THE ROSARY OF HT TEARS.

BT XATHKR BYAsT. Some reckon their age by years. Borne measnre their life by artBat some tell their days by the flow of their tears, And their life by the moans of their heart. The dials of earth may show The length, not the depth, of years, xew or many tuey ooine ww w mimiuxj Bat oar time is best measured by tears. Ah! not by the silver gray That creeps through the sanny hair, And not by the scenes that we pass on oar way And not by the farrows the finger of care On the forehead and face have made; Not so do we coant oar years r Hot by the son of the earth but the shade Of oar souls and the fall of oar tears. For the voting are oftimes old, Though their brows be bright and fair; "While their blood beats warm and their hearts lie cold, , O'er them the spring time -bat winter is there. And the old are oftimes young. When their hair is thin and white; And they sing in age as in youth they sang, And they laugh, for their crown was light. ' Bat bead by bead I tell The rosary of my years; From a cross to a cross they lead 'tis well! And they're blessed with a blessing of tears. Better a day of strife Than a century of sleep; Give me instead of a long stream of lile, The tempest and tears of the deep. A thousand jovsmay foam On the billows of all the years ; Bat never the foam brings the brave bark home; It reaches the haven through tears. MY COUNTRY BEAU. "With all my dignity, my noble husband is a credit to me, you aay. Let me tell you about it." So said the wife of one of our most eloquent divines, in answer to the remark of a dear friend who was spending an evening with her at the beautiful and elegant parsonage home. The following is the story she told: I was born and brought up in a flourishing city of the West, and although it was but a few hours' ride to the shady groves and sunny farms of the country, I had grown to the threshold of womanhood ere I visited a farmhouse. It was on the occasion of my Uncle John's first trading visit to the city, a new railroad having diverted the grain market from its old course, that my first visit was determined upon. He lived SO miles from the city, "right out in the woods," as he assured us; and you may believe it was a grand adventure to me. The very first week a reception was given in my honor by a neighboring farmer, my uncle's now commodious country residence being then In an unfinished condition. It was a "country dance," and some of the country customs into which I was initiated that night were truly astonishing to me. About 11 o'clock, at the time when those living near made their adieux, those Hying at a distance being invited, with myself, to remain all night, I observed that most of the young ladies became very weary, and dropped off, one by one, into remote corners; when the tallow candles, as they burned out, were left unreplenisbed, till at last only the light from the capacious fireplace showed me that each lasiie in the corner had been reinforced by a laddie who : seemed just to her mind, judging by the close proximity which they had assumed toward each other. Just then Cousin Will who wasonlv a cousin bv courtesy, my aunt being his stepmother came to me and asked if he could "sit up" with me that evening. Not knowing exactly what he meant, I consented, and we took our seats just in front of tne iasi expiring nre. Cousin Will began by assuring me ot the great pleasure it afforded him to know personally one of whom he had heard so much ; our conversation, in common with that of the other couples, being carried on in an undertone, to prevent confusion, probably. After a while the flame on the hearth gave the last flicker and expired; and just then I felt Will's arm pass quietly around my "Oh. ho!" thought L "this is a part of the programme I had not anticipated ; but I will -see if I can not give a little light upon the subiecL and find out if the custom is gen eral." Bo, without repulsing bim, I gave a sly poke at the fore-stick with the toe of my slipper, and a brilliant flame shot up; at the same time I felt Will's arm suddenly removed, and noticed a suspicious flatter among ether couples within the radius of the illumination. I then complained of being cold of course I was chilly, or I should not have been so solicitous about the fire and declared my intention of retiring, which had the effect, l being the belle of the evening, of breaking the Dartv ud at least two hours sooner than usual, I have no doubt. Ah! that "winding up spark," as they called it, was quite a novelty to me; but I soon saw through it, my dear sooner, perhaps, than was intended, bv the light of thet blazing chunk. This was not the last of Cousin Will, by any means, for his fine bay horse became quite a frequent visitor, at my uncle's stable. He was a splendid fellow (Cousin Will, I mean, not the horse), or, as old Professor Specimen, of our natural science class would have said, "a most perfect animal," as far as form acd features were concerned. Bat alas! the intellect, the best part of our order of the animal king dom, was utterly untrained. In other words. Cousin Will was an unmitigated greenhorn. But you probably know by experience, my dear, how hard it is for most young ladies I do not mean the old young ladies to get along witbeut the admiration of the other sex. Well, I am afraid I enco or aged Cousin Will to somewhat higher aspirations than I was just prepared to answer: for he was far superior to any other young man whom I met at my an cle a and the result was jast as you have foreseen, perhaps; if I did not fall in love with bim, he made up for all deficiencies on my part by falling desperately in love with me. It was the night before my departure for home, and when Will called, as usual, my , uncle's family, as if by common consent. iouua otner occupations for tneir time, ana was leu as in solitary possession oi tne "best room." "I am sorry you are going sway," he be gan: "L aon't see how I shall ever get along without you, Sadie." My uncle's folks called me Sarah, but I Baa tacgnt will to use the less plain dimin - utive. "Oh, I guess that will be easily manage?," I replied, in as light a tone as I could sum mon, for 1 scented a proposal, and I really liked Will too well to mortify him bv a re fusal And what a figure he would cut among my city mends, to be sure, with his - uncouth manners and decidedly provincial vernacular. Bat although Will was what Hon. Fits Fandoodle would have denominated "de cidedly, aw, out of style you know," yet he had a spirit brave and strong enough to face any fata, and conquer it, too, generally. So all my maneuvrea, which would have thrown a city gallant entirely hors da combat, only precipitated matters in this case, for he looked me gravely in tne face and said, ' as he took my hand he had never presumed upon any greater familiarty since the lesson I gave bim t the party "I will not allow you to put me off with trifling, Sadie; I love you, and although I know yea have known it ill alone, I do not choose to let you leave the Beiuborhood without hearing it in words, in plain king's English, if you please, that can not be misunderstood, even if it is pretty well haggled in pronunciation." Ok. how angry I was! To think he had not only completely fooled me in my at

tempt at throwing him out, but he had

effectually clossa the door of my escape irom tne charge 01 nutation. J i "Then, Cousin Will," I cried, my cheek burning with resentment and chagrin, "you must be a great goose to suppose l would have encouraged auoh presumption; for you must know yourself that it is nothing else for an untutored country boy like you to aspire to the society into which I would have to introduce you. - Why, you must be out of your head to think that I would waste one serious thought on a man who could stick down on a farm and content himself to be a "booby" when the world is so wide and full of knoweledge." This by way of balm for the wound my refusal gave him. Bat when I thought to humiliate him, I reckoned without my host. for Will heard me through quietly, and then said, as he arose and took his hat from the old-fashioned bureau: "Well, 8adle, I make no accusation if your own conscience doesn't. So good-bye! I will call to see you when I come to the city," and he was gone before I had time to deny him the privilege he had arrogated to himself. cure enough, tne next tail wnen uncie John brought his grain to market, cousin Will came to our city with him. uncle came straight to our house, but Will, true to the natural refinement that education alone can not give, nor the lack of education take away, put up at a notei, ana at a seasonable hour called at our door. I was expecting him, and had the servant instructed. Poor fellow, he was too honest to understand fashionable tricks, so when he was told that I was not at home." he took it as literally true, and turned sorrowfully away. But on the way home, when he learned from Uncle John's talk that I had been home he was for a time puzzled to understand what was as much of a novelty to bim as the "afterpiece" of the dancing party had been to me. He saw through it in time. however, and that, too, without kicking a chunk, and determined that I should be at home when be called again. It is not necessary to make a long story out of a short one; so I will tell you forth with that Cousin Will went to college, chose the ministry as his profession, and proved himself so satisfactory in the work that he had a call, at an enormous salary, tor a preacher, to a church in an Eastern city where I was visiting at the time. You smile; well. Cousin Will and Rt. Eev.W. H. Traf ton are one and the same person. I did not see him for a long time, as bis church was not the one my uncle's family attended, but finally he exchanged pulpits with our pastor for a day, without knowing, you may be sure, that I was a part of his congregation, for he did not even know that I was in the city. His sermon-was half through before he saw me; but at last our eyes met as I was listening spell-bound to the eloquence that poured from his lips. He faltered, and almost failed for a moment, then rising far above me he went on, and I was humiliated to know that I was for the time passed over. When the services were over be wnisperea to the usher, who imediately came forward as though to open our pew door, and begged us to wait a moment. Soon Cousin Will emerged from the vestry-room with coun tenance somewhat nasnea, ana excenaea hand. My uncle's family, who were related to me from a different side of the house from Aunt Traf ton, were delighted to know that they were so almost of kin to the elo quent young preacher, and cordially invited nini to come ana see me wnue x remaiuea at their house. But what saya Cousin Sadie?" he asked. with a sly twinkle in his eye; "she was not at home the last time I called." "Oh. Will!" I exclaimed (somehow I did not feel like calling mm cousin;, "l was nothing but a thoughtless girl then." "Well, 1 suppose that means l may can now," he said, raising his hat as we partea at the door. And sure enough he did call the very next evening: and added to that call another and another, till he was our most frequent vis ltor : but he took care not to "presume" again, and my heart ached till my cheeks blanched as I thought he never more would offer me the love I once slighted. I little knew him, for his deep eyes had been studying me all the time, that he might be sure a second oner would not be presump tion; so one evening, when we were sitting together in my favorite nook, the bay-win dow of the breakfast parlor, quite apart from the gay party in the drawing-room beyond, he said: "Sadie, I firmly believe the doctrine I preach, that forgiveness is a divine virtue: therefore I would forgive you even if I did not know that I had nothing to forgive. You look bewildered; well, let me explain. By your pride you saved me from ignorance and a wasted life, for 1 never forgot what you said about the 'contented booby,' and it proved a most effectual awasening. Ana now. by my humility, I intend to save you from a broken heart, ior you love me, aacue; you dare not deny it." I could have boxed his ears for his Itrpertinence, but I was far too happy to nurse other feelings, so I only said: "I do not wish to deny it. Will." And thus I came here to live with him at this lovely place, and I am quite willing to admit that he is indeed a credit to me. al though he was once my "country beau," and pronounced ca-l-m kam. Garcia. New York World.l The weight of evidence, or rather of asser tion, is, that Garcia, the famous gamble, is indeed dead. He was a Spaniard, and first came into lame as a great player at Hornburg, where he arrived with a small capital, some 5,000 or 10,000 francs. A steady run of fortune in his favor increased his capital to half a million, and made him the lion of the place, M. Blanc (who died two yeas ago) enjoyed a tilt of this titanic sort. and was also keenly alive to the advantages of a gigantic advertisement; hence he gave the gambler the privilege of playing five times the limit, or maximum, so that on each roll of the ball $12,000 depended. After a two months' struggle Garcia left Hombnrg in nis own carnage, arawn by lour horses, with the whole town cheering him. and something like 2,500.000 francs in his possession. He went home to Spam, built a church, gave alms liberally, and took aa oath never to gamble again. This oath he kept for two years, living in princely fashion iu Spain, bat spending the gaming season on the Bhine, watching the players with serene pleasure. Unhappily, one day at Baden the Duke de Morny met him and asked him to play for a few stakes, that he might have an opportunity of seeing something of the wonderful system by which the great gambler had broken the bank. Garcia declined, and explained that he had renounced play forever; to which the -duke replied, with something of a sneer, that probably he had been pru dent in doing fo. Garcia, nettled at the remark, put down a note and lost it. and another and lost that The dake laughed so tauntingly at this that Garcia went to his hotel, started his pockets with notes and gold, acd returned to the play -room. When it closed at night he had lost nearly $100,000. In a few days the whole $500,000 had van ished. The uaizado anair followed, when Garcia was imprisoned for card-sharping. This ruined him finally. Ere play was stopped at Saxon-lea Bains he hung round tne place tendering instructions to lnex perienced players. Afterward he haunted Monaco, where, nowever, he was refused ac cess to the gaming tables when he had mon ey. So he died in poverty.

CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA

- . , JUINES. . f Tne Bonanzas Flayed Out The Golden Shower Exhausted. Mr. Alexander Delmar at Issue With the Men of tne Bullion Club. Sam Francisco, May 31. To the Editor ot the Isew York Sun: It you will turn to the report of the silver commission, page two, you will observe that, on account of my technical qualification for examining mines of the precious metals, I was commissioned officially to visit the mines of this coast and report upon their probable yield of metal. Accordingly, I came here in November, 1876. while the famous Consolidated Virginia and California mines were "in bonanza," and when it was almost death to hint that they might soon "peter out." The stock of each mine then stood at about 55, which, as there are 510,000 shares in each, came to $59,400,000 for the whole bonanza. I examined these mines carefully, and, in the face of certain specious appearances, and of a general conviction to the contrary, came to the conclusion that the Bonanza was on its last legs, and the public was mistaken. If I had been a stock-speculator I could have made a fortune by bearing the stock; bat I was not. I had been clothed with a grave trust, and I discharged it faithfully and resolutely. I went back to Washington in January 1877, and at once made my report You will see it in the appendix to . the first volume ot the Silver Report, page 1 to 63 inclusive. It was sent to the public printer February 21, 1877. In Jane of the same year I returned to California to examine some other mines and finish my ' History of the Precious Metals," now in process of publication. It was not until two months after my return here that my reoort on the bonanza mines was given to the press. Its publication was the signal for a gereral outburst of indignation from the stock-jobbers and their organs. With one accord they decided that I was a falss prophet, and had either not examined the mines carefully enough, or did not understand the subject. Meanwhile, however, the stock had quietly fallen to half-price, and this fact, more than any confidence in the expertness of a mining engineer who had been denounced by the "Bonanza press," gave me a few weak and trembling friends, who thought that perhaps I might be right after all, provided, of course, that I was not de nounced any further. Well, you know the rest. After they had carefully scraped every "frlnger," every neglected crevice and cranny, for ore; after they had mingled the ore below with worthless quartz, so as to eke out an "average" mixture as long as possible; after they had vainly explored the upper levels for possible fnngers and offshoots of the Bonanza, the managers' were obliged to let the daily prod uct of the mines tell the truth. This product was nothing but a milliDg quartz, and the fact which I had perceived more than a year before was now plain to everybody: the Bonanza was played out. In November last, after the fizzle in Sierra Nevada, the stocks of the Big Bonanza fell to about $5 a share, which, for the two mines, amounted to about $5,000,000, a fall of elevan-twelfths from the value they bore at the time I ex amined them. As for the product, it had fallen to a wretched quartz, which scarcely paid the cost of extraction and reduction. The condition of the mines, from their great size, extensive ramifications, and hasty working, was, and is, extremely dangerous. They may cave in at any tinn, as did the Ophir mine in lstxi. Supposing that the Big Bonanza had fin ished its history and would never be heard of again aa a serious enterprise, I wrote an account of it last year, entitled the "Real History of the Big Bonanza," in which facts, briefly alluded to in this letter, were set forth in some length. Imagine my surprise, in taking up a late copy of the San, to find that the spectre of the BigBonaaza had been introduced upon a New York Stock ex change, and that my old fellow-townsmen were baying its shares at the rate ot $7,000,000 or $8 000,000 for the two mines! Iew Yorkers, let me say a word to you. I do not wish to hurt Dave Croly or his Bullion club. Croly is an old friend, and the Bullion club I know nothing about, except that, as I understand it, is interested in promoting the sale ot mining stocks in New York. But let me ask you to pause a moment before you put your money iato a mine, and give you, in a few words, the ben efit of nearly three years' residence on this coast, and a pretty extensive knowledge of its mining enterprises. I do this in the interest of legitimate mining, that it may have a strong and not weak sup port, and that it may not be retarded by the success of mining bubbles. I do it, also, in the interest of many persons of slender means who may be engulfed in the desperate chances of the jobbery that surrounds quartz mining. 1. On the whole and for any one large district, as California, AOBtialia, British Columbia, etc., quartz mining by freemen never did and never can pay. This is due to the fact that there were, and are, enormous quantities of the precious metals already in the world which were obtained by conquest or slavery, and, therefore, cost nothing. There are also enormous quanti ties of gold obtained in placers at the rate of from $20 to $50 per day per surviving man. All new gold now obtained has to compete against the cheaply-produced metal through the level of prices which it has created : and. for perhaps a century or more to come, the new goia can not maintain this competition without loss. . . 2. Although quartz mining is on the whole unprofitable, people pursue it because it possesses the fascination of lottery and policy gambling. The players know that on the whole it is a losing game, yet they continue to pursue it because each one hopes to be an exception, and to draw a prize. So it is with quartz mining. There are many gold mining properties, but these are as one to a hundred worthless ones. Without the assistance of the highest professional skill, and without the utmost eood faith and probity in every part of the management, it is simpie maaness to invest in the stock of precious-metal mine. Better play poker. . 3. Do not be misled by the figures of past production on this coast. The halcyon days of '49 are long since over, and the placermines are exhausted for white men. The comstock lode is honeycombed and used ud. It is not impossible that another bodv nf rich ore may be discovered in it, but it is very improbable that its product will ever again touch the figures of 1876 and 1877. nr tbe half or the fourth of them. The current product of gold in California, about $15, 000.000 a year, is derived chief! v tmm h draullo mines. usuallT clone enrnnnttinna who have obtained the privilege of washing tbe hills of this State into val'eva. and for the sake of one cent's worth of gold in a cuuiu yaru oi eann, oi coosing its rivers. uiuuk up lis single naroor, ana utterly ruining its agricultural lends. (See both maW ity and minority reports of state commission on mining debris.) 4. It yon desire to invest in a nnartz-min. do not buy any of the stocks offered in a publio exchange. Aa a rule, such stocks are rapt for the unwary. It rarely happens

that stocks are offered for sale until after

he true value of the miae is known to the managers. The stock is than offered either for mora than it is worth, or after the prod uct nas been secretly extracted. . xne only safe way to invest in a mine is to look at it, or employ professional assistance to look at it, first. Any other way is gambling and ruin. 5. There are plenty of mining chances sometimes they turn out to be good ones tor sale on this coast,-chieny in Nevada. Men hawk them about the streets of San Francisco. A prospector no sooner discovers some indications then he hurries to the city for pecuniary assistance to help develop his "find," or to sell it outright These "finds" commonly range in value from $500 to $3,000, ana for these sums you can buy your own mine, incorporate it in New York and man age it yourself. The cost of examining the property varying with distance, time lost cost of journey, length of excavation, assays. reputation of expert, etc. is often as much or more than that of the mine itself. Titles are secure so long as any work is continued. Wages of workmen in mining camps are about $2 50 to $4 a day. varying with locality. All fares and fr.ightare exceedingly high on account of railroad monopoly. All kinds of machinery and supplies can be procured here in warehouse at an advance of say five cents per pound freight and expenses, and per cent prom on .New xork prices. . Albxakdkb Dblm&b.

New York Herald. Taking a "bobtail car" at the nostoffice. yesterday afternoon, a lsdy reporter of the Herald was carried through the hot and noisome streets that skirt the outer edge of this city to the foot of East Fifth street Most of the inhabitants of this portion of the town appeared to be sitting along the curbstones in front of their dwellings, or hanging from the windows thereof and gazing out upon the world with stoical indiffer ence from their dizzy heights. Girls and boys cooled their hot feet in the muddy waters of the gutter, and played at hop scotch or marbles upon the blistering pave ment Other little ones, who had learned at a tender age to make themselves useful, were "minamg tne Daoy, and others again, barely able to walk, carried cracked pitchers of beer in their tiny hands. One little fellow who had been sent out for a pail of beer had become so absorbed in a game of pitch and toss which two little bjys were playing mat ne lorgot ma errana. ana stooa watching the game with bated breath, while the beer also lost its head and looked as dull and black as molasses. At the corner ot Lewis and Fifth streets an enterprising lad bad set up an old counter, on whose brown side was traced in rude characters with white chalk, "O I C orsters and clams one cent each." On the top of this counter were stacked very nearly a dozen oysters, and on the top of the oysters a small piece of ice dripped itself away in the sunshine. Two ragged little fallows regarded this tempting array of bivalves with watering mouths ana bands in their empty pockets. "Is the free bath at this wharf?" inquired the reporter. "Yes, ma am," replied the youthful mer chant, indicating the direction with a brok.n oyster-knife. "It's right down there; but this is ladies' day." The reporter tramped on to the edge of the wharf, and there she found the bath-bouse anchored. Just inside the door was seated Miss Brown, the matron in charge, and her assistant Both were sewing on bathingdresses. Tbe reporter stated her errand and was admitted within the borders of the hollow square that forms the bath. The place is painted in light colors and looked very neat and clean. A row of dressing rooms rutiB around the entire space, and all seemed to be occupied yesterday. "What time do the bathers begin to comer' inquired the reporter of Miss Brown. "The bath opens at a in the morning, and many are here by 4:30, waiting for us to come," "Who are your best patrons?" "The Germans. There are more Germans bathe here than any other people. They are more used to it in their own country and are perfect ducks in the water." One of the ducks passed the reporter on her way oat aa Miss Brown spoke. She must have weighed some 300 pounds. Hello! What has caused that red-haired girl tositdown so suddenly on the steps that ran into the water? it is soon explained, for she shouts in a shrill voice : "Mary Flannigan, Mary Flaunigan, bring me a pin, quick," and the willing Mary soon returns from the dressing room with the needed article. Damages are repaired in a moment, and the red head disappears un der tbe water and a pair of white feet Hash in the sunshine. The feet are white enough after they have been in the water for a while but before they go in the most of them might be modeled in bronzs from their color. "Pardon me. Miss Brown," said the reporter, hesitatingly, "but what is the matter with that girl's legs the one just going down to the water she is striped like a zebra." "Oh, that's nothing," replied Miss Brown, laughing;", 'its merely the dye out of her stockings." The reporter felt immensely relieved to find that such really was the case, and the zabra stripes soon gave way to marble whitness. The girls do not look so bad in the water, as their faces are animated by the excitement of the sport, and their arms, as a general thing, are shapely. It is when they climb dripping upthe little steps and patter across the platform to their dressing-rooms that they look their worst It does not take them long to resume their everyday apparel. The reporter was surprised to see so many with a well-to-do appearance. Others again came from among the poorest of the poor. Match girls aud candy-girls get about their only washing here. Plain as is their appearance, they look well by comparison when they leave their bath house, for their faces shine with cleanliness and their hair is neatly done up. The rush at the baths has not commenced yet and will not until the water gets warmer. It was quite chilly yesterday. and some of the bathers looked very blue about the lips. "I shan't go in for two or three weeks yet" said Miss Brown. "Then yon are a swimmer?" "Oh, yes. That is necessary in case of accidents." "And do you have accidents here?" "Not often, but we do have them. Last summer a lady fainted in tbe water. I was standing right here and saw her go down. I had my street-dress on just as you see me now, but I was over the railing in a minute and had her up. She was beautiful, I can tell you. It was as much as I could do to get her to the steps. She ought not to have gone in, because she had heart disease and the doctor warned her, but she used to be an expert swimmer when she was young and could not resist tbe temptation." The reporter thanked Miss Browa for her courtesy, and taking a last look at the novel scene, including the two fat German women bobbing about like buoys (no power could have sunk them) she bowed herself out and ust escaped upsetting the flag of Erin that was floating into her dro suing room. They are so precocious in the neighborhood of Worcester, Mass.! "My-ilttle seven-year-old girl," writes a friend, ''was in the sitting room alone with her uncle, and dreamily looking from the window. Without turning her head she said, 'Uncle Horace, eight and seven make 15, don't they? He replied that she was right 'Then,' said ahe, in half soliloquy, 'it is only eight years before I shall have a beau, and, oh! I dread it' " Harper's Magazine.

A UOABY BIGAMIST.

The Blue Sapids Sensation Oulminatdng it. ; the Trial of the Offender Prank&rt. How a Veterinary Surgeon From Iowa Led Four Silly Women Captive on His Travels. Special Correspondence Kansas City Tlmes Frasktobt, Kas., June 11. This usually quiet village has been tbe scene of intense excitement for two days past, owing to the fact of a high-life sensation at Blue Rapids. Last fall a gentleman of prepossessing appearance and some 50 years old, but looking at least 15 years younger, made his appearance at that village and announced himself as Professor J. J. Bucklin, veterinary surgeon ot many years' experience and able to cope with the most fatal diseases horse flesh is heir to. Living at Blue Rapids is an old citizen by the name ot McNah. Mr. McN. is a well-to-do gentleman, very highly respected and one of tbe prominent men of the town. Miss Jennie McN., a young Jady of 18 years, and one of the leading belies ot Blue Rapids' society, is a daughter ot the old gentleman. When the professor arrived he sought and obtained an introduction to Jennie. From the onset he commenced Eaying his addresses, but a younger and andeomer man held the young lady's heart in his possession. Parents thought the elder gentleman the most suitable, and by some hooc or crook he succeeded in gaining a reluctant consent to a marriage, which occurred about April 1. Everything passed off smoothly for several .weeks, but the young bride, being a woman, had the curiosity to Investigate the gentleman's trunk, and there found letters which assured her that her liege lord had already a wife living, and had heard from her since his marriage to Jennie. The Scotch blood got up, and on the gentleman's return to his peaceable home he ran into the arms of an officer who unceremoniously conducted him to the county jail to await an examination for bigamy. The former wife was telegraphed to, and tbe two young wives met at this place and proceeded to Marysville to-day and had a consultation with the professor, who received them both together in the blandest manner possible, extending a hand to each, and assuring them he was glad to see them both. The ladies are both al tbe principal hotel here, and your correspondent interviewed them. They have blood in their eye. The former wife is accompanied by a friend, who proposes to spend money to put the gentleman where he will learn a trade, and tbe Blue Rapids bride hss the backing of friends both in that place and here who will assist in the matter. The ladies are occupying one room, and seem to be the warmest of friends. The professor left his wife at Des Moines, Iowa.ln September last and regularly wrote her; but she knew him well, and she says ss she was the third wife she was not suprised to learn he had another. Both ladies are young, of prepossessing appearance, and more in the best society in their respective homes. The doctor is respectfully informed that the end i not yet Hickenlooper. One paper in Minnesota declares boldly that "Foster and Loppenhicker will sweep the 8tate by 60,000;" another, in Illinois, cries, "We personally favored Taft and Foster, but the old Western reserve will come out solid for Foster and Picklechoker;" a third and this In Ohio says in all the majesty of great black letters, "Foster and Hoppenklcker beat them who can;" a fourth, in Iowa, protests that "Foster and Poopenhickle will awske such enthusiasm as tbe Buckeye State has rarely resounded with:" the headlines of a fifth, in Wisconsin, are, "Two glorious men Foster and Pickenchooper the nominees;" a sixth, and again in Ohio, declares that "the Democracy can find no ticket to successfully oppose Foster and Pickylooper;" a seventh, also in Ohio, hoists, along with aa eagle and an American 'flag, "Oar stalwart standardbearers Foster and Choopenlicker;" an eighth, still in Ohio, announces a "massmeeting to ratify the nominations of Governor Foster and General Pocklehicken," and yet another, iu Pennsylvania, where it fairly rains jaw-Dreaking names, enthusiastically yells at the top of its type, "Tiger for Foster! 'Rah for Chicklepicken?" It is perhapj not a very Important matter, still it would avoid confusion if the Republican editors and orators would meet in convention and agree to shout for tbe second man on tbeir ticket under one name, whether it be Heckenlooper, Loppenhicker, Picklechoker, Hoppenklcker, Poopenhickle, Pickenchooper, Pockyloopen, Choopenlicker, Pooplehicken, or Chicklepicken. General Hickenlooper by any other name will be beaten just as easily, and it will be better for tbe family to have him dropped under an alias.
