Health in Collecting Autographs.

Mr. Ferdinand J. Dreer, who has resided
the greater portion of his life- at 1,520
Spruce street, is distinguished as an anti-
quarian. Mr. Dreer is a native of Phila-
delphia; having been born in this city on
the 2d of March, 1812. For many years he
was engaged in the manufacture of gold
ware and assaying, but he retired from
no ~'ve business in 1862. It was in 1849 that
he’ rSt commenced his collection of auto-
graphs With a letter of Lord Stirling, of
Revolutionary fame, as a nucleus. At that
time he had not the slightest idea to What
an extreme his inclination would lead; but
finding after a few months that be derived
great pleasure, and that his health, which
was well nigh broken down by excessive
work, improved by autograph gathering,
he continued to indulge his love for the
fascinating amusement until the present
time, when his collection has grown to the
enormous size of considerably over %,000
autograph letters signed, repaired and in-
deXed.

Rest.

Two gentlemen were looking at a paint-
ing of a corn field in France, a typical
French corn field, in which poppies shone
out here and there among the corn. “It
reminds me,” said one, “of something
Ralph Waldo Emerson said to me when I
was a young-man.

“I had told him that I was'tired out, and

was going away for a long rest; told him'

how I intended to Occupy my leisure, spoke
enthusiastically of my prospective travels

' and outof—door sports. I could enjoy a
lifetime of such plans.

“He had listened with sympathetic inter-
est, but at my last remark something in
'his face prompted me to ask, ‘You do not
think those things a waste of time, Mr.
Emerson?’

“ ‘No,’ he replied, ‘oh, no; but the poppy
should always grow in the corn field.’ ”

In that exquisitely poetical phrase the
philosopher-poet and preacher fixed the
truth that work is the complement, the fit
and best accompaniment of recreation;
truth that inspired another poet to write:

Rest is not quitting the busy career;
Rest is the fitting of self to its sphere.
—Youths’ Companion.

How Onyx Is M'lncd.

Onyx is got out in as large blocks as it
can be quarried. The quarrying has to be
done with wedges and saws, as it cannot
be blast-ed or dug out with safety. The
grain and streaks are so delicate that a
blast might spoil thousands of dollars’
worth. One cave of onyx was mined by
the use of powder. The man who owned
the cave started to get out the onyx by the
slow process of saws and wedges. He got
out several car loads, when the thought
struck him that he could take all the onyx
out of the cave at one blast. So he put his
men to work and drilled around the cave,
arranging his blast so that he would have
$40,000 or $50,000 worth of onyx to be
shipped at once. The drill holes were
charged and the blast was exploded. None
of the onyx was fit for use except in
mosaics and such work. There was not a
sound bit four feet long in the cave. This
taught the other onyx miners a lesson,
and no shocks and blasts or detonations
’ are allowed in the cave or in the neighbor-
hood for fear that the onyx may be cracked
or that some small cracks may be en-
larged—New York Sun.

Col. \Villiam 01'-
ton Williams, C.
S. A., who with
his cousin, Lieut.
Walter, G. Peter,

/‘ was executed by

the Union author-

ities in June, 1863,

ened his career
in the civil war with an a air of the heart
and ended it on the gallows, “all for love.”

It is amatter of astonishment when one
thinks of it that intelligent men should
deliberately place their necks in a deadly
noose by taking up the role of a spy- The
laws of war admit of no evasion. A soldier
found in the opposing lines in disguise, no
matter what his errand, has forfeited his
life. The actions of Williams and Peter,
and for which they suffered the full pen—
alty, were of the boldest and most reckless
known in military history.

While Rosecrans’ Army of the Cumber-
land was lying in central Tennessee in the
spring of 1863‘the advance” lines extended
from Murfreesboro’”, On Stone’s river, to
Franklin, on the Harpeth, thus cOvering
Nashville, Which was'_=thet.Union. base of
supplies; ‘ At Franklin the extreme right
was guarded by Fort Gfiynger, a large forti—
fication on a bluff 200 feet above the river
and town, and commanding all the bridges
in the vicinity. In front of this fort in
May, 1863,‘was stationed a force of Con—
federate cavalry, under Gen. Earl Van
Dorn, while Wheeler, Forrest and Morgan
were circling about the Union flanks, seek-
ing a loose joint in Rosecrans’ harness to
thrusts. column between his main army
and his base at Nashville.

At Fort Granger, especially, the on t-
posts were Wary, and in fact there was
constant skirmishing between Union
pickets and mounted Confederate scouts
at this point. It was therefore with con-
siderable surprise that the videttes before
the fort one evening saw two men in the
uniforms of Union officers riding boldly
up from the direction of the Confederate
camps. On examination it was found
that they bore orders from the Union
secretary of war and from Rosecrans’
headquarters, and they were admitted and
sent before the commandant, Col. John P.
Baird, of the Eighty-fifth Indiana volun-
teers. The official papers presented to
C01. Baird were as fellows:

Col. Lee resigned to join the Confederacy

” Lieut. Williams received a sterninjuno

This, like a loyal other, he promised, and
doubtless intended to do, but like a loyal
lover, also, he crossed the Potomac secret-
ly and kept regular trysts with fair Elea-
nor. But some telltale evidence reached
the ears of Scott, and the daring Romeo
was sent away to” prison at Fort Lafayette,

New York harbor. He was released from’

Lafayette in J une and immediately entered
the southern service. 1

Williams was the son of a prominent
topographical engineer of the regular
army, was a descendant of the Custises
and Martha Washington, and therefore a
relative of Mrs. Robert E. Lee. -

Williams before his advent as a spy,
had won him a place on the staff of Gen.
Bragg in Tennessee, where, also, his cousin.
Lieut. Peter, another scion of the Custis
branch, was on duty. _

Men the mysterious pair came before
Col. Baird at Fort Granger that evening
their forged documents had the desired
effect. Baird was a volunteer colonel and
not very particular as to forms. There
were many discrepancies. patent to any
soldier on close inspection. Besides, they
were not written on the printed blanks
customary in the army. 'To'amount for
their general condition the strangers stated
that they had been surprisedby Confed-

erates on their way, that their orderlies

and baggage had been lost in the skirmish
and that two citizen’s overcoats which
were strapped on their saddle bags had
been obtained as substitutes . for the ones
lost. They inspected Fort Granger min-
utely, and after borrowing fifty dqllars of
Col. Baird to help them on their j‘hurney
rode off in the darkness toward Nashville.

While they was passing out of the fort
the commander of the Union cavalry under
Baird, Col. L. D. Watkins, rode in from
the outposts, and catching a glimpse of the
strangers as they crossed the light of a
camp fire be suspected something, and

went at once to Baird for explanation- ‘

Baird answered according to his belief that
the men were inspecting ofi‘icers on duty.
Watkins said promptly: “There must be
some mistake. I recognize one of them as
an old army officer, now in the Confederate
service.” With these words he started, fol-
lowed by his single orderly, to overtake
the strangers. On coming up to them he
politely stated that Col. Baird wished to
see them further, and after some hesitation
they returned, acting as though they had
every confidence in themselves and those
about them. They were armed and might
have fought off these two enemies easily.
Col. Watkins escorted the pair to his own
camp, nearer to the scene of encounter

than was Baird’s, and sent for that officer.
As soon as the suspects were seated in the
tent a cordon of men surrounded the out-

side, and thus guardedthey met. a second _

interview.

The collapse of the scheme was rapid and
complete, as is the case With all high handed
conspiracies when they come to grief. A
more moderate effort might have carried
through, notwithstanding a few flaws.

Here the transgression was damnablef or _
it was nothing at all. » Themen became-
impatient at the delay of Col. Baird, and ‘

finally demanded explanations from Col.
\Vatkins. He told them frankly that they
were under suspicion and surrOunded;by
guards. W'hen Col. Baird came on . the
scene the arms and uniforms of the prison-
ers were minutely examined, and it was
found that with the exception- of some
outer covering all their propertyand'equip-
ments were marked “C. S. A.”

' Meanwhile, as soon as Col. Watkins ex-
pressed to Col. Baird at the first meeting
doubts of the genuineness of the special
inspectors, the latter had telegraphed to
Rosecrans’ headquarters and ascertained
that there were no such officers as Col.
Anton and Maj. Dunlap known there.
“False in one thing false in all,” and hence
if the Rosecrans order was bogus the rest
might be taken for granted. A drumhead
court-martial was called at once at Baird’s
headquarters. Fort Granger and all the
forts in the vicinity were put under arms,
as it was supposed that the spies were co-
operating with some Confederate attacking
column.

As soon as the court was organized the
prisoners confessed, and at 3:30 o’clock on
the morning of June 9, less than twelve
hours after they had entered the Union
lines, the spies were under doom of death.

,An hour later Gen. Rosecrans telegraphed

Baird to hang them at once. The prison-
ers protested, denying that they were spies,
although admitting their disguises. Fi-
nally W'illiams appealed to Rosecrans by
telegraph for clemency “for the 'son of
Capt. \Villiams, who fell ' at Monterey,
Mexico.” A second appeal asked that both
mi ht die the death of a soldier by bullets.
Al was denied, and at 9 o’clock in the
forenoon the flies stood under a cherry

he scene was affecting. From the mo-
ment of the startling denouement” the ut-
most cordiality had prevailed. between-the
prisoners and their judges. Col. \Vatkins,
one of the old army with Williams, took
charge of the effects of the condemned
men, and Williams presented his former
comrade—the man to whom he owed the
fearful doom before him—his black war
stallion as a memento of old times. At the
Lieut. Peter broke down,
when Williams rallied him by calling out,
“Dry those tears, Peter; let us die like
brave men.”
