The cynic of science is despirit-
ualized by the atrophy of finer
emotions when he declares that
women’s tears have lost all power
over him, because he has analyzed
them and found only muriate of
soda and a solution of phosphate.
The gentler sex might retort with
saying, “ he possesses not that bit
of phosphorous known as the
heart and has only wormwood in
stead.’' Notwithstanding I have
read, and believe it true, that this
same muriate of soda and solu
tion of phosphate has been the de
struction of dynasties and will
yet be the saving, power of the
world.

Colonel Allen D. Candler,
Georgia’s secretary of state, was a
mountain schoolmaster at the
breaking out of the civil war, but
he comes of fine old Irish ances
try, and the opportunity to lay
aside the- rod- of * correction
and take the shillalah of war, was
too much for the doughty peda
gogue, and he raised a company
and offered his services to the
confederate government and soon
rose to the rank of colonel of the
regiment.
His command was stationed in
north Georgia in 1863, to assist
in stopping the advance of the
federals, but he was detailed to
take command of the post at
Jackson, Miss., and wait there
during the summer of that memor
able year^ when hard fighting was
going on round Vicksburg; and
the confederate and union forces
were struggling-for supremacy in
Mississippi.
* * *
“ One morning bright and ear
ly,” said he, while indulging in
some reminiscences the other day,
“ a planter from down near Ha-
zlehurst, Miss., called at headquar
ters and asked to see me privately.
Taking him into my private of
fice, he disclosed the fact that there
was a union general who. had
been severely wounded around
Vicksburg stopping in his neigh
borhood at the home of a union
sympathizer, and he offered to pi
lot me to tflfe house if I wished to
effect his capture.
“It was too good an opportunity
to be missed, and taking a posse
of six men I proceeded to the lit
tle town of Hazlehurst, which
was the last confederate outpost
on the New Orleans, Jackson and
Great Northern railroad that re
mained in possession of the con
federate forces.
“We arrived at Hazlehurst
late at night and with the plant
er to guide us started on the
march over roads so abominable
that we could hardly pick our
way in the darkness. There was
no conveyance of any kind to be
procured, and we had to foot it
through the fields and woods for
seven miles before we reached
our destination.
“ The planter pointed out the
house to us and remained in the
back ground himself, so that he
might not incur the enmity of
his unionist neighbors, and we
quietly surrounded the house and
I knocked for admittance. It was
not until after he was convinced
escape was impossible that the
unionist agreed to surrender his
guest, and the latter came out in
to the struggling light of the ear
ly dawn with his arm in a sling.
* * *
“ I asked him his name and rank
and he informed me that he was
Neal Dow, holding the rank of
of brigadier general in the union
army. I told him that he must
consider himself a prisoner of war,
and we started on the return jour
ney to Hazlehurst. My prisoner
proved to be an elderly man of
commanding presence and posses-
ed of more than the average intel
ligence, and our acquaintance
progressed rapidly.
“ When we arrived at Jackson
I consigned him to the most com
fortable room in the building
which I had approriated as a mili
tary prison. It had been the
former office of the Flag of the
Union, a red-hot unionist newspa
per, whose publisher had de
camped when the confederates
took possession of the town, and
the name of the newspaper still
appeared on the front of
■
story wooden building in flaming
letters.
“"The only entrance to the sec
ond story was by an outside stair
way, so that one sentinel could
easily prevent the escape of pris
oners confined above, and in that
part of the building I placed my
distinguished prisoner. I visited
him eveiy day and carried him
such newspapers as fell into my
hands, and we discussed the mer
its of the two sides of the ques
tion quite, freely..
“ We soon became the best of
friends, and it was with genuine
regret that I started with him to
.Richmond, where he was to be
consigned to. Castle Thunder as a
prisoner of war. I was accompa
nied by * Coon ’ Mitchell, a pudgy
little music teacher, who had
wandered into the ranks of the
confederate army along with all
the rest of that strangely assorted
assemblage of warriors.
“ One night in August we start
ed, and when we reached Mont
gomery, Ala., we went to the old
National Hotel where I secured a
room. I had not been there long
before I noticed that a mob was
collecting in front of the hotel,
and pretty soon the proprietor of
the hotel, appeared and with
trembling lips warned me that I
had better take measures to pro
tect my prisoner, as the mob was
gathered with the avowed inten
tion of taking him out and hang
ing him to a lamp post.
“ It seemed that a number of-
Pensocolans, mostly Spaniards,
had refugeed to Montgomery, and
to the railway yards. Locating !
the mixed train which was to pull,
out at 4 o’clock, I obtained per- j
mission to enter a box car, and,
folding our blankets, we lay down
on the floor of the car, having se
curely fastened the door, and
awaited the time of leaving.
“ In all my experience I never
passed such an anxious night as
that, and never felt safe until we
had passed the outskirts of the
city and were speeding away to
ward Atlanta as fast- as steam
could carry us.
“ When I arrived there I turn
ed General Dow over to ‘ Coon ’
Mitchell, feeling that all danger
was past, and he accompanied the
the. prisoner to Richmond and
turned him over to the authori
ties there.
“ I passed through many thrill
ing experiences during the war,
but I was never in such a close
place as I was that night in Mont
gomery, while in charge of the
great temperance leader, who was
afterward to make such a world
wide reputation as the undaunted
leader of the crusade against the
liquor evil.” ’
MOTHER!
mand at Pensacola during its oc
cupation by the Union forces, they
were greatly incensed against
him anjl accused him of robbing
them of their personal property,
some of them even claiming that
he had stolen their silver spoons.
Of course I put no. credence in
the charges, but the point was to
defend my prisoner from the vio
lence of that angry and irrespon
sible mob, so I sent for Colonel
Bibb, who was in command of the
post!
* * *
“ On his arrival^we went down
and harangued the crowd and
pleaded with them not to- cast
such a stain on the government
and on the city, by such an act of
violence against all the rules of
civilized warfare. After much
pleading we succeeded in disper
sing the citizens of Montgomery,
who had assembled to assist in the
execution.
“ But the Spaniards from Pen
sacola were not so easily dissuaded
from their purpose. They contin
ued to fill up on mean whisky,
and in a short time they began
gathering in front of the hotel
again, and Colonel Bibb and the
proprietor of the hotel advised me
to get my prisoner out of the city
as soon as possible.
* * *
“ I learned that the next train
for Atlanta would leave at 4
o’clock in the morning, so that. I
must do something to avert the
tragedy and keep my prisoner
safe from harm until train time.
General Dow remained perfectly
cool and self-possessed, although
suffering from the wound made by
a ballet which had passed through
the fleshy portion of his right
arm, he did not appear at all dis
concerted by the danger that men
aced him.
“ Leaving the hotel by a back
door, we picked our way carefully
through the garden, and slipping
through a gate into an unfre-
- quented alley, we made our way
