The Romance of n Rich Yonug Girl.

There is young girl employed in the factory
at Ottawa, Canada, where the Bank Note Com
pany turns out Canadian greenbacks by the cord,
whose life from her very cradle has been ro-
nance worth telling. During the ''cholera
yeAr'-About 1866, unless my theory is at fault
there came to Ottawa, then Bytown, young
American couple, travelling, it would seem for
pleasure or seeking home in Canada. Hardly
had they arrived here than both were smtten by
the fatal disease and died with that terrible
rapidity which marks the most aggravated cases.
They died at hotel, leaving behind them
baby daugter but a few weeks old aud nothing
whatever to indicate their identity beyond the
fact that they came from New York. The pro-
prietor of the hotel was about to send the child
to the Founding Hospital, when childless wo-
man Of middle age, whom he had emplOyd to
wash the infected clothing Of the sick, offered
to take charge of 1t and If il lived, adopt il as her
own. The child lived and thrived and grew up
a handsome and clever girl, unaware that any
one but the woman she called mother had given
her birth.
Il was not until some four or five yearr since
that gentleman from New York, interested in
the publication OF weekly journal in Park Row,
happened to be passing through this city and
heard the girls queer history. A little invss-
tigatlon suficed to show that she was his niece,
the son Of his brother who had died there 80
many years before, and the manner OF whose
death the survivor had been unable to trace.
The result Of his conference with the glrl and
her foster-parents was her departure with him
for New York, where she remained until last
summer, enjoying every advantage Of education
and position which wealth could confer upon
her. Then she came to Ottawa to pay her fos-
ter-mother visit. She found things with the
old woman changed for the worse. Her husband,
who had been in his lifetime sort Of crier or
tipstaff in one OF the courts, was dead, and she
had been compelled to take the tub and mange
again to earn livelihood. What put it into the
girls head-deyotion, fancy, or what not-I can
not say, but certain it is that she vowed not to
leave her old mother" while she lived, but to
stay with her and work for her. Her uncle came
from New York SO soon as she apprised him OF
her intention and eDdeavored to induce her to
alter her determination, but she was infexible.
She gave up her easy homs In New York, with

Sir Robert John lie Mesur1er Mcclure,
&. IL.
The London Times Of Oct. % has the
following
"The distinguished Arctic voyager,
Vice-Admiral Sir Robert LIE Mesurier
Mcclure, @. B., whose death has been
recorded in our columns. was the son
of Capt. Robert Mcclure, of the
Eighty ninth regiment, and was born
in 1907. He was educated at the high
school, Winchester, and entered the
navy in 1924. He joined the expedi-
tion sent in 1850 in search of Sir John
Franklin, and was second in command
of the investigators, and it was while
engaged In navigating those seas that
he had the honor of discovering and
completing the northern passage On
Sept6 he discovered high land, which
he named Baring's land on the 9th,
other land which he named after Prince
Albert; on the Both the ship was fro
zen in. Capt. Mcclure entertaining a
strong conviction that the water in
which the Investigator then lay com
municated with Barrow's straits, he
set out on Oct. 21st with few men in
sledge, to test his views. On Oct. 26
he reached Point Russell Is Deg. 81
min. north latitude, liz deg. IA min.
west longitude, where, from an eleya
ton OF 600 feet, he saw Parry's or Mel
vile sound beneath them. The strait
connecting the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans he named the Prince of Wales.
Intelligence of the important dis
covery was brought to England
by Ingle6eld, and the admiralty
chart was published in October, 1853.
Capt. Mcclure returned to England in
September, 1854. He was promoted to
post rank, and was created a knight
bachelor for his eminent services in the
Arctic regions.
He was further rewarded by a grant
of e5, OOC, a similar sum being dis
tributed among the officers and crew.
He had received the Arctic medal, and
was nominated a companion of the
Order of the Bath III May, 1859. His
next command was to the Elk, in 1856,
on the west coast of America, and after
ward in China, where he commanded
the division of the naval brigade before
Canton, and subsequently served as
senior officer in the Straits of Malacca
and Hong Kong during the passage of
the troops from India and China. Capt.
Mcclure returned in 1861, since which
he has been unemployed. His commits
sion as captain bore date Sept 49,,

Tea Adulterated.

Three Liverpool grocers have re-
Gently been fined for selling tea adul-
terated with iron filings, and one of
the journals OF that city takes up the
cudgels in their defence, asserting that
they were as badly vlctimized as their
customers, for the adulteration was the
work of the ''heathen Ghinee." The
evidence Of the public analysis cited in
behalf Of the unfortunate grocers, his
investigation proving that the iron FL
lngs must have been introduced before
the tea-leaves were rolled. II the
wholesale buyers in Liverpool are thus
cheated by the Celestial exporter, our
own merchants are just as liable to be
the victims of q similar imposition,
and we may very soon hear them charg.
ed with adding an injurious make
weight to their goods. In this event
it may be some consolation ito know
that the proportion of adulterating
matter is not very serious, and that, as
it inevitably settles to the bottom OF
the urn in the process of sleeping,
there is little danger of our stomachs
receiving an iron coating.

The MetterDich Wine.

OF all the legends of the Rhine, none,
says the London Standard, are more
romantic, and certainly none are more
improbable, than the stories told
about the prices which from time to
time paid for the rarer vintages of that
bountiful valley. Many of these le-
gends circle around the conical and not
very picturesque hill that is surmount-
ed by large and plain white building,
apparently wine factory, but in reality
Prince Metternich's castle. Indeed the
most common beliefs that the choicest
products of this same Johannesburg
never get into the market at all but
they are reserved by their illustrious
owner to be sent as presents to the
crowned heads of Europe: and that
the Johannisberger of ordinary life
including that which the curious trav-
eler is permitted to purchase at the
castle itself-comes from the less IA
vored portions Of the vineyard, and
from the district lying Immediately
around the hill. What seems to be an
authentic statement, however, has just
been published, of the sale of the finest
cask of wine in the princes cellar: and
the price given for it is said to be the
highest ever paid in the Rheingau.
For this cask, containing 1,50O bottles,
MIR. Consul Bauer, of Moscow, has
agreed to pay at the rate of 81 lbs. I'D.
(about IS SOY per bottle, Ills goodly
price; although it destroys some of
the beautiful superstitions connected
with the famous vineyards of the
Rhine. By the time this costly ton has
arrived at Moscow, and the wine been
bottled and kept tor time to acclima-
tie itself; we should fancy that the
fifteen hundred bottles of Johannis-
berger would be indeed valuable. We
trust the lucky folks who may drink OF
this expensive liquid may find the VINE
worth the money that has been gwen

From the BROWNSVILLE (Ienn.) Bee, Nov. Z.
The day wheeled on immense prep
arations were going on for the ball at
night, which was to be the GROWING
success of the season, but at three
everything stopped; a courier had ar
rived bringing the sad intelligence that
Sheriff Alsabrooks had been shot down
in cold blood. Ii the sun had left it's
meridian, or the moon reversed it's
course and moved from west to east,
more excitement could not have pre-
vailed. It was terrible thing; MUIR
der most foul, cool, unprovoked, de-
liberate The soulless wretch who
committed the crime gave his name as
Jeff. Baker, formerly of Nashville, and
has been engaged for some time past
on the Ripley railroad. He was stand
ing in front of Affords saloon brandlsh-
ing pistol around his head and be-
having in a boisterous manner when
the sheriff approached him, took his
pistol, told him to keep quiet, then
took him by the arm and. both started
toward the court house, but had not
gone over twenty steps when Baker
drew another pistol, presented it at
l.,
"What right have you to bother me %
fired, the ball striking the collar but
ton and burying it deep in his throat.
Mr.. Ed. Felsenthal was standing near
and sprang on the murderous villain,
bore him to the earth, and held him
securely till the proper officers came
up and took charge of him. Skillful
medical aid hurried to the relief of the
wounded man, but it was of 40 avail ;
he spoke but two words as trem-
bling hands lifted him from the
blood-stained pave-they were, Go Be
easy !'-then expired. His remains
were borne to the Ferguson House,
where a large crowd gathered to take a
last look at their esteemed friend and
fellow-citizen. It is a sad picture,
and one which would have moved a
heart of adan1ant to tears. AS we
stood and gazed upon his placid fea-
lures, paled by deaths damp dews, it
was hard to realize that but an hour
ago they were flushed with the rosy
hues of life and health He wore
calm and peaceful look, and we'll might
those who grouped around, with faces
that spoke unutterable sorrow and
eyes dimmed with pltying tears, have
said
He is not dead, but sleepeth.
The news of his murder spread far
and wide, swift as flames on a level
plain driven before tempestuous winds,
and by II o'clock that night the town
was thronged with excited men clamor-
ing for revenge; the Jail door was
forced, and the poor wretch who, but
few hours before, defed man and
laughed at death, was dragged forth,
suspended from limb. and pierced with
sixty-three bullets. We tender our
heartfelt sympathy to the grief-stricken
family of the murdered man, and hope
they find solace in the comforting
thought that his spirit has heavenward
winged it's fight and entered in at the
pearIy gates of the celestial city to join
with angel bands in their feasts and
songs, and is forever free from the ills
and wrongs of this vale of tears.
