CHASING GENERAL TooMBS.
The Fatcful Bundle of Papers That Stop
ped a Hot Pursuit.

Tho Fateful Bundle of Papers That Stop
ped Hot Pursuit.
"You must take him, dead or alive"
Eyes, Captain" and Private Suther-
land of the Fourth Iowa Cavalry put
spurs to his horse and dashed off at the
top of his speed.
Captain Saint was too much excited to
give further directions. He had conf
IDENTIFY expected to capture General
Toombs at his residence, and it was
mainly with this object that he had led
his rough troopers into the peaceful
Georgia town of Washington.
A call at Che mansion had resulted in
disappointment.
The bird had flown.
But the General could not be far away,
the Captain thought, and so only one
road had been left unguarded. Private
Sutherland felt sure that he was on the
right track.
Hello, Sambo!"
The negro was at work in the outskirts
of the town. When he heard the SOL
dier's rude salutation he advanced tim
idly to the fence by the roadside.
"Have you seen General Toombs pass
JhlS Way!
"Who-Marse Robert? No, sub.
Dunno whar Marse Robert is. Tink he
lef' town er week ergo"
"You black rascal" roared tho cav
alryman, ''he left his house about ten
minutes ago, and must have passed this
way"
"Now, marse boss" began the negro,
but he never finished his sentence, for
at that moment Sutherland caught sight
of horseman riding up the hill hardly
three hundred yarda away.
"There he is!' he yelled.
"Dat amt Marse Robert" quickly re-
piled the black.
But the Federals one glimpse of that
sturdy figure with the leonine locks
streaming in the wind was enough, and
he was off like an arrow.
1t was hst chase. With the fugitive
1t was ride for liberty perhaps for
life.
Steadily the pursuer gained on the
General. He kept him in sight and got
within hailing distance.

STORY OF A CANE.
Given to Confederate Officer In Nom.
ory of Brilliant Deed.

Given to Confederate Officer In Nom.
ory of Brilliant Deed.
1t was an ordinary ebony cane that
Sixth Internal Revenue District, Ken.
tucky, held in his hand. In fact, the
pattern of the knobbed gold head was o:
fashion that prevailed in the days
prior to and during the war. The
smoothly polished surface under ths
hand bore the inscription:
''B. Magoffin, jr., to James M. Grocer,
Co. A, Sixth Kentucky Cavalry, c. S. A.
Within the circle of the carving on the
side of the head was an added line
which read thus:
Presented in memory Of brilliant
deed"
During the war young Magoffin. who
was the son of Ex-Governor of the old
Commonwealth, and Captain Croze,
were comrades in arms, and during one
of their flying raids the former, with his
horse, was caught in quicksand. The
present narrator is not aware of any
other circumstance in connection
with the mishap than that Gro.
ger, at the risk of his own life,
rescued the young man. The cane
was trifling memento of the perilous
adventure. After the war they drifteS
apart, and the year 1876 found Grocer in
Denver, Col. There he fell in with Mr..
Stewart, the present general passenger
agent of the Kentucky Central railroad.
They became friends by the ties of birth
and congeniality, and when the former
started for the mountains on mining
expedition he left the cane with Stew
art. From that time Captain Grocer has
lived in memory alone. No word con.
cerning him has ever been received so
far as is now known. Whether he fell
a victim to one of the numerous bands
of depredators that infested the mining
country in those days, whether the In
dians ambushed him, or whether sick
and alone he died in some forgotten
canyon of the beetling Sierra Nevadas,
no one has ever related. Stewart came
East, bringing the cane with him, and
only few days ago gave the story to
Major Robbins, who will send the pre-.
cious memorial to the sister of the lost
adventurer, living, it is believed, at
Owensboro, Ky.-Cincinnati CONNER

WIT AND WISDOM.

You are all right if the people hold
some other person responsible for your
faults.
Remember that it's good plan to
watch for your comrades virtues and
your own vices.
The man who is given to sober re-
Election seldom gets into tight place.
Boston Courier.
We sometimes hear of the spirit OF
hope, but hope is no spirit, it's only an
ex-pecter r-Binghamton Leader.
We never see some men that we do
not regret that they are not children,
so that their mothers could call them in.
The wise man does not tell all he
knows and he does not always listen while
others tell all they know either.-Som.
erville Journal.
1t is better to say nothing than to
speak in an excited or angry manner,
even if the occasion should seem to jus.
tify decree of anger.
Never make haste to spend youi
money foolishly out of fear that there
will be no more opportunities to spend
it wisely.-Atchison Globe.
The medium is perhaps the bes,
pace in life, for we observe some mer
found fault with for being slow and 9th
ers for being fast.-Boston Courier.
What a new face courage puts OF
every thing! A determined man, by hi.
very attitude and the tone of his voice,
puts stop to defeat, and begins to con-
quer.-Emerson.
-"Angry with your neighbor? Going
right over to give him piece of your
mind? Wait till next week." advises
The Western Rural, 'and in the mean.
time treat him kindly"
The worst things are the perversions
of good things. Abused intellectual
gifts make the dangerous villain; abused
sensibilities make the accomplished
tempter; abused affections engender the
keenest OF all misery.
There are two things which will
make us happy in this life, If we attend
to them. The first is, never to vex our
selves about what we can not help; and
the second, never to veX ourselves about
what we can help.-Chatfield.
1t is one of the strangest of all
strange things in life that people are
not kinder to each other. And it is be-
yond all understanding why one trudger
along life's highway should care to go
out of his or her way to stab another,
who is doubtless having all he can do to
keep up the march, and tug his grip
sack along.
To those among us who are forced
by circumstances to move through
petty round of daily cares which seem
hardly worth ones best exertions, there
may be comfort in this thought often
expressed, but which Mrs. Whitney has
put in u very clear way: Doing any Que
thing well puts a key into ones hands
to the opening of some other quite diff
ferent secret. We can never know
what may be to come out of the naeanest
drudgerY. Y.-Hnrper's Bazaar.

Tho Federal was still gaining. Only
a few yards separated the two.
"Haltp' shouted Sutherland
The General looked over his shoulder
and darted onward.
Halt, or l fire"
The cavalryman leveled his pistol
Still no reply.
Private Sutherland looked dazcd for n
moment, and then he put up his weapon.
"Tho war is over" he muttered, "and
it would be little short of murder to kill
him."
The two horsemen were sometimes
nearly neck and neck.
Several times they exchanged glances,
and the Federal found himself admiring
the gallant old General. But he had his
orders, and he was determined to arrest
the great Confederate. He threatened
and urged the General to surrender, but
not word could he get in reply.
Riding close to the fugitives side tho
trooper reached out and tore roll OF
clothing from the crupper of his saddle
With q mighty effort the Confederate
dashed ahead, and roll of papers slip
ped through an insecure pocket and
dropped on the ground.
Perhaps the documents were of the
highest Importance This thought struck
Private Sutherland, and he at once dis
mounted Only a package of business

The road forbed. Which way had the

To save his life the young fellow could
not tell, but the honest-looliing darlly,
who met him at that moment, could not
fail to know.
81 have some letters for Genera,
Toombs-which way did he go?"
"De Ginrul, sub, he TUX de right-han

"Sure?"
''Sho' an sartin, marse boss"
That settled it. The Iowan spurred
his tired horse, and shot forward like o
cannon ball.
Late that afternoon Private Suther.
land and his jaded steed crawled into
Washington to face the jeers of laugh
ing crowd of Federals and citizens.
Sutherland saw an old negro watching
him, and riding up to him, he said:
"Will you tell me now which way the
General went?"
"Yas, suh," was the glib reply. HE
TUX de road ter de lef!"
When the Captain heard the troopers
report he gave mournful whistle.
Darn these Confederate niggahs-
they are as bad as their masters!"
That was all he said.
Everybody knows the remainder of the
story. The General made his escape
from the country.
In later years private John Suther.
land frequently told his neighbors all
about his adventure. Possibly he ex.
aggerated it-perhaps he invented it.
