The SOLDIERS or THE WAR OF 1872
THEIR WiDows AND CHILDREs. We are rel
ques,ed 10 state, by Jndge Sutherland, for the
information Of the many thousand soldiers,
| and widows and children OF the men Of the
wal Of 1912, interested in the Bounty Land
| bill, that it will be pressed 10 consideration
in Congress, early at its next session. The
Judge was at Washington when Congress adj
| journed, and says, from conversation had
with the Hon. Mr.. Churchwell, of Tennessee,
who reported the Bounty Land bill to the
House of Representatives, that he has no
doubt that the bill will be taken up soon
after the session opens in December next.
The Judge gives j, as his opinion that the bill
will pass, If the soldiers, and the widows and
children Justly entitled 10 land from Congress
will write to, or personally call npon each
member in their Representative Districts, 10
vote in favor Of the Bounty Land bill, now
before Congress. The soldiers, and the WI
dows and children of such as are dead, are
right in demanding of their representatives a
vote in favor Of their bill, prior 10 considering
any other proposition thai is intended TO give
away the public domain 10 men who never
served our country in any Of lis wars.-Pub-

srnIousREsuLr HOAX.

Some time since coarse joke was played
unon Young gentleman named JessuP,
clerk in the dry goods establishment OF Mr.
Lee. on Fourth street, by Stephen Smith, a
Young gentleman who formerly edited the
Fores, Garland. Letters puIpor'ns 10 come
from an intelligent and romantic gill were
sent 10 Jessup, and he, being quite ladies'
man, responded in amorous episiles. The
correspondence was continued for several
weeks, ard a, last meeting was agreed upon
The lady was 10 pass Aif. Burneli's saloon
in a carriage, and al signal Jessup was ia
hand her out. OF course, he was all impa'
tience for The arrival of the happy moment
A number OF those in the secret were pres
ent, and when, TO The horror OF Jessup, the
lady proved 10 be very sooiy wench, they
were overjoyed at his shame and the result
Of their trick
No, satisfied with this, Smith had the let
ters published, which such comments and
sligh, alterations Of names as informed every
body who was meant. Jessup, who is a wor'
thy bu, sensitive young man, was muct
annoyed by the consciousness of the ridicu
lons position in which he was placed, and the
ieers OF his acquainiances. Discovering tha
Smith, 10 whom he had in the confidence q
friendship shown his letters, was The aulho
of the hoax, he was naturally sung 10 the
quick. Smith aud Jessup met in the tele
graph office in Hamilton, on Saturday last
and an alteration ensued, which resulted il
Jessup shooting Smith. The ball passe'
through the neck, and Smith is probably dea'
ere this. Jessup was arrested TO answer.-
We would not have blamed Jessup for COW
hiding Smith, but think shooting him wa
carrying the joke rather far -Cineinnaii Col
