Gen. Mcclellan $ Romance.

A very interesting story was told
about a year ago about Mcclellan s
first meeting with his wife. He
married her, yon know. In 1860 and
the relations OF the two during the
last quarter of a century have been
the happiest. Mrs. Mcclellan ac-
companied her husband everywhere
and was helpmeet in the true sense
of the word. She was very proud
of her husband and was very sensi-
tive to any ridicule of him. He met
her in churct in Baltimore in
1860, one cold Sunday morning.
He was then travelling through :he
United States on a health tour and
had reached Baltimore on Saturday
night The next morning he left
the hotel and went to the nearest
church. The usher took him up to
the front and seated him In a pew
which was already occupied by
very handsome young lady. The
sermon was prosy and Mr.. McClel-
Ian devoted himself TO casting sly
glances at his seat-mate. He CON
cluded that she was fair. As he
caught fuller view of her he decid-
ed she was beautiful, and when at
last he saw her features aud her
eyes looked into his he felt that he
had met his fate. As they passed
out of the pew the young lady
blushed under MCClellan's admiring
gaze He followed her home and
found that she lived in one of the
handsomest houses of the city. On
inquiry he found that this house was
owned by General K. B. Marcy, the
father of one of mis- schoolmates at
West Point. Mcclellan at once
called upon young Marcy and
through him obtained an introduc-
tion to Marcy's sister, Ellen. He
began to pay her attentions and
found upon acquaintance that she
improved. His love was reciprocal
led. They were engaged, and in
Nav. 1860. thew were married.

Why the Senate Laughed.

Judge David Davis, when he pom
derously presided over the Senate,
preserved the manners of the bench
and ruled in an arbitrary manner
never before witnessed at the capi-
tai. One of his annoyances was a
debate protracted after his usual
dinner hour, and when the time ar
rived be would look around implor-
ingly ior a motion to adjourn. If
no Senator made the motion, he
would boldly humble out:
The Senator from -- Cindis-
tinct) moved to adjourn. Those in
favor say yes those opposed, no.
The Senate stands adjourned I'LL II
O'Clock tomorrow.
This assumption by the presiding
officer was tacitly permitted and en-
joyed by some of the other Senators,
who also liked to dine at an early
hour.
One day Senator Ingalls,, of Kan
sas, had risen to debate on an i'm
pJrtant bill which was under con-
sideration, when Judge Davis, who
wanted to 90 to dinner, looked to-
ward the other side of the Senate
chamber, mumbled out his motion,
and declared it carried. So the SEN
ate adjourned to the astonishment
and yexation of Ingalls,.
"Mr. President" he exclaimed in
the distinct enunCiation for which
he was so celebrated, Il am aston
ished."

well up before him so that it over
flowed the Vice Presidential desk

out deliberately:

a Big Snake Story.

On Wednesday, learning through
Thomas 0'Neal, of this town, that
party of woodchoppers, while telling
tree the day previous near the old
Smith Ashley rancho, Pacheco, and
some three miles from Concord, bad
discovered an enormous snake, the
dimensions of which aroused our at
tention, we Immediately repaired to
the scene of the discovery. There
stretched before us lay an objeet,the
body of which was snake like in
proportions. measuring fourteen feet
seven inches long, three feet around
the largest part of the body, and ia
pering gradually toward the tail.
The head resembled that of croco-
die, row of large, pointed teeth
lining its Jaws, the upper jaw ex-
tending forward from the anterior
angle of each eye the skin was
light colored, spotted with black
coat of hair, in places twelve inches
long, extending In a continuous line
from head to tail and its body be-
ing ornamented with eight pairs of
short webbed feet. The entire mon
strosity would weigh about 200
pounds. The discovery was made
after the tree fell, which was found
to be hollow, the reptile crawling
from it, which so scared the wood
choppers that they fled to town,
leaving hats and coats behind. It's
general appearance was that Of the
amphisbena, genus of saurians
that abound in South America, and
which live mostly on small insects.
But how this particular creature
came in this vicinity is for the ser
wants OF California to study up. We
are sorry the reptile was killed, as it
might have adorned the interior of
a menagerie However, we should
suggest that the officers OF the Cali
fornia Academy Of Sciences dispatch
one Of its experts to determine the
species of the REPTILE COHcord( CAD

about a year ago, an assistant sur

patients. poor child of ten, sufler-
ing irouI hip disease. She lay day
after day in her little white cot. with
nothing to occupy her thoughts but
her pain. The surgeon saw her one
day trying TO make a doll OF her
fingers, playing With it, and at last
giving it up with weary sigh, turn
ing to watch the sunlight creeping
over her bed as she had done for
months. That afternoon the doctor,
passing a shop, bought long soft
ribbon, of an exquisite rose color,
and gave it to little Katie. She was
breathless with pleasure, smoothed
it out, held it up, soft and shiLing,
In the sun, and looked at the friend,
speechless with tears OF ecstacy.
From that time she was rich. The
purse told the doctor week later
that the child played with the rib
bon all day, twisted it about her
head, playing that she was bride,
princess, fairy (; held it In her

folded in paper, under her pillow at
night. 1t was found necessary, af-
ter two months, 10 perform capital

unsuccessful, Is fatal. Ii was done
by two OF the foremost surgeons in
London. When the poor little suf-

cried for DR.. s.. "He is all the

for him. said the surgeon, and the
young assistant, blushing furiously,
was brought in. He held one of
Katie's hands, the other was cleneh-
ed tightly over a pin roll. which
dropped from her grasp, during the
operation. When the effect OF the
ether passed, she opened her eyes
and looked at DR. s.. "RlbOOn,n

a trifling gift, yet 1t had frightened

A Dakota Diana.

The wife of Marxuis de Mores Is
a handsome little brunette who IS
one of the best rifle shots in the
West, and who rides a well as she
shoots. She is the daughter of bank
er Won Hoffman of New York city,
and is namesake of her aunt, the

who will always be thought OF as the
second wife of the late Sam Ward,
who won her while she was already
the betrothed OF a rich young
Frenchman. Nine de Mores has
recently been with her husband
keeping him company in the Bis
maTck Jail. As before remarked,
she is an expert with the rifle, and
when at home delights in sharing
the wild and free life of her husband.
On a recent hunting trip to the Big
Horn mountains, out Of the six
grizzly bears bagged by the entire
party, this little lady, alone and un-
aided. shot and killed four. On the
plains she rides and shoots faultless-

mad on her well trained buffalo
pony, an eagle plume in her hat,and
a rifle siung from her saddle. She
looks the very picture fwild beauty.
In st. Paul or other cities she is the

AMPUTATION OF THE LEG.

a cynic or a fool will affect to despise it. Mr.
Abram Ellsworth, Of Port Even, Ulster County.
n. Y. had realized this truth His disease in
yolved the whole Of his thigh-bane, and the suf-
fering man looked forward, not without apparent
reason. to death as bis only deliyerer. The fami-
ly physicians refused to amputste the Limb, as
serting that the operation would kill the patient
on the spot. DIR. David KENNEDY, Of Ron
dout, n. Y, who was consulted, held a different
opinion, and smputated the limb. The Doctor

day in the bloom of health. This gentleman's

After the Honeymoon.

( Young married people are sur
/ prised when they discover that the
honeymoon is not entirely composed
of honey. Even the first year OF
married life is not the happiest,
though it ought to be very happy.
Living together happily Is an art
which the most affectionate couple
cannot ordinarily learn in a year.
Each has to make some very un-
pleasant discoveries and to overcome
some fixed inclinations. True hap
piness begins when these discoveries
have been mace, and each is thor
oughly resolved to make the other
happy as possible for all time.
Marriage is sometimes said TO- be
the door that leads deluded mortals
back to earth; but this need not and
ought not to be the case. Certainly
love may end with the honeymoon
if people marry to crafty gun
powder passion, !" or for the sake OF
mere outward beauty, which is like
glass soon broken. OF course, the
enthusiastic tempestuous love OF
courting days will not long survive
marriage. A married couple soon
get to feel toward each other very
much as two chums at college, or
two partners in business who are
at the same time old and well-tried
friends Young married people often
think that those who have been in
the holy state of matrimony twenty
or thirty years longer than them
selves are very prosy, unromanlc,
and by no means perfect examples
of what married people ought 10 be-

Big Nuggets OF Gold.

In the winter of '49 the writer of
this saw and handled the largest
piece of gold that had yet been found
in California. 1t weighed twenty
two pounds and nine ounces, and
was estimated, by careful weigh
ing in water and otherwise, to con-
tain FIVE pounds of quartz, the rest
being pure gold. The finder sold it
for $1,000, and it was subsequently
sold in San Francisco for $4,000.
1t was found at Sonora, then known
as the Sonorian Camp, by lazy old
Mexican ''greaser," who was roofing
about in holes and pits that whites
and Others had dug out and aban-
doned in the outskirts of the town.
As soon as he found it be washed it
of, took it to the nearest monte"
bank and lost $500 on it as soon as
be could conveniently. He had lots
of fun in short space of time for
the $1,000, which they allowed him
for the nugget In this connection
the Grass Valley Union of October
10th prints the following: Louis
Blanding says the generally accept
ed statement that the largest nugget
ever found in California was worn a
little over S21 900, is an erroneous
one. He says that J. ]. Finney,
old Virginis, found piece of gold
about six miles from Downieville,
Sierra County, on the 2lst of Au-
gust, 1857. that weighed 5000 ounc-
es. The gold of that vicinity was
worth SIS an ounce, which would
make the value of the nugget some
$4,000. This would make the Fin
ney nugget the largest piece of gold
ever discovered, so far as accounts
go, Heretofore the Australian mug
get, found in the Ballarat gold-felds,
has been considered the largest. 1t
was valued at 100000. Finney, or
Old Virginia. as he was familiarly
called, afterwards went to Washoe
when the first silver discoveries were
made there, and from him the town
of Virginia took its name. The man
who discovered the largest nugget
in California mines and gave his
name to the richest mining camp in !
the world, died in extreme poverty"
