A ROMANCE OF LOVE AND CON
STANCY.

Here is a story Of love and cOnstanCy
which has made material for a few days
gossip at Washington: Ten years ago the
daughter of one of our naval officers sta
toned at San Francisco, became engaged
TO handsome young Russian, who visited
that port with the Russian feet. The
lovers were soon separated; the Lieutenant
sailed away; the lady in course Of time
came with her father TO Washington. A
correspondence was maintained regularly,
but there was no opportunity for a meeting.
Finally the officer was ordered to a distant
post, where mails were unknown. No word
was heard of him for three years. In spite
Of the circumstances Of her friends, the
lady trusted and waited, and a few weeks
ago a letter came TO say that he was on his
way TO America to claim the fulhllment of
her promise. He brought with him a sister,
of whom report speaks as The most beauti-
ful woman ever seen in Washington, and
the constancy Of ten years were rewarded
by quiet wedding at Georgetown.

QUEER MISTAKES THROUGH CLOSE
RESEMRLANCES.

A brief letter from Dorchester, Mass, 10
the Boston Advertiser, tells the following;
".There are in this town two twin BROTH
ers, whose resemblance to each other is so
strong that strangers can hardly tell them
apart. They keep a grocery and provision
store and were one day bringing in bags
of meal from a wagon, which was out of
sight from inside the store. Nathan had
his coat on, but Eli was in his shirt sleeves.
A stranger in the shop watched them COM
ing in and going out one after the other, but
only one was visible at a time, and at last
he exclaimed to Eli, well, you're the
smartest man l ever saw but why do you
keep putting on and taking off your coat p
These brothers and several other men were
in the habit of getting up very early and
going to swim in the Reservoir Pond and
once Eli going, as was his wont, to Nathans
house, to call him by tapping on the pane,
saw his own face reflected from the glass,
and taking it for his brother called out,
Come on; they're all waiting for you"

Mexican Outrages.

THE friends of the project of annex

found cause to justify such a pro-
ceeding, '.peacably if we can, forci-
bly, if we must" Mr.. Conner, the
representative of the most western
district OF Texas, has recently intro
duced into the House resolution re.

and depredations OF Mexican bandits

as bordering on Mexico. He comp
lains that there is no security for stock
in western Texas, as Mexicans come
over the RIO Grande on pretense Of
seeking employment, and having
found large herds OF cattle under the
care OF few men, they drive them
off over the river and sell them.
Night is generally the time chosen
for this work. The present civil
war in Mexico makes demand tor
beef cattle, and the demand is met
by stock stolen fran Texas. The of,
ticials on the Mexican side take little
notice of the complaint OF American
stock raisers, or are powerless to pre-.
vent the thetts. The state OF Texas
lately sent one OF its citizens to the
city of Mexico to demonstrate with
the government on the subject.
GovernacSatford OF Arizona also COM
plans that the stages running from
FL Paso, Texas. to San Diego, Cal,
have been repeatedly robbed by
Mexlcans, and that these attacks are
on the increase. THIS stage route is
almost identical with the proposed
Texas Pacific Railroad, and runs
with in few miles of the Mexican
boundary. In several instances the
relay stations have been pillsged,
and no less than six Americans have
been killed, who were left in charge
of property. There seems to be no
way OF Furnishing the offenders. The

A Vienna Worlds Fair, for 1873.

The Worlds Fair, at Vienna in
1873 is hint for Americans. 1t is
intended TO make it the largest that
has ever ye. been given. The park
set apart tor the exhibition contains
tour times as many square yards as
have been similarly occupied, aud the
principal building alone will have a
length of 1860 feet. The committee
having charge OF the exhibition have
expressed Il desire to have full dis
play Of the raw materials, and manu-
iactured articles of each nation, with
statistical information. Among the
specialitles will be an art loan collec
tion from all the German museums,
and collection of articles used by
different nations in their domestic al
fairs-kitchen utensils, furniture, and
dress, ornamental objects, and, in
fact, everytl ing used about house.
The Americans acquitted themselves
with honor at Paris, and if Mr.. Jaw,
cur Minister at Vienna, can furnish
the necessary data, they will andoubt-
edly, carry off the Austrian honors as
easily as they did did the French.

Electing United States Senator's by
Popular Vote.


The tritc truism that "all change
is not reform" finds exemplification
in some of the schemes for tinkering
the Federal Constitution, which have
been multiplied OF late by the agita.
ton Of those necessary amendments
10 that instrument, which the exigen-
cies OF great civil war, and the mil
itary overthrow OF an odious and re-
pugnant social and political system
made imperative. Accordingly, we
have various plans OF amendment
touching the rights of suffrage, the
eligibility of the President to rc-clec
tion, the incorporation of a religious
test, the mode OF electing United
States Senator's, and so forth. Some
OF these propositions, doubtless have
merit. We propose now to consider
that which the recommendation Of
Gov. Hoffman in his annual message,
seems to have brought into consider
able prominence, VIZ: The plan to
change the Constitution, so that Sen.
ators shall be elected by popular vote
instead of that OF the State Legisla-
lures. The violent tactous warfare
in New York, between the two SEN
ators of that State, and their respec.
tixe partizans, has done something,
We suppose, to popularlze Gov. Hotf.
mans recommendation; and the re
cent fierce and discreditable Senator
lal contest in this State has led some
journals, we notice. to second the
suggestion. 1t Is believed by some
that the people-instcad of the leg
islature-elccted the Senator, the re-
suit would have been different. Pos
sibly. But We will refer to that
point further on.

A fair litigant in Pennsylvania
court has just achieved a double tri.
umph by a decision which at the
same time establishes point in favor
OF married women's rights, and also
the possibility of getting the advan
tage OF railroad corporation IN a
lawsuit. The case was that OF mar.
ried woman who, having lost guam
tity OF baggage valued at $4,000
brought an action in her own name
against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company tor damages to tha,
amount. The Company relied in its
defense on two points First, that the
plaintiff was incompetent to sue, as
in such a case the suit TO be valid
must be brought by the husband; and
second, that as their tickets express
ly notified passengers that their liza
bility for losses OF baggage was linn
ted to $l00, in any case no greater
amount could be recovered from
them. The Court decided agains
the Company on both points, aud the
lady obtained judgment in her favor
for the whole amount claimed.

Aaw~ NJ

1 A0yo OH 4Ab0oDeI1s
Among the passengers on the train
bound south, last evening, was man
born and raised in the county Of Of
sego New York. His name is Will
liam Jacobs. He prides himself on
three we'll developed arms and hands,
the member extraordinary having
grown above the right shoulder blade.
1t hangs suspended down the back
and can be raised and lowered at
will. In length it is shorter than the
arms proper, but possesses extraor.
dinary muscle, which he displays
| whenever occasion demands it. No
person passing through railroad car,
or meeting him upon the street,
would observe any dvtormlty, bu. at
ter becoming cognizant OF this sin gu-
lar case, would observe peculiar fit
of his coat.
He states that he has often been
questioned as to why he does not
place himself upon exhibition, or be-
come one OF Barnum's permanent at
fractions. His invarlable reply is
that he is averse 20 public exhibitions.
His father being wealthy farmer, he
had always preferred to remain at
home, and was the most active and
profitable of farmers help. He
would assist in loading hay; and at
the same time hold securely the
horses relns. On several occasions
he came near breaking this unnatural
member by sudden tails, and at one
time suffered the pangs OF tullsized
telon upon the torehnger.
On one occasion, when about
eighteen, the village boys thought
they would have little sport at the
"Three-arm's" expense, and com.
menced a system OF blackguardism,
followed by bold attacks upon his
person. Forbearance ceased to be .
virtue. and, throwing off his loose
garments, he went at them in q pu-
gillstic style, arm number three per
forming its duty nobly, and apparent
ly outriyaling numbers one and two.
A; the end OF the skirmish six pros
trate villagers told what fierce op-
ponent they had met. "Three-arms"
gained a notority, aud never after.
ward was prosecuted on account of
his detormity. AT the outbreak OF
the rebellion he joined New York
regiment, and SO distinguished HIM
self by bravery, that he was finally
promoted to Captain, and ranked as
the best drill officer of the regiment
to which he was attached. AT the
close OF the war he returned to the
farm, and has since remained there.
He is now en- route tor the South, to
yisi: a sister somewhere in the lnte.
rior OF North Carolina. 1t may be a
query with some, how he could use
his arm with the proper clothing up
on his body. All his garments In.
tended for laboring suits were so
made as to open upon the back, and
closed by buttonlng, the same as a
child's apron. He is truly wonder.
