C, TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1878. NO. 67. THIRD IQBTH CA101UU TROOPS IIw they ronsrto and Fell at retty toury Fint and Second days of Ute rent Battle. From tne Wilmington Review. As a member of Steuart 8 Brigade, and on of tbe Third North Carolina also who Cuticipated in the events described by icutenant McKim, including the final' charge of Steuart's Brigade, we presume it will not be deemed immodest, inasmuch as this is a matter that is .becoming history, if the writer of this article puts on record his recollections of the part borne by the command on these two eventful days, which were so pregnant with good or evil for this whole country. After the com mand hud been started forward on tbe evening of tbe 2nd of July and emerged from the woods, described by Lieutenant McKim, into the corn-field, and while tbe enemy were enfilading our ranks with grape and canister. Major General Ed. Johnson, gallant soul and noble old hero that be was, rode up behind the line and gesticulating with his old hickory stick, (t he only weapon he ever carried) ordered the brigade to right half wheel. The command was immediately obeyed, Stuart's Brigade wheeling on the Louisiana brigade on the right as the pivot. ' This changed our position completely, and what was for merly our flank was now our front, in oth er words, tbe line was exactly at right andes to what it had been before, and without further orders the command then plunged into Rock Creek and up the rug ged acclivity and gained the summit of the position (which Lieutenant McKim states was only accomplished after dark) by sev en o'clock at the latest. Tbe enemy were driven out of the breastworks they occupied, when they fell back to a stronger and more elevated position, from which they could command even our position on the hill; and from that hour until after ten o'clock, at only a distance of about seventy-five yards, there was one constant incessant firing. We could see nothing in our front but one sheet of flame from the enemy's muskets. Our men seemed to fall like leaves from the trees when blown by an autumn wind, and still no succor came. Our ammuni tion was exhausted and we had to replen ish from tbe cartridge boxes of the dead and wounded. Major W. M. Parsley sent repeatedly for reinforcements and ammunition before be received either, and when the reinforce merits did arrive, the first thing they did was to pour a volley of Minnie balls right into our line from tbe rear, killing and wounding some of our best men. Tbe regular firing ceased shortly after "10 o'clock, but there was still some little desultory firing going on antil 11 o'clock. Such was the proximity dt the two lines, that in removing our wounded that night, if a dry stick was stepped upon and cracked, the enemy would empty a voliey into our line to let us know that they were still awake. Tom 4 o'clock the next morning until about nine or ten. the same f arious attack was kept up ; finally Daniel's Brigade came up about the latter named hour and relieved us, when our brigade was ordered to move by the left and fotm line on the other side of the works, which we hid captured the night before, and at right angles with the line which we bad previ ously held, and then occupied by General Daniel. After getting in!o position General Steuart walked up to the Third Worth . Carol'na and requested an officer of that regiment to go and see General Daniel and ask him if be was ready for him (Steuart) to 'make the charge. The officer had no sooner leaped the breast works and disappeared on the other side, than General Steuart sent another officer from the same regi " ment upon the same mission. General Daniel was fonnd and went to General Steuart himself. Both of these general officers then took out their watches and compared time. General D. said : "Give me fifteen minutes to make my men cease firing.'" General S. agreed. At the end of fifteen minutes Gen. Steuart sent Lieutenant McKim to General Daniel to know if he was ready. Lieutenant McK. came back wi;h this reply: "General Daniel says he is ready. Why don't you charge ?; Gen eral Steuart then walked up to Major Parsley and said: "Major, would you fix bayonets ?" Parsley's reply was char net eristic of the nian. and in a firm and decided manner he said : " Yes, sir, would:" and then it was that General Steuart gave the command " Fix bayo nets !" Shortly afterward . he drew his sabre and in a stentorian voice gave the command " Forward, guide centre J The Third North Carolina had twenty men, officers and all, in the line when this charge commenced, we naa not proceea ed far when tbe last man of tne color fniard was shot, but the colors were not allowed to droop for an instant A gallant Lieutenant of Company H seized the flag and carried it throughout the entire charge. (This is the same tattered banner that tbe Association of Officers of the Third carry now on every Memorial Day.) lieutenant McKim says there were only eight men of the Third on tne right : men we must toei twelve men in the charge. ; There was detachment of one officer and nine men, besides these twenty men and officers in the charge, left in front of Daniel's Bri gade, where they bad been posted the night before to fill a gap of one hundred and fifty yards that had been made by tbe depletion fn our ranks. The Third ijortti Carolina entered the battle on the ?d day of July with three hundred muskets and twelve or thirteen officers ; they lost no prisoners and they bad no stragglers. They came out of the battle with leu than twenty-five men, officers and all. The wonder is that any lived through that field of carnage and blood to tell the tale. Tbe last charge that Steuart's brigade was ordered to make with their depleted ranks, thinned as they were by eleven hours of bard fighting, while Daniel's triT5un fresh and strong.- were held in reserve, seemed cruel and murderous, ' It is proper to state here in conclusion, i that one or two of the survivors who par--J ticioated in the events above described. have been consulted in regard to the above statement, and thev azree that it is sub stantially correct.

Its great success must be gratifying to every citizen in the State, evincing an interest in the institu tion which .must very rapidly and surely restore its former prosperity and extend more widely its influence. For a century the University has been the most conspic uous centre of learning in the State, and its sons have long controlled thedestiries of North Carolina, and added greatly to the moral and intellectual grandeur of. most of the other Southern States. 'Its re organization and rapid progress are there fore something more than a matter of State pride, for its usefulness has not been confined to State lines. Nothing demonstrates more , clearly the great interest, the abiding love, the earnest pride of our people in their great Uni versity, than to witness the success of these Commencement reunions of her sons and friends. Tbe summer heat and-dust, rough roads, crowded conveyances, over flowing hotels and boarding houses, do not deter visitors of all ages and sexes, of every porion of the State, from making their annual pilgrimage, and placing their grateful offerings on its shrine. The exercises of the college and the societies are presid ed over and conducted by the foremost men of the State in every walk of life ; in its groves and halls are collected brave men and beautiful women from the most exalted circles of social life iu the State and South ; ita students are the represen tatives of the moral worth of the common wealth ; and its Faculty embraces men of the highest scholarly attainments and christian characters. Everything com bines to endear this great institution to our people, and they do love it, and will foster and cherish it in their heart of hearts. Tbe progress of the University has been onward and upward from the very day when the present, chief and I1 is learned associates of the Faculty took charge of its destinies. Not only has the number of its students steadily increased, but the grade of scholarship has advanced. Tb habits of the young men, as if influenced" by the character and history of the insti tution, are most exemplary, and its dis cipline is all that could be desired. Thus panoplied and fortified in the affections of the people, the future of the University is assured. What it has done for North Caro lina in the past, it will do for North Caro lina in the future. Already the genial in fluence of its benignant rays is being fell throughout the State. God grant that its : usefulness and; beneficence will shed last ing good ami honor upon North Carolina. be impeached. They who committed tho frauds in his interest and to his profit have claimed and received their reward from him as President. Nobody at the South has any thought of revolution, and j if Mr. Hatk8 is tried and convicted in due course of law not a ripple of distur bance will occur either at the North or the South.- ' In' a far different spirit from that of Gen. Gordon, writes an eminent Southern soldier and statesman : "The Potter in vestigation is doing well the first fire a great success the general result will ben- fit 4he country and our party. Let us push the investigation to the very bottom. The country will give us the victory in 1880." We sain a Senator in Oregon by the re sult of the late election. A Democrat will succeed Jno. II. MrTOHXix,lhe present Radical Senator: The New; York'TYwiw ; explains this piece ' of unexpected Demo cratic good luck. Mitchell's friends, it says, were rather more intent on nomina ting candidates for the Legislature : who would vote for Mitchell than candidates j who would bring out the full Republican rote of their districts. Asa natuial con sequence, a Legislature with a Democratic majority has been elected. The silver lunacy has reached Ger many. The hard times there have devel oped a silver party that maintains that the pecuniary distress existing in that country is due' to the demonetization of silver. The Deutsche Zeiiung, the organ of this party, urges the government to send a representative to tbe International Coin age Congress, . and to restore the double standard. Here BsRSia, the greatest locomotive manufacturer in Europe, died in Berlin the other day, worth $15,000,000. He employed 10,000 J hands. His father be gan work on a small borrowed capital.

I am clearly of the opinion', after a cartful survey of thfe field, that a maiorifv of the Senate is for reducing the tobacco tax to 16 cents, and tnis is the opinion of Senator Ransom and others who have taken great pains to as certain. Messrs.

The situation at Washington is little changed since tbe summary given in Tb k Obschver a few days ago. The tes timony of LxTisBX, a Radical Elector in 1876. establishes the fact that the re turns from Louisiana acted upon by the Electoral Commission were irregular and informal, and that if tbe count bad pro ceeded in the usual manner the electoral vote cf that State must have been thrown out. He pronounces his signature to the returns upon which the count was made a forgery. He swore be was in Sbreveport when the second set of returns were man ufactured in New Orleans. His testimony convicts the Republican Secretary of State of ' Louisiana at that time of forgery. The question of the right to tbe office of President of the United States was there fore decided upon forged papers, and tbe judgment rendered rests upen forgery. This is the most serious aspect this fearful fraud has ever assumed. Governor Kel logg, now United States Senator, is a party certifying to these forged certificates as one of the electors. With regard to this investigation we do not think that some of our "great men" from the South are adding to the consideration in which they have been held by their countrymen. Among them the distinguished. Georgian, Gen. GobBon, who Indeed has rather declined in public esteem since he became, or is said to have become, the President's "own familiar friend," Gen- Gordon, has lately been in terviewed by a correspondent of tbe Bos ton Transcript, and what be is reported to have said, and the spirit of it, jars upon us. ne is tnus reported in the Transcript: "Your correspondent, in conversation with Senator Gordon yesterday in re gard to the Potter investigation, elicited from him the following views: He be lieved the investigation ought not to have been begun.

Editors: Tuesday evening we were visited by a good shower of rain. which has cooled the air, laid tho dust, and been of great benefit to the growing crp. iWednesday morning, bright and e.u-Iy, our town was enlivened by the thrilling music of the Concord Cornet Band, as it passed through the streets in their beau tiful wagon, followed by about four hun dred children, teachers ana parents, wena mg their way to a shady grove about, a mile from town, to enjoy a uuion picnic of the Presbyterian. Lutheran and Met ho dist congregations. It was a gala day, long to be remembered by the little folk of the town. Everything passed off agreeably. and all seemed to enjoy -themselves and the music, as tuoee rnly can, who are penned up in a city or town twelve months in one year.

More work ahead for grand Juries. " A case came up to-day for trial before two magistrates, too revolting to be alluded to in print. A white woman, aged about sixty, and a negro man concerned.

'I Coon Landing, j Halifax Co.. N. C. June 3. 1872. f Messrs. Editors : I find in The Ob skrvkr that many able men in different parts of the State are advocating tbe "no fence' law. We ask for information, who can be benefitted by such a law ?We can't see. except it be those wno are en tire! v destitute of all kinds of stock. But the advocates of the law say it will be the means of more and better stock, and that is just what tbe farmers need. . But we wish to know what the poor fanner will do who now owns a little farm of one hun dred acres highland, and ten to fifteen head of cattle, as many hogs, and forty head of sheep. He has forty acres of his land in cultivation, and .balance, sixty acres, in original forest, and there is not a 'stream of running water on his premises ; he has no one to work except himself. Now how can he be benefitted by the no fence law ? We think it would take more fence to keep up the stock than it would take to fence the . farm. And, besides, there are hundreds of people who now own stock that would have to get clear ot all they have under the no fence law. I think a heavy dog tax would be a blessing to the State. Let every doe be taxed not less than two dollars per head, and our caipet bag sheriffs will be a little easier and better paid. L. , e The IflclbOiliMiit. Correspondence ot ths Obskrvxr.

Editors: If the history of North Carolina is yet to be written, tbe Legislature, by recording the names of her sons or ber counties and towns, has en deavored to perpetuate the memory of those who have done her faithful service on the battle field, in the halls of legisla tion and on the bench, and whose history, wnen, written, is tne recora or tne mater amongst these appears the name of John Stokes, whose bravery in battle, benevo lence of character and elevated mind, en deared him to the affections of his coun trymen, and for whose honor Stokes county was named. His example is left us to follow his acts of honor aud patriotism. Many prominent mjn bave gone forth of stokes county, whose names and services still remain in perpetual memory on the pages of . tke minds of some of our people, amon whom are Hon. Joseph Winston.

The larger portion of these men still live to do valiant service in developing tbe resources of the county,' and are worthy a residence anywhere. j Dr. Joan r f Per, one of the oldest citi zens of tbe county, has nearly reached bis four score and ten; be practiced medicine fifty-five years, giving it up some ten or twelve years ago, on account of his ad vanced age. He has been connected witk the press for five years, and is engaged, with his two sons, in mercantile and agri cultural pursuits. Jacob Smith is 99 years old, the oldest white man in the county. t . There are many reminiscences of some of these men that are somewhat ludicrous. I will mention one or two. Col. John Martin had frequent contests with Gotlieb Shober, Esq. Shober had the industry and tenacity of the German; Martin tbe energy and humor of the cavalier. Suo- ber was a lawyer, and took much satisfac tion in managing cases in court adverse to Col. Martin in which he sometimes came off second best. On one occasion he had a writ served on Martin as he was on his way to Raleigh. Martin wrote to a friend to aitend -the County Court, which would occur in his absence and enter his plea to ins suit. It was an action of deceit in a horse swap. The plea he ordered to be entered was: "I deny the fact." At Court, when Shober saw the plea, he said nothing, knowing the plea was wrong, and he was confident of victory on the trial of the issue at the next Court. The court came, and Martin appeared, aiding his lawyer to defend the wrong. Bis counsel then moved to amend the plea, but bhober objected. Man in then proposed that lie would go to trial on this ssue. and no ot her counsel but be and Shober would appear. Like tbe gallant Douglas in the famed battle of Chevy Chase, " Lets yon and I this battle try, And at our iiieu ankle. Accursed txs Jie, th I'crcj sai l, By whom this is denied." They went into the trial and the facts being with Martin, in his defence from wa peculiar manner and severe irony he com pletely demolished shober, gained bis cause, convulsing the court, . oar ana jury with his inimitable humor. Thus settling in tne annals or jurisprudence oi btoKes that the plea of non tut factum is a proper plea to action of deceit, and means that it is not a fact. A witty anecdote is told of John F. Poindexter, Esq., late Solicitor General, and Hon. A. H. Shepperd. When Mr. Shepperd married he was rather of an un certain age. On introducing his young and blooming bride . to all his friends Mrs. S. said, " 1 am glad to see an old mend of Mr. Shepperd's, for now I shall know what he never will tell his exact age." Mr. Poindexter was in a dilemma, but be came off victorious. " Madam," said he, " I am sure you should believe him. for he has told me the self same tale for these twenty years." Stokes county geograpoically and topo graphically speaking is very much edge wise, or it looks so at least, to a sand-fid dler. Much of the soil though is splendid, and produces corn, tobacco, wheat, oats and rye, finely. By the present mode of culture it is soon worn out and becomes worthless. The people need to plant grasses when they will find that their lands will not wash away so badly, but wilt be much im proved also. ' , There is probably more unclaimed land in Stokes than any county in the SUte, considering the number of inhabitants and area of square miles.', To ; develop this country there must . be railroading, and I was pleased to learn that the subject is be ing agitated. I would like to mention much that the general reader would be in Pilot,' King's Mountain, Grandfather Grandmother, Mount Mitchell, and various other peaks ot the Blue Ridge and Brushy Mountains, all of which affords to lovers of nature the richest scenes imaginable.

I visited this great summer resort for in valids and pleasure seekers, located near the base of the Sauratown Mountains, about two miles from Danbury. .To de scribe these springs and the scenery fully and correctly, would require the pen of an artist, and when written, would require a paper as large as the Weekly Observer to contain it; therefore a short notice from me must suffice for the present. THE HOTEL. This splendid main building is 180 feet long, four stories high, including basement, with large balcony on top. There are 450 feet of . promenade porches, elegant parlors, commodious ball room, ten- pin alley, bath rooms, &c. in fact everything for the comfort and amusement of invalids and pleasure seekers. The capacity is 300 guests. Captain Smith, of tne v. . uoast crarvey, wno toon tne alti tude' of the mountains last summer, re ports tbe lower floor of the hotel as being 1,345 feet above tbe level of the sea. , !

Moore's Knob, 1.8(H) feet above the hold, looms up grandly amongst the clouils, while stand ing a short distance to the south of, it is Hanging Rock ; these, . with their detp gorges and lofiy. boulders, form tbe prin cipal spurs of the Sauratown range. To the right, and north, about forty miles away, the Blue Ridge risss up in ii ita majesty, sending still higher Buffalo and other knobs. '-leaving the hotel a ride 'of one hour and a quarter will take you to .

Looking to the east, the Peaks of Otter 'are plainly visi ble with the naked eye j . then turning to the west,; the eye: first "rests upon the - CASCADE. . . For about one-fourth of a mile above the falls the . water of Cascade Creek goes singing over the large boulders and through the gorges, gathering force and velocity as it is hurried , on to the Cascade, which is something near one hundred feetj .tumbling, over, this fall. it comes to a rust in a beautiful ed.lv about 70 feet sauare. in a solid trranito 'basin, forming one of the prettiest places to oatne i ever saw ; overhanging this basin are granite walls one hundred and fifty feet high. ;-.;..,, , THE WATER of the springs is Chalybeate, and is pro nounced to be unequalled in strength and curative powers by any in North Carolina - TTi ' T.

A.' Carter, who, for two years, was resident physician, says: "I can cheerfully and conscientiously recom mend this water to patients afflicted with tbe diseases above mentioned." Four feet from where this mineral water flows out of the granite rock, flows also a stream of as nice free-stone water as was ever tasted, so that a man can, with a dip per in each hand, dip up Chalybeate and free-Btone water at the same time. THE WHITE SrLPFTTTR SPRINGS, of Stokes, have not yet been much talked about. They belong'to J. W. Eaton, Esq., and are situated eight miles south of Dan- bury, near tbe road leading to Winston, at the bead of Town Fork Creek. It bas not long been discovered, but by those who bave examined tbe water it is said it is so strongly impregnated with sulphur that it is almost blue. The owner, Mr. J. W. Eaton, is, I learn, anxious to sell or lease this spring to some party, or parties, as he is 'pecuniarily unable to make the neces sary preparation for the comfort of guests. 1 have .written the notices oi these Springs, not to advertise them for the benefit of the owners, hut to let our peo ple know that North Carolina contains mineral springs whose waters possess as wonderful curative powers as any other, and to induce them to patronize home in dustries and help, by their influence, money and patronage, to build up and develop our own resources.

Passing this town on Sunday, I was somewhat amused at the large number of Fifteenth Amend ments who were piaying marblesbut I started to write up Danbury. This place, topographically speaking, is indescribable, almost. I have tried to think of som -thing it was like, and the nearest I can come to it is a warped plank.

Editors : An election was held yesterday at this place upon tbe question of prohibiting the sale ot liquors in this township, and resulted in tne deteat of tue prohibitionists by a majority of 47, the vote being 4 lor prohibition and ill for license, only about one-half of the voters in the township feeling sufficient interest in the matter to go to the polls. The ne groes had organized a temperance society here some time ago, and it was supposed that the cause of prohibition would pre vail, as a majority of the white' people would vote for it, but the temperance so ciety cast only thirteen votes. 1 he "col ored troops fought nobly," but the trouble was there were too few of them. The recent change of schedule in the running of trains on the R. & A. A. L. R. R. is very satisfactory to our citizens, and doubtless is to all living on the line of that road. Communication with Raleigh is thereby made so much more convenient. as persons having business there can now arrive there at 8:45 a. m. and leave at 5:30 p. m., thus having nearly all day to attend to their business. Communication with Wilmington, also, is made more convenient. Tbe only objection to this schedule (and a very serious one to the many readers of The Observer) is that the Raleigh papers are so long in reaching their subscribers living along the route of the road. Here tofore we received these papers on the morning of their issue, but now not until the next day. and, indeed, at this place we receive by the same mail the Wilmington Review, published at 5 p. m., about 17U miles distant, and The Observer, pub lished at 3 a. m. of the same day, and only 30 miles distant. The proposed tax of $500 on "drum mers " now being discussed in the news papers, is opposed by tbe merchants of this place, and no doubt by all tbe mer chants living in our small towns, who find these drummers a very convenient means of communicating with wholesale houses. 1 he business of our ancient "borough" is evidently improving, if we may judge from the large store now being completed by one of our enterprising merchants, aad which will compare favorably with your large city stores, being 110 feet in length, On the 24th ultimo we were visited by the heaviest fall of bail Known in more than twenty-five years. Many of the stones were nearly as large as a guinea hen s egg, and fell with great force. Not as much damage was done to the fruit and grain as might bave been expected, though many farmers suffered heavily. Oar wheat har vest has begun and is better than was ex pected last month, although the crop will be nothing like so good as last year. Quite a large delegation from this county will attend the State Convention on the 13th inst., and will have no "axe to grind, but will vote fr the nomination of such gentlemen as they may deem beet fitted to serve the State, without regard to the sec tion where they live. Because a lawyer may happen to live in the western or east ern or central part of the State, should not be tbe main argumcut tu secure ms nomi nation to the bupreme Court bench. Hal.

Editors: The Democratic party, for which we have labored for so many years, can ill DrooK the disgracerui scenes that are now transpiring, ine whole State seems to be fermenting oyer the coming Senatorial contest, Every paper is filled with bitter flings on one side or the other, and the people appear to have lost sight entirely of party principles, abandoned all idea of unity, and made a personal issue between two men. Will the honest yeomanry of the country stand quietly by and see the Democratic party crushed in an attempt to gratify the am bition 01 any one man t win tne princi ples of the party be . sacrificed upon the altar of personal spleen and prejudice ? Are we laboring for men or for principles ? If for men, let it now be understood. If for men, the great masses of the people of North Carolina have been sadly misled. We have been fighting for principles, re garding men only as the mstruments to carry out the principles of the party. If tbe State is to be surrendered up into tne hands of any one man or set of men, let it now be understood. You will soon find a disposition on the part of the people to lookout for their own interests, ine gentlemen so far honored by the State have been in every instance liberally com pensated, and I think tbe btate owes a debt of gratitude to none. Ail nave re ceived value, and now the eyes of the people are being opened to the motives that actuate men. it nas not oeen ironr patriotic motives, but from a desire of office that our great men have been striv ing, and it seems to me. with a view simply of dividing tue spoils: how de grading it is when we behold a great party drifting to wreck because two or three or its great leaders cannot at the same time acauire the same office.. The people will no longer submit to this, and they are now beginning to think for themselves, k hey now with amaze ment see that the only question is as to who shall fill an office, and they further see that one or two of their party leaders will risk everything to succeed. .North Carolina has many able gentlemen fully capable of filling the position of Senator, and the sentiment of a great number of the people is to throw overboard the pres ent contestants and take up some other man. Gov. Vance holds the position of Governor for two years and a half longer; let him serve out his term, senator juerri mon has had the office of Senator for six years. Though ably he has filled it, the voice 01 the people is, rainer man nave discord, to throw him over and take up some other man. Where arc Gen. Scales, Judge Fowle, George Davis and a host of other able men? The people of this county are getting tired of the controversy and are resolving to go for a third man. Scales is universally popular here, and this county will go for him. You remember he came within two or three votes of getting the nomination in 1872, and was cheated out oi it by the caucus in order that another man might get tbe position. We have not forgotten this bad treatment of General Scales, and will see next winter that he gets his dues. Alamance. . , A Deceived Wife. j .' ' '; From the New York Times. , - : A very curious incident has happened in Tuscarora a town situated in one of the Western States, though it is not necessary to specify which. There was a young lady who last Fall married Mr. Orlando Valen tine, and thereby filled all the other Tusca rora young ladies with envy. - Mr. Valen tine was not supposed, tope' rich, but he was thought to be extremely handsome. In fact', prior to his marriage it was frequent ly remarked of him by the unmarried la dies of Tuscarora that he was just too nice for anything. Last week the parents of Mrs. alentine were astonished ' by the re turn of their daughter to the parental roof and her announcement that Mr. Valentine, who had suddenly . disappeared, was a wretch of the deepest aniline dye.' Furth er inquiry as to the precise nature of Mr. Valentine's iniquity disclosed the startling fact that instead of being a nice young man, he was a wicked, deceitful,' horrid . woman, who had committed some terrible crime in Colorado, and had worn feminine garments and : married a wife in order to successfully conceal her identity. ine deceived wires story was an Inter esting and pathetic one. She had been ' married a long time before she discovered the true character of her alleged husband, but, her suspicions that all . was not right, and that there was a mystery connected with the- pretended Mr. Valentine, were early awakened.; She noticed that as the ' honeymoon waned Mr. Valentine contin- : ued to treat her with unvarying politeness and affection. She was a young woman, but she was, nevertheless,intelligent enough to know that this was unusual.- Her hus band found no fault with the length of time that she required in order to dress herself for church or for an afternoon's drive, and never once remarked that he wished she would not be all day in getting herself ready. He always packed her trunk for her, and the way in which he folded her dresses and avoided packing boots and ink bottles in the immediate neighborhood of collars and laces was so unlike the average husband that she could not avoid feeling that there was something radically wrong about the supposed man. When the pair returned from their wedding trip, and be gan to keep, house together, things con stantly occurred which startled and alarm ed the bride. She found that Mr. Valen tine never left his clothes at night lying on the floor, but carefully folded them, and while he invariably hung his coat on the gas fixture, he as invariably hung his stockings on the back of the chair. Mrs. Valentine had friends who were married, and she knew perfectly well that a married man always throws his coat oa the seat of a chair, and tosses his stockings carelessly on the floor. It is not strange that she began to doubt her husband's sanity, and to ask herself whether it was safe for her to live with a ' man of such ominously neat habits. To see him brushing his hair before putting out the gas sent a cold chill through her. As she afterward remarked, no woman could have seen Mr. Valentine holding the comb in his mouth, and holding the hair on the back of his head with one hand while he brushed it with the other, without hav ing. her blood run cold. During the eight months of her married life, Mrs. Valentine was never once told by her husband that the breakfast was not fit , to eat, or that she might have sense enough to get him something decent for j dinner. Oa the contrary, whenever she asked him if his breakfast or dinner was satisfactory to him, he always replied that he was sure it was very nice indeed; thank j you. No matter how hard and faithfully j she tried, she couianoi miw Him, aicniuu bed with his home. He submitted to the ; weekly recurrence of washing day as though he regarded it as a necessary evil, instead of a deliberate and unprovoked outrage upon the male sex. He never accused her of hiding his clothing and other things, and' always seemed to Know instinctively the use of closets and to comprehend that when several garments were hung on the same ' hook, each and every one cannot be nungj on the outside of the others. When a button was missing from one of his shirts, he would calmly say, "My dear, there seems to be a button wanting here. Shall you or I sew it on ?" Many a timo did that neglected and heart-broken wife, whose soul yearned for a substantial mar- - Hal oath, and who waited Oh I so wearily to see her husband crumple up a clean shirt and dance on it, sadly get her needle and thread and sew on a button, while Mr. Valentine smiled in a peaceful and loving way upon her. As the days and weeks went on, the feeling that he was not like other men grew upon her, and she passed the greater part of her time in tears. Of course, Mr. Valentine never smoked. Capital Punishment. The following States have abolished capital punishment and punish murder in tbe first degree by imprisonment for life : Wisconsin, Michi gan, Iowa, Minnesota. In the latter State, however, the death penalty may still be inflicted if the jury so determine. In Maine the death sentence eaanot be executed under six months from the day of sentence, and the time may be extend ed ta one .year. In Illinois the punishment maw; - be either death, im prisonment fo life, or for a term not' less than 14 yean, according as u jury shall aeternune. . ? ? . He said that it was an objectionable prac tice and that it spoiled the curtains. Like wise, he never drank anything, and be longed to neither lodge nor club. He al ways spent his evenings at home, and Mrs. Valentine is prepared to swear that she never saw him read a newspaper at the breakfast table, and that in fact on the only occasion on which she ever knew him to look at any newspaper no was loos ing at the list of deaths and marriages. Who can tell what anguisn tnis wretens unmanly conduct inflicted upon his inno cent wife ? One day she went, in despera tion, to her Pastor and begged him to call hera " fool," explaining that as he was a minister he could, of course, use the ex pression in a purely theological and inno cent way. When the horrined Pastor asked her why she made such a request; she confessed, with the tears streaming from her eyes that she was a neglected wife, and that her husband never spoke to her as men ought to speafe to their wives, and that she should die unless she could hear some one use toward her the language to which a good and true wife is entitled. This incident tells more plainly than a dozen large octavo volumes bound in half calf, with gilt edges, could tell, the depth of misery into which the miserable woman had fallen. The day. however, came when she learned from Mr. Valentine's own lips that he was an impostor. He told her all. lie said -that he was a woman, and that though bis disguise bad so far- protected him, the hounds of justice were now on his track, and he must flee. The outraged wife, stunned by learning the unexpected but horrible nature of the mystery which had. surrounded her husband, scratched his face with sublime fury and went home to her father- where, like an early Christian mar - tyr, she now bears her sorrows with pa tience and resignation, waiting for a judi cial decree asserting the nullity of her mar riage, and the arrival of a new husband ot an unmistakably genuine character.
