Our readers are familiar with the history of the - case, and the humane action of his Excel- lency will be generally commended.' V"." Frankfort {Ky.) Yeoman. I".,;; I read this little paragraph and my tuind went back six years. I knew John Brisben, and I also knew his twin 'brother Joseph. I was familiar with ; v ,, ;• the details of the action that placed John ' 'Brisben in a felon's cell, and noW when '?,' 0' the sad affair is brought back to mind I' " \ J BO vividly I must write it ont, for never f -,t>•"4before have I met, in prose or poetry, f >'V in real life or in romance, a greater hero r • -than plain, matter-of-fact John Brisben. ,0, The Brisbens came of good stock. I Jf ' think the great-grandfather of my hero . .emigrated to Kentncky when Kenton's V'-- "Station, between the present city of Maysville and the historic old town of ^Washington, was the principal settle |went on the "dark and bloody ground." %; " He came from Upper Pennsylvania and (/* located about five miles from the Ohio i river, on Limestone creek. He was an ' ' industrious, strong-limbed, iron-hearted | ~ "old fello-t', and in a few years his sur * roundings were of the most comfortable 3 description. One of his sons, Edwin • ' ' Brisben, once represented Kentucky in I*:/ |the Federal Congress. I think he was • .^the grandfather of John and Joseph > Brisben. Their father's name was Sam- uel, and be died when they were little " children, leaving his widow an excellent y i ^blue-grass farm and a snug little for- «jtane in stocks, bonds and mortgages. * «The widow remained a widow until her death. Mrs. Samuel Brisben was a i good women, and she idolized her twin |£:- '̂ Boys. Like most twins, the brothers re- Assembled other in a striking man- . ner, and even intimate acquaintances * could not tell them apart.' But although t - V the physical resemblance was so strong there was great dissimilarity in the dis- yt * .positions of the twins. Joseph Brisben ̂̂ warsorly ami morose, sometimes cun- y ~ Ding and revengeful. He was withal a dreamer and an enthusiast; a man well- learned in books, a brilliant, frothy - talker when he chose to be sociable (which was seldom), a splendid horse- man, and an excellent shot. John Bris- ffben, on the contrary, was cheerful and bright, honorable and forgiving. He ; was a man of high moral principle, in­ tensely practical and methodical, cared Hjlittle for books, and, although he said tout little, he was a splendid companion. " ^He was a poor horseman, and I don't think he ever shot a gun in his life. He saw nothing of the poetry of life, and as ;for sport, he enjoyed himself only when ^hard at work. He loved his brother, and when they were boys together suf­ fered'punishment many times, and un­ complainingly, that "Jodie" might go scot free. Biis life was therefore one constant sacrifice, but the object of this ^loving adoration made but shabby re­ turns for this unselfish devotiofi. They were 20 years old when* their mother died very suddenly. Joseph made a great pretense of grief, and was :;BO hysterical at the grave that he had to i]be led away. J John, on the contrary, never demon- atrative, took the cieat affliction with rhis customary coolness. He said but ^little and shed no tears. The property left to the boys was ^^considerable. The day they were 21 ^years old the trustees met and mode set- ifitlenfrent. There was the Itlue-grass farm valued at $50,000, and $100,000 in well-invested securities! which could be „turned into money. Joseph demanded ia division. I "Yon can take the farm, Jack," he •aid. "I was never cut out for a farm­ er. Give me $75,000 in money for my share." , So thin sort of a division was made. John continned on at the homestead, working in his plain, methodical way, land s lowly adding to h i s share of the ^ taoney what he could raise out of the ^profits of the farm. Joseph, with his Sinewly-acquired wealth, set up an estab­ lishment at tbe nearest town and began 3|« life of pleasure-pleasure of the gross- |;p-;|er sort. His brother gave him no ad- I1 *viee for he knew it was useless. Joseph L jepent his money with great prodigality, jp ,4and before he knew it he was a beggar. |s, !̂ In the meantime John's $25,000 had » ,4 doubled itself. One day Joseph came K tito him with a full confession of his pe­ cuniary troubles: I "Jack," he said, "I am not only a beg­ in #ar, but I am heavily in debt. Help me out like a good fellow, and I will settle «£. , *lo\vn and begin life in sober earnest. I , "With my capacity for business I can vjBoon make money enough to repay you. r 2 have sown my wild oats, and with a 51;,;:.iJittle help I can soon recover all that I y; lhave squandered so foolishly." V For an answer John Brisben placed fcis name to an order for the $25,000 he j^piad earned KO laboriously. v; "Will tliat be enough, Jodie?" he ask- *1, "because I have as much more, ..Htvhich you can have if it is necessary." "This will be sufficient, old fellow," vr jsras the reply. "In two years I will pav |t back." He went back to town, drew his mon- T, paid his debts, sold some of his and discharged several of hls| % : V •- t , t r r s?. He inWsted this d for a while seemed to rrforined. Jolm was en- say: " borne ontall right. He is I, and in five years will be 'worth more monev than t could make m a life-time." In less'than three years Joseph JBris- ben*B affairs were in the hands of his creditors, and a sheriff's officer closed oat his badness. Again he turned to his brother for help and sympathy. "I own that I managed a trifle care­ lessly," he said by way of explanation. "Experience is a dear teacher, and the lesson I have learned I shall never for­ get, If you come to my assistance now I can soon recover myself." Once more John Brisben placed his name to a check pavable to the order of his brother, and Joseph entered into business again. In two years he was a bankrupt. "I wall never succeed in business, Jack," he said. "Help me ont of this trouble and I will live with yon on the farm. I shall sucpeed as a farmer." It took all of John Brisben's hoard to pay his brother's debts, but he made no complaint, uttered no reproach. He said: "I am glad you are coming back to the farm, Jodie. You need do no work, and we will be very happy together. So Joseph took up his residence at the farm, and remembering his broth­ er's words, devoted hia time principal­ ly to hunting, fishing and riding about the country. In the meantime John Brisben had fallen in love, and the daughter of a neighboring farmer, Compton by name, was his promised wife. Being a man of strict honor him­ self, and having full confidence in his brother, he did not object when Joseph began to pay his affianced very marked attention, "I am glad he likes her," he thought. "I am so busy on the farm that I have little time for pleasure, and Alice is so fond of amusement." One night Joseph came to him just as the shadows of evening were beginning to fall. There was a triumphant ring in his voice when he spoke. "Jack, old boy," he said, holding out his hand, "congratulate me. I think that from to-day I can date the begin­ ning of a new life. Alice Compton has promised to be my wife." He was too mnch engrossed with his new happiness to see the effect of this announcement as portrayed on John's face. He did not notice how the strong man's hand trembled in his own. "Is this true?" faltered John at last. "Why, of coarse it is. Are you not glad? We love each other and shall be very happy." " 'We love each other and shall be very happy!'" repeated John mechan­ ically, and all the sunshine of his life sunk behind the heavy clouds of de­ spair. "Yes, Jodie, I am glad, and wish you long years of happiness." He turned away and staggered, rath­ er than walked, to his own room. He did not stir all night. Once a deep, sobbing groan struggled to his lips, and the moonbeans struggling through the"window fell upon his face, and sur- Erised two great tears stealing down is pale cheeks. He brushed away this evidence of weakness and sorrow, and when the morning came, no one looking into his calm, serene eyes would have guessed how hard was the battle that had been fcxight and won in that lonely chamber. They were married, and the man re­ jected by the bride and supplanted by the groom was the first to congratulate the newly-married pair. A vacant house on the farm was fitted up for their reception, and John Brisben's money paid for the furnishing. "Hereafter, Jodie," he said, "we will divide the profits of the farm. I don't need much^tnd you shall have the larger share." Ten years passed away, and John Brisben, an old man before his time, still worked from dawn till dark that his brother might plav the gentleman and keep in comfort tlie large family which the years had drawn around him. It has been necessary to mortgage the old homestead to raise money to pay Joseph's gambling debts, for of late years he had played heavily and had in­ variably lost. One day--it was in the snmmer of 1877--a forged check was presented at one of the banks at the shire town, by Joseph Brisben, and the money for which it called was unhesitatingly paid over to him. He was under the in­ fluence of liquor at the time, and deep­ ly interested in a game of cards for high stakes, which was in progress. The check was for $2,500,1 think. Before daylight the next morning Joseph Bris­ ben had lost every dollar of it. To drown his chagrin he became beastly drr.nk, and while in this condition an officer arrived and apprehended him for forgery and uttering a forged check. The prisoner was confined in jail, and word of his disgrace sent to John Bris­ ben. The latter read the message, and a mist came over his eyes. He groaned audibly, and but for a strong effort of the will would have fallen to the floor, so weakened was he by the shock. "She must not know it," he said to himself, and he made instant prepara­ tion to visit his brother. When he reached the jail he was admitted to the cell of the wretched criminal. The brothers remained there for Beveral hours. What passed during the inter­ view will never be known. When John Brisben emerged from the jail he went straight to the magistrate who had is­ sued the warrant for the apprehension of Joseph Brisben. "'Squire," he said in his low, hesi­ tating way, "you have made a mistake." "In what way, Mr. Brisben?" asked the magistrate, who had a high regard for his visitor. "You have caused the arrest of an in­ nocent man." "But"--began tbe magistrate. "Issue an order for my brother's instant release. He is innocent of tbe intent to do wrong. I am the guilty man. I forged the name of Charles Ellison to the check which he uttered. He did not know that it was. a forgery." "You!" cried the astonished magis­ trate. "Yon a forger--impossible?" "Nothing is impossible in these diys." said the m hite-haircd old man, sternly. "I alone am guilty. My brother is in­ nocent." So stoutly did he aver that he was the forger that the magistrate reluctantly issued a warrant for his arrest, and at the same time wrote an order to the jailer for the release of Joseph Bris­ ben. "My constable will be in soon," said the magistrate, but the old hero picked up both the papers. I will not trouble him," he said; "I will excute both papers." And he. did. Handing the jailer both papers, he explained their meaning thus: "They have made a iwtotdpR . Ik ia X .Jfcftitkli Brisben m re- lcased and reftftrtMld to the farm. John remained at tte ĵ l a prisoner. When the extraordinary affkir became known, several prominent citizens offered to go on die accused man's bond, but he would not mecept their/ kind offices. At the trial he plead guilty and was sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment at hard labor, in the peni tentiarv. Joseph came to see him before he was removed to Frankfort, but their interview was a private (me. Joseph Brisben remained At the farm, but he was a changed man. From the day of his release from jail down to the time of his death, he was never known to touch a card, and a drop of liquor never passed his lips. Last April he died, and his confession, duly sworn to before a justice of the peace, was made public after his burial. In substance it was this: That he was guilty of the forgery for which his herofc* brother was suffering a long imprisonment. "It waa my brother's wish, n,ot mine," reads the document. "He insisted Chat he who had no ties of blood or mar- riage could better suffer the punishment and the digraee than 1 who had depen­ dent on me a large family." Noble John Brisben! Of such stuff are heroes made. --Detroit Free Press. The Battle of Stone River. There was no council of war held on the night after the first day's battle of Stone River, nor at any other time or place nnder my command. The corps commanders--and they only--were assembled to report to me the condition of their commands and their supplies of ammunition; and orders given for the immediate distribution of the remaining spare ammunition among their troops, as well as dispatches to Colonel I>aaiel McCook to bring up more, guarded by his brigade. After this the corps commanders were asked the question by me: "What is your judgment as to continuing this fight here or retiring to Nashville V" General Thomas L. Crittenden, being the junior, was the first required to an­ swer. He said: "General, my inex­ perience is too great to venture on at­ tempting to decide this question; but I am ready to stand by any decision of my commander." "General McCook, you come next. What do you think ?" Said he: "I think it best to retire on Nashville, because this command is still stong enough to stand on the de fensive, and with the entrenchments at Nashville to securely hold the enemy in check until we can brhig down rein­ forcements enough to resume the offen­ sive with the certainty of success. Whereas if we are beaten and routed here, there is no resarve military force which could prevent the triumphant march of the enemy to the banks of the Ohio." "General Stanley, what do you think of it?" was my next question "I concur in the views of General Mc­ Cook, and for the reasons he gave," was his reply. I then turned to Thomas and said: "Now, General, what are your views?" Speaking very slowly and deliberately he replied: "Our po­ sition and impending consequences are so grave that I think no one but the commanding General himself can de­ cide what should be done. But what­ ever you decide to do we will stand by to the last." This answer elicited a hearty approving response from each of the other Generals. I said: "Gen­ tlemen, please remain here till I re­ turn from examining the lay of the ground in our rear beyond Overalls Creek. Come with me, "General Stan­ ley." After a ride over the ground, return­ ing to our cabin, I said: "Gentleman, we fight it out here. Please go and prepare your commands, for the enemy may begin early." All greeted the an­ nouncement of this order with cheerful assent, and like a band of brothers we went to our respective posts of duty. No man who was present, least of all General Thomas, ever stated the mat­ ter as given in the paragraph in the Tribune-to which I allude. W. S. ilOSECRAM. IfceMi Mmm Akwt the Wtmmr Tribt aai 8«M Ua.

Mn.L.J. JONSS. of No. io Charles fttreet, Portland, Me., writes us these convincing facts. May tt, 1883: "I have for several years been troubled with liver com­ plaint and indigestion, and have suffered at times ter- r.'ble distress, and have tried many different ernes, so called, that have keen recommended from time to time. I (me day noticed in one of our pipers the testimonial of a person that had uaed Hunt's Bemedy and been cured of diseases similar to mine. I pur­ chased a bottle of one of our drug stores in Portland, and before I had need the Brat bottle found that I was improving beyond my expectation; have used in all six bottles, and I have no trouble from indigestion, no distress or pain in back as I formerly had; and since I have been cured my wife has used it for kid­ ney trouble, and it has cured her. We can both aay that Hunt's Hemedy is a blessing to any that are troubled with kidney or liver diseases, or indigestion. We gladly recommeud it to our friends or to any sufferera from liver or kidney diseases, and you can u*e this letter as you may choose for the best interest ot suffering humanity." Answer Thla.
