A ROmance Of Real Life.

In New York, in 1896, John Mowalt was
an extensive dealer in shoes. His foreman
was John Peluse, who sat behind the coun-
Ter stitching shoes aud waiting on CUSTOM
ers as they stepped in. One day corpse
vas fOunu in the dock, at the foot Of the
street. The coroner took the iurymen
| from the neighboi hood, among them John
Mowntt and his foreman, John Peuse.
The corpse lay on the table in the centre OF
The room. Some of The jurymen remarked
that as soon as John Peluse looked on the
corpse he started, turned pale, and look ed
as IL he was going to faint. He rallied,
b owever; but his subsequent movements
o ccasioned some curious remarks. The
jury, after having rendered verdict OF
death by drowning, was discharged. Now
ait turned around TO look for his foreman,
but he was not there. He stepped out-of-
doors and saw Peluse high up The street on
hall-run, when he quickly turned cor
ner. All sorts Of inquiries were made,
but nothing could be heard Of him. This,
witA his turning pale at the first view OF
the corpse, occasioned some strange sur
prise among the jurors for many days af-
terward.
John Mowatt was bachelor of thirty
five, and Peluse had seen about thirty
summers. On a certain day, about one
month thereafter, a lady in deep mourn
ing stepped into Mowalrs store and ask ed
for pair of shoes. While John was try
ing how the shoe lifted, the lady inquired:
"You had a man in your store-John
ht, ha. -
hm2'
YES" said Mowall; "but what has be-
come of himH l would give good deal TO
learn. lie then related the story as above
stated.
"Slrange !" replied tue lady. "And you
have not seen him since?''
"No," replied Mowait, 81 have not seen
him since"
"Yes, you have seen him r. replied the
lady.
IL certainly" said Mowatt, would not
contradict lady of your appearance; but
l have not seen hinl-lo my knowledge"
"Well, them" said she, "I am John Pc

the inquest was the corpse of my husband.

of my parents) John Connor, a sober, in
dustrious man, by trade shoemaker. He
took TO drinking, neglected his business,
and once struck me while in liquor. We
had no family; so l resolved, while we
were stitching shoes together, to learn his
trade and leave him. soon made pass
able shoe, when l assumed male attire,
went to New York, and you gave me work
as journeyman. The rest you know"
John Mowatt on hearing this was dumb
founded.
"Well, madam p said John, "what are
your plans for the futureH"
81 have not yet formed any plans" said
she.
"Well," said John, 81 liked you as a
journeyman and when my foreman was
pleased. Suppose we now go into partner
ship for life9"
In forty-eight hours thereafter they were
married. She was a fne-looking woman
and might have passed for twenty-five.
This, perhaps, is the first instance on rec
ord OF woman's sitting as a coroner's ju-
ryman on the corpse of her husband.

Miscellany.
Called by the Angels.

Called ny the Angels.
The farmers wife is sitting alone
In the dusk Of winters day,
while over the hills the shadows fall
And over the meadows gray
And the cares Of many busy hour
Steal fast from her heart away.
Her eyes have wandered through mist Of tears
To the church-yard under the hill,
Where the snow, like the wings Of brooding dove
Lies soft and pure and still,
And where her treasures, so long ago,
She laid at the Masters will.
And Ahl how oft, as the days go by,
She starts, as her listening car
Has almost caught, on the paseing breeze,
Voices so sweet and clear.
/" Tis the angels calling" she thinks. "Ah mel
tits weary waiting here"
The farmer comes from his work, at last,
In the dusk Of 4 winters day,
And he sits him down by his faithful wife,
And she parts bis locks 80 gray,
And looks in his face with loving smile
That years steal never away.
And back again, as her dim eyes turn
To tue hills whore the shadows fall,
She thinks, my treasures are lying there.
But He has not taken them all.
Since one is waiting beside me still
Till the augels' voices CALL"
But The weeks are slow, and the aged two
In the dusk Of many a day,
VIII watch the shadows come and go
o'er the meadows cold and gray,
Ere they, at the Masters will, may lie
whore their treasures are laid away.

Mining Matters.

They have gone sixteen feet in solid ore without the sign of 8 wall on either side. Samples taken out a few days since assayed respectively at the rate .of $50, Sl60 and Si50, per ton. Mr Bartlett has the strongest kind of faith that the Jacket is the most valuable mine known in Arizona at this time
 We fully believe be is right and ex pressed the same opinion over a year ago. The stamps which went down lon the Montana, at the time she was burned last December, have been re- covered and are due al tle Ostrich mill any day. When received, they will be put at work, and we have no doubt a large weekly cleanup of gold will be the result.
