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.” » • ■ Charles Delmonieo, who suc ceeded his father in the manage ment of the famous Delmonieo restaurant in New York, is quiet ly weeding out the gamblers and other loud voiced objectionables who once threatened to drive bis other patrons away. • The grandchildren of Horace Greeley are said to be in want and in danger ofbeiog turned out of doors. Their mother married a man for bis good looks, and he proved to have no. other good quality. “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 ning Sun. 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 fill love; and long may he live lo reward her.—Columbus (O ,) Dis patch. 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.

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 plain the matter. 1 am a lawyer.” “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.

Tenn., Nov. 8.— Miss Emma Hohr, a well-known society belle of Huntsville, Ala , left that place yesterday morning 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.
