Colonel Mosby dared death over 111 ' ty years ago when at the head of a hand of a few hundred Confederal*' i raiders he rode up and down the Shen 1 amloah valley, capturing outposts, de stroying supply trains, and cutilug oft j means of opmmun leut Ion.

Although surrounded by an army, said to have l?een 17,000 strong, the raiders calmly kidnapped the general, ids staff and many sen tries. ami turned them over-io Uie ^Confederate authorities at Cul.tjeppor without having lost a man. General Grant once later saved Alos by from hanging, and the two foes of the battlefield became staunch friends Moshy stumped the state of Virginia for Grant during his Presidential cam I paign, and was rewarded with, an ap pointment as consul at Hong Kong, a I lost, which he held for seven years. When lie returned to the United States Moshy called on the surviving mem bers of ids rangers, and, to bis aston ishment, he. found that a large i>ereent age of them had become ministers. In parting, their old colonel said : "Well, boys,' if you light the devil like you fought the Yankees, there will be some thing to record on Judgment Day." We next become special land agent for the government in Colorado, and from 1004 to 1010 he was an attorney in_ the .Department of Justice.
