SABRE RECOVERED
AFTER MANY YEARS
Interesting Story Of the Good
Fortune Of Judge Bliss, Rhode
Island, in Recovering Sword.
Especial Dispatch to The Times,

especial D1SpatCQ TO Inc IllneS.)
ARCANUM, VA, Aug. ia short
time ago Mr. r. W. Garrett, Of Buck
ingham county, received a letter from
Judge Bliss, of Providence, r. T.. stat
ing that he had been informed by aIr.
Robert Baber, of Buckingham, that Mr..
Garrett was one of the four men he had
wounded in the battle Of WayneSboro,
Va. in 1864.
Mr.. Garnett replied to Judge Bliss let
ter and mentioned that he got possession
OF the sabre that belonged to the man
by whom he was wounded in the charge
of Naynesboro, soon after the fight, and
carried it the rest of the Civil War, and
that two days after the surrender, on his
way home, he put it under the bottom
rail Of a fence, near Buckingham court
house. Mr.. Garrett says he was adj
vised to take off his side arms, and not
knowing the terms Of the surrender, ne
concealed the sabree. intending at the
time, to go for it after peace was re-
stored; but he never did.
Judge Bliss felt certain that the sabre
was the one with which he made the
charge and requested Mr. Garrett to
try and get it for him. Mr.. Garrett
went to see Mr.. B. f. Shepherd. and
learned to his surprise that he
had the sabre in his possession. Mr.
Shepherd said he found it when he moved
the fence from over it in 1874. Mr.. Shep-
herd gave the sabre to Mr.. Garrett, and
on July IS, it was expressed from Farm
vile to Judge Bliss Of Rhode Island, who
expressed great delight at having his
sabre in his hands again.
Thomas w. Garrett was the first man
wounded in tho charge made by Capt.
Bliss at Waynesboro. The other three
were Captain William a. Moss. Latte

Mr. Ingham. once United states b's

of last year.
During their imprisonment there was
much speculation as to what Mr.. lnShaTn
and Mr. hewitt would do after their
release. It was given out at the peal-
tentiary that they We're studying Spanish
and reading law, with a view to estap-
fishing a practice IN Havana Many
other stories concerning their plans were
given out, but the trTe one was never
limited at.
FROM Law TO LITERATURE.
Mr. Insham. at leas had abandoned
the law and gone into literature. When
Mr. Ingha1n's health broke down. 1t is
said overzealous application to this novel
was the cause. He would write and re-
write day after day and night after
night. Even to the warden he would
not confess that he was actually writing
q novel
TN Just scribbling to while away the
time he would say.
Mr.. Ingha1n poses as the Translator Of
the Memoirs of Ernest, Sieur d'Arte-

in the service of Their High MlShu-
nesses, the States General of Holland.

youthful adventures; relating some OF
the stirring scenes enacted about Ant

the Prince of Parma, and detailing in
full how sieur d'Arteveldt met and WOO

Here and there through the book
crop out passages and sentences which
Seem to Indicate that the author felt

the title OF one CT the chapters. 1t also
conveys fair impression of the char
acter OF the book. Love and fighting
are about equally divided. In the twelfth
chapter Mr.. Inghan's hero examines
an internal machine and is arrested. He

next chapter and is ''in prison again" in

In the end the hero marries and lives
happily ever after. That is where the
difference between the hero's prison ex-

perIence comes in.

20 and % per cent. He then shows that In the dTy
plants from to per cent of nitrogen ls present.
but that the mistake has been in thinking that on

OF this belief by proving that the prOted content,
