course of the conversation expressed his
willingness to do what he could in aiding
the force, and remarked that he should
be passing back and forth between Wash
ingtOn and Richmond, and could doubtless
be of service.
Mr. Wallace thanked him heartily, and
gave him small plain badge, of peculiar
shape, that would at any time, if shown,
admit him TO the headquarters, and then
taking him about the room he introduced
him to the gentlemen present, and after
n short conversation with his new friends
he. in company with Leroy, took his de-
parture, and together they went down to
dinner.
That evening, as he was sitting in the
bar-rOom of the hotel, one of the men he
had met upstairs in the forenoon came
to him and told him that in a day or two
he was to start for Yorktown with import
ant dispatches for Gen. Magruder. but
that, owing to sickness in his family, he
did not want to leave home unless it were
impossible for him to get some one he
could trust to undertake the task for him.
He then asked Curtis if >he would OBJ
ject to making the trip for him. The de-
tective thought a moment, and told him
he would give him an answer in the morn
ing. The two men then INDUCED in a
friendly glass, after which they separated
The man had no sooner gone than Curtis
made up his mind to take the dispatches,
not to Gen. Magruder, but TO me at Wash
ingtOn.
Accordingly. the next morning he in
formed his friend he would undertake the
task for him, as he intended returning to
Baltimore at any rate.
The next morning found him, with the
dispatches carefully secreted about his
person, at the depot. ready to take the
first train for Petersburg.
Here he arrived about noon, and pro-
ceeded to call on Gen. Hill. After pro-
curing his dinner at the hotel he ordered
his horse and started on his long ride for
the Union camp, where he delivered his
dispatches to Mr.. Bangs, the Superintend-
ent of my headquarters in the field, and
forwarded copies of the same to me at
Washington, together with full account
of his trip and information he had gained,
not forgetting full statement of his dis
covery of the "Subterranean Headquar-
ters," and his enlistment as a member of
its force of spies and agents. employed in
transmitting intelligence of the move
ments and plans of the Union troops.

Asthma Can Be Cured.
Statement OF a Noted Physician.

The astonishing statement that asthma
can be cured, coming from so well-known
an authority as DIR. Rudolph Schiffmann,
will be of interest to sufferers from asth-
ma, phthisic and hay fever The Doc
tors offer, coming as it does from n rec
ognized authority, who during a practice
of over 30 years has treated and cured
more cases of asthma and its kindred than
any living doctor, is certainly generous
one and an innovation in this age of
countless fraudulent nOstrums. Believing
that the honest way to sell a remedy is
to let those who would buy convince them
selves of its merits before purchasing,
DR.. Schiffmann has authorized this paper
to say that he will send a free trial pacA
age of his remedy, "Schiffmann's Asthma
Cure" to any sufferer who sends his name
on postal card before March 10th. This
remedy has cured thousands of cases that
were considered incurable. Being used
by inhalation it reaches the seat of the
disease direct, stops the spasm instantly
and insures sweet and refreshing sleep. A
free trial package will convince the most
skeptical. Those desiring to try a free
sample should address Dr. r. Schiffmann.

tional bitterness entered into the social
life of Washington. and the inmates Of
the White House did not escape. Harriet
Lane had retired from the White House,
leaving behind her the most pleasant mem
cries and a record untarnished. 1t was no
easy task to supply the place of one SO
popular. Her lines had fallen in pleasant
places in most propitious times. Mrs.
Lincoln came from an opposite end
of the country. Exaggerated stories
had preceded her, false and twisted state

press; it was a sheer case of prc-iudg-

took Her birth and youth were so
identified with the South that rumors were
rife in the North that she could not be
loyal to her husbands cause, and she went
through the years under that ban; and as
the wife of President Lincoln she had 10
friends in the South. SO Between the up
per and neither milestone, is it any wonder
that even reason was dethroned? We

that Mcclellan had laid siege to York

Chinese Protocol Signed.

The only new feature of the Chinese
situation developed during the past 10
days was the signing of the terms sub
mitted by the Powers rs the basis of
agreement for peace negotiations, by
Prince Ching and Lii Hung Chang. The
agreement, however, yet awaits the at
taching of the Emperor's seal, and Prince
Ching has advised the Ministers that the
seal is in the forbidden city in the EN-
peror's private apartments.
The official attention here will now turn
to the expediting of the terms of the peace
agreement. Notwithstanding the import
ant step made, it is feared that the IA
pacity of some of the Powers and the cum
ming Of the Chinese in attempting to elude
some of the terms will prevent an early
settlement of this much-vexed question.

peared to be trustworthy employees
would accept situations, but as soon as
things began to settle down on a salts
fac Org basis for one reason or another,
and at short notice, they would desert
their posts. Numbers OF idle people,
black and white, leave the country
where nature placed them, every year
and swsrm to cities. In the latter
places many Of them refuse to work
and throw themselves on the charliably'
