Division Of the Atlantic, where, with
the exception Of three years in command
Of the division Of Dakota, he has since

reproof was dreaded and his require

EARLY MARRrhans

VI course young people ought to mar
~ early, and build up a home together.
Inc idea that man must be wealthy be-
lore he weds fills the community with
lortune-seeking bachelors and unhappy
splnsters; it endangers virtue, destroys
srue economy and design, and the
oenehcent Intentions Of the home. It
promotes vice, idleness, inefficiency and
mOecility among females, who seem,
nom an unsympathetic outset thencefor-
ward to expect to be taken up by fort
une and passively sustained, and without
any concern on their part. 1t is thus
, .nat a man finds it difficult to obtain a
helpmeet.

THE GRATEFUL GAMBLER.


The cool, unAinching gaze of a brave
man, it is said, will awe a tiger. The
statement is perhaps an exaggerated
one, but we will tell an incident of
man who awed human tiger.
Some forty years ago, the citizens of
.Natchez, aroused by the excesses of the
gamblers infesting their city, drove them
out and threatened them with death if
they ever returned. Prominent among
these citizens was Capt. Quitman,
leading lawyer of Natchez. Amonth or
two later, he and small band Of men
crossed into Texas to aid those who were
fighting Santa Anna and his Mexicans.
Late one night Quitman arrived at
San Augustine, where he found the
people overawed by large gang of
gamblers, some OF whom had lately
come from Natchez. They recognized
him and resolved to have revenge.
Quit1nan quartered his men in large
building, while he occupied room in
an adjacent house. He had just taken
off his coat, when the door was thrown
violently open. A tall, fierce-looking
man entered. In his belt was bowie
knife, and in his right hand he held
pistol.
Fortunately, Quitman had not laid
aside his belt-pistols, and drawing one
he raised it quickly, SO that the man
was covered by it. - aH
II know you and you know me-" he
said, looking the gambler calmly in the
eye. II desire no quarrel with you,
but / don't fear YOU"
The gambler glared at him for mo-
ment, and then, his features relaxing
into smile, said
Captain, you're brave man, and /
will be your friend" and he retired
quietly, closing the door after him.
A few weeks after, the war being at
an end, Capt Quitman was returning
home overland, accompanied only by
his negro servant. Crossing a small
stream, and mounting the bank, which
had dense underwood on both sides, he
found two trees felled across the path.
Suspecting that he was in trap, he
turned and saw three men, armed with
guns, coming up in the rear. He could
neither advance nor retreat.
Instantly springing to the ground, he
drew his pistol, and placed the horse
between himself and the robbers. The
sharp crack Of a rifle behind him, and
the rush Of the ball over his head,
eaued him to turn. Seeing the gambler
whom he had met at San Augustine gal
loping his horse at full speed toward
him, he prepared to sell his life as
dearly as possible.
The man, dropping his gun to show
that he was not an enemy, approached.
Recognizing Quitman, he said:
Captain, I'm mighty glad I had the
chance to serve you. land my partners
were coming this way, and I, being in
the advance, saw, as L turned the angle
Of the path, the situation. Let's see if
hit one of those robbers"
On searching, they found traces of
blood, but no signs of the robbers.
Some years after, this gambler was
convicted Of gambling, and sentenced
to SIX months Imprisonment and 81 900
fine. Quitman paid one-half Of the fine.
Inc gambler, 1T is said, subsequently
reformed, and became an estimable man,
respected by ali who lrnavy him

Terrible Explosion

CARDIFF, December 10.-A great
explosion occurred this morning at
Penygraig new collierv, in Rhondda
Valley. 1t Is believed eighty-seycn
persons have perished. An explor-
ing party discovered sixteen corpscs.
The search is impeded by after
damp and debris. The pit is about
a mile from the scene OF the great
explosion in Dina's colliery. in the
same valley, January 13. 1878, when
about sixty persons lost their lives.
3:3O p. m.-The explosion at the
Penygraig colliery occurred at 1:4O
this morning. The shock was so
violent that it was felt for miles
around, and the damage was so
great that the explorers were not
able to descend into the mine for
some hours. One shaft is choked
up, and there is not the slightest
hope Of saving any of the eighty
men and eighteen horses still in the
pit. -Four men have been brought
up alive.
$50 p. MT is now ascertdined
that eighty-six Of the persons who
were in the pit at the time Of the
explosion are dead. Seven corpscs
have been brought up thus far, but
many others have been discovered
and will bc raised this evening.
Another dispth says: One hun
dred men were in the colliery ut the
time. The shock Of the explosion
was felt for miles around, the earth
shaking as if there were an earth
quake. There are also eighteen
horses in the pit. which Is four hun
dred and fifty yards in depth. The
most intense excitement prevails
throughout the district. All roads
and approaches to the colhery are
thronged with waiting men, women
and children. The cries of the poor
people whose relatives are imprison-
ed are heart-rending. Many volun-
teers offered to Join the exploring
party, but up to nine o'clock no at
tempt was made to descend the
shaft. The colliery is owned by
Messrs. Rowland and Morgna. Pen
ygraig pit is within half a mile of
Dina's collery, where the bones cf
the victims OF January Is, 1878, re
main unrecoved.
Twenty-Five bodies have been re-
covered SO far and thirty-four have
been seen in the pit.

Trouble on the.BOrdcr.

ARKANSAS CITY, December 10
Payne's colony remained in camp
on the territory line last night,
hanked by Lieutenant Mason and
forty-eight blue coats of the Fourth
cavalry. Mason, by invitation, visited
Payne's headquarters and read his
orders to the assembled colonists,
after which PAYNE delivered an ad-
dress, thanking General Pope for a
military escort, but notifying Lieu
tenant Mason that it was the inten-
ton of the colonists to move into Ok
lahomo at any hazard. There was
manifest good feeling and fraterniz-
ing between the troops and the en-
igrants. This morning the colOnists
were on military dress parade and
inspection, and the stars and stripes
at the right of the line. The emf
grants are determined to 90 to Okla
hOma at any cost, and should the
troops oppose, or as anticipated kill
their horses, or attempt to destroy
their outfit, there will be bloody
conflict. The colonists broke up
camp at 10 o'clock and are now
moving westward on the Kansas
line. All they desire is that Con-
gress should act with promptness
and decision in fixing the status of
the ceded lands. Hundreds of col
onists are moving towards the ter
ritory from other points. The Pom
cas- and Nez Perces have been stir
red up by emissaries from the agen-
cies and are threatening to take the
war path and massacre the emf
grants. The popular feeling on the
Kansas border is that the President
shall qualify his proclamation, so
as to give the colonists military
escort through the Cherokee strip
and permit them to settle upon the
government lands from which the In
dian title waa eXtinguished by pur-
chase.

Common Pleas No. =, Yesterday.
These are the suits in which the
plaintiffs refused to compromise at
