them to bear them up under the burden
OF riches. But the aunt whom Mr..
Jameson had been on his way to visit
when youth and beauty in distress ap.
peared to him, presented the bride with
sumptuously bound book of travels
entitled Forty Days in the Desert" She
must have thought this an appropriate
gift for people entering on the honey
moon. as she repeated it on the occasion
of Miss Wright becoming Mrs. Bertram.
| which event occurred IN the course of
| another year. The presentees enjoyed
the joke; there are times when even a
small joke is as sweet mamma in the
well, desert.
Mr.. Bertram had before his marriage
got partnership in the mill, and Mr..
Wright, having bought The Hawthorns,
proposed resigning that place of resi-
dence in favor OF his daughter and her
husband, but VIII declined it.; he knew
that being obliged to such a man as Mr..
Wright meant always taking his advice
when offered, and having it offered very
frequently. Sarah was quite willing to
live in the managers house till her hu5-
band could afford a better one. Mrs.
Bertram Senior continued to live in her
sons house, except when she visited her
daughter; and if, as is said, mothers and
daughters-in-law always disagree, this
case must have been the exception that
proves the rule. for the two ladies agreed
admirably; while Mr.. Bertram. by dill
gently holding his tongue and letting
his father-in-law speak. found much
favor in that gentleman's sight. Mr.
Wright, being the kind of self made man
who thinks when he takes any one by
the hand that he makes him too, felt
that when VIII became his son-in-law
he, by reason of reflected consequence,
became a man of mark and considera-
ton; even Wills dreaming visions of
scientific progress, although Mr.. Wright
did not at all approve of them, he quoted
to others with pride, but then, as he said,
"Mr. Bertrain was a practical man as
well as dreamer"
If the Ill natured railway clerk hap
pens to see this account of all that hung
upon his disobliging humor, what will
he think? Let him not be encouraged
to do evil that good may come; if Cupid
made an opportunity out Of his i'll nature
for shooting al arrow, no thanks to him.

A Freak of Nature.

A curious freak of nature was recently dis
covered. It is slab of Mexican marble
about two feet long and q foot wide, bearing
upon its face 4 beautiful mountain landscape,
which has liz some strange way been pictured
there by nature. 1t is now in the possession
of Col. A. c. Hawley, formerly adjutant gen
eral of Minnesota, and was given him by
Maj, Knappen, who owns the quarry in New
Mexico where this was found. The major is
authority for the statement that the picture
in the marble is the exact reproduction of
the scenery en- toe side of the valley opposite
where the quarry is located. Col. HawIey
explains the curiosity in this way: He says
the river and cliffs must have been photo
graphed on the marble, when it was in a
plastic condition, by the rays Of the sun

The trio were not far on their way

VIII larry Awhile.

An Oakland paper recently stated, on the
authority of Mr.. Jesse Shepard, writing
from Paris, that Mr.. Eugene O'Connell,
who halls from the city across the bay, and
who has spent several years abroad in close
study under some of the best Continental
masters of music, is about to return to Cali
fornia. In saying this Mr.. Shepard unwit-
tingly led our contemporary into error
thinking that in leaving Paris Mr.. OCon-
nell would proceed directly to his home.
Instead, he proposes to spend the WIN
ter in Berlin and then 90 to London in
the spring to hear all the great artists who
rendezvous in the worlds metropolis during
that season. Mr.. O'Connell has been enter
tainei and applauded by many of the most
eminent artists, musicians and society peo-
pie in Paris during his long stay there, and
lately by the Prince de Chimay and Duchess
de Montebello at their mansion, on which
occasion many notables were invited to hear
his studies on the violin, of which instru-
ment the young Oaklander is said to have
perfect mastery.

By advices received from the manager, Mr..

to the vocal talent of the California prima

tion is based on the following freely eX-
pressed opinion of the artistic merit of the

Grafton, OAK, October 9th. 1t Is certainly
