career during the past three years has

narrow escapes from tragic death.
She is now on her way home after a
protracted absence, which had led her
friends to suppose she was dead, as
she had been unable to communicate
with tlicm since 'leaving home until
very recent'y. : In relating her story
she said her natne is Annie Jac'3011 ;

the ship was damaged and delayed,
and had to run into a ' small port to
make repaira.1 eventually ; reaching
Havana on the 23d of -August. liss
Jackson applied to the American
Consul, and he, after hearing her
stor , insisted upon her making the
Consulate her home" fnntil he could
provide, means for-Iter to" return to the
United States. He laid the facia as
related to him" before the State De
partment, but nothing concerning Miss
Jackson had been presented to the
attention of the authorities. While
preparing to jo aboard the next steam

story (was taken

atul remained for a longtime seriovsly
ill 'and convalescent. The. Consul af
terward furnished her with money and
passage on the mail sterner, and on :
tlie 18th of December she started for
Mew York. i,.TL.c leanier put into
Cl;arIostou hatbor for coal, and in an
ticipation of its remaing some .time
Miss Jackson went up into the city.
Unfortunately, she got left, and had
to seek assistance among eutire strau
gers. j Idealizing ber deplorable situa
tion, he hired put as a servant in a
family, remaining for' about eight
months on a pitiful salary which was
barely sufiicient to clothe her. ' She
gradually made her way from one city
to another, consuming a year from the
time she left " Charleston before she
arrived at Richmond, Va. She did not
know the way borne, and all to whom
she told her story ' -t '

But phe was persevering and ' saving
all the tirVie, arid never allowed herself
to "become downcast. At Richmond
she worked for a Mr. Iverson, a weal
thy tobacconist, who became interest
ed'in her story last fall, and personally,
set about asserting the truth of it. He
visiied Washington, and learned what
had been forwarded from t e Consul
at Havana, and then put himself in cor
respondence with 3ir Jackson, Ami ie's
father, in Texas. Becoming ! satisfied
that all was right, he assisted her to
proceed home, end a: happier . woman
was never known than she as the went
through Quincy and drew. nearer ber
destitialion. " Jjhe will be met; by one
of her brothers at some point on the
Missouri, Kansas aud Texas railroad,

on her way home. The other- brother

At one time during the late w ar
wheu the confederate lines in Virginia
were heavily pressed, Gen. Lee issued
an order that no furlough should be
grouted except to men who wished to
go home for the purpose of being mar
ried, and that some evidcuce cf r the
sincerity of their purpose .should ac"

We recently, had something Id say
ou the subject of the prophecies to
often credited to Mother Sbipton
which she did not write, but irMeh
were written after the events "pn
dieted" had occurred. Tbtr Ktnr
York "Journal of Comra3TCe,f etf
Wednesday last tells us about her and
them, as follows : .
Mother Soiptoii was a fcrltabfo
character who lived more than 900
years ago, and uttered ' a nunrbrr of
so-called prophecies. Tbey were, fat
the' .most part, : a vague unmcninhig
jumble of seeming predictions, ftp
plicable to no special event, and.
without point or general !nterestr--In
1641 a pamphlet containing a med
ley of this sort, chiefly ir. ha! ting
verse, was printed in London, ami
her Life and curious' PropherieV
were given to the public la 167
In 18C2 Mr. Xharlei ilindiey, of
Brighton, England; issued what pur
ported to be an exact i reprint of "A
Chap.book vjrsion" of Mother Buipw
ton's prophecies, from edition of ;
1818." In thia, for the first jtlme
there were point and pith and special
application. All modern discoveries
were plain fully described and obe
prophecy which bean.

and set forth the railroads, telegraphs,
steamers, and otrier modern kiventioos

any ihiug of its source denouced it as a
forgery. , An English paper replied
that it was an exact reprint of the old
edition fr nearly 250 years on fi.e ia
the British Museum and learred that
there was, a cbap-b xk of that title
beariagdate .1641; another of 1642
containing what purported to t

curious prophecies date I658J 1662,
1675; and "Mother Sbipton' s Life and
Curious Prophecies' complete la an

purchased the reprint and sent to bare ,

fraud bad been committed. Tbej old
prophecies were a vagne jumble of
local predictions that might have been
fulfilled at any and every decade wnoe
their date. All thstTAwintcd ani in
