Simple remedies are frcnerally what is needed. We carry a very superior stock ofj Dritys and JTcfliCincs, and guarantee the strictest pu rity. We make a specialty ofi filling physicians prescriptions and lamilv receipts. None but the Furcst Drugs dispensed. We endeavor to keep in stock everything that is usually wan ted by our many customers, but anything we may not have will be ordered in at once, on short notice. But to change the subject You may be ruptured, and ifj so. we can sutmlv vou with Trusses and Support Ci'S at prices much below those in the city. or. as we do all of our own fitting, can safely say that a perfect fit will be guar anteed. Three-fourths of the Trusses sold do not give satis- taction. because thev are im properly fitted to the body. We have a private apartment in connection with our store, for the proper fitting of these goods. Trusses for men, children and ladies always in stock. If you have had trouble heretofore in getting fitted give us a trial and we will guarantee a fit, or money refunded. Do not for get that we have a most com plete stock of Spectacles and Eye-glasses.

And threw ber plump arms round me tight In a manner most beguiling ; Tben in her sweet, impulsive way. She hugged me, as she kissad me. And toll me how the livelong day She thought of me and mis? J me. She helped me otT with coat and bat. And led me, still close-clinging, Into the dining-room and sat Duwn at the table singing, The mual was perfect ; freehat flowers. The fire-light warm and rosy, Mad allseed bright; swift flew the hoars, And we were, oh ! so oozy ! Then after dinner, she and I Sang the old song? together We u.ed losing in days pone by My heart was like a f oat her ! Our happiness made earth a heaven, And now as I review it, I recollect 'twas past eleven Almost before we knew it. Wcsat there on the sofa then. She nestling cloe beside me ; Softly she smoothed my hair, and when I kissed her, did not chide me ; She fondly pinched my check, and so. Her dimpled hand upon it. She whispered, " Darling, do you know, I need a new sprint; bonnet." THE NEW OPERATOR. Nellie and Rob had quarreled. Not as do many lovers, for both were operators and had charge of offices whose wires were too busy to permit any war of words; but just enough space had occurred that morning for each to make tbe other miserable. There had long been an affinity between the two of a stronger nature than usually exists between telegraph 0ierators. Nel lie's tender touches upon the key could alone quiet the nervous twitch ing of Robin's arm when worn out by the rush of messages and train orders. Sbe it was who seasoned the magnetism of dots and dashes with a balm that kept his heart sweet and wholesome. This she of ten did, weaving the good mornings and good evenings into lengthy tete-a-tetes. It so happened one evening that Ned Owens, the operator at Pine BlulT, a little station icterTening be tween Milldale and Fairfield, made use of his ground wire, thus cutting ofi" all cammuuicatitin between the lovers, but giving himself free scope to talk to his pretty and eeintilatinj; cousin. She, however, was not kept in the dark as to tbe proceedings, and together thev invented a scheme to make the devoted Rob Price jeal ous. " It will be such fun to know that Rob is fretting over a trouble he be lieves to be caused by a fallen tree," said the handsome Ned, his black eyes twinkling with mischief. " And I. in trying to round off his surmises, will give a sudden hint of the truth, get red in the lace, and apper r much confused," continued the naughty Nellie, tapping her lit tle foot anxiously against the em broidered footstool that adorned the little office. Poor Nellie Trumont! Little does she dream that long hours of suffer ing must atone for short intervals of heartlessness and coquetry. So every day the ground wire went on just at the time when Robin had a few minutes of rest to talk with his affianced, but no answers came to his repeated calls. "There is a ground north of me," he repeated, and reported it to the main office. After testing the wires for some time the trouble was locat ed at Pine Bluff. Explanation was asked for, and the wholesouled Ned, confessing that something had be witched him iu Milldale, was for given at the h?adquarters and the matter dismissed. But into the heart of Robin Price crept a dark suspicion, which no syllogism of his sweetherrt seemed true enough to oblite rate. So a deep jealousy budded in hit life, that each day unfolded and perfected. "I will leave her," he muttered. " Why toil and sweat out an exist ence for a creature who will perhaps wreck my manhood, as she has threatened mr youth?' And with these thoughts animating his pur pose he seized the key and called "MJ," signing Fd," those being the letters that designated the two stations, Milldale and Fairfield. Nellie recognized the stroke and, springing from her pet bird's cnge to the table, opened the key and, after making several excited dots, feigned her office call "Md." I leave on No. 23 for California;" were the words that the little brass sounder sang out. To-night's ex press brings you a package and a le'ter that explains all. You have been false," tbe little instrument continued to sing, ar.d then came a pause and the circuit closed. Burning shame ar.d indignation that he should accost her thu on a line where perhaps several dozen were listening first seized her, and pride kept whispering in poor Nel-lie-'n ear. Opehint- npain the key she vehemently fiticered it a mo ment and then plainly and leisurely drummed out the moct provoking "O.K." Bat O how she longed to call it back ! How wilhnsly she would hi ve told him all, not trying to hide the scalding tears that forced their way down her burning cheeks. But it was too late. Robin's fears were now confirmed. He was lioarding the train for his western tour when some one slapped him on the shoulders, exclaiming. " Hello, r.ld pard ! what's the latest from Milldale?" But, seeing the desperate glare in his rival's eyes, he drew back a foot or two. "You coward," groaned Robin. "How dare you meddle with my heart and now openly try to humil iate me?" But as he entered the coach Ned seized his arm, saying, tt Don't be rash, Rob. Come back into the office and I will make ev erything as clear as my consciepce."

The spring time had made many changes upon the wire. Ned had deserted his post and a new operator had taken charge of bis office, which had always been a kind of play ground for her, where she gamboled at will, but now how changed. She would not dare call this new comer, who seemed always rushed with business, and the night opera tor at Fairfield had slipped into her lover's chair quite naturally, and taunted her with many an insinu ation whenever she a.ked for infor mation oi allowed a willingness to converse. Sitting one afternoon brooding over the past and dreaming of the far west she was aroused from the lethargy by the instrument clatter ine out her office call, aud continu- ing to repeat the same until Bhe had duplicated the letters in answer. J " Good evening, Miss N. 1 learn ed yesterday through Ned Owens, night-maa at Fairfield, that you were a lady operator. Why have you not called me before this and driven away the spring fever with your sprightliness ?" said the same little sounder that had beeu tolling a funeral knell for so lor.g. " Good evening," was Nellie's tim id response. "You seemed always occupied and I feared to intrude." " Ha, ha," rattled the relay and sounder, both seeming to enjoy the change that had come over them. u You are mistaken. Business is dull enough here. Haw do you pass your leisure time? I do not hear you as often as I did as I did ahem ! the lady operator on the C. Jc. line, where I came from.'' "Most any way," replied Nellie. " I crochet and make verses Bome times when there is a lull on the line." Then the demon of her old self came back to her ard revived her spirits. "How prettily vou send.' wrote the dainty fingers. "Go ahead, I love to hear you." "Thanks," said the new operator, beginning to make each sentence more complex and throwing alter nate reflections of sunshine and shadow into them, which fairly daz zled Nellie's poetic nature, and made an electric tremor creep along her nerves and flaf-h throuch every fibre cf her hungry heart "I hope to have toany more such chats with you. tlood night. Someone's call ing on No. 9. Thus it was that within the space of half an hour Nellie's heart had undergone a reaction, and something like the old merriment crept. into her bright eyes. Every day brought a warmer sonsfcine into her heart, that was fast chasing away the shad ow that had darkened it, and all because she was loyed bv a stranger the new operator. Try as .she would, she could not help associat ing him with her truant lover. At time their touches upon the key were similar and their expressions facsimihes. One day she essayed to ask in a seemingly indifferent tone : "Did you ever know 'B,' who worked days at 'Fd V " " Know whom ?"' clicked the in strument in return. Rob Trice," replied Nellie, with a tremble on the last dot Ha 1 The dunce who broke his heart over your piece of fun with Ned ? I should say I had heard of him a few times. I understand he is burying himself in a mining camp out west, and his health is declining. Weeds must have sunshine as well as flowers, you know ; but say, don't make me jealous by trying to resur rect him. May I come up to mor row and see you? I have a friend who is going to Milldale, and I would like to accompany him," said the new operator. " Certainly," retorted the Milldale office, and Nellie began to smooth her brown hair and arrange the pa pers on her desk as if it were dawn instead ot twilight That night her dreams were trou blesome, and when the morning looked in the window there were tears upon her lashes. She made a hasty toilet and sauntered off to the office, wishing that a wreck would delay the early train. Sbe had just unlocked the door and stood talking to little Jack, who was caroling in his cage, when the train whittled. The engine pulled up slowly to tbe platform, and Ned Owens came bounding into tbe room, kissing her until her cheeks were aglow with blushes. " Nell," he said, "I beg a thousand pardons for abandoning vou as I i did, but I have a surprise for you,"j and throwing the door wide open he presented to her the new operator Robin Price. There he stood, with extended arms, looking handsomer than ever, with the same soft hair curling over his brow. Nellie uttered a little shriek and fell in his arms. Years and years have slipped by since then. Nellie is now a hsppy mother, who draws her children about her at twilight and tellB them stories of her truant lover, of Ned, and the New Operator. J. J.

It is a great bluader to start out in life without the supreme and holy I lect oi attainment. in the highest and truest sense of the , . ! wor(1 13 10 be tQe est tnlD d06" ! the skies. There are wemen, we are sorry that truth compels us to say it, with whom the cut of a collar, the depth of a flounce, and the style of a ribbon are of more importance, and cause more worry and thought, than tbe strength of a virtue, tbe form of a mind, or the style of a life. They have the delirium " trimmins." They live for no great purpose, no worthy end. They dress nobody, feed nobody, save nobody. They set no examule of virtue and womanly life. What are they good for? Why are they here? To be fed and dress ed to order by servants, milliners and dressmakers ? . Young women make a big blun der if they fail to get a good educa tion. Eeducation elevates and re tines, and is an indispensable condi tion of true womanhood. How many girls leave school at "sweet six teen ?" How few, comparatively, of our girls, ever get even as far as the high school ? The girl who in these days fails to acquire a good educa tion has but two reasons for her ig norance :-he was either too lazy, or crazy after the boys. Young women make an irrepara ble blander if they do not guaid with holy jealousy their good name. A good name is "the immediate jewel of the soul. It is your all. Re member that while society lets the man (.the poor, innocent thing) go free, it will stone the woman. Young women make a big blun der if they do not know how to take care of a home. It is a grievous so cial and moral wrong when girls are brought up helpless in household life. How many mothers there are who hardly let their daughters soil their hands, and work like slaves that their daughters may enjoy every luxury and do nothing. No woman ought to be allowed to marry unless she can give evidence that she can look well to the ways of her house hold. In case she may not herself be required to work, she ought to be able to 6re whether the work is done in a proper manner. No woman can lay claim to a finished education un less she is acquainted, to a certain extent, with the science of bakeolo- gy, boiloloy, makeology, stitchology, and mendologv. i here never was a greater blunder than to substitute good looks for good qualities. The reason why so many men do not make homes for themselves is be cause they cannot afford it the wo men ure so averse to doing anything and so extravagant in their tastes and desires. About the most fatal blunder a young woman can commit is to con tract a bad marriage yet how com monly it is done. ' You blunder if you marry a man beneath you. You wrong yourself, your familv, and your whole life. (Read Tennyson's " Loxley Hall.") Now and then a woman of great force of character may lift her husband upward, but she accepts such a labor at the risk of her own higher life. Better alone than in baS company. Remember that it takes a great deal to make up tbe loss of a father's home and a good mother's counsel, and the society of brothers and sis ters. These afiectiens last, while those of many a young man wane in the honeymoon. Young women blunder if they marry young men who have not the wherewith to support them. No man is justified in expecting a wo man to consent to marry him until he has given fair evidence that be has counted the cost of keeping a family. Remember, too, that an industri ous mechanic, or he who has an hon-e.-t living by his own efforts, is worth more than all the floating, brainless, though fancy-skulled and banged fops in the world. Never marry a man to mend him or relnrm turn. It a man will not ceuse drinking to please his sweet heait. he will neter do so to please his wife. Rather choose the single blet-sedness of maidenhood than the double cursed ness of a drunkard's wife. Bitter tears can never undo what vou ought not to have done at first. " Do not rush into the sacred tem ples of matrimony unsanctified by holy principles. Custom, conven ience, passion, vicious novels, silly companions, intoxicate tbe brain, and the step which death only can retrieve it often taken without one si rious thought. Next to being born into the kingdom of Ood, marriage is life's greatest event Yet bow olten is matrimony made a matter ot money, or simply a society affair between two exquisite fools. lou llunder if you do not marry in your own religion.. Husbands and wires of different religious per suasions do not generally live hap pily together. Rev. Madison C. rtter. Thn Dead Wood ou tbe AnarchUts). Chicago, May 7.

The salary list alone of any first class club, foots from 125,000 to $40,- 000 a year, and individual salaries in some instances, hare nearly reached $-5,000 a season, and in many cases thsy have ranged from $2,500 to $3,500 for the season. But there is no class of public amuse ment or sport whieh, when properly conducted, gives better returns than baseball. The travelling expenses of a club form quite an item in the expendi tures, and generally foot up to $10, 000 or more during the year. This includes all railroad fares and ac commodations at first-class hotels. Each club has about 12.000 miles to cover during its regular champion ship season, not to mention bow many more while playing exhibition games. Then there is the additional cost ot keeping the grounds in prop er playing condition, besides paying gatemen, ticket-takers and special men employed about tbo grounds. All there things are well understood by those who have studied the sub ject, ami they kuow full well that a large capital is required to properly conduct tbe business. The day has gone bv when half a dozer, men can organize a club, unless they can show that they are financially able to carry out their engagements dur ing the season. A year.or two ago fancy salaries were paid in a great many instances, and players who happened to receive a little notice demanded such exorbitant prices that it came near ruining some of the clubs. To avoid any unreasona ble prices by players, the leading or ganizations have passed a rule lim iting a player's salary to $2,000 and doing away w'th the advance money system except just enough to defray traveling expenses at the beginning of the season. The paying out of a large sum of advance money during the early part of the season proved a great burden to most of the clubs. and the abolishing of that system has met with general favor through out the country. A year or two ago a good first er third baseman could not be engaged for less than $1,200, and from that np to $2,200. A first class second baseman could obtain from $2,000 to $3,000. A short stop with any reputation wanted from $2,500 to $3,500 a year. Outfielders command from $1,500 to $2,500 for the season. Tbe pitcher, whe is a very important man in the nine, es pecially it he has any known abui ties as a twirler, would make si mod eft demand of from $2,000 to $3,500 for his season s work, and then he would want a man to alternate with him. There are some men who are really worth more than tbe $2,000 limit, and they should be paid in accordance with their merits but there must be a line drawn some where, and tbe men who make un- reasoaable demands, simply because thev happen to do well during a sea son, should be kept down to the limit. For $2,000 for one hour s work, six days in the week, for sev en months in the year, is good com pensation. New York Mail and Ex. press. Men Dreeaed aa Women. Women's clothes make the most foolish disguise in the world for a man to assume when he wants to make a success of concealing his identity, for there is not a man liv ing capable of counterfeiting a wo man's walk sufficiently' well to de ceive an ordinary student of human nature. There is a swing and a pe culiar step to even the most mascu line of women that the wearer of pantaloons cannot duplicate. Just look at the female im person at ers on the stave; their walk gives them away at once, despite high-heeled shoes and a certain atrocious wrig gle that they acquire in learning the art It was his walk that betrayed express-robber Page last Tuesday , when be was passing from the cars to the meal-station dining-room. I cannot exactly explain the difference between a woman walk and a man's, but you will be able to ap preciate it when you hear this story. A French detective was after an im portant criminal, whom he knew to be disguised as a female. He follow ed his trail closely until he located hisa in a certain railway car. The car was crowded with with women, and, after studying over tome plan for finding his man, he took an ap ple and tossed it toward a party in crinoline who he strongly suspected of being the criminal. The rase succeeded. The party saw the apple coming and put p his hands and brought his legs together so as to have a double chance of catching the fruit That settled him. The detective followed the direction of the apple and, potting hi hand on his shoulder, said: "Yon axe my prisoner." You see, if it bad boon a woman, instead of bringing the knees together at such a time, as a man always does, she would have spread her knees apart so as to catch the apple in her lap.

One of the most memorable duel ever fonght in Arkansaw was a pis tol combat between Albert Pike, the poet &nd John S. Roane, in 1847. Pike was an ardent Whig. In those days Whigs and Democrats may have treated one another politely, but they were never held together by strong ties of friendship. Pike took occasion to remark that Roane lacked physical courage. This was awful. At that time, when such a high estimate was placed upon bra very, it was dangerous to say that Mr. so-and so would not fight You could intimate that he was not truth ful, and might with impunity hint that he was a barbarian, but persons who value quietude knew better than to say that the Hon. Mr. so and so was afraid of anything. Roane hearing of Pike's remark, challenged him. An attractive spot in the Indian territory, just opposite Fort Smith, was selected for the bat tle ground. Pike, Roane and the sec onds set out in a stage coach for the place of combat The conversation during the journey was extremely polite. No one referred to the ob ject of the trip. Pike's poetic fancy played gloriously, lite a lamb; Roane s abihtv to converse charm ingly was never exerted to more ad vantage. Pike "Nature smiles .to-day. See the river throw a kiss of radiance at tbe sun." Roane "Yes, and see how the redrud tree blushes in beautiful con sciousness of its own splendor." Pike "Away off, just above the hilltops, I see a cloud rising. Nature will weep ere night metbmks. Koane "Her tears will nnd a welcome, for the earth is in sad need of the copious moisture of sympathy. The corn twists its blades and utters a laughing cry." Pike s second " wouldn t care if we did have a shower. My corns have been giving mo fits for the last two days." Koane second ie, anJ my rheumatism has begun to frisk about and climb all over me like a bed bug." Pike "See tbe partridge fly over tbe grassy .lope. Browu bird of modesty, I could eat all your rela tives, with great relish, uie'.hinks." Roane " The partridge is a beau tiful bird. I would rather eat him than oat a prairie chicken." Pike's second "Yes, or the boil ed crow either." Roane's second ,-I feel rather gnawisb, and I could even eat a piece of crow if I had it." Matter of fact surgeon (rattling his instruments) "I suppose so, and I may add that you cannot eat it unless you have it" Thus the time passed pleasantly. The gentlemen occupied the same quarters at Fort Smith. The fight was advertised to take place a few minutes after sunrise. The polite gentlemen were on time. Thev cor dially greeted each other. Roane "Pike, how do yen feel this morning?" Pike "I am well, and hope these few lines will find you enjoying the same blessing. One of the seconds "Gentlemen, I dislike to intrude, but let me re mind you that you have come hith er to attend to a little piece of busi ness that cannot well be delayed. The surgeon (taking out a saw) "Yes, and if we want to get back in time for breakfast we'd better go to work." The two determined gentlemen took their positions. Both msn were strikingly handsome. Pike in those day 8, as be do: s now, wore long cur ling hair, all of which belonged to him. Roane was tall and pictures que, so much so that he was often taken for an amateur photographer. When the command was given both men fired simultaneously. One of Pike's curies fell to the ground. Roane lost nothing. Pike (banding his pistol to his second) "You put in a little too much powder. Be more careful this time." Another round was fired. Neither one of the men was struck. The seconds conferred with each other. Tbe doctor ran his probe into the ground a time or two and requested tbe gentlemen to be brief. One of the seconds "Gentlemen, this matter has been amicably set tled. Mr. Roane has discovered that he will fight, and Mr. Pike is will- Pike "Roane, I am glad to meet yon sir. Come and see me some time." Roane "111 do so." Seconds "Now let us take some thing." Surgeon "I'm with you." lbe two gentlemen became as good friends as a Whig and Demo crat could be, and even if Pike cherished any ill will, he lived to have his revenge, for Roane was elected Governor of Arkansaw. When General Pike recently visited this State, he viewed the scene of the battle and stood on the spot where he once lost a curL Arkansaw Traveler. A Knowing- Dosj. At a convent in France twenty poor people were served with dinner at a given hour every day. A dog belonging to the convent was al ways present at this meal, watching for any scrape that might be thrown to him. The guests being very hun gry themselves, and not very charit able the poor doc did not more than smell tbe food. Each pauper rang a bell, and bis share was deliv ered to him through a small open ing so that neither giver nor receiver could see each other. One day the dog waited till all were served.when bo took the rope in his mouth and rang tbe belL The trick succeeded, and was repeated the next day with tha same success. At length the cook finding that twenty-one por tions were doled out instead of twen ty, determined to find out the thief, and at last the clever dog was detec ted. But when the monks heard tho story, they rewarded the dog's ingenuity bv allowing him to ring tho bell every day, and a mesa of broken victuals was thenceforth regularly teryed out to him in his turn. WHOLE NO. ISIS. To Jlavigato tbe Air. Dr. DeBaussett of Chicago, the gentleman who has been for several rears attempting to solve the prob em of aerial navigation, baa just made a practical test that is of con siderable note to the pablic The plan is to build a steel cylinder 270 feet long and 75 feet in diameter with a 90 foot cone at each end, the entire length being 450 feet Beneath this cylinder it is proposed to sus- Dend a car. which will be some 120 feet long, and carry the motor and a large number of passengers. The inflation process will be dispensed with, and the cylinder will be almost a complete vacuum. He proposes to use electricity as a motor, ami ex pects to attain a speed 16 to 20 miles per hour near the earth s surface, and 4 j to 60 miles per hour at an altitude of 8,000 feet To accom plish this, he will use dynamo-electric motors, which rotate 12 screws, and displace 300,000 cubic feet of air per miaute. The cylinder is to be built of steel plates 25 inches long and 10 inches wide. The ex periment on Monday was to teat the practical strength of tbe plates. This was done by putting a plate in such a position in a frame that had been arranged that the entire weight would rest upon tbe steel. Tbe Doc tor put 2,400. pounds of iron upon the stell plate which was more than his figures bad shown it would with stand. Tbe plate proved itself of sufficient strength to hold the load. xesterday he tested it with hydrau lie pressure. Tbe cylinder will be a vacuum to three quarter, one quar ter being reserved to counteract the atmospheric pressure of 3.66 pounds To raise the aeroplane with the car attached, the machinery, and 200 persons, the pressure is 8.55 pounds, giving a margin of cO tons ot air in reserve in the cylinder to carry merchandise. V ith 80 tons of air displaced the atmospheric pressure will be 11 pounds. Dell Hankaow's Nerve. Dell Bankson, an oil well shooter, went to Kane on Saturday to torpedo the Craig x Cappean well, wbicb had just reached the oil sand. He had lowered the shell, containing twenty quarts of nitroglycerine, a hundred feet in tbe well, when he discovered that tbe well was about to make a flow. He knew that the force of the oil would carry tho tor pedo out at the top of tbe well, and that if it went on up with the flow would be exploded against a derrick beam, and there would be nothing left of him or derrick to show were the well had been. With remarkable presence of mind be placed himself at the moth of the well, and as the spile shot np on the stream of oil he threw his arms it and held it Even tben unduB haste and lack of cool judgment might have proved fatal, but Bank son held the torpedo nntil the spout of oil had ceased before he removed it from the well, although he knew that only a few seconds would elapse before tbe oil would be followed by a volume of gas and mass of rocks from the depths. The instant the oil ceased he lifted the spile from the well and walked carefully away, carrying the torpedo in his arms. He had scarcely turned his back when the gas and rocks came out of the well with a roar and a rush. When all was over he replaced tbe torpedo in the well, lowered it to the bottom, and finished his work. When tbe owners of the well beard of the wonderful nerve and judg ment displayed by Bankson they at once presented him with a check for $100.

But I wusn't hardly prepared for what he says in tbe letter 1 got to-day Hanged ef I thought he would ever go quite so fur as he has and jist right away from everything rooral, as ye might say." "What has he done?" "Why, durned ef he don't write and say that he has decided to quit college and accept a position as ede ter uv an agricult'ral paper I Jist think uv a farmer's son coming to that.

Early made hU great raid on Washington, writes an ex rebel to Tho Detroit Ere fre, I was scouting between bid advance and the city, aud wad captured witn in tbe city limits twenty-four hours before his battle flags appeared in sight I was dressed in citizen's clothes, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and claimed to have been driven out of Richmond because I had written threatening letters to Jefferson Davis. I had been inside the fortifications for half a day and was slowly work ing out when a couple of young men, both of whom were considera bly worse for liquor, halted me and wanted to fight I had a pencil and a block of paper with me and I wrote : "I am deaf and dumb." That made no difference with them. Indeed, they declared that it would be a novel idea to lick a deaf and dumb man, and one of them gave me a cuff on the ear. In those days I weighed 100 pounds and had the muscle of a prize fighter. I tried to get away from them without further trouble, but when they seemed determined to have a row I gave them all they wanted, and wasn't many minutes about it A crowd of soldiers and civilians collected, the provost guard came np, and the result was as 1 bad anticipated. I was arrested and car ried off to the guard-house. One of the young men, who afterwards turned out to be related to a mem ber of the cabinet followed me to the office of the provost 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 mv examination was carried on in writing. I was asked my name, age, where born, and a hundred other questions, and then- searched. They found nothing of a criminating nature, and I reasoned that I would be detained until after the excitement had passed and then turned loose. After being detained three days an officer entered my quarters one morning and said to me: ".Well, dummy, you can pack up and go out" The minute I heard his stei out side I was on my guard, but he spoke in such a natural tone that I came near giving myself away. On three dinereni occasions during the war I played the part of a deaf and dumb man, and I tell you it takes all the nerve and presence of mind a man can call up. I sat facing the door, and while 1 heard his words, I made no movement He came clos er to me and said : "Come, pack up your traps : you are to be turned loose." I looked him straight in the eye without winking, and after a bit a look of cii.igrin stole over his face and he uiotiuned for me to follow him. He took me to the provost marshal's office, and I was ushered into tne private room, where the marshal and three or four other offi cials were seated. On the way to tbe office as we crossed a wide street. the officer suddenly exclaimed : Iheres a runaway horse look out !" If I hadn't been expecting some such thing on his part I might have betrayed myselt As I gave no siga, continuing on with my head down, 1 heard him growling. Ihey think they ve got a sucker. but they'll find out their mistake." I entered the office knowing that every trick would be resorted to to break me down, and my nerves were braced as if to charge a battery of ar tillery. I was left standing by the door for a moment wbn one of the officers looked up quietly and said : lake a seat, sir, and we 11 attend to yon in a moment." I made no move, but looked around tbe room in a stupid sort of way. i was looking out cf the win dow on to a roof when the same of ficer said : You may come forward and take this chair." I stood like a stone, and he rose up, came ever to me, and led me to chair at a table. When I was seated one of the others remarked : Write your name, age, and last place of residence on a slip of paper." That was trick number three, and it failed, as the others had done. By and by the marshal wrote on a slip of paper : " ho are you, and where from V I wrote in reply : 'I am Charles Jones, of Richmond.' "But you are a Union man " sug gested one of the officers aloud. 1 saw bis lips move, but he got no sign from me. lbe examination continued in this manner for a full heur, the men using every artifice to trap me, but they failed to score a single point I knew they would re serve the sharpest point for the last and was therefore nerved up for it. At length tbe marshal pushed back in his chair, pointed his fingr at my breast and angrily exclaimed: "Where did that confederate but ton come from 7" "It was another failure. Then he turned to his companions and said : "Gentlemen, it's no use. The man is certainly deaf and dumb, and a d d fool besides." "We have wasted our time," re plied a second. "He is not only what he claims to be, but may be of great service to us. I'd have the of ficer take him over to the secretary of war." "I guess I will," said the officer, and he rang a bell and I heard the door open. Then he turned to me, careless as you please, and said : "Go with the officer." It was their last shot I never moved a muscle until the officer approached and placed his hand en me. I was taken back to the guard-house, kept a prisoner for another week, and then the dis gusted marshal turned me loose in the streets.
