The Last Romance.

Quite a romance in real life, says the De
troit Advertiser, was brought to happy ter
m;nation in that city on the 9th inst. Sew
enteen years ago, New York lass, lovely
and sweet sixteen, became enamored of n
medical student, and the pair exchanged
VOWS oflove and eternal fidelity. Two years
later the unhedged Esculapius left for Europe
70 complete his education the aforesaid vows
being previously tenderly renewed. After a
brief and gay sojourn at Paris, the loving
student domiciled himself in one of the most
renowned colleges of Madrid, and applied
himself to sober study. His letters to the
fair damsel he loved were frequent, but 10
fond remembrances came in reply. His epis-
ties were intercepted, and never reached the
fair one, while her words of love, intended
for his delectation, met with the same misfor-
tune The poor student, thwarted in his
love, threw up his studies and for two long
years coursed through Europe, seeking to
whelm his disappointment in the gaieties and
pleasures of the different capitals. In the
meantime, the young lady. who was equally
unhappy, removed to Detroit with her moth
er. At the end of his two years pilgrimage.
the student returned to America, but the
idol of his heart had left the scene of her be-
trothal, and, almost broken hearted, he
turned his steps to Cuba; but the spirit ot
unrest pursued him, and Texas and Mexico
beheld him still rover, seeking to drown
memory by excitement A few months since,
by one of those singular occurrences which
sometimes flash across the pathway of life,
he heard the lady was in Michigan, and
quickly wended his way thither After
few weeks of digent Search the anxious
lover found his ducinea at Ypsilanti. and the
meeting which ensued-the twain having
been separated fifteen years-is described as
affecting in the extreme" The tribulations
Of the now mature lovers were over, and on
the 9th inst, they proceeded to Detroit, aud
we're United in the holy bonds of wedlock
Who says this is prosaic age?

THRILLING INcfDENT.-The S. +. Times
gives the following account of a startling
accident which occurred in recent murder
trial in San Francisco
The jury in the Billman murder case in
Judge Norton's Court, rendered verdict last
evening of murder in the second DEGREE
against the negro Moses Tate, with recon
mendation to show no mercy. The sentence
cannot be less than fifteen years and its ex-
treme limit, in severity, for life in the State
prison, A thrilling, though in itself insight
ticant incident occurred during the trial. The
Court room was densely crowded, and Dis
trict Attorny Brown was replying 10 the
speech of Mr.. Tingley in behalf Of the pris-
oner Mr.. Tingley had hinged his remarks
very lngeniously upon the circumstance of
Takes having taken away the iron pot, which
our readers will remember about. This was
supposed to be strong evidence against Tate,
aud his advocate had said that the affair of
the pot signifed nothing. Mr.. Brown, in
the course of his remarks, alluded to this pot,
which stood in open court, with the semi
circular handle raised in a perpendicular
position A deathlike stiffness reigned through
the Court room, and the District Attorney
repeated with great distinctness, several
times What does that pot mean nothing ?
and lie pointed earnestly at the article, so
that the eyes of spectators and jurors were
alike rivitted upon it. "What?' he again
repeated, does that pot mean nothingY "a
moment of perfect sleuce) At this instant
the handle fell over upon the rim of the pot
with loud and distinct clinck, us if in mute
reply TO the terrible question. The effect
upon the jurors and audience was like an
electric shock, and made every man in the
Court give an involuntary start There was
a prolonged silence and the argument was
continued But there was those in that as
semblage superstitious enough to believe this
simple incident had something to do with the
dreadful murder, the memory of which still
horriiies all who witnessed the speechless
dying man, and who reflect upon the terri
ble mystery in which it has since been envel-
oped.

Mining Population of British Columbia.

During the months of January and Febru.
ary, goods were shipped to British Columbia
from this port amounting to upwards $780,
600. This is according to Custom House
valuation, which is certainly an estimate pla-
ced on the lowest possible figures. 1t does
not of course include goods reaching the mi
ming region by overland routes via Washing
ton aud Oregon and also excepts smuggled
wares, which according to rumor have not
been inconsiderable in amount The bulk Of
the goods, it should be borne in mind. were
ordered and transported in season of gene
raj dullness, consequent on the interruption
of mining operations by the weather; ard
were therefore undoubtedly designed for i'm
mediate consumption; for no trader would
lay in a stock in advance in such season and
under such circumstances.
Taking these shipments as a basis, it may
reasonably be concluded that there is a pop
ulatiOn of at least 1000 in British Columbia
who have been engaged III nlining, or await
ing favorable weather for resuming such op-
erations. Independent of accessions hence,
this population will be largely increased du-
ring the present month by migration from
Oregon and Washington Territories. 1t will
be safe to say, therefore, that the first of
May will find in tie gold fields of British Co.
Iumbia a population of $500. And these
taen are. in the main, individuals who have
tested the Frazer river region-who evince
their firth IN its productiveness either hv re
mnining or returning there We commend
these facts to the croakers in California who
still pretend to consider Fraser a humbug. "

A PIrrruL CAsE-The 5. F. Telegram Of

PIrTFUL CAsE.-The 5. F. Telegram, of
Thursday, records the following melancholy
case
This morning Henry Stewart, oliaz Gore,
came into the Police Court for sentence. Ac
cording to permission, which was granted
yesterday, Stewart made a statement, which
he said he had written out and would read,
lest the embarrassment arising from his de
graded position should choke his utterance
and confuse his speech. The document was
of considerable length, and its style of diction
gave evidence that the unfortunate man had
received the advantages of II liberal educalion
He detailed the causes which led to his un.
fortunate position as convicted thief; that
from sickness, long protracted. and consequent
destitution, he committed the first larceny,
and that his urgent necessities and continued
wants, led him on to his subsequent criminal
acts His statement was listened to with
much attention by the crowded court room.
and elected from many, signs of deep sym.
pathy. Altogether, it was most appropriate
and feeling appeal to the Court, and was an
admonition worthy of the consideration of all
young and reckless men who may be expo
.sed to tempt tions. After the reading of the
statement, Judge Coon proceeded to pass sen.
tence on each case; the total amount of i'm.
prisonment awarded is l2 months. Stewart
wore the same old grey blanket about his
shoulders, and as the cases were being sepa.
rately called, the unfortunate man buried his
face beneath its folds, while tears streamed
from his eyes.

DEATH OF HALLAM, THE HIsToRIAN Tho
English papers announce the death of Henry
Hallam the historian, on the 22d of January,
at the great age of 81 years The Times
says of him.
Among historians we doubt whether there
is to he found one equal to Mr.. Hallam in
impartiality. There have been historians as
erudite as he, not less acute more inspiring
as thinkers, more elegant as writer's but for
stern justice he is probably without rival,
Ills unfiinching integrity, his subiugation OF
personal prejudice. his determination to speak
the truth under all circumstances is one OF
the rarest things in literature. He belonged
TO that school which in history deals with
principles rather than with persons, and in
criticism deals with poems rather than with
poets, with hooks rather than with authors
The tendency of our literature of late wears
has been in direction entirely opposite. and
would seem to represent principles as snbor.
dinate to the parsonage by whom thew are
illustrated, books as but secondary TO the
authors from whose pens they have flowed-
tendency, in fact, which would render hi.
ography the base of history the base of crit
icism, the base even of philosophy.
