siastic in advocating her religious opinions,
aud who belonged to that sect known in
the dictionary Of religion Az the Latter Day
Saints, arrived AT the Union depot yester-
day in all her maidenly loneliness, eA route
for Eureka Springs. Arkansas Az she
found it necessary TO wait ut the depot for
the out bound evening train Oh the San
Francisco road. time hung heavily Oil her
hands and prompted her to institute q
search for Norman elder Of this city, with
whom she is we'll acquainted. Will, this
object in view, she walked up to Police
Officer Wall and asked him whether he waa
enc of them.
One Of whatf' inquired Wall, looking
somewhat astonishea.
Why, Latter Day Saint, of course, she
replied.
The gallant officer said that he WAC one
oil them before he was married, but since
he had found wife he thought it best to
renounce the faith. Although not saint,
he agreed to find man who belonged to
the sect. He accordingly tipped bis hat 10
the lady and disappeared through the crowd
near the main entrance in search Of one OF
his friends. Presently, after searching for
sometime, he found John Eberle, the land
agent of the Iron NJ fountain road. Without
ceremony he requested Eberle to accom-
pany him to the ladies' waiting room, as
there was lady there anxious to see him,
Immediately. The unsnspecting land agent
went with the officer in hot haste to tbs
waiting room, whore he was introduced to
Mrs. Hubbard (that was her name) as
Brother Eberle, Latter Day Saint This
overjoyed the woman to such degree that
she sprang from her seat, threw her arms
about Eberle's neck and planted several
convulsiye kisses upon his left cheek, ex-
claiming as she lid so:
"Oh, how it gratifes HE to meet brother
here in this city!"
OF course Eberle was astonished almost
out OF bis boots, and mortified terribly, as
the waiting room was filed with people, He
hardly knew what course to pursue at first,
whether to fly into a passion or carry the
joke still farther. After moments refec-
ton he finally concluded to pursue the lat
ter course, and asked the woman whether
she knew any other saints.
Eyes, was her reply, II do; know the
elder OF our church in this city, and would
like to see him ever SO much"
Eberle told her to accompany him and he
would take her to the Office of the man she
desired to meet, which WAS located directly
across the street from the depot. He took
her into Scalper Garvey's office and intro
duced her to Mr.. Garvey, after being as
sured that that gentleman was Latter Day
Saint. This was no sooner done than she
pounoed upon Garvey, embraced him,
kissed him, and waltzel him about the
room in an extraordinary manner.
Carney, in the midst OF his bewilderment
wanted to know what in the name of COM
mon sense she was trying to do.
why, aren't yon Latter Day Saint2" she
inquired, with a blank expression of aston
ishment Illuminating her wrinkled counter
ance.
No, not by considerable Odds" replied
Garvey. This is no church; it is IL place
where tickets are bought and solo," Ho

Eberle tipped him the wink, when he told
the lady that there was Latter Dav Saint

proprietor. OF course she was delighted to

drowning man to straw, and gave him
several atfectionate kisses. An earthquake,
or hurricane, conld not have terrified Mr.
Ward more thoroughly than this
woman's extraordinary conduct. While his
face was assuming various shades of color
in rapid succession, acknowledgement lob
ster red and oyster shell white, the ticket
broker dipped him the wink. She was
then introduced to Mr.. Nichols, general
foreman Of the Union depot yard. She
terrified Nichols by carressing him imam

with great tenacity. The officer was over
come with rage, and wanted to expel her
by force from the ladies' waiting room. He
was prevented from carrying out his pur-
pose, however, by the other men who had
been victimized, who told him that he had
only been made the victim of practical
