THE STORY OF DAISY BROWNE. Daisy Browne is the name of # pretty young girl who lived in the solitude of the White Mountains. Une day an awkward but handsome professor strayed into the woods hunting for specimens. In a wild and tangled gien he met this quaintiy interesting m:iden—some- thing between Undine and M’liss—and although math- ‘ewatically opposed to women on scientific grounds, be felt a little arrow enter his soul, and the cold man ot books lost his head and then his heart in the somber forests of the mountains. ‘The dark-haired Daisy had a Yery wicked father who wished to sell her to a wicked old man for his money. The Professor became her teacher and friend, and did all he could to save her from the clutches of her naughty father. About this tune her brother, who had not seen hersine eshe was a litte «irl, came into the woods with a purty of young ris from Boston. ‘The brother did wot. recoxnize ai-y Browne as his sist-r, consequently he too fell in love with the htile wood’ nymph, and the result was that the Frofessor of trigonometry and acute a: gles felt very melancholy and wanted to die, He poured out his grief among the rocks of the wilderness, and was about going to another land when half a dozen of the infatuated Boston givls rushed ujon the Professor and beged him not to leave them. ‘They did not know that he loved Daisy with all his heart and mind—even more than he loved zeometry and the wild mysteries of the indefinite calculus. ‘The girls were on point of driving hia to distraction when a detective appeared and revealed the real name of the virl of the mountains. his changes everything but the rocks and the trees, the brook that dashed down the mountain. ‘The brother of courss cannot marry his own’ sister. All is now clesr for the Professor. Daisy Browne mm confidingly in his bosom,” and gives him her heart fore ‘The detective takes the wicked father off to j-il. " But this is not all; the pretty Boston girls also find lovers, and there is joy all around. These are the dry outlives of a picturesque romance which will be euacted at the Opera House, Dairy Browne, Who isso happy, the handsome Professor, and all the pretty «irks, with their new dresses, will repeat the d= ‘hitful experiences of their enmmer adventures in the Winte Mountains. To make their efforts more impres- sive, a brook of real water has been secured and an ex- perieneed man enzased tomakeit leap and sparkledown the mountsin side Just as it did when Daisy and the Professor did their courting on the moasy bauks. 53} Forns.— MINNIE PALMER.

Mr. Bigelow says he is confident of eventual success, and will next Monday present the petition of thé prisoner to the Supreme Court of the United States for its action. He believes that when the case 1s fully resented that the court will coincide with the udge Advocate General that the prisoner was im- properly convicted. Tue Howaarte Case.—District Attorney Corkhill said to-day that it was not improbable that How- gate would reappear in the city rather than per- Init all his property to go by default, as it would under the recent motion made by the government in the civil case against Howgate, if the defendant. fails to appear. If Howgate should turn up the criminal case against him would be taken up. Otherwise it will probably rest undisturbed on the docket of the Criminal Court, together with others in which the defendants have escaped from con- finement. .

The Jeannette Investigation. }AWORTHINESS OF THE VSSSEL. Chief Engineer Edwin Farmer, who was a mem- ber of the board of survey detailed to inspect the Jeannette prior to her sailing from San Francisco, was before the Jeannette investigating board to. day. He testified that the vessel was perfectly seaworthy, and as well adapted for Arctic cruising as any vessel could be made which was remodeled and not bulit specially for Arctic cruising. Capt. DeLong, upon her trial trip, expressed himseli leased with the Jeannette, and Chiet Engineer elville sald he had everything he needed in his department of the vessel. Asked to give his opinion of the Jeannette as an arctic cruiser, he satd he never examined the vessel out of the ‘water, but his opinion was it would have Deen better if the Jeannette had had more dead rise, which would have enabled her to get better through cakes of tee. The Jeannette was an old Vessel, and of course would not equal a new vessel, with all the modern appliances and new inven- tons. Still, for one remodeled, she was placed in as good condition as was possible for Arctic cruls- ingand to the satisfaction of her officers. The machinery and bollers of the vessel were adequate to the work required of her. Witness thought for an Aretie voyage a vessel should be a new one, especially” built, and with all the Modern appliances incorporated in her. When the board was about leaving after their in- spection of the vessel, not a single officer made any complaint touching thelr respective depart ments. Capt. De Long, on her trial trip, expressed Dimselt as pleased at what had been done for the Jeannette by the authorities at the Mare Island havy yard. Witness did not know why there had been A deviation in the original plans forstrength- ening the vessel, other than some of the articles which would enter Into the construction as origin- ally recommended could not be obtained. Commander E. R. Calhoun was recalled before the board, and sald he never represented to the Navy department that the Jeannette was not adapted to the service upon Which she was about to be sent.
