Lived on What They Took.

There is one thing which is not gen.
orally known to the public-that is,
Mosby and his men never received one
cent from the Confederate government.
Each man provided himself with his
own uniform, horse and arms. and
boarded himself. The United States
government furnished us with captured
horses, arms and ammunition, and the
extra horses captured paid our board.
So, instead Of receiving pay from the
Confederate government, we turned
over to them horses, mules and arms. I
will mention one incident to show what
an honorable and conscientious man
Colonel Mosby was. On the greenback
raid, when we captured $168, 900, be-
fore division was made of the money
100000 was offered Colonel Mosby,
which he declined to receive. Nor did
he ever take anything for his own use
that had beeA captured. -Thomas Moss

General Harrison Says 1t Makes the Posi-
ton of President One of Many Trials.
At the beginning of every administra-
ton Washington fills up with persons
who desire some office either in the
states, in the departments or in the for
eign service, writes ex-President Harri-
son in The Ladies' Home Journal, dis
cussing "The Presidential Office - Many
Of these persons have a limited purse,
and as the days pass on this is exhaust
ed, and impatience and i'll temper come
in. Many of these persons are deserving
and we'll fitted to fill the Offices they de-
sire. But it is impossible to find places
for all the deserving, and the position Of
the president is full of trial. The sus-
pense and uncertainty that the Office
seeker suffers are illustrated by the case
OF man from my own state who
thought he had good reason to expect an
appointment from President Garfield
After he had been weeks at Washington,
and had brought to bear all the influence
he could command, met him one day
on the street and asked him how he was
getting along. His answer was, every
we'll, very we'll, but there is nothing
focal yet. It was wonderfully express
i've and has remained in my memory
as type of the state of uncertainty
which accompanies Office seeking.
"Nothing focal yet," but hope that is
hard to kill.
There are few Offices at Washington
the salaries Of which enable the incum-
bent to save any money, and the average
experience Of those holding places in the
departments, I am sure, is, if they would
express it, that private business offers
better returns and gives better chance
for advancement.
