A DEAF ANIJ DUMB SPY,
Shorinnn did not leave Chattftitooca
for Atlanta without knowing all about
Iho touto and its obstructions. His
spies 'and scouts, passed over almost
every milo of the distanoo, nnd made
lull anil neon ra to reports. 1 was ono
of tho last sent out and tho last to re
turn, and I had a close sbavo of it. In
formation wns required which obliged
mo to enter tho Confederate camps and
seo with ray own oyoa, and us two or
three of our spies had been captured
and hung, and tho Confederates wero
on tho qui vivq to prqvont others from
penetrating their hues, 1 needed some
thing moro than a disguise After
canvnslhg the mattjr for awhile, I
adopted tho suggestion of a regimen
tal surgeon to play the role of a "dum
my.'' I was to bo deaf and dumb, ond
carry pencil and paper, and do my'
talking mat way. no coacnea mo lor
two or three days before tho start, ond
when I was ready to go 1 bad master
ed tho situation. Tho surgeon had
been assistant superintendent in a deaf
nnd dumb asylnm for several years,
and ho was peculiarly titled to toaoh
mo my stepH.
lotinw reply that any ono can
"play deaf and dumb' and deceive
people. Yes, any one can, up to a cer
tain point. I was to go beyond that
noint. If it was discovered that I was
not what I claimed to bo mv life would
pay tho, forfeit. I was provided with
a bundle of stationery, sorao tobacco,
a lot of religions tracts, articles of
cheap goods and a few specialties, and
1 left tho Federal outposts ono dark
and rainy evening in good spirits. Ob
structing Sherman's Rdvanco was tho
mountain barrier called Rocky Face
Ridge. Tho main gap through which
the railroad and highway ran and still
run, in called Buzzard's Roost Gap.
Our scouts and spies had reported this
can so stronclv Inrtihod that bher.nan
felt ho could uot force it. Further
south is Snake Creek Gap. Ono of
mv objects was to ascertain how this
Ciii) was defended.
I was well within tho Confederate
lines before midnight, and at about that
hour Ifound shelter in abarn, and slept
until two hours alter daylicht. When 1
turned out no ono was in sitht, and I
had walked fullv two miles along tho
hitihwav before I met any one. Then
I encountered a party of about thirty
cavalryman goinu to tho front. I was
in citizen's clothes, had a pack on my
hack, and, of course, expected to bo
stopped. Tho troop was commauded
by a lieutenant, and as he came up ho

Uoro was tne nrsi test, ino men
had gathered around me, and every
one had his eve upon me. It was a
omuliment to me that one ot mo mon
called oUt before I had mado a sign:
"D g gone him, lies a dummy! lies

I wrote on my tablet: "What do
you want? and the lieutenant wrote
in roolv: "Who are you, and where

I cavb my name a( Georco Smith,
and stated that I was a Confederate
peddler. I opened my bundle, present
ed him with some tooacoo, and eevo
r.l of tho men mado purchases. The
ollioer a-.ked for my pas?, and I told
him It was taken from mo three days
before by some Yankee raiders who
had cLDtured mo and turned mu loose
"Well, they'll overhaul him back
there, anyhow," he said to his sorgeant,
itid, wavinu las hand to mo, ho gave
mo too order 10 ridu on. i was in ior

and any attempt to Hank it would
create suspicion. It was well that I

walked his horse direotly behind ra, so
close that the animal's noso almost
touched my back, but ho did not catch
mo off mv !iiard. When tho sentinel
topteo me 1 handed iiira my namu
and occupation, and m a tew 'minutes
I was in the piesonco of tho oflioor of
Iih Guard. While he asked mo for mv
pass, ho did not seem suspicious, i
was escorted to the quarters of tho of
ficer of tho day, and hore camo a test,
made so carelessly that -it 1 had not
had all mv wits about nn 1 should have
br en lost. As wo reachod tho quarters
i he escort said;
Hero is a di-af and dumb man who
has no pass. Capt. Harsher ordered
him hero from the guard tout.
All riant, replied the othcer, who
was not even liiokiii'" at us; and then,
as Iho escort started off ho half turned
to ino aud said;
"S'and aside for a few minutes and
I will attend to your oaso."
llis tone was bo oareless nt his or
l"r Bo.natural that I ciuoht my mus
oles moving to obey. Hid I picked
up a loot 1 should have given
myself away. As I did not move, ho
pres-ntly turned to mo, seemed surprU
quire about mo. I gave lilm the do

tablet bauk a d lorlh a oiptain came
up. Too officer of tho day said to
him:

with no diifenscs to tpeak of, nnd I got
through them without trouble, though
my goods wero now all gonp, and I
had to claim that I was on my way to

at first contended that ho recognized

as soon as tho corporal had a close

and the captain of the battery, who
was in command, sent mo to Gen.
Wayne, in command of somo
Georgia stato troops. I was not sus
pected of being a Federal spy, but
having been arrested. on a charge, aud
being found without a pass, It was
quite proper to mako a further .investi
gation.
There were several officers in tho
gmeral's tent whon I was takeo in nnd
reported on, and tbo lacts ui my case
had no sooner been announced than
ono of them, who was a surgeon in
Hood s command, held a whispered
consultation with tho general, and I sus
pected n plot to test mo. My suspi
cions soon proved correct. The escort
retirod and left mo Btauding in iront
of tho entrance inside, of course, but
iust where I was in the way of any
one coming or going, me winsporen
consultation lasted about five minutes,
and then tho general casually remark'
cd to me:
Take a seat and I will hear you,
The surceon was looking me full in
tho faco, and had 1 mado tho slightest
raovo he must havo detected me.
Sit downl" commauded the general
in a louder voice.
I was lookiug at his sword hanging
on the tent pole, and I did not turn
my eyes until ho wheeled around in
his chair and beckoned to mo to ap
proach. I handed him my tablet and
peii"il and ho inquired why I had not
a uas8 aud where I wanted to go. I
explained about tho pass as before, and
told him I wanted to go to uaiton or
Home and secure moro goods. Tho
"eueral would havo been quite satis-
litd in five minutes, but tho surgeon
was a keen reader of human nature,
and he was convinced that I was in
disguise. I heard him whisper his
suspicions to others, and their lack of
beliet made mm an tne more determin
ed to expose me. I' had no fear of
any of tho rest, but I realized that it
would take all my nervo and tact to
hold out against tho surgeon. Soma
of the tests he at onco put tne to may.
seem trifles to the reader until ho can
put himself in tho position I oocupied.
Ho rose up suddenly, crossed over to
me, and slipping mo on mo snouiuer
ho exclaimed:
"Let me seo your tonguel

mand.

mand. I was humped over, aud the
words went through mo Uk-) a bullet.
I did not moye, however.
Take youv foot off that sash!
houled the surgeon, but I looked
from him to the general and showed
my wonder.
"(Jjmc, now, but you re beaten,
auched one of the officers, and as the
others had some remark to mako the
surgoon was nettled. Ho looked at
mo fixedly lor a long halt minute, and
then said to his comrades:
"I won't give in yet, general. Please
held ou to him until we are coitain of
htm ono way or the oth-;r."
"Oh, certainly; but 1 think you haye
made a mistake this time. A deaf and
dumb person always has an expression
uot to bo ODUntertuitcd. lie has told
a pretty straight story.
t hat is true; but 1 want to s'udy
him a little more. Ho o aims to have
lost his pass. I want to ask him for
more details, What was tho date'"
He turned and put this qui-stion to
me, and uad l not. ueen looxiug nnoaci
lor it or something of tho kind, my
mouth would have got. away with mo.
lis failure provoked another laugh,
and I wrote on the tablets
"What does tho officer say? Does
he believe I am a desertei?''
"lie says you are deceiving us.''
"I have it hard enough now, with-
ut being looked upon with tidiculo or
suspicion, 1 wrote, and tbo general
nodded his head to mo and said to tho
surgeon:
"I won't keep him longer than noon
to-murrow. 1 bo poor cuss has a hard
row to hoe, and I don't want to (lis.
courage him."
Tli guard was callod; and I was re-

my hand and saidi
"Ahl and they have got you, too!
both of us must die togetherl''
I eigne I to him that I was a deaf

'Dome, no nonsense with mo,
know you, and you will soon know
mo. I have seen you at Shorraan's
hnadnuarlors a dosen times. I am
Jack lnss, a Uniou spy. I waa nr

after a couple of hours he gave it up as

A Business Man's Viawt
John Gardiner, President of tho
Southwestern National Bank of Phila
delphia, puts it this way:
"1 have good reason to believe that
tho passage of tho Prohibition Amend
ment would bo very likely to o3Uso a
stringency in .tho monoy niarket. Just
moK-ui mo situation in mis iigtu.
Fully 8100,000,000 of capital invested
in the brewing business alone wonld be
totally destroyed by this amendment,
and at least as rauoh moro capital
would bo driven out of the stato.
Nearly 300,000 men would bo thrown
out of employment.
"These people and their families
have got to bo supported somo way.
They will bo thrown upon what is al
ready overstocked labor market. This
ovorpltts labor will tend to reduce
wages. It is plain that tho un
employed must pay their taxes or those
employed and tho property ownen, will
bo compelled to pay for them. It
must be remembered, ' too, that those
immense brewing interests help im
mensely to pay taxes and keep down
the tax rate. Most of tho prcaohers
arc in favor of tho amendment. Now
I want to ask this pertinent question:
" 'If tho browing interests aro oblit
erated and the financial resources they
givo to the statu and the various towns
and cities are removed, will the re
ligi iub denominations, who are anxious
,to shut of! this great evil, ho willing to
have their church properties taxed to
make up the real and apparent deficit!'
Forty years ago the teraperanoe people
organized to prohibit the sideboard,
which was then making drunkards in
private houss. There was then, of
course, tho taverns aud inns for the
accommodation of man and beast, but
there wero no saloons exclusively for
tho sale of liquor. The result of the
crusade against tho sideboard was tbo
saloon. The outcome of the prohibi
tion of tho saloon will be the transfer of
the saloon to tho private house. Tho
sideboard will prevail again, and I say
that" tho saloon is a thousand times pre
ferable to tho sideboard."

Liuqor License Transfers..
Chief Justice Paxson, of tho Su-
premi Court, has filed an opinion on
the law regarding tho transfers of
liquor licenses. In tho courso bf his
opinion Judge Paxsou says:
i no net ot 1S87, by which tho issue
of licenses to sell liquor is now regula
ted, makes no roferonuo to transfers,
they aro thoreforo still governed by the
act of April 20, 1858. That aot pro.
vides that 'if tho party licensed shall
die, reraovo or cease to keep suoh
house, his her or their license may bo
iransierroa oy ino autnority granting
the same on compliance with tho re
quisitions of thejlaws in all respects ex
oopt publication, whioh shall not in
such caso bo required, Tho requisi

mitted a oertain discretion to tho
authority granting or refusing licenses,
ana tins uisoreuon now yostod in tho
Couit, though still a legal discretion,
uupeuiiiug on ino law aU'i not on tne
individual opinions of tho Judges, is
considerably enlarged by the aot of
