A MATRIMONIAL ADVENTURE. "A re-
markable story which is vouched for rs
absolutely true in relation to the discovery
of a long-lost wife, is told in late Scotch
paper-the Post of Glasgow The Abel.
phi Theatre in that city was open, and
that pleasant play, the "Battle OF Sedge.
moor" was in course of performance. 4
~favorite actress, Mrs. De Bourgh, was up
on the stage supporting n Of the charac.
tiers, when a tall, military man, in one of
the stage boxes, gazed wildly about him
and starting up from his seat, loudly exclai.
med-"My wife; by Heavenl my Eiiza?'
OF course, establishment and excitement
ensued, and an explanation took place,
which resulted in the discovery, that the
| gentleman was a Lieut.. Lewis, and that
he was in truth the lady's husband. He
had been on foreign service for many years
and was now accompanied by the lady's
son-af fine fellow oftwo and twenty. Each
believed the other dead, and the lady had
married a Mr.. De Bough, who had been
dead about Is months. Soon after this
| meeting, a most agreeable denouement
took place, for the reunited and happy
pair ayailed themselves again of the bene-
fit of the clergy, and no objections being
made by the church or state, these two per-
sons, whom the fortunes of war had put
asunder, were remarked in the presence
Of a large body of rejoicing friends.

which we take tho following remarkable
statement
The following narrative is from the off,
ciaI report of the province of Pernambuco.
The events took place in 1890:
at is now more than two years since a
man named Joao Antonio, an inhabitant of
sition de pedra Bonita, a place about twen-
ty leagues from this town, surrounded by
woods, and near which are two large rocks,
called together the people, and told them,
that within those rocks tlere was an en-
chanted kingdom which he was about TO
~disenchant, and that Immediately after
wards King Don Sebastian would make his
appearance, at the head of a large army,
richly adorned, and that all who followed
him would be happy. He went on beau

AzrEC RUrNs.-Mr. Stanley, the artist,
who accompanied Gen. Kearnyto Califor-
mia, writes as follows:
There has been much speculation in re-
gard to the Aztec remains in the valley Of
the Gilia. That il has once supported a
vast population, we could not doubt, for the
ruins of their towns and cities are plainly
visible for hundreds of miles. Stone foun.
dations are frequently seen, covering man.
Y acres, but, with one exception, we did
not find any building in any dsgree of pre-
~servation. This was about four miles from
our trail and two hundred and four miles a.
bove the mouth ofthe river. This building
is so feet by As, three stories high, and is
constructed of the adobe, similar to thai
used in the houses of New Mexico. Wheth.
er these ruins have aay connection with
those of South America is not known. The
plains in their vicinity are covered for miles
with broken pottery Of burnt clay beauti
fully painted and ornamented, and this wal
the only clue which we had to the advance
ment of the builders inthe mechanical arts
The Pemos Indians have but very imper
feet traditions ofthese remains.
