The attorney found him very bright and
prompt, and employed him. The boy
proved faithful and earnest in the discharge
of such business as was given him to do.
By-and-by the boy, when he had been adj
mitted to sleep in the Office, expressed a de-
sire to learn to write. The attorney rugged

copies, also assisted him at times by per-
sonal instructions. The boy developed a
clear, bold and beautiful hand, and by the
time he was fifteen he had become correct

He was then transferred to the inner
Office, and set at the work of writing inn

Old Love Relinalsa--A vEaahlnston no


The wedding was that Of 1Ir. Conger,
member Of Congress from Michigan, with
Mrs. Sinley, widow Of Major Sibley, United
States army. She was Miss HUMPHREYS,
daughter of Judge HUMPHREYS Of the
Supreme Court Of the State of Ohio, and
twenty-seven years ago was afiancod to Dir.
Conger, then handsome, blooming youth.
They quarreled and parted. In six months
the quarrel was forgotten, and they were
again engaged. Miss Humphries was
pretty, belle, and a fiirt. Her flirting pro
pensities did not please Mr.. Conger, and he
demonstrated with her. Being a high
spirited girl, she again and finally broke the
engagement, telling him she would never
marry him.
married. Major Sibley lived twelve years.
There were no children, and after his death
she went abroad. Mrs. Conger lived a few
years, and left three children. In October,
weary of European life, Mrs. Sibley deter
mined to return to her home in Cincinnati.
On arriving in New York it occurred to her
to come to Washington for few weeks.
Oh, woman, how mysterious are thy WAYS
One day, time hanging YEARLY on her hands,
she wandered CD TO Congress- course,
never uftainLuS that IN TINS august pouy sat
her affinity. An hour passed the debates
were prosy and tedious; so gathering her
wraps about her, she was preparing to
leave the gallery, when there was tap on
her shoulder. Turning, who did she behold
but the lover of her youth.
After commonplace greetings in an agi-
tated voice, she made the inquiry, 81 sup
pose your family are with youl" did you
not know that my wife was deadi' With
tragic start she averred that she did not.

The engagement was very brief, and the
happy twain were united last Saturday

me BamDoo Tree,.


Probably this tree subserves more pur-
poses of usefulness than any other in the
whole range of nature The Indian obtains
from it part of his food, many of his
household utensils, and a wood at once
lighter and capable of bearing greater strains
than heavier timber of the same size. Be-
sides, in expeditions In the tropics under
the rays of vertical sun, bamboo trunks
have more than once been used as barrels,
in which water, much purer than could be
preserved in vessels of any other kind, is
fresh for the crew. On the western coast
of Southern Asia, the bamboo furnishes all
the materials for the construction of houses,
at once pleasant, substantial, and preferable
to that of stone, which the frequently
recurring earthquakes bring down upon the
heads of the owners. The fact that the
bamboo is hollow has made IL eminently
useful for a variety of purposes-it serves
as measure for liquids, and IL fitted
with lid and bottom, trunks and bar
rels are quite frequently made of it. Even
small boats very often are made of the
largest trunks by strengthening them with
strips of other wood where needed In one
day they obtain the height Of several feet,
and with microscope their Development
can be easily watched. But the most re-
markabla feature about the bamboo Is their
blossoming. With all this marvellous
rapidity Of growth they bloom only twice
in a century, the flower appearing at the
end Of fifty years. Like other grasses, they
die after having borne seed The high
est of the bamboo is the iSgmaa0t. In
tracts where it grows in the greatest per-
fection, it sometimes rises 70 the height Of
one hundred feet, with stem only eli hteen
inches in diameter at the base The wood
itself is only an inch in thickness

RETURNED. NJ. A. Taylor returned
from the North Thursday morning, after an
absence of several weeks. The Doctor was
delegate to the American Medical Associa-
ton which met in Detroit, and after its ad
journment he visited different sections in
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Canada; and
everywhere he found lively interest mani
tested in Texas The Doctor thinks that inn
migration to Texas will be ten-fold heavier
the coming fall and winter than ever before.
Our railroad connections with the balance of
the Union have become generally known, and
the capitalists of the older States, who for
years have been accumulating fortunes by in
vesting in wild lands in the Western States
and Territories, and holding them until those
countries were cut up with railroads and
flooded with people seeking homes, have, we
are glad to learn from DR.. Taylor and others,
turned their eyes towards this State. Let
them come, we have lands enough for both
spectators and cultivators-lands that are
not only rich in their productiveness, but
cheap in price. All we need to make Texas
one Of the first States in the Union is more
capitalists, manufactures, people and rail-
roads

ScRAPERs-W yesterday saw wagon
load of scrapers in the street, and we thought
we would interview-not the scrapers, but the
man in charge of the same. He was not a
lawyer, doctor, merchant or an editor, but
laboring man, and therefore we believe his
statement came from the purity of his heart.
He informed us that he had been employed on
the Galveston, Houston and San Antonio
Railroad; that with the exception of one cut
the grading had been finished to the San Mar
cos river, about forty miles from this city; that
the bridge would'be finished and the cars run
ming to the west bank Of the river in about
forty days, and that one hundred wagons,
teams and drivers had just been discharged
and were now waiting for somethingto turn
up" We wish it would turn up that they
could be put to work on the International
this week. At Luling, which is to he the ter
minus for some months, quite town is being
already built. and lots are now Offered for
