Washington Letter to Augusta Chronicle
A middle-agcd man approached Gen.
Hampton the other day and asked lis in.
luence in pressing a claim before tho military
committee of the senate. The stranger then
said: "Gencral, am glad to SEQ you ugain.
You do not recognize me, but you personally
made u prisoner of mo durilg the war. Com
pairing notes, Hampton found out it was a
fact, aud recalled the circumstance. IIo was
accommodating ona night and missed his way.
Around him burned many more camp fires
than he had left behind him. Entering a
house, he disc overed that he had strayel into

at n table, and abruptly addressing them, rs
il a superior officer Of their own army, he
asked who they were aud what they were
doing there. One man spoke up and replied;
"We belong to the Eighth New York regi
meut, and Gen. Warren sent us TO get milk. ,
Hampton felt that all of his nerve and ad
dress would bo required to cxtricate himself
from this dangerous position. Ho reached
Tor his pistol, held it along his thigh, and, OF
leaving the house, commanded the man who
Ind spoken to him to follow. He did 30.
Hampton mounted his horse and called the
man to him. Bending down to the Federal
soldiers ear ho whispered: 81 have II pisto

whispered: Don't shoot. 1 surrender -

Confederate camp. It was this man who,

JUDAH p. BENJAMIN, one of the last
connecting links with the lost cause, - is
dead at London. He was at one time
United States Senator from Louisiana
and afterward Secretary of State for the
Confederate government. In the rcmi-
niscenccs of the late ThurlOw Weed there
was published Il letter supposed to have
been written by Benjamin and addressed
"a one of the British legation in which
the writer ~endeavored to lead up to
negotiations for a British protectorate of
the South and a subsequent incorporation
of that country into the English foreign
possessions. At the close of the war,
with all his dearest hopes and ambitions
shattered, Benjamin took up his res dcnce
permanently in London. He was by
profession a lawyer and in that capacity
established for himself a brilliant reputu-
ton at the bar of the English metropolis.
The feeling of sectional bitterness and
intense and uncompromising opposition to
Republican institutions has rapidly died
out for lack of %sustenance on the free soil
of America. Men maintaining such
principles as Benjamin held can find no
home in all these broad dominions, nor
can their death call forth any grave regret
from good American citizens.

The Sharon divorce case now in prog
ress in San Francisco, is one of the most
disgraceful exhibitions of dcpravcd mo-
ality that has scnndnlizcd the country for
several years. The high social and polit-
eal standing of Senator Sharon attracts
to the case an extraordinary amount of
attention, and it is consequently given
more prominence than it deserves. The
trial throughout has developed a sad
state of morals in which not only the par
ties to the suit, but the witnesses have
been implicated. Witnesses have shown
the utmost disregard for the sacred obi
cations of their oaths. and with the most
cOmplaisant hardihood have sworn to
whatever was placed in their mouths. pro-
vided they were paid for doing so. On
the other hand if a greater amount of
money was offered, they lust as cheerfully
declared themselves to be p]erjurers,
Whatever the trial may develop. the pcO-
pie of San Francisco cannot feel that
either Sharon or Miss Hill deserve any
commiseration. Both have been guilty
Of disgraceful misconduct, and the object
of each has been TO make of the trial Il
hollow mockery and a fraud.

The interest aroused through Jim
Keene's failure in stock privileges has
brought forth many inquiries MS TO what
sort of things these really are. a stock
privilege is a paper signed by some well
known person, and emitting the bearer
to put to, or call from, that person u
given amount of a given stock at a given
price within a given time. These priyi-
leges are paid for according TO their spec
ulative value, their duration and the
amount of stock they are issued for.
They are practically insurance tickets
against losses in stock gambling. \ man
who buys Il privilege cannot lose more
than the amount he pays for it. If he
buys a stock and it goes down. he can put
it to the signer of the privilege. If lie
sells it short and it goes up, he can call it
and cover his contract. The so-callcd
puts and calls go only one way, and the
bearer can only either put to or call from
the signer the stock concerned. The
spreads and straddles work both ways;
the holder can either put in or call from,
the signer the stock concerned. The
sellers of privileges work upon the same
plan as book makers do at the races.
They sell stocks short against their puts
and buy them against their calls, As a
rule they make Il great deal of money,
for the figures of the privileges are
usually far away from the market. and

The Democratic Leader.
SATURDAY. MAY 10, 1884.

THE British court is said to be consid-
erably scandalized by a little bit of infor-
nation acquired in Germany. The gist
oft seems to be that Louis ". Grand Duke
of Hesse, is displaying matrimonial &c
centriciries. The Duke is the whilom
son-in-law of Queen Victoria His wife
being dead it has been asserted that tie
festive blue blood was anxious to contract a
matrimonial alliance with the Queens
youngest daughter, the Princess Beatrice,
a sister of his former wife, 1t is said
that the Queen was not averse to the alIl-
ance, although, of course, it could not
take place until the bill before Parliament
legalizing the marriage of widowers to
their deceased wife's sister had gone upon
the statute books. The DIXIE, however,
probably approaching the ]provcrbial
laws delay, has taken it into his
head to celebrate a sort of ad
interim matrimonial alliance. The
person on whom he mas Professionally
fixed his affections is a dashiug widow of
great social prominence and'much beauty.
He wishes to contract n morganatic mar
rage with this lady pending the passage
of the Parliamentary act, when of course
he will be at the service of the Queen
aud ready and willing to join hands with
the Princess Beatrice. 1t never seemed
to have occurred to the gay Duke that
