Very romantic was the way i'll which
the Emperor of Austria became acquainted
with his wife. 1t was expected that
Francis Joseph would become affianced to
his cousin the Princess Sophia, eldest
daughter of Duke Macmillan Joseph of
Bavaria, and he went to his uncle's castle
to make her acquaintance. The Princess
Elizabeth was then only fifteen, and very
beautiful. So as she had three older sisters
of less attractions, she was commanded to
stay with her governess and not show her.
self during the visit of her Austrian cousin.
But being gay, and brimful of curiosity to
see the youthful Emperor, she hid herself
in a corridor along which the imperial
guest, who had just arrived, and was then
dressing for dinner in rooms set apart for
his reception, would have to pass in going
to the banquetiug hall. AS the young
sovereign passed along this corridor, the
princess, who was watching for him, sprang
cut of her hiding place, laughing at the
success of her manoeuvre, and crying, gayly,
Cousin Franz! Cousin Franz! | wanted
to see you, and they wouldn't let me, and
so I hid myself here to see you 60 by,
The young Emperor fell in love with the
beautiful vision on the spot, and soon
entered the drawing room with his young
cousin on his arm. and presented her to
the amazed circle of relatives and courtiers
who we're awaiting his appearance as the
Empress of Austria, my engaged wife,"

in silent vastness: the sonnd Of its waves

along the horizon, like the slow beat of the
pendulum in the tall clock of our grand

looking at our watches. When both hands
came together at twelve (midnisht) the full
round orb hung triumphantly above the
waves, a bridge of gold running due north,
spanning the water between us and him,
There he shone in silent majesty, which
know no setting. We involuntarily took
off our hats; no word was said. Combine,
if you can, the most brilliant sunrise and
sunset you ever saw, and the beauties will
pale before tue gorgeous coloring which
now lit up the ocean, heaven and noun
tain. In half an hour the sun had swung
up perceptibly on his beat, tie colors
changed to those of morning, Il fresh bre eye
rippled over the flood, one songster after
another pipped up in the grove behind us
we had slid into another day."

This is one of the busiest littleetowns
on the desert, as here are located ex.
tremely rich coal mines. One hundred
and fifty Chinese were placed in these
mines within the last year, to supply
the deficiency of workmen occasioned
by the strike of the Golfers. One hun
bred men of the Caucasian race-when
they are washed-are still retained up
on the old footing, of from four to six
dollars per day. Many times the strik-
ers have regretted their hallucination,
as it is found that the Celestials can &C.
complish an equal amount of labor at
lower wages.
The three mines now operated are
Nos. l and 2 by the U. P. company, and
the Excelsior by Snow s. Blair, Bros
in the lower town. The U. P. ''struck
a corner'' in coal at this point, and is
now taking out fifty loads per day Of
hard coal not excclled west Of the Mis-.
sissippi in quality.
