10 the E0lIOf OF the GlODe.
That was very pretty story you published
Sunday about MARK Twain's Marr;age;' how
he WAS transformed from Bohemian bachelor
to a respectable Benedict; from the San Fran
cisco Gail. There is just enough truth in it to
leaven the lump of fiction, but suppose quite
as much as You usually find in such romantic
yarns. In the first place, the date is wrong.
The Quaker City made her famous voyage in
1867. Next, there was no old gentleman
named Langdon with us on the voyage The
late MIR. Langdon, of Elmira, N. Y, never saw
the Quaker City. He never saw Mark Twain
till after the voyage. His son, Charley Lang
don, not mere boy but grown young man,
was with us on the steamer and made the voy-
age. His sister, Miss Olivia l.. Langdon, did
not accompany US, for the very good reason
that he had sister. His father had an
adopted daughter, and. she being in Bermuda,
came on board the steamer on our return and
was with us for three days until we reached
New York
Simply this, and nothing more. Now see the
absurdity of what follows: ''The old gentle
man fought rather shy ION the steamer) of the
Washoe Bohemisn's society, but the young
Lady looked on him kindly and the light Of her
eyes purified his life.' They both did this at
distance Of from three to six thousand miles.
1t was q case of love at first sight, Probably
a Of second sight. Before the voyage
was over he asked MIR. Langdon for Olivia, and
the refusal be received chilled but did not dis
hearten him. He simply told the somewhat
indignant parent that be could wait, but he was
determined to marry his daughter" Nothing
could better illustrate Mark Twain's determined
character than his avowed purpose to marry
woman he had never met nor heard of.
The only thing that bothers me is how this
correspondence OF conversation was carried on.
Was it by submarine cable OF q premature
telephone?
When all parties finally met at Elmira
there was no fuss and feathers about it, no
tempest in teapot, no opposition, but a quiet,
unromantic, commonplace wedding, just as
when any ordinary man marries any young
lady be happens to take fancy to.
As the "Innocents Abroad has been widely
read in St. Paul, and several copies are in the
library for those who still wish to read them,
thought it would be well TO separate them from
ut least part of the twaddle about Mark
Twain, which, for twelve years past, has been
freely circulated about him.

WAsaISGI0N, Jan. 27.-The case of the Union

in the case of the United States, plaintiff

4 RESCUE
From a Fate Worse Than Death.

At a late hour last night there came to police
headquarters young girl, petite in FORM and
fsshianably attired, giving her name as Minnie
Wheeler, but recently arrived from st. Louis
The story, as related by the girl, is an ex-
tremely sad one, and is q striking commentary
on the social depravity that makes an attempt
on the honor of defenceless woman possible.
A few days since there appeared
in a St. Louis paper an advertise
ment for competent young woman
to act as confidential companion and house.
keeper to middle-aged lady whose permanent
residence was located in this city.
Among other applicants for the position was
Miss Wheeler, whose engaging manners and
previous experience WAS supposed to have been
instrumental in securing the position, the un-
derstanding being that the twain were to leave
st. Louis in order to Immediately take up their
permanent abode at the residence of Mrs. Scott
in this city.
Arrangements were accordingly made for
their Immediate departure, which took place
on last Saturday. The train had proceeded
within short distance of Milwaukee when the
young girl first suspected the real motives of
her designing companion. The peculiar char
acter of the insinuations at first cautiously ad-
vanced, were for a short time regarded as
probable inherent eccentricities, but subse-
qnent developments led the girl to believe that
the true designs of her osvensible employer
were Of the most horrible character.
10 make e long story Short the girl ascer-
tanned that her companion was procuress, her
intention being to introduce the Innocent girl
into one of the dens of prostitution in this CITY,
The idea had sooner dawned upon the girl
than she indignantly Stunned further inter-
course with her companion, her sense of indig-
nation being so thoroughly aroused that scene
transpired which attracted the attention of all
the passengers on the train.
Upon learning the true status of the affair
the indignation IF the passengerswas SO great
that Mrs. Scott reconsidered her intention of
coming to St. Paul, instead Of which she left
the train at Milwaukee, Miss Wheeler came
through to this city, relating her story to the
police authorities last evening as substantially
stated. Aid. Grace chanced to be present ut
the time, and at her own solicitation succeeded
in procuring for the stranger a respectable
boarding house
