I the whole contrasted with and glorified

And vet it is ccrttt'iilv true that the

IJul all tho reply tho silly thing
gau was,
Oh, Captain Uurbank, they nio gain-

pale, and began to tremble liku a pop
tilar leaf.
Putting two and two together I had
inmlu out thu whnlu story to my own
Kitihfactiou. Thu bridegroom was a
1111111 Irnin Ciiliforni.i who had been ill

viiblu bin-iness thai I had discovered,
only, usit seemed now, to niaku lovodcterinincil to iluviso souiu loverago to

Mr. Galloway was her guardian, that , liku defeating tho success of another, nn-
I nlwnvs knew: nud I nlso knew
. .
1 posed it, especially her husband, that
was enough to make Mrs. Galloway
ready to move heaven and earth to
' bring a marriage to pass. So hero wo
, were MIsh Jacobs, tho biitlegrooin,
I M,s. Galloway, and tho 7rC7-two-
uaiiiMVHy nun ins j.iwiih.ih.u m uuv
J pursuit on tho Marin behind 11s.
i The Maria wns really gaining
rap-
'idly, that was ! fact: but I wasn't
afraid of her. I knew what I wns
auoui, ana was iniuncu 10 ihm n ihuu
fun out of tho trip for myself (I always
did liko to plaguo wyoister'tt kitH-n
NO. 1
when I was n boy). So I let the Maria
como within n mile, of ii!, in Aill view
and still gaining; then "ho sounded
threo signal-whistles in token she wish
to speak with us. The bride looked
i weak as a potato-blosoin, nnd 1 confess
I began to feel some as though I was a
cnl ..Invlinr with a mouse. Hut I said
nothing, and made no answer to the
signal-whistles, which where repeated,
only to move oil leisurely and open
out the engine, which, to tell the truth,
:i hiiii linn uccu pu( 111 mem, 1110 nuill
had a mind to get up a little dauco
among themselves upon it.
I wis.h you could havo seen the
change in the face aud whole figure of
tho bride as thu boat sprang forward
with such eager life and power. Sho
looked as though Atlas had suddenly
coma back nud taken the whole round
woild off her shouldcis, which ho had
left upon them white hu went himself
alter some golden apple or another.
And I am thinking Captain Rook-
staver, over on the Maria, got some
new aud sudden ideas into Ids brain
about the strength and swiftness of
tho Fo'tjly.
So, of course, although I slowed
down the engine oucu or twicu after
thnt till thu Maria u'as closo upon us,
Jut lor tho sport ol racing away from
her again, we touched the Vancouver
wharf before her; and the magistrate,
who hail been telegraphed tor and
was standing on thu pier in waiting,
came oil board in tho shutting of a
Ian.
Tho ceremony was not very long
nor very impressive, I promisu you
hut it was stronger than a galu of
brass 111 a legal point of view; Mrs.
Galloway had seen to thnt.
"If you mutually promise to love
one another, join your liaudii. I pio
nouncu you man aud wifu by the an
thority ealed in me as inagihtratu of
this Territory." said he. And theie
they were, married as tight as legal
power could do it.
Whli-h! Whi.hl Whlsh! screamed
the Maria, scarcely nioro than a boat's
length behind us, Ifut sho might ns
well have been leagues away.
It was all over, and theiu was until,
ing for Mr. Galloway but to make the
best of it. -So hu came on board, and lor
aught I know gavu his consent nud his
blessing. At any rate, they went back
to Portland together, aud that evening
tho ceremony was icpcatcd at church
witli all due pomp and bridal array.

the annual receipts are not likely nere

there would bo no vty in which tho

as has been proposed, except by put

seems an easy one, but our own experi

neither Judicious nor profitable. As

by tho distrust thus created, its deprc

that an additional issue of live hundred
millions of United Slntes notes would
reduce tho seven hundred millions of
paper money now in circulation, to tmo
hall their present value; so that a le
