'You Inn Keep That Young One, I
I llon'l Want Thnt: I sfnrrle!
Yon for Mplle."
Hannibal iMo.M'ourter.
Everybody around the Union Depot
this morning, from early in the day
until train time, noticed a young man
walking mournfully around, carrying
a bright and pretty little baby. After
watching the evidently despairing
man for some time, the reporter made
himself conspicuous to him" aa (all re
porters know how to do), and we had
not leaned long against that lain post un
til the party spoke to us, and asked
when the train went out to Kansas.
This opened a conversationjust
what we wanted during which the
man told us the following story. We
give it as he told it as near as possible.
My name is James Myers. About
twenty-one mouths ago I was married
to Miss Jennie McCullen. She was a
beautiful girl and I thought a great deal
of her and that she Joved me; but now
I find my mistake. After our marriage
I leased a farm near Suniuierville,
Pike county, Illinois, and moved on to
it and everything looked bright before
me. I worked hard hist season
and did well.
We lived happily together, and I can
prove that I alwaj-a provided most
bountifully lor my wife. Her father
and mother live I only about three miles
from the place, and used to frequently
-oine and see us. I always used them
well, and was very fond of my wife,
and did mv whole dutv to her. A lit
tle less thaii a year after our marriage
this little baby was born, and we were
both Heemi)lV glad to receive it I
know I was. I was everything that a
gixnl husband could be, and I was hap
pv. Now, although mv wife has left me,
w e had never up to the day she departed
had a hard word or feeling between us.
The separation occurred in this way,
and I was greatly surprised when it
came up: Al-out three w eeks ago after
I had done all my morning chores
aliout the house, I "ate my breakfast,
kisMod my wife and child and went out
plowing. After I had commenced
she called out and said:
"Jim. I have made up my mind to
leave you now, and want you to come
into the house and divide the things."
I then asked her the reason why she
was going to leave, and she answered
that she had just married me for spite,
ami " n iw I'm done with you." 1 told
her if she - .is in cannot and wanted to
leave me, she could take just w hat she
wanted, hhe says you can keep that
young one ; I doiVt want that ; and then
she weni'to work and picked up what
she wanted about the place.
I was very glad hhe did not want the
,babv, be use I did, and would have
"lifted to TdWe given it up. After she
had given me that, I was willing she
should take everything. She picked
out what she wanted, .nd then left, on
loot, for her father's and I have not seen
her since. She is a woman that I
thought a good ileal of. and douo my
Ix-al to use right. Ion't think there's
another man in the o ise, as 1 have not
had inanv male visitors at my house.
I don't know what she meant when she
said she married me fur spite. She has
fre:uwnlly, since leaving me, made the
same remark to my friends, and that
she never liked me anyhow. I've got
a sister in Fontaiia, Kansas, who w ill
take care of mv child, audi am going
there to live ; have given up all hofes
of ever seeing my wife again, and don't
care now ; as long as I can keep my
child she can go.
Then the train was made up, and the
eeiil'eiii..n stepped on loard with the
child and baggage. He was a young
man alout 22 years old, with a good,
honest countenance, ami from his ap
pearance w as a hard w orking son of the
soii. We expect that the unfaithful
w iie w ill some time regret her step.
Au Evening at St. JInrj "a.
Correspondence of the News.
Kaleioh, June IS. When we asked
our hotel proprietor last evening after a
creditable supper, where aud how we
might apend an evening in the "City of
the Oaks" most pleasantly, we were
told, "The most prominent feature for
enjoyment to-night, is, I suppose, the
coucert at St. Mary's. A concert! and
by young ladies too, that is exactly to
our liking; and so we went, guided by
a friend, who during the performance
asked uj so frequently for our opin
ion, that we told him at last we would
put it down in writing. Upon entering
the grounds we found them brilliantly
illuminated, Chinese lanterns, hung
among the stately oaks, gave quite a
charming ettect. Ushered into the con
cert hall we were reminded of an art
studio, and glancing further we per
ceived that it contained many treasures
of art. At 8:30 the hall waa well Idled
by an audience of refined appearance.
A programme being handed us we
glauced over it and saw yes, saw a
collection of authors and their works
that would do credit to a troupe of pro
fessional artists; ami we here confess
that, although we did not say so then,
w e were just a little incredulous of the
facta before our eyes. But listen! there
is the beginning of No. 1 on the pro
gramme, Chopin's "Scherzo in B
minor." It will tell its own story.
Hardly six measures are over aud we
are convinced that Miss Adele L.
Steiner will do herself credit; for any
one who plays Chopin, and does it
well, deserves credit. This beautiful
composition was w ell rendered and was
a tine introduction to the entertainment.
Number 2, a recitation by quite a
little lady, substituted for Miss Dever
eux's i she being detainei at home by
illness i was, received with much ap-
tilause. Our Inenuiy guine ueing iue
letter judge in literature, we asked his'
opinion, aud as he said "splendid," we
take it for granted it was so.
No. 3, a charming song by grand
Holiert Schumann, sung by Miss ihrie,
was rewarded by handsome applause.
No. 4, being a recitation is respect
fully referred to our friend who ex
pressed great ad mi rat, on of Miss
(.rimes' graceful elocution.
No. 5, von Weber's ever charming Pol
o n ise op. 21, was played with the fire
and spirit required for this master pro
duction. Miss Josie W. Myers, the lair
Interpreter, received from the audience
well merited applause.
No. 6, a recitation by Miss Bessie
Steiner was given with the aweet tones
that nething but a true appreciation of
the sentiment of the autborof "Kvange
line" could give.
No. 7, a concerto in 1 major, op. 4o,
bv Meudelssohn. This comjositioii
w'hich requires the technique of a master-artist
really produced in us a genu
ine surprise. It was as rendered a
most excellent true picture ao far the
gem of the evening. Miss Elira H.
Smede has a touch, knows how to
phrase and shade, and can surprise her
bearers after a brilliant staccato paa
g with a beautiful legato. She is a
pianist of great promise.
No. st. Beethoven's fourth symphony
in 11 minor was admirably ren
dered by Misaea Smedes, Myers,
DeRosset and Steiner with true spirit
and in excellent time.
No. 9. One of the Ingoldsby Legends,
by Miss Hattie Morgan, left nothing to
be desired. The young lady was
obliged to resj)ond to tho enthusias
tic applause of the audience by a se
cond appearance.
No. 10. A charming German ballad
bv Clara Schumann, was well sung by
Miss Bessie Steiner.
No. 11. A recitation by Miss Addie
Steiner was a charming contrast to the
succeeding one, being Tennyson's Sir
Galahad. It was one of the most diffi
cult selections on the programme and
was remarkably well rendered.
No. 12. Vocal andantino from Ro
berto il Diavolo, sung by Miss Alice J.
Leake. received a perfect ovation; being
obliged to give an encore Miss Leake
eung the Scotch soog, "The Blue Bells
of Scotland."
No. 13. The Parting of Arthur and
Guinevere.Miss Eliza H. Smedes, waa
simply exquisite, and enhanced the
attention of the large audience.
No. 14. Concerto by Weber, op. 79,
played by Miss DeRosset assisted by
Miss Addie Steiner on the second piano,
was played with brilliancy and finish.
The whole entertainment, both musi
cal and literary, was of the highest
order and reflects the greatest credit
upon Mr. Sanborn, the ahle and ener
getic director of music, and the lady in
charge of the elocution.
Pleasant are the memories we take
with us.
A Visitor.
Rights r Passena-era.
New York Tribune.
The late James Fisk being asked to
subscribe to the erection of a fence
around a cemetery, refused on the
ground that it was a useless expense to
wall in a graveyard; for, he irreverent
ly added, those that wrere out did not
w ish to get in, and those who were in
could not get out. Somewhat like this
is a principle of law lately formulated
by our Marine Court for the instruc
tion of rail way managers aud the en
couragement of travellers. It is to the
elfect that, in dealing with a person
who attempts to enter the trains con
trary to the rules of the company, they
may keep him out before he gets in,
but after he is in he cannot be put out.
The storv of the case is that a traveler
for the llarlem Railroad, having a com
mutation ticket, and therefore not need
ing to visit the ticket orhce, assumed
to go into the train at a gateway on
Forty-Second street, which stood open
and "was handier for him than to go
through the passengers' waiting-room,
butwas for the employees only. Nothing
but a placard opposed his entrance,
and he had fairly reached the steps of the
car when the watchman collared him
and pulled him back. He produced his
ticket, but this was not deemed satis
factory, lie was ejected with some
violence and made to go aroui.d and
enter through the passenger-room.
Now he lias recovered ?2(MJ damages.
The Court says that the company may
prevent, by" force, travelers from en
tering by a 'gateway that is forbidden to
tht in, but that a passenger who has en
tered without opposition cannot be
turned o;it lecau-j he entered through
the wrong door.
The Jersey City Ferry company sus
tained a similar judgment a few years
ago. It was when the rule was com
paratively new forbidding foot passen
gers to enter by the gateway for vehi
cles, and requiring them all to go
through the passage by the ticket office.
A passenger who did not know the
ruieandhada ticket entered through
tho cart-wav, no one hindering him,
and hail fairly reached the boat, when
the gatekeeper ran after him and drag
ged him Iwu-k. He showod his ticket,
but was put off the boat notw ithstand
ing and made to go around. He also

preme Couit said that if the jury had
awarded two or three times that amount
no fault would have been found.
There are a couple of "ladies' -car"
decisions which illustrate the same
rule. In one the lone bachelor crowd
ed past the brakeman who was guard
ing the entrance to tne lames car, ami
the brakeman dratrged him back and
put him oir. The Court held that t hat
was lawful; the company had the right
to appropriate a special car for ladies
and gentlemen with ladies, and to sta
tion a guard to exclude others, and the
guard might use such force as was
necessary to carry out the regulation.
In the second case there was no guard,
onlv a placard; the passenger entered
peaceably and unopposed; but when
the conductor came through antj de
tected the intruder, he had him put out.
The Court held this was going beyond
the law. After the passenger had been
allowed to enter and take his seat he
could not be expelled.

gentleman, forgetful of his infirmities,
threw himself in the way of the animal
to prevent his escape, an'd was knocked,

juries were occasioned by the violence
of the fall, the shock of whicii, ne oenig
as you know a large corpulent man,
was verv great. Dr. Jones, from whom

breakage about or immediately below
the hip probably the femur. So far
it has been impossible to make a thor

Correspondence of the News.
Near Qreessboko, Sane 17, 17.
To Jeduthun Jeemx:
My Dear Old Frieno: -For some
time I have been reading your commu
nications in the News on that useful
and beneficial "Department of Agri
culture" so-called. I can't forbear any
longer, I must call you to an account
for jourilliberality and want of agri
cultural pride in characterizing that
department and its most learned mili
tary leader, "the 'Colonel "and "honor
able Commissioner," a humbug. A
department organized for the benefit,
and run solely in the interest of the
toiling farmers of the State; the hon
orable chief head a regular "Colonel"
of Agriculture, a practical and expe
rienced farmer, with a model farm run
on an economical and scientific plan
with a profitable success pronounce
such a "Department" and
SUCH A "head" a humbug?
Shame upon you, my dear old friend.
Why! every farmer in the State is be
ing benefited by this useful depart
ment under the skillful management
of the Military Commissioner. Organ
ized and instituted for the express
benefit of the poor farmars, and especi
ally to encourage sheep husbandry,
you will see by referring to the Dis
bursement of the funds set apart for
the "Department" that the interest of
the "poor farmer" has been especially
attentive to a great deal done for the
ENCOUFIAOK.MKNT OF SHEEP Ht'SBAN
' : DRY.
In the first place you will notice how
considerate the officials of the "depart
ment" have been for the interest of the
farmer and how economical they have
been in distributing around the funds.
That the farmer might get the full ad
vantage of these funds, the most "Hon
orable" Commissioner denies himself
a good living aud only takes the small
sum of fcii.OOO.OO out of the farmers'
funds for his year's allowance; you
must acknowledge that this is very
kind and commendable, you certainly
would not complain of this very small
amouut being appropriated for the bare
subsistence of a "model scientific far
mer" for one whole year. Then the
Secretary and Treasurer only took
$1, '00 as his part for the first year
though uov increased to 1.500 from
THE IJEAK FABMERS FUND,
for rendering his most valuable servi
ces in writing down those most useful
and interesting statistics that go to
make up that most useful and invalua
ble "Hand Book of Historical and
l'hysioi a idiical Sketches" of our be
loved State. Then you well know that
a commissioner and secretary can't do
business in a scientific Military Agri
cultural way without a clerk, and at an
additional , appropriation Of ?25 per
month, since raised to $40 per month.
Now, me thinks I hear you say that
there is no use for this clerk, but I t ell
you the dear farmers don't want their
heads of Departments to do work; thoy
must superintend, travel around, and ,
OO TO THE SPRINGS, YOU KNOW. .
These summer resortaaxe great places
for the toiling farmers to meet and talk
over the business of state with their
most honorable chiefs. Then to save
the "Honorable" Commissioner and
Secretary from all drudgery, you
will readily assent to the employment
of au office boy, as this costs but the
very small sum of 144.00 per year.
Then again you must know that this
most useful department would not be
complete and run on a purely scientific
plan, without a chief chemist to exam
ine and look into all the dirts and ma
nures, and tell our dear farmers exaetly
how to raise corn and wheat on
A PURELY SCIENTIFIC PLAN,
and this said chief chemist is also very
considerate of the dear farmer's interest
and he makes himself contented with
biking only the very small sum of
$2,000.00 for his yearly subsistence. You
nor the dear farmer will not complain
at this very small appropriation; as our
chief chemist has so much to do and
only employed at first one assistant
chemist at a small salary of $320.00 per
year, since raised to $o00 per year, with
"a second assistant at $75 per month, and a
clerk to the assistants added at 30 per
month.
Now, my old friend I feel sorry for
vou, for I know you are already
ashamed of calling this most useful de
partment and its appendages a "hum
bug." Can you call
A DEPARTMENT A HUMBUG
that has appropriated only one-third of
the funds, intrusted to its care by the
dear farmers, to the use and benefit of
the officials of the Department? You
will notice by referring to the disburse
ment of the fund (you will not find
this disbursement set in the report
of the "honorable" commissioner,
but in the accompanying report), that
out of $15,435.8 intrusted to their
care for one year, these officials
appropriated, for their own use
and benefit, only the very small sum
of $5,139.00. Then you can't complain
that they
HAVE NOT BEEN ECONOMICAL.
Tho r Imx-e forirot self, and studied the
interest of the poor farmer. Then again
when our worthy and most honorable
commissioner nas so much brain work
to perform be must have brain food,
and vou certainly will not complain of
the outlay of $4,152.97 for raising some
fresh Shad and Salmon, to keep his
brain strong and vigorous so that he
mar be prepared to perform his most
useful work, and continue to advance
the interest of the dear farmer.
Then again if vou will refer to the
disbursement of the funds for two-thirds
of the second year, from April to De
cember, 1878, vou will again find that
our most honorable officials have exer
cised the same care and love for our dear
if'estedTn the first
vear, and -that they only appropriated
i'or their own use and benefit ?V.,i27.00
out of $,50.29 intrusted to their care;
but they are still excusable in making
this small appropriation for their own
use, as
THEV HAP OVERWORKED THEMSELVES
during the first year, and conseviently
needed more brain food, and had ex
pended some $2,000 to raise a few more
fresh shad and salmon. Now I ask you
in all sincerity, ought this most useful
department and its most honorable
commissioner, be pronounced a "hum
bug" when the dear farmers have in
trusted to his care $25,950.00 for their
sole use and benefit, he has appropri
ated to himself and subordinates onlv
the very small item of $9,56G.00, and
qxponded the balance in printing, pos-
RAISIXQ BRAIN FOOD,
incidentals; collecting marbles, wood
etc., etc, etc But you come with these
foolish questions: What has been ex
rinded for the use of the dear farmer,
!
and for the encouragement of sheep
husbandry?
My old friend you must net be so in
quisitive. Don't you know that every
thing must have a start and a good be
ginning? You know that our most wor
thy commissioner acted wisely and
prudently in not expending any thing
for the encouragement of sheep hus
bandry, until friend Amis' dog law g t
through and he considered brain food
more useful and profitable than
RAISING SHKEP FOR DOO FOOD.
Wait for friend Amis' dog law and
then our most Honorable Commission
er will show you what he will disburse
for the encouragement of sheep hus
bandry. The funds of the last two
years have been expended in getting
ready, and I now assure you and the
dear farmers, if the fertilizing compa
nies will pay liberally, you may look
for some astounding and interesting re
sults, so hope on and hope ever.
Do you know what has become of the
school bill; has it been signed and will
it be? Yeur communications are in
teresting, but you must not write so
plain and call our most useful "De
partment of Agriculture," ugly names.
