1.-THE Old Boy."

He could not have been more than five
and twenty when he joined the regiment in
September, 1862, yet he had not been in the
saddle week before he was known in the
command as 'sThe Old Boy.n
This nickname savors of familiarity il
not of disrespect; yet Hood-that was his
real name-wa& so self contained and reti.
cent that even The colonel would have hest
tated before addressing him in familiar
way. And as -. the men, brave and rug
ged though they were. the strongest OF
them knew that the Old Boy was just the
kind of fellow to resent an indignity, and
then as he was built like an athlete and
carried himself oIeeoot with tigerlike
strength and grace there was pretty gen.
eral belief in the regiment that he would
be hard case to tackle.
- Unlike most of our recruits, the Old Bow
was splendid horseman, and he had not
been with us week before we found out
that he could teach the saber to, the best Of
us and could give the colonel himself points
in cavalry tactics.
The Old Boy,wss Of medium height, with
black hair and fine gray eyes, that had in
them the introverted expression OF man
much given to self comnlining.

older than myself, and must confess, al

Mrs. Boggs' Diamonds.

Mrs. Boggs was widow of five and forty,
and as she dressed like girl in her teens
there was very general and by no means
an erroneous impression among her neigh
bors that she was quite ready to change her
name from Boggs to something else it any,
thing like fair chance offered.
Mrs. Boggs was reported to be rich. As
matter of fact the late lamented, who had
been a lard refner, left her just enough to
live comfortably on, but she was not at all
averse to the fictitious reputation for opu-
lence-indeed she was inclined to encourage
it.
Being childless, Mrs. Boggs had only her
self to think of, and being entirely selfish
she would not have neglected herself even
if she had children.
She did very unusual things. For in
stance, when a sturdy bachelor preacher
took charge Of her favorite church, Mrs.
Boggs suddenly blossomed out with profu-
sion of diamond jewelry that dazzled the
eyes of all the women in the congregation in
addition to filing their hearts with envy.
If an ordinary woman had appeared in
public with all these glittering things on
her person, people would have turned up
their noses and said, "Paste-a dollar a
bushel." But Mrs. Boggs, being rich or
credited with being rich, which is the same
thing, could afford diamonds, and so these
were no doubt the genuine thing,
But, as matter of fact, all these dia-
monds were false, and Mrs. .Boggs knew it
when she invested $25 for the lot, mount
hgs included.
Mrs. Boggs could not long keep from the
burglars and thieves the knowledge of her
possessions. That she was very rich and
had diamonds worth thousands soon be-
came known to Black Jim. noted cracks
man, and he and his pals, realizing that
they could not get them by fair means, de-
termined to have them by foul
The house was broken into, and Mrs.
Boggs, after being frightened into hyster-
les, was despoiled of some cash and all her
jewelry.
The thieves discovering that the stones
were bogus broke the jewelry up in their
anger and threw it away, but this was not
the end.
The broken jewelry was found by three
workmen, and then some officers found it
on them. They were charged with the
crime and had d hard time proving their
innocence, but they did establish without
trouble the fact that the diamonds were
bogus. w aa

I found opportunities to show my feelings
for him.
In the Perryville campaign he distin-
guished himself and would have been made
fourth sergeant Of my company, but he
firmly but courteously declined.
The first time saw the Old Boy under
fire he bore himself so much like veteran
that came to the conclusion that he had
been there before.
On picket, on the march, and often when
lying down dismounted waiting for the
bugle to sound the charge, have tried to
get the Old Boy to talk-preferably about
himself, bnt if not that about anything.
But while he said just what was necessary
to say about his duties as a soldier, he shut
up like sphinx whenever went outside
of that.

In the Atlanta campaign we were one

doing vidette duty in front Of the -Four
tenth corps with Hardee's Confederates
facing us. The Old Boy was in charge of
a post, and I recall that during the night
there was some desultory firing.
When the men were drawn in at daylight,
the Old Boy was not with them. The men
who had been out with him said they saw
him about an hour before daylight, but
not after that. There had been no firing in
their front.
There were few who believed the Old
Boy had deserted, but they were new men.

ceased to mourn the missing or the dead.
Just three days after this we were ad-
vancing through the woods where the Old
Boy was last seen when we came upon him
seated with his back against arock and a
great brown splash on his breast. He was
dead as the stone behind him. Grasped in
the'strong brown hand was the picture of
a girl, but the face was indistinct, for his
lifeblood had fallen on it.
We buried him on the spot, and before
the earth was shoveled in placed the pic

The coming summer will be alive with
interest. The dreaded Asiatic Cholera
threatens us, and the Columbian Exhibi-

things. Everyone is awake to watchful-
ness in the former, and all are hoping the
scourge may be kept away.
Scientists state that Cholera is always
introduced into the system through the
stomach.

drink are our sources of danger.

their origin will be unknown, and the

Careless eating and drinking, if the

AN ACCIDENT ON THE TERMINAL
NARROWLY AvERTED.
Two Men Put on Of Trsfn for Not
Paying Their Fare Attempt
to Murder Lot Of
Innocent People.

A terrible accident on the Terminal
railway was narrowly averted last night
by a cool-headed gentleman, a resident
of Garvanza.
On the train that left this city at 8 &c
last evening for Pasadena were two men
who refused to pay their fare, and they
were accordingly put off the cars near
Garvanza. They were full OF revengeful
feeling, evidently, for they went short
distance up the track and soon piled up
enough big stones ON the rails to have
derailed dozen trains. Then they left
to await developments.
The train that had left Pasadena at z
O'Clock for this city was, of course, due
in short time, as the two pass just q
short distance from Garvanza. This
was well loaded with passengers, who,
until they read this account. will not
know of their narrow escape from mutt
lation or death.
A gentleman who resides near the
place mentioned, accidentally happened
to pass the spot where the distractions
had been placed, and, looking at his
watch, saw that he had not time enough
to remove the stones before the west
bound train would arrive. He hastily
improvised flag from portion of his
clothing, and running down the toward
the oncoming locomotive, by his frantic
signals succeeded in bringing the train
to stsndssill just in time to save the
passengers lives. The train crew soon
removed the stones, and few if any of
the passengers knew Why the train had
stopped. Later the two men who had
attempted the horrible crime were ar
rested and brought to this city and
lodged in the county Jail.
Later-Detective Insley, who arrested
the two men, who are Indians. stated
that there is a clear case against them,
as the man who succeeded in stopping
the train saw them piling up the OBJ
struction on the track. Detective Insley
found the two fellows in South Pasa-
dena and brought them to this city.
