deceived in telegraphing dispatch to the effect
that the President had addressed a letter, to the

Congress, and if he has not the power to recog-
nlze the Southern representatives and the admin
strauon representatives of the North as the legiti
mate Congress, etc.
The excitement which was occasioned by this

A RoMANcE- Truth Stranger than Fiction
1t occasionally happens that an event occurs in
real life as romantic as if produced by the concep-
lon OF "a writer Of fiction. One Of these is trans.
"pTing now IN this city. Eighteen years ago. in
The city of london, when the parties were both
young, a gentleman addressed a LADY, For some
reason his suit was rejected and ii short time
the lady married another gentleman. They emil
grated TO Ameriea5 and settled in this city few
years since the husband died and left his wife a
widow. Since that event she has been engaged
IN the pursuit of an honest vocation by which She
has supported herself and won the respect Of a
large circle of friends and acquaintances. After
her marriage the gentleman who first addressed
her also married. He remained in London. Some
twelve months since his wife died and he became
a widower. ,1
1t appears that he had not forgotten his first
love, and letter with foreign postmark directed
to Mrs. --, if living, reached this postofffce.
1t was advertised, and was received by ythe lady
to Whomit was addressed. Its purport was to
ascertain first, whether she still living, and it
so, what her condition was; whether still married
or widow She replied, informing the gentle
man that she was still alive and widow. In a
short time she received another letter, renewing
the rejected suit of eighteen years ago, and in
closing photograph of the writer in order that
she might see the changes which time had wrought
IN him. She, evidently satisfied with bis personal
appearance, and not forgetting his eighteen years
of constancy, returned a favorable answer.
The gentleman mme ediately embarked for Amer
lea, and onfeaehing New York went to the West
to attend to some business in that quarter AT
Chicago he was taken sick; not ILL., but too sick to
travel. The lady was notified of his arrival and

SOUTHERN CLOTHING EsTABLIsHMENT.-Th vel
known clothiers, Messrs. L. W. Lyons & Co., who

their numbers being 2G, 28 and 80 ST. Charles, and
l3l and 1873 Common, advertise to-day the receipt
of their large and fashionable stock of CLOTHING
and furnishing goods for the present season. In
the wholesale department, which is on the upper
floor of their store, may be found clothing of every
variety, quality and description, furnishing goods
trunks Valises, boys and plantation clothing, aud
everything which goes to make up an assorted
stock. In the main store on the street the same
may also be found, where they are retailed to all
customers at the moderate prices for which Lyons
has made reputation. But that no one may com
plain of not being suited, there is, in connection
with the same establishment, a amanufactory where
gentlemen can leave their measures and have their.
suits made, the house keeping on hand a large
assortment of French, English, Scotch, German
and American piece goods, and fit guaranteed.
large stock of boys clothing is also comprised
in the list, to which the attention of parents and
guardians is called. In short, either the buyer by

THE WINNING JOCKEY EMBRACED BY THE FAIR

| baden, Sept, I've have to record a great day

at Baden on the 7th inst, when in the concIudin.
nall mile of the grand steeple-cnase It was seei
that the German horse Efenburg, the last year,
winner, was beaten, and that the French mare
kegalia, ridden by Viscount A. Talon a member
OF the Jockey Club, was oyerhauling him in every
strlde. Frantic were the cries of " Talon Talon ii

When Regalia headed the favorite and came in an
easy winner, the demonstration took another
form. A rush was made at horse and rider on en-
teFing the nclosure, and the splendid toilettes of
fair ladies were stained by contact with Regaliais
reeking sides, while NJ. Talon was almost pulled
from his horse.
Isabel, the well known bouquetiere of the
French Jockey Club, was the first TO receive him
IN her arms as he alghted, and how many times
he was embraced before he got to the scales it is
impossible to say. 1t was a curious scene to those
accustomed to the more sober reio1cings of an
English race course; but the enthusiasm was some
what infectious, too and the triumph of our GAL
liant allies on this mimic field won q hearty English
cheer from our countrymen present. The winner
was admirably ridden throughout and when we
saw NJ. Talon bring her down the steep embank-
ment in the style he did, and also saw the ominous
whlskng of Etfenberg's tail, the result was easily
anticipated. Cartolvin did not seem to like the

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN MINING CLAIM.
AN explosion of gas took place in the claim
. of Squiers & Co., near the Junction on Tues
day last. severely injuring the men who were
at work at the time. and considerably dam
aging the building connected with the shaft.
We are indebted to Mr.. Martin. of Chill
Gulch, for the following particulars: A
shaft l60 feet in depth has been sunk on the
claim, and tunnel $50 feet in length run
from the bottom of it. On Tuesday the work
men broke through into drift which was
run number of years ago. the mouth OF
which had caved down so as to be air tight.
Desiring to examine the old digsings. one of
the men held his candle to the oriice between
the drifts. when the gas or foul air which
had been so lcng confined exploded with such
force as to knock the men senseless, burning
their woolen shirts to crisp, ana actually

though it was 4lO feet distant The men
were terribly burned and otherwise injured.

Coon YIELD.-We were shown this week
by Mr.. Matthews, the gold. forty-two dollars,
obtained from two tons of rock taken from
his quartz lead in Wet Gulch. A shaft has
been sunk to the depth of ninety feet on the
claim, and the ledge is one solid mass of gold
bearing quartz, six feet wide. from the top
to the bottom. The walls which enclose the
lead are well defined and unbroken through
out the entire distance. The rock crushed
was unassorted, and was hauled to Harris
mill at Sandy Gulch, and put through the
ordinary working process. the amount OBJ
tanned, S22 per ton. being the free gold only.
Mr.. Harris informed the owners Of the mine
that the sulphurets would pay $500 per ton
One ton of sulphurets can be obtained from
twenty tons of rock. This is certainly as
good prospect as any one can desire, and
when the size of the lead and and the depth
to which it has been prospected are taken
into consideration, no better showing can be
made by any other company in the State
We understand that the company intend to
erect large mill on the lead as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be made.

doned or sold it for mere nothing. The pres

feeling confident that the mine only needed
to be developed to prove its immense value,
went to work with the determination of
thoroughly prospecting it. They have run
a tunnel some six or seven hundred feet in

the entire distance prospects handsomely.
