The Huron Expositor, 1871-06-30, Page 6THE URON EXPOSITOR - JUNE 30, 871. A Romance of California. A tale comes to a from an Francisco so oddly dramatic as te worth recording. It appears that a charming young lady—of oourse the story would lack interest were she commonplace—fell in love with a person, •called by his own class and those with whom they consort, a °sport." in other words, he was a dealer at faro bank, an&as such ex- cluded from the society whelein his fair enslaver habitually moVed; But they met by chance lit a . hall; and just as Claude Nelnotte admired from his flowers and cabt bg,aes, the bagghty Pauline, With was destined to become his bride, so,. from amid his marked cards, chips and- cepperes did the voune• gamester lift his eyes to this lovely girl of San Franciaceeand forgot the gulf between them. So itt the sequel did.she. Somehow they were intro- duced at the ball, zuld afterward! they met—this time not by chance --a at a photograph gallery. They were subsequently described by the sym- pathetic.artist as they appealed on the occasion. She wore blue and had "a \Yeah!'" of golden hair: _ The captia-e "spat' was faidtlessly dressed" in 'fell black, garnished with diamonds, and had "a love of a moustache." The fit st clandestine meeting was followed, AS is apt to Le the case, by others, and, to tell the tale briefly, wound up with a secret marriage. 1 - All went oa smoothly for tatime, great as was the risk, and the.lioney- moon, masked in secrecy, as it as, Seemed to premise well. Bet pres- ontly a tinycloud darkened the skies of happiness. It came, to quote the words of a San Francisco jour- nal; "in the shape of 4 live healthy man of business, occupying businesS relations_ with the young lady's PapA." This healthful and eligiole„ trei4eman soon became a suiton for the young lady's band. The father, -who is represented to be a " mer- chant prince" of conventional pre- , judices, favored the suit. It was avoided quite naturally by the daughter, and 'finally entreaties, ex- postulation, and menance brought on an explosion. All was confessed, and the horror-strieken parent was, dumb with rage and mortification. But this young, Yet astute child of the Setting sun was equal to the occasion. "What's the use," she -pertinently asked, "of making a fuss about it I The thing's done: The only question how can it be undone so that I can do as you wish?' . The father listened in silence, and the daughter went on : " I believe my husband is already tired of me, and I know I am Of him. No one knows of this: Go and buy him of. Make him con- sent to a, divorce. .Give him what money he wants, and then I can marry the rich and prosperous New Yorker." This guileless scheme ap- pealed strongly to the business: instincts of our " merchant prince," raid he Straightway set to work to realize it. Several inter- views followed with the " sport" who proved as fickle as the blind goddess' be followed, and finally $20,000 was -agreed upon as the sum to be paid him for consenting to the divorce. This was promptly carried through. Thu rich New Yorker, none the Wiser, soon came - for his bride to, the golden gate, and their engagement was formally announced. And now follows the pith of this roinantic story. The marriage was to take place in a, week, and the intended bride was all blushes and complaisance. Father and bridegroom -vied with each other in lavishing costly gifts upon her, and the unsophisticated creature had a sumptuous trousseau made ready to bring eastward to New York. But the night before , the wedding a thrill of dismay ran through the househola. It 'W as the story of young Loeb nivar over _again. The bride had fled, and worse than wiah the insidious "sport." The $20,000 and the treusseau, to- gether with the wedding gifts, we need hardly say, bore the faithful P'r coMpany. A letter was soon found addressed to the father. It stated, simply, that the young lady had changed her mind, and that when the epistle was read she would be far on. her way to New York, escorted by her former • husband, whom she had married agsin. Whether the whole plan was arrang- ed beforehand by way of getting a start Wife that faro had failed to' supply, must be left to conjecture. It is eaid; however, that the father has not been obdurate, and that on the accepted condition that the green cloth should be abandoned for- ever, he has forgiven the twice wedded pair, and made hie*, Son-in- law his business agent in the At- lantic States. Such is life.—Ar. nines. French Method of Raising Potatoes. As soon as a cluster of flowers is visible, the stem is topped down to the cluster, so that the flowers ter- minate the stew.
