The Marriage of "a Woman to
a Woman.
lTerrell (TeXaSl Star. |


Marancy Hughes was married in Sep
TENDER last to a person who was known
as Samuel NJ. Pollard. Her relatives
opposed the match, and she eloped and
was married without their knowledge,
and short time after their marriage
Pollard confessed to her that she was a
woman, that she had trouble with her
rela tives in the East, had lost her prop
erty, and assumed the disguise of man
for the reason that avenues for making
money would be open to her in that
character which would be closed to her
as woman. Pollard has never given
her any particular reason for doing her
this great wrong, but is believed to have
been actuated by a foolish pride in ap-
pearing as a married man. The victim
was ashamed to acknowledge that she
had been so imposed upon, and shrunEl
from admitting the truth. Pollard,
without actually threatening her life,
repeatedly intimated that it would be
bad for her if she exposed her, and so
she kept silence until fortnight ago,
when her aunt got an intimation of the
fact, and questioned her closely, and
she related to her the whole story. The
victim says that the w0man's real name
is Sarah NJ. Pollard, and that her trunk
is filed with feminine apparel. A com
plaint was filed yesterday by J. c. How
erton, accusing Pollard Of perjury in
swearing, when he took out the mar
Tiage license, that he was a male.

Nj. Labouclere has found this excel
lent story in an agricultural paper as
told by the Rev. E. L. Bettron, of Rom
sey, to whom be all proper praise
The record of Romsey Abbey showed
that his predecessors in the Ivings of
st. Leonard and st. Lawrence received
their tithes in kind in the north aisle.
They received every tenth cow, calf
and pig; but how they managed to
deal with them he didn't know. A
rather pompous, tight-laced clergymen
was one day called upon to christen a
child, but on asking it's name the wo-
man who brought it said, Il don't
know, sir; it's your child, sir!' My
childP exclaimed he. Yes, sir, it's
the tenth child, sir.n

WHAT Col. ZACHAR1E SAYs.-A New
Orlenns Times reporter interviewed
Col. Zacharie on the attitude the lead
ers of the alleged bargain with Hayes
bear towards the investigation, with the
following result:
He replied that there was no bargain.
There had been mysterious illusions to
the conference at Wormey's, about
which there was no mystery, and signi-
ficant hints at something like an agree
ments about which there was no signi-
ticante whatever, until the public mind
seems to be worked into d suspicion
that some of the Louisiana conserva-
tives had been holding improper inter
course with Hayes. 1t would have been
much better, in his opinion, to have
squefched this bal gain" talk long ago
by making clean breast of all that
transpired, which was simply this
assurances were given that If the troops
were withdrawn no one would be prose-
cuted on account of his politics These
assurances were given, it was right and
wise to give them, and they had been
honorahly kept. Giving them did not
injure Tiiden in the least, and any at
tempt to make it so appear will be
promptly met.
