SOLDIEHING WITH ASHBY.
John ate his breakfast, threw himself
down on a rude couch and slept until
three o'clock. The general, though
anxious to talk with him, would not al
low his sleep to be broken, but left in
structions to give him his dinner which
he awoke, and send him to headquar-
tiers.
About haf-past three he reported to
the general, nothing the worse for his
tremendous journey.

1851.

It was the fall of the fateful year 1861.
The southern states had seeded from
the union; bloody war was raging
throughout the land; Bull Run had been
fought; Gen. Lee was in command OF
the confederate forces in western Viz

was perhaps to those engaged the most
dismal campaign of the war.

THE DUEL

About five o'clock in the morning
John stepped ont Of his room into the
yard and was Immediately accosted by
Henry Gregory, who had been waiting
anxiously for him to appear. Henry

effects of q sleepless and anxious night.

John was i'll for several weeks, but q
good constitution and careful nursing
brought him around al right. When
he was convalescent Janet came into
his room one day and er1deavofaa to
apologize, as by this time she was
heartily ashamed Of herself. hnt John
quietly refused to thresh over any old
straw. He told her that it would be
best to let matters rest us they were: lie
bore her no III will, and WIS as ready
as ever to serve her, but he thoaght it
would be wise to let the past be buried

lie had quite an ovation that night al
supper time. and everyone seemed Sc
pleased to see him about again that he
was, in spite Of himself, led to believe
that life had not ended.
1t was the Hateful year 1860 Political
feeling was running very high, and
even Col Gregory had been drawn into
the vortex Of excitement. The colonel
was strong union man, but fully i'm
hued with the idea that lie owed his
first allegiance to his state: and though
he deprecated withdrawal from the
union. yet he felt that if the crisis came
he must stand by his state.
Henry was an ardent politician. and
was away much os his time, at tl4c
courthouse and elsewhere, gathering
information and expressing his views
with fiery zeal.
a general feeling Of unrest was
abroad and thoughtful men viewed the
situation with alarm and felt that re-
publican institutions were about to be
put to a test shat would strain them to
the utterlnosa.

cordially invited to take part in the
dedication of tho plot of ground so
generously donated to Branum: Post,
No. 22l, G. A. R.. by the directors Of

morning, commencing at 8 o'clock
sharp. Col. G. L. Poormhn, secretary

The fight between young Pollen and
Cox, which was made some time ago,
was to have been fough hit last night in a
hall at Etnaville, but it was stopped by
the police, and the crowd left for
Whisky run TO fight in the open air at
daybreak.
Shortly after Q o'clock Pollen and a
dozen or so friends returned to the city.
They said they had waited three hours
at Whisky run, and Cox never showed
up, and Pollen's friends made him
leave. 1t is not likely there will be an.
other attempt to fight.

that leather was on the free list, both Of
whom had to take the Register to task
for misquoting them, and ask to be set

thing costs more under the Mckinley
law than under the former tariff.
Mr.. William Schwertfeger, the well
known harness manufacturer, said yes
terday that his firm was buying leather
cheaper than ever before. This, OF
course. cheapens the cost Of the harness
to the farmer and teamster. But this is
not all. saddlery hardware is also
away down below the average in price.
Buckles and ornaments are cheaper
now than in the past, which is peculiar
in the face of the fact that tin enters to
considerable extent into the bright
hardware used by saddlers and trunk
makers. rfs
