Playing for Life.
ST AS EX-REBEL,
Frcm the Detroit Free Press.
When General Early made his great raid on
Washington I was scouting between his ad
vance and the city, and was captured within
the city limits twenty-four hours before his
battle Cags appeared in sight. I was dressed
in citizen’s clothes, protended to be deaf and
dumb, and claimed to have been driven out of
Eicbmond becarsc I had written threatening
letters to Jefferson Davis.
1 had been inside the fortifications for half
n day, and was slowly working out, when a
couple of yonng men, both of whom were con
siderably the worse for liquor, halted me and
wanted to fight. I had a pencil and a block of
paper with me, and I wrote:
“I am deaf and dumb.”
That made no difference with them. In
deed, they declared that it would he a novel
idea to lick a deaf and dnmb man, and one of
them give me a cuff on the ear.
In those days l weighed 1G0 pounds and had
the muscle of a prize fighter. I tried to get
away from them without further troublo, but
when they seemed determined to have a row
I gave them all they wanted, and wasn’t
many minutes about it. A crowd of soldiers
and civilians collected, the provost guard
came up, and Iho result was as I had antici
pated. 1 was arrested and carried
off to a guard-house. One of
the young men. who afterward turned
out to be related to a member of the cabinet,
followed me to the ofilco of the provost mar
shal and charged me withbcinga spy. Xoonn
seemed to cutortain a doubt that I was deaf
and dumb, as I claimed, and ray examination
was carried on in writing. I was asked my
name, age, where born and a hundred other
questions, and then searched. They found
nothing on mo of a criminating nature, and I
reasoned that 1 would he detained until after
the excitement had passed aud then turned
loose.
After being detained three days an ofiicer
entered my quarters one morning aud said to
me:
"Well, dummy, you can pact up aud get
out.”
The minntc I heard his step outside I was
on ray guard, but he spoke in sltch a natural
tone that I came near giving myself away. On
three diffcrcnt^occastanaduring the war I play
ed the part of r. deaf aud dumb man, and I tell
you it takes all the nerve and presence of mind
a man can call up. I sat facing the door, anil,
while I heard his words, I made no movement.
He came closer to me and said:
"Come, pact up your traps; you arc to ha
turned loose.”
I looked him straight in the eye without
winking, and after a 1>lb a look of chagrin
stole over his face and he motioned for me to
follow him. He took me to ’the provost mar
shal's cilice, and I was ushered into a private
room where the marshal and three or four
other officials were seated. On the way to tlia
office, ns we crossed a wide street, the officer
suddenly exclaimed:
"There’s a runaway horse—look out!”
If I hadn't been expecting soiuo such tiling
on ills part I must have betrayed myself. As
I gave no sign, continuing on with my head
down, I heard him growling:
"They think they’ve, got a sucker,but they’ll
find out their mistake!’’
I entered the office, knowing that every
trick would be resorted to to break mo down,
and my nerves were braced as if to charge a
battery of artiil.iry. I was loft standing by
the door for a moment, when one of the ofii-
eials looked up and quietly said:
"Take a scat, sir, and we’ll attend to you in
a moment.”
I made no move, but looked around the
room in a stupid sort of way. I was looking
out of the vendor.’ an to a roof when the same
official roid:
"Ton may conic forward and take this
chair.”
I stood like a ‘ tone, and ho rose np, cmie
over to me and led me to a chair at the table.
V, hen I was sealed ono of the others re
marked: -
"Write yonr name, age and last place of
residence on a slip of paper.”
That was trick number three, and it failed
as tho others had done. By and by the mar
shal wrote on a slip of paper:
"Who nro you, and where from t”
'I wrote in reply:
"I am Charles Jones, of Richmond.”
“But yon are a union mail V” suggested ono
of the officers aloud.
I saw his lips move, hut he got no sign from
me. The examination continued in this man
ner for a fail hour, the men using every arti
fice to trap me, but they failed to score a siu-
gto point. I knew they would reserve tho
sharpest trick to tho last, and was therefore
nerved up for it. At length the marshal push
ed back in his chair, pointed his linger at my
breast and angrily exclaimed:
"Where did that confederate button coiae
from?”
It was another failure. Then he turned to
his companion ami said:
"Gentlemen, its no use. The man is certain
ly deaf and dumb and ad—n fool besides!”
"We have wasted onr time,” replied a sec
ond. "He i3 not only what lie claims to be,
but may bo of great service to us. I’d have
the officer take him over to the secret try of
war.”
"I guess I will,” said the officer, and he
rang a bell and I heard the door open. Then
he turned to me, careless as you please, and
said:
“Go with tho effircr!”
It was tlioir last shot. I never moved a mus
cle until the officer approached and placed his
hand on me. I was taken hack to tho guard
house, kept a prisoner for another week and
then the disgusted marshal turned me loose in
the streets.

Etc.
when a long continued comradeship bad made
a femi-comnnmistic association of the array
nndthe little niceties of lncum ct tuum
were not so strictly observed
a.s the requirements of a rig
id honesty would demand. A uniform
hung out to air or left lying around loose, was
considered legitimate spoils to tho one who
could appropriate it. This would do very well
so long as a man had more than one pair of
breeches; hut when General Leo’s fat cook, Joe,
n parted one morning that some one had stolen
liis only pair of indispcnsiblcs, tho general
thought it time to protest.
“Have you any idea who got them, Joe?”
was asked.
“Yes, sar; some or dom fellers in the 10th
—— olier dor.”
"Weil, wrap up in yonr overcoat and I will
send over and have them found.”
Aud, calling Hunter, who was a mere lad,
too young for service, but, being tho son of
Hon. It. JI. T. Hunter, had been given a place
on tho general’s staff, the general wrote an
order directed to Colonel Wicliam, the com
mander of tho 10th, to have his regiment
searched and if'found to rcturu the stolen
breeches.
Yonng Hunter hurried away and presented
the order. When the astonished colonel could
speak for wrath he began a fusilade of oaths
upon the general and his insulting order; but
being a true soldier he hail it oboyed, going so
far as to turn out liis own kit for inspection.
But no breeches were found, and,
still burning with the indignity
put upon his command, he mounted and rode
in hot haste to the general’s quarters.
"General Lee,” he stormed, “I submitted to
year most extraordinary order and had my
command to do so, but I cannot permit such
a reflection to he put on my command alone.
I demand, sir, that you make the order gen
eral and have the entire brigade searched.”
"Very well, my dear colonel, if you say so,
certainly. It is but right. .1 should have
dene so at first, and we will Leg!.” the search
with my own quarters.”
"Yis, that is nothing but right.”
"Here Tom, fetch out my valise, C done!
Wfcbam will you be kind enough to overhaul
it,” said the general as the negro presented
the valise. Adjusting his glasses the colonel
commenced handing out tho general's ward
robe. One by one the garments were pulled out
aud held up,until at lust out came a pair of sus
picious breeches, catching them in a gingerly
manner the colonel stretched them out to their
full amplitude; they looked for all tho world
like a linge, ox hide stretched to dry.
"Weli?” asked the general.
“1 think these about suits tho de
scription,” replied the colonel. “Well, vve will
call Joe and see if lie can identify them.”
Joe was called, and having no idei that Ills
master's wardrobe had been overhauled, and
rejoicing over the prospect of recovering his
breeches, came in.
"Here, Joe, look at these breeches and see if
they are yours,” said tho colonel, holding
them up at arm's length.
“Yes, sar, Mars Colonel, dem’s mine.”
“Arc you sure of it? How do you know
they are yours ?”
“Yes, tar, I’se shore of it—whiff, whiff—I
knows 'em by de smell.”
The laugh that followed quite placated the
wratli of the colonel, as he handed over tho
breeclu s to the grinning darkey and orilorcd
him to put them on.

Happenings of the Week In the Old World—
British Farlnmcnt.
London, Fcbiuary 18.—Parliament reassem
bled today. Mr. Gladstone statdl in the house
of commons that after tho government had
concluded the financial business they had to
place before the house they would bo able to
state i art, if not the whole, of the Irish meas
ures they intended to introduce. He expected,
he said, to lie through the financial business
about the 2"d of March.
Both.houses of parliament wer cro.vdcd
when iho peets and commons met i y. Lord
Harrington took a seat behind I '; treasury
bench. He was loudly cheered b- :c conser
vatives. Tho crowd outside the -irliament
building, which usually gives an uthusiastic
reception to the prime minister, only faintly
cheered Gladstone on his arrival. There is a
general feeling of discontent over tho meagre-
ncss of the government’s statements regarding
its pioposcd Irish measures.
Leading members of the conservative party
met at Carlton club at noon to-day to confer
upon tho course the party shall pursue in re
gard to Irish affairs on tho resembling of par
liament. Lord Salisbury, lately prime minis
ter, presided. Lord Randolph Churchill and
one hundred aud fifty other prominent Tories
were present. Tho meeting was very enthu
siastic. The speeches made indicate an intnu-
ticn on the part of the conservatives to offer
the most strenuous opposition to any measure
presented by tho liberals concerning home rule
in Ireland.
London, February 10.—As a result of tho
statement that a well known baronot had as
sisted Hangman Berry in hanging tho three
Netherby burglars, Sir Claude Dccrespigny, in
an Interview today, admitted that he was tho
one alluded to. lie said that as ho. would prob
ably be sheriff' of Essex, ho desired to
gain experience in order that he might ho
pri pared, in case lie should l>o obliged to act
himself in the absence of a hangman. Ho
slept in prison during tho night, pinioned one
of the culprits himself, and generally
assisted Ccrry. The latter con
sidered Sir Claude a plucky individual,
who foes his task well. SirClaudo, who had
assisted at a previous execution at Chelmsford,
felt no qualms. He appears to tako a lively
interest in liis chosen calling.
I.ondon, February 20.—The Irish party will
hold a meeting at Onmon street hotel in this
city on St. Patrick's day. Mr. Parnell will
preside, and the object of the meeting will be
to issue to England tho ultimatum of tho Irish
pcoplo concerning home rale. As tho date
selected for this event precedes by but
five days the 22nd of March, the
date set by Gladstone for the commencement

London, February 21.—Today the social
ists marched from ail parts of London, aud
massed 50.0CO strong in Hyde park. Tho
leaders airived at the Reformers’ treo at !l p.
in. in wagonettes. Mounted police patrolled
the entrances of tho park, and strong reserves
li tre held iu readiness for any emergency.
During tho meeting 2,000 roughs, of threaten
ing appearance, gathered on Great Stanhopo
slrcct, but they were vigorously charged and
dispersed by the police. Speeches were made
fioru three platforms. Resolutions were adop
ted expressing indignation at the delay of tho
government in commencing public works for
the relief of men out of work.
Vi'hcn the meeting ended, tho
crowd moved in an orderly manner to the exit
ai Ilyde 1’ark corner. There, witliont warning,
bodies of mounted polico made a furious
rush into the crowd, especially in the vicinity
of tho leaders’ wagonettes. Many blows
were dealt, and tho polico were hooted, Tho
temper of tho crowd was rising, hut in re
sponse to the appeals of the speakers they be
haved admirably. A largo sectioa of tiio
erowd escorted the wagouettes to Victoria
street. The police continued their attempts
to disperse tlio socialists, and by tho time
Westminster was reached, the crowd had
been scattered and quiet prevailed in iho
streets. There was no attempt at rioting.
Bum.] N/February 15.—There is great ex
citement in Berlin over the apparently well
authenticated reports that Bismarck is prepar

sia against the papacy fortlic past fifteen years.

M!J.ledoeviu.k, Ga., Fobruary 20.—[Spe
cial.]—At 11 a. m. today a grand procession of
ladies and gentlemen, comprising the elite of
Millcdgcvilicand tlio surrounding country, begin
forming in front of tiic Presbyterian churcJi, and.
headed by a number of youths bearing banners
with prohibition mottoes, the procession moved
down Greene street, around the Oeoncc house cor
ncr and down Wayne to Hancock.
In front were near
TOO HUNDRED I.ADS
gaily dressed and with the blue ribbons of prohibi
tion fluttering on their breast. Next came the
Young Men’s prohibition club, about two hundred
strong, and then several hundred of every age, sex
and color. l!p tho steps of the Amusement hall
they trooped, and every available space was soon
occupied by the great throng.
On the plntlorm a largo number of ladies, with a
fair sprinkling of gentlemen, were seated.
THE ORDER OF THE DAY.
The Rev. Sam Jones, who came back from tho
distant west in response to this appeal from his
mother state, was the orator of tlio day.
Ere ilie great erowd had finished seating them
selves five hundred voices joined in tnc opening
song, and the eff ect was exceedingly impressive.
Ev t when the Rev. Mr. Hammond arose and asked
tho audience to join in the second song, the sway
ing multitude arose with one ac
cord, aud it was a scene once
witnessed never to be forgotten.
As the las* notes of the organ died away like a
rwtel echo in the distance, tlie attentive crowd
bow ed their beads while Rev. W. A. Hodge knelt
at the little table and offered
AN EARNEST PRAYER
for prohibition and tlio good of the country.
But all eyes were flxed on that tall, wiry, dark-
haired anil bright eyed crusader who has held so
many audiences spell bound with his eloquence,
and liis queer and eamtie comments.
Wcm looking, from theeffocts of his journeying-!,
he sat there villi one thousand pairs of eager eyes
gazing with interest and admiration oil the mail
who has never hesitated to carry the war into the
enemy’s camp when necessary.
After the prayer tho crowd sang, “Dare to lie a
Daniel,” amid the noise of tramp'ng feet as thy
outsiders squeezed in one by one “to hear 8am
Jones.” And yet when all were In who could got
standing room there was still a crowd outside who
stood there in the biting north w ind in liopss of
eatching even a faint echo; of the
inteiolingprocccdings within Again the crowd
jolnca ill singing "8wcci Eye and Bye." Then
A CHEAT I’ll EKR
went up ns Mr. Jones advanced to the edge of iho
platform and began:
“Ladies and gentlemen and fellow citizens of
Baldwin county:
“lam glad to stand before you today under the
circumstances. Ifthcrcis anything I despise it is
a dull time. You have a live issue before you and
I hear you are handling it in a live manner. I

County take one side or the other. I don't like a
man that is uncertain ill his choice. I think a
man that won’t take pne side or tho other may lie

You have your o.ators, and there are a great many
people who will cheer at a meeting like this and
