How a Sh0shone Secured His Bride.
Eureka Leader. /

Eulthu iItbutAsI
At the recent grand fandango of
the Indians at Cariboo Flat, mum
ber of betrothals were effected,
which, as q general thing, made the
parties 30 mated man and wife I'M
mediatcly. But an instance has
since occurred which goes to prove |
that the proverb which says that
true love never runs smooth Is of
universal application, and applies
rs readily to aboriginal engage
mcnts as to that of the pale face.
II seems that one maid who had
given her hand to young buck
while circling around in the big
dance would not carry out'he part
of the contract then made. Tho
amorous Shoshone warrior, how
ever, did not relinquish his effort
to obtain absolute possession OF
his love, but she continued to fight
him off until few days ago, when
the entire tribe, or that part of it
who loaf in this neighborhood, de-
termined to put an end to the
struggle, and forced the dusky
maiden TO surrender herself to her
liege lord. We ought not to say
that she surrendered, for that is
: not exactly the case. 1t was about
+ time for the Il. and p. train to
: leave the depot, and there were
D probably 40 or 80 persons collect
. ed there. They were surprised to
> see crowd of Indians, with the
refractory bride in their midst
u kicking and squealing at a great
L rate, while as many of the bucks
L as could well get hold of her were
. . pushing her off over the summit o
" the opposite hill to the campood,
Q of her lover. II is needless to sa,
II that her lover himself had a gril
u on her with the rest. Tho crow'
p at the depot looked on with con
II siderable interest, not knowing
o what was up. Their interest wa
"a not diminished when the Indians
"a minus the pair plighted TO eac'
u other at the. .fandango, came stroll
e. ing back in great glee and explair
q ed to them what we have explaine
~ to the reader.

An Adirondack Romance.
[Saratoga journal. |

Saratoga Journal.
In the AdirOndaeks recently
there occurred the marriage of
Emma Camp, the dusky daughter
of Elijah Camp, the Indian guide,
and Gabriel Meade, of Westches-
ter county. The bronze beauty of
the Oneidas, who gave her untried
affections to the pale face who
came into the forest to WOO her,
is IL years old, pretty, yivacious
aud intelligent. She has caught
the fancy for the nOnce of many
mighty hunters who broke bread
with her father while pursuing the
game of the endless woods to
their lair. Her mother was a white
woman, living at Saratoga Springs.
Both were here last Saturday.
The object of their visit was in
relation to some legal business,
which was transacted for the In
dian maiden by her counsel, Gene.
raj Charles Hughes, of Sandy Hill.
In December last the hand of the
beauty was won by Meade, and
they were duly and regularly mar.
ried. lie lived with her until May
last, when the fckle youth aban'
doned her, and then commenced
an action for a decree Of nullity
Of the marriage contract on the
ground that he was under the in
fluence of alcoholic stimulant'
when he was married to the blush
ing maiden of II summers. 1t il
understood that Meade's famil,
and relatives, who are in aflluen
circumstances, disapproved of tn
I. marriage and urged him to reliev
! himself of his Adirondack wife
the Indian girl must go.
t General Charles Hughes had th
{ place of trial of the suit change
n to Saratoga county, and on Satul
g day, before Judge Bockes, he wa
:. made her general guardian. w
/. understand that Mcade's friend
n had made offers to give Enn
! Meade, nee Camp, a cool Slo,O'
q in hard aud shining gold II ST
y, will not put in any defense to Il
Ie suit, and thus allow him to ha'
le marriage contract nulliiied. IT
ir also understood that she has su
IN stantially agreed to take the PR
fered amount, believing that 81
d. OO0is preferable to a drunken pa
h, face husband. Meade need n
h. have been ashamed of his attra
,f. i've bride, who is a young won
at of fine presence, and is higl
or spoken of by those who are
or. quainted with her. Though Ind

The Richmond and DanyllIe.
lTimes-Democrat.l

Yesterday the racket reporter
was shown a letter from one of
the general officers of the Rich
mond and Danville road, who ac-
knowledges that the road has been
purchased by u number of capi-
talists of high standing, but denies
that Mr.. Seney, of the famous syn
dicate, has anything to do with the
purchase. He also declares that
there will be no consolidation be-
tween the Richmond and Danville
and the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia roads. In face OF all
the articles published by the'finan
cial and railway journals, this dc
nial appears strange; consequent
ly it is difficult matter TO decide
what to believe. The letter fur
ther stated that the Richmond
and Danville was now in a splen''it
financial condition, and would b,
operated as in the past.

Governor SuIIivan's Mother.

An anecdote which heard the
other day of the famous Sullivan
family of New England may not
be uninteresting here:
When that sturdy Irish woman
to whom the Sullivan family may
well look back with pride, was
crossing the Atlantic on her way
to the new country, and was ask
ed 'tWhy do you come to Amer
icafn she answered, ITO raise
Governors for them,n little think
ing that she would live to see one
of her sons Governor of New
Hampshire and another Governor
of Massachusetts, though | am
sorry to say the third did not so
much honor to his family, and was
known as Devil Jim.n The story
ooes that soon after John Sullivan
rose to be Governor of New
Hampshire, he desired to give a
grand dinner to a number OF dis
tinguished guests. A member oil
the family at the time was his
mother, and fearing she would not
be equal to the occasion, he con
F, cluded it would be best to arrange
: for her non.appearance at the din
, ner table.
Approaching the matter as gen
. tly as possible, he soon succeeded
in making the quick-witted OLE
lady understand the drift of hi
diplomatic talk, and in convincing
:. him that he had miscalculated th'
y pride of the mother of the Sulli
vans.

The Winona Advance intimates
that our old friend General A. M.
West "wants to get back into the
Democratic party.n The General
has been having some mighty bad
associates for several years, and
we have no doubt he begins to
yearn for his old place at the Dem
ocratic council fire. He has been
running with such political har-
leauins 40 the redoubtable Gene
raj Weaver, the more rcdoubtable
Ben. King, and the still more re-
doubtable James Ronald Chalmers

to look decent dog in the face.
( However, If the General has re-
solved to repent of his evil cour-
ses, and really desires to return
to the old homo, the doors of the

open to those who come with a
contrite spirit and q repentan1
heart, and our old friend can enter
and take his seat on the "mourn

that there will be q "fatted calf

A Poker Game.

The Kansas City Journal tells OF
a game of poker played recently
m that city between Maj. Drumm
and Texan. The Journal says
the Texan had no money but plen-
ty OF cattle and an immense desire
to play poker with the Major. The
latter is known around the steck-
ward for his natural resources, aud
he swept away the seemingly IN
surmountable difficulty by propo-
sing a game of one-steer ante, two
steers to come in and no limit.
They played on that basis. Maj.
Drumm dealt and the gentleman
from Texas anted one steer. Both
came in and the game opened with
four steers on the table, Maj.
Drnmm drew two tens and caught
an unexpected full, while the gen.
tleman from Texas struck bob
tailed snag and passed out. The
third was a Jackpot, and it took
three deals TO open it. The gen
tleman from Texas finally drew
two jacks and opened the pot with
a fine breeding bull, which count.
ed six. Maj. Drumm covered this
with five steers aud two year-old
heifer, and went him twelve cows
better. The gentleman from Tex
as, who drew another jack, saw
the twelve aud went him fifty
steers, twenty two year.old heifers
four bulls and twenty-five heiiert
better. Maj. Drumm looked at hit
hand and placed on the table Sly
fine Aldernay cows, five imported

Tennessee Railroad Commission.
Special to The Times.Democrat.

Special to The Times-Democrat.
Nashville, August, S.-The. Rail
road Commission met this morning
and examined the complaints filed
against the railroads. General
Gordon, in conversation with a
reporter, said that the complaints
were few, and a number of them
he thought were based on wrong
information. Most of the railroad
officers have intimated to the com
mission that all complaints would
be adjusted. The General had a
conversation with Mr.. Calp, of the
Louisville and Nashville, regard
ing the shipments of vegetables,
in which he told Mr.. Calp that
their rates on berries, pears and
plums were too high, and would
eventually break down the pro-
duction of these fruits. The far
mers do not complain as to rates
on apples and potatoes. Mr. Calp
replied that if the farmers would
state what they thought was best,
he would see. that their produc'
tions would be moved. General
Gordon said the other officials had
intimated as much as Mr.. Calp had
said, and he believed that all sucl
complaints could and would bt
adjusted without any trouble
The Generals intent is to sticl
strictly to bis idea-when a com
plant is made against a railroad
to confer with the officials ant
have them to adjust the matte
without going to the courts, thu
causing the State to expend n
money uselessly.

There is a very remarkable mis- .
prevailing among
some newspapers and their cor
respondents as to the rationale Of
the editorial plurality sanctioned
by universal usage. A newspaper
is, or is in theory presumed to be,
the representative of a combina-
tion, on a greater or smaller scale,
of capital, or brains, or political or
religious sentiment, or OF some
other interest or opinion, or asso-
citation of interests or opinions, IN
behalf of which it speaks. The
great daily represents great COM
bination of such interests or prin-
ciples, with a large latitude of mu'
tual concession and compromise.
The local weekly or the organ of a
religious sect or political party, or
particular trade or profession, is,
of course, more limited in its
range.
In any case, however, "we" is
not the particular individual that
happens to be welding the pen, as
SO many persons seem to imagine.
1t represents the corporate, imper'
sonal journal. 1t is immaterial
whether the editorial work is done
by one person or tifty-the princi'
pie is still the same. The personal
ity of the writer is not an element
in the case at all, unless for special
reasons-such as statements from
. personal experience, etc.,-it is
made an element, and in such case:
the individual should be referred
to in the third person, as the wrl
ter,n or some other periphrasti'
/ equivalent.
of course, this rule may admi
of some relaxation for the sake o
brevity and convenience within
. certain limitations. But nothin
