about two years ago because she re
cited to a select audience in Wash
ington. I. C, the popular poem o
''Ostler Joe," a piece which speaks
of woman's temptation, her fall and
her forgiveness by the injured
husband. Her principal sup-
Iort is Mr. Kyrle Bel lew, an
English actor, who has won distinc
tion in the profession and who will
play liomco to the Juliet of Mrs
Potter. He has also won distinction
from the fact that a young lady in
New York has fallen so desperately
in love with him that, finding she
could not win him for a husband,
has determined to kill him, and has
made one or two unsuccessful at
tempts to that purpose. She is a
lady of refinement, with a fortune
at her command, and it is the en
deavor of her relatives to have her
confined in an asylum in order to
prevent her from doing harm or
creating any further scandal.

, A Tale of the Sea.
Capt, Patrick, of the wrecked
schooner Wiiliam d- Richard, which
sailed from this port for the Wes
Indies, a few days after' Christmas
arrived in New York on Wednesday
from Liverpool, with his wife, two
children and two .sailors of the
wrecked vessel, We clip from the
New York Star:
"We were wrecked." said the
captain, "on the Thursday after
Christmas, when about sixty-five
miles off Frying-pan lightship, Wil
mington, N. U. At the time we were
on our way from Wilmington to the
West Indies with a load oi lumoer.
The weather was very heavy and
from the constant strain the Wil
liam & Richard sprung a leak. She
filled rapidly and after threfedays of
peril, on Dec. 31 we were rescued by
the steamer Timour, which carried
us to Liverpool. .1.x
When the schooner's deck was al
most flush withlthe water Captain
Patrick took his eldest daughter, a
girl of 10 years, from the cabin
which was half full of water, fini
lashed her to the mainmast. Short
lv after the mainmast was carried
away and with it his daughter. One
of the sailors, a colored man named
Frank Davis, leaped into the sea ta
the rescue. The spar turned in tne
water, so that the young woman was
on the upward side. Davis leaped
so close to thespar that he was able
to swing one arm around it. AVith
his free hand he cut the lashings,
and one of the men fluncr him a rope
with which he was drawn back to
schooner with his precious charge.
The water was frightfully cold and
both the young girl and her rescuer
mi tiered terriblv from their cold
plunge.
Shortly after this excitincr episode
tne iimour novo in sight and res
cued all hands from the rapidly
sinking vessel. At Liverpool all but
three sai lors embarked forNewiork.
The William find Richard was of
253 tons burden, and was owned in
Roston. After she was abandoned
she was twice seen floating with her
decks washed by the flea.
