the Confederate cause was just and that the Union troops were invaders, and all that sort of thing.
 "The Mountain View farm covered s good many acres of ground, but the owner was poor at the time, and sweet sixteen, as called the pretty blonde, had no shoes on her well-shsped little feet. Now had a brand new pair of army shoes in my knapsaek, and fairly good pair on my new pair if I would make her a present of them She seemed little loath to accept them at first, not because of pride. but because she thought it unfair to take them from a soldier who might soon stand in need of them himself. But at last she did accept them, and was real well pleased to do so. Of course they were a mile too big for her, but that didn't matter. She soon got used to them.
 'It used to be her custom to watch for foraginging soldiers, and then to send me after them to drive them away. One morn ing she said: Oh! Yank, there is a forager out there. Don't you see himi There he goes, under the trees over there
 "1 started out after the intruder, but I ran all over the part of the farm indicated without seeing any one. It was very warm, and was very warm and tired when re- turned. On seeing her I told her that I could not find one, when she laughed right in my face and said:
 "I just fooled the wild Yank for fun It was fun for her, but not for me. However. laughed with her. Just then I put my gun down on the ground, as was my habit, bayonet downward intending to stick it in to the ground, and thus let the piece stand reversed. But instead of that I stuck it through her shoe and pinned the beautiful girl fast
 II was never so frightened in my life as was then. I would not have harmed the young woman for the world: she had be- come to me like sister"
 Maybe wasn't glad when saw twin kle in her bright, blue eyes, and heard her sweet voice ringing in laughter as she said:
 Well, Yank, you did not hurt me A bit; you know these shoes are trifIe laroe for me, and your bayonet just went through the upper and sole without grazing my toes.'

How q Car Col Away.

From the Deadyile Herald and Democrat
 Engineers Jack West, Bill Gondon and Jack Sprung yesterday were talking about old times and the experience they had on different roads, when Jack told the follow ing:
 ''It is not necessary 10 give the name of the road on which was running, but let me say it was for several miles as crooked a piece of track as I ever travelled over. One day we started out with foriy-seven freight cars, and when we reached our destination we had only forty-six. No car had been switched and the affair was a mystery. The conductor and his crew were fired, and for two days no one knew where the missing car was. On the sec ond day the superintendent received a let ter from the agent near the worst curve on the rood, stating he had found the missing car lying in the ditch. We were going over the line at a pretty good rate of speed, and tine train broke in two, the missing car jumped the track, the rear section overlook the first section, Jumping into it with just force enough to jar the coupling pin, which had remained up when the train broke, into place, and we pulled into the station as we thought with full train"

From the Baltimore Herald
 Here is the story of an incident during the last all-pight session of the house, which bears on its face many marks of ve- rity, not the least among which is the appropriation of some of the conversation direct from the pages of the Congressional Record. About five o'clock in the morn ing, when the house was in a reckless mood, ready either to fight or to have fun, & member who had been indulging freely in the hospitalities of the cloak room, came unsteadily down toward the bar of the house and said:
 'Misht Speak"
 The speaker turned to see who it WAS that addressed him. He smiled and then recognized the member.
 "Misht Speak. risesh to paIlment in quiries."
 ''The gentleman can rise to only one parliamentary inquiry st time"
 The member with the inquiry on his mind looked at the speaker with glazed, fshy eyes for moment and then sat down to consider the situation After ponder ing it for few minutes he appeared to have solved the speakers meaning and rose again. He got up slowly, as one who lifts great burden, swaying from side to | side as he stood on his feet and held on to | the desks for support. 'Misht Speak, Misht Speak, Tisssh tc

 "Misht Speak, impairment inquiry finish. Ten days ago"
 Here he forgot what he was going to say, and stood mute but not motionless. He swayed. He gazed at the speaker with hopeless look in his eyes, and wavered backward and forward The speaker waited & full minute for him to continue. and seeing that he could not, he looked down on him with an amused air and said in his dryest tones:
 The gentleman is out of order. ''Ten days ago is not parliamentary inquiry. |"
 The house roared as the member with the inquiring turn collapsed into his chair more hopeless and helpless than ever.

to-persons schooled in diplomacy.
The State Department is not anx-

the seekers after information to
draw their own differences from
facts which cannot be hidden. But
grave apprehension is felt in the
White House and at the State
Department.
"When Minister Fava's recall

dependence, Mo.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, April g.
The two branches of the Mormon
Church at Independence, Mo-,
known respectively as the Hen
drickites and the Recognized
Church, are fighting for the posses
sion of Mount Zion. Mount Zion
is a low hill of about four acres in
extent, and was selected by Joseph
Smith as the place where all the
elect will assemble on judgment
day and from there be taken into
heaven.
I The Mormons believe that the
foundations of a magnificent temple
laid many years ago by the Angel
Gabriel are just under the surface
of the ground, and the place is
pitted with holes dug by Jealous
believers who have endeavored to
discover the walls. Some time.
so they believe, the Angel Gabriel
and his hosts will descend from
heaven and uncover these founda-
tons, and then In a single nigh,
they will erect one of the most
beautiful temples ever beheld by
mortal eyes. The Hendrickites
have a church on Mount q on and
the title to the property is vested
in one of their number as trustee.
The Recognized Church is con-
testing the title. Last night the
church building was nearly wreck
ed. All the windows we're broken,
the furniture was turned upside
down and tie altar was overturned.
The Hendrlckites claim the de-
%struction was done by the Reformed
Church. The members of the lat
ter body deny that the church was
involved in 1t, but admit that some
individual members might have
taken part in it.
