morning, in approaching the road from
Burksville to Sparta, Tenn, we came
out of byway Immediately in the
rear of and some hundred yards from a
dwelling fronting on the Burksville-
Sparta road, and screening us from
view on the Burksville end AS we
emerged from the woodland, a woman
dwelling and motioned us back We
withdrew from view, but kept in sight
of the door from which the signal to
retire was given, when after few
minutes the woman again appeared
and signaled us to come forward. She
informed us that body of federal
cavalry had just passed, going in the
direction of Burksville, and that the
officer in command informed her that
he was attempting to intercept Gen.
Morgan. We followed the Burksville
road something like a mile, and in
sight of the rear guard. We crossed
Obey's river near the mouth of Wolf,
and halted for two days in the hills
OF Overton county, where we came
upon 40 of our men, who had been
separated from the command on the
expedition into Indiana and Ohio.
These men were placed under my COM
mand, and thence we moved directly
toward the Tennessee river. striking

Bridges Ferry, December 13. There
was no boat to be used in crossing, and
the river was very high and angry.
and about $50 yards wide. We OBJ
tanned an AK from house near by and
proceeded to split logs and make a
raft on which to cross, and by which
to swim our horses. We had learned
that two miles and a half below us
was a federal cavalry camp. This
stimulated us to the utmost. but not
wlthstanding our greatest efforts, we
were three hours in crossing over five
horses and 25 men. At this juncture
the enemy appeared on the opposite
Side and began firing on our men.
Here Gen. Morgan gave character
istic evidence of devotion to his men
but little less marked than that given
py MIN at the time of his capture in
Ohio. He had succeeded in swim
ming his horse almost entirely across
the Ohio river, at last far enough to
be entirely safe, but seeing that the
bulk of his men, who were close
pressed by the enemy, could not es-
cape, he returned to the Ohio side to
surrender with them and share their
fate. In this instance, when the fir
ing began, Gen. Morgan insisted on
staying with the dismounted men and
taking their chances, and was only
dissuaded by my earnest appeal and
representation that such a course
would endanger the men as we'll as
ourselves. The men, by scattering in
the mountains, did ultimately make
their way through the federal lines
and reach the confederacy."-National

A ThaIi WEDDING.

In many parts OF India Hindoo girls
are welded not with a ring, but with a
necklet or thali AT the wedding of the
daughter Of le2din Z native, Moulmein,
there were present among the numer-
Gus guests HindOo maiden and her
lover, whose suit N ad not so far pro-
crossed to his satiSf action. While the
wedding ceremony was in progress the
young man suddenly went up to her
and before any one suspected what his
object WAS pulled out thali from his
pocket and quietly tied it round her
neck. Of course there was a hubbub as
well as parental lamentations over this
dramatic episode, but so great is the
yeneration for the thali among Hin
docs that no one cared to remove it
from the neck of the astonished maid
en-. All concerned, therefore, repaired
to the Marianne temple, where the
act was ratified, and the maid who went
to the wedding OF her friend fancy
free left the scene as the legal wife Of

One of the speakers on the Affirmative
side, after an eloquent exordium, pro-
ceeded to say:
"Now, Mr.. President, the gentleman
who preceded me has undertaken to
show by an appeal to history that mon
arches are short lived. He has en-
deavored to bolster up his side of the
argument by giving a list of kingdoms
and empires that have risen, fiourished
a short time and fallen. He fails to
mention the fact that most of the
strong governments in all ages of the
world have been monarchies. He does
not give you list of the republics that
have strutted their brief hour upon the
stage and disappeared. He contents
himself, Mr.. President. with general
ities. Let us examine both sides of this
question and see how easy it is, with
the sword of truth, to simply clash that
argument into ribbons"

the speakers on the negative side of
the question::
