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. ♦ • It, never rains but it pours. On top of the indictments of the President’s friends at St. Louis, and the possible impeachment of himself as a party to the whiskey frauds, here we have Mr. Lane, tho newly elected Con gressman front Oregon, collecting material for what is claimed will be a startling expose to be made at. the approaching session of tho condition of affairs in Alaska under the man agement of the Alaska Commercial Company and the military authori ties which there take the place of a Territorial government,. The ball is rolling. A f.vumeb in Hartwell planted one kernel of superior corn last year, and gathered from it live ears. This year he planted tho five ears, and a short: time ago he gathered the crop t which j amounted to 82) poun Is in the car,! or about ten bushels. The product j is a very One one. Who says tlmt . I wo cannot raise our own corn? ! There was a rector in England j who, after his establishment in a j i parish, preached the same nerraon to j his congregation Sunday after Suri | day—a very good sermon, but always | the same. At last the farmers sent a deputation to request a change. “Very well,” said tho rector, “but ! now let any one of you tell me all about that sermon.” Not a person i could give an account. “Then,” re sumed theclergvman, “I’ll continue to preach ittiil I’m sure you all know what it contains.” ; It is believed In Washington that ex-Judge Fisher will be appointed successor to the disgraced Judge | Durell in the Federal Court of Louisi- I ana. Fisher was forced out of the 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. It is estimated from such census returns as have been published this yea - that the population of the Union i is aoout 46,250,000. 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. Hunk* FUNERAL OF W. B. ASTON. Nf.vv York, Nov. 27.—Tho Mutual Benefit Savings Bank has suspen ded. Tho funeral of \V. B. Astor, mil lionaire, was celebrated this morn ing at Trinity Chapel, West 25th street. There was a large attendance. Bishop Potter and Revs. Morgan, Dixie C. Houghton, H. Miller,Thomp- j sou, and J. W. Moore, were inside the chancel-rail.

It was mounted with mas sive silver handles and rested on a cat afalque of black velvet. Seventeen beautiful wreaths of japonicas, tube roses, smilax and tea roses, wero on the casket. A large crown, com posed of eamelias, toa roses and smi lax, was at the foot of tho catafalque. The pall-bearers were ex-Gov. Dix, Judge Daly, Hon. Samuel Buggies, and Messrs. Hoppin, Brevoort, Lord, Gallatin and Ludlow. Among the spectators in the church were Peter Cooper, cx-Gov. Morgan, ex-Judge Bosworth, and A. T. Stewart, j The services wore brief, consisting of I the simple Episcopal ritual for tho dead. The clerical portion of tho services wore conducted by the Bish op. After services the remains were taken to Trinity Church cemetery. II KI kTA iu(i>. RACKS POSTPONED —FIRE —O’HARA THE WAI.KIBT. SjKM iul to tho Daily Timka by S.iA. Lldo. 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 esting affair Monday, when the best! races of the season take place. A fire broke out last night on the premises of Jerry Bunch, Broad st., at half-past 8 o’clock, but was dis covered in time to prevent serious damage. Loss estimated at $200; in sured.

Madrid, Nov. 27.—1 t is ascertained, officially, that negotiations with the United States are proceeding favor ably, and the relations between the two countries may be regarded as ex ce.lent. 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. —•— F.vcoilllon. Monroe, La., Nov. 27.
