EXPECTS CONGRESS TO
ADJOURN IN JUNE
Opinion Of Representative Richardson
Of Tennessee.

In the opinion of Representative Rich
ardson of Tennessee the present session
Of Congress viii adjourn yhe latter part
of June. The record OF past Congresses.
AIr. Richardson said this morning shows
that Congress has always adjourned in
June except when a tariff bill was IN
der consideration, and then Of course
the session was prolonged. As there is
no tariff bill to be considered. he said,
and the appropriation bills are well Up.
there is nothing. he added, TO keep Con
gress here longer than the last week ii
June.
The belief is gaining ground among
the members that the Republicans in

the Nicaraguan Canal and the Cuban
reciprocity bills until next December,
and wind up the business OF the Senate
so as to bring about an adjournment by
the 25th of June.

enabling him to resume his duties as
military officer. He subsequently,
served to the close of the war. I
knew the officer we'll, for he roomed
in my neighborhood not far from the
Ebbitt house before he was seut over
to the insane asylum. A year before
tue war his health having become
broken while serving at an isolated
post, he came here TO visit brother
and took rooms in his brother house.
On his return from short
visit to his old home in the South it
was seen that his reason was un-
hinged. He was accordingly sent 20
the asylum. There he remained until
the evenlful 2lst Of July, 1861. That
afternoon while the attendants were
walking the patients in the ground
the sound Of the guns reached the
grounds and attracted universal no.
tice. TO the little group of which
this afflicted officer was u member the
nurse explained that the reports we're
caused by artillery practice, but the
officer insisted that he heard ia each
report call for his services which he
would give them before long. That
night he was not to be found and his
cap being picked up close to the wall,
1t was conjectured that he had scaled
the barrier. No one knew what course
he took, how he crossed the Potomac,
nor indeed did they learn any tidings
OF him for years. After the close of
the war it was asoertained that in
some manner he had eluded the pick
cts after crossing the Potomac and
mad passed into the Confederate lines.
Finding troops from his State and be-
ing scognized he was given commits
sion and finally reached coloneloy.
Some of the officials of the asylum
when told this recalled that the man
was not badly afflicted, but only need
ed excitement to bring his mental
faculties into full play.

After the close Of the war DR.. Cure
ton tried in vain to recover the lost
sword. He was unable to get into
communication with Mr.. Hager. The
reason is clear now, for MIR. dagger
moved to Little Rock, Ark, just after
the close Of the war, carrying the old
sword with him as well as one that be-
longed to DR.. Brice.
When the Dallas Reunion was held
Mr.. Hager concluded to attend. While
there he met Mr.. +. B. Mobley, Of
Fairfield, and asked him if he knew
DR.. Bricc and Capt. Cureton, of Fair
field, as he had two swords belonging
to these gentlemen which he would be
glad to restore to them. When Mr..
Moblcy returned he let the discovery
be known, and the nieces Of Mr.. Brice
who are at Winthrop College began to
communicate with Mr.. Iager, with
the result that the swords were re-

A Sword With a History.

Tuesday Of this week, DR.. j. D.
Curetou was made happy by the return
OF what was to him long lost friend
-an old sword that he wore during
the war. It has unique history, and
if it could, it would relate history
more vividly than we csa hope to por-
tray.
This interesting old relic has played
its active part in Two wars--she Mexi-
can and the Civil. 1t belonged to
Col. Dunavant, who carried it throug b
the Mexican war. 1t then came into
possession of W. B. Crate, of Wiuns.
boro, who then gave it to DR.. Cureton
when be became Lieutenant. Shortly
after this DR.. e. was promoted Cap
tain Of Co. G, Sixth S. G. Infantry.
During the terrible battle of Second
Manassas the scabbard was cut in
twain by she'll. DR.. Cureton stopped
to pick up the piece of shattered scab-
bard and fell little behind his Co.
The unionists were slowly retreatiDg
and one shrewd Yankee concluded to
secrcte himself in ditch and wait till
the Confederates passed, and then
kill the commanding. officer of the reg
iment. who was Col. 'Steadman. Just
IA he raised his gun to ire DR.. Cure
tou turned and almost severed his
head from the body with this same
sword.
The scabbard was pierced by min
mic ball in the battle of Seven Pines
and glanced by another, and the owner
still lives to tell the story.
Shortly after this DR.. Curetou was
taken seriously i'll with pneumonia,
and was furloughed at the home of
Joseph Hager in Maryland in charge
of j. Michael Brice, one of his Lieu
tenants. While thus critically i'll, the
Iausees came upon Or. Cureton and
seeing his critical condition, left him
unmolested. Before their approach,
however, Mrs. Hager raised one of the
planks in the floor and deposited un-
der the house the interesting relic Of
our story to prevent the Yankees from
falling into possession Of it.
When they came up thoy entered
the room in which DR.. Cureton lay,
and saw that it would be r,od place
for some Of their wounded number.
DR.. was unconscious of shat was going
on about him, and when he awoke he
found 4 or 5 wounded Yankees as room
mates.
