JOHNNY Knew.

The class was reoiting and little
Johnny Fellows was the laat one on
the line. The teuoher started with
the head and asked what was the
feminine of "hero."
Number one shook her head. It
passed to two. She missed it; so did
three. AS it came nearer and nearer
to Johnny he became very much ex-
cited, apparently knowing the an
swer and waving his hand frantioally.
"Well. Johnny" said the teacher
at last, Everybody has missed. Can
you tell me the feminine of hero2"
"Sherol" shouted Johnny, exult-
autly.

only Captain" by nourteRy) was very
attractive man. His fcoe zas mild
and handsome-his manners quiet and
unassuming. Acertain air Of modesty
end friendliness made him q favorite
and he was person Of nice literary
taste. His figure was we'll made and
vigorous, his eyes dark and peculiarly
soft and bright. In his demoanor he
was easy and unartifciei and had no
self-assertion whatever. A child
would have gone to him in q crowd as
a person to make friends with-who
would certainly not repulse him. He
never spoke Of himself or of any scene
in which he had been an actor, unless
you directly catechised him, and then
under sort Of protest. From a
very intimate acquaintance with him
l can say that he had no vanity what
ever, and was one Of the kindest men
in the world.
Il The above conveys just idea Of
the impression Farley made upon his
associates, the reader Of this sketch
will be hard to convince of the feet
that Farley was good deal Of des-
perado when it came to fighting. Yet
such was the fact. The quiet, friend
ly, student-like young man was a
"tough customer" in action, and
seemed to find his greatest pleasure in
desperate affairs, where there were
heavy odds against him coming out
alive. 1t was no doubt the excite.
ment Of such affairs that he craved.
Fighting becomes passion like gamb.
ling in some natures. After much re-
fection upon Farley's individuality,
and with full knowledge Of the man
as one can have of another seen night
and day, in camp, on the march and
in battle--I should say that his love
of hard fighting had this origin-the
excitement Apurred his quiet mood to
pleasurable excitement.
During my Intercourse with him in
the years 1862 and 1868, I talked
great deal with him, and drew from
him by direct questions accounts of
many of his adventures. These were
astounding enough, but it was impos-
sible to believe that he was over-col-
oring them. The desire to boast was
evidently quite foreign to his disposi-
ton. BE talked about himself with
apparent repugnanoe-or if not with
exact repugnance-wi no wish, OBJ
viously, of painting himself as hero
or claiming that he had done anything
extraordinary. When questioned, he
replied and spoke in an unassuming
and matter-of-fact manner. When he
had answered my questions he changed
the subjecc or stolled away to his tent
to 60 asleep.-Laurens Advertiser.

A Famous Soldier Of Laurena.

Below is printed sketch of Cspt.
Will Farley, the famous Confederate
scout, from the pen of tho late John
Esten Cooke, of Virginia, autho. of
Surrey of Eagles Nest" and other
popular books relating to the civil
war. The sketch appeared originally
in the Detroit Free Press and was re-
printed in the Charleston News and
Courier in 1879. It is now reprinted
from clipping of the latter found
among the papers of the late Mrs.
Jane Mairs:
Capt. Farley was the son of the late
Samuel Farley and Mrs. Phoebe Far
ley and brother Of the late Gen. H.
l.. Farley, Mrs. Mary Farley Todd,
afterwards Mrs. Kennedy, and Mr.. L.
p. Farley, and an uncle of Sam. r.
Todd. 1t will be recalled that he was
one of the heroes Of Surrey Of Ea-
gle's Nest" which contains pathetic
and thrilling account of his death in
battle. He is we'll remembered by
the older people of Laurene, and the
younger generation should know some
thing of this dashing, gallant and gen
tie Confederate officer.
By the way, "Surrey of Eagle 8
Nest and the other books by John
Esten Cooke should be in the Laurens
Public Library and every Laurens boy
and girl should read them.
The following is the sketch:
The stories of scout life and adven-
ture in the civil war, related by writ
ers of the North and South, are often
thought to be exaggerated. The gen.
eral impression seems to be that they
are too singular to be true. And yet
that is not valid method Of reason
ing. The singular was the rule in the
late war. Astonishing events were of
everyday occurrence. And men 8
characters were as strange as their
performances. You could not tell
from mans appearance what he was.
The whiskered giant, with his clatter-
ing sabre and terrific air of militaire
and desperate mingled often failed in
time of need. The unassuming youth,
with his beardless face and modest
air, would lead forlorn hope or die
by his guns.
One of the latter class, who had
passed through many such adventures
as are above referred to, was Capt.
Farley of Gen. Stuart's staff. knew
him we'll, and look upon him as one Of
the most anomalous human beings I
have ever met. In character he was b
mixture of the most remarkable con-
trasts. He was so quiet, amiable and
retiring that you might have suspect
ed he would have shrunk from scenes
of 0arnage or any interruption of the
amenities of life. In reality he had
in him little or great deal of the
tiger and the bloodhound. You had
only to arouse him.
Farley was young South Carolinian
of about 26, who entered the war, to
use the expressive camp phrase, ''on
his own hook" He did not want and
would not accept, commission when
it was offered him. The routine Of
camp life was unpleasant to him. aud
he much preferred the liberty &c sc

braid of an officer tied down to pre-
soribed duties to one spot. No doubt
he had what is called "the wild side"

straint. In person Farley Che was

Some question having arisen as to

Charleston, one Of the veterans who

lesion, of the lst South Carolina regu-
lar artillery, and Dr.. Robert Lebby,
Jr., of Gen. Talliaferro's staff. The
attention Of these gentlemen was call

kins was of little moment to the Con-
federatcs. Mr.. John Harlestou thinks
it was not serious"
DIR. Lebby in letter, which, like
Major Manigault's narrative, was not
intended for publication, says:

through the pantry window at the
rear Of the house. Thence they went
through the dining room to Roy's
room up stairs and took roll Of
money, $50 in all, which he had In his
vest pocket. Two watches hung on
the wall over the mantle but they
were not, disturbed. Nothing, in fact,
