"I was up in the northern part f Maine the other day and heard a I ,ory w bieh was a little out of the rdinard line of civil war stories 1 ave res*? about," said a drummer hose territory is Now England. I nad noticed a funeral in the )\vn, the turnout of which ihdiited that the doccascn must havo prominent man in his life time. 'A citizen said in answer to my uiry that the man had retired om business several years before is d?ath. The citizen added: His funeral today is much larger rnn it would have lieen some years jo. I then heard the story. "When Lincoln called for troops icro were few men in the State of aine who opposed coercion of the )Uth. This man was an exception. "Although a New Englander om a colonial family whose hisry goes back to the colonial wars, lis man was, at the call for troops, hat was known in the North as a ipperhead. He was an otliccr in ic militia at the time of Lincoln's \>cla mation. "He not only refused to go, hut i bodily contended that it was an itrage to oppose the secession of ic southern states. He was osaei8ed socially and commercially, is business dwindled away. "During the second year of the ar lie left the community. Noxly seemed to care where he went. "Two years later he returned, c was a physical wreck. The feelg in the community was not quite i hitter as in the beginning of the ir. However, tho man was not u dially reeeiv< d. "lie had not been hack long he* it was learned that he had ;en in the Confederate army and as diseharged on account of his ability to do duty. This informion did net tend to increase his ipularity. 'He came into possession of conderable money soon after his rcim. Meanwhile some of the sliatred remnants of the Maine commies began to drift home. Most them were broken in health and lost of them were penniless. "This man began contibuting to ic relief of the needy. A majority ; the beneficiaries did not know ic source of their help. "After the war was over it-leaked it little by little, that the benefic>r was the man who had l>ccn 03aciscd. To the credit of many, L' was again admitted to fellowship id his business began to thrive, e became independent. "A few years later he was elected i otlicc 011 the republican ticket, he nomination eame to liim un ught. Up to that time he had :vcr affiliated with the party that ectod him. "He served his term of office, it whenever there was a township county election he voted the miocratic ticket. This was underood to be bis right. It was never icstioncd. "Before lie retired from business i was 011 one oceassion visited by a an from the South who had been ic colonel of the Confederate rogicnt of which he was a member. I10 ex-Confederate was down at ic heel in every way. "No one knew what happened iring his visit in Maine, but a few ars ago it became known to a few ople in the vicinity that the Maine an helped his old commander to coup his fortune. That man un1 11)01, was a successful broker id banker in this dity, and his sint partner for nearly fifteen years as the Maine Yankee who as a imocrat held a republican ollice. "1 have traveled all over the nitcd States, and met all sorts of ;ople, but I have never heard a vil war story that was anything ite!this. My informant is at tie wl of a big industry in Maine; he Id me that only a few persons lew the facts as I have stated leni."?Washington Star. Marriage of Miss Mattie Wilburn.
