A Romance Of the War.

"The day before Gen. Lee surren-
dered," said a Confederate officer the
other day, 81 crossed Sailors Greek,
small stream in Prince Edward
County, Virginia, which follows the
track of the Richmond & Danville
Railroad and empties into the Apo
matto1 River.
"There was only handful of my
company left, and as 1 reached the
summit Of the hill which skirts its
eastern bank / turned to see if the
Federals-who had been hotly pursu-
ing us-were in view. AS I did so I
observed man wearing the uniform
Of a Confederate officer ride slowly
along the precipitous side Of the stream
opposite us, and evidently searching
for crossing.
'At this moment along steel-tipped
blue line of Federal infantry crowned
the hill above, in full view and within
easy range Of the horseman. Appa-
rently abandoning all hope Of escape,
the latter turned and rode directly to-
wards the enemy's line. AS we
watched him. breathless with anxiety
lest the signal of surrender should be
too long delayed, he suddenly wheeled
about, put spurs to his horse, and
dashing down the declivity, cleared
the stream with bound.
'Not shot was fired at the bold
rider. AS he reached the opposite
bank spontaneous shout went up
from the whole line-a generous trib-
ute from the brave to the brave. A
moment afterward the Confederate
was in the midst Of us, and we recog-
nized in him Gen. James A. Walker,
the commander of the old Stonewall
brigade.

Swallowed a Hole.

The other day Jimmie, 1 years old,
found one Of those bone-rimmed cir
cles which, l believe, ladies call eye
let's, and, while playing in the garden,
swallowed it. The family were in the
house busily engaged with work on
entomology, when Jimmie ran in,
with mouth wide open, and eyes dis
tended to their utmost capacity. His
mother caught him by the arm, and
trembling with that deep anxiety
which only mother can feel, inquir-
ed:
sWhat is the matter? What has
happened?"
Water" gasped little Jimmie,
nearly scared to death.
1t was brought him, when, after
drinking copiously, he exclaimed:
"Oh, mother, l swallowed hole =
"Swallowed hole, Jimmie?'

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The House
to-day passed the Senate bill to re-
move the political disabilities imposed
by the third section Of the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution. Con-
gresham Lacey, Of Iowa, in advo-
eating the bill, eloquently referred to
the magnificent spectacle presented to
the country by the Ex-Confederate
General, Wheeler, who is on leave Of
absence from the House, in the army
of reunited country, man whose
political disabilities were removed by
special Act Of Congress. He said
that the political disabilities of all
Ex-Confederates should now be re-
moved.
Congressman Bailey, Of Texas, the
Democratic leader, declared that Gen.
Wheeler has n, leave OF absence, and
ought not to be granted leave Of
absence to serve in the army. He
asserted that holding commission in
the army and seat in the House at
the same time cannot be regarded as
constitutional.
Congressman Mcmillan, of Tennes-
see, interrupted him with the state
ment: "Gen. Wheeler is loved by
every member Of this House for
going to the front to serve his country.
| would not object to granting leave
of absence to any man in this House
who might want to 60 and place his
body before the FIRE of the enemy.
Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, then de-
livered magnificent non-partisan,
patriotic speech, which electrified the
House. In part. lie said: 81 know
that Gen. Wheeler went forth in the
spirit Of unsullied and unalloyed
patriotism. Gen. Wheeler came into
the ways and means committee room
the day before he left and said he
only wanted to get few papers. He
said he had never franked single
document since his appointment and
you know there could not be any
higher evidence of Wheeler's sacri-
fce."
Gen. Grosvenor spoke feellngly or
the spectacle of the united country
crying: "My country, my flag, North
and South" He said all the nations
of the world are looking at our grand
reunion. II shall vote to wipe off
this law from our statutes, and | am
grateful to Almighty God that I have
seen this day. So help me God / will
try to forget that there was any neces-
sity for such law. .'-Philadelphio

peaceful slumber by the creatures o

peaceful slumber by the creatures Of
my over vivid-imagination.
"Was I frightened, you ask? [
won't deny that was badly frighten-
ed, and that reminds me of a fellow in
my company who once gave appropri-
ate answer to a crowd of soldiers who
made all manner of fun of him because
he trembled like an aspen leaf as they
were going to battle.
"'Boys, said he, if you trembled
as I do, you d cut and run. I tell you,
this sense of fear on the eve Of what
is probably certain death is nothing
to be ashamed Of, nor anything to
wonder at Lincoln, one Of the great
est of all men, appreciated this fear.
I remember the case Of a young fellow,
whose name I might tell you. if I did
not think it wrong. Just before one
of the bloodiest engagements fought
during the late war he ran away He
was caught, court-martialed and con-
demned to be shot. His friends
sought President Lincoln's interfer-
ence, but before they had chance to
reach him, Stanton and Holt went to
him and told him that an example
must be made in the case Of the young
fellow, that he must be shot as a
warning to others.
ssLincoln was very serious and
shook his head doubtfully.
s'Stanton,' he said, "have you ever
been to WARP
"'No, said Stanton, Inever have.
"'Have you Holt 2 persisted Lin
coin.
"'I have not had that privilege,
Mr.. President, answered Holt.
"'Well, I have, was Lincoln's re-
joinder. L was in the Black Hawk
war, and 1 know what fear is. / will
not have man shot because he runs
away in the face of almost certain an
initiation. Youmay punish him some
other way, but I will not permit you
20 shoot him."

ly got out that the widder was guyin,
and then there was no goin to bed
before midnight. A quire of six was
finally got together and one Sunday it
was announced that they would do the
singin. Then the row grew into re-
bellion. Word was passed around and
so many folks turned out fur church
that the pews wouldn't hold EN-.
When it got along to the singing we
all had our eyes on Deacon Spooner.
He was there and he had his tunin-
fork all ready. Once in awhile he
would roll his eyes up to the ceiling
as if askin the Lord to forgive him
fur what he was about to do, but at
the same time he was calm and deter
mined.
After awhile the preacher gave
out the hymn: "We Shall Meet Be-
yond the River. At the same time
everybody outside the quire turned to
'I'm Going Home To-Morrow. AS
the quire started in the Deacon bang
ed his tunin-fork agin his pew and
opened his mouth, and two different
tunes was bein sung at once. Mebbe
you kin imagine what sort of high
jinks' performance that was. Every
singer in the quire screamed as loud
as he could, and everyone outside Of it
used all the breath he had. Children
left at home that day few under the
bed and went into fits when they
heard that noise, and over at South
Shore, four miles away, the preacher
stopped in his sermon as he got the
sound of the racket and said to his
congregation:
Brothers and sisters, it seems that
they are playing baseball over at
Squan Greek on this holy day. Not
only that, but the hull population has
probably turned out to mob and mur-
der the poor umpire.
When the quire and the congrega-
tion had finished its hymn, both sides
sat down. The preacher was awfully
upset, and the best he could do was to
preach sermon about Is minutes
long. There ought to hev bin more
singin, but there wasn't. He was
about to close up with the Doxology,
but he looked up and saw that the
Widder Scott had her jaw sot, and he
looked down and saw Deacon Spooner,
with his tunin.fork all ready, and so
he calmly said:
s'May the Lord bless Squan Greek
and make it good fshin' season;
and now amen, and we'll go home"
The quire went all to pieces after
that day, and there was nobody left to
oppose congregational singing; but the
town had bin upset and could git over
it in day. Even to this date, which
is over FIVE years, if one Of the quire-
folks asks one Of the congregational
singers fur ohaw Of terbacker, he
meets with prompt refusal and is told
TO go to grass on top Of that.-M.
