Romantic History of One of Tom
BentOn's Daughters.


Let me tell you something about one
Of the school teachers of San Francisco,
by the way of illustrating the manner
in which fortune frolics with human ma
ture, and makes shuttlecocks of poor
humanity. Among the teachers is an
elderly }ady-the mother of five inter-
esting children. She was born in one of
the Western States, and was the first
born of one of the most distinguished
Senator's who ever sat in the legislative
halls of the United States. In her
young days she was the belle Of Wash
ton City. carrying away the palm from
the dark-eyed daughters of the South,
and the rosy-cheeked damsels of the
North. She gave her love to young
gentleman-then clerk in one of the
offices in Washington. Her father knew
the youth and recognized his great abili-
ties, and when he solicited the daughters
hand it was cheerfully given. The we'd
ding was a brilliant one, many of the
great menof the country being gpresentto
wish them joy and cheer them at the COM
mencement of their domestic voyage. The
young husband was shortly afterwards ad-
mitted to the bar of the United States Su-
preme Court and was soon recognized as
one of the most promising members
For many years he practiced his pro-
fession with great success, and was on
the high road to wealth and fame Then
came the discovery of gold in California,
and the consequent rush of emigration
to the new Ell Dorado. Among those
who determined upon going toCalifornia
was the husband. He consulted with
his wife, and she, like true woman, de
clared her intention of accompanying
him.
Together they came to California,
where the husband soon took leading
position at the bar, and amassed a for
tune. The people he associated with
were from the South, and like many 9TH
ers he began to drink to excess. When
the rebellion broke out he cast his sym-
pathies with the South. His brother-in-
law went with the North, and became q
Major-General. He had to give up the
practice of his profession, because he
could not take the oath required by our
Legislature. Out of business he drank
heavily, and soon began to mortgage his
property. Six years passed away, and
he died, leaving his wife with one child
without dollar. The noble woman i'm
mediately took in sewing to earn her liv-
ing, but found that she could hardly
keep soul and body together by that.
Some friends of her father and husband
offered to aid and assist her, but she
would receive nothing so long as she
could help herself. She, however, would
be thankful for assistance in procuring
her position as teacher in one of the
public schools Application was made

How a Compass and Firehy Saved
Il PriSOner.


lin Mr.. Parton's very interesting ac.
count of The Invention of the Compass
in Our Young Folks for February, is the
following curious story told him by a
Lake Champlain boatman ]
He said that he had been a prisoner
FOR eleven months in Andersonville dur
ing the late war, and when he heard
that General Sherman was at Atlanta,
about two hundred and forty miles dis
tant, he and his comrade determined to
try to escape, and make their way thith-
er. One of. them hadvan old-fashioned
watch with a acompass in the back of it
and by this they expected to direct their
course, which was nearly northwest
But, as they expected to travel only by
night, they resolved not to start until
they could get box of matches, so as to
be able to strike light now and then, to
look at their compass. They delayed
their departure for six weeks, trying to
get box of matches, for the purchase
of which they gave one of their negro
friends their last five dollar bill. He
could not buy box of matches for five
dollars, nor for any other number Of dol
lars, and SO at last they made up their
uinds to start with them.
assisted by their black friend, they
got away one afternoon, and lay hidden
until late in the evening, when they
started alta great pace through the woods,
and came about midnight to a road which
seemed to go, as nearly as they could
guess, exactly northwest. Seemed, l
say; but it might not, and if it did not,
it would lead them to capture and death
The night was not very dark, but the
stars were hidden by clouds; else the
friendly North Star would have guided
them upon their way Anxious as they
were to get on, they stood for several
minutes comparing recollections, and de-
batting the great question upon which
their lives depended. But, the more
they talked it over, the more uncertain
they became; and now they bitterly re-
GREETED their impatienco in coming away
without matches.
"There were great number of fire
flies flying about A lucky thought oc-
Cured to one Of them,-thc boatman
who told Us the story. He caught fire.
fly, and taking it between his thumb and
finger, held it over his compass. Imag-
inc their joy to find that the insect gave
them plenty of light for their purpose
and imagine their still greater JOY to dis
cover that the road led straight to the
Union army. Eight nights of travel
brought them safely to it."
Admirable inventionI I often wonder
that thing so valuable can be SO small,
simple and cheap. 1t is nothing but
needle, pivot, and a card, which you
can buy for half a dollar, and carry in
your pocket, or dangle at theend of your
Yet, small and trihing as
it is, ships company that should find
themselves in the middle of the ocean
without compass would consider it
great favor to be allowed to buy one for
many tho1sand dollars

ANCIENT RUINS IN ARIZONA.- a
party of surveyors in Arizona, engaged
in exploring the country for railroad
routes, lately came upon some very ex-
tensiye ruins upon the banks of the Little
Colorado river. They extend along the
river for many miles. Some of the walls
of the buildings are yet in their places,
and stand six or eight feet high. The
streets may be traced for miles. The old
irrigating canals and bitches are yet in a
fair state of preservation, and may be
traced for miles also. The ground is
strewed with broken crockery ware
The party found some nearly whole yes
sells, of curious form. The ware seems
to be Of different quality and finer
than that found at most of the ruins in
Arizona. Many Of the buildings are
built of hewn stone, and put up in a
workmanlike manner. To all appear
ances, here once stood city of many
thousands of inhabitants. Who they
were, or to what tribes they belonged,
there is no record left to show. On the
east bank are the ruins of large struc-
ture, covering several acres of land !;
some of the walls are yet standing, to
the height OF twenty or thirty feet.
