Letter Prom a Young Man Who is Running
an Indiana Farm.
New York Herald


Among the mail sent to Superintendent
Jackson, OF the Commissioners of Emigra-
ton, yesterday, was letter addressed as fol-
lows:
ITO the most respectful man at Castle Gar
den, New York, u. s." The contents of the
communication were as curious and quaint
as the superscription. The writer, who is
evidently in very serious earnest, wants a
wife, and expresses himself as follows:

Sam Jones' Power.
ISouthern Biyouac for January.l

Southern Bivouac for January.l
He is perhaps the finest exhibition OF the
effect of apparently reserved force that we
have ever known. He never seems to know
that he is making any such impression;
yet, as he stands in easy, nonchalant atti-
tude, pausing between sentences as he leisure
ly walks the platform, seeming to select a
pebble from mountain of powders at his
command, he is the impersonation of re-
served force. The effect of this is simply
tremendous. This Is equally true when, as
a matter of fact, the sentences he is utter
ing are the crystallized result of the IN
tensest preparation of which he is capable,
and contain the ultimate light within his
reach. 1t is equally true when he is repeat
ing himself for the twentieth time to the
same audience. The faculty is marvellous,
and its power almost boundless.
After the influence over the masses, the
legitimate result of his unfagging wit, love,
and profound earnestness, the next element
of power is his reliance upon intuitive rather
than logical methods of stating truth Like
all men who nave moved the masses, he
dogmatizes, and that with such fury of ear
nestness that the nearer for the time at least,
does not stop to doubt.
Accompanying and as a part OF this
method is terse and remarkably lucid
statement of practical truth, put in the most
cogent and powerful form of which words
are capable.
All grammatical and rhetorical rules are
sacrificed, even a moderate respect for good
taste is ignored, if it be in the way of pun
gency and power. Usually the force of the
statement brushes its own way 10 conviction.
If the statement is regarded as not perfectly
lucid in ITSELF he never restates nor argues
it, but trusts to illustration, by watch meth
cd he escapes all confusion and keeps alive
keen interest Take his solution of the ques-
ton. Where does the evil of gambling lie?
He thus illustrates: "a gentleman said to
me, Why do you so denounce all games of
chance and speculations in futures? The
element of chance found in these runs
through all the transactions of life. If you
plant cotton crop, it IS a chance as to
whether you make or lose; you start on a
Christian course. it is a chance as to whether
you win or lose" Mr. Jones replies: "All
you say is true; but il | plant cotton and
should raise large crop and sell it at fine
price, is anybody else necessarily hurt there
by? II begin Christian life, and ran well
the race until a crown be won, is anybody
else hurt thereby2' No casuist who has once
heard him can forget the kernal which he
has thus deity disencumbered OF all husk.

THE HENDRICKS MONUMENT.
The Committee Greatly Encouraged by the
Interest Manifested in the Project.

Hon. John A. Holman returned from Chi
cago yesterday, where he had been in the in
terest of the Hendricks Monument fund.
Association he said:
1--WE are feeling very much encouraged at
the interest which is everywhere manifested
in the success of the monumental fund. Here
is a dispatch have just received from Hon.
Charles Levi Woodbury., one of the most
prominent and influential Democrats of Bos-
ton, who says: The Eastern friends of the
late Vice President are interested in your eff
forts to raise public monument to his men,
ory.' Yesterday a telegram of similar inn
port was received from General Roger
A. Pryor, in which he says the New York
friends and admirers of Mr.. Hendricks will
cordially cooperate L returned this morn
morning from chicago, where remarkable
interest is manifested A citizens commit
by Potter Palmer and Marshall Field, was
appointed last evening, and their action will
be supplemented by the organized efforts of
the 1roquois Club the county Democracy
and the Young Mems Democratic Club.
They are all enthusiastically interested and
exceedingly handsome results NAV be ex-
pected. st. Louis is likewise cooperating,
and a representative or the Executive Com
mittee is to meet gentlemen of that city on
Friday in relation to the matter. The
returns from the country at large
indicate a remarkable manifestation
of interest in the monument project. The
East West and North will all corporate,
and advices from Washington indicate that
considerable may be expected from that
quarter. Our own State is being vigorously
and methodically canvassed, and will yield
generous response. Indianapolis has not
been canvassed, and has been purposely
passed over until after the holidays. Com
mittees are now arranging for their work,
and the canvass will be commenced immedi-
ately. The work of the Executive Commit
tee has been prosecuted vigorously and I'M
remittingly, and the project is an assured
success If the information we have at hand
is at all trustworthy. Our intention is to
complete the raising of funds within sixty
days from the present time, and we believe
that can be accomplished"
The Chicago Herald, speaking of the move
ment there, says: AT the Iroquois Club
Rooms yesterday afternoon President Phelps
presided over meeting held for the purpose
OF taking some action favoring the erection
OF a 100000 monument to the late Vice
President at indianapolis. Judge Holman,
of indianapolis, was present TO lay the prof.
ect properly before the meeting. The follow
ing were appointed committee to take the
matter in charge in this city: Potter Pal
mer, Judge Gresham, Marshall Field, Writ

SENSATIONAL MARRIAGE.
A Young and Pretty Blonde of Cleveland
WEEDS a Dusky Adonis.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. There is great ex-
element among the residents of Brownell
street, a thoroughfare that crosses Euclid
avenue and penetrates the best residence
part of the city. Last night Miss Ina Nor
ton, a pretty blonde residing at No. 60
BroSnell street, went to 162 Prospect street
to participate in a social game of cards at a
party gathered at the house of a Miss English.
Throughout the evening she seemed extreme
ly nervous, ind at 10 p. m. requested some
one TO take her hand from her. Rising from
the table she went into the hall, and was
seen no more. Her parents, who were pres
cnt at the time, are very anxious
about the girls disappearance, and reported
the matter to police headquarters. This
morning il was learned that marriage Ii
cense had been issued to Gus Barber and
Merits /. Norton. Calling at the house on
Brownell street, q reporter was met at the
door by eolored domestic, who immedi-
ately asked: Are you a reporter An
swering in the affirmative. he was told that
Mrs. Norton could see no one. Inquiry of
the colored servant elected the fact that she
was very well acquainted with Barber, but
Mrs. Norton, who had evidently been listen
ing, appeared on the scene and said that there
was nothing to be stated. The reporter then
called at the home of Miss English. num-
Der of friends of the Norton family were
present and the following facts were ascer-
tained: The Norton family moved from
Seville, o., to Cleveland, three years ago, and
opened clearinghouse near the Hollenden
Hotel Two colored domestics were employed,
one of whom is at present with the family,
These girls had two lovers, Bragg and Barber,
both of whom were tonsorial artists. Barber
is a colored Adonis, and it transpires that his
affections were rapidly transferred from the
servant to her white mistress, and Miss Ina
did not seem to be averse to the same. Clan
destine meetings were frequent, the colored
girl acting 81 go-between, and on Wednes-
day afternoon Barbers colored chum, Bragg,
procured marriage license for him, and Mr..
Augustus Barber was united in marriage to
Miss Ina Norton, at the residence of Rev.
Gassoway, pastor of the African M. Il.
Church, on Erie street, Wednesday afternoon.
The lovers then separated. Miss Ina went to
the card party, and leaving her hand with
friend she went outside, met Barber, who
was in waiting with his faithful Bragg A
carriage whisked them to the Union Depot,
and it is supposed they took the train TO the

about merchant travelling on horseback
for some purpose. and accidentally dropped
his package OF money. The dog saw it.
The merchant did not. The dog barked to
stop him, and he rode farther, bounded IN
front of the horse and barked louder and
louder. The merchant thought he had gone
mad, drew a pistol from his pocket and shot
him. The wounded dog crawled back to the
package, and when the merchant discovered
his loss and rode back, he found his dying dog
laying there faithfully guarding his treasure.
The following little story told by a friend
of mine is not so painful, but adds force to
the thought, Think before you strike any

mountains of New Hampshire, L worked for
