First love is a complaint of ones earli
est days, which, like many other COM
plants. we can, luckily, have but once 1t
is dream of ones youth, nothing but a
dream, as we look back upon it dispas-
sionately through the vista OF years. But
at the time we were under its influence, it
was either delightful or dreadful reality,
as the case may have been.
When one thinks of it, it is a very Curl
Gus thing. Ask fifty women of your &C.
quaintance, or even fifty men, ''Did you
you marry your first love ?" and nineteen
| times out of twenty the answer will be,
"Oh dear, no."
Certainly. now and then, very rarely,
remarkable coincidence will happen.
The young lawyer. who went into far
countries to seek his fortune, left behind
him beloved object, to whose pareuts he
was one of the ''quite impossiblities. :"
His lady love was a fair, fragile young
girl and he hardly expected to see her
again. In seventeen years he returned, a
gray haired man. judge, and with a
handsome competence. The fair, fragile
girl was beautiful woman of seven and
thirty and still single. They are now
married and happy. Both of them waited
II years. People used to call him a
confirmed old bachelor. and as for her,
she was set down as very likely to be an
old maid People wondered such hand
some, agreeable creature never married,
and rumor whispered suspicion of a
disappointment in early life When it all
came right it was looked upon as de-

most probably. and he has come back to
find her rich. or she is struggling on in
povery, and he has made his fortune and
lays it at her feet.
But the history of first loves might fill
book. No love of after life Is ever con-
Quoted on the same principal. We look
back with a sort of tender interest on the
episode and on the manner in which it
was conducted. There was nothing mer-
cenary about it. All was pure and genuine
and gushing, not perhaps always quite
open and above board. but that only deep
ened the interest. If our parents had
said My dear if you can make up
your mind to be poor mans wife why
take him." we should not have been half
so keen about it. 1t was the opposition
that was part of the charm 1t was the
stolen meetings that were so enchanting
and the tumbled little bits of paper rolled
round the stalks of the flowers that were
so precious.
WHAT would letter. with penny stamp
on it, coming by the common post have
been, compared to the surrepttlous hap
piness of the crushed notes or the screwed
up little bits of paper?
But ah-well- a-day! The dream is all
over. We have had the complaint, bat
tied through the fever and live to tell our
story with laugh. We have got through
it our selves, but we cannot "stamp it OUT
as the doctors would say. Younger gen.

A Blue-Fyed Negress.
A WONDERFUL HUMAN CURIOSITY DIS.
COVERED IN KENTUCKY.

At first glance there was nothing pecul-
lar about iauntily dressed little negress
who entered a Market street photograph
gallery at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The face was a very black one that showed
under broad brimmed straw hat, tied
down with gaudy red ribbons, and the lips
parted over teeth that were large and glis-
tening white. Her nose was flat and her
hair was kinky. All in all, she appeared
at glance a typical Virgnaan negress,
and as she ambled up the photographer
steps with a ''Good-by, honey Use gwin
to have my pictur TUX fo' you." to the
broad mouthed and ebony young black
who had been buying her soda water in a
Green street saloon. she looked the SIM
plest of her race and sex. But when the
photographer faced her moment later
he started back with an expression of gen
uine surprise, With all her marked ne
gro characteristics there was peculiarly
about this ebony maiden that neither the
photographer nor his clerk nor ANYBODY
else about the establishment had ever
seen before.
She had deep, bright, blue eyes that
looked out at you with a liquid beauty
that would have graced the fairest in the
land. Twas weird contras:-the black
face and flat nose and the heavenly blue
eyes.
Il have been in the business for 30
years. said the photographer to cores
pendent, land have had more negroes

country, but this is the first one ever
saw with blue eyes, except, of course.
those of the Albino type. All the me-
groes have ever seen before had black
ish brown eyes, with yellowish sort of
white. Here we have genuine blue of
the most beautiful type"
AS matter of curiosity the correspond
ent talked to great many physicians.
students and scientists about the blue-eyed
negress. and only one of them had ever
heard of a similar case. Prof. Samuel
Wier said he had once known a blue-eyed
negro boy who lived near Culpepper
court house, Va, and who was the won
der of the country "He died before he
was twenty, however," said the professor,
land just when his case had begun to at
tract the attention of several scientists"

the District Court of the Third Judicial

it's jurisdiction in attempting to interfere
with the United States land officers in
tho discharge of their duties, in

ment and discretion. The Secretary
concurred with Sparks and at his request
the Attorney General gave the necessary
instructions to District Attorney. That

by the General Land Office as important

which the ratification of the union be-

from the Irish parliament, was often told
by Lord Cardwell, who heard it from the
late Sir Robert Peel, and have never seen
it in print. Lord Castlereagh was in treaty
with an influential member of the Irish
parliament for his vote, which was to carry
several others with it, and terms had been
settled, when the legislator was seized with
dangerous illuess. and repenting Of bis
iriquities when he thought himself on his

his lordship on his recovery, when be an

to THE MINER -
Fast Mail Train.

OMAHA, October 24.-It was definitely
settled yesterday that the Union Pacific
Railroad will make faster time to Butte,
saving six hours time from here. Trains
will leave four hours later and arrive in
Butte one hour and forty minutes earlier
than heretofore, while the Eastern train,
which leaves your city at 5:35 p. m, will
not leave under the new time schedule un-
til o'clock in the evening and will arrive
here four hours and thirty minutes earlier.
All trains between Ogden and Omaha will
make six hours shorter time. All the
roads connecting with the Union Pacific
and controlled by them will be affected by
the change, thus giving your merchants six
hours earlier mail and also giving them a
chance to send their days mail after
o'clock in the evening.
