BATTLING FOR A BRIDE.
2he Conqueror Mach Surprised to Find
Himself the Loser,

The Congueror Mach Surprised to Find
Himself the Loser,
Little Rock Gazette.
Tom Ross and Abe Garland, both colored
employed on farm in Scott county, were
much enamored of dusky maiden, both
were engaged to her, and both were
determined to marry her. Abe did
not know that Tom had gained the
girls affections, and Tom was
equally ignorant, while the girl, of course,
was pretty well up with the times. The we'd
ding day was appointed. Both men dressed
as bridegroom. The home of the girl
was scene of matrimonial conviyialitY,
such as can only be truly presented at
a colored wedding. The two lovers ar
rived almost simultaneously. Tom, see
ing Abe, approached him and said he
was very happy to see him there, and
extended his hand. All the prejudice melted
from Abes heart, and he grasped the hand
of his former rival and shook it cordially.
The time for the ceremony arrived. The
girl all this time had been consulting with
her mother. When she came out both men
approached her, and when they saw

other with tiger like fury. Here the
old gentleman, who had hitherto left the af'
fair to his wife, said that if the men were
gong to fight they would have to do SO fair
". He didn't WANT foul work at his daugh-
ter's wedding. 1t was then agreed that the
men should fight with their fists. They TOOK
their positions. The old man gave the
signal, and the young men sprang at each
other. There was very little physical
difference between them, and the
combat was interesting. Finally Abe
threw Tom. Tom arose. Abe struck him 9
heavy blow and felled him. This decided
the fight, and when Tom had been lifted
from the ground, the girl came with basin
of water, and, while bathing Tom s face, an
nounced to the company that she had decid
ed to marry the whipped man. Then Abe
became furious and swore that he had beer
whipped, but as he could not prove it, Tom
became the husband.

A COLONIZING SCHEME.


Extraordinary Pririleges asked.
Mr.. Barber, of Chicago, has introduced q
bill in the house to extend the powers of the
Anglo-American Land and China association,
of Illinois, and to promote colonization up
on public domain. The bill, in preamble,
sets forth that this association is DESTROYS of
charging its powers and usefulness in pro-
noting emigration upon public
domain and other unoccupied land of the
United States, ard asks the aid of the gov
ernment in securing benefits which may re-
suit from colonization upon these lands. 1t
authorizes the association to explore, locate,
and improve lands, transport emigrants
and merchandise, construct homes, form
settlements, prospect for mineral claims,
improve and work the same,
and conduct immigration from foreign
countries and all parts of the United States

other person or persons, whether incorporat-
ed or otherwise, for the purpose of carrying
out its projects. 1t may be located for
colonization purposes upon lands
not exceeding one million acres, in tracts of
not less than five thousand acres. Upon
filing any such location with the commits
sioner of the general land Office, which must
correspond with subdivisions of the general
system of surveys, the tracts shall be with
drawn from sale or entry by the United
States for the term of five years. The asso-
citation, its successors or assignees, may at
any time within five years from the
filing of such location, enter any of
said lands in the same manner and conditions
that other public lands are or may be en-
tered; but such entry shall not exceed six
hundred and forty acres for each family
which shall become actual settlers on such
tract at any time. Within five years from
the filing of any such location, association

the general land Office is directed to pre-
scribe such regulations as may be necessary

The Opere House Entertainment.

The Graves combination closed their en-
gagement here last night, having performed
in "Qusen's Evidence at the matinee and in
''The Soldiers Trust" in the evening. The
attendance at both entertainments was light,
owing, probably, to the inclemency of the
weather. Both plays, however, passed off
smoothly, and though there was lack Of num-
bers there was not lack of enthusiasm before
the curtain. Mr.. Boriface, while adding
nothing to his we'll earned reputation, sus-
tanned it fully. Mr.. Graves as Frochard was
admirable, while all the support was precisely
what the most exacting could require. 1t is
to be regretted that SO excellent company
did not receive more generous support.

The House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1l.-Mr. Price submitted
a report of the committee on banking and cur
rency upon the affairs of the German National
bank of Chicago. 1t states that the testimony
taken demonstrates that great irregularity had
been produced. So far as the comptroller of
currency and receiver were concerned the testl-
mony indicated disposition on their part to
protect the stockholders and creditors. In the
opinion of the committee the principal cause
of failure was that the directors utterly failed
in their duty. The committee recommends
that the national

it is to elect directors shall in no case be re-

Boston Post.
The Chicago merchants are making a
vigorous effort to obtain change of legis-
lation to secure what they call direct i'm
portation. A bill has been presented in the
House by Mr.. Alarich, and in the Senate by
Mr.. Logan, involving radical changes IN ex-
isting laws, as follows: First, the abolition
of the importers bond, and the retention of
the carriers bond; second, the adj
mission of wines and spirits in bulk and ex-
plosive articles to the privilege of transpor-
tation without appraisement; third, the abo-
lition of entry at the seaboard. 1t is claim
ed that interior importers do not now enjoy
equal rights aud privileges with those of the
seaboard, and this new plan ia designed to
remove this inequality and facilitate the
business of the former. A large meeting
has been held In Chicago
in aid of the change repre-
senting capital to the amount Of fifty mil
liors. Chicago, it is said, exports yearly
forty millions worth of goods, aud imports
only three millions worth, which fact is cited
as showing something wrong in the present
system. It is claimed that Congress looks
with great favor on the proposed change.
One speaker stated that be
had seen more than Que hundred
members, majority of whom favored the
bill, and that he was satisfied the committee
on ways and means would report in its favor.
That some modification of the present laws
might we'll be made is, perhaps, admissible,
but radical and sweeping change ought not
to occur without thorough examination and
careful elaboration. The subject is we'll
worthy the attention of the merchants and
commercial men of this city, and certainl y
of the administration.

The Bayard boom seems to have climbed
the golden stair. The gun that he loaded
with the ammunition furnished by the Pres
ident and his financial secretary kicked hard
when it was discharged, and did more exc.
cution at the butt than at the muzzle. In
stead of knocking the life out of the green
back circulation, as MIR. Bayard intended, it
did the business for his own Presidential as
pirations. The government note is as good
as gold, but the Bayard checks on the White
House seems to lack the legal tender quail
ity.
