The Swiss Presidents Experiences IN Libby
Prison,

! 4 & r i = ( & IL 4 5Es
Ten months after my capture the fate
which .hey had escaped seemed in store
for me. A Northern court-martial had
condemned to death three Confederate
officers, Mayor Armsey, Captain Gorden,
and Lieutenant Davis. By order of Jeffer-
son Davis, three of our officers were
taken as hostages for the condemnei,
and the lot fell upon Major Robert Golf,
of West Virginia; Lieutenant Manning,
OF. Massachusetts, and myself. The COM
mander of the Libby Prison apprised us
Of the fact, and declared positively that
If Armsey, Gordon, and Davis should be
hanged, no earthly power would save us
from the same fate. Without further
notice we Were transferred to the cellar,
and there confined to durk cell, nine
feet long by six and half feet wide.
This happened on May 3, 1864. I was
then twenty-five and half years of age,
the oldest of the three. We had hitherto
suffered almost unbearable hunger, but
there now began, besides the agony of
confinement, real starvation. Our daily
ration, which we received every day about
noon, consisted of /. little piece of corn
bread, morsel Of rancid bacon, and six
or seven spoonfuls of niggerbeans or rice
of the meanest quality. By strict order
OF the government, the total ration was
not t. exceed the weight of three-quart-
ers of pound and two ounces. Very
fortunately, there We're number of rats
IN the cellar, and they paid US visit the
first night of our confinement. Friend
Manning, who was clever and imagin-
ative man, proposed to hunt these horrid
animals, which, especially at night, used
to fight most fercely. He constructed
trap, and we used our half-rotten bacon
as bait. The rat having been caught, it
was my business to raise the cover until
it showed its head, when the major had
to set to work and to belabor its head
with log until it was dead. Next
morning the rats were cooked by the
negro who had to clean our cell, and
then we ate them. 1t required dreadful
hunger to conquer the disgust we had for
these beasts.-From "My American ex-
periences," by the President of the Swiss
Republic, Emil Frey, in North American
Review for February.

Biggest Head in Congress.

They are remarkable PAIR, facing one
another. Reeds extraordinary physical
appearance is we'll known. but Cockran's,
which is not SO generally known, is
regarded by the Philadelphia Record as
equally extraordinary. Cochran has the
biggest head in either house of congress.
It is the longest, the broadest, the thick
est. His hair is long and thick, his eyes
are large, bright and producing, his eye
brows large and heavy, his mouth shaded
with moustache and his chin with a
little tuft of beard. His head is set on
short, thick neck between the shoul-
ders so broad and over chest so deep
as to be disproportionate with his legs
and arms. It is the mead, neck and
chest of one type of orator, so that if you
had not heard him say a word you would
think he was an eloquent speaker. When
he is speaking a resemblance to the lion,
which everyone thinks of at first sight,
is heightened by the way he tosses his
hair and shows his teeth and strides up
and down the aisle. He has the greatest
voice in either house of congress. 1t is
the loudest, strongest and it would be
the most musical if he did not so soon
become hoarse with excitement, 1t fills
the hall Of the house so that the rafters
seem to vibrate and carries for the mo-
ment as with the rush of the cavalry
charge everything and everybody before
it. His opponents can hardly refrain
from joining in the applause which
seems to his supporters d fai2t way of
expressing the enthusiasm which he has
stirred up within them. At such mo-
ments you realize the power which the
great Irish orators had over their con-
stituents, for You feel that if Cochran
could demand Immediate action three
fourths of his hearers would do what
ever he wanted them to do. After they
have spoken Reed is one of the first to
congratulate Cochran, as Cochran is one
of the first to congratulate Reed, and as
soon as they can get away they will go
out in the speakers lobby behind the
house to smoke together, or down to the
house restaurant to lunch together, or,as
on last Saturday, after they had been
fencing in the debate, they will leave the
capitol and walk down Pennsylvania
avenue arm in arm, as happy as two boys
lust out of school.

The Sons of Rest.

Webster, S. d., has just established
| chapter of the Sons of Rest. The Reporter
and Farmer says that any red or white
male over 81 who will make affidavit
that he has not worked for over six
weeks is eligible. Some of the y-laws are
as follows:
'The seal of the order shall bea setting
sun and a Tyre recumbent with the motto,
'Let Others Work
''The use of the pick shovel and hay fork
is strictly prohibited.
"Any member found riding on a loaded
wago.. will be a subject OF investigation.
wharfage is looked upon with great
disfavor by the order as being too con-
duciye to work.
"Any we'll selected sickness, with its
attendant comforts, is not considered
derogatory to the good of the order.
1T shall be the duty of all members in
good standing to attend all shows, dan
ces, entertainments and funerals, at
which no admission fee is charged.
Working the farmer is not con-
sidered manual labor and must not be
construed to the disadvantage of bankers,
collectors, etc seeking admission.
"Postmasters and other federal officials
out of job, may be received into the
order at the expiration of their terms of
office.''
The late Henry W. Grady, of Atlanta,
Georgia, the eloquent ''New South ora
tor, was protectionist, although a de-
mocrat, and in stating his views once
said:
81 attended a funeral in Pickens coun-
ty, Georgia, of poor man. They bur
led him in the midst of a marble quarry:
they cut through the solid marble to
make his grave and yet the little tomb
stone they put above him was from Yer
mont. They buried him in the midst of
. pine forest, and yet the pine coffin vas
imported from Cincinnati. They buried
him within touch of an iron mine and vet
the nails in his coffin and the iron in the
shovel that dug the grave were imported
from Pittsbnrg. They buried him by the
side OF the best sheep grazing country
on the earth, and yet the wool in the cof-
fin bands themselves were brought from
the north. The South did not furnish a
thing on earth for that funeral but the
corpse and the hole in the ground. There
they put him away and clods ratified
down on the coffin; and they buried him
In q New ! ork coat and Boston pair
Of shoes, and pair of breeches from
Chicago and shirt, from Cincinnati,
leaving him nothing to carry into the
world with hin, to remind him of the
country in which be lived and for which
he fought for four years but the chill of
blood IN his veins and the marrow IN
his bones"

The board Of managers of the Hope and
Help Mission, or Home for Unfortunate
Women and Girls. located at 622 H street
northwest, are maturing plans for a public
meeting to be held in the interests of this
worthy charity, on next Sunday afternoon,
at $3.50 o'clock, at the First Congregational
Church. The mission is wholly non-sectar-
ian, and is supported entirely by voluntary
contributions, only $500 having been secur-
ed from Congress for the payment of rent
this year. The unusually hard winter for
the poor has made heavy drains upon the
resources of the board of managers thirty
eight women having received shelter in the
mission the whole or a part of January
and thirty-sX for a similar length of time
in February, and about an equal number
SO far in March. Service places have been
secured for many, and nine have been sent
to the various hospitals for treatment
sion for shelter until able to go to work
The service Sunday afternoon will be ad-
dressed by Rev. DIR. Kelly, Rev. f.. d. Bailey
and ladies of the board of directors Mrs
S. d. LaFetra, chairman; Mrs. NJ. f. Cat
lin, secretary. Mr.. James T. Petty and Mr..
T. Jarvis and Mrs. E. X. Knowles, also
members of the board, will participate in
the service. Good music will be furnished
and reports given. On the principle that
an ounce of prevention is worth many
pounds of cure, Congressman Morses bill
for the punishment of seduction will be in
dorsed by the meeting, with some brief
speeches in favor of the bill.
