An unsatisfactory Cotton Rate.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 16.-The cotton rate
between here and New York as fixed by
Commissioner Fink, at So cents per 100,
which goes into effect tomorrow, is very
unsatisfactory to four or five roads inter
ested in the matter, and will no doubt re-
suit in ''cutting" at once. The rate is 5
cents higher than the one asked for, and
representatives of the lines concerned say
that it will prevent them from competing
with the Memphis, New Orleans and Gal
weston Railroad, and is not at all likely to
be adhered to.
Information received this evening says
that the same rate has been made from
Memphis as from st. Louis. This seems
to give satisfaction to the roads here.
These rates will be maintained unless a
cut is made at Memphis. So far as known
tonight no cut was made between here
and Chicago by the roads belonging to the
late Chicago and st. Louis pool.

A STORY OF TWO SLAVES.

The Reunion in WedIock of an Ancient
Uncle Tom and His Beloved Aunt
Chloe.
Probate Judge HawD issued a marriage
license yesterday, says the Leavenworth
(Kansas) Times, to James and Eliza
Kelley. There is nothing remarkable
about the issuing of the license, were 1t
not from TIN fact that the old couple were
not fully convinced that they had ever
been married, although they have lived
together many years. 1t is one of the old
stories of how a young couple, as slaves,
were made m nd wife after the custom
prevalent in Z Bunny South at that date.
Children were born to 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, and unbeknOwn to each
other they both came to Leavenworth.
While attending church in this city one
Sunday the old man became convinced
that he saw his lOng-lOst Liza in the con-
gregation and at the close of the service
approached her, called her by name and
in a 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 a farm
about six miles west of the city, and as
they passed along together the question
as to whether they were ever legally mar
ried 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
ceremony was done yesterday. The record
shows that he is "a and she sc.

ANOTHER BLAINE SCANDAL.
A CoIored Cousin of the PIumed knight
Locked up for Forgery.

A CoIOred Cousin of the PIumed knight
Locked up for Forgery.
About ten years ago, says an Ellenton
5. C.) letter TO the Charleston NelCS and
Courier, there appeared in this section a
a man calling himself Len Walker, who
is, to all appearances, a white man, but
who claims to have One-eIghth part negro
blood in his veins. When he first appear
ed here he was a vender of patent medI-
cines. since which time he has been car
pentering and painting. Walker claims
10 be a first cousin to James G.. Blaine,
the Republican nominee for President,
and saws that Blaine cheated himself and
his brothers and sisters out of all their
property; that he had to leave Maine for
other fields to labor for a support.
Walker has gained a scant living by his
labor and by getting as much in debt y
possible. Last Monday he wrote an Q.iKr
TO Messrs. J. J. Dicks & Bro. OF AugEEa,
payable TO himself. and signed the time
of MIR. I. i. Bush, Sr., to 1t, and w6tA to
Augusta and collected the money. NAr.
Bush went to the city on Wednesday, d4s-
covered the forgery and had Walker ar
rested. He is now in the Augusta Jail
awaiting the meeting of the Court of Ses-
siOns and a term in the Georgia peniten-
tiary. Walker has negro wife. He was
a bitter Radical when he first came here,
but turned Democrat in 1876. If Walkers
story is true here is a fine opportunity for
the Hon. James G.. Blaine tn assist his
wrOnged kinsman out Of his present tr0u-
BILE and thereby partially right the wrongs
done him in the past.

The COlOred Exhi bits at New Orleans.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The National
Commissioners of the New Orleans Expo
sition authorized ex-senator Bruce to ap-
point an additional colOred commissioner

lieving that this will give the cOloredpeople
