Lieutenant Kupp received a huge
box, full Of hams, sausages, preserves,
cheese and other good things from the
old farm, but neither the memory of
past hunger nor fear of the future pre-
vented his inviting the men who had
no boxes to help themselves OF all
the things in the big box the one that
most delighted kupp's soul was suit
Of butternut CLOTHES, evidently of home
manufacture, even To the cloth.
The lieutenant soon ''shueked" his
blue rags and dOnned the new suit
Thus attired he strobe up and down
the upper Potomac room," hunk Of
bread in one hand and chunk Of ham
in the other, while his laughing COM
panions demanded TO know when he
left "North Caliny."
"Hit don't mattah we'en / left," re-
spOnded Kupp, with an inimita6le
mountaineer drawl, ''the thing that's
bOtherin' ME now is we'en an how
Ize gwine ter git back"
As old soldiers will remember, the
uniforms Of the COnfederates were any
thing but clothing put aside at the be
ginning of the war was sent 10 the
front from home, though gray hat,
gray trousers, or gray coat had been
retained whenever possible. Hun
dreds of Cenfederates in ''butternuts''
passed the prison along Carey street
every dag, and many Of the guards
about Libby, and those who came in
every morning to count the prisoners,
were dressed in the same material.
This prison roll call at this time was
more expeditions than efficient Every

that bitterly cold winter, the Yankees

Or would you be more cruel yet,

The lieutenant had evidently made
up his mind to crafty his comrades
behind the bars Across Carey street
from the prison there was a vacant lot.
Kupp walked to the edge Of the lot. sat
down on log, and, taking out his
broken jackknife, began to whittle and
TO signal the men in his old room to
come out and join him.
The situation was intensely humorous,
bIt at the same time intensely painful
TO the men watching Kupp from the
prison, bat not dAr ing To raise their
voices in warning.
At length, % the great elief Of all,
the lieutsnant arOse, stretched himself,
and yawned- Rising his slOuehed
hat, he shouted: Goodbye. Yanks:
hope ter see yO agin." Then, with 4
long, slouehing stride, he passed out of
sight TO the east.

days after leaving Libby he fell in with
Butler's troopers from Fortress Monroe,
and at the time Of writing was about To
take passage for Gods land.

LIEUT.. KUPP WAS VERY COOL.
He Walked out Of Libby Prison With
out a Culver.

Lieutenant Kupp, of the Eighty
eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers, was
captured, with many of his regiment,
AZ Gettysburg. He was known s. u
Pennsylvania Dutchman, and he came
from Berks county, in that State,
where German cOlOnists settled nearly
two centuries ago and where their d q
seendants cling TO the old customs AMI
the mother tongue even unto this day
As il was summer at the time of Get
tysburg, the men captured in that bat
tie were in light attire, and the long
march down 10 Richmond and the
wear aud tear on their thin blOuses IT,
duced them to rags, and this PenDsyl-
vania lieutenant seemed 10 Be the most
ragged pfall.
Kupp was considerably over six feet
in height, lank, long limbed and in
cIined to be round shOuldered. He
was about n years old, and the gray
eyes, long, dark hair, and fuzz-cOvered
face gave him the appearance of a
North Carolina mOuntaineer. His
comrades jokingly called him ''the tar
heel, but ne took il good naturedly.
The resemblance was much in his
favor when he made up his mind to
leave Libby, and, 10 Use his own Ian
guage, make a bee line for Gods
land" as the prisoners called the
North.
The two subjects that engrossed the
minds Of the men were exchange and
escape. Nearly every day the report
spread that the exchange cartel had
been resumed, and that the men were
to be sent North under flag of truce
within twenty-fOur hours. On such
occasions groups Of excited men would
rush through the six divisions of the
dark, dreary old warehouse, shouting
frantically:
Pack up, Pack up, All exchanged,
Hurrah for Gods land-'
Constant disappointment failed to
lessen these rumOrs, nor did il weaken
the hopes of the men who hesrd them.
Perhaps KuPp was an exception, for
he never got excited, was never stirred
from his stolid bearing by the cry of
''Pack upri II have nothing To pack"
be would say With a grim smile, and
without raising his eyes from the bit
of yellow bone he was trying TO carve
into cruciix with a broken jack
knife.
Plans for escape were daring and in
Vulnerable. NeLrly all were impraeti-
cal, Yet, unknown TO their comrades,
twenty-five men, pledged to secrecy,
were at this time digging in the dark
ness the great tunnel through which
subsequently 10 men escaped
when I get good and ready I'm
going to light out"
This Kupp would say to the men un-
folding their schemes about him, but
as he refused to tell how he proposed
getting away he was laughed at and
left TO his bone carving.
Just before Christmas the COnfeder-
ate authorities, who had refused to re-
ceive supplies for the prisoners from
the United States Government, permit
ted friends in the North TO send down
a little food and clothing under \ flag
of truce. Uniforms were eontraband,
% that all the clothes that came
through were OF the citizen style and
material.

Once beyond the guard man Of ordi-
nary nerve would have started of with
all speed, nor halted until Libby Was
far behind and even the steeples Of
Richmond out Of sight; but Kupp was
not an ordinary man. Standing before
the entrance to the prison, the lieuten-
ant shouted in to Turner:
Say, mistah hev ye any objections
TO q feller's standin' aerOst the street
an kinder peekin' up at the buiIdin'?''
or course, Turner made no response,
but the guard continued down his post
aud laughed, as if he thought the tall
man in butternuts very funny fell
low.
Meantime the news of Kupp's escape
had spread among his late associates.
The excitement was all the greater
rom the fact that it had to be suppress
ed. Instead Of glass there were iron
bars in the front windows. Prisoners
were not permitted 20 come within
two feet Of these bars or course, all
knew the order, and that Captain For

been killed few days before for un-
Intentionally violating il. yet the men

Lawson indicated a great barge toward
which he instructed the girl to steer.
Presently Sue found herself shivering
over the galley fire on board, while her
father helped to make the boat fast.
''Sue, my girl, said he, pointing to
the barge cabin, 'step aft and go be-
low. There. There amt nothin to be
afeered on, nothin at all"
Still shivering. for Andrew Mawle's
face was haunting her minds eye, she
hesitatingly obeyed. The cabin was
lighted by an oil lamp, and when she
reached the last step ON the ladder she
looked about. 4 man was lying in the
berth on the larboard side She went
noiselessly forward and peered down
into the face.
"Martin, Can it bee''
He lay with closed eyes and a face so
worn and pale that she almost doubt
ed if he lived. Cartwright, however,
soon recovered, and one day, while
still aboard the barge, he related how
the bargee, dropping down stream in
his boat, had heard his groans and had
fastened to his rescue. He had re-
ceived a serious stab from Andrew
Mawle which had almost deprived
him of his life.
"Did you discover the box?' Sue
asked.
"No, nothing" said Cartwright,
nothing except Mawle's cap. | must
have knocked it off his head during
our struggle on those iron girders.
There it is.u
He pointed while speaking to pilot
cap which hung from a peg against
the cabin wall. She took it down and
turned il over in her hand.
ais that all?"
But suddenly she started and stared
at the cap with wide open eyes
"Martin, there's something in the
crown. 1t feels like-shall look?''
Scarcely waiting for his reply, she
broke the thread that bound the inner
lining, and next moment she drew
forth fiat, circular packet. Upon
opening this packet number Of bank
notes tumbled out.
Heres luckr' exclaimed the girl.
''You will get the reward yet"
The pilot cap was found upon closer
to contain the bulk of the
stolen property, and Cartwright was
recompensed beyond the widest
dreams. Some months afterward,
when Sue had become his wife, he was
engaged as head porter at Sherwood's
bank. As for the missing Andrew
Mawle, nothing more was heard of
him, and everything pointed to the
surmise that he had gone silently out
with the tide.-LiverpoOl Mercury.

had received the clothing from home,
it was noticed that Kupp, who was

hung to the rear, and on this occasion
was the very last
When Kupp came into the upper
Chiekamauga room, the guard was
forming to go. Selling the hand Of
Captain Mas, Of his own regiment,

whispered:

the officer in charge. When the guard
had passed the sentinel at the door

WHAT 1T WAS FOR.
He Had Never Been in a Cathedral
\ Before.

The Alderman had just returned from
trip to Ireland, says the Kansas City
Star. He had not been there since the
day he left, raw and red and ragged.
He had left his old father and mother
and his brother in the little shanty
within the shadow of the Cathedral
that cost more than the whole town
The father and mother had died, but
the brother was still there
The Alderman had not always been
an Alderman. He had risen by sue
cessive stages from laborer up to con-
tractor, and eventually to politician and
Alderman.
He met the ward boys in the corner
saloon the evening of his return, and,
between the rounds of beer, told of his
adventures.
Il was not aisy over there. 1t had all
changed, tn ould father an mither
were gone, God bless 'em, an me
brother didn't know any more about
this country than he did about Af-
ghanistan. He tried to entertain me,
but I was lonesome. I taught 'em how
to play poker down to the village tav-
ern, but they was as poor as dirt, an
tn game wasn't worth the time.
TT come Sunday an me brother says,
Paddy, We'll go to mass No says 1.
Wen go to the tavern. Very well,
says he, well go to the Cathedral first,
an the tavern afterward.'
AN so it was. I'd niver bin in a
Cathedral the loike ave that before.
There was incense an music, an l says
to me brother from the bottom of me
heart, says /:
"'Moike, that beats helll'
