A few weeks ago, the romantic marriage

ated a stir in local society circles. The af-
fair had pleasant ending, the young lady's
folks very sensibly taking her husband af-
fectlonately into the family when it was
found that his only social shortcoming was
poverty. The latest sensation in society
circles relates to the elopement and mar
riage of the only daughter of an Oakland
millionaire with a poverty stricken, but
well-educated, intelligent, temperate young
man who was in her fathers employ. the
young couple waited some time for the re-
pentance of the father, who, in his indigna-
ton, promptly disinherited his daughter !;
but not repenting, the latter abandoned
her husband about week ago and re-
turned to the parental roof. The elope-
ment and marriage, it is reported, occurred
several weeks ago.
