Poles, has lived in pretty little cottage a
mile or more from Mt. Carmel, Pa. His
daughter. Paulina, is charming blond, and
highly educated, speaking all the European
languages auently. A Polish merchant, OF
Shenandoah, who had acquired large for
tune by trading with his counrrymen, was
favored by the father as sutton for the young
lady's hand, and to all appearances she was
not ayerse to him.
Monday was the time fixed for the we'd
dug, but at the appointed hour the father
and the Shenandoah merchant learned that
Paulina, under the pretense of visiting Phil
adelphia friends, had met her lover, John
McKeowp, in New Jersey town, where
the two had been married. For time a
furious storm ragged in the Scbieski cottage,
and the father consulted counsel to have
the marriage annuled, but was informed by
his lawyer that since both were of age and
had satisfied Jersey justice, the marriage
was legal. A few hours later he forgave his
daughter and invited her back to his house.
The Shenandoah merchant returned to his
home almost broken hearted.

LETTER FROM RICHMOND.


Correspondence Oh the ALEXANDRA 6AZETTEJ
RICHMOND, Va, January 2l-Ihe mair
question raised in the Senate to-day wher
House bill appropriating $4,000 to wound
ell aud disabled soldiers came up, was
How can the money be best appropriated ?
No Senator opposed the amount, but severa
expressed themselves in opposition to the
plan kat has been in vogue They con
tended, aud not without cause, that wound
ed aud disabled soldiers living in remote
sections of the State have not been put OF
equal footing with those who hail from
counties nearer Richmond. The idea o.
the Senate is 10 pass an act that will
place every man qualified to draw pen
sion on the same footing. Senator Rbea'l
substitute, which will probably supplant the
House bill, puts the amount to be ap.
proprated at S75 900 and gives until April
Isl for all disabled soldiers to put In their
claims. This subsequent bill will be con.
sidered by the Senate Committee on Fl
nance to morrow morning.
The friends OF Hon. James n. Dunlop,
member of the House from Richmond, an.
Ii :ipate a big speech from him when the
Meckleuburg contested election case comes
up. Mr.. Dunlop Is regarded as the most
eloquent man in the Legislature, and when
ever he speaks lie is listened to with marke ed
attention.
Mr.. Downing, the delegate from Clarke
and Warren, Is also coming to the front.
He has already made fine impression.
Gov. Lee wants $1,000 appropriated to-
wards reopeniDg and reftting the Govern
or's mansion, and the Senate has voted to
appropriate this amount. The House
agreed to give only 1900, but the Senate
would not think about voting 5000 when
$4,000 is needed, and, therefore, they pass
ed, by vote almost unanimous, the amend.
ment inserting $4,000 in the place of So, 900.
The bill as amended will come up
in the House tomorrow, probably, and
that body will no doubt concur In the Sen.
ate amendment. This being the case, work
will be started ct once, and the mansion
will be put in readiness for Gov. Lee and
family about the time the Legislature adj
jourDs.
The discussion of the local option bill in
the House to-day, disclosed the fact that
there are delegates strongly opposed to the
bill. The bill will pass, though, by an over
whelmine vote. B. P. O.

Especial re:pondence of the AleIs. GAZETTE
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. p, 1886.
A Western editor, who applied for q Pc
sition subject to the rules of the civil service
was told to write an article on Samuel
Adams. He complied, but the article said
very little about Samuel, and great deal
about the absurdity of the civil service law.
That letter, though written grammaticaliy
and excellently, was sufficient TO exclude
the writer from the list of possible ap-
pointees.
The House Committee on Pensions have
agreed to extend the time for applying foT
arrearages Of pensions until January, 1888.

ouired to complete the improvements TO
Norfolk harbor, and 81 100000 for the im
provement of the James River.
Dr.. Moran of Fairfax county, Va, who
discovered that $4l 900 due Virginia from
the proceeds of the sale of public lands, had
been drawn from the Treasury during the
war but never accounted for, says that G
suit will be brought against the Govern
ment for the remaining 81 800 600 due the
State from the same fund, and that the Viz.
ginia Legislature will request the Virginia
Congressional delegation to use their ut.
most efforts to procure the payment of tina.

lamp is portable, being fed by secondary

pounds, and is said to ba capable of giving

hours. The supply of electric energy is
readily renewed, and the batteries of several
