RUTCHINs's MARRIAGE.
A Story that Reads More Like n Ro-

NEW YORK, March IA Washington

with that of the short-term millionaire
senator from Colorado. In one respect only
was there any similarity. The groom had
been recently divorced from his wife. 1t was
the old story of incompatibility endured
quietly until the three children were grown
and competent to choose between their father
and mother. L. was a hard choice
for he has been q good father and
she q devoted mother. II has been
a hard experience for the Two sons who
have been here, and must be sorrow for
the daughter, now a young lady, who has,
during the whole time, remained with her
mother. In one sense the parents have been
as widely separated for fifteen years as they
could have been if divorced then than in
stead OF few months ago. The children
have been tie that has prevented legal
separation before. 1t hardly seems like
real life, but more like the story of a novel;

TENNESSEE LANDS.
A Big Suit Threatened Involving Many
Thousand Acres OF Coal and
Iron Lands.

PITIsBURG, March 17.-In 1869 a party
Of Pittsburgers went to- Tennessee and
bought land, receiving State patents for So
600 acres in the northern part of the State.
They paid but ten cents N acre for the land,
and concluded TO let il rest at that until
time should enhsnce its value. In the in
terveDing years squatters have taken privi-
leges, aud quite a number have posses sion.
The matter was placed in the hands of a
young lawyer in Knoxville, and he kept the
taxes paid, IS year for 1000 acres, and per-
formed the duties of guardian of
the tract. He recently sent notice
to this city upon the sale of
1000 acres through him BY their owner, a
Mr.. Williams, that the squatlers had refused
10 recognize any ownership TO the property
other than their own, would not move off or
permit the sale, and claimed they had been
there the twenty.one years which gave them
by common law right and title TO all they had
contned. 1t is necessary, in order that the
land be made purchasable, that they be
elected. For this purpose papers are now
being prepared by A. w. WATSON, a promi.
nent Pittsburg lawyer, and suits OF eject
ment will soon be brought in the United
States Court at Knoxville against these
,quatters. The tract lies near to that owned
by the Rugby colony. established by Thomas
hughes, and the Cincinnati Southern rail-
road passes by within a short dis
tance. At Rugby there has been erected
a large blast furnace, and iron and metal
are being manufactured from ore taken
from the land adjoining the place in dispute
The coal used is also mined on the same
property, and every rule OF geology would
say the same products can be found on the
so, 000-ac tract. Valuable timber covers a
large part Of it, which is another unit of
value added to the property. W. J. Ramsey,
a weli-known railroad man, owns 10000
acres Of the block. Mrs. C. W. Carpenter, of
Allegheny, owns 5000, and the balance is
held by others, whose names are withheld.
A railroad was surveyed through the prop
erty last summer from Wheeling, W. Va, to
Chattanooga, Tenn. This line will soon be
built, and is owned by parties in Titusville,
Bradford, Oil CITY, Meadville and Franklin,
the majority OF whom are, or were, interested
in the Standard Oil Company. The legal
battle will be interesting.

EnEIi.h Deans and Canons.

The present dean of Windsor, DR.. Common,
who owes his deanery to the chance of his
having come under the Queens notice when
at Osborne, as an Isle of Wight Clergyman,
is the first in long while TO hold the office
who has not been a man of high connections.
There were, up to the ecclesiastical reforms,
some forty years ago, twelve canons, each
provided with a house and drawing about
$4,000 or $1,000 year for the tremendous
duty Of performing a portion of each day
service for one month In twelve. Now there
are only four canons, with houses and about
$4,000 year. They are allowed in addition
to hold one living. Formerly they might
have held dozen. The canons are generally
men of high character, who have been in
some way connected with the court. One is The
Hon. and Rev. C. L. Courienay, an effective
preacher, long domestic chaplain 10 the
Queen, and married 10 one of her first u aids
OF honor. Another is the brother of her
favoIite (deceased) secretary, Mr.. Arson.
No one who has served the court we'll is ever
forgotten. The dean his a foe residence
opening on TO the frsmtd terrace and CON-
manding a lovely view over the Thames and
Elton. His salary is about $4,000 a year
The early English kings richly endowed
their church of 81. George's, Windsor, and
thus the dean and canons still retain the
patronage of great number of livinss in
various parts of England. The chapel i.
now kept in the highest possible order, and
the services are admirably conducted. Nc
laxity or neglect of any kind is 10 be noted
such as was once too common in English

NEW YORK, March 17.-In reply 10 let
ter asking for information in respect to the
arrangements for the reception of John
Howard Payne's remains, Mr.. w. w. Cor
corans secretary writes from Washington
as follows: The Burgundia, containing the

Mr.. Corcoran has appointed committee

cou,emplstes at present, but he has been
communicated with very recently by parties

WICKED WIaGINs.

1t is strange how often a little matter
kiudleth grea: FIRE. 1t was the kick OF Mrs.
OLeary's COW that produced the great Chi
cage confsgration eleven years ago. The
first pebble cat into the sea, it is said, pro-
duced a commotion that is still vibrating,
and the hoofs Of that useful but unintelli-
gent animal which succors SO many migrate
tul lives, produced a connection which will
change the destiny of men in all time to
come. Small men, by the mere stroke of the
pen, can sometimes convulse the universe. A
contemplate nincompoop in Canada, who
rejoices in the euphonious name Of E. Stone
Virgins, has produced a commotion more
injurious to the human family than the kick
of Mrs. OLeary's COW. Time has shown
that Virgins is a stHPendous fraud. For
two months he has been advertising to the
world that on the 9Th OF Msrc1
he intended to shake the weather within an
inc of its life. AT the time fixed for bust
ness we had, as usual, all sorts OF weather.
At some localities it was clesr, at others
cloudy and rainy, and as there are storms
every day somewhere in the storm season, as
a matter of course there was wind on the 9Th
of March, but most OF it was made by the
capaci Gus windbsg, E. Stone Virgins. This
fraud is trying to vindicate his reputation
as weather prophet by explaining that the
col nciding "perihelions," the "aphelions"
and the moons @perigee" and "spogee"
passages went back on him, absolutely failed
to comply with their part of the contract.
Virgins entered the ring and held the whirl-
wind In his clenched fist, but his confederates
as world smashers failed to come to time,
and there is no other alternative left for
Virgins TO vindicate his reputation but to
bring suit against the "perihelions," the
"aphelions," the "perigees" and the "apo-
gees" for damages. AS weather prophet
Virgins is in Disgrace. He can retire on

When falls the soldier brave,
Dead at the feet of wrong,
The poet sings and guards his grave
With sentinels of song.
Songs, march he gives command,
Keep faithful watch and true:
The living and dead OF the conquerors land
Have now no guards save you.
Gray ballads mark ye well
Thrice holy is your trust
Go! halt by the fields where warriors fell;
Rest arms! and guard their dust,
List Songs. your watch Is long,
The soldiers guard was brief;
Whilst right is right and wrong is long,
Ye may not seek relief,
CO. wearing the gray of grief!
Col watch DER the dead in gray
Go! guard the private and guard the chief,
And sentinel their clay!
And the songs, in stately rhyme,
And with softly sounding tread,
Go forth to watch for the time-G time
Where sleeps the Deathless Dead.
And the song, like funeral dirge,
In music soft and low,
Sing round the graves. whilst hot tears surge
From hearts that are homes OF woe.
What tho no sculptured shaft
ImmOrtaliZe each brave?
What tho no monument epitaphed
Be built above each grave?
When marble wears away
And monuments are dust,
The songs that guard eur soldiers clay
will still fulfill their trust.
With lifted head and steady tread,
Like stars that guard the skies
Go watch each bed where rest the dead,
Brave songs with sleepless eyes.
When falls the cause of Right,
The poet graspS his pen,
And cleaning letters OF living light
Transmits the truth to men.
Go songs he says who sings;
Go tell the world this tale:
Bear it afar on your tireless wings;
The right will yet prevail.
Songsl sound like the thunder's breath!
Boom DER the world and say:
Brave men may die-Right has no death!
Truth never shall pass away
Col sing thro' a nations signs
Go! sob thTo' a peoples tearsi
Sweep the horizons of all the skies,
And throb through thousand years.
And the songs, with brave sad face,
Go proudly down their way,
Mailing the loss of 8 conquered race
And waiting an yesterday.

A Young Man Mistakes a n arnets' Nest
Gnr a RHahIainHiR Aneeiuaau

A young man who lives on West Spruce
street, Philadelphia, ventured out alone into
the unknown regions of Lower Merton few
days ago. The young man did not know
much about the country, and it seemed quite
natural that be should wish 10 carry home
to West Spruce street q memento of his trip,
q specimen from natural history. He saw
hanging from low bush by the roadside a
strange object, very much like a small bal
loon made of coarse gray paper. This
singular thing seemed to be just the speci-
men he wanted. He broke off the twig
from which the curiosity was suspended, and
went to the station. He entered well-hlled
car, placed his specimen in hst-rack and
sank into a seat.
Ths car was warm. The warmth seemed
very delightful to the young man, who had
been out in the cold so long. In short time
he was in 3 doze. The car grew warmer.
The young man slept. Suddenly the arti6-
