A Rebellion Romance.
st, Louis Globe-Democrat.


Nelson Holden, of Troupe county,
Ca, Joined one of the first regiments
from that State when the war broke
out. He left behind young wife,
having been married only a few
months. Holden was good soldier,
and only once did he obtain a fur
lough and visit his wife. He was
at home for a short time in the sum-
mer of 1868, and soon after he re-
turned he was taken prisoner. Be-
fore Holden had an opportunity of
writing to his wife after his capture,
he was taken ill with a slow malarial
fever. When captured Holden had
become separated from his company,
and his comrades thought he had
been killed in the battle. Mrs. Hol.
den's first notice of the supposed
death of her husband was contained
by some resolutions passed by his
company, a copy OF which was for
warded to the family. Without max
ing any investigation. Mrs. Holden
mourned her husband as dead. while
he was lingering between life and
death in a Northern prison. 1t was
many months before he fully recOY-
cred from the effects of the terrible
fever. Holden was not released un-
til after the close of the war, and,
weak from his long illness and pen
niless, he started to make his way
back to the little home in Georgia.
He was compelled to seek employ
mept several times to earn money to
continue his journey, and it was late
in the autumn of 1865 when Holden
came in sight of the little home. He
was a wreck of his former self, and
fully realized that it would be diff
cult for his own wife to recognize
him.
Arriving at the home he had left
more than two years before, Holden
found it occupied by strangers. With.
out disclosing his identity he asked
where Mrs. Holden was. sch, she
married Chris Jones and Moved
away last spring." was the answer he
received.
Holden was Frustrated by the shock
of this startling intelligence. but
without giving his name. he turned
and walked slowly from the little
home where the happiest hours ofhis
life had been passed. He made no
effort to find his wife, but continued
his journey to Clay county. Ala
Holden worked awhile as farm la
borer, and finally saved enough mon
ey to purchase small farm of his
own. In time the old love was for
gotten and he married again. Holden
prospered, and after few years own

was not long until his first marriage
seemed like a dream. About foul
years ago Mrs. Holden No. 2 died
leaving five children.
About year after the death of his
wife Mr.. Holden sold a portion of hi'
farm to a man named Jones, from
Georgia. Mr.. Jones built house

The recent organization of a company

The recent organization of a company
with ample capital to develop the tin
mines in the Black Hills. which are now
pretty well demonstrated to be album
dant in ore, will apparently lead to the
growth of a great industry in the manu-
facture of tin plate. This country has
been paying $l7 100000 a year for its tin
plate and has been entirely dependent
upon other countries for this i~ndispensa-
BILE article. The Illinois Iron and Steel
company which has a paid up capital of
$lS,000,000, which it is proposed to raise
to So, 900, 600, intends to commence the
manufacture of the plate from the Black
Hills ore. 1t is believed that inventive
ingenuity and skill will perfect the pro-
cess for removing the mica from the ore,
and that this country will be able to
supply its W market, at least. 1t viii
materially add to the wealth and in,
dustries Of the Black Hills.-St. Pau

Wham, paymaster United States army,
with his clerk, Gibbon, and an escor OF
eleven soldiers, were on their way this
afternoon to pay the post at Fort

few miles north of Cedar Springs. they
were attacked by a party of ambushed
men. A constant fire was kept up for
nearly half an hour, when eight Of the
escort were wounded, five dangerously.
The robbers succeeded in securing $780,
600 and escaped to the mountains.

BY some recent computation it is
found that Chicago people yearly sink
5 $500, 900 in lottery schemes, the bulk
of it going to that octopus in Louisiana
operated under state auspices. The
laws in Illinois prohibit the sale of
tickets, as in most other states, but are
constantly violated. A tax Of So a head
for the support ofthe sleek benefciaries
in the distant state would not be paid
very cheerfully in any locality, but there
is hardly a city or town in the north
that is not a large contributor to this
purpose. Thousands of dollars 60 from
st. Paul every month. Men of small
means set apart a fixed sum each month
for the lottery sharks, probably more
than they pay the preacher. Attempts
to prohibit the use Of the mails in the
matter meet little success, as they are
easily evaded, and in fact most of the
money is sent by express. There seems
no way to etfectually cure people of this
folly, except by costly experience.-St.
Paul Globe.

nearly all contributed by Englisbmen
to develop the California tin mines and
make tin plates. Another company,
with a similar purpose in view, is also
said to have been organized to develop
some Of the tin mines in the Black
Hills. Last year it is said that one hun
dred million cans were used on this
coast. Great Britain has 203 plato mills,
employing it is said 100000 men. 1t is

that time arrives. tin plates will be
greatly reduced from their present price

Millions in 1t.

Secretary Farley, Of the Dubuque
board Of trade exhibited in his office a
specimen of the ore containing tin and
mica recently found in the Black Hills
in enormous quantities. The specimen
comes from the board Of trade of Rapid
City. Mr.. Potter, of the North Chicago
Rolling mills was reported in the Tele-
graphs dispatches this week as having
said that bad it not been demonstrated
that the mica and the tin could be
separated readily, but his company
would experiment and that, should the
experiment prove successful, America
would soon cease to rely on England for
her tin for which she at present pays
that nation millions upon millions
However, the Rapid City board of trade
asserts it has been demonstrated that
the separation can be made with the
utmost facility. Secretary Farley has
written for a specimen Of the pure tin,
