Munch:, Ind. STOB¥ OF A SKELETON SKIRT. I was in the civil service at Richmond. Enough that I was there, and on honest business. That business done, I pre- Sared to return home. And thereby angs this tale, and, as it proved, the fate of the Confederacy. For, of- course. I wanted to take pres­ ents home to my family. Very little question was there what these presents should lie--for I had no bovs or broth­ ers. The women of the Confederacy had one want which overtopped all oth­ ers. They could make coffee out of betlns ; pins they had from Columbus; straw hats they braided quite well with their own fair hands; snuff we could get better than you could in "the old concern." We had no hoop-skirts-- skeletons, we used to call them. No in­ genuity had made them. No bounties had forced them. The Bat. the Gray- hound, the Deer, the Flora, the J. C. Cobb, the Yaruna, and the Fore-and-Af t all took in cargoes of them for us in En­ gland. But the Bat, and the Deer, and the Flora were seized by the blockaders, the J. C. Cobb sunk at sea, the Fore- and-Aft and the Grayliound were set fire to by their own crews, and the Ya­ runa was never heard of Then the State of Arkansas offered sixteen town­ ships of swamp land to the first manu­ facturer who would exhibit five gross of a home-manufactured article. But none ever competed. Ths first attempts, in­ deed, were put an end to when Schofield crossed the Blue Lick and destroyed the darn on the Yellow branch. The conse­ quence was that the people's crinoline collapsed faster than the Confederacy did, of which that brute of a Grierson said there was never anything of it but the outside. Of course, then, I put in the bottom of mv new larce trunk in New York, not a " duplex elliptic," for none were then made, but a " Belmonte" of thirty springs, for my wife. I bought for her more-common wear a good "Belle- Fontaine." For Sarah and Susie each I got two " Dumb-belles." For Aunt Eunice and Aunt Clara, maiden sisters of my wife who lived with us after Win­ chester fell the fourth time, I got the "Scotch Harebell," two of each. For my own mother I got one " Belle of the Prairies " and one " Invisible Combina­ tion Gossamer." I did not forget good old Mamma Chloe and Mamma Jane. For them I got substantial cages, with­ out names. With these tied in the shape of figure eights in the bottom of my trunk, as I said, I put in an assorted cargoof dry goods above, and,favored bya pass, and Maj. Mulford's courtesy on the flag-of-truce boat, I arrived safely at Richmond before the autumn closed. I was received at home with rapture. But when, the next morning, I opened my stores, this became rapture doublv enraptured. Words cannot tell the si­ lent delight with which old and young, black and white, surveyed those fairv- like structures, yet unbroken and un- mended. Perennial summer reigned that au­ tumn day in that reunited family. It reigned the next day, and the next. It would have reigned till now if the Bel- montes and the other tilings would last as long as the advertisements declare ; and wliat is more the Confederacy would have reigned till now, President Davis and General Lee, but for that great misery, which all families understand, which culminated in our great misfort­ une. I was up in the cedar closet one day looking for an old parade cap of mine, which, I thought, though it was my third best, might look better than my second best, which I had worn ever since my best was lost at Seven Pines. . I say I was standing on the lower shelf of the cedar closet, when, as I stepped along in the darkness my right foot caught in a bit of wire, mv left did net give way in time, and I fell, with a small wooden hat box in my hand, full on the floor. The corner of the hat box struck me just below the second frontal sinus, and I fainted away. When I came to myself I was in the blue chamber ; I had vinegar on a brown paper on my forehead; the room was dark, and I found mother sitting by me, glad enough indeed to hear my voice and to know that I knew her. It was some time before I fully understood what had happened. Then she brought me a cup of tea, and I, quite refreshed, Baid I must go to my offipe. " Office, my child !" said she. " Your leg is broken above the ankle ; you will not move these six weeks. Where *lo you suppose you are ?" Till then I had no notion that it was five minutes since I went into the closet. When she told me the time--5 in the afternoon--I groaned in the lowest depths. For in my breist pocket in that innocent coat, which I could now see lying 011 the window seat, were the duplicate dispatches to Mr. Mason, for which, late the night before, I had got the Secretary's signature. They were to go at 10 that morning to Wilmington, by the Navy Department's special mes­ senger. I had taken them to insure care and certainty. I had worked on them till midnight, and they had not been signed till near 1 o'clock ! Heav­ ens and earth, and there it was 5 o'clock! The man must be half way to Wilming­ ton by this time. I sent the doctor for Lefarge, my olerk. Lefarge did his prettiest in rushing to the telegraph. But no! A freshet on the Chowan river, or a raid by Foster, or something, or nothing, has smashed the telegraph wire for that night. And before that dispatch ever reached Wilmington the navy agent was in the offing in the. Sea Maid. 44 But perhaps the duplicate got through?" No, breathless reader, the duplicate did not get through. The du­ plicate was taken by Faueon in the Ino. I saw it last week in Dr. Xdeber's hands in Washington. Well, got through, the Confederate Govern­ ment would have had in March a chance at 83,211 muskets, which, as it was, never left Belgium. So much for my treading into that blessed piece of wire on the shelf of the cedar closet, up- «*airs. " What.was the bit of wire? " ,3 Well, it was not telegraph wire. & it «td been, it would have broken when it was not wanted to. Don't you know what it was ? Go up in jour own cedar closets, and step alsout in the dark, and see what brings up about your ankles. JuHa, poor cfrikl, eritxl hoi oat about it. W hen I got well enough to get up, and as soon as I could talk and plan with her, she brought down seven of these old things--Belmontes, simplex elliptics and horrors without a name-- and she made a pile of them in the bed- loom, and asked me, in the most peni­ tent way, what she should do with them. "You can't burn them," she said; " fire won't touch them. If you bury them in the garden they come up at the second raking. If you give them to the servants they say 'Thank-e, missus,' and throw them in the back passage. If you give them to the poor, they throw them into the street in front, and do not say ' Thank-e.' Sarah sent sev­ enteen over to the sword factory, and the foreman swore at the boy and told him he would flog him within an inch of his life if he brought any more of his sauce there; and so--and so," sobbed the poor child, " I just rolled up these wretched things, and put them in the cedar closet, hoping, you know, that some day the Government would want something, and would advertise for them. J You know what a good thing I made out | of the bottle corks." | In fact, she had sold our bottle corks I for $4,216 of the first issue. We after­ ward bought two umbrellas and a cork­ screw with the money. - Well, 1 did not scold Julia. It was certainly no fault of hers that I was walking on the lower shelf of her cedar closet. I told her to make a parcel of the tilings, and the first time we wfent to ride I hove the whole shapeless heap into the river, without saying mass for them. But let no man think, or no woman, that this was the end of th&^troubles. As I look back on that winter, and on the spring of 1865, it seems to me only the beginning. I got out on crutches at last; I had the office transferred to my house, so that Lafarge and Hepburn could work there at night and communi­ cate with me when I could not go out; but mornings I hobbled up to the de­ partment, ana sat with the chief, and took his orders. Ah me ! shall I soon forget that damp winter morning, when we all had such hope at the office ? One or two of the army fellows looked in at the window as they ran past, and we knew that they felt well; and, though I would not ask Old Wick--as we nick­ named the chief--what was in the wind, I knew ,tlie time had come, and that the lion meant to break the net this time. I made an excuse to go home earlier than usual ; rode down to the house in the Major's ambulance, I remember, aud hopped in to surprise Julia with the good news, only to find that the whole house was in quiet uproar, which shows that something bad has happened of a sudden. "What is it, Chloe?" said I, as the old wench rushed by me with a bucket of water* " Poor Mr. George, I 'fraid he's dead, sah." And there he really was, dear, hand­ some, bright George Schall"--the delight of all the nicest girls of Richmond; he lay there on Aunt Eunice's bed on the ground floor, where they had brought him in. He was not dead, and he did not die. He is making cotton in Texas now. But he looked mighty near like it then. The deep cut in his head was the worst I ever had seen, and the blow confused everything. When McGregor got round he said it was not hopeless ; bnt we were turned out of the room, and, with one thing and another, he got the boy out of the swoon, and it proved his head was not broken. No, but poor George swears to this day it was better it had been, if it could only have been broken in the right way, and on the right field. For that even­ ing we heard that everything had gone wrong in the surprise. There we had been waiting for one of those early fogs, and at last the fog had come. And Jubal j Early had that morning pushed out ! every man he had that could stand, and j they lay hid for three mortal hours, 1 within I don't know how near the picket j line at Fort Powhatan, only waiting for ! the shot which John Streight's party j was to fire at Wilson's wharf, as soon as somebody on our left center advanced ' in force on the enemy's line above Tur- j key island, stretching across to Nanse- j mond. I am not in the War Depart- I ment, and I forget whether he was to : advance en barbette or by echelon of in- ; fun try. But he was to advance some- ! how, and he knew how ; and when he j advanced, as you see, that other man j lower down was to rush in, and as soon j as Eftrly heard him he was to surprise ; Powhatan, you see; and then, if you have understood me, Grant and Butler j and the whole rig of them would have been cut off from their supplies, would j have hail to fight a battle for which they ! were not prepared, witn tlie;r right made 1 into a new left, and their old left unex- ( pectedly advanced at an oblique angle j from their center; and would not that I have been the end of them ? j Well, that never happened. And the j reason it never happened was tliafc poor ; George Schaff, with the last fatal order . for this man, whose name I forgot (the same who was afterward killed the day j before at High Bridge), undertook to j save time by cutting across behind my | house, from Franklin to Green streets. ! You know how much time he saved; | they waited all day for that order. > George told me afterward that the last j thing he remembered was kissing his hand to Julia, who sat at her bedroom 1 window. He said he thought she might be the last woman he ever saw this side of heaven. Just after that, it must i have been, his horse--that white Ales- j senger colt old Williams bred--went j over like a log, and poor George was pitched fifteen feet headforemost against a stake there was m that lot. Julia saw the whole. She rushed out with all the women, and lisid just brought him in when I got home. And that was the reason that the great promised combina­ tion of December, 1864, never came off at all. I walked out in the lot, after McGre­ gor turned me out of the chamber, to see what they had done with" the horse. There he lay, as dead as old Messenger himself. His neck was broken. And, do you think, I looked to see what had tripped him. I supposed it was one of the boys' bandy holes. It was no such thing. The poor wretch had tangled his hind legs in one of those infernal hoop-wires that Chloe had tlirown out in the piece when I gave her new ones. Though I did not know it then, those fatal straps of ruby steel had broken the neck that day of Robert Lee's army. That time I made a row about it. I go into a passion, isnt, before the women went to bed--they were all in the sitting-room together--I talked to them like a father. I did not swear. I had got over that for a while, in that six weeks on my back. But I did say the old wires were infernal things, and that the house and premises must be got rid of them. The aunts laughed --though I was so serious--and tipped a wink to the girls. The girls wanted to laugh, but were afraid to. And then it came out the aunts had sold their old hoops, tied as tight as they could tie thera, in a great mass of rairs. TWy hiid. wiwile a- fortune by the sale- ALL SORTS. A Remarkable Ctee of Skin Grafting? Probably the most extensive case of skin grafting ever attempted lias been going on with gratifying success during the past year in Danielsonville, Ct. The patient, Jesse Morgan, 11 years old, fell into a vat of caustic potash on the last day of the year 1878. Both legs were immersed nearly to the hips, and the skin was so completely destroyed that a new growth was impossible. After some months of hopeless and excruciating ag­ ony, the older physicians of the place • 1 fjw: 1 »iici.' v'j/ ; 1 j 'f-v uwjn BMuvG-, ic* undertook to + '-T \auc u*uine 8aie"T . ! veaied the fact that 2,464 sons of widows I save the boy's life by skin grafting.

Of course it ended, as such things always do, by my taking the work on my own shoulders. I told them to tie up all they had in as small a parcel as they oould aud bring them to me. Accordingly, the next day I found a handsome brown-paper parcel--not so large, considering, and strangely square, considering--which the minxes had put together and laid on my office-table. They had a great frolic over it. They had not spared red tape nor red wax. Very official it looked, indeed, and on the left-hand corner, in Sarah's boldest and most contorted hand, was written "Secret service." We had a great laugh over their success. And, indeed, I should have taken it with me the next time I went down to Tredegar, but that I happened to dine one evening with young Norton, of our gallant little navy, and a very curious thing he told us. We were talking about the disappoint­ ment of the combined land attack. I did not tell what upset poor SchafTs horse; indeed, I do not think those navy meu knew the details of the disappoint­ ment. O'Brien had told me, in confi­ dence, what I have written probably for the first time now. But we were speak­ ing, in a general way, of the disappoint­ ment. Norton finished his cigar rather thoughtfully and then said : " Well, fellows, it is not worth while to put it in the newspapers, but what do you suppose upset oui* grand naval at­ tack the day the Xankee gunboats skittled down the river so handsomely ?" "Why," said Allen, who is Norton's best-beloved friend, "they say that you ran away from them as fast as they did from you." "Do they?" said Norton, grimly. " If you say that I'll break your head for you. Seriously, men," continued he, " that was an extraordinary thing. You know I was on the ram. But why she stopped when she stopped I knew as lit­ tle as this wineglass-does ; and Callender himself knew no more than I. We had not been hit. We were all right as a trivet for all we knew, when, skree ! she began blowing off steam, and we stopped dead and began to drift down under those batteries. Callender had to tele­ graph to the little Mosquito, or what­ ever Walter called his boat, and the spunky little thing ran down and got us out of the scrape. Walter did right well; if he had had a monitor under him he could not have done better. Oi' course we all rushed to the engine- room. What in thunder were they at there? All they knew was that they could get no water into her boiler.

The popular idea of the fate of pris­ oners sentenced to hard labor in the mines of Siberia is a somewhat exagger­ ated one.
