There was light step and the rustic
of silk behind us, and with mighty
effort Harry Fame turned and bowed.
At the same moment turned my eyes,
and, resplendent in full evening dress,
with jewels in her hair and on her lovely
bosom, l beheld-the SignoriDa Angela.
Dinner was announced almost imme-
diatcly, and in state Of bewilderment
that bordercd closely upon insanity,

vince me that by some miraculous con-
vulsion of nature, or special interposition
of Providence, Harry Fame had. found
his '.Gorgon of a wife" in the woman he
SO passionately adored.
before the desert Mr. Fane's carriage
was announced, and gladly accepted
his invitation to go with him to the
opera, thus leaving the husband and wife
to an hour or two of quite enjoyment and
explanation.
It was talked over in Lady LIS box
that night, and learned that she had
been the originator Of the whole scheme,
and that to her womanly tact its success
was mainly owing. During tour that
she had made the previous year through
Spain, she had looked up her old friend
Mr.. Fame, and spent several days with
him at his villa near Cadiz. There she
had seen Angela, and had heard the
whole story of her marriage and of her
husbands persistent determination not
to see her or recognize her as his wife.
Convinced from the wonderful beauty
| and attractiveness of the girl that Harry
Fame could have no correct knowledge
or reccollection..of her, she conceived and
| insisted upon carrying out the plot which
in its denouement had been productive
of such happy results. To completely
disarm suspicion, should any arise in
Harry's mind, the Italian name and
| origin of the Signorina had been substi-
tuted for the Spanish; but his recollec-
tion of his wife was SO imperfect, and
his prejudice against her SO violent and
deep rooted, that to associate her for a
moment with the bright dream Of lowell
ness who had wound herself so tightly
round his Eeart had never for moment
occurred to him.
II can scarcely believe that am
breathing in the nineteenth century,"
said, when Lady l.. aud Mr. Fame had
finished their tale; !; "the story is altogeth-
er too romantic for the age VIC live in.
Fifty years hence shall be telling it to
my grandchildren in my far-off Western
home, and they will never believe that
knew all the actors personally and saw
the whole drama performed under my
very eyes"

THE ARKANsAw TRAvELER.-The
following is an extract from letter writ
ten from Hot Springs, Arkansas:
After throwing myself outside of the
usual amount of wild turkey, vcnison and
sweet potatoes to make up frst-class
Arkansas dinner, set out for walk In
the country While sitting upon the
fence, who should ] see coming down the
road but the very person that / was look
ing for since l had been in tho State of
Arkansas, viz /: the celebrated "Arkan-
saw Traveller" As he came, perched
upon his cart, had ample time to take n
good look at his turnout, which consisted
of one or, harnessed with every concciv-
able 5, rt of ropes and straps in shafts to
cart, the body of which was about as
large as common dry goods box |
stopped him, and he told me that his
load consisted Of pork and tatcrs. ! re.
marked to him that / supposed his wag-
on containing the pork would bc along
soon, when, without saying word, he
raised the cloth frvm the basket and re.
marked that "Therc was three as fns
hogs cut up in that 'ar basket as was eve
seed" The idea to Wabasher of thret
entire hogs in a thrce-peck basket bring
ing to markell Tho breed of hogs her,
they call the hazel splitters. ! asket
him il he could play on the violin. I tol'
him I did. He eyed me moment, ans
in that moment thought that plainl,,
saw bowie. knives for two. But instead
seeing that l was his friend, he merel,
remarked, "that he guessed vas I
stranger in this country" for if he couls
only play the fiddle, he could be eiectcs
to any Office he wanted. And as soon a
he said this he was invited to take

UNION DEPoT-A SUGGESTION.

Editors AppeGI-The locality of the
Memphis and Charleston railroad depot is
more central than any part of the present
or prospective city of Memphis. The
space occupied is triangular in shape,
lying in such a ann as to interrupt
Court and Jefferson streets, its greatest
width being from Adams to Madison on
the line Of Lauderdsle. Let Us suppose
the opposite triangle formed by Charles
ton avenue, Madison street and the bayou,
be appropriated for railroad uses. Together
these t~risngles form q square, Charleston
avenue dividing it ~disgonslly.
The Memphis and Ohio railroad, by curv-
ing into Winchester avenue, might pass
through Bull Run and High streets to this
great central square.
The Mississippi and Tennessee, and the
Selma road, using the old LAGRANGE route,
and by throwing in a curve between Wal
nut end Orleans streets, could connect
with and reach the central depot by the
present Charleston railroad route.
The ground is ample to accommodate
the local business of all the roads, and Is
admirably located for q grand union
passenger depot. As to elevators and
river connections, Let the Little Rock road
determine whether to eross from Hope
field to the navy yard by boats carrying
cars with their load, or to do the same
thing from the i" point" below the city
to Fort Pickering. In either route the
Little Rock road could reach the central
depot, and at the same time all roads
would reach the river at the point selected
by that road. A.

ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Two Men Wanted by the Express Com.
pay-DescriptiOn of the Thieves.

The Southern Express company offer q
reward of $1,000 for the apprehension of
two parties who are said to have psrtici-
psted in the robbery of their car at Union
City, in Obion county, last Sunday night.
The circumstances of the robbery are thus
given by the Nashville papers: The
northern bound train on the Mobile and
Ohio railroad had stopped at than oint,
awaiting the arrival of the train going
south, As was customary, the conductor,
engineer and brskemen left the train and
proceeded to the hotel to get their supper
At this juncture, four unknown men
boarded the train, one of whom got on
the engine and run it back more than
half q mile, when two of the gang seized
Mr.. Thomas, the express messenger, and
under threats of death, compelled him to
open the safe, which was robbed of up
wards of $4,000. The robbers then made
their escape, and at this time of writing
nothing has been heard of them. 1t is
stated that these men had arrived from
Chicago during the day. A notice is now
posted up in the Adams street police
Office, which contains q description OF two
of the vsgabonds, and offers $1,000 reward
for their apprehension. Here is a chance
for our detectives.

GEN. JOHN c. BRECKENRIDGE.
A Railroad Ring Around a Dtnner-Table
"A Happy Lot of Good Fellows

Yesterday there was an adjourned meet
ing of the board of directors of the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad company
held in the parlor of the Peabody hotel.
The venerable Chas. ]. ID. Rather, DR.. A.
Jones and Colonel George P. Beirne. rep
resenting Alabama, were present with our
local members of the board. The purpose
of the meeting hsd reference in part tothe
contemplated extension of the Memphis
and Charleston road to Sparta, Tennessee,
where it is proposed to form a connection
with the Lexington and Big Sandy and
other roads which General John q. Breck-
inridge represents BY this means Gin
cipnsti and Memphis will be made access
ible to wide districts of Tennessee; the
population snd wealth of counties that
must trade with Nashville will be
augmented; fresh vigor will be infused
into General Msney's Central road; the
barriers of the Cumberland range will
be surmounted; and Baltimore and Nor
folk, through Bristol, will find The short
est route through Nashville to the cities
and valley of the Mississippi.
Such were schemes discussed yesterday
by the excellent gentlemen who con-
ferred with General Breckenridge as to
the spesdiest and cheapest route to the
eastern cities through Kentucky.
At dinner, Yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Phelsn of the firm of Elet & Phelsn, pro-
nouncsd a toast, IS nearly So we can re-
collect in these words: General BTeck-
inridge and the trinity OF Ststes-Ken-
lucky, Tennessee and Alsbsms-linked

and splendor Of his sword, may their in
terests sOon be clasped in new bands by

The speech of Mr.. PhelRn and General
Breckinridge's response were brief
and tasteful and the entertain
ment, at which Major O'Bsn-
non presided, was worthy Of his own and
the fame of his distinguished guests.
Must the Memphis and Charleston road
be disposed of by its present owners, that
Tom Scott may make 1t part of his East
Tennessee line, or will General Brecken-
ridge and Major Wicks be suffered to
double and qusdruple the wealth of the
country beyond Nashville by the compile
ton of the road from Huntsville to Sparta
and lexington? These inquiries should
be made at Nashville when the Governors
