Langdon for Olivia; and the refusal
he received chilled but did not dis
hearten him. He simply told the
somewhat indignant parent that he
could wait but he was determined to
marry his daughter. 1t was said of
John Foster, the English writer, and
at mt time the editor Of the London
Examiner, hat his love letters were
the most remarkable ever penned, be-
cause they were written at the i%nstiga-
ton ola young lady whom he wished
to make his wife, but who, knowing
his habituslindolence and at the same
time his pfeat talent, refused to listen
to his addre,sss till he had distin-
guished himself He did SO, and won
a bridep that was proud of
him. Mr.. Clemens case is hard
ly parallel to this, but is similar
in some respects. We think his In
nocents Abroad" was a labor of love
in u degree. 1t made him fame as a
humor writer, and while all the world
was talking about him and his book he
came TO Elmlra, accompanied by an
editorial friend from Cleveland, and
again renewed his suit for Miss Lang
don's hand. This time the old gentle
man listened with more complacency.
The young lady's brother pleaded for
Clemmens, and his Cleveland friend,
who knew Mr.. Langdon very we'll, also
advocated his claims, But more
powerful pleaders. than either of these
was the young lady's own heart, and
for her father, the evidences of capa-
city Mr.. Clemens had given, and also
of reformation of life. A family
meeting was held, and into its charmed
circle the expectant bridegroom gladly
stepped, exchanging Bohemianism for
responsibility, poverty for wealth, the
loneliness of bachelorhood for the
society of married life. He intended
the change SHOULD be complete, for on
some Of the envelopes containing we'd
ding cards, sent to former friends in
California and Nevada, he added to
the address the significant words,
Goodbye"

THE CIVIL SERVICE ORDER.


1t does not always pay a Republican
ofioe-holder to have independence
enough to vote his sentiments. A
notable illustration of this is furnished
in East Tennessee. The first district
has been overwhelmingly Republican
for several years, that is, ever since
the war. The people finally became
Disguised at Radical management, and
Pettibone, a very able man, was de-
feated by Taylor, a young and eloquent
Democrat. Many lifelong Repub-
licans went over to the enemy, so to
speak-that is, they voted their honest
sentiments and Taylor was elected by
a handsome majority. Among the
Republicans who had the temerity
and political hardihood to vote for
Taylor we're a few Federal Office
holders, and notably of this number
was DR.. Bowel, the postmaster at
Jonesboro. 1t was rumored soon after
the election hat such men would be
remembered at Washington. Sure
enough, the doctors official head has
rolled into the basket. A correspond
emit Of the Nashville American, writ
ting from Jonesboro on the 18th ult.
says:
Cur people are Justly indignant at the
action Of the postoffice department in the
removal OF DR.. w. w. Bowel from the
postotice. He has served the people long
and well, and they but show a proper ap-
probation Of his efficiency and integrity
in1the discharge of duty by making an
earnest effort to secure bis retention. At
this time it becomes us not TO speak Of the
fitness or u~nitness of his probable sue
cessor, but we do know that none can give
more general satisfaction than the doctor.
1t is true that a few of the "stalwarts -
have beer greatly dissatisfied. This dis
satisfaction came about from a supposition
on their part that DR.. Bowel had given
aid and comfort" to their successful op-
ponents. Besides this, they evidently
faneied that they were paying off S. A.
Bowel, editor of the Times, on the score
of the last canvass.
1t is ruly to be regretted that SO eff
cient and popular a Republican cannot
hold his position, even after a studied
obedience of the administrations civil
oetyiee order.

nae Apache as a Horse Thier.

OA9C AAAMNNH
An exchange says THE passion
of a contemporaneous American saw
age for stealing is irrepressible. In
order for his indulgence he will risk
his life, and even take large odds
against it, almost any time. The re-
cent feat of an Apache Indian in Ari-
iona illustrates this. An American
had a rancho on which a herd of 400
hne cattle belonging to a fort near by
were nightly kept. To secure them
against the Apaches he had built a
block-house, and adjoining it a court
yard and corral, surrounded by an
adobe wall, Several vain attempts
had been made by the Indians to can-
ture the herd while grazing two or
three miles from the block-house. but
the vigilant herdsmen had driven the
cattle into the corral before they could
be stampeded. One stormy night
however, a solitary Apache, unarmed
and covered only with a blanket.
climbed over the wall, crouehed in a
corner and waited for the day. Soon
after dawn eight herdsmen. mounted
and armed to the teeth, we're ready to
protect the cattle. As these passed
out of the gate the savage sprang up.
vaulted on the nearest horse, clutched
his mane with one hand, and waving
his red blanket with the other. Yelled
like a demon. The horse plunged
into the midst of the herd. which
greatly terrified, fed poll nell, aud the
Apache, throwing himself on one side.
of the rushing animal, rapidly disap-
peared from view. Nothing could
have stopped the wildly speeding cat
tie. The herdsmen fired at the In
dian, but only wounded and killed
some Of the herd, about which two
bands Of Apaches, darling out from
opposite sides Of the valley, soon closed
and drove off, i~rreyocably, every, hcoff.
This feat will add another feather to
the Apache's head, and furnish a
theme for an aboriginal epic.

KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE I'VE
learn from Nashville that Governor
Marks will recommend to the legisla-
ture at its coming session to abolish
the Offices of superintendent of public
instruction, superintendent of the
State capitol, superintendent of the
%penitentiary and the bureau of immi-
grafton and agriculture. This looks
like he was going to apply the pruning
knife rather Unfortunately. If he
does that, the probability is that he
will also recommend a reduction of
judicial salaries, and perhaps a reor-
ganization of the Judiciary, with a
view to the reduction of the number Of
judges. This, however, is mere sur
mise"

RAILROAD DECrsIOH
By the Supreme Court Of Tennes.
see at Nashville, January
"a, 1877.
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Co,
and Nashville, Chattanooga and ST.
Louis Railroad Companies VS..
the State Of Tennessee.

SECTIONS 1119, 1118 AND 1120 OF
THE CODE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 1119.
of the code proceeds, that "All
the railroads of the State have
power to construct their roads
so as to cross each other, if
necessary by the main track or
branches, or to unite each other az
with branches" Held, that the plain
meaning of this section read by the
light of sections Ills and 1120, was
that the various roads might form a
homogeneous system, and that these
roads or any future roads might unite
BY building tracks from one to the
other for the purpose of their loaded
cars.
POWER OF RAILROAD COMPANIES.
This power being conferred on corpo-
rations which had built, or were en-
powered to construct railroads, and
had already the power in SO doing to
exercise the right of eminent domain
and to purchase land for the purposes
of the track, needed no additional
power to be conferred in order to carry
out the objects of the legislature.
NECESSITY OF SECTION 1119.-It
was very necessary to authorize them
to build further in order to make the
connections contemplated, but they
possessed the power already to carry
out the work authorized.

BETTER TIMEs.-Mr. w. II. Pun

business men and capitalists all report
business on tho improve. and are con-
flent the coast 10 on the eve of season
Of prosperity and good times. From
all over tho Eastern States. the same
welcome news comes. and as one por.
ton Of the Union cannot prosper with.
on, more or less affecting the prosper
ity OF the whole. we may confidently
look for u revival OF business in WASH
ington Territory. within . very few
months. A revival OF the lumber trade
would do more to bring about this
hoped for result in Western Washing
ton than anything else. and men whe
pretend to be posted in such matters
assure us that that important branch OF
Industry is almost sure to improve from
this time on. More timber 10 sawed
up in the various mills on the Sound
every day. twice over. than is being
logged and PIT into tho water; hence
the over supply Of logs will soon be
diminished. the market for lumber will
improve. prices go ur. mills run on full
time, many men DO employed in tho
woods. aud ut tho various ports. who
will receive and circulate their wages
regularly, and the consequence will be
that people will be enabled to pay
their debts, beautity their homes. in
crease their stocks of goods, stop pay
ing interest, and enjoy the genuine
prosperity to which We all confidently
look forward.

James Cheston and the British iron
ship EddSrside, both lately arrived aud
coal laden. lying of Front street swung
foul Of one another, and for IN hour
the two vessels were at close quarters.
The James Cheston fret swung into
the Eddersids. striking the latters main
rigging and carrying away her jib-
boom. She then swung across the bow
of the Edderside. Tho jibboom Of the
latter caught in the house Of the Ches-
ton. ran into tho Captain's s,ateroom.
completely cutting it; caught in the
'nizzen rigging. where it was broken
o6-in the meantime having carried
away . portion Of the Cheston's alter
standing rigging. including man
royal backstsy, which brought the
main royal mast. yard and NIL. to the
deck. The vessels then became fast,
and the iron PROV Of the Edderside
striking tho s'srboard quarter of the
James Chcston just forward Of tho
mizzen rigging. first carried away her
rail and then cut through the plank
shear and into the side. cutting he.
down almost to the waters edge. Dur
ing this time it was impossible to sepa-
rate the vessels. Rockets we're sent up
from the decks Of both, and the Eng
lish ship burned blue lights. while
torches were waved by the crew OF the
Cheston. II was an hou: after the col
lision occurred. however, before the
Rescue and two other of Captain Crit
fith's tugs got alongside and succeeded
in pulling the vessels apart. The James
Cheston was soon afterwards towed
alongside Of jackson street wharf. where
che now lies. Neither Of these vessels
appears to have dragged anchor. but it
being slack water. they were 80 swung
by the wind that the collision occurred
The Eddcrside suffered no material
damage beyond the loss Of her jibboom
and the carrying away OF . portion OF
