Our subscribers along the line of tho

of great irregularity iu getting their mails.
It seems that about, as often as otherwise
the mails that go down that road ou the
night train are carried by thci offices and
come back the next day, or at some silfije-
quent time, if at alL

cut, hoping that a hint will be sufficient.—

This remarkable success is undoubtedly!
owing greatly to their superior skill-in tilts

“Among the most prominent merchants
in Rio Janeiro, Brazil, some fifteen years
ago, nasaycang Englishman; who was pos
sessed cot only of a fine form and handsome
features, bnt also a snog fortune, ti e result
of his own industry and business ability.
His business required that, he should make
occasional visits to England, and he had
crossed the Atlantic many times. Daring
one of these visits.' he met his’ fate in the
shape of a beantifnl orphan girl, who ac
companied him on his voyage back’ to Rio
Janeiro as liis wife. For a number of years
they lead a happy married life and two chil
dren were.born unto them. The ticsband
prospered in business and continued to
make occasional visits to England, leaving
bis family at Bio Janeiro. It! .was alter his
return from .one of these, visits that
be beard for the first time whisper, against
h's wife. She indignantly denied, the charg
es made against her, and dared him to pro
duce proof of his assertions; - This he could'
not do, bnt a coolness arete between them
which became insupportable, and a separa
tion was agreed upon. They were divorced
according to the laws of Brazil, the hu.’-
b'aiid settling upon her.a handsome annnity,
which should continue, daring her,life;.or
until she. should marry again,when it should
cease, she retaining the custody oi* tho chil
dren. ^ - - J1 j
.--ITnable to remain at Rio: Janeiro/ the
husband wound up his business, converted
his property into luoney^ iin.d became a
wanderer upon the earth- He finally ac
companied a party to Fort Garry. Minn’eso-
ta'J Where the isolation from the world suit
ed him, and he concluded to remain. Again
he cmb.rked in business, and became knpTP
to many men of St. Paul, not oue of whom
ever suspected the hidden sorrow which
imptl’s him to bury himself amid the sav
age surroundings of the far Nortwest.
.'-The wife, in course of time loved
again, and notwithstanding she lost her
hands ime annuity, she married a gentleman
of scholarly attainments and bnt littlemeans.
With him she lived happily for two year?,
whi-h he died, leaving her and her two
children in destitute circumstances. Dur
ing all this time she heard occasionally
from her former husband'through his letters
to bis friends at Rio Janeiro, and fr m them
she learned thst he still cherished for ’her
a love that would continue unril diath! The
death of her second husband left her almost
penniless. And being convinced of thegn.
alterable love of her first husband ; sho ,re
solved, for the sake of ber children, to seek
out her divorveed husband, and with them
throw herself at bis feet and implore him
to take them back. In pursuance of this
determination she commenced her long and
tedious journey from Brazil to British
America. She arrived in St. Paul a few
days ago, accompanied by her children. It
was during her short stay here that we ob
tained the above particulars, from her. She
remained only two days in St Paul to rest,
and then proceeded on her journey to Fort
Garry.
“The lady is still in the prime of life, and
retains all the beauty which first won the
heart of her former husband. We sppress
the names of the parties out:of regard to
their feelings, as should we give the gen
tleman’s name, many of ■ ur citizens would
recognize it as that of one of the leading
traders of tho Red River settlement.”
