0 O N after'the
war one of my
comrades, Col.
X—, who was
U nit e d S t a tes
marshal of a dis—
trict in central
New York, went
to Virginia in
search of a crim.
inal, and on his
return told me a
story which nei-
ther of us could
verify at the time,
and I placed it one
side for later reference. He said that he
stayed one night at a lonely tavern in the
Rappahannock region near where the ar-
mies of the rebellion had sometimes camp
ed, and the host, who was a gloomy faced
countryman of the regulation “bush-
whacker” type, made a strong eflort to be
genial, not to say agreeable,with his north-
ern guest. In the course of conversation
it leaked out that both were veterans, and,
as usual, each wished to find out how
much the other knew of his own side in
the conflict.
Virginia was the great theatre of battle,
and a Virginian incident mentioned to a
veteran of the Old Dominion forces is cer-
tain to call out the response, “I was there,
too.” One affair of arms which the New
Yorker’s presence recalled to the Confeder-
ate on this occasion weighed on the mind
of the latter until the night was nearly
spent. Although the story was one Of
comedy rather than tragedy, the south-
erner needed to be well warmed up for
reminiscences before he would reveal the
one phase of his war experience with
which this involved him. It was astory
of night riding a. la Mosby.
“You all had one , dawgawnd hard
fighter we all wanted bad to get hold of,
and we had a watch on him in these parts
all the way from 1862 to 1863, but never
could get him away from his command.
The man was Gen. Bartlett. Mebbe you
know him, for he was from York state.”
“Yes, he is my neighbor and comrade,”
replied the colonel. “I don’t envy you any
sport you got in fighting him. His own
men called him ‘Little Fighting Joe.’ He
enrolled as private in 1861, and at Appo-
mattox had the honor to receive the arms
Lee’s men laid down at surrender. He
was then major general by brevct. Your
people shot him often, but you never made
him prisoner.”
“No, nor would we if the war kept on
till this time, at leastnot alive. I was in
a plot. to steal him and carry him to Rich-
mond, for to tell the truth our business
was not open and square work—not all
the time. In 1863, after Gettysburg, Gen.
BartIett came down here with a small de-
tachment to picket the roads leading to
the Rappahannock, and he scattered his
men so that there wasn’t a battalion in
any one place that he could call together
under some hours. His headquarters were
guarded by infantry sentries, and after his
outposts were passed it looked easy for a
party of us to gobble him up and get away
before his main camps could hear of the
raid.
“Our colonel laid the plot and called for
picked men. It was for glory, of course,
for our side didn’t give any bounties, and j
the colonel said it would make our fort- ’
unes at Richmond in way of promotions if
we secured Gen. Bartlett alive. I thought
we had him fast now, because some of our
men lived inside of your lines as things
were just then, and any Of us could go in
and out at night unseen by our foes. But
in order to make off securely with such a
prize we would have to ride, for we would
be discovered and chased, of course, and
we arranged to seize a few picket posts qui-
etly, dash in, mounted, to his quarters,
and during the panic of surprise seize him
and gallop away before the infantry could
stop us. The party rendezvoused at this
house, then kept by my father. I went
along as guide, having been at home all
my life on this sod.
“IVO had a good company of about sixty
men and a whole battalion, with the colonel
at the head, in saddle, to meet us on the
return in case we should be followed up
and need help. then we reached your
supposed picket line on the way in not a
se tincl was to be seen. Our friends, you
see, had attended to that, and wetrot‘ted
on coolly and reached the fence just beside
Gen. Bartlett’s tent, and there got‘our first
challenge to halt. There wasn’t ashotzfired,
although headquarter guards were all
about, and soon saw the mischief brewing
and gave alarm by word of mouth. This
queer way of doing things was a puzzled-ours,
for we had our revolvers in hand,.e_xpecting
to use them. We didn’t wait long for asig—

the fence—cavalrymen don’t take to fight-
ing on foot—and others dashed for the tent.
Then two figures in sleeping dress came
out Of the tent, and one of them blazed
away in our faces at ten paces, and the
other ran in bare feet to the guard camp to
summon the laggards who hung back.
The man who stood so gamcly was Bartlett,
and after all our resolutions there wasn’t
one of us cool enough to attack him. We
could have shot him down, but that was
not orders, so we had to face his fire and
not return it.
“The other figure in airy night dress
soon came on with a squad of men and or-
dered them to clear the fence. Such clum-

sy work I had never seen;- but it is always

open fire, for they didn’t know whether we
numbered a dozen or a thousand, and we
didn’t know whether this was simply a
body guard before us or the advance of a
whole camp. The ringing of the ramrods
as the guards loaded their pieces for work’
brought a crisis, and our leader said we

were there to make a capture and not to
fight a battle; so we wheeled away, ex-
changing shots with a few scattered pick-
ets that had now discovered our stealthy
incursion. But let me tell on that Gen.
Bartlett was the best man met in the
war. He got oflf his bed at midnight, and
single handed kept us all busy while his
guards got on the ground, and he did it as
easily as I shoot rats in the corn crib. I
can’t help laughing at the sight he made
in bare feet and only one garment on—not
a dignified thing for a general at the front,
but he was cock of the walk all the time.
N ow if he’d been a chicken our boys would
have landed him in Libby prison in-twenty-
four hours.”
I had served under General Bartlett
until the spring of 1863, and afterward had
missed the details of his army life until
the campaign of 1864. None of my asso-
ciate comrades had heard the particulars,
and Bartlett was out of the country. I
thought no more about the ex—Confederate’s
strange account until a dozen years had
passed, or if I thought of it it was simply
as one of the many inventions based upon
some slight incident that do duty as war
reminiscences. I told the story once at a
banquet where all the company were old
companions-in-arms of the hero of it, but
no one had heard of the affair, and while
every one present held the opinion that it
was just like “Joe” to come through an
experience of the kind in dashing manner,
it was accepted as a myth that would bear
telling, yet was not history. At length
the general came home from his long wan-
derings, and meeting him in a little com-
pany of veterans for a talk about old times
I inquired about the night attack on him
in 1863. He evaded the subject in the
presence of others. but as we separated he
took me one side and said:
“Meet me to—morrow at Col. \V—’s of-
fice and I will tell you all about it. I will
know more about it myself then than I
do now.”
If the hero of episode was obliged to take
a night to recall his part in it I couldn’t
reasonably expect any very thrilling nar-
rative. But the appointment was met, and
the Union side of the story as he gave it to
me fitted the Confederate account told in
the Virginia barroom years before. Said
the general: “I dined last night with the
man who planned that raid on me, and
now I know both sides of it, which I did
not when we were together yesterday. I
refer to COL E. P. G. Lewis, formerly of
Virginia. We met under rather romantic
circumstances, for he now occupies the
mansion on the old Capt. Stevens estate on
the heights of the Hudson—Stevens the
famous naval architect and inventor of
our government. Col. Lewis comes into
the estate through marriage with Capt.
Stevens’ granddaughter, widow of Gen.
Garnett, of the Confederate army. When
I reached the door of his mansion last
night he met me, and our acquaintance be-
gan by his saying, ‘I won’t receive you,
general, as hostilcly as you did my men
when we wanted you to come with us down
in Virginia.’ ”
Gen. Bartlett saw before him a tall and
splendid figure of the courtly style, and be—
fore the visit ended was doubly glad that
acquaintance with the old ranger had
not begun as originally planned by
the southerner in 1863 under the
rigors of war. The Confederate leader
had never forgiven his men for failing 4 in
the effort to capture and was more cha-
grined than ever, On his professional side,
when his guest of 1883 told him how it all

occurred. The luckless rangers had of
course presented a good report at the time
and magnified the numbers and prowess of
Bartlett’s defenders.
“The truth,” said Gen. Bartlett, “is that
my guard cleaned their muskets that after-
noon preparatory to inspection the follow-
ing morning, and there wasn’t a single
loaded gun in my camp when your men
came upon me. My aid, Maj. L. C. Bart-
lett, had broken his revolver and placed it
with the gunsmith of the brigade to re-
pair. My holster pistols were in my ser-
vant’s tent, and all I had at hand was a
little pocket revolver that I always kept
on my person for emergencies. When the
raiders awoke me I staggered out, but half
awake, and not knowing what it meant;
but I heard your men grappling at the
fence and whispering orders, andso blazed
away with my little toy. Maj. Bartlett ran
tO‘the guard house for help, and I really
stood there alone and not a man except
my sleeping servant within ten rods of me
while your crowd was only about seven
paces off. To make it worse, the fifth shot
that I fired blew the nipple out of my
pistol, scorched my hand and forehead and
temporarily blinded my right eye. But I
snapped away on the crippled weapon just
to show fight, and in a few minutes the
guards came on with loaded pieces and
drove your party away. I blamed my peo-
ple for not bagging your whole crew. But
in night skirmishes you cannot count on
anything.” GEO. L. KILMER.
A Unique Calculation.
The writer is the owner of a curious lit-
tle book published by Gasper Schott in
1567', entitled “Magia Universalis Naturaa
ct Artis,” wherein the author, among
other Odd things, attempts a mathematical
calculation of the number of “graces and
glories.” According to his computation
there are exactly 115,792,089,237,316,195,423,-
570,985,008,637,907,853,269,984,665,640,564,039,—
457,5S4,007,913,129,639,936, which will surely
be enough to go around and have plenty of
grace and glory left. In proof that his cal-
culation is accurate he says that the sum
represented by the above figures is the two
hundred and fifty-sixth power of the num-
ber two. “That the number two and its
two hundred and fifty-sixth power have to
do with grace and glory he does not say.
Others haye attempted to solve the prob-
lem by transposing in every possible way
the letters in the well knOWn quotation:

the stars of heaven are numbered.”—St.

The Biggest Hotel in the World.
The Grand Quarantine hotel at Flores
Island, at the mouth of the River Plate, is
not only the largest inthe worldTbut the
strangest. While the accommodations are
poor the people will stop there, no matter
how anxious they are to get away. The
hotel combines an international boarding
house, a military camp, 3. prison and a sea-
side resort. Thc sovereignty of the island
is vested in the republic of Uruguay. In
the early months of the year Rio de J aneiro
is placed under a sanitary boycott by the
people of the River Plate, and not a person
is allowed to pass Flores Island until he has
been at sea at least ten days. That accounts
for the big business at the hotel.
The guests come in boat loads from 300
to 600 at a time. There are first-class pas-
sengers, immigrants and a number of in»-
termediate classes. Upon arriving at the
hotel the crowd is assorted and packed
away. Packed is a good word in this case,
for you are entirely at the mercy of the
management. If you make protest the
officials shrug their shoulders and say they
are indeed sorry, but they speak only the
pure Spanish language. They will put six
or seven in a room.
If you don’t like that you can get out,
but you will soon return; for it is the only
place on theisland where you can step. A
permanent garrison is maintained on the
island, and it includes a commandant, a
physician, a secretary of state, lighthouse
keepers, postmaster and telegraph ope-
raters. Every morning during pleasant
weather a tugboat comes down from
Montevideo with letters and provisions.
When a norther is blowing those on the
island are placed'on short rations.
Think of stopping at the biggest hotel
in the world and of not being able to get
but one or two meals a day, with bananas
for one of the meals! I had this experience
during a storm when the tug did not arrive
for five days. When I was on the island
there wem over 1,000 guests at the hotel.—
Interview in Chicago Tribune.
A Steeple Painter Talks.
A-veteran steeple painter says that he is
as much at home on the top of ‘a 200 feet
spire as he is down on the ground. He
adds: “It is now over twenty years since I
went into the steeple painting business. My
usual method is to climb up in the belfry
tower and then grope my way up among
the rafters and beams until I get to a.point
quite near the apex. Then I bore a hole
through the wooden sides, cut a small
opening and let drop an inch rope. Often
the old spires have not been touched for
years; and as I slowly clamber upward on
the inside, groping about in the darkness,
I frighten from their haunts scores of bats
and other birds of night, with an occa-
sional pigeon or a flock of songsters which
have come there to build their nests.
“When I get the rope running free
through the small apeture I make a sling
in one end, don my working clothes, and
a trusty friend by means of block and
tackle hoists Inc to my pinnacle in mid-
air. Then I begin to scrape or paint, as
the case may be, heeding nothing that is
going on about me. High up in the air
the sounds of earth are lost to me, and
were it not for the occasional screaming of
the birds circling my head I would be liv—
ing and working in a world of silence. I
never look down, for if I did I would prob-
ably grow dizzy and be dashed to pieces in
a fearful fall to earth.”—Detroit Free Press.
Responsibility.
“I’m so sorry to go,” said a lady, after
making a long afternoon call, “but I prom-
ised to be home before tea.”
“Oh, do stay, and I’ll explain it to your
husband,” said the hostess, who had just
been urging the same invitation.
“Don’t you do it!” came her nephew’s
voice from the next room. “Don’t let her
lead you into misdemeanors that you will
be punished for afterward. She used to
coax me in just that same way and then I
had to suffer for it.”
“Nonsense, Henry!” said his aunt.
“That’s nothing but- a yarn. Don’t take
any notice of it, Mrs. Bell, but stay to tea.”
“You see, when I was here in school,”
pursued the ruthless nephew, “we lived out
of town, and I was expected to be at home
every night before dark. Once a week I
used to run in to call on auntie, and she
always persuaded me to stay to tea, and so
go home in the evening; and when I said
father would settle with me afterward she
used to say, ‘Oh, just stay, and I’ll take the
responsibility.’ "‘
“lVell, didn’t she take it?” asked the
visitor.
“ch,” was the reply; “she took the re-
sponsibility, but I took the whipping!”—

did not loan money for special purposes.
“But this is especial purpose. Give it

and then pulling avdollar from his pocket
said: “All right. .Happy to oblige you.
I haven’t a quarter in change, but you
give me your seventy-five cents and I’ll
give you the dollar.”

An Episode of the IIIetropolis.
A tall elderly German, with a full gray
beard, came out of the postof‘fice about 2
o’clock in the afternoon and started across
Park row. Before he reached the curb-
stone 8. man rushed up to him, deftly drew
his gold watch from his vest pocket, wrung
it off the chain and started to run. Before
he got beyond arms’ length, however, the
old gentlemen collared him. The man
coolly handed back the watch and said, “I
ain’t done nothin’.” “Police!” shouted
the old man, still retaining his grip on the
thief’s collar. There was no policeman in
sight, but the thief did not wait to see one.
\Vith a quick movement he withdrew him—
self from the coat and ran off through the
fast gathering crowd. The old man stood
speechless for a moment or two, with his
the other. Then he slowly walked off 111)
