A Romance of the Peerage.

In very interesting article, "The Wives of Eminent Statesmen" in the Woman at Home, we read of a romance connected with the marriage of the present marquis and marchioness of Salisbury. A judges daughter was not considered a sufficient match for the son of a marquis. The late Lord Sails bury tried to prevent the match, but as his son, then Lord Robert Cecil, was persistent, he so far relented as to make terms. These were that Lord Robert should undertake not to see or communicate with Miss Alderson for an entire year. The young lover stood the test, and at the close of the year he obtained his fathers consent; but the marquis, while continuing his allow ance of six hundred pounds year, de- clined to increase it. So runs the story; and it has been said that the ne- cessity of doing something for his own support may have assisted to develop the noble lords talent.

 "Yes; got it easy; just as you did yours."
 Mr. Reavis began to overhaul some of the ancient documents rather hastily, when Mir. Johnson said:
 Don't muss that; you used to be care- ful of these papers" "Pve ceased to regard them as sacred" said Mir. Reavis. The cross-exsmination went on in this picturesque style for some time, when some remarks from Rsavis about getting justice prompted the ex-Survey- or General to say:
 You would have got justice, then, if i the Government had had as much back bone as 1 had"
 "Yes," retorted Reavis, "you would have hanged me. From your recollec- tioh, MT. Johnson, 1 told you I saw title to l2, 800. coo acres written on the the pretty face of that little Spanish girl the day l met her on the cars.' "Tll tell you what you said about that. You said you were thir king very deeply that day about the possibility of an heir to the ant. You looked across the car, and could sse the royal blood in that girls face. You went over and spoke to her, and discovered that she was the long lost Peralta heir."
 "How long have you lived in Arizona, | Mir. Johnson?" "Thirteen years" "You won't have to live there any | longer 10 sustain the tair reputation of that territory.

NEW FOOD FOR WILD FOWL
An Experiment with Chinese Plants on
 Columbia Slough Iakes


 The carp having played havoc with the wapatoes in the sloughs and ponds on Sauvies island, on which the ducks. geese and swan used to feed, NIT. Reeder, of Reeder's Landing, has se- cured lot of Chinese wapatoes, which he will plant as an experiment, and, if they do well, will try to introduce them in the lakes, etc, says the Port land Oregonian. The Chinese here consume great many wapatoes, and also bring over from China many which are of different species, being larger and rounder. The only improvement they will be on the native kind is that they are too large for a carp to swallow, while the ducks, etc, can perhaps bite them in pieces and swallow them.
 Several efforts have been made to introduce plants on the island which might attract the waterfowl and take the place of the wapatoes and widgeon weed, but all such attempts have proved failures. Wild rice by the sack has been brought from Wisconsin ard sowed here: the seeds of the wild celery, which gives flavor to the can- vasbacks of the Potomac and the Chesapeake, have been sown, and the seeds of the ''wokus," on which ducks fatten at the Klamath lakes, have been planted; but none of them fiourished. The June rise of the Columbia is a very different thing from what any of these plants have been accustomed to, and covers them with several feet eff water, just at the time when they should be their growth. If something cannot be done to preserve the native plants on which the ducks, geese, and swan feed the next generation will have no wildfowl shooting on the Sauvies island.
