SUHK.-The steamer Gus Linn, was snagged
last Sunday morning, about eight or ten
miles below here, and sank immediately
Her passengers and crew were taken of by
the Emily. We suppose she is considered q
total loss. One of the causes Of the accident
was a very heavy insurance on her, which has
sank many a boat before. As this viii likely
be q good business the coming season, we
take pleasure in informing steamboat men,
that this is an excellent point for operating;
as there is a forest of snags in the river near
here, on which they can stave a boat all to
smash, without any ;rOnble, and in short
time.

Last autumn q young lady left Dundee for
Alexandria, to visit relations residing in that
city. AS the passengers were landing at Al
eXandria, a richly attired Turk advanced to
look at the arrivals, and seemed instantly 10
be struck with the charms Of the damsel from
" b0uny Dundee" lie approached her and
suddedly flung n string Of hgs about her neck.
The captain Of the boat came forward and in
formed his bewildored passenger that tho
Turks gift was a token Of admiration and Of
fcotiou. The matter speedily became serious.
Through the medium OF IN interpreter, the
Turk Cutored into conversation with the cap
tain, and inquired the sum for which he
would DO willing to sell t-e lady he he'd nine
wives already, he said, but could he possess
tiis new beauty, sue would be the Queen and
Light of his harem." The captain, for the
sake Of the joke, replied that he price was
slLty thousand piasters, { about e500.) The
lurb grumbled at the enormous demand it
was just double, he said, what he paid for the
most handsome Ciroassian, Georgian, or Min
grelian, ever brought to the Alexandria mark
co.. The captuin however stuck TO his price {;
and so the parties separated. But on the fol-
lowing morning, when the captain was escort
ing the lady to the residence Of her relations
the Turk made his appearance, and throwing
another fig necklace around the lady's neck
iEtimatod he was prepared 70 give the requi-
site sum Here was n dilemma. But the
captain soon cleared himself. "Foh % said
he you're 70 late l sold her yesterday for
a thousand piasters more 30 you've lost her"
The same young lady was married the ether
day in Dundee.-Perh Courier.
