Cincinnati, afterwards living in Chicago year
or two. and going thence to pittsburg. He had
engaged in three battles, winning them al,
more by his pluck and bravery, combined,
with wonderful skill boxer, than by physical

Tho St. Louis Republican says: Mrs. Mary
Clemmer .Ames has been divorced from her hus-
band and bears the name OF Mrs. Mary
Ciemmer. Aud now she will have to work
several years to get her new namo up
reached under tho old one. Tho chief
drawback to the attainment Of fame
by woman is that there is no certainty this year
what her name will be tho next. mud thus the
work Of ! lifetime may be swept away in q mo-
not labor under any such disadvantage, md; as
= consequence. she is the most famous woman in
the world. OF course VIC refer to our old friend

Eour gentlemen Of the Farragut Boat Club
celebrated Christmas in q novel manner, by in
du1uging in l. TOW in Lake Michigan. The four
cared barge, "Farragut," WAS draped with bunt-
ing and the colors Of the club and launched from
the boat-houac, on the ice, dragged ncroes tho
basin, aud then put into open water. Tho wind
WAS blowing hard AMI the sea ran rather high.
but they seemed to enjoy it exceedingly. After
cruising about for oTor an hour the party re-
turned to the solid ice, and, once more dragging
their boat across the basin we're at their houss
once more. The feat was attended with danger,
and certainly is novel enough to att1act more
than passing notice.

At n short distanc, from Fort dc

sisting Of Monsieur, and Ma,lau,c La
X 'ssare, Mile Adele Moncry, the maid

day, while they were cnj"y ing he J,th,
and entirely unsuspicious of d.nscr.
the cmbankmcnt at the head of the
springs where thu waters were confined
in Urge reservoir, gave way, the ter.
rent overwhelmed the bathing houses
and bore the inmates to destruction
Among the victims was the beautiful
Nllo Adele. This young lady WAS CON
sidorod the most beautiful maiden on
the island, and we can not refrain from
relating story which illustrates the
power and fascination Of her charms.
Her brother, who was engaged in OK
tensivc numerical enterprise in Mar
Unique, suddenly found himself invol-
we'd, by the dishonesty Of n man with
whom he was connected, to pccuniary
difficulties, fram which he was unable to
extricatc himself, and ho failed for the
large sum Of one million francs. Una.
Bile to make true exhibit OF his affairs
without involving a person whom he
was unwilling to drag before the puolic,
he determined to sacriiice himsclf, and
fed from th6fsland without attempting
to justify himself to his creditors.
Criminal proceedings were commenced
against him. He was summoned to an,
pear at court, and on his failure TO do
so, he was pronounced guilty, and sen
fenced to be burned in effigy in the pub.
liz square. This sentence was carried
into effect. His sister, the beautiful
and fascinating Adele, knowing him to be
gnil'lcss, hrooded long over the disgrace
and sorrow which had cloudcd the hon.
or of the family, and at length she de-
termined to mako an effort to clear her
brothers character. Obtaining an in
tervicw with tho governor, she sank
upon her knees before him, and made an
impassioned appeal for clomency towarl
the fugitive who, che urged, had never
been heard in his own defence. Moved
by her beauty, her eloquenoo, and sis
torly devotion, The gallant old governor
whose heart WAS still young, gently rails.
ed her from the ground, and promised
\ full pardon for her brother il on new
investigation it should appear that he
had boen too severely dealt with. In a
few weeks she had the happiness to send
her brother full pardon, and pormis
sion to return to the island, Nor was
the old governor content with this sim.
pie act Of justice. lie gave the young
man pest Of honor and responsibility
under government, which be hold for
many years. But after tho tyagical
death of his sister his own life was des.
tined to end under cloud. Ho held a
position in the Troasury, and on ono oc.
ca:ion, when required 10 produce large
