The bust of Sam Davis, the Coufcd cratc hero, who met death on the scaf fold at Pulaski, Tenn.,to save the life of a comrade, is one of the best pieces of art in the Nashville Parthenon. It is the work of George Julian Zolnay, is heroic in size, noble in conception and absolutely true to the original. Joshua Brown, icwof New York city, who belonged to the 2d Kentucky cav alry of the Confederate army, and was a fellow scout with Samuel Davis, tells the thrilling and awful story of his fate in an article in the Veter an : Gen. Bragg had sent us, a few men who knew the country, into Middle Tennessee to get all the information possible concerning the movements of the Federal army, to find out if it was moving from Nashville and Corinth tc reinforce Chattanooga. We were to report to Col. Shaw or Capt. Colcman, who commanded Coleman's scouts. We were to go south to Decatur, and send our reports by a courier line to Gen. Bragg at Missionary Ridge. When we received our orders we were told that the duty was very dangerous and that they did not expect but few of us to return; that we would proba bly be captured or killed, and wewerc cautioned against exposing ourselves unnecessarily. After we had been in Tennessee about ten days we watched the 16th army corps, commanded by Gen. Dodge, move up from Corinth to Pu laski. We agreed that we would leave for the South on Friday, the 19th of November, 1S63. A number had been captured and several killed. We were to start that night, each man for himself; each of us had his own information, but I di'l not write it down or make any memorandum of it, for fear of being captured. I had counted almost every regiment and all the artillery in the 16th corps,, and found out that they were moving on Chattanooga. Late in the afternoon we started out and ran into the 7th Kansas cavalry, known as the "Kan sas Jayhawkers," and when we were told that regiment had captured us we thought our time had come. We were taken to Pulaski, about fifteen miles away, and put into jail, where several other prisoners had been sent, and among whom was Sam Davis. I talked with him over our prospects of impris onment and escape, which were very gloomy. Davis said they had search ed him that day and found some pa pers upon him, and that he had been taken to Gen. Dodge's headquarters. They also found in his saddle seat maps and descriptions of the fortifica tions at Nashville and olher points, and an exact report of the Federal army in Tennessee. They found in his boot a letter, with other papers, which was intended for Gen. Bragg. Davis was taken to Gen. Dodge's headquarters, and this is what took place between them, which Gen. Dodge told me recently: "I took him to ray private office," said Gen. Dodge, "and I told him it was a very serious charge brought against him; that he was a spy, and from what I found upon his person he had accurate information in regard to my. army, and I must know where he obtained it. I told him he was a young man, and did not seem to real ize the danger he was in. Up to that time he said nothing, but then he re plied in a most respectful and dignified manner: " 'Gen. Dodge, I know the danger of my situation, and I am willing to take the consequences.' "I asked him then to give the name of the person from whom he got the information; that I knew it must be some one near headquarters who had given him the plans of the Federal army. He replied: " know that I will have to die, but I will not tell where I got the in formation, and there is no power on earth that can make me tell. You are doing your duty as a soldier, and I am doing mine. If I have to die I do so feeling that I am doing my duty to my God and my country.' "I pleaded with and urged him with all the power I possessed to give me some chance to save his life, for I dis covered that he was a most admirable young fellow, with the highest char acter and strictest integrity. He then said: 'It is useless to talk teme. I do not intend to do it. You can court-martial me, but I will not be tray the trust reposed in me.' "He thanked me for the interest I had taken in him, and I sent him back to prison. I immediately called a court-martial to try him." The night before he was hanged ho wrote the following letter to his moth er and father: "Pulaski, Giles County, Tcnn., No vember 26, 1863.?Dear Mother: Oh, how painful it is to write to you! I have to die to-morrow morning?to be hanged by the Federals. Mother, do not grieve for me. I must bid you good-bye forevermorc. Mother, I do not fear to die. Give my love to all. Your son. Samuel Davis. "Mother, tell all the children to be good. I wish I could see you all once more, but I never will any more. Mother, and father, do not forget me. Think of me when I am dead, but do not grieve for me. It will not do any good. Father, you can send after my remains if you want to do so. They will be at Pulaski, Tenn. I will leave some things, too, with the hotel keep er for you. Pulaski is in Giles Coun tv, Tsnn., south of Columbia. S. D." After tbe sentence he was put into a cell in the jail, and we did not see anything of him until Thursday morn ing, the day before the execution. We were ordered to get ready, as we were going to be removed to the Court House, on the public square, about one hundred feet from the jail. Da vis was handcuffed and was brought in just as we were eating breakfast. I gave him a piece of meat that I had been cooking, and he, being hand cuffed, was compelled to eat it with both hands. He thanked me, and we all bade him good-bye, and were sent to Trashy Medicines. Many such flood the market.

D., Atlanta, Ga, the Court House, and the guard was doubled. The nest morning, Friday, Novem I ber 27, at 10 o'clock, wc heard the I drums and a regiment of infantry ' marching down to the jail, and a wa gon with a coffin in it was driven up, and the provost marshal went into the jail and brought Davis out. He got into the wagon and stood up and look ed around at the Court House, and, seeing us at the windows, bowed to us his last farewell. Ile was dressed in a dark brown overcoat, with a cape to it, which had been a blue Federal coat, such as many of us had captured and then dyed brown. I note this be cause it has been stated that he was dressed in citizen's clothes. I do not remember exactly, but I think he had on a gray jacket underneath. He then sat down upon his coffin, and the regiment moved off to the suburbs of the town, where the gallows were built. Upon reaching the gallows he got out of the wagon and took his scat on a bench under a tree. He asked Capt. Armstrong how long he had to live. He replied, "Fifteen minutes." Ile then asked Capt. Armstrong the news. He told him of the battle of Mission ary Ridge, and that our army had been defeated. He expressed much regret, and said: "The boys will have to fight without me. Armstrong said: "I regret very much having to do this; I feel that I would most rather die myself than to do what I have to." Davis re plied: "I do not think hard of you; you are doing your duty." Gen. Dodge still had hopes that Da vis would recant when he saw that death was staring him in the face, and that he would reveal the name of the traitor in his camp. He sent Capt. Chickasaw, of his staff, to Davis. He rapidly approached the scaffold, jump ed from his horse, and went directly to Davis and asked if it would not be better for him to speak the name of the one from whom he had received the contents of the document found upon him, adding, "It is not too late yet." And then, in his last ex tremity, Davis turned upon him and said: "If I had a thousand lives I would lo3e them all here before I would be tray my friends or the confldcncc of my informer." He then requested him to thank Gen. Dodge for his efforts to save him, but to repeat that he could not accept the terms. Turning to the chaplain, he gave him a few keepsakes to send to his mother. He then said to the pro vost marshal, "I am ready," ascend ed the scaffold, and stepped upon the trap. Thus passed away one of the sub limest and noblest characters known in history, and in future ages his act will be pointed to as worthy of emula tion. The bust in the Parthenon by the sculptor, George Julian Zolnay, is a heroic figure, and one of the most ad mired works of art in the building. Mr. Zolnay has given the work a no bleness, a firmnesB that, while it ap peals to the masses on account of its strength, also has a softness that impresses every visitor. It is one of Mr. Zolnay's best productions. A numb?r of leading Confederates are now raising a fund to erect a mon ument over the spot where he was ex ecuted. A large amount has already been contributed for the purpose. ? It is said that dogs in a wild state do not bark. An investigator is led to believe that the true reason for their barking was their endeavor to talk to man. Wild dogs howl and whine, but do not bark. In the wilds of Egypt the shepherd dog makes a soft, peculiar noise, but it docs not suggest barking.

Mrs. John Mance, one of the oddest of odd characters, was found dead seated by the roadside in Clay county, Tenn., recently. Hers was indeed a strange and eventful life. Sixty years ago Jacob Schroder, a Pennsylvania Dutchman, emigrated to this section of Kentucky and settled down to farming and dealing in stock. His family consisted of two pons and a daughter. By frugal habits Schroder accumulated considerable property and was known as one of the wealthi est men of this section. The daugh ter, Kate, had many admirers, the fa vored suitor being Wilson Begginan, a carpenter. Owing to a fancied in sult offered him by Beggman, old man Schroder was opposed to the marriage of his daughter, and forbade Beggman entering his house. A few days after the wordy war between the two men, old Schroder was shot from ambush. Suspicion pointed to Beggman as being the assassin, but the evidence was not sufficient to warrant his arrest Two weeks after the murder Beggman attempted to elopo with Kate Schro der. The eloping couple were over taken by the two Schroder boys and Beggman was killed. The Schr?ders left for parts unknown. Two years later Kate Schroder married John M. Mance,afarmer and former admirer. At the commencement of the war, Mance, who was a strong Southern sympathizer, was arrested and taken to Louisville, where he died in prison. Mrs. Mance always claimed his death was caused by the cruel treatment of his captors. Burning for revenge, Mrs. Mance entered the service of the rebels in the capacity of a spy. She was of great service to the Confeder ates, and was considered one of the most daring epics in the service. She was with Bragg when he raided through Kentucky, and at the battle of Perryville handled a musket in the front ranks. During the war she was usually atiircd in male attire, unless feminine attire suited her purpose bet ter. Many were her hair-breadth escapes from capture and death. One of the closest calls she ever experienced was while Fording Red River, in Logan County, Ky. She had visited Rus Bcllville in search of information. An hour after her departure the Fed eral commander of the town, learning she was a rebel spy, dispatched a com pany of cavalry to capture or kill her. The troops overtook the daring wo man at the river, which was bank full and past fording, owing to recent rains. With certain death behind and a dangerous river in front, she plunged into the raging torrent. When half way across the stream the Federal cavalry appeared and fired a volley at the l?ccing woman. Her horse was killed and she received a wound in the shoulder. Supposing she had received her death wound, the troops left her to the mercies of the stream. She was washed against a pile of driftwood and reached the opposite shore. She reached her command and gave infor mation which resulted in the cap ture of Russellvillc the following week. During her career as- a scout she made oath that not until the indepen dence of the Confederate States would she ever sleep beneath a roof. At the close of the war Mrs. Mance returned to this county, sold her little farm, and began a roaming life, which ended only in her death last week. Securing a spring wagon, a horse and several head of milch cows, she roamed through southern Kentucky and northern Tennessee. Wherever good grazing could be found there she would camp for an indefinite period. Her wants were few and simple, and were supplied by selling milk and but ter. This life she led both winter and summer. A perfect storehouse of information, yet she never referred to her own life, and it was with great difficulty that this short sketch was secured. At the time of her death she had twenty milch cows. These she had milked up to the hour of her death. Finding *he grim monster beckoning, she seated herself by the roadside, leaned against a tree and was dead when discovered. She kept her oath made during the rebellion. For thir ty-three years she never slept under a roof. SPECIALS FOR JULY.

The colored settlement over in the Bullneck district was the scone of a high toned wedding at noon yesterday, which might havo been pulled oil"all right to the last round but for the sudden burst of enthusiasm upon the part of the best man, which came near precipitating a goneral riot. The adieus had been said, and the newly married pair were about entering a two-mule wagon at the gate for a trip to the rural villa of the groom, when the mine was exploded beneath them. In accordance with the usual cus tom on suoh occasions, the company bad peltod the couple with rico, hominy, and a goneral assortment of groceries, when the "best man" loped to the front with the conventional old shoe, which in this instance happened to be a cast off No. 11 brogan of tho bride's father and weighed four pounds net, to say nothing of a half pound of dry mud that clung to the heel and instep. The ehoo hurler steadied himself, and amidst a burst of applause let ily the token of good'uck. His aim was faultless, the shoe striking the bride In the burr of the oar and knocking her j senseless. Blood trickled from the ? wound, and at the sight of this the groom ' bocame frenzlod with rage, and made for the best man with a razor. In the gen eral tumult tho mules took fright and ran away, and the bridal trip thus came to a sudden and unexpected halt. A warrant charging the shoe thrower with assault and battery upon the bride has boon sworn out, and the next round in the matrimonial melee will be fought to morrow with the justice of tho peace as roforeo.? mcricus Recorder. How to Manage Boys. During tho spring and summer seasons tho police are constantly receiving oom Elaints against the irresponsible small oy. Congregating on the street corners, making loud noises and playing base ball are charges received almost daily, and those complaints give the police more trouble than do the more serious violations of law. Occasionally complaint is mado of the smashing of a window, the tearing down of houses or of the threatened destruction of the city. Recently a complaint was received in which complaint was made that somo boys in Southeast Washington were sotting off fireworks in a vacant house. Major Mooro says that somo of the com plaints indicato tho probable destruction of the city, and ono morning, when the question arose of what Bhould be done to keep down tho small boys, he asked : "What are we to do with young Amer ica? Are the police powerless?" ' There's only one way to put on end to these complaints," suggested Lieut. Vornon. "And what is that?" "Drown tho boys ?" The youngsters have not been drowned and complaints are as numerous as ever. ? Washington Star. Baby Mine!

'Phoue 44. ?Fred Schaeffer's fine five acro orchard, near St. Louis, lately took a notion to blide down the hillside and over a preci pice. The upper crust of earth thirteen feet thick slid completely off, revealing, however, a deposit of fire clay twenty feet thick, which is far more valuable than the recreant orchard. The moral of this is that what appears at first to bo a misfortune is really a blessing. ? Five years ago John Seimell of TTazloton, Ponn., felt an obstruction in his throat which impeded his speech. Surgical assistance seemed to be useless, and before long Seimell was completely deal and dumb. A few days ago he was attacked with a fit o? coughing, and when it stopped he was surprised to find that the obstruction in his throat waa gone, and that he could talk. His recovery of both his lost faculties is now complete, but he is at a loss as to the nature of the obstruction which disappeared during bis coughing fit. Of the Face. Mrs. Laura E. Mims, of Smithville.Ga., says: "A small pimple of a strawberry color appeared on my cheek; it soon began to grow rapidly, notwithstand ing all efforts to check it. ? My eye became terribly inflamed, and was so swollen thai: for quite a while I could not see. The doctors said I had Cancer of the most malignant type, and after ex hausting their efforts without doing me any good, they gave up the case as hopeless. When in formed that my father had died from the same disease, they said I must die, as hereditary Cancer was incurable. ? "At this crisis, I was advised to try S.S.S., and in a short while the Cancer began to discharge and continued to do so fo' " ree months, then it began to hea' continued the medicine a while long, until the Cancer disappeared en tirely.
