ALLENTOWN, PA., NOVEMBER 24, 1860
ONE of the greatest achievements of the age,
the opening oftho Suer. Canal, is accomplished.
It is regarded as second only to our trans
continental rallWay in its cost and commercial
importance. This canal connects the Bed Son
with the Mediterranean, forming a direct
route by water front the Atlantic commercial
cities to the Eastlndies, and saving in distance
more than three thousand miles over the route
by way of the Cape of Good Hope. The canal
is one hundred miles long, without locks or
other artificial appliances, and is open to navi
gators of every motion upon equal terms.
Its surface width is 828 feet, its bottom
width 240 feet, end Its depth 20 feet.
As few vessels now draw more than
22 feet it is navigable to vessels of the largest
class. This work had, up to June last, cost.
$55,000,000, but the total cost up to the pres
ent time has not been announced. The. rates
that-have been fixed upon by the managers of
the canal, for so ordinary Indianian, amount
to 82,300 in gold.
To a French Engineer and to France we
owe the conception and construction of this
great work. It has already given a wonder
ful Interest to commercial questions, and some
important changes in the trade of the world
are expected as.the result of its completion, as
distance and time have much to do with de
termining a route. It has already given a
wonderful impetus to population on the Isth
mus, such as was unknoWn in the old world,
and it has increased within the past twenty
years from 150 to 50,000 souls.
The following short sketch of the rise and
progress of the enterprise is taken from the
Ledger:— • • •
The first step towards the 'construction of the
present canal was made nearly a quarter of a
century ago. In 1846 n commission was issued to
Robert Stephenson, a son of the famous Inventor
of the locomotive, On the part of Great Britain, and
two other engineers, representing Austria and
France respectively, to examine the feasibility of
the undertaking. They reported it practicable to
construct a canal but they bNieved that the shift
ing sands of the desert would be likely to till It up.
The project was consequently laid aside until M.
Ferdinand de Lesseps, who had been French Con
sul-General In Egypt, revived it In 1854, procured
authprity to make a survey, which he finished the
same year. After four yearn of energetic Mllllllll.
log ho succeeded in organizing the Suez Canal
Company, with a capital of 000,000,000. For
many of the earlier years of the enterprise Eng
lish diplomacy threw all the obstacles Its logenui
ty could devise In the way of the execution of this
work, fearing' to allow France to construct a short
cut to her East India possessions. his now, how
ever, an nceompllshed fuel, and suspicion Is al
ready awakened that the count bits been so con
structed as to favor French shipping. and so made
that the heavier chew of English tonnage cannot
pass through. This, however, may have no het ter
foundation than sudoual Jealousy. which success
ful accomplishment is out well oaleulated to invite.
N 0. understand that I'. F. :smith, of Ches.
ter county, the present State reporter, is an
applicant for re-appointment. and that Samuel
B. Thomas, Esq., of Delaware county, is hp.
lug pushed for Prothonotary of the Supreme
Court for the Eastern District. Both of these
gentlemen are well known as staunch Repub.
lieuns and both would till the positions desired
with credit anti ability. Against them per

A COM II ITTEE wAvrEn
'The charge against Mr. W. 11. 'fiend)le, lute
State Treasurer, In Attorney General B. it.
Brea . ..tees letter to Governor Chary, has led
to some discussion in relation to the abuses
of that office: The salary of the Treasurer is
small and yet it is tt Minn for which men spend
thousands of dollars. elion it depends many
of the other others nt Harrisburg and we hero•
already of n contemplated tight fur this poi•
tion In the Legislature. We know nothing
about the manner in which things are man
aged, but the think enough lui transpired to
warrant the appointment of a conunittee to in
vestigate the accounts of that otllce for the last
all or eight years. Unfits. have been hon
estly managed, so much the better for the
credit of the party that it should be proved,
and if there has been defalcation or abuse of
the oflice, let the offender be pointed out and
punished. These vague insinuations are un
just to the party and the Individuals, and built
are entitled to au investigation. No party
ever yet gained anything by covering up the
misdeeds of its officials or no officer's honor can
he unstained while stispieien and insinuation
ts hanging over it.
Tumm Is a pretty well authenticated rumor
afloat to the cfli , ct that President Grant, in his
next message to Congress, will request that
the taxes be allowed to remain as they now
are, so that the satisfactory reductions In the
Public Debt may be continued through 1870.
That policy has been advocated in these col
umns and we hope the counsel of the Presi
dent will prevail. If Congress follows out
this idea the tax on Incomes, which has been
denounced by many of the leading journals
as very obnoxious, will still be enforced and
the wealthy will have to pay. into the Govern
ment a very small propbrtlon of those fortunes
made out of the misfortunes of that Govern
ment. The tax is a just one, we, contend.
Many loved ones were called upon to give
their lives—and the wealthy are now paying
their duty in income Tax. We are glad to
see a prospect of its continuance and hope it
will he more generally enforced.
It is said the President will also recommend
the speedy funding of the Debt at a lower rate
of Interest. If this is accomplished the saving
to the country will be immense, both front a
reduction orGovernmeut expenses and a con
sequent reduction of the Debt to that amount,
and from the lower rates of interest which will
then be demanded from business men.
Another recommendation' will be au early
return to specie payments. This measure will
meet with great opposition and we fear the
country will be agitated the , greater part of
the session by Its discusbion. For the sake of
the business community we hope It will be
disposed of summarily, either one way or the
other. It is continued uncertainty that un
settles values and makes business dull. Grave
apprehensions are expressed in some quarters
that resumption will bring about great distress.
Of course it will reduce prices. Anything
that is now $1.30 will then be $l.OO, but busi
ness could not he made worse than it now Is,
and as the entintry would be cleared from the
'Cloud - Of nneertaltify, hnslnean" Would sooner
mend. We imp*: Congress will either vote for
resumption, or cense to agitate the subject at

to operate against Cuba. they will nevertheless
release a similar number of vessels employed in
the Cuban waters, to be, used against Peru. Ac

United States Marshal at New York to seize the
gunboat' and hold them. The Cabinet is under

And yet, at the moment we look in upon
him—one August afternoon, as he occupied his
library—the proprietor to all this wealth ap
peared of all men the most miserable.
Ile was Mr. Morton Preble, for many years
a leading banker of Ban Francisco.
It was in vain that the broad bay-window
at the south end of the room had been opened,

Ile lay on a sofa, in the depths of the great

white se marble ; his eyes having an expression
of woeful apprehension, of harrowing anxiety,'
of dreadful expectancy.
It was evident at a glance that no merely
physical ailment had made him what he was.
By' what withering secret, by what destroy
ing affliction, had he been thug agonized ? thus
luiunted ? thus hunted f ho is so noble and
good ! he so wealthy and distinguished!
As he moved restlessly upon his luxurious
cushions the pretty clock on the mantel-piece
struck- five, every stroke seeming to fall like
a hammer upon the heart of the nervous in
valid. Ile aroused himself, struggling feebly
to a sitting posture.
" Oh, Will this fatal day never, never pass ?"
he mnrmered " nor bring us relief?"
Noticing with a nervous start that he was
alone, he touched a bell upon a table before
him, and called :
" Helen, Helen ! where arc you ?"
Before the echoes of his voice had died out
a step was heard, and his wife entered his
presence.
" I left you only for a moment, Morton, "
she said, advancing to the banker's aide.
"Yon were dozing, I think. I wished to send
for the doctor I"
She was a beautiful woman, of some six
and thirty years, graceful, with broad white
brows, and loving eyes, in which the bright.
ness and sweetness of a sunshiny nature were
still perceptible, under a grief and anxiety no
less poignant than that evinced by her husband.
" The,doetor !" he echoed, half reproach-
fully.
" Yes, dear," Ole said, in a calm and cheer
ful voice, as She drew a chair to this side of the
sofa, and sat down, stroking the corrugated
forehead of the invalid with a magnetic touch.
"Ho will be here immediately. Your last
nervous crisis alarmed me. You may become
seriously ill I"
Mr. Preble bestowed an affectionate look
upon his wife, but said despondently :
" The doctor I Ho cannot 'minister to a mind
diseased I' Oh, If these long hours would only
ass If I only knew what the day has yet
store for us I"
" Look up, Morton I" enjoined Mrs. Preble,
with a reverently trustful glance upward
through the open window at the blue sky, and
as if looking beyond the azure clouds therein.
" Let us appeal from the injustice and wicked
ness of earth to the goodness and mercy of
Heaven !"
The banker gave a low, sobbing sigh.
" I cannot look up, Helen," he answered,
with a passionate tremor in his voice—"only
down, down at the grave that is opening be-
ffire me I"
Mrs. Preble continued to stroke his fore
head softly, while she lifted her pale face to
the sunlight streaming into the apartment.
" Look up, Morton—always look up I" she
again enjoined upon the invalid. "During
all these fourteen years of agony, I have not
once doubted either the goodness or the jus
tice of Heaven. 'Blessed are they that mourn;
for they shall bo comforted.' I believe that
we shall yet'rejoice more keenly than we have
mourned, and that we shall coins to a glorious
day of joy beyond all this long night of sor
row I"
The face of the Invalid lighted up with an
answering glow, and he murmured :
" Glorious faith I My wife you are indeed a
blessed comforter I Perhaps after all, you are
right I"
A knock resounded on a side-door at thlB
juncture, and the next moment Dr. Hutton,
the family physician, for whom Mrs. Preble
had sent, entered the room.
He was an old man, portly in figure, with
white hair and heard, but with a fresh and
ruddy complexion, a pair of shrewd blue eyes,
and with an exuberant boyishness of manner
that sat well upon him. He had a kind heart
and a clear head. Me approached the sofa,
after greeting the husband and wife and lifted
the thin restless band of the invalid, feeling
his pulse.
"Quite a high fever," he said, after a brief
pause- " Worrying again, eh, Mr. Preble
You are wearing yourself out. Medicinewill
do you no good sn long no your mind is in its

" Not now, doctor," interposed the banker
" I cannot—must not—sleep to•dlly ! I need
to be broad awake now, for I cannot tell at
any moment what the next may bring forth.
I am looking for the culmination of all my
years of anguish—for the crowning agony of

sank back again on his cushions, pallid and
panting.

anxious, questioning glance.
"It is the anniversary," she replied to his
unspoken inquiry—•' the anniversary of nnr

" Ah, yes," said the doctor. "1 remember."
"Yes,it's another of those terrible days,"
cried the banker, in a hollow whisper. "Sit

am almost wild wills apprehension and anxie
ty. Sit down."
Dr. Hutton drew up a chair
- mid seated him.
self, his face expressing the double solicitude
of a friend and physician.
" You knew us fourteen years ago, doctor."
said Mr. Preble. "We lived then where we
do now, in a cottage on the site of this great
mansion. There were but the three of us—
Helen and 1, and our three-year old Jessie.
And it was fourteen years ago to-day that our
little Jessie was stolen from us."
"I remember it," said the doctor softly.
" Yet might she not have been lost, Mr. Pre
ble ? She went out to play in the garden, if I
remember rightly, and was never seen by you
again. • She might have strayed away—'
" So we thought for a whole year, doctor,"
interrupted the banker. "We never dreamed
that she had been stolen. We searched every
where for her, and offered immense rewards
for her recovery. I employed detectives, but
all to no purpose. When our little Jessie ran
down the steps into that Rower-garden," and
he pointed to the front of the house "as if the
earth had opened and swallowed her up, we
never saw her again."
" She must have found the gate open, and
wandered out," suggested Dr. Hutton. "She
might have strolled down to the waters and
been drowned."
The banker fixed his burning eyes upon the
physician's face, and whispered :
"I said we never saw the poor child again.
I did not say we had not heard of her: She
was lost on the 9th of August, 1854. For a
year we thought her dead.. But on the anni
versary of our loss we received a written mes
sage concerning her."
A message !" cried Dr. Hutton, starting.
" A mere scrawl—a single line in a hand
evidently disguised," said the banker. "Here
It is."
Ile produced it dingy scrap of paper from
drawer in the table, and held it up to tho view
of the physician, who read as follows :
" August 8, 1855. Jessie, ha, ha ! Jensie."
Dr. Hutton looked, with a puzzled air, from
the scrap of paper, which he turned over and
over, to the countEdance of the banker.
"I can make nothing of this," he declared.
" It Is merely a date, with the name of your
lost (laughter. It tells me nothing."
" Nor did it to us, at first," said Mr. Preble.
" Then that name and that date, with the
demon laugh connecting them, set us to think
ing. A whole year we agonized over the
dreadful problem, and then we received an
other message, which you shall see."
He thrust a second slip of paper, identical in
shape and appearance with the first, before the
gaze of Dr. Hutton, who read It aloud :
"Aniajt 9. 185 a. Year Jessie still lives."
The physician started, as If electrified.
" Al) I this is something definite—something
decisive," he muttered. "It convinced you
that your (laughter was still living."
"Yes, doctor," said Mr. Prehle, "and
every anniversary of that day has brought us
some message. Tim disappearance of the
child, mysterious as It Is, does not seem to me
half so strange as that the villain who took her
away could contrive to communicate with us
every year since, and always on a particular
day—the anniversary of that on which she
was stolen—without our being able to discover
who he is. And a Mill greater wonder to me
Is what can he his motive. It seems incredi
ble. lilt was stated in a novel many people
would not believe it. But 'truth is stranger
than fiction.' "
Mrs. Preble drew from her husband's breast
pocket ills note-book opened it to the proper
page, and presented it to the physician.
Dr. Hutton adjusted his spectacles, glanced
over the page, and then slowly read the group
or entries aloud. The entry the first year is as
follows :
" August 9, 1835. Jessie, ha, ha! Jessie!"
And the next year it is—
, " Angina 9, 1856. Yotir Jessie still lives !"
And the next—
" August 9, 1857.' She Ie in good hands !"
And the next—
.s August 9, 1858. She is as well as ever !"
And the next—
" August 9, 1859. I saw her yesterday!"
And the next—
August 0, lfto. She's growing rapidly!"
And the next—
" August 9, 1861. She continues to do well!"
And the next
5. August 9, 1802. I've !Maher again!"
And the next—
.. August 9, 1863. She's becoming a woman!"
And the next—
i• August 9, 1804. Your child is thirteen I"
And the next—
...M[onel, 9,1865. She's lovelier than ever!"
And the.next—
" August 9,1866. She's really charming I"
. And last year It is
4.Augunt, 9.18137. Jfy reward is at hnrui!"
And what shall we get to•day ?
The physician looked up and fixed his
thoughtful gaze upon the bereaved husband
and wife.
"lbw did these messages conic to you r
o demanded.
"Invariably by post," replied Mr. Preble.
"Usually to the house, but sometimes •to the
(Ace l"
" And you have never seen their author I'"
" Never I"
"The last of them is dated, I see, a year
ago to-day I"
" Yes, yes,'' faltered the bunker, " mid the
time has come for another message. This is
the 9th of August, 1.808 I"
" I see," said Dr. Hutton. And this Is the
secret of your terrible excitement ! Yon are
expecting to receive to-day Runnier of theie
strange messages I"
There was a brief silence. Mrs. Preble's
hand fluttered in its task, and her face grew
very pale. The hanker breathed gaspingly.
The physician regarded them both in friendly
sympathy.
We shall hear of her again to.day," said
Mr. Preble ; "and what will the message be?"
The mother averted her face. tier brave
heart faltered as that question echoed in her
soul.
" The writer of thesti letters is unquestiona
bly the abductor ofyour child !" said Dr. Hut
ton. "Have yon my suspicion as to his Iden
tity ?''
Not the slightest," said Mr. Preble.
"We 14tve puzzled over the problem for ninny
years, but we cannot guess who he is.'
" Think," said the doctor. " Ilave you no
enemy ? Ido not mean people with whom
you arc not friendly—every stirring man has
plenty of these—but a downright enemy I Is
there no man whom you knew in the East
who bated you ? No one against whom you
were called upon to testify—no one whom you
possibly injured ?"
The banker shook his head. lie had asked
himself all these questions repeatedly.
" I have no such enemy, doctor," he an
swered with sincerity of voice and manner.
" And Mrs. Preble ?" Suggested the doctor,
turning to her. " have you no rejected suitor
who might be revengeful enough to desolate
•our home ?"
" No," said the lady. " I was married
early. Morton was my first lover :"
" This is strange—very strange r , muttered
the doctor. " You are not conscious of hav
ing an enemy in the world, nud yet;you have
an enemy—a hidden foe—a fiend in human
form—who is working out against you a fear
ful hatred I And you have not the slightest
suspicion as to whom he is?"
"Not the slightest," declared the banker.
"Not the slightest I" echoed Mrs. Preble.
"My husband had a step-brother who might
have been capable of this infamy—but he is
dead !"
" The handwriting is not familiar Y
" No. It is merely a rude scrawl, as you
see," said the banker. "It suggests nothing
—except that it is evidently disguised r'
Again there was a profound silence.
" Our child is seventeen years old now," at
length murmured Mrs. Preble, her voice trem
bling. "She is on the threshold of woman
hood. No doubt, during all these years, she
Las yearned for us, wherever she may be, as
we have yearned for her 1"
"But where is she?" asked the physician—
and now his voice was broken by his deep
sympathy with the agonized parents. "Where
can she be V
" Heaven only knows,'' answered the moth
er. " Perhaps in San Fransisco—perhaps in

turning lo look at her. I never hear a girlish
voice without listening eagerly, half fancying
that it may prove the voice of my lost Jessie l'
"Oh, pitying heaven !" sighed Dr. Hutton,
dashing a flood of tears from his eyes. "Will
this long agony never be over ?"
"We hope so, and even believe
swered Mrs. Prehle, with the firmness of an
unfaltering trust In God's mercy. " The last
message we received from our eneiny seems
to point to sonic kind of a change."
" True," assented Dr. Hutton, looking at
the message in question. "It is unlike the
others. It says that his reward is at hand.'
He means either that lie intends to marry your
daughter, or that he intends to demand money
of you for bringing her back—or both."
"We shall soon know," said Mrs. Preble,
with forced calmness. " To.day we shall have
, another message,no doubt. \\*lint will it be?"
The bankeXturned restlessly on his sofa,
and his'fare crew eV!, later.
" Whatever It is, let It come'" he murmured.
" Anything can be borne better than this ow.
ful suspense. Let it cotne !"
As if his impatient words had precipitated a
crisis, a step was heard on the Walk at this mo
ment, and a ring at the front door followed.
"Another message !” breathed the banker.
A servant soon entered. bearing a letter,
which he extended to Mr. Preble. saying :
"The bearer is in the hall."
With an eager gaze, the banker glanced at
the superscription of the missive.
It is from him !" he faltered.
Ile tore the envelope open.
It contained a slip of paper, of well-known
shape and appearance, upon which was
scrawled a single line, in an equally well
known handwriting, which the banker exhib
ited.to his wile and the physician.
• This line was as follows :
•' August 9,1508. .11 sir I ral
A shock of wonder and horror shook the
three simultaneously.
" Will call !" cried Mr. feeble, starting to
his feet, and glaring wildly around.
"Is coining here ?" cried Mrs. feeble, also
arising.
"It seems an, said Dr. Hutton. his eyes
again reverting to the message, " Ile will be
here at six o'clock,and see ! it is six already !"
Even as he spoke, the clock on the mantel
piece commenced striking the appointed hour,
and at that instant heavy footsteps resounded
In the hall, approaching the library.
" It is he!" cried the doctor, also arming.
As the last stroke of the hour resounded,
the door leading front the hall again opened.
One long and horrified glance cast the
banker and his wife in that direction. and
then site fell heavily to the floor.
Her senses had left her. The above we
publish as a specimen chapter ; lint the con
tinuation of this story will be found only in
the N. Y. Ledger. Ask for the number dated
December 4th, which can be liad at any news
office or bookstore. If you lire not within
reach of a news office, you can have the Led
ger mailed to you for one 'year by sending
three dollars to Robert Bonner, publisher, 162
William street, New York. The Ledger pays
more for original contributions than any other
periodical in the world. It will publish none
but the very, very beat. Its moral tone is the
purest, and its circulation the largest. Every
body who takes it is happier for having it.
Leon Lewis, Mrs. Harriet Lewis, Mrs. South
worth, Mr. Cobb, Professor Peck,
Mary Kyle
Dallas, Fanny Fern and Miss Iliupuy will
write only for the Ledger hereafter.
Mr. Bonner, like other leading publishers,
might issue three or live papers and magazines;
but he prefers to concentrate all his energies
Upon one, and in that way to make it the best.

Dear Sir,—You say that route of your neighbors
are Inquiring how we eau 'Maxi to sell nut our
stock at such prices as we advertise. They say,
you tell me, " Wohld it not make them bankrupt
to sell out four hundred thousaad dollars' worth
of clothing, and make no Profit on it I am glad
the people take so much interest in us and our
"Bale," and I cheerfully reply to their query. In
these times, most men consider 'that they are
"making money" If they manage to hold their
own. That is not our case, however. Even by
this Sale, not directly, but Indirectly, we expect
to make something. In the first place, our sales
thus far this season have been
. es great that though
we have undersold all our competitors, we have
made money enough to give 136 a handsome mar
gin, even though we should make nothing by the
sale, either directly or indirectly. But if we re
peat the experiment of last Winter, we will find
this Sale the means of attracting and attaching to
our house many . new customers, who forever after
give us their regular trade. There's profit . la that,
Then, again, it puts its in possession of it large
amount of ready CllOl, which' gives us infinite ad
vantages In our business, and on which we can
well afford to pay a discount rather than wait for
It to come In more slowly In the regular way.
Moreover, it gives us a good start for next season,
leaving us uninetunbered with old stork. So our
friends need not fear that we will do ourselves any
harm ; and they may be sure that we will do theta
good if they will give us a 'ehance at this present
time,
