Thursday evening bit of romance oc-
CURED in our city, that, to the parties con-
cerned in 1t, will always be remembered. A
young man made the acquaintance OF young
lady at an evening social last season. We
will give no names, as the position Of the
lady forbids it. The young man We shall
call Smith. Smith, being a guitar player
and possessing good voice, soon won the
affections of his fair acquaintance. They
met they loved, and the postofice did Its
duty, as 1t always does on such occasions.-
Smith proposed. Ask papa was the
puick reply. That was q bombshell In the
camp. Papa had seen the dissipated freaks
of Smith, and be dare not ask for the hand
of the fair one. Papa smelled good sized
rat. uoon taking q note from the postoffce
directed % his daughter Papa had to go to
neighboriug town that evening. Papa was

the family had retired except the daughter.
Footsteps were recognized, and in a FEW
seconds the maiden, with lamp In her
hand, came softly in the parlor Then go.

threw u rope down, tied 1t to the leg OF the

We Ieei paihIuiiy, tne uItcr iuh1ii'
ity Of any attempt, at this late hour,
70 arrest the progress Of the revolu-
ton, by appeals to reason, or an ex-
pose Of the schemes by which consti-
tutional liberty is being annihilated.
Yet we feel it incumbent upon us to
chronicle the means employed to
overthrow the constitution and build
up a despotism in its stead. Last
week We pointed out some of the
means already successfully used
Since that time, the Radical Anacon-
da has Demonstrating its coils around
the President, preparatory to swal-
lowing him whole.
A bill has been introduced, in an
ticipation of his removed, which pro-
vides, virtually, that Wade shall
succeed him; and, fearing defeat at
the ballot box, the Radicals further
provide that there shall be no election
this year, and that Wade shall hold
on for the next Presidential term.
Such defiant usurpation in the face Of
thirty millions Of people, habitual
boosters of their undying love Of
liberty, is almost incredible, but it is
true Notwithstanding But this is not
all; it is further provided that in
case the President is impeached, he
shall be suspended during trial, and
it is made the duty of any civil, nav,
al, or military officer to see that the
suspension is perfected. The plain
english of it, is that the President is
to be removed by force, Wade is to be
President for nearly FIVE years, and
the people are to be forced to submit
through Grant and the army.
| What the President can do to avert
the consummation of the diabolical
scheme, tits more difficult to say than
what he might have done heretofore
One thing, however, is certain, anG
that is that it is too late now to ac,
complish anything for the good o.
the country by argument or appeals
to patriotism. The people are as ap
athletic as if they were living in as
stirred security Of all their constitu
tional rights. What a contrast be
tween now and 1861, when Puritan
hypocrites were hoarse with the or,
for the preservation of the Unior
and the Constitution and pulpit
were sonorous with promises of plum
der, in the shape Of horded plate ane
jewels and dollars, in every dwelling
' in the South. Now that the Uniol
|, and the Constitution have gone 3,
the devil and the plunder to tn
, North, the people of that enlightene,
' and christian section are as tame un
der the yoke of tyranny as they wer
once rampant at the bare idea of a,
infrsetion of the organic law and
severance Of Union not now wort
preserving. The President had lonI
, homilies, all the time, about the du
ties of the people, forgetting tn
while, that he had duty to pcrforr
beyond the warnings he has given O
coming events.

impending Destruction OF Salt Lake
City.
The correspondent Of the Cleveland (O.)
Herald, writing from Salt Lake City, makes
the following remarkable statements In re-
lation to the impending destruction of that
town. He says
The beautiful and picturesque Salt Lake,
with lis hundred mountain inlets, has now
long been In sight, with its ever varied and
changing grand views--with its placid, un-
ruffied bosom. He who beholds, beholds but
to admire. II is about 1875 miles long, and
rs miles cross at it's widest place. am in
formed that into it are drained and poured,
by river and rivulets, the waters of an area
Of over 100000 square miles. A vast
amount Of water, and Jet this lake has no
outlet. What becomes Of this water2 Can
evaporation alone dispose Of il? am also
informed that the waters Of the lake rose
last year three feet and is now continuing
to rise at the same rate. Should this con-
tinue for few years longer-beware, ye

lowed up as were the saints of the cities Of old,
together with their cities, by that other
Dead Seal On the sides of the mountains
surrounding the lake. at a vertical hight Of
at least 200 feet, distinctly traceable, can be
seen the evidences of water mark, made by
the laving of waves, perhaps Of centuries,

the most incredulous, that In some former
age the lake had been very much larger than |,

to our drewsy, inactive population what the
GulfaStreain is to the Atlantic-he puts the
whole mass to working and keeps them NOV

to the city Of Staunton TO right up things and
put the stagnant waters in motion. He is
lifting up the Virginia Hotel ia splendid style,
and will conduct it upon magnificent scale
He will not only be missed in the busy whirl
'of-the business circle, but the church of which
he Is an acknowledged pillar will lose one
of its most energetic members. Are we not
rlgat then, in saying that the removal of such
q man from our midst is public calamity?
