"A Romance of. Real Life in missouri.
loa l-:i.l .lssst-44saaa tld.,) 1Hsr,aa1a,J ,
On Monday evening, ,24thinst, Mr.
T.. 6. :Childers and Mrs. Lucinda
Philips were married at the latter's
residence on Division street. This is
kaciif second wedfocR wftff each other
and the story Of f their separation and
final reunion after twenty years, is
equal, in point Of romance, to that OF
Ehoch Arden. 1 = - 1&s-E
Mr.-!T D. Childers and Mrs. Lucin-
da Tatem were first. married in their
native county, Franklin, in 1856, and
lived together until 1861, when the
husband joined the Southern army III
response to a, call for volunteers. Soon
he was made a prisoner by the enemy,
who kept him for awhile in St. Louis,
and finally sent him to Alton, ILL.,, for
keeps. After sixteen months of cap
tivity he was exchanged and resumed
his duties as a Southern soldier, re-
naming in the army until the close OF
| hostilities in 1865, when, like dutiful
husband and father, he returned to his
wife and little children, but sad changes
greeted him where all had once been
contentment and happiness.
The husband had been reported
|; killed IN the terrible struggle Of lVicks-
/ burg, and his wife, after fong and tear
ful waiting was forced to give credence
to the story, and subsequently found
.solacein the love Of a. Mr. Philips,
whom she had known from childhood.
True to the VOWS of long ago, she was
10th to bury the first love. Still she
was woman, and therefore to be won
and so it was, the soldier husband re-
turned from the dangers and priva-
tions of war to find her whom he had
vowed to love until parted by death,
the wife of another. 1t was an ordeal
more trying than any he had expert
enced during all the bloody conflict
through which he had passed. Yet
there was no remedy save to suppress
/ the affections SO fondly treasured, and
trust in time, whose easy flight cor
rects all errors, softens grief, and rocks
sad memory to sleep.
He married again in 1866, but his
second wife died three years later In
1875 he married third time, but was
again robbed by death Of his consors
one year afterward. About a year
ago Mr.. Phillips died, leaving Child
ers' first wife in Widowhood.
Mrs. Phillips has a brother residing
in Franklin whom she visited not long
since, and at whose house she chanced
to meet Mr.. Childers, her first husband.
They met as friends, but their friend
ship quickly warmed, the love of 20
years ago returned, and though not SO
tervent as in the earlier dream OF
youth, it was not wanting in earnest
devotion. Their second marriage to
each other occurred on Monday ev-
ening, the Oath instant, in the presence
of their families, respectively and col
lectively.s The--even was celebrated
with music and dancing, and the bride
and groom, though sprinkled with the
silver Of time, seem happier for the
sorrow they have known. - IS -

McWilson Miller, who died in Neck
lenburg county, n. c., last spring,
leaving about S ,500in personal prop
erty and $50 acres Of land. He was
not married, and died without a will
aud his property, therefore, is to be
divided among his relatives. He had
eleven brothers and sisters, all of
whom are dead except one, and the
descendants who are entitled to an in
terest in the, estate are scattered
throughout all the Southern STATES,
West Virginia, Ohio and Illinois. The
whole number interested in the case is
150. When the estate is divided
among these, the shares of those way
down in the fifth generation will not
be more than one seven hundred and

the claimants live in Mecklenburg
county. The lawyers have traced up
every member of the family to the

of one person whosmarried and moved
to Louisiana where both he and his
wife died leaving one schild. This

He Improved His Opportunity.
(Chicaeo Hcrazd.)

There is story told of a skillful
pick-pocket, who was brought before
a Police Magistrate on a charge Of
fancying that another man s watch was
his HEn.1 The complainant was asked
ythe Magistrate: Are you shure you
had your watch with you at the time
you missed it, and gave this man in
charge for having stolen it?''
The witness hesitated, not being
quite sure, and answered, Il do not
know"
"Not know" exclaimed the Magis-
trate. "Why surely, any man would
know that!' So saying he instinctively
put his hand into his pocket and found
that his own watch was not there.
"Oh, to be sure," he added. 81 miss
my own watch, but / believe I left it
on my dressing-tabie this morning.
OF course there was a laugh in court.
Ihe stupidest remarks of magistrates
and judges put the lawyers and public
on the broad grin. When the magis-
trate went home that evening he at
once asked his wife If he had not left
his watch up stairs.
Yes, she replied, abut gentleman
called in the middle of the day, saying
that you had sent him for it, andI gave
it to him, of course =
This gentleman was a sharp pick
pocket, who had been in the court
when the case was on. 49,

STEALING A GRAVE.
e An Incident of the Late War,
/
( lWashtagton Cor. Boston ,Iravelder.)


Wqshiagton Cor. Boston Iscayel1er.) y
An old army officer who served with
distinction In the Union Army durin g
the settlement of the difference Of
opinion between the North and South,
dropped into my office. the other. eve
ming, and after he had comfortably
a1zs1ged a1zs himself ia an easy chair and
lighted a cigar. which must havegbeen
a philopena present from. designing
and unprincipled enemy, said, between
the short puffs of smoke: Talk about
stealing in the army. Well. sir, steal
ing goes in streaks. Just let it be-
come firml y established in some COM
mand, and you can never eradicate it.
The more stringent the penalty the
more the fascination is to take that
which does not belong to them. The
regiment in the Army. of. the Cumber-
land known as the Indiana Jayhawk-
'ers was about as proficient as any that
we had, but the Eighth Missouri,
which was commanded by General
Morgan L. Smith, certainly beat any
thing [ ever met.
They would steal anything, and it
did not make any difference whether
they had any use for it or not. When
we were in front of Vicksburg they
actually stole grave, and it happened
in this way: The Eighth Missouri
was encamped alongside Of my com
mand. One Of our men died during
the night and gave orders that de-
tail be sent to dig grave. The ground
was Of hard clay and it took the men
some time to complete their work.
They returned to camp and we took
the dead soldier to his last resting place.
When we arrived we found the grave
filled and a mound showing that some
one had evidently been there Upon
investigation [ afterward ascertained
that one of the Eighth Missouri had
also died during the night and that
they had waited until my men had
finished their work, when they quietly
took possession and actually stole our
grave. Steal! Why those men would
steal anything. even a march ON the
enemy, and candor compels me to say
that they were particularly good at it"

EXPLORATIONS IN AFRICA.
A Letter From Henry. NJ. Stanley.
boston Paper.)


s A letter from Henry M. Stanley
dated July 14th, at Stanley Pool
Congo River, Africa, has been receiv.
ed by personal friend, of this city
With regard to his sudden departure
from Europe, he explains the cause as
being a sensational and exaggerated
telegram printed in the English. pa
pers to the effect that one of the sta
tions had been attacked, and the chief
Of the expedition badly wounded. The
chief, who was heartily disliked, was
shot in the arm, butno station was at
tackled. The station was partially
broken up by the personal ambition
of the, young men of the party, each
of whom desired to succeed the chief
Stanley thinksithe station can be sup
piled with native help and the number
of steamers and boats increased, and
altogether he considers everything
more encouraging at Leopoldvifle.
There are two missions, a Baptist and
Livingston Congo mission, and already
they look quite imposing in buildings.
Stanley says: "S5ince L arrived at
Congo last December, ] have been. UP
as far as the equator, and have estab-
lished two more stations, and besides
discovering another lake, Mantoniba,
have explored for 100 miles or there
abouts the river known on my map as
the Welemben, but which is really
the Malinda It is not as large as was
stated in my book, but about the size
of the Arkansas. It is deep, broad,
and very nayigable.3t The big stream
which / expect must drain the largest
part Of the South Congo basin must
be somewhat higher up. Having be-
come better acquainted with the coun-
try, [ am really struck with the dense
population of the equatorial part, the
basis of which, ifsit were uniform
throughout, would give 49,000,000
The number OF products and charac-
ter of the people are likewise remark
able-gums, rubber, ivory, camphor,
wood, and host of other things which
will repay portation'even by the
very expensive mode at present in USE
The people are born traders, and are,
for Africans, very enterprising and in.
destrious.'
Stanley tells Of his meditation with
the tribes who were at war and who,
when peace was brought about by his
efforts, elected him father and mother
Of their country.

PIGEONS AS sMUGGLERs.
And How Diamonds are Taken Across
the Canadian Border.
! (.St. Louis Globe .Democrat.l

tnts9f,iE (.S6 Louis Globe Deuocrat.)
- Early ia September a young farmer,
living in New Z ork. near the Canadian
border, shot d pigeon, and on examin-
ing 1t fe1lnd the large part of a turkeys
quill filled with diamonds. This was
a convincing proof that such birds
were used in smuggling diamonds from
Canada to the United States, and led
the customs officials to investigate the
matter Two other pigeons with their
precious freight. were captured. but
all efforts to follow the birds or to dis
cover their destination signally failed.
The trains to Canada were carefully
guarded, and on the 22d ult. the de
tectives followed a basket containing
four birds, directed to Kempville, Can
ada. The detectives remained at that
station for. five days, expecting the
owner Ito claim the basket, but he had
evidently been warned and failed to
make his. appearance. It.5was ascer-
tained, that shipments of carrier pig
cons to Canada had been regularly
made since October of last year. The
home that had been abandoned by the
.stnugglers was found in a swamp in
the middle Of DeKalb county. A
number Of birds remained there, and
there were several bushels of corn and
mixed wheat and oats there for susie
nance: Thorough investigation Of the
premises. convinced the detective that
the smugglers had taken alarm from
the failure of the. three captured pig
cons to return, The ingenious contra
tbandists evidently had system of
acknowledging the arrival of the birds,
and when three were lost they knew
that their scheme had been thwarted,
SC. the cabin was abandoned and a
place Of greater security sought. tits
believed that the frauds have been
carried on for the past two years, as the
pigeons, in order to be thoroughly
trained to return home, must be rails
ed on the premises. The scheme, as
understood here, was to dispatch about
once every week or 10 days, covey
of II or 15 pigeons loaded with dia-
monds. The precious stones were &C
-curately described and record of the
shipment and reception carefully kept
In this way there was almost an utter
absence of risk of detection, and as the
birds fly very high, and in a straight
line home, the chances of being shot
were exceedingly small. 1t is estima-
ted that the total amount smuggled is
between 100000 and $800,00O, and
the loss to the Government ten per
cent Of this amount. The three Lots
of stones captured are estimated to be
worth S1,100. They will be turned
into the treasury under the title,
"Confscated as contraband.'

A ROUND MILLION WASTED.
LOVE FOR GAMBLING FORMED AT
COLLEGE,
The Career OF 4 SpendtIIrift on Two Con-
tiHents. te9

The Leadville Democrat says: Some
few months ago there arrived in Lead
vile a young man named Julius
Haas, who was only recent. I ffQrn
ABROAD. NeICneI hIs 'actIssils nor 0e-
meanor denoted that he had any mon
ey, present or prospective. He took
up his residence at the La Plata Mine
with DR.. Otto Andrear. Lately he
went to Denver to prepare for his ma
tive home, where an inheritance of
17,50O,00O marks, or $4,375,000 now
awaits his claim. The life of the mill
ionaire contains a wealth of romance
and much Of the practical adversity
which usually befalls the prodigal son.
Dissipation at home and in this coun-
try, continual draining from fathers
riches, finally left him, to all intcnts
and purposes, a pauper in strange
land. His father was a heavy banker,
the partner Of the Rothschilds, and a
landowner at Carlsruhe, the capital
of Baden, one of the German States
In his early college days young Haas
began to exhibit a disposition of ex-
travagance and recklessness. There he
commenced a gambling career which
only ended in his destitution in Lead
vile. The wine cup, beautiful women
and song had their destinations for
him.
One who knows him says that Haas
spent 100000 francs in Marcilles and
100000 at Baden, which extravaganza
induced his father to send him to
America. He dissipated large sums
in New York, Philadelphia and Gin
cinnati, and sank $4,000 in Louis
vile sporting house. His father, re-
fused to have anything more to do
with him, and lately he has been III
prison in St. Louis.
Not long ago Mr.. Andrear wrote to
Hass' father, stating the sons circum-
stances, and in response was instructed
to take good care Of him, but not to
give him any money. A short time
ago the Illinois Stats Zeitu7g, con-
tanning notice Of the fathers death
and the estimate of the immense fort
une which he left to his children, was
received by young Haas.
A few DAYS ago nr. Andrear gave
him sufficient money for his entertain
ment at Denver until such time as he
could establish his credit with q bank
or by cab!egram advice5 make loan
to return to Germany. 1t is estimated
that Haas expended $1,000,000 in
three years.
