C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1879. A Victim of Morphine, A young girl jumped from a bridge io Chicago into, tho river, with the intent tion of committing suicide, bet was rescued and taken to a station-house, A few moments after her incarceration tho girl was seen by a reporter io her cell. Sho was a revelation in tho way of peculiar and startling beauty. Her tangled masses of blue-black hair, yet damp from the recent search after noth ingness, wero hound back from a low, Clytie-like forehead in one deft Coil which wound about tho dainty brow as thoti-;!i it wero n crown. Reinialh dished ntul glowed n pair of great lumi nous eyes which sent out from their puzzling midnight depths wondrous inns of inquiry, doubt and question ing, over all ol which there seemed to oin'umto the hopclessncNS uf unutterable espair. The petite fi 'lire was arrayed wholly in black, relieved only nt tho throat by some little article of feminine adornment. What is your name?" queried Cap- lin O'O.imiell. "Mary I lays." Why did you try to kill yourself?" "ISecausc hut what's tho ujo of toll ing you?" Nobody in this big world cares for me, and if I choose to end my misery, why, iu God's name, should I bo prevented?" ' Haven t you any mends? "Friends? No; not one. If I had do you snpposo I'd have been doing kitchen-work drudgery to keep soul and body together?" "Hut you seem an unusually lady like, intelligent girl. What is the matter?" Matter I K you lelt yourself grap pled with honks of steel, and knew your destiny was dragging you straight down to the lowest pit, could you stand it to face hour by hour that owful tor ment of a remorseless habit and fight as havo fought. Matter? Tho matter is Canl't stop using morphine. Look at mo now I js.iuiiiu ttie imrs oi a com mon i ill, bedraggled, unkempt, an out cast. MytJodl Mr God I why didn't you lot me die?" and Hinging herself on the hard wooden bench the poor thing sobbed ns it her heart would break. "How long have you used mor phine?" the reporter nsked. "F.ver sie.ee I was a child ol twelve. My mother ate it, and I, a poor, s:l!y Kchoolgiil, would steal from her box little quantities of the drug It seemed a grand thing then, and I would conjure up tho most gorgeous visions ono ever saw or heard of. For a while the habit didn't interfere with mo, but at last it bound m? about with the most awful chains. You men," Bhe continued, "may despise and sneer at mo now, but ii's not so very long sinco you'd havo been glad to know mo and lift your hats when I passed along tho street i. I was born in New Orient s, and my father tvas for eight years State treasurer of Arkansas.

"You sec, shontlomcns, I do no pees- nes, nnd my family cuts up nil der tits, explained the tradesman by tiy of excuso. '1 mi owo uie $12," said one, "and each of these olbers if 15 upioco.

Or tho pnsi lion ol tliesa royal lavontes ono may judge from tho fact that last year the united income ot tho three princesses amounted to $32G,!i30 a year. Tho value of their jewelry may bo imagined from tho fact that in the recent crisis it was ia contemplation to raise fivo mil lion dollars en this security aiono. IU sides these ladies there are others too numerous to mention. Tho harem which accompanied his highness into exile consisted, besides tho three pun cesses (the mother Princo Towfik re rani dug behind,) of sixty woman alt;)- gelliT, including twenty female slaves, It took sixty of the vicoregal carriages to convey the party from the pahro of Abdin to the railway station, nnd ten meii-wf-ivai's boats to pud ark tho fair travelers at Alexan "tin.
