A REMARKABLE STORY.

mtory of Two Elopers From Santa lsm * Barbara.

Seavy fne1 lv n^ecl iP as Chief of Police of ft' SKwi-very popular in Santa ?S a Si eloping couple went to Suu, nnd all trace ot_ thorn was lost SeivVclcction in Omaha .recently was ' n,mc»cl The rest of the story has 3e ?« been unknown. Yoiu- reporter to-day the only person in the United £ bePides Seavy, who knows the V The question "Is Mrs Paddock SLSu wi*h Scavey?" has been .Si by innumerable people familiar with S»««:p The followinjc story is derived ufittiti '" thls dt >' of tho highesb Stability and unquestioned veracity. t^and Mrs Seavy.. as I shall call soon tiveel of Honolulu, and took a steamer for Australia. Arriving at Auck .nr} they concluded to make their future to there, and opened a toy shop and did ithriving business. Ihey were a most de oted couple. She was a fair fragile woman und Bppcarotl very sad. Her health ris .ic!;cate. They removed to Dunedm, wharo Ssivy entered into partnership with another man and took a contract away up jna warsoly settled part of the north of tbo island. Their wives went with them. They built huts and lived like the Australian pioneers. Before long the countiy was visited by one of those long rains so fre quent in that part of the world, and the nvcrd rose rapidly. The bridge near where the party lived was washed away. The floods did great damage and many lives tud much stock were lost. "In common with other settlers, the Seavy party built a raft and embarked, Sc&ting down the river, hoping to find themselves fast. Night came on and their terrors increased. Once Mrs Paddock was washed from Seavy's arms, but he miracu lously managed to catch her. Again she was carried away, and despite all his efforts to gave her she drowned. Ouo of the jurvivQi'S said afterward that when Mrs Paddock was borne away Seavy called: 'For Cod's sake, Gracie, 'say you forgive bo!' Tliat Seavy returned to America done ia attested by Mr Lloyd, of Monrovia, who- states that Seavy cams from New Zealand to Chicago via. London on the same tameras Mr Lloyd."

FAST STEAMSHIPS.

Reducing the Time of Crossing tbo Atlantic Oocao.

"Gazette" says: Favoured largely with fair winds and a smooth sea, theCunarcl steamer Umbria has succeeded 'd mincing the Atlantic record by two louraand a half, and it now stands at six daya and three hours between Queenstown and Xetr York. Her sister ship, the Etrujia, stands second, at six days and five hours, but the new North German Lloyd lino steamer now being built will make BJnel) faster voyages to and from South ampton, and the German and International Company's two steamers, the keols of rticn have just been laid, will bring the re cord down to five days and a half. One fjood effect of this Atlantic competi tion will be tbe placing of better boats on the Pacific, the displaced boats of the Atlan tfcboirjjfi-e-engmed and sent around to trade between Vancouver City and Chinese and Japanese ports. It is a question, however, if the rage for fast stcaminp suits the com panies, who would like to rest on their oars, or screw-propellers, and earn dividends. Ship-builders and engineers are continually forcing them to re-model their fleets, and to keep advancing with the times. 'Another firm is said to have accepted a contract for ships that will do thirty miles an hour.

PARLIAMENTARY LEADERS.

Fsrncl!, Gladsto: c, and Randolph ChurchU'.

Mr Gladstone, and possibly Lord Randolph Churchill, the most remarkable %w« in the House of Commons is Mr Par- Besi the leader of the Irish party. It is very °dd, but it can hardly be regarded as a mere that each of the parties has as jjspopular leader a man who reminds us of !i-PJ eral characteristics of the party *«ich he leads by contrariety rather than * identity. The leader of the English aeaocracy—a democracy straightforward Ml slow of speech-is Mr Gladstone, one Tl, i ? Qsfc Sarrulons and wily of men. Sr lea«er of the English Conservatives, we party of stolidity and caution, is Lord 27 h Churchill, apolitical Flibberty wn X whose mind is as nimble as a lively mouse in a windy barn, and who is one of ZT\ m]dm of political gamesters. We leader of the Irish people- a race S vlovial passionate oratory, raxesa> abandon, and a more than regal £?S^'r 13 Ml> Paraell, a man who never 2l ]? ke, ln his Hfe> a cold- "nimpas- JJ»«*loilator, who holds himself in re untaT? Wlth his intimates, and whose bm^f °ev6rbeen relieved by a single SI P485100^ favour.
