a Rit of Romance.

On the 9th of last February Mr.. Edwin
Rowe of New York, elopea with the wife OF
wealthy merchant named Furgerson. The wo-
man is about 25 years of age and of very pre-
possessing appearance. She had child four
years of age. which she took with her. Her
husband was greatly distracted by the loss OF
his wife and child. On the 29th of March
Young man named James Dunno was en-
ployed on the case Mr.. Furgerson instructed
him to spare neither money or time, hut If
possible to find the woman and child. The de-
tective first traced the parties to Philadelphia,
where they stopped for some time, but he did
not find where they stopped until after they
had left the city. After dilligent search he
discovered that they had gone to Boston. He
traced them all over the New England States
and through New York State. He soon dis
covered that they had gone to Canada. They
were in Montreal some time, but changed their
hotel so often that it was impossible to catch
them. Yesterday noon the detective came to
this city and at once called upon Marshal
Parker and told him that he had every reason
to believe that the man and woman were in
this citv. The Marshal and the detective at
once visited tn6 L diIIOutu hOVOis " nUoA 'A~
date of Tuesday, the Goth inst, they found the
names of ed Lewis and "Mrs. L. A. Lewis,
Baltimore" They were assigned to rooms No.
46 and 81 respectively. The detective at once
recognized the handwriting as that of Rowe.
On enquiry it was learned that Mr.. Lewis had
left. but would return in a few days. The Off
GERS then proceeded to call upon Mrs. Lews,at
room No. 81. She was cool and reserved, and
asked the business Of the callers. The detec-
tive at once explained his business, and she
confessed that she was the Mrs. Furgerson be
was in search of. The child was with her, and
the detective at once took them in charge. Ii
is thought that it was the intention OF Mr.
Rowe to return this morning and sail in the
Sarmatian this evening, but the plans have
been changed, and this morning the detective
will take the woman and child to New York,
going over the Portland g Rochester railroad
1t is said that Mr.. Furgersou has nearly lost
his mind and has entirely given up business.
He recently telegraphed to the detective that
he would give him his whole fortune If he
would return his child alive; such is his affeo-
ton for the child.
The detective has displayed wonderful skill
in the working up of this case, and will doubt
less receive handsome reward for his services

In different places where we call,
"Alps quiet in the marts of trade,
And has been ever since last fall.
One ''cause" why trade is not depressed
Is, business has been ''overdone,'
That's why so many are distressed,

In Memoriam.

DIED, at Laytonsville, Montgomery county
on December 9th, l875&LIZZiE q MORLEY
wife Of George W Motley.
An ancient historian tells OF a tribuna
amongst the Egyptians where both princes anc
common men were tried after their deaths
and received appropriate honor or disgrace
The sentence was pronounced too late TO cor
rect or recompense; but it was pronounced in
lime TO render examples of general instruction
to mankind. Such a tribunal, If constituted
at the present day, with the higher standard
only award praise 10 the character of the lady
whose decease is announced above.
Whether we note her home lite, her inter-
course with her neighbors, or her relation TO
the church Of God, we find occasion for APP
proving words. AT home she was ever a
courteous Christian lady. Her tasteful resi-
dence was made bright and sunny by her
cheerful smiles, her gay sallies, her sweet tenn
per- her aniability and afectionate DISPOSE
ton She was a true and devoted wife, an
invaluable possession to her husband. She
endeared herself TO every inmate Of her house,
so that, down TO the servants, all mourned
deeply over her death. The light Of the
dwelling is extnguished and the place is dark
and gloomy.
Her life was not free from affection. One
after another she laid her children in the
grave till all FIVE were gone and she was left

Public Schools and Education.

For the benefit Of u S. Grant, L. L. D., in
reference to that part Of his message advising
a constitutional amendment relative to public
schools, we would advise for his careful peru
sal the law of Maryland, passed in 1868, Chap.
40T, which expresses the Democratic view on
this subject, except the provision is, perhaps,
a liltle broader than he would like. Sub.
Chap. 9, Sec. !, reads rs follows: ''School
& books shall contain nothing Of sectarian
q or partisan character
The recommendation of Ulysses on this sub
ject looks as if he was trying to steal the
Democratic tAnnder OF old Maryland. There
is this difference While his advice is very
pointed to eschew sectarianism in religion,
either Intentionally or accidentally, he omits
partisanship in politics.
We would advise our President to issue a
supplemental message on this subject, and rec
ommend book on Morals and Political
Economy" written by Avery, &c, with j. B
Henderson's commentaries, TO be used in tn,
public schools.

FAILURE OF PRoHBITIoN IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Prohibition in New Bedford seems to have
been consigned to a place among relics of past
customs and beliefs. For years it fourished
there, and the citizens supported it with more
unquesIioning confidence than il was support
ed in any other municipality in the Common
wealth. But AT last the suggestion that there
might be better way to qualify the vice CT
iniemperance took root among the voters of
that city, and last year they followed the re-
action in public sentiment and defeated the
prohibiory ticket for the leading places in
the city government. The experiment evil
IDENTIFY worked to the satisfaction Of all con-
cerued, for Tuesdays vote was the largest ev-
er thrown in New Bedford and the result has
been TO re-eect Mayor Rowland, the citizen S
candidate, by large majority. The temper
ance issue, so-called, appeared to be distinctly
made, but it has lost lis power. The people
have tried license for year, and, though the
form through which the system works doubt
less needs pcreciing. it is an acknowledged
Improvement upon the old plan, even as it
stands. Reforms ALWAYS come in slowly, but
the people seem inclined to stick TO that which
they have begun in liquor legislation Dos

CUBA AND THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. The
Voz de Cuba, commenting on that part Of the
Presidents message which relates to Cuba,
says General Grants language seems to have
been chosen to wound the susceptiblities of
The Spaniards. He seems TO like playing with
fire. He does not know the temperament of
the Spaniards any more than Napoleon did.
The Diario censures the tone of the message,
which was published while negotiations were
pending between the United States and Spain.
1t praises family the Presidents refusal to
acknowledge the Cuban insurgents as belig-
erents, and says that the part of the message
relating to Spain is siudionsly obscure. Final
ly, the Diaro, at the conclusion of two columns
and half of criticism, SAYS: eve believe Gen
eral Grant has disguised the insurgents and
has wounded Spanish pride in his unfounded
assertions. His entire message is contrary to
the Spirit Of the American people, who emf
nently desire peace, and has sal isfed no one"

HONEST TALK The Richmond (Va.) Wing,
under its new management, promises to exer-
else its influence in favor of the payment by
Virginia of its just obligations, II says, with
force:
at is a truth, the maxms of some class Of
politicians TO the contrary notwithstanding,
that the public honor is but the aggregate of
private virtue and right. not policy, as a
principle, should govern the State. If it be
right that individuals in . manly manner
should meet their personal responsibilities, who
can dispute but that it is also right that the
State should respect its obligations and faith
fully do all in lis power-a due regard being
paid TO the condition of the people--to dis
charge them The means of doing so may be
the expedien,s of the hour, but if the end be
kept faithfully in view, that fact of itself will
tend in a large measure towards its accom-
plishment."
