A Romantic Story.

THE Kansas City (Mo) Times of recent
date tells the following romantic story
On Saturday evening Justice Sutton's
office was the scene of the termination of
a most romantic affair A young and
very pretty girl, named Almeda Cosgrove,
residing at San Diego, last summer re-
spOnded to an advertisement in the Vac
e1}y Magazine for correspondence with a
view to matrimony. The new cores
pondent of the young lady resides at
Wathena, Kansas, and represented him
self to be a merchant, young, wealthy,
honest, and in want of a wife. A long
and loving correspondence ensued be-
tween jerome Markham and Miss Cos
grove. Photographs were exchanged,
and Miss Cosgrove was delighted to find
her unseen lover good-looking youth.
Finally she consented to become Mrs.
Markham, and for economy's sake con-
sented to come to Wathena to be married
Being an orphan and without restraint,
she took the Central Pacific about two
weeks ago and started for Kansas. All
went well until she got ON the Denver
Pacific. After leaving Cheyenne the
train struck a drift ten feet high and three
hundred yards in length, and became
hopelessly stuck fast.
While snow-bound near Crow Greek,
SOlOldNlO, MISS SOSSlONC bllC
attention of Julius Emmett, a commission
agent of this city, who, perceiving the
young lady seated alone, and evidently
unprovided for such an emergency, very
gallantly rendered such assistance as was
in his power to give, which was valise
full of cold food and two buffalo robes
The young couple were soon on friendly
social terms Miss Cosgrove very naively
recited her wild adventures, and was re-
warded by Emmett informing her that he
was single, etc. By the time the Kansas
Pacific train had crossed the plains, and
was vending its way over the prairies of
Kansas, the young folks were firm friends.
They parted with regret at WatI ena,
when the young lady turned to meet for
the first time him whom she was to call he I
husband She had only moment to
wait before a rough-looking individual, at
lelst forty years of age, made himsel II
1 known as her correspondent and expect
ant husband Miss Cosgrove, finding she
/ had been deceived, turned, without 6
! word, and entered the car and came to
Kansas City. The following brief item in
last Sundays Times gives the sequel

Who Does the Reading!

BY an investigation of comparative cir
culations of those papers of a political
cast which circulate largely in this section,
we have reduced to tabular form sufficient
as an indication of the reading proclivities
of either political party, at the same time
enlightening our readers as to the actual
status of local and other papers. 1t would
be impossible to enumerate to single
copy those papers which circulate from
abroad through the postoffice to single
subscribers, though the number taken by
clubs is embodied in our estimate. The
figures show for the week ending August
5, the dailies, semi-weeklies and weeklies
of each being combined for the entire
week. These figures are for the village of
Glen's Falls, including all sales at the
newsrooms and postoffice clubs, and GER
tainly indicate the necessity of new
departure" or some other measure for the
education of the Democratic party. They
speak for themselves:

And fills my mouth with canticles of praise

With praise untiring shall my lips o'erfiow,
