A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-Romances
are not always born in the brain of the
novelist; there are romances in real life
as full of interest and enchantment.
They occur in u very midst day after
day, but in the whirl and hustle Of busy
life pass by UNDECIDED. We were made
acquainted, yesterday, with the details
of a domestic romance, and give them
as they came to US:
"During the early part Of the present
week, o young married couple, more
blessed with honesty and industry than
with worldly wealth, left Chicago to
seek employment and fortune in the far
West. On arriving in this city, their
small capital was stolen from them by
some graceless scamp, and they were
compelled to obtain employment at
once. The wife obtained q situation as
dining-room servant at the Pacific House
and the husband as porter Mt one Of our
Wholesale establishments.
On Wednesday last an elderly gentle
man arrived here from Montana and took
quarters at the Pacific. At dinner he
was waited on by the young wife, and
recognized in her a daughter from whom
he had been separated for many years,
without knowledge even of her exist
ence. The greeting between parent and
child was very affecting, and caused
considerable excitement in the dining
hall. The best part of the story is that
the father, who had started to Montana
in Strengthened circumstances, returned
with n most comfortable fortune. He
started east last night with his daughter
and son-in-law, promising them that
they should fully share in his good for
tune.-S.. Joseph Herald, Oct. &c.

CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-We have
before US o copy Of a petition to the
Legislature, the object Of which is thus
stated:
"The undersigned citizens Of Placer,
Ell Dorado and Nevada counties, living
contiguous to, and being almost wholly
dependent upon the Central Pacific Rail-
road of California for freighting and
travel, would most respectfully repre-
sent to your honorable bodies that the
rates Of freight and passage on said
railroad are most exorbitant, oppres-
sive and out of oil due proportion to the
services rendered and expense incurred
by the railroad company.-Sae. Union
Of yesterday.
The people interested in the above
petition had better memorabilia Con-
gress on the subject. Under the Pacific
Railroad law that body can restrict the
tariff for fare and freight carriage.
Congress is the only legal power that
can regulate the matter complained Of.
Let the petition be sent to Senator Cole.
The petition to the California Legisla-
ture will not amount to much. 1t will
perhaps be referred to the Committee on
Federal Relations, where it will either
die, or end in a weak memorial for re-
dress. Send your papers, as positive
and peremptory Us you can, to Congress.

About. ,Womsn.A woman's Opinion on
DIR. Aliens Address on the Population
Question-Sharp Reply.

Question-Sharp Rsply.
tFrom the New York ExpresaJ
1t may be thought by some not to be
a woman's sphere to advert to or ann
tate upon your extracts from DR.. Aliens
address and your comments thereon.
But as / shall not be personally known,
I shall not suffer If called wanting in
delicacy. I know it is usually thought
that our sex must be very observant of
the Scripture rule of shifting on the
cheek-but / do not believe in it. A
nice time you, DR.. Allen, and the rest
Of you men have of It, when you have
your own way, and nobody to answer
you! We women are all to blame, are
WEI
Well, l am the mother of eight chill
dren, all stalwart boys, and I think
have o right to speak. DR.. Allen thinks
the small number of population, com.
pared with what it should be, is all
owing to the women, does he? They
are wanting in propensitfes; too studi-
Gus; dress badly eat too much fine
flour, get costive, etc. Now, I wish to
know how it is with the men on these
points2 Don't they a too much fine
flour? don't they have too little exercise?
don't they have more headaches than
the men used to have? don't they study
too much, and get up too Ouch nervous
excitement don't they kfet costive?
don't they cultivate their Mains too cx-
clusively2 And as to thb prudential
considerations, are not the men those,
of all others, the most in Nat line? Is
there not, all through Yahkeedom, at
this moment, two femalesyto one male
ready and anxious to contract matri-
monial alliances, with all their little
responsibilities? And if the men do
not abort, rs women do, do they not
abort in a worse sense2 Witness oil
these houses Of prostitution. Oh you
men are n precious set of knaves to cry
stop, theft" to the women-are You
not?
Now, I wish to ask this same DR..
Allen how much he has done for his
country? I'll bet-speaking after the
manner of you men-l'N bet q cookie
that he is not the father of eight noble
boys, nor of quarter of the number.
What does he, then, know Of the subject
he is talking about? "By your fruits
shall 20 know them" I'll warrant you,
gentlemen, that if you examine the facts
you will find the fault more or the mems
side than on the women's. First, that
they cannot become the fathers Of n
large race Of vigorous people, give them
what wives you choose; or else, second,
they are too lazy or incompetent to sup
port any but the smallest families.
Talk about having the women better
brought up! Let the men 60 to work
on the canal and not loaf round the cor
ners of the streets all day, betting on
agricultural horse trots, and then they
will como home with good appetitcs,
eat their food with thankfulncss, and
become tho stalwart men who alone are
fitted to be husbands that are husbands.
These arc my sentiments.
A WOMAN.

FROM CHEYEysE.-The following items
are from the Cheyenne Leader Of the 18th
instant:
Colonel Heinc, Monsieur Simonin and
Mr.. Hines, correspondent of tic Chicago
Times, left yesterday DOE for Fort Lar
annie, to attend the peace council with
the Indians at that point.
The weather here is like Spring, so
mild aud balmy that the very feeling of
the pleasure of existence becomes prom
inent among the physical sensations.
Over thirteen hundred letters were re-
ceived at the postofice in this city this
morning.
Parties were out above town yester-
day surveying n line for a ditch to con-
vey the waters Of Grow creek, above
town, thus making it seryiceable for
general use.
D. Mclaughlin, recently editor.iu-
chief Of that spicy paper the Salt Lake
Vedette, arrived in town and gave us q
passing call, yesterday. We are happy
to that he will identify HIM
self with Cheyenne interests, and be-
come a resident of this place.

Ii THE FUTURE. - Governor elect
Haight was at the formal opening of the
San Francisco Chamber Of Commerce,
the other night, and responded to the
toast, The Future of California" In
so doing he said
"Look forward twenty years, with
our continental railway and the trib-
utary roads now in progress. Picture
California rs she will be then-with a
population of between 1000, 900 and 81
600, 0O0-with a city on this spot OF
500, 900, and one of l00, 1000 on the OPP
posite shore, embracing Oakland and
Alameda. How long do you suppose it
will be before California has as many
people to the square mile as Kentucky, or
Connecticut, or Massachusetts? With
the same population to the square mile
that Kentucky has, we would have over
5, 500, 900 I; with the same ratio that Con-
necticut has, we would number about
10, 200, 900, and with the same ratio as
Massachusetts,, we would have about
%, OOo, 900. The child is living, prob
ably, that will see in California over
20, 900, 900 of population, and San Fran
cisco a city of 1000, OOo."

WARS in a name? Otentimes much.
There is sufficient in the one in our
minds eye to form the nucleus for q line
or so on tho lingual lineaments of the
word Cheyenne. We think the CON-
monty accepted pronunciation, "Shy-
Ann" is neither e%uphonious nor desira-
BILE. Some nice orthographists get it
" Shy-enn," with the accent on the last
syllable, as in the first instance. Now,
we propose for your consideration the
adoption of q uniformity Of prouuncia-
ton, placing the accent upon the first
syllable, and making it "Shy-an."
This, we opine, would make a better
sounding word, as we'll as remind OBJ
servers Of the way we take the "shine''
off all new towns of the West, in the
race for pre-eminent commercial great
ness.-Meyenne Leader.

the erection Of an edifce for o female
boarding school at sierra Leone. The
English Church Missionary Record says.
very truly, that the education of the
females must keep pace with that of the
males, else disastrous consequences will
follow. Africa must be regenerated by
Africans themselves. This truth has
been acknowledged by the friends OF
colonization in Liberia, whose college
and schools are now at work towards
the accomplishment of this great object.
Whatever aid is given to these institu-
tions is so much for the advance of civ
ilization and the entire removal of slav-
cry in Africa.

A Woman nrarriss n woman.

A person was brought before the Po-
lice Court at Syracuse, the other day,
on q charge of wearing male apparel
while being a female, of making love to
the Syracuse bellies cor false preten-
ses and marrying q woman, &c. There
is no doubt of her fcmininity, though
her counterfeit of a nan is said to have
been perfect. She is English, is sup
posed to be about 40 years of age, went
under the name of Alfred Clark, and
received remittances from England, part
of which goes to the support of q sister,
in Syracuse.
In reply to the question, care you a
male or a female2" she answered.
"Your officers can tell you" She re-
fused to give o direct answer to the
question in relation to her sex, and was
committed for further examination.
A few weeks since she assumed the
garb of n man, and made the acquaint-
ance of a young lady named Miss Lewis.
After a brief courtship they were q
ried, and the parties have since resided
together as man and wife.
The marriage ceremony was performed
about three weeks since, and the brides
father suspecting there was something
wrong about his new s%on-in-law, OBJ
tanned n private interview, and informed
her of his suspicion that she was not
what she pretended to be. At first she
claimed that she was o man, but on
closer questioning finally admitted that
she was q female.
She has marked features, prominent
nose, high check-boncs, black hair,
worn long for n man, and curling at tho
end, and apparently brushed and oiled
with care. She wears a glazed cap,
blue shirt, dark vest, snuff-colored pants,
gaiter boots and a shawl over her shoul-
ders, speaks with confidence, but is not
very communicative.
1t is understood that when this eccen-
trio woman first came to the house of
the brides father she was dressed in
female apparel, and the clothing was
changed to mans attire with the knowl-
edge of the family. The probability is
that the family supposed her woman's
dress was q disguise, and that she was
averse to the match, but the bride still
clings to her woman husband, and says
that the arrest is n conspiracy against
them. They were allowed to meet in
one of the ante-rooms of the police office
and embraced each other with the great
est marks of affection.
