Napoleon Rogers lived with his parents
in the beautiful city of Titusville, on the
banks of Oil Creek. Napoleon was
young and ambitious. He was smitten
with the charms Of Lucinda Merkel.
After an ardent courtship he took his
case to Mr.. Merkel, the father of the
fair Lucinda. Adolph Merkel was a
merchant and had accumulated gold ga.
lore, while Napoleon was poor as an out
side re6ner. 'No," said the father
sternly. "You, who cannot support
yourself, have no right to ask for the
hand of my daughter; GO" and he
spurned him with his boot. When Ma.
poleon struck the sidewalk he turned
with flashing eyes Mark you, Adolph
Merkel the day will come when your
miserable store will not be a peanut
stand compared with the one I shall own"
Young Napoleon disappeared. Years
rolled on. Our hero had been toiling
upon the Pacific slope, and had erected
business house in Chicago that was
grand beyond compare. It was filled
with rare and radiant goods from tho
looms of every land. Napoleon had
photographs taken of the inside and out
| side Of this magnificent trade palace, and
sent them to Adolph Merkel, who had
refused him the hand of his daughter be-
cause of his poverty.
FINIs.-The store was mortgaged for
more than it was worth; the goods be.
longed to another party; Lucinda was
married to a ed-headed oil broker, and
was fat and had twins.

The Times says law abiding citizens
have to submit to terrorism which not
only defes, but supplants the law, and
after looking long and anxiously for help
from the government they have begun to
resign all hope, and no longer resist the
dictation of the Land League. The cases
in which the police are able to commit,
seem to become daily rarer, and even
when trial is secured the witnesses fear
to speak, and the jurors are afraid to con-
vict. 1t is to deliver the peasantry
themselves, as well as tho upper and
middle classes, that vindication of the
law becomes imperative.
DUBLIN, December 20.
The report that the government in
tended to prohibit the Land League meet
ing in Queens county yesterday, is incor-
rect. The prohibition only applied to
meeting at Callowhill, which was con.
vened for the purpose of denouncing
landlord who sought the assistance of the
Bankruptcy Court to recover his rents.
Two hundred hussars, 400 infantry and
100 constabulary arrived at CaIlowhill on
Saturday with ambulance wagons. The
promoters of the meeting issued notice
abandoning the projected meeting at Cal
lowhill, but afterwards announced by
placard the converting Of the meeting a
few miles off. The troops, however,
arrived on the ground. The resident
magistrate forbade the meeting, and said
he would disperse it with buckshot, or
whatever was necessary. The meeting
was then finally abandoned.

It is suggested that in order to sup
= press polygamy, to divide the Territory
OF Utah between Nevada and Colorado.
Let Utah disappear from the map. The
right to pass such a measure can hardly
be doubted, though the consent of the
two States would be necessary. The
; question would then be under the control
Of the State law, which polygamy would
find hard to evade. --[Elko Independent.
We fail to see how the division of
Utah Territory would in the least help to
stamp out polygamy, for polygamy is
openly practiced in Nevada to-day, from
the Colorado river up to the Idaho line,
and no attempt is being made to prevent
1t. There arc men living in Lincoln
coanty to-day who have been married to
three wives by the Mormon Church, and
the prospect of them taking more wives
unto their bosoms is not at all bad. The
authorities Of the State of Nevada have
never made an attempt to suppress po-
lygamy within it it's borders. though they
are cognisant Of the fact that it has ex-
listed and is being carried on in the State.
Polygamy, to-day, is being INDUCED in
by the Mormon settlers of California,
Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado,
Wyoming and Idaho, but neither the
State or Territorial Governments, nor
even the General Government, are max
ing the slightest move to stamp out the
infamous practice Of polygamy which is
now being carried ON within their juris-
diction. Lot us first put stop to polyg-
amy in the above named States and Ter.
ritories. then it will be time enough. to
turn our attention to Utah.

There was an amusing case on trial
before Justice Miller, yesterday after
noon, in which Mrs. Adams sued Ernest

he did contend with loud and angry
words. Ii. Il. Ferguson appeared for
the former and j. Dallas Ewing for the
latter.
Ernest has 4 hydrant on his lot, Of
which Mrs. Adams claimed hall, and her
story is that when she was in the habit
of going in for water he objected and he
called the woman 4 lot OF gOhbliug dogs,
feminine gender. This was substantial.

them knew % whom the language was
addressed.
Lanes witness siid he had known the
defendant Tor twenty years and would
want no more civil neighhor. lie had
heard no loud aud boiSterous language,
but had heard Lane read a warning To-
the complainant against coming IN his
yard for water.
The attorneys started into discussion
OF the right OF the complainant To 90 in
for water, but by mutual consent, this
point was waived and the case was sub.

he was innocent, but finally he consent
