The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1880-08-12

A LATE dispatch from Austin, Texas,
says: The Department of the Rio Grande,
Grand Army Of Occupation, that is to be led
into Mexico by Gen. Dalrymple, has its head
quarters in this city. Gen. F. W. James has
been assigned to the command Of this de-
partment, which embraces Texas, California
and the Territories OF Arizona and New
Mexico. They have 800 men enrolled in this
county, all under experienced officers. The
movement is assuming alarming proper
tions, and if not checked by the General and
State Governments is going to cause serious
tronble.

A Treasure Wagon.

THE removal of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, at Washington,
to a building half a mile from the
Treasury has made it necessary to pro-
vide new arrangements for the transfer
of money and bonds between the two
establishments. The Department has
had constructed heavy, van-like wag-
on, 4 sort of vault on wheels, built of
iron and steel, and arranged internally
like bank vault with sheet-iron lin
ing. The doors are fastened with ire
mendous bolts, and the locks are of the
combination order. The body\of the
vehicle is painted an olive color with
gilt ornamentation. When drawn
through the streets by two immense
horses it attracts considerable attention,
especially as it is always accompanied
by five armed agents of the Treasury
Department, two guarding the front
and three the rear.

"A hog killed and ate some of the
Rev. Bryant RansOm's fine chickens, at
Mount Vernon, Ohio. The annoyed
clergyman caught the brute and cut out
one of its eyes. He had intended to de-
strdy its sight entirely, SO that it could
see no more chickens to catch, but
through pity he left the job half com
pleted. His congregation, however, do
not credit him with much mercy, and
have resolved to put him on trial for the
act

OssIN ALDRICH, of the Signal Corps,
was married in New York last March to Miss
Julia E. Hooper, a beautiful girl, whose
parents objected TO the match. The young
couple removed to Cincinnati, where they
lived for a while, apparently contented.
Aldrich then took his wife to her home, and
soon thereafter sent her a letter, stating that
he had been ordered on an Arctic expedition
and would not return for several years. She
made inquiry at Washington and
found that he had been stationed
at Mobile, Ala, and that he had
another wife and several children. This dis
closure FRUSTRATED her, and, after painful
interview with him at Mobile, where she
made oath that she had not been married to
him in order to secure his retention in the
service, she returned to Cincinnati. She
died there few days since, as her physicians
report, of broken heart. Aldrich has been
suspended, pending official inquiry into the
matter.

A FIRE broke out in a husk mattress
factory in Philadelphia on the Sd, and owing
to the inflammable nature Of the contents Of
the building it was threatened
with speedy destruction. During the
panic incident to the first alarm, two
young women, named Emma Banes, aged
81, and Ellen Oglesby, aged p, jumped from
the fourth floor, on which they were at work,
directly into the brick-paved yard at the
rear Of the house. Miss Banes was badly in
jured about the head and body, but will
probably recover. Miss Oglesby's injuries
were fatal.

The Utica convention failed to adopt a
party platform, excepting an alleged ne
cessity for the nomination Of Grant, and
it is thus explained by the New York
Times:
AS there will be no other State con-
vention this year, good opportunity
was lost to place the Republican party
of the State in line with the most advan-
ced principles Of party policy. Perhaps
the chief reason for the omission was a
desire to avoid the embarrassing neCes.
sity of any reference to the work of the
present administration. The caution
was more characteristic Of the polite
ian than the statesman; but in this, as in
other respects, there is the consolation
that if the convention failed to reach
ideal excellence, at least it maintained
certain level of moderation, fairness and
common sense, which has not always
characterized party councils held under
similar auspices.

WRECKED.
REV, ABRAM RYAN,

The winds are singing death-knell
Out on the main tonight;
The sky droops low-and many bark,
That sailed from harbOrs bright,
Like many an one before
Shall enter port no more:
And wreck shall drift to some unknown shore
Before to-morrow's light
The clouds are hanging death.pall
Over the sea tonight,
The stars are veied-and the hearts that sailed
Away from harbOrs bright
Shall sob their last for their quiet home
And sobblng, sink meath the whlrlIng foam
Before the mornings light.
The waves are weaving q deaths
Out on the main tonight
Alas the last prayer whispered there
By lips with terror white
Over the ridge Of gloom
Not star will loom
God help the souls that will meet their doom
Before the dawn Of light.
The breeze Is singing Joy song
over the sea to-day
The storm is dead-and the waves are red
With the flush of the mornings ray;-
And he sleepers sleep, but beyond the deep.
The eyes that watch for the ships, shall weep
For the hearts they bore away.
