Interesting E%lopement.

We read OF an elopement remarka-
BILE for some of Its particulars, which
has just agitated Newton, Mass. A
young married man named Train had
In his employ a young woman, Miss
Norris, with whom Ito fell In love.
The pair determined TO eiope during
the absence Of Mrs. Train. The trunks
were nearly packed; the carriage was
at the door; everything, In short, was
about ready for the guilty flight, when,
In the most provoking manner, the in
jured wife made her appearance. But
the wicked husband was equal to the
emergency. He unblushingly avowed
his purpose Of flying with Miss Norris,
aud, iniorder to make things pleasant,
locked his wife up until he had finished
packing, when the guilty couple drove
away to the station, and thence van
ished into infinite space, with a good
deal of borrowed money. The last
mentioned fact has stimulated pursuit,
and there 10 some hope that Train may
be caught and served rs be served his
unfortunate wife. Such Is the story
as we find 1t, and an odd one 1t Is. We
have heard Of locking up to prevent an
elopemens but never before Of a lock-
ing upto promote one.-N. Y. Tribune,

A Curious Steer.

In the corral Of Dunphy & Co., at
San Francisco, says the Bulletin Of
yesterday, Is a steer the singularity OF
whose appearance has saved him from
the butchers ak. He Is coal black,
and without a particle Of hair, and the
tail Is long, and not unlike q black
snake whip. About four years ago,
the animal, then a calf, vas received
by Mr.. Dunphy from Bombay. The
Captain of the vessel was a friend Of
his, and brought over the curious
beast, which was raised by a native
stock owner In India. The steer was
then turned out on the Salinas plain
with other cattle, and was recently
brought to town. The agent Of Wood
WARTS Gardens Is now about making
terms for Ills purchase, aud he will
probably be transferred to the society
Of the other strange beasts Of the gar
deu. The steer has a fine long pair Of
horns and Is really a remarkable look
ing animal.

Chris. and Lena Troubles.

Messrs. Baker and Farron, the great
Chris. aud Lena artists, were brought
here yesterday. says the Sacramento
Record or Saturday, by officers Stevens
aud .McLennan, having been arrested
ut Colfax on the complaint Of Mrs.
Maria N. Marong, who charged them
with embezzlement. The complainant
had arrived here on Thursday after
noon and Informed tho police that Ba-
ksr, who was al intimate friend Of
hers, had started East and taken with
him a Jun Of money belonging to her,
a ticket to New York, and her trunks.
A dispatch was seut to Colfax, where
they were stopped and brought back
here as stated. It now appears that
after Mrs. Marong had made her com.
plaint she met a gentleman who told
her that Baker had left word with him
where i. she, would find her things,
which she supposed he bad taken with
him, but It was then too late to pre-
vent thsirxrrest. The trunks, tickets,
etc., had been left for her In San Fran
cisco. and she falling to get the mes
sage Baker sent her, supposedythat he
had taken them with him. She went
as far. rs Arcade yesterday and met
them. and by the TINA they arrived
here everything was satisfactorily ex-
planned, and she wished to withdraw
the charge, but found she could not,do
30 until the Police Court opens this
morning. Baker and Farron ut once
gave . bond foe their appearance and
were set at liberty. A stipulation Of
satisfaction will be filed this morning,
and they will resume their journey to
the East. As they are announced to
open In Albany, New York, on the LIST
Of February, they have no time to
lose, and this missake was . very an
noylng one to them.

CARSON MINT AssAY1Ne.

We have received from Conrad VIE
gand an deliberately and ably written
Of Sky finely written pages,
entitled "a Protest and Petition Ad-
dressed to the Congress Of the United.
States by the Present and Former AS
sayers of Nevada, Against Unlawful
Practices at the Carson City Branch
Mint and Praying for Remedial Leg
~islation." It Is signed by sixteen Of
the present and former assayers Of
Virginia City, Gold Hill. and Silver
City, and the petitioners ask at the
hands Of Congress such changes In the
pending new Mint or Coinage bill as
would be equivalentto the passage ofan
Act 10 confne the United States Minis
and assay Offices to the constitutional
functions for the valuation, purchase,
refining and general preparation OF
suitable metals for coinage. The fol-
lowing extract explains the idea more
fally: VIC
The occasion Of our thus petltioning
your honorable body to modify the
pending Mint Law as above. Is the
fact that. without authority in law,
the Carson Mint habitually assays ores
for tho public ; also manufactures, as
says and issues mere mercantile silver
bars at rates SO low, that IL Is only By
ignoring their necessary actual costs
TO the Government, orrelse by constru-
Ing . portion oftheminto coinage out
lays, that the charges tor the work
performed can be made TO appear to
cover its expenses. The result Of
making ore-assays for the public. to-
gether with the Issuance Of bars
1T these low rates, to q portion
Of Dur number, has been ut
ter destruction In business, while
their large investments In specially
adapted buildings, furnaces, machine
ry, Implements and tools have been
rendered almost vslueless. And those
Of our number who have not yet been
driven out OF business, have been COM
PEELED by Intensified competition to
reduce charges SO largely, that nothing
but q very large amount OF work, or
else an unsystematic method Of doing
their work. can ever again afford them
those honorable profits which their In
y6stments, qualifications character
aud responsibilities should secure
tbsm. They still remain In business
largely, because they rebel at being
wrongfully driven from a lifelong pur-
suit, while there Is so much good rea-
son to hope for that justice which now
we respectfully solicit at your hands.
Having been In full. sympathy with
the assayes in this matter from the
first, we simply reiterate our former
expressed opinion on the subject, con-
curing with the above extract, as well
as with the contents Of the pamphlet
generally. This Interference by the
Mint with;such an important branch Of
industry in this community, works
very detrimentally not only to bullion
and ore sssaying interests, bnt proper
tionatsly to the country generally. 1t
was a needless interference on the
part Of the Government, and we hope
to see justice done in the matter, and
that It will be duly attended to BY our
representatives at Washington. The
pamphlet Is written In Wiegand's own
peculiar, logical, and deeply analytic
al,style, replete with sound argument,
and will we'll repay perusal.

Sarah Bullion, factory girl OF New
Hampshire, has had fairy history. In
a newspaper she accidentally saw
the name Of Il Mr.. Bullion, Of Natchi-
toches who had taken part in some pub
lie demonstration. The name being
quite uncommon, Sarah wrote modest
letter Of inquiry, giving her own gene
alogy, and suggesting that there might
be some relationship. In q fortnight
came on an answer, cheerfully written,
in which distant relationship was
demonstrated. The Southerner added
that he was old, without family and
had few friends; and earnestly hoped
for a continuation of the correspon-
denee. Agreed to, and kept up for
three years; but her last letter remain
ed unanswered for three months, when
came a letter from Mr.. Butillon's law
yer, informing her that the dear old
man had left her his whole property,
amounting to over 100000. Sarah,
by-the-way, just before receiving the
news, had married young man of
her own rank, and now they have
gone down to Natchitoches to look
after their assets.-Irairte Farmer.
