HIS LAST MARRIAGE FEB.
A LOVK STOIIY.
George Alfred Townsend , in the
Baltimore Homo Journal : Some years
go , when marriage licenses had
to bo paid for , the Marylandcrs and
Virginians rode across the narrow
frontier in the valley and were
pnarrlod for nothing in Pennsylvania.
Of course , tlioy gave something to the
| > roachcr for his trouble. The conso-
flcneo was that all the preachers on the
Maryland side of the line became as
lean as geese , and the preachers across
iho line in Pennsylvania grew as fat as
turkey gobblers. But there was on
preacher near Wayncsboro' who did not
grow fat. Garrick How ton , who did the
largest business , becamu leaner and
tenner the faster ho married people.
Ho was too moan , the people said , to en
joy lifo like a good Methodist itinerant
Or a rubicund priest. No chicken coops
vero agitated at his approach. No
little pigs squealed and got under their
anxious mammas when Garrick leaned
pvor the sty and surveyed them.
Nobody knew just what sect or church
Garrick belonged to there where overy-
Jxidy was his own theologian.
Ho called his church The Zionskitos
fend was the only one of it the bishop
Indeed except his son , NYeasloy How-
Ion , whom ho called "tho deacon. "
The cnurch building did not exist ,
though branches of The Zionskite body
wrcro said to bo "furdor west' by both
the bishop and the deacon.
Inquisitive people hinted that there
fievor would have been us many as two
J&ionskitos except for the fat marriage
fees which wore * to be had along Mason
nhd Uixou's line ; and that Bishop Gar
rick Howton only ordained his son
Voasloy into the priesthood reluctantly
that ho might occasionally take some
recreation liimself and not miss any
runaway couples which should arrive
totweon midnight and morning.
All people far or near understood that
the Howtons would marry anybody , the
flellvory of the certificate being conditional
*
tional on the payment ot th'o ice ; and
pains were taken to impress strangers
[ hat in The Zionskitcs dUcipline the
certificate was a part of the ceremony
itself.
A etory was started and grow that old
flowton married children for the sakn
Of his fees.
" " This story came up from sorrowing
ftnd and broken-hearted parents in
Virginia and from the rich manors and
tamlotsol Frederick in Maryland. The
Pennsylvanians never verified these re
ports because it was none of their busi-
(1039.
(1039.That was the golden ago. when the
people of ovcry state did to the people
( every other state just what they
pleased , and the boundary line made
VUtrage justice or simplicity criminal.
Nobody crossed the line tocall Dishop
Howton to account. All liconbcd cler
gymen could marry ; the bishop had a
license signed by the deacon , his son ,
and the son had a license signed by the
bishop of "ThoZionbkite Purified Order ,
Garrick Howton , First Tomplcfungus , "
If any preaoher of a largo church
dared to inquire into the subject ho was
told that there had been a , "laying on
of hands , " and this sent him to the
right-about , to be followed by the cruel
insinuation that his solo motive in ques
tioning "liberty of conscience" had
been envy and covotoubness of Bishop
Howton's marriage fees.
Still that idea of marrying children
to designing men had a bad sound. It
gave a suportitious name to Bishop
Howton's "parsonage. " The runaway
slaves from the old slave states knew
and avoided that house , for they remem
bered how little Mis * This or That hud
been spirited away by a reckless cousin
or 'a designing overseer and made a
wife in her early teens by "dat bad ole
Bishop Ilowton. "
"If wo could only get at him ! " was
muttered by many a proud , awed ,
humiliated homestead along the Shenandoah -
nandoah or the Monocacy.
But they could not got at him for
the sumo reason that ho could not got
at them nor interfere with their privil
eges and abuses. Wo had no common
country ; wo were inviolable states
secure in our own venerable violations.
As time advanced Bishop Howton be
came a widower , and his mind was seton
on marrying again.
It may have been the example of mar
rying children under age , torn from
their parents by their own disobedient
impulses or the powerful sinister inllu-
oncoofmanor it may have been the
childi&h beauty of Eunice Ilowton , his
distant relative , which doomed her to
become the bishop's wife when she
should bo old enough to receive his
orders and not bring the laws of Penn
sylvania down upon his head. The
bibhop bided his time.
Kunico was hardly fifteen , a Blonder ,
groy-oycd blonde , whose foot , touch the
ground as they would , turned into lines
of grace , and music boomed to bo play
ing as s-ho walked or moved , to such
harmonies did she bend ; while in the
action of her head upon her delicate
neck nnil even in the motion of her lips
there appeared to bo violin music
whibtled by her spirit as the upland
zephyrs played upon it and her heart
dcnircd to dancu.
The country people said that this was
because her mother had boon uu actress
and a dancer.
Somewhere back in the undibcorned
past and vagueness of a larger world it
was said that Bishop Howton had been
a show manager and that his orphan
cousin had married a French dancer
who was in his strolling company.
Tliib cousin had boon loft to Garrick ,
who had kept him down and nearly
starved him , repressing his spirits by
an nvarico und superstition which lay
across each other , and finally retired
Garriok from the show but , ! ness a com
plete failure , while his ward , set free
by matrimony , made a nice little for
tune keeping a dancing academy with
hi ? wlfo.
When the parents died , something of
the husband's inherited tenets caused
him to repent , though ho had never
done anything bad , und in the weak
ness of dying no gave his child to his
relative to bo her trustee and the
trustee of a respectable little fortune.
The poor dancing tiachor thought the
word ' bishop" covered a regenerate
heart.
The bishop was merely a capitalist in
marriage feus.
Tills Is considered reasonable humil
ity.
ity.Somo of the schoolboys called him
Old Yoke-li-noki , becnused ho jokcd ; so
many couples.
What education ho had picked up
avarice and illiterate associations had
chased out of his Head ; like an old
country Dutchman , ho could spell joiats
for his barn Joyce und talk about the
broec'hman on his horse when he meant
breeching.
As time advanced Garrick grow deep
ly in love with Eunice , and forgot to
give spiritual restraint to his son.
"At seventeen sharp , " old Garrick
Ilowton often repeated to himself , look
ing at Eunice with threefold passions of
love avarice and superstition.
Often when an old man falls in love it
seems to him like holiness , when it is
only foolishness.
In that way Garrick threw himself
back into his natural state before ho
became an rvnricloua scoundiel , or a
self-frightened hypocrite. He got to
believing in the religion he practiced
upon. Ho feared night solltudo and
ghosts. Ho believed that his monstrous
passion was a sacrifice on his part for
the sake of securing Eunice's soul.
"I should bo the devil's prize without
her , " mused Garrick Ilowton. "Tho
children I have tied in wedlocks1 of
despair , the unformed souls I have
ir-anacl'd to selfish liends , the head
strong schoolgirls I have made the
losral slaves of hideous skinflints , and
who have in a few months awakened to
everlasting repentance and horror ,
would troop into my lovely home
amongst these mountains and drive mo
crazy with their curses. I should go
mad' ! Hut Eunice , Eunice , who will
guard my door and warm my heart and
bring other angels like her from heaven
to my relief and comfort. "
It was plain that the hypocritical old
bishop was becoming slightly hysteri
cal.
\Voasloy Ilowton had been notified by
his father that ho must go went and
establish his own congregation of the
peculiar Xlonskites.
He was sent to the garret to study
discipline and thoroughly contemplate
the Scriptures.
Ono day Eunice stole up into the gar
ret , while the bishop was marrying a
one-eyed man of sixty to a mountain
maid of eighteen , and she met a differ
ent scene there from the penance and
prayer she had expected.
Weaslcy was rigged out in a suit of
theatrical clothes taken from Eunice's
parents' trunks , and was executing a
wild and fantastic jig.
Tltu bishop had told Kunico that in
the said trunks was the devil's ward
robe. The young people locked the
door and examined thu wardrobe thor
oughly.
What places are garrets for rain and
love ! How it drops upon the roof ! How
It goes pit-a-put in the hearty How the
Heart is raining suddenly through the
eves anu the roof is beating with the
palpitations of the wind !
Old men seldom go to garrets. Bad
old men like Garrick Howton never do.
Next week Woasley Howton was to
start for Indiana , and bo an apostle on
the Wnbash.
His trunk was packed and his ticket
for thottago was to bo paid for over the
( Treat national road from Hagcrstown to
the far west.
"Filty dollars fare ! " exclaimed the
bishop , as ho walked his upper porch ;
"what a sum of money ! But the next
week it shall be maile. up out of Eunice's
fortune , which will then bo mine , with
her fadeless beauty , till death do us
part. The raseall"
As ho looked there came a cloud of
dust up the Leltersburg rood from the
south , where somebody was driving
hard somebody in a desperate hurry.
"It looks Ilka a runaway couple , " ex
claimed Garrick Ilowton , reaching for
his eyeglasses. But the shade of the
North mountains , whore this sun was go
ing down , put a bolt of blackness uptm
the landscape , like the -moon's total
eclipse. When the sound of the wheeK
came to the door Garriek heard a knock
ho descended and found a strange man
in the parlor , which had no lights.
"Sure. " the stranger said , "I have 70
honair to say /at I am in love. But /.o
lady is too leetle ; she has not 7.0 grand
age. It will bo all /e same ; because she
loves mo and her fathair liavo so much
shame ho never will say nothing. I
give you fifty dollairo to make mo her
husband at once , saro ! "
"Fifty dollars1 ! the bishop's avari
cious heart responded. "It is Weas-
ley's whole faro. The good demon
must have sent this man here. "
Then the business piety returningthc
bishop spoke aloud and most uuctous-
ly :
"What are the names of the parties ?
Marriage , my brother , the Apostle snys ,
is honorablo'in all Hebrews xiii. 4. I
see not that it may not bo honorable in
theo. "
"Xo names are on certificates we have
filled. Xe fee I pay you is extraordi
naire , monsieur. For 7.0 fifty dollairo
wo make two demands : Au premiere ,
7.at you marry 7.0 bride veiled ! Au second
end , /at you sign two certificates for us ,
to protect 7.0 lady and moi memo. "
"The ago of the bridoV asked Gar
rick Howton.
"What mattair zat ? You have made
7.0 wife at fourteen , many a time. My
bride is sixteensaire. Come , /o money !
Here is 7.0 money. "
Ho felt the bankbill in his hand and
it dried up his compunctions of heart :
ho felt a quill put in his lingers and the
stranger , with something like a fusee ,
made a flume that contained brimstone
and seemed yellow and nlue.
"Eternally bo mine , as xis pnpior you
sign , " the strange man exclaimed "I
mean 7.0 lady child , 7.0 lady , parblou. "
The voice had a deep sepulchral tone
in it , and by the foreboding flame. Gur-
riolc saw a person whoso forehead was
all in patches , with French mustaches
under his no-o and blackened eyebrows
drawn nearly through the temples to
the edge of a colorless , inky wig.
"You must give mo some name , "
spoke the bishop , ns ho signed , "al
though I cannot read by such a light. "
"I am zo Marquis BoUsuulb. "
"Bring in the lady ! "
Low laughter scorned to he circling
around the apartment as _ the uniting
words were said by tile bishop's falter
ing and frightened tpngue.
Loud laughter bvoko from the car
riage windows as the scoundrel drove
away. <
"Hero , Woasloy , Eunice ! Lights !
Lights ! " exclaimed ! old Garriek Ilow
ton. "I have got my" last marriage
foe. " ;
No voice replied ; the'clark mountains
through the windqws. showed bridal
wreaths of.tars upon their forbidding
brows , tike the awful presence of the
marquis who hud but now departed with
childhood's purity } nHhis false black
eyes and wig.
The bishop took the fire and lighted
a candle. Ho saw a paper lying upon
the flook with his signature to it. He
read with horror that ho acknowledged
the sale of his fcoul to Bool7.ebub for a
thousand years.
"Ha ! I'm ! " ho cried , "Satan has
dropped the contract ho entrapped mete
to sign. To the fire to the lire with
it ! "
A voice seemed to sound from the
garret on the wailing of the wind.
"You signed to such certificates. You
have married Eunice to thu devil. "
"Father , " cried Wenaloy Ilowton
next morning , "Eunice la not to be
found. Will you forgive her if she has
tarried if she baa married me ? "
Bishop How ton'Uy on the floor-dead.
RAILROAD CONQUESTS.
New Tillies That Penetrate Stranse
Commercial Advertiser : In the latest
published number of the monthly con
sular reports that issued for .Tune of
this your several referonc'cs are made
to railroad extension in the remoter re
gions of the world , from which we can
see that the iron-shod missionary of civ-
ili/.ation is energetically at work. Con
sul JeweU at Sivas. Turkey , sends to the
department a translation of the regula
tions governing the first section of a
proposed trunk line between Con.stnnti-
noplo and Angora , a distance of 801) )
miles , through the heart of Asia Minor.
In addition to this line , which will have
an important office in "opening up" the
Ottoman territory work is now advanc
ing on the road from Joppa to Jerusa
lem , an undertaking which must give a
great impetus to travel in the holy
land , as the difficulties and inconveni
ences of the pilgrimage from the coast
to the city of David have long boon a
serious obstacle in the eyes of most tour
ists.
ists.Another
Another strange land , though one
not very distant from the beaten track ,
will soon bo rendered easier of study by
means of railroad facilities. This i- > the
island of Corsica.
In the north Russia is steadily push
ing her military and political railroad
system. On the 27th of May , according
to a dispatch from Minister Lothrop ,
"the Trans-Caspian railway was opened
at Sumarcand with great ceremony.
This , writes Mr. Lothrop , was "an
event of no common importance to Rus
sia , and oven to the world. "
The road is 1,830 versta in length
( about ! HN ) miles ) and is primarily a mil
itary road. It has boon built and is
controlled and operated by the ministry
of war. At present it is little more than
a skeleton road. It is deficient in sta
tions and rolling stock. But the great
fact is accomplished. It opens the door
into the great field of central Asia. All
things requisite to its efficiency will in
time bo added to It. Though a mili
tary road , its political , economical and
commercial uses and results will not be
inconsiderable. It brings Russia nearer
to its coveted cotton fields , from
which so much is hoped. It has already
set in ai'tive motion measures for the
restoration of the old magnificent sys
tem ot irrigation , which has fallen into
dilapidation and disease. It must not
bo supposed that the Trans-Caspian
railway is likely to rest at Samarcand.
Beyond lie Tiisehkent , Forghans and
Somirolch , which the Ruisian journals
describe as the richest provinces in cen
tral Asia , abounding in water , inviting
colonization and culture. As these lie
in the direct path of the interest and
the ambition of Russia the early exten
sion of the railway may be confidently
anticipated.
At the same time the project of the
construction of the great continental
railway across Siberia to the Pacific is
agitated with increased intent. It is
said that explorations of the line will bo
begun this year. It seems hardly prob
able that the available resources of the
empire will permit the rapid prosecu
tion of this gigantic undertaking , but
it is a work which is necessary to the
security and welfare of the Pacific pos
sessions ot Russia. Its construction ,
therefore , is only a question of time.
On the Pacific coasts of Asia railroad
enterprise is showing remarkable ao-
tlvity. Japan Is taking the lead among
her neighbors in this , as in all ' 'modern
improvements , " but even phlegmatic
China is showing a new desire for rail
road innovations , and the indolent and
uncommercial Spaniards in the Philip
pine Islands are also bestirring thom-
solrea in the matter. Of thu situation
in Japan Consul Birch , of Nagasaki ,
writes that a proposed line across the
Kiusiu , the southernmost of the four
principal islands of the empire , has met
with unexpected popular favor , ami will
soon bo constructed. Its course
lies through the Satsuma country , and
that it meets with favor there indicates
the disappearance of that hostility to
foreign nations which has marked pub-
feeling in this portion of the empire ,
lie. The new road is to bo 270 miles in
length , and is expected to cost about
$10,000,001) ) . When completed it will
bo an important adjunct to the system
that is [ rapidly covering the main is
land.
The China Railroad company , accord
ing to Minister Donby , hail in May
completed much of its line from the
Hai-Ping mines to the Poiho river and
Tien-Tain , and it was thought that by
July or August the work would bo fin
ished. In that case a railroad of con
siderable length and value is in active
operation in I'liina , whore the intro
duction of railroads has boon so stub
bornly fought , and we may look to sec ,
now that the ground bus boon broken ,
other roads soon in course of construc
tion. The system projected for the
Plnllipino Kles , Consul Webb reports
from Manilla , is on a small scale , but
may load to more important projects.
We have only space to mention the
more Important railroad enterprises of
tropical America lately put in working
order , the Guatemala Central , which
Consul General Ilosmer reports has be
come , after much serious tribulation ,
the greatest commercial interest in
Central America , lie writes.
The Guatemala Central railroad runs
from the port of San Jose on the Pa
cific coast , latitude 115 dog. 55 min. 19
sec. north , longitude 0 ! ) dog. 40 min. 76
sec. west , in a general north by east
direction to the capital city of Guate
mala. The length of the main line is
71.fi miles. The road is thoroughly built
and equipped , well ballasted with gravel
and broken rock , and runs as smoothly
us the best of our own railroads or those
of any other country in the world. The
scenery along the line is grand and
picturesque ; enpecially on the ascend
ing grade between Eocuintla and this
city ( Guatemala ) the varied views which
comprehend the perfection of landscape
scenery meet the eye in a succession of
iiannramio changes that are indescriba
bly delightful. The towering volcanoes
of Aqua and Fuego loom forth , their
clear-cut outlines piercing the cloud
less sky , witli an undulating wave of
foot-hills rolling up to their base , while
at one point on the road the train skirts
Luke Amatitlan , some five miles in
length and about two in width , from
whoso surface here and there hot
springs are continually bubbling and
breathing forth steam , a reminder that
it is the howl of an old volcanic crater
with hidden fires now slumbering be
neath its placid bosom.
Thus we may see from this hurried
survey that the Iron horsi is spurred
around by his indefatigable driver
through jungles and over mountains to
the uttermost corners of the globe. And
wherever he goes barbarism sinks
crushed beneath its heels.
Walt Whitman' * Hospital Kxporloncr. .
Walt Whitman contributes to the Oc
tober Century some verbatim extracts
from letters homo during the war from
which wo quote as follows : "After first
Fredericksburg I foil discouraged my
self , and doubled whether our rulers
could carry on the war. But that has
passed away. Tfto war must bo carried
on. I would willingly go in the ranks
myself if I thought it would profit more
than as at present , and I don't know
sometimes but I shall , as it is. Then
there is certainly a strange , deepfervid
feeling formed or aroused in the land ,
hard to describe or name ; it U not a
majority feeling , but it will make itself
felt. M. , you don't know whnta nature
fellow gets , not only after be
ing a soldier a while , but
after living in the sights and
influences of the camps , the wounded ,
etc , a nature he never experienced
deforo. The stars and stripes , the tunu
of "Yankee Doodle"and similurthlng *
produce such an impression on a follow
as never before. I have seen thorn
bring tears on some men's ehooks , and
others turn pale with emotion. I have
a little flag ( it belonged to ono of our
cavalry regiments ) , presented to mo by
one of the wounded ; it was taken by
the socesh in a fight and rescued by our
men in a bloody skirmish following. It
cost three men's lives to get buck that
four-by-three Hug to tear it from the
breast of a dead rebel for the name ol
getting their little 'rag' back again.
The man that secured it was very badly
wounded , and they let him keep it. I
was with him a good deal ; he wanted to
give mo some keepsake , he said lie
didn't expect to live so ho gave mo
that flag. The best of it all is , dear M. ,
there isn't u regiment , cavalry or in
fantry , that wouldn't do the like , on the
like occasion. "
