STRANGE AS FICTION.
A Narrative or Rnviah Folly and Cilrllith
Innocence.
The San Francisco Morning Call has
the following: It is a curious story,
based upon a boy's folly and a girl's innocence,
and woiild furnish material for
a thrilling novel of the Braddon order.
A kindly feeling for the unfortunate relatives
draws a veil over the real names of
the parties concerned?a feeling that will
be respected by all but those of a scandal
loving, disposition. With this explanatory
preface we will begin the
story with the boy's folly, calling him
George Belmore in lieu of his real name,
which is quite a romantic one. After
makinc a <rood record in his classes.
o U ' '
young Belmore left school some few
years ago to enter a business house in
jSan Francisco, and by dint of hard work
and exemplary conduct was advanced to
the position of bookkeeper, having
gained the entire confidence of his employers.
He was essentially what is
called a " good young man "?regular in
his attendance at church, correct in his
deportment, and popular among a large
circle of acquaintance, and this at very
little more than twenty years of age. i
He fell in love, became ultra romantic
aud took to novel reading, his choice
falling, unfortunately, upon the most
sensational books. The love waned, on
one side or the other, it matters not
which, and the poor boy became moody !
and melodramatic, declaring that he J
would throw off the trammels of civilzation
and go out into the world an Ishmaelite,
or a wandering hermit rather,
if there be such a thing. Through it
all, however, he attended strictly to
business, and fault could be found with
his manner only,not with his actions. The
kev of the safe was entrusted to his care,
only one inner box closed to him, during
the absence of his employers. In this
box were kept a number of valuables,
including, among other matters, an expensive
collection of diamonds and over
wu snares oi stocK mat naa Deen oongiu
at a heavy figure. On the fourteenth of
February last Belmore borrowed the key
of this inner safe from one of the principals
for some legitimate purpose and
kef>t it for several minutes while he arranged
the contents in proper order. On
the fifteenth, being sent upon some
trifling mission, he remained away nearly
three hours, explaining his absence upon
the ground of having been kept in waiting.
He failed to put in an appearance
next day, a fact so unusual that the proprietors
supposed he must be sick. On
the seventeenth his anxious mother
called at the office with the information
that he had been nearly two days absent ,
from home. Suspicion turned to certainty
when the safe was examined and a (
deficiency discovered, ^further investi- ,
gation brought to light the following
facts: With the value of thousands be- ,
fore him to choose from, Belmore had
abstracted 100 shares of Justice stock (
from the safe, leaving the books, which
were under his entire control and which ,
could easily have been tampered with, ,
the bank account, the other stocks, some ,
of them worth far more in value than t
those he took, the diamonds and the
ready cash, intact. On the fifteenth he ;
had sold the stock in the office of a -j
prominent broker for $1,243.75, representing
that it was his father's, and being
identified in his real name by a gen- {
tleman present who had known him from j
childhood. On the sixteenth he pur- ;
chased a ticket for Callao by the steamer j
Colima, which was to sail at noon, giving |
the fictitious name of Frank M. Ball. ]
He then called upon his lost lady love (
and bade her farewell, saying that he was
about to leaTe San Francisco forever. ,
At noon he sailed. {
Among the passengers were an actress }
of the acrobatic order, and a bright, in- ]
nocent girl, pretty in features, modest in r
manner, and barely sixteen years of age. J {
This unsophisticated lassie had never ! t
before left her mother's care, and was >
en route to New York, where she was to \
/ complete her education under the supervision
of an \uint. Her parents had |
placed her in charge of the officers on
board, feeling that she would be safe i
under their protection : and so she was j,
until she left it. An intimacy sprang np
between the actress and the lovely child, (
so the tale is told, and ere many days (
had passed the gasoline star had also in- ,
eluded among her friends the abscond- ]
ing bookkeeper. Through her the boy j
and girl became acquainted, she, of
course, being ignorant of his antecedents,
and she finally made a propositi^ n
to them both t.> join a new troupe which !
she intended to organize on reaching 1
New York. The actress, by the way, 1
not having the requisite coin to pay for , ]
her ticket, had deposited some jewelry 1
at the office, saying that she could re- t
deem them through a friend at Panama. ]
Prom Belmore she obtained $200 as 11
earnest money of the partnership con- t <
cern which they were to start, and: 1
then the idea was proposed that the j1
young people should marry as a more 1
, convenient arrangement. Gretchen was 1
little loth, for she was pleased with the j <
youth's appearance, with his attentions 1
to her and with his off-hand, generous ]
manner, and Faust was equally willing, j i
for the girl's pretty face and winning <
ways had charmed him. It was a hot- j1
house love and blossomed at its very 1
birth, attracting the attention of the ]
ship's officers, who trie?, to put an end i
to it by separating the parties as much 1
as possible. At Mazatlanl a Reverend 1
Mr. Wat kins came on board as a passeri- <
ger to Panama, and the young lovers 1
pleaded with him and with the captain J
that they might be married. This the
captain solemnly forbade, however, kept 1
the girl locked in her cabin for awhile, <
and shut off all communication between j i
her and her would-be husband. "When ;
the Coliina reached Panama, Belmore,
accompanied by the Reverend Mr. Wat- J
kins, called upon the American consul j
and through certain representations ob- tained
a marriage license. 1
They then went to the Grand Hotel,
where they met little Gretchen and her
actress friend, and without a moment's
delay, the Rev. Mr. Watkins pronounced |
them man and wife. It is to be hoped
that he received a handsome wedding fee.
Belmore was married under his assumed ;
name of Frank M. Ball. On April 13th
the party landed in New York, for Belmore
had abandoned his Callao intention
and sold his ticket in Panama, and from
the former place came the first news of !
the erring couple. The parents of the
child wife immediately sent her a loving ;
letter, promising everything if she would ;
only place herself under the charge of
her aunt, as at first arranged. The poor :
little thing has always borne a spotless I
reputation, and God grant that the pen- ;
alty of her wayward act may not be ,
too bitter. Belmore's parent's have
made every reparation in their power
for their son'3 first wandering from i
the path of honor, and in consideration of
his youth, of his past record, of the fact
that he took so little where he could
as easily have taken 60 much more, of
his marriage, and of the almost broken \
hearts he has left behind him, it may be ! i
almost certainly stated that he will be i
allowed to go unscathed by justice, of <
the courts, and that an opportunity will i
be given hUn to redeem his error, 1
THE FIGHTING AT BATOUM.
The Russian* A?*:iuItinK the Height*?
1 wIce'Rejuilscd with Heavy I,om? of Both
?Ien and (inns.
The Loudon Daily Telegraph'a special
from Batoum says: "About five
o'clock in the morning the Russian
forces, which had been largely augmented
for the purpose, advanced with batteries
of field artillery, and made a furi-,
ous attack upon the heights defending
Batoum on the land side, which were occupied
by Bashi-Bazouks. The Ottoman
troops were entrenched in the usual
effective manner upon the slopes and
ledges of these hills, and upon the advance
of the enemy they opened on his
columns a terrible and well sustained
fire of cannon and*musketry, which literally
mowed the Russians down in
swaths. They fell by scores and hundreds
on the plain below the Turkish positions.
During their attempts to make
way against this fire a body of Turkish '
horse and foot, taking advantage of u
thick forest, broke forth upon the flank
of the Russian column and effected
great slaughter. The Muscovites being
upon ground perfectly open, and having
no choice but! o fight or fly, in a short j
time the spot which was the scene of this
flank movement became covered with
dead and dying Russians. But the enemy
quickly brought up reinforcements, and
the battle was renewed with much deter
m ination. For many hours the efforts
of the assailants were desperately maintained,
but toward midday their artillery
fire gradually slackened, and they at
length withdrew, after suffering very
considerable losses. I myself was an eye-.
witness of this important engagement
from first to last, and can testify that the
Ottoman soldiers behaved with a gallantly
wliich was most admirable. They had,
however, during a great part of the
action the advantage of entrenchments
on high ground, and it is due to this fact,
no doubt, that their losses, compared
with those inflicted upon the enemy,
were insignificant-. The victory was won
by the extraordinary courage of the
Baslii-Bazcuks. The dead and wounded
on the Russian side will exceed 4,000. ,
The engagement lasted over eight hours'
actual fighting. The last of the Russians
did not withdraw until near midnight.
The Russians lost many guns.
The only Turkish officer of note killed
is Khalim Bey, major of irregulars. f'j
Mr. Parker and His Dog.
Mr. Parker was walking down Broadway,
a benevolent snlile on his ruddy
countenance, and a fat, white bull dog
trotting complacently at his heels. Oc-'
casionally Mr. Parker would look around
tit his dog and chuckle to himself.
"The board of aldermen be darned," ;
?nid Mr. Parker. "I'm not coiner to
put a four-foot strap on your neck, Marcus
Aurelius," and Marcus Aurelius
wagged his stump of a tail. Just then a
small boy exploded a bomb directly unler
the dog's black nose, and that animal
S?ve a howl and made a dash at the
small boy.
" Look a year," yelled a policeman to
Mr. Parker, "you want to put a strap on
diat year dawg. He's mad."
" He is not mad," said Mr. Parker.
"Well, old feller, who's the judge ? I!
say that year dawg's mad, and I'm goin'
:o knock 'im on the head with my club."
Mr. Parker for the moment looked
Tightened. Suddenly, however, a
twinkle came into his eye, and, drawing
limself up to his full height, he adlressed
the policeman haughtily :
" Officer, you evidently do not kuow
who we are. We had desired to pre- '
serve our incognito, but you force us to
reveal ourselves. We are the Grand
Dnkfi AIpyi's t and that is our bull doc. ;
That dog is an alien ; lie is not a citizen,
ind must not be bound bv foreign laws
md straps. Do you wisli to embroil
/our land in a war with Russia ? If you
lo just club that dog."
" Well, call off your dawg," said the I
policeman.
" Here, Blovitskinourskiroscurobiskilaschowhockouski,"
said Mr. Parker,
without the slightest hesitation.
"Well, I'm blowed," mused the offi- I
;er as Mr. Parker and his dog disappeared.
"I'm blowed ef that dawg couldn't
vork a free lunch route off the people's
egs afore the juke could pernounce half
lis name."?New York World.
A Ghost in Camp.
The London Times has a ghost story.
For a month the camp of Aldershott was
risited nightly by an aggressive spirit.
[t was 110 respector of persons or rauK;
t pumineleil haughty officers in the ribs
in J gave humble privates black eyes. A
private of the 19th saw it one night and
tvas abashed. It was midnight, and the
sentry perceiving something advancing
toward him gave the usual challenge, to
which no reply was made. The challenge
was repeated, whereupon the ghost
went to the sentry box, slapped the sollier
several times' in the face, and before
lie could recover from his confusion
made off across the common with astonishing
bounds. The soldier, in his exfitement,
loaded his rifle and fired, but
missed his aim. The ghost went toward
the military cemetery and in a similar
manner attempted to frighten a private j
in the 100th regiment, who was on guard
by a powder magazine. Again was a
?un fired and again did the ghost stalk
Dff unharmed. A fortnight afterward i
the ghost pounced upon another soldier
md endeavored to snatch away his rifle.
A sharp struggle ensued, which ended
by the soldier receiving a pair of black
gyes and losing his shako, which was
found next morning in the canal. An- ;
other sentry was accosted in the camp
by some one with a mask, who informed
bim that he was the much dreaded ghost
and his object was to show the nation
how easily he could frighten the soldiers
of the present day.
Alter Thirteen Years.
A curious incident is related by the,
Pulaski Democrat: A curious incident
has just occurred in connection with ex- i
Sheriff If man, of Oswego, formerly of I
the firm of Lyman & Beadle, in this 1
village. Diiring the war Mr. Lyman
nrflo n/b'ntnnt in the One Hundred and I
Forty-seventh regiment of New York
volunteers, was taken prisoner at the j
battle of the Wilderness, Va., May, 1864,
and delivered up his sword, since which
time he has heard nothing whatever relative
to that article. About two weeks
ago, however, a letter appeared in the 1
New York JIf raid stating that the sword i
might be had on application to a certain i
box at Macou, ^Georgia, and this being
brought to Mr. Lyman's notice he wrote
to the address. Last Friday night the i
sword was received at the express office
m Oswego, with an order attached for it
to be delivered on May 5, the thirteenth
anniversary of its capture.

An Earthquake at Home.
A Middlebnrg correspondent of the
Albany Aryus, writing under date of
May 11, says : About three o'clock this
afternoon we had a genuine earthquake
here. It was so severe that many people
ran out from their houses aud places
of business in alarm. The ground
trembled, and in some places a sound
was heard resembling the noise of tLunder.
Rev. Dr. Crane, for teu years a
missionary in Turkey, told me a few
moments after the occurrence that he
had experienced many shocks from earthquakes
in this and other countries, but
that this was the severest one that he
had ever known in this country. Some
thought that horses were running away,
others that chimneys were falling over
their heads, while many, not dreaming
of earthquakes, ascribed the noise to the
rolling of heavy barrels. At Schoharie
it produced the same effect.
While Other IlotelH
Are complaining of the hard times and lack of
business, the Grand Central Hotel, New York,
continues to receive the same liberal patronage
as heretofore. The chief reason for this, however,
is no doubt the fact that the Grand Central
has always been liberal in return, and reduced
its rates to suit both the times and its
guests. The last reduction was from ?4.00 to
$2.50 and $3.00 per day.
Superatltion.
A panacea, or "cure-all," is one of the myths
of the age of superstition. Dr. R. V. Pierce
does not recommend any one or even his whole
list of standard remedies as adequate to cure
every disease. For severe lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat, and chronic lung diseases, he
believes his Golden Medical Discovery is unsurpassed,
but it will not cure you if vonr lungs,
are half wasted by consumption. The Discovery*
not only exercises a potent influence over pulmonary
affections, by reason of its pectoral
properties, but possesses also the most valuable
alterative, or blood cleansing properties, and is
therefore a sovereign remedy in blood and skin
affections. But while it will cure scrofulous
and other ulcers or sores, blotches, pimples and
eruptions, it will not cure cancer, nor does its
manufacturer claim any such merit for it as is
done by proprietors of other blood cleansing
medicines, who dishonestly try to deceive the
afflicted into the belief that their preparations
will accomplish impossibilities. By reason of
its real intrinsic merit it has a sale surpassing
that of any other blood and cough medicine. j
Tbe Wise Course in Rheumatism.
Rheumatic patients who have been induced
to submit to depletion by blood letting, or to
take colchicum and other drags of an equally
pernicious character,, will consult their well
being by abandoning such insane procedure,
and using as a substitute Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which will infallibly afford "them the
much desired relief, and is absolutely safe.
This benign vegetable depurent cools the blood
by expelling from it the inflammatory elements
which give rise to maladies of a rheumatic and
gouty type, and rectifies disordered conditions
of the stomach, nervous system and bowels
which usually accompany them. As rheumatism
has a tendency to attack the heart, the desirability
of an early resort to these bitters is
obvious, since the danger is increased by every
moment of delay.
[From the Troy Times, March 18, 1874.]
Peruvian Syrup is- a standard remedy for
building up ana renewing broken-down or
nervous constitutions. For dyspepsia, debility,
liver complaint, kidney and bladder diseases, or
part of the manv irregularities of the various
organs of the human frame, it is a sovereign
remedy. It is a tonic without alcohol. This
medicine is too well known already to require
any commendation from us. It is only necessary
for us to say to those who have never
given it a trial that it will accomplish all that
is claimed for it. Now is the time to tone up
the system before the hot months of summer
fairly set in. Sold by all druggists.

VE6ETINE.
Her Own Words.
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 13, 1877.
Mb. H. R. Stevens :
Dear Sir?Since several years I have pot a sore and
very painful foot. I had some physicians, but they
couldn't cure me. Now, I have heard of your VEGETINE
from a lady who was sick for a long time, and
became all well from your VEGKTINE; and I went and
bought me one bottle of VEGETINE and after I had
used one bottle, the pains left me. and it began to heal,
and then I bought one other bottle, and so I take it yet.
I thank God for this remedy and yourself; and wishing
every sufferer may pay attention to it. It is a blessing
for health. *
Mrs. C. KRABE, 638 West Baltimore Street.
VEGETINE.
Safe and Sure.
Mr. H. R. Stevens :
In 1872 your VEGETINE was recommended to me.
and, yielding to the persuasions of a friend. I consented ,
to try it. At the time, I waa suffering from general
debility and nervous prostration, superinduced by over
work and irregular habits. Its wonderful strengthening
and curative properties seemed to affect my debilitated
system from tne first dose; and, under its persistent use.
I rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual health ana
good feeling. Since then I have not hesitated to give
VEGETINE my most unqualified indorsement, as being
a safe sure, and powerful agent in promoting health ana
restnrir? tne wasted system to new life and energy.
VEGETINE is the only medicine I use; and, as long as
I live, I never expect to find a better.
Yours truly, W. H. CLARK,
12U Monterey Street, Alleghany, Penn.
VEGETINE.

H. R. Steven8:
I)far Sir?This is to certify that I hare used your
" Blood Preparation" in my family for several years, and
think that, for Scrofula or Cankerous Humors or Rheumatic
affections, it cannot be excelled; and as a blood
purifier or spring medicine, it ia the best thing I have
ever used, and I have used almost everything. I can
cheerfully recommend it to any one in need of such a
medicine. Yours respectfully,
Mbs. A. A. DINSMOKK, 19 Kussel Street.
VEGETINE.
What is Needed.
Boston, Feb. 13,1872.
H. R. Stevens, Erfj.:
Dear Sir? About one year since I found myself in a
feeble condition from general debility. VEGETINE
was strongly recommended to me by a friend who had
been much benefited by its use. I procured the article,
and, after using several bottles, was restored to health,
and discontinued its use. I feel quite confident that
there is no medicine superior to it for those complaints
for which it is especially prepared, and would cheerfully
recommend it to those who feel that they need something
to restore them to perfect health.
Respectfully yours, U. L. PETTENGILL,

No. 10 State Street, Bostou.
VEGETINE.
All Have Obtained Relief.
South Bebwick, Me., Jan. 17, 1872.
H. R. Stevens, Esq.:
Dear .Sir?I have had Dyspepsia in its worst form for
the last ten years, and have taken hundreds of dollars'
worth of medicines without obtaining any relief. In
September last I commenced taking the VEGETINE,
since which time my health has steadily improved. My
food digests well, and I have gained fifteen pounds of
fl eh. Th-re are several others in this place taking
VEGETINE, and all have obtained relief.
Yours truly. THOMAS E. MOORE.

I have suffered all the pain 1 could endure

of morphine. I have been given up by physicians
as past cure. I have taken one package of Dr.

me more good than all the doctors I have had. I
sleep well, I eat well and have no pain. They are
all they are recommended to be. Pleas* send me
three packages, as two of my neighbors wish to
try them. I enclose $1.50.

Neuralgia and Rheumatism,
Liver and Kidney Complaint
for Twenty-Five Years Cured
by Quain's Condition Pills.
Danveks, Mass, July 19,1875.
American Medicine Co. For the last twentyfive
years I have suffered terribly with Neuralgia
and Rheumatism, also Liver and Kidney Complaints,
causing severe pain in the back and hips,
often unable tor months to stoop te pick up any
small article from the fioor. I have had several
doctors, spent a great deal for medicine, which did
no good, and finally concluded 1 must suffer the
rest of my life. I happened one day to see your
advertisement in the C'ongrca ationalut. I thought
the medicine was just what I needed, and I sent to
you last April for a package of Pills. Before 1 bad
taken eight I felt like a new person. Can sleep well
nights, eat well, and have no Neuralgia pain, can
stoop a* well as ever. My friends are astonished,
at the change in me. My sister has suffered from
Inflammation of the Bowels, and Constipation, and
wishes to try your medicine. I intend still to take
them, and would not be without them if money
would buy them. I think they must prove a blessing
to thousands who will be induced to try tliem.
Enclosed you will And $1.00; please send two packages.
