THE DAILY DISPATCH
Friday Morning, May 6, 1888.
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The Morning Mail, of yesterday, passes
some structures upon the nomination of Charles
James Faulkner for Congress, by the Democra.
cy OF the 9Th Congressional District, who, il al
leges, little more than two years ago was a
Wing.
The Wig cites from an article in the Wash.
'ngton Union, upon the New Mexico difficulty,
TO prove that it has changed its tone onsider-
ably on that subject. 1t was very manifest, it
says, that the tendency of the Unions first ar.
ticles, was to sustain the act of Gov. Lane, in
taking forcible possession Of the disputed ter
ritory, and coming from the organ of the Ad-
ministration, they were very properly taken as
the exponents OF its sentiments. Upon second
sober thought, the Union confesses that it "en- :
tertainsd serious doubts as to the propriety oi
his Gov. Lane's) course" and thinks, "ihe
probability is, that he has acted hastily, with
out adequate reasons and in a manner to in.
crease existing difficulties" &c.
The Times condemns Mrs. Stoves proceed.
ings in England and Scotland. 1t also com
ments upon the qualifications of the Democrat
ic nominees for the Board of Public Works.
The Enquirer comes out strongly agains,
the nomination of T. J. Boyd, of Wythe coun.
ty, for the Board Of Public Works.

FIRE kND Loss OF LIFE.-We learn from the
Nashville Wing, that on Tuesday night the
dwelling house of Mr.. Waggoner, about seven
miles from that city, was destroyed by fire,
and that three of his children were burned TO
death. The mother, in her frantic attempts 10
rescue her children, was also severely burned.

A NUPTIAL ERAGEDY.-W observe a story
going the rounds which savors too much of
romance to be true. 1t is to the effect that a
wealthy merchant of New Orleans, struck with
the beauty OF mulatto child, the offspring OF
one OF his servonts, sent it to the North to be
educated The child remained there until her
sixteenth year, unconscious of her real origin
the idol Of the institute, beloved by her COM
panions, and caressed by every one. She left
school TO return, as she supposed, 10 the roof
OF her uncle. a young Louisiana gentleman
saw the maiden, loved her, was loved in return,
and sought her hand in marriage. The mar.
riage day was fixed, nay, arrived, when loI the
mother appeared, and in the bridal hall, after
the ceremony had been performed, claimed the
magnificent bride as her own daag hter-a slavs
by birth, and an African by blood. Here, of
course, followed scene "swpassing the pow.
er of pen to portray" That night the BRIDE
groom shot the adopted father os his bride, and
disappeared, no one knew whilher. The next
morning the bride was found in the nuptial
chamber, dead, having taken poison. The
romance closes by stating that the wounded
gentleman recovered, removed to the North,
and is now buried in the deepest seciusion-
the residue of his years embiitered by the
keenest regret. Here, now, is an excellent

From 81. Lous papers Of the ssih and 7sh nit.
Il The magnificent new steamer Bluff City is
now at the Leyee receiving freight for the Mis-
souri, River and Council Bluffs This is her first
appearance at the landing, and she is without
exception one Of the finest boats ever here. She
is commanded by Capt. McCloy.
We learn that Mr.. David White, of Madison,
and Mr.. Sweeney, President of the Union Line,
have succeeded in getting a sufficient amount Of
stock subscribed for new line of packets be-
tween this city and Louisville, and it is now
given out that the line will be Immediately
formed; the boats will be built to start at an
early day, and strong efforts are being made to
secure the entire patronage of the Ohio and Bal
timore Railroad.
STEAMER MIcMGAN.-This is the name of a
new boat built recently ut Pittsburgh by Capt
Reilley, and is intended for the St. Louis and
Galena trade, where she will no doubt prove
rich investment for her owners. She is per.
fect steamboat in every particular, and carries
800 tons.
RIVERS. river at this point continues
rising The Upper Mississippi river is rising
fast, with 10 feet water on the Rapids The
Illinois river is also rising, there being a good
deal Of rain up in that section Of the country
lately. The Missouri is reported by last boats
from st. Joseph to be falling all the way down.
A party Of Santa Fe traders arrived here
yesterday ON the good steamer Polar Star
They bring with them 500, 900 in silver.
Freights to New Orleans are now lower than
they have been for many years, and very little
for New Orleans at all.
The steamer Royal Arch arrived from Galens
with 290 barrels Of lard and II ,260 pieces bull
meat.

SEVERE SToRM.-There was severe storm Of
wind, accompanied by thunder and lightning
and hail, in Terre Haute, on Sunday evening,
the 23d ult. Much damage was done to the
buildings. The steeple of Mr.. Jewett's church
fell on the roof and broke through to the room
below, so injuring the walls as to make the
building useless. The Prairie City says:
The Floating Palace was lying at the wharf,
and hundreds of our citizens were on board, but
the craft boldly outrode the storm, and the per-
Torrance went on uninterrupted.
We have heard no estimate of the damage oc.
casioned by the hurricane, but suppose it will
amount to thousands, how many we are moi
prepared to say.
