SAD ENDING OF A ROMANCE.
A Private Soldier Condemned to DEATH for Fall
- Ing I'm Love,

Ing IN Love.
To-day, Just as the sun is at meridian, Just as
with solemn sound the great bell of the old st.
Louis Cathedral tolls forth the hour of noon,
soldier will pay the penalty OF a crime for which
military justice knows but one eXplatlon. The
limited States barracks, below the city, has been
the place selected where the execution is to take
place, and the green sward OF the parade
ground will ere many hours be stained with the
CRIMSON life-blood of the unfortunate man.
He was member of one of the companies OF
United States troops stationed near village in
one OF the interior parishes of Louisiana. Near
the camp of the company was the plantation
of n wealthy gentleman who had sympathlzed
with the Union cause during the war, ana WHO,
therefore, was the object OF special attention on
the part Of the officers of the command then
performing provost duty. The planter mad
large family, among whom was daughter VINO
possessed in q remarkable degree that rare type
of beauty for which the women of the South are
noted She had imbibed the sentiments OF her
father, and therefore took great pleasure in en-
tertaining the officers who frequently visited
the house.
Black, at once conceived n warm attachment for
the beautiful young creole, and endeavored IN
every way to induce her to share his feelings.
Strange to say, however, the lady treated him
in n peculiarly polite but formal manner that
proved her heart was ice toward him. This was
a great shock to his vanity, and he was at loss
to understand it. Finally the explanation came,
when one of his companions, playtully rallylng
him upon his Ill success, SldJeu JudG hS uau us
covered why the lady refused to smile upon him.
He had accidentally witnessed an interview
between herself and Private Alfred Blake, the
soldier who had been detailed to guard the house
an interview which proved conclusively that
the heart of the young creole was lrreVocaoly
the private's and not the officers.
This Intelligence was too much for Lieutenant
Black. His pride was wounded in the most
vital point He mad been forestalled where his
heart was most enlisted, and by one of his own
subordinates. Seeking Private Blake at once,
he poured out the vials of his wrath upon him,
taunted him with his position, and declared he
would send him where he should have no more
opportunities Of dalying with shameless girl
while on duty. Alfred Blake had borne much,
but this coarse allusion to the woman he loved
better than life fired his heart and brain, and
with one blow he struck his officer PROSTATE
upon the ground in the presence of his company.
Then followed the trial-which was rendered
inexpressibly touching by the presence OF the
woman who had dared to love private soldier
the sentence of death, to be preceded by im-
prisonment Mt Ship Island.
To-day the sentence is TO be enforced and the

FINANCE AND COMMERCE..
hVENING TELEGRAPH OFFICE
Wednesday, April 8, 1870,

There is a very dull feeling lngeneral financial
circles, which accords perfectly with the condi-
ton of trade. The money market is amply sup
piled with loanable funds awaiting employment,
but there is SO little inducement held out to
capital that the supply appears much greater
than il really is. A scarcity of funds during the
balance of the season is now out of the question:
and lenders are accommodating themselves to
the circumstances by advancing freely without
the least reference to possible tightness in the
market pretty sure indication that no such
contingency is feared. The prospects are in
favor OF an easy money market for some time to
come, but we would prefer TO see stringency
brought about by the business activity usual at
this season.

swindler The matter created some sensation in the
House. Ben Butler said if these scharges proved
false the House would have to deal with Wood; to
which Wood replied that he acted on his personal
responsibility, and after the House was through in
