JUNKS, , " I n t l M spring of 18G4, while on atrial service In the district provo«t-mar»h»rs office at Vicksbnrjf, Miss., I came in contact officially with one of the queer­ est characters and most brazen adven­ turers tlie War produced. The lup*e of time lias erased from my memory tlie nHftie t>f ibe liftfo of thl? sketch, but he ! was a corporal in some Indiana regi­ me nt.a n<l for the present- purpose I will ca). him Jones. Up to tlie surren­ der Jones was doing full duty with his soittpany. but he had an idea, and this idea worked and rankled in his bosom until his proud soul revolted against the dally drndeery of camp life. In short, Jones yearned to be released from service aud engage in sosne lucra­ tive business speculation. One day when lie was eorponl of the guard at or near General Grant's headquarters, and while he wa* sauntering leisurely up aud down In front of the guard quar ters, he found himself face to (ace with General Grant and Adjutant-General Rawlins, of his staff. "See here, cor- |K>rai," said the general, "get on that h£rse ride over to Colonel »'* tent and deliver this packet." "But general, tlie guards over there won't let me through." Gen. Grant took out his note book, tore out a page, and wrote ou It, "Guards pass Corporal Jones.--C, N. Grant, major-general." That night Jones was the happie«t man in the Army of the Tennessee. He went back to hie rvgiioent and reported to his officers that Genera*) Grant had selected him a* a special detective to work ti{» heavy cases, and that 'hereafter toms one else must carry his gnn and knap­ sack. Green witli envy, his comrades crowded around him and gazed open- mouthed aud with bated breath at his pass aud Its awc-liisp!ring signature. Jones At onoe laid Aside his unforin and accoutre iii elite and donned a nobby suit of citizens' clothing. Qe swagger ed around the hotels, ogled the tebfl women,looked owl-like and mystei ious, and even imposed ou tho provost mar­ shal of the district with Ills pass and « brass star. As soon as General Grant left Vicksburg he attacked business in earnest, hiring all the Idle uegtoes that 2ould be induced lo work, and aeiti-.g tlieiu to gathering and packing rags ead. By March. l£64,he had uiade a profit'oT?ft^riisfsii*r ta'nirma-f» lions in debris gathered from the iunu merahle camps around Vicksburg. He boarded at the test hotel, wore a dia­ mond pin, and sported a splendid team of lm|M>rted blacks. Ifut presently rags began to get alarmingly scarce, and Jouea yearned for more worlds to con­ quer and for fresh fields of enterprise. Being In excellent luck, he had not long to wait. The little Vicksburg theater lost Its lessee and manager and our hero stepped Into tho breach and became an operatic impressario. The unbounded "gull" of Jones is shown by a little incident which hap­ pened abo*it the time he opened ills theater. Needing some Attractive tal­ ent in the way of prima donne and ballet girls, he called on tlie Post Q. M. aud on tlie plea of working up an Im­ mense smuggling case, actually procur­ ed transportation to New York aud return for himself and such men and wotuer. as lie might with to bring back with liiiu. 'He went to New York, secured a full corps de ballet, a r.umber of actors aud actresses, and brought tlietn back to Vicksburg at Government expense. But, as they say. in dime novels, the avenger was on his track, and Jones1 downfall was near. By j means of his rag business and theater he was fast getting rich a.id was be­ coming excessively overbearing and arrogant. It was always a sacred custom in Vicksburg to deadhead into places of aouieenitfut every one con­ nected with th« provost-marshal'*office .from the colonel down to Torn, tlie janitor, and so firmly was this custom lixed that many evenings tlie best seats were occupied by the provu&t-marshal's crowd, while paying auditors were standing in tlie lobbies. But Jones favored reform, and one evening, tlie occasion being the benefit"Kf M'lle Galletonetti. he tacked up a shingle just where the eyes of the boys must rest as they came up the staiis, which bore the unpleasant legend: "Free List Suspended." This set the whole de­ partment by the ears. A council of war was held, aud as a result. General Sioctim. post commander, received the following letter: "Genlral: Jones, who runs the thea ter, picks rags, and sports a, diamond pin. is a common corporal of the ------tli Indiana regiment, and remains away f:tun his regiment on a pass from Gen. Grant, written on a flyleaf with pencil for temporary use only, while his poor comrades are lighting in the Red River couutry, &C. Geo. C. R., and others." Like an avenging Nemesis. General Slocum pounced upon Jones aud his diamond pin, Tlie ballet and prima dontie wept, the blooded horses were put into a battery, and Jones became "fresl/flsh" for the inmates 6f the mili­ tary prison. As soou as arrangements could be made, a mournful procession left the Vicksburg jail in the following order: 1«t. file of soldiers;.2«£ Oor-|»Qra| >Ioue$; 3J. uboliu'i" file of Si'Micis; 4?h. marshal »nd two clerks. Slowly and sadly the procession marched down to the levee, where the steamer "Uncle Sam" lay wailing to bear Jones to his regimertt. It Is needless to say that Jones' rag warehouse aud theater both bore on the door panel tlie legend: "For Rent.*' . - • *tt! -•« h-i Daunlc.Team Trotting , freat tlea! of wonder is being'#*1' pressed by the public generally at the tnile in 2:15$ made by llr. Vantierfeilr's pair of mares, Maud S, and Aldine, but a careful investigation of the matter is all that is needed to show that, while the performance is undoubtedly a re­ markably good one, it Is not greater than might have been exp«cted from the teana which made It. ' The fact is, that for a matter of near­ ly twenty years not the slightest atten­ tion lias been paid to double-team trotting; while the eflorts to make horses go a fast mile in single harness have been unremitting. The Hrs>t that was done In the way of record-breaking by a double team was on the 10th of May, 1862. when Mr. Robert Bonner drove Lady Palmer and Flatbush Maid a mile to road wagon in 2:26. Three days later they went two miles in 5 Oil the last quarter dpIii£ trotted in thirty thl-ee seconds. Now, at that time. 2:11*1 was the fastest record ever made by a trotter, and yet these two mares, neither of whom could beat 2:25 singly, pulled a wagou the last quarter of a two-mile heat at a 2:12 gait--a rate of speed that it Is doubtful if any horse then on the turf could equal. Tills fact thotild have taught people 'that two horses of slmillar temperament and isait could speed much faster together than singly, but it does not seem to have done so, aud the driving of double teams for speed was about this tine abandoned, tlie old fallacy that the fastest time must be looked for from a trotter in a single harness retained Its sway. t But tlM old superstition that * trotter can go faster singly than in double harness Is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. People 6ee horses that cannot for the life of them, beat 2:25 alone re­ ducing those figures several seconds when driven with suitable mates, and ti»ey begin to realize that, with a di­ vision of the weight and the constant presence of a horse to incite the com­ petition of real racing, it Is hut natural that a higher rate of speed could be attained. Nobody believes Aldine le [ capable of trotting,alone In 2:15$, and gtfpiHrr.Tittfftfirotiwi t horny fortfee statonu'iit thai tdie kept iter traces tightened all .the way during her fam­ ous uiiie with Maud 8. In nearly every instance of remarkably fast time by teams'the records made in single har­ ness by the horses composing them have been beaten.

In a thunder storm at Ououdagua, N. Y., a man had both eyelids torn away by lightning. A physician, is now transferring bits of cuticle from the patientVarm to make bitn new eyelids. Tlie three little daughters of Jacob Morowitz, of Winona, Mich., were struck by lightning while walking un­ der an umbrella in the street. Two were killed and the other slightly par­ alyzed. Three inulei stood In a row In a barn belonging to Jou Johnsoiit near Bing. hamtou, N. Y. A stroke of lightning killed both of .tlie outer innlea aud left tho middle one' uninjured. The barn was badly splintered. While u«ing a telephone dnring a storm, William Walter., of Williams- town, was fttru^k by lightning. TVe electricity ran. from the side of liis nock down through his boot into the floor. Ho will recover. Six negroes, at Bonhaij], Texaf, had just left a hack in which they were riding, to escape the storm, when the vehicle was struck by lightning, which killed the,driver and team, and tore the hack into kindling wood. Lightning struck a tenement occu­ pied by liutigarians, at Ashland. Pa., paralyzing one man, breaking the arm and leg of another, and burying a woman under some timber. Another man became insane through fright. Solomon Deetz and his bride, of Miilersbu^, Qliio, were cleaning and furnishing their new house, when lightning struck the building and in­ jured them both so badly chat their recovery is doubtful.
