A REAL ROMANCE.

There is quite a romantic little story being told in Philadelphia anent a pretty girl, who, not many months ago, was a olerk in one cf the two largest book stores in the Quaker city The girl wns bright, und her cleverness made as many friends for her of the customers who came to buy books from her as did her pret'y face. She came of a good G'ermantown family, and to feel that ehe must work week after week for the small stipend of Sdols , was disagreeable to her.

The girl had made a friend of one of Philadelphia's wealthy and kind-heaitcd men, and at biß office she presented herself one day with a moderate request whether he cou'd not aid her to secure a better position. •' I would like best of nil to secure a position in one of tb« departments at Washington," said the girl. Forthwith the man of influence gave the girl a letter of introduction to one of the members of the Cabinet, which early the following week she presented at the deportment. She was referred to the private secretary of the Cabinet office, who told her that the eesretary was too busy to see her. " Very well," Bhe said, ' I will call tomorrow." She did, and ngain the private secretary defended his chief from the pretty little office-seeker. But she was undismayed, and twice more did she present herself, without Bucceep, For the fifth time she came. Then the private secretary relented, and she saw the Secretary of .

It was bnt a week thereafter thnt Bhe received an appoiutmerjt of 1200dola per year. Life went on very smothly with tho girl in her new position, aDd finally her Philadelphia friend received a note aßkiiJ g whether it wns possible for him to cc me aun 6ce her at Washington on a matter of great importance.

The kind-hearted Philndelpbiiu acceded t) the girl's wish. Then he was told that a young mau hnd asked her to marry him — ths private secietaiy who hid trit d to hard to prevent her from seeing hia chii f. Everything waa soon settled, and to-day the young b. ok dcikis the dmighter-iu-law of one of the members of President Harris^ on'd Cabinet.

It i 3 suid that Mercfdes Lop r z, a Mexican woman who livrs on the Rio Grand* 5 , is perh«ps the longest-hair wonnn in the world. She is some five fret in heigl t, and when she stard* errct her hair trails on the ground 4ft Bin Her hair is so thick tl at she can draw it round her so as to cc mp.'e^ely hide herself. H< r prrsent growth of hair is only five years old. It grows so thk-kly as to (a Fe her hradachte, and she spllp Inrge tresses to Vnir dealers evfry moutb.
