consequently fic I sat in the office of Dr things in general final ly the conversation changed and the late war was talked of called out In a picture of Sheridans ride that hung Over the I believe I never told you I figured us a detective during the said the doctor I will loll you of one instance that happened in this city and if you you can vaite it out for pub The papers an ink ing of it at the Very well spin your We give the doctors story as near as we can recollect I was at the time of which I speak stationed in Cincinnati I hed a cap tains commission being in the adju taut generals department Previous ly while in Washington City I had become very well acquainted with Secretary Stanton One day 1 re a letter from him asking ine to employ half a dozen detectives and set them to work hunting up desert ers and to perform such other duties as may trom time to time be required of them I employed several of our best officers and put them to work We sent several renegades back to their regiments but had done noth ing of importance One day I re a dispatch from Stanton to look out for a Mrs when at home some miles north ol protestations and assurances that I had already taken everything she had that contraband of war she fi nally retired to her room and brought mo the skirt and such a one it was On examination I found it contained nearly a thousand dollars worth of quinine Aa I learned afterward two of them had been three months in quilting the into the gar ment On the morning following that on which I made the arrest I entered my office a little late and as I expect ed found Mrs Longmead sister to one prisoner and daughter of T I did not seem to recognize her but took a seat and inquired if I to promote her to get a could do welfare Yes sir I have called pass to go to You do not need a pass madam Our troops hold every point between his and I cannot but if there any trouble you can get one at But I understand that you are ar esting ladies right here in Yes we did arrest your mother nd sister yesterday Mrs Loug The effect was She sprang to her feet with all the fury and malignity of a tiger in her How dare you sir address me as Mrs Longmead I dont know you Ah perhaps you remember one certain at Oxford some years have not tho faintest idea of who Cincinnati but in an adjoining MC are Undor a ty The Secretary said he had it on good authority that Mrs Longmead was carrying dispatches from the en emy Without giving the detectives a hint of the news I had heard them to notify me of any fresh arriv als of ladies at the hotels I knew Mrs very well i as she attended the same college mistake for my name is not Long I know you did not register at the Broadway under that name but nev real name is Mrs Long At the Broadway When did I i arrive there On Thursday with me at Oxford gome years bei fore A detective notified me that there was a strange lady stopping at the i what gave me a Broadway He tion of her aid I felt sure it was although I told him he was mistaken I then sent for another detective whom I had select ed for the purpose and told him to take board at the Broadway and watch the movements of a certain lady dressed in black A few days after this occurrence with to do I shall be compelled to place you under guard so give me the keys to your trunk and I will have your baggage searched and then sent to Mrs Longmead acknowledged that she caught and requested to be sent to tho Barnet House with her mother and sister and thither we did send her I now telegraphed to Stanton that the birds had been caged and request they be turned over to the ried back to her carriage and giv a pass and sent northward ing At another time she had some dis patches to send southward Ther was a regiment of soldiers going up the Kentucky Central railroad day Dressed as an Irish charaete girl and she could assume the tor to she succeeded ir getting one of the soldiers to pass hei on the train as his wife After the train had stated tho au at Cincinnati learned had gone and suspecting her errand telegraphed to Lexington giving a description of the woman and order ing her arrest but by some means no action was taken until tho next morning In tho the train had arrived at Lexington Mrs Longmead walked two milein the country borrowed a twelve miles further aud meeting a man on the road whom she knew give him her dispatches and told him lo de liver them at u certain rebel generals hoa She then road back to whore the horse had been borrow ed and afterward rodo to Lexington and unmolested took the afternoon train for Tho authorities learning that she had gone to the country on her arrival at Lexington wore in hot pursuit when got into Lexington she far on her way A dispatch was forwarded to a prominent detective to arrest her by all means on hei arrival in that city Some friendly station operator placed a copy of this dis pach in her hand She was then in a great strait However she did not j despair Seeing Leslin Coombs wife and daughter sitting a few seats ahead of her in the coach she set down near them and soon drew the ladies into conversation She told them that her husband was a soldier and that she had induced him to desert and for this offense she was to be arrested on her arrival at Covington Her pitiful story with many tears enlisted the sympathy of the Indies and finally of the venera ble himself At rhat

bring them up to the office under arrest An hour af terwards the officers came to the of fice with the ladies and two very large trunks I of course ignorance and inquired the cause of the trouble They

prison suitable for the incarceration of ladies they must choose a hotel where they would be kept in a room under guard They made choice of House and thither they were conveyed in a hack As assisting Miss Sehuyler into the hack and defending her skirts from contact with the wheel of tbe vehicle I became aware that her dress was unusually weighty however I said nothing but when we reached the

always took me along when he visited them at tho Burnet House I talked to Mrs while the general talked to the moth er and daughter Now it so hap that in the Generals younger days Mrs Longmead had been his sweetheart and never did I see a wo man so artfully wrap a man around her finger as Mrs Longmead did the General The result was that these three female spies went scot free It was during these conversations that Mrs Longmead confessed to parts she had taken When the war began she went to Canada and there by some means op p apers certifying that she was a British subject She then went to Washington and obtained the signa ture of the British minister and then to Stanton and on the of her a pass through the Union lines to Richmond After transacting her business she came west and

College N Oct 25 71 has it been the lot of the students of our ancient college to engage in exercises of 1 more mournful character than those of yesterday when they paid therr last to the remains of 1 son of Gen Rodger A Pryor and a graduate of the class of 0 leaving us with the highest honors ever gained in the college with one exception and that tion Aaron Burr he passed a year at Cambridge England where he repeated his triumphs On Sabbath eve the 15th inst he left ins hope in Brooklyn and for a tidings of him wore heard by his frightened friends On the suc Sabbath their worst fears were realized by the discovery of his body floating in the East There is little doubt that ho met his death by his own act the result of insanity His remains were brought here yesterday and received by the students of who escorted them to the church in the largest procession wo may safe ly say that ever followed a fellow student from this institution After suitable addresses by Drs MDonald and Vandyke the pastor of the de ceased and President the sad procession moved to the ry where they their last tribute to the memory of our worthy fellow student He now lies with chose who our college and our church love to honor Over his dust Old Kassau will ever bend with a mothers tenderness and his pure memory will add another fadeless garland to those with which she is already crowned M H people Ho took the old old story God so loved tho and though liis theme was trite his earnest words went home like arrows Ja bez Jny who was wont to bolt upright through Even with his dull perception ho found strong force and strength in Paul Carlins extempore sermon There were kindly words for the minister that morning and none but God and himself knew through what shadows he had walked but he has pinned across his desk the brief words of the unfinished sermon which tell him his weakness and his strength This then is the point of weakness Tho enemy of souls is watching where the armor shows the weakest THE HOLES OP TREE correspondent of the England Farmer relates the experience of a neighbor in destroy ing apple tree borers by plugging up the holes they make in the tree He says that his friend while making an examination last spring of one of his trees found several holes with signs at work He soon too much of a job to follow them with wire or chisel so he dug around the roots scraped off the rough bark from roots and trunk found all the holes than he took common putty and plugged them all up perfectly tight On day after doing this he visited tho tree removing tho putty found to his surprise four bor ers dead all of which came out with the plugging By this process he de the borers without cutting the roots or trunk of the tree which is as injurious as the work of tho bor er as I have often found it necessary to cut quite deep in order to reach the rascals Irom the irregularity of the direction of their course also found much difficulty in fishing them out with a barbed wire AN OLD The action of a railroad conductor a few days since draws attention to a common popular error The train struck a man on the track and threw him up on the cowcatcher of the engine Supposing him to be dead the con ductor without removing tho body started the train back to a way sta tion The body was shaken to the ground by the motion of the engine and it was found that life still re mained Had he been taken off when the accident first occurred there might have been a chance of recovery The conductor when when asked why the man was not at once taken up replied that he had no right to remove a body until a coroner had seen it Singular as it nay appear it nevertheless expresses i superstition that exists almost uni throughout the country among all classes At what period r in what manner this absurd belief we cannot say It may ave grown out of a statute of Ed vard which rendered it impera ive that the jury should hold tions super vision within ight of the body a

were demanded for the job but the emperor gave six ducats The blacksmith returned them to the traveler saying Sir you haye made a mistake and in stead of six sols have given me six pieces instead
