The Myatery Solved.
Albany Xewi and Advertiser.
At last the mystery surroundi D 8
the deranged French woman who was
found in the woods in Worth county,
and Who has beqn confined first in the
poor house and then in the jail of this
oounty, has been cleared up and her
identity thoroughly established. Ur.
W. E. Atwater, an attache of the Flor
ida lunatic asylum at Chattahoochee,
arrived in the dty yesterday and at
onoe recognized her as a Mrs. Gar-
eese, who was brought from Pensaco
la to the asylum by her husband, and
who escaped from the institution
within the first two or three days of
her inprisonment The escape was
effected during the Christmas holi
days, and she had wandered in the
woods than for a distance of over four
hundred miles before Bhe was cap
tured a few days since. Mr. Atwater
says it was neoessary for her husband
to slip off from her when he brought
her to the asylum, which was the
cause of her telling those who took
her in charge here that she was a de
serted wife. Her husband is still pur
suing bis vocation of a cook in Pensa
cola, and was ignorant of his wife’s
escape until he saw a floating news
paper item stating that she had been
apprehended in Georgia.
The unfortunate woman and her
guard left ob the S., F. and W. train
yesterday afternoon. As the reporter
saw them proceeding to the depot,
Mr. Atwater was walking ahead with
our jailer, Mr. Herrington, and the
wotoan was walking quietly and
peacefully behind. Proper food and
dean dothing has bronght her out
wonderfully, and the poor, emaciated,
ragged woman who, a few weeks ago,
made her advent into oar coanty,
went away a round, pleasant looking
and neatly dressed traveler. May n
merciful Providence, who snatched
from a death in the woods from
■ration, soon, in His wisdom and
time, restore to her mind the benefi
cent light of reason. >'

During the wild-cat days In the
west, a Brooklyn man, who died not
long since, was in business in aMioh-
igan town, and formed a dose friend
ship with' tbe aaahiar of one of the
private banks. One evening the cash
ier admitted that he was laying his
plans to rob the bank of its funds and
skip into Canada, and his friend per
mitted himself to be drawn into the
plot. They were to skip together and
share alike, and a certain date was
mentioned for the affair to come off.
The Brooklyn man sold ont bis store
at a big sacrifice and went to Detroit,
where tbe cashier was to join him
with the stolen funds. The hoar
came and the oashier came, bnt he
bad no sparkle in his eye.
"Basted—basted all to blazes!” he
groaned in explanation.
“Didn’t you get the money ?”
“Not a cent I”
“How’s that?”
“Why, the president skipped ont
Sunday night, tbe secretary followed
him Monday morning, and the whole
board of directors disa'ppeared that
nigbt. On Tuesday morning there
wasn’t an infernal dollar bill left to
steal!” ,
“There wasn’t I”
“Not a one! Juf^ think of the
meanness of the whole board jumping
in and stealing, the cashier blind os a
bat! Where will human meanness
end?”
Sbe Thought ll Waa Just too Lovely.
An Oil City young man was reading
ie Derrick aboat recent doings in
e Arctic regions, and bis best girl
was sitting near by, watching tbe
wagging of his moustache as tbo
words rolled. She was evidently
more deeply absorbed in the mous
tache than the story. He continued:
“Sbe arrived at the month of the
Business, the river Lena, about three months since,

A few days since Ha:
employed by tits
Company as a “shooter” of oil wells,
set out with fifty quarts of nitro-glye-
erino, in his wagon, to shoot a well in
Berger Hollow. He bad packed his
fifty one-qnart cans with anusual
care in a specially constructed wagon.
ThA road he was obliged to take was
verry hilly, and was slippery with ice,
and bis horses becoming frightened,
ran at breakneck speed down a steep
bill. McHenry held on to the lines,
ulthongh he knew that every jamp of
the horses threatened to explode the
nitro-glycerine under bis seat Half
way down the hill he saw that the
wagon would, iu all probability, hit a
tree a few feet further down. “ I
knew,” says McHenry, “that I stood
very little chance of my life by jump
ing from the wagon, but I felt that
not a bit of me would be left if I stuck
to the scat. I sprang out among the
rooks and brush. I was hurt so bad
ly that I couldn’t get np, bat I re
tained my senses. I knew that I was
so close to the tree that I would be
torn to pieces when the explosion oc
curred. I shut my eyes and lived a
year in a second. No explosion came,
and I glanced down the road find saw
the wheels of the wagon just touch
the trunk of the tree. It had barely
passed the tree when the wagon was
Fattening on Flattery.
Washington Pott.
At the request of Goitean, Mr. C.
H. Seed, his attorney, visited tbe jail
the other day and hod an interview
with the condemned assassin. He
fonnd that Gnitean, instead of break
ing down, as has been stated, is gain
ing flesh. “ Should he be confined by
himself for thirty days, however,” said
Mr. Reed, “he would become an imbe
cile. He is fattening on flattery and
attention.” He Bhowed Mr. Beed his
new snit of clothes, whereupon he was
asked why he had bought them, for he
would have no chance to wear them
ont. “0,1 shall live to wear a hun
dred snits out,” said Goitean, confi
dently. When asked if he was not
frightened about bis execution, he
said, “Why should I?” Mr. Reed said
that he would if he was in Guiteau’s
place. “You do not stand with the
Lord as I do,” Guiteau replied, quick
ly. He further showed Mr. Reed for
ty or fifty dollars, which he had col
lected from the sale of pictures aDd
autographs, and offered to pay hack
hire every time Reed wanted to go
out to tbe jail.
“ Do you think be will break down
at last?” the Post asked Mr. Reed.
“ I don’t know as to that; bnt I do
know that if he was to be bang to
morrow and he knew that 20,0011 peo
ple would be present, be would as
cend the scaffold and die happy, be
lieving that be would be orowned with
a halo of glory.”
