Matrimony and Longevity.

Nashville Union.
Our fair friends have ever claimed
that a life of single blessedness was of
necessity a life of wretchedness, and
have wasted much valuable breath in
impressing the idea on forlorn bache-
lors. The cold-hearted single gentle
man only shrugged his shoulders and
replied that women are creatures
dear, to be sure, but still full of i'm
pulse and prejudice and probably
wrong. But now they have brought
to their aid the statistician, and before
the power of figures even the bravest
bachelor must quail. A London
seeker of the truth has published sta
tistics showing that of a given 100, 900
bachelors between 20 and IS there are
annually about 200 deaths, whereas
out of 100000 married men of SINH
lar age the annual deaths are only
about 600. Again between the ages
of 80 and c5, 800 bachelors die and
only 900 married men to the l00,-
600. AS charity begins at home, and
existence is as sweet to a lorn bache-
lor in his cold, lonely room as to a
contented husband in his happy
home, the unmarried man had best
be looking out for life preserver ere
it is too late. There is also a lesson
of deep meaning in these figures to
the married man. Few, if any, have
ever realized that it was their wives
that was preserving them bya ratio
of 5000 to 200 from joining the silent
majority. Is it not a beautiful and
touching tribute to the preserving
influence of the tender female on the
strong, robust MAJ, the clinging ivy
saving the tall and powerful oak
And still there are hundreds of eligi-
BILE unmarried men who will read
these lines, ponder the lesson Ofwarn.
ing therein contained, and the close
of 1856 will yet find them daring the
result and refusing to yield to the
saving influence of woman.

A Romantic Story of the War.

w. II. Brown, former slave, and
now of Pittsburg, Pa, says writer
in the National Tribune, has just
fallen heir to farm of 100 acres in
Warren county, Virginia, the bequest
of Col. Jas. Spangler, late of the Con-
federate army, Brown having saved
that officers life after the capture of
Fort Harrison. 1t appears that at
the commencement of thewar Brown
was owned by Johnathan Gardner,
who had plantation adjoining that
of Spangler. Just after the first battle
of Bull Run, Brown escaped into the
Union lines and Joined the First
Michigan Cavalry, in the capacity of
servant to an officer. After awhile
he enlisted in the One Hundred and
Twenty-seventh United States, in
which he became non-commissioned
officer. Brown'sregiment was placed
on picket duty after the capture of
Fort Harrison, and the next morning
while looking for the dead and
wounded, he found Spangler, who
was then a Colonel. Spangler was
badly wounded, havinga leg shot off,
or 80 nearly off that it was hanging
by shred, and being shot through
the body, and although still living
Brown thought he would die. Brown
having frequently met the Colonel in
slavery days, recognized him at once,
and Immediately proceeded to do all
that was possible under the circum-
stances to alleviate his suffering. He
first tore the lining out his blouse,
and with some water taken from q
dead soldiers canteen, bathed the
shattered limb until the blood ceased
to flow, and then gave the wounded
officer all the water that was in his
own canteen. Subsequently he Sc
cured permission from Gen. Double.

officer, after throwing his sword ant

him. Brown then had Col. Spangle

considerable extent Nor has the cut as yet ex-
tended to Chicago east bound passenger business
While the confidence of the trunk-line authori-
ties that rates be successfully held up in the
face of Baltimore & Ohio's actions for . consid-
erably longer period may be mistaken, they have

The Railroads Not in Fault.

Said traffic manager yesterday, it is. rather
dIscouraging to try to build up the grain market
OF indianapolis when the leading dealers send to
shippers on their line quotations which are one
to two cents per bushel for corn less than they
will pay, which some Of the dealers did last
week daily. 1t simply drove the corn TO other
markets, where really no better prices were paid
than Indianapolis dealers were paying He said
he could not understand why one OF the leading
indianapolis FIRMS which paid 34a cents to So
cents for corn, was quoting prices to ship
pers on their road, the same grade
OF corn, at SO to 334 cents. From one station on
their line fifteen earsloads of corn were shipped
to Chicago which would have come to Indianap-
Oils had the dealers here bid even on Change or
quoted to the shippers the prices they were
actually paying. The traffic manager added:
This method Of doing business is running In
dianapolis as a grain market, and the railroads
have to shoulder the blame This is nothing
new with some Indianapolis dealers; it's pro-
gramme they have carried on for years, and in
the long run they have profted nothing by so
doing, as Indianapolis has lost its reputation as
a grain center"

Mr.. Scully's Broad Acres and the Hard
Terms He Makes with His Tenants.
CHICAGO, March 21.-About six weeks
ago the Tribune published an article on
alien lRndlOrdism, showing that an Irish
man named William Scully, living in Lon.
don. is the owner Of between 10000 and
10000 acres OF the best farming lands in
Illinois. The writer asserted tlat the
lands were titled by a wretched class OF
tenants, from whom are eXaeted enor-
nous rentals. Almost the entire pro-
ceeds from the sale OF their crops went TO
pay rent. The article attracted much at
tention and numerous communications ON
the subject were received. A prominent
citizen of Kansas called attention TO his
discovery that large tracts OF land in his
own State were owned by Scully. An in
Vestigation was made, the result OF which
is published this morning. The article
saws:
The title TO more than 100 900 acres Of the
choicest prairie land IN Kansas and Nebraska
is vested in William Sculy. All Of these vast
tracts have been added 90 his landed estates
