san FEAvcIsco. June IA strange romance
comes from the state asylum in Agnews.
Nearly year ago bright appearing young
woman. who gave her name as Mrs. Evelyn
Leonore BaIiou Miiis-Evans, was arrested
here for swindling fashionable boarding
houses ard maid and nurse who had trusted

she strangely encountered an acquaintance of

Clarence Burley lost no time in adjusting
his affairs with the firm. His expressed reso-
luton to go North amazed aud enraged the
paternai Dunoyer. who was delighted to learn
of the high and proper spirit his daughter
had displayed to her recreant lover. Burley
returned to Cincinnati, observing with deep
concern wherever the boat landed as she
steamed up to Cairo. the excitement and
belliGerence in all the river towns.
He was in painful perplexity until the news
OF the firing on Sumter had electrified the
land. That aroused every spark of patriot
ism in his breast, as it did in myrlads of
others, and he Immediately volunteered.
Within few weeks he quilted the city as
lieutenant of a company in an Ohio infantry
regiment. and performed military service un-
der Gen. Mcclellan in West Virginia Dur
ing the campaign there. in which skirmlshes
were exaggerated into battles, he gained no
little knowledge of the duties of a soldier, and
was promoted to captaincy. He learned
one thing-that he could preserve his cool
ness under fire, and that what is called
courage is largely getting accustomed to
danger At first he had imagined that every
shot brought dawn a man, but experience
taught him how many bullets are wasted and
how many men in imminent peril escape un-
hurt. His regiment was transferred with
Mcclellan to Virginia, where he saw war in
grander and more terrible form, especially
after the commander-in-chief had been super
seded, than he had done before.
The hottest engagement in which he took
part as major-I have heard him describe it
was that Of Gettysburg, which, with the
capture of yicksburg, should have terminated
the conflict. for after that the cause of the
Confederacy was hopeless. If the enemy had
been less desperate nearly two years fighting
and hundreds Of thousands of lives might
have been saved. The Southerners, like all
true Americans. did not know when they
were beaten; or If they did know it they
stubbornly refused to make acknowledge

Mr.. Warner told the committee that large
amount of his information came from con-
versation with members OF the House who
were discussing the events relating to sugar
duties. He was asked who these members
were, and in every instance declined to give
the name Of any of his fellow-members OF the
House. The committee says that the testi-
mony which Mr.. Warner refused to give was
Of hearsay character and not OF such i'm
portance that would warrant any extraordi-
nary methods to obtain.
There is expressed great desire TO have the
testimony that has recently been taken printed
for use in the Senate before the vote is taken
on the sugar schedule, and it is probable that
II it IS available several blocks OF it will be
read.
Senator Mcpherson stated yesterday that
the alleged continuation of purchases OF
sugar stock by him after the bill passed the
House were untrue; that the purchase was
made by his son, and that after holding the
shares a week the Young man sold them with
out ever taking the certificates. Another
purchase OF 500 shares was caused by an

Much Of Cemetery ridge, which we held,
is SO rough that We could not employ artillery
to advantage, so that, with 200 guns, only
eighty were used. Seminary ridge, on the
contrary. was very favorable for artillery. and
the enemy placed 120 guns there and directed
them against US; but our infantry was so well
protected by the crest that they mostly kept
out of harms way. Our chief Of artillery after
awhile stopped firing, except occasionally,
awaiting the next movement of the enemy.

Burley had confided to me his broken en-
gagement with Clarisse Dunoyer. which made
him very unhappy. but which the stirring
events OF the long strife prevented from prey
ing on his mind. The surrender at Appomat-
tox came and he had received but two flesh
wounds: both soon healed.
He went soon after into business in
Chicago. where l encountered him seven
years later in Wabash avenue. He told me
he was married, whereupon l spoke OF Cla-
risse, and the close of the comedy which
might have closed tragedy.
''You can't expect a man." he said, "to be
loyal to woman who has virtually thrust
him out of doors" To which | agreed.
He invited me to visit him. and accepted.
l found his wife gentle and interesting and
his two small children-a boy and girl-intel-
liSent and attractive. They appeared to be q
most harmonious family, and ventured the
remark that he was probably as happy as IL
he had married Clarisse.

Dunoyer. aged 20. whose great grandfather
had emigrated from France and settled in the
province of Louisiana and Clarence Burley
a native of New York state who had been
educated IN Cincinnati and had gone to New
Orleans six years before, when he was 49, to
pursue a mercantile life. He had entered the
counting room of Pierre Dunoyer, a commits
sion merchant. and had risen to a confidential
place and had become an intimate friend of
the family, with every prospect of being u
partner in the firm of Dunoyer Co.
Thrown into close relations with Clarisse, a
handsome, intense brunette, with many traits
of her ancestral race, though distinctly an
American, he and she had naturally fallen in
love with each other. how or when either of
them could have told. She was a fiery little
creature, enthusiastic in any cause she
espoused, and a Louisianian. as she had often
said. to the core of her being. He had SYM
pathized with the South, especially since he
had determined to make his home there, and
had convinced himself that the North had. to
an extent. invaded her rights. He did not
believe however, that there would be a civil
war, even after a dozen states had formally
seeded from the Union. If there should be
he felt that he could not ally himself against
the government. And when ordered. in an
imperious manner. to decide between the
South and the girl to whom he was engaged
he had decided as We have seen.
His course had been quickened by his con-
sciousness of what seemed of late to be an
overbearing disposition on her part toward
him. Aware that her father was rich and
that he was comparatively poor, he may
have been suspicious that this was the cause
of her arrogance. At least he thought he
had given her ample opportunity to recall
her dictatorial speech, and she had scorned
him. .'She cannot love me, after ALL he
said to himself, as he walked briskly away
from her fathers house. 'If she did. she
would not, she could not, have driven me
away So"
Clarisse would have run after him to beg
him to return three minutes following her
outburst But it was too late. The closing
OF the street door was the knell OF her hope.

premely unwise.
Buriey. vino is a very good fellow, as he
was Il gallant officer, said TO me one evening
when we were indulging in "reminiscences of
the war that he had no expectation of surviv-
ing Gettysburg. Il had kind OF presenti-
ment that | should die on that field though

Nevertheless. could not throw 1t off. the
idea was not so nearly unpleasant as l had

perish in a good cause. and that when he does
so perish he is very unfortunate. He may be
very ordinary mortal, but death under
such circumstances makes him a hero and
embalms his memory.
Gettysburg was big fight and no mis-
take. Lee had nearly 100000 men, the best
and bravest he ever led. They were confident
OF victory, and that victory would realize
their long-cherished hope. 1t was their first
invasion OF the North. which had repeatedly
been urged by the Southern press. and they
were convinced that il would prove their
crowning triumph. The Fourth Of July, 1868.
as they fondly imagined, would prove their
new day Of Observation-Disclosures Of
the detested North.
''On the first day." said Major Burley, "my
regiment was with Howard's command after
Reynolds had been killed, and we were sue
cessful at the outset by our superior numbers,
taking many prisoners, but when Hill came
up from Chambersburg and Ewell irom Car

vastly greater strength. 1t was very warm
