WAR ST .'Mrs. De Hossett iim Bloc 4 Our Women io the War" "Truth is stranger then fiction" has often been averred and certain it .sceins-to i?vc been the case in regard to the thrilling adventure of Mrs. Dc l?ossett and her then baby daughter, Gabriclle de Gondin Do Kossett. During the war of Secession Mrs. :)e HoEsett's husband, Louis De libs sctt, one of the trusted agents <-f the Confederate Government, had run the 'blockade successfully find reached Nassau, when he, unfortunately, was overtaken by that dread disease y<-l low fever. The young wife heard of his illntss and declared tlr she and her child must go to him so hat she jould nurse him, and in spite of pro tests flora her family and friends, she went. One d?rk ni^'iit a very long, low, akish steamer, which was watched by a cordon of vessels waiting outside 2ot her, lay in the port of Wilming ton, N. C. This was the steamer "Lynx." Her master was an old salt in experience, (though young in years,) a successful blockade runner, and he bad almost concluded it was not bis night for aotion. He was well aware that the fleet of the enemy knew of his presence in the port of Wilmington just es woll as ho did himself, but the mother was aboard with her baby and her heart was full cf nope and trust a? she prayed ear nestly that the sick huBhand would noon be better and that it would not be many days before aho would beat lit:* sid/?. The ?00d, warOl-hcartod Swedish gen?rninn. Capt. E. C. Heed, had said theciful things to encourage her, '-for the time of wailing hung heavily. Still ho talked confidently, heartened' his men and communed with the ofii ? aors. Then bo looked at the weather, for time was money to him and ho longed to see his owners. Being still compelled to lay idle his thoughts reverted to his strange passengers, "Mrs. Do Eossett and her baby. Tho lady "bad formerly lived io ^Charleston beforo her marriago, when she was Miss Maria T. Finley. As be passed the cabin door an anxious face looked questioningly into tho - aptnin's and inquired: "Captain, bave yon any instructions for me to night if we should steal out?" "No, for there is not any chance for slip ping away; calm yourself, and goto sleep and rest,'' ho replied. sBoing near Fort Fisher the men on watch Teportcd every movement around them in tbo harbor. Even the slighteft ohango of wcathor or wind, or tbe twinkling of the red, white and Mue lights of the vessels were brought %o ihe notice of the captain. there were only a few days in each month - which suited for entering or leaving the harbor, so that it was importaut 'to improve the least ohanoo, and de cays were dangerous. The officers null y reported tho wind "southwest ?>y v;cst, Captain!" -**'<Ib that good for us?" asked a gen tle voice in the gloom? "It does no one good tonight," was tbo Captain's scply. -'Tho tide is strong against us. Bun to bed. I may move the vessel nearer the Fcrt or 30 higher up the river. Do not allow it to disturb you. T?emember, you must bo ready to go when we start, and expect no uelp from any one but myself. The weather is warm and you need no ex> ttra clothing.

Close beside the Captain etood the : intrepid mother. The ''Lynx" pass ; ed oui between two vessels, getting ready to chase her. One steamer ahead kept tiring and thereby lighting ! up the bay with signala. Then a shot from one struck near the "Lynx,'' another hurst over her deck, sending fragments into her machinery, which ' caused the steamer to hiss with cs ' caping steam: while she made great circles as if she intended to surrender j to the fleet. This was not the case, nor was she making for Fort Fisher, her Captain was searching for shoal water in which to beach her. Then at last, she struck, and immediately all was confusion aboard the damaged and leaking ship. The baby was bundled up in a blan ket, held by somo of tho crew by tho four corners and tossed into tho wait ing arms of tho men who had reached the shore. The Captain signalled Mrs. Do Kossctt to follow him, urging her meanwhile not to lose courage and promising that he would carry her) safely to tho shore. Into tho water j j he plunged, followed by the coura- ' gcous woman. IliddiDg her place j her hands on his shoulders he grasped her firmly in his arms and dashed through the water, on through the aurf, and soon mother a-ul child were i united again. A conveyance was at 1 unco secured for them and they, with the rest of tho party, after a tedious twenty-mile drive over the low sandy road, rnaohed Wilmington iti safety. But this did not suffice. Soon af ter Mrs. Do Uossett, nothing daunted, again left Wilmington aboard the blockade runner, "Tallahassee," with Commander Maflitt. She left, in tho teeth of tho Storm, for Nassau, and BUCoeedcd in reaching hor destination with her child in safoty. With, tho tender nursing of a loving wife, tho husband recovorcd and Mr. De Kossctt at once took his family to England. Lord Letton waB then the lion of the hour. Having heard of tho heroism of tho young American wife, now in his own eountry, ho sought an introduction. In her he found the daughter of an old friend of his, whom ho onoo knew in Charleston, around which a protty romance centres. Years before the war botwecn the States, Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton had been british minister to the United States. Ho had known tho Scotch family of Ancrum, who had settled in Charleston. (The tourist of today may seo the ruins of Anorum Castle, at Edinburgh.") By invitation he visited them in their South Carolina home, spending several weeks in Charleston as their guest, and be bo oanie very muoh enamored of one of tho young ladies, an I it is said wrote in her honor tho p.-jtty old ballad bo ginning: "When stars are in tho quiet skies, Then most I pine for thee; Bend on me then thy tender eyes As stars look on the sea." The lady wrote the musio and the reflection of tho stars in the water, seen from the famous old Battery, togother with the beauty of Miss An crum, and the fasoioation of tho moonlight nights of that Boft South ern climate, inspired the poet and peer to write the song that is sung everywherh by those who have sever beard the story of its authorship. Alas! Miss Anorum did not return his tender passion, but gave her heart to another. Sir Bulwer Lytton iaft hi;. -10UUtry and was sent as minister to Constantinople. It was a strange ohsnoe of fortune that after a lapse of yo ira he Bhould meet the daughter of his early American sweetheart. Thns it was that be introduced Mr. and Mrs. De Bossett to the most ex* olusive oirolea in Great Britain and invited them to Knebworth Castle, bit most beautiful country neat. The baby was baptized there, and he stood godfather for the little one The De Rossetts took a house in Kensington and lived there until pesae was re stored. Lord Lytton taught the little ] Gabrielleto repeat his poetry and re membered h or in bis will with a thousand pounds and the copyright of his best dramas. Mrs. Ds Bossett died in England, and the little girl was brought bsok to her kindred in Wilmington to face with a courage, not nnwortby of hor =:ether, luv changed condition of things..

The Burial of wir.? Henry On the fateful 17th of February, 1805, tlie Southern Confederacy was pgonitiug in its death throes; South Carolina's Capital lay at the mercy of implacable foen, Sherman's army, sixty thousand strong, invested the Pair city on the Congarce. An army of which history chroni cles: "Fire and sword marked its ap proach: desolation and ruin lay in i's wake!" As Capital of the bold State, that ws3 ?rst to sever the bonds of tho Union, and pass the ordinance of secession, Columbia was doomed. Sorrowfully Mayor Goodwyn had surrendered the city, and with bated breath the inhabitants, consisting chiefly of women and children, await ed the result. At this critical moment the pure spirit of Mrs. Henry took its flight; and soared from troublesome Ecencs of warfare and carnage, to the Celes tial abode of Eternal Peace. This Christian gentlewoman was the widow of Dr. llobert Henry, for many years, prior to the civil war, an hon ored professor in tho South Carolina College. The tramp of march?Dg blue-clad soldiers, the ring of horses' hoofs, I the rattle of small arms, tho thunder I ing roll of heavy artillery, broke the ominous silence, which erstwhile had reigned in tho deserted streets. All too soon the gloomy February day give place to a night of horrow. A dozen red flames shot upward to ward tho murky sky. a dozen, rapidly iocreasiog, until hundreds oould bo counted. Here, there, everywhere, until tho black dome overhead grow luminous, reflecting tho flames, and the Coogaree mirrored in its swoleo, muddy bosom tho fiery illumination of earth and sky. Cries of fear, shrieks of terror hurst from the lips of helpless ohildren and terrified women, as thoy flod, panic-stricken, from their burning homes. The flames roared and crackled, and mounting higher, seemed to touch and embrace the lurid hoavens; and swept liko a solid wall of flic around the street corners; devouring everything within reaoh. The uight wind caught the fire-brands and hurled them hither and thither. Added to the roar of the flames and children, wore tho loud oaths of intox icated men; the ribald jests and the taunting laughter of tbc plundering soldiers robbing and thon applying the torch to the homes of tho unfor tunates. Military discipline was removed. Law and order manacled Lawlessness, and rapacity, rampant! Pandemonium reigned supreme: Hark! as tho smouldering piles, with thunder fall, A thousand shrieks for hopeless mere5 call! Earth shook?rod meteors 'flashed along tho sky? And conscious naturo shuddered at .... ? * ' ?- ~*j It was a panorama of Dante's In ferno, with a terrible reality tho poet's imagination could not give. Women, reared in homes of cul ture and wealth, rushed bareheaded through the fire-lit Btre?tB, among the rude soldiery, dragging their helpless ohildren to places or safety. . The College campus, the park and the oeiuoteries, together with tbe few, remaining homes which escaped the conflagration, were the havens (f refuge, to which tho panic-strioken oreatureB fled. But even the roughest soldier paus ed with the unuttered oath on his profane lips?awed with silence as one procession filed slowly by. The Mother Superior and her black robed nuns; * with the frighteneu pupils committed to her oharge. Relying on a promise of protection from Sherman, himself, the superior deemed her convent saf?, and willing ly assumed oharge of the young girls sent to her for proteotion and educa tion. But to her dismay the good woman found that her saored habita toin was no exception to the plunder er and his toroh. And with her little band, she was forced to leave the burning convent and seek shelter in the Catholic Church. The State Houe*, a massive, s truc-, iure of granite, was at that tjmo in compl?te, and osoapod d?molition. But the iron Palmetto tree, emblem of South Carolina, lay crashed and broken, like the State it represented. Among Sherman's officers there may have been some .who viewed this scene of des traction and lioontiouB ncDs with disgust and ehamo. At least, It is charitable to supposo so. Was no, Sir Galahad abroad with lanco in rest in this hour of human extremity and despersts seed? vV taimy it was a time when the redress of suo?i wrongs might hate aided in the tfuest for the Holy Grail) In the chamber of death the dnega ters of Mrs. Hesry, and a few loyal friande kept watoh. Outside the great conflagration raged fiercely, and in the yard the faithful servants Vainly implored the ruthless soldiers fcot to fire .the Konto containing th dead body of their mistress. I cl?imiog to Mis? Henry: "O! Mips Au ou, I done all I kin ter keep dem Yankees from burning de boute, but <ley iti M'ttin' it a?ro, right now, brecs Je Lawn1!" Stimulated to action by the horror of the hituatiou, Miss Henry rushed out in the front porch, ringing her bandy, cried: "Id there no Mason among these soldici8, who will come to the relief of a Mason's daughter, in her deep distress?" The vow of Knighthood was to de fend the defenceless, to protect wo manhood! Is not a similar promise demanded in the great fraternity of FrcomasouB? A nu-jiber of troops wore marching by. A young Federal officer drew rems; and said in answer to her ap peal: "I am a Masou , madam; how can 1 serve you?" liriefly Miss Henry described the situation, and implored him to save the house, and prevent her mother's body from beieg cremated. A sharp order issued to tho troops and soon every trespassing soldier was forced to leave the inolosure, tho lircs wore extinguished and a guard placed around the house. Then the officer oouc'ut Miss Honry and informed her that Gen. Sher man's headquarters were within a block or two of h r home, that he would immediately seek the General, explain the situation, and secure a permanent guard. The promise was fulfilled. A guard was kept around the bouse, and every delicate courtesy possible was shown by the young Federaloffioer to the be reaved and helpless ladies.. A gloomy day succeeded the night of lurid hours. The leaden olouds hung low over smouldering, black ened ruins. The volumes of smoke assoeoded from the burned buildings, and blended with the gray, low-lying sky; from which a chilly moisture dripped, increasing tho discor rt of the homeless, wrctohed inhabitants of tho ruined city. The Federal army romaioed several days in Columbia and it became neces sary to. consign to the bosom of mother earth the beloved dead. A perplexing, as well as distressing question, confronted tho bereaved daughters of Mrs. Henry. Tho un dertaking establishments had shared the general destruction. Neither oasket, hearse, noroarriage were left, and no material nor tools to make a coffin. The Federal officer, I .have alluded to, was egaiu equal to the* emergency. He requested permission to examine the premises. And in the basement of Che dwel}iog he found the piano box, whore it had been stored. Ont of this material the oarpenters of Gen. Sherman's army framed a rude coffin, and the body of Mrs. Henry was placed therein. Ahl the noble spirit had soared fsr beyond the oontraoted sphero of earthly environment. Prof. Henry had been interred with .all the honor which could be accorded a loved and highly honored professor of the South Carolina Col lege, in the prosperous ante bellum days. What a painful oontrastl On a dreary February day, a for lorn funeral prooession wended its way through the desolate streets of the ruined oity to Trinity Church A young Federal officer was among the strioken mourners. - The impressive service of the Epis-1 copal Church was /ead, and the es teemed and beloved dead consigned to the bosom of mother earth.

An Andersun Lady Writ?s \}mtt the Laud of Flowers. Miami, Fla., Feb. llth, 1005. Dear Jeff : Your last letter received yoHierday aad waH highly appreciated. We look forward to your letters every day, and feel a keen disappointment when we fail to pet one. I can scarce ly realize that you are haviug so much snow and sleet in Anderson, while we are backing in sunshine and flowers. The thermometer has been ranging in the eighties all the past week, and it is lovely t jday, but a Bhade cooler, and a light wind blowing reminds me a little of Maroh. The wind blew consider ably yesterday afternoon from the North and we thought it would rain last night and be cool this morning, but it did not rain and is still warm. Wo need rain and would be glad to have a good rain. As we walk about we see people watering their yards, just like we do in the summer time, and the flowcra are too pretty and sweet for me todesoribe. The grounds around the Royal Palm Hotel look like fairy land and smell so sweet. I never saw so muoh sweet alysum be fore; it is suoh a beautiful border for beds, with geraniums in the centre. Some la lies and gentlemen, three of them from our house, went out in a boat to Gape Florida yesterday after noon, seven or eight miles out, aud as they were returning a heavy wind set in, the gasoline gave out, and they had no oars nor anything to work with, and were drifted about in a rough sea for some time, and came near turning over. They were terribly frightened and would have been drowned, no doubt, if the launch, Jeannette, had not seen their distress signals and went to their relief. They tied their white handkerchiefs to the tops of their umbrellas and waved them frantically for help and the cap tain finally saw them and sailed their assistance, tied a rope to thoii boat and towed them in. To add tc I the horrors of the situation tbo boat I commenced leaking and tlfey had tc I get the buckets. It was very thrill ing to hear the ladies tell it. One of the ladies, Mrs. Thorne, from New York, is one of our good friends. We were going down to supper, and al the head of the stairs we met her com iog up, supported by airs. McKiniey, ??ether friend, looking so pale and I terrified that it scared us like any thing. She said, "Oh! I like to have been drowned!" and she wa? nearly rigid and so cold. I ran to my roou; and got some whiskey and gave to her, xand she soon oamo around all- right, and you ought to have seen the in terest we all took in hearing about it She said they all thought they would be drowned and prayed for help. One lady and little1 girl knelt in the boat and prayed to be delivered. It was a thrilling time. She said she would not get in another boat for anything. Well, we thought we would start for hersc scst week, bat ' as it is bo oold up there we will stay another week, or until the weather, will do for us to come. We could not otand the freezing weather? am afraid, it would make us sick. I am getting anxious to coino home and see yoc all again. It aeems a long time we have been away.

King Edward, when ho opens Par- | limitent on Tuesday next, will make ? sensational announcement, tho secret of which has been until now well kept. It is nothing moro nor less than the intimation that ho proposes to visit this year one of the greatest transpon tioe dependencies of the British Em pire. All of his arrangements are be ing made with a view to his absence months at the close, so it is said, of the from England for at least a couple of London season. His destination will either be South Afrioa or Canada There are reasons to believe that it will be Canada. Although he visited the Dominion nearly half a century ago, and ba9 never yet been iu South Africa, where bis pfeneuce might do mush toward conciliating the Dutch and Boer element, yet tho trip to Can ada and through the Dominion oould undoubtedly bo made with a greater degrco of comfort and loss fatigue than the long sea vogage to the Cape, and Pretoria, and possible to the end of the railroad line on the Zambesi river. Should Edward VII oome to Cana da, he would bo likely to include in his itinerary a brief visit to the United States and an interview with Presi dent Roosevelt. No ruler of any of the great powers of Europe has ever as yet paid to the United States thn compliment of visiting thin country as sovereign. Thero has been a good deal of talk about Emperor William crossing the Atlantic, for the purpose. It would be quite in keeping with the policy of Great Britain during the last two or three years if she were to get ahead of Germany in the matter, just as she has in the case of France. Friendship with tho United States is the keynote of the policy of King BQnKUBOBMMBMrja =3 Edward, as it is of the Kaiser. That there is a keeo competition for it arnoog foreign power.*, and that the visit of a mouaroh such as Edward V II or Emperor William to America would undoubtedly improve the relation? of of the latter with their respective countries is not to be questioned. Moreover, there are considerations which render it desirable that the king should visit Canada just now. ' The relations of Canada with the mother country have been somewhat strained of late by differences on the subject of tariff, cf boundary and of colonial contributions toward the main tenance of the imperial army and navy. King Edward's presence in his great North American dependency would serve to smooth away the . irri tation which now exists against the home government in many parts of tho Dominion. .~-r His ?wful Threat.
