Mrs. Masok.???The w??r w???? prolific of
many heroines, it was iny fortune, in I8fl2,
to meet np with a lovely little lady who
figured usefully for a while as a confederate
partisan. Her name was Mrs. Mason. She
was the wife of one of the Virginia Masons,
who, at one time, held some position on
General Lee's staff. Bhe had lived in Pah 5
?? >ong while, and had acquired that re
markable French vivacity that la a?? c
log in a handsome womsn. She bad n??
lived altogether harmonious y with her
band, and they were separated by consent,
she retaining their one child, a handsome
little boy.
Mrs Mason remained a long time InWaak'
ington after the war brgan, and conducted
a secret and valuable correappndence wtt
General Beauregard, giving constant
Portant imformatlon of federal pl??n??
movemen a. Hhe was finally dltcovered and
imprisoned (or eome time. She was then
turned loose upon condition of h er

ening her if sue ever returned north. She
name through the lines and was taken to
General Beauregard's headquarters. She had
couducted her correapondenus through
General Thomas Jordan, his chief of staff
bttween whom and bereelf a very wav??
friendship existed.
The writer of thia article met her in Mo-
bile in June, ldflj, after the evacuation of
Corinth, General Beauregard had fora while
retired from active command on account of
in health. Tire wrller bad Juat ceen re
leaatd from federal captivity under a special
exchange, and had come south on a fifteen
d*ye leave of abtence from General Hal
leek, commanding the federal army, to find
the federal officer designated for exchange.
The writer met Mrs. Mason in Mobile and
brought her to Catoosa springs with her lit
tle boy under hla charge.
Mis Mason wrs a moat lovely brunette.
Her figure had a blended lltlieneas and full
Htr r * ct w ** exquisitely beautiful,
Her features were all flutly cut, her eyes
blsck and brilliant, her color rich and
healthful. She dressed with perlaoi taste
aiid elegance, and she was the very inoarua-
tlon of symmetry and grace. She was refined
???mt full of sprlghtlineaa. She wen well read
and Intelligent. She had seen much of the
world and men, and passed to rare advant
age She was a moat delightful companion
when aha chuae to be, something that did not
always hsppeu, Mbs was to some extent co
quettish, but ass general thing aha did not
cue much lor gentlemans society. Bhe was
nther oold and ambitious. I reraembtronca
I told her General ??????, a distinguished offi'
oar, and Captain Hvrry Flash, the poet,
wished to belt ' ' "
??rit/ r iHBi mo
??? . nlroducedtober. Sheprompt
ly replied: ???Oh, don???t trouble me with the
general, but the poet l wt??h to aee."
I lost sight of her until later in the war I
henrduf her at Oharleaton, when General
Beauregard was lu command there. Alter
the war ahe lived In Bsitlmora a while.
Mra. Mason performed some valuable
vice for tho confederacy. Her narration of
her insncurersln Washington City in getting
fediral inicllljaoc* anu her rieka iu tending
It out scroaa the lines wero very Interesting
She hsd some lively experiences. 8ho ultl
xuatelywas discovered, ami for along tlmo
her Ills was in danger. She ???uirered both
littukltlMMIslir and tlK (pjprehenilon of
death. Herspiilta never faltered otidih
ferrsd to her daring record with pride.
OagiaAL Kami. VanDorh,-???My first ac??
qualntance with General Karl VanDorn waa
in Miaaiaalppl alter the battle oi Shiloh. He
waa a very raluableofficer, hut an Irrepreslble
man after the fair sex. He was a very small,
handsome person, not over live and a hall
feet high with blue eyes and an unusually
flue aet of white teeth, Ho and General
Hindman were both noted for their disposi
tion to be tender 10 women, and laitli got
in serious trouble about it, General VanDorn
paying the penalty o! hla life at the bands
of an outraged husband, and General Hind
man being oaaaaaluated In his own house at
night, some vengeful foe shooting him at
night through the window sttilug at bis lire
side with hie family. General Hiudman also
was a very handsome man, and a gallant
soldier.
General VanDorn had military genius. He
was possessed of courage and skill. He waa
both daring and strategic. He was an excel
lent muter of the art of war, and had the
capacity, very rare, of handling large bodies
of troops independently.
VauOom wu an orgsuiter, too, as well as
a fighter. He had very largely that peculiar
quality of Stonewall Jackson, of pressing a
foe wlthont any let up. lie wu persittout
and energetic. He kuew the value of m i-
menu, and used every possible despatch in
hla movements. He wu like Konst lu this
respect lie had a trick of Using the enemy
unaware*, the celerity of hla nioverueuU out
stripping anticipation.
VauDoru believed iu fighting. Iu every
council of war he was for battle, ami it must
be confessed be sometimes took chattels,
tnisiiug to the nluck of his men in overcom
ing superiority of numbers. He wu a won
derful assaulter, and was an uucquslled
leader to uke chugs of a storming move
ment. No disaster ever diminished liis
courage and hopefulnris. He evidently
loved danger and courted peril. He had a
bull dog spirit that mad* him cling to bis en
terprises with an uuyirldiug tenacity.
VanDora???a extrication of bis army after
the repulse at Coriutb wu a masterpiece of
generalship. He had hie defeated army of
11,000 men and -HO wagons. General Ord
confronted him with 10,000 federal, auil
Boeecrans wu behind him five mills, at Tut-
cumbia bridge with a),000 federal*. He
drove Ord back, struck Kosecrsns heavily,
???ud then slipped out from between them
Without the lose of a wagon.
When h* wu killed in IStn, in middle
Tennessee, be wu at the head of llrsgg's cav
alry. He wu just on the potni of making a
raid witb 8,000 men across the Ohio river.
His death lus???. us u valuable a cavalry ithcer
as we had, whose future no man could have
mtuured. It mutt ever remain a matter of
profound regret that he died in the maimer
la which he lost his life. It seems pldftil
that ao noble and capable a soldier should
have been marred by an imperfection so se
rious as hit libertine tendency. It wu a cu
rious iuc jngruity that he combined witb thia
evil proclivity or cruel disregard for female
virtue a lender aemibility for children. His
hindse me appearance aud charming man
ners, hit delightful agreeabilily and gallant
demeanor and record u a soldier made a
combication of qualities very wttracliie to
women, ??nd it seems deplorable that these
winning e lements of fucinatlon ahoulJ have
been used for wrong purposes. Few men
perhaps an able to resist strong temptation.
To the credit of the masculine sex lew men
???Dgege deliberately and generally in the
overthrow of female purity. And when they
do, no powers of mind or person can prevent
the Inevitable penalty sooner or later that is
legitimately due to such conduct.
VanDorn perished in the very tide of a
great and heroic career. Had he lived be
would unquestionably have become one of
the but and moat successful generals the of
iTil war.

only the finest cigars the world could pro-
duce. Prof. Honford says the Kinperor s
cigars were mado specially for him In Ho-
vans from leaf tobacco grown In tbe Golden
Belt of North Carolina, this txring the finest
leaf grown. Blackwell's Bull Durham
Smoking Tobacco is made from the same
leaf used In the Emperor's cigars, is abso
lutely pure and is unquestionably tho best
tobacco ever offered.
Thackeray's gifted daughter, Anne, In
her sketch of Alfred Tennyson, in Harper's
Monthly, tells of her visit to tho great j>oot
She found him smokiag Blackwell's Bull
Durham Tobacco, sent him by Hon. James
Ituaoell Lowell, American Minister to tbe
Court of St James.
In these days of adulteration,!! isaeom-
fort to smokers to **ow that tho Bull Dur
ham brand Is absolutely pure, and mode
from the best tobacco the world produces.
Blackwell's Bull Durham Smoking To
bacco Is the hsit and purest nude. All
dealers have it None genuine without
tho trade-mark of tho Bull.
