They Fought at Franklin.

Mr.. n. III. Langley, of this city, re-
latcs IL recent pleasant experience that
recalls one not quite SO pleasant. lie
has again taken charge Of Il man he
captured about thirty-four. years ago
ana is infiicting Oh him all the kindness
he is capable of. 1t came about in this
way:
About two weeks ago Mr.. Langley
was on Main Street, when IL man in tho.
blue uniform of the kind the Conft,lr-
rates used to shoot at with great unc-
ton, came along and stared Ilinp full in
the face, grabbed his hand and cN
pressed pleasure and surprise in terms
more earnest than elegant. Mr.. Lang
ley could not recall any ac1laintinc.
with the man in blue until reminded OF
Il warm occasion in 1864 around Frank
lin, Tennessee. He soon got his rccol-
lection to work and it all came back to
him, how he and number of comrades
OF Co. d, 10th S. G.. Regiment, dashed
through the Federal lines and got in
the trenches with the Federal soldiers,
capturing many of them. He remcm-
bercd carrying back to his command in
triumph Il slim Yankee boy. He
saw much of his captive later and
formed regard for him, but in the
rush of events he had forgotten him.
This captive, a Union soldier then, Il
Union soldier now recognized his cap
tor and called him friend. In the last
few weeks they have spent many hours
recalling the incidents of that other
and sure enough war.
Mr.. Langley's captive is named Nc
Grath, and he is with the Fourth Mis-
souri, regiment. He is too old to he
enlisted, but he stays with the boys
and does ii soldiers duty. lie was
lately under arrest for missing 81 roll
call while visiting his whilon enemy.
He is Il pensioner by reason OF service
in the war between the States.
A great many people are interested
i'll this little romance, and arc pleased
at this marked exhibition of human
