Cnrl Rosa nnd Pernpa, antipodal as
they wero Id complexion, staturo and
avoirdupois, wero supremely harmoni
ous, excellently ftdapted to associated
enterprise. Ho had never undertaken
management until after his marriage,
ond In) Is indebted to licr, It is falil, for
tlio Inspiration, Hp Is so modest and
retiring a llttlo fellow thatniritiy orsons
have wondered how ho could summon
courago to propose! to n woman so
much larger than himself.
The matter of his proposal isthusre
lated. Tho musical twain weio en
routo to Hartford by rail seated sldo by
side; Rosft seeming to bo unusually de
prived. Parepa, a close observer, and
Always sympathetic, noticing his mel
ancholy, Inquired the cause. Ho an
swered: "I havo been unlucky In this coun
try. For sotno reason or other I havo
not been able to keep my .friend In
America. With tho best of feeling and
Intentions, I appear to lose as rapidly
as 1 mako them. I think I havo not to
day n slnglo friend."
"Oh, I am sure you have," respond
cd she brightly.
"Alasl" ho exclaimed, sighing, "I
fear I have notl"
"Indeed, you are mistaken, my good
Carl. II you have not so regarded me
heretofore, I promise you now that I
will always be your friend."
Rosa's boyish face kindled with do
light, ho took her gloved hand; and
with chivalrous instinct lifted It to hi
lips.
"And," she added, with a charming
Ingenuousness, "I will be your wife al
so, If you like."
A fortnight later tl'cy wero married.
Sho had long been very fond of him,
and he of her, and sho knew It. But he
was so sensitive and self-depreciating
that sho felt that he would not reveal
his affection unless ho wero liberally
encouraged.
Few men or women have been better
partners, sentimentally or financially,
than Parepa and Rosa. They gave
English and Italian opera at tho Acad
emy in better styles than it had ever
been given, and notwithstanding the
great expense to which they had gone,
they realized handsomely from tho en
deavor. Rosa ond his wife cleared
here over t250,000. Chicago Times.

Tho annual minutes of thn Grand

bership In tho State atthat time amount
ed to 03,197. being au Increase of 10,

working order numbered 800, showing
an Increase of '10. The Rebecca degree
Lodges uumbered 80. Tho relief report

bers wero relieved, at an expense of
$205,770.83, thero was also paid 810,
720.18fortho relief of widowed families,

A ftrango though not a novel phase
of the Indian question, Is that two pro
phets have arisen, each of them In re
gions far remote from the other, preach
ing that tho Indians should have no
further intercourse with whites and
missionaries, and that though few In
number, they shall again possess the
land, Smohalla, the Oregon prophet,
urges tho Indians to live upon no reser
vation, to accept no bounty, to enter
no church or school or houso of prayer,
and to bo In no way lured from the
habits of their forefathers. Already
ho has a compact and powerful band
who bcllcvo in his doctrines and try to
llvo up to them, though no attempt hat
been made to carry out the cxtermlna
tlon of the whites, which ho also preach
es. A similar pro het has arisen among
the Comanches at Arizona, who tells
his people that ho has had an Interview
with tho Great Spirit, who said that
tho Indians who wero adopting the
mode of life of tho whites weto
going down hill fast, as regarded popu
lation, and that the Comanches would
do tho same, should they too become
cllvllted.
John lint per, familiarly known as
"Undo John Harper," the well-known
Kentucky stock raUerand distinguished
turfman, was of a plain, frugal family
of Pennsylvania Dutch oiigiu, though
long settled in Kentucky. He was one
of Qve children, only one of whom, a
brother, ever married. Another bro

guerrillas, who visited his house- for
booty. Ills brother Jacob and sister
