IS THIS RoMANCEP

In October, 1869, the steamboat
StonewaIl, while making the trip be-
tween St. Louis and New Orleans,
took fire and was burned to the wa
ter'o edge. There were 200 people
on board, and many lives were lost.
Among the passengers was James
Fry, a commercial traveller, who
succeeded 10 rescuipg a young girl
10 years of age, whose parents were
lost, and who was sent to Toledo
Ohio, where she said she had friends
A Rochester correspondent of the
New York Times tells the rest of tho
story: A year ago last month Fry
was in Cincinnati transactiog some
business for house in st Louis, 10
whose employ be has been for sever
al years. An acquaintance of his in
sisted or taking him to call at the
residence of friend one evening. -
He met there and was introduced
to a Mrs. Richmond, a widow OF
great personal attractions. She had
been widow for three years, and was
then only "a She was visiting at
the house where Fry met her, her
home being in Chicago. Fry fell in
love with Mrs. Richmond. They
correspopded for several months,
when the travelling agent made the
Young widow an offer of marriage,
and she accepted it. A day early
in the present month was selected
for the wedding. Fry went to Chi
cago the last of November A few
days before the wedding he and bis
betrothed we're laying out a route
for the wedding tour. She told bin
to select any route that pleased him,
the travelling of which did not ob
lige them to 60 any distance by wa
ter. She manifested such borror OF
travelling by water that Fry was
curious to know what had caused it.
His establishment may be imagined
when she related to him the terrible
experience of the night of October
u, 1869, on the Mississippi, daring
the burning Of the steamer Stonewall
on which she was passenger, and
at which time her mother and father
were drowned. Mrs Richmond was
none other than the girl of 10 whom
Fry had rescued on that memora'
BILE night. BY the sad death OF her
parents she had been left with few
thousand dollars, bat no near rela'
tives. At the age Of 10 to obtain q
home, she married Frank Richmond
of Chicago, dealer in wheat. Ha
became bankrupt, and died in 1879
since which time she has made her
home among her aud his friends.

BIGAMTST.

There are no end Of bigamists, and
probably there never will be any
end until all women are endowed
with a desire to know something
about the men they marry. But
while there are bigamists and biga~
mists it has been left to a New York
man to carry on the business with
lust little more than ordinary im~
pudence. He married one wife in
1858 and another 10 1878, and lived
with both until a few days ago. he
maintained these wives in separate
houses at no great distance from
each other, one being at WOODLAND
and the other 81 Yonkers With
rascalIy cooluess he was in the habit
of taking the daughter of his first
wife to visit his second wife, the
girl being under pledge not to be
tray him. To his second wife he
accounted for his visits to his first
wife by calling the latter his mother,
and he might have kept up this DEL
icate lodging between wives almost
indefinitely il 40 inconsiderate broth
erin law bad not exposed him. He
is now 10 jail, and so far as that par
ticular man is concerned young wo~
men with a reckless anxiety to mar
Try may feel secure.

TRUE WORDS.

1t has been said that "good name
in mao or woman is the immediate
jewel of the soul" Il certainly is
the Jewel which will prove the Sc
same to an honest living 10 the world
Take, for instance, g hundred aged
and successful business men-those
who have withstood the storms OF
adversely. Take a bundled gray
haired aged men, who have succeed
ed in business, while others have
failed, and they will doubtless say
that they attributed their success in
life to square dealings, honesty of
purpose, and that their word was as
good as their bond This every sue
cessfuI business man knows to be
true, and that the old edage of hon
esty is the Best policy" is as true
to day as it was when the words fell
from the lips of their author.
Young men, then, should not rely
upon a prepossessiug exterior too
much. A fine suit of clothes has a
power which reaches out short
distance, and under which we eau
observe the unworthy as quickly as
under the common or ordinary garb
Many an honest heart beats under
rough Jacket Learn to do some
things we'll. Be industrious and
prompt, honest to fulfill Obligations
in short, be esteemed as a man
among men. These will bring peace
and plenty, the respect of the people
and the smiles of noble women. -
The contrary will bring reproacb,
the frowns of the world aud almost
certain poverty and rags, Rome
Tribune.

The expenses of a trip around the

No allowance is made for expenses

lished in the Washington Post to the
effect that Gov. Seymour would, in
Certain contingencies, accept q nemi.
nation for President by the Democracy
the World telegraphed to Utica to find
out the truth or falsity of it. The fol.
lowing was the reply sent by a "mutu-

can mind upon the subject:
"UTICA, March 12.
ITO THE EDITOR OF THE WORLD:
"As requested ty you, 1 have called upon
Governor Seymotr and asked him IL it is
true that he has to any person in any inter.
view said that his name might go before
the next National Democratic Convention
as Presidential candidate. He states ip
reply that he has no recollection whatever
of any conversation on the subject with any
one in which he could have conveyed any
suca impression or idea. He has never i'm
any way expressed or entertained the idea
of allowing his name to be presented to the
people as u candidate for the Presid ncy again,
nor will he allow it to be SO used under any
whatever"
1t appears to us that this ought to
settle the question, even to the eter-
nal satisfaction Of the Washington
Post and Kansas City Times. Those
papers WOn't get Seymour, and they
will have tn be satisfied with Samuel
J. Tilden, for he is the man whom the
Democracy will nominate, elect and
put into office. There will be no
counting out" this year.

A curious election contest came up q
few days since i'm Harper county, Kan
sas. There was an election held there,
an unimpOrtant one, and yet when the
vote was counted it was found that the
boxes contained 2947 ballots, although
there were only 500 legal voters III the
| county. The boxes were given the
Canvassing Board and they were re-
quested to count the votes and promul-
gate the returns. They declined, how
ever, and the case was at once carried
before the Supreme Court. 1t was>ar-
gued by the counsel that the Canvass
ing Board was mere ministerial body,
whose duty it was not to question the
returns, but only to count the votes
and promulgate the returns. The Su-
preme Court declared that this was
true, and that the board had no right
toi INQUIRE into the legality of voter;
but it is said further, that the outrage
in this case was SO gross and apparent
as to make it An exception. The re-
turns were "manifestly rotten, an i'm
mense lie and without value" and the
board did right i'm refusing to indorse
this lie. The mandamus prayed for
was accordingly refused and new
election ordered. The election was, as
might be expected, county seat fight.

The Gazette correspondent says
"The Democratic leaders argue that
this rule adopted by the most Radical
Republican Congress will give them
all the con troll over the electoral count
that there y any necessity of having,
,chite the Republicans could hare no
tenabte ground upon tchich to base
objections to the re-en0ctncnt of the
rule" The is point in the portion
we have italicised sufficiently sharp to
reach the dullest Republican compre-
hension. 1t would, indeed, be difficult
for Republicans to stir up much right
eous indignation" over the Democratic
adoption of a Republican measure,
though the amount of Republican pro-
family which that event would inevita-
bly, provoke is something fearful to con-
template.
Whether the Congressional majority
really intend to borrow the enemy,s
club for self-protection. we do not
know; but there would be a poetic
propriety in SO doing which goes very
far i'm its favor. Nothing could be
more sweetly suggestive of partisan
consistency than to hear the Republic
can orators and organs denouncing the
"the Democratic plo t." which is mere
ly the reproduction of n Republican
device for Saving the country" the in
good old days Of Radical reconstruc-
ton. An ancient proverb declares
that ait is poor rule that will not
work both ways" but we may predict
with utmost confidence the prompt re-
pudiation of this prOverb i'm case the
Democrats decide to make a practical
application of it. The mere possibility
of such retributive justice will drop
like a bomb-shell in the Republican
camp.

A Washington special to the Cincin-
natl Gazette declares that the wicked
Democrats are again on the war-path.
and unless out-hanked in some way
will make "the peril" greater than ev-
er. 1t is proposed to adopt joint rule
inregard to counting the electoral vote,
and in order to avoid as far as possible
the hurting of Republican feelings, the
old Republican joint rule will be re-en-
acted. This rule was established when
that party had more than two-thirds
majority i'm both houses, and was de-
vised for the purpose of throwing out
any and all electoral votes which might
he "sent up from the South by the un-
reconstructed element of its voting pop
uiation." 1t enabled either branch of
Congress to prevent the counting of
the electoral vote of any State, or of
any set of returns from any State, by
simply raising an objection upon any
ground whatever and persistiDg in it.
The power is conferred in the following
paragraph:
I'll upon the reading of any such certificate
