Said 1: us it your opinion that Ward had
been long time embarrassed Was he never
able to retire with a moderate amount OF
money21
II can only guess at that said my friend;
''but fancy that from very early period in his
acquaintance with Mr. Fish he was caught and
set to work to contrive some scheme of getting
money so as not to be exploded What better
security could man have than that he was con-
stantly bringing profit inf In reality these
profits were what he borrowed from you to pay
the other man who was pressing him hard. he
would get these large sums of money, and II
some person threatened row unless he got his
money back, Ward would get another man in

couldn't be got to attend to any thing promptly.
The only trouble he gave US clerks in the bank
was with his large checks He scarcely ever put
any ready money here. 1t was nearly all
checks. We had to keep ourselves very alert
for fear of being taken in by a Forgery. Checks
for $50, 900 and $75, 900 would destroy one of us
if It was not all right. Ward for some
time before the failure would overdraw
his account and we kept him just as

a STORY OF Two SLAVES.
The Reunion In Wedlock of an Ancient Uncle
Tom and His Beloved Aunt Chloe.


Tom and His Beloved Aunt Chloe.
Leavenworth Times.
Probate Judge Hawn issued amarriage license
yesterday, to James and Eliza Kelley. There is
nothing remarkable about the issuing of the
license, wereit not from the fact that the old
couple were not fully convinced that they had
never been married although they have lived
together many years. 1t is one of the old stories
of how young couple, as slaves, were made
man and wife after the custom prevalent in the
sunny South at that date Children were born
to them, but the slavedealer came that way,
and their master being pushed for money dis
posed of their children. Times grew harder
and it was not long ere the husband and mother
were separated one going to Louisiana and the
the exodus Of slaves to Kansas and other States

While attending church in this city one Sun
day the old man became convinced that he saw
his long-lost Liza in the congregation and at the
close OF the service approached her. called her
by name, and in moment the two people. who
had been separated for over thirty-fve years.
were locked in each others embrace. They had
saved some little money during their separation,
and purchased 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 mistake, they concluded
that the better way would be TO secure license
and have the matter definitely settled This
they did. and there were no happier couple in all
the world than James and Eliza when the cere
mony was done yesterday The record shows
that he is ninety-four and she sixty-six.

Fulfllment of a Thirty-Two Years Hope and
Desire.
Colonel John 8. Williams, in Lafayette Times.
The last time l met the late VIM. S. Lingle
was few days prior to his lamentable death. I
went to the Courier editorial room to see him
about matter of business, and, after that had
been disposed Of, inquired When are you
going to move into your new houseP In about
two weeks, he replied / thought to myself as
went out of the Courier counting room: well,
Lingles thirty-two years hope is about to be re-
alized.' was led to this thought from con-
versation had with Mr.. Lingle as / walked up
Seventh-st street hill with him one Sunday eve
ming late last autumn. | referred to his hand
some residence, then almost completed, and par
ticularly of its unsurpassed beauty of location.
told him had long regarded the location as
the most charming residence site that knew of
in the Wabash valley, Let me tell you an in
cident i'll connection with that location and that
residence said Mr.. Lingle. I'm the early fall
of 1852, soon after my location here, the State
fair was held on the hill grounds south OF the city,
Horace Greeley was the big attraction of the
show, and |, in company with young lady and
Judge Gresham went to hear the philosopher
crate on hydraulic rams and the mammoth
squash Returning from the fair we sauntered
along the hill where my house now stands 1t
was rather late in the afternoon of that heav-
enly day when we reached the> site of the now
residence. We sat down, and the scene up the
valley was enchanting. / thought it the most
beautiful spot ever saw and remarked to the
young lady of the party Some day | intend to
own this spot and on it build lifelong home.
From that day to this have never relinquished
the determination, and you see l have won.
There is nothing like perseverance, left Mr..
Lingle at the corner of Hit street and walked
up to Ninth and thence down to South, thinking
almost constantly of what my now deceased
friend had told me. But how inscrutable are
the ways of Providence! When about to realize
an almost lifelong cherished hope-nearly on
the threshold of that fondly expected home in
midst he was called by our Creator to, I
hope, one of eternal rest and happiness above.

1t is extremely rare that the progress of q
national canvass is so one sided as this has been
thus far. We should have to go back for twenty

Sheridan and Sherman hushed the Democratic
campaign cry that the war was failure, and
when Lincoln was carried in by an overwhelming
current over Mcclellan. TO find parallel to the
