The steamer Rapidan reports 9s follows:— At2a.m.on the 27th, discovered a vessel on fire about five miles distant, and immediately bere jor her, and found her to be the steam- ship Tioga, of Philadelphia, .rom New Or- leans via Havana to Philadelphia. Boats were immectately sent to render assistance, and after getting tbe pessengers aboard, and seeing the prcspect of saving her was small, sent word to the captain that we would lie by until the fire was extinguished or the ship abandoned. At 7:30 the flames suddenly burst out from the main deck, and the captain was obliged to abandon her. leaving in the last boat with his officers. AtSa.m.she was one mass of flames fore andrft. We remained by her while Captain Morse sent the first officer and chiet engineer te see if there was any possi- bility of saving ber hull. They reported that her port side was bulged out with heat, and she was evidently settling. At 9 a. m. we proceeded on our course, and at 1:30 a. m. we saw her careen over to port, and suppose she sunk.

Diamond Cut D i—Ne Game Be- tweem the Atlamticsand Athietics—The Reason Why. The home ang home game between the Ath- letics, of Philadelphia, 4nd the Atlantics, of Brooklyn, for the championship, was set down for Monday, on the Union grounds, Willtams- borg; but it did not come off tor sundry rea- sons. It seems that after the Atlantics had ‘won & game of the present series, making the ‘wo clubs stand one each, tBe Atlantics infor- maliy noufied the Athle that, as thres of their first nine were disabled, viz: Smith. Start and Mills, is would be impossible for bem to play asagreed upon. In addition to this, the aAtlantics senton word to Philadel- pbia last Frigay that it would be impossible to play the game as agreed upon. The Ath- letics replied that they had purchased their tickets and made arrangements to come, and thry intended to come, and they expected the Athletics to Play them according to agreement. So the athletics gmeaga sp peared, prompi- ly on the ground Monday ready toplay. The crippled state of the Atlantics was again rep- Tesented to.them in vain. Théy would hear nothing but the letterof the bond. They were offered the amount of their expenses to deter the game, but this ne Bea and Like Shylock, they wanted but the, gond, and, like Shylock, they got it. The Atlantics finally agreed to play, but they took good care to let the Athle- tics know that the nine selected to play them, thongh consisting of members of the Atlantic Club, would comprise heretofore unknown names, In short, the fat, the haltand the blind of the club, that the Athietics might play them if they chose, and they would probably make @bundred rans in the first inning, as it was Dotat all Jikely the Atlantic muffins could ever get them out. The result would be the game would be delayed, so that five innings could not be played before dark, and a postponement would be forced. The Athletics were, therefore, caughtin their own trap. They found that some people could Play technical points as well as others. They could not demand the champion bill as the Allantics had not refused to play them. They had notbing to do but toreturn to Philadelphia and bide ther time. They retused to name a day for the pext game, insisting that the At- Jantics should go to Philadviphia to play it, and so the matter stands undecided, and proba- bly will remain so until next season unless Ue feeling between the two clubs changes wonderfully in a very short time. ¥.

A Oase OF HearTiess Desertion.—_We have been recently apprised of a case of heart- Jess abandonment occurring in a town in this vicinity. The parties most interested were both of high respectability; the gentleman, as he bad been considered, was about thirty years of age, and the lady about twenty-five. A jong acquaintance had ripened intoa mutual affection, which resulted in an engagement of marriage. During bis absence in the army, she had been true to him, and after his return a day was appointed for the consummation of their happiness by uniting in marriage. The day occurred on Wednesday of last week. The friends of both parues assembled. The bride, as beautiful as she is accomplished and good, was arrayed in her bridal attire, awaiting the arrival of the groom. The bour paseed, and he did not come; in his stead his mother came, with the announce- went that be was at Rome, and go ill that the ceremony could not proceea. The poor girl was s0 overwhelmed with mortification and conviction that the excuse was false, as it afterwards proved to be, that she went into convulsions and remained in that condition as late as Monday last. Her deplorable state ex- cited the most painfal apprehensions for her life; and, a8 a last resort, the author of her flerings was compelled. almost by force, to visither What the reeult of their interview was we have not learned; but the excitement and indignation against him was so great among his neighbors that it was with diflicul- ty they could be restrained from laying violent bands on him.

How it Feels to Have the Yellow Fevers [From the New Orleans Bulletin.) The following was written by a yellow fever patient on the fifth day after being taken stck the Jabor of writing it caused a relapse, which came very near costing his life : ‘The writer of this has hada glimpse of Par- gatory, and the way it came to pass was this: ‘Duescday morning + Yellow Jack,” so called, mtroduced himself unceremoniously and at once proceeded to break every bone in this poor snbject’s body. He was lett helpless and prostrated. Now appeared an army of little devils, who commenced prowling, prodding, and digging to satisfy themeelves that not & bone was left unbroken. But in spire of all the devils, the skull remained unbroken. They made @ detail to keep continually beating tne subject on top of the bead and downwards towards the neck. Then they had a kind of Greek fire, which at regular intervals they poured down the spine of the subject. Having arranged all these preliminaries they of course thought they had him dead. Now they commenced 8 curieus game; all would whirl around, them stop all of aendden and Play with some stramge devices that were neither cards nor dice, yet some:Ring of the sort. The subject watched t me with in- tense interest, 80 Mncb so that he got Dis broken bones ‘Thus his mind and the spirits and the game went spinning alc ng together till about dark, when a servantentered and asked if the sub- ject was sick. He rather thought he was. A delegation of neighbors now crowded around the bed to learn how the sick man felt. He endeavored briefly to convey some idea of his feelings. One of those present asked it be would take a preparation tocheck the fever He answered he might, provided it was neither calomel nor quinine. No, it was a homeopa- thicremedy. Well, the subject had no objec- tion, Soon after a physician made ap- pearance, looked rather serious, gave bis in- structions, and told the subject to quench his thirst with almost any decent drink. Now he happened to be always thirsty, tried citrate of magnesia for a while, but soon grew dis gusted with it, tnen tried lemonade, but with no better success. The novel idea strack him to try pure cold water, and it turned out to be exactly the thing The physician continued bis visitsand would announce trom day today with acurious air that the patient was better. In the meantime, when vot interrupted. the subject and th spirits and the curious game played by the lat- ter went swimming along toge'her as mach so as on the first day, but gradually the host grew smaller; some of the spirits seemed to have ur- gent business elsewhere, otbers jagged, and all that ran around grew more and more careless. But just in exact proportion the subject grew more and more “powerfully weak.’ Thars- day morning he was all powerfully weak: the its had all left but two, one rested on each eyelid. Witha kick and @ sport the subject fiung back the bed. cover, landed on the fluor, and said, “1 aint dead yet.” ‘With the assistance of @ nurse, of whose ex- istence the subject now became aware, he found bis way back to bed again.

The doctor sug- gested that the subject might drink a cup of coffee with boiled milk. Would a duck swim? The coffee was well made and drank, and the patient gained strength enough to attempt to write this, which he managed to do by eight hours’ hard work, lying on his back, ana hoid- ing his pencil in one band and his paper in the other.

In her canter she went with a long, easy sweep that took her over tbe ground without apparent effort. In fact, it was the two year old Achievement once more with even more than her two year old grace. Hermit was walked about for a long time before Custance mounted him; in fact, he was the last t> ap- pear upon the course. He bad a very different levy to that which he held at Epsom, anda mob followed nim all over the course. If Achievement was 8 different mare to the Achievement of Ascot, Hermit was not the same horse in appearance as the Hermit of Epsom. Though never a very striking-look- ing animal, he now looked tuil of muscle, and in bis canter he moved in such a grand, r-30- lute way, that five to four became the highest offer againet him, and he was decidealy the favorite. Afterwards tt was noticed that he, like Lord Lyon tast year, lathered very much, but this did not ct his position. Of the others Julins and Longebamps looked best, the former especially going very well, as also did Vauban, though the latter we should never fancy trom bis appearance.” RESULT oF THR MouNT Czxis ScumwiT RalLway.—The Genoa Movimento has the fo! lowing from Nice:—The news of the succe: of the Fell system for passing mountains has been received bere with pleasure, and two distinguished Nizzards intend visiting Mount Oenis to see how far the system can be applied to the Colidi Tenda.

SometHine New im Raltroapimc—The Ess+ner Zeitung contains the followin, “The project of the Khenish Railway Oom- pany to introduce the nine inch rail on their line, instead of the five inch rail hitherto iu use, is of such importance for all persons connected with the railway interest that it has created the greatest excitement, and everything con- Bected with it is narrowly watched by all civil engineers ; for, should it succeed, it will solve the long debated problem of the possibility of doing away with sleepers altogether, which are becoming every yeardearerand dearer. To the Rbenish Railway fompeny the credit is, at all events, due of being first in the field to give the new system a fair trial. The nineinch Tails rest upon a bed of plates, and are then covered with five inches of gravel, on the ofwhich is a two inch layer of earth, well stamped down so that the head of the rail pro- jects only an inch above the surface. The two lines of rails are connected every three feet by round bags of iron firmly bolted to the rails below the surface, so that the whole forms one compact body, and may be compared to ladder lying on the ground half buried in it. This mode of constroction is said to afford quite #8 great security as the present system of underground sleepers.” CHANGE oF Fortunt.—Two years ago Hugh Crawford Pollok, a young gentleman then about twenty years ‘old, su denly disappeared from his home in Scotland, much to the dismay of bis relatives and ac- Romantic | quaintances.

For several days previous there had been around the village a strange man of light complexion, dressed in a suit of bine clothes, and in appearance abont thirty- liveyears of age. On Friday he called at the heuse of R. M. Oakes, on some pretended errand. The little daughter of Mr. Oakes came to the door, the rest of the family being away from home. Since then, up to the time of the attempted abduction, he bas been rrequently seen watching in the neighborhood of Mr. Oakes’ residence. No [pen appeared to know him, and by his quiet manner he avoided suspicion. On Tuesday, Mr. Oakes’ little daughter, a bright, lively little girl, attended school. On her way home, while in a by reet, che was met by thisunknown man in carriage, who tried to prevail upon her to take a ride with him. She refased; he instantly jumped out of the carriage and seized her, when she commenced screaming, but he soon stopped her screams by gagging her, and tb proceeded to place her in the carriage. At this pointa man Bappening along sprang for the orse and prevented the rascal from starting. ‘He took the little girl out from tbe carriage, who fainted in his arms. While he was attending to the sufferer the villain whipped up his borse and made off. Mr. Oakes knows of no reason why the man would wish to steal hie danghter.— Worcester (Mass.) Gazette, Sept-26.
