How Gen. CROOK Got nis wife,

John Daley, who keeps a hotel
at Oakland, Garrett county, Nd,
is a candidate for doorkeeper of the
Federal house of representatives. A
writer in the Philadelphia Com
monwealth gives a bit of romance
about Johns family, as follows:
"There is a bit of romance con-
nected with Dailey's family we'll
worth relating, as it brings to mind
one of the pleasant "reminiscences
of our great internal conflict. Dur
ing the war the city of Cumberland
was for a long time occupied by
Federal soldiers under command Of
Generals Crook and Kelley. On a
certain occasion, about midnight,
when no apprehension Of danger
was felt, a small party of Oonfede
rate troops passed through the Fed
eral lines aud, as your readers are
aware, captured and carried off two
generals in command. That party
was commanded by a son of John
Daley.
The young Confederate officer
carried his distinguished captives to
his fathers house and quartered
them there as prisoners Of war,
treating them with all the kindness
and consideration due their high
rank. 1t so happened that John
Daley had a comely daughter, al.
belt she had proolivitieS of a South
erner, and, therefore, rebellious
tincture, and General Crook, al
though an excellent soldier and
thoroughly loyal, was not proof
against the claims of female lowell
ness, no matter if they were reAee-
ted through a disloyal medium, and
while he remained reluctant pris-
oner in charge of the gallant Con-
federate officer he became a willing
captive at the hands Of his fair sis
ter, whom he wooed and welded as
his lawful wife,"

Tucson, ARIZONA, September 5.
Il am just up from the City of
Mexico, and, as | promised you a
letter from here, | must resume
specie payments. There are plenty
of things to write about, but one
don't know what to give the prefer
ence. Everything is on a magnif-
cent scale, from the spiders which
spin webs to the irontiersman
who spins yarns. I guess l had
better tell you little story that
has just been related to me. 1t
will give you faint idea Of what
kind of story-tellers, or Indian
fighters, l am not certain which,
they raise out here.
"There comes Mountain Joe on
his pony" said my friend, Colonel
Fleance Fitz Roy, to-day, as we
were seated in the shade of spread
ing mulberry in the Grand Plaza.
The person referred to was a haad-
some looking young man of perhaps
thirty-fve, something above the
medium height, of graceful carriage
and agile appearance. He was
armed with a half-carbine, half
navy revolver that hung in a belt
by his left side, and was clad in a
buckskin suit.
"'Mountaia Joe,' as you call him,
Colonel, seems to be rather fine
specimen of the frontiersman, but
| don't See anything remarkable
about his pony, to which you par
ticularly refer"
Thereby hangs tail which /
will unfold if you feel like listen
ing to it."
Go on; tell it, by all means"
:" Mountain Joe, as he is called,
was born somewhere in the Eastern
States, and infatuated with the In
dian stories he had read, ran away
from his parents and came to the
Southwest. But he has had some
hard knocks since, and the hardest
were received in earning that pony,
or rather five dollars worth of It.
You see, few years ago old Senor
Romuldo, whose rancho lies out
along the Pinto road, owned that
pony and one of the loveliest daugh-
ters in these parts. He was I'M
mensely wealthy, aud owned several
valuable mines, and there was no
telling how much gold and silver
bullioG he had stored away.
Now, all the young fellows
around here were crazy after the girl
lnez, but Joe set his heart on the
pony, and wanted to buy it. He is
a fellow who always has his own
way, andi is a blessed good thing
that his head is always right, other
wise somebody would get into
trouble. But when Joe tried to
get the pony everybody thought he
was baked for once.
"The Senor asked sixty-fye dol
lars for it, and Joe dug around to
raise the money. He raised it, all
except five dollars, and he wanted
Romuldo to trust him for the rest
of it till he would come back from
hunting expedition. This the old
Spanish curmudgeon refused to do,
and Joe yainly appealed to his
friends to loan him the other v.
Failing, he got mad and swore that
he would not live in such COM
munity. One day he left and was
not heard from for nearly year.
"ln the meantime a band of
Kickapoo Indians swooped down

raid upon the settlements, and only
a small guard were to be left in the
cave.
"All this Inez hurriedly ex.
planned to Joe, and it was agreed
that he was to lie concealed in the
unexplored portions of the cave to
the rear, recover from his wounds
and wait till the Indians left before
attempting rescue. while Inez was
to furnish him with provisions from
her own allowance.
"The chief, Red Eagle, in the
meantime treated her with distin-
guished consideration, offering her
whatever she called for. After
three weeks Of weary waiting Inez
learned from the old woman that
Red Eagle and his braves had gone
South, and that four braves had
been left to guard her night and
day. They took up their places in
the far corner of the great hall,
and he waited impatiently until
they should go to sleep. Day and
night were the same in the
cave, but finally the braves
stretched themselves out one after
another to sleep. That sleep was
their last, for four shots from Joe's
revolving carbine fred in rapid
succession killed them all before
either was aware of their danger.
"The old woman was forced to
guide them to the entrance of the
cave, which was found after many
and tortuous windings, and Inez
and Joe emerged from their living
tomb just after sunrise. Joe then
saw that he had passed entirely
through the mountain.
Romuldo and his friends had
long given them up for dead, and
their feelings may be better i'm
agined than described when they
returned safe and sound after their
miraculous adventures. Ever since
then Joe has ridden that pony and
has been perfectly happy"
"But you don't mean to tell me,
Colonel, that Joe got no other re-
ward than that miserable piece oil
horsehesh. He married Inez, Of
course ?"
"That's the way the story writ
erS would fix things" said the col
onel, "but they never deal in facts
as | have done. The senior was as
good as his word, and got sur.
veyor to divide the ranch into two
equal parts, and showed Joe about
fifteen cart-loadS of gold and silver
bullion as his share"
"No, sir" said Joe. 81 wan

: pony. Here are the $50, and
want to know if you will trust mt
for the other S."
"I'll give you the pony and any
thing else you want" said the senior
"You deserve anything that you
will ask for"
"But with all that the senol
could do or say, Joe made him take
the $50 and let him have the pony
with S. due on it,"
Well, that is the most unnatu
raj ending to wonderfully roman
tic story ever heard. Colone

from Mrs. Elizabeth B. Custer, &C.
6nowledging the receipt of resolu.
tions passed by Hoods Texas Brig
ade Association to the memory o1
her husband, General G.. A. Custer,
who fell fighting at the head of hiI
troops, in a battle with the Sioux
Indians, last July a year ago. The
Brigade Association some time af.
terward held its annual reunion at
Byron, and passed resolutions Of
respect and honor for the memory
of the gallant dead.
Mrs. Custer, overwhelmed by the
calamity, has been unable to write
until now. Here is her beautiful
letter:
Mr.. Burns:
"DEAR SIR regret very much
that so long time has passed with
out my acknowledgment and
thanks for the beautiful resolutions
offered by the survivors of Gen
eral Hoods Texas brigade
81 could have asked friends to
answer your letter for me during
my illness, but | felt anxious to
write for myself, and assure the
Confederate soldiers who so touch
ingly remembered my husband in
words of praise, that l most sim
cerely appreciate their kindness.
81 am glad to tell you how much
admiration General Custer felt for
the courage and endurance of the
Southern army.
cit seems to prove the higher
and better nature of men when sol
diers can admire the gallantry and
heroism of each other, even when
differing in sentiment and belief.
1--WE had the privilege of becom-
ing personally acquainted with
General Hcod in 1865, and it seems
to me matter Of cougatulation
when men can serve under such q
soldier and gentleman. Very re-
spectfully, yours,
"ELIZABETH.B. CUSTER.

The recent sale of personal effects of
widow Schncbly, near Hagentown, was a
notable event thereabouts. About fifteen
hundred persons were present many being
from Baltimore. The widow died last
November, and was nearly one hundred
and four years old. Some of the effects
brought large prices as relics, a few Of
them being over one hundred and fifty
years old. The Schnebly farm, of two
hundred and forty.6ve acres, was sold to
Jacob Teischer for forty dollars per
acre. Mrs. Schnebly lived on this farm
eighty three years and six months, from
the day Of her marriage to the day of her
death.
