" As her name is famous and as be story has boon told In romance , I wl glvo the bare facts about her as I foun thorn to bo , without any added ornamon and leave the fiction to the jpon of tb novelist. The Island of San Nicolas was one densely populated. This Is attested L the skulls and bones and other ovldenci of human abode that are found thori The Alaska Indians frequently vlsltc the Island to hunt for the furs of the s < otter. They took their women with the on thoio hunts , and on returning afti the hunt was over they left thorn on tl Island to their fate. By order of tl Government in 1835 the Indians WPI removed from the Island. Just bofoi they wore to embark , and carry awt every human Inhabitant , as it was en posed , a whlto Jndlan woman bogged fi the privilege of going ashore for her chll which she had accidentally left. SI was gone a long tlmo In a fruitless scan for her ofljprlng. The wind blow a gal the water was shallow , there was no 01 who was seeking the lott ono. They s sail , Intending to return for the Ic woman of Sau Nicolas , bat the boat b coming unseawortby she was Ute to her fa to. It was general known that there was a worn abandoned on the island , but no atiem was made for her deliverance. As t world eon forgota , so the woman of S Nicolas was forgotten , and the yc passed away. After a lapse of slite years a man who landed , on the Isla found that It was inhabited by some 01 The footprints of a human being no deep in the ground were seen. 1 hardness of the ground was an Indlcati that they had been made a long tin From their aizo they evidently belong to a woman. Circular incloanrcs , made of brush , aix or seven foot tlitongh , were aeon , where aomo ono had lived. Near the huts were sticks driven In the ground nnd dried blabber hanging on thorn , thus prepared fbr food. In 1852 Sun Nicolas wai visited again and Another hunt Tras made for the long- lost woman. The hats were scon that had been scon before , but the old blnb- bor had boon taken away and now food of the kind hung In Us placo. Wild dogs were found which ran away at the approach of civilized man. In a baako cpvcred with sealskins that they f onnd in' a bush-heap was a dross made of shagakins , cut In tqnaro pieces , a rope made of sinew and several smaller arti. clos , such ns fishhooks and bono needles- The discoverers of these proofs that there llvod on that Island n human bolng neat- tered them on the ground , and on their return they found them gathered together - or and placed In the basket again. The Catholic fathers of the "Old Mis sion , " the foremost In every good word nnd work , offered a reward to any ono who weald find the lost woman , nnd a third effort was made In 1853 to discover the prodigal , about whom there was such a mystery , and In whom the world of this coast was beginning to take an interest. Fresh tracks of the womou were found. They belonged to very small foot , nnd were like those that were seen In the first attempt to find the woman. Huts made of whale ribs and covered with brush wora discovered. At length an object was uceu in the distance that appeared to bo moving. Going towards It they saw the woman that for eighteen years bad reigned queen of San Nicolas , her subjects being the wild ani mals , her robe n dress of bird skins she had made , and her throne iho hut she bad built. She was seated in an enclos ure , so that only her head and shoulders could bo seen , Tire or three dogs were nbout her that disappeared nt the com mand of their sovereign. She was seated on some grass that covered the ground and served her ns n bed. Her dreas was neatly made of bird-skins , extending to her ankles , the feathers of which pointed downward. Her head wan covered with a thick mat of yellowish brown hair , nnd her shoulders were baro. She was occu pied in chipping blabber from a soal-nkln which aho held across her knee , and using for that purpose a knlfo made of nn iron hoop. In her hut was n fire , be side which aho sat talking to herself and , occasionally shading her eyes with her hand , looked nt the men that were In search of her. She received them with much courtesy , bowing and smiling- , and showing that this lost child of natnro had much of the politeness of a true woman. She took some roots In the bag , roasted them In the fire , and gave thorn to the men to eat. She gathered np nil her food , which was her chief concern , owing to the famines she had experienced , washed herself at the spring , and followed the men choorfally to the boat. On being taken to Santa Barbara , she manifested great delight on solng the sights of civ ilization. She became n universal favorite and was presented with many gifts. Passengers on the Panama steamer that landed there nil wanted to see the lost woman of San Nicolas. She related by algns her experience c n the Island , as she spoke n language that none of the Indians know , and none of the Spanish fathers versed in Indian dialects could understand. Civilization , which prolong ! } the life of some , shortened that ot the woman of San Nicolas. An es > CCBBIVO love of fruit led to her death in Santa Barbara at the ago of fifty. She was burled with the honors of the Catholic church by the Franciscan fathers , nnd her drees and trinkets were sent to Rome and placed In that recepta cle of the world's curiosities. The story of the loat woman of San Nicolas will always remain a wonder ment. Her ingenuity is seen In the palls she xnadn of grata , made to hold water by smearing them with melted aahphal- tnm , and in her bird-skin dresses , her bono noodles , her knlfo of Iron hoop nnd the language she Invented nnd spoke. It Is Inexplicable to all who have learned her story , how a woman could live eighteen years on an Island nround which the waves were boating a requiem to hope , getting her food and cooking It without oven these facilities which are common to the savage , and making her dresses neatly without the aid of needles except what she carved out of bono. She laid aside ono dress for eighteen yeara , to be worn when the whlto men should come , of which she had a pre sentiment. She built her own house , protected herself from the cold , gained supreme control over the wild beasts about her , and preserved her love for men and women forjwell high two decides of human llfo alone in the wild. With no previous knowledge of civilization , solitude appeared to have educated her for it. An ordinary woman would hove perished with despondency In such a desolate elate , hungry , naked , shelterless outlook. Mrs , Logan ami Senator Kcclc. Now York Sunday Star.

Murray in Washington Republican , During January , February and March 18C5 , the people of Richmond , who had orst boon so defiant in their bearing and so perfect In their confidence of the ina bility of Gen. Grant to capture the city , began to parttko of the undefined appre hension of evil which certainly pervaded the rank * of Gon. Loo's army. The con federate authorities , however , moved heaven and oartb , so to speak , to main tain confidence among the citizens , and they were so far successful that no general - oral exodus from the capital of the con federacy occurred. In fact , where were the frightened ones to fly to find a haven of rest , a city of refuge ? Gen , Sherman was coming np from the south , Early had been knocked Into a cocked hat by Sheridan , southwest Vir ginia was being Invaded , so that Richmond mend seemed as safe a place as any ; and again , to leave the city and go Into thr > stripped and desolate country meant simply starvation for any largo number of fugitives. The news of the alleged burning of Columbia , the capital of South Carollnaby , the army of Gon. Sherman , accompanied as it was with allegations that It was in revenge for the firing on Sumtor and the passage of the first ordi nance of secession by the state , intensi fied the feelings of apprehension among the people of Richmond , forIf in Colum bia , the , fiat had gone forth , Vic vlctlsl what could ba oxpcctod should the hotbed - bed of confederate resistance bo sctlzod upon by thoconquorlng northern legions ? Nothing but a well kept dairy by ono behind the scenes of the confederate cap- ithl In these Inttor days would glvo a definite idea of the dismay and terror which prevailed. And it was not only from the enemy that danger was feared. There was riot and Insubordination with in the gatoa as It were , for on several oc casions mobs of thousands , headed by WOMEN AS RECKLESS AND DANOEMUS as the potrolcusos of the Paris commune , had paraded the streets , breaking into and ransacking the bakeries , the provis ion stores and the markets , and who were only dispersed when a strong iorce of the military was brought to boar upon them. Toward the end of March , when it was evident from the good condition of the roads and certain ominous movements in the federal lines that a general assault was imminent on Gen. Loo's lines , the feeling of apprehension was Intensified to absolute dismay. Whatever braggadocio may have been Indulged In , no reason able man believed for a moment that Gon. Leo could withstand the determined assault of his powerful adversary. The condition of the confederate army , its disparity of force , its lack of supplies , its deficiency in cavalry ( the bulk of the cavalry was with Wade Hampton oppos ing Gon. Sherman's advance ) were patent to all A few days ago the writer met with a yonng lady the daughter of ono o ! the auditors of the state now a stately ma tron and mother of children who gave me some points as to the state of affairs in Richmond after the receipt of the news of Gen. Sherman's victory at Five Forks. That Saturday night all Richmond wont to bed feeling gloomily , assured .that the end had come. The next mornIng - Ing all the churches were crowded with ' people , who prayed fervently. If they never prayed before. St. Paul's church was packed and jammed , for this was the church attended by President Davis and hla family. Ho and his family wore promptly in their pew at the usual hour. Whllo the congregation were entering the church the roar of battle then going around Petersburg was distinctly audible. When the pastor , Rev.Mr. Mlnnegercdo , arose to begin the services ho scarcely commanded the attention of the audi ence. AIL EYES WERE UPON Mil. DAVIS1 PEW , where ho sat , somewhat paler than usual , but apparently calm and collected. At every opening of the door of the church the congregation nervously- turned in their scats to view the now comer. Every countenance was s'ralned and anxious. Before the services had proceeded far the coxtcn was soon coming down the aialo , and his countenance and gate portrayed the excitement nndorwhich | ho was laborIng - Ing , and which he IT as vainly endeavor ing to conceal. Ho approached Mr. Davis , touched him on the shoulder , and whispered a forr words In his car. It should bo explained hero that the cflicar with Gen. Lea's ' dispatch was waiting at the door. Mr. Davis turned to his wife , spoke to her briefly , and , rising , walked firmly down the rlsles and out of the door , Mrs. Davis and her children remain ing in their ioats. When Mr. Davis wont out the congregation , gezing fearfully at each ether , mutely Inquired : "What does it mean ? What has happened ? " The pas tor , although evidently nervous himself , proceeded with the services , but when Mr. William H. McFarland , president of ono of the banks , was called nut by the sexton , the tension on the minds of the audience was too great to bo borno. Sev eral ladies fainted , and the congrega tion boqan to drop out in spite of the as- snranco of the pastor that there was no cause for alarm. The services ncro then abruptly closed , and those who remained dismissed , Now , it had been ordered that In case of serious alarm the large bell in the capltol grounds should bo jangled rapid ) ; and contlnously. With characteristic speed madam rumor had spread the nowi from St. Paul's church soon after the president left and somebody sounded the alarm on the boll , and soon the entire population of the city was on the streeU seeking news from tbo front. That wat a long , weary Sunday of mental torture for the inhabitants of Richmond on the James , for nothing but DISCOUIUOJNO KUMOnS CAJIE FUOlt Till FUONT , where the little army of Gon. Leo wai standing up gamely In a fight whlcl there was no hope of winning. Durlnj the day there were no signs of OVBCUB tlon , the president , his cabinet and thi other confederate end state outhorltie being at their posts ; but toward snndowi a strong force of provost guards weiodls tribnlod throughout the central portloi of the city , and , beginning with the gov eminent depots and ending with the res taurants , they proceeded to drag oat t the eldownlkt , knock In the heads ant poor into the gutters the contents of ov cry barrel of whisky or brandy the ; could lay their hands on. This was fo the purpose of preventing the troops re treating through the city from gettin drunk and , mayhap , sacking the storei On Main street , the principal businei thoroughfare , the confiscated liquor ra down the gutters In torrents , and mo and women of both colors rushed fo ward with all manner of utensils toscoc up the enlivening but dirty fluid. Son used their hollowed hands , others the hats , to get a supply of the fiery ttu tnd In a half hour or so the streets we " filled with a maudlin mass of drankon humanity. The pouring out of the liquor TTAS a euro sign to the affrighted citizens that the city was to bo evacuated , and they fled to their homes and drew bolts and bar , and sat down in dumb misery to meet their fate they know not what but feared the worst. There were few people who undressed and went to bed that eight. Tlieso people suffered tor ment that Sunday night , such ns the people plo of no city of the country have bcon forced to undergo slnco the landing of Captain John Smith. Shortly after midnight the military authorities blow np the gunboats and steamboats lying just below the city , and tbo terrific explosions seemed to the terrified people as the crack of doom. I have been credibly Informed by an old resident of Richmond that about fifty people , chiefly ailing women , DIED THAT NIOUT : OF .SHEER Then the tobacco factories , near Rockott's , were sot on fire , and soon the whole hoavona appeared to ba in a blaze. Before this tlmo , however , about 11 o'clock Jefferson Davis , hla cabinet , and ether confederate officials loft the city on a train , which , It has bcon charged , Gon. Lee had ordered to bo filled with provis ions to bo transported to Amelia Court house , on the line ot his intended retreat - treat , and the want of which caused nn earlier disintegration of his army than would have otherwise oconrrcd. The party took w'ith them all the gold In the banks and In the confederate treas ury. About the eamo hour the state government authorities , including the legislative solons , adjourned to a packet boat on the canal , and they prudently had hitched on n double force of mules In order to got nway faster "down to Lynchburg town. " Gov. Extra Billy Smith , however , and a few others dis trusted the ' 'raging canawl" locomotion , and wont uii horseback down the towpath - path in the same direction. It is noodlcss to relate how , after the confederate troops had retreated through the city , ether houses caught fire from the blazing tpbacoa factories , There being - ing no organized attempt to check the fire , and the llimes being spread by In- condlarica intent upon robbery , the whole business portion of the city was soon a sea of fire , The people anx iously awaited the advent of the federal troops , expecting that the utter destruction of the city would then ensue , and when the head of a column of a negro regiment of cavalry , with drawn sabres , came moving up toward the catri- tel square , the whites Hod to their houses In ultor despair. If over a people in the last extremity were joyfully saroriaod by nn unhoped-for deliverance , then the citizens of Richmond wero. No sooner had the federals entered than they wont to work to put out the fires and re- ttoro order. The troops Insulted no ono , entered no private houses , and robbed nobody. The general In command Issued a proclamation that private property wonld bo respected and protection given to all who behaved themselves. The in habitants breathed freely once more , after months of harrowing suspense. Educatetl and Experienced. Hood's Sareaparllla is prepared by C. I.

" 1119 OInXSS OF UKEUU The British Imborer Will lUvc , an(3 ( Another too. IT Ho Unit. London Cor , Boston Coinmcrcl.il Bulletin. In the county of Hortj I stopped to talk with a farmer , who was cutting down his tall , handsome hay rick and loading the hay for the London market. Ho was a lively , progrosslvo sort of a man , who had bcon an emigrant to Australia , and , after a long residence there , hstf again returned to the homo farm In Eng land , and , like many others who hrtd lived years away from England , ho had returned with insny broad ideas in his mind. Speaking with him of the bad boor-drinking habits of the English la borers , ho said the great trouble was they would not use the boor in moderation. A moderate use of boor ho though might bo beneficial to thorn. I asked him to toll mo what his idea of .moderation In this regard was. Ho replied that in haying time , which in Old as in Now England Is a period when the farm hand Is expected to work unusually hard , a laboring man ought to bo able to get along on a gallon of beer a day. If the men would put up with about that quantity boor wonld not hurt thorn , Thoao very astonishing "tomparanoo" views I afterward hoard advanced by other qnlto Intelligent English farmers. In giving the statement of the vast num ber of arrests for drunkenness that are annually made iu England , an American ought to remember that laws are prob ably moro strictly enforced In England than In any ether country on the face of the earth. I found that many English laborers sccmod to live almost entirely on boor. A very llttlo broad nnd n largo amount of beer seemed to make np their daily sustenance. I remember cooing nn English laborer , who had himself aban doned Its uao , holding up before mo a very small loaf of broad a loaf about the eizo of a ooffco cup and exclaiming : "Soo this ; ono of our hard workers will make a day's food out of this , if you will glvo him boor enough to go with it. " I used frequently to ooo these boor-drinkers silting in the taprooms at all times of the day , but they were most in the habit of awarming into these places nt night. It Is often the custom for a llttlo clique of British workmen to sit down around the plain pine table in the boor house and begin the evening by ordering a quart pewter pot of boor be tween thorn. They paea this around from mouth to mouth with a "drink , mate , " chatting the while. When the mug is exhausted It is , "Horo , missus , another pot of beer ; " and so they keep It up until the evening is over. The quantity of beer and English worklngman will getaway away with Is certainly astonishing. A Bedforoshlro man told mo of a neighbor of his who was what they there termed a "broad-and-chcoso " "fol- - - carpenter , or a low-tho-fiold carpenter , ' that Is , a carpen ter who has no regular job of his own , but who did odd jobs at his trade out of doors ; who made a regular practice of drinking ton quarts of boor a day.

A few days ago , after a firs which partly consumed a dwelling honso on Third street , the owner permitted a gang ot Polacks to carry off a lot of damaged f urnituro. A spring bed fell to the lot of an old man. The cover had been de stroyed , and several of the cells were missing , but ho accepted the present with every expression of gratitude , and as ho carted it away his fellow-countrymen cast many an envious glance in his direction. The same afternoon the donor had bus iness in Polo town , and as ho rode along the Polo to whom ho had given the bed ran out and made motions for him to come In. "Blesd his old soul I but ho's got these springs fixed up and wants mo to see what a nice bed ho has , " said the citizen to himself , and ho followed the man around the house. There was the spring bed. The man had bnllt a pig pen , and the gift just made a front for it. The wire colla were placed on the inside , and the occupant of the pen was scratching against them and squealing with delight. "Good ! " said the Polack as ho pointed to the pen. "Y-O-B. " "Got more ? " "No , my friend , I haven't.
