General Hugh L. CamDheII

We copy the following from the Musca-
tine, Iowa, Tribune:
We don't know what business Colonel
Hugh j. Campbell has to ENTER an appear
ance' on our streets. When the Tribune
lays out anybody's corpse, and buries it, it
enjoys a certain confidence that that man
has been disposed of. 1t isn't expected that
sucn a man, if he has any respect for ones
feelings, will 90 and put on pantaloOns
again. At least not right away. Even in
eur own case, we should certainly wait for
the obituary. 1t isn't often that one has the
opportunity of reading his own obituary
1t should never be neglected. 1t don't
happen more than once or twice to any
man.
Three or four weeks since we published
the demise of Hugh j. Campbell, and now,
If the court can trust herself, we have been
talking with the deceased this afternoon.
Our health is fair, appetite good at noon,
but did not Overeat, am quite positive that
we took no after dinner nap, and did not
hear any rappings or rafting of windows
when the Colonel entered our office.
Of course such an apparitiOn led us to the
inquiry of where are you now - and for
few moments our thoughts were upon
eternity. But the colonel presented his
cigar case, and we pronounce that brand
good, wherever it came from. And ghost
or no ghost, we were glad to see the man.
Eleven years is a wide bar to place between
friends. The colOnels whiskers are getting
snowy, and 1t seems to us that he carries a
little more ayoiydupois than formerly.
Otherwise the same, though he is not like
the contraband Sam, who said "when YOU
see Sam you see all there is of us" We
have called our friend "the colonel" He is
major general of the Louisiana militia,
State Senator of his adopted State and
Register of the Land Office for that district
He visits Muscatine for the purpose of spend
ing few days with his old acquaintance.
The colonel numbers a host of friends in
this city, and he is the recipient of compli-
ments and congratulations on every hand
We are now going out to call upon that
individual who told us that Mr.. Campbell
was deceased. If he hasn't the best evidence
for the truth of his information he must
take it back

Writ Skies and Olive Logan we're
married last week in the elegant man
sion at IS West Ninth street, which
they purchased with their joint earn
fDqs in their extended lecture tours Of
tie past two years. Both are we'll
known ia the literary and histriouic
world, at least By reputation. and there
are few persons in the more important
towns from one end Of the country to
The other who have not seen them.
Both stand In the front line of the
ultra rrogreasionists Of the age in re-
gard to marriage, and the religious
ceremony of yesterday they regarded
as a concession 70 the preiadices Of the
enlightened majority The true mo-
tive Of the couple, however, is the ad-
vantage which Legality will give to
their long-l0rned union Of interest
Thew certainly did not take the leap
without good look beforehand, and
now start in life, az the saying is, with
koHledge Of each other Which should
do much toward smoothing The path
way Of their new relationship, and
rendering their marriage truly blessed.
Over two weeks ago handsome cards Of
invitation we're sent out to the friends
Of the couple, which were unique IN
their way.
PROMPT to the moment, DR. Cojlyer
steDDed forward to perform the ceremo-
ny. he is the celebrated ez-black-
smith. whose renown hes been enhan-
eed since tie Chicago fire. The SER
vices were very impressive, consisting
OF a fer7ent prayer, and the Unitarian
marriage formula, from which the
word "obey" is omitted, DR.. Collyer.
speaking of this afterward, said that ne
had never married more than one wo-
man who promised 10 obey, and she
didn't. There wore no bridesmaids.
Bliss. Logan's mother gave way her
daughter. Then came congratulations,
and subsequent adjournment to the
rear narlor, where a large table was
spread with cakes and frsiS and other
! knick -knacks, which each person tasted.
