the former mounted his horse and
rode away. When Mr.. Ferguson
returned to the house, ! remarked
to him in the presence of his wife
that he was closeted with Mr..
Nj for some time and asked
him the result of their conference.
| found from his manner of reply
that he was evidently fettered and
conscience bound by promises
made in the secret chamber. From
my manner of leading him out by
questions, found that a contract
had been perfected and signed by
Mr.. Ferguson, Mrs. Harrison and
Mr.. NJ, by which the two first
had sold the latter a lot Of cotton
to be delivered on a future day
fixed in the written contract, and
had received IN part pay one
thousand dollars in gold, the bal
ance due upon Mr.. NJ return
and the turning over Of the cotton.
Mr.. Ferguson stated that Mr..
NJ told HIM that as there were
so many persons through all Sec
tons of the South without money
and that the effect ofthe war had so
demoralized the public mind,
that he had best not let anybody
see or know that he had any gold,
! that if he did he would be murder.
ed and robbed. He said that the
money paid him was all in ten
dollar gold pieces, and that each
piece was wrapped separate in a
thin piece of paper. He then
pulled out ofhis pocket, remarking
at The same time, Don't you
want to see something good for
sore eyes?" He tossed a Mexican
dollar over to his wife, saying
that Mr.. NJ gave him that for
his stay, care and horse feed. The
dollar missed its mark and fell
upon the floor with leaden dull
sound. After they had handled il
with evident pleasure, | examined
it and to their disappointment, in.

that while it had the stamp of the
Mexican government it was g

the ten dollar pieces. He brough'

or State and coanty bills; but it,

BITS OF HISTORY
Concluded from page !.

phis. when he was halted by
man who was clothed in the uni
form of a United States soldier
and claimed to be sentinel on
duty. For a time it seemed that
his guiding star had forsaken him,
and that he was doomed to disap-
pointment and failure, just as he
was at the point OF realizing the
desire of his heart and the fruits
of his labor. He was afraid to
develop his wealth because he
might be in the hands of a man
who was not what he represented
himself to be. He knew that
dead men told no tales; and that
this apparent soldier was perhaps
a man who put the seal of Hence
on his acts. He had but little
money about his person apart
from the bulk Of his treasure.
therefore he could not afford to
buy his Liberty without expo sing
more than he desired. This was
very unpleasant situation and
taxed to their utmost power his
thoughts and acts. But in this
dilemma he remem bered that he
had in his clothes concealed the
pass that had let him out of Men,
phis. Upon presenting it he was
permitted to pass on, and with it
as the key that opened his way he
re-entered Memphis, where he
again unloaded and deposited hi
gold.
1t was not long after this that
Gen. Lee surlen dered to Gen.
Grant at Appomattox in 1865,
that he was at his post in Mobile,
aud believing that the Confederate
government was near the point OF
dissolution, he did not think that
all the tobacco belonging to the
Conlederacy ought to be turned
over 10 the United States govern
ment. 80 he availed himself Of
the chances offered him by his sur.
roundines. When the end came
and the Confederate soldiers had
been disbanded and once more as
sumed their places as private citi-
zens, ne found himself one Of the
favored few and in position to
not only make money. but to assist
in relieving the wants Of others by
giving his gold in exchange fol
cotton and other things that he
could reconvert into money. This
closed our talk and revealed the
leading part that Mr.. NJ hao
acted during the ci;il war.
Mr.. Ferguson, the kinsman tc
whom referred in the preceding
part of this story, now reached
home. At the first opportunity
admonished him to be on ni'
guard and watchful in all hi'
,actions with Mr.. NJ; tina
any man capable OF performing the
4o.S that he had represented tc
me, which he had done during the
war. vas capable Of doing any
thingin the power of man. This was

yesterday transferred eight federal
convicts to that institution, and
among these was Mattox, whose con-

more Organs and Pianos than ever.

In passing through Upper Salt River Valley and Tonto Basin recently, your correspondent noted many things while of small importance in them selves, perhaps, may be of interest Co many of your readers. In the valley barley and alfalfa look very well and the first crop of alfalfa is about ready to cut.
 There was 8 good deal of complaint on account of tbe early closing Of tho public school, in District No. owing to lack of funds, and in order that the school might be kept open another month, Mesdames Vim. Gam and John Pemberton donated $40 and the board of the teacher. The male deni. gems of the valley are nearly all busy with the roundup.
 In Tonto Basin cattle have their noses buried almost a foot in grass. Stock has come down into the valley from the hllls, and you would be sur prised at the large number of cattle now on the bottom, and also what fine condition they are in. At times dur ing the past three years many of them could not stand on their feet; now they kick their heels in the air and are risky, and ready to go to the slaughter house,
