Ln Love with a Spy.
AX ATLANTA LADY TELLS HOW SUE
AVON A HUSBAND IX WAIi TIMES.
An Atlanta lady told a Constitu¬
tion reporter the following story:
“In the latter part of ’90 jny fa¬
ther sold his plantation and negroes,
and packing up our plate and valua¬
bles, moved us all to Memphis, and
it was here that 1 first mot the gen¬
tleman who enlisted under my ban¬
ner, and who has ever been faithful
to the cause he then espoused, but
this Avas not until the closing year of
the Avar.
During the latter part of the strug¬
gle the country round about Menu
phis Avas infested with guerrillas, un
dei the leadership of Forrest, Avho
barrassed the people to such an ex.
tent that it was necessary for them
to seek protection in Memphis, which
was then under the command of the
Federal General, Washburn. The
latter frequently sent out scouting
parties in search of the bushwhack
ers and the country people, especial¬
ly those thought to be Southern sym*
pathizers, suffered greatly at their
hands. My father bitterly denounc¬
ed this guerrilla mode of warfare,
hut at the same time if any one of
Forrest’s men was lucky enough t©
enter Memphis in disguise lie made
straight for our house, and was pro¬
vided with whateuer lie needed.—
This was known, too, to Gen. Wash¬
burn and his officers, and it has al¬
ways been a puzzle ta me how father
escaped arrest at their hands; but I
suppose it was due to his benevo¬
lence to the needy of all classes.—
One night, just as the house was shut
up, preparatory to the inmates re¬
tiring, a loud knocking was heard at
the kitchen door, which so frighten¬
ed the servants we had retained that
they all rushed to places of hiding.
Some secreted themselves in closets,
and others under beds. The knock¬
ing was repeated until father went
down to ascertain who it was, and
what was wanted. On openuig the
door, a soldier, dressed in blue uni¬
form, confronted him. Nothing was
safe af that period. Robberies, ar¬
sons and murders were the order of
the hour; but my father invited him
in, and took hint to the dining room,
thinking that possibly he a was hun¬
gry soldier in the Yankee army.—
The soldier quickly undeceived fa¬
ther by saying that he belonged to
Forrest’s command, and had come
to Memphis to take observations,
and asked for shelter for the night.
It seems that the Federals had de¬
tected him, for while my father and
he were talking, Federal cavalrv
rode up to the house and demanded
admittance in a loud tone. While
those outside were clamoring to Tie
admitted, my father rushed up stairs
with the Confederate soldier and hid
him in a closet, the door of which
was so constructed that it was almost
impossible to detect it with the nak¬
ed eye. Then returning down stairs
fatiier opened the front door and in¬
vited the commanding officer in. The
explained that lie was in search
a guerrilla spy, whom he had
tracked to the house, and asked per¬
mission to search the place. Of course
father consented, and the officer and
four of his men undertook the task,
while-others were stationed outside
the doors and windows. Their
was thorough, but proved
fruitless, and, after detailing a guard
to watch the house, the remainder
rode off. After everything had quieti
ed down, my father let the Confed¬
erate out from his close confinement
and, of course, I met him. He was
tall and handsome, educated and re¬
fined, brave and daring. All of this
I saw at a glance, and during the
two days he remained in our house
I found that lie was good and pure,
just such a man as he is to-day. Fath¬
er knew that my husband—I mean
the guerilla spy who afterwards be¬
came my husband—could not escape,
for the house was being closely watch
ed, and lie knew that the soldiers
would come back and search again.
At first he hardly knew what to do,
but in a few seconds, after letting
the spy out of the closet, made him
submit to a disguise. Some lamp<
black and burnt cork were procured,
and his face, neck, bands and arms
were mode as black as the blackest
negro’s. Then a suit of livery was
given him which be put on. He was
then assigned to the servants’ quar¬
ters to await further developments,
and here lie remained two days, The
negroes were faithful and never gj^ve
anything away to the soldiers, and
my bus—— the spy passed much of
lus time in the library and parlor
talking to father, mother or myself,
or reading or singing, lie was a good
reader and a fine singer, and lt'was
during this time, when he was black
as the ace of spades, that we first
spoke our first words of love, and a
pure, lasting love it was. Well, on
the second morning, about 8 o’clock
in the morning, sure enough tliocav
elry, though increased in number,
made its appearance again at out¬
house, searched the second time, but
of course, with no more success. The
Confederate had been previously in¬
structed how to conduct himself and
what to do at the proper moment,
hut a lucky chance to get out of the
dilemma presented itself. The offi¬
cer's lioiso had slipped ami fallen, in¬
juring him so that he was unfit lor
service. My father offered the officer
his carriage to ride into hcadquar
tors where he wished to make his re¬
port, and it was accepted. Sam, the
disguised Confederate, was detailed
as coachman. It was a risky task, be>
cause he was liable to be detected at
any moment, hut with that bravery
which he always manifested lie as¬
cended the box, took the lines in his
hand and drove the horses from the
barn to the residence door. The ofli •
eer went alone, leaving his men to
guard the house. After reaching the
camp the injured officer went into a
tent. While he was closeted with
his superior olficer the disguised Con¬
federate got down off the box and
leisurely sauntered olf down the
street until he got near the edge of
town, when he broke into a run and
didn’t stop until lie got across the
line, and the horses and carriage were
confiscated by the Yankees. Three
times after that my spy, disguised
in his lampblack, came through tiie
lines to see me, and when the war
was over we were married. Hut there
he comes now,” and in the lady’s hus¬
band walkvd.

Different Methods of Grow ing Old.
A proverb in the Talmud says:—
“An old woman is a pearl in the fam¬
ily, but the house trembleth before
an old man.” This has a meaning
deeper than appears on the surface.
A weighty secret is wrapped up in
that proverb—the secret of eternal
youth. The old woman is r pearl be¬
cause she is helpful, useful and agree¬
able. She takes an interest in every¬
one's welfare, and lends a friendly
hand to the plans and projects of all.
She doesn’t allow herself to lose her
hold on the affairs of life. She is
still an active factor in the liousei
hold.
The old man takes exactly the op¬
posite trend. Not always, but more
often than does the old woman. He
grows selfish and surly, thinks only
of his own comfort, grow'Is when
any one makes a noisa, and on every
possible occasion verifies the proverb
by making the house tremble. The
difference between their methods of
growing old is directly due to this:
The woman never gets in thought,
and the man does. Her activity of
mind keeps off the old age, while the
old man actually invites him to come
on and take possession, and lie ac¬
cordingly* comes.—Gertrude Garri¬

THE GEORGIA OFFICES
tDe STATE DELEGATION’ MAKE A CAI.I.
OX THE PRESIDENT.
fyecial to Avgusta Chronicle.
,’Washington, Aug. 9.—The Geor¬
gia delegation, true to their promise,
called upon the President Friday af¬
ter Congress had adjourned and made
a vigorous effort to secure the re¬
moval of objectionable Republicans,
who are now enjoying nearly all of
the “fat” Federal offices in the State.
The President received the delega¬
tion, which consisted' of Senators
pa-own and Colquitt, and Represent¬
atives Norwood, Blount, Barnes and
Clements, cordially, and heard all
they had to say. He, as usual, did
not commit himself on the subject,
hut the Georgia Congressman left
the White House under the impres¬
sion that prompt action will be taken
as soon as the novelty of closing up
a session of Congress has worn off.
Senator Colquitt says he confident¬
ly expects the President to regard
the wishes of the delegation with as
little delay as possible, because he is
now sworn that perfect harmony
prevails among them as to who are
the best men to be appointed.
The first Georgia appointment to
be made will probably be IF. T.
Newman, United States Judge for
the Northern district of the State, to
fill the vacancy accasioned by the
death of Judge McCoy. Senator
Colquftt is a strong advocate of Mr.
Newman’s selection, and he has sc
cured a favorable impression in be¬
half of Mr. Newman at the IFliite
House and the Department of Jus¬
tice. The editors of the Atlanta
Messrs. Howell and
Grady, are also making a determined
fight for Mr. Newman, and nearly
all of the Georgians now in iho city
concede to Mr. Newman the present
lead in the race. Senator Brown is
not forgetting to look after the in¬
terests of his brother, Jas. R. Brown,
who is also an applicant for the va>
cant Judgeship. The Senator, as I
have often said, has a quiet way of
securing his political points, and lie
may surprise his Senator colleagues
before the Judgeship question is fi¬
nally determined.

Going through the Post office De<
partment yesterday, I was pleased to
hear Representathe Blount spoken
of so highly by the officials of that
department. It appears that Mr.
Blount as Chairman of the Pest office
Committee of the House, lias given
the country one of the best appropria¬
tion bills for the postal service known
to the history of the department.—
One of the Assistant Postmasters
General said the department had for
several years been seeking at the
hands of Congress certain legislation
for the natural benefit of the whole
country, and it was not secured un¬
til Mr. Blount was placed in charge
of the Postoffice Appropriation bill.
I cannot recall the numerous inci¬
dents wherein Mr. Blount’s work
improved the postal service, but it is
a big favorite in the Postoffice De¬
partment.
Representatives Hammond and
Turner, of Georgia, rank among the
leaders of the House, and Hammond
in particular exercises as much good
judgment and discretion at critical
stages in heated sectional debate as
any man in Congress. lie is recog¬
nized as one of the ablest lawyers on
the Judiciary Committee, and lie has
a large and 'influential following
among his fellow members. Mr.
Turner is said by many persons to be
the strongest member of tiie Georgia
delegation either in the Senate or
House.
There are but few men in Georgia
who can como to Congress and occu¬
py the positions in the estimation of
the House-which Messrs. Hammond
and Blount now grace. It requires
years of legislative training and ex¬
perience to reach a point of distinc¬
tion in the House of Representatives,
and the most valuable members of
the body to their constituents are
those who have served the longest
terms in Congress.

CUTTING’S CHECKERED CAREER.
HIS NOMADIC HISTORY AS RELATED BY
HIS BROTHERS IX MICHIGAN.
From the Fein York World.
Detroit, Mich., August 6.—In the
town of Clinton, Mich., live Charles
J. and II. I). Cutting, the only bro¬
thers of Editor Cutting, who is now
figuring as an international charac¬
ter, The elder, Charles, is the vil¬
lage clerk and express agent, and
the younger is the president of the
Michigan Bee-Keecpers’ Association.
They went there in the GQs and have
been respected citizens ever since.—
They tell the following story of
their brother’s life:
August Cutting was born in the
little town of Hudson, N. Y., in 1839.
After a few years in the public
schools, at an early age lie went into
the village newspaper office, the Star,
to learn the trade of a printer. In
those days a printer’s education in
the art was not considered complete
until he had traveled from place to
place as a “jour.” Young Cutting
rounded out his apprenticeship in
the usual way, and the roving habits
he contracted then have clung to
him more or less through his career,
lie worked in various newspaper of¬
fices in the East, and was in the Al¬
bany Evening Journal for several
years. In 1858, about the time the
family moved to Michigan, Cutting
was employed on the Cleveland
Leader. Growing tired of the place
he drifted South. The war came on,
communication between the North
and South was cut off and the fami¬
ly lost all trace of his whereabouts.
Finally they heard that he was at
Nashville, where he had joined an in¬
dependent home company formed to
protect the city. When Nashville
was taken by the Federal forces
Cutting returned North. From this
episode in his career has arisen tin
various stories that lie was in the
Confederate service and deserted it,
that he belonged to a Union Yfissou
ri regiment, and deserted to the cm
emy, etc.
After his return North, Cutting
worked in Cincinnati at his trade,
thence coining to Detroit, whore In
stayed a short time. Many.of tin
old printers of the city still retain a
dim recollection of him. From De¬
troit he went to Perrysburg, Ohio,
thence to Toledo. At Toledo he
married. The marriage proved an
in.happy one, and the couple sepa
.ted, a divorce being subsequently
obtained. Numerous papers have
said that Cutting once resided at
Clinton and learned his trade there.
Such was not l!-.e case. In 1005 lie
paid a visit to his mother and broth¬
ers in Clinton, remaining perhaps a
week. This, and his brief sojourn
in Detroit, constitute the only claim
Michigan has upon Cutting for
friendship.
After his visit at Clinton Cutting
turned his steps toward the growing
West as a fitting field for his energy.
He was located at Kansas City for a
few years, and in partnership with a
man named Williams published the
daily Times. Cutting married again
at Kansas City, and his wife has lived
with him since, being now in El Pa¬
so, thus disposing of the stoy of his
bigamous relations Avith four women.
After a disastrous fire in Kansas
City, in which Cutting lost all his
personal property, lie went to Colo¬
rado and started a paper at Trini¬
dad. After some of the vicissitudes
peculiar to journalism in a Western
frontier town, Cutting left Trinidad
and set up his editorial tripod at Las
Vegas, New Mexico. Here, about
three years ago, the brothers once
more lost sight of him, and received
no intelligence of him until the Tri¬
bune had brought them the news of
his arrest and incarceration on Mex¬
ican soil. The brothers have opened
communication with the El Paso au¬
thorities and expect soon to have di¬
rect information relative to the real
facts in this famous case.
From boyhood A. K. Cutting has
displayed marked characteristics that
stamp him as a man of more than
ordinary mould. Of a.nervous tem¬
perament and restless, adventurous
disposition, he could never remain
long in ono channel. His energy
pushed him to constant activity, and
his combative nature led him into
the fields where his talents found
congenial exercise. As a writer lie
is exceptionally, vigorous,. fearless
and bold. Some of his experiences
in border journalism were character¬
istic of the man. While in Trinidad
he fought to victory the lawless ele-.
meut of the town through, the col¬
umns of his papei, when such a
course was intensely unpopular, if
not personally dangerous. Indeed,
all that has been told of Clfttlfig by
those who know him bear out the
impression that lie is just such a per¬
son most likely to get into the en¬
tanglement he now finds himself.
-----
Tit for Tat- .
The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphig Record relates the
following story, which is a pretty
good one if it is true.
M hen Ben Hill, Jr. came here last
year as a candidate for the United
States District Attorney of North¬
ern Georgia, he called on Senator
Joe Blown, of Geo-gia and asked
him for his suppo'-t Thereupon it
is recorded that “Ole Joe” assumed
iiis judicial attitude, softly carressed
one hand with the other, stroked his
long white beard, drew its two long¬
est white hairs through his knotty
fingers and said: “Well, now, Mr
Bill, to he frank with you, and I al¬
ways like to be frank with gentle¬
men, I think the Hill family has had
its 'share of the Georgia offices.
Tour father was a United States
Senator, you have been Solicitor
General of the Atlanta circuit for
seven years, you’ve got your brother
into that., and now you want the
District Attorneyship at #0,000 a
year., I would not feel justified in
aiding you, for I think your family
has had all it deserves from the State
of Georgia.” Nevertheless, Hill was
appoinley District Attorney for the
Northern District of Georgia, Now
there is a vacancy in the' District
Judgeship of this same Northern
distrm-t, and Joe Brown’s brother
dim is a candidate for it. Ben Hill
Jr., has been here this week to see
that another man gets it. He said
the other dap that lie had some idea
of going to see “Ole Joe” and say
ing to him. “To be perfectly frank.
with you, Senator, and I always like
to bo frak with gentlemen, I think
the Brown family has had its share
of the Georgia offices. You have
been Governor and arc United State
Senator, your brother has been a
State Judge, your son is a manager
of the State railroad, and the rest
of your family are equally well pro¬
vided for. I would not fell justified
in supporting your brother Jim for
the District Judgeship, for I think
the Brown family has bad all it de¬
serves from the State of Georgia. - ”
I would like to see somebody talk
ing right out like that to “Ole Joe.”
The dead and dying pine trees, in
Forsyth Park arc full of worms. It
may be difficult to decide whether -
t he worms are the cause of the effect •
of the trees dying, but if the infested
tre'JS are not removod promptly, root
and branch, there is very little doubt
that the healthy trees will be destroy¬
ed. sooner or later. The city fathers
would do well to look after this mat¬
ter as soon as convenient,—Savan¬
nah News.
Iii February last Curley Post, a
fire man on the J/obilo and Girard
railraotl, drew his' month’s pay and >
lost it some time during the day.
He thought the money had been
stolen by some one and shortly af¬
terward went to Texas without re
covering it. At Columbus Fraday
while Charles Redfield was overhaul
ing engine No. 5, on which Post ran
as fireman, he found the money be*
hind the cushion box where Post
used to set, It had doubtless fallen
from his pocket while on duty. r l h«
money will be forwarded to him.
