THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 101891. HAUNTS HIM STILL. ADVERTISEMENTS. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS., NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. DO YOU KNOW 1891. 1891. Edgar sanborn's search tor the woman he loved in his youth. Edgar Sanborn, of San Joso, Cal., has been in the city for some time looking for the abode of a young woman, an early aweetheart, who, in later years, nursed him oo the field ofShiloh. Mr. Sanborn is a man of medium height, smooth face, and quiet manners, and whose years had pawed beyond the halt century line. He has been noticed about the Girard House -corridors, but only during the evenings. While it was day-light he has been spend ing his time in his remarkable search. He is a wealthy man and a bachelor who bag cherished an image of youthful love liness in his heart for more than thirty jears. He was rather reluctant about ipeaking of his visit to Philadelphia. "This is a subject," he said, "that for Rome reasons I would rather not discuss, jet it might be as well that you should know why I am here. I left the Pacific coast almost a month ago and came to Philadelphia, where for the past two weeks I have been hunting a young wo man; that is, she will always be young to me, though it now is about twenty-eight years since I last saw her. I am a native of Philadelphia, and when the question that precipitated the country into civil combat was discussed in every household in the land I was strongly in sympathy with the southern people. I believed, and still believe that they were right. At the time I was the constant wooer of Miss Eleanor Maltby, of this city, who was about four years my junior. Her father, an only near living relative, was a strong believer in the doctrines of abolition. I one evening expressed contrary views. A terrible scene ensued. He cursed me and heaping maledictions on my head order d me from the house. After seeking to bid Miss Maltby good bye without sue cess, I left for the south. "Texas then was a wild country. A human life was held far cheaper than that of a horse, and well, I bad a good many encounters down there. Once I wrote to Eleanor a ud was gratified to learn that she still held a place in her heart for me. Some time after the news of the firing on Sumter shook this coun try from center to circumference. Guer rilla companies wci' lurnied in all parts of Texas, and I was oue of the tir.-t to enlist. At Shiloh I fell, wounded in the neck and arm. When taken from the field it was to a farm home near by, and there were several women there who tendered their kindly aid. I thought I noticed Miss Maltby among them, then I fainted from exhaustion. On the follow ing day we were removed to safe quar ters and I did not see her again. "Well, I recovered, and when the war was over I went to the gold and silver inineR of Nevada. I was rather success ful, and among the people I ran acron in that wild town, Carson City, was Sam Clemens, afterward known as Mark Twain. From the Sierra Nevadas I drifted to the Black Hillls, and in 1876 I struck a rich vein of ore which I closed out to a syndicate for a handsome price My bank account was beginniug to as sume respectable proportions, and then I went down to Texas, and bought a ranch, and afterward removed to Sau Jose, where I still live. "My heart yearned for the association of my early life. Not having any rela tives of my own to hunt up, I determined, if possible to find the Maltbyg. The only thing I have learned was that Miss Maltby and her father left the district of South Peon the year following the battle of Gettysburg. Then all traces of them come to an end. She may be married and still living here, but I can scarcely think such is the case. I believe that the would keep her word, and If I had found her and she was still willing, she would go to the extreme west as Mrs. Edgar Sanborn." Philadelphia Press. Mrs. Brown What makes that baby cry so, Benjamin? Mr. Brown (who is doing the peram bulating act) I'm pinching him. "Why, whs! in the world are you do ing that for?" "I can't keep awake long enough to get him to sleep unless he cries." A Little Girl's Experience In a Light house. Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keep ers pf the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand Beach, Mich., and are blessed with a doughter, four years old. Last April she . was taken down with Measles, followed 'with a dreadful Cough and turning into a Fever.
