A. KYBTBBIOJJA, ADVBNTtrHB.
Dr. Edward L— ——y who spent some years
in Paris, during tbe reign of Loois Pbillippe,
acquiring greater proficiency in the art of sur
geryymafwith at least ono'etrange,' Carious,
and :excitingsdventure, which we no* record
in Lis ,o*n Janguage; ,
I am naturally as fond of adventure in real
ity (s a '3 the doctor,)'as mW persons are of
redding about l it; and this admission, I trust,
will be sufficient explanation of wbyl became
connected with the mysterious affair !am about
to relate-.
One evening, while returning late from a
convivial party to my lodgings, where I had
drank a good many healths in a good deal of
verf good wine, as I was" sauntering my way
along one of the numerously named quays of
tbe Seine, not ‘ far from the Hotel Dieu—tbe
oldest hospital in Paris, and,by the by, one of
the best in the world—humming over a tune,
and, by the way of variety, thinking over some
of the stories I had'heard of persons being as
sassinated in this vicinity and thrown into tbe
river which I could see'rolling below me, a
woman, cloaked and hooded, brushed past me
at a quick pace. As ,1 had not heard her till I
saw her, and believing myself alone in that
locality, I felt my blood quicken with a slight
start, and I began to mutter as I searched for
a knife; tbe only weapon I carried.;
“If.-you was only a-man now, my fine lady,
instead of a woman, as you are—God bless the
se! collectively—l—”
Here I stopped, because she did, wheeling
round, facing nie, and looking as if she were
taking my dimensions.
‘‘Five feet, nine and a half in boots,” said I,
the wine making me rather saucy; “weight,
one hundred.and fifty-five, dinner included;
age, say twenty-five, more or lees, generally
more and mighty good-looking for a man of
my site.” ,
Here I put my hack against a convenient
post and began to whistle—the woman all the
time eyeing ms: closely. Then she came to
ward me, and said in a low. sweet-voice—at
least I thought so then :
“Will monsieur pardon me ?”
“Of course I will, mademoiselle, since you
don’t owe me anything, and are not likely to*"
said I, thinking myself uncommonly civil,
which Was all owing to the very good wine I
bad drank,
“Is monsieur a doctor ?”
“I have that honor, mademoiselle.”
“A surgeon, monsieur?”
“Not quite equal to Monsieur Blandin, bqt
still a surgeon, at your service, mademoiselle.^.
‘‘Monsieur is an Englishman ?” she said,
perceiving by my accent that I was a foreigner.
“I am,’' returned I, elevating my head with
an air of pride.
“The Englishmen nre bravo.”
“Some of them, mademoiselle.”
“And they are also gallant.”
“They possibly have the fault, if fault it is,
especially when a pretty woman is in the ease.”
Here my fair unknown, aa if without think
ing, so clever was tbe art, pushed back her
hood and. showed me, by tbe dim light ota
neighboring lamp, one of the sweetest, pretti
est, .most bewitching faces I had ever seen.
“Monsieur is a doctor, a surgeon, an Eng
lishman, and a brave aaa gallant gentleman ;
therefore monsieur will come with me and save
a sufferer’s life by his great skill.”
“Of course I will, said I. steadying myself
by the poet, for the wine’had somehow been
increasing its power ever since Reaving my
friends. “Of course I will, mademoiselle—only
too happy to serve such a beautiful creature—
'pen the henor of a Frenchified English gen
tlemen chirurgeon I Pray lead the way mad
emoiselle,"
“Will monsieur be so kind as to take my
arm ?”
Monsieur was so kind—monsieur would have
done almost anything had he been asked just
then.
Twsnfj paces or so brought us to the stops
of one of tbe ports leading down to tbe Seine.
My fair unknown decended, and so did I,
without asking wherefore. If she had jumped
info the water just then, probably I might have
jumped in after her. She didn’t, though, and
that probably accounts for my not being a dead
doctor to-day.
Well, as she and I reached tbe stair, a boat
rowed by, two men shot up to us, and before I
exactly comprehended what was doing, or bow
it was done, I fmind myself seated on one of
tbfi thwarts, rapidly going somewhere, still
rowed by tbe two men.
“Whew 1” thought I, “here is an adventure,
whether I will or no. Dr. L—, you gouty
wine-bibber, you have probably made an ass
of yourself, and are now going to have your
throat out for the little money you are sup-'
posed to. have,, but yon haven’t got it about
your person. Well, Dr. L , it’s too, late
to whine.or repine now, and so not a word.”
And not a word did J say, rather liking than
otherwise,’ all except the hiurderingpart, which
I hoped migbt-bes’there fancy'of my own, so
really fondwaa Inf adventure.
- W e .were not many minuteson (ha river, and
doping that time jva shot, e|ongpast houses,
under bridges, andatnong the. river craft with
great swiftness,' but not a word' was spoken.
Saddenly we ran into ft low, dark arch; and
soon after oameto a stop in gbmh place,where,
sof*r at sseing-Mias copcernedrloouldn’t have
told myself Jrom abarrel of jnk <:
monsieur ,ledoctor,
depends ’ifpod JTS”'siifl‘a low/ stern*wbftjftr id
. iftlain 'dii mb- ara post,’?, said I, :/t taiire so, if
anything. If yqtr bear m« apeak before yon
are ready; blow, my-brains out4-that is, what
few are left.” j ' ii. i. :
'‘Silence 1 You are a- brave jinan, and will’
hot be harmed, Ibut will be wellijpaid for yoar
trouble." 1 I 1
‘‘Thank you, all right; and being all right,
as Davy Crockett need to express it, go ahead,”
This was hot isiH the talk of wine. I was
getting sobered down pretty fast, and almost
wished myself safe ip bed in my lodgings, but
thought It. best to darry oat my previous sang
froid. , - j
‘‘A capitaieorgeon. so far as coolness is con
cerned,” I beard Whispered from one to the
other. ' ,j
•"Come, follow te-Uead, and remember!”
said'that stern whisper again, iipd at that mo
ment a strong hand took bold of mine.,,
r arose, stepped from the ,boat to some stairs,'
went up’the steps and through a long narrow 1
passage, all the time in a darkneip that might
have been cut with a knife, so to speak, and in
silence, that Death himself might base been
satisfied with. i
•At last'we entered an underground place,
that seemed to be a large crypt, as I hastily
surveyed by the light of a flambeau that a
masked figure held in its hand, ■[■ The other
masked figures, all in black gowns, Or dominoes,
were standing beside them, and a glance at ,my
guide showed'him habited and niksked in the
same manner. The girl was not present.
Monsieur le chirurgien,” said aloud voice,
“ swear by your honor as a gentleman, you

'• I swear never to make the slightest revela

“ Enough, Secret assassination will be the
penalty if you break your oatb. Now follow
me.” 'I

“Well, monsieur?” said an anxious voice
“ There is no help for it, the leg roust come
off,” I replied, by this time completely so
bered. ’ '
“ Monsieur will it.oflf?”
“.I have not my surgical implements with
mei” j
“ Here are all monsieur can need.”
Without another word I took off my coat,
rolled up my sleeves,[and went to work, the
masks assisting me. The poor sufferer fainted
under the painful operation. When all was
finished, one of the men,said to me in a low,
anxious tone; 1
“ Will he survive ?” I
“ With careful attention and nursing, I think
he will.” ,
“ Thanks. ' Monsieur le docteur will write
down all necessary instruction.”
Pen, ink, and paper being furnished me, this
I proceeded to do. When all this was comple
ted, a heavy parse was placed in my hand,
and tbe mask said: I
“Monsieur le docteur will not forget his
oath r
“ Not likely toj with assassination in
prospective,”' said 1. ' ,
“Enough. Come.” '
I followed my conductor down into the crypt
again, and then, in total darkness, was led
through a succession of Jong narrow passages,
alternating with stairs, the same as before, but
■not ending, where I began—for a door was at
last thrown open* and I suddenly found myself
in a dark, narrow street. I beard a slight
click behind me, and on looking around was
greatly aurpritled to find myself alone, standing
beside a church, and only a blank wall where
I expected to jfnd a door at least. The stones
-were all alike, !as far as 1 could see, and noth
ing to indicatejan opening of any kind. And
yet I had either come through that wallj or else
I was dreaming. Was I dreaming ? ; I was
not sure, thougjh tbe purse that had beec( placed
in my hand felt very heavy indeed.
“ Well,” thought I, ‘j this will do for one
night, at- any. fate ; and now, like the Dutch
burgomaster in the play, I’ll go home and
think.” !
I was some distance from the Seine j but I
soon found the river, and in less than half an
hoar after my lodgings also, which I reached
just as the day was breaking.
I went to bed, and went to sleep, and slept
till noon, and (hen gotjup and counted my
money—fifty napoleons, io good, hard, heavy,
yellow .gold. ~
“ Well,” said I, “ if my last night’s adven
ture was a dream, I onlyj hope and pray' I may
keep on dreaming so every night.” |
But what was all this i|iystery ? What could
it mean ? Pshaw I why trouble my brain
about it, since probably I should never know ?
On taking my breakfat—or dinner if you
ohooae—at the Cafe de Tortoni, I looked over
the columns of iLe Moniteur and Unicersel, and
soon found myself deeply interested in the de
tails of the astounding assassination of Mad
ame —, —, a well known favorite of the king of
the French. Her apartments bad been entered
; by a band of masked assassins, and the lady
stabbed in her bed; Her dying screams had
brought assistance, bat not sufficient to secure
the ruffians, all of whom had escaped, though
one of them had been abot, bpt was carried off
by bis. companions. One hundred thousand
francs.reward had been offered for the appre
hension and conviction of the ruffians, or any
of thorn. | ' '

the. brother of the writer, whose danghterrwejre

long and persevering efforts to "get away.lrop -
the South to their own homejn Penhsylyitn^,"
My two daughters arrived from thefijpqjh
this week, after suffering many, hardships .gpd
much anxiety, and are now safe at home. ..They
started 1 bn the 20th of February, last,-from
Huntsville, Alabama, Mary‘ taking, pp, the
body of her little girl,, which hscl beeif.pqi
balmed and buried in a metalic Cbffin.;. Thsy
had letters from some of. the most 'proipinagt
men of Huntsville, to'the Secretary of War, at
Richmond, asking him to give them a pass.—-
They came on to Richmond, some six hundred
and odd mile?, had an interview with the Sec
retary, presenting their letters, and urging him
to permit them tp go through.thp lines. * They
frankly told him they , were . Northern-ladies,
that all their friends resided at the. North,
their hearts and their sympathies Tjere, allwith
the North, but that while .they had remained
in the South, they had dealt honorably, and
conducted themselves prudently, giving,, to no
one offence, and never intruding on* anyone
their own opinions; and for the proof of.this
they referred to the letters they brought" from
Southern gentlemen well known to the Secreta
ry. After spending some two* or three days of
earnest entreaty, and endeavor to obtain'd pas?,
they were, politely and coldly told that they
could not go on—-“ Ladies, we regret that itja
so ; but the public safety requires that we per
mit no such persons as you appear to.' be,. |o
pass North with intelligence. You had better
retorn back, and await the development of'fii.
tare events.”
This final, answer was to Mary almost death.
She had beeh sick'; she had buried her husband
in New York, and now she had . with her the
remains of her only child, trying to reach with,
it her home, where she might haveits grave
near her. When the final answer was ‘given
her she nearly fainted. It was not.so with
Martha. Till then she had possessed less for
titude and oonsage than Mary, Now, the whole
current of her feelings was changed to intense
indignation add hate, and she felt that she
could endure anything, and go through any
hardships for her sister.
The next morning, with their melancholy
freight, they started on their return South) ana
«= far a« Tilmxa-y, WashingtoniCo.unts. say
about three hundred miles from Itichmond—
the location of Emory and Henry College— r
and took up their residence,in a family with
whom Mary "was well acquainted, and with
whom she had before visited. There she burled
her little Annie in the family burying ground
of , and where she will rest till she can
be brought North. '
They immediately wrote to their (Heads in
Huntsville, to ascertain .the practicability of
going up through Southern Tennessee toKash
ville, and were told in answer that the w|iole
route, either by Murfreesboro or Columbia,Vas ■
so' infested by guerrillas, that it would be ex
tremely dangerous, and that they had'better re
main where they were, and “wait on Provi
dence for a chance to go home.” To—; ani
bis family, the girls owe a deep debt of grati
tude for their kindness and attention. With
them they remained about six weeks, when,
seeing in the Southern papers anaecountof the
operations in the Shenandoah Valley, and hear
ing it said that the Yankee vandals would prob
ably take Stanton, they immediately started
North again, going up the Rail Road to Lynch
burg, thence to Charlottesville, and then by the
Central Virginia to Stanton. When they got
there they found that they could get nearer our
lines, so after a few days, they went down the
valley turnpike, as far as Mount Sidneyj.whiph
is ten miles from where the battle of* Cross
Keys was fought. Hhere they were stopped,
and, takjijg board in the family of a widow la
dy, they resigned themselves to their fate, of
fering up prayers for the speedy capture of
Mount Sydney, including themselves, by the
“vandal Yankees.” Here they remained some
three months, Waiting in vain for the advance
of the Union army, and trying to invent soma
plan to escape through the lines. They waited
personally pn “Stonewall” Jackson, pud etu
treated him; to grant them permission to go
through, but he absolutely refused. They nlj
so went themselves,'with others, to the bead!
quarters of Gen. Ed. Johnson, told him their
situation, anil begged of him a pass through
tßplines. He told them he regretted very muc-H
that he had no power to comply with their
wishes, for he had received orders to let no per
sons of Union proclivities pass North. They
then told him that, live or die, they should go
through, even if they.'had to go at the sacrifice
of their baggage, and at the risk of fighting'
their way, and being shot down in the attempt,
Gen. Johnson told them- he appreciated
feelings, admired their courage, and hoped
they might succeed, bat that he had nd power
to grant them a pass. , , . ■
At the time of the battle of Cross Keys, and
Port Republic, the; were within bearing, and
had for a time no doubt that the Federal ariqy
would succeed in capturing the whole of “Stone-.
wall’’ Jackson’s artby,. and, had the army ,of
Shields, on the east side of the Shenandoah,
onlyhurnt the bridge at Port Republic, tha
rebel army of the valley would have been an
nihilated. You cannot .well imagine how, dial
spuhdent they must felt'when Banks re-t -
treated down' the'river from Harrisonburg, and
how eUiod they were, when they' learned flint
Fremont and others had got Jackson into the '
trap, near Port Republic, from which -they,
thought it impossible for him. to escape, arid
how they lost all hope; when they learned.that
oiiV army, by a most senseless blunder* had
permitted- their wily foe; to escape. They- my

the valley, were tb'o>oar of cannon down ,tpa.
