A California Romance. From the New York Times. A tale comes to us from .an Francisco so oddly dramatic as to be worth record ing. It appears that a charmin;; yonn lady of course the story would lack interest where she coninson-plaee fell in love with a person called, by his own class and with those with whom thy escort, a usport." In other words he was a dealer at a furo ank, and a .such excluded from the society wherein his fair enslaver habitually moved. IJut they met by chance, at a public ball ; and, just as Claude Melnotte admired, from amonjj his flowers and cabbays the haughty Pauline, who was de.-tincd to become his bride, so, from 2d mid his tznarkod cards, chips and coppers, lid the young gamester lift his eyes to this lovely girl of San Francisco, and forget the gulf between them So in the M-ijuel did she. Somehow they were intro duced at the ball, and afterwards tl cy ,met this time not hy chance at a photograph gallerv. They were 8u1m xjuently described by the sympathetic ar tist as they apeared on this occasion. She wore blue, and had " a wealth" of golden hair. The captive sport" was faultlessly dressed" in full black, garnished with diamonds. and had 'a Iov of a moustache." The first clandestine meeting was followed, as is apt to be the case, by others, and, to tell th- tale briefly, wound up in a cecret marriage. All went oij Muoothly for a time, great, as was the risk, and the honeymoon, masked in secret as it was, seemed to promise well. Hut presently a tiny cloud darkened the skies of happiness It came, to quote the words of a San Francisco journal.

This healthful and eligible gen tleiimi soon became a suitor IVrr the young lady's hand. The father who h represented to be a " merchant prince" of conventional prejudices, favored the suit It was avoided, quite naturally, by the daughter, and .finally entreaties, expostulation and menace brought on an explosion. All was contested, and the horror-stricken parent was dumb with rage and mortification. But this oung astute child of the netting sun was equal to the occasion. "What's the use," she pertinently asked, 4 mak ing a fuss Bbout it. The thing's done "The only question is, how can it be un done so that I can do as I wish ?" The father listened in silence, and the daughter went on : "I believe my husband is tired of me, and I know I am of hitn No one knows of this Go and buy him off. Make him con sent to a divorce. Give him what momey he wants, aod then I .can marry the rich and prosperous New Yorker." The guileless schemerappealed strong ly to the business instincts of ourmer hant prince," and he straightway set to work to realize it. Several interviews followed with the "sport'who proved as fickle as the blind pjoddess he followed, and finally $20,000was agreed upon as the sum to be paid him for consenting to a divorce. This was promptly carried through. The rich New Yorker, noue sumemm. the wiser, soon came for his biide to the golden state, and their engagement was tonurlly iwinouiiced And n w fol lows the pith of the romantic stoty The marriage was to take place in a we k, and the intended brid : was all blushes and complaisance.

Sut h is life. Till: M AMMOTH ATTI.i: MAKKI'.r A eorresfiomleut of the Saint I,oui. lirpiiblicait writes about Ahilene, the great cattle tir.rket of the West: I'oiir years ago the idea was cone ived ami carried info ex cirtion of supplying the est and North with Texas beef. The tir-t drove. of cattU reached Abilene in 1S57. and the result of the ex; erimeut proving n uiumrauve so tar beyond th expectations of the projetor others naturally became engagetl in the business. The Kate-as Pacific Railway fostered and eneouragisl this new arm of industry, until it has rown to its prest-nt immense projections. From the official records of the general freight office, we ascertain that this road transported last year l.'U.-lO head of Texas (Tattle; and fn;m present in dications these figures will be more than doubled this yeir. The receipts at Abilene, Hrooklyn and Salina, already exceed 80 000 head, and each day adds thousand to the grand total. Since the inception of this immense busine-s. Abilene and Texas cattle have been synonymous, and in consequence, from an insignificant f roniier railro id tati n. the tdace has grown to one of groat ; irn jiortance, and is a household word to every cattle dealer and drover in the country. Fh vated as it is, 1 .0.r7 feet above tide water, and situated in a section unsprjiassed for jaturago and wafer, this jtoint enjoys peculiar ad van tages for the cattle business. Its ele vation and fixo dotu from brush and un dergrowth, secures to Abilene the Texas Cattle trade for years to come, as the adj icent country is rich with nutriti oils grasses, and is tree from the annoy ; anes of flies arid ticks, the great jn-.ts j of cattle. The prejudice heretofore existing against Texas cattle, we are I glad to see, is fast dying out; and the rieh pasture hinds f Missouri. Illinois; and Indiana, as well as ('ooiado ami! Wyoming are fast filbng up with this hardy breed. Millions of ooll ns are realized eveiy ear by piiM h i-mg Texas cattle, holding them over during1 the winter, and realizing upon the n tin following sprint;. The market has not fairly opened yet, but we hear of some sales of beeves at from 2 to .', stock cattle at less figures. A liARf E Rope All account of the largest rope in the world, as des cribed in one of the daily papers of HiriiiLngham, England, tlu place of manufacture, will rcove .nteresting to the American reader. According to ti j . . . 1 .1 ,.,. UK uciaiih given, tue rojie is i i,uuu yards long, measures 5J inches in cir cumference, and weighs over 00 tons. Made of patent charcoal wire laid around a hemp center, the rope consists of six strands, with ten wires in each strand. Each wire measures l.'JJtjO yards, so that the entire length of the wire reaches the enormous total of more than 412 miles. To thi jH to be added the length of yarn used for the center, namely, 07 thread-, and giving a total length of about 230 miles. Adding together the wire and yam. there is a grand total of 035 miles of material, all going to make up a mon ster wire and hemp rope of little under six miles long. Subscribe for the IIepublioan.

Frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do on every occasion, ami fake it for granted you mean to do what is right If a friend a-ks you a favor, you should grant it if it is reasonable; and if it is not, tell him plainly why you cannot. You will wrong him and wrong yourself by efjui vocation of any kind.
