and then TO Cincinnati, wnere General
Thomas had collected $2S0.000 in cash.
which he gave me, together with maps and
plans OF the Ohio river between the mouth
OF the Big Sandy and Louisville. Went to
Aurora, Ind to confer with Senator HUFF
man, who had organized three regiments
one at Aurora and Lawrenceburg, one at
Seymour and one at Madison and North YER
non. / gave him u commission as major
general in the Confederate army.
The next stopping place was at Spring
field. ILL.,, where l met Judge Dixon. who
was at the head Of the movement in Illinois,
with commission as Major General. He
had more influence, and afterward, in at
tempting to release prisoners at Camp But
Ter. accomplished more than any man in
Illinois. This attempt would have been
successful had it not been for Colonel
Shanks informing the authorities. He was
afterward killed at Cheyenne by his own
men, on account OF this. as believe.
Going to Carlinville. stopped with John
d. White. wealthy farmer OF Macoupin
County. Here drilled my men openly
until received information that General
John M. Palmer was about to call a regi-
ment of soldiers to arrest me. called on
General Palmer. and told him that we
would fight it to the bitter end. was not
arrested. and l have talked with General
Palmer since that time, and he said that he
concluded that it was best to let me go. as
it would have taken five thousand men at
that time in that county to arrest me. and
would have precipftated tie war into the
heart of Illinois.
Going to Madison. Ind. whore John T.
Moore was in command of the "copper"
he ads, he told me that everybody was
looking for me, and he assisted me across
the river. where found horse at John
Wells. 1 rode to Christianburg. then to
Versailles. then to Lexington.
In order to understand the subsequent
events, we must go back to August, 1862.
At that time my battalion was with Gen.
E. Kirby Smith. In the battle OF Richmond,
KY, and was assistant provost marshal at
Lexington. thus making many acquaint-
ances. had also remained on the battle
field to bury the dead. impressing the serv-
Ices of citizens. among whom were four
brothers by the name of Haley.
On my arrival at Lexington from the
Northern trip, l called at the Curd House,
which was the rebel soldiers headquarters.
and Miss Mamie Curd was the moving spirit
among them. While eating dinner 1 met
Capt. Gwynn. of Gen. Morgans staff. At
that time there wore 1000 Federal infantry

son, and when going across the river two
soldiers followed me in the ferry boat.
which succeeded in capsizing. throwing
the soldiers into the river.
reached Wallis, where l was given the
best horse that ever rode, and seeing that
was pursued, went to the top OF hill.
where had sharp fight with the Yankees,
who chased me to Christianburg. where 1
was far enough ahead to get lunch at DR..
Kings. At the corner grocery got half a
pint of whisky. which l gave to the horse.
and another half pint. which used myself.
The Yankees were again in sight. and tired
as my horse was l again distanced them.

dead run for Danville, thence to Lebanon.
Six miles from Lebanon l turned on the
pike and rode up Poke's Creek In three feet
of water. put up at the house of old man
Prewitt. having run my horse 104 miles.
six of which were in the creek.
The next morning my horse was dead, the
noblest animal l ever saw. l was taken.
sick in this house. and while In bed was
captured. When / became prisoner the
excitement seemed to cure me, and on the
train, while being taken to Cairo. jumped
of while the train was in motion. l was
not seriously hurt by the jump. and hid out
In the woods until night. when l stole
horse from q man named Greer, who, by
the way. have met since and offered pay
for his horse. which he declined.
The next morning 1 was in Glasgow.
where / received mail and left, crossing the
Cumberland River near Sparta, then to
Tullahoma. thence to Knoxville, where I
gave my stolen horse to Miss Matte Love.
and took the train for Richmond. After
making my reports l declined to return to
the North, and again assumed command OF
my regiment of sharpsho ooters in General
Claiborne's brigade. joining them at Le-
noir's station.
In October. 1863 was taken prisoner.
and confined first on Johnson's Island and
then at Camp Morton until the close OF the
war. was three times offered my parole,
Governor Orth, OF Indiana. coming specially
to see me at one time. but 1 refused to take
the iron-cla oath.
After the war was over 1 went North and
settled in Detroit. where was elected as a
member OF the Michigan Legislature. being
defeated as candidate for reelection in
1888. then came to Birmingham, where l
have resided ever since.

RS are taught in the Chinese village
schools. Geography, except that of
China, and arithmetic are not taught.
Arithmetical calculations are made by
the aid of the abacus or counting
board. Young pupils have dull and
hard time of it in these schools, for
they must learn by heart the shape
and sound of the multitude of word
characters of their language, the mean
ings of which are not unfolded to them
until they are 13 or IA years of age.
Every word has it's own peculiar sign
and to spell it" is to know the right
number and position of the strokes and
dots which compose it.
The children of China have their
games, the chief outdoor sport being
kitefying (an amusement in which old
gentlemen as well delight, but they
know nothing of football, hockey,
cricket, boating. Punch and Judy are
as much at home in a Chinese as in an
English village, and shuttle-cocks are
knocked about by the children with
their feet instead of with battledores.
Once or twice year the women and
children of each village go into the
fields of the country and return laden
with flowers to be offered at the graves
of their dead.
Many books for children are written
by the Chinese, and they are profusely

ernment. The three freebooters. armed to
the teeth, and killing every man they met
with home guard uniform on. naturally
created sensation.
That night we ate supper at Charles Pra-
Tiers in Columbia County, at the foot OF
Blackfeet Ridge. While eating, forty Yankee
soldiers arrived, looking Tor notorious
bushwhacker by the name OF Conway.
Kibble and Andrews escaped, and l have
never seen them since. / pleaded loyalty.
said l was alone and on a pony, and to
show my loyalty would assist them in
hunting up Conway, who. by the way, had
agreed to meet me at Prather's that night.
I cot on Prathers pony and went with the
soldiers to corner grocery eight miles
away. and twenty-five miles from Colum-
biaville. Here I called for Conway, and in
sisted that 1 knew he was there. A man
named Steele was proprietor. and I gave
him SO and paid for all the whisky to make
the soldiers drunk; then l loaded them up
with bottles of liquor and started with them
for Columbiaville Arrived there / took
them at once to Gen. Guitars headquar-
ters, and said:
General, l am loyal Irishman. Your
men took me prisoner. and, to show my
loyalty. have brought them back to you.

In the north of China the summers
are very hot and the winters very cold.
There, in summer time-especiallv in
July and Augustine children are
scarcely clothed at all. Little cotton
garments and sometimes gauze tunics
compose their full dress. In winter
they are nearly smothered in clothes.
AS the people light fires even in winter
merely for the purpose of cooking food
it becomes necessary to increase the
clothing as the cold intensifies, until
in midwinter the children of the poor
in their multiplied wadded cotton Jack
cts look more like holsters, or even
balls, tean like human beings.
Almost every village has school
which the sons of the rich and poor at
tend together. Rich people have pri-
vate tutors for their elder boys and
sometimes for their daughters, who are
never allowed to attend the village
school. The education of Chinese
girls is comprised in learning to cook,
sew, embroider, and sometimes to play
the guitar, read, and write. Their
chief occupation while young is silk

my loyalty and gave me pass, with which

they recognized me. l returned to Pra-
ther's. where 1 found my horse and Con

once to my orders. We then organized
the Paw Paw militia. and had q fight near
st. Joe with Craghill,s Dutch, in which
Conway lost an arm and was shot through
the shoulder; nine of the Dutch being
killed.

The youngsters of the Orient are not
lacking in names, and some of them
are saddled with titles which an Amer
lean would lose no time in ridding him
self of by application to his Legisla-
ture. Among the superstitious high
sounding names are supposed to
arouse the envious wrath of evil spir
its, and their children often bear such
appellations as Little Dog" Hill
Dog" and "Old Cow" The more re-
fined and intelligent of the Chinese
choose for their little ones the finer
titles of "Long-Lived King" "Glori-
Gus Light Summer" Beautiful Gem
Place." and Beautiful Phoenix Bell"
etc. Besides these names the little
ones have what are called milk

names of American nurseries. Matter

inventing titles for their children, and

illustrated, but these books are sold
SO cheaply that the illustrations are
usually cheap and far inferior to the
book illustrations of England and
America. The cuts reproduced with
this sketch are fac-similes of pictures
published in China in a toy book con-
tanning one hundred and Two stories,
and faithfully represent the condition
of celestial pictorial art. The stories
are told to illustrate and emphasize
the apothegms of the Chinese moral
lists and will remind American readers
of the Sunday-school books of gen
GRAFTON or two ago, in which the heroes
and heroines were always preternatur-
ally good and always dressed in the
bulging cap or prudish pantalets of
Jacob Abbot's Rollo and his sister. A
few of these odd moral tales are here
reproduced that the joys of the little
Chinese may be fully appreciated.
"In the Chow dynasty there was a
man named Laon Lai-tsze. When he
was 20 years old he used to put ON
bright, many -colored clothes to attract
the attention of his aged parents and
play like child to amuse them. Some
times he would carry water into the
hall, and pretending to stumble would
fall fat on the ground. Then he would
cry and run to the old people, all to
make them forget their age and imag-
inc that he was yet II child"
II.
"There was once a boy named Woo
Mang, or Brave and Talkative,' who,
when only eight years old, was very
dutiful to his parents. They were very
poor and could not afford even mos
quito curtains for their bed. So the
little boy used to get into his parents
bed early in the evening and let the
mosquitoes bite him until surfeitsd
with his blood. Then he would sur
render the bed to his parents that they
might sleep in peace.
"There was once man named Han.
Whan n boy he misbehaved himself
very often and his mother used to beat
him with bamboo rod One day he
cried after a beating and his mother
said: L have beaten you many time
and you have never cried before. Why
do you cry to-dayT
:" %, mother he replied, you used
to hurt me when you tiogged me and
did not cry, but now l weep because
you are not strong enough to hurt me-.
at makes me weep" says the Chi
nese moralist, with unconscious humor,
"even to read this story"
".
About l, 800 years ago an officer was
uniustly accused of treason and con-
demned to death. His son, 10 years
old, went to court boldly and beat the
drum to claim an audience with the
Emperor, and entreated that he might
be allowed to die for his father. This
so pleased the Emperor that he set the
man free and was about to confer the
title of Perfectly DutifuP upon the
boy, when the latter exclaimed; 1T is
right and just for son to die when his
father is disgraced, but what disgrace
can be compared with that of gaining
honor at fathers expense? respect
