A WAR STORY. Pencil Paragraphs in Constitution. The ills that ilesli is heir to, how¬ ever great they may he, arc rarely remembered when once they have ceased to exist. The ills of twenty one years ago, however, continue to to he remembered in many parts of the South, and will not be forgotten until several generations yet to come have passed away. The year which witnessed the close of the war be¬ tween the Slates was fruitful of ills, many of them nothing short of hor¬ rors. The South was prostrate ami oppressed with fear of the future.— Laws were of no effect. Unscrupm Ions stragglers from the armies of the North roved where they pleased, committing dreadful ctitnes unmo lested. Late in the afternoon in a day in April, 18G5, three days after General IFilson’s army passed through Mon¬ roe county, a Federal soldier rode up to a farm house near JJolingbroke, lie was drunk. Dismounting and entering the house, he found the master and the mistress, both of whom he grossly insulted with tlm vilest abuse. lie announced his in¬ tention to kill the master, and by¬ way of emphasizing the threat, de¬ clared that he had killed three men and a little girl upon the morning of that day. It was subsequently learn ed that he had shot a little girl thro’ the body. His threat almost crazed the mistress of the house, hut it also determined her to save the life of her husband. At a favorable mo¬ ment she aided him to escape from the house, and then faced the soldier alone. When the soldier discovered the escape, he swore that he would kill the wife and everybody else on the farm. IIin drunkenness, howev¬ er, caused him to postpone the exe¬ cution of his threat, and at dark he rode away, saying that ho would re¬ turn and execute it next day. There were two negroes on the farm, Anthony and Nelse, who sought their mistress after the de¬ parture of the soldier, and offered to kill him should he return. While fully appreciating the devotion of her servants, she told them that she did not want the soldier killed unless he should attempt to carry out his threat. The two negroes agreed to do whatever their mistress should command. Next day, the soldier still drupk ; Terms—$1.00 per annum returned. He again threatened to kill everybody on the farm, but did not do so. He contented himself with shooting a valuable horse, which he did merely to gratify his wanton cruelty. After being shot, the horse, singularly to relate, tried to gain entrance into each of the several buildings upon the farm. Upon the steps of each 1 e left drops of his blood, finally dying in the flower garden. Following the shooting of the horse, the soldier committed ma¬ ny other acts of fiendish cruolty. At dark he again rode away, declaring that he would return in the morning. When the morning eame, it was learned that the sohWbr had spent the night at the house of the widow of a Confederate soldier. This lady he treated wth indescribable cruel¬ ty. Aided by a faithful negro wo¬ man, she escaped front the soldier while he was drunk, and fled to the farm whose occupants he had threat 1 ened to kill. There she was secre¬ ted. Who. he emerged from his drunken stupor, the negro woman sent him off iu soaroh of the lady in a different direction from that in which she had fled. The negro woman’s ruse caused the soldier to fall into the bands of a party of Confederate soldiers who had been searching for him several days. They had followed him from Selma, Ala., he having committed horrible outrages in that city. At the house of the confederate widow they were informe of the cru¬ elty she had suffered and of her flight. They determined to request her to decide what fate the soldier should suffer. When she was found and the request made of her, she re¬ plied: “Ilang him!” He was taken into a convenient wood, where lie was mounted upon a horse and a rope was securely tied to the limb of a tree, and then he was asked if lie bad anything to say. “My namt'?" ho replied, “is Alexander My home is in , Missouri, Write to my mother and tell her how I died, and may the Lord have mercy on my soul!” Oncol' his questioners said to him: “We will not write to your mother. We will have suffi¬ cient mercy upon her not to let her know what manner of life you have been leaning, and what the manner of your death.” Nothing more was said. A quick blow from a whip caused the horse to spring aside, and the fiendish wretch hung suspended between heaven and earth. In a few minutes he was dead. A shallow hole was dug just under him, and he was cut down and quickly buriod. His mouldering hones lie is that unmark¬ ed grave to this day, and the spot is only known to those who took his life. It developed, a few days after, that the soldier was an oflicei. A ru¬ mor of his death reached the federal authorities at Maoon, and they sent a detachment of troops into Monroe county and arrested many of the leading citizens, upon the charge of complicity in the vengeance wreak¬ ed upon him. They were imprisoned at Macon, hut as no proof to convict them could he obtained, they were subsequently released. The lady whom the soldier treat¬ ed so cruelly is dead The little girl whom ho shot through tho body is still living in Monroe county. The incidents here related are true; and are well remembered by a number of citizens of Monroe coun¬ ty The Jacksonville (Fla.) Herald tolls how Mr. M, G. Johnson, a well known job printer of that city, was soared out of ten years of his life a day or so since by a tnocasiti snake. He entered the Alhambra restaurant on East Bay street, to get his dinner, and carelessly reached out his hand to draw up a chair, when it fell upon a snake instead of the chair hack.— He sprang back frightened when the snake began to unwrap itself from the chair, hut during its uncoiling it w-as killed. It had evidently crawl up from beneath the building and entered the dining room unobserved. It was dboi.it tyo feet ip length. WHERE IS MRS. BAKER? $100,000 awaiting a woman who DISAJT'EAHKD IN THE DAIIKNESS IN 1SG1. New York Sun. This advertiesment was published recently: -Oahouts T3ARKER—Information of the wlierc of Mrs, Anne Frances Barker (maiden name death Pout) will if living, suitably or, if dead, proof of be paid for; Address J. McNab, 11 Debevoi.se, place, Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. McNab said last night to are 4 porter of tlieSun: “Mrs. Darker was a niece of William E. Prout, who died on September S, at 71 Spring street, New York, and if living she has ft twelfth interest in his estate* which is valued at $1,300,000. Mr; Prout left no will, and his property, comprising real estate, bonds and money, will bo divided between his three nephews and nine nieces, that is, if Mrs. Barker is living and she can bo discovered. As the son-indaw of one of Mr. Prout’s nephews, I have taken an interest in the search lor Mrs. Barker, hut so far no trace of her movements, since she disap¬ peared about twenty-three years ago has been discovered. As Miss Annie Frances Prout she moved in good so¬ ciety in New Yck and was every¬ where considered a beautiful and ac¬ complished young woman. She was about 20 years old when she married Alonzo Barker in 1854. After seven years of married life a separation took place between her and her hus¬ band. “Her husband retained the custo¬ dy of their two children, sons, one of whom was not quite two years old when the homo was broken up. I’lie last that was ever difinitely known of Mrs. Barker was when she eame hack to her homo one night and begged to he allowed to see her children. The door was closed agaiufc her and she walked off in the dark* ness. “Her husband, it was said, tried afterward for several years to find out where she was, hut failed entire¬ ly, his wife apparently having deter¬ mined to elude the closest search, Her children, both of whom are at present in New York, grew up in ig¬ norance of their mother’s liistor, but they are naturally interested in tho renewal of the search, as is her hus¬ band, who lives iu Vermont. I have had a correspondence with Mr. Bar¬ ker in reference to the matter, and he has promised to render all possi¬ ble aid in discovering the fate of his wife. He said that twenty years at least had wow elapsed since she dis¬ appeared. Mr. Pi out, her uncle, whose pioperty is to be divided, was more than 82 years old when he died He had lived and died a bachelor, lie mad his fortune in the manufac* turu of printing ink in Spring street and lived and died in one of his houses adjoining the factory. He re¬ tired suddenly from business about twenty years ago, and, until lately, his factory was just jn the same con¬ dition as it was when the machinery stopped, The money lie had accum¬ ulated in business was invested m real estate and registered bonds, and he has left at least $1,300,000 to bo distributed among his heirs. Ilad ho continued his business and made safe investments ho would probably have died three times a millionaire. Ilis last illness extended over only tlireo or four days, and, as ho did not think he was going to die, he made no will. His nephews and nieces will all fare weli, each receiving more than $l 0 ().r 000 even should Mrs. Barker reapr pear and claim her share, which all the relatives hope will he the case.’* «►* “What did your father leave you ■when he died, Pat?” “Faith, he left me an orphan.” feller “Oh, yes,” rising said Johnny, “Daisy’s is a young man.
