A RAILROAD PRoPosITIoN. The Com
aittee Of citizens appointed to negntia.e
with the Railroad Commissioners for
the location of TIE terminus, have re-
ceiyed ii definite proposition from. q
party of nnquestionable responsibility,
to build. equip and put in running order
on or fore the first of January next,
Il railrotd to connect with the Ii 60
the Northern Pacific roa near Tacoma,
which would give tins city all the ad-
rantages Of ii direct connection. for 8
specific subsidy or bonus less in amount
than is already pledged to the Northern
Pacific Company for the terminus. So
1t appears the bidding is not all on one

A ROMANCE OF THE IIuB.-A Boston cores
pondent OF the Chicago "Tribune" relates the
following story About ten years ago Boston
merchant sent his lovely daughter into Vermont
for her health. She stayed few E.onths and
iell deeply in love with poor but promising
maehinist there. Soon after her return the
young man followed her to Boston, and reques-
ted her fathers consent to wedding in the in
definite future. That party, however, indig-
nantly rebuked his pretenslOns, and the young
man went West with wounded pride but vast
ambition. In short time he amassed large
fortune, as usual, but did not, as usual fall In
love again. The lady, on the other hand, obey
ing her fathers wishes, married, and went to
Europe TO live. In two years she was a widow,
but having lao call to America she continued TO
live abroad. Recently the Western capitalist
was called to Europe on business. He took a
passage last September in steamer bound from
Marseilles to Leghorn. A sudden storm arose,
and as the vessel pitched about, lady rassen.
ger was thrown overheard. He leaped after
her, the crew threw over chairs and planks, but
nothing was seen Of the two poor creatures in
the water. They were given up for lost. 1t
happened, however, that they reached plank,
irited about until morning, and then We're res
cued and carried to Malta. 1t is needless tC
say that she was she and he was he, and they
were married at once in the English chapel and
are now on their way home TO America. Moral

STRAW ON PorAToEs.-A great deal has been
said In regard to raising the Irish potato and
perhaps they may require different treatment
in different climates, but for this part of the
country know of no better way to grow nice,
large, and smooth potatoes than the following !:
Prepare the ground in the usual way; mark
out the rows tolerably deep. Plant the potatoes
the desired distance apart, then cover well with
rotten straw after covering well with straw
take the pillow and throw furrow on it, or if
one furrow does not cover the straw throw
another on from the other side; cultivate in the
usual way. Persons who have never tried this
plan will be surprised at the resuit-the pota-
toes will be larger and superior in every respect
to those raised in the usual way. They will all
| be found under aud among the straw, and will
| be as nice and clean as though they had been
washed. 1t will also be found that the trouble
Of digging will not be near great, as the dirt
| and straw can be easily turned off with a fork,
and the potatoes will be found together as nice
as new pin. Try it.-Cor. Of An. Farm

\ LUCKY HlT.-I must tell you Of a serio-
