While travelling in an express train from Basle to Paris, a rich Araerica,n met with =unpleasant adventure. ,IECe was the sole occupant of a coupe, /and. (lathed. with -him $1000. At eleven o'clock at night, being on French terri- tory and fast asleep,t'he was suddenly awakened by a tug at the courier's bag which was slung round his shoulder. He started to his legs and found him- self face to face with a beardless young man of distinguished appearance, who forthwith attempted, to escape from the -carriage. The Ainerigan gentleman, however, held him fast by the collar and called loudly for I assistance, but failed to make him.sey heard. The young man then, falling on his knees, implored pardon for his attempt at rob- bery, stating -that he was a Russian refugee, reduced in estate, and now absolutely pennilese. He had hidden himself upon the roof of -one of the rail- way carriages, hoping thus to reach Paris, where he had friends 'and. had only entered the compartment where he found the American on account Of the piercing cold, which was unbeaxal?le on the top of the earriage. The Ameri- can, touched by this story, with tepee; in hie eyes, offered to pay the stranger's fare to Paris. Ana here follows the worst part cif the story. I On their arriv- al at their journey's end, the engaging Russian suddenly dissweared. The American's suspicions being aroused, he examinealis pockets, and found- that a small 'muse, containing a check for a large amount on a Paris banker, was missing. He ran to the police 'office and gave information Of the robbery, and also stopped payment of the cheek. The offender was finally brought to .justice, and. proved tobea professional gentleman of the mad." An Elopement in Kansa. A case of elopementhas just transit- -ed at Abilene, Kan., wl4ch has created no little amount of indignation among the people of that section. jenriie Bel- ton, a prette,girl of 15, daughter of a farmer 'Mice, near Abilene, disappeared a few days ago, and `shortly afterwards it was discovered that she had run away in company with a notoriouainul- atto, about 40 years of age, whO has lived for some time at Abilene.' As soon as the fact became known' con- 'aiderable exeitement prevailed ainong the citizens, which was that augment- ed by the circumstance hat the girl is So childish and young as to be searcely responsible for her wholes. The citi- zens in raised a large sum of ro.oney as a reward and for paying the expense of pursuine • the scoundrel and his -victim. Marsthal iforsington, of Abilene, took up the trail, and fellow- ine it with great rapidity, came upon the flying couple at Salina, captured. them, and at once took them aboard of a, train bound_ for Abilene. When the Iran arrived the father of the girl was at the depot and attempted to shoot the abduetor of his daughter, but was pre- vented_ by Sheriff Nicolay. It was: with the greatest difficulty' that the eitizens could be restrained. from lynelaing the meal,. The girl was restored to her father, and the abductor put in jail, and. he will undoubtedly get speedy jiistice from the courts. esesseses -A young man applied at the Star office, the other day, for a situation. "Ha,ve you*ever had any experience as an editor ?" inquired the newspa,per man. "Well, no, not exactly," replied the am- bitious aspirant, cantiously. "But I've been cowhided a number of times, leave been married quite a while, have 'worn borrowed clothes for three years, and never had a cent of money, sol thOught I might work in." He was engagea. - "Bridget, Bridget!. Why don't you bring up the lemonade ?" said Mrs. B., on the Fourth of July, from the top of the kitchen stairs.- Why, maim," said Bridget, wiping the sweat from her red face with her checked apron, as she put her head round the staircase parti- tion, "why, maxm, you see the ice I put in the lemonade was so hard that it hasn't melted Yet, though it's stirring over the fireI've been for the last fifteen minutes or merle" Auction Sales.
