jotinj ; lady * { this city thu lovely
and roinanci'inspiring footstool of
tlio angles 1ms boon in a constant
stnto of hope nnd tlo < n.tir. Tlio nous
rt-coivod infill before Insl from the
wntidoiiug iluAHiuittu lias Hint glad
ness niul aorrow t i ninny a. . breast ,
but to the young liuly in question it
hi\s created I he moat anxious te.irs.
Yestord.iy , just before tlio San Fran
cisco train pulled out , n nutronly old
lady might luxvo boon soon support
ing n heavily-veiled young \\oiimn
They were evidently mother nnd
drtu htor , from thu tender nnd
motherly manner in which thu elder
lady looked nftor thu slightest want of
her companion. A Times reporter ,
noticing thu couple , surmised tlint thu
young liuly wns laboring under some
Ktvat mental sorro-v. llu looked
toward the coach from which thu
Indies had just alighted nnd SAW that
it wna n private ciurinije. His curionity
wns nrousud. He approached and
cautiously interrogated the driver.
Tlio old coachman wan very reticent ,
nnd thu newsgnthcrur waa about to
K'IAP up in despair , whun an idea
Btruok him. llu put it into execution
nt oncu by telling the old mnti that
Ilia interest in thu two ladiuH had Inen
nroused from the fact that he. believed
lie snw a f.unily resemblance between
himself nnd them.
" 1 arrived here the '
just other dny.'i
said the reporter , "and I liavo uvery
reason to believe that that elder liuly
is n very near relation of mino. "
This had the desired ollVct , and the
poor old man unfolded n story of ro
mance in real lifu that never occurs
more than oncu in n century. It. aeonis
that Mi s was visiting friends
in San Francisco during the winter of
1878 7 ! . She mot Lieutenant _ D.i-
honhower , U. S. N.n noble specimen
of manhood. The lieutenant w.ia
emitten with the fair daughter of Los
Angelos. They met often , nnd the
sequel was soon evident in a desperate
love allair. Hut the old , old Riying
that true love never run smooth was
never more plainly illustrated than in
this case. For several months there
was not a happier pair in all San Fran
cisco. This earthly bliss could not
last long , however. The lieutenant
was under orders to sail in the ill-fated
Jeannette.
As the time drew near the sweet
girl bec.imo sad and pensive , and it
was a common thing for her to meet
her lover \\ith tearful eyes. She told
him her tears , nnd pleaded with all
the eloquence ) only known to n lovely
maiden , but her lover had been
ordered by his country to go to almost
certain death , nnd his honor would
not permit him to break his word ,
even for the being ho worshipped.
Thu sad day of separation finally
arrived nnd the two devoted lovers
parted , possibly never to moot again
in this world.
This is the sad story told in brief by
tlio old coaRhmiin , who related his
tale with tears in his eyes. '
"Yes , sir , " said the old'iollow , "she
has been a different girl _ ever since.
They had only known one another a
abort time , but 1 don't believe two
people ever loved aa did this devoted
couple. Why , sir , her mother said
that when the lieutenant came to bid
hergood-by , it took two of hu brother
officers to separate them when thu
moment of parting canto. She
fainted almost ns soon as hu was out
of the house. When she revived , she
ordered n carriage , and immediately
repaired to the Cliff house. AH
soon as she nrrivod there , she
took n stand where she could
got a good viuw of thu Golden Gate.
Neither commands nor coaxing could
move her until she WUH satisfied the
vessel hul ; passed out to sea After
returning to Los Angeles she led a re
tired life , having been convinced from
the first that she would never sue her
lover again. She has never failed to
bo up by daylight since the ,1 online t to
s.ulud in order to re.td thu telegraphic
news. That air has been the only
thing Unit has over interested her.
Wlu'ii she got Tin Times this morn
ing and got thu news from thu Jeannette -
nette you might have heard her
screams almost n mile oil" The whole
tnmily were in bed at thu time. When
they reached her she was in a faint ,
and everybody thought shu was dead ,
But God waa not kind enough to put
ho poor girl out of her misery. The
Thu first thing she snid was , 'Mam
ma , take mo to Sun Francisco at once. '
She don't scorn to know what shu
wants , but her mother would start for
thu i-pot where thu JoanneUu was lost
it her daughter would ; nk it. "
"Ho weld is she ? "
"Sho was nineteen 1.ml Octoberbut ,
to look at her nowyou would think shu
was ut leant thirty. "
The young lady in well known in
( his city , and up to within the past
two yi nr was one of thu hngitcnt !
ind mu.st boaii'iful of the L > i.'i An-
olei btillei. Hi r numu is mippitmed
for the pie.sent , and hur imloi'tuimto
love all'nr M knoun but by few , HH Ihu
F.imily have m.ido every uffni to Kuop
it qinet.
I'nr thn Hik' ' * < > f thu girl , if for neither
ither tv-a oujt h most devoutly hoped
hnt thu third l nt , with the gallant
iuutui.int and his hrothcrocurHwill ! ! !
yet hu Biived.
This m pnibably onu of thu saddest
itiirioi that eas ever been chronicled
in the Pacific Coast. Thu young
ady's sad history is very similar to
Lady Franklin's , and she will tin-
loubtedly receive great sympathy from
; hit /umininu portion of the wholu
jountry.
' Hoolnl Life in New Mexico-
Interview In Now VorL llmtH with a Miner.
The country is rapidly increasing
in population , and thu nuttlprs are of
i class of men that will bring about
thu reforms that are needed , It may
bo added that women ( except Indian
ar Mexican ) lire very ocarco , nnd sin
gle incident will give n good reason
why. A young inrm but just married
went to n mining quarter with hia
wife , to keep a boarding house. In
the tavern where hu stopped a brawny
now-hoy familiarly chucked thu lady
under thu chin , when the man inter
fered with "J'AuiiKf mo , sir , thm lady
is my wifii. " "Your wife ! Vounv ;
Fellow , a woman who COMICH into this
; ; im | is everybody's wife , " lly this
timu it was ui.temciod th.it thu trem
bling Ionian hitd French heels to her
IKIOIH ! That \uin tuo much. Out
c.amo the pistols , nnd bullet after hill-
lot struck the narrow heels until they
were quite shot oil' , ami without
hurting thu foot. H need scarcely bo
aittlod that the young couple "lit
out ' by the earliest conveyaiiro and
guru up tlio boarding house ido.i , in
that rci-ion nt leaat ,
n I/mul Grunt.
At the coming session of the Wis-
coiiMn Logi.tlaturo n bill will bo in-
tioduccd to declare forfcitedthi1 lands
granted for n road from Mud lake to
Superior city , and confer them upon
the Chicago , St. I'nul , Minneapolis
Omaha Company. The original grant
wan tnndu by Congress in IS.'il ! , the
state holding the lands in trust , nnd
was given power to dispose of them
in such manner as the Legislature
shall provide. In J87-1 the Legisla
ture granted to the Chicago , 1'ortngo
& Superior Company a grant of 2 111 , .
GOO acres on either side of a line sur
veyed from Yellow river to Superior ,
upon condition that the road to Supe
rior city shall bo built nnd in opera
tion by the time the North Wisconsin
is built to Yellow river , the point of
intersection , nnd within live yearn of
its acceptance of the lands , and shall
alee construct nnd put in operation thu
proposed railway of _ said Chicago ,
Portngu it Superior Air Line , north
erly from Gonon in Wnlworth comity ,
nt the rate of twenty miles a year.
Under thin arrangement the time al
lowed for thu building of thu norther
ly sixty-live miles of the Air Line
road would linvo expired May n , 187 ! ' .
The Legislature , however , in 1878 ex
tended the time three yearn , or until
May fi , 1882. The first work wasdonu
on thu line last spring. Meantime a
number of companies had cast a long
ing eye on this grant , as it \\as not
being earned by the construction of n
mad called for by the terms of itn al
lowancu , nnd last winter several bills
were introduced to confer it upon other
companies , notably the Chicago , St ,
I'liui \ Omaha nnd thu Milwaukee .t
St. Paul , but none of them became n
law. Last spring the Conner company
bi'gnn the woik on n Hue from the
Yellow river to Supeiior city , with
thu avowed object of scenting a con
nection with the Northern Pacific ,
and are building n line from Clnppow.t
Falls to Yellow river , having iron
laid to Bloomer. This entire line ,
when completed , will give thorn a
chancu at the Chicago froidit from
Superior nnd the Northern Pacific.
With this line , which it is intended to
complete by J\Iny \ next , thu St. Paul
Oniaha Company , it is nlloged , will
inaku nn effort to secure thu land grant
which , it is claimed , will bo fnrfuitod
by the other company by its failuru
to complete thu road within tin ) al
lowed timo. The points to be madu
by thu St. Paul it Oniaha Company , it
is claimed , u ill be :
1. That the grant made to the AirLine -
Line Company by thu Legislature is a
part of thu grant made by Congress
tor a railroad and branches , and of
that system the present North Wis
consin is constitutionally the main
lino.
2. That the Air-Lino Company will

Christmas Weather for DO Yonra.
A Christinas like the one just past
soft , balmy and benignant , more like
April than December , a second child
hood for old winter sets the world
and our esteemed cotumpornries to
discoursing upon a warming climate
nnd a moderate season. As a mutter
of fact , Philadelphia in thu last ninety -
ty years has had yearly wcathcrwhich
has not varied through a span of live
degreen. In the iifty-aovon years
from ITM to T84G no year was hotter
than 54 degrees (1828 ( , ' 45and'4Cj ,
nnd only olio colder than 01 degrees
mean tumperaturo , 1810 , when ice
formed every month in the year , and
thu annual average sank to ! ! ( de
grees.
Last Christmas was warm und De
cember has been an open month ; but
in 1828 December hnd fuw frosty
nights , thu mornings were otton fog-
try , "tho Btunu ns dog days , " says a
chronicle of the weather , "and a warm
sunny day would ensue , " and Christ
mas was warm. Thu next year , 182 ! ) ,
was almost as warm. Twenty
yeijrs
later , 1840 , Dccomhor wna warmugain ,
with a fortnight clear of frost , nnd
the noonday temperature close on to
Christmas was 50 degrees in the shudu
too warm for fires.
Th'i oldest inhabitant , it m true ,
who is old enough to remember that
Philadelphia had good sleighing for
days before Chriutmas Day , 170 ! ' ;
that in J7'L ! ' mmw blocked thu roads ,
and ClniHlnias inaihi and greetings
from other cities got through with
dlfliculty ; that thu next year gave
Hhtighing noaily all December , with
icy htreit't Chrmtmiis Day , owing ton
thaw nnd sharp frost just before ;
while in 1802 , 1815 nnd J81C. deep
MIOW and weather chmo to zero luitod
through half thu month - imcli an old-
c.it inhabitant might bo pardoned for
believing that Christmas Hhowud thu
buyinning of warm G'hriatmnHCR. Hu
might uven say in un ctttcomcd con-
tompornry that "a green Christmas is
thu rule of latu yearn rather than the
exception , " forgetting , na the old do ,
that onu year ago Christmas weplc had
thu coldest weather - minus nix de
grees for twenty-five years , with
sleighing from Christmas on ; that two
days after Christmas the year before
waa the coldest day of 1878 , and that
for a quarter of a century December
ha furnished the lowst annual turn-
p iraturo for over n fifth ofihu time )
liut it would bo absurd for our oldest
inhabitant to forgot that hu had days
in December , 182G , which wont up to
CO degrees , and extremely mild weath
er Chrifttmaa , 17U ! , utterly spoiling
thu sleighing on which he had confi
dentially counted when snow full De
cember disappointment ho had
to bear again Christmas , 1705 , after a
week of excellent sleighing earlier in
the month. The catching weather of
1820 nnd thomuddy Christmas ot 18'il
.vould linger in IUH mind and nmko
him hesitnto in assuming that our
wintcru were warmer ; nnd if ho wan a
level-headed oldest inhabitant hu
would conclude that , taking ChrihtT-
mau weather for ninety yenr.i , them
IIIIH been n good deal of B.-UIIUIIUHH
about it , and that memory is n bad
guide for a talk on the wenthor.
Forney's Money.
l'rw < 4.
Colonel Forney was supremely nnd
curiously i diHerent in money mat
ters. Ono instance thnt strongly illus.
( rates this trait has caused nuny a
lie < rly laugh nmung his acquaintance * ! .
Despite the mlvieo of many fiiendn ,
among them Pierce Hutler , the hut-
hand of Fanny Komble , hudeternuned
toinxest n largo sum of money in anew
now enterprise , n rico-i'leaning ma
chine , or something of thnt sort. Ho
felt tinani'ially nblo to do tins by
reason of having mtulc a sale of some
Like Superior property. Ho filled out
a check on the llirnnl bank for n
very largo amount , nnd intrusted it to
n frioiid for collection. When the
piece of paper wns presented to the
paying teller , that otliunl first
scratched his chin and then went to
see the presid'ent of the bank who nt
that time was Mr. Rikor , father of
the Hon. Ueorgo 11. Haker. Mr.
linker came forward smilingly and
and said that while Coh no ) Forney
had < nnto a largo sum of money on
deposit in the bank the amount to his
credit wns not equal to thnt called
for by the check , but still if Colonel
Forney would stop down to the bank
himself , the check would bo honored.
The friend returned to The Press
ollico in nn indignant frame of mind
and told Colonel Forney that ho had
made him the bearer of a check thnt
had been dishonored , for the reason
that there was not sulliciunt funds in
the bank.
"Some mistake , sir ; somomiitnko , "
replied the big-hearted editor. "I
have much more than that on deposit
in the - hank , " and ho uttured
the name of a famihardupository other
than the ( iirard.
"Hut 1 did not go there , " replied
the friend in amazement. "Thu check
is drawn on thu ( Sirard Hunk. "
"My ! my ! " said Colonel Forney ,
"did 1 nmko such a silly miatakul
Why , 1 have not n penny , in thu
Girard Hank. 1 did not intend to send
there "
"Oh , yes ; you have a largo duposit
in the ( iirard bank , " answered the
friend , "but it wns not Hulllcient to
moot this chock. "
" \ mistake , sir ; a mistake , " re
plied the colonel , "I have not a pen
ny there. " A visit was madu t-i the
Girnrd bank , however , and Colonel
Fornoy found to his amn/ement that
hu was much richer than ho thought.
In the 8'imu way , when the Longacres'
bank in Lancaster failed , Colonel
Forney found that ho had n Icng-timu
deposit there that hu knuw nothing
of. It was this indifloronuo in money
matters that exemplified , probably an
well ns any other trait , the lavish dis
position of the man now mourned ;
lavish not only with his wealth , but
with the more precious treasures of
his heart.

A NOBTO Conjuror's Fatal
Washington SUr , Uoo 10.
Hnmpton Price , a negro conjuror
nnd nrutundud doctor , was fatally shot
on Friday night near Franklin , Vn. ,
under peculiar circumstances. Ho
had become hard up in his own neigh
borhood and came hero to butter his
fortune. Ho professed to bu a conju
ror nnd doctor of wonderful skill , and
an aged negro in well-to-do circum.
stances became greatly interested in
him. To this mnn Price t-aid that the
advance of half a dollar would secure
a chain which would lend its owner to
find a mnn of coined gold in the neigh
borhood. The aum was promptly paid
and the chnin obtained , but its owner
was not able to find the mine of
wealth promised. Hu returned to
Pricu and demanded the return of his
money which WON refused. The town
sergeant renewed the demand , but
Pricu again refused , and unforced his
refusal with n boot-jack , inflicting
painful wounds upon the oflicer. The
latter then drew his pintol nnd shot
the conjuror in the backiw ho WIIH run
ning. _ _ _
