Among the hands on board was one named Tu? dor, a steady) well-looking young man, who acted as a sailor. Very early one morning a young, beautiful young woman beautiful and decently dressed woman came tripping down to the vessel and in? quired of Tudor for tbe captain. She was told he was not risen, but she Insisted in seeing him without delay. Tudor called him up, and she addressed him with: "Good morning, captain 1 I have call? ed to see if you will marry me 1" "Marry yon ?"?believi?g her to be a suspicious character?"leave my vessel instantly, if yon koow what is your good 1" She next went to tbe mate and received a similar answer; she then went to where Tudor was, being engaged In handling Bbiptacks, and put tbe Bame question to him. "With all my heart," answered Tudor, in a jocular manner. "Then," said she, "come aloDg with me." To dor left bis work and followed her. By the time the principal Bhops were open? ed the lady entered a barber's shop fol? lowed by Tndor. She ordered a knight of tbe rasor to clip bis beard and bair, both of which he stood in need. She paid the bills and entered a hat store. She requested tbe best of beavers in the store, and then told Tudor to select one and be did so the price being paid by tbe lady. Tudor threw his old tarpaulin aside. They next visited tbe shoe store and selected a pair of boots, tbe lady also paying for them. Tudor, by this time, was puzzled to devise the object tbe lady had in view. He solicited an explana? tion, but she told him to be silent. She led the way into a clothing store. Here Tudor was told to get tbe best suit in tbe store. The man of tar bedaubed pants and checkered shirt was in a few minutes metamorphosed into as. fine a gentleman as walks tbe streets, the bill, as before, being paid by the lady. Tu dor's amazement was now complete. He ?again and again earnestly insisted on an explanation; the only answer be receiv? ed was: "Follow me and be not afraid; all will be explained to your satisfaction." He resolved, therefore, to ask bo more questions. Next she conducted bim into a magistrate's office and politely request ed tbe minister of the law to unite her and her companion in matrimony. This was rather a damper to Tudor, but he yielded.' Tbe ceremony over, the couple were pronounced man and wife. With? out uttering a word or exchanging a kiss, Tudor and his wife left tbe office, not, however, until she had paid the magis? trate his iee. Tbe couple walked in si? lence, Tudor hardly knowing what he was doing or had done. Turning tbe corner, he saw a splendid house, toward which the wife directed her Blebs and into which they entered, passing into a room that was furnished in a magnificent style. She told him to sit down and ' make himself contented while she went into another room. The first one who addressed her was her uncle, who asked her how she escaped from her room and where she had been. Hef only answer wast "ThotTHend in human shape; I allow you just one hour in which to re? move your effects from this house. You have long deprived me of my property, and meant to through life; but yon are frustrated. I am mistress of my own house. I am married, and my husband is herel" We must leave the newly married con pie for the purpose of giving the history of Mrs. Tudor. She was the only child of a wealthy gentleman, Mr. A , his daughter's name being Elisa. He had been at great expense in her educa? tion, she being tbe only object of his care, his wife dying when she was quite young. A short time before hin death he made a will by which his brother was to have all the property nntil his daughter was married, when it was to be given op to her husband; but if she died without marrying, the property was to go to her uncle aud his family. After the death of Mr. A-, Mb brother removed in? to his honae and Eliza boarded in his family. She soon discovered that her uncle did not intend that she should ever marry. He shut her np in one of tbe centre rooms of the third story and re? fused her associates by telling them when they called that she had goue on a journey. The unfortunate girl was shut off from the world for three years. Her scanty breakfast happened to be carried to her one morning by her old servant Juan. Seeing the face of her old friend and servant, Eliza burst into tears. Juan well understood tbe meaning. "Hush, Eliza 1 Some of your old ser? vants have long been planning for your escape." "What 1" exclaimed Eliza, "is it possi? ble that I am to be delivered from this place." It is unnecessary to detail all the min nitia of the escape. Suffic- it to say that on the morning of the fourth day after the interview, ehe made her escape. This was about daylight. She immedi? ately bent her steps to the wharf where I the Boston vessel lay, The amazement of Tudor and trans? port of his wife in tbe sudden change of his fortune may possibly be Conceived but Cannot be expressed. One pleasant morning some days after the marriage, the crew of the Boston ves? sel's attention was drawn to a splendid carriage approaching the wharf. The driver let down the steps and a gentle? man and lady elegantly dressed alighted. Tbe gentleman asked the captain what port be was from, and many other ques? tions?all tbe time avoiding his scrutiny. At last, turning to tbe captain and call? ing him by name, be said: "Captain, before leaving your vessel permit me to make you acquainted with Mrs. Tudor." The captain and those about bim at once recognized bim to be their old friend and shipmate Tudor, whom they had sup? posed some accident had befallen. You may judge of the congratulations that followed. The captain rrgretted bis harsh judg? ment be had at first passed upon the young lady, but unlike the mate, being a married man, he was spared the added mortif ication of the latter that he spurned even to consider so fortunate an offer of marriage. This remarkable marriage, the bride being snatched from prison walls, as it were, and the groom being called from ( he hard and bumble lot of a common railor, brought suddenly and unexpect? edly to a position of freedom and afflu once?has hardly a parallel in all history. Th? ? ? uit? : hus formed proved to be a r*?ry l.*pj y ?ne. The large fortune that fell i|u?l3r the active management of' Frederick Tudor was wisely handled and largely increased. In due time Mr. and Mrs Tudor transferred their residence to Boston. With shrewd foresight Mr. Tudor entered largely into the ice business, being the first person to make any ?hip ments of ice by sea. His venture was made in 1805, when he sailed himself with a cargo of ISO tons, in his own brig, to Martinque, West Indies. In 1815 Mr. Tudor obtained the monopoly of the Havana ice busioess, and important privileges from the Cuban government. In May, 1833, be sent bis first cargo of ice to the East Indies, which was delivered in the autumn of tbat year. Of the 180 tons, nearly one half of it was wasted on the voyage and in going up the Ganges. The ice was Bold .immedi? ately, at no more than balf the cost of that prepaid by the natives In 1824 the first cargo of ice was shipped to Bra Bil by Mr. Tudor, and until 1836 he bad the monopoly of the shipment of ice, but it finally became so large and profitable that others entered into the business from various ports. Mr Tudor's foresight secured to Boston the chief portions of the Calcutta trade, and gave her ship's.cargoes for Southern ports, tbus reducing the cost of freighting Southern products to the North The extensive and valuable Tudor es tates in Boston and viciuity, where rep? resentatives of the family still reside, are well kuowo. The Tudors have always been noted for public spirit, intelligence and refinement.?Boston Commonwealth. It Was Curing H im. Our fellow-townsman, says the M"di son, Ga., Courier, tells the following geod story on himself: ' Sotre time ago I was stricken with muscular rheumatism which laid me up in bed for several days. I was under a physician's care and everything moved along smoothly toward my recovery, but I was impatient. At last 1 got hold of some libament tbat was very hot and ap? plied it to my neck. The linament was possessed of good medical properties and did me good. It helped me bo much that I thought it a wonderful medicine. One day Mr. N. 0. Murray came down from Kingston and I noticed his neck was drawn out of shape and on inquiry found that be was Buffering with the same disease that had attacked me. I told him of the wonderful linament and what it bad done for me. He wanted to try it, of course, and I promised to bring the bottle up when I returned to the store from dinner. I went home at noon and ale dinner, and being in a hurry, as I passed out through the sitting room, I picked up a bottle that was sitting on the mantle shelf, supposing it to be the bot? tle of linament. Late tbat evening Mr. Murray came to the store for bis medi? cine. I produced the bottle and handed it to him, giving him strict caution about using it, as I told him it was made of veiy hot ingredients, and unless he was careful it would blister. I told him to tell his wife to be careful in applying it to the back of his neck, for if she used mach her hands would be blistered. He went borne and tbat night, being afraid he wohld blister Mrs. Murray's hands with the linament, betook a very small mite on his own finger and applied it to his neck. He waited for the burning sensation but it failed to come. Mrs. Murray asked him if the linament was burning. No; but it was relieving tbe pain. A good application of the medi? cine was put on and Mr. Murray retired for tbe night. He arose next- morning much relieved and believed tbe medicine was possessed of wonderful curative properties. About tbat time I discovered that I had sent Mr. M. a bottle of ma? chine oil instead of linament. A letter was sent explaining matters and a note reading something like the following was received from Mr. Mnrray in tbe re ture mail: "My Dear Mr. McGee: I re? ceived your letter and also the linament to day, bot the machine oil wsb curing me alright, ifyou hadn't told me it was not medicine and broke the charm." Mr. McGee thinks tuere is something in "Faith Cure" after all, and Bays per? haps the easiest way to CUre disease is through the imagination instead of the stomach. From Prosperity to Poverty. We have only to Btudy the every day life around us to realize tbe truth of the scriptural saying that "riches have wings." A few days ago our news columns con? tained a brief statement to tbe effect tbat a man in New York who had once rank ed with the money kings of the metropo? lis had been arrested for stealing a loaf of bread worth eight cents. Greed led this man into Unsuccessful speculations, and at last, friendless and penniless, bis thrift degenerated into theft, and the jail saved him from starvation. And now it is announced that Henry Hugh McCosh, once tbe right hand man of A. T. Stewart, the dry goodB prioce, dropped dead, last Friday, in a dirty alley in tbe slums of New York. Suc? cess turned bis bead and made him a drunkard. He squandered his fortune, and a man he had befriended paid bim $1 a day as a sort of pension. This sum was expended in liquor, and it turned the once prosperous merchant into the bloated corps of a pauper. Whether men are sober or sottish, vir? tuous or vicious, wise or foolish, they cannot with any degree of certainty count on tbe favors of fickle fortune. One is wrecked through his good and strong points, and another through bis tad and weak points. The shrewdest man of business may get to the top of the hill only to make a precipitate descent, while his Silly Billy of a neighbor blun? ders into tbe place left vacant. But it is a small matter?this descent from riches to poverty?when we take tbe right view of it. The millionaire and the mendicant of to-day are bound to find themselves on the same level in another world, and if one goes up and the other goes down in this world, why should anybody cry ? We have been forewarned tbat these things must be ex? pected.?Atlanta Coi\stitution. ? During a heavy thunderstorm near Somerville, Tenn., Thursday afternoon, a lightning bolt struck the dwelling of Matthew Boylan while the family of nine persons was sitting around the fire. Mrs. Boylan and two children were in? stantly killed and Boylan himself severe? ly shocked. One of the children killed was holding a baby in her arms, but the infant was not hurt. Another child was injured by a piece of tin which the bolt tore from the cupboard door and drove through her wrist, A dog and chicken under the house were killed where tbe 1 bolt passed down throuih the floor, A Bad Forty?flve Minnie*. A private in tbe Seventy-fifth New York regiment during the war waa ono Schermerborn) whoui everybody called "Skimmy" for short, and of whom Mr. George Seymour of this city relates the following story: Skiramy enlisted un? der the impression that the country would not require bis services longer than two or three months, end the trip t? the front assumed the aspect of an excursion or picnic to him. The regiment fought its way down into Louisiana, and one day the boys found themselves near Brashear. About two dozen of them were de. "iyed as sharpshooters, and as the ener was Acting very lively tho sharps voters scattered out to find the very jest position for effective work. After an hour's quiet blazing away at the Confederate*, Seymour started for a spot some distance on his left, which ap? peared to offer better advantages for his line of business. On the way through a piece of woods he was joined by by two of his comrades, who proposed to go with him. The trio was just nearing the opening when tbey saw a short distance away their comrade Skimmy sitting bolt upright in the crotch of a rail fence without his gun, and the Confederate sharpshooters sending bullets at him like hail. They were at a loss to understand the situation at first, but on closer examina? tion they discovered a little specimen sitting 20 feet away on the ground with his gun pointed at Skimmy, and langh? ing and singing every time a bullet whiz zed by the poor fellow's body. Coming on the rascal from the rear, they put a stop to bis fun by making bim a prison? er. Skimmy climbed down from bis perch and delivered a few earnest remarks. Said he: "Boys, I've alwayB allowed I could lick any four rebels that run agin me, but I want to count that little whif? fet out Of tbe crowd. Why, the durned little cusb has kept me settin' in that crotch for three quarters of an hour, and I'll bet 500 bullets have passed me in that time. I've lost a finger and there's a furrow along one side of my head. If we take bim to camp, I'll never hear the last of it. Let bim skip and keep it to ourselves." Tbe prisoner was released, and tbe story never got to the ears of the commanding officer.?St- Louis Post Bis patch. The Wearing of Clothes. The Tribune has found out sr mehow that there are in the world 500,000,000 of fully clad people, 700^000,000 of partly clad people and 250,000,000 of naked people. We say that the naked millions have a perfect right to live in naked ness. They do uot need clothes for warmth or comfort, and they do not need them for any other reason. They do not ask any other people to go naked, and the other people have no business to ask them to wear things. There are lots of respectable men and women among the naked milions who mind tbeir own af? fairs. We do not suppose that tbe men of the Niger and Congo would be willing to live in this world if they had to wear Coats, vests, trousers, plug bats and leath? er boots, or that tbe womeu would find life tolerable if dressed up in gowns, bon nets, shawls, boopskirts and other things. Most of tbe nude and seminude peo pie of our race are in Africa, and they don't want us to bother them. Most of the clothed and eemiclad people are in Asia, Euaope and America, and they ought to be willing to let their African brethren enjoy the sunshine. Yet the people who wear clothes are perpetually urging the naked people to buy and wear them. It is impudence. A naked persoD may be better and wiser than a clothes wearer. He may be pious, vir? tuous, sensible, industrious, brave and democratic. Another thing is to be said of tbe na? ked millions. They drink very little whiskey or beer, smoke very few cigar ettes. The Comfort of Glrtag. A minister tells an instructive story about giving. In one of bis charges a good man regularly contributed every Lord's day five dollars for tbe support of Church, and as regularly a poor widow put in five cents, all she could spare, as she supported herself and s.x children by taking in washing. One day the former came to tbe minister and said that the latter ought not to pay any? thing, and that he would pay the five cents for her every week. The minister called to fell her of this offer, which he did as delicately as he could. What was ber reply as tbe tears started to ber eyes? "Do they want to take from me the comfort I experience in giving to the Lord ? Think how much I owe to him 1 My health is good, my children keep well, and I receive so many blessings that I feel I could not live if I did not make my little offering to Jesus each week." How few can read this simple narrative without feeling rebuked for their insensibility to God's exceeding goodness.? 7he Treasury.' A Mitigating Circumstance. The prisoner at the bar was charged with being drunk and disturbing the neighbors for four blocks on his street. "What have you to say ?" inquired the court. ? "Guilty, yonr honor, but there's miti? gating circumstances." "I hadn't heard of them," said the judge in surprise. "There was a new baby at our bouse, your honor." "That's nothing. You already had six children, hadn't you.?" "Yes, your honor, all girls. This one is a boy." Tbe judge held up the fine and the prisoner went out looking pleased. A Little Girl's Experience In A Light house. Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott nre keepers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand Beach, Mich., and are blessed with a daughter, four years old. Last April she was taken down with Measles, followed with a dread? ful Couirh and turning into a Fever. Doc? tors at home and at Detroit treated her, but in vain, she grew worse rapidly, until she was a mere ?'handful of bones." Then she tried Dr. King's New Discovery and after the use of two and a half bottles, was com? pletely cured.

Whether from their natural egotism. 01 owing to the custom of thought, men generally believe that every single wo? man in the world is only waiting for a chance to marry, and that outside of that goal life is colorless and vapid to her. Now, for once, all-wise men is mistaken. Marriage is not the one great aim and object in the life of the woman of to day, though every purely feminine heart beats a little faster at the thought of domestic blias and maternal jo^o that may come to her through marriage with seme good man. That is only natural, but the man must be worthy to be acceptable. The old time false idea about sour old maids has practically died out, and many sensible women prefer to live single to the eud of | tbeir days in an atmosphere of cheerful content rather than ally themselves to any man who asks them, simply to avoid being called that wretched misnomer. Our progressive sisters have learned many ways of taking care of themselves that make them practically independent of man's support; therefore, they must better tbeir condition before joining bands before the altar with the first mas culine who does them the honor of pro? posing to them. It is a broad and sweeping assertion, but a true one, nevertheless, that no wo? man Jives, no matter bow scrawny or ugly she may be, wbo has not bad, or will have, at least ene offer of marriage during her lifetime. Women are single from choice rather than necessity, aud though every gentle heart longs for love and sympathy, the practical woman's mind is keenly alive to her own indepen? dence, and a matrimonial alliance must possess merit to recommend itself, for she knows that the world has discovered tbe fact that any woman can marry if she wants to, but she can't undo it so easily. Therefore, caution is needed; for the honor of having Mrs. So-and so engraved on one's visiting cards is not sufficient recompense in ber eyes for jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.?Philadelphia Times. Nativity or the t'otato. There is as mueh mystery as history connected with tbecoramou tuber called the potato. Its nativity, original place in tbe kingdom of nature, and several other things regarding it are still open questions. As to its nativity the weight of argument seems to favor the tropical or subtropical regions of America; There is a tradition that the vines once grew to monstrous size, and that the "balls" were of the "biguess of melons," and at that time the roots were not tubers, the edible parts growing among the branches. It seems that they were first introduced into Europe in the year 1565. Haskell's "Roots and Wild Plants" says: "Wam kins first fetched a queer, bulbous root out of America which some called a 'bo dado/ while others, wbo bad beard tbe Peruvians mention it, spoke of it as a po? tato." Periam's Cyclopedia of Agricul? ture says that Sir John Wamkins found it growing wild near Santa Fe de Bogota at an altitude of 8,000 to 13,000 feet. He also says' that it was "fetched out of America" at about the time settled upon by H-tskell, viz , in the year 1565. Early Purchases of the Indians. Captain West in tbe year 1610 bought the present site of Richmond, Va., for 'some copper." The Dutch Governor, Miouit, bought the whole of Manhattan I-*land, the present site of the city of New York, "lor 60 Dutch gilder?, acme of them being of a doubtful metal.'' Lord Baltimore's company bodght thous ands of acres of fine lands for less than that number of glass beads, including the site of the city or Christiana, "f r which was paid one iron kettle of tbe bigness of five quarts or thereabouts " Roger Williams bought Rhode Island, "Little Rbody,'' for "40 fathoms of while beads, strung." It has only been 255 years this spring since tbe site of New Haven, Conn . was bought for '12 coats of English cloth, 12 spuons of mixed me? tal, 12 hoes, 12 hatchets, 12 porringers, 24 knives aud some French knives and spoons," ?

Yes? terday Mrs. Coroelia, Mrs. Layer's other married daughter, was lying very low, and little hopes of her recovery enter? tained. The number of deaths in the family were seven, as Miss Emma, an? other daughter, aged seventeen, died last Thursday. Tho people are becoming so alarmed that it is almost impossible to get help sufficient to attend to the needs of the dead and dying. Dr. R. L. Hud dleston of Wadesworth has been the at? tending physician, and has had associa? ted with him other physicians of skill and intelligence, but thoy all aro power? less to stay the progress of death when once this fatal malady seizes its victim. 1 had a malignant breaking out on my leg below the knee, and wascuredsound and well With two and a half bottles of K^gM Other blood medicines had failed PaffiBJf to do me any good.
