The Portland (Me.) correspondent Of
the Boston Herald tells the following
A story has just come to light that reads
like sensation novel. Mr.. John Rod
man, q mechanic, was sufferer by the
great fire of 1866, and moved with his
family to Harlem, N. Y, where he had
a brother residing-a widower with q
small property. Soon after going to
Harlem Mr.. Rodman got chance to go
to Valparaiso. He went, leaving his
wife, son, and daughter with his BROTH
er. At first he sent money home, and
then his letters ceased. Then the broth
er died, and his little property was eaten
up by lawyers in the settlement. The
widow, with her young son and daugh-
ter. returned to Portland and became q
seamstress. The latter part Of 1873 an
English captain took the son, a boy of
fifteen, to sea with him. The vessel
was wrecked in the Gulf, and all were
supposed to be lost. The mother was
taken sick, but physician of this city
took charge Of her and afterwards rem
dered her much aid. A short time ago
Mrs. ROdman saw an advertisement in q
New York paper that if the wife of John
Rodmar, formerly of Portland, would
apply 20 q certain New York firm she
would hear Of something to her advan-
tage. Her doctor advised her to go to
New York, and she went there with her
daughter, interviewed the law firm, dis
covered her husband had failed to hear
from her before she failed to hear from
him; that he had been with Myers, the
great American railroad speculator, and
"made his pile, /" and wanted his fami-
ly, if possible, to join him in New
Orleans, for which place he was about
to sail. The firm had been compelled
to advertise, as the family when they
left Harlem left no traces and no friends.
The mother and daughter left for New
Orleans. They arrived day or two
before the vessel by which Mr.. Rodman
was expected. While out walking the
daughter was insulted by a young dam
dy, who thought the two women were
unprotected. A young sailor lad knock
ed the dandy into the gutter, and as he
turned disclosed the features of the long,
lost son. $ 1t seems when his vessel was
wrecked he was picked up by Nor
wegian vessel and carried to . port in
that country. From thence he went to
Calcutta, thence to Southampton, and
arrived in New Orleans the day before.
A few days afterwards the father ar
rived, and the long-separated family
were reunited and happy. Haz h

OREGON has q new cereal which looks
like wheat, rye and barley, and isn't
either of them; and the g leading agri-
culturists'' of the State are puzzling
themselves about it. Its history is
strange. About four years ago farm
er living in Tilamook County, Oregon,
killed wild goose, in whose crop he
found q peculiar-looking grain. He
planted it; it multiplied wonderfully,
and he subsequently, raised forty bush
els on half an acre of land. Its growth
is peculiar, from seven to ten stalks
springing from one root. The kernel is
very thin and compact, OF a bright straw
color, and extremely hard.

Coming It Over the Old Nan.

Mr.. AbIah Perkins, of Clifton, came
to town last week and called on his
prospective son-in-law, young man
who is desirous of impressing the old
gentleman with belief that he is about
the only righteous Lot remaining in the
Sodom of Chicago. The old gentleman
said that perhaps Chicago water was all
they said it was, and very healthy for
them as was used to it, but for his part
he never found it agreed with him.
Did his prospective sOn-in-law know
where he could get some blackberry
brandy and ginger? The prospective
sOn-in-law sighed, mused q moment,
and replied: There's an awful lot of
saloons in this sinful city, N l 'spose
we can find one il we inquire Of po-
liceman. / never drink myself" he
said, apologetically, "and SO I don't
know where to go.'' Then he led the
old man out, and halting before door,
said: /" 'Sample-Room?' suppose
this is what they cali saloon," and
walked in, followed by his prospective
father-in-law. "What' II you have, gen
tlemenp" said the attentive barkeeper,
as he poured out two glasses Of water.

"No," said Mr.. Perkins; "this yere
water don't agree with me; suthin' in
the tunnel, ! s'pose. Gimme . leetle
brandy.n !" Brandya Here you are!'
said the barkeeper; then, turning to
Mr.. Perkins's prospective son-in-law,
he set out small flask from the shell
behind and shook some sirup and bit
ters into a tumbler, and remarked
"Same as usual, umq'' The old man
regarded his prospective son-in-law
over the top Of his glasses, but the
prospective son-in-law had had time tc
wink at the barkeeper, who, with grea,
presence of mind, apologized for mis-,
taking him for somebody else, and
served him, by request, with . bottle d
pop on Chicago Tribune.

A LIFE'S REGRET.

lam the youngest of three sisters
Margaret, Louisa, and Helen, the last
named being of course myself. We re-
side in small villa on the outskirts of
he town Of Norton Folgate, and from
y appearances are likely to remain for
tas rest Of our lives pursuing what
sFsngers would suppose the calm and
sVen tenor Of q colorless existence.
Our income, though small, admits of
our keeping two domestics; and when
mpsy visits, which at rare intervals
Mdo, to some Of the country families,

sala with something like dignity. Not
nat my two elder sisters are lacking in
that respect, for they never, either sleep
ngor waking, l believe, forget that
our late father was descended from an
anclent and honorable family, and that
ne name OF Howard, which we bear, is
oenved from q source which, even
mo0gh it does not acknowledge US, is
oars Justly, and on the tree which tes-
laes 70 our pedigree our relationship is
