last night, putting his pants and vest
under his head. He had in his pockets,
four twenty dollar bills, one ten dollar
bill and eleven dollars in sil ver. When
he awoke, he noticed his clothing scat-
tered on the floor and at once suspected
that something had gone wrong. He
fpuud he hau been relieved of all his
money, and notilied the proprietor or
clerk of the hotel, but of course they

A Novel Marriage.
Last Sunday night there arrived on
♦he west bound train, from Kentucky,
Marion Stuart Esq., Mrs. Ida Evans and
Miss* Ida Evans, uged ten years, a
daughter of the lady. Marion is quite j
a youth, being about twenty, while Mt>.
let Evans the blooming bridw is about
fcrty-nlne. It seems They ran away
from "old Kentucky" for the purpose
of coiuiummittiig the marriage, and
having heard many wonderful accounts
of the prosperity of Fort Worth, deter-
mined to stop here and learn whether
there was room here for a live man
with a thrifty wife to make a fortune.
Upon arrival hero, they went to the
Planters bouse, notifying the proprietor
and clerk of their purpose and intention
and desiring to -have the affair tixed up'
a t soon as possible. A drawback was
caused, however, which delayed them
until this morning as the baggage of
neither had arrived up to hist
evening. it arrived last night
in time to have evervthing ready for
this morning. Their wardrobe was con-
sidered an absolute necessity, and the
couple were highly elated when they
found everything ready, just as they
had arranged them. At about a quarter
past 11 this morning, quite a number of
curious spectators gathered at the
Planters llouso to witness this novel
affair, and showed by their countenances
that they were agreeably surprised at
finding tne facts, which bad leaked out,
to be as represented.
When ail was ready, the couple and
little girl came down stairs to the oil-
room of t he office, where ail were gat h-
ered to witness the ceremony. The lit-
tle girl preferred to remain outside, and
did not seepi to realize that anything
unusual was going on. Rev Robert D.
Wear, who officiated, stood up, when
the couple entered, and performed the
eir?mony in a brief, bnt well conducted
manner, delivering an appropriate
prayer at the close of his remarks. For
a time it was supposed that a hitch
vrould be made in another Sense, as the
license was issued in the name of Aliss
Ida Evans, instead of Mrs , which was
the title of the bride. There being a
Miss Ida Evans in the family, there
exist grave doubts as to whether the
groom married the girl or her mother.
Air. Stuart came from western Ken-
tucky, hut has been to Louisville once
with .Charlie Davis of Sinithtield.
The newly married couple will
make their home in Fort
Worth and" are determined to show
efrryMtedy that a young body guided by
an old and experienced brain can work
mb great success as two young hearts
that beat as one.
The Dkmochat extends hearty con-
gratulations and hojies Mr. St uart will
lind employment In our city sufficient
to persuade him to remain indefinitely,
iliey will go to housekeeping at once.

General Sherman and the War De-
partment.
There has always been ill-feeling be-
tween the general of the army and the
secretary of war. Their powers never
have been clearly detiued. Gen. Sher-
man has quarreled with every secretary
of war since he came to Washington.
No doubt he was right, for Sherman is
always right, and he is a great "big man,
and please don't forget it, 1 ought to say,
however, that Mr. Lincoln and Gen.
Sherman have had very little trouble
In Mr. Lincoln's absecne during the
past fortnight Gen. Sherman fias been
acting secretary of war. A day or two
ago a friend asked Sherman how he was
getting on. "Oh," said Gen. Sherman,
quick as lightning, "I am getting along
splendidlv. I am now acting secretary
of war, and for the first time since I
came to Washington tin re is a perfect
harmony between the general of the
army and the secretary of war."—

'Tat Twin Faoos.
A wrller In the Brooklyn Eagle says:
it Is all very strange and foreign, but
not a whit like the halls of the Monte-
zuui«h or the Alhambra. I see the
acequious running through the streets,
and the Irrigating ditches dug by the
early Spanish colonists. I saunter
under the shade of huge grape vines,
with stems as large as a tree, and hear
the clang of the li-on bells in the old
stone beu'rey, built two centuries ago.
I recognize all these traces of an at-
tempted civilization, llko half obllter-
ted footprints in the mire. It is the
imprint of the sterling coin upon the
basest sort of composition. I would
fain flee In disgust from the squalor,
poverty, ignorance and semi-barbarism
whichhave settled in the valley like a
miasm, but already I behold the sun of
a new dispensation; I see that all these
Mexican features arc being rapidly
wiped out bv the settlements of the
East, which liave followed the comple-
tion of the railroads. Hero at LI Paso,
where I am writing, are all the modern
innovations of street cars, water-works,
brick and stone business blocks,
churches of soveral denominations,
suburban vilas. excellent hotels, which
can accommodate hundreds of guests,
shops of all sorts, sopie manufactories
and extensive private residences, to say
nothing of the magnificent railroad
offices and depots which belong to five
great lines, all centering here. The
loc.ition, too, is most picturesque, nest-
ling in the valley of the Rio Grande,
with the fantastic foothills in the fore-
ground and the blue steps of the Organ
mountains in the distant view.
Sncoesnful Journalism.
An exchange says: The press, type
and building of a printing office go*for
very little, and really go tor nothing, il
the editor is not industrious. The suc-
cess; ul journals of the country are the
result of hard labor. Mr. Greeley al-
ways dreamed of going fishing, but
never found time to wet a line James
Gordon Bennett hoped for a time when
he could travel, but time was never
given him. The eight hour system it
something that canhot be adopted by
the successful editor. Like toe law.
journalism is the most jealous of mis-
tresses. Work must begin at an early
hour and extend far into the night.
The profession apparently abhors a
holiday. Of tho editors of all success-
ful papers it might be said.
A primrose on the river's brim,
A yellow priinros- was to him,
And was nothing more.
All the days of tho week are woven
together in one ceaseles3 round of toil,
punctuated with nothing but commas
and sleep. Even the end of a volume
does not allow a full stop. The first
volume is only finished when the editor
is carried out feet foremost. A man who
was something of a philosopher, observ-
ing the habit of industry in all successful
journalists, suggested that some one
vvjite a book, giving detai s of the life
i*#a newspaper. Tliis would be impos-
>le. for the reason that 110 editor has
hyd the time to engage in any such tom-
fofklwp W<ik-writing. In journalism.

What, tho Jlext President Will x«o.
He will be a democrat, sound in prin-
ciples, earnest, in tho faith of his party,
and will be the sturdy champion « f
equal rights—of the jiist right of coi-
po?are privileges, of capital, of labor,
and of t lie people. The sincere ftiend of
economy and honesty in every branch
of the Federal government, ho will be
the enemy of tho privileged clat-Kei?,
aristocracy, prodigality, glitter and false
pretense. lie will advocate return to
republican simplicity,favor the enforce-
ment of law against all malefactors of
high or low degree, whatever their pos *
ilt>n or political influence may be. Civ 1
service reform will be his practice, nt t
his pretense. The constitution, in an
of its provisions, will be his guide, lie
will be the champion of republican free-
dom, not a monopolist or monarchist
under a mask of centralized power. If
such a president will suit the views or
our republican friends, we commend to
their support the democratic presidei -
tial candidate of 188-1.—[New York

Vanderbilt'a Big Gams.
"I nm nstonlslied," said a well-known
and Influential Wall street man yester-
day, "tliat nobody on the newspapers
hud tumbled to the enormous Vander-
bilt game that is going on."
'•Enormous game!" repeated the pnr-
tleular newspaper man to whom he was
talking. "Is it a new game ? What
is it?"
"Simply this: Tho Vanderbiits have
been for some time unloading New
York Central. They held at one t'm-j
nearly all of the eighty millions o' Cen-
tral stock and* now the whole family
hold only about tive millions."
"Do you know what they •. * t for li?"
"Well, they don't propose in shift-
ing responsibility to lose all manage-
ment. 1 tell you that that West IShore
road hue worried them more than all
the legislation. But they are goinj io
make money out of it."
"IIow so?"
"Just as they have always done.
When they have"got rid of most of their
stock quietly you will see the worst
management in the New York Central
that It has e^r displayed—and it lias
been pretty bad at times. Do ;ou
know what will take place then? Down
will go the stock. Yes sir. lie's going
to use that West Shore road to bear his
own Interests. Than he'll cut the rates
and down she'll go again.. Now, where
do you suppose vanderbllt will Le when
that stock reaches hard pan? "Th,.o my
word for it. he will be on deck, anil
don't you forgot it. and will ^o'tble' up
the whole business so quick it will
never know what happened. Tho he'l
pool Ms interests with the. West Shore
up will go the rates and the stocK, uud
there you are, yon know!"
^."Bigthing," said the newspaper man,
"very big thing." But it involves a
question of ethics. Tuat is to say it
presents a most graphic picture to the
