Quite q Romance.

About six weeks ago Superintendent of
Police Hickey received letter from a
man named Gilmore, in Utica, N. Y, APP
parent1y a lawyer, inquiring for Mrs.
Fannie Brown, aged twenty-five years.
The letter was referred to the detective
department, but inquiry failed to develop
explains that she had fallen heir to $1O,-
600 by the death of an uncle, and her
Whereabouts was anxiously sought for.
After time the letter of inquiry was for
gotten, and the affair had almost passed
out of the memory of the officers, when
this morning an elderly lady arrived from
the East and soon after appeared at the
detective office. The lady stated that she
was the mother Of the Mrs. Brown about
whom inquiry had been made, and she
showed tin type picture of her daugh-
ter. By strange coincidence, John
Paine, clerk, and Detective Elliott recog-
nized the picture as that of lady they
had recently seen on the street, and they
started out in search of her, and their ef-
fort was a success, as she was almost
miraculously met on Madison street after
a few minutes stroll by the officers. They
accosted her, and informed her that her
mother wished to see her at Police Head
quarters. The lady said that coulo not
be, as she had 40 mother. The officers
showed her the picture, which she said
was OF her, and asked where it was OBJ
tanned, and on being informed she pro-
ceeded to headquarters, where she was
convinced her mother lived, and a very
affecting scene occurred. The mother and
daughter had not met for nineteen years
not since the latter was six years old, and
Mrs. BROWNE had been led to believe her
mother was dead. The fortune was left
her by deceased uncle, and she leaves
for Patterson, N. j., this evening to claim
it. Mrs. Brown is a woman of elegant
appearance, brunette of much more
than ordinary intelligence and refinement.
She has been a resident of Chicago two
years.-Chicago Journal.

1T SUNSET.

There comes a night. o dear and true!
Along the path that we pursue
Its shad Nv drinks the morning dew;
We see ii creep
Across the living bloom we tread,
\ thing too fugitive to dread,
And yet We weep
Light tears for rainbow uses meet:
lia't-fcars. that quicken failing heat,
And prick our lazy bliss TO sweet
Sclf-consciousness,
That else might sometimes in a trance.
Too prodigal of time and chance,
Forget to bless!
1t in mid heaven hung our sun.
Ii all our path were over-rnn
With flowers that missed the graces won
From shadows gray.
Beloved. thou mightst fail to keep
My feet from falling on the steep
And dusty way,
Nor always guard mine eyes from tears.
In the wide margin of those years
Where all the room for speech appears
That love doth crave.
The silent speech OF hand to hand
Might be less dear, in that strange land
That had no grave.

A PLEA FOR NATIVE TREEs.-It is q
shame that there exists necessity for
eulogizing our native evergreens, but so it
is; our people seem to think them too
common for their yards and lawns, and so
these really handsome trees are neglected
almost entirely. Their value in an orna-
mental point of view is misunderstood,
mainly on account Of the appearance of
the wild specimens growing generally to-
gether in a mass, or else from various
causes becoming mutilated, or possibly
from the uncongenial character Of the soil.
A healthy young plant cultivated in tho
nursery and carefully removed shows a
character that astonishes the skeptic in
every instance. 1t developes itself into a
regularly formed tree, possessing fright
healthy color and is always an object of
beauty, not at all thrown into the shade
by many of its Transatlantic cousins

THE nickel cent Is no longer coined,
and the two-cent bronze piece, which, by
the way, was very convenient, was abol-
ished in the act of 1878. The fact that
large quantities of two-cent bronze are in
circulation misleads many business men.
They may be sent to the Mint at Philadel-
phia for redemption, but when they are
so sent they are sent to the melting-pot.
The bronze one-cent piece is also subject
to redemption at the Mint, but unless mu-
tilated or otherwise unfit for circulation
it is cleansed and reissued. The same is
the case when nickel coin of the denOmi-
nation of three or five cents are forwarded
for redemption. II in good condition,
they are cleansed, overlooked and reis-
sued. The nickel one-cent piece goes to
the melting pot when sent for redemption.
II proved too clumsy.

Afforded useful commentary and test of
the value of other and purely circumsten-

were enclosed in the bag along with the
remains were of foreign make and were
cut and torn in numerous places. No
definite clue was ever obtained which
could lead to the detection of the murder

crime. The remains were thought to be
those of Swedish sailor, whose disap-
pearance might cause little or no stir even
among his associates; while the mere fact
OF his disappearance in foreign land
would also initiate against the chances
OF MS identity being established. A sup

WASHINGTON, August 14.-Mr. Randall
submitted report of the Conference Com
mittee on the Indian Appropriation Bill,
and it was agreed to. He then proceeded
to make a few general remarks on the
several appropriation bills. The Speaker
laid before the House message from the
President in regard to the River and Harbor
Bill, stating that if it has been compulsory
on him to expend the money therein appri-
sted, he would have vetoed it, but as it was
not he would take care no public money
should be expended on useless works, or
upon any that are not clearly national. The
message created quite a sensation. The
message, after heated discussion, was
referred to the Committee on Commerce !;
and the House took recess until o'clock.
