Perting SELECT LFrom tbe Overland Monthdri A LOVE LEGEND. OF THE MoNTECITO GRAPE-VINE. Nestled between the cloud-upped mountains and the sea, in the sunny r Here, through the long winter months,the air is mild and balmy, and the hills are rich with verdure. Pepper and acacia-trees mingle the grave of their perennial foliage with that of the sturdy live-oak and the dry. leaved olive; all the year round; while flowers, both wild and cultiva ted, bloom in abounded profusion. :Santa Barbara ciahns to be one of the most favored spots on the globe for bealthfulners, the geniality of its climate, and the beauty and produe ti‘..eness of its semi-tropical vegeta tion. Differing from the Neapoli tans, the Santa Barbarans say, "See Santa Barbara and live!" About four nines from the town, in the valley of Montecito, grows the now famous grape-vine, one of the wonders' for the tourists in southern California. It is the largest on rec ord. It measures tour feet, four inch es in circumference at the ground, forty-one inches two feet from the ground, and rises eight feet before branching out; then, spreading with extreme luxuriance, its branches cov er more than five thousand square feet, and are supported by fifty-two trellises. The largest brunch is thir ty inches in circumference, and were it not for rigid pruning, the branch es would extend indefinitely in ev ery direction. It is of the Mission variety and exidingly prolific, pro ducing annually from five to six tons of grapes, which hang in massive clusters beneath the trellises, the ef fect of which, in the mellow autumn tint( , excites admiration and wonder. 1 t is claimed that it has produced 7,- otio bunches of grapes, varying from one to four pounds in weight each. A bean was put in a vase for each bunch plucked, until the beaus num bered seven thousand. It grows on a sunny slope of the' foot-hills, emu ' mending a fine view of the rugged mountains in one direction, and in the other, the lovely Montecito vat ley, with glimpses of the blue Pacif ic. The vine is irrigated by waters from the hot springs a few miles dis tant; and the country about the vine is very beautiful and Mexican in its natural and artificial surroundings. There is a tradition connected with the origin of this vine we wish to record. Seventy years ago, during the occupancy of the Mission fathers, there lived in the vicinity of Los Angels a beautiful young Spanish girl. Nearly all Spanish girls, while in the bloom and freshness of youth, possess more or less of Weir national east of beauty; but the Senorita Mar cellina from childhood, been the acknowledged queen among the wai -1 dens of her native place. Her eom. plexion, tinged with the warm, bru nette hue of her race, was clear and bright with tne rich tint of health. Her wealth of black hair fell in.r.p. piing waves far below her waist; and her large dark eyes were fringed with silken lashes that matched the exquisite pencilling of the arched brows above them. Her parents, though belonging to the better class of Spanish, had become poor through extravagance and mismanagement, and had formed the project of better ing their fortunes by wedding their lovely daughter to some wealthy Don. The lovely Marcellina did not lack for admirers nor ardent lovers, and among them all Senor Barbs de Do mingues was the favorite and the ac cepted suitor. He was handsome, tall,and manly, but alas! without for tune, and socially not the equal of Marcellina. As may be supposed, his suit met with no encouragement from the Don and Dona Feltz., and they,finding the attachment between the young people was becoming stronger than accorded with their plans for their daughter, resolved to remove to Santo Barbara—a mission some hundred males north—where resided many wealthy families, among whom they doubted not an alliance would be formed suitable in fortune and position. The announcement of their con templated removal struck dismay to the hearts of Marcellina and Carlos; but the latter, receiving courage from desperation, presented his suit to the B __. :•_.- .„,, :,,,..,,..,, • ~.„,;....,,, 4:. .. 1 . . • •,, • , • ~ ...,. . .. . .

In the interval thus granted, the time for the return of Carlos would I expire; and sfircellina prayed daily for the return of her betrothed, with' the fortune that was to find him fa vor In the eyes of her parents. The two years were rapidly drawitig to a close, and yet no sign or token had come, save what she found in the vigorous growth of her cherished vine. At length her parents, press ed with poverty and weary of their prolonged indulgence to what they considered an idle fancy, fixed the day for the, edding of the suitor of their choice, whose only recommen dation was his wealth. The eve of Mitrcellina's wedding day was the second anniversary of the parting in the olive-grove, when Carlos told her that, if he did not re turn or send her word within two years, she might know he was dead. She had crept away from the scene of busy preparation within her home and, hiding herself beneath the sha dow of her beloved vine—which was now large enough to shelter her from casual observation in the uncertain gloaming—she sobbed and wept call ing upon the Virgin, in hopeless an guish, to take her away to the spirit world, where she believed Carlos to be. Approaching footsteps arrested her attention. She started guiltily apd attempted to hide her tears, for Ale dared not let her parents know she still mourned her absent lover. "Linn—Lina!" greeted her ears in a familiar voice, and stayed her flight. Tremblingly she awaited the near approach of the intruder, when, with one wild, joyous cry of "Car los 1" she dropped into his arms, her beautiful head pressed close to his throbbing heart. It was indeed Carlos, returned at last, faithful to his promise, bringing with him a fortune at least equal to that of her aged and detested suitor. Carlos, with faith in his love and confidence in his ultimate success, followed the Indian tierces the coast range into the heart of the Sierras; where he proved the honesty of his guide and the truth of his promises by the marvellous deposits of gold to which he led them. Two years suf ficed to gain the fortunes for which they so earnestly sought and strove. All other things being egad, the Don and Donna consented that their daughter sholnd choose between the suitors, and the next day, instead of being led to the altar a wretched sac rifice to their ambition and avarice, she went as the willing and happy bride of her adoring Carlos. Years passed away;Don and Donna Feliz died, and reverses depriftred Carlos of his wealth. But, strange to say the faithful vine, once a token of fidelity between the lovers, now became the means of support; for so prolific had it become, and so little did the indolent Spanish about them turn their attention to the culture of the grape, that its fruit brought them an income sufficient for their maintenance. About twelve years ago a second vine sprang up near the original one, and grew rapidip, until now it near ly equals it in also. A large dancing floor waserected beneath the shadow of the vine, and here the Spanish youths and maidens united in -the merry dunce on Sabbath evenings. according to their national custom.

Judge Oro tier, for Caldwell's counsel, was, however,. present, and the investign lion proceeded by the examination of ex-61ov. Carney of Leavenworth, Kansas. Before beginning his testi _many, Gov. Carney said that there were certain transactions between men that ought to be regarded as se cret, and he was 'sorry that some things of such a character which took idaee bayou himself, Mr. Caldwell and Len. T.-Smith had already been revealed by Smith and Caldwell. Gov. Carney added that be had !winded 'going 40 Topeka when the Legia' lativeinvestigation took place there on acumntof the secrecy of the arrangements referred to. Senator Morton remarked that Gov.

His testimony was sub-. stantlaßy as follows; Some Halo before the meeting of the Legbgature, perhaps a week. or - Son !itayer the witness was told by liftatiott,a banker at Leavenworth, that Mr. Caidwelt and Mr. Smith Would , like to see him. He wet them at the First National Bank interview _ pe. du g many ye past had been heavy, and, his support now would be simply a matter of dollars au¢s; he would do it for $15,000. ~*ltiwell said that he wuuld give him $L5,000 when he was elect ed. ThatiDarney would notagree to, and au the matter ended for the time. , . When the Legislature met. Carney did not go toTopeka forseveral days. During the latter part of the week when he did go, and on the evening of his arrival; Len. Smith called up on him, and said that the canvass wasp.proceeding so favorably that witness's assistance was the only thing necessary to insure success. The next day Carney called together the Leavenworth delegation for con sultation. Three members of that delegationwetv in favor of Mr. Cal dwell's election, and they were the only ruembens of the Legislature whom Carney knew of who were his supporters. Some of the delegation pressed Carney to allow his name to be used. This he refused to do, say ing that if he was a candidate both he and Caldwell would be defeated. It was currently reported that Cald well would spend $250,000, and he, Carney would have no chance. car new afterward called together some of hics other friends in the Legislature and-Similar consultations took place. A number of these latter gentlemen then called on Mr. Caldwell, and on their return told Qov. Carney that they had come to thesameconelusiOn that he had, and that he) had better not stand as a candidate. Soon after this Carney told Smith that he would accept ills offer of $15,000. The bar gain was concluded. apd Smith asked as a favor that Carney would take his note at 30 dayafor $lO,OOO, and his due-bill for ss,ooo , the latter to be paid when CUldwell was elected. The $lO,OOO note was paid at maturi ty, but the $5,000 •was not paid until some time list spring. These nego tations took place between Smith and Carney alone, but the witness knew that Caldwell was a party to them, became he had asked Smith to pay the due-bill, but Smith replied that Caldwell was to pay it, Carney af terward had several conversations with Caldwell about this $5,000. On one occasion Caldwell said that the Kansas Piscine Railroad owed him some money as a part or his election expenses. but that they had not paid lt, and that the railroad would not get any legislation, as far as he was concerned. until they did pay it. • Gov. Carney denied positively Len. Smith's statement that-Smith had paid him $7,000. The circum stances in 'connection with that $7,- 000 check, according to Gov. Carney, were as follows; About the Mil of of January, Mr. J. And ion came into the room which was used for the meetings of Caldwell's Campaign . Committee, and told Len. Smith, in witness's presence, that be must have $7,000 that evening. Smith Tied that he did not have it. A n rson ' aid that a check would do,. Mt that he must at all events have thninen- ey.

'Carney was then.questioned bilnuttonailsembers of the Comm tee in.regiard.to several points of his testimopy. At an early interview between Smith, Caldwell, and Car ney, Smftbtold.Caldwell that he had already Involved him to the amount of $40,000. Caldwell remarked that this was a large sum, and asked Car ney how much he thought the elec tion would cost. Carney replied that he had no doubt that he could carry the election for the sum it was cur rently reported he was willing to spend ($230,000). Smith thee told ' Caldwell that t was neceessary to have courage, and put-out money so that he should lead on the first ballot, and that if Caldwell would allow him to go on he would secure his election, or would pay half the expenses. The witness also remembered hearing Smith tell T. J. Anderson, when the latter asked for money for members of the Legislature, that they had used 111 the currency there was in the banks, but that they had sent for more, and that the members must be patient. Anderson was employed by Caldwell and Smith to secure -votes; be was to get them any way he,could, by the use of money, if ne ry.

Carney was asked if he knew or had heard of the pay ment of any money to Sidney Clarke for his expenses. Ile replied that he did not. In the evening after the Brat ballot had been taken, Len Smith came into a room where Car ney was, and asked for Caldwell. some one replied thas he was proba bly with Clarke. Smith exclaimed. "What the devil is he doing there! I have reckoned with all his men." On another occasion Carney heard Len Smith say that if he was in Cald- Caldwell's place he would not give Clarke a cent. It was generally un derstood that some arrangement had been made between them. Two or three days before the election a Mr. Manning, a member of the Legisla ture, called on Carney to ask his ad vice about voting, Carney told him that between Clarke and Caldwell he had better vote for the latter. Man ning said that he would not take any of Caldwell's money, but that if he could get u loan of $2.,000 for two or three years, on his note responsibly indorsed, be would vote for Caldwell. Carney mentioned the matter to Caldwell, and he said that he should be glad to give Manning such a loan. After the election Caldwell said that he did not have the money aqd could not, therefore, lend it. In closing his testimony Carney said that the Senatorial campaign of 1871, was a very dirty and very disgraceful one. A FAIR CAPTIVE. An American Lady Abducted from Jl.farseillesL'llvo Years a Captive in Egypt—How ,Slie was Carried Olf, cunt How Released. For the past two weeks the city of Marseilles, France, has been intense ly excited, la consequence of a very singular affair, the heroine of which is a lady of American birth, and ex cellent connections in this country. About six years ago, Henry F. Big elow, a commission merchant of No. 210 Canal street, New Orleans, failed in that city, in consequence of losses sustained during the civil war, and went to Marseiles, where he sue meded in obtaining a good position in a prominent mercantile house. Mr. Bigelow was a widower, and was accompanied by his only daugh ter, Bertha. then about eighteen years old, and endowed with remark able personal charms. Her father moved in the best society of his blew home, and the beauty and grace of his daughter were not long in attract ing admirers. She treated them po litely, but, alter all, coldly, until one day she was brought in contact with a dashing Frenchseatnao,of the First Oriental steamships. His name was Maurice Kervel. He was but little over thirty yam old, tall and hand some, an excellent conversatiottalist, and the very man ta wit/ the good graces of a susceptible young lady. He became very intimate with Miss Bertha Bigelow, aud oue day he as- Welshed her father not a little by asking him for the hand of his charm ing daughter. Mr. Bigelow was at firatinclined to look favorably upon the suit of the enamored sailor, the more so 115 his daughter seemed to reciprocate his affection; but a dale inquiry into the affairs and.chameter of 111. Maurice Kernel, cony ineed.Mr. Bigelow that he was not a suitable match for his daughter. He found that Kervel was a man of extrava gant habits and choleric temper; that when under the influerice of liquor be was extremely quarrelsome, and had fought-several duels; that he bad run-through with the fortune his par ents had left him. and that he had nothing to depend on but his very modest pay. The result of all this witathat he was requested to discon tinue his visits. .'Kernel- left Mr. Bigelow muttering threats of re veuge. - Missitertha seemed to I mre very little about the breaking MT of this flirtation with her lover, and in 1868 _ artner, and t ' =llll Established 1818- she was married to a merchant named Jouvinet, a.man of mew, with Nhom she lived happily fora yolk In 3une,1869; her hitsband-re turned one evening to his - delightful .country residence. but-to his aston- Jahmentolid not find his wife its her .apirrtmerits.

Jou vinet searched every nook of the gar den and the neighborhood, but until trace of his •beautiful wife was to be found. He sent out messengers in all directions, but they returned without bringing any information. An examination of the lady's boudoir furnished' no 'clue whatever as to where she might have gone. The husband -passed a wretched night, hoping every, moment for his wife's return; but morning dawned and she had tot yet come. He then sent for the police, and several detectives le- gas to look for the missing Judy. They were unable to find any trace of her after a protracted and patient search. Advertisements, offers of large rewards for inibrneation con minim her, remained without re suit. Both the luistoned end father abandoned. all hopes of seeing her again, and au Impenetrable veil seemed to surround her fate. Jou vinet, after mourning for her km for eighteen months, applied to the Court for an annulation of his mar riage with Miss Bigelow, and he was waiting for a rendition of the decree when, on the 3d of November last, as event of the most startling char acter occurred. Ile was seated in his counting room in the Rue Grande, pouring over his ledger, when the door was suddenly opened, and a veiled lady stepped in. She drew back her veil, and displayed a bronz ed face,the features of which he knew only too well. In the next moment he rushed into her arms, exclaiming, "Bertha! Bertha!" It is his long lost wife. The explanations elle gave him while they sat locked In each other's arms, about her sudden and long ab sent*, were so strange that even the chroniquor of the Marseilles Noure lisle, to whose pen we are indebted for all these partieulars, confessed he had rarely met with anything more romantic in his long Journalistic ca reer. Mine. Jouvinet stated that on the evening when she had been part ed from her husband she had gone Into the garden to breathe a little fresh air. All of a sudden she had been seized by several men, who rushed from behind a shrub. In an instant they had blindfolded and gagged her, and carried her to a car rillgO, whicra pidly drove off with her. Then had become uncon scious, and when she awoke again, she found herself in the cabin of a ship,which was rocking in the waves. To her dismay; Aratirice Kervel was the tint who entered her cabin. He told her cooly that he had long ago left the naval service of France, and was now master die bark in the Le vant trade. She then implored him to restore her to liberty, which he refused, informing her at the same time that she would henceforth have to live with him his villa in the eh - pitons of Alexandria; and he threatened to kill her in case she at tenipt toesetipe. Her prayers, her liars, her despair, were unavailing, and, trusting to meet by-and-by with an opportunity to communicate with her folks, she followed Hervel to Al exandria. The house to which he excel," isnot well treated, leave the place. A very stric-L - veillance was kept over her by the servants, whose language she was unable to understand. She began al ready to despair, when Kervel one day told her she must go with him up the Nile. Two days afterward he brought her to the country place of a wealthy Fgyptian, Balan Bey, and to her horror be found that Kervel had ceded her to him, and that she was henceforth to be the inmate of an Oriental harem,filled with Egypt ian and Abyssinian women, who looked with decided aversion upon the fair-new-comer. For four months she endured all the horrors of this life, when she was one day introduc ed by Ilalan Bey to an elderly man, who was no other than Nuber Pas cha, a noted Egyptian diplomatist, and conversant with the French lan guage. She confided herself to him, he immediately promised to restore her to her husband. A few days af terward she was on board the Alex andrian steamship Caluthee, bound for Marseilles. The Marseilles papers, in commen ting on this extraordinory ise de mand that President Theirs should insist upon the extradition of Kervel on the part of the Egyptian authori ties 4 Kervel is said to be quite a fa vorite of the Khedive's, and a man of the most desperate character. . -7, - Ruined, Deserted and Re.nni ted at Last-4 Itoinauce in Real Life hi 01Mom. On Friday list there appeared at the office of Esquire Culbertson, in Venango boro, Crawford county, a very neatly attired and handsome looking young lady, of about twenty years of age. who sought a private interview with the Squire. It was accorded her, and she proceeded to unravel a very remarkable and yet romantic episode in the history of her life. Five years ago, when she was about fifteen years of age. she was living with a family who resided in Cussewago township, about two miles from Venango bore. During the time the resided there, a young man came along and stopped for a few weeks at the house where she was staying, being a friend or ac quaintance of the family. While this young man was there, who was only about sixteen years of age, the family had occasion to visit some friends at a distance, which would require a stay of some three days, and in their absence left the young girl and the young man beforespoken of to take awe of the house. A storm cowing up, the old folks were de layed from home longer than they expected, but when they returned they found everything apparently all right. In a few days the youngi man left, and in due season the young' girl hail to take upon herself the name of mother, without. however, the honors.

Mr. Mead, Deputy Sheriff, proceeded at once to the spot, and removed the body to the office of Dr. Russell. in our neighboring city. Here everything was done to induce the ebbing tide of 'life to re turn, but all efforts proved futile— the spirit returned to its Creator. From an examination of some papers and letters found on the unfortunate man, it would appear that he carne from Omaha. The letters were dated Napoleon, Ohio, and addressed to W. F. Hague, Omaha, Neb. They were written by a "Mrs. Hague," and were the oiitpourings of a loving heart to a wayward and intemperate husband, appealing to him for God's sake and the love he bore her and the little one lying upon her bosom, to cease drinking, to become a man once more and return to his family. Such Was the victim—such the wife , and such the horrible end. Alas! for poor mortality. 314TRIIIONIAL TROUBLEM.

The court rightly held that the wed ding lacked an essential point of consum mation, and that the lady Was tree to re sume her maiden name. Another case. just developed, is that of an enterprising youngster whO married a lady of wealth, forged a power ot attorney over her own anti her mother's property and depar'ed after a week's honeymoon with $25,000 a his ill gotten gains.
