THE VOUMD A!Aft! THE LOST.
BY SUSAN B. LONG.
There hud been a terrible storm
along the coast, and the rumor bad
reached us that the “Eva Gore” was
lost, with all on board. Then came
the torturing suspense of broodinx
hope and despair. Oil! the weary
Jays! and oh ! the weary nights!
sleepless, tearful nights, for which
morning had no brightness in store.
News came at last. The dreadful
U'i j rtainty gave place to the more
and resultul eertaiuiy. The officers of a
vessel just arrived in New York, re
ported having passed the wreck of
tlie “Eva Gore, ’ a few days previous
ly. Thore was no doubt about the
matter at all; the name was distinct
ly visible, and there wus every indi
cation, that every soul on board had
perished.
How eold and unfeeling this lan
guage seems! as though 1 wereehron
ieling the merest bit of ordinary gos
sip. Bat, tny heart aches and my
tears How, as the memory of that sea
son of bitter suffering comes back
again.
Alden Yorke was mate of “Eva
Gore.” He had been my playmate
through infancy and childhood, my
lover and affianced husband during
the bright fleeting years since. A few
short weeks more, on his return from
this voyage, we were to he married.
He waste give up the sea, and we
were to sett ie down u (ion a farm, close
by the old people -his parents and
initio, and peace, content and happi
ness were to wait upon our steps ever
alter.
This was what I fondly imagined;
but now all was Changed. The dark
ness, and chill, and horror, of the
grave had swallowed up.every hope.
All the beauty and gladness of my
life had gone with tlie mortal form
of my loved one, down, down beneath
the cruel, treacherous wave of the re
morseless oceun. And not for me
alone had existence thus suddenly
become a pain undatortue Even in
my own despair. I was not blind to
the suffering of my dear old friends
—tny almost parents—tlie father and
mv mother, my lost Alden. He was
their only son, tlie light of their eyes,
ami the pride of their hearts; and his
float return, our marriage, and plans
for our future establishment, had oc
cupied their minds, and furnished
nearly the sole subject of their con
versation for the last half year.
Well, we boro our grief with what
patience and resignation we could—
as others have done, and are doing,
and will continue to do, while the
world stands and two y ears dragged
slowly by. Long before this time,
Mrs. Yorke and mys 1’ had abin
doned all thoughts of over seeing our
loved one again, .till tlie sea shall
give up its dead; out Mr. Yorke, al
though he bud for the last few
months refrained from dwelling upon
the subject as In* had done at first—
relieaising possible chances of rescue,
and rehearsing remarkable instances
of such nature which he had heard or
read of still, it was evident to us,
that he clung to the deceitful hope
that, “his bov” would yet return.
llut the doubt, the anxiety, the
“hope deferred,” bore harder upon
him than the dread certainty would
have done. He was restless and
nervous; sometimes unnaturally
cheeful, and again gloomy and silent.
His health gave away- symptoms of
heart disease manifested themselves,
to our great comern and tie "grew
old” much faster than did his wife.
At their urgent desire, and in pity
for their loneliness, I Imd taken up
mv residence with them permanent
ly." They treated me in all respects
as their child, and I, in turn, gave
tli in the love and respect of a;
daughter—second, only, to what 1
felt for my own parents.
One evening, during a severe north
east B‘orm the kind which were the|
most dangerous upon the Jersey)
coast we were sitting, gloomy and
low-spirited, listening to the howling i
of tlie wind, tlie dashing of the rain,
and the distant roaring of tlie surf,
when there came a hesitating knock
at the outer door. I hastened to open
it, and encountered upon the thresh
hold, ast ranger, a foot traveler ap
parently, for he carried avalise upon
a stick over his shoulder, who asked,
in low and deprecating tones, if we
would kindly give him shelter for
the night. Without hesitating for
the stranger and the needy, never
turned in disappointment from the |
door I bade him enter and welcome.
I took him to the warm kitchen,
gave him drv garments for which to
exchange his dripping ones, and af
ter pressing him to partake the food,
which he declined, conducted him
into the sitting room, feeling glad,
all the while, that something had
transpired to break in upon our
mournful thoughts, and hoping that
he would find it in his heart to be
talkative and entertaining, in return
for my trouble. Even the merest
gossip, I felt, would bean agreeable
change from the gloomy taciturnity,
which, in spite of us, had seemed
likely to prevail vhroughout the even
ing.
I soon found, however, that we
need exjiect nothing from our guest,
In the way of entertainment. He
took the chair, I had placed for him
near the glowing grate; muttering
something about weak eyes, as he
did so, seated himself, and shading
his face with his hand, relapsed into
silence. Mr. Yorke made one or two
attempts to draw him into conversa
tion, but without success. He re
plied in a constrained, hesitating
manner, as thpugh laboring under
an impediment in his speech, and al
ways In the fewest words possible.
I had somehow got the impression
THE DAILY TIMES.
that ho was a young matt, though of
his face fail the lower part of which,
was hidden by his heavy dark beard J
I hud as yet obtained but a ]>artinl
Mr. Yorke watched him furtively;
and at last, after a silence of some
ten minutes or more, during which
time the storm had seemed to rage
with increasing violence, he made
another effort towards sociability.
“This is a fearful night for the
coasters,” said he moving his chair a
little, so as to sit facing his guest.
"Yes. truly it is,” the stranger re
sponded, evincing mote interest than
he had hitherto shown. "You and I
may well feel thankful that we are
on solid land to-night.”
“Have you ever followed the sea?’
—asked Mr. Yorke, looking keenly at
him and trying to obtain a better
view of his face, which was partially
concealed by his hand.
"Yes for several years,” was tho re
ply.
“A coaster, ordid you trade to other
cmintries?” queried Mr. Yorke.
"Both, though the latter mostly!”
was the reply.
' You have undoubtedly seen some
rough times,” said Mr. Yorke.
"Were you ever wrecked yourself, or
did you ever meet with other vessels
in tiiat condition?” He was growing
excited and nervous. Mr. Yorke and
I exchanged anxious and sorrowful
glances. 'Poor weak old man,” I
thought, now he hopes to hear some
thing of our lost one,” and dreading
the effect upon him of so exciting an I
object, we both tried repeatedly to
cuango it, hut ineffectually ; for, not
only Mr. Yorke, but. the stranger,
persistently returned to it, and fol
lowed it up, after interruption by us.
Finally, the stranger related in his
slow, stammering, labored way, how
be had utioe been shipwrecked; how
his shipmates one after another had
perished before his sight; how he
had given up all hope of rescue, and
was momentarily expecting to share
the same fate, when a friendly sail
hove in sight; and lastly, how he was
almost miraculously saved.
Mr. Yorke’s nervous excitement in
creased alarmingly during this reci
tal, Mrs. Yorke and myself wore
scarcely less agitated ; it brought, so
vividly to our minds the sufferings
of another and “a dearer one,” to
whom uo friendly succor was vouch
safed.
*How long ago was this'.-' -aid Mr.
Yorke, tremulously with emotion,
whilst it seemed as t hough he would
pierce the stranger through and
through, so searchingly did he study
him from head to foot.
"Lot’s see,” was the hesitating re
ply. “It wus about the time you
remember, do you when tho Eva
Gore was lost?”
“Hold, sir!” shouted Mr. Yorke,
rising to his feet, and supporting
himself by tlie arm of Ids chair, while
he bent towards our gueSfs. “Hold,
sir! You are feigning! you are dis
guising your speech! Let me see
your face! Remove your hand, and
look at me! Great God, it’s him!
Its my boy! I knew it !” and with a !
shuddering moan, he sunk back
senseless in tiis chair.
In my concern for him. tny terror
tor the consequences of this fearful
excitement, in the feeble slate of his
health, I had failed to take in the
full meaning of his agitated exclama
tions. And even now lam unable to
say when the knowledge tlrst forced
itself upon my mind that the man
who was bending so wildly over the
still form of my dear old friend,
calling him "father,” and uttering
broken sentences - now or' grief and
pity for him, but more oftenof blame
for himself,.tiiat he had done this
rash thing, all tho whileehatlng the
fast stiffening lingers, or otherwise
assisting us in our endeavors to re
call it to life and animation—that
this was really and in fact. Alden
Yorke.
That the consciousness did come to
me during that fearful time, 1 am
certain ; for I knew we spoke to each
other-asking and replying to ques
tions, and directing ouch other in our
hurry and agitation; but I experi
ence neither surprise nor joy; grief
and anxiety at the situation of my
friend and second father having for
the time swallowed ttpnll other emo
tions.
All our efforts, assisted by those of
kind neighbors and our family physi
cian, proved of no avail. The >■ lioek, |
loan already weakened frame, was
too much. That one blissful moment
of recognition was all that tlie mor
tal senses of the loving old man I
could bear.

who, after his establishment in a j

j his congregation Sunday after Suri

deputation to request a change.
“Very well,” said tho rector, “but

; It is believed In Washington that
ex-Judge Fisher will be appointed
successor to the disgraced Judge

S District of Columbia Judgeship be
cause of his connection with the
! District ring swindles. But while
Judge he served Boss Shepherd well,
and the latter, like Grant, believes
in his friends, and is on confidential
terms with the occupant of the White
House. Besides, Fisher is for the
third term.

COLUMBUS, GA., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 28. 1875.
Whiskey Hunt Trial*.
St. liotns, Nov, 27. -The Avery
trial continued to-day. Several wit
nesses testifled that Joyce showed
their letters purporting to ho from
Avery and Babcock, hut none of
them could identify the handwriting.
The letters pretended to notify the
Ring of the coming of Treasury
Agents, Alfred Bernls, of Bernls &
Frazer. One of the witnesses on
cross examination, said he had been
informed that Secretary Bristow was
interested In tho firm of Newcomb,
Buchanan & Cos. This created a sen
sation in Court, and Gen. Henderson
said if the defence would show that
Bristow was a member of the Ring,
the prosecution would have him in
dicted at once.
J. F. Joseph, Chief Clerk of the
Provision of Accounts iu the office of
the Commissioner on Internal Reve
nue, testified he sent Avery to St,
Louis in 1872 to examine accounts
of Revenue Agent Gunther. Avery
made a verbal report on his return,
t Imt Gunther's accounts wore correct.
Met Avery on tho street in
December 1872, and ho re
marked that Joyce was going to
send ns a Christmas present. In
February following Avery handed me
a package containing SIOO. I told
Avery he should return it to Joyce,
assuming it came from him; to which
Avery replied, “I need not do thatj
as it was sent in such a manner that I
no trouble could come of it.” I im
mediately bought a draft for SIOO,
mailed it to Joyce at St, Louis, and
reported the matter to Deputy
Commissioner Rogers. The latter
spoke to Avery about it and Avery
told him ho intended to return his
money also, which I understood he
did, The draft was returned to me
in a few days with the indorsement
erased and without a word of
explanation from the store
keeper there. He testified that
Joyce repeatedly showed him letters
purporting to come from Avery and
Babcock. Did not know handwrit
ing. The famous dispatch received
here four days before the seizuro was
from Barnes, traveling agent of New
comb, Buchanan A Cos., Louisville,
who seemed to know all about it.
Witness had been informed that Sec
retary of Treasury was interested in
tho linn of Newcomb, Buchanan &
Cos.

Augusta, Nov. 27.— The best races
of the week were posted for Friday,
but owing to bad weather they have
been postponed till Monday. There
was a small crowd at the race-track
this afternoon to witness two races—
the first, a mile dash between Mollie
Darling, Askit and Jack Trigg. Mol
lie won the race, being one length j
ahead of Trigg, Time 1:5lli.
The second was an interesting hur
; die race, four entries—Busy Bee,
| Charles Cheatham, Brooklyn and
| Gray Stockings one mile and a half
1 over six hurdles. Busy Bee was the
i favorite, but Charlie “Cbeat”ed ’em
| out of it, and won the race and the
j applause of the crowd for his splen
did leaping. Brooklyn second; Busy I
Bee third. Time 3:05.
Prof. O’Hara was present, and was
to have walked against some horse,
but owing to a misunderstanding the ,
animal did not put in an appearance. |
We will probably witness this inter- j

A Xom Dlsrevrry.
New York, Nov. 27.—Mr. T. A. Ed
ison, the electrician of tho Southern
& Pacific Telegraph Company, while
experimenting with light us a force,
has made a discovery which promises
to revolutionize telegraphy. Mr.
Edison claims that, his experiments
have resulted in the discovery of a
new force of a nature similar to
electricity and possessing its efficien
cy without being subject to many of
the Influences which affect the latter.
A remarkable feature in tho newly
discovered force is that the earth
has no effect upon it as a conduetor
whatever. Wires operated by tiiis
new agent, can work perfectly, lying
on the ground, or in any other po
sition, so long as they are unbroken.
G lass, however, is a conductor.
Mr. Edison intends to pursue his
investigations with tho view of ap
plying the now force to telegraphic
uses. It will have inuumerous ad
vantages over tho present method.
The current will not be interrupted
by anything short of a complete
breakage of the wires, instead of
being influenced by every variation
of atmosphere or change in position,
as at present. Wires cun be laid
along railroad trucks under the rails,
und a largo proportion of l lie heavy
cost of constructing lines as now
used will thus be averted.

Victoria, Nov. 27.—The Coroner’s
jury find the Pacific should not have
been injured by her collision if she
were sound and substantial. The
collision was caused by the Orpheus
being improperly steered. The
watch on deck of the Pacific was in
sufficient. The Pacific had 238 per
sons on board and five boats. The
boats could not be handled by reason
of an insufficient and undisciplined
crew. The Captain of the Orpheus
sailed without trying to ascertain
