husband came home to dinner one day,
as usual, and while eating his wife said to
him, "Stcphcn, you had better cat a
hearty dinner, for it is the last that | will
ever cook for yon." He inquired what
she meant, when she informed him that
she had just received letter from young
man Ga former beau) whom she loved bet
ter than any else in the world that she
was going to leave her husband and 90 to
him and that she never loved (Stephen)

Some one out West has at last found
really serious to say against
the Mormons. With the growth of that
people by and by, some Mormon may be
elected President Of the United States, in
which event it is fearful to think of the
parreling out Of places, not merely to that
Mormon's relations, but to all tho rcla-

announces the deccase of Marshal Adol-
phe Neil, of France, one Of the most

tered the Polytechnic School of Paris in
1921, and the Military Academy of Metz
in 1928, and commenced his military ca
rcer in 1925 as second lieutenant of en-
gneers. In 1861 he distinguished him
selfin the expedition against Constantine,
in Algeria. and was promoted, October
25th, 1887, to command the corps of en-
gineers in that province. On his return
to France he gained distinction as mill
tary engineer, and was appointed colonel
in 1910. In 1S49 he accompanied Gcner-
al valiant in an expedition to Rome. He
became general of division 1855; COM
mandcd in 1854 the siego operations
against Bomarson, and in 1855 was ap-
pointed adjutant to Napoleon Ill, and
was employed in the siege of Sebastopol.
In 1857 ho became member of the
French Senate, in 1860 he took promi,
nent part in the Italian campaign, and
decided by the skillful operation of the
artillery under his command the victory
of Solferino, after which he was made Il
Marshal of France. The Emperor Ma
poleon III. was much attached to this
veteran supporter of his throne.

WILMINGTON, August 17.-Fora week
past personal difficulty has been pending
between Major J. A. Engelhard, editor of
the Journal, and General j. G. Abbott,
United States senator, which grew out of
an editorial article which appeared in tho
Post of the Sth instant, in which the edi-
tors of the Journal were denounced as
public liars on account of alleged injus-
tice done Abbott in reports made of his
speeches. No collision or correspondence
having occurred in the meantime, on
Tuesday evening Abbott addressed note
to Engelhard, in which it was stated that
it was he (Abbot,) and not the editor of
the Post, who was the author of the often
sive article, and that he was responsible
for the same. On Wednesday and Thurs
dav there was unmistakable evidence
that Engelhard would attack Abbot on
sight but the vigilance Of the authorities
prevented it, On Thursday Abbott was
arrested and placed under bonds to keep
the peace: Engelhard successfully avoided
arrest until Saturday at one clock, when
he was surprised ats private house by the
sheriff and posse of men, and placed
under bonds On Sunday morning, En-
gelhard, with three friends, proceeded 10
South Carolina, whence he addressed
communication to Abbott, of which the
following is an extract: "You mustnow
make full retraction of the contents Of
that article, and an apology for publish
ing it, or give me the satisfaction to which
I am entitled, in accordance with the code
Of honor" On Monday, General Abbott,
through friends, replied in communica-
ton, Of which the following is an extract:
by authority of General Abbott and
being fully empowered by him, in his
name we retract in full the article in the
Post of the Sth inst, rejecting on Major
Engclhard, and express our regret that
it was written and published" The
amende was accepted by friends acting
for Engelhard, in written communica-
ton, which it is stated that in nothing
that has appeared in the Journal was any
assault on the private character of Gen.
cral Abbott intended and expressing re-
gret that it had been so construed.
