ing duty for the Army OF Northern
Virginia, with the name OF "guer-
rilla" contemptuously flung at him
by the Federals. Mosby made them
pay dearly for all efforts at contempt
heaped on him. He and his men
were known as the hardest of hard
fighters, neither giving nor expecting
quarter.
DR.. j. VIM. Jones, who was with
us at the Bivouac reunion, and was a
guest, in part, of the writer, and an
old friend and schoolmate in old
Virginia, recalled part of Mosby's
history, connected with his student
life, at the University of Virginia.
Contrary to the general impression as
regards Mosby, he was an educated,
cultured man. He was a law stu
dent, but having a great taste for
Greek, studied that only in the AGA
demic school, 1t happened that
MOsby was the only man who gradu-
ated in Greek, alone. When he was
called up, in an immense hall, to re-
ceive his diploma, hats, bonnets,
ribbons, bouquets, etc, were show
cred on him from everywhere, amidst
the most uproarious shouts of "hur-
ra! Jack, "Mosby !" giving the APP
pearance of an ovation, for the win
ner of the honor.
He got into terrible fight with
very powerful fellow,student about
this time, and was about to be rough,
ly used, as he (Mosby) was very
small, spare man; but, before the
fight was finished Mosby had cut his
enemy very severely and almost IA
tally. He was tried and most bitter
ly prosecuted by the attorney-gener-
al, Judge Robinson, who spoke in
the case for four or five hours and
convicted Mosby, the penalty being
fixed by the court at six months i'm
prisonment in the county Jail. In a
day or two after his prisonment
Judge r.. went to the Jail and said to
the prisoner: "Mosby, you are too
intelligent man to be able to spend
this weary confinement without
mental employment. Now, | have
a proposition to make you. As you
have been already a IaW-student at
our University, want you to take
any book you choose from my law
library and continue your law course
under my guidance, and to show you
farther that, while prosecuting you as
the States attorney, / had no person
al bitterness toward you, l will in
struct you free of charge" Mosby'
Immediately, and with the grace of
a courtier, rose to his feet, and bow
ing to the judge, said: Judge R,
you prosecuted me severely and
faithfully, but while you proved me
a laW.breaker and caused my convic
ton, this act of kindness, now SO
generously rendered me, has wiped
from my heart all asperity of feeling
on my part to you, and accept your
offer thankfully and intend to profit
by it, And he did, so earnestly that

gave her large and comprehensive lick across
the face. She did not know whether to laugh
or cry, but Teddy said:
