A SPY IN THE CAMP.
f
BY AN EX* CON FEDERATE.
In the winter of 1H04, when Johnston's
urmy luy ut Dalton in winter qunrton, I
made two or three excursions in the di
rection of Chattanooga, picking up more
or loss valuable information, and wns
Testing after one of these raids when the
incident I am about to relate occurred.
That Yankee spies were penetrating
our camps was a well known fact. Two
or three imd been arrested, but it was
only two or three out of a dozen, and or
ders hud been issued to all regimental
officers to ho vigilnnt and alert in seek
ing to detect the presence of strangers.
All the scouts Imd, as a matter of course,
received the samo instructions, but for a
week nothing resulted from this com
bined watchfulness.
Ono ufternoon, while sitting in the
quarters of an old friend belonging to a
brigade band, a crowd gathered mitsicU,
I heard the music of a midlc. Step
ping- v tlie door, J a German about
40 years ot^^iti the center of n circle of
soldiers sea ted on a cracker-box and play
ing the fiUrilf in a rude sort of a way as
if entirely itmmindful of their presence.
Tho man WAs in citizen’s clothes, and for
what seemed a very good reason, llis
right arm had hveir ^amputated at the el
bow. I looked him Aver Closely as lie sat
there, eyes half-closedbmd keeping time
with liis foot, and I ctXld not say that I
had ever seen him befork
Give us a song, crieA a dozen men in
chorus after he had p »yod for a spell,
and he at onco complied. Tho first verse
ran as follows;
“Oh I (loan' yon mo my fulling tears?
Oh I <loan’ you know datl vliaa sail?
Dot vhiIf* you laugh umt merry rha.,
No homo 1 haf to make me glad.*’
He had not yet fiuished it when I was
trying hurd to remember where and when 1
I hud heard it before, llis voico was
■oft and plaintive, and the air of th
aong was one to cuptivato a soldibr. Tlie f
crowded closer and were silent while be
sang tho second verse: j
“Nopody vhaits to welcome me.
Nopody care* which way I go;
1 chalks alone, adown life's path,
My happiness vliaa turned to woe.”
I was struggling like a prisoner to
break his bonds. Yours ago I had heard
that song, and had uot heard it since. It
was in vain I cudgeled my brain, but just
when I was in despair I happened to no
tice how ho was holding and playing the
fiddle. His right arm was gone, ns I
have told you, but witli the stump he
was holding the bow by a simple contri
vance and with his left hand lie was fin
gering the strings. Indeed, tho soldiers
were remarking on tho novelty of it. I
had not watched him thirty seconds when
my memory came to my aid.
In the summer of 1859 I made a trip to
a wutering place in Wisconsin—a bridal
tour. One evening, as my wife and I
sat on the porch of the hotel this man
came along, having a little girl with him.
and as he played that fiddle and sang she
joined in the chorus and accompanied
him on the banjo. This was one of the
songs he sang that evening—seven or eight
verses to it—and it was so sad and plain
tive that we paid him to repeat it two or
three times.
Now I could not say that he was not
a Confederate, but the fact that he was
not in our uniform, and that I had seen
him so far North, was enough to rouse a
suspicion. As soon as he had finished his
song he offered for sale from hit; pack,
buttons, thread, needles, pencils and
other small wares, and did a rushing busi-
joess for half an hour, He could have
sold everything right there, but he sud
denly packed up and moved away, even
when a dozen customers had money in
their hands. This action seemed queer,
if not suspicious, and I followed the man.
In half an hour I was certain that he was
a spy and had been making an estimate of
our strength.
Without entirely losing sight of the
man, I communicntcd my suspicions to
the officer-of-the-diiy, nnd the result wns
an arrest. The man did not even change
countenance when lie found himself be
tween the bayonets, but marched off ns if
such affairs were down on bis programme.
Upon reaching the guard house he
calmly submitted to a thorough search of
his person and pack. This lasted a full
hour, but wp made no discovery of im
portance. The man denied that he was
ever north of the Ohio River, and claimed
Now Orleans us llis residence. He learned
the song from a vagabond nmsienn who
visited that city, and hud sung it in hun
dreds of Confederate camps since the war.
There was absolutely no evidence nguinst
him, and lie would have been set at liber
ty had I not entreated the officer to give
mo until next day to look up something
to confirm my suspicions.
I at once mounted my horse and rode
through all the adjacent camps nnd I
found that the man had visited every one
of them. He had certainly taken in a
whole corps in his round, and was heard
of among infantry, artillery, cavalry and
even the hospitals. As a peddler he
would have done this, but as a spy he
would have done the same thing. All
the evidence I could get was that lie had
uppeured. played his fiddle, sung ids
song and sold his notions, claiming to
some to be selling on commission for a
sutler, and to others that lie was in busi
ness for himself.
I returned to hcndqunrters clean done
up nnd mad at myself for having made
such a mess of it. The man was all right
nnd I was all wrong, I wont to tho
guard house to ask him n few questions,
and it scorned to me that my sudden en
trance rather confused him. Whilo I
questioned I also watched, nnd presently
I observed that he soemed to li<* <> ■> very
lurge quid of tobir - -> lu his cheek. Mind
you I was locking for trifles, nnd I no
sooner noticed the fact I have mentioned
tb' * I watched to sec him expectorate
and soon realized that ho was doing so
This wasn’t at all natural, and I began at
his head to look him over. When I
came down to the third button on his
blouse there was no button there. All
the others were in \»l*»*i*. but this one was
missing.
The man was talkative and even jovial,
and by and by I left him with the remark
that 1 would go and report to the officer
and have him set at liberty. I stepped
out, walked around for fifteen minutes
and then re-entered the’guard-house. Tho
third button on his blouse was now in
placo, and tho quid of tobacco no longer
bulged out his cheek. When ordered to
“peel" his coal) he hesitated for ail in
stant and I saw him change countenance,
but off it came anC I carried it to head
quarters.
Every button on tint blouse was not
only a hollow cylinder made to screw to
gether, but each cuvity vas filled with
proofs to convict him as a spy. He had
worked an entire corps, and he had the
number of men, pieces of artillery, condi
tion of arms, and whatever else might bo
asked for. It must have taken him two
weeks to secure sucli full and exploit in
formation.
When he was brought before Gen.
lie felt that the jig was up. There were
his own notes to confront him. He ip-
fused to utter one single word, an<
seemed to have made up his mind to pay
the penalty without flinching. It was brief
work to try, convict and condemn him,
but he *vas never executed. On the
night before his execution he died on his
blankets. He was in tho full vigor of
years and health, having a hearty appe
tite, and liis death has ever remained a
mystery. There was no wound of any
sort on the body, and of the five surgeons
summoned to investigate all were certain
that lie did not take poison of any sort.
After playing on his fiddle for half an
hour he lay down on the blankets with
the remark tlint it was liis last night to
sleep. A guard sat within ten feet of
him and saw him apparently fall into a
sweet’ slumber, but two hours later he
was dead. — Detroit Free Press.
Had Badges On.”
“Want your sidewalk cleared off?” he
asked of a citizen of Woodward avenue.
“Just got a man.”
“Have any badges on?”
“I believe lie has five or six.”

Boil Fighting In Xcxleo.
The bull ring is an fcnclosure something
like a northern base ball ground, but
much larger, writes a correspondent from
Moxico. It forms a complete amphithea
tre, around which tho spectators sit.
The spectators pass in and out through a
door in tho high fence, over which nod
cocoa palms and other tropical trees. A
short distance from the enclosure a num
ber of houses built of stone and mud nre
located. But the immediate vicinity of
I the bull ring is vacant ground. The
j spectators are sented high above the
fighting ring, which is surrounded by. an
other fence with gates on the level with
I the ground. Through these gates tho
I bull is driven into the arena, wliile the
. fence serves ns a vaulting place for the
torredos, or bull fighters, to leap out of
the way of the enraged bull when reully
l mud. When I visited the place every-
j ono seemed ready to fight except
tho bulls. They appeared to be
j lazy. Red cloths were flashed be-
( fore their faces, and although they
■ would occasionally make a dash for the
j holder, as soon os he leaped over the
. fence the bull would become quiet. A
J Mexican, armed with a spear or lance, and
I mounted on a swift-running horse, would
try to stir the bulls into a lighting mood;
hut beyond a sudden dash for the rider,
very little fight could bo got out of the '
animals. Still it was very interesting to j
one who had never seen a bull fight, and i
even hundreds of those who had were '
willing to pay to enter the enclosure in
order to sec what might happen. It is
not an unusual thing, as I have been told,
for the bull to become so enraged as to
tear both men and horses to pieces.
When this huppens to lie the ease, the joy
of tho spectators is unbounded. Of
course the lives of tile bull fighters dc- i
pend on their agility in leaping tho j
fences nnd chiding the well-directed dash ;
of the wild animal, who is rendered more
infuriated by tho flashing of red cloaks
and other garments before his eyes. But !
no lives were lost during my visit, and
none of the torredos wero injured; yet !
tho spectators upponred to enjoy tho
sport.
Power of an Ocean Ware.
In a paper by the Rev Phillip Neale,
late British Chaplain at Batavia, in Leis- j
ure Hour, spenking of the great inundu-
tion from tho sea caused iiy the ICrakatoa
earthquake, Java, he says: “One of tho
most remarkable facts concerning tho
inundation remains to be told. As wo
wulkad or scrambled along, we wero
much surprised lu llml grent masses of
white coral lying at the side of our path
in every direction. 'Sonic of these wero
of immense size, nnd had been cast up
more than two or three miles from the
seashore. _ It was evident, as they wero
of coral formation, that these immense
blocks of solid rock had been torn up
from their ocean bed in the midst of tho
Sunda Straits, borne inland by the gigan
tic wave, and finnlly left on the land sev
eral miles from the shore. 'Any ono who
hnd not seen the sight would scarcely
credit the story. The feat seems almost
an impossible one. How these great
mosses could have been carried so far into
the interior is a mystery, and bears out
what I have said in previous papers as to
the height of this terrible wave. Many
of these rocks were from twenty to thirty
tons in weight, and some of the largest
must have been nearly double. Lloyd’s
agent, who was with me, agreed in think
ing that we could not be mistaken if we
put down the largest block of coral rock
that we passed as weighing not less than
fifty tons.
Fresh Water from Sen lee.
Mr. John Rae writes in Nature: “1 i
<now from personal experience that sal- I
•Uj fluid docs, under certain circum
stances,'percolate or" filtrate downward,
contorting sea ic.c, previously saline, into
a sufficiently fresh state to afford good
drinkhig water when thawed. This dis
covery, like a good many others of more
importable, was accidental. In passing
a piece of old ice—that is, of a former
year’s formation, which was known to bo
so by its watted and nigged outline, as
it stood some feet above the surrounding
level ice-floe—I knocked a small piece
off, and ou putting it into my mouth
found it quite fresh. Prom that time,
during sledge journeys of 1200 miles in
the spring of 1847, I looked out for some
old rougli ice, before building our snow
hut for the night’s shelter, so as to get
water quickly. Experience had taught
me that a kettleful of water could be ob
tained much more rapidly and at a far
less waste of fuel by thawing ice than
from snow, because the latter, however ‘
closely packed, contained much air, i
which, at a temperature of zero or lower,
required extra fuel to warm it up to 32
degrees Fahrenheit; a kettleful of snow
will give little more than a third of a ket
tleful of water, while the same measure '
of ice will nearly fill the kettle with I
water.” ,
