KANSAS CITY, MO , Nov 4, 1872_
On Saturday morning, at six o'clock, A.
m., with Mr. Chase and wife we mounted
a Western wagon and drove across the
country six miles to Shenand Pah, to take
the cars. The sun arose majestically.. as
we entered the open prairie. It was frosty
and piercing. The prairie chickens were
flying hither and thither in large numbers
and inviting pureuit, but I had had enough
of that kind of thing. Sad experience had
told me that they are not as readily shot
as their numbers might indicate.
At Shenandoah we parted with our
friends and took the train for Hamburg;
a point on the Kansas City, St. Joseph &
Council Bluffs R. R. The country lying
immediate!) along the road is in the main
inferior prairie, with straggling clumps of
cotton wood trees. As we entered Ham
burg a train of thirty or thirty-five cats,
freighted with Texas cattle, pulled out.—
The cattle appeared to be in very good
condition. The Chicago market, I pre
sume, was the objective point. Most all
the stock of the great stock-raising districts
lying at the base of the Rocky Mountain
Range is conveyed to this market. From
Chicago it is shipped to New - York.
Philadelphia and Baltimore. Hamburg
is a straggling village of eight or ten hun
dred inhabitants, and has the general ap
pearance of all Western railroad villages.
We were hurried from the branch train to
the train on the main line of the K. C. St..
J & C. B. K. R., which had halted a few
moments for us. The employees on this
latter road were the most obliging and
yeutleueinly of any we have met thus far
on our tour. It was quite in contrast with
my experience with an official at Burling
ton. 1 stepped up to the ticket office and
said : "Sir, can you tell me where I can
find Mr. T. ?" "I don't know where he
is!" was answered gruffly. "Probably he
is in his office?" "I don't know;
seen him to-day I" "Where is his ffice ?"
"Down below !" Now, "down below" was
all Greek to me. It was after dark, and
I knew no more which was up or. down
than a strange individual waking up for
the first time in the middle of a dry plain
hundreds of miles in length and breadth.
So pointing in the direction supposed to be
intended, I asked, "down there ?" "Yes,
down below !" Ofcourse I did not find Mr.
T. I do not wish to be understood as com
plaining more of this individual than oth
ers of the same disposition. I simply re
late the circumstance to show how stran
gers, ignorant of strange localities and
circumstances, are treated by disobliging
officials.
As we rolled along down the bed of the
muddy and treacherous Missouri, the bluffs
were a mile or two to our left while the
ricer was almost an equal distance on our
right; its banks lined with rows of cotton
wood and other trees. The river bottom
soil is excellent for producing grass. corn
and the smaller grains. We began to see
old traces of the peculiar institution. The
tumble-down appearance of things, slug
gish ox terms in numbers, and not a few
of the colored gentlemen themselves. At
length both river and bluffs closed in on
us, and we had the high grounds on the
one hand and the river or one of its numerous
arms on the other.
St. Joseph is the most important town
on the route on the Missouri side. It is
one of the oldest settlements on the river.
It is substantially built upon the high
bluffs, and is the center of a large and in
creasing trade. A bridge is being erected
over the Missouri river at this place, which
will cost $1,500,000, and when completed
will give it many of the advantages now
possessed by Kansas City and Leavenworth.
At this point we took Secretary Delano
and his wife, Gov. Kirk, Hon. R. T. Van
Horn, editor of the Kansas City Journal.
and other distinguished personages on
board. The Secretary had addressed a
large and entlicsiastie meeting 4' the Re
pub:icans at St. Joseph the evening pre
viously. I supp)se the object is to se
cure the election of the Republican candi
date for Congress, as there is no chance
for the State. The enfranchised rebels aad
their allies are too strong for the Republi
cans. The Secretary is a very pleasant
and agreeable middle aged gentleman, who
endeavors to make all those around him
feel perfectly at home.
A few minutes after four o'clock we
reached Harlem on the North side of the
river from Kansas City. The Secretary
remarked to Mr. Van Horn, at the men
tion of Harlem, that they wero copying
after New York and queried : 'Where is
Hell Gate ?" to which the Governor re
plied: "It is Kansas City itself !" Van
Horn laughed rather doubtfully at the
witticism. We crossed the great iron
bridge, the first to span the Missouri. and
in a few minutes later we were in the midst
of the noise and confusion of the Union
Depot. We took one of the splendid out
nibusses of Short & Co., and in the course
of half an hour were landed safely at the
residence of oar esteemed friend J. C.
Kiser, Esq., Nd. 717, East Twelfth street,
formerly of Bedford, Penna.
Mr. Kiser left Bedford with his family
less than five years ago and located in this
place, in what was then the country, there
not being more than half a score of hou
ses on Twelfth street east of Main, and
now the city has enveloped him on all
sides and extended far beyond him. He
and his family have been very fortunate,
and are prospering. On Sunday morning
we attended service at the Grand Avenue
Methodist Episcopal Church and heard a
very peculiar discourse. In the afternoon
we called on our old and fast friends from
boyhood, Mr. and Mrs. George R. Holsinger,
formerly of Woodbury, Bedford county,
Penna. We found them very handsomely
located on Hack berry street, enjoying them
selves as in days of yore. Time has left
its traces upon them, yet they appear as
buoyant in spirits and almost as vigorous
as when we met them daily years ago.
The greater part of to-day has been
spent in running over the city and seeing
the various objects of interest. Kansas
City is built upon the high bluffs of the
Missouri river near the junction or that
river with the Kansas, and whet:e the fir
mer makes its great bend front a Southern
direction to that of an 'Eastern, across the
State of Missouri, to its junction with the
Mississippi. It is not in Kansas as its
name would indicate, although a new por
tion of the city is. It is growing very
rapidly. Eight or ten railroads already
centre here, and others arc projected. The
citizens firmly believe it will become one
of the greatest cities west of the Mississippi.
Manunetories are now talked of generally,
and I have no doubt that the advice of
lion. Win. D. Kelly, of our State, will be
universally accepted, and in a few years
Kansas City will have all the fictories she
nose so much stands in need of. The prin
cipal streets are built up with commodious
and costly buildings, and the merchants
and other businoss men appear to be over
run with business. The irregular surface
upon which the city is built has made the
gr•iding of streets very expensive, but the
work goes bravely on, and in a few years
all will be made even.
Tonight at 10 o'clock I take the Kan
sas Pacific R. R. DT Denver, leaving my
companion here with her numerous friends.
While you are quietly casting your ballots
to-morrow to ratify the verdicts of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indium. rendered on
the Bth of October, I will be rolling over
the vast plains, frequented by buffalo and
antelope, between this and the mountains.
Wednesday morning's sun will see Gen.
Grant elected by the largest p , pular vote
that has ever been given to any Presi
dent. J. R. D.
DENVER, COLO. TER., Nov. 6, 1872.
As suggested in my letter of the 4th
inst., I left. Kansas City, at 11 o'clock, P.
Si., on a Pullman sleeping car for this
place. When morning dawned I found
that we were in the neighborhood of Man
hatten about 114 miles from the place of
starting. The country had a desolate look.
the timber became less vigorous and less
abundant hourly. We whirled past Fort
Riley which is occupied by tree-s. What
a monotonous life they must lead ! Snon
we reached Junction City where the Mis
souri. Kansas and Texas Railroad lead
ing from Ft. Scott. forms a junction. A
little over an hour later we re lobed Abilene,
which, a year or so ago, was the point
Where the Texas cattle trail struck the
Kansas Pacific. it is now, in a certain
sense, a "deserted village." The trail, for
the last year, has struck Ellsworth, a con
siderable town 56 miles further west, where
I was told, by a 41' exas cattle drover, that
at least $3,000.000 worth of cattle chang
ed hands within the last season. All this
amount of money was handled at this point.
Just think of a village of 1,000 or 1.200
inhabitants doing $3.000,000 worth of
just one branch of business, at that too
several hundred miles out on the plains !
But these western town are f st. They
"go it while they are young." The con
gregation of so many border men, dealing
in cattle, throws together, very often, the
worst elements -known to society. This
was the case at Abilene. Pandemonium
let loose, I am told, could not have been
much worse. Whi key drinking, gam
bling, dance houses, fighting and shooting
were ge eral. The authorities, not know
ing what to do, at last h't upon the expe
dient of making “Wild Bill." who has fig
ured so conspicuously in Harper's Month
ly and other publications, Chief' Marshal
of the place. All desperadoes know Bill
His pistol never misses fire nor do his
balls fail to hit the mark. Bill found he
had his hands full. however. One ruffian.
named "Texas Joe,' had been a constant
annoyance to the authorities. Bill issued
an order that Joe should be disarmed, but
Joe paid no attention to the order. With
all Texas at his back what did Joe care
for Bill. One evening Bill recognized
Joe deliberately taking aim, and firing
upon a dog in the street. Bill reminded
him of his order and told him he must dis
arm at once, whereupon Joe banged away
at Bill. Bill drew his pistol and there
were two reports, and there were just two
holes in Joe in the region where the heart
is generally found in good men. Joe was
carried home and preparations made for a
funeral. Texas was aroused, but Bill was
not to be trifled with so they raised a fund
of $2,000 and employed six ruffians to
shoot Bill. He concluded to leave fur a
short time until the matter would Isloi
over. As he entered the cars six ruffians
followed him and surrounded him. Bill
out-flanked them and got into their rear
and when he got off the train at Topeka,
and they attempted to follow him, they
fotind him ou the platform, pistol in hand,
admonishing them that they were not
wanted at that stopping place, and they
found it convenient to go further down
the road before stopping off. Bill is now
Marshal of Hays. I had the pleasure of
seeing this famous individual twice. He
is a small wiry man, with long straight
black hair, hanging down on his shoulders,
black mustaohe, and a peril) .t dandy in
every other respect. Ile is the right man
in the right place.
This portion of Kansas is watered by the
Republican river, and is principally adap
ted to grazing and stock raising. Ranches
are abundant and thousands of cattle and
I sheep are herded from year to year. The
country around Salina appears to be very
flue and for several stations west.
Every step of the road west now re
winds me of the wanton destreetion of the
buffalo. Their bones whiten almost every
rod of ground. At Bunkerhill, quite
a trafic is carried on in their bones. 1 1l urge
quantities of them are shipped to the bone
wills for which they realize about $6 per
ton. By the way Bunkerhill is the dryest
town that I have yet seea. Thero is no
water within seven miles of it. The
railroad clans every alternate section of
land and it has induced emigrants to lo
cate hero on condition that it will supply
the town with water for a certain number
of years. When asked what they will do
at the expiration of the time agreed
upon between them and the company,
they say they will sink an artesian well
and supply the whole country. Such is
western enterprise.
I gazed upon both sides of the railroad
for hours in hopes or seeing a real live
buffalo. Prait ie dogs and antelopes were
very numerous but no buffalo. It was
amusing to see the frightened antelopes
running parallel with the train, at the
distance ora fourth of a mile, endeavoring
to get away from it, but blood and muscle
would eventually fall behind iron and
steam. At last the sun was setting low
down on the western horison and I had
given up all hopes of seeing living buffalo
when a cry of "buffalo ! buffalo !" came from
the south side of the car, and there loping
away from the train were four full
grown buffalo and a calf. I was grat
ified. At Buffalo, and several other sta
tions, I saw hides piled up in great num
bers. Parties are employed, the whole
year round, to kill buffalo for the hides
merely. Congress should pass a heavy
penalty for this kind of wanton destruc
tion. I saw the skinned carcasses of
six full grown buffaloes lying within a
radius of one hundred yards, and their
skeletons can be c punted by hundreds
from any elevati.:n within the range. Some
of the hunters occupy very queer quarters.
They live in caves and sod h muses. The
caves arc covered with sod anti generally
have a keg or barrel fur a chimney. I
saw several trains of emigrants encamped
along the railroad, while others had squat
ted and were living in their wagons. Life
upon the border is not the most pleasant
and comfortable judging from appearances.
At an early hour I retired for the night.
All day Long we were striking due wet
from Kansas City. The railroad is in an
excellent condition, and the Pullman cars
run as smooth as they do on our Eastern
roads. The ride, however, is a very mo
notonous one. Nothing for hundreds of
miles but. one vast black plain, made so
by the prairie fires caused by sparks from
the engines. No one can judge the coon
try by simply reading a description of it.
"Go West !" and lot me add, try the Smo
ky Hill route.
At an early hour this morning the por
ter of our car awakened us with the assu
rance that we were approaching Denver.
I found that we had arrived upon the
heels of a snow storm, and that the vast
plain and the mountains—the Rocky Moun
tains—which began to loom up in the dis
tance, were.covered with snow. The por_
ter said th it it was fearei, during the night ,
that the drifts might interfere with our
progress. The cluntry looked very dreary.
It was very apparent that Denver was not
in the midst of an agricultUral region. An
hour later and I arrive here and put up
at the American House.
Denver is a very busy, bustling place.
Many of the business houses are very fine
with plate glass fronts that must have cost
thousands of dollars. The streets are wide
and a number of them well built up.—
There are, however, entirely too many
dram sh Ts. There must be a vast quan
tity of liquor drank here t•) afford all en=
gaged in the business a living. The pop
ulation does not exceed 12,000. It
is principally a supply dep ft fir the
mining regions. The mountains look as
if they were only three or four miles away,
but I am told that they are about seven
teen miles off. I learn from the Rocky
Mountain News of this morning that Grant
has carried three-fourths of the States.—
This is glorious! I must quit. I take
the next train fur Pueblo, where I expect
t-) meet W. W, Eorst, Esq., Superintend
ent of the Narrow Guage Road. My next
will reach you from that point. J. R. D.

to the present except the passage of a res

Letter from Ireland ,
STEAMER WYOMING,
OFF QUEENSTOWN, IRELAND,
Now. 2, 1872:
DEAR EDITOR :—As economy of time,
paper and postage is of considerable im
p mance to me, I will, with your permis
sion, communicate with my numerous
friends in Huntingdon county through the
columns of the JOURNAL, and if any of
them do not take it now, they may, and
doubtless will, hear from me more fre
quently by subscribing for your valuable
paper at once.
On Wednesday. Oct. 23d, the last fare
wells to home and loved ones were hastily
spa:en, and at noon the fine, large steam
ship Wyoming glided out of the port of
New York and started for Liverpool, Eng
land.
We soon began to make the acquain
tance of our fellow passengers, and were
pleased to find that we had a slued but
very pleasant and sociab'e company.—
Among others are - Rev. E. Y. Buchanan ;
an Episcopal minister from Philadelphia,
—the only surviving brother of Ex-Presi
dent Buchanan—with his wife and two
daughters. Rev. Horace James, one of the
editors of The Omagregationdist, of Boston,
on his way, with a young gentlgman of his
congregation,
to vi it Europe and the
Holy Land, Ralph Waldo Emerson and
daughter on their way to Italy and uthe •
countries of Europe, Revs. Badly and
Chevington with their wives, the Misses
Blackmer and PultF„ and the subscriber
with his wife and chili}, eight in all bound
fa. the U. E. Mission in India
. Rey. D r .
and Mrs, Warren, of the Presbyterian
Church. bound fur their wission field in
in which the Doctor has spent six.
teen years. Then we must not forget a
Quaker gentleman and his wife, on a mis
sion to Ireland. A Mormon lady going to
ueruiany, a Lieutenant in the a ustriuu
army, and many others, going to Europe
for business and pleasure. We bad three
days of pleasant weather, con equently
less sea sicknesi than usgal. On Sabbath
we had two religious services. Rev. Bit
chanan preaching in the morning and Dr.
Warren in the evening.
Sunday night the waves began to roll
fearfully and the sea has been rough most
of the time since. All, or nearly all of us.
have been very sick and miserable indeed.
It is with great difficulty that I pan it up
to pen these lines, but I hope to get all
right again soon fter reaching land.
Our poet, Mr. Buiersou, has, ut the
request of the passengers, entertained no
two evenings by giving select readings
from his own and other poems. The old
gentleman looks feeble anti is qnite bald.
Our officers are exceedingly pleasant men
and every attention is paid to the passen
gers. Our steamer can carry 2415 tons
and 1211 passengers, so you may know
she is not mall. J. D. BROWN.

Terrible Fire in Boston
The following is a minute description
of the terrible conflagration which visited
the city of Boston on the 9th and 10th
instant :
About 70 acres of the best stores in Bos
ton are in ashes, including almost all the
wholesale shoe and leather, and dry goods
and wool establishuients in the city. The
burned district is 13.,unded by Summer,
Federal, broad, Central, Water, Washing- .
ton and Bedford streets.
There was. hardly a breath of air stir
ring when the alarm was sounded—about
7.4- o'clock, fiillewed by a second, third and
fourth in rapid sucetssiou ; but the first
engine was hardly on the ground when the
fire broke out from the fourth story of a
large four story granite store on the cornet
of Summer and Kingst , n streets, occupied
by Tebbets. Baldwin & Davis, wholesale
dry goods dealers. It had caught in the
engine room, and the flames spread with
lightning rapidity up the large elevator.
and were first seen climbing underneath
the ws.idwork of the mansard roof.
. . .
T
he buildings in the vicinity were all
of granite, four stories high and each sur
mounted with a mansard roof, none or
them being over five years old. The de
tached splinters flew readily as the air was
warmed by the terrible heat, anti soon
flames began licking the mansard roof on
the opposite side far above the reach of
streams directed upon it from all quarters.
Fire was constantly in the air and one
building after another caught on the root
and flames skipped lightly along from one
window sill to another, sit that in less than
thirty minutes every check was blanched
as it became evident that the whole city
in one direction was at the mercy of the
flames.
The firemen erected barricades and
worked behind thew, but they were burn.
ed almost as soon as erected. An hour
had hardly elapsed before it was evident
that Beebe's Block, the finest business
structure in the city, built of granite, five
stories in height, with Mansard mof over
all, must go. Within thirty minutes the
flames were coming out front every window,
and up the stairway .eading to A. T. Stew
art's rooms was a perfect column of flames.
This building served but as fuel fi r the
flames. Pieces of dry goods went whistling
across the square, lodging on the window
sills of the magnificent storett on Devon
shire street. Beebe's block stood, a solid
wall of granite. several minutes after the
inside fell, but the heat warped it and two
million dollars soot. lay a heap of stones,
bricks and mortar. A hurricane now ra
ged, and owing to the intense heat and
perfect sleet of coals, it drove everything
before it. Every building was now he a ted
as if in a furnace and caught like tinder.
Four story granite blocks seemed like sha
vings, and deafening explosions were con
stantly heard.
The fire was now on Federal street, and
the wood houses were goiog like oil factor
ies. The paper houses came nest. The
fire extended on both sides of Lincoln street.
On Russia warf all the buildings, mostly
used by rag, paper and junk merchants,
were destroyed. At Robbin's warf; a at-hom
er was destroyed, as were the coal sheds,
and a large quantity of lumber on the pier.
Ihe warf of the Hartford and Erie Rail,
road Company was burned, aqd tbeir pass
enger slation on Broad street, at the foot
of Summer, was destroyed. •
The area"of the burnt district will be
.und when carefully estimated, says the
Daily advertiser, "slightly to exceed sixty
time acres, or 2,787,810 square feet.
Peducting the space covered by streets.
the area occupied by buildings is a little
less than, 2;000,000 square feet. Tlie
structures did put rover the remaining
space, but assuming that they did, and they
were worth $lO per square fliot, the entire
b.s,s in buildings will amount to $20,000,-
000, an estimate to the correctness of
which we have the testimony of many
sagacious holders of real estate. The total
number of buildings consented. may rough
ly be stated at about 950. The hiss in
merchandise is set by the most competent
experts at not over three times the amount
of the loss of buildings, it being bopap in
wind that in a number ofstreets the struc
tures were used principally for offices,
containing nothitg very valuable; that in
many warehouses the stocks of merchatalise
were low, some of the dry goods commis
sion houses, for example, having hardly ,
any goods in Vora.
Our estimate, thereof, sets the entire
loss at $80,.100.000, prodigious destructien
in itself, but by no 'Swans one to inflict a
erti shi og blow upon the prosperity of Bce
ton, All the old boot and shoe cOmmision
firms are solvent. and even strong as betore
the ire, and by t'teir solvency will pre
serve t, Boston, uniniparetl, their very
valuable line of business. Very many of
the jobbing firms also in the same line,
came out of the ire with large losses, it
is true, but able to meet all their engage
ments, and to continue their business.
The same may be said in general terms ct
the large manufacturers and dealers in
clothing. Their stocks in hand are con
sumed, rut their surplus . of assets in bills
and ace ; ants receivable, to,....rether with
what insurance they may be able to recov
er will save them. That there will be failures
in seve7al of the leading business houses
is probable, but in the case of mauy firms,
we believe, it will be round that after a
suspension of payments until they can
ascertain how much of their instuance can
be realized, the y will resume payments and
go on as berore.

About thirty lives were lost during the
fire. At one spot three men were buried
by the falling of a wall.
An experienced financial and commer
cial writer in the Roston Advertiser says;
he fire in the business district is one
of the m st severe and disastrous that ever
occurred in this country, and, while but
few dwelling houses were burned, and
but a comp iratively small number of null
ities left hotnekss, the fittest warehouses
and stores of the city, and the entire space
occupied by the - wholesale dry goods deal
ers, wool merchants, boot and shoe, and
hide and leather dealers, and clothing
houses were entirely destroyed.
"Not a wool house is standing in the
ci•y. The whole ofPearland High streets,
which were devoted exclusively to the boot
and shoe and hide leather trade, are a heap
of ruins. Every whdesale clothing house,
with a single exception, is burned, and
but three or four dry-goods commission
houses are left standing. The loss in
buildings is immense, and, together with
the la-ge stocks of imported and domestic
fabrics that were burned, cannot be esti
mated at. less than $80,000,000.

All the domestic wool in the city has
been burned, and the total number of
pounds of foreign and domestic fleece and
pulled wool destroyed by the fire cannot
fall short of 8.000,000 pounds, while the
entire stock remaining in this market con
sists of foreign wool, and is less than 8,000
bales. The destruction of bo its, shoes
and leather has been quite as complete as
that of wool, although the stock of boots
and shoes in the warehouses is much light
er at this season than it would have been
about a mouth rater, and the loss will
consequently be less to the owners. Be
hid( s this, large quantities of boots, shoes
and leather were saved, which will mate
rially lighten the loss of the of the suffer
ers. The wholesale clothing houses, with
one or two exeept:ons, were completely
burned, although a considerable quantity
of goods were saved, and the stocks on
hand were not very large.
With a few exceptions, all the conunia
sion dry good houses are burned to the
ground, nut even the walls of the buildings
being lett standing. The destruction of
the jobbing house has bees nearly complete
and the agent of the largest mills in the
country says that but one of all his caste..
mere in the city has a place left for his
bu loess. The fire did not reach that
section of the e:ty occupied by the pro
vision, produce, and flour and grain trade,
nor were there any losses to the fish or
salt dealers, and but slight damage to the
wholesale grocers. .None of the hotels
have been destroyed, and the railroads.
with the exception of rise Dartnird and
Erie, have not suffered, as the fire did nut
extend in that direction, _ _
Preparations have already begun for
the resumption of business, and the re
creation of stores and warehouses. The Shoe
and Leather Association has appointed a
committee to ask from the Ci y Govern
ment the unoccupied ground "at Fort Hill
as a site fur new stores. The Boston in
surance companies will pay front 20 to 100
per cent. of their losses. There is no
feeling of despondency in business circles,
and no crisis is feared. It is stated that
nearly 10,000 poor sewing girls ase thrown
out of employment.
The closh g prayer of Br Talmage, on
Sunday utorninz last, was as follows : Lord
Almighty, put out the fire and control its
raging. Silence the agony of prostrate,
dying, burning Boston. Hear Thou, the
cry of the distressed and homeless. 0
Lord, let our prayer be heard for those
now amid tie cracklings of the flames.
Lord, help them. Save their churches,
save their store houses, save their homes.
save their lives; and may there go forth
front all this land a deep, heartfelt sympa
thy such as not long ago we &trier another
city: and as .hat tribulation and trial was
blest to all this land, we pay Thee that
this tribulation and trial of a• sister city
may be blest to us. and may we feel with
what a very slender grasp we hold all oar
earthly treasures, and that nothing on
earth is certain , and if a man gets a whole
world and invests it in store houses he is
not sure of the investment. This shall ba
our closing prayer--'•Lord help that city.
Amen."
A ROMANTIC STORY,
A Washington City Drug Clerk Weds
a Widow and a Fortune.
A Washington correspondent of the
Boston Traveler, writing under date of
October 10th, says:
Another of those interesting little ro,
manees in real life has just come to light
in Washington. The ton ton is in ecsta
cies over it. A dapper-looking apotheca
ry's clerk has succeeded in marrying a for
tune of 83,000 000, and now he has gone
West to spend it The facts in the case
as related to me this morning are as fol
lows :
Six months ago a charming young lady,
dressed elegantly and in the height of
fashion, and representing herself to be the
relict of a lute prominent oil speculator,
appeared in Warbington upd took up her
residence at the Arlington lintel. While
at the Arlington she one day took occasion
to procure an assortment of perfumery, and
in quest of that desirable aeqMsition of
the toilet, called at a drug store situated
OrpOeite the Treasury Department. 14,
hind the showy counter Waited an attrac-
tive clerk, a young gentleman of twenty
nine, who was no sooner seen than he lud
conquered. The next day the relict of
the late New York oil speculator invited
the elpautit drug clerk to a tate-a-tete at
the Arlington,
TheretLre occurs a blank, until the time
of the Baltimore Convention when Mr.
Drug Clerk received a mysterious note
from New York. Ho went to Baltimore,
there met the lady, was married, remained
throughout the convention and quietly re
turned to Washin:ann, to resign his clerk
ship and exist without visible means of
•
rapport. The lady soon followed him here,
and again went to the Arlington, where
she resided some time, occasionally receiv
ing the fortunate hikband and loading him
with presentsof diamond rings, gold watch
es, &e., winding up by transferring to him
a whole business lot in San Francisco, with
the business thereon, a very valuable piece
of prf-perty, of which she herself holds a
companion in New York. Next they start
ed fir Philadelphia, where the lady took
a sudden notion to go West, the only no
tification the ex drug clerks friends re
ceiving of his intention being a telegram
couched in these words :
"Shan't return. Can't avoid it. Atu
going to San Francisco."
Yesterday, a letter was received from
the Pacific Slope. containing the informa
tion that the young man had started a
magnificent wholesale drug stare at the
Golden Gate. The immense wealth which
has Mien to his lot, together with the ex
traordinary manner of match making, and
the beauty and high standing of the wife
are the nine days' wander. Our late drug
clerk is of course a very stylish young
wan. He was ti - irnaerly a captain in the
rebel army, where it is rephrted he served
with distinction, is well connected here.
and has a good reputation in society.
