Sfx Accommodating Wives.

The attention of Gen. Hancock. Com
mander of the United States troops at
Governors island and in the bay forts,
has been tragically called to the peculiar
matrimonial methods Of some of his
soldiers. Near Fort Hamilton is ho-
tel long infamous as the home of great
thieves and training place for great
pugilists. 1t was until lately, kept by
Red Leary, ofcontinental fame as a pro-
nounced scoundrel, and he made it a
hiding refuge for criminals. It's present
hostess is Pauline Ramsey.
Peter Hanson committed suicide there
a few days ago, because his bride. who
boarded there, insisted on informally di-
vorcing herself from him and marrying a
Sergeant Borden, one ofGcn. Hancock's
subordinates. The young wife was 4
pretty daughter of Mrs. Ramsey, and
investigation proves that two Of her sis
ters are the wives of Corporals stationed
at Fort Hamilton. Altogether seven
couples, composed Of regular army men
and Brooklyn girls, are living in the
nelghborhood. Marriage ceremonies have
legally united them, but in every case
there is an agreement that the wedlock
shall cease on the transfer of the soldiers
to another post.
The six wives have positively promis-
ed to be deserted without ado, and their
matrimony amounts practically to an
enlistment for the uncertain term OF
their husbands stay in his neighborhood.
Mrs. Ramsey is understood to have in
vented the peculiar system which Gen.
Hancock will at once destroy, if he can.
Two of the men are believed to have
wives elsewhere, and if so they will be
nrnserutnd for hiramV.

taxes for the fiscal year have been paid,

million dollars to it's credit. It is
thought that in the course of two or

tax year without any extra levy, if the
Legislature will refrain from spending
all the money it can get its hands on in

from the eternal abode!

The Columbia correspondent of tt

The Columbia correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle, says:
There is some dispute among the
friends of the different gentlemen as
to who is the real leader Of the so-called
reform movement in South Carolina.
The friends of Captain Tillman claim
the credit for him, and those of Colonel
Tupper, Of the Summerville Herald,
say that the latter gentleman inaugu-
rated the movement"
What difference does it make who in
augurated the movement. We hope
these gentlemen are not claiming pri-
ority in this matter for the sake of try
ing to get Office, if the movement does
cometo anything. Office seeking should
be left to the politicians, by the re-
formers. We are afraid the whole thing
is gotten up for the purpose OF hood
winking the farmers, and fOOling them
into electing few sore-heads to Office.
The movement begins to look that way

sid she had no money TO employ an at
