In ail I lie soulli ilit-re in no more
romantic region Ilian dial beyoml
the Blue K<l go mountain*, in
North Carolina, where Ilie woli
and llie Indian yel play !lien
pari, as in the days of early set
tlement. In Jackson county a
▼asl tract of ;wii is owned by
the Cherokees. Ilie'L-asterii batin’
of this once powerful tribe hav
ing there their hief estate.
Seated by a cosy fire the other
night, in a committee room in the
capital, Senator Elias related a
curious story.
He said that ig! 15f>2 a stalwart
mountaineer named Hamrick,
who up to that lime bad managed
to avoid the war and its attend
ant features of volunteering or
being conscripted, brought a bux
oin wife wi*h him from Swain
eounly into Jackson county, ami
made his home in tins quiet and
lovely coyo in the I idian reser
vation.
Mouths passed. The pair were
devoted. The young wileixpe
rienced ail the delights of a thor
oughly primitive existence, liui
this was not to lust. There was a
regiment of Cherokee* in 1 lie
service of the slate, under the
command of ole! Colonel Thomas
O.io day an officer of this regi
ment returned and found Hum
rick in the cove. Toe latter was
conscripted and hurried to tin
front. Ilis wife in xt heard from
him in northern Virginia. Loiters
were infreqwent, messages sol
dorn came.
Jn 18(34 the wife—to whom a
pair of twins, a hoy and girl, had
been born—learned ilihi her bus
band had disappeared; that utter
bis name on the roll ot hi* com
pany was only that dreadful en
try, “missing.”
In 1865 the war ended, and with
its close came to her the news
that her-husliaiid hud deserted
gone over to the enemy. Year
after year passed. Tie wife kept
the vigil of love and wearily
waited for the missing husband,
who never came.
There were wooers enough, and
“the widow,” as she was called
hi the neighborhood talk, hud
what were there considered go >d
offers. One patient lover named
Bowers, thrice rejected, perse
vered, and in 1876 won the prize
ol his devotion, lie brought hi*
effects to his wife’s home in tin
eove. Ten years more passed and
1886 came. Not one word of the
long lost first husband had been
heard since the returning soldier*
brought news ot li imrick’s de
sertion. True as I tie wife's de
votion was to her second husband
she had yet a warm spot in in i
simple heart for the iiisi, an! in
her rude, uncultured way she
even wove a half romance out ol
the great and apparently uncini
lug mystery of his absence.
One bright day last summer u
stranger came to Bower’s boon
in the cove. Tiie place was in
most respects like it was i • ISG3
for changes in the mountain wild*
are made slowly. Bowers was
not at home. Tne wife was now
a buxom woman of forty years,
far tidier in Appearance and with
much more natural grace and
sprighlliness of manner than the
average woman in that section.
The stranger asked who liver
there. Was told the *‘B iwers fam
ily.” In a hospitable manner lx
was asked in (he house, where
presently came to their motliei
two children, one of six, Uie ot ti
er of uiue years.
At dinner tune the family re
ceiYed two more additions—a
young man and young woman
about twenty-three years old, ex
ceedingly alike iu lace and man
ner. The stranger asked, “Win.
are these?” ‘"They are H mrioks's
was the reply of the good wile;
“my children by first husband.”
People in the mount mis in many
cases loye to talk —in fa- t, are
not infrequently garrulous— and
in half an hour the wife had told
the story of her first marriage and
tbe deep mystery which had end
ed it. The stranger listened at
tentively, and just as the story
was concluded Bowers came in
A neighbor came in, and soon
learned the story, too. The wile
bustled about, of course, excited,
but not in tears, ilamrick and
Bower* talked together. The
neighbors, alter the manner ol
neigtileori ell Hi* w i>rbi over, ivlei
the new* m people with II r -•til.
end ii< day these i am-- to ln-at
uni see. A few, a very few. I.a-t
a remembrance of lliimririi; rm*
vivid, but fain', for lie hail lived
in Ibai tori ion but a little while.
>' course.
Presently some iiiqoaciou*
neighbor >aid to Uni r: “Well
a hat are you going to do slum'
i f
i “About wlia f’’ was the reply.
“Win, about that inau fla:n
I ricK. lie’s your wife’s bu-baud.’'
this piii anew face on lb
I matter. B >w<-rs Im 1 not though'
fit in that way, neither bad the
■vifc. She broke into tears.
T.iere were a dozen people in
ii tbo house*. All were looking
nd listening wnb rude curiosity,
i’lie house seemed cram pen, and
j B .we-r-s said, ‘ L el’s go out lours ”
| All wen*. X * sooner had tliey
i arrived it. the yard il.an the wile
went to B >wers and threw lift
I irins about linn.
At ibis whatever manlfwe-s
--| there was in Hamrick came to
the surface and asserted iMulf.
i lie said: ‘-Pil tell vou wliat J'il d<>.
I people; 1 don’t want to make no
disiurbence and I II go right back
: where I came from.”
That was all. he said. Tite crowd
! half apoke, half nodded assent to
Ip- propostiton and-plan in one
R'glit there, under the trees, tin
inaller was fixed as it in court be
oredkjtiry. Hamrick said be was
s a 11fl -1, and declared that this
time lie would go “for goo-I.]’ II •
tftld the people, bis wife, bin chil
dren, all goodbye. Only the wifi
cried, not through any sentimen
tality about the silualioi , but out
of pure emotion and a desire to
do her du'y in her own simple
way.
There was, nevertheless, in the
-situa'inn, us in the subject, eve
rythiiig that the most ardent
novdisl could desire, and ye'
to these people all was a fact
without, fioss b'y the barest sag
ceslion ot sentiment.
The neighbors did not spread
ho ies very much outside theii
own circle, and the affair was a
mere mailer of neighborhood
1 idk. No one thought that the
law would cyer step in. Bui
step in it did, iu u way just as
romantic, though just as real, a
everything else.
A neighbor of Bowers Inn) wlial
in that country is known as “i>
lulling out” with him ab ml a
cider press. Out of these trivial
II tirs grow quarrels, harsh
words, nay, bio. and letting and
homicides, not itilVc-qu<->ull v.
Tois lime Bowers’ new made
•Miemy was ol another slump ol
mar. It,-knew ol the liiuirick
matter, hut ale v months ago
iet tied. So last Ocloln-r lie
went to llu> county seal and theie
gave lo lhe solicitor or a griiuil
juryman the into uialloii that
Biweiswus vi lilii g the stuute
"I unlaw fully living with a wo
man, and that the woman had
also vi dated (he law iu cummit
iog bigamy.
Now beio was a situation.
15 ..Vi is and tins wife were arrest
ed and Senator Eias, a lawyer ol
repute in nil that region, was
; o:t M to detcml ihem. The
nusb.it and, who had given bond for
u s appearance ai court rode
many miles after “Lawyer Elias’
a id told him the whole story.
The lawyer, a man ol cull ure,
was astonished at the story thus
unrolled before Ins very eves

Hess. He 10l l I lie whole sioi't

that lie tiiouli return to the lar
northwest and all remain as it
was.
The narrative had its effect up
on the rudest mind ; bn! the law
had technically, unknowingly
been violated ; it must bo teen
ideally enforced. So liters was a
technical verdict ot guilty, with a
recommendation to Hie mercy o
ihe court it tue parties lived sep
arate and apart.
Tins was Lawyer E ias’ chance,

might live together; that ihe
verdict was only technical, and
the judgement a mere fmm, aim

They acted on (tie suggestion,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
Alihniigli ilie marble halls ol
| 'he Capitol were deoeiied by oui
awmakers a week ago, many <ii
-hem siiL linger m Washington
j and will emit lime here lor months
I o come. The Northern llepre
jseiitatives are loalii to leave tin
j mild climate of the Capital a
j tills season ot the ycai, and are
; always dispose', to retnam here,
jCregivss or no Congress “until, v
|as ou<r—rrf them remarked, ‘v
i itiawi out at home.”
Tile wir is 1 <t• I of gx:ra sessiot.
1%. cialic members o
1 Congress and otherswho have
| means ol knowledge on ilie sub
ject, do not now. believe that the
j Fiftieth Congress will he calico
together soon, but that an extra
session in the early auium is ao
v l l that ought to he laced.
The House of Representatives
ihat was elected in N .vemher last
entered upon its official existence
on Uie4:h of tins month, and its
members are now under pay.
Tuey are doing no service and
without, organization are incapa
ble ol doing a uy. Ii is not until
they have assembled, i lected a
speakers, and been arranged in
committees, that they can c titei
upon Hie work ol legislation. 1
Congress does not meet until tin
unsual lime in December, in thr
light ol many precedents little oi
nothing can b • expected of it mi
ni the beginning uf next year, Ivi
it is well known that no Congress
nas at tempted to do any real
work until alter the holiday re
cess.
An extia session is alwavo un
popular and tiie President is ai.x
unis, of course, lo avoid it, hut in
order that soin of the important
legislation to come up during tin
in xi year may be matured in ilia;
liuie, it is thought to be Ihe only
alternative. Those whose counse
is Inquenlly scught at the \Yhit<
House now sa.v that Ihe contem
plated extra session would begin
about the first ol October and inn
along into the regular session,
and that the questions of revenue
and taxation wjul.l receive at
tention first.
Another reason why it is deem
ed expedient to make the Fiftieth
Congress take advantage of extra
tune is the tael that the next year
will ho devoted largely to Presi
dent making. Although it seems
but. yesti r lay since Mr. Cleveland
was inaugurated, vet, only fiiteen
months from now will the Nation
al Convention be held to nomi
uale bis successor. Tiie two great
parties in Congress, when they
assemble after the holiday recess,
will be surcharged with politics,
and every movement that is made
at either end of ilie Cipitol will
live more or less reference in
candidates and politics and the
ssnes ot the ensuing campaign.
Between the friends ot the Ad
ministration on the one hand, in
lenl on maintaining; its credit and
vindicating its record, and the
opponents ol the A ,ministration
on the other, eager lo disparage
a in (he confidence of Ihe peopl,
—between coin bum: i ins here and
combinations ihere in ihe interns
ol rival aspirants—the Capitol will
partake far more ot the clmractu
<>l an arena of partisan controver
sy Ilian ol serious and disinlei
osled labor tor ihe welfare ol the
country. Considering all ih s,
tlie friends ol the administration
(eel Utai the President would b*
■inirely justified in promo ing
ti<e chances of legisiatmn wind
the public interests demand bv
the cjtll of an extra session.
President Cleveland's care aim
ml ustry in reading ail bills, great
and small, and eximimug them
personally before signing I. l>
name to tlie'm, has been criticism
*s an unnecessary assumption • i
labor on ihe part ot the Clnei Ei
ocuiive. It is q uie ivnam Mr.
Cleveland has taken more pains
in lies respect loan an of In
predecessois. an I il cannot t>.
sad that any ol his assisiams
ever wrote Ins signature to enac
ted laws. T iis responsibility In
