nomination was Gen. T. T. Fauntleroy, a
Colonel in the regular army of the u. S.
before the war, but who resigned ut the be-
ginning of the conflict and offered HIS ser.
vices to Virginia. Gen. Fanntleroy was q
warm admirer of Gen. Hancock, and in
1876 wrote an article FOR our paper in
which be- ably presented the claims Of Gen
Hancock for the position afterwards a. :
signed to Mr.. Tilden. Gen. Fauntleroy
was greatly rjOiced 10 hear that his friend
Gen. Hancock, had received the nomina-
nation for President, and when this infor-
nation was supplemented with state
ment that John W. Daniel had secondtd
his nomination with speech that electro
fed the Cincinnati Convention, Gen.
FauntlerOy exclaimed: "Egad, will for

A ROMANCE IN THE HANCOCK FAM
LY.-The nomination of General Han.
cock has revived the recollection of ro-
nance in his family, the Lero of which
was the Generals only son, Russell Han
cock. now prosperous cotton planter in
Mississippi. Seven or eight years ago,
when quite boy, he was living In Louis
vile and had fallen in love with a young
girl whose father having been a rebel,
would. not allow her to receive the ad-
dresses OF q son of a Yankee soldier,
Young Hancock was forbidden the house,
and the father was preparing to take his
daughter to Europe to insure separation.
The youthful pair, however, one evening
met ae . party in Louisville, and by SUI
den agreement they stole across the river
to Jacksonville, reused up preacher,
who married them in the silence If mid
Eight, and stole back to their dwellings
The lady remained in her fathers house,
received young company. was seen III soci-
ETY. with young gentlemen escorts, and
met her husband as mere friend in the
presence OF others. The news leaked on. :.
however; the young bride did not go to
Europe, and the pair lived at a boarding
house in Louisville for about year. The
marriage was surprise to his parents, as
well as hers, but Russell's mother became
fond Of her, as did also his grandmother,
Mrs. Russell. who lives in u cou"try home
near Louisville. The father of the runa-
way girl did not become reconciled, but
her mother aud sisters visited the young
bride daily; and her husband Was a great
favOrite with them from his frank and
merry moods. The friends Of the parties
all agree that the marriage has proved "a
very happy one.

A GAME BIRD The jay birds that make
their home in the grounds OF the W. L
Asylum. having already whipped out that
game little bid, the English sparrow, I'M
dertook on Sunday afternoon last to tackle
some larger game, in fact, nothing less
than a minister Ut the gospel. 1t seems
that little jay bird fell out of its nest to
the turf near the edge of the side walk.
The mother bird was flying around it anxi-
ously, when Rev. W. E. Baker, who was to
preach al the Asylum that evening, came
up tht walk. and she without provocation
ATTACKED him violently, flying at his head
and striking him vigorously with her
wings, about the head and face. The sur
prised cler yman retired at once from the
field As a fighter the blue jay will lead
any bird in the field.
