Mi>s Stevenson tir-t met Mr. Curtis in May. Mrs. Senator lilauehard had giv en an exeursion jiarty down the I’otouiite river to Mount Vernon and it was through her that Miss Stevenson was introdueed to Mr. Curtis. The young man was very nineh_ impressed j, v d,, vice president's daughter, and the othei inemlters of Mrs. Iflanehavd's party fipiUght she received his marked atten tions favorably. Mr. Curtis is p.K»r. but lie has a good family name and excel- lent prospects professionally. His an- (wstors for throe generations won dis- tinetioii jit the United State navy. His grandfather, Stephen Casin.of Pennsyl vania. ree ived a gold medal for dis tinguished bravery at tile battle of Ticotidefoga.

He has marched on foot the whole way from Calcutta to Ids native town, Hatlicnoxv. In the year lK!»g» he was informed that a kinsman, who had lately died in Australia, had . licqiU'atlicd him a considerable fortune, and so he set out with his wife and children to take ]»ossc-siou of his inheri tance in Hie English colony. When he arriv.'d he found the fortune to lie little more than a fable, and he set his face again towards liome. The ship was hitrncd on the voyage; Hen - Sell- neidereif lost Ids wife and his two chil dren. hut was himself marvclloiisly rescued and carried on Itoard an English ship to ('alcutta. There he qnickly sjx'iit the small rem- nant of his i»ruperfy. and found himself utterly without means of livciili.KMl. So the venturous mall resolved that he would walk home to Austria. He travelled on foot across India. Afganis- tan. Persia. Turkey, the south of Rus sia. Bulgaria. Roumauia and Hungary, into his Austrian fatherland. The journey on foot occupied him nearly the whole of two years. FARMER REGULATORS. Citixcm. S..I Ill.'.l Tliut It t-nt lt»te» Will lti< It. g.il.it.'il in tin* I'ntiiri*. HitiiNiK.i’oitT, Ala..
