The Bankers Daughter-A Pennsyl.
Yania Love Story.

KATE BoAs is a bankers daughter.
Nature gave her good looks, and her
fathers million enabled her to add such
accomplishments and adornments as
made her one of the foremost young
women in the mining districts of Penn
sylvania. She was modest and quiet,
did not make display of fine dress, and
in no way seemed to be spoiled by
wealth and fiattery. 1t was thought
that she mistrusted the sincerity of her
admirers, and was fearful of fortune
hunters, for she avoided association
with gentlemen as far as she could po-
litely. The fact is now public that she
never gave up the love of the sweet
heart of her school days. when she was
a comparatively poor girl, and he was
too heedlessly boyish to couple love and
money in his calculations. Her choice,
however, was not that of her fathers,
and she obediently married man whom
she did not love. That was seven years
ago. Now she is in An asylum for the
insane, and her husband sued for a
divorce and obtained it yesterday. 1t
is in the testimony in this suit that the
extraordinary story is told.
Kate Beas went home from school
with her heart pledged to her lover;
but she soon found that her father was
of different mind. A. F. Boas had
grown enormously in wealth. while the
young mans father, contractor, had
been unfortunate. Mr.. Boas forbade
her to countenance the suit of poor
mans son, and she was obedient,
though she was revengefully repellant
here in Reading at her home, and her
summers at her fathers country house
at Wormelsdorf, twenty miles distant.
The young heiress became almost re-
cluse. but she did not let anybody know
the reason. In everything else her
father gave her the utmost freedom; but
in the matter of q husband he not only

4 STRANGE LOVE.

I cLAsPED her struggling to my heart
whispered love unknown;
One kiss on her red lips 1 pressed
And she was ali my own.
1loved her with love profound.
Zen death could not destroy,
And yet, must confess, found
My bliss had some alloy.
For once saw her unaware
Upon fellows lap;
He claiming kisses ripe and rare
did not like the chap.
She had some faults $50 have we ALL
But one hope to throttle;
She had, alas. what / may call
A weakness for the bottle.
One morn 1 caught her ere was made
Her toilet. and beneath
An old straw hat her laugh BETRAYED
My darling had no teeth.
Unconscious OF my presence she
With artful antics rare
Tossed off the hat, and-Gracious mel
Her head was minus hair.
But love is founded on a rock,
And mighty in its might:
For L could learn without shock
She could not read nor write.
She could not dance or sing a tone,
And scarcely could converse;
But what cared l, she was my own,
For better or for worse
And yet loved her and confessed
Devotion, and, 1t may be,
You'd do the same if you possessed
Another such baby.

Happy! Is she happy? My selfish

The heart under my little pinafore

The immense funeral procession in
the streets to-day which followed the
two dead firemen to their last resting
place and the crowds of people with
sympathetic faces who lined the
sidewalks attested the respect and the
affection ofthe people for the memory
of the martyrs Of the fire department.
The names of Edward Leonard and
Peter Meath will always be held in
respectful and hallowed remembrance
as .men who fell at the post of duty.
They were cut down in the prime of
early vigorous and hopeful manhood
when their hearts beat high with
noble impulses, friendships were
strong and life was sweet. Many a
tear fell unbidden to-day at the
thought of their tragic fate, and many
pure white flower arranged into
wreaths by gentle hands rests lightly
on their graves. Peace and honor to
the memory of these noble young
men, who went down in the heat and
strife of a great battle with the
elements. May the sod rest gently on
their dust, and a glorious resurrection
await them.

MASS MEETING TONIGHT.

A mass meeting of the people is
called for this evening, to be held at
the Greenlaw opera house. The prime
object is to discuss the action of the
legislative council in repeating
portion of the health ordinance, re-
quiring all privy vaults to be filed up
as well as cleaned out at once and
another system to be substituted, In
fact, the discussion will turn mainly
upon the practicability of forcing
forty or fifty thousand people to
change their habits suddenly and
adopt an entirely new and untried
system. We do not question the good
intentions of those who favor the new
tangled earth box, but seriously ques-
ton its advisability and their Judge
ment. We hope, however, that there
will be no Incorporate expressions to-
night, but merely calm, dispassionate
discussion Of such sanitary questions
as may be introduced. We are all in
the same boat, and cannot afford to
fall out or seriously disagree about
mere matters of detail. Conflicting
opinions should be weighed upon
their merits, pride Of opinion
discarded and cool judgment al
lowed to prevail. There was never
time when there was less occasion fol
excitement or ad captandum appeals
than right now. We will be affected
and Judged by what we do rather thar
by our impulses or intentions. The
conduct of public affairs in all great
crises is necessarily entrusted to few
hands. 1t would be perilous to sub
NIT every question of public policy tt
popular vote every few weeks
Public opinion is capricious and turn
often upon trivial incidents. Yet 1t i
well for the people, who are all inter
ested alike, to consult together to ge
the best advice and act advisedly. Il
this spiritwe hope the people will NEE
tonight; not to condemn any one or
obstruct measures intended for tn
public good, but to reconcil
differences of opinion, get to
gether if we are not alread
on common platform, and determin
that no sacrifice is too great and tina
no measure for the common good shal
be rejected or forgotten. We ar
passing through a crucial test whic
will tax our ability, courage and cool
ness to the utmost. The meeting t.
night will doubtless demonstrate thi
the masses are substantially in hal

that no pains are to be spared

Col. Il. MoDAvITT, one Of our
Oldest and most intelligent citizens,
propounds an inquiry which only some
learned sanitarian can answer. He
saws: IF fecal matter is the cause Of
yellow fever, how did it happen that
the disease did not sweep away all
Memphis when Sherman's army was
here during the war? p 1t will
be remembered that Memphis
was occupied by a force of Fed
eral soldiers ranging from five
to forty thousand for two or
three years, and that there was a still
larger floating population here, includ-
ing thousands of colored refugees,
who were utterly regardless Of sani-
tary regulations. At times there were
fully one hundred thousand people,
including troops, in and around the
city. The soldiers used common pits,
and left them open at the end Of the
war. Yellow fever did not appear
until 1867; and then it was
a mild epidemic. Nevertheless, all
sanitary science and common sense
teach that continued soil pollution
will increase the ratio Of sickness anc
mortality, and it is therefore our dut!
to connect with sewers as soon as pos
sible and abolish the old fashioned
earth vault. The worst places shoulC
be abated first, and all as soon a
practicable. A thorough system o
subsoil drainage and sewerage vii
greatly promote the general health o
the city aud double the value o
property in a a few years.

FINHE attention Of all who ship cotton seed to
J. Memphis is called to the following Quota
tiOn from the Ledger of the 3lst of December.
" A rich reward is enjoyed this season by
the cott0n-seed Oil-men. The raw material
costs no more than last year, freights are AS
cheap, or cheaper, and their productions are
largely advanced in value. Crude oil is now
worth az New Orleans 3l@SSc per gallon, and
refined at 4SG4so per gallon. SeeG.meal is SIS
to s2O,5O per ton, and cake SD to $3.50 per
ton"
These figures, we are assured, are substap..
tally correct, and in view of the low prices
paid in Memphis for cotton-seed- arbitra-
ry price being fixed all the season round BY
the Cotton-seed AssociatiOn-we feel that
some action should be taken for our common
protection. SO safe are the oil-wOrks here in
the price fixed that no changes are made
on account of fluctuations in the oil ma-ket
1t is an absolute monopoly, by an under
standing with q similar association in New
Orleans, from which there is no appeal except
by the united action of those who produce
the seed. We, the undersigned therefore
unite in calling for a convention of the PLAN
ters of the Mississippi Valley who ship seed
to Memphis, to be held in this city, at the
PEABODY HOTEL. at 10 O'clock, on Mons
day, January 10. to take into considera-
ton our interests and the best means for thei.
protection.
