Tb* PwmnuI Reoollectlo* of Aa ' Old Ooafed«rate Soldier, Who Spoat Some Time la the Prleoa Peas of the North Daring the War, PabUshed la Repljr to Oor* pond Tenaer’a Tirade. * « • To the Editor of The News sad Courier: I bare read with feelings of disgust the article headed "Union Veterans Indignant,'' in The Sunday News of the 2f inst. Corpl. Tanner said: "When the ac- eursed soul of Capt. Win floated into the oorridon of hell the deril recog nised that his only possible competi tor was there.’’ This may be ac counted for by the fact that Capt. A. Walker, prorost marshal of the pris- on camt at Hart’s Island, N. Y., was still lirlng. I can well remember, as a boy still in my teens, my arriral, at this pen in the month of March, 1895. after spending a time at Pollock Street Jail at New Bern, N. C. It was a fearfully cold, windy day, and when we reached the sheds, occupying three tides of a square and sur rounded by the waters of Long Is land, we were delighted to find large heating stoves known as self-feeders, allowing one to each hundred men, and beside the door a ton of hard coal. Imagine our dlsappointnieot when, after * night of comfort, the nert morning the quartermaster came and tore down every stove and removed every lump of coal. This was but the beginning,-for in a few days we were ordered to fall In with all of our effects, then place them before us upon the ground. What then? A non-commissioned officer started, and every keepsake or any article of value, even to a pocket knife was stolen. This was' the order of the commandant, A. Walker, net Major Wirs. Every Indignity was‘studied out that they might he heaped upon us. Push carts with ptbk and shovel were provided, 'and the men worked as convicts (dearlng stone from parade ground. AU of this was done with Tanner. I well remember at day- night with my friend, Alick De Choisey, Marion Artillery, going to the well in the middle of parade ground for a drink of water, an old soldier, I forget his* name, was a few steps in front of me. Without a word of warning we were fired upon and the old soldier fell dead. When I reached tne barracks and offered the water to^jpy friend, Alick, 1 found hla<4»ad, ~ A3ho, we had a hos pital, but our poor fellows were al lowed to remain in tnelr bunks un til they were so weak that many died In being carried to it. Corpl. Tanner says we gfve them plenty to eat. He certainly finust be an ascetic. SHOT BY A NEGRO. DESERTS HUSBAND AYomi WMU Man It Sariousty In a Raw. Mr. Walter Boylestoa, While on His Way Home From this City, Has an Altercation With Isaac Glover. . * ‘-v- Mr. Walter Boyleston, a young white man about twenty years of age, was shot and perhaps seriously wounded at half-past 6 o’clock Tues day-night by Isaac Glover, a negro who had been employed on the sew er work now in progress in this city. The shooting occurred Just on the other side of the Edlsto River, about aTmlfr'from Orangeburg, while Mr. Boyleston was on his way home from the city. There is evidence of only one shot having taken effect, and from what can be learned no others were fired. The ball entered at the bottom of the neck Just above the Junction of the collar and breast bones. Soon after the shooting the wound ed man was brought Into the city ang taken to the Wannamaker Manufac-< turlng Company's Drug Store, where an examination was made by Drs. D. D. Salley and L. C. Shecut. It was deemed advisable to send Boyleston to the Columbia Hospital on the eight o'clock train, and hence the doctors did not have time in wlhcfa to make thorough examination to locate the ball. Up to the time for leaving for Columbia Boyleston was cheerful and the loss of blbod did not seem to have affected his strength to any extent. He was conscious the whole time, and was willing to talk about the affair as much as the doctors would allow him on account of the uncertainty of his real condition and the possibility of his being fatal ly wounded. It was thought best to have Boy leston make an ante-mortem state ment, which, after It had been writr ten down, he signed In the presence of a number of witnesses. The state ment is substantially as follows. "‘I. was going home in my buggy alone and had Just crossed the.'first bridge on the causeway beyond the river when I hollered, ‘Heigh,’ Just the plenty to eat referred to by Oorpl l for ^ np i 1 did not see Ih* negro, who wag coining from the opposite direc- break one morning after being ufi ilT^ 011 on foot- Just as I hollered the negro cursed me and dared me to get out of the buggy. I got out and went towards the negro and asked him what he meant We clinched and the negro pushed me into the ditch- and fired. I had a 28-calibre pistol In my hip pocket, but made no attempt to draw It. My pistol was not in my pocket after the shot was fired, I saw no one until Mr. Wm. Hartnett and Mr. Lowery drove up." Mr. Hartnett says that he passed In his buggy and saw Boyleston and the negro rowing and after driving a little further be heard - one shot. towards the city and found BoyTes- * FW Blj' TnTormaHon. our bill ofl ton ,n th *’ ditch with a bullet wound fare was. one-half loaf of baker’s., bread and six ounces of salt beef in the morning.

This is the plenty that We .Fort, required to live upon, except on one occasion when an army wagon load of green mutton was hauled in which, if eaten, would have finished a few thousands of our brave boys, but our head doctor, who, by the way, was at Fort Moultrie before the war, and was a friend of the Rev. Vhit- ford Smith, sent it out and we had no meat - Compare Wirx with Walker. Why, if the derlLkaew Walker waa coming he would have evachated hell before he came In sight. Major Win let the Northern prisoners have their boxes sent by friends. None ever entered our prison^wlthout being rifled or robbed, and few even then. I know this from the fact that I was at the provost marshal’s office as a clerk with my friend, Jesse Colton Lynes, and saw it almost dally. Well, I think we left near 300 dead there In three months. I, at least, was not in the emaciated condition referred to by Corpl. anner, for I weighed 140 pounds, and when I reached home I weighed only 95. So much food did not agree with me. Mr. Sherman, no doubt. In his march and pillage, found sufficient ^food from the simple fact that he robbed women and children and left them to starve. If the one hundred and odd thous and emaciated Confederate soldiers that were so well fed in Northern prisons had been released he never would have! disgraced this country by such a march and the noble wo men of the Confederacy could have placed any inscription on their monu ments without giving offence to the Grand Army of the Republic. Children unborn during the war are men now. Let us speak the truth. Respectfully, C. F. Stelnmeyer, 106 Beaufaln street, Charleston, January 27. in his neck He put the wounded manHn his buggy and brought him to town for medical attention. Boyleston says also that if the negro used his (Boyleston’s) pistol he doesn’t know how he got it, but thinks it must h%ve fallen from his pocket when he fell. r He said that the negro appeared to him to be drunk. The polici Immediately commenced -a-ssarch for Glover. They were In formed by a young brother of the negro who did the shooting that Glover stated that he shot with Boyleston’s pistol and was going to Sheriff Duke's to take the pistol and surrender. This he did at 11 o’clock that night and was placed in jail He also delivered up a 2 8-calibre Smith A Wesson pistol. Young Boyleston is the son of Mr. John A. Boyleston, a prominent far mer living just a few miles from town. He has been employed in the city and is considered a quiet and peaceable young man, and his friends hope that bis wound will ngt prove serious. We take the above account of the trouble from the News and Courier. U-Jraa. furnished by the Orangeburg correspondent of that paper.—Orangeburg Times and Dem ocrat Aid Marriit a Vary Old Man In Raw York City. A Colored Woman From Orangeburg Figures in a Queer Marriage Cere mony Up North. 1*. It seems that a colored woman from Orangeburg has takeh one hus band too much, which may get her In trouble. The following is. the story as it is told by the New York correspondent of the Washington Herald: City Clerk Scully got the biggest surprise he has had since he went into the marriage license business when an aged negro, dressed in cleri cal garb walked up to the desk this afternoon with a young negro woman clinging to his arm, and said he wanted to get a license just as soon as possible, because he was in a' hurry to be married. ^ ^ t; Clerk Scully took no Interest when the old person gave his name as Wil liam Brooks Mason and said he #as a clergyman, but when on being asked his age, he said, “I am 138 years old, and can show you my Bible If hoipe to prove it,”‘the city clerk dropped his pen in astonishment. “This is a serious thing,” the clerk said, “You know you’re under'oath, Brother Mason, and if you don’t tell me the truth about your age, I may refuse to give you the license." “Say, brbther,” replied the clergy man, ‘‘‘how do you-all suppose I could have held George Washington’s horse at^Yorktown if I ain’t as old’ as I say I am?" The crowd of waiting applicants began to grow sorlarge at this stage that Clerk Sculy filled out the li cense and let it go at that. * The wo man gave her name as E]la Hines, of 68 West 122rd street, and said she^r was twenty-eight years old.— Then the couple hunted up Alderman Jas. Smith, and were marriedMn short order. ^ News of the aged minister's wed- Danlel Hines, with whom the bride ding got to the house of her *brothei has been stopping for a few weeks before the bride and groom did, and Mrs. Hines, who was running the Mount Calvary Union Baptist mission in the front part or on the second floor, did not appear greatly pleas ed. “So she said her name was Hines did she," Mrs. Hines said. "Well, she has got no right to use that name. She’s already married, she is, and she's got a husband and two sisters down in Orangeburg, S. C. I’ve been afraid she was trying to get that old gentleman, and I’v^ been trying to tell him all about her, but I didn’t get a chance to correct him. My husband was going to tell him, too but, he’s kind of slow and didn’t think It was coming so soon, "Lord bless you, I donT know whether Elder Mason is 138 years We didn’ DREAMS AND GHOSTS.

Such questions are most Interesting, and now for the first time comes forward a wise man who ventures to answer them.

When Brother Hines arrived home He turned around and came bad from work late in the afternoon, he expressed himself in no. uncertain terms-about the marriage.

Walter Davis, colored, was killed At Manning Friday night at a negro danee, although there were quite a Bomber te attendance no one seemed to know how the killing was done. The Columbia Record says three young men of the Olympia mill vTT- lage—Claude Lawhorne, Marshall Parker and Tom Grimaley—are in the county jail, charged with break ing into the store of Magistrate S. I. Riley on the Bluff road, and taking, from the safe the hum of ^876 leav ing behind the amount of $74.50 in silver. Lawhorne has been em ployed at the store as a salesman for about eight weeks. ' He saw the money counted out and deposited in. the safe Saturday eyeulng and admits having had in his possession a slip of paper bearing- the combination of the safe. During fair week Mr. Riley lost a bunch of keys, containing, among others, the keys to the door of the store. Sunday night, as he was starting to church, these keys were brought to him by Marshall Parker, who claimed that he and Tom Grims- ley had found them neaf the reser voir. Mr. Riley pocketed the keys and went on to church. When he got back home he was Informed by Law horne that during tbs evening some one had entered the store, unlocking the side door, and had robbed the safe of $S76, gaining entrance to .right behind him, and i ll burn him up with mv words." The old preacher who looks like a well preserved man of about eighty said that his mother married an In dlan In Cuba, and that-when he was young he went to’ Virginia with his father, who was a sdlNfrt’ Tie hap pened to be in Yorktown when Gen eral Washington was there, and that Is how It came about that he held Washington’s Jiorse while he talked with Cornwallis. Elder Maso'n said he was in the ten-year war in Cuba, and wa.s a sail or on the gunboat Lancaster dhrlng the civil war. He had an eye shot out on the Lancaster, but he can see with his other eye without the aid of spectacles. He said that his fath er was lff2 years old when he died, his grandmother 143 and his mother 138. He smokesj but he said the reason he is so h-wsky at 138 is that he never takes anything with sugar In It, and lives according to the teachings of the Bible. ^ It is also said the aged clergyman used to be a policeman in Washing ton.. - of phycho-physics in the University of Berlin. He says that the mys terious country which we visit in our dreams is the Hereafter, and that the people we meet there are in reality ghosts. Some day, after we are dead, we may comeP to know them better. Each day of your existence on earth, says Professor Baer, may be regarded as » life in miniature. Night comes, and you die—tempor arily. The whole term of your sur vival In the world is a series of little life-times, Interrupted by brief per iods of seeming death, which we call sleep. ’ ^ The likeness of sleep to-death has been the subject of a vast deal of philosophical comment. But it is much closer and more striking flan Is gen erally imagined. * When you fall into slumber, your eyes turn upward, your heart-beat slackens, your pulse becomes feebler, and your breathing slows down. Your condition, In a word, * counterfeits death most re markably. If the death were real, your soul would take its departure for good and all, never to return. But in Tfils temporary state (according to' the theory of Professor Baer) It merely steps forth for a while, coming back when summoned by the waking con sciousness. In the meantime it may traverse enormous distances; for the soul, or ghost, seems to be uncon trolled by mere physical limitations such as retard and impede the move ments of the body. We often meet in our dreams peo ple who, as we well know, have long been dead. Yet, somehow, we are not in the least surprised. We talk to them, and hear them speak, as if it were quite a matter of course. Why should this be so. Professor Baer says it is simply because ghosts are the most natural kind of persons to encounter in the country of non-liv ing. It Is in the realm of the Hereafter these people dwell; a realm in.which (so Professor Baer believes) we must some day take up our own residence. It sems to be a country of shadows. But, unfortunately, the glimpses we get of It are too fleeting to enable us properly to judge. Or rather, might be said that, for some reason not easy to explain, our waking mem ories of our experiences in that mys- AOCISED OF 8WNDLING.

In the land beyond the threshold of waking consciousness appear to be cheerful enough. If we can judge oYthe con dition of the deadTrom what we see of them when we visit the. strange country they Inhabit, it would not seem that they are otherwise than nappy. On the contrary, they are often merry; they talk pleasantly and sometimes most amiydngly. It may be said that most of the people we meet in dreams are living Individuals. Yes, undoubtedly, but not the Iving persons themselves. These likewise (says Professor BaerJ are phantoms. For the, living have ghosts as well as the dead. What we mean by a ghost is the soul of a hu man being dead or alive, made visi ble to the eye. Such phenomena are rarely, If ever, obsberved, in waking momeats, but in the silent watches, when the spiritual self escapes through the back door of the mind and wanders abroad, they are so common aa to be not even note- worfhy. And, where the ghosts of the liv ing are concerned, what more nat- urar~than that your phantom, dr mine, when It slips out of the body and visits the, region of the Beyond, should meet the spectres of other sleepng persons, likewise on the ramble? Most of the souls (if such we shall call them) that we encoun ter on these occasions are, as might be expected those of total strangere, dread which will withhold not only s child, but almpst any grown person of either sex from passing alone though a graveyard at night. Indeed, it is safe to say that nothing in the world, or out of.lt, Is regarded with such universal fear as a ghost—this too, notwithstanding the fact that no authenticated inatance la on record Ini which a speereTor apparition of any kind did harm to a living crea ture. The superstitution in question is doubtless an Inheritance from our moat remote ancestors, who believed that the dead were iiable to assume tile guise and role of malignant de vils; but it seems strange that mod ern enlightenment should not have done away with so nonsensical a no tion. our dreams we encounter the ghosts of the dead, we are unterrifled. To do so, indeed, appears quite natural and a matter of course. For under such conditions the point of view is changed. We ourselves are phan toms likewise (according to Profes sor Baer), and we meet them, those otfiers, on an equal footing. *’ They pre not afraid of us, and why should we be afraid of them? 1 ~ r ; *^1 At, the bottom of the ghost-fear is a dread of the mysterious, the un known and the intangible. But, when your soul has made a tempor ary escape through the mind’s back door, it finds Itself in a world where, so to say, behind the scenes, and (as under circumstances on the stage) the mystery becomes mere matter of course. Intangibility is normal in the realm of.tlje Hereafter—^especial ly, when oneself is a part of it; Professor Baer advances his ideas on the subject not as a statement of ascertained fact,.qf course—the mat ter being one respecting which ex act knowledge is obviously Impossi ble—but as a theory, whlciT, he thinks, finds endorsement in definite and logical evidences. It is not prac ticable here, for lack of space, even to summarize these evidences, which are drawn to some extent from a study of what he calls the "ana tomy" of dreams. His conclusions —the essence of which lies in the theory that the dream life is in a certain sense a real life, and not merely a "magic lantern show," in which imagination uncontrolled, in fantastic ^colors, paints a multltute of slides"—may be put, as be offers them tentatively, in the form of questions;. To begin with, what is this sti'ange realm which we visit in our dreams? Professor Baer believes that it is actual, apd by no means purely in- aginary.' It is- net sv»n-an.,"undis covered country,” for we spend there no small part of our time limit. But where are we to suppose that it is located? Is it near or far away? Or are we to suppose that It Is simply an Invisible world, through which we ^unconsciously wander in our waking moments, thourgh unable to discern the people (viewless under waking conditions) who inhabit it? ' » Again, shall we, after we die, as suming in r permanent fashion the ghostly state, ourselves become in habitants of this mysterious country? And, if so, whaLJBrlll be our condl- 4igrn therain? Shall we be happy, o'* otherwise? In classical literature one finds again and again the idea, which the scientists seem to have persistently entertained that the souls of the departed suffer from a chronic melancholy. Thus the heroes of the Trojan war, as Ulysses found them when he ventured Into Hades, continually lamenting their lot, wish ing that they were alive agaiiL. But has-euch a notion any proper basis? Professor Baer’s belief is quite opj.

If they possessed such.pow- er, they would undoubtedly exercise , t; yet (putting aside all the phenom ena of so-caled "spiritualism” as hopelessly discredited) they give us rib.,opportunity of the kind, though we would so eagerly grasp It. Deep down in the^ human mind there exists a belief that the dead, generally, speaking, are hostile and dangerous to ths living. Hence the mistake to belleve#4hat the ghosts we meet in our wanderings through thgKcU>«iaj|k, ln the Beyond are pur- suin^Jnke the phantoms of Hector and Achilles which Odyssens met, an altogether aimless and vegetative ex istence. He thinks wtf-Tnay rather suppose that .they have 'occupations of one sort or another, useful in ways we know not of. If the wanderings of the ghost, in sleep are under any sort of control, it would be interesting to know by what they are directed. Nothing, seemingly, could be more haphazard. Scenes and incidents follow one an other in no orderly sequence, ap parently, and people come and go without any obvious rhyme or rea son. Many dreams, of course, are very pleasurable, while others are far from agreeable and sometimes even terrifying. But, as Professor Baer suggests, there ia no reason for supposing that In the region of the Hereafter—if his theory, identifying it with the country ws visit in our slumbers, be accepted—is a place de void of unpleasantnesses ’J'he ghost tha^ walks In dreams, according to hls idea, Is none other than the subconscious, or secondary, self—the strange “double" which In habits every one of us, doing much of our thinking for us, yet only In rare instances revealing itself in such fashlon„as to be distinguishable from the self we knqw and recognize. Con sidered from this point of view, the spectre of our nocturnal visions is extraordinarily interesting as a sub ject of study.
