a STRIKING CONTRAST.
The Blushimg Bride of Il and Hel
Aged Spouse.

Aged Spouse.
Old Daddy Weeks, aged rs, has Just
been married to Lilly Brown. fourteen
year-old girl, writes correspondent to the
Chicago Tribune from New London, Conn.
The bride is to-day wearing a gown that
reaches her ankles-and very proud
she is of the dress. for it is her first
long one. 1t is regarded as very singular,
to put it mildly, that Dec. 81 should have
mated with such very early date in May
with the full consent of the child's parents;
but the parents are unaffected by the
popular clamor, alleging that they exer-
cised proper care and showed their
parental affection by rejecting Daddy
first smitten with Sissy's good looks. Daddy
was bent on marriage, and was steadfast in
his affection during the two years of weary
waiting, barring one little lapse, when he
offered buXom widow S175 spot cash as
an inducement to become Mrs. Weeks. She
promptly declined him, and Daddy again
took his place in line and waited for SISSY
Brown.
When the marriage was heard of the
hoodlums turned out in full force and made
the neighborhood crazy with the internal
din of horns and drums.
Capt. Brown. Sissy's father, was once in
command OF vessels plying On the sound,
and was the skipper of the i'll
fated steamer City of New London
when she burned and sunk in
the Thames river. near Montville. There
was rumor that Capt. Brown was made
agreeable to the marriage by a pecuniary
consideration, and that old Weeks prom
ised Mrs. Brown 500 and piano to Sc
cure her good Office, but had not made pay
ment. Leonard Carroll, the local agent of
the Humane society of Connecticut, heard
this rumor, and this afternoon he inves-
tigated the story. He took the sense of
the neighborhood on the matter and then
sought the young wife and questioned her
under oath. She denied that any compuI-
sion had been used, and insisted that
Daddy was her choice. She thought he
was kind old man and people said he had
property. Everything is all right, so
far she said. land people had better keep
their noses out of other peoples business
The girl is quite attractive and fairly in
telligent for her years. She hardly looks
as old as she is. The clergyman who mar
ried them is himself an old man, and much
respected in the town. Daddy and Sissy
have gone to housekeeping.

FARGO. Oak. July Reports received
by the Northern Pacfic Elevator company
the past day o. two from the No. 1 hard
wheat belt are much less favorable than
heretofore Although recent rains have
been quite general, Cass and few other
river counties are about the only ones that
indicate all average crop, and they will
fall short Of last year. The Republican
this evening infers from the indications that
the crop of Dakota as a whole will not be
very much above half an average yield. 1t
finds that the damage from drouth and heat
in South Dakota has been much the greatest
The following are extracts from the reports
received:
Valley City-With unfavorable weather
there will probably be half Il crop only With
favoroble weather there will probably be half
crop on old land and three-fourt Of crop
on new breaking and summer following.
JamestOwn-The heaviest rain for several
weeks fell Saturday night which did an i'm
mense amount of good. There is now no
doubt that the wheat and oat crop will be far
below the average, perhaps not more than
one-third Of an average yield.
DawsOn-Nine miles north the wheat looks
splendid and a full crop is expected. but else
where there will probably be not more than
ten bushels to the acre
Blanchard-Late seeding is suffering greatly
from drOuth and unless ram comes very soon
| it viii not be worth cutting Saturday night s
thunder shower helped the grain consider
ably. In ten days more most of the wheat
will be headed out.
Sheldon-Heavy rain since the last report
| revives the growing crops greatly The
weather continues very hot, which is unf6-
| vorable to wheat. Not more than IS per cent.
of last years yield is expected.
| Lisbon-The weather since the last report
has continued very hot and windy. There
was good rein Saturday night. The harvest
win begin some earlier than in former years,
and from present appearances there will be
about two-thirds OF a crop.
Mellvilie-There is nothing favorable in
crop prospects. The weather continues very
hot and dry and wheat in some places is sim
ply dying. 1t would burn up if q fire was
| started in it. Some farmers are plowing
| their wheat under. Oats are not much better
andhay is very scarce.
| Grand R8pids-'There was great rain Sat-
urday night, but early sOwn wheat cannot re-
cover from the eject OF the hot Try winds.
Early seeding will produce about half a crop.
Late seeding is breaking well and will make a

An Oakland Cal, widow has sued
newspaper for libel for asserting that her
late husband had "gone to a happier
home" The difficulty OF obtaining wit
nesses and the uncertainty OF the direc-
ton in which to look for them, would
seem an insurmountable difficulty. Sup
pose the editor should petition for a
change of venire? 1t might be somewhat
difficult to induce the plaintiff and her
witnesses to cross over the line into the
other Jurisdiction, even if the editor were
willing. Then there is shadowy uncer-
tainty anent the present boarding-place
of the deceased that needs clearing up.
If he is engaged in shoveling birthstone,
it might be considered libelous to assert
that he had gone to "happier home" "
Until deceased is heard from in this mat
ter, we counsel an armed truce.

PROBLEM OF SOUTHERN LABOR

In a conversation, Immediately after
the war, with Colonel James Rion, who, as
commander of South Carolina regiment,
fought on the Confederate side through
the contest, the question as to the proper
treatment Of the freedmen came up. He
accepted the results OF the fight and the
"subjugation," as he was pleased to term
it, Of the South, as Il fixed fact. No one
at that time expected that the ballot
would be given to the freedmen. eve
must replace our slaves by foreign-born
laborers," said Rion. But it was an
swered, Your estimate ofmanual laborers,
and your habit of command over slaves,
will prevent even the most stupid OF i'm
ported laborers from working under you.
Besides, You have not the ready money
to import them, and you have on your
plantations in the freedmen the best
laborers. and by all odds the cheapest in
the world. Your former slaves are
attached to the homes of themselves and
their ancestors, and more or less to their
masters. Why, in view of your bankrupt
condition, do you not face the music, and
accepting the aid OF this willing and ac-
Climated class of laborers who are ready
to work for pittanCe, make the best oi

family cabin with from one to five acres
OF your great plantations, so that youl
grateful laborers may rise to the dignity
OF householders and feel that they have
homes of their own through your kind
ness. In this way you will attach then
to yourselves and your plantations.
But even so humane gentleman al
