AIS We'll That Ends Well.

CHICAGO. June 80 Last evenings
train over the Milwaukee Road carried
among other passengers, Mrs. Maggie
McVickars, who will tomorrow, at
Rochester, Mimi. be married to one of
the weaIthiest merchants of that city,
Mr.. Arthur Morton This marriage is
the result OF VOWS spoken twenty years
ago, but which were interrupted by
misunderstanding occasioned by the loss
OF q letter in the mails. In 1872, Arthur
Morton and Miss Hartley lived on the
North Side in this city and were en-
gagged. Their parents. however, consid-
cred them too young TO marry.
! 1t was agreed that young Morton
should go west, and ii at the end Of three
! wears he was able to support a wife and
thew each still loved the other. the wed
ding should receive parental sanction.
In the meantime the two lovers were not
! TO correspond for two years. Morton
went to Minnesota, and for years worked
hard to provide home for the woman
he loved He prospered fairly we'll and
acquired very comfortable property
He then wrote to Miss Hartley apprising
her of his condition and Offering her his
| hand At tn IT time Miss Hartley lived
in Milwaukee, which fact Morton knew,
but on directing the letter. through
habit, wrote Chicago instead of Mil
waukee." The Young lady, still faithful
waited long for tle letter, but at the end
of a third year became discouraged
She yielded to the opportunities of Mr..
John McVickars, and in 1873 married
him
In the meantime Morton waited for q
reply to his letter. and as one never
came he accepted il as a fact that he
had been rejected. He did not pine
away even after the marriage OF Miss
Hartley. About six months after Miss
Hartley became Mrs. McVickars she re,
eeived through the Dead Letter office
the letter written two years before by
Morton. In spite of the fact that she
was Il wife she wrote to her first love
telling of the mistake which had sepa-
rated them, and assuring him that while
she should be faithful wife her life
would have been pleasanter had she re
ceived the letter in time. Three years
ago Mr. McVickars died in this city,
where he had lived for ten years, and
about a year ago Mr.. Morton and Mrs
McVickars began a correspondence
The romance ends in the wedding, which
had been postponed twenty years.

largest in the world will be shown byreproduc-
lions OF photographs In the July Century. Pro-
lessor Edward S. Holden, chief astronomer of
the Observatory, has prepared brief paper deS

definitely the vexed question of changes on the
moons surface.
The recent discovery Of the buried treasure of
the ll-fated Bonner Party has recalled public
attention TO the experiences of this famous COM
pany of California emigrants in the SHOWS and
perils Of the Sierra III the winter of lS46-47 Ac
counts have been published OF their adventures
but it is believed that the narrative in The Cen
turns California Series in the forthcoming July
nunber of that magazine will be the first pub

writer, Mrs Virginia Reed Murphy, of San JOSE
California, relates in & simple anu graphic man
ner the adventures and msadventures OF that
fatal trip. which IN great part, though In less
degree, was typical of the hardships of that over
land emigration TO the land of gold The horrors
of the starvation period at Bonner Lake are
touched upon lightly but effectively. and the
narrative gives one a vivid impression of this
unique experience. Illustrations of notable in

.BLUE. BLOOD.

Prince Ferdinand is engaged to
be married to Mile Vacaresco.
one Of the Queens maids of honor.
The English nobility are opposing
the marriage because the lady has
no blue blood in her veins.
This blue blood business is be-
ginning to make intelligent people
tired. Centuries ago our fore
fathers were lot of hairy vaga-
bonds, living off raw meat and
sleeping in holes in the ground.
They were robbers and murderers
and those who out-robbed and out
murdered their fellows, became
rulers and those who got worsted
in the border forays became serfs.
This distinction has prevailed
for several centuries. The sue
cessfui robbers chose chiefs and
then rulers. who founded heredi-
tary lines of kings and from these
lines Of people comes the royal
families of Europe. They are now
an interbred gang OF scrofulous
creatures in whose brains are the
seeds Of madness and whose bod
les are walking advertisements OF
the nameless debauch.ries of their
miserable ancestors.
All these wretched people are
'.blue bloodei."
For centuries these families have
never produced a man or woman
who, standing alone in the world
without a title, would have attract
ed passing notice. Not painter
or poet, or sculptor. or orator or
an author, in the whole sorry lot.
Not one of them could make a
pair Of boots, forge q horse shoe
build wagon or erect a smoke
house that wasn't lop sided.
Yet people think it an honor to
marry into one of these families.
Mile Vacaresco ought to have
better sense than to want to link
herself to prince.

graduating Hiram Johnson, a
young lawyer Of Sacramento, upon
clearing a man charged with muir
der at Red Bluff. No doubt Mr..
Johnson is duly appreciative OF
the compliments paid to him, but
it seems only Fair to congratulate
the defendant in the case for his
share in having been innocent of
the crime charged.-Placer Repub-

If the man had been guilty it
would have been n still greater

Even had he won his case by
keeping important witnesses for
the other side off the stand he
would still maintain his rank Of a
criminal lawyer.

WILL THERE BE a THIRD
PARTY?

In The meeting at Indi annapolis
last week North Carolina was hon
ored IN the reelection Of Col. l.. L.
Polk as president of the National
Farmers Alliance.
The question now upon the
tongue Of mauy is, will there be a
third party? Col. Polk has SAID
publicly and privately that he could
not say anything for or against a
third party.
That as a true Alliance-man he
can not give his influence either Tor
or against it. He has been report
ed as arraigning both tie demo
cratic and republican party in his
addresses, and especially is his mes
sage at Indianapolis. And this, 1t
has been SAID, was looked upon with
favor by those of the Alliance who
wish a third party.
THE DEMOCRAT has not thought
at any time that third party
would have much following any
where in the Union, and certainly
not in the, South, And we do not
believe that there will be any third
party to divide the democratic
party.
Doubtless some would blindly fall
into the ranks Of such a party III
the hope of getting relief from some
of the ills that we all have to heal
in common; but thousands of demo
Gratis inside and outside the Alliance
would not support third party.
Indeed we believe very few, com
paratIvely speaking, would do so
but in the event that any cOnsidera
ole numbe should 60 into a thlrC
party, the democratic party would
be 80 much weakened and the re
publican party SO much strengthen
ed thereby that the latter woult
capture everything and the country
would be handed over to the IN
merciful rule of republican malad
ministration from which there
would be no hope of recovery for I
quarter of a century to come.
But we repeat, we DO not believe
that such Will be the case. We be
lleve that the wisdom of the NOR.
conservative citizens of the cOuntr,
will hold in check all who woult
unwisely break over the democrati,
lines and precipitate disaster up0r
Us. We are a democratic people
and we will remain so.

WHAT SHALL WE DO?

This is the question almost hour
ly asked by some discouraged far
mer or some one dependent on him.
Tue rather short crop and the ex-
cecdingly low price OF cotton have
greatly depressed not only the
farmers but everybody else. And
it is truly not without some degree
of reason that men now aud then
ask what shall they do.
The DEMOCRAT believes in a
hopeful gospel. We preach 1T all
the time because We bel ,eve it,
Whenever hope Is lost all is lost.
Whenever hope aboundS success
must he the result. We are as
keenly alive to the fact that these
are hard times as any one else, but
we see no earthly good III contiual-
~ palroting the same phrase about
hard times.
The same earth and air and sun.
shine and rain and seasons are ours
that have been the inheritance of
mankind from the beginning.
And while we do not see as bright
d future just ahead as we would
like, we may rest assured that with
an uut!rlng energy in the right
direction we shall not come TO want
To be sure, the people of this coun-
try have displayed a zeal and ell
ergy for the past twenty five years
seldom, if ever, equaled by any
people of the century; and the orls
thing to do is to take a fi~mrI CLASP
upon the chances We have and
make the most of them possible.
The lands OF this favored climate
have never yet refused to yield
su>tenaGce for man and beast. SO
let US all hope on and work On to-
gether and 1t shall be we'll with US
yet.

of man, but the renewal of hope
gives consolation"
