Col. Thos. j. Whipple, who was made
one of the Vice Presidents from New
Hampshire of the Mexican Veterans AS

Of him. During the war he commanded
the Fourth New Hampshire Infantry, and
during season of temporary inactivity.
while the regiment was down in Virginia.
a Connecticut regiment in the same bri-
gade experienced some religious excite.
ment, and many were converted. The
chaplain of the Connecticut regiment. an
earnest and God-fearing man, wanted to
extend his influence, and so called upon
Col. Whipple to see if he could not obtain
permission for the New Hampshire men
to attend the religious meetings in his
camp. He was enthusiastic over the work
in which he was engaged and the good
results obtained, and depicted in glowing
terms the benefits resulting from the
meetings.
"Why. Col. Whipple," said he, in clos
ing his appeal, 81 baptized five men In my
regiment this morning."
"Baptized five of your men!" said Col.
Whipple. Chow long has this thing been
going on?'
''We have been holding meetings about
a week"

mained all night, While DR.. Wakefield
went to the house of a friend. The next
morning Mrs. johnson was found dead in
bed in her own room. 1t was pronounced
case of suicide, and Capt. johnson re-
turned to Tennessee. Within the last few
days the matter has been reopened, Capt.
Johnson's tather-in-law, DR.. Griffith,
having charged the former with having
killed his wife.
DIR. Griffith says that Capt. Johnson re-
turned to the house during the night, pre-
sented to his wife letter, which he forced
her to copy, and which he left where it
was found, and that he then shot and
killed her and escaped by the front door,

also claims that while Capt. johnson was
at West Haden Springs he became ac-
qualnted with young woman and repre-
sented to her that he was unmarried; that
they corresponded, but friend OF the fam
lily put stop to it.
Dr. Grlthth also charges that johnson
carried OFF jewelry worth $4,000, which
had been In the family for years, together
with all the solid silverware, leaving the
plateware behind. Capt. johnson, who
returned here to-day, was surprised when
informed Of the charges made against
MIN, and said that he would without diff

Iolna State Leader.


A new industry has taken root in Omaha
which is startling in its full development
when one thinks to what results il may
lead. 1t is nothing more nor less than a
new rival for liquors, being a palatable
and invigOrating substitute. The Omaha
Inl0R has the following account of it.
.The beef-tea trade is looking up said a
dispenser of drinks to Union reporter,
when the latter had dropped into the
place under the impression that it was
the rooms of the Young Mems Christian
Association, ''What has beef tea got TO
do with YOUR businessV asked the scribe.
'.Since the early part of last fall there has
been a demand for beef tea at this
bar. At first we laughed at the
idea OF going to the trouble of
making it, but now we laugh because we
do make it. We sell over 100 drinks per
day. and as il is a I5-cent drink there is
no reason why we should not smile. Who;
drinks it, do you say? Why, everybOdyt
the man about town who has been out
with the bows comes in here in the morn
ing and calls for beef tea; the business
man comes in the afternoon and braces
his system with beef tea; the temperance
man who drops IN with bibulOus friend
takes beef tea; and, in fact, everybody is
becoming a slave 10 the mixed bovine.
The sick even are very sensibly forsaking
the drug stores and coming here for beef
tea. preferring il to the nauseating mix
lures put up by the druggist and ordered
bv the family physician. Why, if the
tea only holds out we will wreck every
drug store in the city. The possibilities
from this are many. Beef tea IS at once
a tonic and food. 1t does not corrode the
stomach and fire the brain. 1t does not
madden, and vet it exhilarates and
strengthens. Hail to the drink of the fu-
furpf Hail beef tea.

A SALVATION WEDDING.
The Nuptials of Capt. Jolly and Capt.
Rainey,

Trenton v. d. Special, Dec. II.
About 100 salvation soldiers sat on the
platform in the Chancery lane barracks
in this city tonight The lads and Iasses
were all in uniform. Major Moore, the
head of the army in America, presided.
The occasion of the gathering was the
hallelujah wedding of Capt. Mary Ann
Jolly, of Trenton, to Capt. Samuel Rainey,
of New York. The Mayor and other city
officials had been invited, but did not
come. Capt jolly had her salvation bon
net tied down and trimmed with a red
frill. She wore a knot of flowers at her
throat and a continual blush on her at
tractive face. The exercises began with
singing and prayer, with which
continual shouting was mingled.
About every five minutes somebody would
say, ''Oh, what jolly time we are hav-
ing" Then everybody would laugh, and
Capt. jolly would blush more than ever.
Once i'm a while the enthusiasm ran so
high that the soldiers had to stand on the
benches. After an hour and half of sing
ing and shouting, the two Captains who
were candidates for matrimony stood ur,
one on each side of Major Moore. A gray
haired lass with spectacles stood by the
bride. A little soldier whose chin reached
only to Capt. ROmalss' shoulder, but
whose enthusiasm touched the ceiling
was gro0msman. Two soldiers waved
salvation banners over the couple. Mai.
Moore read a long ritual, which started
off with a solemn promise that neither
married the other solely for his or her own
pleasure, but for the help of the army.
Then Capt. Rainey promised to take this
woman to be his wife, to love and to cher
ish in sickness and health, and Capt.
jolly took Capt. Rainey's and repeated
the same formula. Maj. Moore produced
a ring, and there were more formulas.
Finally the two were pronounced man
and wife, and the enthusiasm broke loose

Herr Most's speech was of most incen-

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Prospeets for Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-There has al
ready been much quiet talk in Congress
sional circles regarding the various postal
telegraph projects which have been
brought forward. All of the bills except
one, that of Congressman Sumner, of Cali
fOrnia, have been introduced by Re-
publicans. Inquiry develops the fact
that the prevailing opinion among the
Democrats is decidedly hostile to the
proposed legislation, and that there
will be among the Republicans active and
formidable opposition to all of the schemes
for the establishment of q government
telegraph, either by leasing the service or
constructing new lines. 1t is not i'm
probable, however, that the Senate Post
Office Committee will report to the Senate
a bill relating to the subject, which will
be made the basis Of an elaborate debate.
The indications are that none of the bills
proposed. or those which will be intro
duced. will receive the favorable consid-

elaborate style, he set out from his hotel
for the place of meeting, recognizing the
spot by a diagram he had received in the
course of his correspondence, but, instead
of meeting the young lady, he fell into the
hands of a dozen boys, who took him to
pond on the United States Government
Asylum grounds. The day had been ra-

chilly. He begged, but the boys had no
compassion. They divided into squads,
and each squad took its turn at ducking
the drummer in the pond. At midnight
he c:ept into the hotel dripping wet. This
morning he purchased new clothing, and
quit the town, begging that the story
should not be made public. Charles

NEGRO PHENOMENON.
Human Skin that Constantly Changes
Its Color.

pD|fVyW6tU NO.l UtOO6.
In this town there lives a young girl
who is and OF right ought to be mulatto,
but the color of whose skin is constantly
changing from deep brown to a snowy
white and back again to its original hue.
She lives at No. 107 Scott street, and is the
daughter OF well-to-dO drayman named
James Keemer. The transition is not eff
tected by a slow process of uniform fad
ing, but by the appearance of successive
white spots which finally mOnOpolize the
entire surface. 1t follows that at certain
stages OF this transformation the girl pre-
sents an exceedingly striking aspect. The
reporter, who was recently admitted to an
inspection of the phenomenon, remarks (:
Very often the neighbOrs say they are
accustomed to seeing the child run about
during the warm weather with one foot
and ankle as dark as any little colored
girPs need be, and the other as white as
that OF the fairest lady in the land. FIRE.
quently one hand is a dark mulatto color,
while the other will be spotlessly white
and almost transparent. Often the child's
face will be entirely white but the eyelids,
they retaining their usual color. When
she closes her eyes the effect is striking.
Quite as often the face will be entirely
brown and the eyelids alone white, giving
the girl an unearthly appearance when the
lids are down." If Mr.. Barnum is wise
he will relinquish his ambition to possess
white elephant, and secure instead a
spotted attraction which would cause
every leopard in his show to blush with
shame
