Tnz CoURsE OF TRUg gLovE.-Romance il
not altogether thing Of the past, and true
love still fourishes like green bsy tree.
In frontier town famed by Minnesota
gentle breezes Henry Paacbs and Carrie
Webster lived and learned TO love. Both
we're poor, and after exchanging VOWS oi
undying constancy, Henry departed to
win by honest labor home in which 20
install her as his wife. He came 10 Daven
port, procured employment, and animated
by the hope he had in view was industrious
and saving. Time passed, and Carrie. in
her Minnesota home, wrote often but rs>
ceived no letters in return. When sus.
peuse became uncomfortable, she started in
search Of her bssrothed. gaining her liveli
hood from place to. place by cutting and eel.
ing stencil plates. On Saturday she ar
rived in Davenport, and euauired Of q man
who stood in the door Of saloon, for .
cheap boarding house. Little thinking. or
reckless OF the consequences, the man di-
rected her TO house kept By Mrs. Meyer
"A house Of unenviable notoriety. Sallyiny
forth to procure orders for stencil work.
towards evening she met her betro,hed
Both were overjoycd. end learning her ad
dress Henry promised to come and see hes
after bis work was done. A, nine O'Clock
ne came, and entering her room remained d
with her sometime, telling Of his noble STR
wigs and success, and learning how she
had vainly written to hin, letters which he
had not received. just then there sweet
converse was interrupted by . policeman
who had been watching the house. and
who took all the inmates to Jail. On Mons
day morning the lovers, on a charge of be,
ing inmates ofa house Of ill~fams. were
fined by the Police Magistrate. Henry dis
bursed his greenbacks, bu: resolving not to
be caught in that manner again procured .
license, and towards evening Magistrate
Dittoe performed the pleasing ceremony
that made the twain one flesh.
Peoria RAILRoAD.-Concern this eu>
terprise the Rock Island Argss says that
the people Of that place "ars putting in
lots Of good talk, but no money until they
see the thing in motion. The people on the
line, and in Psoris, seem now to be in
earnest. Rock Island has already built l2
miles Of the road. which has been running
for years. We think that is her full share.
If Davenport, and the people on the line,
through Henry, Stark and Peoria, and In
the city of Peoria, will do ss much % Rock
Island has already done. the road can be
built st once. And when the people Of Rock
Island see tho dirt flying on the line, and .
prospect Of the iron and rolling stock being
furnished, We presume some Of them, who
have money to invest, will aid in compls>
ting tbs work"
