Underwood of Kentucky, nt present tho superintendent mid secretary of tho Confederate Momoilnl Assochitlon, with hcadqtiaiters in Nashville, Tonn. As near as I can recollect, his statements were about as follows: When a boy in my teens, like most others of all iieiiods, dearly loved a circus; nnd, as my fathui ot licit tho "show lot" iu a Southern Keutuekj' town, his children always had tho coveted tickets whenever a circus or mo-nagorio visited tho place. After such visitations tho show fever was rampant with all tho boys, mid, upou one occasion, culminated in tho organization of a circus, with myfiulf ns ringmaster aud 'Jim' liurnam, now a distinguished lawyer and orator residing at Faycttoville, as clown, the other boys of our sot filling various positions. During ono of our momor-ablo performances in Mrs.

Duuavon's old blacksmith tbop, at Bowling Green, somo ouo informed mo that boys wero crawling in under tho wealhcrbonrding, which had bceu knocked off by tho billy goats In their attempt to find cover. Untitling to tho placn of disturbance I found sov-oral boys trying to work their way into tho 'show1 as stated, mid tho result of my interference was a desperate fight willi Fayette Grcou. which resulted in a drawn battle, for, after weariug ourselves out iu nn hour's oncounler, we ero separated and the show broko up for that day. As a result from such fistic oncounters noit her Green nor myself spoke thereafter. 1 wont to college, and ho was educated in tho schools at home, but during vacations the ono who saw tho other first ircnerullr i.wcit oniiiv opposito sido of tho street tho contest was too near equal to bo renewed.

Tho civil war of tho COs found Green an advoeato of tho Union, and I espoused (ho causa of tho South; and wo accordingly became attached to tho opposing forces so much as foundation for war story. "Passing to tho period when Gen-oral liuol was retreating from Tennessee to intercept General Bragg of Kentucky, tho summer of 18G2, I crossed tho Cumbeilaiid Mountain and went via Deschoid, oil the McMinnvillo road, to sco my sister, tho wlfo of Major A. M. Rutlcdgo of General Polk's staff, who was residing on their plantation, about ten miles from Defehcrd. "I unexpectedly discovered Federal troop at Dcschcrd, but at tho same tlmo ascertained tiiat Buel was retreating in considerable disorder; aud, consequently, hail liltlo difficulty iu avoiding his pickets in reaching tho McMinnvillo road.

After I struck tint road a inllo or mora tiom tho station I folt safo, and was riding along quietly, thluklng of my sister, her children aud tho 'old folks at homo' in I reckon I had traveled sotno thrco or four miles anil was where the road was inclosed by a high staked and ridcred rail fence; and, after I had got woll into tho as it were, what was my astonishment to sco approaching mo around a curvo in I lie road Federal wagon train, escorted by a detachment of United. States cavalry. "I immediately looked for chaiico ami of escape, but Uio fences being entirely too high to attempt It) jump either, it was not possible to roach tho foothills of the Cumberland range, aud "liiy alternatives wore to tint, and run or riicci the military detachment boldly. I had no sooner decided lo ndojit lio latter plan than I thought of the Kentuokf gray hunt, inff," shirt I wns wearing, at tho tlmo used in somo dogrodfcby and, having nu oltP black citizen's overcoat behind hand and without turning unbuckled tho straps tliitt pulling it' held tho coat, and inittonctl -il across my -i breast so that It hung loosely over loosely my shoulders, concoalliig jlio uniform and hid tho leather pistol, holstcis strapped to my waist, and at iho tamo time I held my hildlo hand over tho bright buckle of my Confederate belt, yiiou I got near enough to iccogulo tho'fnttuics of tho soldiers the replM tho bookkoepiui 'I he!

I Immediately felt tho possibility of being considered a spy.

I mot and never took my eyes off my supposed tnomy, buVwhon I rodo up along by him, although ho looked straight forward between tho care of ids liorso aud avoided open recognition, intuitively felt that ho know" mo; nnd, upou reaching Ills side, ho said iu an uudortono tho llrst words spoken to me for fifteen years: right, Ho was a Federal soldier, I a Confederate, aud ho knew it. I was a possible spy (though not ono), becauso I could not havo proved otherwise had I been arrested and tried by a drumhead court-martial, for when au enemy is on retreat there is no great deal of investigation made as to whether a suspected prisouer is a spy or not. Any way, fully realized my situation, and shall over regai my nou-idontification by my supposed peisoual enemy as a real act truest friendship iu life.

An effort will bo mado during tho approaching session of Congress to induce that body to enact what may bo called a home rulo law for Arizona-Under tho proposed law tho peoplo of that territory, without having nny other representation in Congress than thoy now possess, would, bo permitted to elect their governor aud other territorial officers. A bill for a law of this kind was introduced in behalf of Utah just before that state was admitted, and It probably would havo bceu passed if the enabling act not taken its place. Tho people of Arizona feel that while statehood may bo far in the futuro for them, tliey should bo permitted to govern themselves iu tho way proposed at that time for Utah, and which would give thorn many of the advaut- ages of statehood, vet without rep resentation in Congress other than that which they now have through their delcgato.

There seems to bo no ground what-over to object to such a law except on the pal of politicians whomay think thoy would havo a belter chanco of appointment bv the president th.au of election by tho Eastern peoplo surely cannot object. It does away wllli their chief ground of opposition to tho admission of new slates in tho Far West, which Is that admission would lucreaso tho sticngth of tho West, and particularly of the free coinage clement, in Congress. Ticro would bo no such lnerenso Iu this case There would bo no sfiuators and no representatives. Tho territory would havo no vole iu Concrcss. It couh not lutcrforo'iu matters of nation i.

For the benefit of thoso who are seeking information as to what is and what is not proper at table, it-may bo stated with considerable contidenco that the maxims herewith attached and made a part of the exhibit may followed as tigidly as circumstances will permit. Here they are: Don't cat solid food from a spoon. Uso your knife.

Don't pick your teeth with your fork. It injures tho silver plating. Don't drink out of the finger-bowl. You dou't know who washed his hands in it last. Don't be in too big a hurry to reach the desert.
