A SPY IN THE CAMP.
MT AR El < ORFKIIKHATK.
In the winter of IKO4, when .JohnMton't
inny lay nt DJtoii in winter quartern, I
iiiadr two or th nr cxciiMioni In thr <li
•>m tion of ('hidt tn<»ogn, pi< king tip more
or IfM vnlunhli* Information, and wo
meting aft* r our of thewe nddl wkn the
incident I am nlxuit to relate occurred.
That Yankee wpiea were penetrating
our rninpe wan a well known fact. Two
or three had b< »*n arrewted, but it wim
only two or three out of a dozen, and or
der* had been iwucd to all regimental
ulfierni to Im* vigilant and alert in seek
ing t*> detect thr presence of utrungcra.
All th«* M< outa Lad, aa a matter of course,
received thr miik* instructions, but for a
we* k nothing resulted from this com
bined w»ib lifulneM.
One afternoon, while fitting in the
qunrtrni of an old friend belonging to a
brigade bund, a crowd gathered outside,
and I heard the mtiaic of a fiddle. Step
ping to the door, I naw a German about
40 yearw of age in the renter of a circle of
eohllrra seated on a cracker-box and play
ing tlie fiddle in a rude soil of away aa
if entirely unmindful of their presence.
The man wiv» in citizen's clothes, and for
what ae« -iixml a very good reason. His
right arm had been Miipubib'd nt the el
bow ] looked him over closely ** lie *at
their, t»e* luilf closed and keeping time
with hi* foot, and I could nut *uy that I
hud ever aoeu him before.
Give u* a Ming, (’ril'd a dozen men in
< hunt* after he had played for a spell,
and he at once complied. The find verso
ran as follow*;
"Oh ' dnan* you mm my falling team?
Oh I <l<mn* yon know <l*l I vlin* milt
Hot vbll.yoo l*n*h und merry vhM.
No home 1 bas to ninke tn* glad.”
Ih had not yet finished it when I waa
trying hard to remcmlicr where and when
I hud heard it before. Hi* voice wu*
aoft und plaintive, and the air of the
song v»a* one to captivate a aoldier. They
crowded clowr and wore silent while ho
sung the second verse;
"Nopotly vhalla to welcome m«.
Nopirily i ftt-M which way I go;
1 vhalka alouo, odown Ilfn'N path,
Aly bappiiiHM vhM turnotl to woo.”
I waa atniggling like a pnaonor to
break hia !>oud» Year* ago I hud heard
that *ong, ami had not heart) it since. It
waa in vain I cudgeled my brain, but juat
when 1 wa* in diwpair I hap|>ened to no
tice how he wav holding ant) playing the
fiddle, lit* right arm waa gone, ax I
have toltl you, but with the atump he
waa holding the bow by a simple contri
vance and with hi* left hand he waa fin
gyring the string*. Indceti, the aoldier*
were remarking on thr novelty of it. I
had not waU lied him thirty aecondt when
my memory came to my aid.
In tlie aummerof 1559 I made a trip to
a watering place in Wisconain—a bridal
tour. Gue evening, a* my wife and 1
aut on the porch of the hotel thit man
came along, having a little girl with him.
and a* he played that fiddle and aang *he
joined in the choru* and aci'ompanied
him on the banjo. Thi* n .i* one of the
aong* he aang that evening -aeven or eight
vcroca to it and it waa ao sad and plain
tive that We paid him to repeat it two or
three time*.
Now 1 could not aay that he was not
a Confederate, but the fart that he was
not in our uniform, and that 1 hail seen
him »o far North, waa enough to rouse a
•aspicion A* soon a* he had finished his
•ong he offered for sale from his pacdr,
liuttoua, thread, needle*, pencil* and
other small warns, and did a rushing busi
neaa for half an hour. He could have
■old everything right there, but he sud
denly packed up and moved away, even
when a doaen customers had money in
their hands. This action seemed queer,
if not suspicious, and I followed the man.
In half an hour 1 was certain Hist he was
espy and had txwn making an estimate of
our strength.
Without entirely losing right of the
tuun, I communicated my suvpicions to
the vflioer-of-lhe-day, and the result waa
m arrori. Th* man did not even diange
nnuntmanm when be found hlmaolf be
tween the bayonets, Imt marched off a* if
such affair* were down on hi* programme.
Upon reaching tho guard house he
calmly submitted to a thorough searcli of
hia person and [>ack. This lasted a full
hour, but wc made no discovery of im
portance. The man denied that ho waa
ever north of the Ohio River, and claimed
New Orleans a* hia residence. He learned
the wmg from a vagabond musican who
visited that city, and had aung it in hun
dreds of Confederate campa since the war.
Th er* waa absolutely no evidence against
h. and he would have been net at liber
ty had 1 not entreated the officer to give
me until neat day to look up aomething
to confirm my suapiciona.
I at once mounted my horse and rode
through all the adjacent campa and I
found that the man had visited every one
of them. He had certainly taken in a
whole corps in hia round, and waa heard
of among infantry, artillery, cavalry and
e ven the hoepital*. As a peddler he
would have done thia, but a* a spy he
would have done the same thing. All
the evidence 1 could get wa> that he had
appeared, played hia fiddle, sung his
song and sold hia notions, claiming to
some to lie selling on commission for a
sutler, and to others that he waa in busi
ness for himself.
I returned to headquarter* clean done
np and mad at myself for having made
such a mesa of it The man was all right
and I was all wrong. I went to the
guard house to ask him a few questions,
and It seemed to me that my sudden en
trance rather confused him. While I
questioned 1 also watched, and presently
1 I observed that beseemed to have a very
large quid of tobacco in hia cheek. Mind
yo i I was looking for trifles, and Ino
' sooner noticed the fact I have mentioned
! than I watched to see him expectorate
and soon realized that he was doing so
Thia wasn’t at all natural, and I began at
hia hejul to look him over. When I
came down to the third button on hia
blouse there waa no button there. All
the others were in place, but thia one waa
missing.
The man waa talkative and even jovial,
and by and by I left him with the remark
that 1 would go and report to the officer
and have him set at liberty. I stepped
out, walked around for fifteen minutes
and then re-entered the guard house. The
third button on hia blouse waa now in
place, and the quid of tobacco no longer
bulged out his cheek. When ordered to
“peel" hia coat he hesitated for an in
stant and I saw him change countenance,
but off it came and I carried it to head
quartern.
Every button on that blouse was not
only a hollow cylinder made to screw to
getlier, but each cavity waa filled with
proofs to convict him as a spy. He had
worked an entire corps, and he had the
nunilHir of men, pieces of artillery, condi
tion of arm*, and whatever else might be
asked for. It must have taken him two
weeks to secure such full and explicit in
formation.
When he waa brought before Gen.
he felt that the jig was up. There were
his own note* to confront him. He re
fused to utter one single word, and
accmcti to have made up hia mind to pay
the penalty without flinching. It was brief
work to try, convict and condemn him,
but he was never executed. On the
night before hia execution he died on his
blanket*. He waa in the full vigor of
year* and hi nlth, having a hearty appe
tite, and hi* death has ever remained a
mystery. There was no wound of any
sort on the body, and of the five surgeons
summoned to investigate all were certain
that he did not take poison of any sort.
After playing on his fiddle for half an
hour he lay down on the blankets with
the remark that it was hi* last night to
sleep. A guard «at within ten feet of
him and saw him apparently fall into a
sweet slumber, but two hours later he
«ss dead.— Detroit Drna.
The Coendon.
The Hav re aquarium ha* just put on
exhibition one of the most curious, and
e*|x-cially one of the rarest of animals—
, the prehensile tailed coendou. It was
brought from Venezuela by Mr. Equidazu,
the i-ommissary of the steamer Colombia.
Brehm say* that never but two have been
seen—one of them st the Hamburg 7eoo
logieal Garden and the other at London.
The one under consideration, then, would
lie the thin! specimen that ha* been
brought alive to Europe. Thi* animal,
which is allied to the porcupines, is about
. three ami a half feet long. The tail alone
is one ami a half feet in length. The
entire body, save the belly and paws, is
covered with quills which absolutely hide
tlie fur. Upon the back, where these
i quills are longest (alxnit four inches),
they arc strong cylindrical, shining,aharp
: pointed, white at the tip and base, and
blackish brown in the middle. The
animal, in addition, has long and strong
moustaches. The paw*, anterior and
posterior, have four fingers armed with
strong nails, which are curved and nearly
cylindrical at tlie base. *
Very little is known about the habits
iof the animal. All that we do know is
that it pusses the day in slumber at the
top of a tree and that it prowls about at
r night, it* food consisting chiefly of leaves
iof all kinds. When it wishes to desrend
I from one branch to another it suspends
Itself by the tail, and lets go of the first
only when it ha* a firm hold of th* other.
One peculiarity is that ths extremity of
the demal part of the tail is prehensil'.
This part is deprived of quills for ulength
of about six irichea. The coendou does
not like to be disturbed. When it does
it advances toward the intruder una
endeavors to frighten him by raising its
quills all over it* body. The natives of
! Centra) America eat it* flesh and employ
it* quills for various domestic purposes.
The animal is quite extensively distributed
throughout South America. It i* found
I in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Guiana,
and in some of the Lexwr Antilles, such
as Trinidad, Barbadocs, Saint Lucia, eto

Some queer Fish.
A far more singular walking fish than
any of these is the odd creature that re
joices, unfortunately, in the very classical
surname of Periophthalmu.*, which is, be
ing interpreted, Stareabout. If he had
a recognizied English name of his own,
I would gladly give it; but he hasn’t,
and as it is clearly necessary to call him
something, I fear we must stick to th®
somewhat alarming scientific nomencla
ture. Periophthalmu*, then, is an odd
fish of the tropical Pacific shores, with a
pair of very distinct forelegs, theoretical
ly described a* modified pectoral fins,
and with two goggle eyes, which he can
protrude at pleasure right outside the
sockets, so as to look in whatever direc
tion he chooses without even taking the
trouble to turn his head to left or right,
backward or forward. At ebb tide this
peripatetic goby literally walks straight
out of the water, and promenades the
bare beach erect on two legs, in search of
small crab* and other stray marine ani
mals left behind by the receding waters.
If you try to catch him, he hop* away
briskly much like a frog and stares back
at you grimly over his left shoulder, with
his squinting optics. So completely
adapted is he for this amphibious long
shore existence, that his big eyes, unlike
those of most other fish, are formed for
seeing in the air a* well as in the water.
Nothing can be more Judicious than to
watch him suddenly thrusting these very
movable orb* right out of their socket*
like a pair of telescopes, and them twist
ing round in all direction* so a* to see be
fore, behind, on top below, in one delight
ful circular sweep.
There is also a certain curious tropical
American carp which, though it hardly
deserves to be considered in the strictest
sense a* a fish out of water, yet manages
to fall half way under that peculiar cate
gory, for it always swims with it* head
partly above water and partly below.
But the funniest thing in this queer ar
rangement is the fact that one-half of
each eye is out in the air and the other
half is beneath the water. Accordingly,
the eye is divided horizontally by a dark
strip into two distinct and unlike por
tions, the upper one of which has a pupil
adapted to vision in the air alone, while
the lower is adapted for seeing in the
water only. The fish, in fact, always
swims with its eye half out of the water,
and it can see as well on dry land as in
its native ocean. Its name is Anableps,
but in probability it docs not wish the
fact to be generally known.— ComhiU.
Proved a Perjurer.
In a large factory, in which were em
ployed several hundred persons, one of
the workmen, in wielding a hammer,
carelessly allowed 'it to slip from his
hand. It flew half way stcross the room,
and struck a fellow-workman in the .efj
eye. This man claimed that his eye
was blinded by the blow, although a
very careful examination failed to reveal
any injury. He brought a suit in the
courts for compensation for the loss of
half of hi* eye-sight, and refused all of
fers of a compromise. Under the law,
the owner of the factory was responsible
for an injury resulting from an accident
of this kind, and although he believed
that the man was shamming, and that
tlie whole case was an attempt at swind
ling, he had about made up his mind
that he woulu be compelled to pay the
claim.
The day of the trial arrived, and in
open court an eminent occulist, retained
by the defence, examined the allegeii in
jured member, and gave it as his opinion
that it was a* good as the right eye.
Upon the plaintiff's loud protest of his
inability to see with his left eye, the oc
culist proved him a perjurer, and satis
fied the court and jury of the falsity of
his claim.
And how do you suppose he did itt
Why, simply by knowing that the colors
green and red combined make black.
He procured a black card on which a
few words were written with green ink.
Then the plaintiff was ordered to put on
a pair of spectacles with two different
glaaees, the one for the right eye being
red, and the one for the left eye consist
ing of ordinary glass. Then he
was ordered to read the writing on it
This he did without hesitation, and the
cheat was st once exposed.
The sound right eye, fitted with the
red glass, was unable to distinguish the
gTwn writing on the black surface of the
card, while the left eye, which was
claimed to be sightless, was the one
with which the reading had to be dona.

KOT SO VERY GREEN.I
A Thiefn Account of How He
Tried to Rob a Bank.
Expecting an Easy Time Because the New
Cashier Looked Verdant
‘•lt ain’t no use in saying that I haven’t
|x-cn a crooked man in my time,” he re- |
marked as he leaned back against the
door and pulled hi* hat down. “You all J
know that. I’m just out of the Ohio peni- ]
tenti uy after serving ten long year* for I
trying to work a bank, and it s no use in
me denying it. Howsomever, there was
more in that case than the paper* ever got
hold of, and it will do no harm to yam it
jff.
“To l»egin with, I was knocking around
Cincinnati, hard up and discouraged,
when an old pal of mine comes along one i
day with a soft snap. He had struck
something to gladden our hearts. In a
village about fifty miles away was a bank.
That wasn’t so very curious, a* you may
think, but it was a new bank, and the i
officials were a set of greenhorns. The
President was an old fanner, the book- j
keeper a former miller, and the cashier— i
well, he was described as just tin- green
est spec imen ever brought in from the
com fields.
“My pal had ‘piped’ the bank until he j
knew how everything went. When noon
came the President and bookkeeper went
to dinner, leaving the greenhorn alone, i
Indeed, he ate a cold luncheon at his i
desk. It was a chance if any one came
inbetween 12 and 1:30, and the two of us
could do that cashier up as slick as grease .
with any of the old tricks.
“Well, in a day or two we went up
there and it worked like the biggest lay
out I ever came across. As you entered the I
bank there was an enclosed space to the
right with a gate to enter. This was the j
President and bookkeeper’s quarters, !
while further along, on the same side, ’
was the cashier’s place, but not divided
from the other by any railing. When !
the cashier was at the pay window his
back was toward the other space, and
also to the big safe. The latter stood at '
least twelve feet from him, against the I
outer wall, with all the doors wide open.
“Why, when I came to enter that bank
and see how easy it was to ‘sneak’ that
safe I was laid out with astonishment.
And then the greenness of that cashier!
Why, gents, he didn’t seem to know no
more about a draft on New York than :
about the complexion of the man in the j
moon, and after I had detained him at i
the window fully ten minutes on one pre- ■
text and another, just to see if it could
be done, we went out feeling that we had j
the boodle in that safe dead to rights.
“The time appointed was next day
noon, and when we had seen the Presi- i
dent and bookkeeper out of the way my
pal entered and walked to the pay win
dow and got a bill changed, and then be- j
gan to dicker about a draft. I entered | '
the bank on tip-toe soon after him. The 1 1
gate was open, as also the doors of the ' i
safe, and the cashier, with his back to j
me, was feeding himself as he talked. I
Why, sirs, it makes my mouth water to \
think of what a glorious opportunity was '
before me I I had on rubbers and I slip
ped half way to the safe as softly as the
serpent creeps. Then there was a growl
and a rush, and a dog about the size of a
yearling steer flung himself upon me. I
went down with a crash, and the dog
held me there, but while it was happen
ing I heard the click I click 1 of a revolver
and the greenhorn of a cashier coolly say
ing to my pal:
“‘l’m on to you, my friend! If you
move hand or foot I’ll let daylight
through you! Tiger, hold that fellow
fasti’
“His left hand slid down to a button,
and next moment a bell outside was ring
ing a fire-alarm and collecting a crowd of
people. They came rushing into the
bank by the dozen, and, of course, our
cake was done for. I got ten years for
that little operation, ami my pal took
seven for his share. It turned out that %
the bank was guarded in all sorts of ways,
including dogs and spring guns, and that
the seeming greenhorn of a cashier had I
been imported front a Philadelphia bank. ,
He had s|M>tted us at first sight, and had ,
given us ro;>e to hang ourselves.”— New |

Turtle-Egg Hunting.
Ranta Ro-a Island is a '“"' 1 k ' - T th *
Gulf of Mexico, forty mile* long ami va
rying in breadth from a fifth of a mile to
over a mile aero**. It i* tl**’ breuaua. r
of Pensacola harbor, und reci ites t.n
shock of the rolling »ea* of the gu'f,
i which often break against it in fury,
i while the waters of the buy within art
still as a mill pond, und scarce a ripple
washes the beach of the city front, seven
miles away, though the water at the city
I is as salt a* that in the centre of the gulf.
The sea beach of the island is a gently
sloping expanse of white sand, back and
forth on which the advancing and reced
ing waves will glide for hundreds of feet.
You can stand where no water is one mo
ment, and the next be struggling waist
deep against a surging wave that is
climbing up the strand. This beach is
the incubator of the great turtles of the
I gulf. Its gradual incline, the easily ex
; cavated sand beyond, and the warm
j southern exposure adapt it to their ap
proach, the making of nests, and hatch
ing of their eggs. So they resort to it
j for this purpose, and in due time the
young turtles are hatched, unless the eggs
are captured by the various creatures,
■ biped and quadruped, who seek them in
the season. From Pensacola over to the
I island is about seven miles, and as the
land breeze of the night sets fair across
the bay it is a pleasant trip of moonlight
nights to run over on a sailboat, land on
I the bay shore, walk across the island
which is not a third of a mile wide op
posite the city, and seek for “turtle
1 crawls” on the gulf beach or bathe lux
uriously in the surf. The “crawl” shows
I on the sand where the under shell has
been dragged along and following this
- up to a point above the wash of the high
: est waves, the nest is found, usually
' about two and a half feet below the sur
face. A sipgle nest will contain from
,100 to 300 eggs. At Sabine Pass, on
i Santa Rosa Island, alligators arc found
by the ten thousand, and are killed in
I large numbers by hunters who frequent
the place.
Ammonia.
Ammonia is cheaper than soap, and
cleans everything it touches. A few
1 drops in a kettle that is hard to clean
makes grease and stickiness fade away
and robs the work of all its terrors. Let
it stand ten minutes before attempting
to scrape off, and every comer will be
clean. It cleans the sink and penetrates
into the drain pipe. Spots, finger-marks
on paint, disappear under its magical in
fluence, and it is equally effective on floor
and oil cloth, though it must be used
: with care on the latter, or it will injure
1 the polish, and keeps clean longer than
anything else. If the silver be only
slightly tarnished, put two tablespoon
fuls of ammonia in a quart of hot water,
brush the tarnished article with it, and
dry with a chamois. If badly discolored
they need a little whitening previous to
the washing. An old nail brush goes
into the cracks to polish and .brighten.
For fine muslin and delicate lace it is
invaluable, as it cleans, without rubbing,
the finest fabrics. Put a few drops into
your sponge bath in hot weather, and
you will be astonished at the result, as it
imparts coolness to the skin. Use it to
clean hair brushes, and to wash any hair
or feathers to be used for beds or pillows.
When employed in anything that is not
especially soiled, use the waste water
afterward for the house plants that are
taken down from their natural position
and immersed in a tub of water. Am
monia is a fertilizer, and helps to keep
healthy the plants it nourishes. In
every way in fact, ammonia is the house
keeper’s friend.— Baptist Weekly.
The Wonderful Soil of the West.
“Do we have any cyclones out in our
country?” echoed the passenger from the
West. “A few. Two or three times a
year one comes along and makes things
howl. We have got used to’em, though,
and don't mind ’em anymore. The soil
is so fertile that we are able to copper
the cyclones in great shape.”
“But I can’t see what the fertility of
the soil has got to do with it when torna
| does come along every once in a while
: and carry off your buildings.”
“Os course, you can’t see it. Nobody
I ever could see it until he went out West
and looked around a little with his own
eyes. We hain’t got any trees in our
country to anchor things to, and they
wouldn’t be of any use, anyhow, in a
regular old cyclo. But, stranger,
the fertility of the soil comes to our as
sistance. Every well-regulated house
barn, stable and granary in our neighbor
hood is tied to a cornstalk, an’ the cy
clones can’t budge ’em an inch. That’s
the kind of a soil we have out our wav.”

of the braids of hair from the beads of
ladies and misses in the crowded street*

been on the alert to catch the sneaking
thief, if poaaible; but no clue could be
obtained. Several days ago Reserve
Officer D*ws n, while on duty at Eighth

ing in a suspicious manner in a crowd
of shoppers, and saw him following two
achool-girls, both of whom had luxur

their backs. He followed them to Arch
street, when the man saw that he was
being watched and made his way onto!
the crowd.
Officer Dawson saw the same man fol.
lowing a young lady who wore a heavy
braid of golden hair, when he slipped
into a store and exchanged his uniform
for a citizen’s coat and hat. He soon
caught up to the man, who was clom

often gayly tripped the light fantastic
like some fabled faun, humming a tune
to suit the motion. Years afterwards
