Wildermutt, for 1 was told that both this
lady and her mother had formerly be
longed to the household Of Czarina, your
august grandmother.
"This is really remarkable" said the
Grand Duke, thoughtfully. II am quite
euperstitious, and am really inclined to
regard this ring, it | shou d be happy
enough to receive it from you as pledge
Of your love, as an omen Of very auspi.
cious significance.
In answer to this second and even more
direct appeal to her heart, the Princess
took small piece Of bread, played care
lessly with il, aud managed to press the
ring deeply into the soft crumbs. Then
she dropped it playfully on the table
quite close to the plate Of her neighbor
And after this adroit exhibition of her
skill as an actress, she continued to eat as
unconcerned as If she had performed the
most Insignificant action of her ,fe
With the same apparent GOODNESS and
indifference the Grand Duke picked up
the bread inclosing the ring. took the
latter out of its ingenious envelope. and
concealed it in his breast, for it was too
small to fit any of his fingers. 1t was
this rinc-both the pledge Of Charlotte's s
love and the auspicious omen Of his own
elevation to the Imperial dignity which
Nicholas wore on q golden chain around
his neck to the very last days of his life,
and which, it is said, has even descended
with him into the vault of his ancestors
Three years after, in 1917, Princess
Charlotte, then only nineteen years of
age, and in the full splendor Of beauty and
happiness made her entry into St. Peters
burg by the side of her husband, whose
eye had never looked prouder, and whose
noble brow had never been more serene
than at this happiest moment Of his life.
AS he looked down upon the great multi
tude who had locked from all parts Of the
vast empire to greet the young Princess
with shouts and rejoicings, and then again
upon tho fair young bride, perhaps the
inscription Of the ring recurred to his
mind, for, bending his head quite close to
the ear of Charlotte he whispered, Now
empress Of the hearts, and perhaps some
day empress of the realms -
At this moment the procession reached
the main entrance Of the Winter Palace

credited it that eight years afterwards the
brilliant young Emperor would have
breathed his last, and that Nicholas and

Editor Herald: Some time ago sew
eral newspapers, and I think yours among
them, requested that something shoult
be written on the subject Of the "stom
ach.ache." The request has suggested
the following lines to one of my earl,
and intimate companions.
ORvIL PAYNE.
BELLA AIKEN.
I cannot cat, cannot sleep,
think my heart Is breakin';
Angelic visions o'er me creep,
OF lovely Bella Aiken.
The very sight of her sweet face
Will set me all quakin';
I oft forget time, space and place,
At thought of Bella Aiken.
And once, indeed, I almost found
My senses were leave takin',
When near me suddenly appeared
My darling Bella Aiken.
A business man I was of yore,
Prompt, careful and pains takin',
think of business cares no moro,
But Of my Bella Alien.
The very brides in the trees,
That set the bows a shakin',
Filling the air with melody,
Sing Of my Bella Aiken.
And when the balmy breath Of spring
To lire the fow'rs are wakin',
Unbounded happiness twill bring
To me and Bella Aiken.
For at the altar we will stand,
And solemn vows be takin'
To journey ever hand in hand,
Me and my Bella Aiken.
And as the vino clings to the oak,
Will I, all else forsakin',
willing slave in Hymen's yoke,
Cling TO my Bella Aiken.
Then all the world may disagree,
Discord and chaos maxim.
Ecstatic bliss alone can be,
Mine with my Bella Aiken.

FIR. GREELEY'S CAREER,

To what ridiculous assertions the Grant
men are driven. The other night, at
Virginia, Stewart said that eff Greeley
had million year, he couldn't support
himself" What moon-struck folly such
twaddle is, is easily seen when Eve look
at the record of Greeley's life. Begin
ming with nothing, by his genius, econo-
my and industry, he founded and COLI
Quoted to a successful issue one of the
most difficult undertakings in the world,
the successful establishment of a great
daily newspaper. The Tribune is one Of
the first journals of the civilized world,
and is monument of the talents, the in
dustry and integrity of Horace Greeley.
Turning to the history of this blatant de-
famer Of Mr.. Greeley, We would like to
ask Mr.. Stewart whether he can show
more meritorious record, as the result of
his career as a Comstock lawyer and
United States Senator?

A QUESTION AND ANSWER,

The San Francisco Alta always goes
blundering round like corn cob in a
swill tub, but we did not expect it could
make so stupid a mistake as to publish
the following:
The Republican party, and President
Grant II particular, have been arranged
IN this campaign by the Opposition. for
the bad local government in some South-
ern States. As matter of fact, three,
or at most four States, have complained
OF bad local government at the South
Georgia, South Carolina. Alabama. and
Louisiana, 1.-THE Governor of the latter is
Greeley mani. But admitting the fact.
the Question arises. What has the Re-
publican party to do with the local gov
eminent in those States?
The question should rather be: What
is there in the local government of those
States that the Republican party has not
to do with? The absuriity of the Alta 5
question we'll illustrates its dense
ignorance of the matter it attempts to
discuss. 1t says 'only three, or at most
four Southern States, have complained
of bad local government" What has
been done with Arkansas, Mississippi,
Florida, Texas and North Carolina. Has
not the Republican party something to
do with the local government Of those
States: 1t ought to have, for its mem
bers have been steadily stealing from
those States, as well as the others that
the Alta names for the last four years.
The men who do the swindling say they
are Republicans. They sent delegates
to the Philadelphia Convention which
nominated Grant. He calls them Re-
publicans, so does Cameron, Nye, Stew
art, Conkling, Morton and all the rest of
that crowd. If they are not Republicans
what are they? We mean politically,
for We know their other name. If they
did not have all to do with the local
government OF the Southern States,
who did? II the local government were
not in Republican hands how is it that
they manage TO steal about $3.50, 0O0,-
Co., and then bnild palaces with their
plumber, like Scott of South Carolina has
done in Ohio and Bullock of Georgia in
Canada. II they are not Republicans
who have done all these things, will some
body tell US to what political stripe they
belong. One thing is certain, every mar
Jack of them will be found voting fol
Grant in November. We suppose thai
Is tolerably searching test of what they
can bear in the Republican line. II
they stand that-surely they ought to be
considered in full affiIiation, and nc
comatose old blunderer like the Alta
ought to be allowed to ask what
they have to do with the Republican
party?

DEATH OF JAMES w. COFFROTH,

We heard with SINCERE regret Of the
death of this distinguished gentleman,
who for SO long has filled such promi-
nent place on the Pacific Coast among
men distinguished for their talents, pro-
fessional requirements and political
standing. We copy the following par
ticulars from the Sacramento Union:
James W. Coffroth died suddenly at
his residence on H street, between
Eleventh street and Twelfth street.
1t appears, that while waiting for street
Car to pass, in which to ride down to his
Office, suddenly he fell to the floor, with
out so much as an exclamation OF pain
Messengers were dispatched for physi-
clans, but the unfortunate gentleman had
been past relief from the time be fell
A post mOrten examination made subse-
quently, revealed the fact that death re-
suited from aneurism of the aorta, the
latter, on breaking, having discharged its
contents through the asophagus into the
stomach, which was distendsd to its ut
most size.
Deceased, who was a native of Frank
lin county, Pennsylvania, served an ap-
premiership as printer in the Keystone
Office, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was
correspondent of an Eastern journal from
the battlefield during the Mexican war,
came to California in 1919, when but
about 20 years Of age, and made his home
in Columbia, Tuolumne county, where
his talents soon brought him into promi-
nence: while his ready wit and constant
good nature caused him to become ex-
ceedingly popular. In 1852 he was
chosen to represent the county in the
Assembly, and bore himself so well that
his constituents sent him the next term
to the Senate, and continued him there
until 1857, when he took up his residence
in Sacramento, and has since then re-
manned here. His legal attainments
served to place him in the highest rank
of the profession as criminal lawyer,
while his eloquence made him one Of the
most interesting of public speakers; and
his thorough acquaintance with politics
and politicians, and ready tact in dealing
with them, rendered him leading man
in the party with which he affiliated. He
was three times q candidate before the
people for Congress from the Second
District, and though unsuccessful in the
various campaigns, yet his popularity
was attested by the number OF votes re.
ceived by him in excess of those cast for
the remainder of his ticket A man of
personal magnetism and social qualities,
he attracted to himself host of friends
from among the people who became &C.
quainted with him, and OF these especial
ly do Sacramentans. who lived and asso.
eiated with him SO long, deplore his un-
timely decease.

AGRICULTURAL REPoRr-We have re-
ceived the Monthly Report of the De-
pertinent of Agriculture, for August and
September. 1t says that the cotton crop
promises to be nine per cent. less than
an average, but it is thought that the in
creased area of cultivation will cause an
increase over the crop of 1871. The corn
crop is expected to be largely over aver
age. The wheat crop is very varied,
some States falling much below, while
others are far above, the average. As a
whole, the crop is believed to be full
average one.
