Dress the Hair
"With Ayer's Hair Vigor. Its cleanli
ness, beneficial effects on tbo scalp, and
lasting perfume commend it for uni
versal toilet use. It keeps the hair soft
and silken, preserves its color, prevents It
from falling, and, If tho hair has become
weak or thin, promotes a new growth.
"To restore tbe original color ot my
hair, which bad turned prematurely
gray, I used Ayer's Hair Vigor with en
tire access. I cheerfully testify to tbe
Efficacy
of this preparation." Mrs. P. H. David
ton, Alexandria, La. "y
"I was afflicted some three years with
Bcalp disease. My hair was falling out
and what remained turned gray. 1 was
Induced to try Ayer's Hair Vigor, and
in a few weeks the disease in my scalp
disappeared and my balr resumed ita
original color." (Bov. 8. 8. 81ms,
Pastor TJ. 13. Church, St. uernico, Ind.
"A few yoars ago I suffered the entire
loss of my balr front tho effects ot tetter.
I hoped that after a time naturo would
repair the loss, but I waited In vain.
Many remedies were suggested, none,
however, with such proof of merit as
Ayer's Hair Vigor, and I began to use it.
The result was all I could havo desired.
A growth of hair soon came out all over
my head, and grew to be as sott and
heavy as I ever had, and ot a natural
color, and .tfrmty ." J. H. Pratt,

ANDERSONVILLB PRISON.
I'ome, friends nnd followioldlors,
Come, listen to my sons
About the rebel prisons
That we endured so Ionic.
Our wretched slate and hardships ri eat
No ohe can understand
Hut tfiose who have endured this fute
Iu Dixie's i sunny land.
When captured by the clilutr),
Aud stripped unto the skin,
They fi'd to give us buck again
The value of a pin,
Kxeept somo filthy rag or grnuw,
Dlicarded by tbclr baud)
Anil thus commenced our prison life
in DKIe's sunny land.
A bust of guards smiounded u,
Kacli ono with loaded suit.
Wo wete stationed tn n open held,
Kx posed lo rain nnd sun;
No lent or tree to shelter us.
We lay upon the mi ml;
Aad side by side ereat numbers died
In Dixie's tunny Inm!.
What was our dally bill of fare
In that secesh saloon?
No sugar, ta or coffco there
Al morning, night or noon.
Hut n pint ot meal, ground cob and all,
Waiatlw e could command;
And for want of nro we ato It raw
In Dixie's sunny laud.
Our temper was full often tried
By many a threat and bribe
Our glorious Union to desert.
And Join the rebel tribe,
But though we longed to lent e the place,
We let them understand
We'd sooner ille then thus disgrace
Our flag lu Dixie's land.
How sad thoso weary moments seemed,
How long each dreary day I
And yet no tidings came to us
From loved ones far away,
While hear we lay, to starve and die
Upon tho burning sand,
Afar from homo and friends so dear,
In Dixie's sunny land.
We landed ot Annapolis,
A wretched looking band,
Ilut glad to be allvoand free
From Dixlo's sunny land;
And having gained our wasted strength,
Again In Union blue.

THK SPV ON NEUTRAL OROUMI).
Copyrightei, 1888, by Funk & Wagnnlln.
Soon after the publication of my Pictori
al Field book of tbe llcvolutlon I le
celveil a note from tho eminent physician
and scholar, the lato Ir. John IK. Francis,
saying:
"Coma to my house this evening and
maot an old friend of mlno who wishes to
see you and tell you something aboul Enoch
Crosby."
I was Introduced to ilr. M , a vener
able gentleman, who said he had read my
work with much Interest, for In'hls young
manhood he had known some men and
women of the Revolution. "Indeed," ho
said, '1 was one of the boys of the period,
for I was born In 1770 and am eighty-two
years old."
I thankcd.hlm for his kind Intentions to
give me trustworthy information about
Enoch Crosby, who appears almost like a
myth in history and romance.
"Lobservc," he said, "that In writing of
Enoch Crosby as the original of Harvey
Birch, of Cooper's novel 'The Spy,' you al
lude to doubts haying been cast upon that
Identity. I will tell you what I know about
Enoch Crosby, personally and from my
father, who was his neighbor and friend.
Why, 1 have no more doubt of Euoch
Crosby belin? the original of Harvey liircb
than 1 havo of aiy own existence. Captain
Datnum's llttlo book, to which you allude,
I believe to be true; eyery word of it, sir."
"Uut JXr, Cooper makes n. declaration
that puzzles me," I replied. "In the sum
mer of 1650 I wrote to Sit. Cooper and in
quired about the trustwoitlness of Bar
nutn's narrative To my surprise he re
plied that he had never seen the book,
though It had been dedicated to him al
most a quarter of a century before; also,
that ho never heard the namo of Enos Cros
by uttered before he wrote "The Spy,' in
1820, nor since, until It was coupled with
his Harvey Birch. He referred me to tlie
Introduction of the reylsed edition of 'The
Spy,' then recently published.
I have read that introduction," said
Jfr. M , and It confutes my conviction
of the Identity of Harvey Birch and Enoch
Crosby. Ho tells us as plainly as if he had
spoken tlui words, that John Jay, who was
Chairman ot the Committee of Safety, re
lated the 'anecdote' to which he refers.
Jay was, of course, In honor bound not to
mention the name of the secret agent he
had employed, for the character of a spy ls
held to be disreputable, though It may be
a patriotic one."
"Did you know Enoch Crosby personal
ly?" I inquired.
"Vcs. We resided near the Westchester
and Putnam county line, not tar from the
Crosby homestead, where the patriotic
hero dwelt. His wife was a distant rela
tion of my father, and Crosby yislted us
frequently when I was a young man. 1
was always delighted by listening to his
sterlesof adventure durlujc the war, as
glyen long years afterward by Captain Bar-
num. When l was more man iui jears
of age, In business Iu the city, I read
Cooucr's Spy aloud to my aged father, at
my house, and we continually lemarked
Harvey Birch resembled Enoch Crosby so
much!' And when Captain Itanium s
book was published we recognized a truth
ful record of many of the Incidents In tho
career of Crosby which we hail heard from
his own lips."
I distinctly remember," continued Mr.
M , "that while on a visit wltb my
father at his country home, soon after Bar-
num's little book appeared, I rode with
him to Bedfoid to see Mr. Jay on some
business. It was a beautiful spring day.
We found the venerable statesmac sitting
on the piazza ot bis pleasant mansion near
a budding wisteria vine. He knew my
lather well. In the course ot their con
versation my father referred to Bamum's
book. Mr. Jay bad not seen It. When
my father observed that 'It made the then
venerable Enoch Crosby the reality ot the
fictitious Harvey Birch,' the old gentleman
smiled and said:
" 'Enoch Crosby did noble service In the
war. He was' as; bold a a Jloa and as cun
ning at a for.. Cooper has 'certainly told
14
much in The Spy' of what I knew of Cros
by's doings. But on that subject I desire
to nelthcjaiillrm or deny.' "
This remark of course closed tbo conver
sation on that subject.
"Whon did you last sco Enoch Crash?"
I Inquired.
In his extreme old age. lie was called
as a witness In a court held ut our City
Hall about 1827, 1 think. The newspapers
had already coupled his name with that of
Harvey Bitch. An old gentleman who was
iu tho court-room aud had known Crosby
qulle intimately, but supposed he was dead
recugulzcd him before the opening of coutt,
and they had mutual greetings. After
Crob, had testlHcd Lis old friend lntro
ducud him to the audience as the original
ol Harvey Birch. Crosby was Instantly
made famous, for Uio newspapers mentioned
this Incident in the court-room."
"Cooper's 'Spy,' " continued Mr. M'
bad lately been dramatized. Tlie manager
of one of the theatres Invited Mr. Crosby
to attend a pcrformanco two evenings of-
terward, when 'Tho Sp' was specially
presented for Hint occasion. Nolico had
been given that the real spy would be pres
ent. T lie house was crowded. Mr. Crosby
was introduced to the audlnccc as Harvey
Birch, when ho was saluted with rounds of
applause and tho waylng of handkerchlufs."
"Well do I remembor the scene,'- said
Dr. Frauds, "for I was present. Greatly
interested, I called on Crosby tho next day
at Washington Hall, on tho corner of
Broadway and Chambers street, when he
told me that he recognized in '.ho play some
of his own performances nearly fifty years
befote. He then seemed to bo in robust
health. His figure was nearly six feet iu
height and erect, his shoulders were broad
and his mind was vigorous. He told me
he was clghty-oao years of ago."
Mr. M - related soveral stirring Inci
dents In the career of Kuoch Crosby as a
spy not mentioned by Barnum. I bade
htm adieu at ten o'clock much gratllled
and edilied by the Interview,
r.noch Crosbys adventures as recorded
in Iho third person by Captain Barnum
weie related by his own lips to the com
pllcr. I can give hero only a brief account
of a few of them.
Crosby was a native of Massachusetts.
When he was a little child his parents set
tled In tbe southeastern part of (present)
i-uinam couniy, xs, r. ms intner was a
staunch Whig, and as Enoch grow tojoung
manhood his patriotism was stimulated by
the events which immediately preceded the
old ll'ar for Independence. He was a lus
ty youth; learned the trade of n shoemaker,
aud when tho war. broke out he entered
tho army destined to Invade Canada in
1775. Ho sickened on l.ake Cham plain
aud went no further.
11 cstcbesler county abounded with
Tories, and In time became a neutral
ground scourged by marauders from both
armies. When his health was restored
Cnby left his homo to join a detachment
of the Army at Vorplanck's Point. In u
louciy piace just toward uusk on a warm
day in September ho fell In with an appar
ent gentleman, whom ho soon discovered
to be a Tory. Crosby immediately con
eclved apian for the benutli of his country.
He pretended to be lo, hIUi on the way to
join the British army al New York. The'
gentleman Invited him lo tuny all nlght-at

sented. Tho next day he was Introduced
to several of these joung Toiles, ami met
a larger number of them at tholr usuul
rendezvous that night. He learned their
names, residences and plans. Pretending
to be anxious to reach Xi-w York speedily,
be departed alone, wont to ll'nlte Plains
aud revealed his discoveries to the Commit
tee of Safety sitting there Messrs. Jay,
Piatt, Duer and Sackett. At their request
he piloted a party of rangers to tbe nest of
Tories which he had just left, by whom
they were all arrested and taken lo White
Plains jaiis.
Iho Guunulttce perceiving how useful
Crosby might be us an Informer, employed
him as a secret agent for the- discoy.
cry of Tories and their plans, agreeing to
do all In their power to protect .him from
harm. Equipping himself with a peddler's
pack filled with a shoemaker's "kit," he
started out on his perilous quest In the dis
guise. of a mechanic seeking work.
Crosby's Ilrst adventure1 was not far away.
Just at sunsot ho was at tho door of a farm
lioose craving entertainment for the night.
The farmer's wife suspicious ot everybody
In those troublesome times, hesitated. In
qulilng what was in his pack, Crosby told
her he was a shoemaker, when she said he
might stay long enough to make her John
a pair of shoes. Crosby, 6hrt5wdly suspec
ting he was among Tories, told her he wat
on his way to the British army to make
shoe for tho soldiers, and that they were
.then approaching White Plains. She was
delighted, and when her husband came in
she told him tlie good news. He greeted
Crosby warmly, and he was entertained as
a friend of tho royal cause. The next day
he was Introduced lo the captain of a com
pan.T nearly ready to join the British, and
was shown by him a long muster roll.
Crosby became the guest of the captain
that night, who revealed to his now recruit
all their plans.
Retiring early, when all was quiet Crosby
left his bed, sped to H'hlte Plains, revealed
his discovery, and returned before day
break. Tho following night the company
wer all assembled at the captain's bouse.
Crosbj was one of the most active among
them. Suddenly the tramp of horses was
hcaid un'd then a shout at the door:
"Surrender, or you are all dead men."
Some fled to the atlic, some to the cellar,
but all were arrested, taken to White
Plains, and then sent up the Hudson aud
Imprisoned In the Dutch church at Fish
kill village, lire miles from the landing.
Crosby was among the prisoners, who were
taken before the Committee of Safely, sit
ing at a house near Flshkill village. When
left alone with the Committee, after the
ether prisoners were taken away, a plan for
bis escape was formed; he was Instructed
to go to a peison at Wapplirger's creek,
who would give him directions about ser
vice on the west side of the Hudson. Then
ha assumed the name ofJJobn Brown.
That night he escaped through the window
of the church, adroitly ayolddlng the seutl
nels. He tied to a swamp and baffled pur
suers.

a British officer was secretly recruiting a
company of Toiles for tho royal army, not
far north of Newburgh, Thither Crosby
was sent. He sought employment as a
shoemaker a' a farmhouse, and was eu-
gaccd to work on tbo farm a few days. He
tried In yalu to elicit from the farmer any.'.
indications of his politics. At length,
while In the Held, they beard the booming'1
of a cannon below. After some conversa
tion Crosbf said!
" IHi&t do you think ot all this business?"
The answer revealed tho Tory proclivi
ties of tho farmer. Crosby led hlra on.
Ho e.tprcsseifto tbe farmer his desire to
join the British army it he could. Satis
fied with evidence's loyalty, the farmer told
him that lu a mountain not far off was a'
rave, used as headquarters by a British
captain, who was recruiting a company for
the British army, who would be glad to tt'
eelve him as a recruit, with whom he could
go In safety to New York. That night the
farmer piloted Crosby to Iho caye, where
he was cordially received. He told the
captain the story of his escape from the
rebels at FUhkill, joined his company as '
John Brown, and gained tho full confidence
of his' commander.
An arrangement was made for a general
rendezvous of tho company at a barn near
Cornwall, at n certain time, to prepare for
proccedlug to the British lines. Crosby
now wished to send a communication t6.
the Committee of Safely. To bo absent
from headquarters long might excite sus
plcion. He shrewdly suggested to the cap
talu that Townscnd'a Rangers were nblqul
totts, and If they should fall upou them "at
the barn they might lulu the whole corps.'
Ho proposed a partial scattering of the bajad '
until tho hour for depatture. Tho captain
assented, when Crosby repaired to tbe
house of a staunch Whig, whom he knew1, '
and desired him to saddle his bis horse and '
carry a message to the Committee at FUh
kill. It was done. Crosby wrote:
"Gknti.kmkn: I hasten this express to
reqnost you to ordei Captain Townscnd'a
company of Rangers to repair Immediately
to the barn on the west side of Butter Hill,
and there to secrete themselves until w'
arrive, which will be to-morrow evening .
probably about seven o'clock, where with
about thirty Thirty Tories, they may find
your obedient servant, John Bbowh."
Accompanied by Col. Duer, ono of the
Committee, of Safety, Captain ,Townsond
with his Rangers appeared promptly at the
appointed time and place, and secured the
whole band of Tories, with the English,
captain. Duer had come to protect Cros
by, for Townsend chagrined at his escape'
from Flshklll, might now use blm harshly.
They were all taken to Fiihklll. Crosby
was marched a mile from the church to a
farm-house where Jay, one of the Commit
tee resided, and which was tbe temporary
headquarters of Townsend. The latter.
determined that his troublesome prisoner-
should not again escape, put Crosby In a ,
room by himself under a strong guard.
At about midnight Crosby was awakened
by a gentle touch, and saw the sweet YacV
of a maiden beudtng oyer him with a dark,
lantern. '
"Follow me without spoaklng," she said. '
Crosby obeyed. As they left the room
the girl locked the door, led Crosby out by -a
back way, and pointing to a mountain'"
which lay bathed In moonlight, bade him
seek safety among its crags.
"But how have you effected this?" asked
tho bewildered prisoner, "and what wlll'lis
tlie result to your self and that careless sen
tinel?"
"Fear nothing for either," replied the
girl, "but hasten to the mountains. I shall

Townsend and his men had fasted all day.
Tlie maiden provided the captain and. the
sentinel with a bountiful supner, and with
plenty of brandy, which she had drugged,
and they slept soundly until morning.

prisoner escape from tbo locked room, and

After a few more equally striking adven
tures, Crosby, finding himself suspected by
the Tories, deemed It no longer prudent to
play the part of a spy and left the secret ,
serylce. At the close of the war he became .
