a Romantic Affair Reported From
North Carolina.

A romantic marriage was performed
at the little town Of Newton, which
attracts much attention, and is the
sequel of a curious complication.
Seventeen years ago, Mrs. Eliza
beth Ferguson was living in Rowan
County with her first husband, John
B. Ferguson. One day he, OF some
pretext or other, went to Georgia.
The wife patiently awaited his re-
turn for two years, and finally heard
he was dead. After many years Of
supposed widowhood, she went to
live as housekecper in the family Of
Mr.. A. Hale, a wealthy retired jew
eler Of Charlotte, who had moved ON
a farm he owned in her neighbor-
hood. on account Of the delicate
health of his wife.
Mrs. Hale died, and eighteen
months ago Mr.. Hale married Mrs.
Ferguson. They lived happily un-
til month or two ago, when it was
discovered that Ferguson, after going
to Georgia, had married another
woman and was still alive. Steps
were at once taken by Mrs. Fergu-
son, now Mrs. Hale, to obtain a d.
vorce, and proceedings were begun
in Catawba County superior court by
publishing the facts. the court at
once granted to Mrs. Ferguson an
absolute divorce.
Last night, at the Haynes house,
in the presence Of Judge Boyklu, ex-
Congressman Armfield and many
prominent lawyers, Mr.. Hale and his
wife were united firmly. They were
serenaded by the band, and large
crowd was attracted to the house.
All felt in sympathy with the bride
and groom over the happy termina,
ton of their trouble.

Mackey'S Escapade. I.

Mrs. Witherbee the woman who
elopcd from Washington with ex-
Judge Mackey, has returned from
Bismarck to New York, where she is
giving her side to the reasons for
wanting a divorce from Ler husband.
She says that she was fooled into
marrying him. He represented tina.
he was worth $4,000 a year. but the
facts proved that he was only clerk
on a salary of SIS per month. She
accuses her husband Of deceiving her
into lending him money, and ex-
presses the greatest contempt for
him. According to the following,
from the Washington Star, it would
seem that Mrs. Mackey is seeking 4
divorce from her errant spouse: The
equity docket at the office Of the
Clerk Of the Court shows the filing
of two bills by Mrs. Rosina Mackey
against Thomas J. Mackey. The
papers have been withdrawn, but it
can be stated that one is for a di,
vorce on the grounds of desertion.
The other bill is to have the prop
erty on Capitol Hill, standing in re-
spondent's name as trustee, vested
in her. She alleges that said prop,
erty was purchased with money de-
rived from the sale of her property
in South Carolina.

Our Strides in Population.
.ltIautd Constitution.

Tie recent estimates Of our popu-
lation. published in the New \ ork
H0riN almanac for 1855. are valua-
ble and interesting.
The total population Of this coun~
try, with the exception Of the Indian
territory, is now supposed To be
G2,S7422722, as compared with the re-
turn Of 5O,l55,7S3, given in the last
census. This increase Of about thir-
teen millions in eight years, makes
it fair to predict that by 1890, our
population will reach 66,O0O,OOO.
Each State has made large gains in
the last eight years, but the most
notable are in Kansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, North Carolina, Georgia. Tex
as and Dakota. 1t is believed that
in Georgia we have gained 100000
since 1880.
The estimated population of the
large cities will be q surprise to
many people. New York figures
with 100000, Philadelphia with
l,0+3,69S, Brooklyn with 759,755,
Chicago with S5O,O00, and St. Louis
with jU0,OO0.
At this rate of progress it is plain
to see that we are going to have a
great country, with some Of the big
gest cities on the face Of the earth.

NEW YORK TIE BATTLE.
Tie indications are that New York
will again be the principal battle
ground, and it therefore behooves
the party leaders there to adjust their
personal differences without any out.
side indifference, and get into line
with as little delay as possible. The
recent controversity as to who shall
succeed Hubert o. Thompson, de-
ceased, as a member Of the national
committee, was regarded here as un-
fortunate and not calculated to pro-
duce good results. Mr.. Flower 5
friends, at least some Of them, were
surprised that lie should aspire to q
place on the committee in view of
the fact that in the last convention
he WAS mentioned as presidential
possibility, under certain circum'
stances. 1t is true he was a liberal con-
tributor to the campaign fund, and
by some it is said that his donations
amounted to about $4,000. There
fore, if it would afford him any per-
sonal qualification to be one Of New
Iork's representatives in the Con-
venuon, no harm should come from
granting him that privilege.

The Advantage Of a Thick Skull.

RALEIGH, n. c., Februory T.
Yesterday, near Egypt. in Chatham
County, while James Gilmore was
operating his cotton gin it suddenly
stopped. He was puzzled to account
for this sudden stoppage. On care
full examination he found a negro,
one Of the employees, lying under the
overshot wheel, his head wedged be
tween the wheel and rock in the
bed Of the stream. The negro, while
riding on the shaft of the wheel, had
been thrown from his balance, his
head striking under the wheel. Gil
more pulled him out in an unconscious
state and went for a doctor On re.
turning, to his great surprise, he
found the negro welking about. The
adamantine skull of the negro saved
his life. The case is without a par
allel in this State.

Cid keepsakes Recovered.

Representative Dibble has call.
ed at the treasury department and
recovered, under recent Act Of
Congress, two old pieces of silver
ware, knife and a folk marked
"Shand.Smytb," which have been
locked up in the vaults Of the treas
ury for SO many years, with other
property that fell into the hands Of
the Government and abandoned prop
erty division after the war closed.
The knife and fork mentioned are
claimed by one Of Mr.. Dibble's con-
stltuents residing in Charleston. He
says there is also a silver spoon
marked Emily +. Boag, and watch
seal, the design Of which represents
pelican feeding her young. These
articles are also supposed to be owned
in Charleston. They have but little
intrinsic value, but the memories
which cluster around them render
them very dear to their rightful own
erS.

4 Romance of the Blizzard

A Sioux City dispatch 10 the New
York Tribune says: The recent
blizzard was not without romantic
features. Nesting close to the Chey-
enne River, within the shades Of the
rugged bluffs Of that treacherous
stream was once rude log cabin, in
which dwelt what in Weston parlance
was known as "squaw man." one
Of the worst renegades and despera-
does that terrorize that section Of the
country. He was a French Canadian,
known as Robeaun, and he married
a comely Indian. They had one child,
a rosy.cheeked, browhed-eyed girl
known as Lillian. Old Robeaun was
hanged by band of vigilantes and
his wife soon after died. The young
girl became the protege Of family
at Chamberlain, and grew up hand
some and accomplished young wo
man. Just previous to the recent
blizzard Lillian visited friends at
Huron, and on the day of the storm
had gone q short distance in the
country to see a friend. Among the
arrivals at Huron OH January II was
Harry Dgi@bee, q traveller for a st.
Louis wholesale house. The day Of
that dreadful storm he found him.
self in the suburbs Of Huron. The
hliZZard came upon him. After
wandering about for half an hour, he
was astonished to come across in q
deep drift q woman. Assisting her
from what most likely would have
proved her temporary grave the pair
set out together to seek for shelter.
After struggling through the snow
for nearly an hour, they reached q
farm house, where kindly care re.
stored them. The woman was Lii.
lian Robeaun. Monday nights train
to this city had aboard two happy
young people and at the hotel quiet
wedding took place. Lillian, the
handsome daughter of the once noto.
Tious Robeaun, became the wife Of
Harry Oglebce."

Not a Great Man.
Ner 0rk San.

We read with interest the columns
Of our esteem contemporary. the
Troy Press; but we have at last
found there sn expression with which
it is impossible to wholly agree:
Lincoln was i great man, and so
was Grant"
About Mr.. Lincoln this is entirely
true; but about Gen. Grant it is only
partly true. He had many admirable
qualities, and in suoduing the rebel
lion he did great things, which will
not be forgotten; but he was proba-
bly, the worst president that the
United States has ever had. His dis
regard for the principles Of personal
liberty and personal honor was eN
treme; jobs aboundcd and corruption
fourished under him as it never
tlourished before; and we trust in
God that it will never flourish so
again. Think Of Boss Shepherd 5
swindles, Of the wLiskey ring, and of
Robeson's stealing in the ravv :,
And President Grant protected and
encouraged it all, He was a great and
fortunate soldier, but a great man
he was not.

THE HOME OF THE BLIZZARD.
An Interesting Theory OF the Origin
Of Them.

In speaking Of billiards. even the
scientific signal service man IS &C.
customed to say that "Manitoba'
wave is coming, and this has been so
often reiterated that many people
have at last come to believe that bliz-
yards are home productions of that
section OF the Canadian Dominion.
Manitoba, however, can hardly carry
off the credit for raising the wind in
this extraordinary manner. The ORR
gin and operation of the billiards
and their partiality for Dakota, west
ern Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska and the territory even far.
ther south are worth at least a little
theorizing.
Why is it that east of the Missis-
sippi river they arc only felt with d.
minisLed force, and east of the Ohio
line; for instance, that is in the CEN
tral States. New York and New Eng.
land, hardly at all? The reply seems
to be simple one. The southern
part of British America, from Labra.
dor west to the upper shores of Lake
Superior, is traversed by what is
known IS the Laurentian, and at the
extreme west of the Huronian noun
taius, composed in reality of an en-.
ormous rock formation, the Oldest
vet discovered, with no shells or fos.
sils to tell US its age or at what time
it lifted its great wall above the wa
ters. 1t is the oldest sedimentary
rock found on the globe. The thick.
ness of its beds has been estimated
at 10000 feet. 1t rises in hills and
mountains 1000 feet high, and on
the gorges Of the Saguenay forms
sheer cliffs 1,400 feet high. 1t makes
solid, everlasting rock barrier no
wind, be it blizzard or tornado, can
pass. 1t shelters all the country to
the south of it from the icy blasts
sweeping down from the Arctic re-
gions. At its western limit they may
strike against it and defect like wa
ter meeting an obstacle. and in Wis
consiD, eastern Minnesota, Michigan,
and Illinois they may be felt with
diminished force. West Of that limit,
however, there is no break. Between
a line from that point north and
south and the Rockies and Sierras,
which guard all to the west of them,
stretches one vast unbroken plateau
from the polar regions straight south
to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the
plateau Boreas, starting from the
pole, finds no obstruction in his path.
He comes down with a rush, sweep
ing everything before him. chilling
and freezing everything he encoun.
ters, and planting his snow, sleet and
ice even on the shores Of the far off
Cuff of Mexico. The more favored
regions south of these gigantic noun
tains of rock interposing their friend
ly barrier know little Of the terrors
of these bitter Arctic currents, which
carry death and destruction along
with them to the dwellers on the
plain. Manitoba is only mid.station
on the road from the pole tc the gulf,
it is not the home of the blizzard.

REGULATORS IN COLLETON.
The Unlawful Destruction OF Cross.
roads BarrOom.

The fragrant violation of the law
in Collcton county as regards the
illicit barrooms which can be found
in almost any corner Of the county,
is subject of general comment, and
public sentiment, as on such subjects.
is much divided. An effort was made
during the last session Of the Legisla-
ture to allow a license system, but
the Representatives were equally di.
vided, and tue bill went by for moth
ing. Now, the evil has not been
abated, and the small sized cross
roads 5arrooms are growing in num-
Der and paying not cent of revenue
into the county Golfers.
To some communities the system as
it now stands Is exceedingly odious,
and here is the way they abate the
nuisance over in St. Georges Parish,
Colleton County. Mr.. 6. Albert
Beach, of St. Bartholomew Parish,
opened across the Edisto river in St.
Georges Parish, sometimein Decem-
Der last, a fourishing little bar on
the roadside. The proprietor was
Immediately served with the notice
anonymously that it would be best
for him to close by January l. To
this no attention was paid, and the
roadside resort" continued to -four
ish until exterminated by band of
masked regulators.
Mr.. Beach says that about II
o'clock at night about twenty men
well disguised came up to his bar
and three of the number seized the
clerk, G.. w. Shaw, an forcibly car
ried him q hundred yards off and de-
tanned him until the band finished
their unlawful act Of destruction.
The regulators then took the law
in their own hands, destroying his
United States license and breaking in
the heads of two barrels and three
kegs of whisky, tearing off the sides
and front of the building. AS re-
ward for their unlawful exertions
they carried off about two quarts Of
wbiskey each. They did not confne
their depredations alone to the liquor,
but also carried away a box of cigars,
pistol and fine umbrella.
This took place IN the same neigh
borhood that was visited by similar
band who cut up a corn field last
year. In all probability these regu.
lators are the same band, and believe
alike in free COWS and free whisky.
