Loves Smooth Course Rudely In
terruntetl by n Postmaster.

l.
From the Memphis (Tsnn.) Avalanche.
A very pretty little romance was out
lined before Judge Hammond on his re-
cent trip TO Jackson. where he held
court for about week. A handsome
and .high.spirited young fellow named
]. r. Williams was on trial for violating
the postal laws. Young Williams has
very pretty sweetheart living near Jack
son to whom he wished to send hand.
some bouquet. The choicest howe in
We field we're secured by him, and
fragrant and beautiful bouquet such as
would awaken the tenderest emotions
in q young girls breast was the result.
Bright visions arose before him as to
the joy with which she would receive
the tender Message of the flowers. he
sent the bouquet through the mail as
merchandise or fourth class matter, but
.alasI he made one fatal mistake. Con-
cealed among the roses he placed q note
which was written in o way not intend
ed for any eyes but those of the young
lady.
The flowers of course passed throug h
the hands of a satanic postmaster. Nat
urally he was attracted by their beauty
and his senses were lulled by their de-
licious odor. While he was critically
examining Flora's beautiful offerings he
noticed the end of the letter peeping out
Of its bed of roses. He pulled 1t from
its hiding-place, opened 1t, and de.
voured it's contents. Now. instead OF
keeping the secret with himself, that
diabollcal United -.States official forgot
the romance of his youth and the care
lessness of loves young dream, and saw
nothing in the circumstance but vi
olation of the postal laws, which might
provide that no writing Of any kind
shall be sent with merchandise. Ac.
cordingly he had young Williams arrest
ed, and while Judge Hammond was in
Jackson the trial came on. It is said the
handsome Federal Judge, who Is not
without q touch of romance In his COM
position, had hard time wrestling with
the judicial problem before hi n. He had
been familiar with mandamuses agains
counties, processes against moonshiners
and various other kinds of criminal anG
civil procedures, but this was somethinl
novel in the law, and all his native sym
pathies were with the bey. William
pleaded guilty, and the Judge picked
out the very lowest fine prescribed by
the stature, namely $40, and imposed it
Young Williams said he did not mint
paying postage or the fine but he dis
liked intensely to have his letter read
The case aroused great interest In Jack
son, and the general sentiment there
was that President Arthur ought
bounce that Postmaster instanter.

WARRINGTON, Special Telegram, Nov 10
Gov ordway. of Dakota, arrived in the city
to-day. He says he is not taking any active
part in the appointment Of the Territorial
Judge. He is known to bo good friend Of
Judge Shannon, but seems to have good rea-
son for not pushing him for the appointment
Mr. Burrows Of Michigan is also candidate,
and is regarded with favor by tho president
Mr. Palmer Of Vermont is strongly urged by
Senator Edmunds; aud Gen. Coburn Of Indian
apolis, former representative, is very warmly
spoken Of for tho place. Postmaster General
Gresham is said to have strongly endorsed
him. Mr. Fuller OF Illinois 10 also candi-
date. Whilo Gov. Ordway did not say
which one of these gentlemen he would
prefer he does not disparase the appointment
Of any ono of them. 1t is understood that be
will, of course, favor the appointment Of the
one that agrees with him on the capital remov-
81 question. The now Judge will be on the
bench which will try tho constitntionality ofthe
appointment and acts of the commission, and
hence MI. Ordway is more deeply interested
in the result than he seoms willing to ac-
knowledge. He will also probably have some
thing to do and say about tho confirmation Of
Mccoy to the Aberdeen land Office. The
papers now on flo in tho interior department
against Mccoy will be put in tho hands
Of the senate committee in charge OF

The Brig htened Prospects.

G. w. Cuthbertson, the bonanza farmer
residing near Stephen, in Marshall county,
was on visit to st. Paul yesterday and re-
ports that the recent rains of the Red river
valley have brought marvellous results
with the wheat crop. For seven weeks
there had not been drop of moisture
from the skies and hundreds on hundreds
of acres of wheat were thought to have
gone to the dogs, all of which have bright
ened up, and the wheat crop in all the
fields in that section will now harvest from
twenty to ten bushels to the acre. Mr.. G.
asserts tnat though the average yield per
acre will be less than last year, that, on &C
count of the larger area planted, Marshall
county will yield more bushels of wheat
than in 1882. The yield per acre this year
he places in ration of from ten to twelve,
or two-twelfths less than last year. Over
the improved prospects the faces of the
agriculturists of the valley, which had
grown long and serious, have assumed
their natural happy and contented cast.
