RgbBED AND DESERTED.
AZ Artist who superintenda
4 Crank on . Railroad
u Train Deserts His Wife
in this City.

1 She was born in Pennsylvania, and
never had slept from beneath the
shelter of her parents roof UNI
til her husband brought her to this
city week or two ago. The SHOWS
lof about fifty winters have fallen
since she was born, but her simple
tastes, and her quiet life, had been
fully satisfied with her immediate
surroundings in Marion county, until
the line Of the A., X. 8 D. M. Rail
road was surveyed through her faith
ers farm some several months ago. She
was far beyond the bloom Of youth
and had settled down to the realities
Of life in earnest. She was a model
housekeeper, kept cows and pigs OF
her own, was thrifty and healthy, with
a handsome store Of ready cash in
care Of her father who was counted
one of the wealthy men Of the neigh
borhOod.
This man, now her husband, heard
all this, and laid seige to her heart. in
a vigorous style, which, until this
time, had remained fancy free.
After a short conrtship they were
married and settled down to hum
drum life on the farm, where they re.
manned until a short time ago, and
started out TO found a home and for.
tune of their own. They came TO this
city and put up with Mr.. Gossagc Al
the Planters House,, where they
boarded in contentmcnt few days
the husband, in the meantime, pretend
ing TO hunt house to rent.
After search of some duration nc
gave up the idea, and told his nnsus.
pecting wife that no house was to be
had, and that he had made up hi:
mind to go into the country and find
a place ; that a hotel was a very nn.
safe place to keep large sum Of
money on her person that she had
better give him what money she had
which he would put in the bank unit
his return. She, suspecting nothing
gave it to him, and he, forgetting his
promise, left the country withon
even bidding her good bye.
Their beds and bedding, the cloth.
ing of the woman, the result of years
of toll and economy were left in tht
express Office with orders from hin
not to let her have them until he re
turned.
4 After waiting several days and HI
not returning, she concluded she wa
} a deserted wife. She started for hcl
goods in the express Office where sh,
was told of the orders he left. How
ever, she was allowed to open one o
her trunks and take out some clothing
leaving the box in the care of th'
landlord and left for her parents HON,
about as sad as woman ever gets
In reply to the question as to whicl
| she would rather possess the man o.
the money, she answered that tn,
{ money would suit her best.
She has returned to her chicken
| and pigs in Marion county, where, lie
US hope, she will soon forget this MAJ
| and be happy again.

MILITARY NOTES.

Lieut.. Rufus p. Brown, 4th Infan-
try, leaves here to-day for Fort Fetter-
man.
DR.. NJ. NJ. Shearcr, U. s. A, has
been here several days, en- rUute to
San Francisco, where he is ordered
for duty.
Capt. r. b. Devices, End Cavalry,
has started with his company from
Fort Steele to Fort Laramie.
Nearly all the troops stationed along
the line of the railroad have moved
and are moving north. There Is only
one company now at Mcpherson, one
at North Platte, II at Sidney, two
ut Russell, one at Sanders. one at
Steele, and two at 3ridger. Only
enough troops are left It these posts to
take car of public property. Indeed,
the necessity for posts like Sidney,
Mcpherson, North Platte, Steele and
Bridger, has ceased to exist. Chey-
enne and Russell are in the centre of
the Department, and are the natural
base from which supplies and troops
can be despatched at short notice, and
reach the exposed portions of the
northern frontier most quickly. At
this point, too, is the place for head
quarters OF the Department, IN every
military point of view. Political in
huence alone keeps the headquarters
at Omaha.
Capt. Manson and Lieut.. Delaney,
9th Infantry, arrived here yesterday
with one company Of that Regiment,
from Fort Hartsuff, Nebraska, en-
route to Fort Laramie.
Capt. Noyes, with Co. 1, End Cav
airy, has left Fort Sanders for Fort
Laramie.
Brig. Gen. George Crook. U. s.
Army, the new commander OF this
department., accompanied by Capt.
Nickerson and Lieut.. Burke, Of his
staff, passed through here yesterday,
ell route to Omaha.

Anything TO Beat Grant,,

The Bohemians of Washington, for
the want of something better to do,
have commenced to disband President
Grants cabinet. The resignation of
Secretaries Delano, Belknap and Robe
son and Attorney General Williams,
having all, in their turn, been an
nounced by these veracious fellows,
and the associated press have duly
chronicled their prophesies. The in
dependent press has drawn its own
conclusions from these reports and,
we are sorry to say, some Republican
journals have followed its example, by
attacking these cabinet officers and
charging them with all kinds of mis-
doings, and in that way accounting
fo- their desire to retire from their
positions. Secretary Delano has re-
ceived n full share of this abuse es-
pecially has the so-called Independent
press out-Heroded Herod in assailing
the Secretary of the Interior and the
officials connected with his Depart
ment. The latter being, in times of
peace, the most important division OF
the executive branch of the govern
ment, is made the point of attack by
these scavengers of the press, in order
to beat Grant and his administra-
ton" The two Tri6uncs, as usual,
have taken the front rank among the
villifyers of an honest and efficient
public officer, and all the little yelping
ours have followed suit; they have
revived some of the old7 charges
against the Interior Department.,
which have been their stock in trade
for years, and which have time and
again been proven maliciously false.
The country, the President and the
Republican party have confidence in
the integrity of Secretary Delano, and
approve of his management of the
important public trusts placed in his
charge he cal therefore we'll afford
to treat with silent contempt the i'm
potent assaults of a corrupt press.
