We were near the end of the line,
and, crawling along the ditch as far as
he could, Adjt. Durham sprang on
top of the earthworlx and tumbled
headlong down towards the ravine,
the movement being so sudden that
the sharpshooters were taken off their
guard. But they caught glimpse OF

knew his purpose and that watchful
eyes were bent upon that little ravine

But the momentary enjoyment was
perfect He drank deep draughts of
the cool spring water, bathed his face
and drank again. Then he filled the
canteens, and strapping everything
close around him, he made ready to
run the gauntlet. With bold dash
he sprang out of the ravine, when
like hailstorm came the bullets, cut
ting the very dirt from under his feet
and knocking several puffs of dust
from his blanket and ragged jacket.
But he escaped unscathed, and was in
the trench in twinkling.
"D-n 'eIn, I'm going to give 'em one
shot for luck" exclaimed a seventeen.

favorite with Durham.

A HAPPY NATION.
The French, rs n Rule, Look Upon the
Bright Side of Life.

The French, rs n Rule, Look Upon the
Bright Side of Life.
1t is generally conceded that the
happiest people on earth, as whole,
are the French. They are happy, be-
cause they are contented, and one con
spicuous reason why they are contented
is because the great mass of them live
in their own homes. Not more than 80
per cent of the French people rent
the quarters they live in. They are,
indeed, the best sheltered people in the
world. Though there are only SS,oOo,-
600 of them they have 100000 dwell
lighthouses. This, as will readily be
seen, provides house for every 80
persons, another exhibition of French
thrift. In America, in 1890, there were
5.45 persons to every dwelling, forty
years before, or in 1850, 5.94. or near
ly six people to every dwelling, and
yet in France the population is much
more dense than in this country. There
are on an average 1877 people to each
square mile, while in the United States
there are but 81, and in the North
Atlantic states only l07 to the square
mile. In the United States, in 1890,
only 41.5 of the farms and houses al
together were owned by the occupants,
the remaining $50 per cent. being oc'
cupied by tenants and those occupying
the same at rental. OF the homes in
American cities and villages 6S.2 pei
cent. are rented houses.

FRANKiNe IN ENGLAND.
Now old-Tlmo Members of Parliament.
Sent Their Mail Free.

HOW Old-Tltno Members OF Parnaments
Sent Their Mail Free.
Franking was one of the privileges
of a member of parliame mt, who might
have his letters delivered, and had the
right TO dispatch them free of charge.
Mr.. Hyde, in Tie Royal Mail, says:
Before the year 1764 mem bers of par
lament had merely to write their
names on the covers to insure their cor
respondence free passage through the
post, and packets of such franks were
furnished by members to their friends,
who laid them past for use as occasion
required. Nay more, a trade was car
ried on in franks by the servants of
members, whose practice it was to ask
their masters to sign them in great
numbers at n time.
1T was even suspected, and probably
with sufficient reason, that franks
were forged to a large extent, and, had
postage been paid on all franlsed corre-
spondence, it is estimated that the re-
venue would have been increased by
el70,o0o. In the hope of imposing some
greater check on the evil, it was
enacted in 1868 that the whole super
scription must be in the handwriting
of the member"
1t must be remembered that there
was then-a-days no handy envelope in
which to slip a letter when written
Generally quarto sheet of paper was
used, the fourth page being left blank.
The top and bottom of the sheet were
folded over, almost meeting; then the
sides were likewise folded and doubled
over, one tucked into the otner, and
the seal or wafer affixed. On the other
side (about the size and shape of an or
dinary business envelope), the address
was written in the center, the name of
the post town and the date the letter
was posted above. and the name of the
member who franked it in the left-hand
corner
The whole of this inscription, as we
have seem had to be in the handwrit-
ing of the member; the frank was only
| available on the date named on the
cover, and, if the superscription
| CHANGED to be incorrect, the letter was
| charged in the ordinary way. This
was no joke to the recipient, because a
members frank cleared an ounce, no
matter how many Enclosures a letter
might containswhereas the postage on
an unfranlied letter was doubled if the
| smallest scrap of paper was inclosed. a
| letter being charged according to the
number of Enclosures it contained, and
| the distance it had to travel, instead OF
| by weight, as now.-Longman's Maga-
zine.

oG- Mt Atlantic City.
For repeating to Gen. Butler, then in
command of the army of the james, n
n disparaging remark made by sub
ordinate concerning the generals mil
itary efficiency, an officer in the Penn.
sylvania regiment was promised a
sound thrashing by the officer whom
he had reported, and who, in conse-
quence suffered n bad quarter of an
hour in the generals society.
The thrashing was to be bestowed
after the war was over, at their very
first meeting, no matter under what
circumstances it might occur.
The two officers became prominent
civilians in adjoining states. For
many years one of them went armed
with revolver. the other with u
blank bill bond.
Though often in this city (where one
of them resided) at the same time,
they never met until the other day,
and then they encountered each other
face to face in the surf at Atlantic
City.
Each had grown so stout as to weigh
over two hundred and fifty pounds, yet
they instantly recognized each other

An interrupted Bath-An Artillery Duel
In the sherman Campaign.
Inch by inch the grnyjackets had re-
tired from the Tennessee mountains,
contesting every vantage ground down
to Kenesaw. But strive as they might,
the advancing column of Shcrmans
legions was too much for them, and
even from the heights of Kenesaw
mountains we were driven down
through the Altoona hills to the Chat
tahoochee. river On July IS, 1864,
dusty and battlc-stained, we stood on
the banks of that stream and gazed
upon it's waters rolling along far be-
low. Masking our cannon on the bluff
that overlooks Niclsajack creek, we
made break for the river, little dream
ing that there was Yankee within
twenty miles of us.
In few minutes the river was full
of naked "rebs" disporting in, the
waters so deliciously cool after that
long hot march through the Altoona
hills. We were only six or seven hun
dred yards above the mouth of Nicka-
jack and the water was quite shallow,
ms the long drought had brought the
river down.
Suddenly from the direction of Nick
mack there was n ''pow, pow, pow"
hut the bullets came whistling along
only to splash the water harmlessly,
the range being too long. Imagine
the amazement with which we beheld
squadron of federal cavalry Mt the
mouth of Nicl<ajaclk, blazing away at
us with their carbines, and only pre-
vented from completing our surprise
by their inability to ascend the almost
perpendicular bluff that rose on our
side of the stream. There were some
five thousand of us, but our numbers
counted little when we had not even

a HIDDEN CHAPTER.
Gen. Pickctt's Connection with the Rec
ords of tho Confederacy.

ords of tho Confederacy.
Frank Riggs, the son of the famous
banker and his fathers successor in
the financial circles at Washington,
tells me an interesting story that cor
rects false impression which many
good people have carried for wears.
During the second term of President
Grant man of the name of Pickett
sold to the government of the United
States the records of the executive de-
partments of the southern confederacy.
From these documents was obtained
much evidence that prevented the pay
ment of claims of southern citizens
who pretended loyalty for losses grow
ing out of the war. In a single in
stance they saved several millions bv
showing that mail contractors through
out the south had been paid from the
confederate treasury for services per-
formed by them for the post office de-
partment of the United States before
the outbreak of the rebellion. They
proved to be of great value in many
other directions, and the price paid Mr..
Pickett for them, which was something
like sixty thousand dollars, proved to
be one of the most profitable invest
ments ever made by the government.
Pickett had been chief clerk of the
confederate state department, or held
some similar office which made him
custodian of the archives. When Pres
ident Davis and his cabinet fled from
Richmond Mr.. Pickett carted the rec
ords away and hid them in some place
that RSnann1 tho %
union army and the manner of
their disappearance was mystery
until they were delivered to Secretary
Fish. 1t was always believed that Mr..
Pickett poclxeted the money, and he
was universally condemned by south
erp people for betraying the secrets of
the lost cause for u price.
THE facts have never been told, ="
said Mr.. Riggs, for Mr.. Pickett ex-
acted the strictest pledges of secrecy
from my father in regard to the dis
! position of the money. But both of
them are dead now, and there is no
reason why the truth should not be
known. Mr.. Pickett never had the
benefit of one penny of the money he
received from the government for
those records. He deposited the en-
tire amount as soon as he received il
in our bank to the credit of George
w. Riggs, trustee for and it was dis.
tributed in small amounts among the
widows of confederate officer DIR.
Pickett made out the list of the people
I to whom he wished it sent. The
checks were all signed by my father
Each one was accompanied by letter
which he prepared and which my
father signed, saying that the enclos
ure was forwarded at the request of q
gentleman who felt an interest ir
their welfare, but for reasons of his
own desired that his identity should
not be disclosed. The account was
carried for several years and all the
checks and vouchers are now packed
away in our bank. ls."-Chicago Record

SUNDAY SCHOOL EXHIBITION
A Large Crowd Find Engagement
at Eva Yesterday.

The Sunday School Exhibition
at Eva yesterday was a great sue
cess. Six loaded cars left the
depot in the morning, carrying
about $50 people, not counting the
babies, and left them by the way
side: whence they picked their way
across the rice-felds to the Eva
church on the bluff. The day was
perfect, the scenery at it's best, the
preparations thoroughly made.
Promptly at 1920 AN. the exer-
cises were begun under the leader
ship of Rev. E. S. Timoteo, the dis
trict Sunday-school superintendent.
The audience more than filled the
church, and as the various classes
appeared, showed by their discrim-
mating approval that those exer-
cises that were in good taste were
worthy of applause. Some of the
singing was very artistic and in
delightful harmony; others seemed
to have been prepared on the theory
that rapidity and loudness were
the desirable qualities to be sought.
The Eva people had prepared an
abundant feast, and when the exer-
cises at the church were over there
was stampede for the grove where
the tables were spread with poi and
fish and luaued beef. The collec-
ton amounted to 1921. This will
pay a large part of the expenses,
and leave something for the treas
ury of the general Sunday-school
Association.
