was Dugal, “That Coward!” Bui
though the body of his parent lay
within his reach, her spirit iiad
fled not an hour before. The |>oor
woman h-id bravely borne up
against the ill repute of her son
but he having the long, clear head am ) tbc neglect of her former
of his Scotch ancestry, could easi friends, but bard work and the
ly see what such promises were j ( |uiet inward suffering of wounded
worth, when all about him were as j pride had worn her out at last, and
poor as himself, and when the
whole country was quickly be
coming depopulated of every
available man on one side or the
other. So lib stuck to his resolu
tion, and in a little time was the
only able bodied young man in his
section.
And all scouted him and avoided
him. and with finger and tongue
pointed him out as "That Cow
ard.”
It wa9 hard on a young fellow of
twenty, who had before been so
popular for those feats of strength
and agility that are there so high
ly estimated, and who bad been
respected so greativ for his coin
mou sense that his elders often
at the last only had she seemed to
understand how and why her son
had acted as lie did, and with her
parting breath she blessed him
and tohl him lime would make
things all right.
As the stalwart youth sat there,
wondering in his misery to whom
he eould apply for help, he heard
the tramp of horses on the road.
He heard them hall. There was
a shout.
“Hello, there! house.”
Motioning the old negro woman,
their only servant for years, to go
out and see what was required, he
resumed his moody silence and
posture.
How long the woman had gone
would be
whom he could depend incase he placed before an open, shallov
did rot retain, for paying the last
service to that cold clay that lie
left; then went and kissed the lips
of his dead mother and strode out
into the dalkness.
Swift as a deer, quiet as a pan
I > her. he made his way to the Dean
house by paths that would lie in
accessible to cavalry. If Allen
were there his plans were already
made. The friend of youth must
he in biding, and Dugal knew the
old homestead so thoroughly that
he was certain where to find him.
He reached the back of the house
just a* the troop drew up before it.
Quickly lie climbed on the roof of
the “lean to,” and quietly he en
tered the little apartment. A few
rays of the moon showed him a
gaunt form stretched out upon a
hastily made bed on the floor. He
knelt down ami put his hand up
on the figure. In an instant the
man rose up, tried to grapple with
him, then tell back with a groan
“Allen, man! Allen dear! Its
me, Dugal. Do nothing, say noth
ing. Tbej' shall not lake you.”
There was a noise at the door,
the scream of an elder and the
wild protestations of a younger
woman were mingloei with the
gruff, firm voice of a man.
“We'll search the house, miss,
and if he ain’t here there’s no
harm done but search it we must
aud will.”
Dugal was busy all this time,
aud as Jennie with her frail body
was trying to bar the entrance of
the officer and his men, behind her
appeared a figure in butternut, a
ragged attempt at uniform.
“Don't harm my mother and
sister, I will go with you,” said the
new arrival.
Jennie gave one glance and
sank senseless upon the floor; the
old mother was long since blind
and speechless from fright.
Gladly the troops secured their
prisoner and hurried away from
such a scene.
It was early morning when they
reached the headquarters of the
command. The colonel was a man
grave.
Five minutes and all
over.
A sorry looking mule came
forcing its way along the road.
On it was a young man who
swayed from” side to side with
weakness, aBd whose thin cheeks
burned with fever and excitement.
So sudden and strange was his
appearance that he forced himself
through the line before inlerfcr
ence was thought of, and tottering
toward the condemned he threw his
arms about him; then facing the
troop, he cried:
“I am Allen Dean; I am a rebel.
This is Dugal Moore, and a true
Union man.”
There was a con fusion, of
course. There was inquiry, for
the colonel, though hard, was
just.
“Why did you personate this
man?” he asked.
“He was my friend before the
war.”
“Has lie a sister?” asked the
shrewd commander.
“He has. sir,” replied Dugal,
and his pale face blushed.
“I thought so; there’s always a
woman in it,” said the colonel to
himself, but lie said no more.
Dugal was set free. Allen re
inaincd a prisoner, but was re
leased in tunc to attend the wed
ding of Jennie and Dugal.
The former “reb,” unfit for ser
vice, staid at home. Dugal en
tered the Union alttty, served
through the war, and left it with
high rank. Many are the honors
that have been hea|ied upon him
and many more he will yet receive
at the hands of those who once
branded him as “That Coward.”
Secretary Lamar is quoted as
saying the oilier day to a Senator
who is a close personal friend: “1
am going out of this office after
Congress convenes, and I am glad
of it. I will then be rid of the an
noyances ami troubles that the
occupant of the office necessarily
has to contend with.”
Another View or it.
Washington. November 2.—
Judge Albion W. Tourgee has
been asked what he thought of
General Jackson's s|ieecli at Ma
con. He replied: “I think Gen
eral Jackson’s speech the best
thing I have read sinee Lee sur
rendered.”
“Thai’s rather a novel view of
it,” suggested the repor e-. “Very
many northern men regard it as
highly treasonable.”
"Very many northern men are
fools. They are everlastingly
proclaiming that the soutli has
accepted the arbitrament of the
last argument of kings, when they
ought to know, if they don't, that
they know nothing about the
south, anil very much less of the
southern people. General Jaek-
son's speech is the most truthful,
the most manly utterance which
lias been given to the real senli
incut of the people. I admire him
for it greatly.
“The people ef the north do not
understand southerners. They
can not understand, because the
southerners are a people as dis
tinct and unique as two people
can lie in some particulars. They
are two peoples, and always have
been. Some imagine that slavery
was th» cause of the war. It was
not. It was only the excuse. The
peoplcufthe south have always
demanded the sovereignty of their
slates, and they detnaod it yet.
Logically and consistently they
have followed up that idea ever
since the revolution. They have
character, individuality and pride.
They resent interference willi
their affairs. People talk of the
dying out of the old sentiment.
It is all nonsense. The south
lias not changed. The north has
changed a dozen limes sinee the
revolution, hut the south does
not change like a weathercock.
“The south is solid' because it
is a united people, possessing
some sentiment in common suflic
ienlly strong to keep them solid.
Why, look at their conduct du
ring the war. They were united.
In the north we were divided,
and only by the skin of our teeth
were the} - defeated, not conquer
ed. They submitted to jieaee
and surrendered only when the
hope of success had vanished and
they were famished and suffering
for the actual necessaries of life.
“The new south, as it has been
called, is only a few northern men
who have gone there to make
money. They welcome capital.
So does every people, and they are
right. The new south is coming,
however, and when it comes the
people of the whole world wilt* be
able to recognize it without being
told. They will show it by that
individuality, competence aud
honesty which the limes and
needs of our country demand.”

“The business man who has
learned to advertise has acquired
one of the principal elements of
success,” said a printer of some
experience. "The secret of adver
tising is not so much to have
the notice read as to have it be
iiered. To lose the confidence of
the public is to lose your trade.
If you advertise in an undignified
manner people begin In look upon
you as a fakir and your goods as
shoddy. The largest advertiser
in Philadelphia set the example
of taking the public into his con
fidence and announcing his goods
in an unassuming manner. His
style has been adopted by nearly
.i*il the leading houses. A person
of refinement doesn't like to be
admonished by a tradesman not
to be a chump,"and lie pays little
heed to'tlic man who tells him
that his prices 'knock the spots
off a speckled pig.’ When you
want a suit of clothes the last
p’aee you think of going'tois the
store that advertises 'gent’s pants.’
lo come hack to my own trade,
there are few printers in thejiusi-
ness now. They are all either
typographers or typographical
artists, and t know of one man
who advertised himself as ‘a j
worker in the black art and a
manipulator of the adjustable al
phabet.’
“There was a personal in one
of the Sunday p ipers some lime
ago of a'literary gent of world
wide reputation.’ That fellow
betrayed himself by one word,
and probably never knew how he
did it. One need n't *go far to se>'
the questionable taste of many
storekeepers. Boots and shoes
are advertised as ‘foot gear,’ fish
as ‘sea food' and liquors as ‘wet
goods.’ The men who peddle
grapes from push carts at three
cents per half pound haveja habit
of turning down one end of their
paper signs so that the word 'half
is hidden. The man who com
plains of short measure has the
sign straightened out for him.
When he has gone the sign is bent
back again.—New York Eve

Mrs. (Jordon.
The wife of Gen. Gordon is a
woman at whose feet the greatest
of earth might how, and think it
an honor. If ever there breathed
noble woman, if ever there lived
a devoted wife, that woman and
that wife is Mrs. John B. Gordon.
From the time her husband en
tered the war to the day he emerg
ed from its suffei ings, its dangers
and its glories, she was ever al
his side. In the thick of the bat
tle she was near by to watch
him; in his hours of despondency
she was there to console anil en
courage him; in all his awful
sufferings she was his faillfful
nurse and best physician; and in
the hours of his triumphs she
was the first and last to to con
gratulate and to cheer him. Sure
ly. greater wifely love and devo
tion than this no angel ever re
corded. Truly, to possess such
love and devotion is to enjoy
Heaven’s highest boon. Long
may she live to enjoy her bright
est reward, her husband's grate

Yoke Fellows in Bondage.
Atlanta. Nov. 9.—Comptroller
General Wright wore a bright
smile on his handsome countc
nance this morning as he looked
over the returns of the election in
New York. He explained it to
your correspondent by saying that*
lie and Fellows were in prison to
gether at Johnson's Island, and
i he comptroller was thoroughly de
lighted with the big majority giv
en his former yoke fellow in New
York.
Fellows was a captain ofan Ar
kansas company, and when he got
to Johnson’s Island was soon the
light oftlie prison. The comptrol
ler speaks of him at that time as a
brilliant mail and a gallant soldier.
In tbe debates with which the
prisoners were accustomed at
times to relieve the monotony of
their confinement. Fellows was the
leader and champion. Frequently,
when he had the floor for a speech,
the Federal guards would come in
and hear him through. The comp
troller has his autograph in his
prison album. When your corres
pondent left him he was writing a^
letter of congratulation to his old
prison comrade.

A man was up before a Mon

that lie had blazed away at a
man with a big revolver at cloee
range and subsequently extracted
$50 from his pocket while ha was
disabled.
“This is evidently a case mf
highway robbery,” said the judge,
“and perhaps attempt lo kill. I’ll
have to hold the prisoner without
bail.”
“If your honor will give me s
chance to say a word,” remarked
the prisoner. “I think lean ex

“Well, go on,” replied the
judge.
“I had an account of $50
against this man. which had been
placed in my hands for collec
tion. I went about it, closely fol
lowing tbe usual practice in our
territory and got the money.”
“Oh, well," replied the court,
“if it was a legal matter like that,

to visit friends in Ibis city. At
Chattanooga she was placed on
the Georgia division train instead
of the main line train on the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad the mistake was not dis
covered until after the train had
left the main line two miles from
Osltcwah junction. The conduc
tor, in taking tip the fares, dis
covered that her ticket read to
Knoxville, instead of Atlanta, and
slopping the train, pul her off in
an open field. It was after ten
o’clock at night and she started ta
walk back to Oollewah junction.
She had gone but a short distance
when two drunken men approach
ed her and offered to escort her.
She promptly refused lo go with
them and they insisted. Finally
they got tofquarrelling'almut who
should act as escort, and she es
caped by running ‘through a field.
She fell down and was severely in-
jured, but managed to find her
way back lo the junction, where
she wns coin [Killed to wait twelve
hours for a train. She has not yet
decided to bring suit againt the
