a girl thrown upon the world from baby
hood. without lawful parents growing up
a concert singer in the great city of Lon
don. and winning the highest triumphs
in her profession. In the midst Of her
career she is met and loved by a young
man of noble heart, good family, and
comfortable fortune The girls name is
Rosamund, and that of her lover Ned
Annesley Ned is the adopted son Of one
Brabazon. an aristocratic, elderly gentle
man, who in his younger years, has
made a conquest of a beautiful girl,
Helen Gray, by name, whose inferior
social position forbade the idea OF mar
riage, and several months after their
separation the child Rosamund was born.
Brabazon never learned of the existence
of this child, and the mother pursued the
downward course. When Brabazon is in
formed OF Neds engagement he finds that
the girls birth is enveloped in mystery,
and he forbds the marriage. This Is
the foundation OF the thrilling situation
and fiery dialogues that follow. Ned re-
mains true to Rosamund and is cast off
by Brabazon. The girl appeals TO the
old man in behalf OF her lover and her
self and she is iepulsed. She attacks the
masculine sex for its treatment Of woman
kind. and Brabazon. remembering his
own guilty past. undertakes to excuse
men of his own kind. The controversy
grows in interest anT intensity, and tho
final scene between them is almost tragic

A LETTER FROM FLORIDA.
Effects OF the Great storm. and Why
the Vote Was Light.

A gentleman. now in the city, received
a letter from his brother yesterday, dated
at Alachua. Fla, from which he has
kindly allowed us TO make the following
extract:
II do not think any account published in
the newspapers about the great storm can
possibly be exaggerated. In fact, 1t is far
worse than anything have seen in them,
either as regards loss Of life or destruc-
ton of property. Jim and l went TO
Jonesville to vote and not once could we
travel the road 1--WE were on horseback)
for the trees piled log on log. No interest
was taken in the election and very few
votes were polled up to the time We
stayed there. But terrible as the hurri-
cane was here. and IL is something l can't
describe, il was but nothing in conpari-
son to the blow from Newberry 10 tho
Gulf. In that section everything was
swept away; every building in Newberry
was either blown down or greatly dam
aged. Charley lost his kitchen and HIS
house otherwise injured. but most .fortu-
nately, no lives were lost. He saw q.
freight car pass his house at twenty
miles an hour. driven by the storm, and
