In 18C2 Toboy was a small black boy living in Holly Springs, which was then a Southern town unluckily placed in tho path of both armies, so that its war record toon became of tho most exciting nature. But none had an ox- Iiorionco to be mentioned in tho same ireath with Tobcy, who had a fortuuo in Iiis grap and never know it! J I is too outrageous for belief, but it is liter ally true, and this is how it happened: it was tho twenliotli of December "tho glorious, glorious twentieth,1' tho poopleof Ho'llv Springs call it to this day. Tobcy, whose other name was Kinklo, was awakened early in tho morning by tho sound of firing. "(Jit up, pappy'.'' lie called excitedly, "don't you hear do shootin'?" UnoloJim Kinklo, who was snoring comfortably in ono corner of tho cabin, under a great pile of dingy quilts and spreads, "was slow in coming to tho sur face. ".What's do matter, Tobo?" ho growled in sleep tones. " Fightiu's do matter," shoutcdToboy, hopping up and down. "Don't you hoar tic guns? Como out to do mound, an' wake up mammy, so she kin come, too." Ho was oil with those last words, and Uncle Jim, now fairly aroused, jumped up and jumped into his clothes in about the length of timo it was said to take the wife of "Billy boy" to make a cherry pie. Then ho dashed out, head in front, as a bull charges. Ho was soon with Toboy on tho top of an old mound, from which there was a good view. "Great gran' daddy!" cried Undo Jim, as lie looked. "Jerusalem crick ets! Fharioh an' all his hosts!" A vigorous light was going on; the sharp crack of rules ami occasional yells were borne distinctly to their ears. Suddenly a ringing cheer burst from a thousand throats; amounted squad toro like a whirlwind across tho licld, with another in hot pursuit. "Which is runnin1? Tobcy," cried Undo Jim. "My eyes is gittin.' olc. 1 can't tell tuddcr from which." "Hooray fur do Bagged Bobs!" shrieked his offspring. "Do Yanks is gittin' over de groan' like skoered rab bits. Whoojur! ain't disn sight?" By this time Aunt Betsey had ,wad dled to the mound. ''Is tie woiT comin' to an end?" slio asked, pulling between her words like an engine. "No, mammy," said Toboy, do worl' ain't comin' to an end; but de Teds is whipped out, sho's you bawn." "Look at yo' daddy, Tobo," said Aunt Betsey; "what in do Ian' is he doin'?" Sure enough, what7'sho doing? Ho had stoppeil behind a magnolia treo growing on top of tho mound and had turned his trousers wrong side out. See ing this a ray of comprehension lighted Aunt Betsey's faco. "Go 'long wid you, nigger! Nobody's gwino tor notice an olo ijiot liko you," she said, with such a laugh as made her shako like a bowl of calf-foot jolly. It must be explained that somo days back ono of tho soldiers had given Uncle Jim a pair of blue breeches, and lie had worn tlioiu proudly. But, liko tho Vicar of Bray, Mr. Kinklo hail no particular principles, and meant to keep on good terms with both sides. To-day tho hoys in gray had tho victory, and should ho stand confessed a partisan of the I'nion, betrayed by Ms breoehos.? Perish tho thought! Ho could not change thorn, however, for in Aunt Betsey's creed no man needed more than one pair at a time, and no sooner had her husband donnod the blues than she out down his old ones and put them on the growing Toboy Undo .Jim, however.' was a man for emergencies. A born turn coat, ho readily understood how to turn trousers as well, and when lie stopped from behind tho (roe it whs with snowy logs and a faco buautiug with rebel on thusiaMii. " I'm gwino to town," ho remarked. " Don't you go niiiii' whardo liylitiu' is," milil Aunt Hotwiy. "You'll gitkillod (tint thing you know." " 1 reckon du nghllu' Is Hbout or or, olo 'noumn. We liavw whipped out du Intruders on our alio liofo' win-up," wild Undo Jim, with dignity. -Willi, vou'll want mium bru.kft' b M yuu rli oJ." "No, ainillmr myiWuloualy. I up' I kin fit bflr In town iwh wImU fun iiuM tf.c nw." "Kin I go wid you, pappy?" nsked Tobo. "Yes, chile. I reckon you won't nov er learn no younger." Aunt Betsy, as is the lot of women, had to stay at home. Sho fried somo bacon and roasted an ash-cake, and nto her breakfast placidly. Then sho beat up her feather bed and milked tho cow and tied tho calf; aftor which sho wad dled again to the mound. Seeing noth ing, she leaned hor broad baok against the magnolia treo, shut hor oyes, and placidly went to sleep. Suddenly sho waked with a start. Tho atmosphere was heavy. In tho dis tance flames wcro mounting to tho sky. Then a terrible explosion that seemed to make tho very earth quiver throw her to tho ground. Others followed; the glass in her cabin windows broko into bits; a smell of sulphur tainted tho air. Now, Aunt Betsoy knew tho world was coming to an end! Falling on her knees, she prayed fervently that Toboy ami Jim and herself, anil "ole Mnrs' an olo ins' air no cnuicn air runrs' Abram Lincoln nn' JolV Davis an' all good Christians and miserable sinnors might bo brought inter do fold." Aud she was still pouring forth this all-om-braeing prayer, when night camo bring ing sou and husband homo. Their day had been very eventful. They had found tho town in an uproar. A certain wild young cavalry officer, with a name liko that of a novel hero Earlo Van Dorn had galloped into Holly Springs with his reckless brigade, before the soldiers in camp wore awake, to their utter confusion and overthrow. Not much blood had boon shed, but all tno Federals were captured, disarmed and released on parole. Holly Springs the pretty little town was out of its wits with joy. Handkerchiefs and tiny flags starred and barred waved from every wiirtlow. Houses were thrown open to chance guests in gray, and as few had time to enter, the gateways wcro crowded with children. Matrons and maids, laughing, weeping, shaking hands, asking a thousand uuestions, stopped only to regalo their friends with the delicacies most enjoyed by these sons of chivalry buttermilk and onions. Toward tho middlo of tho day tho foundry buildings and tho old school house were lired. Thcso held army stores that could not be taken away delicate eatables for the hospital, boxes of medicine, barrels of Hour, coffee, sugar, tea, whisky, brandy aud wine; so it was determined to destroy them, rather than leave them for tho benefit of the enemy. The people of Holly Springs had known by this time what it was to sutler actual want, and thoy could but feel a pan"; on seeing the lire lick up what would have been lifo-blood to so many. Tho black population found it too much to endure, and for once taking tho in itiative, they set an example, followed by all who had strength for tho venture, and so they hurried from all parts of the town with wheelbarrows, bags and baskets, and rushed as it seemed, into the very heart of the ihuues. They would come back laden with whatever came nearest to hand, and perhaps some angel of the Odd watched over them, for not a life was lost during their per ilous work. Tobcy and his father had their share in all the excitement. Uncle Jim skipped around in Ids white trousers liken patriot on an electric machine, and shouted, "Hooray for Van Dorn!" loud er than anybody;" and when the robbing or saving of the foundry stores began he was in his element, lie went halves with a man in town who owned a go cart, and together they worked like Trojans. Toboy soon escaped from his father's eye, spurred on by his own ambition. Ho knew that fire-arms were stored somewhere in the building, aud ho de termined to fit liimsel out in a way to strike terror to the heart of every other boy in the village. Ho ran up tho stairs, though the smoko curled about him and little daggers of llamo were striking with wavering nicuaco at tho steps. Running through a passage ho tried to dash into a room where lie fan cied lie should find what he sought, but tho door was locked. Daunted for an instant, ho looked about him wondering what to do. At this instant the thun derous explosion of the powder shook tho building with frightful violence. Toboy fell, stunned, deafened and frightened half to death. When ho picked himself up he saw that a win dow leading into tho locked room was shattered into fragments, and. with a snirit'wortliy of blue blood, ho jumped through. It was tho paymaster's room. Some ono had evidently left it in a hurry, somo one who had tried to save the money just received for pay-day, as tho ohests were open and their contents partly gone; some one who had re membered to lock the door as lie lied. Toboy was greatly disappointed. What a stupid thing to liud nothing but boxes filled with green pictures, and not n s'gn anywhere of pistol or bayonet. The little boy had never handled nnv money, never seen any. I might almost .say. Tho crisp, new bills looked prct- 1 ty, and with a sudden remembrani'e of hU mummy's foudes for pasting pict ures mi the cabin walls, Tobey thrust a handful Into each pocket and stufTud out the bosom of his tlauiiel ahirt with as many as it would hold. When positive ly driven nut by the heat, be bounded I down tlio stHlrs, tho I not liing lielng to luftvu tltH doomed structure, and worth luuoli mom thmi whim hu entered it. A night full.

"Never you mind, old 'ooman, tain't no fool head on dis niggor's shoulders." In fact, Mr. Kinklo's wits scemod preternatural!' sharpened; and tho ovont proved his wisdom. Tho next day Grant's army camo pouriiu; into Holly Springs, and men wore detailed to search ovory houso in town for stores that might ltavo been saved. It was done thoroughly; those who had gained troasurcs lost them as speedily, and woro warmly thanked by tho jolly sol diers of Undo Sam for their exertions iu tho causo of tho Govornmont. Thoy called on tho Kinklo family. Jim mot them at tho door, u clay pipo in his mouth, his trowsors bluo, his sen timents loyal. "Mo got anything, gon'lomonP" ho said, in a tone of groat surprise. " Why, lor' 1 1 was sick in bed with tho rheumatiz all day, an' wouldn't a-bcen able tor Imv' actod liko dem harom-scarom nig gers in town of I had a-wauted to.

This eloquence was not convincing, and tho soldiers mado a pretty good search. B-liey did not think of luoKiug uiojjr kiiu nouse, nor up inu trees, nor in tho rabbit holes. So Jim saved his prizes, and hold his head very high all thofre'gf of his life in conse quence At'1 Toboy said nothing about tho pretty groon pictures; he kept them for a rainy day as it were, when Aunt Betsey should bo cross.

On tho Monday following Toboy was hanging about tho smoking piio that had been t)p foundry building, when two officers rodo up and looked sadly on the ruins. "Thcro's no use lamenting," said ono of them at lasT; "lot us light our cigars and go." tf The otliorwlt in his pocket mechanic ally. 1 l.iavo' nty matches," ho said; havo you?" ' " No, but we can light them from tho fire so much good it can do us, at least! Here, boy! fetch mo a coal." Toboy nearcd tho smoking heap cau tiously. It did Hot seem possible to get a coal, but he could got tho gontlomen a light by twisting up one ot his green pictures for a spill. Ho had strong hopes of receiving a dime in return. Ho took out one of tho bills, twisted a long lighter and stuck it in tho lire. It blazed quickl, aud ho ran with it to tho officer, who took it, lighted his eagar, blew it out suddenly, and cried: "What the dickens is this?" " Look, Foster," as ho spread out tho remnant, "a greenback bill as I'm a Captain! Hero, you little scamp! how did you come by this? Havo you any more?" Oh! yes, sir!" said Toboy, iu all simplicity. Then ho told the story of how ha camo by them, the officers list ening liko statues of attention, When lie had finished they turned and stared at eacii other, pulling their mustaches very hard. Then tho Captain said, mild ly: " Como to tho camj) with mo and 1' 11 givo you some bettor pictures. These are all alike. You lnay just haniblhem over to me." Tobey relinquished the bills, not so crisp and fresh as thoy were, but worth quite as much, whilo liis captors grow almost speechless with astonishment as thoy saw tho value the notes represent ed. They were careful not to enlighten Tobey, however, as to tho value of his treasure trovo, and ho was sent oil" com pletely happy with a silver dollar and a pile of illustrated newspapers. Undo Sam got his own again, for tho officers wore honest and loyal gentlemen. As for Tobey ho never know that for two days ho had been rich enough to buy out Holly Springs, or to found an orphan asylum, or to run race horses, or fo own a yacht, or to start a daily paper.

Tho fact that Europeans still remain In Upper Kgypt would indicato that tho populations residing beyond tho limits of cities and larger towns, with their habitual warinen.' about going to war, havo not as yot taken any direct or ut least serious part iu tho outbreak. Tho action of tho Governor of Minioh, 1J1G miles up tho Nilo from Cairo, was a perfectly natural proeoodlng for thnt olllcial, when ho refused to permit any interference with tho administration of tho railways. Tho province of which Minioh is tho capital is agriculturally one of tho richest in Kgypt, and tho Governor considers hlmsolt an import ant factor in tho governmental ma chinery along tho Nilo. When travel ers stop there ho generally provides nn olaborato Turkish dinner, tho Inevitable chibooks and colleo, and gayly capari soned asses and donkeys on which to mount to visit tho points of interest ly ing beyond tho town. Then follows tho f'untisscr, with tho Egyptian dancing girls; tho ywhazce, which holds the par ty far beyond midnight to tho sound of revelry and tho rude native music. Few of tno largo towns nlong tho river have over had a heartier or more hospi table Mudir than Minioh. Tho town Is simply a mud city of some 16,000 souls, dwelling near tho bank of tho river in all of the squalor peculiar to tho Egypt ian habitations. In those settlements, and as such they aro further to southward, tho entire population men, women and children aro mado to work. The Mudir holds liis appointment from tho Khodivu or through the Minister of tho Interior, who manages tho entire local adminis tration. Tlio Mudir lias supremo chargo of the taxation iu his province, in fact, is King of tlio domains over which his jurisdiction extends. Ho must, how ever, lie careful to see that ovory inter mediate official between himself and tlio Khedive receive handsome presents, and neither must they bo insignificant iu point of value, usually consisting of a. handsome bag of British sovereigns with prollors of eternal gratitude. At least annually tho Mudir makes a visit to Cairo, and there ho is expectod to sig nalize ids advent in tlio capital by sub stantial testimonials to the Khedive. These generally take tho form not only of money, but also of tho handsomest Egyptian maidens whom ho can find iu tho province Nor is their social quali ty respected. There havo been in years gone by terrible reprisals on account of tlio ruthless desecration of tlio house hold. Among tho more spirited Bedou in Arabs, when their daughters and sis ters havo been seized for tho harem of the Mudir or tlio Khedive, tho schomo of blood rcvongo has been developed, and retribution lias followed until wliolo families have been swept away. It thus appears that tlio Mudir is but a slave of tlio ruling power in Cairo, making tho bettor Governor when ho can excel in pandering to his immediate superior tlio Minister, and then to the Khedive. Thus it is that when Arabi, now the supremo power at Cairo, calls on tho six Mudirs of llppor Egypt for 500 horses and (550 camels they will bo forthcoming or tlio Mudirs will ioso their positions. It is not always safe for a Governor of a province to reside among tlio people whom ho has plundered and oppressed. It also not unfroqucntly happens that the Governors aro nothing but common assassins, who aro called upon to exe cute the summary and secret vengeance of some Minister or favorite at court of whom they stand iu awe, A case that occurred Whilo the (.'''(correspondent was in tlio upper country is directly to the point. A Turkish olllcial of high rank ho was a Hey had long been a i favorite of the Khedive at Cairo, for thoy had been educated together iu France. This olllcial was, therefore, 11 great deal around tlio palace, aud it oc curred to the Khedive's mother that she would like to marry oil' a favorite child of the harem to a gallant ollicor in re ceipt of largo pay. The Boy was sum moned oy uie iviieuivi; aim 1010 unit 111s mother had found him a wife a won drous creature. Of course in tlio ISast such au intimation to a subordinate is simply a command; yet whilo tlio Boy submitted ho secretly chafedat what lie considered a gross imposition upon a friend, a Turkish aristocrat, and an olft cer accustomed to European liberties and customs. Tho marriage took place and was a grand fete, costing many thousand dollars. Of course the Bey had never looked upon her taco, until after the nuptial knot was tied, and when he did neither the countenance nor tho owner thereof was to liis liking. Two years wont I) and the Khedive's mother per ceived that the young wife was slowly pining away. At last persistent in quiry made tlio girl disdoso that from tho very hoqr of the ceremony tho Boy had declined to treat hor as his wife. The Khedive's mother a perfect tigress hastened to his Highness and do mauded that the Boy should bo put to death instantly. Ho" could not refuse. The Boy was immediately soizod, con veyed by a guard 1,800 miles to the Soudan, and uppon his arrival tho Gov ernor-General was ordered to strangle him: but the Govoruor-Guiioral hap pened to be the life-long friend of the condemned man and allowed him to lio.
