A LOVE LEGEND.
OF THE MoNTECITO GRAPE-VINE.
Nestled between the cloud-upped
mountains and the sea, in the sunny
r
Here, through the long winter
months,the air is mild and balmy,
and the hills are rich with verdure.
Pepper and acacia-trees mingle the
grave of their perennial foliage with
that of the sturdy live-oak and the
dry. leaved olive; all the year round;
while flowers, both wild and cultiva
ted, bloom in abounded profusion.
:Santa Barbara ciahns to be one of
the most favored spots on the globe
for bealthfulners, the geniality of its
climate, and the beauty and produe
ti‘..eness of its semi-tropical vegeta
tion. Differing from the Neapoli
tans, the Santa Barbarans say, "See
Santa Barbara and live!"
About four nines from the town,
in the valley of Montecito, grows the
now famous grape-vine, one of the
wonders' for the tourists in southern
California. It is the largest on rec
ord. It measures tour feet, four inch
es in circumference at the ground,
forty-one inches two feet from the
ground, and rises eight feet before
branching out; then, spreading with
extreme luxuriance, its branches cov
er more than five thousand square
feet, and are supported by fifty-two
trellises. The largest brunch is thir
ty inches in circumference, and were
it not for rigid pruning, the branch
es would extend indefinitely in ev
ery direction. It is of the Mission
variety and exidingly prolific, pro
ducing annually from five to six tons
of grapes, which hang in massive
clusters beneath the trellises, the ef
fect of which, in the mellow autumn
tint( , excites admiration and wonder.
1 t is claimed that it has produced 7,-
otio bunches of grapes, varying from
one to four pounds in weight each.
A bean was put in a vase for each
bunch plucked, until the beaus num
bered seven thousand. It grows on
a sunny slope of the' foot-hills, emu
' mending a fine view of the rugged
mountains in one direction, and in
the other, the lovely Montecito vat
ley, with glimpses of the blue Pacif
ic. The vine is irrigated by waters
from the hot springs a few miles dis
tant; and the country about the vine
is very beautiful and Mexican in its
natural and artificial surroundings.
There is a tradition connected with
the origin of this vine we wish to
record. Seventy years ago, during
the occupancy of the Mission fathers,
there lived in the vicinity of Los
Angels a beautiful young Spanish
girl. Nearly all Spanish girls, while
in the bloom and freshness of youth,
possess more or less of Weir national
east of beauty; but the Senorita Mar
cellina from childhood, been the
acknowledged queen among the wai
-1 dens of her native place. Her eom.
plexion, tinged with the warm, bru
nette hue of her race, was clear and
bright with tne rich tint of health.
Her wealth of black hair fell in.r.p.
piing waves far below her waist; and
her large dark eyes were fringed
with silken lashes that matched the
exquisite pencilling of the arched
brows above them. Her parents,
though belonging to the better class
of Spanish, had become poor through
extravagance and mismanagement,
and had formed the project of better
ing their fortunes by wedding their
lovely daughter to some wealthy
Don.
The lovely Marcellina did not lack
for admirers nor ardent lovers, and
among them all Senor Barbs de Do
mingues was the favorite and the ac
cepted suitor. He was handsome,
tall,and manly, but alas! without for
tune, and socially not the equal of
Marcellina. As may be supposed,
his suit met with no encouragement
from the Don and Dona Feltz., and
they,finding the attachment between
the young people was becoming
stronger than accorded with their
plans for their daughter, resolved to
remove to Santo Barbara—a mission
some hundred males north—where
resided many wealthy families,
among whom they doubted not an
alliance would be formed suitable in
fortune and position.
The announcement of their con
templated removal struck dismay to
the hearts of Marcellina and Carlos;
but the latter, receiving courage from
desperation, presented his suit to the

those defects in a lover, his fingers
and shirt fronts shone with gems.
Mareellina'S violent opposition, how
ever, while it did not wove them to
renounce their purpose, induced
them to postpone the marriage, - In
the hope that she would forget •her
former lover, and become more roe
onciled to their will. .
In the interval thus granted, the
time for the return of Carlos would I
expire; and sfircellina prayed daily
for the return of her betrothed, with'
the fortune that was to find him fa
vor In the eyes of her parents. The
two years were rapidly drawitig to a
close, and yet no sign or token had
come, save what she found in the
vigorous growth of her cherished
vine. At length her parents, press
ed with poverty and weary of their
prolonged indulgence to what they
considered an idle fancy, fixed the
day for the, edding of the suitor of
their choice, whose only recommen
dation was his wealth.
The eve of Mitrcellina's wedding
day was the second anniversary of
the parting in the olive-grove, when
Carlos told her that, if he did not re
turn or send her word within two
years, she might know he was dead.
She had crept away from the scene
of busy preparation within her home
and, hiding herself beneath the sha
dow of her beloved vine—which was
now large enough to shelter her from
casual observation in the uncertain
gloaming—she sobbed and wept call
ing upon the Virgin, in hopeless an
guish, to take her away to the spirit
world, where she believed Carlos to
be.
Approaching footsteps arrested her
attention. She started guiltily apd
attempted to hide her tears, for Ale
dared not let her parents know she
still mourned her absent lover.
"Linn—Lina!" greeted her ears in
a familiar voice, and stayed her
flight. Tremblingly she awaited the
near approach of the intruder, when,
with one wild, joyous cry of "Car
los 1" she dropped into his arms, her
beautiful head pressed close to his
throbbing heart.
It was indeed Carlos, returned at
last, faithful to his promise, bringing
with him a fortune at least equal to
that of her aged and detested suitor.
Carlos, with faith in his love and
confidence in his ultimate success,
followed the Indian tierces the coast
range into the heart of the Sierras;
where he proved the honesty of his
guide and the truth of his promises
by the marvellous deposits of gold to
which he led them. Two years suf
ficed to gain the fortunes for which
they so earnestly sought and strove.
All other things being egad, the
Don and Donna consented that their
daughter sholnd choose between the
suitors, and the next day, instead of
being led to the altar a wretched sac
rifice to their ambition and avarice,
she went as the willing and happy
bride of her adoring Carlos.
Years passed away;Don and Donna
Feliz died, and reverses depriftred
Carlos of his wealth. But, strange
to say the faithful vine, once a token
of fidelity between the lovers, now
became the means of support; for so
prolific had it become, and so little
did the indolent Spanish about them
turn their attention to the culture of
the grape, that its fruit brought
them an income sufficient for their
maintenance.
About twelve years ago a second
vine sprang up near the original one,
and grew rapidip, until now it near
ly equals it in also. A large dancing
floor waserected beneath the shadow
of the vine, and here the Spanish
youths and maidens united in -the
merry dunce on Sabbath evenings.

When the Legislature met. Carney
did not go toTopeka forseveral days.
During the latter part of the week
when he did go, and on the evening
of his arrival; Len. Smith called up
on him, and said that the canvass

witness's assistance was the only
thing necessary to insure success.
The next day Carney called together
the Leavenworth delegation for con

delegationwetv in favor of Mr. Cal

only ruembens of the Legislature
whom Carney knew of who were his
supporters. Some of the delegation
pressed Carney to allow his name to
be used. This he refused to do, say
ing that if he was a candidate both
he and Caldwell would be defeated.
It was currently reported that Cald
well would spend $250,000, and he,
Carney would have no chance. car
new afterward called together some
of hics other friends in the Legislature
and-Similar consultations took place.
A number of these latter gentlemen
then called on Mr. Caldwell, and on
their return told Qov. Carney that
they had come to thesameconelusiOn
that he had, and that he) had better
not stand as a candidate. Soon after
this Carney told Smith that he would
accept ills offer of $15,000. The bar

as a favor that Carney would take
his note at 30 dayafor $lO,OOO, and
his due-bill for ss,ooo , the latter to be
paid when CUldwell was elected.
The $lO,OOO note was paid at maturi

tations took place between Smith and
Carney alone, but the witness knew
that Caldwell was a party to them,
became he had asked Smith to pay
the due-bill, but Smith replied that
Caldwell was to pay it, Carney af
terward had several conversations
with Caldwell about this $5,000. On
one occasion Caldwell said that the
Kansas Piscine Railroad owed him
some money as a part or his election
expenses. but that they had not paid

get any legislation, as far as he was
concerned. until they did pay it.

had paid him $7,000. The circum

he had no doubt that he could carry

On another occasion Carney heard
Len Smith say that if he was in Cald-
Caldwell's place he would not give
Clarke a cent. It was generally un
derstood that some arrangement had
been made between them. Two or
three days before the election a Mr.
Manning, a member of the Legisla
ture, called on Carney to ask his ad
vice about voting, Carney told him
that between Clarke and Caldwell he
had better vote for the latter. Man
ning said that he would not take any
of Caldwell's money, but that if he
could get u loan of $2.,000 for two or
three years, on his note responsibly
indorsed, be would vote for Caldwell.
Carney mentioned the matter to
Caldwell, and he said that he should
be glad to give Manning such a loan.
After the election Caldwell said that
he did not have the money aqd could
not, therefore, lend it. In closing
his testimony Carney said that
the Senatorial campaign of 1871, was
a very dirty and very disgraceful one.

For the past two weeks the city of
Marseilles, France, has been intense
ly excited, la consequence of a very
singular affair, the heroine of which
is a lady of American birth, and ex
cellent connections in this country.
About six years ago, Henry F. Big

210 Canal street, New Orleans, failed
in that city, in consequence of losses
sustained during the civil war, and
went to Marseiles, where he sue
meded in obtaining a good position
in a prominent mercantile house.
Mr. Bigelow was a widower, and
was accompanied by his only daugh
ter, Bertha. then about eighteen
years old, and endowed with remark
able personal charms. Her father
moved in the best society of his blew
home, and the beauty and grace of
his daughter were not long in attract
ing admirers. She treated them po
litely, but, alter all, coldly, until one
day she was brought in contact with
a dashing Frenchseatnao,of the First
Oriental steamships. His name was
Maurice Kervel. He was but little
over thirty yam old, tall and hand
some, an excellent conversatiottalist,
and the very man ta wit/ the good
graces of a susceptible young lady.
He became very intimate with Miss
Bertha Bigelow, aud oue day he as-

that Kervel was a man of extrava

be was extremely quarrelsome, and
had fought-several duels; that he bad

for eighteen months, applied to the
Court for an annulation of his mar
riage with Miss Bigelow, and he was
waiting for a rendition of the decree

counting room in the Rue Grande,
pouring over his ledger, when the
door was suddenly opened, and a
veiled lady stepped in. She drew
back her veil, and displayed a bronz

only too well. In the next moment
he rushed into her arms, exclaiming,
"Bertha! Bertha!" It is his long
lost wife.
The explanations elle gave him
while they sat locked In each other's

chroniquor of the Marseilles Noure

had rarely met with anything more
romantic in his long Journalistic ca

the evening when she had been part

Into the garden to breathe a little
fresh air. All of a sudden she had
been seized by several men, who
rushed from behind a shrub. In an
instant they had blindfolded and
gagged her, and carried her to a car

her. Then had become uncon

she found herself in the cabin of a
ship,which was rocking in the waves.
To her dismay; Aratirice Kervel was

told her cooly that he had long ago
left the naval service of France, and
was now master die bark in the Le

to restore her to liberty, which he
refused, informing her at the same
time that she would henceforth have
to live with him his villa in the

threatened to kill her in case she at

servants, whose language she was

day told her she must go with him
up the Nile. Two days afterward he
brought her to the country place of a
wealthy Fgyptian, Balan Bey, and
to her horror be found that Kervel
had ceded her to him, and that she
was henceforth to be the inmate of
an Oriental harem,filled with Egypt

looked with decided aversion upon

On Friday list there appeared at
the office of Esquire Culbertson, in
Venango boro, Crawford county, a
very neatly attired and handsome
looking young lady, of about twenty
years of age. who sought a private
interview with the Squire. It was
accorded her, and she proceeded to
unravel a very remarkable and yet
romantic episode in the history of
her life.
Five years ago, when she was
about fifteen years of age. she was
living with a family who resided in
Cussewago township, about two
miles from Venango bore. During
the time the resided there, a young
man came along and stopped for a
few weeks at the house where she
was staying, being a friend or ac
quaintance of the family. While
this young man was there, who was
only about sixteen years of age, the
family had occasion to visit some
friends at a distance, which would
require a stay of some three days,
and in their absence left the young
girl and the young man beforespoken
of to take awe of the house. A storm
cowing up, the old folks were de
layed from home longer than they
expected, but when they returned
they found everything apparently
all right. In a few days the youngi
man left, and in due season the young'
girl hail to take upon herself the
name of mother, without. however,
the honors. A bright, bouncing and
healthy baby was the result of these,
few days of experience in housekeep
ing on the,,part of those young and
ardent lovers.—The poet nays:
'salve sue the love of two hearts yoang and beating
With passion's wave. fierce as the ocean's swell
W ben tile deep billows, high and wild, are meeting
And Wending Into one: and the soft knell
That sally rings from lips in tender greeting
Is like the tnnslc of ato bell;
And each fair cheek with mutual blushing glows
In all the bright effulgence of the rose.
However, in this case the poet's
wish was carried rather further than
designed, even by the poet himself,
and consequently the result.

The city of San Francisco is not re
tnarkable for the high state of its matri

somewhat improved in the past decade,
but there is yet a certain eccentricity in
San Franciscan mat ital circles that is pe
culiar to the climate and the place. In
the matter of divorces there Is a '-hante
for the better. In IS,11) the divorces
granted were more than ten per cent. of
the whole number of families, while in the
past yoir the proportion fell to five per

A case has just appeared before the courts
where a young man, wedded to a very
beautiful and estimable yoilug lady, ah

the simple expLsnatfou that the occasion
had proved too much for his equanimi

Another case. just developed, is that of
an enterprising youngster whO married a
lady of wealth, forged a power ot attorney

private detective followed him into Kan
