FRIENDS IN NEED. BV AN EX-CONFEDERATE. A few days before the battle of Stone River, . I . ordered . by « General , Brag ,, ru<rrf was 0 , then at Murfreesboro, to proceed to Nashville and secure information in re- ffa rd to Rosecratw’ intentions. This in¬ ” formation t . was supposed , to Ua >e in ■ p linnnrl . »ion of certain people in the city friendly to the Confederate cause, and I had but to call on them and receive it.

Ho » U was PP 1 “^ thor- “ oughly rebel, and after an hour’s conver- sation 1 fixed it with him that I was to drive his rig into the city, using his pass, deliver milk to regular customers, and then send the outfit hack by a person he named. I paid him $20 in gold for this exchange, and left his home an hour be¬ fore daylight. He lent me the coat and hat he usually wore, and I had no fear of being halted by the pickets, When I reached thc outpost I was challenged for my pass. I handed it over, but it was hardly looked at, the officer saying: “Oh, it’s you, eh! Well, I shan’t ob¬ ject if you fill my canteen.” He handed it up and I filled it. I saw him looking me over with sharp eyes, and noted especially that he fastened his eyes on a finger ring of peculiar make which I had stupidly forgotten to remove. How- ever, nothing further was said and I drove on. I was stopped twice before entering the city, but the pass took me through, and I entered upon the work of delivering milk soon after daylight. I was not only perfectly at home in the city, but the milkman had carefully lo¬ cated each customer for me. Some of the servants looked curiously at me as they came out, but others gave no heed, and I got through . , with ... ,, the work t in • a couple „ n _i n of hours without any feelings of uncasi- ness I left the horse at tl place ng amvpA - upon, notified the party who was to re- ; turn it, .. and ftn( i then then set set off oit satchel satcnei in m hand nai , to hunt up a certain person I had been recommended , to stop witn. The people whom I came to see could a«k, ..u although the city was a bee-hive of bus- tie and , excitement .. . T I did i not want to t< a nv chances by exposing myself. While making for the haven mentioned ,,, l T stopped for a moment to make a small purchase at a store. I was waiting for my rhans-e ® when I heard a soldier say to a citizen at the door: “Have you seen a man wearing a black slouch hat, a brown coat, and having a satchel in his hand, pass here?” “Seems as I did. Who wants him?” “I do.” “Oh! you belong to the provost guard. , “Yes, we suspect the fellow is a spy.” “Well, I think he passed 1 here not five minutes ago, going towards , the market „ The young man behind the counter 1 looking square in the eyes. He was me knew I was the man wanted. Presently he said, speaking in low tones: “My friend, you had better go out by the back door! You’ll surely be shot if they catch you!” 1 bowed my thanks and bolted for the alley. I got safely out on the street, and had traveled three blocks when I heard a yell behind me and saw three cavalry men coming. Right at hand was a house with a basement and the basement door was was onen open I i dashed uasncu into im,o the place, P lacL ’..... shut and locked the door and bo dly stiuck o,„ to, Tl-- no o„. i. sight 8 on the first floor, and I ascended to ,n< ; ■ econ • There was now a great fe noise in the street, anil men were pound- in I** < hall ™f he a woman ^ came A * 1 out of a bedroom. ^ " P ' J- 1 ” " ,o seeming to be in the least alarmed, “A A rebel robel s»v' spy!

There was a closet f u H 0 f male attire, ’ and I was’nt over three minutes m making an eschantre exchange. In place of a coat I put on a morning gown, clapped a smoking cap on my head, and ; when j hadlhrust my feet into a pair of 1 slippers, I disposed of my old clothes by thrusting them up the fire place chimney. i There was a loaded pipe on the mantel.

"Wo wore at his heels when he entered the basement and locked the door on us,” said the sergeant in command. “What a bold fellow; and you think he is in the house?” “I know it.” “Well, let us make thorough search. Sister Lucy, where is the cook 1” “Gone to market.” “Ah I The man may have secreted him self in tho lower part of the house. Como on.” I headed the soldiers in their search, as may be imagined it was a useless one. We looked into every place where a man might have concealed himself, and the so rgeaut finally became discouraged and observed: “It is possible he went out by the back door.” “I thought so from the first,” I replied, “but I wanted to be satisfied.” Op-Miing the back basement door, and showing him a yard with the alley gate open, I continued: “The man doubtless passed out that way, and is now two miles away.” “I ought be kicked for a fool,” he growled. “Well, I am very much obliged to you, and hope you will excuse this in¬ terruption.” “Who is thc man you arc after?” “A spy from Bragg’s headquarters, or we so suspect, He came in with a milk wagon.” and The soldiers presently departed the woman said to me : ___“'You can select a suit from thc closet and make yourself at home for the day. When night comes you will know where to go.” that That night I got the information I had been sent for. It came from peo¬ ple who expressed the confidence in their knowledge derived unconsciously from members of Rosecrans’ staff, and settled the date of his movement towards Stone River. Three days later I was back at Murfreesboro; and the news I brought made almost a complete change in tho position of Bragg’s line.— Detroit Free Press. _ Rheumatism. The name “rheumatism” is very an¬ cient, and originally indicated every form of disordered action now known popu¬ larly under the term “catching cold.” To-day, rheumatism, in its most restrict¬ ed sense, means a disease accompanied by a fever, not transferable from the sick to the well, in which one or more joints are inflamed. Iu most cases, probably over one-half, to say the least, it follows exposure to the cold after violent exer¬ cise. A sudden abstraction of heat from the surface follows, and there is a more or less marked chill followed by pain, swell¬ ing an i heat of a joint and general fever. It occurs most frequently during the cold season, say from September to April, and is most liable to attack those whose avocations expose them to sudden changes of temperature after exertion. It is most common at from 15 to 30 years of age, children under 4 and aged people being very seldom afilicted. Scarlatina and dysentery are known to render the individual more liable to become affect¬ ed. The former during the period the skin is being shed and replaced, and the latter when the patient seems to be on high way to recovery but is still weak. Profuse loss of blood is another cause that operates in a few cases, and strong excitement of the emotions, such as a fright, while the body is perspiring after excessive exercise, has been noticed to be followed by an attack in a few cas- es. There is some evidence to show that a tendency to the disease may he inherit¬ ed by the child from its parents or other ancestors. It is nearly unknown, if not quite so, among the natives of very ho and very cold climates, and is limited almost exclusively to the inhabitants e temperate zones, One attack renders th person very liable to others; and th : more times they have been- repeated tb closer they come together and the longei they last.— Globe-Democrat. 1 Uanada’g Lepers. st The chaplain of thc lazaretto at Trr ed die, N.
