His Dad Brothers. Wife.

An exceedingly sad and romantic story
of misplaced love has been discovered
| by the visit TO Flushing of young man
from England in search of his sister.
Four years ago resident of White
in that quarter a young lady and lovely
bride. He was a tradesman of consider
able means, and no match could have
been happier His bride was girl of
bewitching beauty, tender affection, and
amiablc disposition. But this bride had
not been willingly won. AT one time
during their courtship he thought he
possessed her heart, but after their en-
gagement she met the youthful scion OF
a noble house. The youthful Lord, for
he was an Earl's hopeful, was beautiful.
His family expected his pretty face and
curly hair and white hands and aristo-
cratic swagger TO bring back by mar
riage what they had lost by several gen.
erations of extravaganza.
How pretty Jessie Hart met the young
Lord does not appear, but when they
did Jessie thought she would be a grand
lady. After little love making. how
ever, they had a bitter quarrel, and
Jessie returned TO her old love again.
He had been constant. Burning with
rage she became William Miller's wife.
Soon the Tilted sutton told Jessie that he
really meant to have married her and
that he loved her still. Jessie finally
consented to elope with him to America.
Less than year ago little quiet and
sad-faced woman came here and engag-
ed rooms in crowded house in Madison
street. She showed traces of great
beauty in early days. Her name was
Mrs. Jessie Miller. Though she paid
her rental regularly she seemed to be
in want and burdened with sorrow.
The mystery of her life she never told.
Two months ago she disappeared as
suddenly as she came, but the visit OF
Mr.. John Miller revealed the story. He
is William Miller's brother, and is the
agent of the British Cattle Importing
Company. He came to New York TO
purchase cattle and TO effect the sale OF
a horse called Prince Charlie. BY some
means he heard that a lady of the de-
scription of his brothers wife lived in
this village, and he came to take her
back to the old home. 1t was reported
last night that he found her living in

New Pastimes for Ladies.
A Gotham scribe to the Syracuse
Journal writes: Frogs have long been
considered delicacy with gourmands,
but it is new for ladies to think it a
sport and romance to catch them, or
better, perhaps, to spear them. The
poverty of amusements in several vii
lagos near the city, made a resort dur
ing the summer, suggested to some en-
terprising woman the idea of going out
in the evening with her jack lanterns
tied with ribbons. 1t is said that at
first the ladies could not keep from
screaming when they saw the big frogs
on the logs, or in the bullrushes, and
would throw down their implements of
torture and run some distance, but af-
ter second sober thought 90 black to
face the enemy under the instruction
of native frog-huntcr. The popular
style of 'frogging,' however, has been
TO 90 in boat with jacklights in the
bow. The frogs, attracted by the
lights, come from their hiding places,
give croak, and all is over, as rib
boned spear dispatches them. Some
times the ladies fish for frogs, using
hook baitcd with red flannel, and say
that a wcll-mannered frog cannot resist
the temptation of swapping at this
much-esteemed color. 1t is predicted
that another season 'frogging' will be
immensely popular at the inland water
ing places. The mania for water tur-
ties with the fair sex is another novel
caprice. The smaller the turtles the
more they are priced, and are deemed
sufficiently pretty to be carried about
in ornamental silk bags on the arms of
the owners. A young girl returning
from Richfield Springs had dozen or
more diminutive turtles in a box which
she played with, pulling their tails and
legs, and throwing them about as she
emptied them on the table, where they
scampered industriously to her infinite
amusement and Measure ~
