since the arrest was made for the man
to get rid of anything he had concealed
about him, and there were found in his
possession, besides the pair of revolvers
and knife at his belt, q back mask and
a gold watch and pocket-book with
money, which afterward led to his
conviction for the crime of attempted
train-wrecking and for the robbery of

Last Bugle Charge.

The bugler who blew the last
charge" of the civil war lives in
MarysviIle. When the war broke out
Nathaniel Sisson enlisted in the Second
West Virginia Cavalry. He rode under
the flag of that gallant regiment
through many perilous struggle, and
the year 1865 found him, under Clusters
command, in that part of the field
where hostilities were formally ended,
SAYS a correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat.
I'VE had been pursuing Lees retreat
ing army all day on the Sth of April,
1865" said Mr.. Sisson. 'On that day
we had captured train of cars bearing
supplies for Lee and sent out FROM
Richmond. We also made quick work
Of belated wagon train, and, tired
after so vigorous day of foraging,
went into camp. After lying Oh our
arms all night we were called early,
and before daylight were in the saddle
ready for the events of the most gIo-
rious day of the war. The trouble be
gan at an early hour. We advanced
and met the enemy's skirmish line,
brushing them before us easily. In a
short time we were advancing, appar-
emily, on Lees wagon train, bat in
stead we soon found ourselves headed
through Lees army. Then the last
bugle comand of hostile nature was
blown, and we were charging at them.
AS we rushed on, two Of Gen. GOrdOn's
aids rode out. They carried flag of
truce. That practically ended the
war"
This historic flag of truce, mentioned
by Mr.. Sisson, was the dirty towel so
humorously referred to by Gen. Cor
don In his lectures on 1.-THE Last Days
of the Confederacy." The towel,
though soiled as badly as the drying
apparatus in country printing Office,
was so much cleaner than any of the
APPAREL worn by the march-stained men
that it seemed white in comparison
The display of so dirty rag was the
signal of triumph for the North, and
a silent declaration that the country
was reunited.

A Story of Gen. Logan.

The following story is told of the
late Gen. Logan: "One night farmer
rode into Mr.. Logan's yard and raped
with whip handle upon his bedroom
window. The lawyer raised the win
dow and asked what was wanted.
"'Here's SO and come along whis-
pered the farmer.
but what's the matterY persisted
the lawyer.
Never mind, but come along. I'm
in something of hurry insisted the
farmer.
"They rode out of Murphysboro side
by side and when they got into the
open country the farmer said:
1.-The truth is, squire, that my
brother Jim's been arrested for stealing
a hog, and he wants you to defend
him.
Ibid he steal itT
"I don't know. You'll see him in an
hour or two and he'll tell you all
about it.
"'When Mr.. Logan arrived upon the
scene of the offense and arrest he
found strong web Of evidence woven
about his client. 1t was proven that
the hog then lying in Jim Johnson's
cabin was the one which Farmer Smith
had lost. There was blood marked
trail upon the snow in the path leading
from the Smith to the Johnson cabin,
and man swore to having seen John
son dragging the hog to his cabin.
There didn't seem to be much hope
for the client, and the coming general
told him so.
"T know it, said Jim Johnson, but
you don't know the people in these
parts as do. They are all Methodists
aad all Democrats. Now, in your
speech touch lightly on the hog, but
bear down on Methodism and Democ-
racy.'
"Mr. Logan obeyed. He talked melt
ingly about the phenomenal intelli.
gence Of the jury and the devotion of
himself and his parents an dtheir par
ents before them to old-fashioned
Methodism. He brought tears to their
eyes by his touching illusions to their
staunch Democracy. He purposely
omitted the hog. To his astonishment,
the jury acquitted his client in five
minutes.
"He happened to visit Johnson's
neighborhood the next spring. He
called on Jim and found him turning
up stubble.
"'Tell me, Jim, how that jury ever
happened to acquit you, said Mr..
Logan.
''The farmer thrust his quid of to-
bacco into the other cheek and said: 4
don't mind tellin' you, now that it's all
over, that every burned man had
piece Of the hog"

The Present Generation

BY the way, the only persons | saw
who were much inclined to fight the
war over again were some young folks
who were born since the disturbance
occurred, and this reminds me of a
story heard while in Louisville on the
way South. The incident to which it
relates occurred there. A Kentuckian
who had been thirty years away from
the State, but who was of illustrious
Kentucky and Virginia ancestors, was
in the company Of party of young
men while making brief stay in 1.-The
falls city" en- route to visit relatives in
the blue grass region. One Of the
young men noticed that the visitor wore
the badge of the Loyal Legion, the Of
ficers' association of union soldiers of
the civil war. This young man had
been slightly acquainted with the ell
derly visitor several years, and re-
marked that he was disappointed to
learn that the former Kentuckian had
been in the federal army.
