AS'A'D YllSTORY.
Tim Tltinil Datith. of n Man "Who "VVns
Onco tho Largest Slnvo-Owncr
"In Jjelivwnrc.
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

18G3, for thrco years, or men who, after
March 21, 18G3, enlisted for thrco years

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

of being rendered supernumerary on

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'

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

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,,
