It was traveling from Jacksonville to Sa- vannah won for her the title of the lost woman. On Wednesday night Miss Mauha Howls, accompanied by her sister, left Jacksonville, oc* cupyihg a n elion in the Savannah sleeper. They were destine! for Rostou, and expected to sail by the steamer Gate City on Thursday af ternoon. Some lime after leaving Jackson* ville Miss Howes asked a porter to escort her to the Cincinnati sleep* er, in which were several friends destined to Cincinnati by the way ol .Savannah, as they supposed. Leaving her hand-baggage, bonnet, pur«c and tickets with her sister, she stepped into the car where her trie ads were and sat down. After a pleasant chat she called the por ter, this time of the car in which she was riding, and asked him to lead her back to the Savannah sleeper thought by some she had fallen or jumped from the train and was kill ed, and by others that t ie matter had been pre-arranged and that she had voluntarily left her sister and eloped. The telegram from the conductor at Chattanooga was not wholly satisfactory to those who believed that such was the case, and it was not until more definite in formation had been obtained that they were convinced of the young lady’s discovery. Colonel Haines, of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway, who had been acquainted with the caso, telegraphed the operator at Way- cross and learned that Miss Howes had been there, but had gone on to Brunswick, where she had friends. Later a telegram was received from DAW SOX DOTS. Dawson, May 27—Tlie Superior court is in session. Judge Jolm T. Clark presiding. His honor's charge to the grand jury was a most forcible one, and it was apparent to all that it made an impression for good upon the minds of those who heard it. Judge Clark is one of our foremost judges, and in a life devoted to public interests he lias unselfishly performed all of his high duties. The officers of the court are alive to their interests, and the venerable clerk of the court, J. C'. F. Clark, with an experience of thirty years in his duties, though over sevenlv years of age, performs his duties as skillfully as would a younger man.

What, to do the young lady did not know. The. train was then some distance beyond Way- cross, and too far to ride back lly carriage in the night. She was without money or tickets, and knowing that her sister was una ware ol her whereabouts, and would be concerned for her safety, she ex plained the circumstances to the conductor, and at the first stop a telegram was sent back to Way- cross saying that she would return there by the first train. The tele gram was not received by her sis ter, who came on to Savannah and related the circumstances so far as she knew them to Messrs. Barnard & Kichardsoii, agents of the Boston line of steamers. Mr. Barnard at once became interested, and set out to find the young lady. A telegram was sent in her name to Wave!oss, and to insure its deliv ery another was soul to the opera- tating the circumstances, and asking that the messtge be placed in Miss Howe’s bauds as quickly as possible. An hour Inter a reply as received that there was no such person in town. This aroused Mr. L’aniards interest still further, and he determined to find the young lady without Jail. Being wholly unaware of her movements after ♦ he left her sister below Way- cross, he surmised that she had been carried past on the Cincinnati sleeper and would reach Savannah by the way ot Macon and the Cen tral rail rod. The ship by which she expected to sail was to leave at 4 o’clock, and in hope of her arrival by the from Macon, Mr. Bar nard made p.eparations to meet her upon her arrival at the Central depot with a carriage, so that she might reach the ship without de lay. 11*' told the story to Major of the Celll**!!I, who, uifieant siiake of the head, looked at Mr. Barnard to see whether he was in earnest. “She’s skipped! There's a young man in the case, v replied the major. Mr. Barnard assured Jdm that this could not be, and a telegram was sent to the conductor of the Macon train at Milieu to find out if Miss Howe wa 1 -on board. The re ply came back, "Not on train.” BaJlIeti in this move, Agent learning of her adventure, assumed the role of protector until ho had placed her in Mr. Barnard's care. She had been provided with tuonev by her friends, and further than being wearied by a long day’s travel was as unconcerned about her safety as though she bad been in her home. The anxiety of her friends had been greater than her own. While tracking her the short distance she had traveled, the telegiaph had clicked her name over thousands of miles of wire, and at the offices where inquiry had been made,*and on board the trains where the por ters inquired, “Miss llowes on board?” she became known ns “the lost, woman.” There are probably few incidents in travel which bet ter illustrate the possibilities of an error, and which show more cleorly the wonderful piogress ofir.vention than the one just told. The long night of Miss Howes from Way- cross to Albany and return, her trip to Jcsup and Brunswick and on to Savannah was mado without the slightest embarrassment, and she was given the most courteous attention by the train officials by whom she was passed to her des tination. Upcu arriving hero she was driven to the Pulaski house, and iu t.ho afternoon was placed on board the City of Augusta en route to her home in the old bay state.

The money is to lie paid by tbe Treas urer of tile United States in cer tain stipulated sum. on the draft of tbo presidentnnd treasurer of the exposition, and on the assurance of the subscription of five hundred thousand dollars by the stockhold ers. As this latter subscribed capital is to be increased to a mil lion dollars,and one hundred thous and dollars have been subscribed by the city of New Orleans, the en terprise starts with two million, one hundred thoiisaud dollars.

On yesterday the judge sentenced George Washington, colored, to the penitentiary for ten years, on the charge of burglary. George lias been one ot these "coniuiing dark ies,” and lie conjured himself until lie got into the penitentiary. A most righteous verdict all say. Tlie court may hold two weeks, and it is expected that Judge Wil lis, of tho Chattahoochee circuit, will preside the second week. This court 1ms a very efficient solicitor-general, J. H.
