A HUMID ELOPENdENT.

T Anew Jersey paper tells the fol-
lowing story Of Paradise lost, as q
warning to obstreperous lovers: just
west OF the Paterson plank-road, near
Hoboken, n. j., resides William
Fulchler, a well-to-do florist, who has
two daughters. One, Amanda, about
20, has fora long time sold flowers
and bouquets on Broadway. She
was rather pretty. She met Philip
Gushing, who resides in Hoboken, and
does baslne = il the. jersey Abattoir,
and they agreedlto getsmarried; but
old Mr.. Fulchler had no idea of los
ing his daughter, as upon her depend
Cd the greater portion Of his income,
her sales amounting to twice as much
as that of. her sister and brother, who
also sold flowers. Finally, Amanda
told her parents that, unless they
gave their consent, she would run
away. This 50 enraged the old gem
tleman that he locked her up for two
days. Finally he got her to give
her consent to abandon her project.
Things ran along very we'll for a
week, when yesterday morning Aman-
da stole out of the house at daybreak
with all the clothes she could carry,
and started down the hill toward the
Elysian Fields. 1t seems that there.
she was to be joined by Gushing, who
was to have aboat ready at the
Elysian Fields dock to convey her
across to New York. This was done
to avoid the recognition which might
come in crossing the ferry, as she was
we'll known. Mr.. Fulchler, on get
ting up a few seconds after his daugh-
ter had left, missed her, and, seeing
all her clothes gone, at once started
in pursu He learned by a friend
that the girl was seen going down the
hill. He succeeded in tracing her to
the dock, and was within q few feet
of Amanda, when she saw him COM
ing. Gushing, her lover, was in
the boat, and had just got all her
clothes safely stored away, when she
cried out, "Here comes father"
Amanda, seeing that she was Ger
tain to be captured, made q leap for
the boat, but unfortunately she miss
ed her calculation and fell into the
water.
Then came scene that was indeed
most amusing. Amanda being a
short, "chunky" little piece, she
floundered about the boat like a tur-
tie, poor Cushing trying all he could
to draw her up into the boat, but to
no purpose. She would get one foot
in, when the boat would tip and out
she would 60 again. At last Cush-
ing made a desperate effort, and the
result was that he, too, took watery
bath.
In the meantime the father kept
calling for help, when a moving hulk
came and helped to rescue the unfor-
tunate couple. Amanda, to her great
modification, was wet, while poor
Gushing sat on his little craft, not
daring to venture ashore for fear that
old Fulchler would carry out his
threats Of putting bullet through
! him

CURRENT TOPICS AT THE CAPITAL.
WASHING" POSTAGE STAMPS.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.

WASHINGTON, Oct 80. 1873.
In a paragraph of the Report of the Third
Assistant PostmasterGenera for 1874, aluson was
made the immense loss to tho Department by tho
washing" Of postage stamps. IL was estimated that
nearly 81 100000 year lost to the Government
about one-h OF the total receipts from the sale Of
stamps. The fact published In the principal news-
papers OF the country and ultimately found its way
probably every village in the land. The effect OF such
widespread publication has been TO stimulate in
diyidual effort 10 destroy the evil, and the De-
partment has consequently been flooded with prop
ositons TO that end Many Of these schemes
absurd large number offering better claims TO atten
ton have vet some Objectionable feature which
would render their adoption mpracticabe. while others
elaborate or expensive that their purchase and
in the 5000 PostOlces of the country would
cessitate a greater expenditure OF money than tho
amount OF loss they intended to prevent. Among
the most plausible projects presented the employ
fugitive cOors in the printing of postage stamps,
