once to Tripoli, to have the girl sent on by
the first steamer to Beirut. The Moslem
women now told the girl that orders had
come to have her killed, and that she was
to be taken on steamer as if to 90 to
Beirut, but that really they were going to
throw her into the sea, and that if she
reached Beirut alive they would cut her
up and burn her! So the poor child went
on the steamer in perfect terror, and she
reached Beirut in a state of exhaustion.
When she was rested, Commission was
formed consisting of the Moslem Kadi of
Beirut, who was acting Governor, the
political Agent, Delenda Effendi, the Greek
Catholic Bishop Agabius, the Maronite
Priest Yusef, and the agent of the Greek
Bishop, together with all the members of
the Executive Council.
Her father, mother and aunt were now
brought in and sat near her. She refused
to recognize them, and was in constant
fear of being injured. The Kadi then
turned to her and said, do not fear, my
child. You are among friends. Do not
be afraid of people who have threatened
you. No one shall harm YOU The Mos
lem Kadi, the Greek Catholic priests, and
others having thus spoken kindly to her.
the father and mother stated the history of
how the little girl was lost nine years ago.
and that she had scar on her breast.
The scar was examined, and all began to
feel that she was really their own daughter.
The girl began to feel more calm, and the
kadi told her that her own mother wanted
to ask her few questions.
Her mother now went up to her and said,
My child, don't you remember me?' She
said, No, l do not Don't you remember
that yeur name uas once Zahidy, and used
to call you, and you lived in a house with a
little.yard, and flowers before the door, and
that you went with the little girls to school,

girls. Oh, va imme! You are my mother
and she sprang into her arms and wept, and
the mother wept and laughed, and the Mos
lem Kadi and the Mufti, and the priests and
the Bishops and the effendis and the great
crowd of spectators wiped their eyes and
bowed their heads, and there was a great
silence.

said, Your Excellency, you see this poor

A WoNDERFUL PIECE OF Work.

A WONDERFUL GlECE OF NORk.-
A lady living in Troy \. Y, has in her
possession wonderful piece of handi-
work wrought by her mother when only
fifteen years of age. The piece repre-
sents Il scene in Grecian mythology
Penelope taking down the bow of Ulysses,
the circumstances being familiar to all
students of ancient history. Thepicture
is embroidered on white silk, and the
colors, not withstanding their age, which
is about So years, are now as bright as
new. 1t is the owners intention to send
this relic of bvgone times to the centen-
NAL at Philadelphia nextycar for exhibi-
ton, provided she can find any one in
the city who is authorised to receive
articles for the great exhibition, which
she has as yet been unable to do. The
article in question is one of the finest
specimens of needle work VIC have ever
seen, and shows accurately every express
sion of Pcnlope's face, her robe en- train,
and her maid holding the arrows which
are to be shot through rings lying at
Pcnelope's feet, by the contestants for
her hand. Those who are versed in Gre
clan history will remember that just as
Penelope had taken Ulysses bow from its
place the latter returned from the siege
of Troy, and the glad smile which illu-
minated Pcnelope's face as shesaw in the
distance her beloved Ulysses, is wildly
represented in the picture. The work
shows the skill and patience our grand
mothers must have had to undertake and
carry out such arduous tasks in needle
work,

= Mr.. Andrew Johnson, Jr., editor Of
the Grccncvillc (Tenn.) intelligence,
denies the story that his father in early
life met with serious disappointment
from unrcquited love. He says that hi,
father fell in love with a young lady of
good family and amable character, who
returned his affections. Her parents,
however objected to the marriage upon
the grounds of Mr.. Johnson's youth ami
lack of means. Upon hearing this he
sought an Interview with the young lady,
told her of the decision of her parents,
and of the course he himselfhad resolved
upon, adding that there was nothing lief
for them but to part and forget what they
had been to each other. The lady frl'
otherwise, and frankly told him that she
would go with him wherever he might
lead, and that she would not hesitate Ia
trust her life and its keeping into his
hands. His pride would not permit this,
and notwithstanding his love, he left the
place, only returning long years after,
when the lady was married and the moth
cr of a family.

something of the subject matter. denies
any knowledge of it. and is very confident
that Mr.. Delano had not resigned prior to

improbable by the fact that Secretary Del
