H. Keller, in Clipper 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 —London Nature. 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. —Harper* Tou.nj Propio,. 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 | York Sun.

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.

Philadelphia Hair Thieves Ever since the complaints have bee n made at Police Headquarters, Philadel. phia, of the mysterious diaappearancs of the braids of hair from the beads of ladies and misses in the crowded street* and car* of the city, every officer ha* 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 and Market streets, observed a man act ing in a suspicious manner in a crowd of shoppers, and saw him following two achool-girls, both of whom had luxur iant braids of sunny hair hanging down 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 behind the young lady, just as he took hold of the coveted tresses and w S | about to sever them with a pair of sharp shears which he carried in his pocket The fellow was arrested and taken to the Central, where he gave the name of John N.
