The race became mad gallop until
they reached another hill
The Federal was still gaining. Only
few yards separated the two.
''Haltp' shouted Sutherland.
The General looked over his shoulder
and darced onward.
"Halt, or | firel"
The cayalryman leveled his pistol.
Still no reply.
Private Sutherland looked dazed for Q
moment. and then he put up his weapon

it would be little short OF murder to kill
him."
The two horsemen were sometimes
nearly neck and neck.
Several times they exchanged glsnces
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 fugitive's side the
trooper reached out and tore a roll Of
clothing from the crupper of his saddle
With mighty effort the Confederate
dashed ahead, and roll Of papers slip
ped through an insecure pocket and
dropped on the ground.
Perhaps the documents wero of the
highest Importance. This thought struck
Private Sutherland, and he at once dis
mounted. Only package of business
letters.
The soldier looked up. The General
was no longerin view-he had disappear.

In moment Sutherland was in hot
pursuit.
The road forked. Which way had the
General gone-to the right or to the left.
To save his life the young fellow could
not tell, but the honest-looking darby,
who met him at that moment, could moi
fail to know.

"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 .

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, subj" was the glib reply. "Hs

When the Captain heard the troopers

STORY OF A CANE.
Given to a Confederate Onleer in Mem
ory OF brilliant Deed.

Given to a Confederate onieer in Mem.
ory OF brilliant Deed.
It was an ordinary ebony cane that
Major Robbins, Deputy Collector Of the
Sixth Internal Revenue District, Ken
lucky, 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 the
hand bore the inscription:
'B. Magoffin, IT,, to James M. Grocer
Co. A, Sixth Kentucky Cavalry, C. S. A.
Within the circle Of the carving on tht
side Of the head was an added line,
which read thus:
Presented in memory of a brilliant
deed"
During the war young Magofin. who
was the son OF Ex-Governor OF the old
Commonwealth. and Captain Grocer
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.
yer, 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.
corning him has ever been received, SC
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
dams 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 te

cious memorial to the sister Of the lost

FIVE .usEFul SERVANTS.


All Miss Griselda Grumblegirl
Your lips are all awry;
A frown is twisted like curl,
Above your hazel eye.
I'VE are SO poor!'' hear you fling,
II never can have any thingi"
Come take your sewing up, and stitch,
And / will tell you true;
You are not poor, but very rich,
With slaves TO work tor you
Five little slaves who never tire,
Who need no whip and ask no hire,
One pretty servant all the day
Takes boards of treasure bright
And stores them in your mind away;
His name is Perfect Sight
Give him, my dear, the best OF care
That when you're old he'll still be fair
Another, smiling with his task,
Makes your dry crust OF bread
Seem sweeter than the sweets you ask,
And wish you had, instead
OH do not spoil him as you go,
Lest he into a monster grow
Another works in glare or gloom,
SEXES the zephyr's sigh,
And brings 10 you such sweet perfume
AS money can not buy.
Watch over him, or when too late,
You'll find him grown less delicate.
Then there is sharp young Hearing; he,
With flying footsteps, brings
Wise words, and foods OF melody,
And stores OF merry things.
Be wary. lest he chill with cold,
Aud fail TO work when you are old.
The last is lord Of all the rest,
And yet your servant, too;
He gives you Joy when you're caressed
And kisses fall on you.
With these five little slaves, I'm sure
You can not say that you are poor.

We call him Bobby. Johnny found
him when he was hardly fledged out.
He was cuddled close TO big rock in the
wheat field and crying as If his little
heart would break. Just as you would
cry if some great giant should burn your
home and kill your dear brothers AMI
sisters. That was what happened to this
dear little robin. Some cruel boy had de-
stroyed the home nest, and killed all the
robins but this one He had slipped
away among the wheat
He was alone, and cold, and hungry,
so Johnny brought him home. He soon
grew to be very tame, and ate the bread
and egg which Johnny gave him, readily.
1t was easy to teach him tricks. And
now, while the winter winds blow cold,
and the snow whirls against the win
dows. we have great fun with Bobby.
He will kiss us very prettily, but II a
stranger offers his mouth for a kiss he
will nip his lip with his long, sharp bill.
He will sit on mammals shoulder
for an hour at time, softly
singing a pretty song, but If she begins
to eat an apple, and does not offer him
bite, he will tweak her ear sharply.
Sometimes he will not let her sew. but
will fly toward her, seize the thread,
and pull it out of the needle before she
can take stitch. No matter how many
times she threads it, he will not let her
sew until he is tired of the fun. He will
climb tiny ladder, then fall down and
make believe he is dead. He will 'sing
for his supper when we hold up any
dainty and tell him to sing for it.
He will play ''hide-and-seek." But
We generally let him hide, because he
pulls our hair when he finds us.-Little
Men and Women.

CONSTITUTIONAL HINTS
Secretary Noble Did Not
Require Them.
ELEMENTS OF OFFICIAL HONESTY
David Bennett Reminded That HI.
Ofico Has Been Held by
Eminent Men.

WAsHISGroN, Nov. 3.-Secretary Of
the Interior Noble to-day replied to Tho
letter of Governor Hill of the 3is,
ultimo, regarding tho New York oitv
census. Following are some excerpts
from the letter: at was wholly nm.
necessary for you to remind mo of tho
provisions of tho constitution OF tho
United States relating to the enumera.
ton and apportionment of representa-
tives or the electoral college, or the pro,
vision of the census law allowing amend.
monts and recouuts. Neither did ne,d
any exhortation upon the subject of
far appointments. Ii is much To Ina
regretted that in your letter to me, when
acting upon plainly official matters.
you, as governor should speak as A
partisan and impute corrupt purpose to
the census enumerators to secure party
advantage by diminishing the count of
the city of New York. Your imputation
against the enumcrators and census
work is 50 entirely gratutous aud un-
founded as to he slanderous, and Won
should know that your abusive course
could not tend to promote that fair and
judicial consideration | had been dis.
posed to give TO the application of tho
mayor.
"Your charge imputlng fraudulent
motives to Others rather suggests that
AS your party thinks an increased popu-
lation would iuure to its advantage.
the count OF the police, taken as 1t has
been since the New York police board
has been made PARTISAN needs the very
closest scrutiny and analysis. Your
accusations, heretofore onhned to in ter
views and stump speeches, began even
before the enumeration wasannounCed."
The secretary refers to the governors
speech at Indianapolis on the subicc,
last June, and adds; "Iou did not sue
coed In these efforts to any considerable
degree but you are largely responsible
for any inaccuracies that may exist,
You set tho example by de.
nouucing the law of congress and
made suggestions for its violation
hy your less acute political followers.
Your early and continuous partisan
attacks upon the census have had neces-
sarilya motive which is easily discerned.
You further asserted, In the speech mem
toned, tnat the republican party will
not repudiate the declared policy Of
breaking the power of the solid South
by deliberately Ignoring the vast increase
of population in that section. The
truth is that no complaint whatever has
been received from any Southern state
against the census, and the only serious
claim of erroneous diminution OF popu-
latIon ana representation by the state
came from the republican state Of
Oregon"
In conclusion the secretary SAYS; II
regret the necessity OF addressing the
chief magistrate of the leading state OF
the Union in the terms | have en- poyed,
but find my justication in the reckless
intemperance OF Language you have seen
tit to usc--lan guage which is Iackingas as
much in truth as 1t Is ill-betitting your
great office, which in the past has been
filled by eminent men OF both political
parties of New Nork."

AMERICAN CATTLE
The London Chamber OF agriculture
on Beef

LoNpos, Nov. AT q meeting of the
central chamber OF agriculture to-day a
resolution was adopted that the resuIa-
tions regarding the importation ofcattle
should be maintained, also that the
period of six months ought TO elapse
after the country was declared free from
disease before the cattle arc accepted.
The resolution was based upon the re-
port of the committee interpreting the
American meat inspection act as a
menace to Great Britain, and adding
that IL is impossible To ignore the fact
that "persistent and reckless efforts are
still being made to secure the free adj
mission Of American cattle"
The report further states that the fresh
outbreak of pleuro-pneumOnia in New

Activity of Catholic and Lutheran
Clergy at the Polls.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 4.-When the polls
closed at ;4J this afternoon the mos,
unique and exciting political struggle in
the history OF the city came to an end.
The feature of the day was the activity
of the Catholic and Lutheran clergy in
marshaling their forces against the
Bennett school law. At the pollin q
booth at the corner of Greenbush and
Mitchell streets, on the south side, al
most in the shadow Of Stanislaus Cath.
olic church, two Polish priests busted
themselves in seeing that each Of their
countrymen voted and examined the
ballots to make sure they were casting
them against the little schoolhouse.
Father Gruczn was busiest. His church
is outside the city. in the town OF Lake,
and he stated triumphantly to friends
that wh.n he left the precinct in which
his church is located there had been
only one or two republican votes cast
against 100 democrats.
In the Second precinct, Sixth ward,
the Capuchin monks appeared, twenty
three strong, headed by the father guard
ian. Quietly AS they came they went
away, leaving 20 more democratic bal
lots in the box. Most of the Lutheran
churches held meetings last night at
which democratic tickets were distrib-
uted. At the booths the Lutherans
would not have anything to do with the
peddlers Some Of them would take
