Husband and Wife Keunited^Arter
Thirty-fire Years.
A special dispatch to the Dallas
News from Denison, Tex., tells a re
markably romantic story of the reunion
of a St. Louis couple at San Antonio
in the Lone Star State Christmas Day,
after a separation of 35 years, during
which each supposed the other dead.
The couple arc Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Slaiden. They left Denison on the
day of the happy reunion for this city
over the "Katy Flyer" and are now
supposed to be sojourning somewhere
in the Future Great, although diligent
search for them by Republic reporters
failed to locate them.
Nowhere between the covers of a
book of fiction can there be found a
story so touchingly romantic as the
life history of this now aged pair. It
embodies in all of its details the
essentials of a perfect novel such as
few iE any of the modern writers of
fiction have equaled either in its con
ception or its working out.
Mr. Slaiden is now 55, a tall, hand
some man of magnificent physique,
with a swarthy complexion that is
thrown into striking contrast with his
snow white hair. He has the mien of
a prosperous business man, but suffer
ing and suspense have written their
sign manual about the mouth and
softened the steel gray eyes that
would otherwise have been penetrating
in their glance.
The woman whom capricious fortune
has restored to his protecting aims is
not less strikingly handsome than the
husband whose name tliey bear in
common. Sorrow hai; brought the
marks of premature old age in the
predominance of the silver threads
that intermingle with the gold, but
the fair cheek has not been robbed of
its natural beau!y and her beautiful
blue eyes arc bright as they were
when she as a bride bade a loving
farewell to him who was nearest and
dearest in all the work' to her 35 long
years ago.
When the Confederates fired the
first gun of the Civil War at Fort
Sumterin 1861, J. B. Slaiden, who
was an ardent Souther!, sympathizer,
kissed his young wifo good-by and
cast his fortunes with the southern
army, leaving his bride o? a few months
at the home of her parents in a small
town out in the State.
From the day they i-oparated until
she fell fainting into his arms last
Friday they never mes. One of his
boyhood companions who returned
from the front reported that he had
been killed in battle, and just before
the close of the war he received news
from a comrade that his wife was dead.
The last letter he received from his
wife told of the death of his parents,
and the announcement that she too
had gone to her rest almost finished
the wreck that forced marches in the
Louisiana swamps and the privations
of war had begun, and Slaiden decided
never bO return to his native State.
He served till the last flag of the
Confederacy was furled, and then,
dreading the shock of a visit to his
old home, he joiued a party bound for
Old Mexico to cast his fortunes with
the sonst of the Montezumas. Oa the
way one of the party died from ex
posure, and the other two entered the
silver mines and gradually worked
their way up till they became mine
owners in a small way. Finally, by
good management and pursuing good
business methods, the two partners
became owners of one of the best pay
ing mines in tho Diaz Republic.
Thus Slaiden had spent more than a
quarter of a century away from his
native country and his people. He
had become a fixture in Mexico, spoke
Spanish and the greaser dialect like a
native, and never held communication
with any of his old friends at home.
His wife mourned him as dead, and
finally made her home in St. Louis,
where she undertook the education of
her son, who was born soon after his
father entered the army. This boy
grew to man's estate and became con
nected with a manufacturer of mining
machinery. A little over a month
ago his firm, desiring to introduce its
goods in Siexico. sent him there to look
over the field.
One day in a hotel at San Luis
Potos? father and son met. The old
mine owner remarked the similarity of
names and inquired about the young
man's antecedents.
The recital that followed satisfied
him that the American agent was his
own child. Finally he gulped down
the lump that kept rising in his throat
and ventured the question : ''And
your mother; where is she ?"
Young Slaiden, unaware of the
intensity of the emotion that swayed
the wealthy old miner, said simply :
"She is now at San Antonio."
The announcement of the joyful
news completely overcame the husband
and father, and as he swooned to the
floor he gasped :
"My God ! She is my wife and this
is my son."
When the old man recovered con
sciousness explanations were given
between sobs and father and son left
for San Antonio to meet Mrs. Slaiden.
The joy of the reunion of these two
loving souls who had so long mourned
each other as dead, was ecstatic, and
as soon as they could arrange for the
trip the husband and wife started on
a visit to the scenes of their honey
moon. As soon as Mrs. Slaiden's
affairs can be arranged she will return
with her husband to Mexico. It is
expected that their son will join them
there.?St. Louis Repuhlic.
The Pareon and the Darkey.
It is told of an old Baptist parson,
famous in Virginia, that he once visit
ed a plantation where the darkey, who
met him at the gate, asked which barn
he would have his horse put in.
ciIIave you two barns?" asked the
doctor.
"Yes, sah," replied the darkey:
"dar's de ole barn, and Mas'r Wales
has jes built a new one."
"Where do you usually put the hor
ses of clergymen who come to see your
master?"
"Well, sah, if dey'e Methodist or
Baptist, we gen'ally puts 'em in de
old barn, but if dey's 'piscopals we
puts 'cm io dc new one."
"Well, Bob, you can put my horse
in the uew barn; I'm a Baptist, but
my horse is an Episcopalian."
Pat's Ready Wit.
An Irish car driver was called upon
to settle a wager which turned upon
his ability to answer any question
that was put. to him without stopping
to think. The circumstances having
been explained to the man, he said,
"Be after askin' me the question,
your 'onner."
"Well, new, Pat, tell me what's
nothing?"
"Arrah, now, shut your eyes and
yc*ll sec it immediately," was the in

Waking Up a Town.
There were six men in front of the
village post office talking in a friendly
way and using their jackknives on the
hitching posts, and as many more sat
on the steps of a store opposite, in
brotherly attitudes. All was peace
and harmony and good will, when a
man came riding up the street on a
weather-beaten horse. He was a
stranger in town, but without a word
to anyone he dismounted, hitched his
horse to a post and walked off into a
side street. Twelve men looked at
that horse for two minutes without
saying a word. Then one remarked :
"He's bin foundered some time."
"It's: just spavins," replied his
neighbor.
"That shows all you know about a
horse ! I tell you he's been founder
ed. I saw it when he was a ijuarter
of a mile away."
"Nothing ails that horse," put in a
third man as he stood up to get a bet
ter look.
"Nothing but the worst case of
glanders I ever saw," added a fourth.
Then the sixth man on the steps went
over and joined the other six, and all
began a critical examination of the
beast. They looked into his mouth,
pulled his ears, poked his ribs and
lifted his feet, and one man finally
observed :
"He's at least 15 years old, and I
wouldn't give $5 for him."
"If you don't know more than that
you'd better keep out of horses,"
sneered the village blacksmith, who
was loafing when he ought to have
been at work.
"Mebbe you know his age ?"
"Ido. He isn't a day over 7."
"Say ! He's got six ringbones in
plain sight ' exclaimed a carpenter.
"Ringbones be hanged !" put in the
cooper. "The horse has got poll
evil."
Every one of the 12 men had an
opinion to express, and having ex
pressed it he was determined to stick
to it. About half the crowd insisted
that the equine was the victim of a
half dozen different diseases and ail
ments, while the other half put forth
indignant denials. After a few min
utes of this the cooper called the
blacksmith a liar, and was hit on the
chin, audHhat started the row. Ev
erybody went to lick everybody else,
and the mob surged back and forth,
and up and down and used fists and
feet and clubs and cobblestones. At
the end of a quarter of an hour there
was a cessation of hostilities, and men
limped away to wash off the blood and
repair damages. Just one man was
left to "hold the fort," and ae he
got his breath he defiantly exclaimed:
"I say that boss has got ringbones,
spavin and poll evil combined, and
any man who disputes me is a liar."
"What hoss areyou talking about?"
asked a man who had taken no part in
the row.
"Why, that hoss over?"
But there was no horse over there.
During the row the strauger had re
turned, mounted him and ridden
away.?M. Quad, in St. Louts Repub

Grant liai a Monument at Last.
New York, Dec. 28.?At the sug
gestion of Gen. Horace Porter, presi
dent of the Grant Monument Associa
tion, the board of estimate to-day
appropriated the sum of $50,000 to
pay the expenses attending the dedi
cation of the Grant monument, on
April 28. The money is to be ex
pended under the direction of the
mayor and board of estimate.
In his statement to the board Gen.
Porter said that the ceremonies should
be under the direction of the city
authorities, as the dedication of the
monument is to be distinctly a city
affair. He said that the association
would turn over the monument to the
city on the day of dedication, and
then their official connection with the
ceremonies would cease." Gen. Porter
said that the total cost of the monu
ment will be $600,000. the largest sum
ever raised by popular subscription
for such a purpose. All of this
money, except $18,000 he said, had
been contributed by citizens of New
York city in amounts ranging from
one cent to five thousand dollars. He
further stated that President-elect
McKinley had agreed to be present at
the ceremony, and that all' the mem
bers of the Cabinet, the diplomatic
corps, the Legislature, Governors of
States and mayors of all large cities
ought to be invited. TheGovernment
would invite all nations maintaining
fleets in the Atlantic to participate in
a naval parade.
A Gigantic Engineering Feat.
Holland has determined upon a gi
gantic engineering feat?the reclaim
ing of 785 square miles of land now
lying under the Zuyder Zee. Eight
hundred years ago all of Holland con
tained but 600 square miles of land,
or less than one-third the area of the
State of Delaware. Gradually, by
means of great dykes, land has been
reclaimed until the present area is
nearly 13,000 square miles. This is
more than twenty times the original
area. The new work involves the
construction of a dam twenty-seven
miles in length. The line will run
from a point near Helder, which is
north of Amsterdam, to the island of
Wieringen. Then from the east end
of the island, which is ten miles long,
it will extend eastward to the main
land, connecting at a point juet south
of Workutn. The dyke will measure
thirty-five feet a? the bottom, taper
ing to eight at the top.
The first task is the driving of two
rows of piles on either side of the
proposed dyke, forming a passage fifty
feet wide. Against these there will
be packed bags of sand until two par
allel embankments are raised above
the sea level. The water will then be
pumped out of this area and a dry
canal formed from shore to shore.
Here on the bed of the sea the dyke
will be built of solid masonry. Be
hind the wall will be a bank of earth,
bound with willow twigs in a series of
basket work. For the drainage of
this great basin colossal windmills are
to be constructed 200 feet in height,
with arms seventy-live feet long.
These will raise the water into the
net-work canals, which will cover the
reclaimed area. Nor is this the end
of the task. The bottom of the sea is
of sand of little fertility. Top soil
and fertilizers will be brought from
every Dutch colony, and in two or
three generations the depressions will
be brought to the level of the canals.
Where once the sea flowed unrestrict
ed there will be green gardens, and
farms, dotted with cottages and towns,
and canals covered with heavily laden
barges.
Holland will have spent 850,01)0.000
in completing this enterpise, but she
will haw added $600,000.000 to her
national wealth, and will have dem
onstrated afresh the moral greatness
of a people who, in the face of such
tremendous natural disadvantages,
have the patience to compel earth to
yield her treasures.?Literary Digest.
? "Yes," said the retired army
offiocr, "I can recall two occasions
when I was terribly frightened."
"?h," exclaimed the romantic young
lady, "do tell me about them. I sup
pose it happened when you were fight
ing the Indiana." "No," he replied ;
"one time was when I wao married
and the other time wae when we had
cur h?b'' christen?1'!.'1
Affections of tue Cow.
Bloody milk is a derangement caus
ed either by a spongy condition of the
glands of the udder ? r ulcer in the
ducts of the teats. For treatment
bathe the udder twi< a day with cold
water and give sulphate of iron two
grains at a dose in the morning and
iodide of potassium on grain in the
evening in bran mush. Continue the
treatment as long as necessary.
"Warts are contagious, and a milker
with a warty hand may very likely cause
them to come on the cow's teats. The
remedy for man and animals is to ap
ply any caustic preparation to the
wart until it is coroded away and a raw
spot is made in its place. Then ap
ply calomel to the raw surface, and
protect it with a bandage until heal
ing is completed. "When a milking
cow is troubled with warts on the
teats, and there is difficulty in milk
ing, a silver tube should be used to
draw the milk, which will flow when
the other teats are milked.
The so-called loss of cud is the re
sult of ioMigestion, the remedy for
which is to give a pint of raw linseed
oil, or even melted lard. It may be
repeated the second day. when some
warm mash or sloppy food should be
given, with one teaspoonful of pow
dered sulphate of iron and ground
ginger, given in some soft food or in
some gruel. The udder of a cow near
calving often contains thick, soft,
curdy matter, but more of it when the
animal is in a condition of inflamma
tion from any cause, as overdriving.
This will doubtless disappear as the
result of the medicine and the nurs
ing, when, by good care, the calf will
come in due time safely.
Whipping Balky Horses.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
press continually admonishes whom it
may concern that it does no good to
whip or pound a baiky horse, almost
every owner or driver of one does it
to-day. It is probably the greatest
piece of horse folly in existence, de
clares The National Stockman. It is
not a remnant of barbarism, but it is
continued barbarity, and brings out
what original sin there is in a man.
The brain of a horse can retain but
one idea at a time. If the idea is to
sulk, whipping only intensifies it. A
change of that idea, then, is the only
successful method of management.
This may be accomplished in scores of
ways, a few of which are here named :
Tie a handkerchief about his eyes ;
tie his tail to the bellyband or the
backhand ; fasten a stick in his mouth ;
tie a cord tightly about his leg ; clasp
his nostrils and shut his wind off until
he wants to go ; unhitch him from the
vehicle, and then hitch him up again,
or almost anyway to get his mind on
something else.
Whipping or scolding always does
harm. The treatment should always
be gentle. There are more balky dri
vers than horses.
Whiskey for a Shroad.
CytHIANA, Ky., Jan. 3.?Charlee
Bramlette, aged 80 years, died Janua
ry 2. He owned several farms in
Harrison county and had been a pros
perous business man all his life. At
a low estimate he was worth $100,000.
He was peculiar in nothing but his
ideas of his own burial. He was a
great reader, aad perhaps drew his
notions from the histories of ancient
Egypt. At any rate, wherever he
may have obtained them, his direc
tions regarding his burial were unique.
About 15 years ago he hired a skill
ful stonemason to make a sarcophagus
of blue Kentucky lime stone, which is
more durable than the hardest marble.
At the same time he bought a barrel
of the best old Bourbon the State
could produce, and ordered that at his
death the whiskey should be poured
upon his body after it was placed in
the stone coffin. The sarcophagus
was then to be hermetically sealed and
placed in a grave near his residence.
All his directions have been followed
to the letter and he is to be buried to
morrow. It will take a number of
horses to carry his body in its heavy
reccptable to the grave already wait
ing for it. Mr. Bramlette was a con
stant imbiber of apple brandy and
never left his house without a flask
full in his pocket, although he never
seemed intoxicated.?St. Louis Re
public.
Causes of Imanity.
The causes of insanity are predis
posing and exciting. Probably the
predisposition was strong in all these
cases, but as no one can tell without
a trial how much excitement he can
endure, and the trial may ruin him if
he goes beyond a safe margin, inex
cing times everyone should sleep more
than usual and never lose self-control
for an instant. Even in religion, the
man who neglects his meals and sings
or shouts or talks to past midnight, is
in a bad way. The mighty revivals of
Wesley were managed- with due cau
tion. He went to bed and compelled
his ministers to go to bed at the usual
hour, and he was known to rebuke
most strenuously those who in this
particular would not obey him.?JV".

General Longstreet, who com
manded corps in Lee's army, told
me, several years after tho war,
that the evening on which news
was received that Grant intended to
give personal direction to the army
which was to operate against Lee
lie had a conversation ontho subject
at Lee's headquarters. An officer
present talked very confidently of
being able to whip with all case the
western general who was to con
front them, at which Longstreet
said, "Do you know Grant?" "No,"
the officer replied. "Well, I do,"
continued Longstreet. "I was in
the corps of cadets with him at West
Point for three years, I was present
at his wedding, I served in the same
army with him in Mexico, I have
observed his methods of warfare in
the west, and I believe I know him
through and through, and I tell you
that we cannot afford to underrate
him and the army ho now com
mands. We must make up our
minds to get into line of battle and
to stay there, for that man will fight
us every day and every hour till the
end of this war. In order to whip
him we must outmaneuver him and
husband our strength as liest wc
can."?General Horaco Porter in

The Great Bustard.
The great bustard is the rarest
bird that comes under the head of
game. This bird formerly haunted
all the level counties of England
and was particularly common on
Salisbury plain. From the reign of
Henry VIII repeated measures were
passed in order to protect it, and it
is expressly included under the
head of game in the statute of the
first year of tho reign of William
IV, which codified and reformed the
laws relating to game.
