With true love, and season OF
engagement in which love and dis
cretion hayc ruled, the marriage re-
duces itself to a verysimple thing in
Il deed. 1t follows as naturally as the
fruit follows the blossom. How may
the welded realize all they have
hoped for in each others society:
Simply by continuing to be te
leach other, only in fuller measure
what they have been during court
ship-faithful lovers loving from es
TEEN, and expressing love unselfish
lly. DO not imagine that it is in an,
. sense unbecoming for man to pay
1 his wife the same compliments he be
: slowed upon her when he was court
ing her, or for wife to manifest tn
same pleasure in the society Of he
husband as in the pre-marital days.

TABOR IN TERROR.
The Bellicose Bushmen Thirst for
his Blood.

DENVER. Col, July 20.-There was
a hostile meeting at the Windsor no.
tel yesterday morning between ex-
Senator Tabor and Mr. James Bush,
the brother of W. III. Bush, Tabor's
former friend and partner. While it
seemed to be of personal nature, the
real animus, it is believed, comes
from the litigation between Tabor and
w. H. Bush. The suit of Tabor
against Bush for embezzlement, in
which Bush was acquitted, was the
origin of the bad feeling. This suit
for the recovery Of $4,000 is still
pending, while w. Bush has a suit
against Tabor for $100,0 900. The i'm
mediate cause of the difficulty
this morning was lit
tie squabble about hack-stand
in front of the Tabor opera house. By
TabOr's direction Chief of Police
Smith had instructed his officers to
allow certain space in front to be oc-
cupied by the hackmen. James Bush,
who is proprietor of livery stable,
obtained permission from the saloon
proprietor to stand one of his hacks in
this reserved place Mr.. Tabor object
ed James Bush called on Tabor and
asked what he had against him, when
Tabor refused to talk with him Bush
then defied him and all his relations,
and heaped upon him all manner of
abuse and epithets. Tabor, believing
his life to be in danger, quickly step
ped into the elevator and returned to
hisroom. Subsequently he called upon
the authorities of the city. A special
officer was detailed to guard him, and
by instruction of the chief the entire
police force was placed at Tabor's
command in the event he should need
any of them. Mr.. Tabor was inter
viewed during the afternoon while he
was under guard of an officer, and he
stated positively that the quarrel
which Jim Bush tried to force upon
him was only pretext for a chance
to kill him. He said he felt that his
life was constantlyin danger He did
not fear Bill Bush, but believed Jim
Bush would kill him on the slightest
DrOVOcatlOn.

deemed to speedy evanescance. Shat
tenburg was detected In frauds against
the government, was convicted and
sent to Leavenworth for short term.
Denver regretted him, for he was a
perfect gentleman, had been an excel
lent citizen and an enterprising man.
The glory of the Shatfenburg mansion
departed and the sound of merriment
and laughter no longer echoed from
It's walls. Mrs. Shatfenburg bravely
faced the crash and in short time
was comfortably established as the
proprietres of a pleasant boarding
house.
Many are the stories that gossips
have set adoat to account for the sin
gular proceeding of the other night,
but 1t is clearly established that there
has existed betMeen the two an init
macy, which 1t was thought would
have resulted in wedlock, as divorce
had set Mrs. Shatfenburg forever free.
Scholtz had been a ledger in the Shat
fenburg home, and was thrown into
her company continually. This is
not the first exciting episode that has
occurred between them since the
breaking off of their intimacy, and it
is feared that the strange temper of
the Jealous woman may vet lead her
to some rash act.

A Big Cattle Drive.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, July 20.-An
Indian Territory dispatch says: Large
herds of cattle are passing up the trail.
Over 5000 head of horses have been
taken up within the last ten days.
Cattle are in excellent condition. The
weather has been favorable, the ranges
good, and water plentiful Reports
from the cattle centers indicate that
the drive will be larger this season
than ever before, and that the move
ment westward has scarcely commenc-
ed. Texas, Kansas, Louisiana and the
Indian country will place vast mum
bors on the trail in short time, and
it is estimated that the drive may
reach 900, 600 head.

HAVANA, July 2O.-The steamer
City of Washington, from Vera
Cruz, and to sail for New York Sat
urday, is isolated and under observa-
tons in the harbor owing to twenty
seven sick persons among" the passen-
gers and crew. One death on the
passage from Mexico. The character
of the sickness is not well defined
but it is believed to have been caused
by the drinking of water taken on
board at Vera Cruz. When the
steamer left that port there was
no sickness on board. When
she touched at Progress
) or 6 cases of sickness were report
ed and the number increased to q on
the passage to Havana. Later the
board OF health declared the sickness
to be yellow fever. The sufferers were
sent to the hospital; all the patients
belong to the crew except two passen-
gers. The ships baker and doctor died
last night. The person who died at
sea was a machinest. The steamer has
been fumigated and will sail to-mor-
row for New York.
