LUSTRATION OF DETECTIVE 9KTTX AND PERSISTENCY. TI.e New Tork Tribune snys that an heir to a larce estate in Eneland was recently diarovered in tho State of Louisiana through the means of a New York City Directory of the j-ear 1S05. The history of the anteced ents of the heir Involves a story of the sera ration of two loving brothers, who were suit ors for the same lady's hand, followed by in tense hatred, which continued until they both became old men, and finally ended in a desire for reconciliation. Hut years of sep aration, during which one brother emigrated to this country, rendered impossible the ac complishment of the desire of the brothers in old aire, and they died thousands of miles apart, united in heart, the one forgiving the other, but unable to grasp each other's hand. The direct descendant of the brother in this j country haa now been found by the Mootsey &. Doland Detective Agency. A rrj'6ne reporter recently called on Mr. Boland and asked for the particulars of how the heir was found. Mr. Boland declined at first to cive the information, stating that as the matter would have to be settled in the Courts of Eneland, he was afraid a publica- ; tion of the facts might imperil tho case of j his client. After the reporter promised not I to di"u!ee the namesi of the persons inter ! eted in the case, Mr. Boland gave tho gen ' era', outline of the story bow the heir was suliscrjucntly found. I " I wis in France on official bnsiness last j si'-ine," said Mr. Hol.tnd, " and it became r.ecessarv fur r.ie to visit England to obtain information and procure copies of docu- ments. While there in the pursuit of my j business I was invited to dinner by a harris ! ter with whom onr firm often does business. At the dinner I was presented to another barrister with whom I was totally usac quainted. While discussing affairs in gen eral the nature of my business was talked of, and when it was stated that I was a mem ber of the Mooney .t Boland Detective Agency in New York, the barrister who was a stranger to me. asked if I could look up to tliejdescendants of a man who had emigrated j to New York just after the Revolution. I replied that I had ample facilities in my New York office for tracing up people, but, as it was a matter of expense, a successful search would depend mainly on a generous outlay of money, replied that money would not be refused if the person was found, and that a liberal allowance would be given for an energetic effort. Well, we finally concluded arrangements, and I was told to begin the search at once. The story that he told me was a sad and touching one in many particulars. Over a hundred years ago, two brothers, the only children of their parents, were engaged togeMier in a smail business in one of the principal thorough fares fn London. They prospered only slowly in business, but they shared their n.isfortunes together, and the life of one was only a reflection of the daily habits of the other. " When both men reached maturity they discovered that they both entertained an af fection for the same lady, who was, like themselves, without an abundance ot this world's goods. The deep love and strong attachment which had always existed be tween the brothers, changed from day to day as each pressed his suit. It did not take long for the elder brother to discover that the younger one had the warmer place in the lady's heart, but thinking, probably, that faint heart never won fair lady, he pressed , his claim persistently and strongly. The I climax was reached one day when the elder ; brother was dismissed from the lady's house, i and was told that her hand and heart were ! promivd to his brother. Rage followed this ; announcement, and a stormy interview, ' which almost ended in a combat, ensued be I tween the brothers. It was evident that j they could no longer remain in business to ! pettier, and the yonnger brother retired to i seek a livelihood elsewhere. He received some money from the business, but reverses j soon diminished his capital to small figures. I A short time after his marriage the youneer , brother emigrated to this country and settled I in tliis city. The elder brother continued the business In London, prospered, became married, and had one child, ' The child of tne elder brother proved to be a man of unusual sagacity and shrewd ness. The father often narrated to the son the story of his separating from hia only brother and regretted that they had not long ago been united, ne said thai in his young days he would never see such a perfect wo man again as the one who had refused his proffered suit, But the wife vthoin he sub sequently married changed his views, and made his life almost a pleasant dream, ex- 1 cept that he did pot know where to address j his brother to ask pardon for the wrong he j had done him, and to extend to him the hand ' of reconciliation and peace. On his dying bed the elder brother commissioned his son to soarch every where for his lost brother or his children, extend the hand of friendship and brotherly love, and render him or his children whatever assistance he could, The son never forgot his father's wish, but as the name was a peculiarly family one, be never succeeded In finding any one of the same name who could give any information about his uncle. In early life he formed a part nership with a college student, and the firm prospered until both men amassed great ror tunes. Neither member of the firm married, and in their old age tbe partners continued business together, which consisted mainly of discounting commercial paper. Io the early part of this year the senior member of the firm, and the only child of the elder brother, died, leaving an estate valued at 100,000; ne left no will, but asked his partner to employ some means to find ont the descendants of bis ancle's children, who were somewhere in America. Tbe barris ter whom I met at dinner, was retained by the surviving partner, and I was told to make every effort to find the heir. "The search at first," said Mr. Boland, "seemed almost fruitless. I knew that the man whose descendants I was looking for arrived in this country about 1783 or 1784. After that 1 knew nothing about them. I have in my office a great quantity of old di rectories of all the principal cities of the world. Of some of the leading cities in this country I have the first directory that was ever issued. Well, I began a search through these old directories. It seemed an endless 1ob at first, as I would search persistently throuch a directory of one city without find ing any name that was nearly like the one I wanted. I thought at one time that the brother might have changed his name when he arrived in this country. But my persist ence was rewarded when I searched through a directory of this city for 1805. I knew the name was right at once, because it comprises two family names, for instance, one like Ed wards Pierrepor.t. From year to year I found trace of it again. I kept up the search until within a few years, but the name did not again appear in any of the directories. "An insuperable number of difficulties then arose. The brother might have died without children, or perhaps he only left daughters whose married names could not be traced. I finally went back to the old 1805 directory and took several names of persons who livr-d adjoining the piace where the brother kept a store. I traced one fam ily name up to the present date, and went to an old man about seventy-five years of age to see if I could learn anything about the ... . . people 1 was looking ror. To tnsrjfreat sur prise, as well as joy, I learned Sat is man was a boy ten years old when thUrother, whose descendantSjJ.was huhting-5p; lived in the same street,Ue remenjbered the family well, and said that they emigrated from New York shortly .ater tha purchase of the territory of Louisiana. The twofnm ilies kept up a corrjjppndence until the time of the war, when it was broken off because of radical rebel opinions held by the family which went to Louisiana. This man gave me the name of the place where they were in 18C9, and I finally sent to Iniisiana to find the family. We have had a large circle of friends in Louisiana since we captured the notorious Italian bandit, Esposito. By the way, it may be of interest to you to know that Esposito has been convicted in Italy and sentenced to imprisonment for life. Through friends in New Orleans the family was traced to a plantation in a neighboring parish. ' The man in charge of the plantation waa found, and a few questions in regard to his ancestors soon proved that he was the grandson of the younger brother who emi grated to this country in 1733. He is a man about flfty-onelyears of age, was bom in Louisiana, and had one brother who lived many bears in Chicago and prospered there. He died, without children, last year. The roan in Louisiana was well posted about the quarrel between his grandfather and grand nncle, and produced the document, a musty worn-out looking piece of paper, which dis solved the partnership Detween them. There are other documents in his possession which will prove nis title to the estate beyond dis pute. But, strange as it may seem, the man did not take the interest In the matter which you would expect of a man who suddenly becomes heir to a large estate. He said that he was getting old aud had all the money that he wanted for the rest of his life. He wouldn't live off his plantation fo r all the rest of the world's wealth. He has three children, however, all married, one of whom lives with him. For the sake of the chil dren, if no other reason, he will try to get the proceeds of the estate." A Small Beoinnino. An Irish washer woman who was among the earliest settlers in Leadville, Colorado, has succeeded in amassing a laree fortune by her own indus try. Her stock in trade when she came con sisted of a pair of tubs and a washboard She began business under an old pine tree on the hillside, having no means of hiring a house. She soon, however, got together with her own hands a rude slab cabin, and as business was good at two dollars and a half per dozen for washing, she gradually began to provide for her wants. She got a camp stove, and after furnishing her cabin comfortably, beKan to accumulate money. The town began to grow in tha direction of her cabin, and after awhile she employed la borers to put up a log hr use. As there was a great demand for miners' boarding-houses, the enterprising woman concluded to aban don the washtub and start a boarding-house in her new edifice. Iu the idea she received great encouragement, and the house was opened with flattering prospects. In this venture she proved to be very successful and made money and saved it. By the growth ot the city her house finally got to be in the very centre, and as the streets were laid, it proved to occupy a location on a very desirable corner. Business was new and she continued to make money, which she in vested wisely. She built another log house and rented it. Then she put up a Trame building, which Bhe rented before it was fin ished. About this time some of the "land grabbers" disputed her title to the land and tried to dispossess her. but the old lady had so many determined friends among the miners that the effort was given up. Seyer al months ago she refused an offer of ten thousand dollars for her propertv, and since that time has built a two story block front ing on a desirable avenn. She still lives iu her log house, but intends to tear it down and ?rect a two story block in its place.

A famous novelist, Capt Mayne Reid, a native of the County Antrim, Ireland, now resident in England, has been compelled to correct certain misrepresentations indalged in by ambitious correspondents, relative to the part he took In the Mexican War. espe cially at the storming of Chapultepec Castle, which commanded the capital, on the morn ing of Septemoer 13, 1847. In a letter to a newspaper recently published, the gallant Irish soldier gives the following straightfor ward and stirring account of the famous and decisive assault : On the day when Chapultepec was storm ed (September 13, 1847) I was in command of the grenadier company of the Second New York Volunteers my own and a de tachment of United States marines acting with ns as light infantfy ; my orders being to stay by and guard a battery we built on the southern side of the castle during the night of the 11th, and which did good work on the 12th. It was about 1,000 yards from and directly in front of the castle's main gate, through which our shots went crashing all that day. Tbe final assault had keen fixed for the morning of the 13th, a storming party of 500 men, or "forlorn hope," as it was called, having volunt eered for this dan gerous duty. They were not exclusively regulars, as the letter writer asserts, but of all arms of the service, a Captain of regular infantry having charge of them, with a Lieutenant of Pennsylvania volunteers as his second in command. At an early hour the three divisions of our army (Worth's, Pillow's and Quitman's) closed in upon Chapultepec, our skirmishers driving the enemy's outposts before them, some of those retreating up the hill and into the castle, otheis passing around it and on towards the city. It was now expected that our storm ing party would do the work assigned to it, and for which it had volunteered. Standing by our battery, at this time necessarily si lent, with the artillery and engineer officers who had charge of it Lieuts. Huger and Hagner we watched the advance of the at tacking line, the puffs of smoke from mus ketry and rifles Indicating the exact point to which it had reached. Anxiously we watch ed it. I need Dot say or add that our anxie ty became apprehension when we saw that about half way up the slope there was a halt Bomethinc impeding its forward move ment. Now, sir, for the motive that led me to act as I did, and which the newspaper correspondent has o much misconstrued ; I knew that if Chapultepec were not taken neither would the city be, and, failing in this, not a man of us might ever leave tbe Valley of Mexico alive. Worth's Iii judicious attempt upon the intranchments of Mollno del Rey to give it no harsher name our first retreat duiing the campaign bad great ly demoralized, while reversely affecting tbe Mexicans, inspiring the latter with courage they had r ever fell before. And there were 30,000 soldiers of them to our 10,000 three to one to say nothing of a host of rancberos in the country around and leperos in tbe city, all exasperated against us, tbe inva ders. We had become aware, moreover, that Alvarez, with his spotted Indiana (Pin tos), had swung around in our rear and held the mountain passes behind us, so that re treat upon Pueblo would have been impossi ble. This was not my belief alone, but that of evry intelligent officer in tbe army, the two who stood beside me feeling sure of H as myself. And this certainly it was, combined with the slow progress of tbe attacking force, which determined me to take part in tb assault that aud nothing else. As the senior engineer officer outranked me, it was necessary I should have his leave to forsake the battery now Deeding no further de fense. Leave was freely and Instantly giv en, with the words, "Go, and God be with you I" The Mexican flag was still waving tri u.nphautly over the castle, and the line of smoke puffs had not got an inch nearer it. Nor was there much change in tbe situation when, after a quick run across the interven ing ground with my following of volunteers and marines, we came up with tbe stormiug party at halt and irregularly aligned along the base of the hill. Fur what reaiion they were staying there we knew not though I afterward heard that it was some trouble about scaling-ladders. I did not pause to inquire, but breaking tluougii their line, with my brave followers, 1 pushed on up the slope. Near its summit we found a scatter ing of soldiers some of them in the gray uniform of the Voltigeur ragimeut, others Ninth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Infantry men. Tucy were the skirmishers who had thu far cleared tbe way for us, and far ahead of the "forlorn hope." But beyond iay the real area of danger a sloping ground, some forty yards in width, between ua aud the castle's outward wall iu short, the glacis. It was commanded by three pie ces of cannon on tbe parapet, which swept it with grape and cannister as fast as they comd be loaded and fired. There seemed no chance fwr us to advance farther without meeting certain death; but it would be death all the same if we did not: such was my thought and eonviction at that moment. Just as I reached this point there was a mo mentary lull, which made it possible to be heard, and the words I then spoke, or rather shouted, are remembered by me as though It were but yesterday : "Men I if we don't take Chapultepec the American army is lost. Let us charge up to the wall I" A voice answered : "We will charge if any one leads ns 1" another adding : "Yes, w are ready I" At that instant tbe three guns on tbe par apet belched forth their deadly showers al most simultaneously. My heart bounded with Joy at hearing them go off thus togeth er. It was our opportunity, and, quickly comprehending it, 1 leaped over the scrap which had sheltered us, calling out : "Come ont I will lead you I" It did not need looking back, to know that I was followed. The men I had appealed to were not the sort to stay behind, else they would not have been there, aud all came af ter. When about half way across the open ground I saw the parapet crowded with Mexican artillerists, in uniform of dark blue with crimson facings ; each musket in hand, and all aiming, as I believed, at my own person. There was a reason for their so concentiatiug their fires which I need not here enter iot. Tbe volley was almost as one sound, and I avoided it by throwing my self flat along the eaitb, just In tbe nick of time, only getting touched on one of tbe fin gers of my sword hand, another shot passing through tbe loose cloth of my overalls. In stantly on my feet again, I mads on to tbe wall, there to be tumbled over by the bullet of an escopet, about an ounce In wnight, that went tearing through my thigh. But only a few scattered shots were fired after, as the scalding ladders now came up ; some scores of men went swarming over tbe para pet, and Chapultepec was ours. My Lieu tenant. Hypolite Dardonville, a young Frenchman, modest as brave, dragged the Mexican flag down from its staff. He died some fourteen years ago in the city of New York, without any record of the deed or word said about It save Id an obituary penned by bis own band in an obscure mag azine of which I was the editor. And now, sir, I must crave yonr pardon, as that of the American public, for troubling you with this personal matter and the de tails of a deed it never was my intention to publicly speak of, mnch less boast about The doing so is to me more repuguant than pleasant, I can assure you ; but acts and motives have been imputed to me which I cannot, should not, rest silent under; and this, I hope, will plead my justification. Capt. Reid fortifies his statement with several Utters from officers who were en gaged in the battle, and who witnessed bis heroism. Pressure on our office forbids ns the pleasure of reproducing them. TIES BUTLER'S BRIDGE. THI WAT VAPSACHrSBTTS' HEW OOVBIIKOK MADE THK MOST If ARROW ES CAPE OK HIS LIFB. The recent triamph of Ben Butler and the clever device by which he neutralized the effects of the "splits" ic his own ranks, says Derrick Dodd in the San Francifrco Pof, recalls an Incident ln the General's early ca reer, and which Is Interesting as showing that even In his youth Ben displayed those strategic abilities which have since done so much for his military and political carear. It appears that young Butler wa much enamored of a pretty girl who lived on a farm about six miles from that of the Butler family in the western part of Massachusetts. The country beauty was a coquette, howev er, and kept quite a large train of admirers in suspense, each rival doiug bis best to gain tbe advantage of tbe others. At last mat ters were brought to a climax, and the dam sel appointed a certain night when she would render her final decision as to which suitor she preferred. It goes without saying that they were all better looking than Ben, but the latter de termined to put the Inside of his head against the outside of those of his opponents. The nearest way to the fair flirt's house and the one taken by all her eager followers, was over a bridge formed by a single and some what slippery log placed across a deep brook in the rear of the house. Young Butler re paired to this bridge an hour earlier than the areustomed "eourtin" time," carrying a pail of lard with which he carefully anoioted the log by tbe mellow moonlight, backing him self across it astraddle. As he afterwards sat with bis sweetheart, waiting for the other suitors to appear, a loud splash came from the direction of the brook. Ben's game eye twinkled, anl in imagination be could see one of his gor- geously got up fellow-candidates ell tubing np the opposite bank with bis teeth chatter ing and heading for home across lots, but the conspirator looked as Innocent as a cat in the dairy and said nothing. Pretty aoon there came another conse, and afier a while another. The beauty began to look at the clock, and showed evidence of decided pique at the negligence of her other admirers a circumstance Ben did not fail to turn to his own profit. Presently he could faintly hear voices ln the distance, and he knew that the iast two swains were approaching together. Pretty soon came a tremendous double splash. "Dear me," said the young lady, "how the fish are jumping to-night!" The upshot of it was that when thn future Governor rose to go the slighted beauty gave him her Land. Sealing the bargain with an old fashioned husking bee kiss, Butler left his prize in such a state of exultation that lie forgot all about the greased log, and tho first thing he knew both heels hit him in tbe back of his head and be took a header down below, just as his victims had done. ne climbed up the already well-clawed bank and made six milea to home, uttering Kear neyisms unfit for publication. He was ta ken witn chills and fever as a result, and, when he got well, fouud his fianeee had eloped with a hired man. Butler tells this as the narrowest escape of his life, as be says the girl began eating onions the very next day after she became engaged. The General bas been lucky ever since. How She Becamb Rich. The Dowag?r Duchess of Calleira not long since bestowed two splendid estates on the Pope. The way thir old lady became so rich Is curious. The late Duke possessed a fortune of 300,000,000 francs, which would by the ordinary course of revolution goto his only son. The heir, however, in his father's lifetime, declared that he Intended to renounce trie world. In stead of retiring to a cloister, as he would have done in the middle ages, he went in his twentieth year into the territory of Nice and applied for a situation as a village scnooi master. His father regarded the thing as a mere freak, and sent his son every year 300,000 francs. The young man, however, sent this sum every year to Paris, requesting that it should be expended on the poor. Af ter three years the Minister of Instruction, finding out who the schoolmaster of Nice was, appointed him to a high official post, and his rather dying aoout the same time he became Duke of Galleira and the owner of immense wealth. He declined the post, and allowed his mother to use the fortune with out Interference, content with his position and iucome as a teacher at Nice. Theodore was a poor lad. One day, when he was very hunizry, he espied a five cent piece on the floor of the broker's office which he was sweeping out. He bad re membered stories wherein little boys had picked up a small piece of money, handed it to the great merchant or rich banker, and been immediately taken into partnership. So Theodore stepped up to the door of the broker's private room arid said, "Flease, sir, here is a five-cent piece I found on your floor." The broker looked at Theodore a moment and then said, "Yon foun t that on my floor, did you ? And you are hungry, arn'tyou?" "Yes, sit," replied Theodore. "Well, give it to me, and get out. I was looking around for a partner ; but a boy who doesn't know enough to buy bread when he is etarvino- to death would make but a sorry broker. No, boy, I can't take you into the firm." And Theodore never became a great broker. Honesty is the best policy, children, but it is not Indispensible to success in the brokerage business. nrCKa.EJi'S ABSICAJStLTE.

The drummer Inhabits railroad trains, ne is always at home on the cars. He also tem porarily infests the best rooms in hotels. In winter he wears an ulster with a surcingle hanging loose behind, and in summer a linen duster. He is usually swung to a satchel, contain ing a comb and a brush, another shirt, a clean celluloid collar and a pair of cuffs; also a railroad guide and a newspaper wrapped around a suspicion looking bottle. This is about all the personal baggage he carries. except a Seaside Library novel and a pocket kuife with a corkscrew in the back of it. IHe haa a two-story iron bound trunk, containing samples, which he checks through to the next town. Ha always travels for a first class house the largest firm in their line of busi. ness In the United States; a firm that sells more goods and sells them cheaper than any two houses in the country. He !s very mod est about stating these facts, and blushes when he makes the statement, but he makes It nevertheless, probably as a raatterof duty. He can talk on any subject, although be may not know much about it, but what little he knows he knows, and he lets you know that he knows it. He may be giving his views on the financial policy of the British Government, or he may be only telling you of what, in his opinion, is good for a boil, but he will do It with an air and a tone that leaves the matter beyond all dispute. ne Is at borne everywhere, and he never seems out of place wherever you find hirr, altho" we do not remember ever to bavefound him in church. Sitting an bis grip-sack at a way station, waiting for a train six hours behind time, and'abusing the raHroad offic ials, from brakesman to ptesidetit, with a profue and robust profanity that gives the air a sulphurious odor for miles around, he seems in perfect keeping with the surround ings. The scene would be as incomplete without him as a horse race without a yellow dog on the track. When the drummer gets Into a railroad train, if alone, he occupies two seats. One se sits on, and on the other he piles np his baggage and overcoat, and tries to looK as if they didn't belong to him. but to another man who bad just stepped into the smoking car and would be back directly. Drummers are usually found -in pairs or quartettes on the cars. They sit together in a double seat, with a valise on end between them, on which they play euchre and other sinful games. When they get tired of play ing, they go out into the smoking car, where the man who is traveling for a distillery "sets 'em up" out of his sample case, and for an hour or two they swap lies about the big bills of goods they have sold iu the last town they were In, telling highly seasoned stories about their personal adventures, and exhibit to each other the photographs of the last girls they made impressions on. While tbe drummpr is not ostentatiously bashful, neither does he assume any outward show of religion. His great love of truth is, however, one ot his strong points, aud be is never known to go beyond actual fcl ex cept in the matter of excessive bacnge. Regarding this he will sometimes stretch a ! poiut until it will cover up two hundred pounds of a three hundred pound trunk. He Is the oaly man who dares address hotel clerks by their christian names. He knows every hotel in the country, and every room in every hotel. When he arrives by a late train he is the first to get out of the 'bus and reach the clerks' desk, when he says to the clerk : "Hello, Charley, old fel, how are you? Got No. 16 lor me ?" And tbe clerk flashes his Kohinoor and a smile on him, as be shakes his band, pounds the nickle-plated call-bell, and shouts : "John, take the gentlemau's baggage to No. 16." In the dining-room the drummer Is a favor ite with the colored waiters, although be finds more fault with the fare than any other guests do. He don't believe tbe waiter when he tells him that the miik is all out, bnt sends him off. to inquire farther about the matter, and while the waiter is gone he fills up bis glass out ot tbe blue miik in the cream pitch er. He flirts with the chambermaids, teases the bootblacks, and plays practical jokes on the regular boarders. He goes to bed at a late hour, aud sleeps so soundly that the porter wakes up the people for two blocks around, and shakes the plaster off the wall, in trying to communicate to him tbe fact that tbe 'bus for the 4:20 a. m. train will start in ten minutes. The drummer bas much to weary and fret him. Traveling at night to save time, sleep ing in a baggage car. or the caboose of a freight train, with nothing but his ear for a pillow, bumping over rough roads on stages and buckboards, living on corn bread aud coffee dinners in cross roads hotels, yet un der all these vexatious circumstances be i usually good humored and in ttie best of spi rits, although he sometimes expresses bis feelings regarding the discomforts of travel, and the toughness of a beefsteak, or the so lidity of a biscuit, in language that one would never think of attributing to the author of Watts' bymna. All kinds of improbable atones are told about drummers, some of them beieg almost as improbable as the stories they themselves tell. For instance, we once heard that; a man saw a drummer ln tbe piney woods of North Carolina, camping out uuder an um brella. "What are you doiug here ?" "I am camping and living on sprace gam to save expenses," replied the drummer. "What are you doing that for ?" To bring up tbe average," It seems that the firm allowed him a certain sum per day for expenses, and by riotons living be had gone far beyond bis (daily al lowance. By eampiug out under an umbrel la and living on spruce gum for a few days, the expense would be so small as to offset the previous txceas be haa been guilty of. Tbe story is probably a fabrication. Tbe chief ead and aim of the drummer is to sell goods, tell arecdotes, and circulate the latest fashionable slang phrase. If be un derstands bis business the country merchant might as well capitulate at once. There is no hope too forlorn, or any country merchant too surly or taciturn for the drummer to tackle. Our Illustration at the head of this article shows tbe country merchant under the influence of tbe drummer. That same merchant, not long ago, loaded up a double barreled shot-gun witiu nails with the iDten. tion of vaccinating the first drummer who entered his store. Tbe eommercial emissary represented in the picture has only been talking to him for fifteen minutes. In that time be has told tbe old man foui good jokea, paid blm five compliment on bis basioeas j ability and shrewdness, propounded twm 1 conundrums, and came near telling tbe truth once. As a result, the sanguinary old man is in an excellent humor and just a'out to make out an order for fKK) worth of goods that be doesn't actually need, and then he goes out and take a drink with the drum mer. Tbe drummer '. the growth of this fast ace. Without him the car of commerce would creak slowly along. He is an energetic and genial cuss, and we hope that he will appre ciate this notice and the fact that we have suppressed an almost uncontrollable Impulse to say something about his cheek. Tna Sifting. A WOMAX'8 ROMANCE. The most extraordinary sensation bas been produced in the high circles of Rome. About three years ago the old Prince M. was married to the Juvenile daughter of the ao- bie house ot V . He was enormously wealthy ; but old, decrepit, and somewhat deformed. The young girl, In all her youth and beauty, was takeu from the convent In which she had been brought np, and under the guidance of her needy and ambitious family, and oppressive coercion exercised by bar mother, was married to tbe venerable prince with great pomp and ceremony, aed "all Rome " worth mentioning failed not to congratulate the mother aud felicitate the needy brothers tn the good luck which bad befallen them all. No sooner was the marriage concluded than the aged bridegroom carried bis youth ful bride away to bis castle in the country, leaving, however, hia mngnifiaent palazzo at home entirely at the disposal of bis mother-in-law, and the feasting and reveling going forward soon rendered the Palazzo M the most popular rendezvous In thc elty. The mother, bedecked in the family dla- i monds left by the young princess forber use I Tiding about In the prince's carriage, and en j tertaining ail her friends in bis palace was, j for three years, the happiest woman In tbe world. Meanwhile the fair young victim, j resigned to her fate, and resolved to do ber ! duty by her husband, remained aiooe with. him in the old castle, attending to bis corn I fort, and affording every solace to bis Infirm ities. At length tbe eld man died, and bis body was brought In great state to Rome. Tbe young widow was summoned to the elty, and the family convoked for tbe reading of tbe will. Tbe astonishment and delight of the ambitious mother aad the needy brothers may be coneeived when it was anuennced tbat the whole of tbe prince's fortune his money, jewels, and estates were left oB conditionally to the widow, witb the touch ing request " that she seek another matri monial alliance more satisfactory than tbe one with him had been, and recommending her not to wait until she found a man worthy of her love, for such a man she would never find In the whole world." The scene which followed bas never bad a parallel In history. The young widow rose, and in her mourning robes, with pale, calm determined countenance, " looked like an avenging angel." She stratched forth ber arm witb imposing gesture; and. In a item voice exclaimed : If all this be really mine, as yoa deelare, then the first use I make of my wealth and freedom will be to chase forever from my presence those who sold me into the slavery by which tue advantages have been pro cured. Let the palace be cleared immedi ately of every member of my family and all other strangers. The building will be shut up at once, as I am about to travel. With these words she disappeared through a side door, and the sound of carriage wheels in the courtyard announced to the assembly she had left the palaoe. In vaiu bave friends and relatives sought to interfere; in vain the highest authorities endeavored to soften ber decision. The princess remains obdurate, and refuses ail conciliation. The ambitions mother has retired to a convent for a while to repent of her sins, and the needy brothers are driven into exile to escape the ridicule of their position. nrMORors.
