We were to rej"irt to Colom-l .Shaw, or 'a plain Coleman, who commanded Coleman's Bcouta. We were to go south at far kh Ieeatur, aud ( nd our reports by a courier line to Central Uragg at Missionary Ridge. When we received our orders we were told that the duty was very dangerous, and that they did not expect hut few of us to return; that we would -rlubiy l captured or killed, and we were cau tioned against exot,ing ourselves un neoeswarily. After we had lieen iu Tcnm'ssi-e aUiut ten days we watched the Six-tn.-nlh Army Corjw, comntandetl hy (Jeneral I lodge, more up from Corinth to Pulaski. We agreed that we would lave for the Houth on Friday, the lith of Xoretulier, !;.'!. A numlier Lad lieeu captured and wveral killed. We were to htart that night, each man for himself; each of us his own informa tion, hut I did not write it down or make any memorandum of it, for fear of U-ing captured. I had counted al most every regiment and all the artil lery in the Sixteenth tirjs, and f.und out that that they were moving ou Chattanooga. Late in the afternoon we ttartd out, and ran into the Se venth Kansas Cavalry, known a the "Kansas Jayhawkers," and when Me were told that regimetit had captured ws we thought our time had come. We were taken to Puixski, aUwt fif tn :i mi!, s away, and put in jail, where hvveral other prisoners had lieen sent, and among whom was Sam Davis. I talked to hini over our prosjieets of im prisonment and escape, which were very gloomy. Davis tsaid they had hearched him that day and found some papers upon hiui, and that he had l-en taken to (Jeiierul Dodge's head quarters. They had also found in his saddle neat majw and descriptions of the fortifications of Nashville aiid other Kiuts, and an exact report of the federal army in Tennessee. They found in his hoot a letter, with other pa rs, which was intended for teller al ISragg. Davis was taken to Ceneral Dodge's li.-adjuarters and this is what took plav lietweeu them, whieh t.eneral D'xlge told me recently: "I took him to my private oiViee," sai l (Joneral Dodge, "and I told him it was a very serious charge hrought against him; that he was a spy, and from what I found ujn his jiersou, he had a'n urate information in regard to my army, and I must know w here he fiLtaim-d it. I told him he was a young man and did not seem to real ize the danger he was in. I'p to that time he said nothing, but then he re plied in a most reiectful and digni fied manner: " 'General Dodge, I know the dan ger of my situation, and I am willing to lake the consequences.' "I asked him then to give the name of the fierson from whom he got the information; that I knew it must U some one near headquarters who h:td given him the plans of the Federal army. He replied: " 'I know that I will have to die, I will mt tell where I got the in formation, aud there is no tower on earth that can make me tell. You are doing your duty as a soldier, and I am mine. If I have to die, I do so feeling " fiat I am doing my duty to (.od aud my country.' "I pleaded with and urged him with a'l the iouer I tosseKsed to give me some chance to save his life, for I dis o vered that he was a most admirable young fellow, with the highest eharao t-r and strictest Integrity. He then said: 'It is useless to talk to me. I do not intend to do it. You can court martial me, but I will not In-tray the lru.it reMsed in me.' "He thanked me for the interest that I had taken iu him, aud I sent him I aok to prison. I immediately called a nurt-niartial to try him." The night before he was haiigtnl he wrote the following letter to his father and mother: "Pulaski, (Jilcs Co., Tnn., Nov. IsLS. "Iear Motlicr: 4)h, how painful i! i to write to you! I have got to die to morrow morning to I hanged by the Federals. Mother, do not grieve for me. I must hid you good-bye forever iu re. Mother, I do not fear to die.

After this sentence he was put into a vll in the jail, and we did not see any thing of him until Thursday morning, the day liefore the execution. We were ordered to get ready, as we were jjoiiig to le removed to the court house u tlie public square, about 100 feet from the jaiL Davis was handcufTetl and brought in just as we were eating l.reakfaxt. I gave him a piece of meat that I had been cooking, and he, U-ing liatidcufled, was compelled to eat it with Urfh hands. He thanked n:-, and we all toide him good-bye, aud were sent to the court-house and the guard was doubled. The next morning, Friday, Xoveru lr7, at 10 o'clock, we heard the lrums and a regiment of infantry marching down to tlie jail, and a wag on with a onflin in it was driven up, and the provost marshal went into the jail and brought Davis out. He got Jnto the wagon and stood up and look ed around the court house, and. seeing us at the window, Uiwe.l to us his last farewell. He was dressed in a dark brown overcoat, with cape to it, which Lad been a blue Federal coat, such as mauy of us h id captured, and tlten dyed brown. I note this lnwa-e it had leen i-'atcd ths.t he was drcs-,1 in c!t;.n'8 clothes. I do not n-mcm-l r exactly, but I think he had on a gray jacket underneath. He then sat down upon his eoiTm, and the regi ment moved cl! to tlie suburls of the town, where the gallows was built. I'pon reacl.it g the gsilows he got out of the wagon and took his scat on a Unch uuder a tre-. He asked Cap tain Armstrong how long he had to live. He replied: "Fiftcin minutes.' He then asked Captain Armstrong the new-. He told him of the bnttle of Missionary Ilitlw, and that our army had U-eii def.uled. He expressel much regret, and said: "The l-ns will have to light without me." Armstrong said: "I- regret vry much having to do this; I f I that I would almost rather die my self than to have to do what I have to do." Davis n plied: "I do not think hard of you. You are doing your duty." tiem ral Dodge still had hojies that Davis would recant when he saw that death was staring him in the face, and that he would reveal the name of the traitor in bis camp. He sent Captain Chichasaw, of his camp, to Davis. He rapidly approached the ecollqld, jump ed from his horse and went directly to Davis and asked if it would not be let ttr for him to sjeak the name of the one from whom he had received the contents of the document found upon him, adding: "It is not too late yet." And then, in his last extremity, Davis turned ujsui him and said: X. "If I had a thousand live I would l.w t l.em all here before I would be tray my friends or the confidence of my informer." II then reouested him to thank Ceiieral Dodge for his eilorts to save him, but to rejeat that he could not accept the terms. Turning to the chaplain, he gave him a few kcejisakes to send to his mother. He then said to the provost marshal: "I am ready," ascended tlie scaffold and stepped up on the trap.

Bryant Lindley met a Boer and asked the Tvay. Ho received a t-urly answer which ruaounted to "Go to the devil!" Upon thit ho protested angy, and the. Boer rejoined iu equal bad utimor. At length the Boer unnoted, "What 'a your uame anyway?" and when he heard it bis manner altered at ouce, and ho ex claimed, "What, and are you tho son of the great American missionary Daniel LindleyT" JJy friend gladly pleaded guilty to this charge, and the surly Boer became at once the most hospitablo friend aud begged forgivene? for his rudeness. As they rode together toward the road which my friend was seeking the Boer recounted with grateful satin faction the many good deeds performed by tho elder Lindley, but -of them all the best to him was that represented by a sound thrashing be bad once received at the hands of this venerable mission ary. For it appeared that this particular Borr in his youth bad been Bent to a school taught by Lindley; that the Dutchman was noted for his size and strength and had bragged of bis capac ity to down the teacher, and had actu ally "ought the opportunity by refusing obedience. But he soon learned that he had made a gross mistake, for this par ticular missionary was also a noted ath lete and gave bim such a biding with a bullock whip that the young giant roar ed for mercy before the whole school. And for this aud sind'ar deeds the Boers loved the elder Lindley, and this particulur Boer venerated bis memory. On the evening in question, when the two men wire a tout to part, the Boer, who had been so uncivil at first, begged Lindley, w ith tears iu bis eyes, to grant him a great favor for tho sake of his conscience, "Vour father," said be, "did me a service so great that I can never repay it he gave me the worst thrashing I ever had ho saved my char acter, and I am a better man today, thanks to him." My friend cheerfully promised to grant the request, ponding his head as to what was going to be required of him. The Bot r was mounted upon an excellent hnre, which he' prized be yond anything he owned.

According to II. V. Iheiuipsoii, the Chine have a prac tical nioL?polyof tl.ctr;.i!c. The forests at the head f the- uppe r Namkcng basin are lieh iu rubber, and the tree-s attain a hiight f (jO b e t, with eneiinious giith.

The rubber in this district is said to be growing so scarce that it often takes a man 40 davs to collect a cexily load. la spite of this, tho Singpho villages levy a tax on each collce-tor. When firt col-kctt-d, the rubber is very pure, but tho Nagas have acquired the trick of adul terating it with earth and stones, and the Assam rubber is not rcgardi-el with favor in the Calcutta market. It is a fere point with the Chinese merchants that the Nagas so exhaust the capacity of the rubber to receive adulteration that there is no opening left for the ex ercise t,f their own ingpuuity in the same direction.

Writing cf the woman's vote iu this election, Sir Robert Stout says in the Australian Review cf Reviews: "It can not be said that purity of administra tion or the character of tho candidates loomed large r in the eyes cf women than in these of men. Thti prediction that party zeal and partisan feeling would not blind, them to the defects of the character of candidates has not been folfilh-el. A few members have been returned to tho bemse whoso char acter for sobrie ty does not stand high, and women were found supporting them just an much as men. It cannot be said that women were any different in the ir voting from their husbands and brothe-rs. They were carried away just as much by party cries as the men were, and the party dominafc-d them. " Lon don Echo. Doable Skirted Effect. History repeats itself perhaps oftcner in the matter of dress than in anyothe-r respect Years ago the fashion of ar ranging trimming on tho dress skirt to simulate au ove rdress was merely tho stepping stone to tho actual overskirt that soon followe-eb Auel now coufusion is worse confounded by mixing tho au tiejue and modern iu present moeles with double skirted effects. Wo huve the ovirxkirt hinted at L-y outlines of rufiles, braids aud all the new trim mings, and even the bustle is favorahly lookeel upem Ly many. Whether thisi all means a return to the heavy draperies, steels in the backs cf skirts aud bugo bustle effects remains to be seen. How eve r, if in gative bead shakiugs ou the part of the se-nsible aud comfort loving women and designers mean anything, this scare is only for the mome nt Woman's Home Companion, Women aa African Travelera. This expression, "The gentler se-x are tramping through Africa," would be rather inapproj riate when applied to women, and so oue might in a nif ro "genteel" paraphraso refer to their "waltziug" or "pireiuetting" or "chas seiug" thremgh the dark continent Miss Kingsky having visited tho can nibals, other ladies seem intent on sat isfying their natural curiosity, aud ac cordingly tuere are to be several books telling of women's experiences in the benighted land. Will lady tourists ope n up Africa? Evidently woman U ap proachiug a higher sphere, but Will it conio with a ruse or a lrie-rt Will It come with a hkwiiii; or curse?

There is a god of knives, anoth er cf spades, another of hatchets, anoth er of swords. Every kind cf animal has its deity. Baby's Second Summer is the time that tries all the care of the mother and all the skill of maternal management. Baby comfort comes from fat ; fat babies have nothing to do but to sleep and grow. If your baby does net seem to prosper, if he does not gain in weight, you must get more fat there. A few drops cf mm eich day will put on plump ness; fat outside, life inside, baby and mother both happy. Your baby can take and rel ish Scott's Emulsion as much In summer as in any ether season.
