A CALIFORNIA HEIR-The will of Mrs.
Blaakman, an acquaintance OF Dan Sckles,
nee Fanny White, former notorious cour-
tesan of New York, has been offered for
probate in that city, and the citations made
returnable to the 10th proX. Among the
heirs or next kin to the deceased, is the
namo of Californian-Henry Meyers, of
Grass Valley--and II Ia alledged that the
will contains some curious provisions,
though publicity Is refused until the docu-
ment ia probated. The papers have been
filed with anecdotes of the deceased, from
which 1t appears that she had led rather an
eventful life. She once lived under the pro-
lection of the Leroys of New YOrk-a well
known rich family Of that city, and when
her protector died, be left her small for
tune. With this she recommended her old
business, and continued IL until the time
when Daniel Il. Siekles went abroad as Sec
retary of the British Legation, under James
Buchanan. Fancy White, II Is said went
with him, and while abroad they were on
the most intimate terms not only in Lon.
don, but on the continent. They returned
about the same time, and although she was
married to Blahkman, it is alledged by let
ter.writcrs. that her fancy for Sickles con-
tinued. Now comes the most wonderful
prrt Of the story. You remember that Sick
les detection Of Keys amours with his wife
was the result of an anonymous letter, in a
females handwriting. 1t is said that Fanny
White was the writer of the letter, although,
long before she had ceased to be immedi.
ately interested in Sickles-lhe motive for
exposing Mrs. Sickles is supposed to be a
desire to serve her husband. The anony-
nous letter has since been fully explained,
Notwithstanding several lame attempts to
that end. This may all be untrue, but il is
extremely romantic, and will be generally
believed. The taste of our people is very
morbid upon these subjects, and more col
umns have been devoted to this woman
since her death, than were devoted toHDan.

Return OF a Wnndsrcr.

According to the Portland Advertiser, a
son Of Maine, who has been for many years
in the British navy, managed to stay in his
native State when the Princes feet sailed
for Englaoa. The Advertiser says:
One day while the fleet was in port, re-
sident OF one of the interior towns in this
county, about twelve miles from Portland,
was looking about below decks, he was SUR
,prised 10 see one OF her majesty's sailors
step out from his mess, hold out bis hand for
"a shake" and call him by name. He Of
course returned the recognition, but utterly
at loss to know how sailor down between
the decks of British man-of-war should
know him and the town where he resided.
Walking a little aside the sailor soon told
his story, which, In brief was this: Some
fourteen years since, or more, he became
possessed with q desire 10 "see the world, ="
and left the old homestead. which was not a
great distance from that OF the visitor, and
in the same town. lie shipped on board u
vessel. and after several voyages arrived ia
England. Here, as usual, Jack had to live
ashore, and one night joined his companions
ain spree.v The oblivion OF liquor threw
its spell over his brain, and when he awoke
to sObriety and consciousness, he found
himself on board British man-Of-war. lie
claimed to be an American, but this plea
only led them 10 set closer watch upon
him.
For twelve long and wearied years he had
served on board of various ships of war,
and now, when withia Twelve or fifteen
miles Of his boyhood's home, the love OF It's
old hearthstone, its familiar trees and we'll
known hiil.sdes, all coUspired 10 give him
courage to make the effort to revisit them,
which he had oiteu resolved TO carry out,
but never had found fitting opportunity.
A few hours after this interview there
mipht have been seen down below the orlop
deck OF that ship two persons, one OF whom
appeared to be In the act Of dlvesting HIM
self of his clothes but seemed most fortu-
nateIy to have an extra suit on under his
external covering. Near him was sailor
who in less time than we can tell 1t was
stripped of his man-of.war rig, and stood

pocket and a Kossuth hat comewhat jam

To pass the marine guard at the ships

was an easy task for the two towusmen,
and once on shore, they made direct for

content to remain among his own native
hills, In one of the most quiet and beautiful
towns in Cumberland county, thoroughly
