A Strange Story.
I was stationed at Agra during the
Cabal disaster in 1841, one of a mere
handful of British troops, left in charge
of the wives, sisters and daughters of
the actors in that most unhappy expe
dition. And a weary, heart-breaking
time it was. The lieutenant-governor,
who had prayed and besought the Cal
cutta authorities not to risk' the adven
ture, had the worst forebodings of its
fate ; and although he did all an able,
kindly, and well-mannered man could
do to maintain the spirits of the circle,
those who knew him could read too
well what his fears were. Words could
not describe (indeed it is painful for
me even now to recall the dreary
wretchedness of that fatal month,
during which no tidings came of the
devoted army. Evening after evening
saw the roads crowrded by anxious
women, sitting there for hours that
they mighty hear the first news of those
who were dear to them, and evening
after evening saw them return in des
pair. And when at last the news came
that the sole survivor had staggered,
half alive, back to his countrymen,
with the tidings of the great disaster,
the wail which ascended from those
heart-broken creatures I shall never,
while I live, forget.
There had been a captain in one of
the native regiments, an old acquain
tance of mine, by the name of Donnelly,
Jerry Donnelly, as he was called by
everyone. He was careful to explain
to every one that his name was Jerome,
and not Jeremiah, although why he so
unduly preferred the saint to the pro
phet I never understood. Jerry Don
nelly, however, he was, and as strange
and eccentric a creature as ever breath
ed. He was a very good looking fellow
and a first-rate officer, but a careless,
rollicking, half insane madcap of a man,
with an amazing flow of spirits, little
education or culture, a great, almost
miraculous talent for languages, with a
soft heart and an easy temper. It was
impossible to make him angry, but in
all circumstances, however unpleasant,
he maintained a placid serenity, which
seemed to imply that he was on intimate
terms with fortune and knew the very
worst that she could do.
Among the other tricks which the
fickle goddess had played him was that
she had married him. Why he ever
married as he did no one could imagine.
The lady was neither handsome, clever,
nor rich. She was simply passable as to
looks,' with the liveliness of good health.
and youth, a quality not unapt to de
velop itself into a vivacity of temper
when those other attributes disappear,
But, on some impulse, Jerry Donnellv
had asked her the momentous question,
aud had been favorably answered.
A most uncomfortable couple they
were.; Jerry, from the very first, neg
lected her not intentionally, I be
lieve, but simply because for the mo
ment he forgot her existence. It never
seemed to him necessary to alter his
former bachelor round in any respect;
and as the lady had no notion of being
neglected, she resented his indifference,
and chalked out a line for herself. It
may be easily supposed that the one
was not adverse to brandy and water,
or the other to gossip and flirtation.
They never quarrelled outwardly! but
were hardly ever together.
So stood the domestic circle, if such
it could be called, of Captain Donnelly,
when he was ordered onGeheral Elphin
stone's expedition. His wife would
faiii have remained at Calcutta, but as
all the wives were going to Agraj she
for very shame was obliged to go there
also. 'On the first rumors of the disas
ter she was very , indifferent said she
was sure Jerry would turn up at the
most inconvenient time, and that if he
was happy, she was. When however,
the tidings were confirmed, and it was
certain that Jerry had perished with
his comrades, a great change (fame over
her. She shut herself up ffr months,
saw no one and went nowhere. And
when at the end of nearly a year she
began once more to look at the world,
she was a grave, thoughtful, softened
woman. She went up to Calcutta after
that, and 1 never saw her again until I
came home on furlough in 1874. She
was then living in a pretty place in
Somersetshire , and was Known as Mrs.
Courtnay, of Branley Hall. . r
I met her accidentally, imt she was
very-glad to see me, and Explained to
me what I had not heard, that .when
she had arrived at Calcutta, she found
that poor Jerry had, four xnonths before
he left Agra, succeeded to this place of
Branley Hall, by the death of a distant
relation. He had previously made a
will," leaving her all his worldly goods;
then slender enough, so that in the end
- - a ,t I - I I ii iM ,
this fine estate had come to her- and a
new name with it. She asked me to
; come down and see her, which I did.
and learned more of her history.
i
Sorrow and prosperity greatly chang
ed her for the better. Even her looks
had improved, and she was a pleasant,
j thoughtful and agreeable woman. She
had remained for years? in Calcutta be
fore she returned, but at once assumed
i the name ofCourtnay, which was a
condition on wThich the bequest was
made.
"You know, Colonel Hastings,
could not have lost the estate, for what
would poor Jerry have said when he
got back?"
I thought the woman's head must
have been affected bv her troubles, and
.said nothing.
I see you think me deranged, but 1
knew he was alive all the time.'
Why, what could have led you to
think so?"
: "I saw him. Colonel Hastinsrs. It
was in our old Bungalow at Calcutta,
about two years alter I got back. Late
in the evening I heard a footstep cut-
side which strangely affected me.
w as lying half asleep, and, starting up
in a drowsy state, I heard a voice at the
veranda, and, as I thought, inquiring
;of my stupid old native whether I lived
there. The steps then turned away.
I darted to the casement, and although
the figure was clad in the most extra
ordinary compound of European and
Asiatic garments,! am sure it was Jerry.
I darted down stairs and rushed out
but the man had disappeared. The
servant said he was a bad fakir, and
wished to get in the bungelow, but
could or would tell me nothing of what
he had said. But I am quite sure it wras
Jerry. So I am certain he will come
back. But you remember he never
was punctual," she added, with a faint
smile.
I did not say to her that if Jerry was
alive she must have heard of him in
some other way; but I took leave of
her, and shortly afterwards returned to
India.
In 1853, I was appointed to an embas
sy to Nepaul, a very striking country,
governed by a powerful warlike race.
The first minister or vizier of the coun
try met us, as in the Nepaulese fashion,
outside the capital, and we had a very
courteous and gratifying reception. He
was a tall, handsome man, with a flow
ing black beard, and conversed with
me in Persian, which I spoke fluently.
After our interview, one of the atten
dants informed me that the vizier wish
ed to see me alone, and he accordingly
conducted me to an inner apartment.
lie ordered the attendants to withdraw,
and then, in tones only too familiar, he
exclaimed :
'Well, Hastings, my boy, how go the
Plungers?"
It was" Jerry Donnelly, by all that
was miraculous. I had observed him
staring earnestly at me during the in
terview, and something in his gestures
seemed not unfamiliar to me ; but his
flowing beard, solemn air, and Oriental
dress, so much disguised him, that,
even when I heard his well-remembered
voice, I could scarcely realize his in
dentity. "But what on earth are you doing
here, Jerry?" said I, "and why don't
you go home to your wife, like a Chris
tian?" "My wife! well, that's the whole
affair. You see, she's somebody else's
wife, so I'm better out of the way ; it
would be a pity that poor Sophy should
commit bigamy."
"I assure you, you are entirely mis
taken. Mrs. Donnelly has not married
aga'n."
"Hasn't she, though? said he."
"Don't I know better? Didn't I go to
my bungalow and find out that she had
married that starched fool Courtnay,
when she knew I never could endure
him?"
. To his intense astonishment, I told
him how the truth was, and in return
he related to me his own adventures,
ne had been carried into Tartary, and
there detained for three years, when he
was allowed to accompany a caravan or
body of pilgrims to Xepaul. Being by
that time a proficient in the language,
he was taken notice of at court, but
very strictly watched. He effected his
escape, howevrr, disguised as a fakir,
and made his way to Calcutta; but find
ing, as he thought, his wife married
again to a man in his old regiment, he
returned, was taken into favor, and had
risen to his present distinction.
"Well, I always was a blundering
fool, but I went home with a heart so
'soft to Sophy, and vowing that I would
never vex her any more with my
vagaries, that when I heard her called
Mrs. Courtnay I was turned to stone,
and did not care a rap what became of
me, not even to be made a vizier, which
I assure you, Charlie, is no joke in its
way." '
"Well, at all events, you must come
home now and enjoy your good for
tune." "I am not sure about that," said he
"Recollect, she has grown accustomed
to bei mistress I have grpwn accus
tomed to be vizier; she won't like to be
contradicted, and it's a thing ! never
could bear, and what I never allowed
on any account. Now, if I went home,
she would not be mistress, and, as sure
as fate, she would contradict me. May
be it is better as it is."
Next morning he sent for me again.
"I have been thinking," he said, "of
all that strange story you told me. ! 1
am all changed since we parted, i I
hardly know myself to be the same man
I used to be, and am not sure that I
could treat Sophy well. But ask her
to come out here, and then she can try,
If she likes me in this outlandish place,
I will go home with her; if we quarrel
here no one will be a bit the wiser, arid
I can continue to be dead." j
"But," said I, "you have no incum
brances?" Perhaps she might object
to the details of your establishment!"
'Not a bit," said Jerry ; 'I have none
of your eastern prejudices ; let her come,
and she will findnobody to disturb her."
She did come, and after living in
Nepaul for two years, brought Jerry
back in triumph to Branley Hall ; and
such is the true version of a tale which
made some noise in the newspapers a
feiv years ago.
The Stars and Stripes In Turkey.
1 As I was hurrying through the streets
of Philippopoli thedaybefore yesterday,
an hour or two after we occupied the
town, I saw a little printed American
flag stuck in the corner of a building
away upon the top of a rocky hill that; is
piled up with houses, jumbled together
at all angles and every conceivable
form of architecture. Nothing could
have been more unexpected than the
sight of this flag, and my first impulse
was to rush into the house and investi
gate theinatter, but I was unable to do
so for the moment, being on a mission
which required haste to put a stop to
plundering in a quarter of the city not
yet occupied by troops and consequent
ly did not get an occasion to visit the
owner of the flag until the next day. I
met at the door a very easily recognized
type of an American woman, and she
asked me into a room which was so
strangely furnished that I could not. be
lieve my own eyes. American painted
furniture, American chromos in black
walnut frames; "God Bless our Home"
worked in worsted ; "Scratch my Back"
on perforated card board ; little vases
on brackets, even rocking chairs to sit
in. It was like making a single stride
from Boumelia to American to cross
that threshold. I found I was in the
home of Mrs. Mumford, who has been
in this country, with the exception of a
recent visit to America, the past seven
years, first in the service of the Ameri
can Board of Foreign Missions, and
later acting independently in the inter
ests of education. She had arrived
from her trip home shortly before
General Gourko crossed the mountains
in summer, and reached Philippopoli
just in time to open a hospital for the
wounded who came in from Eski Zara,
and to give shelter and protection jto
numbers of Bulgarians. All through
the horrible scenes of the succeeding
months, when more than three hun
dred Bulgarians were hanged in the
streets here, she remained at her work.
The panic which started here when
Suleiman Pasha announced his inten
tion of burning the town on the approach
of the Russians did not affect her any as
I can find out, and I believe she is about
the only householder in the town who
did not pack.up their furniture to escape.
Certainly her devotion to the work she
has undertaken solely in the cause of
humanity deserves every praise.
Finding out about the ObelUk.
'What is the somebody's needle they
are talking about, Stephen ?" asked she.
"Cleopatra's Needle," replied he,
without glancing up from his reading.
f Well, what is a Cleopatra Needle?"
inquired she after a moment- !
''It's ah obelisk," was the calm an-
swer.
!"An obelisk?" quizzed she.
' Yes, yes," continued he impatiently ;
'monolith "
"Monolith!" exclaimed she; "now
will you please put down that paper
and tell me what it is?"
So then and therehe told her that the
thing they were trying to talk about
was a big Egyptian monument or
gravestone," -
And still she had another question to
ask, him, and it was :
"Why under the Bun didn't you tell
me that in the first placet"

Summer- .Excursions.
The thoughtful spectator must view
with surprise the exodus of thousands
of our citizens across the ocean to make
a grand tour of England, Ireland, Scot
land, France, Switzerland and Italy,
following closely n each others' heels
over beaten paths, and seeing little in
reality of the manners and customs of
the people visited. These tourists are
subjected for ten days to all the annoy
ances of crowded steamships, j close
state-rooms, the perils of the deep and
the miseries of sea-sickness. On reach
ing the land, they are annoyed by pass
ports and custom-houses; packed into
railway cars so arranged that they are
exposed to robbery and insult; charged
for extra baggage and without any
provisions for its safe and prompt de
livery; oppressed by exorbitant de
mands, against which, through their
ignorance of the language, they have
no redress and considered wherever
they may go as victims to be plucked,
rather than as guests to be welcomed
and fairly treated. And for all this
where is the compensation? They can
say that they have seen the lakes of
England, of Ireland and of Switzerland,
the gayeties of Paris and; the bustle of
London, the snow-capped summits of
the Alps anil the Appenines; they have
drunk the waters of the German Spas,
have inspected the art galleries in the
large cities filled with the works of the
masters ; they may even gaze upon the
pyramids of Egypt and the waters of
the Nile ; and for all this they have ex
pended a large amount of money and
much worriment of soul.
In view of these results and the time,
money and worriment required to at
tain them, the question naturally arises :
"Why should we, during the warm
months of summer, leave our own to
sojourn for a season in foreign lunds?''
We have here at our very door all the
variations of temperature and scenery,
and all nationalties are to be found
imong our people. Considered simply
is a question of economy no 6mall
.consideration during these"hard times"
a far greater amount of pleasure is to
De enjoyed on the Continent of America
for a smaller amount of money. The
traveler is annoyed, neither by pass
ports nor custom-house regulations.
Our railway system is as nvar perfec
tion as invention and money ban bring
it. he Pennsylvania R. R., and many
ather leading lines are laid with steel
rails,ballasted with stone, traversed by
trains of cars handsomely fitted up and
supplied with every convenience. The
convenient and luxurious Pullman
Palace cars are furnished with all the
appliances for repose and comfort
while the hotel cars supply the passen
gers with choice viands as they speed
on to their destination. The introduc
tion of the block system and Westing
house brake, reduce the danger of ac
cidents to a minimum. Everywhere
telegraph lines keep up rapid commu
nications,' and the complete express
system with the checking of baggage
insures the safety of the baggage of
tourists and relieves them from all re
sponsibility. If communication by
water is preferred our bays, rivers and
lakes are covered with floating palaces,
decorated with almost oriental magnifi
cence, while bands of music enliven
the tedium of the voyageJ
But, with all these advantages, wjiere
shall we go? The difficulty arises not
so much from the fewness but the mul
tiplicity of the attraction. If our taste
lies in the direction of cataracts and
water falls, there are the Falls of Niag
ara, of Montmorenci, of Trenton, and
the wild leapings of the waters amid
the canons of Colorado. Others mayj
prefer the rapids of the St. Lawrence,
with its thousand isles. Are we fondj
of lakes? Then let us seek those granot
bodies of water Erie, Ontario, Superi-j
or, Michigan, or the minor beauties ofj
Lakes George, Champlain, and the
chain of lakelets that stud like emer-l
aids the Northern boundary of New
York. We have in different sections ofj
the country springs impregnated with
alum, iron and sulphur, magnetic, sodaj
hot and cold springs with the sparkling
product from the fountains of Saratoga!
Where can we find mountains to sur-i
pass in beauty and grandeur the gran-j
ite hills of New Hampshire, the Alle-j
ghanies, the Blue Ridge, the White
Mountains, the Sierra Nevadas and the
huge boulders of Colorado? Then wcj
have the Hudson with its Palisades and
Highlands ; the Delaware with the ro
mantic views on its upper streams; the
placid Ohio and the Missouri,' which
roll their combined waters In a vast;
volume to the Gulf. In fact the names'
of the places of resort Is legion and td
tempt the visitors, routes have been!
laid out and combinations formed
which, while affording the greatest fa-t
cilities, may be enjoyed at a very mod-j
erate cost. We again make, therefore!
the very pertinent inquiry, '-"Why
should we leave our natiye land in
search of that measure of health, com
fort and enjoyment which may be haq
on this side of the Atlantic, on far mor
reasonable terms?"
