John Morgan, the famous Confederate raider, visited Libby prison, early in '04, he said : "There is no undertaking in the world tbut you have not men in thin prison i|iialilied for; that's why it is strange that more of you fellows don't try to gel away." In Libby prison, ut the time of Morgan's visit, there were about 1,400ohVers, from beardless second lieutenants, in their teens, to griz-zled leaders of brigade* and divis inns. These men came not only from every state and territory in our own land, bill they represented the armies of nearly every Euro-pean nation. We hud lawyers, doctor*, clergymen, college profes-sors, engineers, editors, and every variety of skilled mechanic. Among the latter was ('apt. Cooper, of Connecticut, who had learned the trade of tailor in his youth, and who was conducting a large cloth ing -tore at Hartford when patriot-ism dominated pri ii' and sent biui into the army. Where every man "felt sick and mean,"' to use an expression com inon at that time, only the very sick and helpless were sent to the prison hospital, the eastern ground Boor of Libby. Dr. Sabal, the Confederate surgeon in charge of the prison hospital, was as gener-ous and sympathetic as lie was handsome and able, and that is saying much. This gentleman kept the hospital full, and the fact that it was much warmer than the other iiuarters made it » desirable place. A PROPOSITION. There is one ailment which, at the front or in prison, "old sol-diers" could assume without imme-diate fear of detection, and that is rheumatism. Rheumatism of the atl'coted character bus kept many u man, with more cunning than cour-age, out of the range of the ene-my's rilk-s. I was myself in the boepital recovering from typhoid pneumonia, when Capt. Cooper was brought down from the east room. Rheumatism in the legs had so crippled the captain that he could hardly crawl, but his arms appear-ed to'be all right. The nurses in ihe hospital were detailed Union wldiers who had been confined in '.he lVmberton building, a ware-house lower down and across the street from Libby. Capt. Cooper proved to be a jolly gtiod fellow; but it was noticed that when the Confederate authorities were not iboul his rheumatism did not seem to interfere with agile loco-motion. Where Cooper got his needles and thread I cannot imag-ine, but he had those coveted ap-pliances, and he used them to re-pair the damage* in the old uni-forms of his comrades. One day, while Cooper was sit-ting cross legged on his cot, re-pairing the rents in Capt. Rohan-nan's trousers, l,i Touche, the prison adjutant,came in and watch-ed the Hying needle with unusual interest. La Touche was a stout man. whose thick neck and florid face bespoke a love for good living. He was very neat in his person, a bachelor, and no end of a gallant, as we afterward learned. •See here, Captain," called out Adjt. La Touche, after he had watched Cooper for some time, ■•are you a regular tailor?' "That is my trade," replied Cooper. "Think you could make me a full drees uiiform if 1 furnished you the materials?" was the next question. "Yes, if I had your measure and a plate to go by."' Ob, we have" no plates, but I can give you the details. I know all about 'em." Then the Confederate adjutant went on to say that he had secured all the materials, but that tailoring had become so ex-pensive in the Confederate capital as to preclude the making up of the clothe*. •• You see," continued La Touche, "there ia to be a ball at the state house in two weeks, and if I could have the suit made up at u reasona-ble price, in time for that event, it would lake a great load off my mind." \ bin ruicB. Confederate money had depre hard-working man needs more and better feed than one who's doing nothing. So if you could let me have a little on account from time to time it would give me nerve for the work." La Touche took the hint and left $100, As there were no dangerous cases in the hospital at this time, the visits of Dr. Sabal and his as-sistants were confined to the morn-ing and evening. On such occa-sions Cooper had his work hidden away under his blanket, and his rheumatism was invariably 'No better, sir." Wiih nothing to read anil only the old home or the present silua-tion to think of, lime hung like an ever crushing weight on the bands of the prisoners. Rut as soon as Cooper started in to work >n the boapltal every man who could crawl from his blanket gathered about to watch. Every day, soon after noon, La Touche danced silently into the hospital to be titled and to see how the work of art was progressing. At each visit he grew more delight-ed. "I'll have it ready the day be fore the ball," said Cooper. All. HAH THE SAME IDEA. The night before this gray, blue aud gold was completed —it had already been paid for— Capt. Singer of the !13rd Ohio, who had about recovered from a gunshot wound in the thigh, received at C'hickauiauga, drew me to one side and said : ' I have a plan for escape, and I want you to help rue." -Of course III do it," I said. "Rut why not let me in?" "1 can't." "Why not!" "Because, confound it, there is only one suit!" Singer then went on to explain that he had planned to take La Touches uniform from under Cooper's head, and, after putting it on, pass out, when the guards were changed at daylight the next morning. Now, ever since the cloth began to assume form, this idea had taken shape in my mind, and I SO told Singer. We drew lots to see which should try it, and my com panion won. In my anxiety to see how Singer made out I kept awake all night. On larceny intent, he left my side about an hour before daylight. I watched him moving to where Cooper lay, about fifty feet away. Then followed a long silence. A half hour passed, and I was wondering at Singer's slowness, when Cooper's angry voice broke the stillness: "A man who'll try to steal from a fellow soldier in prison is no man at all!" he said; but he did not raise his voice so as to be heard by the guards outside. "Uut the stuff isn't yours; it be-longs to the enemy," Singer pro tested, hotly. "Belongs to the enemy, eh? Not by a long sight it doesn't. That uniform's mine. Why, confound you, ever since La Touche left this afternoon I've been at work reduc-ing the girth so that it'll lit myself." • You are going to try it your self?" "I am. captain," chuckled Cooper. "Now, old fellow, go back to your blanket, and if you keep your mouth closed and your eyes open you'll soon see one of the best-I dressed confederate officers in Rich-mond waluing out of t.iis prison, with a hundred dollars in graybacks in his pocket." Singer came hack, but there was no need to report, as I had overheard all. si iKiiii coountes. Cooper's purpose was soon known to all the men in the hospital. It was also known that the doctors came in at !l in the morning, and that La Touche would be on hand for his uniform at 12, and between tluse hours Cooper must make his attempt. The doctors left at 9::t0, and the guards about the prison were changed,at 10. As soon as the doctors went out. Cooper, who kept on his old clothes, for he was a thin man—we were all thin then —slipped on the uniform, which included a gray cap, with a perfect maze of gold lace on the crown. We had never seen such a trans-formation. The new guard had been on aboul llfteea minutes when Cooper laid his hand on the door. He took no leave, and made no fuss. He reasoned very properly that the new guard, seeing he was an officer, would suppose he had entered the hospital while the other guard was on, and had just completed his mis eion. At this instant Cooper's coolness ommei closed with a hang, and Cooper was free. The next we heard of him he was safe in Washington. I have seen some apoplectic anger, and have heard much fierce swear-ing in my time, but I never saw so angry a man as Adjutant La Touche when he came in for his clothes at noon and found the tailor had car-ried them off on his back. The last thing La Touche said, as he bounced out of the hospital, was: "If I catch that fellow (Sioper I'll shoot him ! ^4 never heard of such a doggone Yankee, trick !" —A i . is KI.

THIS GENERATIONS PROBLEM. Rev. Thomas J. Ducey Says That the World Is in a Revolt Against Monopoly. "As a priest of the Catholic church, I say to you from this pul-pit that the present conditions of the poor in the Unifd States can-not go on." This was the keynote of a ser-mon preached Sunday by the Rev. Thos. J Ducey in St. Leo's church. New York. Dr. Ducey said, among other tilings: "Every generation of the world's history is confronted by some im-portant problem, to the solution of which the best minds and ths truest hearts must lend every en-ergy. Our time has a vast prob-lem. The problem before the world today is the relief of man from the unjust burden heaped upon the great mass of the people by the concentrated power of wrong, the combination of ill got-ten wealth and unjust, priveleged legislation in favor of a class against the God given rights of the great masses. The social condi-tions of our lime have become des-potic and unbearable. The great reation in mass of the people are in revolt the world over, an I unless the Church | of Christ, directed by the spirit of j Jesus Christ, becomes the advo-cute of the people's cause and rights and forces into public life the truest and best men of the laud, who cannot and will not be purchased by trust kings and kings of monopoly, ths world will swing into a most disastrous revolution."

A Compromise That Will Likely Send Up Prices, l.ate this afternoon it was ru-mored on Wall street that the long-pending differences between the eugar trust and the Arhuokles, who thought they controlled the coffee market, had been adjusted on a substantial and laming basis. The rumor was given currency long aJter the exchanges closed and so could not affect the sugar market. No confirmation nor denial of the rumor could be obtained. It was further hinted that the tiavrmeyers capitulated to the cof-fee men and that the price of coffee would be sent up as a consequence, while sugar would keep il company or soar much bigber. The light between the Havemey-ers and ihe Arbucklcs dales back nearly two year*. '1 be Arbuckles sold sugar as well as coffee, and be cause of their enormous purchases of the Ilavemeyers they asked for a reduction in price* and were re-fused. The light then began and was carried to a point where the Ilavemeyers started an opposition coffee plant and undersold the Ar-buckles.— New York dispatch, S2d. s. It.

Kor nearly forty year* he had been pastor of the Presbyterian church in that city, and during all these years he was a leader of his church. He was a man of big brain, originality, vigor, power with God and man. He was a student and a scholar; uplifting, instructive and invigorating as a preacher; true, ju« and loving a» a man; a father whose instruction and example bore fruits in a family of strong and able children. It is rare as it is beautiful to see a preacher devote almost all his life to the pastorate of one church, hecrming so much a part of it that the children and young people come to regard his ministrations as almost essential to their growth in grace. He was a learned and not-ed divine when he went to Greens boro in 1869. With every passing year he grew in intellectual power as i" spiritual gifts, and was so es teemed that the thought of a chaiige of pastors was never pres ent to his people. He poured out the best that was in him for their improvement, and gave fully Ilia sympathy and love. Pastor and people were knit together by ties as strong as life. A short time ago, when he fell that he waB growing feeble, he retired from the active pastorate and was succeeded by his son. Rev. Egbert W. Smith. Though dead, it may be said with special truth, that Dr. Smith ••yet apeaketb." He leaves sons who worthily follow in bis foot-steps and worthily wear his mantle. —News and Observer.

John Morgan, the famous Confederate raider, visited Libby prison, early in '04, he said : "There is no undertaking in the world tbut you have not men in thin prison i|iialilied for; that's why it is strange that more of you fellows don't try to gel away." In Libby prison, ut the time of Morgan's visit, there were about 1,400ohVers, from beardless second lieutenants, in their teens, to griz-zled leaders of brigade* and divis inns. These men came not only from every state and territory in our own land, bill they represented the armies of nearly every Euro-pean nation. We hud lawyers, doctor*, clergymen, college profes-sors, engineers, editors, and every variety of skilled mechanic. Among the latter was ('apt. Cooper, of Connecticut, who had learned the trade of tailor in his youth, and who was conducting a large cloth ing -tore at Hartford when patriot-ism dominated pri ii' and sent biui into the army. Where every man "felt sick and mean,"' to use an expression com inon at that time, only the very sick and helpless were sent to the prison hospital, the eastern ground Boor of Libby. Dr. Sabal, the Confederate surgeon in charge of the prison hospital, was as gener-ous and sympathetic as lie was handsome and able, and that is saying much. This gentleman kept the hospital full, and the fact that it was much warmer than the other iiuarters made it » desirable place. A PROPOSITION. There is one ailment which, at the front or in prison, "old sol-diers" could assume without imme-diate fear of detection, and that is rheumatism. Rheumatism of the atl'coted character bus kept many u man, with more cunning than cour-age, out of the range of the ene-my's rilk-s. I was myself in the boepital recovering from typhoid pneumonia, when Capt. Cooper was brought down from the east room. Rheumatism in the legs had so crippled the captain that he could hardly crawl, but his arms appear-ed to'be all right. The nurses in ihe hospital were detailed Union wldiers who had been confined in '.he lVmberton building, a ware-house lower down and across the street from Libby. Capt. Cooper proved to be a jolly gtiod fellow; but it was noticed that when the Confederate authorities were not iboul his rheumatism did not seem to interfere with agile loco-motion. Where Cooper got his needles and thread I cannot imag-ine, but he had those coveted ap-pliances, and he used them to re-pair the damage* in the old uni-forms of his comrades. One day, while Cooper was sit-ting cross legged on his cot, re-pairing the rents in Capt. Rohan-nan's trousers, l,i Touche, the prison adjutant,came in and watch-ed the Hying needle with unusual interest. La Touche was a stout man. whose thick neck and florid face bespoke a love for good living. He was very neat in his person, a bachelor, and no end of a gallant, as we afterward learned. •See here, Captain," called out Adjt. La Touche, after he had watched Cooper for some time, ■•are you a regular tailor?' "That is my trade," replied Cooper. "Think you could make me a full drees uiiform if 1 furnished you the materials?" was the next question. "Yes, if I had your measure and a plate to go by."' Ob, we have" no plates, but I can give you the details. I know all about 'em." Then the Confederate adjutant went on to say that he had secured all the materials, but that tailoring had become so ex-pensive in the Confederate capital as to preclude the making up of the clothe*. •• You see," continued La Touche, "there ia to be a ball at the state house in two weeks, and if I could have the suit made up at u reasona-ble price, in time for that event, it would lake a great load off my mind." \ bin ruicB. Confederate money had depre hard-working man needs more and better feed than one who's doing nothing. So if you could let me have a little on account from time to time it would give me nerve for the work." La Touche took the hint and left $100, As there were no dangerous cases in the hospital at this time, the visits of Dr. Sabal and his as-sistants were confined to the morn-ing and evening. On such occa-sions Cooper had his work hidden away under his blanket, and his rheumatism was invariably 'No better, sir." Wiih nothing to read anil only the old home or the present silua-tion to think of, lime hung like an ever crushing weight on the bands of the prisoners. Rut as soon as Cooper started in to work >n the boapltal every man who could crawl from his blanket gathered about to watch. Every day, soon after noon, La Touche danced silently into the hospital to be titled and to see how the work of art was progressing. At each visit he grew more delight-ed. "I'll have it ready the day be fore the ball," said Cooper. All. HAH THE SAME IDEA. The night before this gray, blue aud gold was completed —it had already been paid for— Capt. Singer of the !13rd Ohio, who had about recovered from a gunshot wound in the thigh, received at C'hickauiauga, drew me to one side and said : ' I have a plan for escape, and I want you to help rue." -Of course III do it," I said. "Rut why not let me in?" "1 can't." "Why not!" "Because, confound it, there is only one suit!" Singer then went on to explain that he had planned to take La Touches uniform from under Cooper's head, and, after putting it on, pass out, when the guards were changed at daylight the next morning. Now, ever since the cloth began to assume form, this idea had taken shape in my mind, and I SO told Singer. We drew lots to see which should try it, and my com panion won. In my anxiety to see how Singer made out I kept awake all night. On larceny intent, he left my side about an hour before daylight. I watched him moving to where Cooper lay, about fifty feet away. Then followed a long silence. A half hour passed, and I was wondering at Singer's slowness, when Cooper's angry voice broke the stillness: "A man who'll try to steal from a fellow soldier in prison is no man at all!" he said; but he did not raise his voice so as to be heard by the guards outside. "Uut the stuff isn't yours; it be-longs to the enemy," Singer pro tested, hotly. "Belongs to the enemy, eh? Not by a long sight it doesn't. That uniform's mine. Why, confound you, ever since La Touche left this afternoon I've been at work reduc-ing the girth so that it'll lit myself." • You are going to try it your self?" "I am. captain," chuckled Cooper. "Now, old fellow, go back to your blanket, and if you keep your mouth closed and your eyes open you'll soon see one of the best-I dressed confederate officers in Rich-mond waluing out of t.iis prison, with a hundred dollars in graybacks in his pocket." Singer came hack, but there was no need to report, as I had overheard all. si iKiiii coountes. Cooper's purpose was soon known to all the men in the hospital. It was also known that the doctors came in at !l in the morning, and that La Touche would be on hand for his uniform at 12, and between tluse hours Cooper must make his attempt. The doctors left at 9::t0, and the guards about the prison were changed,at 10. As soon as the doctors went out. Cooper, who kept on his old clothes, for he was a thin man—we were all thin then —slipped on the uniform, which included a gray cap, with a perfect maze of gold lace on the crown. We had never seen such a trans-formation. The new guard had been on aboul llfteea minutes when Cooper laid his hand on the door. He took no leave, and made no fuss. He reasoned very properly that the new guard, seeing he was an officer, would suppose he had entered the hospital while the other guard was on, and had just completed his mis eion. At this instant Cooper's coolness ommei closed with a hang, and Cooper was free. The next we heard of him he was safe in Washington. I have seen some apoplectic anger, and have heard much fierce swear-ing in my time, but I never saw so angry a man as Adjutant La Touche when he came in for his clothes at noon and found the tailor had car-ried them off on his back. The last thing La Touche said, as he bounced out of the hospital, was: "If I catch that fellow (Sioper I'll shoot him ! ^4 never heard of such a doggone Yankee, trick !" —A i . is KI.

THIS GENERATIONS PROBLEM. Rev. Thomas J. Ducey Says That the World Is in a Revolt Against Monopoly. "As a priest of the Catholic church, I say to you from this pul-pit that the present conditions of the poor in the Unifd States can-not go on." This was the keynote of a ser-mon preached Sunday by the Rev. Thos. J Ducey in St. Leo's church. New York. Dr. Ducey said, among other tilings: "Every generation of the world's history is confronted by some im-portant problem, to the solution of which the best minds and ths truest hearts must lend every en-ergy. Our time has a vast prob-lem. The problem before the world today is the relief of man from the unjust burden heaped upon the great mass of the people by the concentrated power of wrong, the combination of ill got-ten wealth and unjust, priveleged legislation in favor of a class against the God given rights of the great masses. The social condi-tions of our lime have become des-potic and unbearable. The great reation in mass of the people are in revolt the world over, an I unless the Church | of Christ, directed by the spirit of j Jesus Christ, becomes the advo-cute of the people's cause and rights and forces into public life the truest and best men of the laud, who cannot and will not be purchased by trust kings and kings of monopoly, ths world will swing into a most disastrous revolution."

A Compromise That Will Likely Send Up Prices, l.ate this afternoon it was ru-mored on Wall street that the long-pending differences between the eugar trust and the Arhuokles, who thought they controlled the coffee market, had been adjusted on a substantial and laming basis. The rumor was given currency long aJter the exchanges closed and so could not affect the sugar market. No confirmation nor denial of the rumor could be obtained. It was further hinted that the tiavrmeyers capitulated to the cof-fee men and that the price of coffee would be sent up as a consequence, while sugar would keep il company or soar much bigber. The light between the Havemey-ers and ihe Arbucklcs dales back nearly two year*. '1 be Arbuckles sold sugar as well as coffee, and be cause of their enormous purchases of the Ilavemeyers they asked for a reduction in price* and were re-fused. The light then began and was carried to a point where the Ilavemeyers started an opposition coffee plant and undersold the Ar-buckles.— New York dispatch, S2d. s. It.

Kor nearly forty year* he had been pastor of the Presbyterian church in that city, and during all these years he was a leader of his church. He was a man of big brain, originality, vigor, power with God and man. He was a student and a scholar; uplifting, instructive and invigorating as a preacher; true, ju« and loving a» a man; a father whose instruction and example bore fruits in a family of strong and able children. It is rare as it is beautiful to see a preacher devote almost all his life to the pastorate of one church, hecrming so much a part of it that the children and young people come to regard his ministrations as almost essential to their growth in grace. He was a learned and not-ed divine when he went to Greens boro in 1869. With every passing year he grew in intellectual power as i" spiritual gifts, and was so es teemed that the thought of a chaiige of pastors was never pres ent to his people. He poured out the best that was in him for their improvement, and gave fully Ilia sympathy and love. Pastor and people were knit together by ties as strong as life. A short time ago, when he fell that he waB growing feeble, he retired from the active pastorate and was succeeded by his son. Rev. Egbert W. Smith. Though dead, it may be said with special truth, that Dr. Smith ••yet apeaketb." He leaves sons who worthily follow in bis foot-steps and worthily wear his mantle. —News and Observer.
