CAPTURING THE SMUGGLEItS-OFF FOR -VTCKSBUKG. It was now nearly sundown, and prep arations were rapidly made for carrying out Branson's scheme for capturing the Bpies who were in communication with the Jew. Bronson hastily drew up a brief account of the affair, with a state ment of what was proposed to be done, a request that the expedition be author ized, and a detail be sent out to relieve them at the picket post. O'Neil sent Walter with this and the letters found upon the Jew back to the officer of the pickets. While he was gone the other prepar ations went on. Stock seemed to fear that the Jew was not yet sufficiently impressed with the seriousness of the occasion, and the certainty of the terrible fate that would punish tieachery. Plac ing himself with h s gun in full view and hearing of the unlucky Israelite, he made what was for him a lengthy dis sertation upon the piece's wond rful ac curacy, and then cleaned the rifle elab orately. "1 allers do that when I don't want to leave one chance in a thousand for missin'," he said, as if by way of ex planation to some comrade," but in a tone so distinct that the Jew could not miss a word. Then, when the swab no longer brought as much stain from the inside of the barrel as would soil a piece of white paper, he cleaned the nipple with equal care, and emptied his cartridge-box into his hat, that he might select an abso lutely faultless bullet. "These pressed bullets," he said, in the same loudly explanatory wav, "don't run reg'lar, like molded balls, an' ve hev to be mighty partickeler in pickin' 'em out when you hev keerful work Jo do. " He at last found one that suited his critical views, tore the paper, poiirrd the powder carefully into the gun, re moved every particle of paper from the base of the ball with ostentatious exact ness, nd then ra nraed it homo vrhh manipulations expressive of the greatest thoroughness and delicacy. A careful selecti.m of a cap foil .wed, and when he at last brought the loaded gun to an "order nrras" his face expressed to the Jew the firm belief that the light nings of heaven could be more success fully avoided than a bullet from that rifle Waller soon camo back with the au thorization and the relief, and all was in readiness. The Jew was started out on his mule, and was followed by Stock attired in the clothes of a rebel citizen. As near y j, -...-....... , ,....v. uui, JVUL-UIIIII UUL Oil sight, followed the rest of the squad, were found to contain very valuable in straggling along as out on individual for aging expeditions. Three miles beyond the picket-line a man rode out of the woods at ono side of the road, on a magnificent horse, and. pretending to wipe his face, dis played a large red silk handkerchief. T h e Jew responded by a similar demonstration with a blue handker chief. This seemed to be mutually satis factory; both riders cantered toward each other, met, greeted, and after exchanging a few words, turned and rode toward a densely-wooded ra vine. Once the Jew looked cautiously around, and his face brighten ed as ho thought ho was no longer follow ed, but in the self same instant it dark ened again, for Stock was half-hidden in the tall weeds not 100 feet away, and though he seemed to bo watching with open-mouthed anxiety for an oppor tunity to shoot a circling hawk, the Jew knew that that carefully grasped gun was meant for him, and in an instant it could be mado to striko him cold in dsath. If there was a half formed plan in his mind to reveal every thing to the new comer it died at tho moment of birth, and he rode after the stranger into tho wood. Stock followed closely by flitting from tree to tree. If the newc omcr noticed him at all, no doubt entered his mind that he was some poor white out in tho woods hunting squirrels. The rest of the squad pressed up as near as was prudent. A half-mile from tho road the two -horse men came to a halt in a little nook so hidden by the projec tions of the bluffs, the tall trees and tho dense growth of pawpaw underbrush, as to be invisible at the distance of a few rods. Here, leaning against a pile of more than 100 bales of cotton, which had evidently been there only a short time, they found two other horsemen, who had almost at tho same moment ridden up from another direction and dismounted to wait for them. The greetings were verv brief. The Jew was deathly pale, and so excited that he spoke with great difficulty. The others noticed it. "Why, what on earth's the matter with you, Levi?" said ono of them. "You tremble like a house-dog in a cold wind. Did the pickets take a crack at ve while ye was a-comin' out'" "I hat. much troubles mit dera," said Levi, speaking with a great effort. "D 'em" said another. "If it wouldn't only mal-e matters worse, we'd get some of the boys together to-night, and run some of 'em In. But that would only make 'em put out a heavier guard and be more careful, and give us more difficulty in making communications." "Yes! belter get along just as easily and quietly as possible, until wo get the city back, which I hope will not be many wwaiM uway, saia unoic.ii. Mcelroy. "I may as well confess that I'm not .5 a terrible hurrv for the Yankees to lose Memphis," s il Hie one of the crowd who lu.d not aefore spoken. "With our cotton and qui.ii ie smuggling, and our underground posmfficc route, we've got a better thiug here than (he chances are we'll hi.ve d.ny place else. I'm satisfied to let well enough alone." "Thits so. Hush! I thought I heard footstep j!" "O, i hat's nothing; there's a fellow outside rhcre will a gun hunting for somethiig for his supper. He don't amount to an;, Jhi i." "All ri.;ht, L'--.i; the first thing, let's sec the letters y.u brought." This precipitated a crisis. Bronson had prepared some dummy letters, (o resemble outwardly those he had taken from tin Hebrew's person, but naturally the, would not stand the test of opening. Levi became intensely agitated. He h;-s simply been instructed to go ahead in his meeting with the men as he had been ir the habit of doing, and no hint was given him of the point at which it was intended to make the interference. Levi tried to turn the attention of his confederates in some other direction, and began feeble, disjointed inquiries about cotton. Ho might have known that a man waiting in eager .anticipation of a letter is as little likely to be led off into the discussion of irrelevant topics as ore with a toothache or in love. One of them speedily brought the conversation back to the original point with: "Yes, as you say; cotton's going up like a kite, and it'll do no harm to hold all that we can, if it s put in some safe place. But let's see the letters and then we'll talk further. We've got plenty of time." Levi fumbled nervously over his make believe missives, racking his brains for some expedient to delay their production. Never very trustful of him, his com panions now conceived tho direst sus picions from his unaccountable conduct. "What the devil's the matter with the blasted Jew, anyway'" said one of them, grasping him roughly by the shoulder, while the others whipped out their re volvers and cocked them. "Let's kill him right here, if he fools with us," said they. "Drop them pops this minnit, or I'll let daylight through the whole lot on ye!" yelled Stock, from his leafy covert, not 10 yards away. Looking up, the as tonished smugglers saw Stock drawing a fine bead on one of them, but before they could determine which one it was that he most menaced OTseil shouted "Close in on 'em, b'ys!" and the whole squad came up with a rush. Two of them stood still, threw down their re - vym.io, aim "" ""'" tUttW1 oi surrenders 'the third started to run, but he had scarcely gore a rod v when Stock's rifle cracked sharply, and the man dropped with a bullet through his shoulder. Bronson ran up to the fallen man, and as he recognized his face by the aid of a rift of light through an opening in the trees, he exclaimed in surprise to "Walter: "I declare, if it isnt Dick Morgan again." Walter mounted one of the horses and went to a. neighboring farmhouse, where he secured a wagon to take the wounded man into the city. He nest galloped back to the pickets, and informed the officer in command of what had happened. A company was immediately sent out to guard the cotton until it could be brought in the nest day by the Quartermaster's teams, and Walter returned with orders io O'Neil to come in with his prisoners as soon as the eornnany arrived to relieve him. When they came in again the officer of the pickets informed them that the letters they had sent to ilcadquarters AitTEMisiA. Surprises Karl, ry IIee formation. The Jew had evidently gone out to meet an emissary from Forrest's Cavalry, for there was in the documents that he hore a most careful exhibit of all the troops in and about the city, their stations, means of communication with each other, and other information which wfluld be of use in the event of a raid being made on the city, that was evi dently beintr contemplated by the rebel cavalry chiff. "Well, old follow, let me congratulate you' said 0 Neil, slapping Bronson on the shoulder heartily. "Oi 3ce i pair o' shou'der straps sproulin here afore yere a wake older." After turning their prisoners over to the Provost-Marshal, they returned to their old pest on the road. When they came up the officer in charge was having an animated discussion with a party in a carriage, who were evidently Iryim; to pass outward, but were stopped for some reason. Karl's heart began beat ing violently, for he recognized in one of the voices raised in expostulation that of Artemsia. He hurried forward to where he could see. her, and then his eyes con firmed the testimony of his ears. The officer in command of the post, emulous of the success of his predecessors, was mmfMmmm ri TBI' ifci inm nn ir-avrn i ii hi ti n itr Many persons have their good day and their bad day.

Artemisia had started to return to her --,-, r Mississippi home, accompanied by her Memphis kin.

TinUroJj willing to get rid of an. un pleasant bit of duty ii. this maimer, the Lieutenant handed the matter over te hi5 successor, and retired, followed oy Artemisia's indignant glances, who wu'd have liked to point out o him that this was a diicct Providential interposition in favor of a distressed damsel. "Karl, you search H.e baggage there while the rest get ready for tho noight," aid O Neil, wholly ignorant of tho rela linn of tho searcher to the one to bo searched. "I know tho ladies, Lieutenant," said Karl; "ant I'm brittysure dev'ro al right." "Very good. When you are satisfied of that let them go on." And ONeil busied himself with his supper and in making ready for the night duty. Artemisia overheard and understood all, and she had tho natural diplomacy of 1- MM her sex. As Knrl approachd the carriage she held out hcfrjiand engagingly to him, and said: "If I'm not greatly mistaken, this is one o! the young gentlemen who were so good to me thu other night, nna pr trcfed mo frrm annoyance by those ruf '!nns.

Of course, the enrantured Karl could say nothing but "Certainly not; you're at liberty to co abet as soon as you bleeye." There was a wave of Artemisia's glove' hand, and the carriage sped off into the fathering darkness, leaving Karl gazing intently after it. "O, that's all righV," ?aid Bronson smil ingly, in le ponse to Wallers tioublcd look.

GHAT OF THE COIJRIDOflS. The business men. of Cleveland, O., and other friends of Representative Theo. E. Burton are vory anxious that Speaker Reed should appoint him Chairman of the Rivers and Harbors Committee, which position has been made vacant by the resignation of Rcpresentati'0 Hooker, of New York. But Representative Cooper, of Wisconsin, stands second on tho Com mittee, with Mr. Burton as third, and the people of the Upper Lake country feel that they have quite as important interests to look out for as those of Lake Erie. Somebody in Oregon sent Secretary Alger two fine young American eagles. They came by express, with S18 charges due. Tho Secretary sent them to the Zoological Park. The notable arrival of tho week was that of Don Rafael Iglesias, for two years President of Costa Rica. He is a pleasant-appearing man of about 35, and of medium bight. In his suite is Gen. John S. Casement, formerly Major of the 7th Ohio, Colonel of the 103d Ohio, and Brigadier-General. President Iglesias is travel ing incognito, and therefore few formali ties were observed. lie was received at New York by Assistant Adjutant-General Carter, and immediately after his arrival in Washington w,as called upon by Secre tary Porter, who presented the compli ments of Presrdent'McKinley, .. and in quired when iL.woUjld be convenient to receive the Chief Executive of the United States. President Iglesias replied that he would be glad to spc him immediately, and in a few minutes 'President McKinley drove up. The.calJ was very brief, and a little later President Iglesias made an equally brief relurn call. He claims to be in this country,. and 'on a tour of Europe, solely for the benefit of his health. But most people connect his visit with the new concession which has been granted for the Nicaragua Canal. The boundary of Costa Rica is tho center of the San Juan River, aitdsome of the dams and other works, il is claimed, will extend into Costa Rican territory. In his first visit President Iglosiasr'said nothing about the canal, but at a, ,later ono he said that while Costa Rica wanted the canal built, she desired to bo considered in the mat ter, and given the benefits to which she is entitled. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, who is now in Washington, declines to speak on expansion, but says that he is strongly in favor of the immediate construction of the Nicaragua Canal It is a necessity, and the sooner that it is completed the better. There is going to.be a lively fight among the Democratic members re-elected to the next Congress, and immediately after the present Congress reassembles, over the leadership of the Democratic minority in the next Congress. Owing to the favor of Speaker Iiced the leadership has been held by the young and ornate Mr. Bailey, of Texas, but he has had many rivals in his parly, and they now feel strong enough to oust him. They have many grounds of opposition, but the ono they are now putting forward most persistently is his .antagonism to the policy of ex pansion. CataKFh of the Stomaeh. A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effectual Cure for it. Catnrrh of the stomach lias lonp: been con sidered the next thing to incurable. The miial symptoms are a full or bloating sensa tion after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gasses, causing pressure on the heart amf lungs, and difficult breathing; headaches, fickle appe tite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste in the month, coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is fonnd in a treatment which causes food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the deli cate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the ono necessary thing toi do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared.1 According to Dr.jJIarlandson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet composed oDintase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal, and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all dni" stores under the paniepf Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent medicine can bo used with perfeeb'safety and assurance that healthy appetjte and thorough digestion will follow their rdgular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Bonier, 10I' 2710 Dearborn St., Chicago, 111., writes : " Catarrh is alocal con dition, resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the- nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous dis charge therefrom passing backward into the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of the stomach without cure ; but to-day I am tho happiest of men after using only ouc box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appropriate words to express my good feeling. 1 have found flesh, appetite, and sound rest from their use." Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indiges tion, catarrh of the stomach, biliousness, soar stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.

Representative Loud, of California, who arrived in tho city last week, says that while the question of expansion was not an issue in the last campaign, the people of the Pacific Coast will insist on retain ing all the Philippines, as an offset to the advantages the East will gain from Cuba and Porto Rico. Senator.Rawlins, of Utah, who h-s just arrived in the city, doubts if there will be any serious effort to unseat Representa tive Roberts on account of his belief in polygamy. He says that Roberts is a man of unusual ability and force of char acter, and that his election was largely due to Gentile votes. Senator Rawlins is at present inclined to oppose the annex ation of the Philippines. The expenses of the Spanish-American war are running a little higher than at first estimated. Treasurer Roberts cal culated them up to Oct. 31 at S1G 1,032,228. During August, September and October they averaged 521,000,000 a month. They were about S18.000.000 for November, owing to the drafts for paying off regiments which were discharged, and for the ex penses of those getting ready for Cuba. From now till June 30, the end of the fiscal year, they will run about SlO.OOO'.OCO a month. This will make the total run up to about 5260,000,000. The deficit for December will be about 53,000,000 or S0, 000,000, which will drop to about S2.000.000 a month for the remainder of the fiscal year. . Associate Justice Frear, of Hawaii, who is now in Washington, says that all his people want is a Territorial Government, like that enjoyed by Oklahoma, Arizona, and New Mexico. They want their pres ent qualified suffrage system continued, and would like to have continued their present system of importing coolie labor, but they are willing to give this up if de sired. Tho planters have already begun experimenting with free labor, and are attracting white men from California. Though in the edge of the tropics, Hawaii has a climate well-suited to while men. The great ocean currents keep it cool and springlike. DfllFT OP PUBLIC OPINION. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, says that he will oppose vigorously any attempt to make Hawaii a Territory, and the con tinuance of any form of slavery in the islands. He will also oppose the garri soning of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip pines with United States troops. Senator Harris, of Kansas, says that wo do not need all the Philippines nothing more than the Island of Luzon. Senator Mason, Illinois, savs that it was a mistake to suspend-warlike opera-J turns uulu tt ircuiy or peace was signed. Col. Wm. P. Hepburn, of Iowa, who is Chairman of the House Committee on Interstate Commerce, before which must go all bills relating to the Nicaragua Canal, says that there is no doubt in tho world that tho canal will be dug, for the people are now thoroughly roused in their demand for it. He anticipates that everybody connected with it will be as thoroughly daujned, politically, as were all those connected with the Pacific Rail roads; but this must not interfere with their doing their duty in the matter.
