Also the Last Act of the Captain.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Vevay, Ind, Feb. l2.-Falling to pieces
in the river, where it has been moored for
the last twenty years, is the old steamer
called the Timothy Leghoru in its day,
although for the time it has been out of
service, lain here, rottiug and swaying to
the current, avoided by every bargeman
and 'longshoreman, it has been known
as ony the haunted old hulk" At
tachcd to this old wreck is a tragic,
though incomplete, story, which was
whispered about among the river men
when it was first set afiOat on the current
of they say"
In the los the Timothy Leghorn was
run by man named Capt. Van Hessel, a
grim, rough character, very unpopular
among the men of his calling, though con
coded to understand the river better than
the ma Jority of the captains punning on it.
To the SUR rise of an who knew him, this
man Went away for some days on one oc-
casiOn, though whore no one knows, and
when he returned there was with him a
woman whom he introduced as his wife.
She was a young woman of 10 or even
younger. and extremely talkative and
lively, but IL was predicted that her
spirits would not be long in breaking with
Capt. Van Hessel as her sole associate.

and chatter away with such of the river
men as were not too much in dread of
Van HCssel TO provoke his displeasure by
noticing his wife. II was observed, how
ever, that the captain grew more and
more taciturn and surly. and was even
seen to threaten his wife several times
with his fist when she would approach
him to serve him with his pipe or such
other attentions.
What took place between them. or on
what terms they lived none could say
with any degree OF accuracy, for what
ever abuse the woman received from her
husband, she continued TO carry it on
with a jaunty air. Az last talk began TO
arise as to the conduct of Mrs. Van Hes
sci and a deck hand known as Gentle
man rank. from the idea that he had
been something better than the calling in
which he was now engaged, and from the
, fact that he was possessed Of good edu-
cation, or what was called such by the
men with whom he was thrown. That
there was anything really wrong between
this man and Mrs. Van Hessel no one
knew, but he showed her various polite

class 10 their wives, and he showed that
she was grateful by looking after his
comfort as she alwas appeared TO do after

New York, March 10.-The Easter

throng, we were satisfied. But, alack and

heavily upon us these early Spring DAYS.
We dare not turn our eyes utterly from

that extravaganza be curtailed, and more
sensible modes adopted

American girl-her daring and richness in

them. Nothing serious was thought of
the matter until Saturday evening, when
people were startled by seeing three
