CourUr-Journal.
Considerable of a sensation , involv
ing a very well-known young man and
woman , has just developed in the
East end , in the breaking up of an en
gagement between tlio parties , the
woman now being in Cincinnati , preparing -
paring her outfit and everything for
the wedding. To give the full partic
ulars of the affair , an incident that pc-
curred in 1870 must bo given , in which
the same woman , then very young ,
was concerned. The young couple
STOLE AWAY TO JEFFBKSONVILLE ,
where they were quietly married.
'Tho marriage created a great sensa
tion , and the girl's father was furious.
The young couple thought ho would
finally take his daughter back to his
heart , but ho never relented , and died
.several years ago without recognizing
her , and out her oil' without n dollar.
Soon after their marriage they remov
ed to Ohio , where they lived for some
time. The girl soon found that her
-affections had been sadly misplaced ,
and her husband proved to bo utterly
worthless , and waa finally nrrostod for
robbury and sent to the penitentiary ,
whore ho now is. His wife waa near
ly heart-broken by this blow , and re
turned to Louiavillo , leaving her little
child up there. She soon recovered ,
however , and obtained a divorce
fromhor nusband. Her usual spirits
gradually cumo back to her , and she
Boomed to soon forgot her unfortunate
inafriugo and ventured out in society
'again ' , going in rather recklessly , She
was handsome , well educated and ac-
compliahcd , and had quite a number
of admjn < rB. She became very inti
mate with a young man in this city ,
who appeared greatly infatuated with
her and paid her considerable atten
tion. The girl finally yielded to his
propositions in a moment of weakness ,
and the young man then abandoned
her. Shothon went to Lexington ,

and was

She Btayed there some time and
took care of the child , the people bo
lieving that she was married. She
left the child with some friends and
came back homo , where no ono but n
few friends , who hid thy matter
know of what had happened. Experience
porionco did not prove a very valua
bio teacher in her case , and she BOOI
returned to her old habita. A num
ber of young men in the city wont to
seohorund every possible attontioi
was paid hor. She wont to Cincinnati
some time afterward , whore she entered
tored society and was considered rjuito
a hello. While in Cincinnati she once
moro became a mother , and the fact
becoming known slip left the city and
caiio back to Louisville , concealing
tor disgrace from her friends. She
low began to roalir.o the folly of her
: ourso , nnd determined to marry and
ottlo down , She took up her resi
dence with n rolitivo on Washington
street , near Shelby where she waited
intiontly for the right man to arrivo.
Her wealthy admirers , however ,

when a full knowledge of the wo-

with the full story of her life , and un-
bided the scheme that had boon so
carefully planned to xlraw him into a

Rothschild Marrlngos.
'Mlail ( > lihla | l'rcs.1.
By the tonns of a fnnnly compact
nado in Frankfort in 1830 , sons of
the Rothschild family wore never to
narry outside tno narrow circle of
consanguinity. Leopold , son of Lionel ,
was the firnt to depart from this com
pact , but ho married as much nionoy
is ho possessed , the Perugias being to
Trieste and the east what the lloths-
childs are to western Europe. Mar
riages in the Rothschild family
are stately in ceremonial and the
subject ot as much talk as royal
matches. Intermarriage with very near
relatives is n recognized Hebrew cus
tom , and oven before the compact of
Frankfort was an almost invariable
[ iractico among tluao millionnairo
kinsmen. Ansolim , the first head of
tlio Frankfort house , married hia
licce , the eldest daughter of Nathan ;
James , the head of the Paris house ,
narried hia brother Solomon's daugh-
; er. Nathan , however , married out
side the family , but ho married moro
nillions than ho had then made. His
astonishing success in London excited
.ho fear and astonishment of a
compatriot , Levi Cohen , one
of the then potentates of the
exchange. Cohen suggested
a union of the families , but niter the
narriago became alarmed nt the ap
parently desperate venture of his son-
n-law. He protested with the arch-
speculator , but received for his pains
Jio characteristic vaunt : "You have
jivon mo but ono of your daughters ;
t would have been a good stroke of
Business to have given mo them all ,
for they would have died a great deal
richer than they will ever be. " Ho
was u miser to the last , and with all
lis millions , lived like a successful re
tail grocer.

A LIBERAL OFFER.
For the post two years the publish
ers of this paper have given to the
subscribers of THE WEEKLY BEE the
best line of premiums as inducements
to subscription which have ever boon
offered by any nowspapcr in the coun
try. The plan has proved a success.
It has given universal satisfaction to
the patrons of the paper , and has in
creased the subscription list to n de
gree far above the expectations of its
publishers.
Many patrons of THE DAILY BEE
have asked why wo do not offer them
the same inducements hold out to sub
scribers of THE WEEKLY BEE. In response -
sponso to the inquiry wo make the
following offer : Each subscriber to
THE DAILY BEE who pays his arrears
of subscription and remits prepayment
ment for six months and every now
subscriber who remits pro-payment
for six months will bo entitled to ono
of the premiums mentioned in our
list. These premiums will bo dis
tributed in the
same impartial manner
nor which marked our first and secont
distributions.
This scheme was first devised to
collect subscriptions in arrears from
patrons of THE WEEKLY BEE. Its suc
cess exceeded our expectations. Wo
have now no back collections on our
weekly edition , have established the
prepayment system , quadrupled our
circulation and
correspondingly en
hanced the value of our advertising
space. A number of subscribers to
THE DAILY BEE are now in arrears ,
and if by extension
an of the name
plan wo can induce them to pay the
amount duo us , wo can well afford to
make this liberal offer. By this
means wo hope to still further increase
the large list of THE DAILY BEE , oik
having established the propaymeni
system wo propose to maintain it
as wo are doing with our Weekly odi
tion.
tion.To
To these who are not familiar will
our plan of distribution or the manner
in which the premiums are secured by
us , wo append the explanation made
to our weekly subscribers , which ap
plies equally to the subscribers o
THE DAILY BEE.
Two years ngo the publishers of TJIK
BEE devised a scheme for collecting
back pay from delinquent subscribers
securing renewals and extending the
circulation of this paper by a distri
bution of valuable premiums. The
success of that experiment , both ii
the collection of back pay and increase
of prepaid subscribers waa so oncour
ging that the publishers ventured
ipon the same system of premium div
ributioiiR on a more extensive scale
ast year. It was demonstrated that
wo could better afford to distribute the
nonoy usually paid to ngants , local
olloctors nnd attorneys , directly to
urpatrons by olforinif them extra-
rdinary inducements to square nc-
omits nnd prepay for another year.
5y this method wo have succeeded in
wo years in mmdrtipling the circtila-
ion of THE \ \ KKKIABKK and extend-
ng its influence far beyond the
loundnrios of this state.
During the first year only a portion
{ the articles distributed wore pro-
ured in exchange for advertising ,
Vheii the marked increase in circula-
ion became known to merchants and
nanufncturera last year they willingly
ilaccd their machinery and mcrchan-
liso nt our disposal in paying for ml-
crtising. Thnt enabled us to do
vhat seemed incredible namely , fur-
lish n metropolitan weekly for two
lollnrs a year nnd ivo oursubscJibors
) remiums that aggregated in value
! UO,000. And yet it was a paying in-
estment for us , and gave general
atisfnction to our patrons.
Whnt grow out ol a desire to collect
> ack pay has developed into n now
and practical idea. Wo have discov
ered that wo can afford to make bur
subscribers sharers in the income of
, ho paper from advertising. In ether
words wo can nfford to divulo the nd-
k'orlising patronage of the paper with
its subscribers , inasmuch as the income
Tom advertising grows with the in
creased circulation. Advertising space
in THE BEE that was worth ono hun
dred dollars five years ngo will com-
nadd ono thousand dollars to-day
This fall moro goods nnd machinery
iavo boon offered us in exchange for
advertising than wo could accept in
view of the limited space wo devote
'or that purpose. What wo have con-
racted for makes the grandest and
most varied list that has ever boon
flered for distribution by any nows-
> apor , and that too without paying a
dollar in money. The only outlay in
nsh wo expect to incur in connection
vith these premiums will bo for post-
igo and cxpressago. This explains
iwactly how wo procure our premiums
vnd why wo can give nwny property of
o much valuo.
All the premiums in our list nro
vorthnt retail just what wo represent
hem. In contracting with nmnufae-
urers and wholesale dealers wo accept
hem only at wholesale rates , but
hat docs not lesson their vnluo to
hose who receive them.
THE BEE has for years stood in the
rent rank of newspapers west of the
Mississippi , and to-day circulates
nore extensively than nny paper west
jf Chicago nnd north of St. Louis. A
argo number of eastern people who
lesiro to procure a far western paper ,
vith a viuw of acquiring reliable in-
ormation about the resources and do-
'elopmont of the country west of the
Missouri will doubtless avail thom-
, elves of the opportunity now offered
hem. Having for moro than ton years
> eon under ono management pursuing
a course that has established for it pub
ic confidence at homo and a wide
reputation abroad , THE BEE could not
afford to engage in any undertaking
that was not conducted fairly and hon
estly. The distribution in 1880 and
1881 gave general satisfaction to our
subscribers. The coming distribution
will bo made in the same impartial
manner , by a committee whom the
subscribers present may select from
their own number , and in nuch man
ner as they think fair and equitable.
Last year all the premiums gave good
satisfaction , excepting some engrav
ings which were not appreciated. This
year no engravings , maps or pictures
have been placed among the prem
iums.
Our old patrons need no assurance
from us of the reliability and stability
of THE BEE , nor do we need to inform
them that the principles it advocates ,
md the fearless defense it make in
bohaU of the producers , makes it al
most indisponsiblo to the industrial
classes of the great west.
No intelligent person would expect
that every subscriber will receive n
$050 threshing machine , a $500 pi
ano , a § 300 harvester , or a S150 or
gan , but all have an equal chance in
the distribution.
Each subscriber that pays up his ar
rears and repays another year , and
every now subscriber that remits prepayment
payment for ono year , will receive
premium worth at least Ono Dollar at
retail. As a matter of fact , THE
OMAHA WEEKLY BEE is worth the
subscription price , Two Dollars
year , to every faamer ; mechanic or
merchant. Without boasting , wo as
sort that no weekly paper , east or
west , can compare with it in variety
and choice selections , general news ,
interesting correspondence , and no
ether paper in America contains as
much far western news , ranging from
the Pacific coast to the Mississippi
rivor. With the proof of good faith
and honest dealing before them in the
numerous acknowledgments wo pub
lish , wo can safely enter upon our enlarged -
larged undertaking of this year , con
fidently believing that its success wil
bo mutually satisfactory and advan
tageous. E. UOHBWATEU ,

OUR BEST PREMIUMS ,
The following ian description ot the

made in America , and for tone nnd
tune their Pianos nro second to none.
Possessing fine wnter power anil n , fac
tory built with special reference to the
manufacture of the best instrument nt
Iho least possible cost , this company
have advantages enjoyed by no eastern
factory. They have near nt band in
largo quantities the finest timber in
the world , nnd have nn opportunity to
make the first selection , nnd save
the high freights which must bo paid
by eastern manufacturers , nnd consequently
quently can furnish n better piano for
tno money than nny other makers.
The College of Music at Cincinnati ,
ono of tlio largest institutions of the
kind in this cpuntiy , after trying the
pianos of nil the best makes discarded
all others nm are using only the
CIIASK , nnd decided thnt it possessed
all the qualities necessary to with
stand the hardships of a genuine mus
ical warfare. Tins speaks volumes in
favor of these excellent instruments ,
the product of western enterprise nnd
skill. All disinterested experts ad
mit that these pianos nro made better
than these from nny other factory nnd
thnt they are the most Rorvicnblo.
The pinno we oiler is their
style seven nnd for elegance of
appearance , beauty of tone nnd
solidity of structure cannot bo ex
celled. Parties who nro not familiar
with this make of pianos would do
well to write to the factory for nn il
lustrated catalogue.
The ether piano on our list is the
same style nnd quality as the ono wo
gave last yonr , and will bo aoprociated
by the -party fortunate enough to receive -
ceivo it.

separator , This mill works with n cer
tainty and rapidity not attained by any
