A ResOIute Bride.

A New York letter says: One year ago a youth of l9, named Archibald Stet- Ter, met in this city and.fell in love with Emma Gerard, pretty and b-igh. miss of l7. who lived in Lowell, Mass When the girl returned home from her visit, a correspondence began, aud finally at tLe earnest solicitation Of Stetler she came back and was married tO him by he Rev. Robert COllyer. Meanwhile, as 1t appears, the bridegroom had given up his position here, and after a brief hotel honeymoon he told his bride that he was going to Scranton, Pa, to prepare a home for her, and would speedily return. Hearing nothing from him and finding her money nearly exhausted, the girl wife went to Scranton and hunted him up. He quletrd her suspicIons with plausible excuses and m a day or two told her that it would be necessary for them to eo to New York again for a short time. They took the train, and just as 1t started he jumped off, Mrs Stetlerlgot ont at the first stopping place and found her husband at hls fathers house at Scranton. When the father heard her story he told her that her position in society was too low to allow her to be the wife of his son, but if he found on inquiry that her reputa- ton and character were satisfactory, he would sanction the marriage. A the same time he persuaded her to return to Lowell promising to send for her in short time. He failed to keep bis word and plucky Mrs. Stetler went 10 Scran- ton again few days ago. Her husband refused to receive or provide for her and sbe has had him arrested for desertlon. Master Stetler made quite a mistake when ne fancied he could voo, win, and cast off at pleasure.

In the latter part of last week, Rosie Larkin, the daughter of a plumber re- siding at No. I9O5 Nicholas street, disap- peared from home. As she bad been carryrng on very actiTe correspond ence with young commercial traveller of Baltimore, named Joseph Hamilton, her parents jumped to the conclusion that the damsel had gone to join her lover. Word was flashed to the police of Baltimore and Washington by Mrs. LarkIn to take her daughter into cus- tody f she were found ID either city, and await further orders. A Washington detective made tour of the capital, dIs- covered her in seclusiOn in quiet part of the town, and communicated the frc' to her parents. Mrs. Larkin resp u1,d by requesting the deteclIye iu send tue glrl on by the next tram, and iurnish' q the money to pay her ear .ere. When the detective repaired tu the place where the truant had been stopping. he was surprised Co learn that yOuug Hamilton and his sweetheart had OutvlE.Cd hlm, and had gone away to arrange for the nuptials.
 At an early hour in the morning they had gone to the courthouse and patient ly waited for the opening ot the clerks office, at which time they secured a mar riage license, and then started out in search of minister.

He accepted the in vItation, and on reaching headquarters introduced them to the chief, who wish ed the pair much joy us man and wife. Then they departed for Baltimore Phila. Record.

MRS. sTOWE,S GREAT BOOK.
How Uncle Toms Cabin Game to Be
 Published.
Nnu York pnst.


 John T. Jewett, of this city, the orig inal publisher of "Uncle Toms Cabin, in a recent interview with correspOnd- ent of the Chicago 1ater-Ocean was asked:
 How did you come to be publisher of Uncle Toms CablnF
 "I suspect" he replied, ''it was princi- pally because l was a rabid anti-slsvery man, although the fact that l had pre- vioEsly been the publisher of book by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher may have had something to do with it. After a careful examination, l concluded that the story would not Only repay the cost of publication in book form, but would yield some profit. Possibly I was helped to that conclusion by my firm conviction that the volume would prove a strong anti-slavery document. At all events l expressed willingness to pub fish It, and the next thing was to arrange the terms. Professor Stowe was in favor of selling the manuscript for a sum down. T tell wife, sad he to me, that if she can get good black silk dress. or $50 in money for the story, she had bet ter take it."
 Do you believe that you could have bought the story for S5OY
 So large were the orders for the book that from the day I first began to print 1t the eight presses never stopped, day or night, save Sundays, for SIX months and even then there were complaints that the volumes did not appear fast enough. In d little while I was able to inform Professor and Mrs. Stowe that their percentage already amounted to Sl0,OO0, and although my contract with them required me to give a note only, l would pay that sum in cash"
 How did they receive your infOr- mation?"
 "They seemed a little dazed by the news. The sum was so vastly beyond anything they expected or had hereto fore possessed that 1t appeared to them like a great fortune. When they called at my office 1 handed Professor Stowe my check fer Sl0,000, payable to his order. Neither the Professor nor Mrs. Stowe had ever before received q check, they told me, and they did not know what to do with 1t or how to get the money 1t represented. l explained to the Professor that he must indorse the check and present it for payment. l advised hlm to deposit the money in the money in the same bank. We went thither together. introduced him to President, and the Professor opened gu account. After instructing him how to keep his check hook and SO on, and cau'ioning him and his wife never to go about with more than $5 in their pockets, 1 bade them good day, and they went their way rejoicing. When l gave them a second check for S10,0OO0 I found they needed no further instrHc- tons"
 "How many copies O. Uncle Tom did you publish?"
 "More than 320,000sets of two volumes each were published ID the first year. After that the demand fell of"

Ostracised Mrs. Langtry.

Whatever credence individuals may generously accord to the protestatlous of Mrs. LRngtry, says the St. Louis GlObe-DemOcrHt, the fiat has gone forth that socially she must suffer. There IS disregard for appearances which is an insult to public sentiment aLd criminal in itself. Mrs. Langtry has given cause for resentment, if nothing else. There IS a sense of satisfaction in seeing this woman sent back to Europe bearing the unmistakable marks of social castiga- tiOn. IL Is a sign that m spite of all that can be said agalnst our arIstOcracy It IS characterized by higher principle than that the old world can boast of. The general charge may lie against this spe- cIes of ostracism that It IS uncharItable and unchristian, and shuts the door against the merely indiscreet and the truly penitent, but thls at least cannot apply to cases where there is no indica- tion of improvement. The gifted wO- man whose reputation IS smirched, and who still has high aspirations, truly had a hard lot with us, but 1t surely IS not charity that makes her path easier in Europe. WOman's life with us is all the broader and larger for the strict account ability to which she is held. It is as sumed that if married she does not want to conduct herself in a manner which 8 sensible husband would disapprove or, and if unmarried that she need not toe constantly watched, but that within cer- tam limits she may be placed upon her own sense of honor and responsibility an experience which strengthens her character and makes her the stronger woman.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Old Nick,S Sister

The Chico Record has the following in regard to little girl who was desert ed by her mother at Reno, and who was adopted by Mr. Kingsbury, of Susan vile: "Mrs. Ed. KIngsbury, of Susan vile, the sie-devil who recently gained much notOriety Tn that region for her cruel treatment of little girl who had been making her home with her, has fled with her husband to Arizona. She feared that a blll would be found against ter by the Grand Jury, and there were also threats against her life by the indignant citizens. The woman IS described as being tall, raw-boned creature with long nose. Her mouth Is almOs, toOthless, and she looks for all the worH like old Nick's sister. Her husband gave the ili-treated little girl Sl ,OOO tefore gong away" The Quincy National, in speaking of the affair. says: "This poor little girl-fOr she IS very small and slender for her age-hRs been taken to the upper portion of the house, for soms tritiing offense, and there strip ped nated, hung up by her thumbs and 'blackslgked' until her body IS one mass of scars which she will carry to the grave-indelible proof of this she-tiend's cruelty. She has been knocked sense less and beaten until consciousness re- turned lamed and dIsfgured, and sui fering all this without daring to com plain, for fear of her life being taken by the female monster. To the credit of MT. Kingsbury, be it said, that these cruelties were perpetrated when he was away from the house, and especial care taken keep him from knowing of them"
