COLONEL PRITCHARD.

flying his chances Of escape. Pritchard
had 1875 men. Before swooping down on
the cluster Of tents he dispatched Lieu
tenant Purinton, with IS men, to the
rear Of the camp to cut off all means of
escape. This incident led to the tragic
ending of the episode. Before the captors
could summon their prisoners out of the
tents several carbines rang out on the
still morning air in the direction taken
by Purinton's company. Gould it bean
ambush or the arrival Of rescue party
on the heels of the captors? The Michi-
gan men answered the shots, and when
Colonel Pritchard reached the scene of
firing he found Lieutenant Purinton and
two troopers lying in their blood and
stretched in front Of them several strange
cavalrynen. Shouting to his men to
cease firing, he rode between the lines
and hailed their antagonists. "What
troops are these?' "First Wisconsin +"
''Then we are friends. =" The Wisconsin
men had been marching some days in a
route parallel to Pritchrd's and by a
singular fatality had swooped down from
the opposite side at exactly the same
moment The camp lay in the woods,
and in the deep morning shadows they
supposed that Purinton's men were
simply the camp guards patrolling the
last bivouac of the Confederacy.
The stories Of Davis disguise are con-
f1icting. Colonel Pritchard received
from Mrs. Davis a waterproof cloak or
robe" and "a shawl" which she stated
were worn by her husband when arrest
ed. George Munger, who halted Davis,
said that he had on "a lady's water
proof cloak or dress and red and black
or black and white shawl, thrown over
his head and shoulders, over a suit Of
gray clothes and pair Of cavalry boots. {"
Munger's superior, Lieutenant Dickin-
son, who was present, stated that ''Da-
Wis had on a black dress, and though it
did not fit fairly at the neck. it covered
his form to the boots. The boots betray-
ed the disguise. A black shawl covered
his head and shoulders. His identity
was confirmed by the removal Of the
shawl from his face.
The claim of Davis friends was that
he was not disguised as woman-sim
ply threw on the cloak and shawl to
keep off morning dampness.

through fire md blood to achieve Rlody
for the cause they had SO long battled ho

the cause was not lost any more than the
cause Of American liberty was lost lat
certain grave crises Of the Revolution.
Energy, courage and constancy might
save all
He asked for suggestions from tie
council as to the future conduct of the
war. The officers were amazed and a.
most cowed by the courage and pertinac-
ity of the executive. They held the spir-
it Of the camps, where peace was mue
than welcomed, and told Mr.. Davis I'm
halting phrases that the south was not
panic stricken it was broken down aid
worn out. They further explained THAT
they had kept the field for the sole puir-
pose Of helping him to escape capture
and degradation, that they would fiplt
to that end and could depend upon their
soldiers for any sacrifice.
The next act in the drama Of FLIGHT
was the departure from Charlotte Of D.
Wis and his remaining cabinet and staff
under the escort Of 20 picked men and
officers, the most gallant fellows in the
cavalry bivouacs They had been select
ed for their intelligence, strength and
courage, just the men to fight to the
death for any purpose they had sworn to
carry out. The cavalcade marched south,
and at the same time the brigade com
manders, choosing a few hundred men
each, rode off in various directions to
divert the attention Of the enemy from
Davis movements. Meanwhile mesh
Of difficulties was weaving in the path
way Of the fugitive. Forrest S cavalry no
longer rode at will through Alabama,
for Wilson's troopers had swept the
country from the Tennessee to the gull,
dispensing or capturing all of Forests
men. Learning of the events in Virginia
and the Carolinas and the disappearance
OF the Confederate leaders from Rich
mond, Wilson distributed his brigades
across the states of Georgia and Florida
to intercept any columns moving toward
the gulf. On the 9TH of May, Colonel
Pritchard's detachment of the Fourth
Michigan cavalry LETT Macon and fol-
lowed the southern bank of the Ockmul-
gee.
About that date Davis crossed the
river, and on the 9th Pritchard heard of
the party and it's train. Representing
himself as the leader Of party of Cor
federates in Union disguise marching Ito
the relief of the fleeing executive he Re-
ceived from the citizens along the route
full particulars about the train and its
personnel, guards and proposed route.
In this way, by marching all night he
rode up to the camp Of the fugitives lat
Irwinsville, surrounded it and made
prisoners of all the occupants before they
could leave their tents. The first warn
ing i'll many cases was Union cavalry
man with drawn saber, standing at the
tent openings and challenging any who

A battle had been expected by Colonel
Pritchard. The we'll armed and mounted

Light.

When the world was young, man was
only a child, with a child's thoughts.
Probably the first man, at the close of
the first day, was frightened when
darkness fell, aud wondered whether
the light would ever come again. And
since, he has, like a child, been con-
tinually learning something about
light. At one time he supposed the
eye was the sourse of the light, be-
cause he saw nothing unless his eyes
were open. The great philosopher,
Newton, propounded the corpuscular
theory, that light is an imponderable
substance, whose colors depend on the
velocity of transmission. Reflection
he compared to the rebounding of an
elastic body, while refraction was due
to interstices in transparent bodies,
which allowed the particles of light to
pass through. This idea was accepted
for many years, but has now been
practically displaced by Huygen's I'M
dulatory theory, that light is propa-
gated by the vibrations of the impond-
cradle ether. On this theory the trans
mission of light is like that of sound,
and corollary of it is that there are
lights of different colors, the variety of
hue not being caused by varying veloc-
tiles. Three pecularities of light are
its universal diffusion, it's rapidity of
motion, and its usefulness. The works
of man never equal those of Nature,
but in these three respects the Burling-
ton Route resembles light. An exam
ination of the map shows its diffusion
over the West; the use of it's tickets
will convince of the speed of its trains;
an acquaintance with the hundreds of
prosperous towns and cities on it's lines
demonstrate it's usefulness. Apply to
your home agent for tickets and in
