.While this colloquy was passing, Mosby was quietly examin-ing my papers, which had been taken from my pocket on myarrival; and presently, looking up with a peculiar gleam ofsatisfaction on his face, he said: Oh, Captain B ! inspector-general of s cavalry ? Good-morning, captain—glad to see you, sir ! Indeed, thereis but one man I would prefer to see this morning to your-self, and that is your commander. Were you present, sir,the other day, at the hanging of eight of my men as guerrillasat Front Koyal ? This question pierced me like a sword, as I really hadbeen present at the terrible scene he mentioned. Andalthough I had used my full influence, even to incurring thecharge of timidity, in attempting to save the lives of thewretched men, believing that retaliation would be the onlyresult, I could not show that fact, and doubted if it wouldavail me aught if I could. I therefore answered him firmly: I was present, sir, and, THa NEW YORKPUBLIC LIBRARY A8TO«. LtNOXTILDEN FOUNDATIONS 1M^

MY CAPTURE AND ESCAPE FROM MOSBY. 371 like you, have only to regret that it was not the commander,instead of his unfortunate men, This answer seemed to please Mosby, for he apparentlyexpected a denial. He assumed a grim smile, and directedLieutenant Whiting to search me. My gold hunting watchand chain, several rings, a set of shirt studs and buttons,some coins, a Masonic pin, and about three hundred dollarsin greenbacks, with some letters and pictures of the dearones at home, and a small pocket Bible, were taken, A board of officers was assembled to appraise their value,also that of ray clothing, and to determine the ownership ofeach of the articles—the rules of the gang requiring that allcaptures should be thus disposed of, or sold, and their valuedistributed proportionately among the captors. My boots were appraised at six hundred and fifty dollars,in Confederate money; my watch at three thousand; and theother articles in the same proportion, including my poor oldservant Wash, who

They consist, as Mr. Giulianoexplains, of as many plates as there are serpents: these plates werebossed out, and rows of grooves made in each of them; then the twobossed plates were joined together and the lines of grooves filled withglobular grains; after that a gold bead was soldered to each end; intothe bead at the one extremity was then soldered a globular piece ofgold, such as we see it on the thick end of the ear-ring No. 841, whereasa gold wire was soldered to the other side to form the ear-ring. Here,therefore, we see for the first time granular work. Very simple but highly curious are the gold ear-rings Nos. 705 and706, of which about a dozen were found. They are nearly in the form ofour modern shirt studs, and are 0*3 in. long. They are, however, not 696 697 loooooooQoooooooooooo) C~oooo coo OOP o oooooooooo)

Each half ofthese ear-rings consists of two small gold plates, of which the one has Chap.

Then the little tube was soldered into one of thelittle bowls, the pin was soldered into the other, and the ear-ring wasformed by merely putting the pin of the one half into the tube of theother. My friend Professor Wolfgang Helbig8 does not admit that jewelssuch as Nos. 694, 695, 698, 700, 701, 702, and 752 to 764 can have beenused as ear-r

There is also anappearance of transverse striation, which cannot be seen at all withan inferior objective, but becomes very decided with a good objectiveof medium focus; and this is found, when submitted to the test of ahigh power and good illumination, to depend upon the presence oftransverse thickenings or corrugations (fig. 72:!). probably on the in-ternal surface of one of the membranes.

These scales, which occur in themales of several genera of the family Lyccenidce, and present aconsiderable variety of shape,1 are marked by narrow longitudinalribbings, which at intervals seem to expand into rounded or ovalelevations that give to the scales a dotted appearance (fig. 725) ; atthe lower part of the scale, however, these dots are wanting.Dr. Anthony describes and figures them as elevated bodies, somewhat resembling dumb-bells or shirt-studs, ranged along the ribs,and standing out from the general surface.2 Other good observers,however, whilst recognising the stud-like bodies described by Dr.Anthony, regard them as not projecting from the external surfaceof the scale, but as interposed between its two lamella?;3 and thisview seems to the Author to be more conformable than Dr. Anthonysto general probability.
