A STORY OF TWO SLAVES.
The Reunion in VedIOck Of an Ancient
Uncle Tom and His beloved Aunt
Chloe.

From the Leavenwortf Times
Probate Judge Hawn issued marriage license
yesterday to James and Eliza Kelley. There is
nothing remarkable about the Issuing of the
license. were it not from the fact that the old
couple were not fully convinced that they had
ever been married, although they have lived to-
gether many years. 1t is one of the old stories
OF now young couple, as slaves were made
man and wife after the custom prevalent in the
sunny south at that date. Children were bornto
them. but the slave dealer came that way and
their master being pushed for money disposed
OF their children. Times grew harder and it
was not long ere the husband and mother
were separated. one going to Louisiana and the
other to Tennessee. Then came the war and the
exodus of slaves to Kansas and other States,
ana unbeknown to each other they both came
to Leavenworth
While attending church in this city one Sun
Gay the Old man became convinced that he saw
ms iohg-iost Liza in the congregation and ut
the close OF the service approached her. called
her by name and in a moment the two people
VINO hGu been separated for over thirty-tive
years. were locked in each others embrace.
Ihey had saved some little money during their
separation and purchased a farm about six miles
west OF the city, and as they passed along together
the question as to whether they were ever legally
married was frequently discussed and for fear
there might be some mistakenly concluded that
the Detter way would be to secure a license and

EiOpcmens Scandals i'm Newspapers.
From the Boston Transcript.
1t should be remembered in extenuation of
the habit of some newspapers to make much of
an elJpement scandal, that when newspapers
were first started in England the only news
they contained was about Opponents. GER
tain class OF Journals on this side of the water
act as though they had struck bonanza when
put in possession of the irregular" proceedings
OF someb ody. with more money than brains
who elopes with somebody else about as BRAIN
less. In order to have the-story complete. there
must be a great disparity in the positions Of the
eloping parties. 1t would not be in good
form for runaway flight to take place between
young lady Of considerable means and anybody
OF higher social dignity than Il coachman.
Common mechanics are barred out of such little
social arrangements. The demands of society
must be maintained. fla young lady who has
brilliant prospects financially is bound to run
away. she will be voted extremely vulgar unless
some insinuating cOachman is intrusted with her
love.

Tie latest adyices from Havana indi-
cate very feyerish condition Of affairs in
Cuba. Il seems that it is only within
the last few days that it has become gen.
orally known that Gen. AguerO and his
followers made a safe landing on the
island. All press dispatches were rigidly
scrutinized by the authorities, and moth
ing was allowed to reach the people cal
culated to enlighten them respecting
Gen. Aguer0's movements. Doubtless
the same surveillance is exercised, as far
a. possible. over news items sent from the
interior To Havana and from that city
abroad. In that case, very reliable news
respecting Gen. Aguero's movements need
not be expected. If, however. the reports
already published are to be depended upon
Gen. Aguero is meeting with fully as
much sympathy as he had reason to eX-
pect. The government, it seems, was mis-
Ted by AeuerO's sympathizers respecting
the place OF landing Of the filibustering
expedition, and Gen. AguerO had begun
his march inland before the government
troops knew that he was on the island.
II Gen. AgucrO proves himself to be a
leader Of ability. the incipient revolution
may grow into proportions that will give
Spain great deal Of trouble. Spanish
and American war vessels are cruising in
the neighborhO0d Of Key West, with the
purpose Of preventing the escape Of any
other filibustering expeditions. There
doesn't seem to be much probability that
any others are contemplated. There is no
good reason for any more unless they are
larger and much better equipped than
that Of Gen. Aguero was. If Cuba is ripe
for revolution, as asserted, all the recruits
needed can be found on the island. There
NAV be. however, a great lack Of guns and
ammunition.

A Distracted Mother

A young married lady Of Baltimore, be-
lieving that she was on her death5ed. and
wishing to make provision as far as pos
sible for her infant child, recently intrust
ed it to the care of a nurse, giving her $50
with which to pay its board at an infant
asylum until other arrangements could be
made. The nurse promised to comply,
and took the child and the $40 but instead
Of entrusting the infant to the Sisters in
charge Of the asylum the woman pOcketed
the money, placed the baby in a basket,
and hung it to the doOr-knOb at the asylum.
1t was taken in and placed in the unknown
ward with nearly a hundred waits. Re
Gently the mother recovered sufficiently
to 20 in search Of the child, but when she
called at the institution was terribly
shocked at being told that her infant
could not be identified. The distracted
mother eagerly scanned the faces Of a
dozen young babies, but was unable, and
is still 30, to identify her own offspring.

A Grateful and Heroic Negro.


The circumstances Of the most heroic
and romantic deed connected with the late
Everingham disaster was related to us
Yesterday. After the boat had been banked
and a roster Of the crew was called. As
sistant Pilot Wingate did not answer.
'.Where is WingateF" some one shouted.
.-Asleep, in his BERTH" was the answer,
and by this time the supports Of the up
per deck were being eaten rapidly away,
and the flames circled round and round
over the hurricane deck, licking the glass
Of the staterOOm doors, to disappear now
and anon through the black curls
Of dense and sitting smoke, then
again to streak the black sky like
the liYid pulse of destruction that
it was, and then to soar away and vanish
INTO the Oblivion Of heat to scar the inYisi-
bic atoms Of the air. 1t was in the midst
Of this panorama Of horror that a black
form was seen rushing toward Wingate's
berth and impending death. a surge. a
crash, and the door gave way, and Win
gate and his rescuer, through ways left
free by Providence, escaped in safety to
the shore, This negro, on hearing that
Pilot Wingate was in his staterOOm, ban.
ished all fear Of his own safety to rescue
him, which was done in return for the
saving Of his own life by Wingate when
the Wylly went to pieces against the
Fort Gaines bridge last April. He was
going under for the third time when Win
gate snatched him from his grave. This
was gratitude, and herOism equaled by
no instance in the calamitous records Of
many and many a day, and deserves a
mOnument'in marble.

The Silver Dollar.

it is not at all probable that the New
York Chamber Of Commerce committee,
at present in Washington for the purpose
otursing the passage Of bin suspending
the coinage of the silver dollar, viii meet
with an encouraging reception. They
have with them a monster memorial in
support Of their mission, but memorial
and committee combined stand no chance
Of securing the sort Of legislation wanted.
It is understood that seven Of the eleven
members Of the Committee on Coinage
are committed against any bill providing
for suspending, or even limiting, silver
coinage. With a hostile committee it is
not possible, Of course, to get a bill
fayorably reported to the House, and
even If it were possible to get the com
mittee to report a bill, it would stand
no chance Of being considered this
session, and probably not next session.
1t would have To take its place at the foot
of the calendar and there it would re-
main. 1t could not be got before the
House except by unanimous consent, or
bv suspeuding the rules, which requires
a two-thirds vote. Anybody who knows
ANYTHING about the sentiment Of the
House ON this silver coinage question
knows that neither unanimous consent
nor suspension Of the rules could be
obtained. The New York Chamber Of
Commerce ought to have begun its war on
the silver dollar earlier. 1t might then,
at least. have secured hearing. There is
one thing that the Committee on Coinage
propose doing 1t is TO report a bill au-
th0rizing two dollar silver certificates 10
De issued and ordering the retirement Of
the two dollar United states notes. Mr..
Bland. the Chairman, says that the COM
mittee viii not report fayorsbly on the
proposition 10 issue one dollar silver GER
tihcates. because certificates Of that de-
nomination would materially interfere
with the circulation Of the silver dollar.
The silver dollar j. evidently with US TO
,tav for while.
