A Great War Secret.

Prof. George F. Wilcox, of Chicago,
reveals in the Congregatiomalist, what
purports to be we'll kept secret of the
late war. He says that the purchase of
Alaska from Russia by the United States
government, in 1867, was for the purpose
Of paying a debt which President Lincoln
and Secretary Seward had contracted.
The story goes on to say that at the time
when it looked as though England and
France were going to take hold and help
the Confederacy in earnest, President
Lincoln secured from Russia feet OF
war vessels to help defend our ports and
to assist in maintaining the blockade.
The presence of Russian vessels off some
of our harbors was mystery at the time,
and they departed as mysteriously as they
came. Their departure was due. to the
fact that the apprehended danger from
England and France did not materialize,
and then the question arose how Russia
could be compensated. President Lincoln
had used his war power freely, and Con.
gress had backed him up, but here was q
bill for millions, and he feared that he
would be criticized for incurring it,
although it was wise thing to do when
he did it. While the President was
hesitating how to get at it the war closed ;
he was assassinated, and Mr.. Seward was
left to solve the problem. Russia wanted
the money, but she appreciated the situa-
tion and waited patiently. Finally the
project of getting Congress to authorize
the purchase of Alaska was bit upon, and
the $7,200,000 that re paid Russia for
Alaska was really in payment of the
feet bill, and Alaska was thrown in,
The secret was SO we'll kept that General
W. T. Sherman heard of it for the first
time in Russia, and be kept the story to
himself until recent army reunion.

Sherman Says Alger Bloodle Bought
his Southern Delegates,

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Sherman was asked to day if he attributed
his defeat at Chicago to the corrupt use
of money on the part of Alger men in
seduciDg Southern delegates from bis
support. He meditated some time before
replying; then he said,
II am told by friends of mine, delegates
and others, who have returned from Chi
cago, that the friends of Gen. Alger
made q most corrupt use of money in
influencing the votes of Southern dele.
gates, particularly the colored men. OF
course I have no personal knowledge
that these statements are true, but the
gentlemen who assure me of their accu-
racy are men of truth and honor. can
only say that if these means were employ.
ed to secure Gen. Alger's nomination it
fatally furnishes his reputation as sol.
dier and an honorable man."
From Mr.. Sherman's manner when
making this statement, it was plain to see
that he bitterly felt the truth of all the
charges of fraud made against the Alger
men. The men who managed Senator
Sherman's campaign have no hesitation in
talking boldly about the alleged fraud,
and they think Senator Sherman will not
be slow to present the proof if occasion
demands. AS to whether he will ever
take any steps in the matter, Senator
Sherman is not now prepared to say,
although he feels that the Alger men and
their money kept him from grasping the
prize be has sought for years, and which
be thinks be was fairly entitled to.-Mey

A Train Attacked by q Bull.

New YORK, June 8.-Mr. Otter, E
farmer of Garretson's Station, 8. L.,
always keeps good stock, but he is un.
fortunate ip The temper of his bulls.
During the past fey MONTHS one Of them,
beautiful animal, developed symptoms
of pure bovine cussedness. BE began
by terrifying children. chasing women
and grumbling at men. During the hot
weather of the past few days he became
dangerous. Rail or barbed wire fences
were of no import to him; he would
break through and 60 wherever he
pleased. One of his hobbies was to go
out on the railroad track and keep off
trespassers. In this voluntary service
be forgot himself. Last Sunday evening
he planted himself squarely in the centre
ofthe track. evidently bentupon stopping
Sunday traffic. Atrain approached the
engineer saw him and blew his loudest
and widest whistles. They were receiv-
ed yith contempt and answered with
snorts. no rapid transit bullgine could
scare the old fellow. Ee was in for a
muss aud he was bound to have il. go
was the engine. The engineer 'whistled
down brakes and sent out car splitting
steam screams. 1t vas all to no purpose.
fhe bull put himself in q fighting attitude
and paved the dqst into clouds, while he
accompanied the stesu gAistle with the
loudest and richest kind Of bass notes.
The locomotive struck him and rolled
him about sixty feet, the train slowing
douH all the time. With the agility OF a
cat he rega;ned his feet and furiously
charged the engine. This time he was
crushed under the wheels, an& half the
train passed over his body. IF the train
had been derailed crowd of excursion
lists might have been thrown down an
embankment. The news of the tragic
death of the bull 'wss received with joy
by all the children of Charleston.

A Blighted Life.

Many persons in the community will
recollect petite, pleasant looking young
lady, named Theodosia Yates, who assist.
ed Mrs. Hymes at the Darlington Hotel.
About four years ago, when Miss Dosia,
as she vas called, was but sixteen years
of age, party of horsedrovers put up at
the hotel for short time, and among
them was a pleasant smooth.spoken man,
aged forty. FIVE, named Gray. This gen.
tleman devoted himself particularly to
Miss Dosia, and in a short time the
engagement of the two was announced.
Her friends did not fancy the man and
tried to dissuade her from marrying him,
but he seemed to have gained some
fascination over her, and their efforts
we're of no avail. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Mr.. Jackson, who
was at that time stationed here, and the
couple left at once for the home of the
groom in Tennessee. A short time
afterwards there came along a man who
knew the whole history of Gray's worth
less life, and who reported among other
things, that Gray had a wife and eight
children at home, and that together with
the occupation of horsedrover, be com.
bined that of preacher. About four
months after her marriage the unfortunate
bride appeared in Florence, saying that
her husband had sent her there, where
he was to join her in short time.
Month after month went by in weary
waiting, end still the patient little woman
did not despair of her husbands ultimate
return. A little child was born to her,
lived few months and died, leaving her
again alone in the world. Finally the
unfortunate woman came again to OAR
lingtou, where she obtained employment
in the factory. A short time ago she
contracted measles, and fell victim to
the disease on Saturday last. She was
buried the following morning at the
Baptist Church. Nothing has been
heard of the rascal Gray since his pre-
tended marriage here, and it is putting it
mildly to say that this neighborhood
would not have been healthy one for
him on Sunday last A sad, sad life has
ended and in the cold and narrow grave
lies fair young girl whose brief earthly
career was blasted by the perfdy of one
of the grandest rascals unhung.-Dar.
kngton Neaps.
