CapturinS q Mule.

Another incident of Gen. Sherman's
march to the sea is related by writer
in the Comrade, and Is substantially as
follows:
During Sherman's march to the sea
we all got marching enough. We got.
very tired of the everlasting up one
hillside, down another, and crossing
narrow valleys, or mayhap following
some stream for day or more. 1t
seemed as If the world was growing
larger in that part, and we were fol-
lowing the largest part.
At Cowpens became possessed OF
what is called a war-halter--a simple
affair, made of rope. Soon after three
of us set out to see what we could
find" We found plantation, but
that was not movable property; but in
pen stood nice, honest-looking mule.
Now my halter comes in use. began
to sxirmish with that mule. He sur
rendered so soon that ! supposed had
found prize, and determined to ride
into camp. No trudging on foot here
after-I owned a mule.
With little aid from my comrades l
mounted, taking with me my knapsack,
haversack, canteen, cartridge-box and
sixty rounds, and singing my musket
over my shoulder was ready to march.
Muley was not ready. He seldom is
ready. Twas not much surprised. having

Photography .ni Forgerr.

Photography is being applied with
great success in the direction of falsi
fication OF handwriting. The picture
can always be enlarged. and erasure,
and alterations can be seen more
plainly than in the original A re,
markable fact is that the photograph.
ic sight is infinitely keener than hu
man eyesight and brings out distinct
ly difference in inks which cannot be
perceived by the eye. The differenc.
can be considerably intensified by tn,
use OF suitably colored light and colo,
sensitive plates In this name,
marked differences in the various ink,
can be clearly demonstrated. Cap
tain Abney. the chairman OF the Pho
tographic Society Of Great Britain
states that he once examined an en-.
craving which was reputed to be O
value. and by means OF photography
he was able TO bring out the origina
signature under spurious one which
had been added. The picture turnet

A War Timc Paper.

1t has been claimed that during the
war the only Union paper published
in the South was issued ut Memphis.
In 1864, however, three issues of a
paper, intensely Union, came out down
IN Texas. This paper was called The
Old Flag. It was written at Camp Ford
Tyler, Smith county, Texas, and cir
culated among the Union prisoners at
that place. The paper was gotten up
with pen and ink in remarkably
clever way by Capt. w. II. May,
.nen prisoner at the camp.
The first issue of the
paper was dated Feb. II, 1864, and in
this issue it is stated that Gin order to
render payments more easy for our
patrons we will accept instead of the
cash Lincoln coffee, green or black tea,
spices, butter beans, cheese, Irish pota-
toes, rice, saleratus, fine-cut or Kill
kenic tobacco, wines, liquors or cigars"
In the first issue the announcement of
a grand concert with the violin lately
purchased from one of the guard for
800 Confederate money, is made. The
issue contains number Of well-gotten-
up humorous articles and q curious
collection of advertisements. On the
third page is a proclamation as coming
from President Lincoln, ordering the
inhabitants to meet and elect civil
officers. The last page contains list
of the officers held at the prison.
The second issue, dated March 5,
1864, contains an, account of the way
the prisoners celebrated Washington's
with a strong poem by Lieut..
Col A. ]. II. Duganne, and an account
Of the election of Morton of Indiana
as Governor. On the last page, among
other things, is very clever book

by some Of the prisoners, entitled,
