Major Davis was a guest at Libby
from July 23, 1868, to May Z, 1864.
when the advance of Grant alarmed the
Johnnies and the prison was depopu-

While in prison about 100 of the Of

Major Davis party there were five at

three officers of the United States SER

felled a tree and the others we're called
upon to take hold and lift 1t up; in
stead of their doing so the five officers
walked away into a swamp and struck

They had been prisoners OF war from
sixteen to eighteen months.
They had been out two days, when
the discovery Of the loss of 200 or 800
Union officers was noted at Camp Sor-
ghum, and for their recovery the COM
manding officer of the Confederate
army offered to give to any family
that brought in an escaped prisoner
| the right to name a man in the SER
vice who should be given thirty days
furlough to see his people. The major
crossed the Saluda river and were
| concealed upon the other bank when
there was a disturbance on the side
from whence they had come, and they
saw before their eyes some of their
comrades, escaping prisoners, recap
tured by the rebels, without their being
able to lift a finger.

night, always in lock step. 50 that

The Craze for PinR-Pong.

Ping pong continues the craze IN
England. Recently big tournament
was he'd in the town hall at Leeds
for the benefit of the local war relief
fund. Twelve tables for the game were
gathered in the large room, which
was densely packed with spectators.
The fever, too, RACES among the off,

played regularly in the evenings after

as caddies, and with the pitching Of
the ships the young men have lots of
fun retrieving balls that bound from
the tables.
