A Real Romance.

A rugged looking capitalist, from the
wild canyons of the Rocky Mountains,
named James Jones, is now the hero of
social sensation which, since yester-
day morning, has produced no small
commotion among boarders at the Plant
ers' House, where he is stopping. He re-
tired early Sunday night, but found
himself too restless to sleep. During
the fitful attempts to slumber the idea
worked itself into his brain that it would
be unwise for him to return to the
gulches of the Rockies without q wife.
This idea troubled him to such an ex-
tent that he arose yesterday morning
at five O'Clock and started out in search
Of q helpmate. Among the first per-
sons he met, after leaving his room at
that early hour, was q chambermaid,
who goes by the name of "Dutch Mary"
In an offhand. business-like way pecu-
liar to men who hail from the mining
districts of the Far West, he told the
chambermaid that he was looking for n
beiter-half, and asAcd her il she wouldn't
become his bride. r
"Och, mol" re,,led Mary, "I don't
want to have anything to do with you.
don't know you. How do you expect
me to know you2 OF course won't
marry you"
After saying this Mary turned on her
heel and went about her work. But
poor Jones took heart in the thought
that there were plenty of as pretty
chambermaids circulating around as
ever were caught. He accordingly
continued his persistent search until he
ran across ssErench Florence.n To
Florence he proposed bluntly, and she
bluntly refused, saying tha. s'she
wouldn't do anything of the kind If she
knew herself-and she thought she
did" 4..l
By this time the mountaineer began
to feel blue, a. there were no other
chambermsids in sight. However, after
q moments reflection he concluded to
''tackle" Dutch Mary again. He went
back to her and duplicated his appeal,
when she relented and said: "Why,
yes, my dear, Of course; I will marry
you tomorrow" This answer made
the ardent lovers heart leap with Joy,
and. was the cause of his returning to
! the hotel after short tour about the
city, with any amount Of stuff, which he
laid at the feet of his intended as pres
ents. During his tour about the city he
purchased her a s175 silk dress, q S22
parasol, n gold watch and chain, and
those worn by any of the lady guests at
/ the Planters. This display of1iberality
astonished every one, as people looked
upon Jones as some common hack, pos
sessing neither friends nor money. 1t
is useless to say that the agony of
;"French Florence" as she looked at
"Dutch Mary's" pile of finery, was al
most unbearable. -
"Well," said she, addressing Mary,
he asked me first" --1
"No, he didn't, neither,'' retorted
Mary. ale asked me, and refused
him, and then he asked me again.
That's how it comes"
When some of the ladies inquired of
Mary where sheexpected so make her
future home, she said: "Why, in the
Rocky Mountains, of course. That's
where he lives" 4r55
The wedding in grand style takes
place at the Planters to-day. Jones is
about forty years of age, and the bride
twenty-one.-St. Louis Republican,. =.

Exterminating Bea.Bugs.

In answer to an inquiry respecting
the determination of this loathsome
pest, will state that having once moved
into house that WAS overrun by these
vermin, we Immediately set to work
vigorously in applying coal oil and fine
salt, well mixed together, to closets,
base boards, etc., and in few weeks
the vermin were driven to parts un-
known, and we were never again troubled
with them; never had one in our bed
rooms, though living in mining dis
trict where these intruders were thosght
to be inevitable adjuncts to sleeping
apartments. 1 have travelled much
through mining and tanning districts,
sojourning therein for weeks and
months together, and have been COM
PEELED to lodge in cabins on the plains,
and among the mountains where cleanli-
ness was virtue unknown, and where
from the abounding numbers of these
creeping, biting pests, there was no
sleep TO my eyes or slumber to my eye
lids the whole night through, but have
never had one to intrude into my own
home. Especial care has cf course
been observed to search trunks and all
luggage before being carried up stairs,
as well as unremitting vigilance in max
ing q thorough application of the salt
and oil after the biennial house clean
ings, and at other times if apprehensive
of any danger. -
To any one who has not used this
compound, and wishes to avoid the
nuisance of bugs, my advice would be
to have the bedsteads thoroughly
washed, and when dry apply the mix
ture to every possible crevice with a
painters small brush. Keep a supply
of the mixture in wide -mouthed vessel
of glass or stone-ware, aud well corked.
If used faithfully, this viii drive the ver-
min from the house and keep them at
bay. The oil and salt do not injure
carpet, mating or floor if dropped upon
it, for the oil soon evaporates, and the
salt can be swept up. This was an
original idea of my own more than
twenty years ago, when driven almost
TO desperation BY nuisance to which L
had been stranger, and having recon-
mended it to many who have proved its
complete success, am desirious thst
others may avail themselves of the same
means of relief.-Gar. Country Gentle

largest crop the past season sowed but

thin it to six or eight inches between

FAST TYPE SETTlNG.-We take the fol-
lowing from the Seattle Herald: "The
Olympia Standard says IA composltor
in Seattle printing office, few days
ago, set 10000 ems in fifteen hours" The
above is very good work but nothing ex>
ira, being little more than 1900 ems per
hour. When it comes down to fast type
setting the Herald office has typo who,
last week, set 1884 ems in one hour. If
there is anorher typo on Puget Sound who
can come up to that work trot him out"
We fail to see anything very extraordin>
airy about this. Why, they have com
positor down at San Francisco who sets
type so fast he is compelled, while at
work, to keep wet sponge in his space,
box to prevent his case from catching fire
by electricity. He sets type with both
hands, and picks EN- up two at time.
He is known to have pulled up in one
hour, as much as 3000-ens.

taken out. The mine is owned by James
