At this point some amateur Sherlock Holmes cornered the porter, and by adroit questions and threats made that rascally employe own up to the .heft, and also made him diagorge $600 in handsome notes that appeared to be right from the Print- ing Bureas. The owner of the mouey was overjoyed and all bands congratu- lated hint on recovering his money. “About this time the obdurate gen- tleman who had resolutely declined to be searched secured the floor. ‘Now, my. friends,’ said he, ‘F will tell you why I risked your suspecting me of the theft,” and y.hat did this man do but go down in his hip pocket and fetch up a roll of money that be counted out in our presence, and, as sure as I am a living man, in this. roll there were | just six—no more and no lesq—brand- new bills, each of $100 denomination, Positively there was no way of telling them from the bills that had been re- covered, Then we all knew why he had declined to be investigated.” od Brief Thanks to the Ladies.

The women had been long in their huts ere the council fire was kindled, and the warriors gravely seated them- selves im its circle, The loss of : young brave could not be allowed to interfere with so important an event as the marriage choice, and from most of theix minds he had vanished. It was not so very unusual for the Ong to claim a victim, and besides, the youth had been many times warned by his elders that he should not go hunting alone as had been his habit of late, : But while the warriors were work- ing themselves up to a frenzy of elo quenee over their bygone deeds of ng, an indian maiden was pad- ding a@ canoe swiftly and silently toward the middle of the lake, Nona, the Cbief’s daughter, understood no more than the rest why her lover had not been dropped into the lake, nor why the Ong had acted so Guests, but she kuew that she could die with her Tover.

Forty-two years ago the latter part | Rosecrans the great battle of Chicka- x the objective poiat of| the campaign, has been well considered the very gateway of the entire South: Bragg, in command of the Confederate force, was outwitted and outma-| neuvred, and the town of Chattanooga fell into Wederal banda, entirely by | strategy. | Chattanooga was then but a poor, struggling village, never having been | even heard of by one im @ thousand of those who composed the Northern army. It is now a wealthy, prosperous elty of over 60,000 inhabitants and the home of many Northern families. An electric line runs from the city to) Chickamagua Park every 30 minutes. | The celebration of the anniversary | of the battle, from the 19th to the 23 of September, where the tales of the campfire and the picket line were once | more recounted, has been of surprising | interest to thousands of old veterans | and their“quondam foes. BRIGADIER-GENERAL WM. H, LYTLE. The battle of Chickamagua, which followed Chattanooga, was most desper | ately contested on both sides, Bragg was reinforced by a veteran corps from Virginia, under Longst | and Buekner's Corps from East ‘Ten: | until his forces outnumbered | us’ by over 72,000, and yet the | ‘, by and vigorous it over moun and by the nessee ching day s and through passe: wide concentration — of ly — seattered forces, inflicted such terrible losses that Bragg was incapable of any but the most cautious following when Rosecrans fell back to occupy Chatta- nooga, for which he had been eontend- ing. Among the many brave officers on both sides whe up their lives for their beloved causes there wits none braver, Rone mc rned than the Union — Brigadier-€ Wm. Il Lytle. About to give the order to charge, he was struck in the head by bullet and fell dying in the arms of his aid, His poem of “Anthony and Cleopa- tra,” generally believed to have been} composed the night before the battle, | but which, as a aatter of fact, was an} earlier production, has been classed as one of the most masterly lyrics in| American poetry. 1 Am Dying Egypt, Dying.

Let not Caesar's servile minions Mock the lion thus laid low; ‘Twas no foeman’s hand that slew him, "Twas his own that struck the blow. | Here, then, pillowed on thy bosom, Ere his star fades quite away Him who, drunk with thy si Madly flung a world away! Should the base plebeian rabble Dare assail my fame at Rome, Where the noble spouse, Octavia, Weeps within her widowed home; Seek her—say the Gods have told me, | Altars, Augurs, circling wings, | That her blood with mine commin-| gled, Yet shall mount kings, And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian! Glorious sorceress of the Nile, t the path to stygian honors ith the splendors of thy smile. Give the Caesar crowns and arches, | Let his brow the Jaurel twine; I ean scorn the Senate's triumphs, Triumphing in love like thine, the throne of I am dying Egypt, dymng!
