Horace Greeley and His Bride.

Hofhce oTecicy anu hfs
when he was first married and
brought his bride home on visit, +"
said an old acquaintance, "a sugar
party was given in their honor on a
neighboring farm. All the guests had
arrived, and we were looking out,
watching for the belated bride and
groom. At last we saw something
appearing in the distance. AS this
same object came nearer we discov-
cred it was the old white horse of the
Greeleys, slowly picking his way
through the mud On his back sat
the bride in brilliant yellow frock,
with a green velvet belt, and behind
her, wrapped in his famous white
overcoat, sat the editor of the New
York Tribune. 1t was the funniest
sight ever saw and set us off in fits
of laughing. L remember" conclud-
ed my informant. laughing again at
her recollection, that l SIMPLY lay
down and rolled upon the floor in a
spasm of mirth."
Mr. Greeley came home every year
and after a day or two on the farm
would start out to walk miles and
call on people. He was never known
to knock at a farmhouse door No
matter whether he knew the inmates
or not, he would push open the door,
walk right in, sit down by the fire
place and fall to discussing crops and
other topics dear to the farmers
heart. Everybody was glad to well
come this gentle, brusque intruder.

REED Is SARCASTIC.
He Says the Tariff Bill il All Right Except
in Four Hundred Points.

Washington special: Reed author
ized the following concerning the tariff
amendments: "The presentation by
the senate finance committee of 81
pages of amendments, apparently
more than 400, is a delicate compli-
ment to Mr. Wilson and his house of
representatives. 1t virtually says the
house bill is right except on four or five
hundred points.
This will hardly tend to restore
confidence in the country, especially
as every amendment smacks OF prior
ignorance or present barter. Evil
IDENTIFY it will be the duty OF the sem
ate to fully investigate the proposed
amendments, for when the committee
on finance refused hearings because it
knew intuitively all things, but finds,
by some kind of back stairs influence,
it has made 400 mistakes, it is evil
dent that the committee bears watch
ing"

Dickens and His Wife.

NY first view of Dickens was at an
evening party when he was standing
in the midst of a circle of ladies re-
ieving himself in very energetic
terms of his impressions de voyage.
His hair was long and light and
looked as if it had not recovered
from the tangle incident to days of
seasick misery. He had brought
with him two velvet waistcoats of
full dress, one a vivid green, the
other a brilliant crimson. These
were further ornamented by pro
fusion of gold watch chain. In 1S41
a black satin waistcoat was almost
the national costume of gentleman
in America, so that Mr.. Dickens Wv
id tints were very conspicuous.
Mrs. Dickens was a small woman
of about 80. Her position as the
lions mate seemed embarrassing to
her. She was not accustomed to
dwell in 1.-The fierce light" that shone
upon every deed and word of the
popular idol, and she evidently found
satisfaction in quiet talks with me
concerning the best shops in Oxford
street and other such homely and
familiar matters. There was no sign
then of any disagreement or incom-
patibility between husband and wife.
On the whole should have said that
in those days Mrs. Dickens showed
signs of having been born and bred
her husbands social superior.-Eliza-

treme cold. The only man Alexander
took into his confidence was Dave
Dinslow, with whom he was stopping.
A few weeks later while the two men
were prospecting they were discovered
by parties from Glasgow and the
secret, so closely guarded for IL third
of a century, was made public and is
nov drawing a horde of men in that
direction from all sections of the
country.
"As far as ] can learn, there is every
reason to believe there is gold there in
paying quantities, but whether the
field is extensive enough to build up a
thriving mining camp OF the placer
variety remains to be seen when the
result of developing Alexander's claim
has fairly commenced and a clean up
OF the sluice boxes is made. No, l am

to the new camp without proper prep

Falls Friday en- route to Glasgow and
the new camp. While here Mr.. Cor
don said to John Erickson, an old
friend: al worked with Alexander
last summer for several weeks hunt
ing for the old Kies mine, and | have
no doubt he has at last discovered
the place. My two partners from
Neihart will join me at Glasgow, going
across the country from Neihart on
horseback. My confidence in Alex
ander is unlimited and he is the best
prospector 1 ever knew. A converse
tion / had few days ago with John
Lepley, an old partner of Kies, con-
firms my belief. Mr.. Lepley showed
me map and a letter he received
from Kies in 1864. The map shows
that Kies camp was about 25 miles
south of Fort Peck on a tributary of
the Big Dry. The letter urges Lepley
in the strongest terms to come TO the
new camp but Lepley said: "The In
dians i'm that section were bad at the
time and had good claim at Silver
City paying me about Sig per day.
also had a few thousand in the bank,
so ] refused to 60 to the Kies camp,
although the latter assured me that
we would only have to labor a few
months and then We could take a boat
at Peck and go east with plenty of
money for the rest of our lives"
John Lepley came up from Benton
yesterday and to inquiries by Stand
ard reporter today corroborated the
above story in every particular. He
is not so sanguine that the mine has
been located, but believes implicitly
that Kies discovered rich placer mines
and expresses hope that they have at
last been discovered. On several oc-
casions Mr.. Lepley has grub staked'
men to search for the hidden treasure
but all efforts on the part of his men
proved futile.

WOOL MANUFACTURERS.
They Agree on Gradual Reductions Of Tariff
TO Reach Free Trade.

A Washington special to the News
says that the proposition OF the
wooden manufacturers to the senate
committee on the wool tariff is as fol-
lows: "The Mckinley tariff to remain
untouched till January 1st, 1898;
then a reduction OF ten per cent to
be made, followed annually 10y IA SINH
lar reduction until absolute free trade
conditions are reached. This schedule
has, it is understood, been submitted
to the New England manufacturers by
the Democratic wooden manufacturers
and they have agreed to it, and it is
claimed that virtually all the WOODEN
manufacturers OF the United States
have signed the petition"

"We have received your card.
The points have been carefully con-
sidered and brought to an amicable
settlement It is through my per-
suasion that the parents are ready TO
cast their only son in lot with your
daughter. But, sir, must ask you
to be little more liberal. am a go
between, and concessions and COM
promise must be made in order that
the matter may be brought to a
head You are to bear the following
expenses: First, 800 rupees cash;
second, 1000 rupees ornaments;
third, the whole charge of my edu-
cation up to the B. l.. examination.
Taking into consideration the time
we live in and the society we deal
with, you are not to lose by the bar
gain. Rather we shall be lowered
and our prestige gone. However,
we know not what mysterious at
traction draws me to you If you
meet the above demand, / shall
make everything square for you.
My power is paramount, though l
am obedient and submissive.
Il must call your attention to the
importance of the third demand
made above. The other demands
you will meet at the time Of the
marriage, and there is no danger but
the other demand, which Is submit
ted through my express desire, Is Ii
able to run the risk of breach of
| faith. / will live with you under
the same roof l will be your son,
and you my father, and my whole
prospect depends upon your honesty.
| Ny father withholds from me every
expense of my college career, and
you are intrusted with his honorable
position. None Will respond to the
proposed match but my humble self,
and the whole odium or praise which
is to ensue as the result of the match
shall fall upon my head.
''ThereforeI urge you to think over
the matter, for we are proceeding to
q very solemn problem of life. The
problem must be solved, and it is to
be done through your unlimited be-
nevolence. Tell me, sir, most can
didly, how does your daughter looki
Is she really beautiful girl of 11l
For upon this fact depends the whole
question. If your daughter be not a
fair lady, it would be of no avail.
Everything shall be undone, but
hope you are strong in that point, as
you have often asserted it to be.
Reply sharp, and write on a stamped
envelope, otherwise the letter viii
fall into the hands of my father.
Be up and doing, and write me quick.
For upon the receipt of your letter
we will start and see your daughter
and bring the matter to a close. ~

Funerals In SCOTLAND.

In Scotland the custom still pre-
walls of taking down the window
blinds at the death and hanging
white sheets across the windows.
The custom also prevails in the
north of England, and in many fam
lilies special sheet reserved for the
death chamber is kept for the pur-
pose and often used from generation
to generation.
In many parts of Scotland, too, it
is still customary for the nearest rel
atives of the deceased to lower the
body into the grave and wait by the
side until the grave is filed up
