Pcrhnpn It was Ilie yellow moon,
Perhaps II wns I lie linds In bloom,
Upon her lirenst Hint iiIrIiI,
Tlml made meilnre to sloop mill press
Upon her lip’s soft loveliness
A klss-Hli, rnro delight!
I trembled afterward with fenr
At my audneltv. "Oh, dear,
Forgive me,” quick I said:
"I know I’ve burl your feelings,swoot."
Her Injured glance I dared not meet,
llut walked with downcast head.
Ho through the shadowy lane that night.
We passed In silence, while the light
Fell In a silvery calm;
And drowsily the summer breeze
Swept o'er the snowy clover seas,
And Itlled tlio air with balm.
When at the gate 1 coldly SHld,
“Good-night, she raised her graceful head,
And son I hoard her say,
“Hear, you might—you might," trembling
then.
"Just hurt my feelings once agalu
lie Coro you go away."

Humor of Life In ijb by Prison.
Washington Post,
Few people hitvo thought up to date
thnt there was much of n bright side to
life in Libby Prison, but thoso who lis
tened to Chaplain. McCabe’s loeture on
that subject nt the Metropolitan church
the other night, came away with an al
tered Impression. The lecture hud In
it a Rood deal of lnughtor, but quite as
much that was pathetic, and appealed
strongly to the feelings of tho old army
’men wtio made up a largo part of the
uudionce, for the lecturer was inter
rupted time and again with npplauso
that sounded Htrungely under tho usu
ally solemnly silent arches of the
church.
It was a sort of pot pnurri of tho war
and a chaplain’s experiences therein.
Tho speaker told how ho with a party
of other chaplains and,.surgeons were
captured after the first bloody met-ting
of tho Fedoral and Confederate troops
before Early’s victory was retrieved by
the historic rido of Sheridan. ‘‘Wo rep
resented to Gen. Early that we wore
chaplains and surgeons left behind to
caro for tho wounded,” said the sponk-
or, "and t he rougli old General said,
•yes, you prenchers have done more
than any other class of people in tho
country to bring on this war, now
you’ve been tulking "On to Richmond I”
und I guess wo’ll give you u chance to
got there.’
"It was no use to toll him that we
wanted to got to Richmond, but would
rather go in other compuny. We were
shipped off, and the first thing thov did
on arriving at tho ‘Hotel Libboy’ was
to register us in a large book on t he
ground lloor and then to search us for
valuables. Anything that was no good
was returned to us, but everything of
value was tuken. I hud $80, more mon
ey than I had ever had at one time in
my life. The reason was that it did
not belong to me. It was tho money
that I was to have carried North to tho
mothers and wives of soldiers that I
knew. 1 told tho man when ho took it
away from me thnt it was not mine. ‘I
know it,’ said ho, and stuffed it in his
pocket. To bo sure, I was given a re
ceipt for it and had it returned when I
was released, but it was in Confederate
notes at a ratio of 7 to 1.”
The speaker wont on to tell cf the
time they had in pris >n, of the singing
and debating societies, the law classes
they started after getting some books,
and of some of the graduates from that
class, who were now practicing before
Romo of tho highest courts of the coun
try. "It was the only time I over saw
forty lawyers in prison together,” said
the chaplain. "I don’t mean to say
that it was not tho first time that thoro
were forty lawyers that desorved to bo
in prison together, but it was the only
timo I over iieard of the fact being ac
complished."
The soldier prisoners had groat times
together, celebrating Fourth of July
with a flag made of three old shirts cut
up and sowed together. One of tho
shirts waB blue, another wus rod and
the third had boon white once upon a
time, but not then. The flag was hauled
down in the midst ofj the'r celebration
by the prison.guard, but they had the
satisfaction of finding out a few weeks
afterward that Grant had hauled down
the Confederate flag at Vicksburg al
most at the same hour.
If a man had money it was compara
tively easy to get out of prison, for ten
dollars, the speaker said, would bribe
any of the guards. But the trouble
after getting out was tho bloodhounds.
The prisoners finally got a prescription
from an old colored man for discourag
ing the bloodhounds. It was to put a
large pile of cayenne pepper on one’s
trail, and when the dog came along
with his nose to the ground and sniffed
that pepper he lost all interest in every
issue of the war tor two weoks after
ward.
Borne of tbe men cut out of the pris
on by a tunnel underneath, and Chap
lain McCabe said that the last timo be
was in Chicago be went through the
old Libby prison as it had been recon
structed there. The guide took him
into tbe cellar and showed him "tbe
very hole that the men escaped
through,” and tho chaplain said it was
the first time he knew that Chicago in
genuity could transport a hole clear
from Richmond to Chicago intact.
Tbe conclusion of tbe story was tbe
final exchange, after the speaker had 1
barely pulled through an eight woeks’
siege of typhoid fever ami tho joyous
homo-coming to wife and loved ones*
that was so different fr< m tho fate of
many that had shared with him the
hospitality of those grim old prison
walls.
A Story of Senator Coke.
New York Mall niul .FxgresH.
Senator Coke of Texas is not a light
weight, either mentally or physically,
but ho sometimes has a little fun iu his
ponderous way.
Returning from thq capitol to his
room nt tho ltP^g House ono evening,
after a te ul0UR <i (l y tlio Senate, he
i was disgusted to find his room filled
| with a lot of Texas grangers, who worn
nmking themselves very much at home.
After ho had shnkeu hands all round,
1)0 said; “>Voll f gentlemen, of course
I am always very glad to see you, hut
allow me to usk how you got up hero
without going through the usual pro*
cedureV”
”\Vo don’t know anything about tho
'usual procedure,said tho spokesman
of tho party, "but wo simply found out
the number of your room and cumo up
on tho elevator. A nigger boy showed
us tlio way, and We found the door un
locked.”
“I know you will oXdtidti mo,” suid
tho So mi tor, "but thoro is such a pres
sure of pooplo who wish to seo mo that
I am obliged to observo rigidly certain
forms. If I waive the rulo in one case
I must in others. I 'nm going to nsk
you, therefore, to comply with tho re
quirements by going down stairs again
and sending up your cards. If yoti
haven’t any cards you can gal some ut
the clerk’s desk and writn your names
on them.”
Thereupon, thinking the joke a pret
ty good ono, but willing to humor the
old man, the Texans filed out without
having reached the object of (heir
visit, and went down stairs. Iii a few
minutes a hall boy came up with eight
cards on a tray.
“Tell tho gontlomen I am ‘not at
home,’ ” said the Senator grimly, us ho
pushed tho hall boy out and lockod the
door behind him.
And that was the answer which
caused every Texan in the crowd to
suy: "Woll, I’ll be 1" und then
make u rush to the bur room to think
it over.
When Man Bogan.
According to l'rof. Dawson’s latest
utterances, it would seem that of the
•'0,000 001 years ullowod by physicists an
ilio lime for Hie formation of the earth
in l lie present state, 1,000,000 only arc
in lie ;imtI0ih1 to the kalnzoic and m «.
z »l • p'-i iod, Uej ond which it is nee I m,
lie thinks, to look lor man’s existence,
for the reason that the earth’s surfaco
was not Huit ble for his habitation.
In these last 1,000,000 years, too,
there are the eocene, miocono, pliocono
and pleistocene or gluciul period. In
tho first of these, comprising tho third
of tho whole age, traces of man are not
to be found; in the miocene and plio
eerie periods, which were both shorter
uges than tlio eocene, judging from the
thickness of deposits, uncertain evi
dences of man are found which geolo
gists generally uro skeptical about ac
cepting; in tho pleistocene period the
earth was too cold and inclement for
man’s abode upon it, and he does not
certainly appear until the post-glacial
or anthropic ago.
Tho latter is divided into tho palan-
thropic age in which men existed who
were of different ruces from the men of
our ago, und the remains of whoso arts
and customs tho rocks preserve eviden
ces of; and tlio neuuthropic, or modern
age of man, which dateH back 4,000 or
more years before the Christian ora.

bor of promlnont ministers of the

A Long Step Forward.
A'lanln Constitution. ,,
From private to commander-in chief
i< a step that fow soldiors ever take.
That’s the big step that Govornor At
kinson took yesterday, however. Ad
jutant, Gsnorul Lowman, of tlio State
militia, yesterday issued an order dia*
charging Governor Atkinson from en
listment in t,ho volunteer force. Gov
ernor Atkinson has boon enlisted as»
private in Company G, of the Fifth
regiment—the Newnan company—for
quite a long while. Being made Gov
ernor and consequently commander-in-
chief of the State’s volunteer militia, ho
had to be discharged from enlistment
as a private to accept tho higher post-
tion. Tlio order was writteu out by
Adjutant Lowman iu the usual form.
“Naturally," said Mr. Lowman yes
terday, “the volunteor militia expects a
good deal from Govornor Atkinson.
He comes from their ranks and is very
friendly toward them. We want con
siderable State aid next year, and of
course, will roly on our military Gover
nor to bo our freind.”
Ordering Coi^From Georgia.
Washington, GXt; October 31.—
Mr. Motto Smitti, who conducts a bro
kerago business iu tiiis place, has re
ceived an order for fifty car-loads of
corn.
Of course tho order could not be
filled, as tho people do not raise corn
bore except for home consumption, and
they are not prepared for marketing
and shipping even if they had tho corn:
If those Chicago people want some of
the surplus cotton they can be accom
modated. Now that cotton is below
tbe cost of production the people will
be compelled to turn their attention to
producing other things, and corn is one
of them.
