A Romance.

A strange romance comes from South
Hero, Vermont, the heroine being lady
well knwn and highly respected in Mariposa
county. It is no less an affair than the mar
riage of Mrs. Nancy Adams (mother OF
JeWett w. Adams, Lieutenant-dovernor OF
Nevada formerly of Mariposa, to her first
love, S. Lyman Dwight, well-to-do hard
ware merchant of South Hero, Vermont,
whom she had not seen for fifty years. They
were both natives of the town named, and in
1887, when Lyman was boy Of seventeen
and Nancy girl of fifteen, Il strong attach
ment sprung up between them. Dwight was
poor boy, and Nancy's family was wealthy
and separated them, the girl being taken ia
Lawrence county, where she subsequently
married Adams (who died at Bear Valley in
1872 while Dwi ght went off as a sailor on
Lake Champlain. In 1849, Adams came to
California, and 1853, when Jewett was boy,
the family followed. Dwight returned to the
little town where he was born, accumulated
fortune, and married one of the village
bellies. Three years ago, Mrs: Dwight died,
and about year ago learning that Mrs.
Adams was q widow, the old love returned,
and Dwight wrote to her. After correspond:
ing for awhile, Mrs. Adams went East, and
on Sunday, the 30th of last month, the lovers
of fifty years ago were married in the church
in the village where they were born. Dwight
is now sixty-seven, and his bride sixty-tive
years of age.

A SAD STORY.
An ErrIng Daughter Of a Famous
Preacher Dies Of Consumption.

(St. Louis Globe Democrat
gentleman from Southeast Missouri be-
ing in the city yesterday, called at the Jail to
visit some of the ''moonshiners" from his
section of the State, now confined there un-
der sentence of the United States Court.
Passing along Ninth street he observed u
bunch of Grape on the door of No., a
well-known place of resort for the violators
of the seventh commandment. tie knew
from the badge of mourning that the mis-
tress of the mansion was deau, and, having
known her in other days, he gave GI00e-
Democrat reporter sketch OF her lite Inc
madam was the daughter of noted minister
of the gospel living in Southeast Missouri,
and at one time stationed in this city. When
the rebellion broke out she was in the bloom
of girhood, residing with her father in Cape
Girardeau County. The preacher espoused
the rebel cause, and Joined the forces OF Je11'
Thompson, the ''Swamp fox" OF the South

Another officer took advantage of her sltua-

ended and the preacher returned to MS

she came to st. Louis to hide her shame. For
several years she led retired life, and then
took house of her own, which she kept in
elegant style. She had made repeated efforts
to become reconciled to her father, but the
stern old man. who in his sermons boasted
that until the day of his conversion he had
been the chief of sinners, refused to receive
her back. For several years she was at.
flicted with consumption, and yesterday found
relief in death. ..... ... ......

TIE ElkO Post descr;loe a;noro,

The E!ko Post describes different styles of
walzlng in vogue in Nevada: If she is from
Caf,n Gar she tn throws Ss her hair back jumps
astonished partner as though Washoe
zephyr had struck him and knocked over all
obstacles in her mad career. A Tuscarora
girl crooks her body in the middle like a
door-hinge, takes her pard by the shoulders
and makes him miserable in trying to hon
around her without treading on her No. .
shoes. A Carson girl will now and then
work in touch of the double shuttle or bit
of pigeon-wing. A Winnemucca girl
creeps closely and ,imidly up to her partner
as if she would like to get into his vest pocket
and melts away with ecstasy as to ''The
Blue Danube" they sweep through tie hall.
An Elko girl is natural wal,zer, and does it
with an abandon that is charming. A Vir-
ginia City girl throws both arms around his
neck, rolls up her eyes, and as she floats
away she is heard to murmer, ''Oh, hug me,
John!'

LOngstreet on Gettysburg.

General Longstreet has written for the Phil
adelphia weekly Times an interesting and
valuable description of the battle of Gettys-
burg. He says that he opposed the march
into Pennsylvania on the ground that the
Western Confederate armies needed assis-
tance, Grant having "bOttled up" one OF
them in Vicksburg. When the two armies
faced each other ut Gettysburg, he advised
General Lee to decline battle, interpose his
army between General Meade's and WASH
ington, and force the latter to make the At
tack But General Lee said: elf the enemy
is there tomorrow we must attack him.
General Longstreet replied: "1f he is there,
it will be because he is anxious that we should
attack him-a good reason, in my judgment,
for not doing So. Longstreet was directed
to make the opening attack. His corps num-
bered $4,000 men. 1t charged up Cemetery
Ridge with such bravery and audacity that
General Meade thought that General Lees
whole army was ut its heels. Reducing his
right wing to one brigade. Meade hurried the
others to the support of his imperiled left,
and forced Longstreet back. When night
came Longstreet found that he had lost 1929
men, or more than one-third of his corps.
Longstreet charges the failure of his assault
to Ewell's inactivity, declaring that If Ewell
had attacked Meade's weakened right wing.
it would surely have been overcome, and the
battle won. He also criticises Picketts as
sault on the second day of the battle, and
says that it was great mistake in General
Lee to order it made.

aien. Miles Don't Swear.
portland Oregonian.l

Portland Oregonian.l
A gentleman in this city, who used to be IN
the United States army and stationed at Fort
Leavenworth in 1878 4, when Gen. Miles was
in command of that post, says that it the re-
port of the language usen by him during the
late battle with the Nez Perces that resulted
in their surrender, as related by Herald
correspondent and published in the Oreg0n'on,
is correct, then Gen. Miles must have changed
his views about profanity very much within
the last three or four years, as when he knew
him he would not permit profanity in his
presence, nor would he allow any OF his OIL
Gers to swear at the enlisted men, and he
often reproved the citizen teamsters for pro-
family. This gentleman says moreover that
Gen. Miles was regular attendant at church,
and he thinks was Christian man.
Gen. Miles is q relative of Gen. Sherman
by marriage, having married niece OF the
General.
The probabilities are that the correspond
ent of the Herald referred to belongs to
numerous class. who seem to think that un-
less an officer can rip and tear and swear and
paw the ground in the presence of hir troops
during action that he cannot succeed in get
ting them up to fighting pitch, all OF which
history, common sense and decency show to
be mistake.

eyed young girl of seventeen. And in half
an hour the two were married and being

PRACTICAL JOKING.
Transformation Scenes I'm Massachu'
SettS.

When Gov. Gerry managed Massachusetts,
country deacon happened to catch fine
salmon, and, knowing that the Governor had
particular liking for that sort OF fish, ne
determined to present it to him. So the SAL
mon was carefully packed, and the deacon,
in the absence of railroads, started in his
wagon for Boston. On the journey he stopped
to dine, and telling at the table his errand in
regard to the fish, a practical joker present
could not resist the temptation OF slipping
out to the wagon and changing the salmon
for poor Goldfish. The unconscious deacon
went on to the Governors house, and, after
announcing his gift, the two worthless opened
the box and discovered the flavorous Goldfish.
Mortified, the poor deacon started for home
with his Goldfish, and stopping for lunch at
his dining place, the wag secretly removed
the Goldfish and replaced the salmon. When
he reached home the deacon mourntully told
the story to an incredulous wife, who had
herself packed the salmon; they opened the
box together. The deacon stared. swell,
you are pretty good salmon when you are
in the country" said he, ''but when you are
in Boston you are miserable Goldfish"

Remark able operation on the Eye.

[From the Pittsburg Commercial
One of the most remarkable operations, as
connected with eye surgery, has just been
made public. Rev. John Sherratt, OF Wat
tersonvllle, Armstrong County, Pa, had
cataract on the right eye, which had been
growing for twelve or fourteen years. Some
four weeks ago he consulted the best surgical
skill of this city, and doubts were expressed
as to the patient being able to endure the op-
Grafton, on account of his age-seventy-Iour:
AS he had strong constitution it was decided
to take the risk, and on the tenth of October
he was put under the influence OF ether.
and the operation was performed. He was
kept in darkened room for some time, and
in exactly three weeks after the operation he
made a trial of eyesight by reading news
paper with the aid of eyeglasses. Now he
has perfect sight, the right eye being still q
little weak. The operation was performed
by DR.. Saddler, of this city.
