was drossod In citizen's clothes, pretended
to be (leaf and dumb, and claimed to have
been driven out of Klclmioml, because
had written threatening letters to Jeffer
son Davis.
I had been Inside the fortifications for
half a day, and was slowly walking out,
when a couple of young men, both of
whom were cousldernbly the wotse for
liquor, halted mc aud wanted to tight. I
had a pencil and a block of paper with mc,
and I wrote:
"I am deaf and dumb."
That made no difference with them. In
dead, they declared that It would bo a
novel Idea to lick a dcat and dumb man,
and one of them gavo me a cuff on tho
ear.
In those days I weighed ICO pounds and
had the musclo of a prize fighter. I tried
to get away from thera without further
trouble, but when they seemed determined
to have a row I gavo them all they wanted,
and wasn't many minutes about It. A
crowd of soldiers and civilians collected,
the proyost guard came up, and tho result
was at I had anticipated. I was arrested
and carried off to a guard-house. One of
tho young men, who afterward turned out
to bo related to a member of the cabinet,
followed mo to the ofllco of the proyost
marshal and charged me with being a spy.
No one seemed to entertain a doubt that I
was deaf and dumb, as I claimed, and ray
examination was carried on in writing. I
was asked my name, age, when born
and a hundred othor questions, and then
searched. They found nothing on me of a
criminating nature, and I reasoned that I
would be detalnod until after tho excite
ment had passed and then turned loose.
NEARLY THROWN OFF HIS GUARD.
After being detained three days an
officer entered my quarters one morning
and said to mc:
"Well, dummy, you cau pack up and get
out."
Tho mlnuto I heard his step outside I
was on my guard, but lie spoko In such a
natural tone that I came near giving my
self away. On three different occasions
during the war I played the part of a deaf
and dumb man, and I tell you it takei all
the nervo and presence of mind a man van
call up. I sal facing tho door, and, while
I heard his' words, I made no muveiiieut.
He came closer to me and said:
"Couie, pack up vour traps you are to
ba turned loose."
I looked him straight in the eyes without
winking, and aftor a bit a look of chagrin
stole over his face and he motioned for mo
to follow him. He took me to the provost
marshal's office, and I was ushered Into a
private room where tho marshal an J three
or four other officials were seated. On the
way to the ofSca.as.we crossed a wide street
the officer suddenly exclaimed:
"There's a runaway horse lcok out!'
If I hadn't been expecting soma such
thing on his part I must haye betrayed ray
self. As I gavo no sign, continuing on
with my head down, I heard him growl
lng;
"They think they'ye got a sucker, but
they'll find out their mistake!'
I entered tho office, knowing that every
trick would ' be resorted to to break me
down, and my nerves wore braced as if to
charge a battery of artillery. I was left
standing by the door for a moment, when
one of the officials looked op and quietly
said
"Takes seat, sir, and we'll attend to you
In a moment."
I made no move, but looked around the
room In a stupid sort of way,. I was look-
lng out of the window on to a roof when
tha same official said
"You raay come forward and take this
chair."
I stood Ilka a s.tone, and bo rote up,came
over to me, and led me to a cbalr at the
table. JVTien I was seated one of the otb
in remarked:
"TFrlte your name, age and last place of
residence on a slip of paper."
That was trick number three, and It failed
as th others had dons. By and by the
jaarsbal wroto on a slip of paper:
"Who are you, and whera from?"
I wrote In reply, "I ant Charles Jones,
Itlahmond."
"But you aro a Union uiau?" sagetd
caa of tha officers aloud.
I saw his lips move, bat hD got no sign
froso. me, Th examination continued in
lots saanntr for a full hour, the men using
very trtlflc to trap uis, but they failed to
Kort a slog! point. I knew tbr would

was thrvore ntrvnd up for It. At length

Then ho turned to me. carelessly as you
please, and salU:
'Go with tho omcer,"
It was lliclr last shot. I never moved a
mujelo until the officer approached and
placed his hand on mc. I was taken back
to the gu:mlriimMe, kept a pilsoner for an
other week, and then the disgusted mar
shal turned me loose In tho streets.
A. Strange Case.
During the many weeks that Early and
Sh'irrain fncoj each other along tho Onc
qnan, says ' 'Ex-Rebel" In the Detroit Free
l't-ess, I was a high private in a Confeder
ate Infantry regiment. About two woeks
previous to the battlo which- drove us be
yond Winchester, my company was ordered
to the fronUo do picket duty along a cer
tain line. Sheridan was even then becom
ing aggresslye, and his pickets were crowd
ing us all along tho front. At tho spol
where I relieved the old picket tho Feder
als occupied a post not over len-rods away,
and dining tha daytime the conversation
would run about as follows:
"Hello! Johnny!"
"IIcllo! Yank!"
"How long are you going to be thirs?"
"All winter."
"Hot you ten to one!"
"Why?"
" 'Ciuso we are going to drive vou out
In a few days. Iletter get your knapsacks
packdd."
"You bo hanged."
"Seo if we don't do it."
I went on at 10 o'elock at night, and my
orders were very strict. It was a starlight
night, imd between mc nnd the Yankee
picket was open ground a portion of an
old field. A dog couldn't cross It without
bflng discovered. I' was not to glvo an
alarm unless convinced that tho enemy
was pieparlng for somo move, and I was
not to fire my musket except inoro than
one person was seen advancing across the
field. So suro as ono single musket was
Ul -charged the fire would run up and down
ho'-h lines for a mile or so, and the reliefs
would be turned out nnd a hubbub be
raised which could not be quieted for an
hour.
It was a very still night. The whlppoor-
w!lls were singing along the Opequan, ami
from evory bunch 'of grass came the notes
of katydids and crickets. At about 11 o'
clock, while I sat for a moment on a fallen
log, looking straight across tho field, a man
suddenly stepped nut of the cover of the
woods on the far side and began advanclns
towards me. I caught the shluo of the
starlight on his musket at once, and Im
mediately made up'my mind that he was a
Federal picket. Indeed, who else could he
be? He was exactly opposite me, and he
advanced ata slow and measured pacewllh
his musket ata "carry."
As soon as the man stepped out I spran,
up. I had been ordered not to fire on
single person advancing, but what coul
he mean by exposing himself in this reck
Ipss manner? Our pickets were so closo to
gether that ho must bo under tho eyes of at
least three of us. If It was a bravado I
had never iccu case like it. If he meant
to desert his colors his coolness was some
thing unparalleled.
On he came, straight at me, never turn
ing his head nor hesitating for ifuiotiient,
aud in flvocmlnutcs he came to a halt so
near that I could havo pr&ddcd him will
the bayonet. I was just about to addresi
him, demanding his surrender, when he
placed his muskiit against a tree, folded
his aruisacross his breast, leatieJ up against
beech aud stared Into tho darkness over
my head. Five long minutes he stood
there without making a movement, but
heard him sigh as though there was great
trouble, on his mind.
I was standing iu-my tracks, too dum-
founded for action, when the picket to ll
eft of mo c.uno crenping up on his hand:
and knees, aud as hereto up beside thelo:
sat down so that we could consult,
"What on earth can all thai man?'1 I
ajked. "Ho U nellhor a scout uor a de-
urler."
H'alt and watch him," whlsprred my
couinauion. ,
In :i few uilnuti'S the Federal took a
Lttu- from Ills-ureas', pocket, removed It
from the envelope, and opened the sheet
as If reading It. It was so dark tint he
could' not hayo mado out the letters ou a
circus bill, but he seemed to read every
word In that letter. IFhcn he had finished
It ho placed the envelope In his pocket.but
the letter fluttered lo the crouud. He
sighed heavily, made asouud as If sobbing.
and by and by, with a groan of anculsh
which went straight to our hearts, he picked
up his musket and walked slowly back
across the open ground
"What do you think?" I asked wnouwe
had finally lost sight of him.
no is a sieep-wamer," answered my
friend.
I made up my mind that this was the
case. The letter was secured, to be per
usea uy us when daylight came, and we
saw nothing more of the man on our
watch.
The epistle was from d far-away villi ge
in aorthern Ohio, and H read
" God pity us! Both children
died yesteidayl The last words tbey ut
tered were to ask for papa. It seems as If
I could never stand up under thls.aadwbat
must your feelings be?'
There was more, but wo could not read
It. That letter, belonging to an enemy.
was sacred in our eyes.
I was there again at the tame hour the
next nleht, and half arrhonr before mid
nlgM tho man started to come to the same
spot. He haa no musket with him this
time, and his movements showed that be
waswlde awake. Ho came crouching and
hiding, as If to escape observation, and was
half way across the open a Held when
stream of fire darted out from his own
side, and the fellow sprang into the air
with a scream aud fell ditad. He was com
of lng for his Utter, being guided by some im
durluoJ Instinct toward the exact spot, ami
had probably ben mistaken by an cited
picket for a ttunfoderate cieoolng the other
J way. All next day ih body Uy there In
; plain vinw, bat at night his friend re-
movod it, and us heard afterward from a
prlsonor that lby discovered and lataented
tbelr error.
I have the Utter vet. aud I never read

without taklnj ll teuderly lo my hand and

TUUE 1UIII8TEADE.
I was in a quite serious wreck on tho
A'orthwestern Road, in Dakota, the other
day, nnd witnessed a llttlo scene which
makes me never want to be-in another.
No one was killed, but ono man was
caught between two cars which were.
partially telescoped, and, it seemed, hope
lessly crushed. The train men and passen
gers worked hciolcally to rescue him. It
was bitter cold. Tho man was caught in
such a way that he could not speak If, in-
leeil, he had strength enough to speak.
It seemed as If any number of his bones
must bo broken, and it proved that several
were. After a long struggle ho was at
last released nnd carried a little to one stdo
and laid on a snow-bank, just as the cars
took fire and began to burn fiercely. All
crowded round the sufferer.
'Is ho dead?" whispered half a dozen,
earnestly.
"Ye," said some one.
"No," said the conductor. ,
"Hold his head higher," said ono.
"Ills pulso beats," said the conductor,
who knelt bcsldo him. "Yes, and he
breathes."
"Bringan overcoat," said another.
Tho man opened his eyes and stared
around.
If ho Isn't hurt Internally he'll live
through It," said one man.
Can yon speak? Are you In pain?
What shall we do for you?" asked the
conductor.
'i lie overcoat was brought, but the man
waved It away with feeble motion of his
hand; then his lips. opened.
"I I don't care for it," he said with
an effort: "raiso mo up,"
The conductor lifted him Into a sitting
posture. As he did so the man with
difficulty reached In his pocket and drew
out an oblong, square-cornered, pack
age.
Don't worry about me," ho said slowly,
recovering his voice, as ho undid tho pack
age. "Don't give yourselves any unensl
ness on my account, but Just give mo your
attention, for a moment, as I am very glad
