Justice Monahan showed them into
his parlor and in the presence Of half a
dozen interested spectators the queer
ceremony was performed, he writing the
all important questions to which the
dumb couple gave affirmative answers in
writing. The groom's name is Eudorus
Harris; his residence 626 Montrose

AS the happy couple went down the
stairs bald headed attorney, who isn't
a mute himself and who didn't marry a
dumb lady, was heard to sigh audibly as
lie passed his hand over the desert space
on the top of his head.

The Floods in wisconsin.

Chicago, June l4.-A special from Eau
Claire, Wis, says sixty million feet of
logs have gone down the broken portion
of the dam, besides many houses, barns,
and so forth. The river rose twenty-one
feet, reaching the highest point ever
known. It begun to subside ut 8p. NJ.
There are one hundred and fifty million
feet at the Big Eddy Mt the Dells dam,
which seems likely to break any moment.
Loss in Chippewa valley will probably
reach half q million dollars, and if the
immense jam moves and allows the ell
tire two hundred and fifty million feet of
logs to pass out it may amount to mil
lion dollars. Many houses in the lower
part of the city are flooded, and there is
great excitement among the inhabitants.

A GOOD REPORTER.

A good reporter is always first cousin to
necromance, and can introduce himself
to you in such n genial way that, for the
time being he seems like your long lost
brother, who Is anxious to show you the
strawberry mark on his left arm in proof
OF his identity. You talk with him about
the inner secrets Of your life in a profuse
sort Of way give him your opinion about
the resumption Of specie payment, and,
as the conversation flows, freely unfold
yourself on various other matters. He sits
a silent and admiring listener, encouraging
you by a nod when you are hunting for
the right word, or possibly supplying IL
himself, and gives you the impression that
he wouldn't disclose what you have told
him-no, not for worlds on worlds The
next day you take up the paper and while
carelessly looking oyer its columns see your
own name in capitals which seem to Your
astonished gaze as long as Bunker Hill
Monument. Every word you haYe said is
there. The man with the strawberry mark
on his arm was the small end Of aspeaking
trumpet through which you unconsoiously
told the whole world about yourself. He had
no pencil or paper and did not evinee any
desire to write in shorthand. Oh, no; that
is the clumsy way in which beginners work.
His skill is not in his finger-tips, but in his
memory. lie memorized every word you
said and reproduced it with perfect accu-
racy. The accomplished reporter is as
nearly ubiquitous as a merely human be,
ing ever becomes, and is beginning to be
regarded as moral restraint in many re-
spects superior to the Decalogue. A man
in the olden time might possibly break the
Decalogue and hide the pieces, but nova
days the moment law is broken the quick
ear OF the reporter catches the sound aud
his persuasive lips compel you to tell him
all about it. He is an animated interroga-
tion point; a human corkscrew, who gets
a deeper hold on your secret every time he
turns round. His mission is summed up
in the short but terrible sentence. "If
you do Il, I'll tell" What religion can't
do the fear Of the reporter will accomplish. |

At the Army Of the Cumberland reunion
OF late, a discussion arose rs TO the next
meeting place. Nashville and ChattanLo-
ga were proposed; objection was made ON
the reasonable ground that, like gallant
men, the survivors OF that army didn't
want TO appear to be growing oyer their de-
feated antagonists. But one speaker, Col
Hunter Brook, Of Cincinnati, gave what
In the north seems a unique reason, when
he said, according TO the press reports:
That he was sure IL WOuld be embarrRss-
ing TO be down there, because the last time
he was there, some time ago, there was q
warrant issued for him for something he
mad done during the unpleasantness, and
he understood there were endless numbers
OF processes out for officers and men Of the
Union army, for things they had done
which did not suit the citizens The So

RICHMOND.

Eds, Tel.-At the present time the pub
he attention is so engrossed in the political
issues Of the present campaign, that it. is ex-
tremely difficulty to bring their minds to
bear upon the subject Of temperance, with
the assurance that they will De benefited by
their attention being again directed to that
important theme. Reform will, Of neces-
sity, therefore move slowly. For over
1900 years the gospel has been seeking to
elevate the human race, and yet millions
Of intelligent beings, upon whom God has
set his seal Of immortality, lie buried in
sin and shame. But the final victory of
every good cause, however slow and tardy
it may move at first, is only question Of
time as to its final success. For many
years a few advocates Of reform, in this
direction, haye been struggling to crush
intemperance, apparently without success,
and yet, fired by noble patriotism, have
never faltered and are still laboring for the
elevation Of the human race. The enemy
has by no means been idle, and IN somejn-
stances the number Of grOg-shOps have i'm.
creased, and the quantity OF liquors manu-
faotured in this country, and consumed by
the American people, has increased 15O
per cent. within the last 20 years. This
rapid increase Of the rum trade has not
been because there was no opposition, but
because the temperance people have in
many instances been powefless. It is not
for want Of zeal upon the part Of its advo-
Gates but arises out Of the inadeauate
means employed to effect the desired end.
Many have thought that moral suasion
was the only plan that would CONQUER in
temperance. But its virtues have often
been tested and found to be insufficient
and as often as it has been tried it has re-
suited IN the same signal defeat. No re-
Election can be cast upon its advocates for |
not giving it a thorough trial.
1t is now understood, what ought to have |
been understood years ago, that men that |
are lost to all human feelings are poor sub |
Jects Of moral suasion. The next thing |
hoped for by the lovers OF temperance was |
legislation. This also failed to accomplish |
the desired result. Our prayers have not |
been heard and If they had been answered, |
unalded by Divine Grace, would have ut |
terly failed in the redemption Of the hui
man race W.

Representative Conger, in speaking in the

vision allowing any Secretary Of War to as
sign an army officer as professor Of Law at
the Academy said: There had been q case

Of persons injured, been prosecutor. II this

had been the author of his own misfortune.
An institution would bear watching which

of the institution and he hoped it would be
redeemed and become again the pride and

VIA TERRY's LANDING, Nov. %, 1880.
To Adjutant General, Department Of Dakota
st. Paul, hinn.:
Arrived here night before last, leaving
team behind, and marching on that day about
eixty miles. Found Lieutenant Killingsbury
and party all right, having secured their po-
eition by strong rifle pits. No hostile Indi-
ans have been seen here since the 10Th inst,
and | think they have returned to Poplar
Greek. In the fight between the Grow scouts
and the attacking party on the 7th inst, one
Of the latter was Killed. His body is lying
about half o mile above the camp, and is rec
ognized as that of Little Big Load, a Yank-
tonals Of the Poplar Creek Agency. Expect
my team in tonight, and will after that scout
the country above and below for near parties.
The rations on hand here will last this COM
mand in field beyond the 18th proximo, ra-
tons should be provided at once. Every
thing needed can be bought in open market
at Carroll, if they cannot be shipped from q
depot or post. Think this the proper time to
strike any camps Of hostile Indians between
the Missouri and the boundary line. The
weather is so severe that troops will not be
looked for by them. My command consists
of five commissioned officers, 100 men, TWEEN
ty-one citizen employees and thirty-two Indi-
an scouts. | can obtain the cooperation of
about two hundred Blackfeet and Bloods,
now at Carroll, if rations are authorized to
be issued them. My messenger will wait for
nswer at Terry's landing. HGEs, MAJOR

Recall all the troops from the mouth Of
the Musselshell, SO as to reach Keogh by the

hausted. Any grain Major Ilges may have
that he does not need, and cannot readily
bring back to Keogh, order him to send to

ting Bulls force is out Of reach across the
British line, and the severity Of the season,
with the expense and difficulty Of supplies,
make further operations in that direction in
