A War Memory.
In 18G2, while General liiiulman was
commanding the conle4crate forces at
Little Hock, a piece of strategy which
should not be left uurecomed, was
practiced by a "Gentleman in Gray."
Hind man only had a feyv thousand "ill-
armed troops, and when lie heatd that
the federal general. Curtis, stmrOnedat
Helena, was preparing to nuvwe on Lit-
i tie lioek, lie sent for Colonel Robert
Newton, chief of start', and said:
"Look here, Bob. I umlerataud that
Curtis, with thirty-five or forty thou-
sand is preparing to march on us. You
very readily understand that vve cannot
entertain so much company."
"Can't we send out and borrow from
the neighbors?" Newton suggested.
"Not very well, and besides. I think
that the visitors would prove to be
troublesome. My idea is to send them
word not to come. Now let us put our
heads together in regard to the best
means of making known our wishes,"
and after earnest deliberation they de-
cided to arrange a mail, ostensibly for
different persons, but really for Gener-
al Curtis.
One letter was addressed to the con-
federate secretary of war. "1 do not
like to make complaints," the commu-
nication ran, "hut circumstances com-
pel me to call your attention to certain
short-comings of General Beauregard.
Several weeks ago, he promised to send
me forty thousand stands of arms and
thirty pieces of artillery, but instead,
he has only sent me twenty-five thou-
sand stands of arms and twouty pieces
of artillery. This, even counting the
stores we have received from Texas, is
not enough for the proper equipment of
my troops. I contemplate moving into
Missouri."
Then followed a number of letters
from soldiers. One soldier said, in a
letter to his wife: "We have about forty
thousand troops here, and although
they are not all quite armed, yet I
think that within a few days we will all
bo ready for business." Another sol-
dier, writing to his father, said that
Hindman had at least fifty thousand
soldiers, and still another made a diff-
erent statement, done, of course, to
give to the communications the finish-
ing touch of genuineness.
"Now." Rflid Hinilmnn
from here with a lot of mail, with a
view of taking it across the Mississippi
river. Federal scouts are numeruus
between here and there, and we want
to know if the mail jiou start out with
is not likely to fall into the possesion
of the enemy?"
Scott winked slyly and replied:
"Sure to be captured,
"This is a dangerous undertaking."
'|Yes, I know, but they'll capture tho
mail. Just give me what 1 want and I
assure you that everything will work
well."
"What do you want?"
"The fastest horse iu the command
and ji pair of saddle-bags."
"All ri^lit. Report within an hour."
When Scott reported at tho appoint-
ed time, a swil't horse and a pair of
,saddle-bags wore in readiness.
Nothing Wjiis heard .of Scott for sev-
eral days. At length the following
dispatch, dated al .Brownsville, Prairie
county. Ark,, was received:
*'Mujur-ihncTui Hindinan:—I regret
to say that my -saddle-bags and con-
tents have fallen into the :ha,uds of the
enemy, and that 1 barely .escaped with
my lile. I will report in person as
soon as possible."
A few day# afterward bo arrived at
headquarters. lie walked in witch a
dejected air, as though he would Hire-
ly be court-martialed on Account of
failure to discharge ;his duty. Newton
called him into an ,a?!jjoMjij»g room,
and closing the jloor, aak«d:
"Well, how did the scheme work?"
"Like a charm. 1 wys riding along [
the road, and in ■Uwnhig a thiokiiy
wooded point,, I wddeply cjnne upon a
body of federal cavalry. 1 wheeJUad,
and the several well mounted men al-
ways in the van of a cavalry command,
pursued mo, firing, it sow^ied, at *:vwy
jump. I leaned forward in my Uisnkt,
and my saddle-bags worked from un-
der me until at last thoy tumbled oft'. J
made a fruitless effort to grab •; h»;n\,
and looked as though I was shocked at
their loss. This practically ended tlwo
pursuit."
The first intimation that the ruso had
been successful was the following par-
agraph in tfoe Memphis Jai'UUh:
"When last heard from, Hindman,
with a large body of troops, was
marching toward Missouri. We are
credibly informed that General Curtis
will soon be upon him."
Scott's career was of short duration.
He was court-martialed, on a charge of
horse stealing;, while in General Dan-1

"How much nionev does Patti re-
ceive for a year's work?"
"I cannot tsU; but jt must ho ven'

half the year sfie would get about
$150,000. I suppose that she receives
all of that per annum. Still, slio must he,

silly Eroppess of-the Eceneh, to befriend
him, sejL up the scheme that Patti
should get his title and the Marquis £et
her money. Each bought the other.
Yet she desired to live with him peace-
ably; but he eould not make allowance
for hor j>rofession, tame to the rehear-
sals, and on one occasion, at least,
compelled her to order him out of the
theatre, because in the -balcony scene in
'llomeo and Juliet' lie oried out that
she and Nicolini were entirely too ear-
nest in their love-making. Her natu-
ral feelings, hor false condition, her
emotional nature fastened to such
a sneak as' DeCaux, she probably
found nearer her original rank the at-
tention and sympathy she wanted. Tho
worst about it is that they say Nicolini
has a wife and children. That may
trouble her mind sometimes with tho
fear that he looks toward his earlier at-
tachment, which ,is ever liable to break
out in man. She gets from hii», how-
ever, the respect oi one enamored of
her and her protector. He; of course,
occupies <the more unfortunate posi-
tion. People can account fesr her re-
volting from a man who bought her in
order to enjoy the profits of her labor;
but they may look upon Nicolini as not
.even legally entitled to do that, yet to
some extent receiving them. However,
he can earn his own independence. Ho
does not earn it by his voice. Sho

Nevertheless, there is a-shadow ari-
sing from this intimacy, but the law in-
terposes and will not allow it to bo

her husband nor he from his wife."
Does she still have to pay money Co
the Marquis do Cau>\?"
"No. The Eugiish courts made a
decision, or a law, I forget which, that
when a woman was earning her living
by her own labor hor husband could
not .take from her the recompense.
Patti could sing in France, I un-
derstand, afid get her money now. De
Caux endeavored to get her jewelry at
the -time she was to leave hi in. He
probably saw that she meant to go, as
t.liey had quarreled, without tears? But
she sent word to !"•- n;-en •> loive ber
jewels locked up in the Hank of En-
gland, and he could not touch them."'
"Is she an infatuating woman?"
"Oh, ves; she is a remar.ka.bja wo-

Now," said Hindman, "the idea is
to deliver these to Curtis in a manner
that will make Jiiin glad of their recep-
tion." r
t "I think," replied an officer, "that
I've got a man in mv command who is
the very individual for such an under-
taking. I'll send him up."
Pretty soon a tall, slim young fellow
reported for duty.
"What is your name?"
"Walter Scott."
"Weil, my literary friend," said
Newton, "we want jou to start out
very much of hor time. Even when she
sings in Londou twice a week she will
come down all the way from Wales to
do so. She can i-hu tlown in seven or
eight hours, and go back agaip."
"Nicolini, I suppose, lives there?"
"He watches at hor dressjuovroom
door every night she sings, to bu at-
tentive to all hpr wishes. You can see
him there if you should be on the stage
whenever she is dressing. He takes
her forward and is ready to receive her
when she comes off."
"What sort of a man is lie?"
"He has been very much misrepre-
sented. He is a gentleman, an artist,
a man of refined feelings and of thor-
ough taste. **!

THE AFFAIR WITII THE MAKQL'IS.
Said I: "From what side do you sup-
pose came the courtship in this case?"
"It must have been by a little error
on every side. In the first place Patti's
husband, the Marquis de Caux, was a
jealous, sordid, unsatisfying man. The
said—the said tie was unravelled bv
the castiug vote of the spe ker in favor
of Burrjll's opponen , Jeremiah B.
