SURPRISED TIE CAPTIVE.
An Incident That Aroused Varied Emo'
tions All Around.

An Incident That Aroused Varied Emo'
tions All Around.
In his "Reminisc euceS" General Basil
W. Duke Of the Confederate army tells
of an incident he witneS. ed just after
the close Of the war:
"One morning about . o'clock l was
sitting on the platform OF a station
waiting for my train when my atten-
ton was attracted to squad Of Fed
eral soldiers who had evidently been
on guard during the night. but were
were we'll supplied with rations and
seemed in high spirits.
Just then l caught sight Of Il tank.
hungry looking fellow who was un1nis-
takably an ex-Confederate. He Wore
a ragged. faded gray jacket, with the
buttons cut off, pair of most dilap-
idated blue trousers and an old canvas
haversack, as empty as extra sidereal
space. hung around his neck. II he
had eaten a square meal within six
months appearances were deceitful.
He was partially hidden behind Il cot
ton bale. whence he watched the Yam
kee spread with eyes that threatened
to protrude across the Intervening dis
lance
About the time / saw him the
'Yanks' also caught sight of him. They
held short consultation: then one of
them sprang up, started toward him
and shouted out:
''Hello reb. Come this way: we
want you!
For some reason-perhaps because
was sick and peevish-l conceived
the idea that they wanted to arrest
him. and my blood boiled with indig-
nation at so totally an unprovoked act
of oppression.
The Johnnie evidently entertained
the same opinion. for he began rather
rapid retreat. A fresh summons. how
ever. REINFORCED by volley of threats,
induced him to turn and approach the
party. with an attempted dignity of
demeanor that was ludicrous compared
with his hasty retrograde movement.
"When he reached the spot where
the grub was the Yanks seized him,
made him sit down and began to ex-
ert themselves to appease his manifest
hunger. I have known some extraordi.
nary feeders, but honestly believe
have never seen any other two mer
eat as much as that fellow did. He
kept at it steadily for not less than ar
hour. while the Yanks aided and en-.
couraged him to the utmost. He drank
six tin cupfuls of coffee. He swelled
visibly, and l wondered how his frai!
garments stood the tension.
when at length he finished his cap,
tors crammed his weatherbeaten old
haversack full Of hard tack and bacon
and sent him on his way rejoicing.
1T is scarcely necessary to say that
my own feelings in regard to the in.
cident had very materially changed
during it's progress
