the streets, and actually sold come to her
brother on one of his trips to the city in
pursuit.
As the fall wore on they saw and heard
no more OF the searching of friends, and
settled down to housekeeping, throwing
off disguise, though she went out but little.
The blast of warn was blowing strongly
how Gercely, many lonely heart still
remembers well. Advertisements from
Cleveland were sent out for engineers to
ran Government trains. Niles went there,
made an engagement for himself and fire.
man, and midwinter found him running
Government engine on a Nashville rail-
road, with his wife. in her old disguise,
as fireman. This lasted several months.
On Buel's famous retreat to Nashville,
there'were reports of train being fred
into by bushwhackers, and q number of
persons killed on the train, and many
hurt, including the brave engineer, who
paid no heed to distractions on the track,
and by bravely pulling through saved the
Government 3 valuable train of cotton.
This was Niles. He was badly wounded,
and on being stopped at Tullahoma,
where the road was blOckaded, was re.
moved to Mulfreesboro in an ambulance,
and thence to Northern hospital, with
his wife e-fireman for hospital nurse.
In 1865, the war over, the couple found
themselves in Cleveland Niles got the
gold fever, and, leaving his wife in that
city, left for the West. He returned at
the close of the season, however, disfeart-
ened with the wet, which had made the
mining season failure. They lived at
Cleveland, in Toledo and Chicago alter
nately, both doing what they could for
support, living together last in the former
city. In 1872, leaving her there, he went
to Chicago to attend to somesbusiness con.

brother, named Fits On his arrival, ne

land was taken suddenly i'll, and might not
live, though they would inform him if she
got worse. He staid four days, and when
he reached the Cleveland boarding-house
was stricken down with the tidings of her
death and burial. The landlord showed
her clothes and effects, and took him to
the grave, whose fresh covering was too

may be remembered as skillful letterel
Of windows and painter of signs.
But it is the denoument which is the
strangest part of his history, which is, that
he has within a short time made the dis
covery that his wife is not dead, but was
discovered by her friends, and, by de-
ceit, reclaimed from her wandering, and
is now living at her old home, with the
friends of her youth. Niles, who has
himself told these facts, declares his in

"A Mr.. Whltesldes recently found a
satchel in the road, which he picked up
and brought along with him. He first
examined it, however, and found that
it contained some $3000-$2, 900 in gold
and $1,000 in currency. He overlook
some movers, and it occurred to him
that they might have dropped it, so he
asked if they had lost anything. An
old gentleman in the party replied they
had not; but at the same time asked his
wife, who was in the wagon, to make an
examination. The wife soon said their
satchel was missing. Mr. Whitesides
held up the one he had found, and asked
if it was the one, and the old gentleman
replied that it was, and that it contained
So, 600. Mr.. Whitesides deemed it unnec-
essary to make further inquiry, and de-
livered the satchel and its contents to its
rightful owner.-BsN County tTer.) jour.

EGYPT ~ NEU- YORK.

The description of the Obelisk known as
Cleopatra's Needle. and its transportation to
London, in THE TRIBUNE of the I'd inst, Gre
ated a general interest in the subject, which
Will be greatly heightened if an announcement
made in The World of yesterday shall prove to
he correct. That journal states "by authority i"
but by whose authority we are not informed,
that the Khedive of Egypt has signiied his
willingness to present to the Clty Oh New
York. upon prorer application, tie twin
"Neede," the sister-0belisll OF that now toat-
ing toward England. This shaft stands upon
the sea-shore, monolitb of the granite
of Syene, seventy feet i'll height, and Is a famil-
iar landmark to all travellers who have visited
Alexandria The hieroglyphics on It's seward
face have been partly effaced by the action OF
the salt wind and spray during more than l,oOO
years. and its base is so much worn and mutt
lated. that it is likely to be Frustrated by Medl-
tcrranean cyclone at some future day. IL Is,
we believe, of the same age as the English
obelsll-that of Thothmes ILL.,, which gives 1t
an antiquity of 3,400 years. The English con-
tractors. who are now conveying the latter to
London, are said to have offered to transport
the Khedve's gift to this city, and to erect it
in any location which may be chosen, for the
sum of 800, 900, taking upon themselves the
whole risk of the enterprise.
We sincerely hope that the statement is not
premature. The value of the gift could only
be equallcd by its appropriateness and the
grace with which it is voluntarily offered.
Whatever may be said of the fitness of pre-
serving the relics of ancient civilization in the
lands which produced them there is grand
symbol of the closer intercourse of the world
in thus uniting the oldest and the youngest OF
the great nations of history Moreover, the
obelisk has been already once removed from its
true place. and has little more association with
Alexandria (since Cleopatra never saw 1t there)
than it would have with NewY York. We could
possess 10 more memorable ornament of an
architectural character-n0ne so enriched by
associations linking us to the whole story OF
human civilization. The cost of transportation
will be subscribed in a week. as soon as the
announcement is properly verified. The letter
of Mr. Charles StOrrs, which we publish this
morning, is prompt evidence that the bounty
of orr Weather citizens will respond as freely
to the offer as the Imagination of the public.

reminds the same class now that France stu

It. is not pleasant, but those who dance must
pay the piper. The country is paying for the
music 10 which it danced so merrly in the
years before the panic. Large crops We I'M
doubtedly have, and improved demand for our
products from foreign countries, a lower cost
of production than has been known since 1860,
and lower cost of transportation than has
ever been known, except during the unnatural
struggle last Summer. Yet the long desired
prosperity is retarded. The most important
conditions are present; the energy OF the peO-
Die rs ample, and yet industry halts and COM
merce staggers. With every vigorous step to-
ward better business, the foot slips, and, in slid
ing backward, nearly all the progress is lost.
The difficulty is traceabe to single cause
growing distrust of corporate management and
individual integrity. Commerce wakes in the
morning with bright hopes, and before noon
hears of an over-issue of stock. Industry tolls
through the day with skill, patience, and sue
cess, and at night hears that another broken
savings bank has stolen its earnings. Bankers
and capitalists begin to take heart for modcr-
ate Investments in sound securities, and sud
denly discover that some man of eminent rep
utation has palmed off upon them forged or
raised certificates. ne anxious husband ana
father pinches to provide for wife and child
ana presently finds that his insurance company
has become bankrupt, or been robbed by an
agent. 1t is impossible TO measure the de-
pressing effect of these continuous disclosures.
They come every day; they strike men in
every station in life, and in every branch of
business; they tramplc down and Kill the very
germs of confidence as fast as they begin TO
grow.
1t is easy to trace these disorders, also, to a
common cause. For years we supposed that
We were getting rich i'll a hurry. Fictitious
values cheated everybody. Artificial prices
enriched a few, only to undermine impercept-
bly, the prosperity Of the many. Wages, in
comes, expenditures and retail prices were
graduated to the supposed large profits. We
know now, to our sorrow, that our apparent
prosperity in 1878 was utterly unreal, but,
unhappily, our enormously increased expendi-
ture individual, social, corporate and munich
pal, was fnghtfully real. Then came day
of reckoning. Thousands of corporations
hundreds of thousands of individuals, dis
covered that they had been spending money
