ROMANCE OF A POCKET BOOK.


l was just % when / first met
Alice Thorne, the daughter and heir
ess of George Thorne, the great
banker.
l fell desperately in love with the
charming girl, knowing well that such
love was utter madness.
Her father was reported to be a
very proud, ambitious man, who
would look high for a son-in-law. ]
felt that he would not as much as
give a hearing to my suit and, as to
winning her without his consent,
what would that bring to her but
misery! / had nothing with which
to repay or compense her for the
sacrifice Of a marriage with my pow
erty.
So we babe good-by without a word
Of explanation, though l knew she
read the anguish in my heart, and
tears were in the soft eyes averted
from me. / kissed the trembling
hand she placed in mine, and turned
away and babe farewell to her and
hope together.
Scarcely had l got back to town,
and was striving earnestly to drown
vain regret in the hustle and interest
of business when q terrible misfor-
tune fell upon me. Mr.. Overton had
given me check for 100000, desir-
ing me to 60 to the bank and get it
cashed. Having executed the COM
mission and returned, imagine my
horror on discovering that the pocket
book containing the money was gone.
Whether stolen by villains or lost
by my own carelessness what matter
ed it' 1t was gone, and l was utter
ly ruined.
What / had suffered during the
next few hours God only knows; and
when, after being dismissed, l return
ed to my room, was very nearly
desperate. Not only had lost q lu-
crative position, but my future ap-
peared to be irretrievably blasted, for
there are suspicious which are as ia
tai to man morally, as would be
physically, the wound of a rifle ball.
But was young and of hopeful
nature, and began to realize that |
had been leniently dealt with. On
recalling all that happened after lsav-
ing the bank, and the utter impossi-
billity of the pocketbook being taken
from the breast pocket of my coat,
came to the conclusion that | must
have dropped it, and thereupon ! re-
solved to have recourse to all means
in my power to recover the money.
had saved during the last few
years considerable portion of my
salary, and determined now to de-
vote it to the purpose had in view.
] advertised daily in all the promin-
ent journals, not Offering the custom
airy reward, but describing my unfor-
tunate position, my honor lost and
my fortune blighted.
For two weeks / kept my loss be-
fore the public, and had almost begun
to despair. of any favorable results,
when, one morning, stranger came
to me--a tall, dark, stern-lookiDg
man, who regarded me with pair OF
kindly brown eyes, that had some
thing familiar about them.
The stranger declined the seat ]
offered to him, and began at once

THE theory of scientists that building railroads across the deserts produces an increased precipitation of moisture, is receiving additional proof of it's correct ness in the present unparalleled rain fall in Arizona and New Mexico. All along the lines of the railroad for the past few weeks the rain has been inces- sant. and were it not that throughout Arizona a stratum of hydraulic cement exists near the surface of the ground, 1t might be hoped that heavy growth of vegetation would spring up, and that n time forests would cover the now barren sand of the burning desert. As 1t is, however, the immense fall of water runs quickly from the higher lands into the natural watercourses and finds its way into the large rivers that debouche into the Gulf of California below Yuma, and bur little permanent benefit is derived from 1t. The bottom lands, whose soil is loose and deep, may be expected to receive some impetus in their productive capacity from the aqueous saturation, but in many instances the extreme high water will produce a degree Of destruc- tion exceeding the benefits
 At the present time Arizona ms for feited her c-aim to tie isolated listinc- ton of being a dry mt v, anC unies the rains cease entir ly from C s time henceiorth tbe quant y Of rainfall here will average for the cur'ent year as much as that Of many States where rains are the rule instead of the -nep- tion.
 Barring the inconvenient Interruption of railroad communication, the rams may be considered a blessing, particu- lariy in Tucson, where its work as a public scavenger has frightened the la- bors of our public servants in carrying of the impurities accumulated through years of sanitary negligence.

IF the people who are alwuss con- denlning Arizona as dry country and a dese-t could be dropped almost any where in the Territory at the present time they would conclude that there was a SUI urerabundance of water and that they were in the garden of Eden grown To weeds. Everywhere there is 7he most luxurient growth and the mountains are covered with verdure. The voice of the bull-frog is loud in the land and the fish have hung mp linen clusters and canteens until the next dry season. The rains have certainly transformed this country so that the oldest inhabitant would hard lv recognize it. IT We could have assrlr- ances of such seasons so as to provide against it's advantages and avail our selves of its opportunities, thls Terri tory would become the garden spot of the country. As 1t is now the only dry thing is occasionally an old topper whose thirst for grog the abundant water sup ply only seems to augment

ENTERTAINING.

The steamer Zealandia arrived here yesterday from Sidney. making the quick est passage on record. The steamlng time from San Francisco was twenty-four hours and twenty-seven minutes, aver aging twelve and six-tenths knots an hour.-[ Ostinellis letter to Journal.
 That was a remarkable quick trip for six thousand miles, and for rapid transit takes the confection. But, perhaps and the thought comes with crushing suddenness-perhaps Ostinelh prevari- catedi Twelve and six-tenths knots an hour would approximate for the length of time given, about 300 milestone twentieth of the distance from Sidney to San Francisco. The information may be a little crooked as to particulars, but for general enterprise 1t is way up.

Parable oi ihc Wedding Garment.

. The kingdom of heaven is like a eer-
 tain railroad king who made marriage for his son.
 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding. and they would not come Again he sent forth other servants, saving, tell them which are bidden, be- hold, l have killed the old hen and pre- pared the wedding dinner, and opened keg of nalls, and all things are ready for the blowout
 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his farm another to bis drug store, and another to his grist mill, and the remainder took the ser wants md eItrea sd Elem spitefully. and put a tn ear on them, and frescoed them with Michael Angelo eggs.
 But when the railroad king heard Ofl 1t he bounced the entire outfit and shut off on their passes and raised their freight tarlf and busted them up in their huSi- ness, and sn0te them sore on tha calAe end Of thelr intellccts and made it rdd hot for them.
 Then said he unto his servants. the wedding k ready, but they which were bldden were not worthy.
 Go ye. therefore. down to the side tracks and into the roundhOuse and the water tank and the cabooses and the gravel trains, and gather together as many as yc shall find, and tell them tb come over to the wedding feast and il themselves up.
 And the servants went forth and rounded mp as many as they could find. both bad and good, and bade them t6 the feast.
 And when the king went into the rel ceptiOn room he found there man who had not on a spike-tail coat and low necked shoes and clocSed socks.
 And he saith unto him, "parjlner, how cometh tt that thou art here without any store clothes on and wearing instead al linen duster and Iim-crUw raiment gen. erally?"
 And the man was speeches. at first. but he answered vet again.
 70 railroad king, live forever, | know that l am here without a wedding gar ment; but, behold, am a conductor on thy line, and | have reformed and have ceased to knock down. and, behold, thy servant is poor, for he IS trying to live on his salary
 And the king was very wroth, and he ! told the usher Co gather iUm in and tO . take him by the slack of his raiment and !. to cast him over the outer wall, and . there was weeping and gnashing of { teeth.
 And while tLe wedding guests made ! merry and whooped it up, the man who was cast ont did steal around to the back door and become solid with the cook, and filed himself mp with the wedding feast on the siy.
 And f. came to pass tha, when he had eaten of the fatted calf and He wedding cake, and absorbed all the champagne that he could carry away, he crawled into the hayuuw and slept till the cotk crew.
 And when the morning was come he jQumeyed over the railroad track toward Salt Lake, Tor. behold. he was 90 tramp Bill Yves Boomerang.
