Nunipulatorn Of the Key Who Did
Service for the South.

nIunipula tors OF the Key Who Did
Service for the South
In the vast throng that came upfto
the reunion from Texas are two OF the
oldest expert telegraphers now living,
a most Interesting account Of whose
valuable services in the defense OF
vicksburg in 1s62-'s3 have been In
corporated in tho war history Of Mis-
gissippi by General stephen D. Loe.
These veterans are Colonies Lee S.
Daniel and Philip H. Fall, both Of
General S. D. Lees staff. Tho ven
cradle Confedorates now reside ut
Houston, Texas. Tho following Is o
brief synopsis OF tho account by Cen
eral Lee:
In October, 1862 Daniel wns ordered
to the picket outpost at Point Lookout
La, on the Mississippi River, seventy
five miles above yicksburg, the end of
little private telegraph line, with
strict orders to watch tho river day
and night and to report to tho COM
mander at Vicksburg the movement Of
all boats passing. Fall was ordered
to Do Soto, opposite vicksburg, to re-
ceive the dispatches For nearly three
months OF almost perfect quiet. but
about 0 o'clock Christmas Eve, 1869,
their vigilance was rewarded by tho
approach Of tho great hotilla Of some
lsiXty-odd steamboats,. with about 3O,-
600 troops. conveyed by seven gum
boats, stealthily approaching, to sur
prise the small garrison. which was
about six thousand men. Tho passing
OF this formidable army and navy was
promptly. wired by Daniel to Fall,
| tho latter. at great personal risk of
crossing the Mississippi in skiff at
midnight, fearing his red light might
be extinguisheds and his craft befannl-
hilated by tho batteries on tho bluff.
Flo promptly delivered the dispatch
to General NJ l., Smith in the bnll-
room, where great military and civil
ball was In progress, General Smith
| Immediately announced tho astounding
news, md ordered officers and soldiers
to their posts, so that tho little garrl.

Leo was placed In charge OF tho dc.

defeated them, killing and woundine
nearly as many men as he had defend
Ing, and with comparatively small loss
1t Is quite certain that had not the
( approach OF the n0t!lla been promptly
reported, tho garrison would have boer
surprised and Yiclssburg captured al
most without struggle. Plumm'f

ONLY ANIMAL THAT KISSES.
Mans Peculiarly a Boon to Play
wright and Novelist.

Why a salute OF the lips, ordinarily
known as a kiss. should be given such
prominence In the literature and
drama OF the world. both biblical and
historical, cannot be solved by re-
course 10 any written authority; yet
during all these years since the be-
ginning OF time this peculiar saluta-
ton does not appear TO have lost In
value. nor Is there any immediate
prospect OF Its so doing. What the
playwright, the novelist, and the poet
would do without this peg upon which
to hang a plot II would be difficult 20
say, and this applies especially TO
the playwrights, for dozens OF familiar
dramatic productions. several OF
which have graced the New York
stage this season, have found their
greatest factor. the wheel upon which
the machinery OF the scenes runs and
the plot depends. In kiss-that OF a
man and woman.
