ROMANTIC AND MOURNFCL TRAGEDY

Some eighteen months ago young and beautiful
German gill, Elizabeth Weiles, residing in this city
became acquainted with native OF her own country,
named Carl Hoffman; and her acquaintance soon
ripened into an ardent aud absoving love, which on
his part was fully reciprocsted. Both young, hope
full, romantic and passionate, they sketched their
future in the realms Of the ideal that lovers ana poets
only see; and in their own sweet sympathles the
world and destiny crcled and controlled. Weeks
flashed by like bliss-bound hours, and their high
beating hearts, distrusting their great hsppi-
resss, unbound by closer tie mse love can
sphere paradise by walking through the world In
Hymens train. Their day Of marriage would be that
on which the bud OF happiness would burst to iuness
aud perfume all after years SO thought this loving
pair, so hoped and so believed They were doomed,
as romance ever is TO bitter disappointment Elza-
behs parents refused to sanction her union with the
one che had selected for her spirits arbitrator and
bosom's lord. Shocked at this fearful waking from
their glorious dream, she sickened, and he fled the
land that had beheld his peace forever wrecked
Months passed with leaden hardness TO her; but vg-
oIous nature reassumed its sway, and she once
more walked In the sun, but saw no nght anu
felt no warmth. The world was dark when
Carl was gone che felt che could not long survive the
ruin of her hopes. Time seemed to yield her some
thing like consolation; but her eye was dark with
inward pain, and not rose would bloom AMID the
lilies Of her cheek. Her parents finally prevailed
upon their sorTowiDg daughter to wed, and she In
blind obedience gave her hand, when all her heart
was far across the Her union, of course, was an
unhappy one. her nature cOulu Dear W iuttncI en'
zion; and she determined TO execute what she had
premedtated from the hour her lover had been lost to
her.
She purchased poison, and like another Juliet,
sted her pc nfu pulses with the fatal draught She
sleeps not with the Capulets, but like their dotng
daughter, she has ceased TO mourn a Romeo and a
Romeo Is loss. Coroner Noble held inquest at her
late residence Fourteenth street. between Pleasant
and Race streets, over the body Of the unfortunate
woman night before last, and returned verdict Of

CALIFORNIA.

The name California is found id
the history of the conquest of Mexico
by Bernal Diaz, a companion of Cortes.
But there it is only applied to bay
By and by it was given to the whole
country north of that bay. Its origin is
uncertain. Some learned men started
the opinion that it was derived from the
Latin "ca1ida Fornar," "a hot oven,)
and that it was given to the ocky pen
insula because the first dlscoverers sui
fered there much from the heat. Some
other derivations of the name California
from the Latin may be found in Clavig-
eros history of Mexico, in paragraph
first Clavigero makes the remark that
Cortes was very fond of such Latin
r1s Probably it is a misunderstood
or corrupted Indian name. Because it
was for long time supposed that it was
large island, and that many small ISL
ands belonged to it, some called the
country "Las Calyornias, (the Cali
fornias.) One hundred and thirty years
after Cortes. after the middle of the
seventeenth century, some geographers
calledlthose supposed California islands
"Islas Caro1inas," (King Charles Isl
ands, in honor of Charles II, king of
Spain, who intended to conquer the
whole.
What we now call upper Califor-
mia +" was called by the geographers of
the sixteenth century "Quivira, from a
supposed rich kingdom of this name
The northern part of this same Upper
California and of our Oregon Territory
was called (157s) by Sir Francis Drake
Nova Albion" and this name was pref
ty generally adopted by the European
geographers, except the Spanish. 1t
was extended, by and by, over the
whole of Oregon and Upper California.
The name of Upper California" or
"New California" (Cdliformia Nuera)
sprung into existence when the Francis
can missionaries, since l76O, made set
Elements to the north of the old Califor-
MIA Peninsula They called Calitor-
mia Nuera," the whole Pacific slope as
far north as it became known to them.
Since 1901, since the so-called Flori-
da treaty, the northern boundaries Of
New California were fixed at the forty
second degree of latitude, and then soon
the more northern part began to be
called the Oregon Country"
Since the conquest and cession of the
province to the United States, since
lS47, the southern boundaries were fix.

ruins Of the Big Thicket, says the Gal
weston Cirilian, have been almost equa
led in reality, by late discovery il
Angelina county. On the 23d of Sep
tember, Mr.. III. d. r. Smith writes, tha
while himself, his brother Josiah III
Smith, and Jacob R. Stanley, were re-
turning from Mr.. Sterrock's mill, within
half mile of the Neches river, theil
dogs, three in number, started pan
ther and chased him down the river
The men followed him on horseback
After going about two miles, the dogs
stopped and bayed very loudly at the
foot of high and rugged bluff of rocks
about two hundred yards from the river
On approaching, the men saw an aper.
ture two or three feet in diameter, lead
ing into cave. Driving away the
dogs they saw the panther, and Mr.
Stanley shot and killed him. They
then entered the cave, which they found
nearly circular in form, and about
twelve feet high, with small aperture
apparently leading to another. But the
light was SO imperfect as to deter them
from entering it until they had first sup
piled themselves with lighted torch.
On passing through the aperture they
found themselves in a room about ten
feet in breadth by eight in hight, and
some forty feet long. To their aston
ishment they beheld at the further ex-
tremity of this room what appeared to
bo fwo human bo1;o, 800 ot.o4oloJ . 4
full length upon its back on the floor,
and the other lying with its head partly
elevated on the wall against which it
leaned. The party approached with
the torch close to them, and awed al
most appalled, by the strange spectacle
complete examination. They
were, indeed, two human forms, entire,
complete, and perfectly petrifed. The
feet and hands were bare. A garment,
which must have resembled hunting
shirt, seemed to have been word by
each, and partly preserved by petrifac-
ton, was distinctly visible, especially at
its seams and folds. On the waist of one
was buckle of pure gold, almost three
inches in diameter. securely embedded
in the body. The features were not
much shrunken; the eyes were partly
closed and even traces of the eyebrows
could be seen plainly. The party who
discovered these bodies intend, in few
days, to remove them to Jonesborough,
where they may be seen by all who
wish to examine them. They express
no conjecture as to the time these re-
mains may have occupied their present
position, how they came there, or even
the race to which they belonged. They
probably lived before the race of Indi-
ans at present found in Texas. Who
ever they may have been their stony
bodies should be preserved as fitting
of generation gone, and the
type of which is rapidly disappearing
from the earth. They once were nu-
