A Real Romance of Lore.
It is a pretty romance, that of the wooing
of Prof. Bell of telephone fame. His wife is
the daughter of Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard,
whose skill as a patent lawyer has served
Prof. Bell in good stead. At a very tender
age Mrs. Bell lost her hearing after an attack
of scarlet fever, and became in consequence
a deaf mute. Her parents, hearing of the
success in Germany in teaching deaf mutes
to speak, took their daughter abroad, where
she leared to speak both in French and Ger
man. On their return to this country Prof.
Bell, then a teacher in a deaf mute institu
tion, was engaged to give private lessons to
Miss Hubbard. In time, finding himself be
coming too much attached to his pupil, like
an honorable.man be went to Mr. Hubbard
and resigned his position, giving his reasons.
Miss Hubbard was-then too young to have
her mind disturbed by such matters so her
father and lover thought. Men, however, do
not always understand the early growth of a
young girl's mind and heart. Prof. Bell's
pupil drooped, and in time her parents dis
covered the cause of her melancholy. The
young man was recalled and the wedding
was celebrated. Their beautiful home in
Washington is now one of the centres of hos
pitality, and Mrs. Bell among the most agree
able women in Washington society.
John Brottm's Scaffold.
[Wheeling (W. Va.) Special]
Last Tuesday quite a sensation was created
in Charleston, Jefferson County, this State,
by the passage through the streets of the
lumber that composed t • sciffold upon which
John Brown was execute 1 en December 16,
1859. Shortly after hii execution the Beaf»
fold was taken down and the lumber used in
erecting a porch to a brick dwelling, situated
at the corner of Lawrence and Liberty
streets, in Charleston. After the owner's
death, which occurred several months ago,
Col. John If. Coyle purchased the property,
and, wishing to preserve the lumber, had it
carefully removed and placed under lock
and key. By a singular coincidence the car
penters who erected and tore down the scaf
fold and used the lumber in erecting the
porch twenty years ago, were hired to remove
it on Tuesday last. Each piece of lumber
had been carefully numbered by them, so
that there can be no possible question as to
its identity.
Admiral Hewitt and Gen. Graham have
warned the sheikhs that if they come in and
surrender they will be protected, otherwise
they must remember Teb.
