His right arm had been amputated at the elbow. I looke<\.him over closely as he sat there, eves half closed and kee^ngl time with his foot, and I could not say that I had ever seen him be fore. “Give us a song, Dutchy!’* cried a dozen men in chorus, after he had played a spell, and lie at once complied. The first verse ran as follows: ‘Oh, doan* you see my falling tears? Oh, doan* you know dat 1 vlias sad? Dot vhile you laugh and merry vims, No home I haf to make me glad.” He had not yet finished it when I was trying hard to re member when and where I had tomers had money in their hands. This action seemed queer if not suspicious, and I followed him. In half an hour I was certain that he was a spy and had been making an esti mate of our strength. Without entirely losing sight of the man I communicated mv suspicions to the officer of the day, and the result was an ar rest. The man did not even change countenances when he found himself between the bay onet, but inarched off as if such affairs were down on his pro gramme. Upon reaching the guard house he calmly submitted to a thorough search of his pack and person. This lasted a full hour but we made no discovery of im portance. The man denied that he was ever north of the Old > river, and claimed New Orleans as his residence. He learned the song from a vagabond musi cian who visited that city, and had sung it in hundreds of Con federate camps since the war.— There was absolutely no evi dence against him, and he would have been set at liberty had I not entreated the officer to give me until next day to look up something to confirm my suspicions. I at once mounted my horse and rode through all the adja cent camps, and I found that the man had visited every one of them. He had certainly ta ken in a whole corps in his rounds and was heard of among infantrv, artillery 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 his check.

When he was brought before General , he felt that the jig was up.‘There were his own not?s to confront him. lie re fused to utter one single word, and seemed to have muds up his mind to pay the penalty without flinching. It was brief work to try, convict and con demn him, but he was never executed. On the night before his execution he died on his blankets. Ho was in the full vigor of health and years, hav ing a hearty appetite and his death has over remained a mys tery. There was no wound of any sort on his body, and of the five surgeons summoned to in vestigate all were certain that he did not take poison of any sort. After playing on his fid dle for half an hour he lay down o»i his blankets with the remark that it was his last night to sleep.

They crowded closer and were silent while he sang the second verse: “Nopody vhaits to welcome me, Nopodv cares which way I go; I vhalk alone, adown life’s path My happiness vhas turned to to woe.” I was struggling like a prison er to break his bouds. Years ago I had heard that song, and had not heard it since. It was " or iy brain, wes in { despair I happened to notice how he was holding and playing the fiddle. His right arm was gone as I have told j r ou, but with the stump he was holding the bow by a simple contrivance and with his left hand he was fin gering the strings. Indeed the sung his songs and sold his no tions, claiming to some to be selling on commissions for the sutler and to others that he was in business for himself. I returned to headquarters clean done up and mad at my self for having made such a mess of it. The man was all right and I was all wrong. I went to the guardhouse to ask him a few further questions and sudden u itTZT-T entrance roth^e^onfusq^ While I questioned him I also watched and presently I observ ed that he seemed to have a very large quid of tobacco in his cheek. Mind you I was looking for trifles*, and I no sooner noticed the fact I have mentioned than I watched to see him expectorate, and soon Stabbed with Scissors. About G o’clock to-night two barbers employed at Hudson Joy’s shop in Leader Lane got into an altercation about the closing of a door. William Ilobbs, whose ehaia was in a warm corner, wan ted it open, while L. A. McDon ald, who worked in a draught, in sisted on it being closed. McDon alds closed the door twice after Hobbs had opened it and Hobbs thereupon stepped over and again open d it McDonald started over, with his scissors in his hand, and thir.v Ilobbs on the floor and jumped on him. Charles Robb, another barber in the shop, step ped up to part the two. When Hobbs was raised he staggered as as if in a fit. A physician was summoned and ordered his remo val to the hospital, but the unfor tunate man died while being car ried in from the cab. On being stripped at the hospital a small puncture was discovered in the left side, close to the heart, which had been made by the scissors, causing the de«th in three quar tet’s of an hour. Hobbs never of being stabbed, and k-fine bad i - toruble caused by McDonald jumping on him McDonalds was arrested and lies in jail. teliij The officers of the corn- men noted for their in- itce and business sagacity, enterprise and energy, and it may be safely predicted that this canal which has been advocated for years past will now be cons iructect.—{Savannah Times, soldiers were remarking on the rea jj ze d that he was not doing £ o £ ^ novelty of it. I had not watch-, ed him thirty seconds wl*n memory came to my aid. .In the summerof 18591 made a trip to a watering place iu Wisconsin—a bridal tour. One evening as I and my wife sat on the porch of the hotel this man came along, having a little girl 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 coat there was no button there. All the others were in place, but this one was was missing. The man was talkative and even jovial, and by and by I left Mh him, ud-n he played the, hjm ^ ', ho remark \ h&l j fiddle and sang^ she ,q.ned in would g0 aud report to the offi- the chorus and -accompanied hitn on a banjo.

Tfie ; third button on his coat was live that we paid him to repeat. Three thousand one hundred and thirteen miles of railroad track were laid last year— less than any year since 1873. The chief actiriy in railroad buildings was iu the south and in the Rocky Mountain - states. Branches and extensions weio attended to, but new lines wera generally neglect ed. The longest line of the year was the one extending from Val entine, Nebraska, to Buffalo Gap, Dakota, a distance of 18i miles. At the Cochran post-offioo, last quarter, between eight and nine thousand letter stamps have been cancelled. The money oidor busi ness has retched nearly seven thousand dollars for tlio same time. We have just received a lot of |w watches, which we are offering r down. 'Come and see us. Town KtUers• A Texas exchange, in descant ing upon the test way to kill a town^ises the following beautiful language: “A curse to any town is a popu lation which is forever and eter nally complaining. People who arc always looking around them for something to criticize and condemn; who talk about noth ing except imaginary evils and fancied disadvantages by which they liope to excuse their own want of enterprise. They love to descant upon every discouraging feature, and never seem to observe i he blessings and advantages by which they arc surrounded. They delight in magnifying every possi ble evil, and in suppressing every good which may, when properly appreciated, far more than com pensate for the supposed evils and obstacles which loom up like mountains in their disordered imaginations. Let a stranger come into such a town, and in stead of encouraging him to buy property and locate, they spare no means in their possession to drive 'him away by holding up the most horrible, ghioray and discouragiug picture. If a few bales of cotton go through the tow*n in quest of a few cents more on the hundred than their merchants feci able to give, they are ready to proclaim to the world that the trade of their town is rapidly being taken away and absorbed by rival towns in the country, and practically throw up the sponge. They contribute nothing to public enterprises, such .as wliool MS***,. .and cither. eiUurpK... i«n»ic,,w far toward attracting immigra tion from the intelligent and progressive class of people, and go into spasmotics whenever a proposition is submitted to raise a small amount by municipal taxation for public purposes.— When they go abroad, instead of praising their town, its people and its institutions, they pro claim their demerits- to the world, and then wonder how it is that their town does not pros per. Such people never suc ceed in building np a town, however good their intentions, and they may be classed us so much dead .weight in the march of material progress. They are genuine town-killers- in the true sense of that term, and a majority of thatch will crush out " it , Of >5
