A wronred Woman.


Elk Point Courier, IL: About four
years ago Miss Lizzie Dunn, an estima-
bic young lady quite we'll known in this
city, was living in the family of W. E.
Cation, at Cheyenne agency. Here she
became acquainted with one Frank Ken
meth, member of the twenty-second
regular infantry band. After pleasant
courtship of year or two Kenneth was
discharged. Both parties made their
way to this city and we're married at the
residence of Joseph Collins, esq. From
here they went to st. Paul aud immedi
ately commenced housekeeping. In
sholt time news came that Kenneth had
been cheated out of all his ready cash by
sharper who sold him an interest III a
stock of goods he did not own. Instead
of acting the man aud informing his new
wife of his bad luck, he deserted her and
proceeded to New York City aud enlisted
i'll the regular army. After many weeks
of earnest inquiry Mrs. X. learned that
her trnant husband was at Benton Bar.
racks. Mo. She sold her household goods
aud AS soon AZ cars could carry her met
face to face TIE man she loved. This was
year ago last September; and now
comes chapter two: Kenneth has shown
himself to be u heartless william by de
serting the army aud bis wife and child
taking with him 5000 that Mrs. Kenneth
had recently received from the upper
country, which had been left there or
interest-mouey that she had earned b!
the use OF the needle. The English Ian
gnage fails to furnish words to describ,
the character of man, or thing, VIII,
will thus blight all the future of n pur
woman. 1t ls supposed Kenneth ha
fled to Canada.

The National Committee.

HE NatlOnal COmm1ttee.
Washington, Dec. .i3-The causes which
led to the selection of Chicago and the
election of Senator Sabin by the repub-
lican committee were for the most part
beneah the suface, and will not be found
in the report of the proceedings. The
contest was largely influenced by per-
sonal and political considerations. 1t
will, perhaps, in some quarters be made
to appear that the struggle was in
great measure one between the friends OF
rival presidential aspirants. While it is
true that none of the aspirants have
avowed their candidacy, yet in the un.
dercurrent of talk connected with the
meeting but two names were prominent
" mentioned. They we're those of Presi-
dent Arthur and Gen. Logan. There
was not the slightest conceslment on
the part of the supporters of Gen. Lo.
gan. They declared that they wanted
q western man for chairman and that
they desired to have the convention at
Chicago. They used every effort to ac-
complish both objects. In the sense that
both results were accomplished they may
be regarded as successful. The friends
of President Arthur, on the other hand.
were mysterious about the wishes of the
president and insisted that no one had
any authority to speak for him. Still,
his supporters worked as actively in his
behalf as if his candidacy had been al.
uounced. The purpose of the Arthur
men was to Lave an eastern man for
chairman and have the convention at
Saratoga or Philadelphia. In the re-
spect that they failed to secure both
these points they we're unsuccessful.

The representatives OF the whisky man.
ufacturing districts of the country held o
meeting at the ways and means commit.
tee room at Washington Thursday and
decided to petition the secretary of the
treasury to exercise all possible leniency
allowed by the law in collecting taxes on
spirits at the present time. At subse.
quent meeting they prepared petition
reciting the financial distress under
which tue manufacturers of bourbon
whisky are now laborlng by reason of the
large amount of whisky coming out OF
bond. The petition also sets forth the
fact that congress will probably extend
the bonded period, and that the manu-
facturers desire that the whisky soon TO
come out may receive the benefit of such
extension.
