A Significant Incident.

In one Of battles of the late war,
young Doctor D., then a volunteer
captain in the Union Army, led his
men up to hand-to.hand fight with
a Confederate regiment.
II never" said the captain, chad
killed man before. It was a mass
ofmen fought-an idea, the whole
South--not the individual.
"WAen found myself, therefore,
slashing away at stout, blus-eyed
fellow, who might be some woman's
husband, and some childs father, l
confess my courage gave way. lac
tually shut my eyes as ] hacked des-
perately at him with my sword. His
arm fell helplessly, and he dropped
from his horse. 7''
"An hour later, l saw him in the
surgeons tent. The arm had been
amputated and lay upon the floor.
AS the man was carried away saw

Of camel coal. 1t looked to me like a
childs work, and l drew it off and fol-
lowed the wounded soldier, determin-
ing to restore it. But in the confusion
of the battle field / lost sight Of him.
The sequel to this story is as fol-
lows: In the summer of 1878, when
the yellow fever was raging in the
South, Dr. D--was one Of the Nor
thorn physicians who answered the
call for aid.
He went to Memphis and labored
for weeks among tho sick and dying.
Among the patients broughtto the hos
p,tal was Colonel c., a man with
one arm. I
Something familiar in the mans
hohest face troubled our doctor. He
gave his constant care to him, both
nursed and prescribed for him, and
finally saw him recover. The two mcr
became warmly attached.
One evening when the Colonel wal
able to leave his bed, they took supper
together. DR.. D. suddenly drew
from bis pocket black ling and laiC
it on the table.
"Why, this is mine!" exclaimed tn
colonel. "My boy Dick cut that 70
me thirteen years ago"
"Then it was l who cut of you
arm." said D..
The men arose and faced each othe
silently moment, and then thei
hands met in a hearty clasp. Th
strife was over, and the true men wer
true brothers again.

Leslie Hitch is q deservedly popu-
lar fellow, because he is energetic and
clever, and is not spring chicken.
He has been married since last Satur-,
day evening although bat few Of his
friends know it. His bride is brave
young girl who concluded to marry
the man she loved, whether
her father consented or not. And
she was perhaps right. When a young
fellow has been constant a long time
and shows the good qualities that
Les. shows, there is something In
him which calls for appreciation.
The young lady in the case was Miss
Fannie Grant, who is only about
eighteen years old, and the daughter
of John Grunt, of Jefferson Avenue.
The two young people had been
excepting company a year or more |;
but lately the old man put in an OBJ
jection, and not only refused to sane
ton the marriage, but forbade their
meeting. They did meet, however,
in spite of all this. In fact all young
people have q way of their own in
managing these things. They ar
ranged 10 slip off and get married one
evening last week. Last Saturday
their union was hastened by the
news that Mr.. Grant was going to
send his daughter away to complete

went at ence to the Clerks Office and
got license, and made Deputy Clerk
Welborn swear OH the ten command
ments that the reporters should not
see the license.

Some time prior to the war a young
couple met and loved. Alter short
cuurtship they were married and lived
happily together. Children came to
bless the union, and they prospered
well. When the war broke out his
patriotic soul would not allow him to
stay at home, and he shouldered
musket and sought the battlefield in
the defense of his country. Letters
came regularly for time, and then
ceased entirely. Word was sent home
at first that he had been taken prisoner,
and soon after the dread news came
that he was dead, The news was con-
sidered 80 authentic that the Govern.
ment allowed the widow and her
children a pension. After a reason
able time she listened to the plcadings
OF another suitor and married him.
They came to Atlantic, where her
father is an honored citizen, having
moved here from the eastern Iowa
town which had been the home of the
family. The second husband proved
to be a worthless drunkard, and after a
time spent in mutual pickering, she
got a divorce on the, ground OF intem-
perance and general cussedness, SO to
speak. Not content with her bad
luck, she concluded to marry again,
this time man who Was even worse
feature than her second husband, and
who deliberately shook the dust OF
his feet and "lit out" between two
days, after living with her for time.
In the meantime quiet unassuming
man had come to Atlantic and hired
to prominent contractor here. He
formed an acquaintance with the
lady and her husband, dropping in at
various times to spend an evening,
and was on intimate terms generally.
To have seen him no one would have
thought for moment he was acting
ont Il strange romance. Time passed
on, the husband skipped out, as a'ore-
said. One evening after little pre-
liminary conversation, he revealed
himself to the astonishe.l woman.
lie was the veritable first husband. 50
long considered dead, on account OF
which the pensions were still coming
to the children. Explanations followed,
in which it appeared that he had, after
being released written several, letters
home, but the family having moved
from their former home, and despair
ing of again hearing from them he let
the matter rest. lie came co Atlantic
without the slightest idea that he
would meet any one he had ever seen,
but recognized his former wife at once
Finding that the recognition was not
mutual, he concluded not to disturb
the couple, but went on with his dali
ly duties as of old. gDeL
The above are the facts in the case
as given us by the attorney for the wo-
man. What tho outcome Of this
strange affair will be we have no idea,
nor do we believe have the parties
themselves. We have not mention
ed any names, because the lady is
