[nterestmg ~ Reminiscences of Rebel Days-~Stirring Times at 4 Maryland Mountain Hotel, A Southern Maiden's Part Story—The Capture of Two General'sand One Gen- eral's Wife, in the New York Evening Post Now that General Crook is 8o conspicu ously beforo the public, it is with peculiar interest that a friend recalls the romantic circumstances which immediately preced ed, if they did not actually promote, the marriage of that gallant officer with his present wife, formerly Miss Mary Dailey, of Virginia, The preliminaries of this interesting event ¢ rred during the last yeaf of the war at Oakland, Maryland, a charming | mountain resort, 2,800 fect above sea- level, that was discovered by the Balti more and Ohio Railroad in its exploration of a primeval forest track along the bor der line between Maayland and Virginia. As the railroad became, in course of time, | a grand fact in the history of engineer ing, the company built hotels at various points of the route for the accommoda- tion of their passengers. Oakland be- foro the war consisted of the fow cabins and cottages and a church and express office about one of theso large and_well ordered houses, called Glades Hotel. The place was already famous a3 a deer- hunting and_treut fishing ground, and the hotel register became interesting as an autographic album filled with the sig- natures of more or less distinguished for- eigners (notably Englishmen), whose love of sport had led them to cast their lines for a season in these pleasant places. It was in this neighborhood that Brownius, the famous back woodsman and hunter, pursued for so many years his perilous calling; and then in homely but vigorous language recorded his success in one of the most original manuscripts ever sub- mitted to a publisher. Here, too, his brave daughter, an unfailing shot, roamed the forests and the hills alone day after day with her trusty rifle, until, laden with spoils, she returned to her father's cabin, A SUDDENLY MADE LANDLORD. A Virginia family of the name of Dai- ley came to spend the summer at Oak- land the year before the war. The father was a genuing specimen of the Virginia country gentlemanof that day—courteous, jovial, hospitable to a fault; the mother a quiet housewifely lady, devoted to her son and two daughters.

At all events, Mr. Dailey bravely undertook the task and succeeded to the complete satisfaction of all whom he entortained. His own corps of family negroes were brought into requisition, and notable among these was bynthy. the old foster- nurse of Mars Jim, a young man still in his teens. This_tall old yellow woman had assumed the duties of cook,and with them all that this implied of absolute despotism in the kitchen. It was matter fxx:)nuch amusgment to the gugats at the les to sen the troop of colored waiters rash with suspicious simultaneousness from her domain back into the dining- room when some unwelcome order had been delivered by one of them, But this was only on Cynthy's bad days, There were often one, two, three, in succession, when the mistress of the house found it very wiseto absentherself from the kitch- en, and when she confessed herself in mortal terror of her own indulged slave. At these times it was recognized that no one but Mars Jim, her idol, could do anything with the old woman. THE GENERAL'S BRIDE, The central figure of this family pie- ture was the oldest daughter, Miss Mary Dailey, now the wife of General Crook. To a fitho, elastic, beautifully rounded figure, somowhat under the medium size, a bright face full of animation, blue eyes and light-brown. slightly curling locks, Mary Dailey added a charm of roady wit, always good-natured, and gen- erous im{mluu of heart that mado her a universal favorite. So admirably was she fitted to be a soldier's wife that,when the marriage was announced, her frionos expréssed themselves to this effect with- out a dissenting voice, It was by theso exceptional qualities she was enabled to play well a very difficult role in those troublous times, Her family were ar- dent in all their sympathies and aflilia- tions, while the location of their proper- ty and its surrounding between *‘two un- equal fires”—the gray boys and the blue —placed them often in a peculiarly per- plexing predicament. There is no doubt that by her tact and personal popularit Mary {)niluv, oung as she was, did much to save her family and neighbors from the inevitable loss and suffering conse- quent upon their well known Southern proclivities. A little anecdote in which she played a parg went the rounds of the newspapers o she was still in her school days. On his way to Wheeling in a private car, President Buchanan made the usual wait at Oakland station, where many persons assembled to be presented to the Chief Magistrate, the exalted bachelor put the question to her that had served him throughout the interview: ‘‘And what State are you from miss!” “‘From the same state as your Excellency,” she quickly replied, *‘the stato of single blessedness!” Ano her story my friend had from her own lips as they were walking through a 0 new wing of the hotel, which before completion been taken for a tempo- rary barracks and hospital by the Union forces in possession of the road and encamped at this point. Some sick and wounded Union soldiers were brought in one day. Mary looked across from her window into the opposite ns, whore the poor fellows had been ) blankets and mattresses, Her h elted at the sigltt of the suffering enemy; she braved even the terrible Cynthy, “who was none too fond of the **Yanks,” and insisted upon making a large caldron of chicken broth for them. When it was done she car ied & smoking bowlful in e hand to the window. One young fellow, pale and famished, took the savory mess and put it eagerly to his lips. * “Hold on, Bob!” sang out a comrade on the floor beside him, *“may bothat stufl’s poisoned ™ The sick wan hesitated for one moment, looked at Mary, whose blue eyes, frank as the day, doubtless flashed their indig. nant protest. “‘Oh, for shame!" said he, Ry t that girl's face for my life. | were both Here's thank’ee to you, miss!” and down went the soup. In the rapidly varying phases ef the war on this borderland—the road now in posscssion of the (Government, now torn up, thirty miles in a night, by Jackson's Stonewall Brigade —the personnel of the social circle at the hotel became curiously mixed, not to say embarassing; secret or suspected aympathizers with the rebels taok their soup and enjoyed their deli- cious mountain mutton, side by side with the very Union officers in protective com- mand of therond, They smoked ripe of peace together on the veranda, and sang sentimental ballads to Miss Mary's as companiment on the parlor piano, Gener al Kelley was at the house at this time, with his two daughters, and from day to day he would drive about the mountain roads in his ambulance with a party that often included the author of **Stonewall Jackson’s Way,” who, by the by, wrote that stirring ballad, that” Holmes called the finest lyric of the war, sitting on the veranda of the Glades Hotel while all the rest of the guests had gone off on a pienic—the very day of the battle of An- tictam! A SUCCESSFUL PLOT, Tt was while Gieneral Kelley was still in the house, going to and fro on the road, as the martial exigencies of the hour would call him, that young James Dailey and a devoted chum of his con- ceived the daring project of crossing the lines to join the Southern army. They iar with the alinost im penctrable trails of the woods on the border, and they laid their plans accord- ingly. ' A few friends wero in the secrot. One capital reconneur under:ook to keep. the captain of the guard amused with tale and toddy far into the small hours of the appointed night; some women prayed and the General slopt. The next morn- ing one lady called the attention of whothiw o tits suggestive fact that the rubber-cloth piano-cover had disappeared. Later in the day General Kelley. discovered the departure and took in the situation at a glance. The mother of one son wept and wrung her hands. ““Don't distress yourself, madam,” said the Gen- eral with somewhat ironical condolence, “we will soon have them both back here!"—as if that were not her cruelest fear! A party, headed by General Kel- ley himself, was hn«tiy mustered to Furaua tho fugitives. Hour succoeded h our of crucl anguish in the family, and of moro or loss excited anxiety to all in the house. Buv at last the soldiers re- the boys were not with them. No col.usion nor connivance on the part of any one could be proven. Perhaps the kindly officers were not over-cager to verify their possiblo suspicions; and tho affair was hushed up. A DARING RETURN HOME. The next report of ‘‘our laddies gone over the border” was an adventure in which they succeeded in turning the tables very neatly upon their former pur- suer, General Kelley. (Gieneral Crook was at this time associated with Genesal Kelley tn the protection of the Baltimore and Ohio road, and owes to this circum- stance his acquaintance and subsequent relations to the Dailey family at Oakland. The ofticial headquarters, however, were located at a hotel in Cumberland, Mary- land, a charmingly picturesque town on the road, half way between Piedmont and Oakland. It was in this lovely city, nest- ling in its bowl-shaped valley among ‘‘a thousand hills,” that a party of cavalry in United States uniform—apparently asmall scouting force returning with. despatches —galloped straight to the goneral’s head- quarters, having taken the strange pre- caution of capturing their own pickets! Such was their important business, that they proceeded without ceremony to the bedrooms of Generals Crook and Kelley, where these wearied warriors slept the sleop of good curity. The leader of the mysterious scouting party was a man of few words: ““Giot up, put on your clothes!” to each of the General’s in turn, dazed and star- tled out of profound slumber by the rude summens. In ten minutes,at the muzzles of revolvers, they had both made their toilets and were mounted at the door of the hotel. Surrounded by their volun- ters body-guard, they were led out of the dark and sleeping town, ard were hur- ried off to Richmond and to Libby Prison, Jim Dailey and his friend were membors of this raiding party, conspicu- ous for their zeal, and their personal recognition by both generals was proba- bly the only amusing feature of the spir- ited affai A gentleman who had held very unfriendly relations with General Kelley during the summer at Oakland, was then occupying a position in the socret service of tho War Department at Richmond. Through his advice, pressed upon Sccretary Benjamin, Generals Kel- ley and Crook were released, as their reinstatement in command of the road was important to the interests of those unhappy Southerners whose lives and property lay at the mercy of both friend and foe, on this critical Line of s stional demarcation. THE CLOSING ROMANCE, Later on another rumor of a still more romantic nature reached the ears of the scattered summer boarders; of a wound- od Union general being carried to the hotel in the mountains; of his nurse, a little rebel maiden; and finally of the usual sequence of these given conditions & eapturo Ly the sister us well as by the brother—an altar and a ring!

Davis was writing letters te it from the capital as its “Spy in Washing- ton.” 1 guess lus instructions were to make them “‘spicy.” All_these peo, with the exception of Ruggles, w young and hot-headed. One day a New England Jonathan came to Washington with an improved mail bag. He went to seo old Amos Kendall, then "Postmaster (Gieneral, whose name is kept fresh in the Washington mind by Kendall Green, the pleasant little park where stands the Columbian Institute for the Deaf | and Dumb. Kendall thought the new mail bag wouldn't work, and he told Brother Jonathan 80. Very much discouraged, Jonath= bout to leave for home in friend sug- gested that .man Ruggles, of the Senate © en postoftices and post-roads whether he could not get him toca:: y through Congress a bill directing the Postmaster-General to use the mail bag he had condemned. He called on Ruggles. Ruggles listened to his eloquence, looked at his mail bag and refused to take charge of his bill. He agreed with the Postmaster General. The new invention wouldn't work. That night the inventor told his story to a sympathizing crowd of loungers in the lobby of his hotel. The cynlc of the crowd remarked, when the inventor had inished: *‘You went at Ruggles the wrong way. He didn't want to hear your eloquence; ho wanted to see your money. Why didn't you show him $5007 That's the sort of a bill he wanted to see.” The inventor murmured his regret that he had net known his man, and then sorrowfully took himself home. Ina day ortwoa small portion of the story of his visit to Washington, highly spiced with many reflections on Ruggles in the style of the hotel lobby cynic, appeared in the Wash- ington letter of The lNuw York Courier and Enquirer. Cilley, who was not otherwise concerned than asa personal friend of Ruggles, denounced the state- ments in The Courier and Enquirer on the floor of the house as absolutely false. Thereupon, James Watson Webb sent Graves, the Kentucky Congressman, with a challenge to Cilley. The latter | declined to receive a challenge from the ‘man who had printed such a story about a friend. ‘“Then you must fight me,” said Graves. Seo he did, Henry A, Wise of Virginia, being second for Graves, and George W. Jones of Towa, second for Cilley, Cilley was killed, and Congress passed the stringent anti-dueling law which ever after restrained the hot bloods of the capital.

He dresses plathly, but ou forged his dress in ook g at his face, which wears a kindly expression. His manner is very pleas- ing.

He said the other night that when he came to Washmgton for the first timo as a member of Congress Lin- coln was in the White House. He re- membered that one day he strolled through the Executive knew quite well. He looked into a good Finally, he opened a door, and, walking boldly in, found himself in the presence of the President and his Cabinet. He was young and green, and he found his situation yery embarrassing, It shows tho innate courctesy of the rough-looking rail-splitter that he imme- diately rose from the Cabinet table,called the young Congressman by name, shook his hand wnrmf , and drew him into the room. ‘‘Seward,” he said, turning to the solemn Secrotary of State, ““do you re- member my friend So-and-s0, who was in the House from Illinois last session?’ Seward admisted that he did. “Well,” said Lincoln, ‘*he was beaten last fall for re-election, and this is the boy who did | i Lincoln’s hearty way established | cordial relations at once, and the bashful young Congressman never passed a more delightful half hour than that which fol- lowed.

Now he has nothing but his sal- ary. Postmaster General Gresham is doing an odd thing. He is looking up some fresh facts as a basis for the recommen- dations of his annual report. Most pub- lic officials, where they don't scissor out blocks of their last year's report to fill up in this year's report, content themselves with such warmed over facts und figures 'a| as their underlings set befero them. 1t would be difficult to say when some of the statistics and statements which have been furnishing facts for the annual re- ports for years back first appeared above the horizon, General Gresham is a very practical business man, if he has spent most of his life among law books, He has old-fashioned ideas (he likes whist) and new-fashioned mothods. One of his notions is that he ought to know some- thing about the great service over which he presides—something more than Frank Hatton tells him, in fact.

Although the Turkish government does not look with fuvor upon the proj Jordan Canal scheme, yet im England | the project is still regarded as possible and likely, eventually, to be carried out. | The physical changes that would result | from the cutting of the channel are note- worthy. The fall of the Dead Sea is about thirteen hundred feet, and if as supposed, this to be continuous from end to end or nearly 80 a very short cutting will suffice to bring the waters of the Red Sea into the Jordan Valley. Flowing through the Wady-el Arabah this stream, it is calculated, would fill the whole ra- vine in about three years. Theriver Jor- dan, the Dead Sea and Lake Tiberias would all disappear,with some three hun- dred square miles of land, principally on the western side of the ravine as now ex- isting, but in their place would be a vast inland sheet of water fertilizing the neighboring desert with the rainfall pro- duced by the evaporation from its surface, Not a mere canal would thus be created, but a wide, open channel, traversing Palestine from North to South, navigable in every sense of the term, with safe har- bors here and there on on every side. AN ANCIENT PROPHECY. What will Exeter Hall say to an enter- rise involving the destruction of somany landmarks in Biblical history? Admiral Sir Edward Inglefield, who is in Censtan- tinople in the interest of the syndicate, has received several letters from clergy- men on the subject. *‘So far,” he says, *from experiéncing opposition, we have been\encouraged to proceed in our work, the execution of the enterprise being re- garded as the fulfillment of a prophecy to be found in the 47th chapter of Ezekiel. If one will turn to that portion of the Old Testamemt he or she willsee how it speaks about bringing out the waters toward the East contry into_the desert and then down tp thesea. It mentions, moreover, the healing of the waters and the appear- ance of 4 great multitude of fish. The coincdenee of these p: es with the de- tails of the Palestine canal scheme is very curious, for the first may be taken to in- dicate the eastward flow from the Medi- terranean through the cutting across the Plain of Esdraelon, and thus on by way of the desert to the Red -Sea, while the second may be thought to foreshadow the fato of the great Dead Lake of the Script- nres, its waters sweetened by contact with the invading stream.” — Hood's Sarsaparilla 18 made of roots, herbs and barks.
