The unsnown fate of the beau ful Mrs. Theodoeia Alston, the only child of Aarou Burr, has never failed to awaken an anxious desire in the minds of refined per sons to know tne true an untimely cause of the disappearance from earth of that accomplished wom an. Young, beautiful, cultured wealthy, endowed by nature with all the attributes which produce1 the highest charms ot female per lection, hapily weded to the man of her choice making her domestic life all that her fondest anticipa tions had pictured, filled a position in the social circles of her day which was second to none, with a reputation and friendship as broad as her country, her loss created a profound sympathy and an earnest desire to know the cause. Mystery up to now has shrowded her departure, being relieved only by speculation and conjecture. Circumstances have made it cer tain that she was lost as sea, and the belief that she was has never for one moment been shaken, but the cause resulting in her loss has been until now a hidden mystery. Ocean travel at that time was confined to sailing craft, and so Mrs. Alston took passage at Charleston, S. C on one of these small coasting vessels for New York city. The thought that she might have gone down to a watery tomb with the ship in a storm was not an improbable one. The South Atlantic coast, how ever, at that time was badly in fested with pirates and the idea gained currency (in what way we have never known) that the little coasting smack overtaken by pi rates, looted of all its valuables and the crew and passengers to gether with the ship sunk in the bottom of the great ocean. This impression has always (we must believe by instuition)been the pre vailing one with those most inter ested in Mrs. Alston's fate. The Nortolk Public Ledger has recently published what it claims to be a link in the chain of cir cumstances, connected with the gloom of uncertainty and makes clear what has heretofore been a mystery. The following is the statement of the Ledger in referrence to the occurrence referred to : "About five years ago a clergy man was visiting his native state) North Carolina, and for several days was the guest of the widow of the late Dr. William Poole,near Elizabeth Citv. Above the man- tlepiece in Mrs. Poole's parlor was an old-fashioned painting, exquis itely executed.of a beautiful young woman dressed in white. It so interested Mrs. Poole whom it was intended to represent. She then gave the following story of it : Eight years previously, she said Dr. Poole bad taken his family to pass the summer at the little coast town of Nag's Head, N. C, where the United States man-of-war Hu ron came to grief. The place is largely populated by "bankers" generally a rough class of men who mainly earn livelihood by picking up all series of flotsam and Jetsam along the coast. One of these "bankers," however, was a very respectable and very old fellow, named Mann. His wife was suf fering from a complication of dis eases, and Dr. Poole took her case Under his treatment she recovered, and as a token of gratitude the dnrttor nresented him with the Damtine which so greatly interest ed the clerevman. Mrs. Mann's husband had recovered it from a ! wreck. When quite a youug man he was walking along the shore onemorniLg. His attention was (called to a coasting schooner un O der full sail, bearing down upon Hcnirarr.iia har Whlf ll lO lBier 1, nf th . and t7iea "rtBlu"c" v, Huron. lin outer uouo I r i. 4.,. Um. ooaiatonM lianu put uct fonnd that tne only living thing aboard was a little black abd tan dog. Careful inspection of the schooner proved nothing as to her antecedents. Even her nme was not ascertainable. But the cabins had evidently been very recently occupied by a woman, and in this cabin was the painting which Mrs Mann gave Dr. Poole, aud which Mann appropriated in his share of the salvage. The schooner shortly after went to pieces. Dr. ' Toole was an enthusiastic student of national matters. He ff It certain that the picture had a very valuable history, and formed a suspicion that it might have rep resented the mysteriously lost daughter of Aaron Burr. He put himself in communion with sev eral historical societies on the matter, but his theory found little weight in spite of a family like ness beine admitted. As the clergyman upon whose authority this story is given was returning from a recent visit to Mrs. Poole, while driving from that lady's house to Elizabeth City to take the cars home, he met a young man, whom he knew to be very bashful and much afraid of the geutler sex driving a strange woman in a buggy towards Mrs. Ponle's residence. In a letter written to Mrs. Poole shortly af terward he good-naturedly referred to the incident and to the young fellow's evident embarrassment. THE STORY OF THE PORTRAIT. This brought from Mrs. Peole another chapter in the history of the beautiful picture. The strange woman was a decendant of the Burr family, who resides in De troit, Mich. Her name has tem- poiarily escaped the clergyman's memory. She had been visiting at Virginia Beach, Vav where she had first heard of Mrs. Pool's mys terious painting from a North Car olina gentleman. Her visit to Elizabeth City was solely for the purpose of seeing the painting.and no sooner had she set her eyes on it than she offered Mrs. Poole $300 spot cash for the same, besides any other 'additional sum she might require. Mrs. Poole refuses to part with the treasure. She toid the visitor that there was a strong fam ily likeness between the latter and the subject of the picture whoever that subject might have been ; and further informed her ot the iacts. already given here as to how the painting came into her possession. This elicited from the Detroit women another remarkable remin iscence, and one which, taken in connection the foregoing facts? proves that the painting is that of Aaron Burrs daughter the one destined as a present to her and that the unfortxnate young wom an was drowned by pirates. This in substance is the Detroit's wom an's story : When her mother in Detroit, formerly resided her mother's aged aunt, a humane woman, who gave up much time to visit tho poor and rick. One evening in one of the wards in Marine hospital, of that city was a dying sailor, who seemed terribly startlv as the aunt, in company with others, approached his bedside. He beckoned her to him, however, and after begging that she alone of the visitors might hear what he had to say a request which the others granted by retir ing to the next ward he stated that as a young man he had one summer been on a Drivate vessel off the North Carolina coast. He then went on to say that he had then helped to overhaul a north bound coasting schooner. FACED HER DEAT1I CALMLY. On the vessel was a beautiful young feminine passenger dressed all in white. He had assisted in dragging her from her cabin, in which was hanging up a painting of herself. While the virates were engaged in throwing the crew over board he stated that this beautiful young lady paced the deck, with magnificent courage and dignity her hands folded on her breast and her eyes raised to heaven. She made no remonstrance, what- ever, and he steadied the plank upon which she walked to the ves sel's side, thence to be plunged headlong into the ocean. He want ed to take away her picture and her dog a little black-and-tan fellow but dreaded to touch eith er. After the pirates had plun dered the schooner of money and other treasures they abandoned the vessel, having set it under full fail to drift to its doom with the picture and the dog aboard. The dying sailor said that the young woman's sweet face had haunted him throughout life, and his con fession was prompted by a striking resemblance between her and his listener. Mrs Poole's visitor stated that the snilor's story had been for years a current tradition of the descendants of Burr's family, though they had hitherto paid very little attention to it. Its ex traordinary corroboration by the accidental meeting of these two women appears to settle forever the recent mystery as to the death of Mrs. Alston. The Detroit wom an says that the subject of the painting is beyond doubt Aaron Burr's daughter a statement cor roborated by other pictures of that unfortunate woman in her posses sion, as also by still others belong ing to the Alston family. Ex. Tlie IVv GbmA IV 01 tli Carolina Invention. We have taken considerable in terest in the test made of acetylene gas, because it is a great discovery, the honor of which belongs to North Carolina. The discoyery was made in the laboratory of Major J. Turner Morehead, at Leaksville, Rockingham county ,by Mr. Wilson, the chemist employed there, and was, as many discover ies have been, what might have been called an accident. But the discovery was followed up with the rejult of giving the world an illuminant of remarkable brillian cy and almost incredible cheap ness. We refa'ed some time ago to experiments made in Europe, resulting in the establishment of plants in London and Berlin, and we see from the papers that they have given such satisfaction that the gas is now being used in light ing private residences, railway coaches, omnibuses and other pub lic conveyances. couple of weeks ago a company was organ ized in Pittsburg, Pa., to manufac ture the liquid from which the gas is generated. Sneaking of the tests in Philadelphia, which re suited in the organization of the company, the Times says : "Its extreme brilliancy capti vated the audience. The difference between it and ordinary city gas is marked, ine acetylene gas. burning through a one-foot burn er, gives fifty-six candle power while ordinary city gas, burning through the ordinary five-foot burner gives about sixteen candle power. "As a part of the experiment seven incandescent lights in one room were turned on and then off and the new gas from two burners was lit, when it was found that the latter gave a much more bril liant light. It is estimated that when it is brought in competition with city gas it vi ill bring it down to sixteen cents 1,000 cubit fe6t. "Its adaptability is another im portant point in its favor, as it can be carried in the liquid form in cylinders and placed in service at at a moment's notice."

Throw tlo Uoorn Open. There is a growing conviction that the State should throw open the doors of its University to the wemen. They are entitled to this admission in the language of the Constitution which says, "The General Assembly shall provide that the benefits of the University as far as practicable shall be ex tended to the youth of the State fiee of expense of tuition." The University has just completed the first hundred years of its existence and yet the girls have never en joyed the right which the Consti tution guaranteed and simply jus tice demanded. The most intel lectual woman, perhaps, that the State has produced was educated at the University. She is said to have stood ahead of two brothers for four vears. When graduating day came around di plomas were granted to the young men while th?s young woman was refused one. If the trustees of the University should decide to admit the daughters of the State to the institution in another de cade woman's sphere of usefulness as the controllers of the State's formative influences would be greatly enlarged. When the question is sprung there aro those who will bo ready to exclaim, "Oh, it will unsex the sweet girls, and they will wish to enter politics and think and act like men." But the better education of our women is necessity, and if they wish to en ter the University (and it seems that they do), it is certainly the duty of the men to admit them. Sanford Express. Why ;it railed. "No, our onion social was not a success." "Onion social ? What is that?" "Why, all of ihe girls stand up in a row, and one of them is se lected to take a bite out of an on ion. Ihen the young men pay ten cents a guess as to who ate the onion." "Yes." "And if he guesses right he gets to kiss all the other girls." "I see." "And the girl who bit the onion kisses all the fellows who guess wrong. And that is where the row began. All of the girls want ed to be the onion girl. More fel low's guess wrong tnan right, you know." Cincinnati Tribune. The typesettingjmachine invent ed by Father Calendoli, a Sicilian monk is an advance on all other similar machines in speed and ease of manipulation.

Its cardinal principles of difference from other machines is m the use of the octave and chord system ot the piano, whereby a single movement of the hand an entire word may be put in type in the time formerly used for setting a letter.

Scarce had Lee reached his fifth vear When his father aud mother dear Were laid 111 the cold, silent tomb, While the rose was yet in bloom. No more a father's voice he heard, Or a kind mother's love ho shared ; No longer was he a mother's joy, But a helpless littl orphan boy. But Jesus Christ,th orph's friend A kind relief did quickly send, From want, care, and stern misery, Under His hallowed wing was Leo. Beneath Uncle Tom's triendly roof, rom harm and danger lar aloof, Ten years was he most kindly reared, Tho' Tom's advice went oft unhe'd- But Lee was thoughtless young and ay. Aud often broke the Sabbath day : The church ball to him heedless rung, God's name blasphemed with his tongue. His prayers went unsaid at night, n wickedness was his soul's deli't : le would rob bird's nests, rove, and fish On Sunday against his uncles wish. At length came the appointed day When from his home he ran away, And to the sorrow of his life, He took unto himself a wife. She was lovely, kind and true As any wife I ever knew ; Longer she xnight've lived a think, Had not Lee found pleasure in drink. Too well he knows the very day When "Fair Dnnk" stole his sense away ; True as love for her controlled his will To persuade him his wife to kill. ITwas one dark and doleful night All seemed well but he was not right! His wife was lying on the bed Seized with agony fear and dread. He stepped to her with poison in hand, And awoke her with a harse com mand : Take this," cried he, it will cure you Of those wild fits,take it pray do 1' She gave to him a tender look And in her mouth the poison took And with the babe upon the bed, Down to her last long sleep she laid. Yet fearing she was not quite dead. Upon her throat his hand he laid ; Such a strong grasp upon her made That her soul to eternity fled. Then his mind was clear but full of woe "Ah", cried he, whither shall I go? How can I Icok upon wife's pale face, How can I quit this mournful place ? "It could only bring to life My dear, mv darling murdered wife, I'd give up drink and earthly store Yes, ten thousands and thousands more 1 The direful deed performed he went ; To escape the horrors of punish ment; But vengeful justice unawares Captured him in ner toils and snares. No guiltless crape hid his wan face As ho was led to the prisn's place ; Imprisoned, tried, and doomed to die, Too late; his day of grace has gone by! Alas ! the dismal death-bell tolled, And the fatal cord was now un rolled ; His body consigned to the sod And his soul went to meet his God. John Square. August 11, '95.
