volunteers. He was handsome boy,
a healthy, hearty boy, and, as boys go,

The answer came back through the

cessionists, who assuming that l had
been successfully bribed, relaxed theil
watchfulness, thus enabling me more
readily to reach the coast. intrusted
the letter to Maj. Berante for delivery,
who put it in his pocket to be kept for
future use against me, and entered the
confederate service. If you will in
trust me for few minutes with its
keeping will show you my real re-
ply, my vindication, written with the
juice of lemon on the very document
Maj. Berante has been preserving for
my destruction"
Taking the discriminating letter from
the commanding judge, Gen. Heath
stepped to the fireplace. A thrill shot
through those present, thinking that
he was about to burn it. But no; he
held it before the flame, carefully keep
ing it far enough to prevent its ignit-
ing. Not word was spoken, all eyes
being fixed intently on the paper
curling in the heat. Presently the gen
eral drew it from before the flame,
glanced at it, then raised it aloft so that
it could be seen by everyone in the
room. Across its face brown letters
had come out clear and distinct:
"Yours received. Thanks. We march to-
night HEATH"
Slowly the general in chief rose from
his chair, and, advancing to the vindi-
Gated man, grasped his hand; Margaret
laughed and wept by turns, while the
rest of us threw up our hats and shout
ed. When quiet was restored Gen.
Heath concluded:
"You are aware, general, that during
the period of my service in the west ru-
mors have been current that l have
been secretly and treacherously aiding
the enemy. 1t is now plain whence this
secret malignant influence came. Be-
rante was made prisoner at Shiloh and
had the ear of union officers. Having
been exchanged before Chickamauga
he was present at that battle and had
on opportunity to converse with the
union officers captured there. / leave
you to infer whence came the reports
that the confederate successes were
largely due to friend in the union
army, that friend being myself. Atlast
am confronted with the author of my
misfortunes. I am unable to punish
him, for he has come into our lines
pledged to protection, but I thank the
Great Jehovah, the God of battles and
of peace, that from this time forward
he will be powerless to injure me-"
Notwithstanding wars horrors, it
has its pleasurable episodes. My most
delightful remembrance of that period
of strife and suffering is the few min
utes following the exit of Col. Archard
and Maj. Berante. There was sudden
wringing of hands, eyes looking into
eyes that danced triumphant, a babel of
congratulations AS for me, forgetting
myself completely, threw my arms
around everybody in the room except
the general-in-chief. I embraced, sue
cessively, the general, Margaret, PUNK,
and Georgia, whose enthusiasm, great

box on the ear, which she afterwards
admitted was not for the caress, but be-
cause of its publicity.
Our expressions of joy were inter-
rupted by the general-in-chief taking
Heath aside and speaking with him in
tone which, though too low to he heard
by the others, brought Il light into his
eye that had not seen there for
months. Then the commander of the
armies of the west offered Margaret es-
pecial thanks for the great service she
had rendered and hurried away. What
he was going to do did not know then,
but the next day the thunder of his
guns told me that he was taking advan-
tage of the absence of Longstreet's
corps from the army of the Tennessee,
fighting and.winning the battle of Mis-
sionary Ridge-a battle which marked
the beginning of the end of the confed-
eracy.
As love story this narrative must
necessarily be fragment. What had
passed between Gen. (then Capt.
Heath and Margaret Beach before he
met her between Chattanooga and Nor
gantown Cross Roads never learned,
for both were naturally reticent, and
especially so with regard to the most
sacred of all conditions. After the bat
tie that followed in the wake of the
information we had gained and the gen
erals vindication, was suddenly sum-
moned one morning to attend him. He
rode straight to the plantation, where
he found Margaret, and I am quite
sure that it was on this occasion that q
treaty of peace was formally drawn be-
tween the two and their future rela-
tions officially settled. AS to their
courtship, except that courtship which
was going on under my eyes while the
general held Margaret as prisoner, I
know nothing, but can vouch for the
fact of their wedding, for witnessed
it, and they were afterward loving
couple, for have often visited them.

count of what followed our few brief

A PREHISTORIC CITY.

NEW YORK, March pa dis
patch to the Herald from Jackson,
Miss, states:
"MajOr Lamar Fontaine, a prom
inent civil engineer of Lyons,
Miss, tells remarkable story of
the discovery in Arkansas of what
he declares was once the metropolis
of the prehistoric Mound Builders
and the largest city in the world.
He found these ruins, the major
says, while making a recent sur
vey.
" 'On direct line east and west
for thirty five miles, says Major
FOntaine, and as far as my eye
could reach, the ruins continued.
Turning north for distance of
twenty five miles the ruins did not
end. Computing the area survey
ed, and estimating that each dwell
ing contained five inhabitants, l
found that IL, 100000 people had
their bones in this great city.
90 This city is spread over three
counties, Desha, Drew and Ashley,
in Arkansas, and was the grand
metropolis of that prehistoric race
called the Mound Builders. These
people numbered countless millions,
and the YazOO Valley of the Mis-
sissippi was their field. The en-
tire delta of the YazoO was in a
high state of cultivation. Every
acre was utilized for agricultural
purposes. Thousands of canals
were dug and used by them for
irrigation and navigation, and
countless pottery factories show
that they manufactured superior
articles of earthenware for domestic
purposes.
'' Many acres are covered six
feet deep with the bones of these
unknown people. Their teeth, yet
sound and perfect, can be picked
up by the batful at this distant
day. They were a small race, and
their anatomy is precisely the same
as that of the Chinese in every
particular. They came to this
country from the overcrowded
regions of China. 1 have traced
their footsteps from the shores of
Kamtchatka and Siberia, across
the Aleutian Isles down to the
western shores of America, across
the continent to the valley of the
Mississippi and many Of it's tribu
taries to the northern confines of
Mexico. There they cease. No

Harrisburg, March 24.--Governor
Stone to day wrote the following let
ter t0 j. B. Hershey, of McKeesport,
who asked him for his views on the
proposed reduction of the public
school appropriation:
Il have been very much misauoted
IN the newspapers. / am not oppos-
ed to the appropriation to the public
schools and regard it a very wise and
judicious appropriation of the public
revenue, but the amount heretofore
appropriated is not in proportion TO
the amount Of revenue received. by
the State. We have appropriated
Eve and one-half millions aonually,
while our revenues arc only eleven
million dollars, and generally less
than that, SO that the appropriation
to the public schools is more than
one half cf the entire revenues re
ceived by the State. We have &C.

This is a deplorab!e condition,
and one for which there is no excuse.
