HE FOUGHT AT WINCHESTER. An Old Rebel Soldier Found Warm Friends When ArraitfiiO'l as a Prisoner. In the case of The State vs. John Stuart, indicted for larceny, the pris oner appeared in the - court room, shuttling along, scarcely able to walk. He wore a soiled check shirt, a very much worn suit, and a buttered hat. Appearing as State witnesses were two well-dressed, sleek-looking men who were determined to seud the old man to the penitentiary. "Has the prisoner any counsel?" asked Judge Phillips. "I have none," answered Stuart. "I am a poor man and unable to pay an attorney." The Judge saw by the man's looks that his was an unusual case, and said: ¥ Well, go on and tell your story." "Well, sir, I was in the Confederate army, and at the battle of Winchester. I was shot through both hips. Since then it has been exceedingly hard for me to support myself. I went to work for this man last year upon his word to board and clothe njo and to pay me what my services woe worth. During that time he paid me 10c, with which I bought tobacco. At the end of eight mpnths he refused to pay me any money, and refused to give any clothes, suying my services were worthless. Then I went into his wardrobe, took a suit of clothes to hide my nakedness and left. He had me indicted for lar ceny, and I have been in jail ever since." As the old man finished a murmur of indignation was heard throughout the court room. "You say you were shot at Winches ter?" asked Judge Phillips, who was himself an officer in the splendid and memorable charge. "Yes, sir. "Were you in the second charge to the left, on the other side of the town ?" The prisoner's face brightened. "Yes," he said, "I was there—Rhodes' division—and was shot while crossing the ravine just below the hill." The Judge was certain then that the old veteran was telling the truth, but to be certain be called the State's wit ness. While this witness was giving in his testimony, which was that the old man's story was about right, but that he refused to pay him anything because liis services were worthless, Stuart leaned over to Solicitor Settle. "Mr. Settle," he said, "your father and I were friends. I lived in Rockingham county, and your father persuaded me to enlist in his company. I received my wound while following him. Since then it has been hard for me to keep out of the poorhouse." Ry this time Judge Fliillips and So licitor Settlo and everybody else in the court room were satisfied that the old soldier had been pitilessly persecuted, aud the faces of the onlookers showed the deepest pity and sympathy for the unfortunate man aud the blackest in dignation for his employer. "Mr. Solicitor," said the Judge, "change your bill of indictment from larceny to trespass." This was willingly done by Mr. Settle, Now," lie continued, "judgment is suspended and the prisoner is dis charged." Scarcely had the last word been spoken wlieu every man in the room applauded, and great tears were roll ing down the cheeks of strong men. As the old man, who half an hour before had been friendless, hobbled out of the court room, hundreds of men drew round him to shake his baud. Our townsman, W. B. Glen, volunteered to secure him a pension. Mr. Hollyfield offered liim a position as miller, and in less than five minutes a purse was made up to buy the old soldier a suit of clothes.— Leesburg Mirror. Some Other Game.

Payson Tucker was in his younger days a companion of Artemus Ward, and tells many a good story about him, savs the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. Here is one that the railrohd manager related to ex-Governor Plaisted at the I Twin Mountain House the other day : Artemus was out very late one night, aud came home in a driving snow storm. The family had retired. Ar temus went around the house und threw snow-balls at his brother Cyrus' window, shouting for him to come down quickly. Cyrus appeared in haste, and stood shivering in his night clothes. "Why don't you come in, Charles? The door is open." "Oh," replied Artemus, "I could have gotten iu all right. I called you down because I wanted to ask you ii you really thought it wrong to keep slavoH." . What Mine Host Says. It is a mistake to suppose that our register books are open to the public as a right. It is simply as a matter of courtesy that we permit any one to look at them, as wo are not obliged to show them. If a person calls at the house in order to see a friend or find out if he is stopping there, it is his place to inquire at the office; that is the only proper way. Our bocks are always destroyed now as soon as they are full. Hotel-keepers have been sub jected to much annoyance by being frequently ordered to produce them iu court as evidence in complicated law suits. In order to avoid so doing we. always destroy our books, and can say to the court that we havo ne record of any such parties as the ones in ques tion having been at our house at any time.

One Author's Story Wound Up Suddenly by Another. Major Calhoun, one of the most pro lific of modern story writers, and Louis Neuman, who is the author of .three composite novels, adapted from the German, Spanish and Italian, were comparing experiences a few days ago. "I once had a rather exciting passage with Ned Buntline." said the Major. "He was writing u story for a weekly paper, on which wo were both frequent ly engaged, when he took a sudden va cation. The publishers were in a di lemma, as they had but a singular in stallment ahead. I was sont for and told to read the chapters already print ed, aud then to set to work and finish up the story in ono or two install ments. "The multiplicity of characters puz zled me. Finally I resolved to get rid of some of them, and 1 adopted a very original method. I put a number of them on board an excursion steamer|and then exploded her boilers, sending them to kingdom come. With tlio rest I worked out a plot to a climax and wound up the story." "That reminds me," said Neuman, "of a somewhat similar incident that occurred in Paris. A highly sensational story was running in one of the daily papers, and the chief had a few install ments on hand when the brilliant young author took it iuto his head to go off and get married. Then he yet out on a wedding tour, which was to last a week. The installments wero soon used up, and another member of the stalf was directed to wind up the story. He sent the heroine to a watery grave in the River Seine; he poisoned the hero; slew the abbe who was the sole witness of the marriage, and closed the tale in a most traghrand harrowing manner. It was a dark and weird success, you may believe. At the end of tlio week the author showed up. He had with him several installments which he ten dered to his chief. " 'Your story is finished M ' said the editor. " 'Pardon me,' said the undaunted novelist, 'it is not finished. 1 have here the continuation, and there is more to c.me. Indeed, the best part of it is here.' " 'Tchut,' exclaimed tlio chief. 'Why insist? I say it is finished. M. hud to do it in your absence.' " 'I am aware that he wrote several chapters,' said the unblushing roman cer ; 'but if you will kindly read this manuscript, I am sure you will agree with me that I am right!' "The manuscript was passed over, and to the chief's surprise it was a re markably dramatic sequel to the story. Tho heroine, instead of being drowned, was rescued by some fishermen on tho river below Paris; tho hero was saved by a medical friend who applied the stomach-pump in time, and the abbe re covered from his wounds and was on hand to bless tliq nuptials of tbe happy pair. "My friend," said the composite novelist, as he turned to the contem plation of a Portuguese book on short horned cattle, which he was translat ing for a Mexican ranchero, "thereis no obstacle that true gcuius cannot over come." The Mun in Room One. It was at a hotel in Manistee, one ol those badly planned houses where tint sounds from the bar-room and officii reverberate through the upper floors The hour was past midnight and s par(y sitting in the office were listening to the experiences told by a loud-spok en guest. The electric bell sounded a call from room No. 1. The porter went up to see about it and was spok en to as foliowe. "Give the compli ments of the Man in Room No. 1 to the gentleman speaking below. Kept awake by tho sound of the gentleman's voice, this man requests him to talk down cellar instead of up stairs." The porter failed to render the mes sage as politely as it was given him and of course tho talking was kept up, with more enorgy than ever. After awhile a bare-legged figure, iu a flannel night robe, appeared upon tho stairway, and speaking in a voice rich with entreaty, said: "Fellow Citi zens, permit me to introduce to this meeting tho Man in Room No. 1. He is not as much of a man as he thought he was when ho saw Room No. 1 put down against his name. [Applause.] Then he believed himself to be 'some punkins,' and the landlord an intelli gent and discerning person. [Hisses.] He now feels himself to be a badly trapped fly and the landlord a diaboli cal spider. [Renewed applause. J When he walked up to the desk and register ed a siren song worded like this ruug in his ears: " 'Will you walk Into Room One,' Bald tlio landlord to the Client, 'Kopt for an honor'd ono? Therein you'll sweetly rest.' " Cries of "GoodI" "Give us a'more!" etc., etc. "Room One," the man wont on, "is down for a call at 4 o'clock; wherefore ('Oh! Oh!') I rise (manifestations) to remark that my honorable friend, tho distinguished gentleman who last ad dressed you ('Rats!'), is an orator of force, and the Man in Room Ono yields to him. The voice of tho honorable gentleman, as it is heard 011 this floor, may he soft and peruasive; but as heard iu Room One, it is n trumpet at tuned to waken tlio landlord's most honored guest. (Derisive laughter.) Room Ono, follow citizens, is at tlio head of this imposing stairway, ascend ing from this magnificent oflico, to which tho adjacent dining-hall, the palatial barroom and the reverberant billiard saloon act as sounding hoards.

Two young crooks wero arrested somo time ago 011 suspicion of committing highway robbery by knocking down a drunken man and rifling his pockets. When they were searched before being Bent to their cells, the halves of two one dollar hills wero found in a pocket of one of the young men, and tho natu ral inference was that the bills were torn in getting them out of tho drunk ard's pocket. After tbe young men were locked UP. another of the saute gang neara ot the arrest and huntea up one of the detectives. He learned about the finding of the bills. "Wero they like these?" he asked, taking (ho other portions of the same bills from his pocket. "Yes," said the detective, "and I guess I want you, too." "Hold on," said the crook. "Come with me into this saloon and I'll provo to you that this is dead straight." The detective accommodated him and reaching the bar the young man said to the cashier: "What did 1 sav this afternoon when I tore them bills iii half and gave half to Eddie?" "You said, as near as I can recollect, 'Take them and keep them until you meet me iu the morning. There will bo one Sunday that we won't be broke.'" ''That's what I said." said the crook, "and there's lots of fellows to provo it." There was no reason to doubt the story, and the cashier said lie had seen it done before by fellows who were afraid to trust themselves with money for fear of spending it too quickly. He said there was ono customer of the place who tore bills in half in this man ner and left a portion of them in his care occasionally. —New York Sun. LETTER!* FROM THE CORNERS.

Ono even ing Boiling killed his seventh man in Clover Bottom. Tlio next day a jury was impaneled to inquire into the affair. The testimony was that the deceased had called Boiling "a liar," and that Boiling immediately drew his pistol and fired, killing tlio man who had in sulted him at the first shot. The jury went out to deliberate, and after a short time returned the follow ing verdict: "We find that the deceased, Henry Jones, committed suicide." The coroner was amazed. "I shall not receive the verdict," he said; "the testimony was positive that Andy Boi ling did the killing." "Yes," replied the foreman, "and the testimony was equally positive and un equivocal that the deceased was of sound mind and in full possession of all his faculties just previous to his death, and that while in this condition he called Andy Boiling 'a liar.' It stands to reason that if he had not meditated self-destruction lie would not have been so rash. He knew what the con sequences would be and bo evidently wanted to die."
