changed. Kind neighbors said tia
anxiety for her betrothed had stolen
the roses from her cheeks; but the
stalwart young whaler was shocked at
the GOODNESS with which his promised
bride received his caresses.
The wedding procession NOV
ed to the church. Pancho
gay and happy, and Juan,lla's face as
pale as the white wedding.gown she
wore. The VOWS were exchanged, and
the gray-headed priest blessed the mar
ried pair. And then they returned to
the whalcr's cottage. the guitars were
touched, and Pancho led out his lovely
bride in Spanish dance. They had
scarcely taken step, when cry from
the beach brought everybody to the
porch. A boy was seen standing on
the bluff, shouting wildly:
"Down to the boats THE English
man is drowning! To the boats, or he
will be lost -
Before the wedding throng fully com.
pretended the alarm, white figure
burst from their midst. Like the wind
she dashed down the bluff, then over
the rocks, now dashed by the angry
waves, for the tide was high and a
strong Northwestern blowing. At her
feet-alivc, yet not struggling at all
with the breakers-lay Thorpe, his face
full of the agony of death. Juanilla
sprung from the rock with wild
shrek, and her arms encircled the
drowning man. And then, before even
her husband could reach the cliff, a
mighty wave came and drew them both
far out into its depths. An hour after
ward, the sea gave up its. dead. The
arms of the bride still eneircled her
lover, and one Of his was clasped in the
rigidity Of death about her neck, and
upon his face was a smile as Of one
content. They were buried, side by
side, in the sea.washed graveyard. I'M
der the shadow Of oaks in whose
branches the doves at autumn time
cooed through the long gloamings, as if
in sympathy with their old, old story.
And tides ebbed and flowed, and the
seasons changed. and lovers laid flower
offerings on the graves of the two so
lovely to each other in life, and in death
so undivided.

The Press and the Publishers.

The power of the daily press to CEN
tralize trade, especially those branches
of trade which are not dependent upon
facilities, natural or artificial, for ship
ping and carriage, has hardly been APP
prcciated by the public. The grain
produced by the Western States will
naturally seek the quickest and cheap
est transport to the best shipping point,
irrespective Of all other considerations.
Great commercial centers are fixed by
good harbors, easily accessible from
land and sea. But there are multi
tudes Of manufactures which may be,
and are, carried on anywhere, without
reference to the circumstances that fix
the centers of commerce, and other
things being equal, they seek centers Of
influence and advertising facilities. A
bright, enterprising, influential, daily
press, i, any town, is a centralizing
power for all these interests. The press
advertises the locality,-is the exponent
Of it's life and Spirits the center Of
its moral, political, and social influence,
and does more, perhaps, than any other
agency to attract the organized indus
try of it's near and remote neighbor-
hood.
The city of Springfield, in Massachu-
sets, is, perhaps, as good an illustration
of the power of daily press to Gen.
tralize trade and manufactures as any
that the country offers. We wonder
whether the residents Of that city know
how much they owe to their daily press
for their constantly increasing numbers
and their constantly growing prospect.
ty. For twenty-five years they have
had daily press whose enterprise, in.
dustry, intelligence and influence are
believed to have been without precedent
or parallel in the history of provincial
newspapers throughout the world. We
think, indeed, that this is but just
statement Of the fact; and there is moth
ing in the location of the town and its
relations to the country to justify the
supposition that it would have reached
it's present status through other causes.
The town is known throughout the
whole country by its press, and that
press has magnifed its Importance and
influence everywhere. 1t has been a
center Of intelligence and a center of
attraction, and has done, in one sense,
more than anything else to make the
town what it is-one Of the brightest
and most enterprising towns in New
England.

The Iron Trade.
OFFICE OF WILLIAM MRANs,

Au6uSt 4OD 4oiH ]
There Is a lull in the pig IRON market,
but prices are firm at the quotations.
There can be no further reduction Of
prices without slGughteriDg producers,
and they are not inclined TO concessions
in the face Of a general revival oI business,
from which they are already experiencing
relief.
Although large quantities Of pig iron
still remain In first hands, It can not be
denied that large demGnd-which may
come at any tIme-would soon reduce
tho supply, and the ordinary consumption
Of healthy business would be largely In
excess Of the present production.

the murder Of B. W. johnson and wife
at New Lexington Sunday night, brIe
mention Of which was made In these dis

johnson had not lived happily with hil
vile and left Tor Kentucky some months
ago. he returned suddenly Sunday
evening, accompanied by Lorenzo job n
son, his cousin, one riding q flne horse
III olhera a mule, stopping at the house
OF hrS. Lindsey, the mother OF JOhnson's
vile. About Q o'clock Monday morning
pistol shots were heard In the room occI
pied by johnson and wife, and on the
family entering Johnson was found with a
bullet hole In his head and the skull bro
ken. and his wlfe's head was mashed to
= Jelly with an axe. A letter was found
on the table signed by B. Il. johnson and
addressed TO Lorenzo johnson, In which
he says he committed the deed, and had
determined TO do so before leaving Lex.
ington on account Of his wile's in6delIty,
The statement In the letter Is not believed
however, for the reason that johnson
couldn't write, and Lorenzo is thought
TO be the murderer, although there is no
proof olit About 10 o'clock on Monday
morning as the train from the west came
down, and just as Lorenzo was gong
aboard he was arrested Tor horse stealing.
The horse and mule ridden by him and
his cousin was proved TO have been stolen
at Allen, Mo, and these two men answer
ed the description Of the thieves. johnson
was taken TO Richmond, and at last ac-
counts fears were entertained that he
would be lynched. The verdict Of the
coroners iuly was that johnson and vile
were killed BY q blow from an axe and
pistol shots after being chloroiormed, but
Lorenzo johnson Is NOT charged with the
murder. The affair involved a great
