A Romance from the Plains.

Lieut.. w. A. Skunk, 9th United States
Cavalry, and Miss Merrill, daughter of
Post Chaplain Merrill, were united III
the holy bonds of wedlock at Fort Clark,
Texas, one bright and rosy morning in
early June last. Two hours after the
ceremony was performed and while bride
and groom, surrounded by their congrat'
ulatory friends, still fingered over the
sun,ptuous wedding breakfast, an order
was received from headquarters directing
Lieut.. Shunk's company to take the field
against Gerouimo, the Apache chief, and
his band of restless, discontented and
bloodthirsty redskins. 1t was hard.
Not doubt of that. But there was
nothing for Lieut. Skunk to do but to bid
his blushing and weeping bride good
bye. fling himself into the saddle and
ride away after the Apache miscreants.
1t soon became evident that the campaign
against the Indians would be long and
tedious, so Post Chaplain Merrill decided
to return with his family, including Mrs.
Lieut.. Skunk, to their old home in AT
lanta, Ga. Thus the separation between
the rudely severed man and wife became
wider and more complete. All Summer
long Lieut.. Skunk, with his company,
secuted through Arizona in pursuit OF
the Apache band, while his brave and
patient wife quietly awaited his return
at her old home away down in Georgia.
Two weeks ago Lieut.. Skunk, still in the
field, was overwhelmed with Joy and
pleasurable anticipation by the receipt
of an order detailing him to attend lhe
Cavalry School at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas. As may be imagined, he was
not long in ODE eying this most welcome
order. Upon reaching Fort Leayenworth
he readily secured short leave OF
absence, telegraphed Mrs. Skunk to meet
him in St. Louis, and ON Monday bride
ana groom were reuuited at the Southern
Hotel in this city. Their long deferred
honeymoon will doubtless prove unusu'
ally happy, and will be marred by no
fears of second sudden and unexpected
separation. Under army regulations one
lieutenant from each regiment in the
service is sent to the School" at Leaven-
worth, where they must remain two years
for the purpose of receiving instructions
in the higher aud more intricate branches
of their profession. For two years,
therefore, Lieutenant and Mrs. Skunk
may enjoy each others society without
fear of interruption.-,&. Louis Globe

The Value of Cotton Ties.

Some of the Northern papers are quot.
ing the remark made by Mr.. Grape OF
Massachusetts, in Congress some years
ago relative to cotton ties. Some South
ern member objected to their price,
when Mr.. Crapo is said to have sprung
up and crushed him by declaring that
the Southern farmers had no right 10
complain, as they sold the ties as cotton
at four times what they paid for them.
This idea that the planter really sells
the iron ties at 10 cents or so a pound is
very current. The Atlanta Constitution
shows again, as has been frequently
shown before, that the idea is an errone.
GUS one.
The price of cotton is fixed at Liver
pool. 1t may occasionally vary in this
country from the Liverpool rate, but
that is the standard, if there is any.
The rule governing cotton in the Liver.
pool Exchange explains at once the mat
ter of the iron ties, and is as follows:
"The gross loading weight is taken
before the cotton is mended or sampled,
then two pounds per bale draught is
deducted, then the weight of bands, the
number being counted and small mum.
Der weighed, so as to get Mt the weights
of the total number, and after that the
tare of four pounds per hundred weight
the result being the net weight-and
if this net weight is less than the guar.
anteed weight, or 7 per cent. below the
gross American shipping weight, then
claim for The deficiency is made.
In this it will be seen the weight of the
cotton ties is eliminated from every
transaction, throwing the cost exclusively
on tile cotton producer. He not only
does not get 10 cents a pound, or the
price of cotton for them, but he gets
nothing at all.
The English rate is based on the cot.
ton itself, free from all extraneous mat
ter. The American price is dependent
on the English one, with reduction
allowed for the weight of the ties; so
that if there were no bands, if the cotton
were shipped loose to England, its price
would be trif1e higher. In the -Ameri-
CAP estimate, it is true, no mention is
made of this; but the ties are none the
less taken into consideration and allowed
for in the fixing of prices.-Neao Orleans

A Convict Killed and Two others
Wounded by al Accident.

Yesterday morning during the progress
of the work on the Canal at Cemetery
Hill an accident occurred by which one
convict was killed and two others were
seriously injured.
The earth when taken from the Eastern
hillside of the Canal is transferred to the
other side by cars which run on trestle
built across the bed of the Canal. One
of these cars was loaded up and, Hith
three colored col ,icts, Jake Simmons,
Joe Tucker and Bud Adams, started
across. When partly ac7oss, the trestle
gave way and precipitated the car to the
ground, a distance of II or IA feet, the
car falling upon Simmons and crushing
him so badly that he died in short time
from his injuries, Joe Tucker fell on
the loose granite and had his thigh brok.
en- and sustained other injuries, and
Adams was considerably bruised but not
seriously injured.
As soon as possible the wounded men
were removed to the hospital and cared
for and last night were doing we'll.
An inquest was held on the body of
Simmons BY Coroner Civil in the after.
noon and verdict returned in accordance
with the foregoing facts. Simmons was
sent to the Penitentiary from Beaufort
County, under sentence of 10 years for
arson, in 1878. Tucker was in for two
years for obtaining money on false pro-
tences, and came from Charleston last
December. Adams is in for 20 years
from Aiken County.
At about / o'clock another accident
occurred at the Peniteutiary, by which a
negro convict came near losing his life,
and probably owes his escape from instant
death to the fact that he fell on his head.
John Williams was engaged in placing
the stone coping on the prison wall near
the Southwestern corner, at distance of
about 36 feet from the ground. While
raising rock into position the rope upon
which he was pulling broke aud he was
precipitated to the rocks below on the
outside of the wall. He was very seri'
ously cut and bruised, but last night the
conclusion reached was that be was not
fatally injured.
Williams was a desperate fellow. He
was sentenced to 10 years from Abbeville
County for rape and escaped during 1876,
and while he was at large be received an
additional sentence for Is years for
burglary committed in York County.
Subsequently he was rearrested and re-
turned to the Penitentiary. Columbia

union of the veterans of General Grants

by fathers hand upon matters pertaining

made public. As he entered into the
war with you for his first companions,
and as he always spoke of your regiment
with afectionate interest, it is fitting
that you should be first to hear his part
ing words. That is what he wrote upon

are on the eve of new era, between
Federals and Confederates. / cannot
stay to be living witness to the correct.
ness of this prophesy, but | feel it within
me that il is to be so. The universally
kind feeling expressed for me at time

beginning of the answer to Let US have
peace The expression of these kindly
feeling were not restricted to any section
of country, nor TO a division Of the peo'
ple; they came from individual citizens
of all nationalties, from all denomina-
tions, Protestant, Catholic and the Jew
and from the various societies of the
land, scientific, educational, religious or
otherwise. Politics did not enter into
the matter at all. | am not egotist
