HER LOVER ON THE JEANETTE.
A story Connected With the steamer
Now Abandoned i'm Arctic Ice.

From the Los Angeles Times.
For more than eighteen months past beau
tiful and accomplished young lady Of this city
lovely and romance-inspiring footstoOl of the
angels-has been In a constant state Of hope
and despair. The news received from the wan
derlng Jeanette has sent gladness and sorrow
to many breast. but to the young lady in cues
ton 1t has created the most anxious fears. 1t
seems that Miss - was visiting friends in
San Francisco during the winter of 1S7S-'T9
She met Lieut.. Danenhower of the u s. navy
noble specimen of manhood. The lieutenant
was smtten with the fair daughter of Los
Angeles, Cal. They met often. and the sequel
was soon evident in desperate love affair." But
the old, old saying, that true love never ran
smooth was never more plainly illustrated than
in this case. For several months there was not
happier pair in all San Francisco.
This earthly bliss could not last long how
ever. The lieutenant was under orders to sail
with the Inflated Jeanette. AS the time drew
near the sweet girl became sad and pensive, and
it was common thing for her to meet her lover
with fearful eyes. She told him her fears. and
pleaded with all the elOquence only known to a
lovely maiden but her lover had been ordered
by his country to 90 to almost certain death and
his honor would not permit him to break his
word, even for the being he wOrshped The
sad dav OF separation finally arrived and the two
devoted lovers parted, possibly never to meet
again in this world. This is the sad story told
tale with tears in his eyes.
Yes, sir" said the Old fellow, "she has been
different girl ever since. They had only known
one another short time, but don't believe two
people ever loved as did this devoted couple.
Why, sir, her mother said that when the lieu
tenant came to bid her goodbye 1t took two of
his brother officers to separate them when the
moment OF parting came. She tainted almost
as soon as he was out of the house., When she
revived she ordered a carriage and Immediately
repaired to the Cliff House. AS soon as she ar
rived there she took stand where she could get
good view of the Golden Gate. Neither COM
mands nor coaxing could move her until she was
satisfied the vessel had passed out to sea. After
returning to Los Angeles she led retired life,
having been convinced from the first that she
would never see her lover again. She has never
failed to be up. by daylight since the Jeanette
sailed IN order to read the telegraphc news
That, sir, has been the only thing that has ever
interested her. When she got the Times this
morning and got the news from the Jeanette

From the Louisville Courier Journal. December "a

From the LOUISVILLE Courier Journal. December a.
When Ben Wood, Of New York, with the
numbers L11-44, struck 800, 600 in lottery,
he set the lottery players wild over the lucky
combination, and those numbers have ever since
been the craze in lottery circles. Almost every
negro can tell you the date on which those num-
bers have appeared since the great .'strike, and
when they do appear they cause big sensation
among lottery players. They are the fayorte
combination, and not day passes when there is
drawing but what this combination has q big
run. In July last these numbers came out. Civ
ing increased confidence in their virtue as lucky
numerieals, and since then they have been playeil
heavily. In yesterday mornings drawing they
again made their appearance, and In consequence
this will be notable Christmas among the ne
groes- The lottery company were caught In
this city for the amount of $1,000, and the lucky
tickets were held mostly by negroes. Mr.. w.
Scott Giore says the winnings In New York on
these numbers must be much larger than the
amount won here, a. they are played there to .
much heavier extent.

A Case of Spontaneous Combu.tion


A Case of Spontaneous Combustion.
From the N Y. Tribune.
THAT" said the occupant ofan uptown studio
pointing to blackened. charred hole in his old
fashioned sofa, ''that'-'.is the result of a
cigar stub, interrupted friend.
"NO, SIR" replied the artist with dignity.
'That is a case of simon pure spontaneous com
bustion."
While the artist was taking breath his visitors
examined the hole. 1t was evidently serious
case VI burning. On one arm nearly circular
spot five or six inches in diameter had been
eaten through. The fire had burned through
the outside cloth covering. through half an inch
of cured hair, and through perhaps an inch or
an inch and a half of solid wood An intense
heat had evidently been applied in this particu-
lar spot, evidently by means of some substance
that would retain heat and fire long enough to
burn through the wood. This was the story that
the artist told Of genuine case Of spontaneous
combustion.
''The other afternoon I was engaged in stain
ing the wainscOtting of my studio took a
piece OF cotton cloth to wipe the woodwork
with, but as 1t was growing dark / used the
cloth very little, not enough to soil it past using
again. The preparation had been using was a
mixture of Prussian blue and black, boiled oil
and turpentine. / thought / would use the
cloth, which was only slightly stained with this
preparation, again next day. So rolled it up
in piece OF burlap and left it on the arm of the
sofa. Then | went out to dinner, and as the
studio wasn't quite ready for occupancy didn't
come back here until the next morning When I
entered l noticed no especial smell of smoke.
but OH going to get my piece of cloth found it
mass of charred finder. A hole was burned
through the burlap in whichit had been wrapped
and the arm Of the sofa was burned through as
you see. Therefore call this an undoubted
| case of spontaneous combustion This had hap
pened at night, and the sun could in no case
| have reached the cloth. There had been no fire
| in the studio, no matches, no mice nor ANYTHING
that know of to cause the fire except this bit
OF cloth with its stains of Prussian blue and
black, boiled oil and turpentine"

Bisnlarck'S INDIGESTION.

from the London spectator.
Prince Bismarck, for once in his life, is EVIL
IDENTIFY undecided. His inclination is evidently
for another dissolution, preceded by a direct
appeal from the Emperor to his people: and he
has, with this view. ordered the imperial message
to be placarded on every church door in Germany.
But he knows that the Emperor, who chose
him, is far too i'll for new conflict; he distrusts
the Crown Prince, though hereafter he NAV
come to terms with him, and he dislikes the
only alternative open road-reconciliation with
the ultramontanes He has, therefore. after
Cromwelrs fashion, been attending the meetings
Of Parliament and making moody, self
appiausiye speeches, announcing concessions
to Rome, and declaring that there shall
be concessions to nobody. The scene ia
very curious and not without a pathoa
of its OVID; but the outcome of 1t seems to be
that the chancellor waits, as near indecision as
he ever was in his life. Nothing is going for
ward In Germany, the facts as to the Emperor's
health are carefully concealed, there are whis
pers of regency. and the only thing certain is
that long conferences of an hour and an hour
and q half take place between the Crown Prince
and the chancellor, who. on his side. finds com
fort In telling Parliament openly that the Crown
Prince can change nothing in the policy of the
empire, and that, "For me, am not in yonr

proposition, refusing for example. to Establish

East Hanover Presbytery.
Dissolution OF PASTORAL RE1AT1o,

DISSOLUTION OF PASTORAL RELATION.
This body assembled in the Second Presby
terian church of this city, August 31st, In pro-
re-ndtG session to consider an application of the
Rev. 1. u; WithersPoon, D. D., of Petersburg,
for dissolution of the pastoral relation between
himself and the Tabb Street church, Petersburg,
with a view to his accepting a call to the First
Presbyterian church of Louisville, Ky.
The Rev. R. r. Howl ison, the last Moderator
present, presided.
The call from the Louisville church and let
ters from the commissioners of that church were
read. DR.. Witherspoon stated the reasons
that lmpelled him to ask this action on
the part of the Presby ytery-namely, duty to the
Church In accepting what seemed to be a call of
Providence to field of enlarged usefulness and
influence in large and growing city, and duty
to himself in making a change that would for
time give HIM partial relief from too great
mental labor.
Z. ). Seabury, Esq, cor missioner of Tabb-
Street church, read the action of that con ngrega-
ton, expressing their high esteem for their pas.
tor, their great sorrow at being called to part
with him. but at the same time their concurrence
IN his application in view of what seemed to
them the leadings of Providence.
The following paper. offered by the Rev. w.
a. Campbell, was unanimously adopted
The Presbytery having considered DR.. With
erspoons application for dissolution of his
pastoral relation with the Tabb Street church,
ana a ulsmlSslon 10 the FresbYtery OF Louisville,
with view to his becoming pastor OF the First
church of Louisville, and having heard all the
parties, believe that the interests of the cause of
Christ and Dr. Witherspoons usefulness Will be
furthered by his removal to the large field of
labor which in the providence of God is opened
for him in Louisville, and therefore grant his
request. In taking this action the Presbytery
desires to express its sympathy with the congre-
cation thus deprived of the services of an able
and attractive preacher, faithful defender of
the truth, devoted and diligent pastor, whose
gentleness affection, and sympathy have attached
them to him by the strongest and most sacred ties,
and whose labors have so signally conduced to
the comfort and spiritual good of that congrega-
ton and to record our deep sorrow in being
called to part with wise counsellor a Jealous
self denying co laborer a brother beloved
whose intercourse with us has been so universal
ly delightful to us all that it will be recalled
mingled with no regret save that it is discon-
tinued. The Presbytery also heartily com
mends DR.. Witherspoon to the confidence and
Christian fellowship of those with whom he is
now called to labor
Several members of the Presbytery stated
with feeling, and all concurred with them, that
there was no member of the Presbytery with
whom they would part more reluctantly than
with DR.. Witherspoon.
