When Johnston was falling hack before Sherman’s advance through Northern Georgia, and before the conflicts at Lost and Pine Mountains, I was continually on the front xvith a band of scouts. We penetrated the Yankee lines time after time, but always to return to headquarters with the same report. Sherman had one of the grandest armies in the world, and iie xvas in such strength that he eouhl light Johnston in front and pass his flanks at the same time. One day, when scouting between Mari¬ etta and Etowah ltiver, the Federal cav¬ alry passed and cut off my retreat by the highways, and for six or seven hours I was obliged to secrete myself in a thicket. It was in leaving this hiding place that I came across a dog which was doubtless owned in the near vicinity, but had been frightened into the woods by the skir¬ mishing. He took to me kindly,and had dogged my heels for half an hour when he suddenly leaped aside and begun paw¬ ing- the ground at the foot of a large beech. 1 halted for a moment and saw that the earth was fresh ns if a grave had been dug. It was but natural to con¬ clude that some one had been shot near by and that his comrades had given him burial. Upon closely examining the tree I found the fresh-eut-lines: “D. 8. G.” They were not where one xvould have looked for them, hut within three feet of the ground. I had no doubt whatever that a dead man rested there, and I picked up a club and drove the dogaxvay under the impression that he was hungry and determined to get at the body. I succeeded after a couple of days in get¬ ting back into the Confederate lines, and the incident did not recur to me for long years. One summer’s day in 1870, xx’hile I was going from Rome to Cartersville, I formed the acquaintance of a stranger xvho gave his name as Charles Gains, and xvho claimed to lie a Virginian. He said he xvas looking for improved land, and had been advised to locate near Marietta. This story was straight enough, except that I did not believe he was a Virginian. He hadn’t the look nor the dialect, and xvhen I came to quiz him about certain locations around Richmond he soon be¬ came confused. I was then a detective in the employ of several railroad lines, and it was only natural for me to ask myself why this man had lied to me. I took pains to let him know that I was xvilling to answer all his questions, and directly he began asking about the section of country between Marietta and the Etowah. He wanted to know tho value of land; if much forest had been cleared since the war; if there had been any finds of treasure around Marietta, and various other things. He worked the answers out of me without seeming to he more than generally inter¬ ested, and xvhile I xvas somehow suspic¬ ious of him, could not exactly determine on what to place my finger. But he had lied. Why? I kept asking myself this question, hut could not answer it. He had a ticket to Cartersville, and be¬ fore we reached that place I had made up my mind to go with him to Marietta. What decided me was this; He sat on the outside of the seat and a passenger going to the water-cooler knocked his hat off. It rested for a moment in the aisle, and I plainly read the name “Bos¬ ton” inside in gilt letters. The name of the maker was above it, hut I could not catch it. No hat sold in Richmond would bear the name of Boston. Where did he get it? By and by I made a care¬ ful examination of his boots. He never bought them south of the Ohio. I de¬ cided the same in regard to his clothing. He xx-as trying to deceive me. What ob¬ ject could he have in view? When we reached Marietta both of us xvent. to the same hotel. I thought he began to fight shy of me and I took pains to keep out of his way. During the evening he asked several townspeople iu regard to tho country north of Marietta, and engaged of a Hvtiy man u saddlc- liorne for the next day, J did a heap of VOL. 1. NO. 30. thinking that night over the strnngcr’9 ease, but when morning came I was none the wiser for it. His horse was brought around after breakfast amf he rode off. I was tempted to get another uml follow him, but by what right? What had ho done or what was he going to do? I went up to my room on an errand, not yet decided whether to go or stay, and in tho hallway my foot struck a memorandum book. I carried it into my room, and tho first, thing my eye caught was the name inside the cover, ‘‘George Paige.” It was a well-worn book, and nearly full of en¬ tries. Most of them seemed to relate to trips between Boston and Providence, but near the back end I found one read¬ ing: “About ten miigs north of Marietta, Ga.; turn to right where highway bends to left; go into wood* about ten rods; look for twin beech tree, with initials ‘D. 8. G.’ cut low down.” My heart gave a jump. That was the spot where the Yankee cavalry run me into hiding, and these were the initials I had seen on the tree! Hud this stranger come dowu to unearth a skeleton? I was wondering over the matter when I heard the clatter of hoofs and knew that he had returned, lie had discovered the losa of his book. Now, then, I did what you may call a mean trick. I pocketed the book, got downstairs without being seen, and went to the nearest Justice and de¬ manded a warrant for the arrest of George Paige for robbery. Before he had ceased looking for his lost memorandum a con¬ stable made him prisoner. Meanwhile I had engaged a horse and wagon, bor¬ rowed an empty tea-chest and a spade, and, as Paige went t.o jail, I drove out of town. I wanted to unearth that skeleton myself. It was six years since I had L$ft it, but I had but little difficulty in finding the grnve, although the beech tree had been cut down. Indeed, I walked almost straight to it, and, though the initials were indistinct, they were there as wit¬ nesses, In half an hour I had unearthed the “corpse.” lie, or it, consisted of a rotten coffee-sack wrapped around a moldy blue blouse, and inside the blouse were three gold watches, $430 in gold, $1,203 in greenbacks, half a dozen gold rings, a line diamond pin, two gold bracelets, a gold-lined cup, a full set of cameo jewelry, a solid silver back comb, and about four pounds of silver spoons and forks, the whole find being worth tu me nearly $8,000. The stuff had been deposited there by two or three or ]ierlirt)>s half a dozen fora¬ gers, and much of it had been stolen front the dead on the battle fields. When the treasure had been secured I drove on to Cartersville, and from thence sent the horse back and telegraphed to Paige my regrets at his situation, as I had discovered my mistake in accusing him. He was held a day or two and discharged. Ife rode out to the spot, found the treasure gone, and left the State without a word as to what his real errand had been .—Detroit Free Press. Genius of the Mexican People. The Mexican government, poor as you call it, nevertheless supports 10,000 pub¬ lic schools, where you can see the poor Indian hoy with his slate ami primer, as well as the young man or young woman, solving problems in mathematics, chem¬ istry, etc., with facilities equal to many colleges in the United Btates. If you pass through the Academy of San Carlos you will see pictures executed by native Mexican artists in the highest style of art, comparing most favorably with any production of the academies of design of Paris, Rome, Munich, or elsewhere. Go with me, if you please, to a narrow lane in the small hut picturesque city of Cuernavaca, and there in a small room, working with iinpliments of his own make, you will observe a native, xvhom you would perhaps class among the peons, carving a crucifix in xx-ood, so highly ar¬ tistic, with the expression of suffering on our saviour’s face so realistic that any foreign sculptor of the highest renoxvn would he proud to call it a creation of his own. Again, visit with me the village of Amatlan de los Reyes, near Cordoba, and observe the exquisitely embroidered hui- pilla of some native woman, surpassing in many respects the designs of the ait needlework societies of Nexv York or Boston—not to mention the fine filagree work, figures in clay and wax, as exe¬ cuted by the natives in or near the city of Mexico, the art of pottery of Guada¬ lajara, the gourds, calabashes, and wooden trays highly embellished by na¬ tive artists whose sense or acceptation of art is not acquired by tedious study at some academy of design, but is inborn and spontaneously expressed in such creations. Only yesterday, in my walks about town, I entered the National Monte de Piedad, xvhere I heard the sweetest and most melodious strains from agrand piano of American make, and beheld, to my astonishment, that the artist was a na¬ tive, a cargador, or public porter, clad in cheap sombrero, blouse, xxhite cotton trousers, and sandals, with his brass plot; and rope across his shqyhlers, ready to carry this very instrument on his back tc the residence of some better-favored brother from a foreign Iftlul- )f<ukai, Financier,
