MARRIEp on oUoHr TO BE,

that Is the question with John r. Will
son and Anna II. Megill, whose mar
rage we published on March Goth, up
on her written request and have refused
to contradict it, Notwithstanding solicit
ted to do 30 by Mr.. Wilson, until we
gained satisfactory proof 1t was not 50,
as Mr.. Wilson Is known to be a worse
tangler of the truth than Ananias or
Sapphira, and il 1t were so, had a good
motive to have it refuted AS he has u
QuintOD girl on his string.
Wilson is about a. sm0Othe tongued
fascinatOr aud fabricator us can he
found, and has got into several persons
pockets by his dishonest dealings. An
Eldridge Hill girl, It 10 reported, has u
first mortgage claim on him u year or
two old, but did not ~forecl0se because
she considered it worthless. After llav.
ing the denial published In the Salem
papers he told Miss Megill and her par
ems that lie did not have 1t published
and did not know who did.
We have a letter from Rev. John d.
C. Hanna, pastor Of Asbury Church
Wilmington, which states that he never
married these persons, nor they
ever married at that charge. The girl
when shown the letter said she Ia mar
ried but refused to say any thing fur
Their. At the time the marriage is re.
ported to have taken place Miss Megill
worked for Mrs. Mounce, sos E. 4th
st., Wilmington, and Wilson boarded
there. They told her they were mar
ried In Camden but as she refused TO
show her certificate Mrs. MOunce dis
charged her. Wilson got his clothes
from there by lying to her and still
owes her a few dollars board.
To get married In Delaware q man
has to get a marriage license from the
Clerk Of the Peace at a cost Of 50 and
give bonds to support his wife to the
amount of $500. The records show
that Wilson did not get a license from
the Clerk of the Peace between the mid
die of December and the present time,
nor could he as we doubt whether any
one would go on his bond. There is no
record in the Registers office that they
were ever married. Therefore, they
were never married IN Wilmington this
year. As Wilson represents to her
parents that they are married and
promised to support her, which he has
not done, but denies it when it comes
into conflict with his going to see the
Quinton girl, it looks like q conspiracy
to lie and deceive all around, and that
some body is getting ready to get free
board In Salem Jail or at Trenton il a
certificate is not shown o or a mar
riage takes place.

Incredible Cruelty.

During the Guatemala Salvador war
several young American telegraph opera
tors in Guatemala were engaged In en-
deavoring to keep up coununfcutior on
She wire with the army. One OF these
told me that one day when he aud some'
of his colleagues were riding with SAN,
chez. the leader of the late revolution,
thew nassed field in which some peons
were working. Sanchez looked at them,!
and said in a careless way: 81 wonder
how nv nerves are to-daya" He then
uns,un@ his Winchester from his saddle,
took aim and bowled over one OF the
neons. The Others ran for their lives.
sanchez again drew bead and knocked
over another man. Then, apparently
satisfied that his nerve was all right, he
nut back his rifle and rode along. 1t Is
also said OF him that during the war
drummer boy, about sixteen, who had
become homesick aud wanted to return
home. broke down and began crying.
He blubbered around Sanchezs tent ana
asked his chief for permission to &c
home.
Eyes, you may go home" said san
chez. aud without more ado he drew nj
revolver and shot the boy dead.
On one occasion, when his artiller,
was surrounded in battle, the only es
y cape was up an almost impossible hill
+ side. Sanchez ordered his men to seal
+ it with their guns. He stayed behin
and as a man began to straggle Sanche
shot him dead. He escaped with N
ty guns.
i, Sanchez is only twenty-seven yea
te old, but is one of the most determine
d. men ever heard Of chicago NeDa.

2 1t Is curious reflection on the intelli
gence of mankind that while animals
easily learn our language, we make no
advance at all in learning theirs. One
cannot help hoping that some future
generation OF men may be sufficiently
kind and patient and large-hearted to
believe that what these dependent Great
ures have to say to us may sometimes be
as important as yhat we have to say to
them, and to act accordingly.
