IHK OLD RRADINO CLASS.

WILL CAKLKTQX. I can not tell you, Genevieve, how It cornea to me That rather roan? old reading class ia District That row of elocutionists who stood so straight in line. And chanted at standard literature with amiable det-ign. "NYe did not spare u,e energy ia walch our ward were dad; We gave the meaning of the text by all the light we had ; But still I fear the ones who wrote the lines we lead so Ire Voul1 KCrie have recognize! their work ia District Number Three. Outline the snow was smooth ud clean the winter's thick-laid dust; lhe storm it made the windows speak at every ud den gust; I'risbt sleigh-beils threw up pleasant word when travellers would pa.; lbe rnaple-uees along Uia road stood shiverinz in their clas: Eeyocd, the wbite browed cottages were nestling; cold aud dumb. And far away the mighty world seemed beckoniug s 10 ccme The wondious world, of which we conned what bad been and might be. In that old-fashioned reading class of District Number Three. We tCOk a band at History its altars, aj.lrej, aal flame? And uniform ly mispronounced the most lmportant names; "We wandered through Biography, and gave our fancy pi ay. And with tome subjects iell in love "good only lor one day," Ia Romacce and Philosophy we settled maay a point. And made what poems we assailed to creak at every joint; And many authors that we love, you with me will acreo. Were first tune introduced to us in DUtrict N umber Three. You recollect Susannah Smith, the teacher's sore dlstrer. Who never stopped at any pause a sort of day expre '.' And timid young Sylvester Jones, of inconsistent siht. Who Mumble J on the easy words, and road the bard one right? And Jennie 'ireen, whose doleful voice was always clothed in black? And Samuel Hicks, whose tone induced the plastering a'l to crack? .And Andrew lubb. whose various mouth were quite a show to see? Alaa! we can not find them now in District Ncmber Three. And Jasper Jenckes, whose tears would flow at each pathetic word. (He's in the prize-tight business now, and bits them bard, I've heard); And Benny riayne, whose every tone he murin urt-d ssin fear (Ills tongue is not so timid now: he is an auctioneer); And Lanty Wood, whose voice was just endeavoring bard to change. And leaped from hoarse to fiercely shrill with most surprising racge; Alio his sister Mary Jaue, to lull of prudish glee. Alas; they're both in higher schools than District Number Three, So back the various voices come, ihouKh Ions the years have grown. And sound uncommonly distinct through Memory's telephone; And tome are lull of melody, and bring a cense ol cheer, And acme can smito the rock of time, and summon forth a tear; But cne veet voice comes back to me, whenever sad I cneve. And sings a tovg, and that is yours, O peerless lieLcvicve! It biighteisup the olden times, and throws a tmi'.e at me A nlvr star amid the clou 3s of District Number 'Ihne. Harper's Magazine.

Tho ma t whose soul ia ia his work finds his best reward in the work itself. The joy of reward. It 13 as absurd to pretend that one can not love tho same woman always, as to pretend that a geed artist needs several violins to ex ecute a piece of music. Balzac. Julian Hawthorne said a neat thing ir h:3 lecture to the Concord school of philosophy when he gave the agnostics a definition of life as "the predicament previous to death.' A newly arrived immigrant to this coun try was asked if be intended to support the government. 'Why." he eiclaimed, "is there a government in this counury?

Nothing seta so wide a mark between the vulgar and the noble soul as the respect and reverential love of womanhood. A man who is always sneering at woman is generally a coarse profligate or a coarse bigot no matter which. A St. Louis paper prints coupon tickets to be cut cut by readers, and returned to the effice filled with the names of the most beautiful women in the city. The belles of Si, .Louis are holding their breath until the resuit is declared. John Burroughs called Ilerbert Spencer 'the intellectual clearing-house" of the nineteenth century. It is a beautiful idea. By another evolution he might be called the mind's produce exchange, or the lench show of thoug&t. New Orleans Picayune. The Greeks considered beauty so essentially a divino boon that the mother prayed to Zeus that her child might be, before all things, beautiful. Beauty teemed to the Greeks the viiible sign of an inward grace, and an expression of divine good-will. Sirs. II. lt. Ilaweis. It is a curious story that cornea from Cleveland in regard to the anonymous novel, "The Bread-Winners," begun in the Auguät Ceatu'y. The MS of the atory ia said to have been found in the desk of the late Leonard Case, of that city, the bachelor millionaire and munificent founder of the Case School of Applied Science. Dr. T. IL Allison, a London vegetarian, declares that "diet ia the philosopher's stone of medicine, and by its aid we can work woaders. Allow me to diet a person and I will make him lively and gay, or morose and sad, gcod tempered or bad tempered, studious or lazy, and long lived or short lived; and, what is more, almost give him any disease known." A recent fashion article says: "Very few mothers let their children wear low shoes, since physicians condemn them aa a fruitful source of weak ankles." This will be news indeed to the farmer's wife who allows her children to run barefooted the entire summer. Time was when boots were denied boys on the ground that by giving undue support to the anklet the joints ware weakened. How doctors do disagree! Sir Henry Thompson, the London surgeon recognizes in fish a combination of all the elements of food that the human body requires in almost any phase of life,more especially by thoee who follow sedentary employment. To women he considers fish to be an invaluable article of diet, but he scouts as a complete fallacy the notion that fish eating increases the brain po wer. -The only action fish had -on the brain was to put a man's body into proper relations with the work he had to -do." In Lapland the tun never eroes down duJ ring May, June, and July, but, in winter, for two months, he never rises at all.

In one of Carlyle's letters to Emerson occurs this portrait of Daniel Webster: As a logic fencer.advocate on parliamentary Her eules ene would incline to back him, at first tight, tgainst all the extant world.

In the laf t debate in the house of lords on the deceased wife's sister marriage bill, the following aigament was advanced: "The noble lord objects to the bill becaise the wife's sister is really in law the sister of the husband I It she is the ßistor of the hua band, then her sister is also her sistert and be has married his own sister! And if in law he is the brother of his wife's sister, then he ia the brother of that sister's sister; and 1 submit, also, that the wife baa married her own brother 1 The proposition is proved on both sides, and t he only safe mle ia to prohibit the marriage ot any man who has brothers with any woman who has listers."

Some of the imported dresses of blick, lace and other diaphanous fabrics are t'immed with exquisite silver passamnUrios and ornaments forming pendants at the ends of narrow satin ribbons upon the tabler and scarfs, and at the edges of the crenelated bodice. Silver lace is also used, and the draperies are held with silver buckles in filigree in old Roman designs. BICH AMD POOR THIEVES.

II ow Their Sins Find the Xrangrcssor Out and His Iniquities Do Follow Ulm. Does a thiefa trade pay?" The question was put to Inspector Byrnes in his office at police headquarters by a World reporter. The Inspector, to his success as a detective a shrewd knowledge of human nature haa contribateJ no les than downright ability as a policeman looked at the questioner thoroughly, then at the trophies of triumphant detective skill and ex piated crime that lined the walls, knocked the ashes from his cigar, and said, with laconic drjness, "Hardly." ' Ever" was on the lips of the irreverent scr.be, but a warning look of the chief in the direction of a collection of battle ax as in the corner made him swallow the word. 'Then why do men steal?' he asked. 'Some because thev can not help it, others because they find the chance. Most because bad company and lewd women drive tfcem to it Theroar9 families in which crime runs like insanity. I know of five brothers born and bred in New York who are now in prison for theft. Such people, you may fairly aesume, are born to steal. Bank cashiers and collectors are tempted by their opportunities. Young clorxs on imall pay, whoto employers fail to look closely enough after their personal habits, serve their apprenticeships at such resorts as McGlory g. Owney Gecghegan'a, ar,d The. Allen's, where they spend their nights with loose women. The cases of young Stern, who lobbed hia father, and Jacob Vix, who stole from his employer, are characteristic instances. Drink helps to drown the voice of conscienco and the gambling-table -finishes the job. The man turns thief. According to his ability, he ranks in that as in all o'.her trades. Some steal great sums, other small; veiy lew keep anything. A common fate awaits them all. All thieves gamblo and waste the money they steal. Plenty of them never "work" unless they are two-thirds drunk; along with most every report of burglary comes the story of whisky-bottlea left behind evidence that the thieves required stimulants to give them courage. When their money is drank up or gambled away they have no alternative but to steil. They raitly attempt it till driven. The tools and money are furnished byaclas of men who, without participating in the actual ctirre, find the iunda and cet a percentage it the trick is successful. What the thief himfelfgets, be it much or little, goas always the same way." "Do ncno get rich and retire from busintss?; Very few. Most of them die in misery, or as pauper?, or in their boots many at the hands of their own comrades. Fear and guilt are the passions that sway them. There is no such thing as honor among thieves. I could easily count on my fingers those who have amassed wealth, and to how many of them has it been of use? Adam Worth, a noted bank-sneak, is one of them. lie is an American and a very skillful mechanic. lie devised several improvements in burglars' tools that proved very useful. His last job was to rob a lioston Dank. With the insunct of an Israelite he saved what he got. Now he lives in luxury in London, where his hcuse is the resort of all great American thieves who go abroad. lie drives around in hia dog-cart every day and has all he wants. Ü et he would give all hia wealth if he could come back to America. But he can't and he knows it, lie is wanted here." 'Rule Minor, the bank-sneak, who was caught a week or two ago and is now doing time for a robbery in Baltimore one of the half dozen big robberies he is wanted for is another, lie is said to cwn considerable real estate in New York, but what good is it to him now? Mortimer Xeliey, a great thief in his day, who robbed Larry Jerome of $200,000, but got off for want of evidence and died in an Insane Asylum in Paris, left much property in Boston, where he belonged, but it did not benefit him. John O'Keefe, alias 'Johnny the Greek,' an expert pick-pocket, died two years ago, leaving $10,000. Joe Dollard and Jack W'rh. two ot the worst men running around at large, burglars who associated with Johnny Dobbs, Jack Iryic, Billy Porter, and men of their stamp, and made it very hot for the police of New York and its suburbs once, accumulated a gocd deal of money. After working the south and west, when it was unsafe to stay here any longer, they concluded two months go to try their hands in Europe. They went over to England, and were caught there in a burglary three weeks ago. Now they are both doing time on a five years' sentence. Oh, yes, a few of them have money. But the great mass of them are poorer than Job'a turkey." It required some persuaeion, and the mention of several well-known burglars as cases in point, to get the inspector to tell the other end of his story. 'Dutch Ileinrich," said the inspector, 'is perhaps aa lair a sample as any. He bvl teen in the stealing of $2,000 000 or $3,000,0C0, ard had a hand in the largest robberiea. Five j ears ago he became a regular bummer, grew half-witted, and used to come in and get lodging at night in the Mercer street police station. Finally a little purse was gotten up for him, and he was seat to

Germany, wherejhe died in an Inaane Asylum, lie worked with the boat, and did clever things while he had hid wits; but faro-banks an 1 women knocked him out. William Boy er, alias 'Bolls,' who was called the 'king propman,' because of his handy waycf itealing gentlemen's diamond pins (proy!. died without a penny ; and Tommy Stack, the pickpocket who. a good many years ago, robbed a New York editor of $12,CC0 in government bonds, is now praj zed, blind, and a burden to himself. lie wts pardoned out of the Charlestowa peai. tcntiary as an utter wreck. "Tim O'Brien, alias 'lied Tim, a very noted expert pickpecket and gambler, once worth thousands, died in Philalelphia a consumptive, without a dollar or a friend. Pete Wiley, who had a hand in many large silk rntleries, died there, too, poor and miserable. No frier d came to see Charles Bothachild, the shoplifter, who once drove his fecr-in-tand and scattered hid money with a lavish hand. On his death -bed, he did not leave enough to defray the expenses of the commonest funeral. JacoD Levy, a pickpocket and well-known receiver of stolen goods in Hester street, who owned a large farm at Jerusalem, Long Island, and was looked upon aa wealthy, died penniless in a New York hospital. Korvin Carr, a hotel and house !hief,who with Troy Dennis and Bill Vesburgh, stole 200,000 at the house of Mr. Moore, on Madison avenue, died in the IHackweH's Island Insane Asylum without a dollar. Of hia two Confederates, Troy Dann is, whose specialty was that of a 'secord Etory workor,' was killed while committing a burglary in Thirty-fourth street. The window coping fell on him. He was penniless. Biil Vosbiirijh, wbo is yet alive, is poor and miserable. He ia at present 'working' tho iron pier at Coney Itland. "Joseph Butts, of Wohlgemuth, the famous 'hotel-worker,' who in the summer of lbC7 robbed five rooms in the fifth story cf the St. Nicholas hotel, by stepping from window to window on the sills, died a year and a half ago in a hospital in this city, an outcast. James Dolan, alias 'the doctor.' who picked pockets with Bed Leary at the Paris exposition and was sent to he galleys for five years, died afterward in Sing Sing, a broken man. 'Ike' Weber, the counterfeiter, went around, a beggar, a year before he died. He was the able representative of the Pennsylvania 'koniackers,' who made money hand over fist, and spent it as fast. Dies: Mocre 'Ten-to-one Dick who stole more than $1,(00,000 and gambled it away, lived in New York in abject poverty a full year, before he died of consumption. Charley Becker, the famous engraver and counterfeiter, who was in the gang that operated on the continent in American letters of credit, and came to grief in Florence, was afterward sent to prifon in Brooklyn for at tempting to forge French bank notes. He died there without money or friend, alter making repeated but vain efforts to escape. The bank burglar, James Griffin, who, after assisting in the theft of $200,000 at the Wall street office cf the 3 loyal Insurance Company, was cheated by Dan Noble, his partner, and turned State's evidence against him, died a pauper; and eo did Jack Ludlow, the confederate of Max Shinburne and George Miles, in the Ocean bank robbery. Scott, who was in the Northampton bank burglary, and got twenty years for it, died after serving out two years of his service, and hia share o; the s olen JSOO.OOO never came to light. "George Howard, the expert bank-burglar wbo, it is said, used to buy intricate aafokcks and spe-d months in his room studying their mechanism, was found killed in Winchester county one day It was supposed that he had been hot dead by his associate for cheating him. So far as known he owned nothing. Neither did the thief Jesse Allen, of the well known Allen family in 'this city. After serving a seven years' sontence in Ohio for a Cleveland bank, he was found dead in the rear of a country railway depot, with a kit of burglar's tools lying beiide him. He had apparently died a natural death when about to commit a crime. John Hughos, a notorious burglar, who was shot dead while blowing up a safe in New Jersey, had gambled away a fortune and had not a cent left. "Big John Garvey, a 'second-story worker,' who had stolen enough to make twenty men rich and yet remained poor, fell through a well-hole in a Brooklyn house with his arms lull of silver wedding presents he hal stolen, and u killed. Garvey escaped from Sing Sing so cleverly that his keepers never cculd find out how till he was eaight and went back and showed them. Jim Caiey, the bank burglar, was shot dead by hia "pal," Tom McCormick, in Twenty-seventh street, in a quarrel over the divüion of money stolen from a Philadelphia bank. Uia wife,', Eilen Casey, was a professional pickpocket. While plying her trade on Eighth

avenue on the day of the Jrange riot in July, 1871, sho was shot in the leg, and when she was searched at the hospital .twelve pocketbooks wero found on her. She is now in England, where she was arrested a year ago lor trying to force an orphan girl to loarn tie trade of a thief. New York World. CIKIOCS, USEFUL AND SCIENTIFIC. 1 he Mexican Government is encouraging the manufacture of paper and textile fabrics frcm cactus, and has recently granted important concessions to the individuals who propose engaging in the new industry. A Minneapolis man has invented a way to compress wteat bran into solid bars like sticks of wocd, and it is thought that in this form it may be largely exported. The stick can be prepared for use either by cutting up or scaking in water. Edward Bromley, a young Philadelphia machinist, asserts that he has discovered a new mechanical law, the application of which will enable him to increase a hundred fold the power of any machine, from a clock to a steamship, without using an ounce more fuel than usual or driving the motive power any faster than ordinarily. The discovery consists in combining the action of the screw, the inclined plane and one other form which, like Mr. Keeley, he refuses to mention. One of the strongest arguments in favor of cremation is, that cemeteries are perennial sources of contagion. This theory has received additional confirmation in the discovery recently made by Dr. Freire, of liio Janeiro. In examining the earth where the victims of yellow-fever had been interred the year before he found "myriads of microbii, exactly identical with those found in the vomitings of persons sick with yellowfever." These germs he haa cultivated, and has reproduced the diseaso in animals, whose blood after death he found to be filled with the seeds of yellow-fever in various stages of growth. The Manchester (N. II.) Mirror says: "Pyrethrum is well spoken of as an insect powder. It is cheap, said to be poisonous only to insects and very effectual. At tha experiment station at Amherst they 'mix a tablespconful of the insect powder in a pailful of equal parts of water and buttermilk, and sprinkle it on currants, potato 3s or other plants infested with bugs or woimi. The outlet milk makes the powder stick to the plant, and in about half an hour the insects get a Eood mouthful of it, curl, drop to the grcurd and die. Should it prov efTetutl against the rose lug on grapevines, pvrethrum will certainly be a bleeding. Tao plant is easily grown in gardens."

In seme respects the gentler sex surpass us. No man, for instance, can deliver a lecture with a dozen pins in his mouth. Divinity student: "What is the best thing to say when the moequitces bite?" No use telling you, you wouldn't dare to say it. Toung men having experience in paying attention to young ladies assert that it ia easier to drive with one hand than it is to row with one hand. A spinster of thirty-five says that on reading Tom Mcore's statement, that "There's nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dream." she wondered how it was with the love dreams of those of her age, and tsks my opinion.

Can any metaphysician explain why a young lady will appear before a thousand curious strangers on the beach at Long Branch or Newport in a costume in which she would be ashamed to be seen by her father and brothers at home? When the editor proposed and was accepted, he said to his sweathe&rt: "I would be glad if you would give me a kiss;" then, observing her blush, he a3ded, ''not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith." She could not resist that. Ye," said the young gentleman.' Charlie has put a slur a delicate slur upon me." "What was it?" "Introduced me to his girl." "How'athataslur?" "Why, isn't it equivalent to saying, 'Oh, you're of no account; there's no danger of you cutting me out.' " A Boston religious weekly feelingly asks: 'Why do flies bite so much worse in church than anywhere else?" This is a difficult conundrum; but it may be that a man ia harder to keep awake in church in some churches, at least, than anywhere else. Norristown Herald. Profe?eor Harris, of Concord School of Philosophy says, "Ihat which should be continued f by its environment might be '.till finite it it could arrive at an environment f a different kind, whuh did not odtime it.' And right in the face of this statement the telegraph operators struck. Hartford Poet. An Illinois Bewspaper relates that at a wedding recently in that state a parson who is generally ready at repartee was completely ncnpluseed by an aged matron, who, after hearing the words, "Whoin God hath joined together let no man put asunder," exclaimed with great earnestness, "Or no woman either, for they're just as bad as the men." An old Vermont farmer rather took the cent us man aback the other day. The census man asked him it he was married. "No, I beant," was the reply. 'Caildless, then, I suppoee," soing on to make the entry. "Wal, no not exactly,' replied the veteran, "I have good forty-two on 'em." "Gracious!" exclaimed the interlocutor, "I thought you said vou wasn't married?" "Wal, I ain't," was the reply, "but I uster be." Burlington Free Press." A bashful young man went three times to ask a beautiful young lady if he might be the partner of her joys and sorrows and other household furniture, but each time his heart failed him and he took the question away unpopped. She saw the anguish of his soul and took compassion on him. So the next time he came sho asked him if he thought to bring a screw-driver with him. He blushed and wanted to know what for.

He used to dreidto vieit her, so long was the catalogue of ills that she was want to unfold before him. Ofccursohe was expected to sympathize and he did his beet. It happened at last that the parson fell sick and had a long seige of typhoid fever. When he recovered he determined to visit the sick first. He made inquiry of a lady pariehoner as to the invalids, and was told that Mrs. Squire the lady .spoken ol above had been very sick. Arrived at that lady's house, Parson Pyne sent in his card, and Mrs. Squire came down stairs the picture of health. The dominie congratulated her on her improved appearance. "I hear you have been sick and I called to bring" you the sympathy which you do not appear to need." "You have been sick, doctor, I understand, and seriously." "Yes," said the dominie, with a sigh; 'that is the reason I can sympathize with jou so readily. 1 know all that you must have suffered.

Dr. Gaines, of Slater, Mo., is one of the three men who witnessed tho killing of tie confederate General John Morgan. He has related a history of the affair of the Louisville Ccurier-Journal, and it is the firat statement of an eye witness that has ever baen in print. "It has been nearly nineteen years since that memorable incident occurred," he bogan, "but the events were so firmly impressed on my mind that I do not think I could ever forget the slightest particular, if I lived a thousand. It was on the evening of the 3d of September that General Morgan established his headquarters in Greenville. Our detachment, of which I was then Adjutant, bad ridden from Abingdon that day, without anj thing to eat for either ourselves or horses. I do not remember how many men were with us at the tino.9. The country was a very poor one, and they were sent out in squads wherever they could find forage. General Morgan fixed hia headquarters at the house cf a Mrs. Williams, while I encamped with my detachment a short distance off. "I think the general had Rime premonition of danger from the start. When he rode up to Mrs. Williams' house a woman, who. was ascertained to be her daughter, was scan to ride away quickly. This awakened his suspicions, and ho inquired her object in thus leaving, of her mother, but was told that she bad gone out into the country to est watermelons at a friend's huse. Mrs. Williams tcld this very frankly, but added that ber daughter had a husband in the federal army, v-hich was lying encamped at Bull's gap, a distance of eighteen miles from Greenville, and that he would probably have them to fight next day. She did not say that her daughter had gone to give them information of our arrival, but declared that she would be back in a short time. As the evening wore off the woman failed to return, and General Morgah again questioned Mrs. Williams, but was tola that her daughter's hone had probably been taken by our troop3, and with this explanation he was forced to be satufied. 1 believe he thought that an attack wculd probably be made agiinst us tho next day, and in view of this it soems a little remarkable that he should have sent the most of his men out of town. This could not weil be avcided, however, aa there W6S rcthir.g for either them or their horses to eat in Greenville, and he was tco humane a man to be willing to see hia soldiers sutler for the provisions whi?hthey could easily procure by scattering out in the surrounding country. My headquarters with the remnant of Colonelj Dick Morgan's detachment, of which I was m charge, wero near General Morgan's. There was a rumor that night that a federal spy wa3 in town, and, in company with Lieutenant Wado, I searched the whole place over till midnight,but was unable to find anyone but the citizens and our soldiers. I returned to headquarters with the intention of reporting to General Morgan shortly after 12 o'clock, but was told that he was in bed and asleep, so I did not disturb him. It had commenced to rein hard about that time, and continued p mring down till morning. That morning at daylight we had bot n ordered to move. It will be remembered that cur command was the only one near town, the others being scattered around for several miles out in the country. Bkfore we started I and Major. Lawrence Dickson tcok our horses in town to procure them seme hay. We found come feed after a little trouble, and while the horses were eating strolled out to take a look at the place. Just then we beard shooting begin all over town. We ran cut into tho square, and there was six federal soldiers who hd just come out and ordered us to come to them. As we saw that we were overpowered,we started to do so, but as soon as we did they commenced firing. We returned the fire, and two of their men ran, leaving four standing ground. We continued our firing until our pistols were emptied, and then Dickinson suggested that as we had no more loads we had better surrender; but though we offered to do so they kept up the attack. We then retreated around a house, where they followed and accepted our surrender. All this happened in less time than it has taken to tell it. 'After capturing us we were marched to General Morgan's headquarters, where the shooting was still going on. A few other prisoners were there, and we were all put together in charge of a guard. While we were standing there I saw General Morgan come out from under the house, which was a little elevated off the ground. He was accompanied by Lytton Johnson, then quite a young man. By this time the town was filled with blue coats, and Captain Wilcox.a federal officer, coming up with about twenty men, General Morgan surrendered. As well us I remember, there was a fence between the place where I was standing and where the general was, but wo were only a few yards apart. Captain Wilcox remained talking a lew minutes and then turned to leave. He was riding General Morgan's famous rorrel horse, which some of bis men bad just captured, and were joking him about having it at last in hit possession. About fifteen minutes after he left Sergeant W. E. Campbell, with a squad of five or six men, rode cp in a swaggering bravado manner, scd roughly domaadad which was General

I remember his appoaranc distinctly. Ue was in his shirtsleeve?, with his pints tt ruit into a pair of high-top boots, and with a cap on his head. As Campbell rode up he leveled his gun, and General Morgan, seeing his action, exclaimed: 'Great Göd! Don't not n e; I'm a prisoner.' Campbell paid no atttnticn to what he sail, but tired immeiuiv. fco bullet striking him near the left shoulder and ranging through his body to his right arm. He tottered to his feat an in

stant and then, exclaiming "Oh, God!" tell Urward on his face with scarcely a tremor. Our rrfn, who were standing near, weie too dumbfounded to utter a protest, but stood transfixed with horror. "Two or throo of Campbell's men got down as soon as their leader fired, and picking up the body of his victim they threw it in frost of him on the cantle of his saddle, w r re b eve two or three gasps and expired. This was fully twenty minutes after his surrender to Captain Wilcox. They stood undecided what to do for a few seconds, and then a federal soldier came up, who asked Campbell who he had there, and the scouhorel if plied in a boasting tone, that it was 'that d n Morgan, whom he had shot after his surrender.' The impression of horror that was made upon me at that time I would net forget if I lived a thouf and years. There we wer utterly helpless, with the body of our beloved leader slain before our face, and surrounded by men who were gloating over the deed. At last one spoke up, and a-ked Campbell why he had shot our General after his surrender. He replied that General Giilaim had told him that if he got Morgan he was to p it him where he couldn t get away, and he understood by this that he to be killed. He added: 'If you don't dry up I will put you in the same fix.' I think it was Dickenson who asked Lim this querlion. Nothing more wa3 sa'd after thir, and then a soldier came up who ordered Campbell to take the body to General Gillism. Instead cf doing so decently and quietly, the brute took his men, and, forcing us to follow, went flying around town displaying the body of his victim until he received a second order, which he obeyed. We met Gilliam's command about two miles out of town, when Campbell took the body by the hair, and, in eight of the whole eUn", threw it off backward into the muddy road. As he did this Gilliam's adjutant general and LieulColonelBrown!ow(ason of the notorious Parson Brownlow) jumped down off their horses and each tcok off one of the daad man's boots, while their commanl gave three cheers and a tiger, then riding off in a h'ur'i glee they left ua with the body. As the officers rode by they would each" get djwn.and takirg a lock of Morgan's hair or whiskers, wculd exult and swear that "the d d euerrilla chief had been captured at !a.t." They rode on to town, leaving usua.er guard with the body lying in the road. I forgot to say that they also called us horse-thieves and took off our hats, leaving us barehanded. After awhile we were taken to town and kept till evening, when we sent a request to General Gilliam to allw us to got the body. He screed to lhis,and Ciptaxs Jamas II oge-j and Harry Clay went out under tru&rd witi an ambulante, and, seeming the body, took it to Mrs. Williams', where they dressed it, and then came back to where we were. All the prisoners joined in and raised about $ 10, which we gave to an old countryman who carried it to Mrs. Morgan, a. Abingdon.
