Very plain. very proper, and very

thought OF the anajr. Among the more
intimate friends Of the happy couple
considerable surprise was manifested, a
it was well known that The two had never
met bu, 4 few times. save in the street.
UsHERING IN \ ROMANCE.
The circumstances connected with this
really romantic affair are given below.
Last Monday afternoon. Mr.. Jo. Stone, a
well known young man. met Miss Sallie
Belle Martin and a lady friend on Main
street, proposed walk to the bluff, from
which point fiue view can be had o! the
mighty river which lave, their base, and
the AtAausas shore, already putting on
thc bcSa,ilJ', fresh garb OF spring. 1t
was lovely afternoon, and the THO spent
Il half hour on the bluff, watching the
hundreds OF steamboat laborers at their
lee,, al. busy loading and unloading the
floating palaces and commenting on tie
varied scenes in The panorama stretched
before them. Turning back and coming
down Madison street, 4 gentleman ac-
QuaintAnce WAS met who, alter few
minutes chat, walked away with the lady
friend referred TO, leaving Mr.. Stone and
our heroine together. Walking down
Main street, Mr.. Stone purchased n
pocSetful OF nuts, with which he and
Miss Martin, going into Court Square,
gave the lrolicsomc squirrels least.

THE OLD SUBJECT.

Thing of thai, the two walked up
Second street, laughing and chatting,
until reaching the Calvary church, when,
the conversation CHANGING TO be on things
matrimonial, Mr.. Stone in 4 tone Of
r;iUery, said;
Miss SAlIic. dare you to go across
the street and get married"
TIE banter WAS promptly accepted in
the same spirit, and in high gee the two
crossed the street and entered the church,
in which services were being held at the
time. Not seeing any manifestation Of
ialteriug on the lady's part, Mr.. Stone
whispered:
al give up; YOU have beaten me; let
US go;" and the two ie!raced their steps
to Court Square, where they met the
couple prev yiously referred 10. They had
package Of candy, and Mr.. Stone asked
for some which they jokingly refused.
Very well. Miss Sallie, we will 60 and
buy package tor ourselves
They accordingly went to Specht'o on
Madison street, and bought the confec-
lions. Coming out, they saw mix
wagon standing in the alley Alongside ol
the store.

Salic, "ior | thought him such nice
gentleman the other night at party, and
would like to see him again"
Retracing their steps they went into
the store and inquired after Mr.. Martini

Being tod that he was somewhere
near, they again went into the street. and
met the gentleman sought on the side

of social conversation ensued, when Mr.

HAS Rr.OWN OVER?

We have the assurance of all the DEM
ocratic loca! papers that the reports which
were rife Oh the streets concerning GER
tain proposed changes in the State gov.
eminent have no foundation in fact. The
Tines. furthermore. has interviewed
Messrs. MARI and Wilt on the subject.
each of whom denies all knowledge of any
plan for setting aside any Of the present
State officials and placing others in their
stead. either by Impeachment or other
wise. We can only account for this in
one or the other Of two ways. Either
those who first originated the brilliant
idea have been careful to keep it dark
from the more responsible leaders Of the
party, and have now abandoned it for an
other combination which has since formed
the staple Of politica! chit chat. or it was
nipped in the bud so early in its Incl
piency that i: may be well said it was
never heard of. We are glad to hear.
however. that no fresh attempts at reyo-
luton are to be made, and that hereafter
the Democracy will a: least talk of law.
As for the new plan OF procedure which
is said to be under discussion. it is pre-
mature to talk OF that a: present. 1t may
develop into shape and consistency. or
be talked Of for time and laid aside. like
the insane proposition to attack the United
States troops. which was sesiouly dis
c,.ssed by thousands il. September. Prob
ably 20: man could now be found who
wants the ''wLoie United States army" to
come and be whipped all at once. Yet
the heroic orators Of The horse cars enter.
tanned the lady passengers and enhanced
their own Importance By Just such talk a
little more than two months ago. Our
political warehouses a:e like the Wash.
ington paten: office. They are packed
full 0: rejected models which. never paid
first cost to the inventor. though We notice
that politician sooner abandons an TN.
popular idea than an honest, but visionary
mechanic a worthless model. We have
assisted in nipping many wild scheme
in the bud, and shortly after met the
positive denial tia: any such thing had
ever been seriously thought Of. Possibly
our next revolution has been postponed.
as the denials have certainly come to hand.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER g. 1874

the Bulletin received priced accession to
its repertoire of stale and vapid sensation.
We fail to find. howeyes. in the published
tale anything very narrowing. 1t was a
rather wearisome recital without point or
object. or. if any, it was not made to
appear. Perhaps the Bulletin suppressed
the essential part. If SO, and this can be
produced, We hope it will be forwarded
to the com mittee that has been looking
around anxiously for the past few days to
find somebody who knows something
tangible about this alleged scandal. Let
our neighbors reco!lect that this IS not a
question the public wish TO decide upon
.: poy'e or Learsay evidence. If there is
any person who can allege aught against
either Of the parties accused by the Bull
'sti. Oh tie authority OF . witness who has
since declared that she never saw ANY,
thing improper, let him come forward
now. for time is passing rapidly. and 4
decision must be arrived at early next
week. Let the committee have all the
evidence. Messrs. Editors. and do not feel
SO nervous abou: it. You are not on
trial. For if this case should all end in
smoke no unusual blame will attach to
you. 1t will pass Of as another failure.
The public will soon forget they were de-
ceived into the expectation of hearing
something racy. and come to the task of
going through with anything fresh you
may have in the same line with unins-
paired zest. But you can not expect a
committee Of impartial directors to con-
denim anybody merely because you want
it so, without giving them any other reason
for il. That would be unfair, and is little
likely to be done. Send il your evil
dence.
