in q costume of golden brown cloth,
which fully attested the skill OF the

1.-THE man with the coolest nerve I
ever met, said Col. A. E. Seifert,, who
was in . reminiscent mood, recently,
was Col. John s. Mosby, late G. 8. A.

when that place was captured by
''stonewall" Jackson in 1852. After
waiting some time for our exchange
we were ordered down to Fairfax

my post almost on the double quick,

troop Of cavalry coming down the
Warrington road at q quick trot. They
were stopped by the man on post one

post. ,-., ..g,....... .gsf Ek,et vii

There. were about three hundred of
them; q motley crew in appearance,
but they were . jolly lot, singing, talk

soon was sound asleep. I was told
next morning I had allowed Mosby
and his men to pass"
How did he get the password? At
one of the outposts was one of the
rawest kind of a raw German. While

word which was not the correct one.
That's not right, said the sentinel

officer insisting that his word was
right, he exclaimed angrily, What
word have you gOt?' The man said.
The sergeant Of the guard gave me
the word jamaica and nobody call

A. curious circumstance is reported
from Cincinnati. William Harris, Of
Boston went into the Burnett House
and wrote his name in the register.
n had scarcely done 70 when he was
startled to see a few lines above an ex-
act facsimile Of his signature, William
Harris, New York. He looked very
closely at It, wondering whether it
could be possible that he had already
registered. He was sure that he was
sober, but this certainly looked like his
signature. Presently Il gentleman
stepped up to the counter and inquired
II there was any mail for William Har-
ris. William Harris, of Boston, looked
up and beheld his double, u man
dressed like him, and 81 similar in ap-
pearance that u stranger could not
tell them apart. One turned out to be
a travelling man and the other come
diem. They are entirely Unrelated

Selling SO largely, We must buy large

saving iobbers' profits, which we divide
with our patrons. Remember we sell
more clothing, more shoes and more
carpets than any house in the South
the reasons are plain.

Leavenworth Times: Squire Geo. o.
Sharp, of Kickapoo, has been a post
master longer than any other individual
in the state. Mr.. Sharp received his
appointment from President Lincoln's
postmaster general and has held the
Office ever since. He has also been elect
ed justice of the peace year after year
since there was any thought of a magis-
trate there. Mr.. Sharp can tell some
queer old stories in connection with his
Office during the early days in Kicka-
poo, and especially during the reign OF
the Union League" He can also say
what very few justices can regarding
years, been called upon to marry
couples whose parents he married away
back in the sixties. Mr. Sharp helped
to saw the boards used in building the
first houses in Leavenworth.
Topeka Capital: ]. S. Mcclure, jan
itor at the court house, had an expert
ence which might have resulted seri-
ously. AS it was he escaped with a
rather impressive scare. He was in the
sherifFs Office alone Just before noon
and stepped into the large vsult to ar
range some papers. He had not been
there long when the sheriff walked into
the Office hurriedly and closed and
turned the combination on the vault
door preparatory to going to dinner.
He had reached the door of the office on
his way out when he heard a terrific
noise inside the vault. He listened a
moment surprised and incredulous. He
then turned back and opened the door.
He was more surprised when he saw
Mcclure inside the vault. Both men
congratulated themselves and then went
to dinner.
Chancellor Snow says in his weather
report for September: "Only four
Septembers on our twenty-four years
record have had higher average tenn
perature (18S1, 49,, 'S4 and 1867; but
the mean temperature of the second
half of this September (71.66 deg. was
higher than that of the first half, and
higher than the second half of any pre-
ceding September. The sky was ex-
traordinarily clear, only one preceding
September having been clearer 1856.
The rainfall was more than one-third
below the average, and the barometer
had very slight range. The rainfall
was 2.23 inches, which is 1.37 inches
below the September average. Rain fell
in measurable quantities on five days.
The entire rainfall for the nine months
of 1891 now completed has been 3S.75
inches, which Is 9.88 inches above the
average for the same months in the pre-
ceeding twenty-three years, and 3.21
inches above the entire average annual
rainfall.

ed that the passengers adjourn to the
hall and listen to an address by their
distinguished fellow-traveler.
He finally consented to do his part,
the hall was warmed and lighted, and
the lecture took place.
The next day the gentleman was ap-

ITo BE Continued
Revealed 40 a Dream.

One of the bloodiest battles fought
on Georgia soil during the late war was
that of Resaca. Among the many
youths who took arms in defense of
Southern independence was the 49,
year-old son of Jethro jackson, of
Griffin, Ga. and the brave boy met his
death at the battle of Resaca. Hewas
dearly beloved by his comrades, and
they gave him a little better burial
than usually falls to the lot of those
who die upon the field of battle. With
rough boards taken from a bridge near
by they made him rude coffin. and ten
derby and lovingly placed him under
the sod.
1t was some time in the spring of
1866 that Jethro Jackson went to
look for the grave of his son. He
wished to find the remains, and to take
them to Griffin and inter them in the
family burying ground. The comrades
who laid young jackson TO rest gave
the father a description of the spot
where they had buried him, telling
him about the rude pine coffin made
from the boards taken from the
bridge. After many days of tireless
search Mr.. jackson failed to locate
his sons grave, and returned to his
home.
A few nights after his return he
dreamed that his son came to him and
pointed out the spot where he was
buried. The dream was like a vision.
He.saw his son standing beside his bed
and heard him say:
Father, am buried under mound
which was thrown up by the Yankees
after was killed. You will know the
mound when you see it by the poke
berry bushes gro wing upon it. Go
and take me up and carry me home to
mother"
So strong an impression did this
dream make upon Mr.. Jackson that he
returned at once to Resaca, taking
with him one of the comrades who had
buried his son. The mound was found
Just as described in the dream, and the
pokeberries were growing upon it. An
excavation was made, and a few feet
below the earth the rough pine coffin
was found, and in it were the remains
of young Jackson.

and about a carload of cattle were
killed No one was injured, but those
on the train were treated to a severe
shaking up. The wreck was caused by
one OF the cars near the middle of the
train jumping the track. A track was
at once built around the wreck, 90 that
