WILL WE'D A KING.
Being Educated In Am~rlcs for the Bride
of African Chief

In London County. Virginia. not
very far from Washington. there is
girl who will some day contract an al
lance with a king. Her dresses on
that occasion will not be particularly
splendid. aud for that reason perhaps,
the event has not attracted the aten-
ton that such marriages usually do.
The truth is that the girl is negress
aud the man she will marry is king of
a tribe in Africa. She is at present
being trained for her future position in
Africa court circles aud is an inmate of
tue family of Rev. John 5. Chester u
Clergyman who several years ago was
missionary TO the west coast of Africa.
His wife became very fond OF young
African girl while he was there and
asked permission that she return with
them when they left the dark CONT
ncnt. Her father. thinking the mis-
sionary was joking, gave his consent,
but when the time came Tor parting
wanted to he released from his prom
Use. Chester still persisted in his re-
quest, and finally, Us no member of
the tribe is allowed under pain of death
To break II promise, lie had TO allow
his dau -hter To depart.
The child was given the English
name of Ne lie instead OF the unpro-
nounceable cognOmen which she ut
first possessed. aud although Chester
aiready had children of his own she
was treated as member Of the family.
Since Nellie has been in the United
States she has made great progress in
her education. aud now at the aye OF
fifteen is u model of scholarship and
politeness. She can speak French and
English well aud combines the win
ming ways of an American girl with
the poiteness of Il Partisan. Nellie
looks much older than she really is aud
would be eligible to marriage If sue
were with her own tribe.
Since they came here the Chesters
have kept up correspondence with
the parents of the girl, who have been
delighted with the progress which they
have learned that she is making under
her instructors. About month ago
they received Il letter from her father
asking that she he returned to Africa,
rs the king wished TO claim his bride.
Tue tribe of which she is member
is polygamous one and Chester
refused to do this unless the girl WIS
to he the kings only queen. The king.
who is charmed with the stories about
Nellie. has promised to do as asked,
and it is likely that within few
months Nellie will be sent back TO
mount throne in her native land.
She has had several offers of mar
riage from negroes living near her
home. but she has refused them all
and the king will lind her heart whole
and fancy free. Airican-likc. she does
not care much for sentiment and seems
perfectly content to we'd man many
years her senior and whom she has no,
seen since she was very small child.

TO export as many think. The short
crop Of last year has stripped this coun-
try bare Of wheat and corn, and 1t will
take large part of the new crop before
the markets Of the country are saturated
and the cracks filed up. As the farm
ers keep selling their grain at the pres
ent prices their financial burdens will
become easier, and they will be in posi-
ton to hold back portion of their crops,
to wait for the higher prices which are
sure to come. In the second place, there
is tremendous deficit in Europe. The
vast extent of this deficit cannot be
doubted when papers like the London
Times and Standard admit it,"
Mr.. BoOkwalter thinks this country
saw the lowest prices for grain in the
last half decade it will ever see. He is
one of the greatest authorities on grain
in the country and his opinion Is of
great value.

that no man will remain away next year
because of the few discomforts suf-
fered the first couple of days here.
Captain Colley Shrivtr, OF the Beth
any Company, was called home to-day
by the condition of one of his patients,
but will return Saturday. Lieutenant
Camden Sommers, of the Clarksburg
Company, has been detailed to COM
mand Captain Shriver's company during
his absence.
The Hinton Company recovered its
stray baggage this morning, lost on the
road, and the command is again happy.
One of the things which delayed
breakfast this morning was the total
absence of anything in the shape OF
bread. -Four hundred loaves-enough
for one meal-arrived on the early
train from Clarksburg, with two cars OF
miscellaneous eatables, and six hundred
loaves came in at noon. Six hundred
more were due last night, and their ar
rival settled the bread famine, in short
order. A third car of general supplies
got in at noon, also.
A ball is talked of before the camp
breaks up, and it is to be hoped 1t will
be given. General Spilman said to-day
he would give his consent, il the request
was made.
Adjutant General Oxley exhibited the
regimental flags yesterday. They are
OF blue silk. hand-painted with the coat
of arms of the State. and an appropriate
inscription, and are beauties.
Some delays and misunderstanding
! were caused yesterday by general staff
officers transmitting orders to company
! commanders, instead of through regi-
mental headquarters. General Spilman
will regulate this In the future.
The people around the camp are glad
to have the boys about. They are good
company. One farmer sent a bushel Of
peaches to Brigade headquarters this
morning, and two others sent bags Of
eating apples during the day, to the
same place.
The cannon did not arrive yesterday
morning, being delayed at Shinnston.

GAINESVILLE, o., September 3.-The
strike at the Watt Mining Car Wheel
Company's works still continues, al
though they have about one-half of their
usual force of men at work to-day. In
an interview with Mr.. James Watt,
President Of the company, he said that
the men all made an agreement that on
and after May lst, 1886 they would con-
slider ten hours a days work. This
agreement has not been enforced up to
now, and now they do not ask them to
put in the ten hours, but little over
nine. The men would not agree to this,
and consequently left the shop. The
company would prefer to have their old
force. but should they fail to agree and
go to work in the morning they VIII
take steps at once toward procuring
new men. 1t Is rumored tonight that
the machine shop men will go out to-
morrow; but little faith is placed in the
story.
