Then. when on shore, those interviews with Miss Backboard. the school-mistress â€"who nearly had afit upon his happening, in the ordinary course of conversation, to mention the Lord Harryâ€"were very trying; and more embarrassing did matters become. when Miss Marion, grown to womanhood. seemed to have a. difficulty in calling him papa, which she had done for the last half dozen years, and could not kiss his weather-beaten cheek as usual without a blush upon her own pretty face. Then with a delicacy of expression such as my Lord Chesterfield could not have achieved, although he sat up half the night raking his brain for courtly phrases, the lieutenant just appointed to Lucky Bay had offered his horny hand to the friend- less girl, to have and to hold in marriage, if such an unequal match could really be contemplated by her with favor; though if not. the hand was hers still, so long as life was in it, dedicated to her service for her defence and succor always. But Marion Linton accepted her benefactor as her husband, and had never had any serious cause to regret that she had done so. No kinder heart ever beat beneath a blue jacket. nor were its noble simplicity and unselfishness lost upon her. Each, as they imagined, owed a great debt of gratitude to the other, and every day. strange as it sounds, that debt increased by mutual repayment. Without uxcriousness, which was foreign to his bluff and healthy nature,he was as devoted to her as he had promised to be if he had not become her husband: while she was anchored to him fast by that trustiest cable whose strands are reverence and esteem as well as love. Lieutenant John Carey had, in short, fallen into luck's way at last, and. as it was his delight to boast, with small thanks to the Admiralty. Their favor had not been demonstrated, and was therefore yet to come; and how so likely to come as through their own oflicial Visitor, at present expected ‘I This it was that made the good lieutenant so chary of his hospitality at this particular juncture, and so annous to shift the burden of enter- taining his strange guest upon Raymond‘s shoulders. The strike of the four hundred women employed in Lorillard’s tobacco factory came to a sudden and unexpected termina- tion yesterday by the decision of the em. ployers to close the strippers‘ department in Jersey City, and have the work done in Louisville, Ky. This, of course. will throw the four hundred women out of employment, with the prospect before them of a long and severe winter and no work to do. It is another instance. of the crushing power of capital. The demand of these women was eminently just. They had been tyrannized over by an unjust foreman. but. rather than yieldtotheir appeal for his removal, the Lorillards have preferred to incon- venience themselves and remove the department in which the dissatisfied women worked. Candidly. the wealthy manufacturers do not appear in an altogether enviable light. Since Mr. Lorillar‘d’s horses have been abroad, it is safe to say that he has given gratuities to his jockeys amounting to 8125.000. Yenter- day's action left four hundred women without the means of support. Further comment is hardly necessaryâ€"New York Express.

A Ila-tic Beauty and [In Inter on the “’1" to the Penitentiary. Three interesting convicts passed through the Union depot last night. on their way to Jefferson City in charge of Sheriff Davis. of Wayne County. from which place they hailed. They constituted a striking group! to look at. and for that reason a Republican reporter boarded the train and sought out the sheriff. from whom he obtained a brief history of the crimes they had committed. " That prisoner.” said he. pointing to a young man who sat in a seat near the midi ‘dle of the car. " murdered his own child last May. It wassupposed hehad committed the crime while laboring under temporary insanity. but counsel for the prisoner failed to make good that line of defence." His name. as given by the sherifl', was Wm. Cummins. and his age was not over 35 years. He was being taken to Jefferson City to serve out a ten years' sentence in the penitentiary. The second prisoner was a young man possessing a faultless shape and a handsome face. He looked cheerful enough to be a pleasure-traveller on a junketing expedition rather than a candi- date for the state prison. He was impli- cated in murdering a man by the name of George Macomb in Wayne County last May. and sentenced for a term of ten years. By his side eat the third. and by far the most interesting, prisoner of the group, a young girl not over 18 years old. She was well dressed, and wore a sad. resigned expression upon her beautiful countenance, tirl'at aroused the pity of every passenger in t 8 car. “ What crime has this sad-looklng crea- ture committed ‘2" was asked of the sherifi, whose sympathy appeared to be equal to that_qf other passengers. “ The story of that young girl is very . remarkable. A number of years ago she . fell in love with the prisoner sitting by her side. and will,‘I think, eventually marry him after they both serve out their sen- tence. Their love for each other is so true that nothing but the death of one of them, I think. will ever prevent them from becom- ing united in marriage. When her lover, the prisoner Steigall, was arrested and committed on the charge of murder, she stoutly protested that he was innocent. She used every means to obtain for him his liberty; sat by his side during his trial, and stuck to him with a heroism which only a faithful woman can display in behalf of ‘ the choice of her heart.” " What is her crime ‘2" “ Her crime is not as great as that of her lover, but one which the State punishes almost as severely. After Steigall had been sentenced, and after all legitimate resources had been exhausted, the girl then set about to secure their libertv by resort- ing to various schemes, some of which came near being successful. On a dark night last June, at a late hour, she purchased a number of knives, files, and other tools. Procuring a ladder she then stole silently to the rear of the jail, and proceeded to carry out her plans. Climbing up the ladder to a window she dropped the tools into the jail and endeavored tobeat a hasty retreat before being discovered. She might have effected her escape had not the tools in striking the floor of the jail inade a loud ringing noise. This aroused the guard, who intercepted her and prevented-her escape. bhe was tried for the offence, found guilty, and sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of ten years. The judge, owing to her age and appearance, took compassion upon her. and reduced the time one-half. It is said that an effort will be made by the citizens of \Vayne County to procure her pardon."â€"St. Louis Republican. Twelve Simple Rules [or Genius Money from Slow Payers.

More'rnsu, Oct. 25.â€"â€"A very interesting story is talked of in some family circles. which are believed to be what a Yankee would call “some pumpkins." It a pears that {our young adieuâ€"young la ies of course, as there are no otliers~enteredinto a correspondence recently with aclergy- man in London, Eng. This family were daughters of a gentitmau who once was a Major in the English army, and during the regmie of the Canadas WuH at one time an A.D.C. to the Governor-General. The cler- gyman with whom the ltldlui corresponded had retired from the pulpit with a hand- some allowance. and had an income of about £5,000 a year. Besides he was 65, intellectually infirm, and might die at any moment. Here was a catch. The corres- pondence grew from the stage of friendli- ness. past the familiar. and into the tender lines. One of the daughters was a widow. and 45 years of age. She wanted to send a ‘ photograph that would give her the fresh} look of her younger sisters. She hit upon 1 a plan ; the photographic art could beaided‘ by agood tinter. One of these took the‘ truthful photograph and touched up the seraggy neck, relieved the shadows of the low temples and high cheek bones, pencilled the eyebrows, and even dimpled the chin. The teeth were already attended to by the dentist. The aged suitor sent for her. but when she reached England hi- sisters demanded the reason of the change from her appearance in the photograph. She attriouted it to weariness from the long sea journey. They refused to believe i t. and refused to admit her to the bedside of their brother, who was now dying. In the meantime the old man died. and they offered the Canadian woman £1,000 to withdraw her claim. She declined, and will sue for the income of the deceased gentleman upon theground that documents in her possession are quite equal in law to a marriage contract. Up in New Hampshire is a well known eccentric individual, self‘oonstituted outer of all ills, a. sort of universal panacea, who with all his eccentricities, has a. fund of actual wit that is hard to beat. Not long ago the “ doctor ” was called to the witness stand, the opposing counsel, who it is said sometimes " wets his whistle," knowing the doctor's peculiarities, ventured, in cross- exa.n_iining him, to show him up a. bit. “ Whatu' 13 your business? ’-’ pompously inquired the couqsel. -_ - - u . ‘0... 1' 7 “ My business 18 to do what little good I can toy my fellow-men,” modestly replied the doctor. “ But; that doesn’t answer my question,” grufiiy remarked the counsel. “ How do you spend your tim_e. 9" -_-. .. . . ‘ . n ‘ “.Wfiy. ‘ Squire,’ it takes about all my time to do what I said," remarked the doc- tor. “ But I want something more definite," stouhly demanded the counsel. “ How do you _g_o aboqt you; business ? ’.’ Thu urn-II ofn Uolll‘llhlp In lwller. "That depends upon circumstances. according to the nature of the case," exclaimed the doctor. “ For instance. if I were going to commence on you, the first thing I should do would be to advise you to sign a. temperance pledge! " “ n on v The court routed. and the counsel, as if convinced the doctor was pursuing a. legitimate and respectable vocation, pro- ceeded with the regular cross-examination. In June last while some workmen were engaged in digging a ditch on the farm of Mr. George Cromwell. Township of East Oxford, they came upon the remains of what must have been a mastodon, and of great antiquity. The jaw, which is very complete, is two feet four inches long. and the teeth. which are still well preserved, weigh four pounds. Several of the ribs, the humerus. radius, neck joints and many of the small bones were also found. The whole have been exhibited at several of the country fairs in this district by the finder. Mr. Amos Carter, and when at Otterville a few days ago the attention of the Min- ister of Education was drawn to the col- lection. On Saturday a number of gentle- men visited the spct where the remalns were found. All were much interested in the remains, and it is hoped that when the balance of them, which are supposed to be still intact. are found. they will be secured for the museum of our national University at Toronto. Tna monster cannon which, as has} already been chronicled in our despatches, 1 was successfully cast at Reading, Pa., the‘ other day. is knownas the Lymann-Haskell accelerating, or multi-charge cannon. It is asixdnch bore, and along the bore are four additional chambers for powder, the latter being successively discharged after the initial charge of powder in the chamber has been fired. It is calculated that 130 pounds of powder will throw a solid iron projectile weighing 150 unds at least ten miles, and that it wil go through asolid mass of wrought iron nearly two feet thick. The inventor claims that a twenty- inch accelerating gun is irresistible, far ‘eolipsing the celebrated loo-ton Armstrong gun made for the Italian Government. The pockets are loaded in the same manner as a breech-loader, each pocket to contain twenty-eight pounds of powder. The cham- ber is to contain eighteen pounds. A velo- city of 3,000 feet per second is claimed as attainable with the new gun. Onn oablegrams have recently chronicled and afterwards contradicted the death of General Joseph Alexis Uhrich, one of the most noted characters in the Franco-German war. He was put in com- mand of Strasburg after the disaster of Reichshoffen. He hada very insufficient number of troops at his command. Being summonedto surrender on August 28rd, 1870, he resolved to defend the town. which was at once bombarded. It held out till September 27th, having received durin the month's siege more than two hundred 1 thousand projectiles. Paris was enthusias- tio over the gallantry of the defence, and‘ changed the name of the Avenue de l’Impératrice to that of Avénue Uhrich, but a council of in uiry thought proper to blame the General or his surrender, and the avenue resumed its former name. General Uhrich was born at l’halsbourg, February 16th. 1802. The Winnipeg 1mm announces that Sir John Macdonald will visit Manitoba next Ills “’uy 0! Doing Good. A NOVBI; CLAIJI. A Valuable Discovery. A [flux-Ion \Vorlunun'u 'l‘c-rrlble 'l‘umhlc [run a Hatfield. Yesterday morning a young man named Cuddiford. an apprentice of Mr. E. Tassel. the contractor for the mason work on the new cotton factory. Kingston. ascended In the top of the tower to resume work. He had not been there long until he was precipi- tated down through the scaffolding. etuk- ing on the bottom with e. dull thud. He was picked up in an apparently lifeless icondition. Doctors were summoned, but it was thought to be only a question of a. few hours until death would ensue. He fell a. distance of seventy feet. He was taken to his home at the Grand Trunk depot. But a. short time ago another man died from injuries re- ceived by a. falling brick at the same factory. Late in the day the young man was taken to the hoepitgi. _After tailing seventy feet he struck Bu his hands and Ida. Hie {wrists are dislocated and both forearms broken. His face egruqk aeyerel sharp phones. whim} penetrated the flesh. Both upper and lower jaws were smashed into numberless pieces. It is said that after striking the ground he ‘rebounded several times. The doctors say he cannot live. He is aged 17. The cold air caused him to dance round to keep his feet warm. His heel strucka small piece of brick, which overbalanced him, and he went down through ano en space in the scafiold. Later.â€"Inquiry ast evening at the hospital found Uuddiford still alive, with favorable symptoms. He is still in a semi-conscious state. It is pro- bable that he has received no severe inter- nal injuries. A most successful and daring burglary was accomplished at the residence of Mr. Hugh Paton on Sherbrooke street, Mon- treal. at about 4 o’clock yesterday morning. Aservant was awakened by hearing a rasp. ing noice proceeding from the kitchen, which opens on the dining-room. She thought it was the cat and dozed of! to sleep again. About 5 she got up. and to her dismay discovered that all the silver in the dining-room had disappeared. Further investigation showed that every piece of silver in the dining and drawing-rooms had been carried away. The loss amounts to something over $4,000. An entrance was effected by boring holes close together in the panel of the kitchen door a little below the unlock. which was the only fastening. A saw was next employed, and an aperture thus made large enough for a man to'insert his hand and unlock the door. A Mrs. Brooks, who left with a man on Tues. day to be married in New York, is suspected. She has been a servant in the house. A gentleman of this city tells the fol~ lowing anecdote of the late Dr. Spring. for many years of the Old Brick Church in New York city. for the accuracy of which he vouclies: When the doctor had reached a good old age and had become somewhat feeble. he was met by one of his old parishioners just us he was coming out of the New York poet- office. “ How do you ‘do, Dr. Spring?" said the friend; " I am very glad to are you." “ How do you do, â€"-â€"?” replied the doctor. “I am very Well, and I am very thankful to have met you, forI have a letter in the poet~oflice, but I couldn’t get it because I couldn’t remembemuy on 1 name. Now I can-go in and get it."- New London (Conn) Day. THE death of Prince Frederick of the Netherlands has just been announced in Europe. He was a soldier in the battle of Waterloo. During that action he was stationed with 18,000 men to cover the army of Wellington and protect Brussels in case any sudden turn that way should be made by Napoleon. There are now but few survivors of the battle. Among them. however, is the Emperor of Germany. But he took part in the campaigns against France at even an earlier date than the Dutch Prince just dead. William took the field in 1813, entered Paris with the allies in 1814, and was at Waterloo in 1815. Both he and Prince Frederick were born in 1797, 1but the Emperor is a month the younger. IT is announced in England that Mrs. Jane Spurgeon, the wife of the brother of the famous preacher, died in the first week of October. She was the daughter of the old veteran field marshal, Sir John Bur- goyne, who. in turn, was the natural son of General John Burgoyne, who surren- dered to the American army at Saratoga in the war of the revolution. James Spur- geon was a student when he wooed and won her, while she accepted him with the slim chances of a Baptist minister’s life. Sir John Burgoyne, her father, was.the engineer-in~chief of the British army at the siege of Sebastopol. and the first to point out that the Malakofi tower was the key to the Russian position. Mr. Goldwin Smith, in his paper on the Jews, thinks “it is time for the rulers of Christian churches in general, and for those of the Established Church in articu- lar, to consider whether the snore books of the Hebrews ought any longer to be presented, as they are now, to Christian people as pictures of the Divine character and of the Divine dealing with mankind.” Dr. Peck, Bishop of the American Pro- testant Episcopal Church in Africa, says that four out of his seven white ministers will come back to America for their health this year. and that sickness makes the work of white missionaries so irregular that the proportion of negro laborers must be increased till the whole work is turned over to them. The well meant effort of a clergyman to quiet a panic in a crowded curoh at Brad- iord.1’a., really increased the fright. He led off in a hymn at the top of his voice, but his shouts were so unmusical that the people thought he was terrified, and the struggle towards the doors was redoubled.

The Lake Simcoe sea monster has again been seen, this time near Eight Mile Point, where it was observed by two children of Mr. J. B. Cooke. When they approached the lake shore they saw the animal lying motionless, partly on the shore and partly in the water. The sea serpent, says the Barrie Advance, according to the children’s description, was about thirty feet in length, with long. fish-shaped tail and four fine or arms with claws, those in front being long i and powerful while the two hind ones were about the length of a man’s arm. The head was sharp and pointed. with large prominent eyes placed high up in the fore- head like a cow's, and an immense. gaping mouth. The submarine monster‘s de- parture took place some five minutes after the thoroughly startled children first noticed it. and was without ceremony, the “ What-is-it" fully displaying its hideous form preparatory to slipping quietly into deep water. whither it propelled itself at a high rate of speed by long, powerful strokes with its iore fins, and was almost imme- diately lost to sight.
