A Sewing Girls Romance.

A sewing girl in this city, writes a
Springfield Mass correspondent, has
had romantic experience that is worth
the telling Several months ago man
at Dubuque, Ia, advertised in an eastern
Massachusetts paper for wife. Among
the swarm of answers which he received
were two from two girls in this city, who
replied just fer the fun of the thing
Que Of them represented herself as a
young widow, and her lively account of
herself and her circumstances was very
largely fictitious, especially that which
told VERY incidentally, as if il was of
no consequence of the snug sum of
money left her by the dear departed.
She never expected to hear of the matter
again, but that was the one letter out of
all the advertiser received which struck
his fancy. He wrote TO the supposed
''widow" (who, in fact had never been
married, and who was then earning her
living with her needles photographs
were exchanged; the letters grew more
affectionate, until the young woman, re-
alizing that the affair was no longer a
Joke, wrote to her new found admirer and
told him frankly of her humble circum-
stances.
OF course he admired her even more
and at last came from Dubuque to this
city to claim Der for his bride. Instead
of the sleek aud intelligent looking and
manly individual whom she bad expected
from his letter and his photograph, what
was her vexation TO see person decided
ly seedy in appearance, wearing an old
SLOUGH hat, and appearing altogether un-
attractive. Well, she refused him, and
he, ending her bitterly for so doing after
the pains he had taken to win her, re-
turned alone TO lows. [ suppose he
hadn't lett the house before she was sor-
ry--such is the flexible character of fe-
male affectio and it is certainly true
that she was very sorry, indeed, before he
had put thousand miles between them.
He wrote no more, but the distressed
young woman wrote, or got friends to
write, TO the pastor of the church he at
tended and to various persons in Du-
buque, to find cut what sort of man this
thought of in the first place. The replies
were uniformly complimentary, and every
one only increased her regret that she,
poor sewing girl, had refused "good
match
s NEVER u NDtV GhLlB rum Uiul, anu at
last she swallowed her pride, reopeneq
the correspondence herself, and told dim
how she had misjudged him and how
sorry she was that she had. Promptly
cams manly roply from which she dis
covered that when he visited her here,
he had Intentionally made himself as I'M
ATTRACTIVE as possible, from romantic
notion that she ought to take him for
what he was and not for what he wore
Of course they were married, and the
poor sewing girl has for her husband one
OF tho leading citizens OF Dubuque. And
for her home ono Of the finest mansions
in Dubuque. This true story ought to
10 have moral Of tine negative sort
namely, that young !, iris are not to infer
from It that it is safe for them TO an

where one case Of this sort has, like this,
a happy issue, there are ten which lead
TO uuhappiness or something great deal

self in politics and at the bar by his
comprehensive Knowledge of the law
and by his great energy and indefati-
gable Industry. The appointment will
give very general satisfaction, and we
predict a brilliant career for the new
judge.
Judge White, we hear, is about 32
years of age. His father, Edward D.
White, was Governor of this State from
1886 to 1s39-Gov. A. B. Roman being
his successor in Office. The new Judge
is probably the youngest man who has
ever occupied seat on the Supreme
Bench of this State.
We regret that Gov. Nichols was
unable to find a lawyer from this
Supreme Court district fitted to fill the
vacant position. AS now organized,
the Monroe district is without a single
representative on the Bench.

Of this State, caused by the death of

accept the position. The appointee is

also endeavored to shove him into the

PUBLIC CREDIT VS.. PRIVATE CREDIT

MuCA AdS OcOA SNAu AA VlO AkSot AV"
weeks of the effect on private credit OF
the low credit of the State, resulting
from the failure to pay promptly the
interest on the bonds due January !,
1879. Those who have direct pecuni-
ary interest in the question have
sounded the note of alarm, and try as
siduously to produce the impression
that general bankruptcy and ruin
would be entailed on the whole COM
munity by such failure. This idea is
based on a fallacy that is easily demon
strated. The credit of any individual
is in direct proportion to his property,
deducting his debts. The aggregate
wealth of all the inhabitants of Louisi-
ana-less what they owe to inhabitants
of other States-is the measure of their
credit.
The entire property of tho people of
this State is mortgaged and pledged to
secure $ls,OOO,OOO OF State debt, of
which the people of the city of New
Orleans have to bear about five-eights,
say $11 ,25O, 900 and the city debt is an
additional mortgage of 1900, 900. So
the property of the people of this city
is mortgaged for about $33, $50, 900, or
to one third of its value, and this mort
gage diminishes in a still greater ratio
the actual price any piece of property
will bring in the market. Every piece
of property is sold subject to this mort
gage of one-third its value. Therefore,
if every State and city bond or obliga-
ton was extinguished or repudiated
the actual marketable value of property
would be increased nearly 40 per cent.
The total value of all the property of
all the people of this city instead of be-
ing $111 100000 would be $144, ,25O, 900.
I.>1~k g..
ever, only about $13, ,912, 500, estimating
cents. Therefore, by repudiating the
State and city debt, supposing that
every bond is held in the city, the
bondholders would lose $13,912, 500,
and the property holders would gain
$33, $50, 900. So the only effect of not
paying interest to the bondholders is
the loss of so much money to the hold
! ers. Far be it from us to suggest or
advocate repudiation of an honest debt
for which the people have received ade-
quate consideration. We but demon
strate that total reputation would
increase private credit in a much
greater amount than those who hold
bonds would lose.
No one complains of the injury to
general private credit resulting from
the fact that our judges and executive
officers, police and school teachers are
not paid and arc several months in
arrears.
Some of the city papers have nothing
to say on this disgrace; but if the cou
pom clippers are month late in getting
their money, a tremendous howl is
raised.
Those who devote all their time,
labor and energy to the service Of the
people are not paid and have not been
for months, and yet we hear of no pub
lie meetings, no proposition to borrow
money to pay them. But the holders
of the evidences of the rascalities of
Ludeling, Warmoth, kellogg, Ray,
Anderson and others, are much exer
clsed over the effect on private credit
because the people are too poor to pay
the interest promptly. This inconsis-
tency would seem to require some ex-
planation.

We learn that DIR. l.. w. Gregory
has recently mot with an accident
which, it is thought will involve the
loss Of his hand, or probably his arm.
Some days ago whilst examining a
vial Of swamp fever urine. he accidently
broke the vial and severely cut the
ring finger of the left hand, tho wound
being bathed in the purtrid urine,
which had been standing several
months. He was thus. infected with
animal poison, which is in all respects
similar to q dissection wound. The
wounded finger rapidly intlamed,
swetted and became gangrenous. This
inflammation now involves the entire
hand and fore arm, and it is thought
that the finger, at least, and perhaps
the entire hand will have to be sacri-
feed to the surgeons knife.-Col,nmbia
