@f'll try" said the voice from within. The door was opened, and closed aa Voon as we entered. Our guide eE. plained our mission, and when the woman said that she "had mos nothin' to eat in de house," he explained that we were provided with rations in small way. This information took load oti LiE's mind-she was a middle-aged and a very black woman-for she consented to keep us, and after shalEing hands and wishing us God speed, our old guide left us.
 From Liz we learned that the Confed. crate cavalry had been ''gallopin' round right smart all day." and she further in- formed us that she had "heard ex how dc Yankees wuz seed down Harrison Landing way jes' RfoAh dak las night"
 We shared with Liz our supply oi cooked food, and then crept up into the loft and lay down on the blankets she had spread for us. We might have slept on for four and twenty hours had we not been aroused about the middle of the afternoon by the tramping of horses. the familiar chatter of scsbbards, and the hoarse voices of men. looked out through the ohinlxs and saw about dozen Confederates, the leader of whom was talking to our frightened hostess-
 "I aint seed no Tanks, seed no nav. thin" Liz protested again and again. With an indescribable sense of relief, saw the horseman ride away, and aa soon as the sound of the tramping died out Howard and left the loft.
 As the woman's husband, whom we hoped to have had for a guide, did not put in an appearance by dark, we thanked Liz for her kindness and start ed off again. It was pitch dark, with snow and sleet driving. down from the north, but we had faith in that Provi- denoe who had so far guided us Oright.

every meal on the way. We parted at Lexington and went directly home. After greeting my happy parents, hur- ried over to the Widow Brent's, where my reception filled to overfiowing the cup of my joy.
 The next day Carrie and I drove to Camp Dick Robinson, where we found Frank in his old quarters. Poor fellow, ho coughed necessarily and he was wasted to a shadow.
 When I assured him that he was now on the footing of every other prisoner of war, he embraced me and wept like a child.
 Finding him in the mood to accept advice, spoke of his illness and the eff feet good nursing at home would have on him, and the result was that he con- sented to take the oath of allegiance.
 He was taken home, but within the year he was sleeping in the old cemetery beside his father.
 The foregoing is all of my story. un- less, might add, that when my leave expired I returned to my regiment, fought on till the close of the war, and then returned with Coloners commits sion and an empty sleeve.
 I am married to Frank Brent's sister. It was agreed quietly between my wife and myself that should have the nam- ing of the first child soon expected, and she of the second. "Tho first" chanced to be twins. They arc young men now; but often, as we knclt over the crib in which Joe Johnson and sherman slept so quietly, tears would we'll up from our full hearts, and, kissing each other and the babies, we would whisper:
 "How sweet thing it is for brothers to dwell together in peace"

VICE AND PROFANITY.

Vices, like all moral reforms,
seem to have their ebbs and
tides, and perhaps there nev-
er was a time when profanity
was as open and public as at
the present time. This will
be observed by everyone who
comes in contact with the
public. You hear it on the
streets, in the business hous-
es, at the hotels, and in fact,
wherever you go. 1t does
not seem to be confined to
the low and vulgar, but men
of position and high social
standing indulge with impu-
nifty in this coarse and vul-
gar vice. Ladies' are constant
ly exposed to the mortifica-
tion and humiliation of ofhear-
ing the name OF God profan-
ed in almost every public
place that they visit. This
useless and pernicious prac.
tice is not only a violation of
the commonest sense OF pro-
priety but of the plain law of
the land, the statutes of
the state, subjects the
violator to Indictment and
punishment. We call atten-
tion to this matter, believing
as we do, that much OF it is
the result of habit and
thoughtlesness and that in
many instances it would not
be indulged in, if the parties
would take time to reflect.
Such things are very unpleas
ant to many OF our best citi
zens, who are compelled to
listen to it, or abandon the
hotels and all places Of pub
lie travel .-Johnson City En-
telplise.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

For-the Democrat
Representative Lodge is a
monomaniac on the subject
of a Federal election law.
He wants he says, "if neces-
sary, a file Of federal soldiers
at every polling place in his
district" He has made the
Federal election idea the
sole object OF his thoughts
throughout this session, and
will attempt to crowd out
any other important busi-
ness in it's favor. He was
the first member to arrive in
Washington, and promptly
attached his fortune to that
of Mr.. Reed, while he was a
candidate for the speakers
ship OF the House. He came
here before any other Of the
Massachusetts delegation,
and when they arrived, they
learned, as they did two
years before. that Mr.. Lodge
had his committee places
picked out in advance of any
oflhem.
There is a great pressure
at present in republican cir
cles, to have the Lodge bill
pass. Of course the actual
reason is that millions have
been given through subsi-
dies and tariff, public build
ings and in many other ex-
travagant ways, and it ia
admiJtcd by those in author.
Sity that the y. S. Treasury
is nearly bankrupted. To
avoid a deficit therepublican
majority proposes that the
government shall commit a
colossal breach Of trust. TS

The House to-day, after an
at times exceedingly lively
debate, passed the origina

decided by the republican
managers that the passage
of this bill was necessary to
keep the prohibition republi-

The next thing on the House
republican programme is the
National Bankruptcy bill,
which is to be railroaded in
the usual Reed style; the
House having by a party

Col. Polk NJ Ashevil!e.

Col Polk made a speech at
Asheville a few days ago. 1t
was his first speech in the
state since his Western trip.
Col. Polk is president of the
Farmers ALLIANCES and Indus
trial Union in the U. 5. Heis
also editor Of the Prog7 eS-
sive Farmer that has recent
ly made such an attack on
Senator Vance.
Below are a few of the lead
ing thoughts ofhis two hours
speech:
In reference to his alleged
ambition for office he said he
wac d candidate for no office,
and never would approach
any man for his support.
THE FARMERS CAUSE.
He would never-cast a vote
for a man who was not a
friend to the farmers cause.
"If that is political treason,
make the most Of it," He
spoke OF the Alliance 'going
in to politics." There was IA
mistake made by small poll
ticians in conf0unditig poll
tics with partyism. In that
sense the Alliance was net
going into politics. The
trouble which is depressing
the farmer lies in the unjust
and dishonest financial sys-
ten of the government.
There is less than 81 per cap
ita in money in circulation.
We ask for no class legiSla-
ton for farmers. We are
opposed to class legislation.
We demand simple justice,
and by the help Of Heaven
we intend to have it. The
fight is whether the dollar or
the citizen shall govern this
country. The power Of cor
porations aid combined cap
ital or the people,"

talk to and with them; and
say to them, that while the
days of the Blue and the
Grey have passed away and
become as a tale that is told,
and the Bonny Blue Flag
has been waved for the last
time as the ensign Of a na-
tion, and duty demands that
they and | shall endeavor to
build up our Southland un-
der the stars and stripes OF
our common country, tocon
tribute literally of our means
to provide pensions for the
boys who wore the blue. TO
toll on in our poverty, with
no outstretched helping hand
from that common country
to the battle-scarred old man
who wore the grey-now
scarce able to toll. Yes, say
to them, for me, to remem-
Der always to be true to
themselves; to teach their
children, and their children's
children, that no more brave,
noble or loyal men ever sac
rificed their lives in defense of
right and country, than the
noble dead Of the Confedera-
cy, scattered over the bloody
fields throughout our lovely
Southland.
Historians and poets have
written and sung OF Mara
thon and Leuctra. of Hast
ings and OF WaterloOj OF the
many battles of our own rev
olution. Arbela boasts her
Alexander. Thermo l@
points with mournful pride
to her Leonidas. The "Old
Guard" has been rendered
immortal by song and story;
Balaclava and the Light Bri-
gade is the wonder and ad-
miration OF the century, but
the Confederate veterans
point to Bethel, Manassas
and Gettysburg, for the Old
Guard and the Light Brig
ade. He can speak with pride
and with love of that meek
man OF peace and mighty
thunderer Of war, Stonewall
jackson. Of Lee, that mag.
nanimods man Id war; that
GREAT MAN in peace, that
christian man in both. The
Tar Heel-ever honored name
