A Romance of Real Life.
[From the St. Paul Pioneer Press ]


When our now prosperous city was in
its infancy young blacksmith and his
wife lived near the junction of what is
now North First street and Hennepine
avenue. Not successful in business at
that time, the young husband, whose
real name was John Felix, though ne
ever bore the most tender affection for
his young wife, as the sequel shows,
started for the Far West with the deter
mination TO obtain wealth and ihdepen-
dence. Here he remained until the
breaking out of our civil war, when he
enlisted and became a Union soldier.
While under the command of Gen. Sher-
nan he met a comrade from our city,
who told him of the sad mlsgivings of
his former wife aud of her marriage
(Who Tor some reason had never heard
from him, though he had written her
several letters J, TO second husband.
Felix then informed his cemrade that he
should never return to his home until
he had acquired the Independent for
tune he had first unsuccessiully strlV ed
TO obtained. Upon the close OF the war
he once more turned his sOrrowlul foot
steps toward the West and there soon
| laiQ The basis of that fortune he had SO
| long been searching for. Starting on a
ranch in Wyoming Territory, his flock
grew in number, and fortune smiled as
| blandly as his ambition could desire,
and he was, most naturally, as time
pas sed, overcome with the desire To
visit once more thespot where his hap.
piest moments had been spent. About
| six months since he wrote to his son
who at the time happened to reside near
Minneapolis, and received the letter
| The boy who was an infant at the time
of his tatheTs departure, and never

meaning, and gave it to his mother, VINO
| instantly recognized The writing, anG
with woman's nature, her first love SC
l.dwelt in her heart that she told hel
second husband, without Il moments
warning, that -.e could
LIVE WITH HIM NO LONGER.
During the Ween past Jonn FelX, after
an absence OF over eighteen years, re-
turned TO our city, and having Learned
that she who was once his wife was
keeping boarding-house on First stree
NORTH, Immediately went thlther. IL,
called and recognized her voice anC
I figure, ana those charms he hau ADMIRED
in days past. He appealed to her cnarI
ty by telling her that he mad no money
She told him he was welcome to such fare

change in the condition of things; and
the prices Of commodities declined in
due proportion. And yet it has become
common to regard goldas fixed, and to
charge these fluctuations upon silver;
from which its unsuitableness for the
purposes Of money is argued. Whereas,
the truth is, that by the changes in the
value OF gold, silver has seemed to vary
in its values, but has in reality stood
still, as to all mercantile commodities;
and was thus actually more stable
standard than gold was.

BAsswooD FOR BEEs.-Eyery bee
keeper is probably aware OF the fact
that bees, in regions where the common
bass wood or linden tree abounds, gather
large quantities OF the finest honey from
these tloWers. Knowing this, we often
thought it strange that farmers did not
plant these trees more abundautly for
shade and ornament about their
grounds. Early ,autumn-so soon as the
leaves are ripe or begin to fall from the
trees-is as good Time as any to trans
plant these lrees.- Rural New Yorker.

THE yellow lever does not abate its
malignity in Savannah. The prolonga'
tion of warm weather even beyond the
ordinary period OF frosts, has tended to
keep alive the severity OF the pestilence.
Boston has contributed $4,000 Tor the re.
lief of that tfever-stricken city; and other
cities ought to go and do likewise, Gin
cinnati not excepted. 1t is gratifying
to learn that the fever does not spread
to other cities of the South.

Gambling.

This is an ambiguous term, and
really difficult of definition. If the
word gambling, as it is commonly ac-
cepted, is to be taken as meaning
taking chances, as the dictionary says,
playing for money or playing for any
stake or prize, the man does not live
who is not gambler. The San Fran
cisco papers have of late been very
severe in their comments upon what
is commonly termed gambling, and
the Chronicle has censured the prac-
tice very severely and condemned the
State Of Nevada for toleratlng the
practice as it does by license. 1t
Is alleged that from gambling, suicides
and other crimes ensue, and that
more of such occurrences come from
that source than any other cause.
This is an error. There are more cases
of suicide and crime from other causes
in California than there are in Neva-
da, in proportion to the population of
the two States. Men will gamble, the
law to the contrary notwithstanding.
The most prominent men in the coun-
try, in financial point of view, are
gamblers, in one sense of the word.
JAY GOULD, VANDERBILT, DANIEL
DREW, SHARON and u host of others
are gamblers in one sense, and the
stock games that they put up are
much worse than faro, as the ruined
fortunes of their victims will demon
strate. In Nevada the licensing of
gambling produces an increase OF thir-
ty thousand dollars per year for the
school fund, which is beneficial con-
tribution, and seldom do we hear of
crime, misery or suicide in that COM
munity from this cause. How many
evils do we hear of from speculation
on California street? The record
shows they are multitudinous. Is 1t
not better to license an evil, if it NAV
be so termed, than to appear to
frown down an existing fact that
cannot be removed by legisla-
ton? We do not propose to defend
what is popularity termed gambling,
nor claim that it is not immoral and
predjudicial to the public welfare, but
there should always be observed con-
sistency in all things. Men will gam
ble-let them pay for their ventures
by taxing them by license. 1t is real
ly no more moral crime to win your
neighbours money at faro or roulette
than it is to rob him of his fortune by
putting up job on Ophir. We con-
slider the latter by far the worse prac-
tice Of the two.

Tilden and Blaine.

BLAINE appears not only to have
f,oored his antagonists, but to have
dealt them such sturdy blows that
they are unable to answer the call OF
time. BLAIEE has been badly used,
and we are real glad to know that he
has broken the chains which CoNK-
LING, BRIsTow and GRANT had
wound about him. His nomination
at the hands of the Cincinnati Con-
vention may be recorded as almost
certain. 1t is amusing to read the ar
ticles of those journals, OF which the
Express of this city Is one, that call
themselves "independent" and yet
are always trucking for Republican
patronage. A few days ago they
could find no terms sufficiently oppro-
brous to apply to BLAINE. He was
fraud, swindle, trickster, cheat,
humbug, a bribe taker, a dishonest
man and not worthy the consideration
of the Republican party as candidate
for the Presidency. Now they sing a
different song, and without exception
slobber over and fawn upon him.
Good little boys. You will never give
any man or party trouble that has
money to buy you. We are pleased
that BLAINE has come out all right.
TILDEN will now have an intelligent,
possibly honest and respectable oppo-
nent to beat. With these two candi-
dates, both parties will put forth their
every energy, and the contest will be
lively and spirited. TILDEN will win
the victory of course, but he will have
to fight for 1t.
