FERGUSON, President. II. J. REID, Secretary. Detroit Free Press. There lire few men and women in the country who don't remember that cold New Year’s day which ushered in 1863. Horses chilled nnd died 'in the camps of Virginia, and men bo far South as Charleston had their feet frost bitten. 1 was then scooting the Rappahan nock along Burnside's front. In the last days of December I crossed the stream about sis miles above Frede ricksburg, evaded the Yankee picket' and spent two davs in the Union camps. I was bandy with tbo shears and razor nnd I went from tent to tent ns n soldier barber. Aa I bad on a Federal uniform I was a spy in stead of a scont, nnd arrest meant death meted out in the promptest manner. Whilo I was not insensible to this fact, I nevertheless took mat ters in such an outwardly cool man ner that I was never once questioned and no suspicions were aroussd, until just before I intended to leavo camp of ray own accord. I shaved only officers, and in the two days I picked np considerable money and quite n little information —enough, anyhow, to prove that the great Federal army was preparing for permanent winter quarter-, and that no cavalry raid’ were planning for a dash nt the south shore. About four o'clock on the afternoon of the second day I whs called upon to shave a lieutenant of artillery, whom I at once recognized ns a form er citizen of Atlanta. He was of Northern birth, and ns soon as the war broke out bo left Georgia for the North. I bad lived in Atlanta for a year previous to the war, bt-iog engaged m blncksmitbiug, and I remember that this mau—n Mr. Taylor—was a patron of our shop, was a journeyman, and I could not remember whether wo had ever spoken. Three years most have cliunged me somewhat, and I felt that my chances of being identified by him wore very slim. Nevertheless I had not finished the operation of lathering when tno Lieu tenant quietly remarked: "When did ycu leave Atlanta?” "Atlanta ?” "Yes." "Why, sir, Atlanta is in Goorgin and still in the linnds of the rebels.'' “I know it." “But I was never there.” "Ob." Did he re'eogniza me ? If ho thought, he did my ody way was to bluff him. Ho kept searching ray face with his black eyes' and as I got ready to shave him ho continued "Old Peters, your boss, was a pret ty good fellow. He came near buy ing my house on Peachtree street.” “Sir!" I said, ns stood hack and looked him full in the face, “I may resemble some one you euw in the city of Atlanta, hut I am president of Lancaster, N. Y., and belong to the Twelfth Infrautry.” "Uinpb!’’ he grunted. There was no further conversation ! between us Had I bluffed him off?” i While hoped ho, I had my doubts, i Ah I left the tent he looked after me i am prepanxito give mn.icii tiiarrnction on .111 in a manner full of danger, and 1 at string and niiASs INSTRUMENTS. vii>ti,i a once determined to leave the locality.

I started nt once, an I dodging around t-nts and huts, and turning up this street and down that, I was soon half a mile away. | If the Liententnnt suspected me, ; what would he do? Men might be ! seal oat to dog me. As I passed an J empty ti nt, the owners of which were on gnnrd or' detail, the idea came to me to disguise myself. In a brief ten minutes I had my whiskers off, und with a bit of coal had blackened my eyebrows aud produced a decided change in my appearance. I was only well out of the tent when a cor poral and two men Lulled me, looked' into my face, and the corporal said: “We don’t want you—go pi).” Did they want the rebel *py? I was in hot water, nnd the best way out wu8 to leave the camp. I threw my barber’s outfit into a ditch, and, assuming to be jolly drunk, made my way towards the river. It whs ensy enough to pass the camp guards, but the outer pickets and videttes were a different sort of men. I found, too, the pickets were on the alert, proba bly having received orders from bead- quarters, nnd as the night shut down, the weather changed to a cold roib with a north wind. My .attempt to pass ont where I came in was a failure. The pickets hnd been doubled, and twico I was shot at as almost ran npon'lhe men. I kept working np the stream, hop ing nil tho time find an opening, aud the weather kept growing colder. The rain changed to bail tind sleet, nnd by 10 o'clock my garmont was so stiff with ice that I could scarcely bend a limb. It wns useless to at tempt anything in this condition, nnd after a weary search in the darkness I found shelter in it thicket nnd de termined to wait for an abatement of the storm. Within an hour I was little better toan a chunk ol ice, but I bung od until midnight, my teeth chattering, my blood taming to icp, and the bit ter cold biting away at my eurs until they had no more feeling thaiv blocks of wood. I must get ont of that or freeze to death, but when I attempted to leave the thicket I fell down, rolled over, and had the hardest kind of task to get upon my feet and start my legs in motion. My pace wns a sort of hobble, and my sufferings were such that I headed direct for the river, determined to surrender to the first picket I encountered. How I passed the infantry pickets I know not; bat when within a few rods of the stream I came upon a horse standing under a tree. He was saddled nnd bridled, but had his head down nnd was shaking and groaning with the cold. Not two rods away wns his rider—the vidette. The man had dismounted to thrash his arms about, nnd, overcome by the drowsiness which I bad fought off with desperation for tho last two hours, hnd sat down and fallen asleep and bud probably frozen to death His knees were drawn up, bis bead down, and the hood of his overcoat was druwn over his face. I laid my hand on his shoulder, but bo did not move. I gave him a push and he rolled over a stone. I went back to the horse and led him np and down until we bad both thrown oft the lethargy nnd produced a circulation, aud thou I climbed into the saddle aud urged him into the river. It was the coldest passage man .or horse ever made, but I got safe into Secessia with the steed and his outfit, nml had obtained all the information I was sent to collect. A PARADISE. ArMtuu Traveller. It is u difficult matter to impress upon the miod of the' rural man of Arkansas the necessity of paying im mediate attention to the heathen. Daring a campoieeting in Saline county, a preacher from Little Hock made an eloquent appeal in favor of the poor wretch who eats harmless missionary instead of eating hurtful bulk pork. When the preacher had concluded, an old exhorter arose and said: “Brethren, I've been .migbt’ly in terested in this Teotioneering fur the heathen, anil I would now like to kuow something about him." Then addressing the minister who bad just takeu his seat, the exhorter said: "Brother, I would like to ask you a few questions. The boys say they are waiting to see wbat stand I take, so you won’t object to a few questions, will you ?” "Certainly not." "Thankee. Well, now, is politeness in.the heathen’s country ?” “He knows nothing of politeness. “Ah, hah. Well, bow’s the ques tion of capital nnd labor?” "There is no capital—no labor.” “No strikes?” “No." “Got no canderdates ?” “No candidates.” “Don’t have to wear no clothes, if I understand the situation.” “No lawyers there, I reckoD.’ 1 “No lawyers." Well, parson, that’s the country I am looking for, nnd if an immigra tion agent was to come here he’d ketch every sensible man in Saline county. Boys, I don’t think we can. give Mr. Heathen anything. It would be ns foolish as hauling water nnd pouring it into the river.” Eatables on Ocean Steamers. A comp my < f Utah Mormons have purchased 1,000,000 acres of laud in Northern Mexico, aud preparations are being earnestly made for the loca tion of a colony of Mormons there. It is uiuleistood ttmt this colony will nsist of polygamous Mormons, and the hope is entertained that the ques tion „f Mormon polygamy in the United Stales will be thus peaceably solved. There is nothing in this movement to which American people ran obieci. The Scientific American says: Few persons are nwnro of tbo extensive nature of victusling on board the great ocean steamers. Such n vessel is provisioned ns follows for the pas sengers and crew: 3,6001b. of butter, 8,000 hams, 1,600 lb. of biscuits, ex clusive of those supplied for the crew, 8,000 pounds of grapes, almonds, figs, and other dessert frails; 1,6001b. of jams and jellies; tinned meats, 6,000 lb.; dried beans, 3,000 lb.; onions, 6,- 000 lb.; potatoes, 45 tons; floor, 300 barrels, and eggs, 1,200 dozen. Fresh vegetables, meat and live bullocks, sheep, pigs, geese, turkeys, ducks, fowls, fish nnd casual game, are gen erally supplied at each port, so that it is difficult to estimate them. Proba bly two dozen bullocks nnd 60 sheep wonld be a fair average for the whole voynge, nnd the rest may bo inferred in proportion. Daring the summer months, when traveling is heavy, 25 fowls are often used in sonp fora single dinner. Bill Nye says: “Don't attempt to cheat an editor out of a year's sub scription to his paper, or any other sum. Cheat the minister, cheat the doctor, chest anybody nnd everybody, bnt if you have any regard for fn- turo consequences, don’t fool with the editor. You may be up for office sometime, or want some public favor for yourself, or some of your friends, and wbeo yonr luck is n “thing of beauty and a joy forever,” the editor will open upon you and knock yonr aircaBtles into a cocked but at the first fire. He will subdue you, and then you will cuss your stupidity for a driveling idiot, go and hire some man to knock yoa down and then kick you for falling. HE GOT HIB DRINK. A travel-stained rounder ffoiited in to the oily Saturday. He was a drink ing man, and the long, dusty ride nnd occasional foot races with brakemea en route rendered Giles MeMullin very thirsty. Se be walked into a “barrel house,” and pulling oat a large, opaque glass' bottle, banded it to the dispenser of aloohol and loftily told him to “fill it with something real good good upd strong.” “All right, sir,” said the seller of animation, with rather a dubious smile, and turning the spigot of one of bis barrels, filled the bottle to the neck. Mr. Giles MoMnllin watched the gargling current of happiness! with a complacent countenance. “Fifty cents, please,” said the li quor man, as be corked the bottle. “Say, boss,” chirped Giles, “I’ve only got fifteen cents.” The man of liqnor wrutbfully pour ed the nourishment back into the bar rel. “Here, take yonr bottle and get ont of here,” be growled, ns lie. tossed tbe bottle to Giles. Mr. MeMullin carefully put the bot tle into his pocket. Walking to a metal yard he sat down, and drawing out tbe bottle be pushed a stick down through the neok. Then he took a real good swallow and lay down to sleep on a pile of pig-iron. There wns a big sponge inside that bottle! AN OBJECT LESSON. “Papa, how do nations get into war with each other ?” asked Tommy Sea- sonby. “Sometimes one way, sometimes another,” said the father. “Now there are Germany Kid Spain—they ofime near getting into a war because a Spanish mob took down tbe German flag.’’ “No, my dear,” pat in Airs. Season- by, "that wasn’t the reason.” “Bat, my darling,” said Mr. S., “don’t yon suppose I know? You are mistaken—that was the reason.” “No, dearie, yoa are mistaken. It was beenuso tbe Germans—" “Mrs. Seasonby, I say it was be cause—’’ "Peleg, yoa know better. You are only trying to—” Madam, I don’t know that your opinion was assed in this matter, any way.” Well, I don’t want tuy boy in structed by od old ignoramus.” 'See here, yon impudent—” “Pat down thatcaoe, yoa old brute. Don’t you dare bristle up to me, or I’ll send this rolling-pin at yonr head, yon old—” “Never mind,” interrupted Tommy, •T guess I know how wars begin." Tho negroes in Georgia enjoy ex cellent educations! advuMnnis. They have three well organized colleges iu Atlanta and are building a fourth. One thousand young negroes attend ed tbe three colleges daring tbe last term. Besides there were two thous and negro children iu tbe public schools of tbe city. A high standard of scholarship has been established at the collrges and tbe average profi ciency of the students is fine. At two of the colleges industrial schools are in operation and some fine speci* mens of workmanship are exhibited in each as the result of the educated manual labor of tbe students. ' There are. no better school* fur the negro than those of Atlanta, and none have shown better work. The risitog gen eration of negroes is undoubtedly bt - iug educated. We are told that nothing was jn.tde in vain. But how about a fasiiioim- ble girl ? Isu’t she uiaideu vain ?
