THREW HER IN.

upon the forbearance of the brave men
whom she had annoyed past endurance.
She had been absent for about ten days.
and the officers and men were beginning
to hope that they had seen the last of her,
when the report came that she had en-
gagged board with a respectable family
some distance down the river. She was
dressed better than ever, was well sup
piled with money, and claimed to- be the
wife of one of the most popular gen
erals in the army. The people where
she boarded did not know her, and ac-
cepted her statement that she desired to
be near her husband for few weeks.
On the second night of her stay the
supposed wife of the general came home
roaring drunk in the company of two
rough-looking soldiers, who were driven
off with great difficulty by the family.
Mrs General then got mad and turned
her tongue loose. She Mortified the in
mates of the cottage by dancing the
can-can, and wound up with the an
nouncement that she was Confederate
Sal.
When the news of these high-jinlfs
reached camp there was unbounded in
dignation. 1t was agreed that Sal had
insulted the whole army by masquerad-
ing as the wife of their favorite general,
and few determined men got together
and held n quiet consultation. That
night about a dozen soldiers slipped out
of the camp-and went down the river TO
the log cabin in which Sal had sought
shelter after being elected from the cot
tage.
AS the visitors expected, they found
the woman sleeping off the effects of
her heavy potations. They awakened
her rudely and tcld her the object Of
their mission.

It was hard fight. The captive
fought like tigress, but the men tied
her hands and feet, and then fastened
n heavy stone to her neck. They bore
her screaming and Kicking to the river,
and threw her in as they would have
done mad dog.
There was one splash and then all
was silence. The soldiers looked at

an issue of bonds to the amount of
SIS, 900, ,000 The trust is to be carried
