A TRUE LOVE STORY.
The Romance Of Mr.. Stephens,
Life
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
La one of the early years of the 40s
Mr.. Stephens, then young man.
paid visit TO the home of MIR. Oar
den. in Warren county. There he met
a haxen-haired, blue-eyed girl Of 16
beautiful in face and lovely in char
acter pi9uant, witty ard gifted with
mind rarely cultivated. An attach
ment grew up. which for years did net
pass the formal bounds of friendship,
cut which was sacredly cherished by
both. The boy lover was poor in
this worlds goods; fragile in frame
and harassed by sickness. he did not
dare to aspire to the hand of one
when be had learned to love, and vet
torbore to claim. With womanly de-
votion the young girl read the secret
In the young mans eyes. and true to
her heart. she could only wait and
love. One evening in I849 a party
was given at the residence of Mr..
Little. in Charlottesville. There the
two met once more there they enjoy
ed that sweet communion born of per-
feet trust and there Mr.. STEPHENS
found courage to speak the words
which for years had fought expression.
until at last he could no longer con-
tain them
Are you sure tina. there lives none
other whom YOU prefer to me ?" asked
the maiden timidly, half.shrinkingly,
yet only too happy to feel that she
was favored in his eyes.
In the whole universe there exists
not another. said he passionately.
Thus their troth was plighted the
day was set :or their marriage, and
all seemed suspicious for the lovers.
But clouds lowered DER their hopes !;
matters of private nature, which it is
not within the domain of the public
to know interviewed and deferred the
fruition of their hopes. The one be-
came immersed in politics, and racked
with physical ills. hesitated to enter
a state where he feared the happiness
of the other might be married. The
lady found her duty by the side of
an invalid mother. who long fingered
with a combining disease. Thus the
years few by but the plighted troth
was kept. Mr.. Stephens never ad-
dressed another, aud ever kept the
image eff the fair young girl in his
heart The lady was the recipient of
admiration from many, but to all she
turned deaf ear.
They have often met since, and
while the idea of marriage was aban-
doned. they felt a sweet pleasure in
each others society. But two weeks
ago the lady was at the MANSION,
and on taking leave Of her old friend.
one of the chairs tripped up, an unfair
able sign, as the governor remarked
at the time. The lady has for years
been a citizen of Atlanta, and no one
is held in more esteem for every quail
ity which adorns womanhoOd than
Miss Caroline Wilkinson.

An Important Postal Order.

In the May number of the United States
Postal Guide there is published an order
of the first assistant postmaster general.
forbidding postmasters to allow one per
son to call for list of names. keenino
others in waiting, and directing them to
require the person attempting to 90
through list, to fall back and come up
in the rear OF others after calling for a
single name, and in the most explicit
terms postmasters are forbidden to keen
general callers waiting in order to pick
out the mail for an indefinite number #
persons. They are required to treat sue h
person calling as one person, and require
them, when served, to pass on and give
others a chance. The postmaster general
holds that to permit one person to call for
a list OF names, gives those embraced
the list an undue advantage and discom
ages the renting of boxes, and takes tla,
much from the postal service, as all money
paid for box rent goes to the government
and not to the postmaster. ~ &.
Persons having lock boxes eau obtain
mail within few minutes aftersits arr
val. Those renting call boxes can learn
long before the delivery is open il there
ire letters for them. Those who vaii,e

Little Missouri Outlaws.


BISMARCK, June ga special to the
Tribune from the Little Missouri saws
Count de Mores, who has recently held
one of the largest cattle and sheep ranches
in the west, expending million dollars,
had a difficulty with an outlaw named
O'Donnell, the leader of band of des-
peradoes. Last night the Counts house
was surrounded and his life threatened
The sheriff left with a posse for the scene
OF trouble. O'Donnell swears he will
kill the Count on sight.
LATER.
BISMARCK, June ga special from
Little Missouri says: For some time past
the life of Marquis DeMores has been
threatened by Frank O'Donnell, the lead
er OF a gang of outlaws. On Monday
morning at 3 o'clock O'Donnell and his
gang rode into town and began firing into
the windows of the hotel and other build
lngs. Several persons narrowly escaped
the bullets. The sheriff of Morton county,
with pose OF citizens, to-day pursued the
outlaws overtaking them mile from the
railroad. Riley, one of the outlaws. was
killed in the melee. O'Donnell and the
others were captured after hard fight.
The river at St. Louis is falling and
there is general rejoicing. Dispatches re-

is hardly doubt but that the aggregate
loss on the American bottom, between
Allen and Cairo, will run into millions,
and this is not half the story, for nearly
as much bottom land skirts the river on
the Missouri side, most of which is sub

The New York San speaking of

The New York San speaking Of
the National Convention of colored
men to be held next fall, says:
Here is the interesting thing
about the proposed Convention: It
is intended to be All organized ex-
preston Of discomfort with the po-
litical and social treatment of the
colored people by their fellow-citi-
zens. The signers hold it be 'san
undeniable and lamentable fact that
the present condition of the race is
insecure, and the future still more
alarming : and the bring against
the white majority five distinct and
specific charges. We condense the
several complaints:
l. Negro labor at the South is not
fairly remunerated. The Southern
negro is not protected by law in the
collection of money due him.
2. In most parts Of the country
the negro does not have fair show
in the public schools.
3. The negro is not protected in
his civil rights, Notwithstanding the
laws passed by Congress.
4. His political rights are ignored.
Six and half millions of people
are without representation in Con-
gress.
). The negro does not get his
share of Executive protection and
encouragement.
No fair minded man, black or
white, will deny that if those allie
cations are true it is time for united
action on the part Of the negroes Of
the thirty-eight States. They form
about one-eighth Of the entire pop
ulation of the country. Equal
rights are guaranteed them by the
Constitution. The laws are suffi-
cient for the purpose. If these laws
are Systematically ignored or eva.
ded, and the negroes kept out of
full citizenship by a conspiracy of
white office-holders, it is none too
soon for an organized movement to
secure just treatment. The colored
people have million and quarter
votes that fact lies behind any
protest which they may make.
The conclusion of the signers OF
this call is interesting:
According to the signs Of the
times the country is on the eve Of
great political revolution, and it be-
hoovcs US, as a race, to make our
interests paramount to those of any
party or sect that it is our duty to
unite and strike out on some bold
policy and line of action which will
bring us nearer to the estate Of full
citizenship and power when this
great revolution is over
