A BRILLIANT RECEPTION TO THE PKOPLE'B CHOICE. Thfe reception given to e-(3overnor Hen dricks by the Manhattan club in New York last night, fays tho Lancaster Intelligencer of the 13tb, was a splendid demonstration, attended by many of the most prominent leaders of the Democracy in the country. The club bad issued T50 invitations, but the applications from ticketless politicians of all grades were so numerous, and so well backed by influence of one kind or Another, that it is probable more than twice this number enjoyed the hospitalities of the club. Both Gov. Robinson and Mr. Hendricks were received with applause as they passed through the ball ; but it remained fur the advent of Mr. Tilden to kindle Ihe enthu siasm of the assembled Democracy. As he mounted the stairs, leaning on the arm of Augustus Schell, there was first a murmur of applause, and then a loud clapping of hand, which continued until l"tig after he had taken Ins place in the reception room. Vice President VandeipH?l, of the club, called the guests to order, and Ii is pointed remarks in presenting Mr. Tilden were re ceived with the greatest applause and en thusiasm. Mr. Tilden was greeted with the hearties', enthusiasm. He said : ifr. President and Gentlemen of rte Sfanhnt tan Club: I accept youred invitatieu under the idea that tins was to lie a mere!y sorlal meeting, the particular occasion of Which was the presence in this city of Mr. Hen dricks and of Qov. Itobiuson and Lieut-Guv. Ihirsheimer. You are aware, I suppose, that one of yonr guests, Mr. Hendricks, embarks to-niorrow on an excursion to foreign lands, for rest and recreation. He will carry with him, I am sure, our Iwst wishes for a prosperous voy age, for a pleasant visit and a safe return, and for the health and happiness of himself and family. Applause. I have been avail ing myself, for similar purposes, of a brief interval, and find myself now, with some re luctance, drawn away from this privacy to attend this occasion. Hut the occasion itself, and the apparent, general expectation, seem to require that I should say a word in re spect to public affairs, and especially that I should allude to the transact inn whiuh in my judgment is the most portentous event in Ameri'.-au history. A hushed expectancy here restrained the tendency to applause, which was just breaking out wheu Mr. Til den proceeded. Everybody knows that after the recent election the men who were elected by the people as president and vice president, of the United States were "counted out." Hear, heart and applause and men who were not elected were "counted in" and seated. "Hear, hear!" "Yes I Vest" Applause. 1 disdain any thought of the personal wrong done to myself in this transaction. "Hear, heart" (energetically) "Good Good I" Ap plause. Not by any act or word of mine shall this lie dwarfed or degraded into a per sonal grievance, which is in truth the great est wrong that has stained our national an nals. Not one of the four millions and a quarter of American titieens who gave us their votes but experienced a wrong as great and as deep as I. "Morel" Applause. Jiot one of the minority who did not give us their vos, but, in the resulting consequen ces of this act, will share in the mischiefs, if It is not redressed and punished. Ap plause. To every man of the four and a quarter millions who were defrauded ot the fruits of their elective franchise it is an great a wrong as It is to me. And no less to every man of the minority Will the ultimate con sequences extend. Evils in government grow by success and lv impunity. They do not restrain them selves voluntarily. They can uaver be lim ited except by externa! forces. If the men in nossessioti of the government can, in one instance, maintain themselves in power against an adverse decision at the elections, such an example will be iuiitaied. Temptation exists always. Devices to give the color of law, and false pretences on which to found fraudulent decisions, will not be wanting, The wrong will grow into a practice, if condoned -if once condoned. In other countries, in the old world, changes in the succession of governments have usually been the result of Iraud or force. We felicitated ourselves that here, through Ihe skill and patriotism and phil anthropy of onr forefathers, we had estab lished a system of peaceful change through the agency of the ballot box. This is the first time in Americau history that this right of the people has been impaired. It is the first time in American history that anybody has ever pretended that the government of this great country was handed over to auy set of men through fraud. Applause. The qnestion now is whether our elective system, in its substance as well as form, is to be maintained. ., This is the question of qnestions. Until it is flna'.ly settled there can be no politics fon nded on inferior qnestions of adminis trative policy. It involves the fundamental right of the people. It involves the elective principles. If involves ihe whole system of popular government. The people must signally condemn the great wrong which has been done to them. They must strip the example of everything that can attract imitators. They must re fuse a prosperous immunity to crime. This is not all. The peop!e will not be able to trust the authorities or beneficiaries of the wrong to devise remedies. But when those who condemn the wrong shall have the power, they must devise the measare which shall render a repetition of the wrong forever impossible. Applause. If my voice could reach throughout onr country and be heard in its remotest ham let, t would say : "lie of good cheer. The republic will live. The institutions of onr fathers are not to expire in shame. The sovereignty of the people shall be rescned from this peril and reestablished." Ap plause Successful wrong never appears so trium phant as On the very eve of its fall. Seven years ago a corrupt dynasty fulminated in its power over the millien of people who live in the city bf Key York. It had con quered or bribed, or Haltered and won al most everybody into acquiescence. It ap- f reared almost invincible. A year or two ater its members were in the f ehltentiatla or in exile. History abounds lrt similar eio amplea. We must believe in the right and in the future. A great and noble nation will not sever its political from its tnoral life. Mr. Tl!dens address was eagerly listen ed to, and at its close was loudly applaud ed. Then Mr. Hendricks was introduced, and spoke as follows : tJOV. HENbRtCKS' SPEEClt. Gentlemen : I thank you for the honor yon do me. I appreciate it in part as an expres sion of personal respect and confidence, but more as a declaration and assurance of your Support of the principles and policies of Which, in honorable association with yonr distinguished citifcen, I was made a repre sentative in the political contest of last year. I beg to assure yott that I appreciate the honor yon show me the more highly liecause of your devotion to the political principles which experience has shown to be essential to the expression of good and pure govern ment and the prosperity of the people. Very earnestly the Democrats of this great city And State, as also of Indiana and the other States, contended for and demanded a resto ration of local self government in all the States where it bad lieen denied. They in sisted upon a reduction throughout the en tire public service and expenditures, not by hundreds, nor yet by thousands, but by many millions annually. Therein was involved also a great reduction of the vast army of office-holders, ami the substitution of honest for dishonest administration. Contending for results so notably right and honorable, their cause was grand and their victory glo rious. I will not disturb the pleasure of this occasion by undertaking to recount the means whereby the will aud judgment of the people were defeated. The result, as declared in Louisiana, and in Florida, and at Washington, Is not and cannot he made satisfactory to the country, for the obvious reason that it was uot true. A great and sincere people will rest their final judgment only upon ruth, and neVet upon fraud suc cessful through technicality. Even should the President and his cabinet adopt a part or the whole of the policies and purposes for which the Democratic party has hnen Con tending for many years, and which became so distinctly defined last year even that cannot remove or quiet the public discon tent. The Democrats will make no factious opposition, nor will they seek to embarrass the di fucto administration, but will sustain it in what is right, because it is right and for the welfare nf the country, and not at all liecause of any fealty to the party that stands defeated and condemned by the people. The people cannot allow the select iou of their chief magist rate to become a thing of chance or of sharp practice. The "fraud first, tri umphant in American history" must be as signed to its proper place among the crimes against popular gouernment, and made so odious that no party Will dare to attempt i:s repetition. He who is elected President must he InAugnrAte-l. TJutil that is settled and made sure nu Democrat can be seduced from his devotion and allegiance in any way, not hy the allurements of office, nor even by the strong appeal in the abandonment by the administration of vicious principles and dangerous policies, anil the adoption of let ter doctrines aud just measures. Democrats will not intrust their most cherished princi ples to the keeping of power which is at tained by vicious ami corrupt means. They will the rather continue their faith in the ril;t of the majority to rule in accordance with constitutional provisions. All Demo crats rejoice with nutioutided joy that free republican governments are once more al lowed to the states of Sontb Carolina aud Louisiana. They rejoice in the good fruits that must follow. They know that peace ami good order will prevail ; that capital will be made secure, and laUir sale, content ed and happy ; that, enterprise will revive, and the cruel burdens of the government and public corruption will be lifted from the shoulders of labor ; and that production will increase and lauds ad Vance in price. Hut they know that, in the language of Gov. Morton, it had become "inevitable." Good government in the state was not a free-will ottering upon the altars of the country. For years the Democrats bad contended In Congress and before the peo ple for free republican states throitgltout the South, and finally it became "inevita ble," because the right and trnth were too strong to be longer suppressed. In this Democrats find a reason to stand more firmly with their party. Out of power, with no patronage to dispense and money to distribute, but animated by the spirit of ottr institutions, and inspired by the senti- ) mem ot the right 01 sen-government as in herent in the people, the Democratic party during the past ten years has restored one state after anoter, nntil now the tread of the soldier is heard in no legislative hall, but In every state the people are governed by laws of their own enacting and by offi cers of tbr own choosing. My fellow citiKens, my home is in the West, and my associations bave been with the people of that section. Among yon I am, personally, almost a stranger, yet I am received by you with open arms and coniial greetings. 5fed I say that I am gratified because of this fact? It has more than a personal significance. Does it not proclaim that we entertain no sectional policies? Some may think we should havean Eartern policy, aud others that it shonld be Western', but it seems to me that a New Yorker and an Indlftnlsn should understand it better than that, and that or legislative and ad ministrative policy should be As broad and comprehensive as the industries and trade and commerce which ittnay affect. Does the trade of the great cities of the Atlantic stop wiih the mountains? Does it not reach beyond the Mississippi and across the Mis souri? Every new home that is built upon that receding border ; every new farm that is made far out eveu within the shadow of the Roeky mountains; and every additional bale of co'tou that is produced in Louisiana, and Texas ad I something to the greatness and wealth of New York and Boston and Philadelphia and Baltimore. Is there a New Yorker who, as he walks up and down this irreat Broad wav. hears and feels wtily the throbbing of a local commerce 7 Let snch J a man break over the narrow bounds and j habits of hia life, and Visit the great, cotton ; and grain-growing regions, nor let him stop . until he bears the waves of the Pacific dash- 1 lng against the golden shores ot California, and he Will be able better to understand and appreciate the magnitude and coropll cated relations of tbe interests which are affected by the financial and commercial policy of the country. Successful enter prise and development in remote parts of the country are as certainly and almost as directly connected with the prosperity of this city as are permanent and valuable ira- Frovements upon yonr more distant streets, have said this under tbe influence of the steniiment thfttt in respect to production and trade, the East and the West and the South are one ; and that a wise And just policy will alike, and almost equally, promote the prosperity of each, if your judgment should be as comprehensive as the influence of your commerce, aud as far-reaching as the dis tant lines of your trade. I have but one word more to say. The outrage that has been perpetrated is an outrage upon the rights of the people, not upon me, not upon Gov. Tilden, except as we are citieens or the country. The people have beeu outraged by the denial lo them of the right to select their own public offi cers according to the laws and the constitu tion. That act will work out, as has been suggested, its own redress, t have no fear of the future. Even if the administration shall adopt Democratic principles, and fol low a policy based upon those principles, it can never gaiu the confidence and heart of the American people; Applause. Itwill never do, when a man has taken land which belongs to another man by a title not good, aud holds it it will never do to say that the man who holds the land wrongfully should have it, liecause be would cultivate it better than the true owner would have done. Before W-e reach that question, we will decide who owns the land. I say this, not liecause Gov. Tilden lias been wronged, but because the voice of the American people has been denied, when that voice was spoken According to the con stitution of the United States. But I fear not the result. As t have already said, a great and sincere people will pass their final verdict upon tbe outrageous act. Demo cratic principles w ill be carried out by Dem ocrats, aud by such fair mined Republicans as will not make themselves a party to the wrong done last winter. This will be ac coniplished in 1880 by the majority of voters in the several states, and I venture to say that that majority will lie surprising to all parties. I think I may say of 1880, as I said in 1070, that Indiana will again do her duty. Tioud applause. " Speeches were also made by Governor Robinson, Lieut. Gov. Doreheinier, aud David Dudley Field. At the conclusion of the speeches the members and gttests of the clnb scattered about in small gtoups and engaged in so cial intercourse. Mr. Tildon and ex-Gov-llendricks held an informal levee, and such persons as bad never enjoyed the privilege before were permitted to shake the hands of 'onr president and vice-president-elect," as they were invariably introduced. After the collation, which was partaken of without speech making, the Young Men's Democratic club, accom panied by Grafulla's band, reached the club-house aud serenaded the distinguished quests. Both Mr. Tilden and Heudricks responded with brief addresses. At the oonclusiouTf Governor Hendricks remarks, lliree cheers and a tiger weie given fW"the president and vice-presidentelect." Gov, Robinson, Lieut. Gov. Dorsheimer, E. C. Cleveland, of Connecti cut, R. T. Merrick, of Washington, and others made brief speeches, and it was af ter midnight before tbe baud readied the Fifth avenue hotel, where a serenade to Mrs. Hendricks closed tbe night's festivi ties. TCnKS or the Law. I find in my bud get of scraps an extract from a speech de livered, some twenty years ago, iu the Wis consin Legislature, by Hon. Mr. Elmore. One of my office boys, who had been en gaged as a legislative repot ter at the time, gave it to me, and assured me it was cor rect. The subject under discussion was a bill on the abolition of certain l iws for the collection of debts. Mr. Elmore said he had had a little ex perience in tbe law, some of wbicb had been decidedly rich. He would give one instance. About Gfteen years before, he bad purchased a yoke of oxen, and pai(l fifty dollars for them. A few days there after a son of the man of whom he had pur chased came to bim and claimed that the oxen were his, and insisted OU having pay over again, which being refused, he brought suit in court. The Jury didn't agree but at length, throngh blunders of the Brush wood justice of the peace, tbe case went against bim. "I appealed to the circuit court of Mil waukee," said he, "and there I lost again. Said I to my lawyer : I will give you ten dollars to quote Pennsylvania law to Judge Miller, making him think it's Wisconsin law, and have a new trial ordered.' He took the fee, and performed the duty. A new trial was granted, and tenue changed to Walworth county. Judge Irwin was on the bench. Any man who would gain a cause in his court must either go hunting with him, and let him claim all the game shot, or pet bis dog. Well, I petted the dog. I fed him with crackers. Tbe case was decided in my favor. When I beard the decision, I concluded that dog bad hung around me about long enough, and as he happened at the momeut to be sniffing at my ptickets, I gave him a kick. The dog yelped lustily, and when his yelping bad subsided I heard the judge say : " 'Mr. Clark, this Judgment is set aside, and a new trial granted. "Mr. Speaker, and fellow sufferers in the kinks of the law, that kick cost me two huudred dollars I" Cheap Girls. A girl who makes her self too cheap is one to be avoided. No young man, not even the worst, excepting for a baso purpose, wants anything to do with a cheap young lady. For a wife none but a fool or rascal will approach such a woman. Cheap jewelry nobitdy will touch if be can .get any belter. Cheap girls are nothing but the refuse ; and the young men know it, and they will look in every other direction for a life long friend and com panion before they will give a glance at the pinchbeck stuff that tinkles at every turn for fascinating the eye of any that will look. Ydu think it quite the "correct thing" to talk loudly and coarsely, be boisterous and and hoydeuish in all public places ; to make yourself so bold and forward and common place, everywhere, that people wonder if you ever had a mother or borne, or any thing to do. So be it. You will probably be taken for what you are worth, and one of these years, if you do not make worse than a shipwreck of yourself, you will begin to wonder where the charms are that once you thought yourself possessed of, and what evil spirit could bave so befooled you.

SCPERStlTIOSS OF THE ISDIASS. tfp and down that valley through which Custer made his last charge along that Creek where so many of Reno's men fell dead from their frantic and struggling horses in the thickets and along the ra vines, a shadow lui ks day and night. The last scalp had hardly been torn from the head of the cavalrymen who bad crept into the tall grass to din, when this shadow skulked into that valley of death aud be gan dealing out retribution. Tbe chief, Dull Knife, bad much to say about iu-tlie other week, when be surren dered. He spoke in whispers when be re ferred to it suddenly, and he looked around, as if fearful that it was softly stealing upou him lo s'ab him in the back. Cray Horse's men htd something to say about it when thv surrendered, and when white men asked them who or what they thought the Shadow was, they shook their beads and whispered I "We killed 'era all, but there is one left! It is a white main Theie is blod on bis face and clothing. He Carries a saler and two le vol vers, and the night wind blows his long, yellow cutis over bis slmulde.s. It is a spirit sent by the great Mauitott to watch over the graves of the hite sol diers I" , White men have seen the shadow. Hun- : ters, trappers and scouts, whohavc built their camp fires near that valley, through which the big mountain wolf skulks and prowls all night long, have felt Ihe presence ! of the mysterious shadow or bave seen it. They have fled from their blankets at its soft step, and they have tired at it when ' ouly ten feet away, aud yet seen It glide off uuharmed. It is not a shadow of sentiment, but a be- ! ing which demands vengeance for the aw fill butchery of the little band of heroes for tbe brave brothers who grouped themselves around the noble Custer and fought to the death, each one lying within arm's length of him who fought fiercest and longest. . Whetijthe'soldiers moved ut oftbe valley. leaving nearly three hundred grnves behind them, the wolves rushed out from canon and ravine and den to dig up the fresh earth and feast on the brave dead. The shadow was there before them a solitary . and Vigilant sentinel to guaid those sa cred mounds. It screamed aud gestured at the fierce beasts it fired upon them ; with rifle and revolver, and struck At them ' wiih a bright, keen saber. The wolves ran here and there, from grave to gtave, gnash- : ing their teeth in anger, but the shadow : closely pursued. They foiraed in trroups : in the midnight darkness, and waited for the shadow to tire out, but it paced up and down over the graves, vigilant and un wearied, aud daylight came to hurry the wild beasts to their lairs till another night. 1 Hunters and scouts have been there and seen the sentinel beat over the graves seen it in the light of noonday, w lien men cm Id not be mistaken. It is a well beaten path, which runs from grave to grave, curving aud winding to take in eveiy one, aud now and then it comes close to the creek for the strange sentinel to bear the babblo of the waters. Scouts say it is a path beaten by human feet. The red chiefs say that a shadow or spirit Could alone remain there in that lonely spot, hav ing only the company of wild beasts aud the graves of butchered men. Once, when Dull Knife and a trusty few were scouting to learn the wheieabonta of their white fites they encamped in the val ley for the night. The shadow stole among them as they slept, and When a fierce scream aroused the band from slumber five j of the red men bad been murdered each bronze throat slashed across with a keen knife. The shadow stood a little ways off and jeered and mocked the living, who huddled together like frightened children. When they fled for their lives it pursued them with drawn saber, and the chief has a soar on bis shoulder to prove that be was struck by the blade. Next day when a full band of Indians marched into the val ley to Solve the mystery and secure revenge they saw no living thing. The bodies of the warriors were cut and backed and gashed. Five of the poor cavalrymen whose brains had beeu beaten nt and limbs dismembered had been avenged. Before the crown of a single giave had sunk down Craey Horse started to cross tbe valley at midnight with his lodges. The shadow confronted his band and mocked them, and as the red men hurried along in the darkness, vividly recalling the mad charge of the cavalry and the fieice desper ation of the surptiscd villagers Hie strange shadow skulked along with the column and tired shot after shot into the band. They fired at it, and pushed out to captuie it, but the shadow disappeared as shadow s do. Two squaws, a child or two, an old man, and two warriors fell by the bullets the shadow fired. From that time the red men avoided the valley as white tnen avoid pest bouses. They would not cross it or . skirt it. even at high noon, when the sun- . shine beat down upon the graves aud on the waters of the historic creek. IT the shadow was a shadow a mist, a nothing it could not beat paths, nor laugh and jeer, nor cut throats and fire i ifk-s ; aud yet, if it was not a shadow, how des it live? Is it. some crazy hunter, whose befogged mind darkened iu tbe t-tory of the awful massacre and conceived lira wild plan of vengeance ? Perhaps one of that little band of cavalrymen escaped death in some strange way and rcovetcd his strength as he wandered about among the rocks and valleys and hills recovered strength of limb and not of reason. Be lieving himself called upon to avenge bis comrades, be links in the valley, living like the wild beasts around bim, aud missing no chance to strike a blow. It is not a month since two army scouts Crossed the lonely haunt, and baited long enough to see that the graves had not been disturbed. They saw the path of the sen tinal leading from grave to grave. They saw the skeletons of the red men slain by the shadow. They were leaving the val- , ley when their ears were greeted by a mocking laugh, and from a bed of tank grass and dry weeds a quarter of a mile away they saw the shadow beckoning thera to come forward. The shadow seemed to be a man a gaunt, long-haired human be ing, dressed in rags, which had once been an army uniform. It held up in the air and shook at them a carbine and a saber, and wheu they galloped away it sent a leaden ball whistling pa.t Ibeir beads. A jivx roit L,iri: A THRILLING STORY OF A CONFF-DnRAI LIEUTENANT'S ADVF.MVKE, The Frank Stringfellow whose adven ture is described in this extract has, sine tbe war, entered the ministry in tbe Pi testant Episcopal Church. He was Geo, Jeb Stuait's favorite servant, Eo. The second adventure whiHi I liar? promised to relate occurred when the Fed eral army occupied Culpepper Court Hons-', and the Confederate army lay iu Oianp,- county, Virginia. General IjOC desired cei tain information which it seeropti fonM best be obtained by an individual scout, anl Sttingfellow was selected for the seivio-. It was necessary be should penetrate thr enemy's camps, remain Concealed as ton;' as possible, and return wbrn be bad col lected the desired information. HiS OtHT ntions were to be conducted mostly at night. He wished to be accompanied bv two men, one of whom, Fariisli by name, had his home in the immediate vicinity of the enemy's camps, and being intiniatelj acquainted with all the country, could ac curately guide bim from pliice to place in the night us by day light. The cxjeditioii was undertaken on foot, as the distance was ti'it great, and concealment was of prime importance. The men were clad iu their own unifoim as scouts, not spies. The countty was a diflicult one for the op erations of a scout. From the long and frequent ccup.iti'n by both the contend ing armies the land had been almost fn tirely denuded of its timber, ai.d only beio and there a few thin clusters of frees re mained standing. One day had passed since they had entered the ericnij's lines, and with nightfall they commenced their wanderings among the hostile campr, main ly with the iurpse of lcatitig the differ ent corps and of ascertaining whether any troops had Wen detached from tbe Army of the Potomac. The night bad brn nearly consumed in this way, when retell ing one of the clustets of trees, of which I have siMikcn, they laid themselves H(,wn to catch a few moments' rest. A r.iiigld blanket coveted the three men. Trclrher ous, fatal sleep 1 Their fatigue v-.-.m greater and the night was further spent than they had supMted, and the sun was shining blight in their -j-es. when a party of six: Federal soldiers, with their muskets in their bands pulled away the blanket which covered them, and saluted them with a bu humorous "Gxwt morning, Johnny lb b I Wake up !" Stringfellow, lying ujwui Ins back, was the first to arouse and to com prehend the situation. Knowing that ail ocn attempt to seize bis arms would draw upon himself instant death, be feigned to be only half awaker.ed, and much to the amusement of his tot mentors turned upon his side, muttered and grumbled at leing awakened, telling them to gt away and let bim alone. But by tinning iijmiii his side be gave to himself the oppottitnity of plac ing his baud, unobserved, upon the hatidla of bis pistol, and in Another second l,e sprang upon bis f-et and opened fiie. Hi3 companions joined in the attack, and for a few moments tbe firir2 wns raj-id and fatal. The Federal soldiers slr'od their ground, bnl at such close quarters !!)? musket was no match for the revolver. Thiewas nn time to reload under the quick eye of Sir'ngfellow, and once discharged the mass kels were useless. A few seconds termin ated the encounter, in which Sti ingfellow found himself the sole survivor of his paity. Fairish was killed ; bis other coin ip.de !! disappeared, he knew not bow ; four of the Federal soldiers lay dead nt his feet : and the two others, having thrown down their empty guns were running for their lives. A Rl'S FOR I.1FE- Bttt though victor in this f.ght, perils multiplied themselves around bim. The tifes among which he stoorl were surround ed on every side by open fields dotted quite thick with tbe enemy's tents, some close at baud. Concealment was quite imjssU ble, and be must i nn for b is life ; but run in what direction be might, enemies would ba sine to Intercept bis course, for th adja cent camps bad been aroused by the tiring, and the soldie.-s who bad esctped would be sure to return with others to avenge the death of theircomrades. At a distance of a few hundred yards a little branch made its way through the ojen fivlds u.waid the liver. Its banks were fringed with bushes and while it off-red only an ulteily forlorn hope, Stringfellow tut tied toward it and ran. He was seen by those who had al ready started for his captuie ; hvh to cross theoj.en field seen to enter the bush on the bank of the stream. And now vindic tive shouts announced that the enemy felt secure of their prey. But uot sol Enter ing the bed of the sneam, a kind Provi dence guided him to a spot where the waters had hollowed out for him a hidiejj place, behind the roots of an old stump. Underneath the bank and behind those roots be forced bis body, having hastily Collected what diiftwtMui was within reach still further to conceal his prison ; and there he lny. half covet id with the water and mud. and awaited the result. From every diiect i'.ii nit-n were hurry ing to the s;it with ihe j-.frct assurance? that the dating enemy would soon le with in their power. For long, long houis d-.I scot es of searchers continue to exatnn e every foot of the bru-b that lined tbe stream. Many times did host lie feet pass directly over St i ingfellow's body, and once a man. more inquisitive than the other Stopped, while walking in the tcd of the stitatn, to examine the veiy sjva wheie l.e lay. But the diifi wood which be bad skill fully arranged for his concealment deceived the man, and he passed on without mak ing the discovery. Toward afternoon he search slackened, and by nightfall it was abandoned. Hut not until the noise of the camps w s hushed in slumber did Stting fellow dare to leave his icticat. Then fol lowing for some time he course f the stream, he passed in safety out of tTe enemy's line, swam the Rapidan letwecn the pickets, and. thankful to God for hide liveiatice, found himself once more among bis friends.
