Grants Gratitude.

While Grant was president he visited
st. Louis, and Mr.. Garrison, president
of railroad, took him out for a drive.
On the way they met a shabby old man
in his shirt-sleeves. Grant recognized
the old man, and stopped the buggy.
He got out, extended his hand, and
said: Hello, Uncle Benl How are
you and your wife getting along2" The
old man greeted the president, and said
that they were getting along very well;
they were happy if they had enough to
eat, and if he could get a little tobacco
for his pipe. "Uncle Ben, wouldn't
you like to be postmaster of Meremec
township" asked the president. I'm
Gle Ben said he would not object, and
Grant shook him by the hand and said,
"God bless you and your wife, Uncle
Ben. l think of you often" When
Grant got back to the buggy he was
much moved, and said to Mr.. Garrison:
i" Poor old Uncle Benl He has big
heart. / remember when l and my
wife, living in that house over there,
did not have any more to eat than we
needed, and Uncle Ben would come
around to the house at night and leave
basket of provisions on the doorstep.
He was afraid to come and give them
to us, thinking that he might possibly
hurt our feelings. God bless his men,
oryV" The president did not forget his
promise. Uncle Ben was soon made
postmaster.

The Ballad of Chickamauga.

BY Chickamauga's crooked stream the martial
The North and South stood face to face with wars
dread work to do
honstrong, unselhsh, brave twin athletes battle.
wise,
Brothers, yet enemies, the fire of conflict in their
eyes,
All banner-led and bugle-stirred they set them to
the fight,
Hearing the god of slaughter laugh from mountain
height to height.
The rudy fdr-haired giant North breathed loud
and strove amain;
The swarthy shoulders of the South did heave them
to the strain;
An earthquake shuddered underfoot, cloud rolled
overhead,
And serpent tongues of flame cut through and
Tapped and twinked red.
Where back and forth bullet stream went singing
like breeze,
What time the snarling c,nnon balls to splinters
tore the trees.
" Make way, make way" voice doomed out, ppm
marching to the seal"
The answer was the rebel yell and Bragg's artillery
Where Negley struck, the cohorts gray like storm
tossed clouds were rent;
Where Buckner charged, a cyclone fell, the blue to
tatters WENT
The noble lrannan cheered his men, Pat Cleburne
answered back,
And Lytle stormed, and life was naught in Walt
halls bloody track.
Old Tayor's Ridge rocked to its base, and Pigeon
Mountain shook;
And Helm went down. and Lytle died, and broken
was McCook.
Van Cleve moved like hurricane, tempest blew
with Hood,
Awful the sweep of Breckenridge across the flaming
wood.

bottomed ferry boat, loaded with fifty
labofers, was crossing the old river channel
1t was capszed, all the men were thrown
into the channel and fifteen or twenty were
drowned The boat was very much over
crowded. The men were all members of a
gang OF ore-handlers and were going TO their
homes The life-saving crew was sum-
moned and within a short time seven of the
uniortunates were brought TO shore and
taken to the morgue for Identification
Those who escaped scattered in every di-
rection, and 1t is uncertain just how many
lives were lost, but twenty men are re.
ported missing. and the dragging OF the
channel is still in progress.
WHEN we consider that the intestines
are about five times as long as the

experienced when they become inf1amed.

We desire to call the attention
of our Populist friends to the fact,
that as their party did not nomi-
nate any candidates for the office of
district judges, they will have to
make an X opposite the names of
two of the candidates for those
offices. Marking opposite the
"cottage," would not be voting for

an X in the square by the cottage

solicitation of the Democratic Con-

where he win labor in the campaign

act Of unselfsh generosity, which
veil displays the patriotism and
earnestness Of Mr.. Kings conyic-
tons.
In this matter he is like q volun-
teer IN time of war; he goes to the
front where fighters are needed.
He may be sacrificing his chances
Of success in Utah, but We don't
think he will. When the voters &c

this gallant champion was away IN

principle he honestly believes in
while his opponent was a stay-at,

mire bravery, and for a candidate
for Congress to leave his own dis.

the people in Illinois, Indiana

patriotism which will endesr him Il

THE TWENTY-FoURTH
REGIMENT.

All the companies belonging to
the Twenty-fourth Regiment az
rived this week, and all of them are
an intelligent looking body of men,
and they presented very credItable
appearance while marching through
the streets of our fair city. We
followed the soldiers to Fort Doug
las, and upon arriving there, had
the pleasure of meeting Chaplain
Allen AIlensworth, who is a very
highly educated gentleman. He
was born in Louisville, KY, about
ifty-fve years ago, and was ap-
pointed to the present position by
President Cleveland, April LIST,
1886, and he has the distinction OF
being the only member of our race
in the United States that is serving
In that capacity.
Chaplain Allensworth is a mar
ried man. His family consists of q
wife and two beautiful and accom-
plished daughters. We were In
formed BY the Captain to the effect
that during the ten years that he
Was stationed at Fort Bayard, N.
NJ, that not one white lady or gen.
tleman ever complained or claimed
that they had been insulted by the
colored soldiers in any manner,
shape or form. although he does not
claim or maintain that they art
angels or saints; but he believes
that the great majority of them viii
act like gentlemen, and as such they
VIII not insult q true lady.
ABOUT fifty of the men are mar
ned and have their families with
them, and . large number of them
belong to the church, and assist him
IN his Sunday school work.
Rev. Allensworth desires to In
form the good people of our beauti-
fui city that he would be more than
pleased If all the saloons, gambling
houses and immoral houses would
absolutely refuse to entertain the
negro soldiers, for he believes that
there are . thousand white men
who are wiling to 60 to b IN with
the black man, but there are a very
few Who care 70 60 70 heaven with
him. He also hopes that the po-
Ice win arrest every bra,en-faced
woman, be she black or white, who
attempts to travel on thessreet cars
to and from the fort.

great many members Of the Twenty

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Feb. 2s.-
An enraged father. missing bride and a
disconnected husband are the principals in
a local romance that threatens to end in
tragedy. The spiriting away of bride of
few days from the husbands home by
the parents OF the young woman is the
cause of the trouble. The old folks al
lege that their daughter was hypnotized
when the wedding occurred, which fact
renders the proceeding null.
On Wednesday last Miss Leila McGarr
of San Bernardino was married to George
Banford of Highland by Justice OF the
Peace soule Of this city. The honeymoon
had hardly set in when there came a
change over the domestic relations of Mr..
and Mrs. Banford and the McGarrs. The
young couple had hardly become settled
in their little home at Highland when in
marched the brides father.
Banford was absent ana the bride, listen.
ing TO her fathers words, either consented
or was forced to desert her own home and
go to that OF her parents. Since then hel
husband has not seen her, although he
has searched diligently to locate her.
The husband declares he will have his
wife or blood will flow The father claim.
his daughter was hypnotized and knows
nathing OF her marriage to Banford anC
says she will not live with him. Mrs. Ban,
| ford is beautiful young woman, 1S years
OF age, and has borne an excellent reputa,
| ton. Her father is an old mountaineel
and trouble will follow If Banford attempts
! to abduct his wife.
