fFf'trn the Syracuse Now*.]
Tlic &trui£B incidents related in
tile following sketch arc vouched for
as strictly true by a gentleman who
arrived at. New York on the steam
ship Rotterdam, of the Rotterdam
and Antwerp line, on Wednesday of
last week :
The vesselleft Rotterdam Aug. 7th,
and among the passenger* in the
cabin were a man apparently thirty
five years Ot age, named James N.
Van Seller, and a young lady, appa
rently fifteen years vounger, named
Maria Reuter. From the time of
leaving port the two mentioned at
tracted much attention, ttie man for
his graceful bearing and handsome
looks, and the young lady for her
beauty of such a type that the gen
tlemen, in talking about her, styled
her “the Madonna.”
The ship had not skimmed over
the dark blue waters more than two
days, when the conduct of the two
excited the curiosity of the passen
gers to a still greater degree. They
sat seiieratc at the table, and never
while at meals evinced by look or
word that they were oven acquainted.
But in the morning, even before the
suu had reared its crest out of the
bosom of the ocean, and long after
he had sunk beneath the waves, the
objects of so much curiosity could
be seen engaged in conversation in
such a manner as left no doubt of
their being man and wife, or lovers
shortly to Ire nuirrled. But why the
nqpeteity Of aetitig *0 strangely to
ward each 'oilier w hen in company?
Tile female occupants of tile cabin
were on nettles, and determined to
solve the mystery. Whispers preju
dicial to the fame of the Madonna
were whispered from ear to ear, and
they soon, reached the ears of the
young man-
He was indignant, Imt stAfed the
young lady the recital, and in order
to save them from future annoyance,
he told the writer’s informant that
he was engaged to be married, and
that his intended bride thought there
would be something so romantic
about a marriage in mid-ocean that
heacceeded to her wish. Their acting
as they did in the cabin, was so that
when the time arrived for their mar
riage, they all, as his intended said,
might enjoy a genuine surprise.
The sixth day out from port was set
down as the time for the auspicious
event, and the ladies in the cabin
were wild with excitement. On the
evening pereeding the marriage, as
the snu was dipping its lower edge in
the Western horizon, the passengers
on deck were startled by a loud shriek
from the after part of the hurricane
deck, rushed to the spot from whence
the sound proceeded, and saw Miss
Reuter stretched on the floor, white
at a short distance her lover leaned
against the gunwale, his face ashy
pale, while upon its every lineament
was depicted an agony that a man
can feel but once in his lifetime.
THE DAILY TIMES.
What dire discovery letl to such a
sublimation of sorrow? What upas
tree, with its malignant breath, had
iMiisoncd tile atmosphere of love that
they imt a few brief moments before
Imdbreuthed? There stood the groom
of to-morrow,speechless and motion
less, and the head (if ills intended
. bride, instead of being nestled in his
I arms, lay where it Uau fallen -upon
the deck.
j The jinssengors, on seeing the sad
and strange sight, were amazed, and
wondered that her lover, whose ago
jny was so apparent, did not approach
the prostrate form. Bat, the reason
i would be made apparent soon enough,
and their hearts would bleed fora
I grief that hud no hope, fora blank
I despair that can never tld.s side of
| eternity be irradiated with one gleam
j of sunshine.
| The young lady was at ouce re-
I moved to her cabin, und was attended
by the ship surgeon, but it was long
before she was restored to conscious
ness. Her intended husband was
finally induced to enter the cabin,
but Ids presence brought on a par
oxysm of weeping which
TIiItE.XTENKD THE YOUNd LADY’S LIKE,
and at once withdrew. A few days
! after the strange events related had
ooourred, Mr. Van Seiler, with much
hesitancy, related to the writer’s in
formant circumstances which fully
explained the events of the preced
ing events.
When a boy of ten, he ran away
from his parents, who were residing
in the city of Amsterdam, and found
employment as a cabin boy on a ship
bound for Java. For live years he
sailed to different, parts of the world,
And had accumulated a considerable
sum of money. He concluded, final
ly, to visit liis parents; but on arriv
ing at Amsterdam he heard that, Ids
lather was dead, and that his mother
had again married and removed to a
different part of the country. On
hearing this, lie decided at once to
ship again, and since then lias sailed
all over the world. Ten years ago ho
engaged in business in a Western
town, and becamo rich. Two months
ago lie visited Europe, and in the city
of Rotterdam met with Miss Reuter,
who had been engaged as governess.
A mutual feeling of respect ended
in love, and his proposal of mar
riage was accepted. She said her
parents were (lend, and she had no
one to consult in relation to any step
site took in lire. He desired the mar
riage to take place before leaving,
but providentially, the romantic girl
wished it to bo at sea, which delay
grievous ns the results were, saved
them from a fate much worse than
death. On the evening previous to
their intended marriage Miss Reuter
spoke of her mother as having once
lived in Amsterdam, and that site
had been married twice. This fell
upon his ear as the knell of fate, tiie
name of his father, the circumstances
of her half-brother running away to
sea when he was ten years of age, his
reported death by drowning on the
coast of France, and the strange coin
cidence of iiis and her lost brother’s
name being the same. Not noticing
the intense agony depicted on his
face she drew forth a locket, and
their mother’s pot rail was displayed
before them. With a voice sounding
as if from the grave, ho grasped iter
by the arm und said : “My God, you
are lay sister, my own mother’s
(laughterl” She gave one wild, in
credulous look into iiisfaee, and then
fell fainting upon the deck.
The voyage was a long one, and oc
cupied nineteen days, and before its
termination the young lady was able
to go ou tiie deck. She was, however,
but a shadow of her former self, ami
her restless, vacant look showed tiiat
her mind did not. puss through the
fearful ordeal unscathed.
Together they concluded it was
better to place the ocean between
them, and in a few days the unfortu
nate lady will return to Iter native
Holland. Her brother bus made her
a liberal allowance, which will always
keep her in easv circumstunces, anti
however bitterly they may regret
their unlucky fate, they cannot but
bo thankful that, t heir brief aaquaint
ance ended as it did.
llnll.l, amt American Hallways.
On the British lines the passenger
traffic yielded in 1878 41.31 per cent.,
and on the American lines only 2<!.l
per cent, of the total receipts. When
we remember that the passenger
traffic loads and unloads itself, and
that notwithstanding the greater
prime cost ot the accommodations
necessary to lie provided for carrying
it, it wears less upon the rolling stock
and permanent works of the linos
than the freight traffic, und brings
higher rates of transportation, it
will be clear that tiie British railways
have a great advantage over our own
in this particular.
Tiie indebtedness of the British
railways amounts to hut 25.47 per
cent,., while that of the American rail
ways amounts to 18.53 per cent, of
their totul cost.
Between the working expenses of
the British and the American rail
ways the difference runs very disa
greeably and decidedly against us.
The American average is 65,1 per
cent., and the British only 68.
The British lines average in net, re
ceipts 5.07 per cent, on their total
cost, and the American 4.85 percent.
Our railway lines, however, not only
carry a much larger load of debt, than
the British, but at a much higher
rate.
The British lines pay an average of
4.32 per cent, and the American lines
an average of 6.35 |>er cent., on their
bonded and other indebtedness.— JSf.

Women ani Their Work.
There are many occupations which
women can perform as well as men.
This has bean recently discovered arid
put into practice. They wteo found
in Confederate times to make as good
clerks in the Government offices as
rnen. They were more attentive to
their business, and Cl inihih' ilictu!
talked less than many male clerks.
The same is true, we have no doubt,
iu the Washington government. Wo
men, in general, are honest as well
as capable. They have none of the
bad habits of the masculine biped.
They do not drink, ohew, smoke, !
swear, nor gamble. The devote their
earnings to the support of themselves
and their families. A man who is a
Government clerk is in general fit
for nothing else. If he loses his
pluce, he becomes pretty much a
wreck, for th<> reason that he, was fit,
for nothing else when he took it. All j
clerkships should be filled by women,
and men be made to occupy them-1
selves with more masculine cmploy
ments.—Lynchburg AVer.

COLUMBUS, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1875.
The Business Hllunllnn.
A vigorous and clear-headed writer
contributes to the Now York Shijijiing
List the subjoined article:
Sms: Let us look, for a moment, at
the causes which brought about the
panic of 1873, and the present state
of affairs in the country. The first
cause was the large amount of cur
rency issued during the war, and its
circulation among those who had not
been accustomed to have money.
The sudden acquisition of swell largo
amounts engendered a spirit of ex
travagance in the whole people. As
an example of this, wo call your at
tention to tiie fact that white lu 1860,
a time of peace, our exports were
more than our imports, iu 1864 we
sent out of the country one hundred
millions in gold to pay our debts. But
wo need no examples; every one
knows that money was spent reckless
ly, foolishly, ami that at the time when
everybody should have been saving
and economical, using every effort to
keep the country out of debt as much
as possible, just the reverse was the
case, and extravagance reigned su
preme. This was the first step to
wards “hard times.” Next came the
example o£ a credit system, inaugu
rated bv the ruling administration
tiie putting fortli of promises to pay
in exchange for services ami materi
als with which to carry on the war;
and on these premises all that was to
he paid was the interest, until it was
convenient, to pay the principal. This
example, set by the Government, the
people were not, slow to follow, and
hero began tlio third step. In 1865,
there being an immense amount of
currency, and people feeling rich,
said, “Como, let us build unto our
selves magnificent houses; let us lay
out our cities with extensive parks,
construct long lines of railroad, con
necting every remote section of our
country together:” and so they budd
ed, ana so they constructed railroads.
Once in awhile some cautious man
would say, "How are you going to
pay for all those tilings?” The an
swer was, “Why, don’t you ,see? I
don’t pay for my house, I only pay
interest. Why, the contractor
bought the laud, and ho only paid
a very small amount down, and
mortgaged the balance; and when
he built the house he only mort
gaged only three-fourths of that,
and so it'oomes about I can buy
the house for twenty thousand dol
lars, and only pay five thousand
down, and tiie rest can stand ou
mortgage at seven per cent; all I pay
is a little over one thousand dol
lars a year rent for mg .fine house.”
Thus the contractors and buiidiers
kept on building and thus the peo
ple kept on buying. And now we
must nave our parks to match our
houses” and no matter if tiie city is
in debt, we must “look out for the
future,” and our city must look as
attractive us our competitors,
or wo shall lose trade; and, then, you
know, we can issue bonds, and all we
shall liavo to pay is the Interest; and
thus the parks are made, the im
provements are made, and the taxes
are increased. Now our railroads
must bo constructed, and as they are
sure to pay “big” there is no risk in
undertaking them. The Government
will lend us their bonds, which we
can sell; will also give us lands,which
we can sell, and then we can give our
own bonds in addition, and the road
is sure to pay an enormous profit to
us who build it. And then, after pay
ing ail runniug expenses, taxes, in
terest, &c., it must pay a large divi
dend to the stockholders, and so the
roads are constructed. Much was the
condition of the country from 1865
to 1873. Everybody was busy, all
branches of trade were seemingly
prosperous, for so much activity
iti large enterprises affected every
branch of trade, “and all went merry
as a mni Huge Loll.” Now comes 1873,
and we find that the extent to which
we have gone lias involved the neces
sity of paying an enormous sum for
interest. The interest on the nation
al debt must be paid, the interest on
tho city debt must bo paid, the inter
est on tiie mortgage on tint house
must be paid, and to pay all these,
and save anything towards paying off
the principal, economy mast be prac
ticed. Now, as soon as economy Lo
gins, trade begins to lessen. It also
comes about, that the railroads wo
have built do not pay, und, therefore,
we are obliged to stop; and wtnjn we
stop building railroads, and employ
ing labor and materials, then every
branch of trade is affected, from the
iron merchant down to the confec
tioner, who sells candy to tho children
of the workmen who work in the
mines.
And now we have come to tho con
dition of tiie country to-day; and
what is it? We call it “hard times,”
and wc look for better. How is it
that bettor are to come ? Excepting
as there is an overstock of manufac
tured goods in the market, which
when consumed will make room for
more, we can see no prospect for a
greater demand. The country is, at
tho present time, consuming to tho
full amount of a legitimate and
healthy consumption, and tho fact of
dull trade is owing to a much larger
number being engaged in it than the
necessities of the people require.
While so much extra work was being
done, every branch of business was
rapidly extended, and new recruits
added to the number already ill the
service. But it, was Impossible for
such things to last.
The builder built more houses
than he could sell, and his interest
has been eating up the profits he had j
previously made. The man who
bought the house has found that he
could not afford it, and he lias had to
sell at a loss and retrench. The rail
roads have stopped their extravagant
expenditures, and a normal, healthy
consumption has commenced. The
only way for trade to adapt itself to j
this state of affairs is by the weeding
process; those that are weak must re- 1
tire, and then the present amount,
divided among the remaining, will j
give a fair amount to each. Traders |
must be less in numbers, producers
must be more, before we can have
‘good times” among the mercantile
classes. Yonrs truly,

In the present state of mining 4,6001
feet is a greater depth than it is pos- i
sible to mine coal. The deepest mines j
in England, scarcely exceeding 2,00(1 j
feet, possess a temperature of 85 deg.
At 3,000 feet the heat of the mines
would be over 100 deg., and at 4,000
feet it Avould be 120 deg. Rapidly
waving currents of air may reduce
these temperatures several degrees,
and compressed air may still
further cool the workings; but newer
discoveries in ventilation must bo
made before 4,000 feet can bo reached.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the
cow'* udder and kept dry for yenra, then mol*,
toned, ami the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
in it ami drawn gently ou the arm, Bu a* not to
draw the blood, will so impregnate and change
the entire system as to prevent tho party vac
cinated from taking the moat loathsome din
eases (small pox) for an entire life; again. If the
Celebrated Eucalyptus'tree will change an unin
huhitablo malarial diutrict into a healthy, salu
brious dime, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphere the poison malaria, why will not the
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and
destroy the poison, known as malaria, aud thna
enable partie* to inhabit malarial dißtricta with
impunity?
Wo claim that there is such a remedy, and that
we have prepared it. and applied it, aud proved
it in our Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt—aud
tiiat persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
tho worst malarial districts without the fear of
having auy diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills and Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and
Hplecu, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoid*, aud that' it will cure all the above din
oaHcs, except tho worst cases of Billiouß aud Yel
low Fever.
This i* called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, a* it corrects the humors of tbe oody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, ami thu* enabling it to per.orm its various
duties without fearing tho effects of malaria iu
the least.
It ha* been tried in thousands of cases without
;i failure.
They can be obtained from the proprietors in
auy quantity at the Powell Building, Junction of
Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price for a *ingle Belt $3. or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cure or the money refunded.

is stamped upon them.

Caution.— This Belt or Pad, like all articles of
merit, i* being imitated by parties who ary try
ing to put up u worthless article, a* there is not
a living person, besides ourselves, that knows
the ingredients in it. We are the patentees, and
have our Belt protected by a Traile Mark.
Sure Cure. —ln another column will be found
two remarkable certificates about the efficacy of
Dr*. Willson A Love’s Malarial licit*. The diffi
culty in the way of using these licit* is that they
are so simple that few can believe that there is
any virtue iu them. When a patient i* told to
use oue he U very much like Naamau when told
thut, to cure his leprosy, he had only to bathe in
the river Jordan. Hou. Jobu E. Ward say* that
during hi* stay in Chiua, a* Minister, these belts
were used with great as preventives of
cholera. We know a case where a lady had been
buffering with chills for more than a year, and
was finally induced to adopt one of these belts.
Bhe ha* uot had a return of the chills since, and
she is fully persuaded that It is owing to tbe belt.
Dr. Willson's terms are very fair—no cure, no
pay.

Messrs. Love A Willson: Gentlemen—ln Aprl
last I was taken sick with regular Fevor and
Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had
run ou mo for two weeks, I was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all
medicine, aud simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, aud my Ague became lighter each suc
cesaive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe
tite und clear skin; aud in future, if I should ever
have a Chill or Ague, I would want one of your Pads,
und no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
ho unfortunate as to have Chills and Fever may
be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts,
I am, respectfully, etc.,

Some nine year* ago I contracted malaria in

the very hour 1 first received them, one to one of

and other remedies, and that they failed till they
put ou tho pad; since then they have had no more

Drs. Love A Willson, Atlanta, Ga:—Gentle
men—l have been a sufferer from cbills and fever
for (19) nineteen years, aud have used all of the
popular remedies, but only had temporary relief
until about three months since, I ws* induced, by
your agent, Captain W. R. White, to wear one of
your ••Anti-Marial Belts.” I have not had a chill
since putting It on. It has enabled me to look
after my farming interest more closely, and ex
pose myself to rain aud sunshine more than for
nineteen years. It has been worth to me, in
feelings ami absolute results, not less than five
hundred dollars.
I cheerfully recommund it to all ••shakers.”
