ATIONAL TRIBUNE SUPPLEA
| The post was now in danger of a surprise
and capture in our absence. and in magma
tion we could see the gloomy walls of An
dersonviile. But no; death on the field was
far preferable. The hope of escape was slim.
as the road was rough and ROCKY, aud the
fall of their horses as they dashed over the
reads was little less danger than the whizz-
ing bullets of scores, or perhaps hundreds, Of
shots fired at them as we dashed by 4 hidden
and unknown force of the enemy.
| 1t was desperate dash, and what unseen
| hand but that of protecting providence
could have turned aside those many hot ana
whizzing balls so that neither horses nor
riders were touched? No visible injury ey-
cept that our hearts seemed nearer our
mouths than they ought to be, and oar COM
rades declared our faces were as white as
their mothers dishcloths; and TO this day
we two Lieutenants cannot tell whether that
compliment was designed for ourselves or for
their mothers dishclo rs. Nor had we
time just then to ask an expauai ion, as tie

FIGHTING FORREST,
Capron's Brigade and How il

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: On Nov
2e, 1864, Schofield's army was driven bac,
from Columbia. The cavalry under Gen Will
son was assigned the duty of preventing For
rests cavalry, 5000 strong, from crossing
Duck River and falling in Scloield's rear.
The cavalry had about u miles of the river
to guard, and was posted from two miles
above Columbia to ii miles above
The post of Capron's Cavalry Brigade, TO
which the 18th III. belonged, was on and near
the Lewisburg pike, IA miles above Column
bra. Forrest with his cavalry was working
his way up The river To effect a passage at
some of the many possible crossings which
existed all along the river not only up to
the lewisburg pike, Caprons position, and
the extreme left of $. hlfield's army, but
many crossings above that position.

Rumors of small parties of the enemy's

had, or expects TO have, a son, or a. brother,
or father, or husband III the army, and
who hold its honor, which they consider
one with that of the nation, higher than any
material good. This is powerful force
from the fact that the Spanish peasant is
almost independent of material prosperity,
which consequently counts for little with
him. Frugal in his habits, with few mate
rial wants to supply, he is able to live upon
almost nothing; and the customs of the
country prevent him from feeling any degra
dalton in his poverty. AS man, he is the
eq ual of the highest, and no grandee of
Spain would venture, even if he felt so in
clined, to treat with contumely the lowest of
his eountrymen. Even the beggar in the
street receives from the man who perhaps
refuses him an aims the courtesy which Is
given and demanded by every Spaniard.
Then, there are other forces on this side
of the question to be taken into account
The Carlists while not strong enough to
overthrow the government, could yet create
considerable disturbance in the provinces
in which Don Carlos has % following, and
in the event of a peace dishonora5le for
Spain being concluded, there is little doubt
that they would do so.
Besides these, there are the republicans
without counting among them, however the
former President of the republic, Senior ri V
Margall, who came out boldly not long since
in defence of the government, accusing the
press of being mainly instrumental in Great
ing the present situation. And there are
the revolutionists, without leaders or pro-
gramme. These make no secret of their
opinions, and declare openly that the time
is drawing near when Spain must be re2en-
Grated by revolution like that which took
| placs at the end of the last century in
France. These will blame the government
equally whichever course it adopts, and are
by.no means the least difficult factor of the
problem.

From UP BATH WAY.
A Yankee Tar Who Has Made a Fortune
in Japan.

New England Yankee ''from up Bath
way" named Babcock, who had done lot
of merchant sailorizing up to the rate OF
second mate, shipped an A. B. in the
United States navy at the Por tsmouth navy
yard in 1885. Babcock was a rafting good
sailor, man without education, but with
whole lot of native shrewdness He was
liked well enough by his shipmates. who,
however, voted him the stingiest man-o'-
wars man that ever knotted a halyard.
Babcock didn't spend a cent aside from his
mess and tobacco money during his entire
three-years' cruise, and, as he was made a
petty officer soon after his enlistment, he
had snug pile of savings when he went
over the gangway of his ship at Yokohama,
Japan, "clear of the navy
Babcock looked around him for while in
Yokohama, and then he corrailed about a
dozen skilful japanese feather workers,
employed them at very small pay, and set
them to work making three by-four- foot
representations in colored feathers of
George ashington, the father of his coun-
try. 1t cost Babcock about 10 yen to have
these really artistic portraits in feathers
made, and he sold all of them that he could
make to the United States
man-o'-war's men for from so to rs yen
apiece. When the sale of the George Wash
ingtons in feathers grew slack Babcock set
his Japs to work making American flags of
delicately worked feathers. He got from 25
to 80 yen each for these, all that he could
turn out of them for almost every American
naval sailor on the China station bought one
of them to send or bring bac to his people
III this country. By this time the shrewd
Babcock, who didn't drink saki or any
other kind of confusing liquid had plant.
He set large force of skillfuI Japs to work
making all sorts of Japanese curiOS, and he
started an emporium in Yokohama. He
widened this out into a wholesale establish
ment, and began shipping Japanese curios
to England, America, and the other big
markets for Japanese products of art. Bah
cock hasn't made any effort to have the
tateooed compasses and stars removed from
his big, horny hands, even if he is now one
of the very wealthy Americans living in
Japan He makes frequent tours of his
branch wholesale japanese curio en-
poriums at Kobe, Nagasaki, and Hakodate.
and he enjoys life prodigiously In quiet
sort of way. He is one of the very best
friends the American sailors have On the
China station. Whenever one of tn en- goes
broke ashore in Yokohama, all he has to do
IS to make for Babcock's emporium, and if
Ba5cock is there, the tar always comes
away with enough yen under his mastering
shirt t. see him through the rest of his
liberty. Chicago Inter Ocean,

He got out his revolver, and none too soon,
for without warning the pug sprang into the
air and began whirling around, uttering
short, choking snarls and swapping at me
air furiously. That settled 1t, and TWO shots
from the revolver ended tho dogs sullef-
ings, while the bystanders fed in all direc-
lions.
After the pug was dead Nero's owner tried
TO persuade the bulldog to approach the
body, but met with such determined resist
ance that he gave it up. The crowd went
away, debating the mystery of that unani-
nous and instantaneous canine diagnosis to
which they bad been witnesses, which per-
haps had saved some of them from terrible

A dosnach from Otis. ale saYs:

4 deepach from Otis, Me, says:
It is believed that Il murder has been COM
mitted IN this vicinity, and a detective is
working upon a clew which, it is thought,
will result i'll the discovery of the guilty
parties.
July 3, two strange acting young men ap-
pcarcd at :. houso near Floods pond and
asked for dinner and IL place to pass the
night. They stated that there were two others
coming on bicycIcs to join them in the morn
ing. That day they went into the woods,
and remained until late at night. The next
day the others joined them. They seemed
little hilarious, but were not talkative III
the presence of the people at the house
They had II dispute before breakfast, but
they did not continue it. They left the house
early and started up the pond in boat.
While in the boat, they began to talk loudly,
as though quarrelling. A young man en-
pIoyed by Richard Salisbury says that he
heard one say ''You'd ought to have been
satisfied with one,'' to which another added
''Well, what you going to do, expose your
SELF to a chance in the chokey?" Then there
were some words that sounded like
sSoueaIer,' "No you DON'T Look out,
tLere!''
After the men had reached the shore, a
pistol shot was heard. A few hours later, q
man, not one of the original quartet
knocked at the house of Mrs. Daniel Remick,
and excitedly begged cotton cloth to
bandsge a wounded comrade. To Mrs.
RemiclI's inquiries, lie answered that his
friend had fallen upon a knife, and had cut
his throat. He told her that they would try
and bring the wounded man to her house.
and have a doctor summoned. Mrs. Remicli
gave the man linen sheet, and he hurried
away. She saw no more of him.
The boys story is that he took boat and
rowed to the spot where he saw the men &C
ashore. He found three men kneeling
about fourth, whose throat was badly
gashed. The wounded man seemed to be
unconscious.
E. W. Stevens of Bangor was fishing with
his son in Beach Hill pond, about mile
from Floods pond, where the tragedy is be-
leved to have occurred. He came ashore
late in the afternoon, and was told of a man
being dangerously wounded by falling upon
knife. MIR. Stevens heard no more about
it, but July he went to Eddington pond tc
try the fishing there.
After dark he was walking near the
county road, when an express wagon came
slo WHY along toward Bangor. There were
three men Oh tn seat and the body of Q
man was laid in the bottom of the wagon
On inquiry, he was told that the man i'll the
bottom of the wagon had slippd and hurt
himself that day, and that they were hurry
ing to get him to a doctor. They were
directed to Dr.. Bunkers house, few rods
beyond, but they did not stop. Mr.. Stevens
believed that the man in the bottom of the
wagon was dead.
Several COWS have been stolen from
pastures in this vicinity, and it is believed
the victim as one of the cow thieves, who
had a row among themselves over the
division of their booty.
