A correspondent, writing from Wash
ington, Gays: A story comes from the
see ne of the Ute troubles which Illus
trates the romance of frontier life, and
which ia of peculiar interest here be-
cause the parties are we'll known. At
Camp Douglas, on the morning when
the order came for four companies of
the Fourteenth Infantry to go to the
front, the impression was that the cam
paign would last all winter, and would
thus interfere with the marriage of
Lieutenant R. T. Yeatman, of Company
], and Miss Louise Mulhall, sister of
Lieutenant Mulhall, which had been
arranged for Christmas. The order
was received at 8 A. NJ. There was a
hasty conference Of the principals in
the case, and it was decided to have
the ceremony performed Immediately.
Accordingly the chaplain was,summon,
ed and at 10 o'clock they were married.
At II o'clock the command started for
the Indian reservation Lieutenant
Yeatman is a nephew of Admiral Am
men, Miss Mulhall lived here with her
brother and mother about two years,
until the spring of 1878, when Lieuten-
ant Mulball was ordered West.

A special dispatch from Cairo, Egypt,
says: The recent difficulties concern
ing the obelisk had their origin in q
long standing litigation with the
Egyptian Government concerning the
land upon which the obelisk stands.
The Italians, claiming this land, for
bads Lieut.. Commander Gorringe to
D. oce. d with the work of removal. The
Italian Vice Consul at Alexandria sup
ported this prohibition, but the Ameri.
can Vice Consul General had an inter
view with the Italian Consul-General
at Cairo, and through the good will Of
the latter the Italians withdrew their
opposition, upon receiving from Com
mander Gorrings slight compensa-
ton for the use Of the land. The Com
mander is now proceeding rapidly
with his work, although several hold
ers of Egyptian bonds have threatened
to seouester the obelisk. The Khedive
and American Vice Consul both ridicule
the idea that the obelisk can be seized
by anybody.

characters in the country. This was
Mrs. D. X. Smith, who lived near
Lsginier, Westmoreland county. Her
proportions were extraordinarily large.
She measured thirty-four inches across
the shoulders, and weighed within a
fraction of six hundred and ten pounds.
The coffin was necessarily of immense
size, and before it was delivered two
ordinary men lay in it side by side on
their backs without crowding each 9TH
er in the least. When brought to the
house it could not be got through the
door, and it was necessary to leave it
outside until the time set for the funer-
al, when the corpse was carried out to
the coffin.

THE LITTLE 0nAvE.

" rs only q little grave" they said,
" Only lust child that's dad; i"
And % they carelessly turned away
From the mound the spade had made tna'
All they did not know hsw deep shade
That little grave In our homo has made.
know the coffln vas narrow and small;
One yard would have served for an ample
pail:
And one man in his arms o0Sld have borns
The rosewood casket and It's freight Of clay;
but know that darling h0pes were hid
Beneath that little coffin lid.
I kDow that mother stood that day
With folded hands by that Torn Of clay;
know that burning tears were d
Meath the dropping lash and aching lid =,
And l know that her lip, ana cheek, and
brow,
Were almost as white a. her baby's now.
! know that some things were hid away
The crimson irock and wra pingsEy,
The little sock and hali-wOrn shoe,
The cap with It's plume and tasse blue,
And an empty Id with Its covers spread,
As white as the lace OF her guilelesS dead.
I" 'Tls little grave;" but oh have care,
For Worldwide hopes sre buTie there;
And ye, perhaps, In coming years
May see like her, through hiding tears.
How much OF light. how much Ofjoy,
Is buried with my only boy.

The back yard of Mr.. J. Mitchell

the same neighborhood several times
and ii is time it was looked into as il
is dangerous to hang things in the
yard without watching them. Parties
are snspicioned lookout will be kept.
