She at last consented on one condition
that her husband should accompany Lii
liam, leaving Alfred to supply his fathers
place at home.
Mr.. Newton and his daughter reached
the camp without any delay, sending
back by the magic wires an immediate
report of their safe arrival and the com
fort their presence gave the anxious chill
dren.
At noon the next day came the fol-
lowing:
"Ralph is safely with us. Expect a
letter the next mail"
The letter came in due time, as fol-
lows:
"Dunbar's wound in the left arm,
from bayonet thrust, was slight, and
would not have kept him from his work
day, but at the same time he was
knocked from his horse, rescued by his
men and carried from the field.
George and Ralph have been wonder
fully preserved. Their regiment was
among the most fearless and daring"
In a letter to his wife Mr.. Newton
thus describes how Ralph appeared in
the Union lines:
yesterday afternoon as we were
seated in Eustace's tent q loud shout from
his men outside brought us all upon the
grounds. Great excitement was mani
tested by all, and repeated cheers from
the front sounded strangely out Of place
where all but d moment before had been
quiet, moody Or respondent. AS the
men saw the colonel leave his tent they
made way for us to pass toward the front,
and in the distance we saw that a horse
man riding furiously was the occasion
of the excitement. The instant Dunbar
espied him he exclaimed: Look! Surely
I cannot be mistaken. That is Prince,
but such uniform-who can the rider
be-? 1t was their colonel's well known
horse the men had cheered so heartily,
but they now stood anxiously waiting for
a nearer approach to recognize the rider.
''It was but O. moments suspense be-
fore, without checking his headlong
speed, he stripped the rebel coat from his
shoulders, threw it from him and raising
the cap from his head tossed it high in
the air to fall in the ditch beyond, with
a full, joyous 'Hurrahv which was an
swered by the most deafening cheers.
We all recognized that voice. Rose
sprang forward, crying Ralph! Ralph!
my darling brotherp as he dashed into
our midst flung himself from the pant
ing horse and clasped her in his arms"
The letter still further explained that
on the first night of Ralph's capture
those who had charge of the prisoners en-
camped in wood not many miles from
Bull Run, being unable to proceed far
ther and confident that our army had
been too greatly dispirited to rally suffi-
GENTLY to regain what they had so need
lessly lost. From the first Ralph was
determined to escape before he reached
their prison house. A guard was placed
over him, who abused and insulted him
in the most heartless and unnatural man
ner He assumed meanwhile weary,
dispirited manner, and at last appeared
to sink into the heavy sleep of great ex-
exhaustion. This after a time relaxed
their vigilance, and they yielded to fa-
tigue and whisky, which soon completely

CHANCELLOR CAPRTFI'S ADDRESS.
A Rupture Between the Governments ana
Conservatives.

BERLIN, Feb. n.-Chancellor CapriVi
delivered a powerful address In the
Reichstag to-day. He declared with un-
usual vehemence that the attacks which
the Agrarian and Anti-Semenc parues
were directing against the Government
and himself would never move him TO
resign. If the Agrarians, he exclaimed,
had any special grievances or desires,
let them declare what they are, and the
Government will give them due eohsid-
Grafton; but vague attacks must be
stopped. 1t was impossible that the Gov
ernment should accept bi-metaiiism be-
cause IL was neither able TO PROFOUND

regard International markets.

of Anti-Semetism were already running

declared In conclusion, he would prefer
TO relinquish the burdens of office. but
IN accord with that spirit OF old Prussfan
fidelity he would remain to fulfill his duty
and to serve the interests OF the En-
peror and OF the Empire. The speech

BR4DSTREET'S REPORT.
Features of the General Trade Situation
for the Week.

NEW YORK, Feb. r.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Features Of the general
trade situation this week include check
to business South and in portions Of the
West and North because OF nnfayorable
weather and resulting bad roads. Lead

low grades of cattle and hogs are lower
in price. while advances are noted in
print cloths. leather. hides. lard. sugar.
white pine lumber. rubber goods and In
Bessemer Dig iron and steel at Pittsburg
Decrease of 5-Sc in cotton prices appears
based on the same unexpected free move
ment, which points. unless there should
be a perpendicular drop in receipts, to
crop OF not far from 6,000,000 bales. In
stead of the lower totals so vigorously
advanced a few weeks ago. kilograms
from leading Southern markets agree that
continued wet weather has had an un-
favorable effect on general trade, and
muddy roadways have checked movements
OF commercial travellers as well as mer~
camille collections. Al Nashville country
merchants are making purchases In per-
son rather more numerously than else
where, but Charleston, Memphis. Atlanta.
Birmingham and Galveston unite in re-
porting the other features mentioned.
The carnival has interfered with whole
sale trade at New Orleans. Depression in

for some of the check to trading on the
part of the interior Southern merchants.
