HIS TITLE is THE STAKE.

French Count Will Lose His Rank I'M
less He WEEDS Rich Wife.
Count Alphonse De Campau has
come to America to get wife. The
brutal frankness with which he has
announced the object of his visit is
somewhat humiliating to American
pride, but it is not altogether repre-
hensible- Count De Campau is willing
10 marry pretty much any girl who
has fair hair, blue eyes, a graceful iig-
ure and $4,000 year. In exchange
he will bestow upon her his title and
q certain dominion over his family es-
tates at Toulouse. In explanation he
says: IF l do not get $4,000 year
the estates pass away. If the estates
pass away, there is no need of per-
petuating my family. Therefore l have
no need of a wife. If l have a wife
! must keep the estates. 1t will take
at least $4,000 = year to maintain
them. Therefore, if | have wife,
must have $4,000 year; do you seeg'
OF course we see. The whole thing
is as plain as the nose on Count De
Campau's face. We would not see
quite so clearly. perhaps, had not the
same thing been done so often before,
but in the circumstances there is moth
for it but for the American people
e in exactly what estimation their
.oung women are held by any and
every titled foreigner who is willing to
bargain for one of them. Any girl
who has money enough can have a
more or less noble husband for the ask
ing, and there does not seem to be any
SO ignoble foreigner who may not pro-
vide himself with rich American
wife if he is in the matrimonial mar
ket.
See? Why, how could anyone help
seeing, with the landscape from Bos-
ton to San Francisco Uttered up with
modest maidens who are perpetually
hawking their charms, plus a pecuni-
airy bonus. about this and other coun-
tries. We have o,doubt in the world
that Count De Campau will have little
or no trouble in obtaining the wife
ne IS looking for. If he were Turk
instead of a-Frenchman, he might have
score Of them. He has a commodity
to sell that commands its own price
and of which the supply never seems
TO equal the demand. The American
who was ass or vulgarian enough to
| make such an exhibition of himself
might be treated with derision and
contempt by the rich young women of
the country, but Count De Campau
will not be thus despitefully used
Were he without his title, the PROPOSE
ton which he has to make to the fair
barred, blue-eyed, graceful, ffty-nil-
liOn-dOllared young femininity Of
America might seem insulting, but as
| it is not one in thousands Of them
will take it that way. The transaction
! which is proposed is legal. it has the
sanction Of society, and it Is not even
popularity reckoned to be unvirtuous.
Far from it. We have no doubt that
quite a number OF beautiful and
charming young ladies'. through their
duly accredited paternal or maternal
matrimonial agents. will hasten to en-
ter into negotiations with Count De
Campau. In fact, we would not be
surprised to see quite bargain day
rush to marry him il he should con-
sent to mark himself down to SAC, 999
on Mondays and Fridays.-Charleston

The Army Yell.

Private G. A. Brasher, of Clofton,
Ky- who served in Company c, Sew
enteenth Kentucky Infantry, contrib
utes the following to the American
Tribune:
1t is hardly necessary to explain,
and could not do it II 1 wanted to,
how the simple matter of yelling or
hallooing grew to be Of such gigantic
proportions, and with what wonderful
rapidity these simple things spread.
Start rabbit, and one yell meant a
yell from every one In the regiment,
and that meant brigade yell, and SO
on until the whole army rapidly took
up the contagion. Soldiers never
stopped to inquire what it meant; they
didn't care; they heard the yell far
away, faint at first gradually swell
ing toward them, until, like a huge
wave. terrible cyclone. it swept past
10 tide away in the far-away TANKS
Of the army.
During the spring Of 1864, when we
were returning from the Knoxville
campaign to our position near Chatta-
nooga, an old friend Of mine of the
Eighty-sixth Indiana passed me, and
1 merely remarked, "How are you,
TomT That was followed by How
are you, TomT from the balance Of
the company. then the regiment. The
brigade and division took it up. and
probably before that How are you.
TomY died away two-thirds Of Thorn
ass old Third Division had paid that
courtesy to Tom.
But the grandest and most enthusi-
astic yelling / ever heard was when
the army lay around atlanta after its
capture. Away toward Atlanta we
heard the yell coming. closer and loud

and it becomes plain after little look
ing that tc rank as stylish the arrange
ments should have some air Of novelty.
Extraordinary means are taken at times
to accomplish this, the pleats looking
as if introduced more for look of oddity
than for any other purpose. You'll see
little tucks taken horizontally in the yoke
section of skirts, where the eye is ac-
customed to see them taken in the oppo-
site way, and where they would not seem
at all admissible were it not that ,us-

"Like T'other Regiment"


When the first Western soldiers pen
etrated into the billy section of East
ern Tennessee they were not q little
disappointed, for the East Tennessee
unionist had been glorified in the
Northwest until he seemed in fancy
like superior being.
The boys pronounced the region
east of Knoxville a 'land of rocks, fist
fights and ignorance" but their amaze
ment reached its height when the first
Union troops from the North Carolina
side met them. These troops had made
up lot of doggerel poetry with which
they answered questions, but as they
were more hungry than poetic when
they reached the main body, they usu-
ally cut of their answers to any ques-
ton as to their command in some such
fashion as this:
Second North C'liny regiment,
A-fightin' fer the Govament--"
"S-a-y-got any terbackerY
If it wasn't tobacco. 1t was generally
coffee they wanted. AS to solid pro-
vision, they could live two or thres
days on cold corn pone. or even
few ears of corn, splendid qualities for
soldiers at that time and place Theis
colonel endeavored to instruct his men
by having them follow the motions Of
Che Northern regiments, and one Of his
frs orders, when the model regiment
grounded arms" ran thus:
Second Moth C'liny regimentl Put
yer guns on the graownd, like t'ot1z~
regiment does"
They were brave fellows. all the
same. and when drilled made splendid
soldiers.-Memphis Avalanche.

Brave Girls of Civil War.

AS shown by military records, many
brave girls of the early COS aspired to
more venturesome work in war than
that of nursing sick and wounded sol
diers.
Mrs. L. H. Seelye, who recently died
at Laporte, Tex, had a remarkable ca
reer as a private soldier in the ranks
during the civil war. In fact, in the
threefold capacity of common soldier,
field nurse and spy she proved herself
over and over again lone of the best
and bravest men in the regiment"
She enlisted as Frank Thompson" In
the battles of Bull Run, Williamsburg.
Fair Oaks, the seven days before
Richmond, Antietam and Fredericks
burg, she frequently fought all day
and nursed the wounded at night,
with a strength and devotion almost
superhuman. While in the secret
service she penetrated the enemy's
lines no less than a dozen times In
various DISCUSSES, always with COM
plete success, though more than once
she escaped only ''by the skin Of her
teeth"
One Of the few women officers Of the
civil war was commissioned by Rich
| ard Yates when he was Governor Of
Illinois. The document may still be
seen in the state house at Springfield.
1t is dated April 16, 1862, and says
that Mrs. Belle Reynolds was appoint
ed ito the honorary position of daugh-
| ter of the regiment for meritorious con-
duct in camp and in the field OF Pitts
burg Landing, with the rank Of
major" In two places in the Official
Record of the Army Of Illinois Gen.
| Sherman mentions Maj. Reynolds in
| complimentary way. When she
went to war in her husbands regi-
ment. the Seventeenth Illinois In
| fantry, she was 10, tall, handsome and
vivacious. At last accounts she was
still living in Santa Barbara, Cal. Her
war experiences would make an inter-
esting book.
Physical examinations during the
civil war did not amount 20 much
more than the recruiting officers eye
measurement Of the applicants inches,
hence the wonder is not great that
many women actually soldiered as
uniformed men in the 'late unpleas-
antness" The records gave accounts
of many who entered in order that
they might follow their sweethearts.
| 1t was not at all unusual that a girl
masquerading in soldier clothes would
become a member of the same regi-
ment with her lover, and while he
would know nothing of her action, she
would see him every day, in some
cases be assigned to the same mess
tent with him, and even nurse him
when he was sick without revealing
her identity.

sured Of the stylishness of your choice
This difference should be noted: Capes
are coming in, and 1T is likely by the time
woman must wear such protective gar
ments that your simple cape will pass
muster as surely as will coat Of more
ornate design. Yet the designs as now
disclosed include deal much like the
styles of last winter, though with diff
ferences in finish. The artist shows to-
day a wrap of biscuit cloth appliQued
with silk of the same shade. Looking
about will disclose many wraps of equal
ly simple color scheme, but many Of them
will be ornamented very richly and ex-
pensively, nevertheless. Capes seem sure
to make much Roadway in evening attire,
being susceptible of much variety of
treatment, practically all of which was
not much repeated last winter.
