An Intruder.

During the absence of Austin
Callan, the accomplished reporter
of the Standard, last Friday night,
being at work at the Office getting
out the paper, Mrs. Callan being
alone in a room of their house at
the Post, was awakened by the
presence of a man in the room.
The touch of the scoundrel's hand
on her throat awakened the lady
and she sprang out of the bed on
the opposite side. The man
lodged into the dark, being near
q window in which the moon was
shining and Mrs. Callan secured
pistol which she pointed at the
scoundrel, at the same time call
ing to her sister who was in
another room. The young lady
called to her sister to "get the
pistol" and the impudent scoun-
drel was heard to chuckle, as if
he thought they were trying to
bluff him. As the young lady
came in with the light the scoun-
drel opened the door, which was
thumb bolted, and made good his
exit.
The only reason Mrs. Callan did
not shoot was because she was
afraid she would make O mistake
that it was Mr.. Callan.
Next morning Mr.. ,Callan made
a close search for the trail of the
fiend but only a few tracks could
be found, and no clew whatever
could be found except that from
the tracks it was Judged he wore
sharp heel boots.
Comparatively few have heard
of the affair, and after this has
been read we can imagine the care
with which doors will be bolted
and screens securely fastened

Enjoyed the Reunion!

u. /. Williams, was among the
veterans who returned from the
reunion on Sunday mornings
train. Mr.. Williams is prodigal
in his praises of the people of
Dallas for the way the
reunion crowd was handled,
and especially the hospitality
shown the veterans. He says
there was ample accommodations
for all, and that 10000 beds were
empty for the want of dodgers,
though there were some who fail
ed to obtain lodgings because
they were not found by the enter
tainment committee. The com
missary was singly faultless-
good "chuck" and well prepared,
with plenty of attentive walters,
One of the sights Mr.. Williams
saw will be of interest TO our
readers: An old TINT darkey, an
ex-slave, was put by the vets. to
make a speech. The old negro
was in his glory and going ahead
with his speech when a gray
haired veteran came up and en-
quired of the bystanders the ne
groe's name. He walked up to the
ngro, and. interrupting his speech
enquired if he knew him. The
old negro looked at the veteran
for a minute before he spoke, and
finally fairly jumping with joy
he threw his arms around his old
masters neck, crying, "my old
MASTER" my old master"
master, you sho' looks good,
Mr.. Williams was with Stone
wall Jackson when he died, and
has gone through some of the Sc
verest experiences of war times,
and then the stormy scenes of
reconstruction in his old Georgia
state, and he says that the fine
ladies at Dallas paid him and his
companions with the greatest
respect and consideration, and
that he never "shook hands with
as many pretty women in his
life. "
