THE GIRL WHO MARRIED A H0RSE-cAa
CONDUCTOR.

A very sad ending of newspaper
romance has just come to light here.
A day or two ago two well dressed,
refined looking, and well educated
young women arrived here in COM
pany with couple of illiterate and
very "horsey men. The quartet
came from Rocky Point One couple
were husband and wife The young
lady was born and brought up in Prov
idence. She was reared in the midst
OF comfort and even of luxury, having
every wish gratified and all her whims
satisfied. A few months ago she went
to New York, and while riding on an
uptown horse-car, fell in love with the
conductor, and, despite the remon-
strances of her friends, married him.
She is connected with one of the old
est families in the state, her grand.
father being well known divine.
The couple came to Providence short
time ago and the young girl hunted
up there a school companion This
was the young lady who accompanied
the married couple to Rocky Point
and Newport. Her companion was
the groom of the married woman's
father. The second girl is related to
many families in the state, and is a
granddaughter of former United
States Senator. She is now said to be
living with a well known business
man in Providence 1t is one of the
saddest cases ever known in this vicin-
ity.-Nec York World.

COULDN'T Stop HER.-The gates al
the passenger depots which shut out all
people not having tickets for the trains
were yesterday closed at the Union de
pot against an elderly woman wearing
spectacles and using an umbrella for a
cane.
Cant pass without ticket" said
the man at the gate as she came up.
81 want to see if there's anybody on
that train going to Port Huron" she
answered
"Can'tpas without ticket, madam u
'I've got darter in Port Huron,
have"
''Can't help 1t, please. My orders
are very strict"
" l tell you, 1 want to send word to
my darterw she exclaimed. adjusting
her spectacles for a better view of the
official.
"Yes, but We can't help that. you
see. Please show your ticket"
" want this ere railroad to under
stand that I've got a darter in Port
Huron, and she's got a baby four
weeks old, and I'm going to send her
up word in spite of all the gates in this
depot"
Please show your ticket, madam. {"
g tell you once more"
g Please show your ticket, madam, F."
She gave the old umbrella a whirl
and brought it down on his head with
all the VIM of an old-fashioned log-rais-
ing, and as he staggered aside she pass
ed him and said:
"There's my ticket, sir, and I've got
more behind it Mebbe one man and
gate can stop me from sending word
to my darter to grease the baby's nose
with mutton taller if the weather
changes cold, but | don't believe it 4"
And she walked down to the train,
found some one going to Port Huron,
and came back carelessly humming the
melody Of the "Three Blind Mice

WAR is a terrible thing, and it is
hoped that the day is near at hand
when our soldiers will be beaten into
ploughshares, and our difficulties set
tied by arbitration. In recent en-
gagement between the CHILEAN aid
Peruvian forces, a horse trod ON a sol
dier's bunion, and he yelled so-the
soldier, not the horse-that you could
hear him two miles. A lieutenant on
the other side was also wounded. His
sword became entangled between his
legs, which tripped him up, and sus-
tanned a slight abrasion of the left
cheek bone. 1t is understood that
both armies are now suing for peace.

THE DECLINE OF AMERICAN COMMERCE.
1t will be noticed that in 1869 about
thirty-three per cent. of our exports
We're carried in American vessels,
while last year the amount was less
than eighteen per cent. Every branch
of trade in the United States has
grown within these years with extra
ordinary rapidity, except ship build
ing, which has failed Reference to
the above table will show that among
all the principal articles of exports,
the only falling off within the last ten
years has been in precious metals and
sewing machines. This is accounted
for by the fact that we are now coin
ing our gold and silver at home, and
American capital is now manufacture
ing sewing machines on European
soil.
Cotton has not increased in the
amount exported in proportion to 9TH
err products. Statistics show that the
annual crop in 1878 was about the
same as that of 1869.
Particular attention is called to the
immense increase in the shipments of
beef on the hoof and slaughtered fresh
beet. About nine millions more of
live stock was shipped in 1879 than in
1869, or an increase Of eleven hun
dred per cent. While no fresh beef
was shipped in 1869, nearly five mil
lion dollars worth was shipped in
1879.
IRON AND STEEL.
The shipments of iron and steel are
not included in the above table. be-
cause in the report of the Bureau of
Statistics for 1869 the different articles
of manufacture were not classified as in
the report of later years, so a compar-
ison is made below between the ex-
ports OF 1870 and 1879:
