A BROTHER Jfar ESCAPER FROM MAKRY INO Hltf SISTER. 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. Y. WorUl. 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. A Pultney <N. Y.lgiri putin agood ten hours’ work the other day.

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, Kinsman, Boston, September, 1875. 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.

Omaha, Sept. 28.—The latest tele grams from Red Cloud Agency, un der date of the 95th, report no further disturbances since tiie hostile attitude of the Wild Northern Sioux in the presence of the Commissioners, on tho 24th. Considerable anxiety is still felt, however. Twenty head chiefs wont into Council on the 25th, and suid they would not meet the Commissioners for two days. Maj. Burk’s Indians, of Standard Rock Agency, left for home on tiie 25th, expressing disgust at tho delay of tho treaty. Others who were most anxious, arc now assuming a hostile attitude. Bed Cloud Agency, Sept. 28.—The Commissioners have decided not to meet the Indians again until they determine what they will do. The chiefs have been holding a Council.

At the regular opening hour, tills morning, the factory whistles blew, and all tho mills threw open their doors to such as would accept work on the terms of tiie manufacturers. Many availed themselves of the opportunity, and nearly all the mills started a few looms. In an interview, this morning, with a prominent manufacturer, he said, “I think by to-morrow morning eve ry mill will bo running its full pow er. The only thing that keeps them out to-day is tho fear of violence.” The streets present a lively appear ance, being occupied by groupes of operatives discussing the probable turn of affairs. Soldiers are inarch ing to and fro. They will probably return home to-night. No fears arc entertained at all by our people. The operatives are willing lo submit to almost anything for tiie sake of work. Blip ill Hlllltll. New Your.

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.

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. 49* Read tho following certificates: Atlanta, Ga., Juno 6,1875. 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., W. J. Wilson. Atlanta, Ga., Juue 3,1875. Dn*.

J. M. Mathews. Cannon House, Atlanta, Ga., Junel, 1875. Some nine year* ago I contracted malaria in Savannah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at times, ever siuce, until I met up with Drs. Love A Willson'* Anti-malarial Belt some three mouth* ago. I have worn it continually, and have hadn chill siuce, and find my general health, which has been poor, much improved. I would recoin mend it to others suffering with malaria. R. A. Wallace. Macon, Ga., June 4,1876. Friend Hodgson: 1 received your letter of the 26th ult., on yesterday, I have been off on a fish ing excursion and just returned. The people of this town don’t chill worth sc*nt yet. I have sold two of the pads, and that I did the very hour 1 first received them, one to one of rtur conductors, and to Mr. Vaughn, a Clerk in the office. They both say that they tried Quinine and other remedies, and that they failed till they put ou tho pad; since then they have had no more Chills or Fever, and they recommend them to ev erybody. * m * * * Alex.
