Stoky Auol't IjIuuy Prison.--Cap*
itu .Joseph U'ingGold, an ex member of the
City council of Richmond, tells a good story
of (lie tiuic when lie stood sentinel arouud
1/ibby : "So,
the old prison is sold, is it ? ' lie
said. "Well, gentlemen, I never go by that
place without laughing, now. 1 can't Help'
thinking of the cute triek played by a lot
of Yankees there. The fact is, it was so
good that, although 1 had been ordered to
shoot in among theui, 1 disobeyed orders.?
It was abmt 'tl.'J. and the lobby building
was so crowded that it wouldn't hold any
more prisoners, so they put a largo lot of
lliom in fit.* c.tn.in.l ct.MM. *A' !?.?

across the street. Soon after those prisoners
came the prison officials got : large lot
of sweet potatoes (regular yams) from
North Carolina, ami stored them on the first
llo.?r of the building in which those prisonore
were onlincd. I>ig sweet, potatoes!
were luxuries in those days, and Turner and
those tell >W3 kept a strict watch ov;r the
building, 1 can tell you. The third day
after they had been stowed away it was noticed
that they were disappearing at the
rate of about a bushel a day. At first it
was thought that the rats took them, but a
se in I i!i.oighl showed that the idea was
ah or. 1. Sentinels were posted a!i around
the building with orders to .shoot any man
th y caught stealing those yams, but they
didn't see anybody to shoot, and although
they were posted there day and night, and
no one was allowed to enter the room in
which the potato :s were kept, they contin
tied to disappear at the rate of a bushel a
day. The Confederates saw their yams
disappearing in this way, and wore furious.
The thing was an unaccountable mystery.?
The doors and widows of the room wore
scaled and private marks were put 011 the
wax, so thai if any one of tlicm was opened
it would til..,,-.. ? <. .

all right, but another bushel of pntitoos
had vanished. Well, sir, it was I he mad
dc>t crowd you ever saw. They e.uio t<?
uie and ordered mo to 'ako my stand in the
roam. They locked me in, and a lighted
candle was put at each end oi' the room so
that I could see. I was ordered to shoot
on sight anybody I saw stealing those yams.
?I was terribly lonesome in that mom.?
Just as fast as L would light otic caudle and
go to the other end of the room to light the
o-licr. the rats would cut the first one
down. They were tvgul ir Confederate
rats, and a candle was a godsend to
them. After a lot of worry L got the
rats out of the way, and sat down near
the door waiting for developments. There
I stayed t<!l l:i o'clock j but though I kept
my eyes on the potatoes all the time, 1
couldn't see any of them going. Shortly
after 1- 1 heard a creaking, grating sound,
which seeuied to be all over the room at
once. 1 eoeked my gun and held my breath,
but still L couldn't sec any sign of life except
ti e rats creeping about the iloor. 'I?y
George !' I thought, 'this darned place is
haunted, if thcr is any such a thing as a
place being haunted.' The sound stopped,

I looked at the pile of potatoes, and presently
saw something shoot from the ceiling
ati(l fall on them. 1 saw it was a brick, and
could distinguish a rone tied to it. 1 crept

tiling, but before I could examine it, it was
drawn slowly up, and there was about a peck
of yams sticking to it. It went, up through
a hole which had been out in the floor above,
and presently came down again with a
thump light among the potatoes. It was
tlie most artful arrangement you ever saw.
The brick had about (ilty holes drilled in it.
and through each hole a sharpened ten-penny
nail ha J been run, so that when t he brick
fell among the yams, these nails stuck into
every one they fell on. I couldn't help
laughing at the smart dodge those Yankees
bud taken to get at tlie yams. I gen ly put
my hand forward, and caught hold of the
rope. Pretty s -on they began to draw on
it. and when it. did not move. I heard one
follow say : 'Steady, hoys ; the brick's
hung in something. J'ull her steadily, with
out jerking.' Thoy ilid pull steadily, and
fairly lifted me from the floor. 'No jerk,
easy, boys, easy,' the director said, and they
tugged away. I got pretty red in the face,
holding to the rope. I was afraid to lot go,
because I thought sonic of those spiked
nails might strike uic in passing. 1 thought
of my pocket-knife, and hauled it out just
as they were putting all their weight on the
other end of the r >pe. I cut it in two,and
the end shot back through the holt in the
ceiling, and I could hear a rolling and tumbling
on the floor above, showing that the
sudden giving away of the rope had a disastrous
effect. I heard another vjico say :
'There, now, I told you so. You've broken
the rope. We've lost our brick, and to
morrow we'll bo found out.' Then another
voice called out : '('ant you sec it ? We
might hook it up.' Next I saw a long neck
protruding through the hole, and a fellow
peering down. Then 1 called out : 'If von
trouble any more of those potatoes I'll
shoot.' That fellow's heail shot hack
through that hole just like a terrapin, and
it was as still as death up there. 1 hated to
toll on then), because it was such a sharp
scheme of foraging on the enemy, but I
had to. When the officers went up next
morning to examine the room it took a long
time to find the hole. Those Yankees had
cut a hole about a foot square through the
floor, and it was done so neatly that it took
good eyes to discover it. That was where
the officers' yams went to."

souic very interesting officers. Having returned
from the front iu June, lSl>2, business
called uie to the town of Wabash, Iud.,
some time iu July. They were organizing
regiments in a cauip south of the town.?
Colonel U was*Commissioned for the
Indiana llcgiuiout. Tho drum beat
for battalion drill. The Colonel rode out
with a book iu his hand, from which lie
was" tending the commands. After the
adjutant had formed the companies in line,
the Colqncl took his position ueat the center
and gave the commands: "Attention,
battalion! Forward march I" lie forgot
the "right face," and the regiment commenced
moving toward him. Then lie
commanded a halt and broke out in a roar :
"What in thunder did you do that way for ?
1 want you to get in two liues oi' fight and
icuf/i cmficin/s like you did yesterday. We
are going over in the llat to drill, condemn
yo; I don't want you inarching out hcie
where I am. There aie too many rocks and
stumps here to drill and you ought to know
i'/ yourselves."
The same Colonel appointed the noncommissioned
officers, but lie insisted that the
Coventor ol' the State had to sign their
warrants, or they were not legal appointments.
On one occasion, coining up the road
where i? made a square bend, he gave no
command of "tile left." The lilo loader of
Company A kept ou in a straight line in
military style until he came up to the side
of a barn. There of course ho stopped
and marked time. The Colonel rode down
the line in hot haste and terrible anger :
4,Vou u?d long sergeant, haven't you got
sense enough to keep in the road ? What
in h?11 are yon trying to march through a
barn for ? '
Sometime in October, while in Kentucky,
he resigned lor the good of the service.?
Xo doubt it was the most brilliant act of
his life, and many others could have aided
their country more than they did if tlicy

And yet the reformers, or ineu

Jute.?One of the most promising new
Gelds for farming in the Southern States is
the cultivation of jute. As a fiber it is
largely taking the place of ilux and hemp
in coarse products, and it is also said to be
much used in much finer goods,some of the
I handsomest carpets being partly of jute.?
'1 here is no doubt but the demand is to be
largo an 1 to steadily increase.
lute is as easily raised as corn, and planted
in March or April, it may be harvested
in Juno, July and Asgust, after cotton has
been laid, and at a time when there is no
special call upon the farm force. The luboi
of cultivation is light, as its growth is sc
rank as to overshadow everything else in
the field, and its yield is simply enormous.
There is a very wide field of industry in
! jute cultivation, and one which will eventually
Income very profitable. The importa'
lions of jute during the year ending Juno
Jo. 13S0, were over $7,000,000, all of which
can easily ho produced at Louie.?Jiarui
