ROMANCE IN WAR.

At all times in history period Of war
has been at the same time one of romance,
both in actual life and in fiction. An in
cident which took place during the war
in Hungary, is stranger than much of the
fiction which owes its origin to scenes of
revolution and bloodshed.
Among those who obcyed the call to
arms, was the young Count Djungady,
not long married to young lady of great
beauty. As may be supposed, their part
ing was a sad one, relieved however, by
the expectation of happy meeting when
the campaign should be over. Spending
her days in solitude, the young bride was
suddenly attacked by a severe illness.
Upon recovering she observed that all the
looking glasses had been removed from
her apartments. Her woman's curiosity
led her to ask herself what could be the
cause of this measure. Pondering upon
it she came to the conclusion that her
disease must have been no other than
small pox, and that she was probably
very much disfgured. Making inquiries
Of her attendants, she by degrees drew
from them the information that her sur
mises were very correct. 1t had boon a
very bad case Of small pox, and her once
lovely face was now total wreck.
Overcome with grief and horror at the
loss of her youthful charms, in which her
h,,- bon1 ha1 toI.oD ,,onnh YNriIo md
pleasure, she determined never again to
allow him to look upon her. While oc-
cupied with various plans for avoiding
him, or rather for leaving him altogether,
she learned that owing to some unforeseen
cause, his return was hourly expected.
Hearing a slight commotion in the court
yard, she went to the window, and to her
great distress recognized his uniform.
She ran eagerly to bolt the door, but just
then his well known knock made itself
heard,
1" You cannot see me ~ she exclaimed,
"you can never, never see me again"
- know that" answered his deep
voice, "but lot me in, do, for you can see
me-"
A cannon ball struck him in such
way as to destroy the sight of both eyes /;
the news had been concealed from her,
and he upon recovery was sent with an
honorable dismissal home.
Their meeting was one Of mingled Joy
and grief. His sightless condition enabled
him to preserve unfaded the memory of
the beauty Of his faithful wife, and she
could be TO him eyes in his darkness

ORice-Her Arrival at Yokohama Not
Yet Chronicled-What MIR. Bellows
Says-He Has No Fears AS Yet.
A HERALD reporter called at the Office of the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company yesterday to ascer
tain if any news had been received of the missing
steamship Alaska. Mr.. Bellows informed him that
the arrival of the Alaska had not been chroniced
at Hong Kong yet. He gave the reporter some
further particulars OF the vessels voyage
SO far as known. He said that the
company was not certain indeed that the
vessel had, in fact, arrived at Yokohama,
Japan, as no message had been received as yet to
that effect, though 1t was not usual to give any in
timatiOn of the arrival of the cOmpany's vessels at
any port except Hong Kong, which was the termi-
nation of the voyage. Sometimes, indeed, the
agent did not send any news OF tile arrival of YES
sells, but only kept the company informed of the
fact OF their resailing on their voyage home. He
further said that he would not telegraph to
Hong Kong to have particulars as he did not think
there was any cause for anxiety as yet. The
Alaska left San Francisco on the 10th Of December,
and at this time was given thirty-twO days to
make the passage, though in fine. weather
thirty days was the usual time. She
and allowing two days for a despatch to arrive
here, the vessel was only seven days overdue,
which he did not consider as being at all alarming
in such time Of the year and with voyage OF
such extent The Alaska, he said, was sharp
going vessel, and made generally good time. She
was safe, reliable boat, and was in charge Of an
experienced captain.
The fact that Mr.. Bellows says the arrival of the
vessel at Yokohama Is even uncertain makes it
probable that If disaster has happened it has been

with some accident are much more serious, as the
voyage is so short, and seven days overdue in q

to think that the delay or such there is) Is very
likely owing to some disarrangement OF the ma
chinery OF the vessel, which would naturally delay
her and would give no cause for fear for days to
come. They state that they are fully alive to the
fears and apprehensons which are felt regarding
the safety OF the vessel, and that just as soon as
any news arrives 1t will be made public

the practice of representing the owl as her IA
