WEBSTER AND JENNY LIND.

(Ex-0oy Foote'S :. "Reminiscences Of the Past ;"
When the dinner was over, Webster
in his most bland and courteous manner,
approached Stuart and myself, and in.
vited us to accompany him in his car
riage back to Washington, suggesting that
he would be pleased if we would go with
him also to the opera, where Jenny Lind
was to regale for the last time Wash
ington audience with her charming min
strelsy. There was, of course, no reius-
ing such an inyitation; so we hurried
forward. with glorious anticipations of
enjoyment, TO the appointed scene of
entertainment. On arriving ut the door
of the opera-house, Webster entered in
his grandest m inner, and slowly passed
down the central aisle OF the building.
1t chanced that Jenny Lind was then ON
the platform, and WAS about to COM
mence singing our inspiring national
anthem, The Star-spangled Banner.
SO soon as Webstcr's approach was per-
ceiyed, the nssemhhge spontaneously
broke forth with tempestuous applause,
evidently recognizing il as remarkable
coincidence that the renowned defender
of the Constitution should happen to
come in at the very moment that the
sacred emblem of the nations liberty
and union WAS on the very eve Of being
rapturonsly apostrophized an song. So
soon as the audience settled down into
quietude, the inspiring tones of Jenny
Linds marvellous voice was heard. Never
before or since have | been so over
whelpingly sensible. as on that occasion
] was, of the conmingled power OF music
and sentiment. The whole concourse
really seemed to be electrified Webster
was so transported with drlight that he
actually seemed to become almost uncon-
scious of the presence of others, and
hummed very distinctly in unison with
the varying tones Of the sonsstress. AL
the enthusiasm of his soul seemed To
have been kindled Ia flame, all'his patri-
otto pride TO have been awakened, and
his whole moral nature appeared to have
been touched and inspired by the
seraphic sounds to which he was an
enraptured listener. When the song hnd
been concluded, Webster, as if impelled
by sense Of official duty to o1cr, IN the
nane ol thr great nation which he felt
himself entitled in some degree TO repre-
sent on this occasion, the formal tribute
Of Its respect, rose from his seat, and
stepping forward to central position
between the audience and the platform
ON which Jenny Lind WAS standing, he
made her one of the most honoring and
majestic bows ever beheld. The amia-
BILE and accomplished recipient of an
homage as unexpected ms 1t must have
been gratifying. manifested something of
graceful and blushine embarrassment.
but courtesied, Notwithstanding, most
profoundly in response, upon which the
assembled multitude gave vent TO their
delight in most voeifcrous applause. A
second how was administered. with pre-
cisely similar accompaniments. A third
bow was rendered, when the charming
" Swedish Nightingale, ms she was
called, iucoutinently took wing and be-
came invisible to our fond and admiring
eyes, perehance forever.

LOVE UNDER pIFF1cuLrIEs.

Last Summer German boy and girl.
Henry and Susie, living in Minnesota,
fell III love with one another. Her family,
at first Indifferent, early in Winter put
themselves in opposition to the match.
But this Romeo was no drawing-room
lover. Desperately in earnest himself
and confident of the fidelity of his Juliet.
he brayely went to work to mike home
Tor her. He already owned a quarter
section of land. Taking his ak, he went
to his ESTATE, and there cut down trees
and hewed out logs enough to make
cabin, which he put up without help,
and furnished in rude but comfortable
fashion. This done, lie asked Susie to
come and be his wife. She consented.
Unfortunately, the young man had not
yet set up his carriage; and, since it was
unbecoming for a bride 10 90 on foot, a
hand-sled, drawn by the bridegroom, was
pressed into the service of the pair. Thus
they went forth in secrecy to their new
home in the woodland, she riding trinity
ON the sled, he tugging bravely at the
strap. 1t was eight miles to the little
cabin, but love made the journey short.
There the wedding was to take place,
'NiBg ii"h hafiiib pioulotu " De III Wtlt-
ing to make them man and wife. I'm
fortunately the clergyman was not there,
aud Susie was frightened and ashamed.
She wanted to 90 home; but Henry,
grleyed at her mistrust, and yet secretly
pleased with her modesty, proposed that
until clergyman could be found the
cabin should be divided, by a partition
wall, into two cabins, OF which one
should belong to her and one to him.
To this she agreed, and the young man
went eleven miles thrC ugh the snow after
the boards for the wall, dragging them
home on the sled which had Just carried
IA more lovely burden. When the parents
found their fraullen, it was under these
circumstances-she keeping house by
herself; he living like a bachelor, and
bearing himself in every way with
courtesy worthy of Henry
Esmond himself. The father and brother
were touched, Notwithstanding their grief
and anger, by the unconventional honor
and purity of the young people, and
wisely concluding that the match was
made in heaven, gave their heartiest as
sent to it,

SUSPENSION OF WoRK.-The ore trains
on the Nevada Central Railway ceased
running on Friday evening. and twenty
five employees were discharged. This,
which is only "A temporary suspension, is
owing to the cessation of work in the
Raymond a. Ely mine, on account Of
which there is no ore to be shipped by
rail until the taking ont Of ore is resumed.
The company now have an excellent OPP
portunity to make those changes ON the
road which are necessary. The cars will
continue to carry the bullion from the
mills, and other freight which it has been
customary to send by tie road.-Pioche

MaRLETTE LAEE.-This splendid body
of water was named after our ex-Survey-
or General, by whom it was claimed,
says the Carson Appeai. Gen Marlette,
by building dam twenty or thirty feet
long caused the water TO overflow some
three hundred acres. The lake is fed by
constant mountain streams, and is capa-
bic of being made one OF the finest reser-
voifs in the country. II is situated a
little north Of west from Carson aud not
more than eight or nine miles distant.
To obtain a supply of water from this
lake the Gold Hill and Virginia Water
Company will have to build hume from
the present terminus of their pipes ut
Frankton Creek, distance of some
twelve miles.

FATAL SHOOTING AFFBAY.-Abont fif-
teen minutes past nine o'clock, on the
9TH instant, shooting atfray occurred mt
Truckee, between two sports named
Andy Fugate and White, resulting in the
death of Fugate in five minutes after.
The parties were less than fifteen feet
apart at the time of the shooting. White
is badly wounded, and will surely die
There was third party in the affray.
but who he was or where he is is un-
known. There were as many as fourteen
shots fired, and the short distance be-
tween the parties enabled them to make
their shots tell. Fugate has been resi-
dent Of this place for some time; White
has been resident here but a short time
What the cause of the affray was is not
positively known. but it is thought to be
some old grudge, rs they have several
times lately come very near collision.
Neither party had families. Fugate was
a painter by trade. The lively cracking
of the pistols made the citizens scatter
quickly. The affiir occurred on one of ON
most public streets, and it is considered
fortunate that no one but the parties in.
terested were favored with shot.

A LIVELY SERMON on the Vice of the

by Rev DR.. Holland of that city, and in
the course of his remarks he said The
middle class spend their income in keep
ing up false appearance. They, too,
must wear doye-eolored pantaloons and
shiny boots. They must wear diamond
studs and seal rings, and carry young
ladies to the opera in hired carriages at
the rate of three hours use for three
days wages. They must take a turn
now and then at billiards, stand treat to
the cocktails, bet upon their veracity

demonstrate their nerve by fighting the
tiger. until it claws the last dime ont of

GOPHER SroRY.-The G'telay Tri-
bme tells the following remarkable story:
The Colorado gopher has long been
considered one of the most tenacious Of
animals. In laying brick the other day,
a Monroe street mason had occasion 10
break one of the brick. and great WAS his
astonishment to find Young gopher in
it, The gopher was blind, and could
scarcely move, but it eagerly ate cheese
and bread crumbs. Ii seems "A nest of
young ones was thrown in the clay mill
last Spring, and it was thought they
escaped, but by some eoincident of nature
this one was entombed in brick, which
was burned with the rest Had the air
reached him during his confinement,
only a cinder would have marked his
resting place in the fiery tabernacle of
clay.

BUTLER AHEAD.-No'w withstanding the
general outburst of Indignation from all
parts of the country against those who
supported the "salarygrab steal, yet
we see the author and defender of the
BILL Ben Butler, is making a strong cam
vass for Governor of Massachusetts, with
the chances at present in his favor. The
present incumbent, Governor Washburn,
is contesting the field with him. but so
far the delegates elected to the Republi
can Convention are classified as being, a
majority of them, in favor of the nomi-
nation of Butler. It is not, however,
the Governorship that Butler courts so
much. hut he regards his success now as
essential to place himself prominently
before the country as candidate for the
Presidency in 1S76.-Pioche Record.
