EDWARD A. HOLMES. oc»-i-’78-t-d Crawfordville, Georgia, November 8, 1878. Miscellaneous. A RAILWAY ADVENTURE. The hour grew late, and Mr. Brand paced his chamber in moody silence, Tiie train had come in, but his ger had not returned, and the merchant was troubled—troubled by a vumie sort of doubt, which haunted him irf spite of his faith in Lake. A staid, sober old trader, of long experience, had said that IaUcc was too young to fill the important position which he held, but Mr. Brand '“"“1 «• » T<»" * * TT having , heard . rumors SMM*ptn* _ n , house with which lie bad extensive deal ings, the merchant had dispatched Lake to London, telling him to make inqui ries, and in any case to get the partners of the firnnn question to settle their ac count. So Lake bad gone from Liverpool to London. The time appointed for his return passed, and still he did not come, A lady entered, and stole to the chant’s side. Her own sweet face was anxious, and there wa3 a tremor in the music of her voice, asshe said : “Doyou think he will be here to-night, dear papa?” “I hope so, Mary; but it is very late.” “Is there no other train ?” “Only the night express, and that 0t 8t ° P eXCCPt at tht Ce * trai SU - tkms.” “Perhaps he will come, papa; he would not mind coming ten miles, even if he had to walk.” “He should not have misted the train,” said Mr. Brand, sternly; “punctuality isan imperative duty with men of busi ness.” “But, papa, something may have happened to detain him.” ha^i Tl" > v.Tto»t”,l? m ™ *' b ° (air ,.laaaar »na aitomsd ; l.ar father was angry, and, knowing his strictness of principle, and how invet erate was his dislike to any breach of discipline, again. she did not vent ure to speak The lime dragged slowly on; Mr. Brand continued his restless walk, and Alary sat subdued and quiet, watching him. She saw that he was listening as the night depths express w r ent whirling by, and from the of her heart there went up a prayer that Labe would come safely home. The girl loved him, would have staked her life on life truth, and knew that he was not beyond his time t hrough any weakness or wrong. Too slow, weary hours passed. Mr. Brand w;fS reading the? commermni new's ; but for the first time in his life it did not interest him. He was think mg of the young clerk, and the heavy Slim of money that would be in his possession should the London firm have him. And Mary, reading her father’3 countenance, felt chilled and pained iumesty by the slur cast on her lover’s by his suspicions; her every thought was a denial to his doubts, and, as tiie rapid clatter of a horse’s feet rang out, she ran to the window. “Look 1” she said, dashing the. curtain aside with eager hands ; “look, papa ; I said he would come—I knew he would.” The merchant’s stern face relaxed with a smile of pleasure; he was not emotional or demonstrative, but his daughter’s gladness pleased him. There were a few moments of expec tancy, and then Tom Lake came in. He went straight to Mr. Brand, only notic mg, with a bow. the lovely face whose glance thrilled his soul. “They have paid,” he said, quietly, as be put a thick pocket-book in the mer chant’s hand ; but 1 think we were only just in time.” “Indeed!” “There was a consultation at the banker’s before I could get cash for the check.” “Do you think they will break ?” “Hopelessly. They have given me an immense order, but it would not be wise to forward the goods. ” “You (lid not hint that we had tiie Slightest fear!” “No, but I was glad to get the money; £12,000 would have been a heavy loss.” ‘ It would have don* me serious in j u *Y “And yet,” n °w.” said Tom, J gravely, “this morning the odds were considerably against it ever reaching you.” “IIow!” Tom took two Chairs, placed them side by side near the fire, led Mary to one, and seated himself in the other, he had done his duty as the clerk, and was now Mr. Brand’s pro spective son-in-law and partner. “I had an adventure,” he seid ; “I was the hero of a strange story in a ride Mary bent forward to listen. clasped her hand in his own. Mr Brand sat opposite them, interested by the speaker’s manner, as he began : “When I got the check I bad an idea that all might not be well, so to sure, I presented it to the banker’s, There was, as I told you, a consultation they cashed it, and, while the consultation was going forward, I noticed a stranger looking at me intently. 1 kaew the man in my younger and wilder days. I had mH him often at the race-course, in the billiard-rooms, and in other places more or less respec table. Now, he was changing a check for some petty amount, and was evi dently astonished by the immensity of the order 1 had Presented. I left the bank with my pocket-book full of notes, and found I had lost the train. The next would lie the night express, so I strolled into a billiard-room. There was some clever playing going on, and I stood watching the players till some one chal lenged me to have a game. If I have one special vanity it is my science with the cue. I accepted, and as I did so a atran f? e feeling, which hail been growing a P°“ L ? e - took a 3udden which “The ^ ohaHenge n was from , the .. man ^ u&l noticed at the banker s.

Vixen had broken his promise, and I was left to travel that perilous journey alone with the man who had followed me so skillfully, another who might be his federate, and an old gentleman who, after grumbling out his indignation against all railway servants and loeotno tive-traveling in the in general, was fast asleep corner. “That the intentions _ of my billiard player were bad whs manifested by the fact of ins having assumed a false mustache and heard.

I arisw-ered him, not wishing to appear churlish or afraid, knowing that I could trust something to my own strength should the worst come. “We had made the last stoppage, and were rolling through the gloom, when among other topics our conversation touched on jewelry. He drew a showy ring from bis finger, telling me it was a curious piece of workmanship having a discover. secret spring, which he said I could not “I took it, searched in vain for a spring, and then, returning it to him it dropped and rolled under rav feet “I stooped to pick it up, and so did he; but at that moment, when toy head was down, he had me tightly by the throat, and threw me to the carriage floor. “His confederate scaraelfhreLthe was upon me in an instant.

An editor Is a man who lives tin what other men owe him, until he starves to death. A subscriber is a person who takes a paper and says he Is very much pleased with It, and tells everybody else that he ought to "subscribe.” After he has "sub¬ scribed" about seven years, the editor writes to him and asks him to let him have $3 80, (three dollars and fifty cents,) and then the subscriber writes back to the edl tor and teiis him not to send his old paper any more, for there is nothing in it and then the poor editor goes and starves some more. ine following scocklng oeeurrence (s published In the Albany New of the 24th lost "Last night’s Brunswick and Albany mail brought us Information of the finding of the remains of some unknown man ten miles south of Ty-Ty, t>v Mr. W. E. Williams. Vo part iculars accompanied the news. Our correspondent stated that ‘lie has been dead so long that his bones were literally scattered over a quarter of an acre of ground, and were bleached and whitened by the rain* and sun.’ Scattered about over a consider, able space were found a valise, a violin, some clock makers' Implements snd various papers. His Identity could not lie traced on any of them. The papers were old and dim, and the lettering obliterated by expo¬ sure to weather. Tiie man mav have count to his death by some providential cause. If not, there lias been a terrible deed commit¬ ted, and we hope it will be ferreted out. The coroner took charge of the remains, and, wesuppn , held an Inquest overt!« same. The lighting of East Liverpool, Ohio, with natural ga» from wells has been often briefly mentioned. Tiie fact is that the plan has been for many years in successful operation. The gas comes continuously and in large quantity from several deep wells, and is available not only for light, but for heat.
