exciting
night of May Z, 1864, the corps OF
General Warren was forging it's ad-
vance toward Spottsylvania.
The army scouts were busy that
night; in all directions throughout
the woody region they were speeding
stealthily, upon special missions
bent, and. strangely, not one was to
be found at an urgent moment.
The messenger sent out from head
quarters to procure a scout was
at his wits end
In the delay and confusion incindent
to the blocking of the route by Mer-
ritt's cavalry, at about three O'Clock
in the morning OF the Sth, it soon be-
came known that a brave and
capable man was needed for a peril
Gus undertaking, and the half fran
tic messenger was dashing hither and
thither, while his commander
minutes of impatience were being
scored against him.
81 have couple of men in
my regiment. said a veteran Colonel
quietly, who cannot be excelled for
bravery, capacity, and willingness. u
"But they have no experience for
such task as may now be required
ofthem?"
That will not matter. l will wa.
ger the honor of Companies III and
X upon their ability"
"Call them forward, Colonel
mounted, for we have some distance
to cover"
Presently, with the Generals per-
mission"
A few minutes later two horsemen
rode forward on either side of the
Colonel, and paused, grimly erect in
their saddles, before General War
ren's messenger.
"Sergeants Everett and Blay," the
Colonel said, 81 pledge my word that
they are two of the best and bravest
soldiers, and brightest, too, in all
the Army of the Potomac"
Then three horsemen went gallop-
ing swiftly away.
Not yet had dawn yielded it's gray
light sufficiently to reveal the counte-
nances of the two candidates foI
special scouting service; but their
manly voices, soldierly bearing, and
ease of selfconsciousness told at once
of courage and inward reliance.
81 now have use for both, said the
General, instantly, upon their arrival
in his presence,
First he led Jack Everett aside
and at the conclusion of some hurried
instructions added:
do your duty as Ihave explained
and will try and have pair OF
epaulettes placed upon your shout
ders."
"IfI win them, General, l shall
thereby also win the sweetest girl
that ever lived
who is she?"
"Jennie Fillmore" and he gave her
address in the same breath.
flf you should never return, Ser
Sehnt, l promise to communicate to
her your brave effort to make your
self worthy of her."

INDECENT HASTE.

President Harrison showed himself to
nc willing participant in the plot to
steal a State, by the indecent haste with
which he issued the proclamation admit
ting Montana to the Union.
This action was the trick of an unscru
pulous partisan, not the Deliberate and
dlgnified proceeding of President OF
the United States. 1t was of piece with
he action of the State Canvas,iug Board
IN Montana in accepting the "climina.
sion" of Democratic precinct, and re.
turning Republican Legislature as
elected, while the contest over this dis
sFict was pending in the courts.
Since that rasoally sharp practice "
was INDUCED IN the Court has decided
chat the rejected votes were legally cast
and must be counted. The election
judges have counted them as they were
east, thus carrying out the expressed will
OF the people. A Democratic Legislature
Is the logical and legal result. And yet
by rushing out this proclamation, Prcsi-
dent Harrison sought to fix the status of
Aontana in accordance with the robbery
planned out and executed by the Repub-
hcan National Committee.

A Sensational Letter.

An amusing hoax appears to have
been perpetrated upon the foreign press
in the shape of a letter alleged to have
been written by the present car prior to
his ascension to the throne, to the famous
editor and pansla tist leader, AksakotR.
whose widow died a feSv weeks ago.
The document in question. which bears
the date of May %, 1866. contains bitter
comments on the class of courtiers by
whom the imperial family was sur
rounded, and compares the highest Of
ficers of state to contemplate lackeys.
The publication of the letter in question
has excited an immense amount of atten.
ton throughout Europe, and it appears
to have been copied in almost every
foreign newspaper of any importance.
The whole thing is, however, but a hoax.
The letter in question, instead of having
been written by the present emperor,
was addressed in 1895 to Count Kotchou-
hey by the Grand Duke Alexander Paul
ritch, who subsequently asuended the
throne as Alexander The courtiers
referred to in such bitter terms were the
ignoble favorites of his grandmother,
Catherine III. The original letter will
be found in the first volume of the Life
and Times of Alexander l." published
