We received no Eastern mail this
morning and the prospect Is dubious
fer the arrival Of any fer days to come.
The Central Pacific Railroad between
Humboldt Wells and Toano Is at last
blsckaded. A dispatch from Elko OF
yesterday says that the Eastern pas
senger trains leaving San Francisco
have get as far east rs Humboldt
Wells. and are waiting for the track to
be cleared before proceeding farther.
Trains FROM the East have succeeded
In getting no farther West than rssno.
The company are working hard to
raise tho blockade, but have been I'M
lucky. The dispatch says the prospect
for a weeks blockade Is favorable un-
less there Is a change In the weather.
The weather yesterday on the line OF
the blockade was sold and clustering,
with occasional snow squalls. The
Central Pacific IS we'll rs the Vlrgiaia

this Winter, and great credit Is due to
both for the regularity with which

East and wes.. Tho Winter 10 now

full. It Is more than probable that We
have had our last heavy snow storm,
and that when the blockade shall be
raised by the Central Pacific there
will be no further Interruption Of
travel. Had the present trouble oc-
Cured 4 month since, there would In
all probability have been no trains
through from the East until now. We
all remember the blockade upon the
Union Pacific two or three years
since BY which for many weeks over
land travel was interrupted, and much
suffering occa,ioned to those who we're
so unfortunate as to be caught out.
During the past Winter very little
trouble has been experienced on the
Union Pacific. The snowfall has been
comparatively light all over the East

A ROMANCE.
Love BIluhted Ends In a Convent.

Bertha Gerolt, daughter Of the late
Prussian Minister to the United Statos)
who entered the Monastery Of the Wis
itation In the District Of Columbia,
about three years ago. took the final
vows on Saturday, February z, 1874,
and will hereafter be seen no more In
the midst Of that unconscious history
performing within her daily hearing.
Many years ago, u sister Gertrude
or Miss Ann G.. Wight, . beautiful
girl Of an old Maryland family, was
sent to this convent school while her
family were visiting Europe; aud,
when they returned. she was pledged
to the Church. There she showed
such zeal that sho was talked OF Tor
lady Superior but for some cause
never known, she covered herself WITH
. Monks cloak mi night, and escaped
into the city, refusing all applications
to return, and she again became q brill
liant woman Of society, not without
Influence In official things, and demon
strated her cleverness BY going to the
City OF Mexico In pursuit Of a legacy
left her by q schoslmats, the daughter
OF the Emperor Iturblde, and recover
Ing It. Miss Wight never married,
and, q little while prior to the Rebel.
lion, she died In the family Of James
II. Mason, United States Senator.
THE HEROINE OF TIE CONVENT.
Miss Bertha Gerslt was OF a Catholic
family, although her father represented
n Protestant Kingdom. She was Of
refined nature, much sweetness and
sensiblllty, and probably felt for her
father. who was growing old. was quite
poor, and, In the movement Of Count
Bismarck against the Catholic Church,
stood In danger OF losing his Legation.
About that time there lived with Baron
Gerolt, rs attache, q young man be.
longing to one Of the noblest and Oldest
Protestant houses, people rs proud
Of their religious consistency. as oil
their rank. He grew enamored OF our
Miss Gerolt and the alliance would
have been proper and acceptable In
every way but for the matter Of rellg-
lon. The attaches mother In Prussia,
repealed the Idea OF the Catholic con.
nection /: while the eccleslastlcs In
America, seeing an apparent oppor.
tunlty to do some proselytizing
around the Prusslan Court, operated
upon Miss Gerolt's mind. AFTER the
parents on both sides wero toler'
ably agreed, the religious Issue wai
kept up, aud the question Of children
had to be settled In advance, until the
young mans patience was worn out
and he broke the engagement. The
Church, which had been successful In
the matter, was, Of course, entitled to
the bride ; and about this time some
controversy arose between our Govern.
ment and the State authorities at Der
lin. which ended In the recall Of the
old Minister, the only one, although q
Catholic, to adhere with enthusiasm to
the cause Of the Federal Government
during the dark days Of the rebellion.

OREdoS Is starting an Independent

peared In the Oregonian Of that day a
call Issued by the Douglas County Con-
vention, for an Independent State Con-
vention, to be held on the 10Th OF April
next. The dispatch says that In some
Of the counties the Independent move-
ment has already been lnaugurated,
contemplating the election Of delegates
to a State Convention, and In others
only the nomination OF local tickets.
The call for the State Convention
makes provision for these differences,
so that delegates may be chosen by the
Conventions already called. Douglass
county nominated a full Independent

tion,. Perhaps the web-feet are an-

GUBERNArORIAI.

There arc now two candidates for
Governor Of Nevada much spoken OF
In Democratic circles, to-wit: The
present incumbent, Governor Bradley,
and Col. A. c. Ellis, Of Carson, whom
tho Eureka Sentinel presents to the
people As 4 fitting incumbent for that
office. We do not know whether or
not other candidates Of the Democratic
persuasion will try their strength In
the next State Convention OF that par
~. Doubtless, however, there are
those, who, like Barkis, are "willin,"
should they see q gllmmcr Of hope for
obtaining the nomination. It strikes
US that the game begins early this year;
that Ii Is q long time before election,
and that two months hence Will be
time enough to commences tho battle.
However, 1t seems thus far that the on
" contest 10 inside the Democratic par
", within the inner sanctuary OF
which organization thcrs appear to DO
severe and bitter controversies and hos
tile aud antagonlstic interests. Some
OF our exchanges, especially those OF
tho Independent persuasion, are anx-
ious for tho Republican candidates to
DO "trottsd out" We arc not aware
that any special candidate on the Re-
publican side has made claim to tho
position. That there will be several
good men rs candidates before the Re-
publican State Convention we are as
sured. Doubtless their names will be
announced in tine for public criticism;
for full discussion OF their merits.
and ventilation Of their dement's. It
will not take tho opposition press eight
monthst to pick flaws In any human being
who may aspire to high office. There
will be time enough for that during
the coming Summer, and, In our opin-
Ion, he Is not wise who sets himself up
for a target eight months before an
election. There are many good men
In tho State Of Nevada, who would
honor the position OF her Chief Ex-
ecutive. and those Republicans whose
aspirations tend In this direction will
doubtless be heard Of In time for the
Autumn contest. Until they are ready
to themselves, we surely
shall not put them forward nor press
their claims. Suffice II to say-ths
Republican party will nominate a can
didats for Governor. II he Is q good
and true man, n In whom the peo-
pie may trust, on whose honesty they
may rely. In whose ability they can
safely conflds, and whose record Is
such A. to give assurance to the public
that he will be faithful to his decla-
ratlons Of principle, we shall most
heartily support him. We believe the
Republican party will nominate such
an one. We know there arc many
such In Its membership. iwe are ac-
quainted with some. and at the proper
time may express eur choice for the
position.
