From tho Atlanta (Gal Constitution, Jane 30.
Some months auo a young man and
his wife reached Atlanta from their old
home io Maryland, intending to cast
their lot atnoung our jeople. Not
succeeding in finding employment, the
husband made up his mind to try his
fortune in the Black Hi Is, and so told
his wife. She objected most strenuous v,
with tears and lamentations, and begged
him to desist; but he argued the case so
earnestly to her that she finally yielded
to his plans. After it was settled that
the parting should be had, it was agreed
that the stipulations should lie reduced
to writing. An attorney ot this city
was accordingly visited and. a singular
document drawn tip. Jt was made as
mutual bond between them to keep be
i. .i. . , .. ,.
ioic vhuii niKir resficcMve unties, i lie
terms we synoosis as follows; ? f
"1. He is to bo absent not more than
two years, whether good.' or ill. fortune
betide Lim, unless by unavoidable caus
es. -
2. The wife is to return to lier home
in Maryland and maintain herself from
the proceeds of her own services to her
family and the rents of a piece of prop
erty belonging to her husband.
3. The property ot the husband is
convoyed to her m a separate deed of
gift, and in case of death to revert to
the husband: in event of his death le.
f re his return, to be subject to her dis
posal. 4. Should their separation exceed the
time oi tne statutory laws of the .Mates
where each inav lie Iivinr wherein an
application for divorce on account of
desertion or failure to support to be
ma-ie, neither is to take advantage of
the fact.
5. lie, if successful, is to remit to his
wile all the money over and above his
needs at stated intervals; to keep up as
regular correspondence as the mails will
allow, and return at the earliest possible
time upon the imperative summons of
his wife, she also to go to him under
similar circumstances.
The agreement was signed in triplicate
and diWy witnessed. Each of the par
ties took a copy, and the original rem
ains in the hands of the attorney as its
custodian. On Wednesday, all their
matters leing arranged, the husband
divided their little stock of money,
giving his wife one-half. He also pur
chased a ticket for her to Baltimore,
and she left for her home. The parting
between the couple was of a very dis-tres-sii.g
character. He left on Thursday
for Sioux City, hoping from there to
reach the Black Hills.

not onee thinking ot grasshopper ogus,
and went ont to see a neighbor. Upon
her return, after an houi's alscence, she
found thousands of millions of grass

heat, literally eating her out ot" house
and home. They first attacked the
green shades on the windows, and then a
green dust pan. A green Irish servant
gir', asleep in one of the rooms, was the
next victim, and not a vestige of her
was left. 1 he stove and stove-pipe
were next eaten, and tnen the house was
torn down so that they could get at the

contained was eaten up, and the lat the

number of the great western cities for
the hohor ot being the seat of the next
National Democratic Convention., Chi
cago wants it, Cincinnati wants it, and
St. Louis wants it, and especially Lou

backs up her claim by the vaunt of bet
ter hotel accommodations than her ri
vals, and a!so of being more central and
accessible. Furthermore she "has a hall
capable of seating 20,000 people." Lou
isville is in deal earnest about this mat
ter, and means to corral that Conven
tion. If Chicago or Cincinnati or St.
Louis expect to get it it will be necessa
ry in order to win, to walk right over
the dead body of Louisville.

my face, but if I thought I wasn't good
for any three Injuns on the plains, for
any grizzly that ever stood ou legs, I'd
ax ye to shoot me !"
" You must have seon wild times out
here?"
"Piirty wild pnrty wild," mused
the old man ; "there used to bo heaps
0' reds out here, to say nothing of the
wolves, b'ars and rattesnakes, an' thar
win times when death rose up to shake
hands with me." . '
"Ever taken prisoner ?" '
t "i nought have been I guess I was!"
he said, as he uncovered his head. '
"Why, you've been scalped ft'-.-ri
, "They call it sculping, stranger !"
"And who did that ?" y
"This same blasted Red Cloud He
didn't use the knife, but lie stood by an'
hollered and encouraged the chap who
did do it." m
"Your sensations must liave been ter
rible?" "There wasn't any time to feel any
sensations, stranger. . , They sneaked it
on mo an' Tom as we dozed, an when I
woke up Tom was riddled an my scalp
was hanging to an Injun's belt I"
"And what then V
Nothing much. I got up and-killed
two, wounded another, and legged it up
a canyon aiid got away. If it .was to
do over again, I'd get my topknot back
or fight . the whole Sioux nation till
snmbody went nnder.'
He seemed lost in reflection a mo
ment, and then continued :
"I don't know what skulps are wnth
in the market, but I guess I've got the
full va'ne of mine. I've knocked over
nsin' of thirty Sioux since that iih'ht,
an' I guess I'd be willm' to pass "re
ceipts." .
"P suppose you've had a turn at a
bait dozen different tribes ?"
"Less see," he mused. "Thar's the
Sioux, Blackleet, Pawnees, Arrapahocs,
Shoshonees, Cheyennes, an' three or four
other tribes. They've all hunted me,
an' I've hunted thorn, an' I can't say as
they owe me anything."
"I notice a bad scar on your face."
"Purty good scar for a common man
but I kin show ye the sculp-lock ot the
Pawnee who made it. He jumped on
to me just after I had swum a river. au'
he thought he'd got hold ot a jack-rali-bit.
T was a bad cut, p.u it kind o'
'mazed me at fut, but when I did cum
to, he was gone afore he could yell
twice ! 1 said it was a purty good scar
out it isiri quite ekat to this."
And he pushed up the legging on his
right leg and exhibited a war whleh
made me draw back. The foot, ankle,
ana teg, as high as I could sec, had been
burned bv fire.
"The Blackfeel had me fat to a stake
once, ye obsarve, he explained. "That
was the time when thev noked rarh
other in the ribs an' said" they had a
ueau-sure ining on KJia carter, but they
wuz mistaken. They had me three
days, a-id I'd bin kicked an' cuffed
around until there wasn't any more fun
in it. an' then thev tied me to a kIaI-a
an' lighted a tirp around me. 'Twas
pretty el us, stranger pretty clns."
"Al.d how did you esefloe?"
j 1 -"Halt
a dozen ot my old pards came
a long jiM in time 10 knocu over bait the
baud, and savp me "
There was silence again while he un
buttoned his shirt and showed me a
bosom literally srrid-ironoil with se.irs.
"Well, there may Ikj two or three
Kiuie cuts mar," be explained, "but the
heft o' them scars wuz made by a rriz-
zly. He wasn't one o' these b'ar calves
that some folks kueck over an' then
blow n1out. but a r'!ar tl
old-fashioned grizzly, such as ye don't
find outside o' the darkest canyons in
the Rockies. I wuz bendiu' over the
fire when the varmint slid down a can
yon an' wuz right on hand afore I had
any warniif."
And was it a hard fight?-'
"It wuz a purty fight, stranger, be
cause it wuz a tu'r fight. I had a big
knife, an' he had teeth an' claws.an' we
went in tor kill. He wuz go,d grit,
but a leetle slow. Thar wuz about
thirty days after that little cpysode that
my pard had to nuss me like a child.''
"And you mean to die ont here?"
"That's tor the Lord to sav, but I
'sjwets yer moro'n right. The Injuns is
purty quiet down here, an' these keers
ar. hringiu heaps ' people West, but
I'm goin' up whar a whito man won't
disturb the Lord's work tor a bundled
years to cum ! 1 feel kinder mean and
small down here .is if I wuz huutin'
rabbits ; but up the Ye'lowstone a teder
kin brace up a'ter he's knocked over a
red or two, an' feel as if he wasn't f'oolin
away his young days!"
