A Woman BADLY Addicted :. Marriage.

Last winter wealthy Cuban conceived an
exuaysgant passion for pretty young woman
dancing at leading Broadway thestre, wrote
10 her ana solicited an interview. He poured
his passion out in burning words and offered
to pour out his gold as freely; but she in
formed him as the celebrated English actress
oid her opulent admirer. that the way TO her
favors lay through the church. He sought TO
shake her resolution, but in vain, aud in
despair OF possessing her otherw wise ne II ade
her his wife. He tired OF her IN a few weeks,
and as his relations were violently opposed
TO such an alliance, he soon deserted her and
returned to Havana. Too proud 10 follow
him, she went back TO the stage, and during
the month CT May clerk in a commercial
house down town fell in love with her, and
went through the same experience as the
SPaniard. Hymen before Venus for her aud
so the young fellow, with a degree Of disho-
nor characteristic of an older head and cooler
heart, enuapped her INTO a false marriage
HIS employer accidentally discovered the de-
cepion, became interested IN the pretty dan
sense, and apprised her of the clerks vii
Iany, assuring her he should be compelled to
wed her If she desired il, by process Of law
Esmeralda declined TO have anything more
10 90 with the rogue, ard released him un-
conditiopally. The merchant was SO rauch
struck with the woman's spirit and beauty,
that, although he knew she had twice con.
senfed to marry IN cold blood, be proposed
matrimony to her, ard for the third time she
accepted. Certain legal steps are necessary
before the last nuptiais can be consummated;
but the commercial lover is desperately en-
noieu VI nei, anu mas alleauy paced ner IN
handsome mansion, and made her q deed of
the property, with Sl0,Oo0 for pin money. HIS
friends are indignant, and aver that he is in
fatuafed. But he swears he loves her, and
Will marry her as soon as practicable. She
says she is deeply attached to him, and is now
lpadinga a very quiet and exemplary life Her
.fonce is nearly forty, and has long been sought
rs husband in modish circles TO no puI pose,
but no doubt he will wed Esmei aida this
winter, and snap his fingers at comment and
criticism. She will join Grace church; be
pass ed upon BY Brown; ride TO morning SER

ten times more If she was born to II all than

fred two or three shots at it. One of the

This route would also obviate the present
necessity of the improvement of the Mississ-
lppi rapids, as by canal from the Marais d.
Ogee to Hennspin. and thence TO the mouth
of the Illinois river, it is twenty miles nearer
than it is from the Same point to st. Louis by
the Mississippi; and the state of Illinois, if
the canal were built by the state, would re-
ceive the benefit OF the tolls. Judging from
the progress made in improving the Ohio at
Louisville, 10 will be many years before the
DssMeines and Rock Island rapids are i'm
proved.
Nor is this the only line that seems to in
vite the Immediate connection with the Illi
nois. About a mile above Fulton there is an
other bayou, similar to the Msrais d'Ogee,
but much larger, called Cat tail Slough. This
bayou extends in q southeast direction, and
strikes the Rock river about fifteen miles be-
low Sterling, and, as in tho Marsis dOgee,
at high water the Mississippi here flows into
the Rock. and when the latter is high. and
the former low, the converse occurs. From
Sterling 10 the orossing of che Rook Island
railroad, near Colons, the fall is 67-100
feet per nile. 1t is not impossible that future
surveys viii show that q canal may be built
from Fulton to Devils Slough. which shall
draw the largest portion of its supply of wa
ter from the Mississipph through Cat tail
Slough, and save one half the distance and
expense of connecting the Mississippi and the
Illinois.
The evening Argus., 1867-01-15

OF the Green, saving the acqueduct across
that stresm Of 200 feet span and 20 feet In
HEIGHT. As the Mariss d'Oges and the Rock
connect, the canal could be locked into the
Rock at thst point, thus saving the acque-
duct Of ], 200 feet span, or the expensive dam
On The Rock near Colopa. There would also
Be ! saving of some six miles in the length
Of ths Rock river feeder, 40 il would enter
the oansl on the north side Of the Green. The
heavy outing from the Rock river to the Mis-
sisslppi, through the ridge along Pleasant
Valley, would also be avoided. The saving
also in water from the Rock river would be
immense, IL miles of the canal tslng fed
from the Mississippi, and the evaporation of
six miles of feeder being obviated. This be-
comes an item of importance to the interests
of Rock River Valley, when we consider that
it will require 100, 900 cubic feet an hour to
feed the main hue from Devils Slough to the
Illinois and Mississippi. There would be q
saving also of five looks, as the Marais dOgee
enters the Mississippi above the rapids, and
the average fall from Fulton to Rock leland
is LILO feet per mile. . Ts
The saving in expense by this route over
the proposed line to Rock Island would be ss
