HUNTED DOWN.
A Wife - Spends Twenty-eight Years in
Hunting for Her Husband--She Finds
Him in Cleveland---The History of Her
Searoh.
[From the Cincinnati Times, Nov. 20th.]
One of those cases in which wowan’s
constancy under the most trying circum
stances is exhibited came to light in
this city on Friday. The story certain
ly has the imprint of the romantic more
than the reality, and borders closely up
on the imaginative; yet the maunner
in which the facts wero told by
the two interested parties clears the
mind of all doubt, and seems to stampit
with truth. The circumstances as relat- '
ed to us, are substantially as follows: ‘
In the beginning of 1840, Henry Lef
fingwell was a well to do mechanic, liv
ing near the suburbs of London Eng
land. In the month of March of that
year, a larceny was committed near his
residence, and circumstances pointed to
him as the perpetrator. He was arrest
ed, examined before one of the stipen
diary magistrates, and fully committed
for trial. A month after, he was con
victed and sentenced to hard labor in
the penal colony of Australia, for a peri
od of ten years, and in less than a week’ul
time thereafter he was on his way to a
far offland, His devoted wife, who all|
the time firmly believed in her hus
bands innocence, at once made prepara
tions to follow and remain near him dur
ing his confinement, so that she might
be the first; wiren” his ticket of leave
came, to cheer him wi’th’(’}?om
apdigewfort him with wifely love. The
ship containing.the convict arrived safe,
aitd her cargo of living human beingsl
was at o_g%:tx'allsfcrred to the govern
ment> work-houses:#=-Not so, however,
the ship upon which Mrs. Leffingwell
embarked. When about half way upon
her journey. the vessel encoumtered:a
fearful storm, and, after buffeting the
waves for two days, foundered and went
down, the crew and Mrs. Leffingwell
barely escaping upon a raftdhassily con
structed when.it-was found that the ship,
could.not be_saved.
After an exposure of several days they
were picked up by the American ship
North Wind, bound from New York to
China, where Mrs. Leffiingwell was at |
length landed, only to find herself ~iu:- |
ther tnan ever from her destination, and
with no immediate . prospects of reach
ing it. After several months of patient
watehing and waiting, she was enabled,
through the kinduess of the American
Consul, then residing at Yeddo, to
procure passage to Cuba, whence the
prospect of reaching Australia would be
‘much improved. Passing overa spacc
of a year,and a half, in which Mrs. Lef
fingwell passed through many scenes
calculated to try firmer resolutions than
hers, but through which she clung to her
reselve with true English obstinacy, she
finally found herself on the shores of
Australia, but as much at a loss concern
ing thesexact locality of her husband’s
whercabouts, as she would be of a nee
dle for which she was hunting in & hay
mow. She persevered, 'awever, but
four long years passed away before she
was enabled to obtain the slightest trace
of her husband, from the fact that when
onee landed from the ship éach convict
receives a number, by which heis only
known to his keepers. Mrs. Leflingwell
knew not her husbands number, and
when she made inquiries for him she
was always baffled with the question,
¢His number, ma’'m ¢’ At the end of
the time spoken of, {during which her
means had become exhausted and she
had been compelled to resort to menial
laber, she one day picked up a Sidney
paper, in which was an account of her
husband’s release, the real criminal of
the larceny having been found and ex
ported. The account gave her hus
band’s number and the facts which con
victed him in so precise a manner that
she could not long doubt as to who was
meant. Her course was marked out at
once. Going to the prison authorities of
Sidney, she at length learned that ““tick
et of leave man No. 186,” her husband’s
number, had left the island for the
United States of America, two weeks af
ter his release. The next thing for her to
do was to follow him. Scraping together
her scanty means, she found she pos
sessed barely enough to pay her pas
sage. She seized upon the first oppor
tunity presented, and in :June, 1847,
she found herself once more upon the
ocean, bound for the land of the free,
with her mission still nnaccomplished.
In daetime she arrived in New York
city, where she remained until the eivil
war broke out, not having in the mean
time heard one word of her husband”
though she made every ecxertion to,
find his Awhereabouts. When the war
broke out and at the first call for nurses
in the hospitals she responded, and un-!
til peacewas declared there were none’

more faithful in the care ef our
wounded than Mrs. Clara Leflingwell.—
While in one of the hospitals at Wash
ington she nursed to life and strength a
man who knew hor husband in the army
who had been his mess-mate and boon
companion, and who, in his delirium,
constantly called upon his comrade to
come to his assistance. When thecrisis
was passed and it was known that the
soldier would live, she questioned him
concerning her husband, and ascertain
ed that he was in a Pennsylvania regi
ment, having enlisted from Dittsburg
two years before. She at once address
ed Leflingwell a lotter, stating in full her
efforts to find him, and detailing at
length her disappointments and troubles.
With the usual perversity of the army
mails, that letter never reached its des
tination. Mrs, Lefingwell waited and
watched, but still no answer came, and
at length when the war was over she
set out once more in search of her hus
band. A visit to Pittsburg revealed the
fact that her husband's term of enlist
ment had expired long before, and his
idnteity was once mere lost. She in
serted advertisements in- a number of
the Pennsylvania papers, ealling for in
formation of his whereabouts, aund then
sat herself again to watch and wait.—
Time crept slowly on and still no tidings
of her absent one.
A week ago, when she had given up
all hope of ever seeing her husband
again, she very unexpectedly received
diree* information of his place of abade
from one who came across the advertise
ment of three years before. The paper
sontaining it had yery providentially
escapeduthe destruction which usually
comes upon the dailies of the diifcrent
cities, and now was the' means of uniting
two personstwvho for twenty-eight.years
had been separated by a cruel fate.—
Our heroine_at once made preparations
‘to go to-Wer husband, who lives in or
near Cincinnati, and who had been ap
prised of her coming. She accordingly
laft Pittshurg on Friday morning, and
arrived in Cleyeland in the afternoon of
the same day. . What was her surprise
\and pleasure on alighting from the cars
‘at the Union depot to procure some re
freshwents, to be confronted by her hus
‘band. For a moment they stared at
each other, and then with a simultaneous
impilse they rushed into each other's
‘arms, all unconscious of the gaping
‘crowd, who, with the usual curiosity,
‘had paused in their hurry to witness the
scene. The years that had separated
‘them, though they had silvered the heads
of each and left lines of care upon their
brows, had not eradicated the love they
bore one another, or torn from their
licarts the memory of olden time, befor:
relentless fate had so cruelly thrust them
asunder. The trials of the past were
forgotten in the present joy, and they
took the train for home at seven in the
‘evenirg, happy only in each others com
‘pany. It was while they were waiting
}lhe departure of the Cincinnati train,
‘and through the kind offices of one of
‘the C. and P. railroad officials to whom
'Mrs. Leflingwell had revealed a part of
her story, that the above was obtained.
‘Though, as we said at the beginning of
this article, the story has the imprint of
‘the romantic and unreal, still we give il
as it was given to us believing in it
(rubhiulness.
Wno WiLL Have IspLuesce WiTH
GENERAL GRANT.—There is a great
deal of speculation on this subject just
now, writes Mr. Robert Bonner, of the
N. Y. Ledger. Some people think that
Mr. E. B. Washburne will control him;
some say that he is in frequent and con
fidential correspondence with Mr. A, T.
Stewart, the dry goods man; somne say
that General Rawlins is all powerful with
him, and others that General Badeau
wields a wonderful influence. We have
been frequently asked what wo think
about the matter, and to save the trou
ble of further inquiry we may as well
state our views. On oneoccasion, when
General Grant was riding with us be
hind Peerless, he quietly remarked, *I
should like to take hold of the reins.”—
Now, we rather think General Grant
will hold the reins himself for the next
four years. He has been elected Presi
dent and he will be President. It is
true that he has said that he should on
ly carry out the will of the people as de
clared by the laws of Congress, but then
he will carry it out. We shall have an
administration. He will do his duty,
and the men under hLim will have
to do their duty. Therefore we
conclude that the most influential man
with the administration for the next four
years will be Ulysses S. Grant. 2

THE POSTMASTER GENRAL'S REPORT.
- The N. Y. Tribune of Nov. 18 con
tained an oxclusive tclegraphic synop
sis of the Hon. A. W, Randall's report.
[Tha follewing is the closing paragraph
of the document :
The idea that tho Pest-Ofiice Depart
ment can be self-sustaining in the pres
ent condition of the country is absurd.
It cannot be, aud ought not to be, for
50 yearsto come. The revenues will
largely increase, and so will expendi
tures. Ten years hence I estinmte the
expenses of the Post-Office Department
at $40,000,000, and the rovenues at
$30,000,000, This iucrease must go oen
as long as the country prospers, and
mineral, agricultural, and commercial
business increases. The mines are not
yet all developed, the lands are not all
cultivated, the rivers are not 2!l navi
?'l“wd’ the rallroads are not all surveyed,
the cities are not@MN built, the sea has
not given us all 'wo have a right to ex
act. Our country is not finished, Un
til it is finished, he is not a wise nor a
- sagacious man who assumes that the
| postal service will pay itself. The Post
! Office Department cau be made selfssus
taining in one way, and that is by cut
ting off the postal seivice in the States
and Territories where the receipts for
postages are not equal to the expenses.
This would exclude all but Towa and
Missouri west of the Mississippi, and all
the States overborne by the Rebellion,
It could further economize by with
d-awing all aid from the China, Brazil,
and Satndwich Islands steamship lines,
thus saving $720,000. It could save
$095,000 by abolishing the letter-carry
ing system for the cities. It could also
economise to the extent of over $700,-
000 by 6verturning the systewm of postal
cars. It is true that, in_ghe pubiic esti
mation, the letter carriers for cities are
thoughtto s almost indispensible, but the
system costs money and brings small
revepue. It is all disbursement and no
receipt. What if from 12 to 24 hours

the Governmerit, Jikea miser, can keep’
its money in its chest. It givesno re
turn and helps mobody, but is safely
hoarded. A halting, timid, illiberal
policy like this will save $1,000,000
and lose $20,000,000. Every dollar
put out by the Government in subsidics
to build railroads, in subsidies to aid
ocean commerce, in liberal appropria
tions to open lines of travel and develop
material resources in a great nation like
this,is money put out at exorbitant usury,
and will bring returns in the develop
