They had not met for years. Once, they
had leaned over the self-same garden gate,
and sat side BY side on the old-fashioned
hair cloth sofa, whispering those platitudes
which young love makes OF such breaihless
Interest, while the kerosene lamp was turned
down to the faintest glimmer compatible
with perfect propriety.
He had said that her image, and hers
alone could fill the void which absence from
her left in his heart; and when, after unit
terable agonies of broken but Impassioned
English. he had said that he adored her, she
had gently reclined her head upon the home
starched shirt-bosom that creaked about his
manly breast, he having, with great pres
ence Of mind, placed his handkerchief
thereon, in view Of possible pomatum.
And then he had taken the assurance that
she reciprocated his affection, from her own
lips. and he remarks with a sad smile that
her breath was family suggestive ef fried
onions eaten the previous day; but in those
heavenly gold-plated moments he thought
that the odor Of violets in spring was ex-
hailed from her rosy lips.
He went rway TO work; they correspond
ed until, from two letters a week, the CORE
spondence dwindled down TO the exchange
Of casual newspaper, and then silence.
She finally married-so did he.
And now that they have met, before his
heart had done beating, he saw that instead
of the sweet girl with brown hair and q
1.-the, wiIlowy grace, which somehow he had
dreamed OF encountering, there stood a
stout lady wsth false front, who said:
We'll, james, l do declare. How old
you've growed, and how gray you be-"
And he had replied, Well, Hannah, l
never should have known you. How stout
you are"

Dom Pedro
From the Albany Journal. !

INT OouAA.AA'i
The visit of the Emperor, and the fine
display Brazil is making at the Centennial
are awakening considerable interest in re-
gard to that country, which is the greatest
in South America. Its aggregate popula-
ton is ten millions. From one-quarter TO
one-third of it is white. Formerly there
were large population of slaves. But I'M
der the humane and enlightened policy OF
the Emperor, that class now numbers less
than a million. \ system OF gradual
emancipation has been adopted, which will
before many years, blot out the last remnant
OF this twin-relic OF barbarism. Law is
well maintained in all parts OF the empire
Education is fostered and most hopeful
state of affairs exists throughout the land.
The public debt is FIVE hundred million
dollars, but as it costs only forty millions
to run the government, leaving large eI-
cess from the revenues to apply towards
decreasing the debt, the finances are in a
healthy condition. Its exports TO this
country are four times as much as the i'm
ports from us as, up to the present time,
the custom has been to send its raw products
to the United States and buy manufactured
goods in England. 1t is probable, however,
that one effect of the Emperor's visit in
connection with our great industrial show
will be TO commend our wares SO favorably
to Brazil as to create an important demand
therefor The trade of that country is well
worth having, and the present opportunity
should be used TO the best advantage TO
secure il,

Proud Of His Pastor.
From the Boston Traveller.

An aged and excellent Christian man.
beloved by all who knew him, recently be-
walled the fact that his talented pastor,
whom he much loved, would persist in
owning and driving fast horses, and even
claimed to have some of the fastest and
best in New England. Talking TO friend
the other day, he said: 'Only think Of it,
he goes out to the mildam and drives fast
there, and even races, and they do say
wore than that, he goes to the race course
and drives his fast horses there. 1t is too
bad, isn't il? ?" 81 don't know about that,
was the response, but l know he goes to
the tracks, for / saw him there the other
day, driving his favorite horse against an
other fine anemal." The friend proceeded
at some length to describe a very closely
contested and interesting race, dwelling on
the last portion of it, where the animals
were about even, when he was interrupted
by the inquiry, "Well, we'll; how did it
end? Who beat: Who beat 7" "Oh, your
pastor !" was the reply, and description
was given of the magnificent closing squirt
with which the race was won. "Did he
beat ?" said the now excited old gentleman,
"are you suer he beat?" "Yes." was the
reply. "Good! That's goodI' he ex.
claimed, as his face beamed with joy.
"That's almost too good to be true. know
our pastor is true grit, and wish he
wouldn't race homes. But if he will race,
1 do love to have him win. love him so
well l want to have him succeed in every-
thing"

J. v. Wintrode Of Topeka, Murdered by
Indians in the Back Hills.
From the Topeka Commonwealth
About three month ago party of Topeka
gentlemen, among whom were John Cline,
Louis Cline and J. V. Wintrode, went to
the Black Hill country. John Cline was a
restaurateur, and in company with Peter
Cline kept the dining station st the Santa
Fedepot. Mr.. Wintrode was photograph
er and for several years was in the employ
of Capt. J. Lee Knight. His mother,
brothers and sisters now live in Topeka
John Cline writes TO Capt. Wintrode, of
this city, from Custer City, dated May 9Th,
that J. V. Wintrode, Louis Cline and Mr.
Gill were murdered by Indians about. the
latter part OF April. They left Gustav
City on the 9th of April, with two
loads Of goods Tor Sand Creek. One of the
teams and contents belonged 10 John Cline
While passing through a narrow canon
about two miles from Mount City, they
were attacked by a party of Indians and
killed, and the stock and goods captured.
A party from Sand Creek went out and Sc
cured the bodies and dccentIy inferred
them. Mr.. Cline says that over 100 white
men had been murdered in the Hills du-
ring the previous week by the Indians;
that the miners can't work, are unable TO
obtain supplies, and are absolutely starv-
Ing for the want OF food. Mr.. Cline
furthermore states that at Dead Wood the
miners are averaging from $50 to 500 to
the man daily, and that they are rich dig
gins all over that country. Mr.. Cline is
going to Georgetown, Colorado. Mrs. Cline
is now with friends at Newark, Ohio.
Mr.. WiLtrode had lived in Topeka many
years and was an honorable and estimable
young man. His DISTRESSED relatives have
the warmest sympathy OF everybody.

Dom Pedro and the Lady.


With one exception-an account Of which
it is the purpose OF this article to give-it
is not known that Dom Pedro, of Brazil,
during his brief sojourn in San Francisco,
wrote, for private curiosity or public in
spection, line, or a single word, either Of
his own motion or upon the spur Of extran-
eous influences. Yet he might have given
steady employment to corps of clerks for
the single purpose of supplying the demand
for his autograph, which demand was very
extensive, more or less persistent. generally
inconsistent, and occasionally importunate.
1t renamed for Miss -, residing in the
northwestern part of the city-a lady of
high historic, military and aristocratic
lineage-to see the gates of the Imperial
Jericho 20 down before her modest and I'M
pretending approaches. Desiring the auto
graph for friend, and well convinced that
postal communication would be unavailipg,
our heroine resolved 10 beard the South
, American Douglass in his castle halls and
SO, she repaired TO the Palace Hotel, 10 be
at hand when the Emperor should return
from his round of the theaters. This was
Friday afternoon, the day before his depar-
ture East. When his party entered the eie-
vator to go up, the autograph lady also
took a seat and went up in the same boat,
she left the elevator on the same floor with
the Dom's party, and following had no
trouble in locating the Brazilian's apart
ments. She ascertained which was the
Secretary's room, and to him she impaired
her wish to procure the Empsror's auto
graph.
"Ah. you wish the Emperoris autograph
then ?" said the Secretary.
"Yes, sir
1T will be necessary for the lady to re-
duce her request TO writing" said the sec-
rotary. Which concession was a poiut
gained for Miss -, who quietly wrote
and signed the following fertile note:
will the Emperor of Brazil have the
kindness to give his autograph to an Amer
lean iady-0ne who admires the quiet dig
nifty of . great monarch in our dear re-
public!"
How, the utmost the lady expected was
iha the secretary would deliver the note
