A littlo funcrnl attended by only a half-dozen-people and including but cmo motrrnor took place not long ago in tho little town of Scaford, in Delaware. No newspaper chronicled it; few pcoplo heard of it or cared for it, though a man noted in peninsular politics was being buried, -a man at ono time tho possessor of a fortune that was counted toy hun dreds' of thousands of dollars, a man famous as tho largest slave-owner in Delaware if not in Maryland. Slaves impoverished him. He died penniless; Ids burial was a charity. William Hof fington Cannon seemed likely at ono timo to win a national reputation; if jilans that were carefully cherished had not miscarried he might have been the governor of his stato or a figure in con gress. Ho was born rich; his relatives were among tho oldest families of tho Virginia-Mar yland-Delawtiro peninsula. He dipped into politics early in life, soon after ho had returnod from a northern college, the only collego graduate, it is said, at that time in his county. His father died, leaving bim the owner of a good many acres of valuable land and thousands of dollars of cash within call. Ho had not married; fox-hunting was chief among his occupations, and ho had established kennels in tho depths of Sussex that woidd bo the-envy of a good many New York sportsmen at tiic pres ent day. Then, of a sudden, tho happy-go-lucky, devil-may-care young man fell in love.' It was not ono of the Delaware belles that had cauglit his eye. Tho last girl of any in the world who would have been selected as suited to his tastes was tho one he courted a meek, mild-eyed young Quakeress of Philadelphia. There was no question as to tho sincer ity of his affection; lie gavo up all his sports, he left his farm, he established himself in her city. That was tho time of tho riso of tho anti-slavery wave that was felt all over tho land so plainly in tho days before tho war. And this de vout young Quakeress, with tho pretti est eyes and manner, tho most fascinat ing in all tho world, was tho daughter of a man who was tho colleague of Gar rison, Phillips, Sam May, and Charles Burleigh. Sho received tho addresses of her Delawaro admirer for some timo with marks of jdcasure. lie and her brother had been classmates at college. His manner was fascinating; ho had a fund of entertaining anecdotes; ho had seen something of the world, and, not unlike many another young man, had "views" that were his own as to tho general shortcomings of all former gen erations. So she smiled as ho discours ed in his entertaining, gossipy, dog matic way, and not a doubt entered tho mind of William Hoflington Cannon over what he considered tho settled fact that his home was suro of a comely mis tress. Ono night Philadelphia's ardent haters of tho slave-power held a littlo mass-meeting in a hall somewhere down near tho old navy-yard, and rufiins broke tho meeting tip. One of tho men on that platform was tho Quaker father of young Mr. Cannon's heroine. 1 hero was blood on his face when ho camo homo. Ho had been slianiofullv abused. Naturally enough the young man from Delawaro expressed much sympathy for tho victim, along with proper indignation over tho outrage ous spirit that had prompted the mob. But ovorwiso in his own conceit, ho was inot satisfied to rest on this. If ho had, perhaps tliero would have been a dif ferent and a very much brighter sequel in .his after life. To expressions of sympathy and indignation ho had to add sorao critical observations of his own on tho subject then beginning to bo uppermost in all men's minds and conversation. Hitherto ho had never louchod on slavery or abolition in his hit-and-miss chats with his fair inamora ta. Now ho published his wisdom with much unction. He essayed to prove to her that ho know it all; that, gifted with keen and penetrating insight, ho grasp tho situation as none of the men figuring in public lifo woro able to grasp it. Ho showed her tho weakness of her father's position; tho foolishness of all anti-slavery agitation, and, with a gusto that was to his mind tho choic est eloquence, ho dilated on the beauties and strength and everlasting blessed ness of Uio southern institution. It was not long before ho discovered his mis take. Tlifi little girl, who had been all meekness before, becamo suddonly ani mated as ho had not dreamed was pos sible unto her placid soul. Ho lived much in tho few minutes that followed. Sho told him sho had loved him; that sho had been ready to bo his wife, but tills night hod been a revelation to her. Sho could have neithor afl'ectiou nor respect for ono who could speak of fellow.men as moro beasts of burden, a man who could applaud as ho ap. plandcd tlto auction block for human beings, a man who could mako merry as ho mauo merry over tearing mother and baby apart to sell one to one mas ter and ono to another. William Hof lington Cannon was dazed; ho went fromlho homo of the girl ho loved with out any hope of ever rcgaining what ho had lost, for ho bad pleaded all in vain for her to listen to a recantation of his opinions. She would give his pleas no heed, she was done with him for good and for all. He went back to Delawaro a changed man; his old-timo spirit was quenched; ho was a cynic. For a time it deemed that ho might rush headlong into dissipation, but in stead of doing so ho straightened him self into an orthodox master of slaves. As if his life were to stand as a mocking to his sweetheart's faith, as if hu were seeking ono earnest taunt to fling at her, ho began to put his money into slaves. Soon lie was the owner of moro men and women than any other landlord in Del aware. Ho sold as he bought, and speculations in llesh and blood added vastly to his wealth. Profits went into slaves, too. His appetite was unquench able. Slaves that ho could not use, slaves that were not readily marketablo at a profit, were hired out; ho never had an army of blacks so big that lie was not ready and even anxious to aug' mcnt it. And tho war came on. Ho did not see what other men saw. Ho was blinded by his passion his lifo of rovengo on tho young girl who had spurned him for his liard-heartcducss, and ho went right on with his invest ments in tho people who had been branded by tho nation's supreme court as without rights that white men should respect. Dupe that lie was, ho was the prey of men whose sentiments were his own. Southern slave-owners' who saw in tho air signs of Lincoln's com ing proclamation "unloaded" their pos sessions upon him. Jay Gould never worked a colder-blooded schemo in Wall street than was worked on Wil liam Holliington Cannon by neighbors, who swapped their men and their wo men for his nionoy. Emacipatio.n camo upon him as a surprise hardly less daz ing than had como that first surprise of his life, when ho had been sent from a Philadelphia maiden's presence in dis grace His hundreds of slaves wero free. Many believed that ho was ruined man. But he had fight in hiin still. With a courage that was almost im pudent ho went to work quietly, and by transactions that included land spec illation ho saw the war end with a fair fortune still his own. -But business tact was practically all that remained of tho vigorous minded man of the past, and even that lasted for the moment only. Queer schemes soon took pos session of liiin. Ho conceived ideas that would have brightened tho souls of British idealists, but which brought tho plain-mannered Delaware folk to look upon him as a crank. Of tho projects innumerable that ho involved, ono was for a park whoso grounds should bo al most limitless, taking in much of the best land of Sussex, wiicro ho and his neighbors should live thenceforth gen tlenien of lordly leisure, with pastimes such as Scott used to accord to tho knighted heroes of his romances. When his neighbors declined to patronize tho scheme, William Iloflinglon Cannon had only the shrug of a shoulder to show his contempt for their narrow now world ideas, and then ho wont to work to build tho park for himself. His own acres ho laid out in pattern fantastic. Ho planted trees profusely all over tho estate, establishing in tho very center, far from tho county high ways, ono hollow square of about tho area of Madison square. Hero, ho ox plained, ho was to erect a manor Louse," and invito to fetes magnificent all.of Uio good fellows of tho world who might cliooso to sharo his philosophy in nutting dull care away. Unfortunately, William Ilofiington Cannon planned and projectod ami planted all in vain; an unfeeling shorifi ono day descended ujion "Cannon Park," and tho auction eer's hammer knocked the incipient paradise into tho clutches of a man narrow-minded .enough to put the broad acres into peach trees and sweet potatoes. Tho poor fellow went quickly from bad to worse. Tho black woman who had nursed him as a baby stood by him, the ono friend that ho found contin ually within call, ready to mako any sacrifice for his sake anil onduro any hardship for his comfort. Sho it was who was tho ono solo mourner at his little funeral. Sho lived in aflluence, practically tho mistress of his mansion m the time when ho had a fortune. At tho end sho took in washing and did mean servility in Seaford's kitchen to provido him with food and sholtor. feo from tho raco ho had despised enough to sacrifice his ono dream of love camo what littlo solaco his last years knew. And the pretty t patriotio Quaker sweeincart, what ot lierr bho died during tho war in a southern hos pital of a fever contracted in nursing iieroas who had fought for liberty in all tho laud. No. ho was novcr married. ; 'ew l'ort Times. FACT AND FANCY. Tho marriage of Miss Marguerite Faust, in St. Louis, is announced. A Connecticut paper enriches the language with "reeentmost." It means tho latos-t. Instead of the phrao "telegraphic address" a classical Englishman has coined the word "Tolenym." Orange-growers discovered during the late frost that sweet oranges endur ed the cold better than the sour ones. Tho supply of natural gas in tho vicinity of Pittsburgh is so great that 204,000,000 cubic feet goes to waste daily. The revenues of the stato of Aguas Calicntcs, Mexico, exceed the expendi tures by 2,000 a mouth, and the state is freo of debt. In Siam, it is said, a wife who re deems her husband after he has sold himself at gambling owns him there after as a chattel. Tho most remarkable product of the temperance agitation of late years is a German anti-lager-beer organ Dcr Dcutsch- A mcrika tier. A new clock is advertised to run for a hundred centuries, when, tho German maker frankly adds, its "mechanic works" will have to be changed. An Atlanta man is dying from the bite of a mule. When a mulo becomes dangerous at both ends it is timo to pro pound tho political conundrum, "With er art wo drifting?" "I've just purchased a diminutive saliva dog?" observed a Boston girl to a friend. "A saliva dog! What sort of a dog is that?" "Why, ono that is a pure extract of Spitz." At a charity fair in Berlin tho crown princess of Germany lias been selling sausages at $.'i5 apiece and sponge cako SI a slice. Any man who will mix spongo cake and sausage ought not to higgle about the prico. A countryman who had been several times married before has brought a new bride to tho parsonage. Clergyman (about to perform the marriage cere mony) Will tho bride and groom please riso? Countryman wo alius sot be fore. A correspondent writes to a contem porary stating that tho credit system is a bad system. It keeps tho creditor constantly on tho alert looking out for tho debtor, and the debtor forever on the jump keeping out of tho way of the creditor. Patient Well, ooctor, what do you find ails me? Doctor 1 can't tell just yet, Mr. Peters. 1 am afraid 1 shall have to diagnose your case moro thor ouchlv before I can tell you. Patient Say, doctor, will it hurt?" Having viewed Mr. Irving's "Faust," London seems to have agreed, as a writ er puts it, that tho play is "a strange travesty red and blue fires, lime-light, hanky panky, and general un-Faustish- ncss, but a tiling to conjuro with." A Pennsylvania man lias invented a mechanical cow-milker which can bo operated by pulling a string. Ho should present an accident insurance policy to every ono who buys tho instrument, as the milker must stand at short range while working tho machine. In gritting his teeth at tho end of an article concerning tho senseless slaugh ter of birds, a writer in Science savs: "A million rail anil reed birds aro kill cd in a singlo mouth near Philadelphia. On Long island tho keeper of a resort for rail-shooters actually supplies his tahlo for weeks with eggs of tho rails that breed about there. And so it goes." "You and tho children had letter go out for a good time to-day," said a thoughtful man to his wife. "I shan't bo homo untill tea time." In tho ovening papa asked the children where they had been all day, and thoy respond ed in mournful chorus, "At the inilli ncr's." Tho people of Long Beach, Los Angeles comity, have found a now means of subsistence during the winter. It is a small species of clam, which is boiled with tho shells on, the liquor from which makes a delicious soup. Tho clam is very small, no larger than a marble, and can be gathered in large quantities. As in th representation of tho opera Martha," tho farm laborers of Dorset, England, continue the custom of at tending tho Candlemas fair for tho pur pose of obtaining employment. This year tho ancient custom had a modern flavor by tho indignant protest of labor reformers, who held an agitation meet ing against "this continued slave fair." "Tho plaintiff says," recited the judge, "that you often deserted her; tiiat you subjected her to shamoful treatment; that oven you often struck hor brutally. You call yourself a man and strike a woman of 25." Tho wife, who is in tho court-room, weeping with her face in her hands, raised it sudden, ly at thih md exclaims: "I beg par don, nrj-.luiir le president; only 2-1 yiars." SOLDIERS' BOUNTY. Instructions of Vnluo to Veterans of tho AVnr of tho Rebellion. The following circular has been issued by the second auditor of the treasury: Tueasuhy Dkpautmknt, Skcond Auditor's Omen, Washington, Feb. 2-1, 1S8G. By carefully examining tho provisions of the different sections of this circular any soldier or his heirs can ascertain the class to which thoy belong, and. if entitled, can collect their dues without tho intervention of an agent. On application tlicrctor blank forms of application will bo furnished by this oflico to the soldier, or his heirs not more remote than brothers and sisters All volunteers who enlisted prior to July 22, 18G1, for throe years, and who wero mustered into tho service before Aug. C, 18G1, are entitled by act of April 22, 1872, to $100 bounty if they havo been honorably discharged and have not received tho samo for such service. If tho soldier died after April 22, 1872, before receiving said bounty his heirs aro entitled viz., widow, children, father, mother, brothers, and sisters, in tho order named.

If a soldier enlisted tinder this act was discharged boforo serving two years, on account of disease, or by reason of promotion, ho would not bo entitled to bounty. If a soldier died in tho service, his heirs became entitled to any bounty which tho soldier would have been en titled to under tho terms of his contract. Tho order of heirship and payment is first, to tho widow; second, to tho children; third, to tiio father, if lie lias not abandoned tho support of his family; fourth, to tho motlior.

If tho father, mother, or moro romote heirs of a deceased soldier wero not residents of tho United States at the date of soldier's death, thoy aro only entitled to such installments of bounty as had accrued and rciuainod un paid at tho timo of his death. By tho act of July A, 18GI, theso rules of descent and heirship aro varied, tho father, brothors and sisters, and tho mother, unless a widow at tho date of the soldier's death, being excluded from tho provisions of said act. Tho timo for films: claims under tho act of July 28, 18GG, known as tho "ad ditional bounty act," expired July 1, IBbU Drafted men enrolled aftor March 3, 18G3, for thrco years, or men who, after March 21, 18G3, enlisted for thrco years as substitutes for drafted men, aro on titled by act of Marcli 3, 1863, to $100 bounty, if thoy served two years or moro, or wero discharged by reason of wounds received m lino of duty boforo two yoars' service. Drafted men or substitutes, entering tho military sor vico for a loss period than thrco years, aro not entitled to bounty under any law. All volunteer recruits who enlisted after Oct. 23, 18G3, and beforo Dec. 21, 18G3, for thrco yoars, in an organization already in tho field, or who enlisted after Dec. 23, 18G3, and beforo April 2, 18G1, for thrco years, wero entitled to $300 bounty, payablo in installments during tho term of service as follows: $G0 in advance, and $10 after eaoli two, six, twelve, eighteen, twenty-four and thirty-six months, respectively. If tho soldier served 'his full term, or was dis charged prior thereto by roason of wounds, or under any of tho general or ders for the reduction of the army be cause of termination of tho war, ho was entitlod to the full amount. If dis charged by reason of disease, or by way of favor, or to accept promotion, l;o was entitled only to tho accruod unpaid installments actually due him at tho timo of his discharge Notk General order No. 77, war department, adjutant general's oflico, April 28, 18G5, was tho first order issued by tho war depart ment discharging men by reason of closo of tho war. Soldiers who wero discharged aftor nine months' consecutlvo sorvlco in tho army prior to April 3, 18G1, wero per mitted to rc-enhst and become veterans, and woro entitled to $100 bounty, pay ablo in installments during tho term of sorvlco, as follows: Advanco, $25 (or $G0 aftor Sept 28, 18G3.) nnd $50 uftor cneh two, six, twelve, eighteen, twenty.our, and thirty months, and tho balance at the expiration of term of service If thoy wero discharged to ro-onllst Into tho same regiment thoy must have previously 6orved two years in order to becomo veterans, and these woro prob tbly paid all bounty duo for first sorvlco. All non-commissioned officers muster ed out after April 28, 18G5, by reason' of being rendered supernumerary on consolidation, aro regarded as mustered out becauso their services wero no longer required, and arc entitled to full boun ty." Volunteers who enlisted after July 17, 18G4, and beforo May 1, 18G5, for one, two, and three years wero under act of duly -1, 186 1, promised $100 for ono years' service, $200 for two years' service, and $300 for thrco years' ser vice, payable in equal installments aa follows: One-third of tho amount on muster-in; one-third at tho expiration of half tho term of service, and the bal ancc at tho expiration of tho full term' of service If tho soldier was discharged "because of wounds received in the line of duty," or by reason of oxpiration of tho term of service, ho thereby bo came entitled to the full amount of bounty; but if ho was discharged "bo cause of services no longer required or by "closo of tho war," ho has no claim for tho balanco of this bounty. Nearly all those enlisting under this act wore paid all duo them at timo of discharge Tho members of tho First corps United States veteran volunteers (Hancock's corps,") were paid $300 in advanco, in addition of tho above bounty. Soldiers who enlisted subsequent to Jan. 1,. 18G5, aro not entitled to this extra' bounty. Colored soldiers and their hoirs.undor act of March 3, 1SG3, faro entitled to tho samo bounty as white soldiers and their heirs. Enlisted mon discharged by reason of wounds received in battle, or in lino of duty, aro entitled, by nets of March 3, 18G3, March !), 18G5, and joint reso lution of March 12, 18GG, to receive tho samo bounty they would havo re ceived if thoy had served thoir full torin of enlistment. The word wound, as used in tho foregoing, is to bo un derstood in tho senso of injury, hurt, damage, as contradistinguished from disease or sickness. Tho bounty does not depend upon tho wound, but upon being discharged by reason of the wound. Tho loss of a soldier's dischargo cer tificate does not prevent tho collection of bounty, provided its loss or destruc tion is accounted for. A duplicate dis charge is not accepted as evidence to establish a claim against tho govern, mont. If a duplicate is desired, appli cation must bo made to tho adjutant general United States army. Bounty is only payablo to tho enlisted man or his heirs. Commissioned offi cers for services as such aro not enti tlod. No law authorizes payment of ' bounty to soldiers for enlistments of loss than two yoars prior to July 18,-186-1. No bounty is paid to volunteers vIicf enlisted after April 30, 18G5. No bounty is paid for enlistments or ro-onlistments in tho voteran rcscrvo corps, but mon transferred thereto frorru other regiments nro entitled to tho bounty thoy would havo rccolved ln their old regiments, when discharged! aftor two years' service, or at tho expi ration of tho full term of service, or by reason of wounds. An honorable dischargo is a condition precedent to the payment of bounty; but when tho discharge papers aro si lent on this point, then the question is ono of fact to bo determined by tho sol dier's military history. Soldiers who enlisted into the regular army between July 1, 1861, and June 25, 1863, wero entitled to $100 bounty,, under the samo conditions as volunteers All mon enlisting into the regulax army for five years within ninety daya from Juno 25, 1863 (tho date of gonoraT order No.-190, A.
