A ABBUCTEH TEXAJf IKL. Tbentrntwe (story of Annie dneksAH. On the immig train on the Ckkwfo, BurKnf Um Jk Quitter Railroad, lut uif ht, wnu a young lady Hiasungur who bun had a remarkabki e.xieriutK. Her enroar during tb last three years ha been one of romantic adventure and narrow eucupeti from tragic death. She U bow on her waj home after jmtrnetod abtfcntv, which hail led hr friends to upi)oe she wm dead, as she has been unable to communicate with them since leaving Iwnie nntil very recently. In relating her story she said her name was Annie Jackson ; that her father and mother live on a ranch near the village of Iberia, Wavcric CMinty, Tex., which kt loctated in the southwestern corner of the Stale, and on the Mexican border. Mr. ami Mrs. Jackson removed from Philadelphia to Texas in IB99, at which time there wa coitsMlerable erairraUon to that State, and they prospereu well under the influence of an active demand for cattle, large herds of which Mr. Jackion accumulated. Annie wa then about nine years of age. The family, embracing, Iteeidcs those mentioned, two ?)ns almo' Town, occupied & ieant home, nnu iKuiieaifelt until the Mexicans lagan to make raids in the neighborliood and drive off sdock. Then Mr. .Fackson manifested a good deal of solicitude for the welfare of his wife ami children. But he dnl not deeert the place which gradually lecame nw and more dangerous in consequence of tlicso forays by Mexicans and the disturlring elements that were introduce among the Indians. The father and sons prejmred to defend their place by strengthening tlieir resuleace and providing better arms for ue when occasion required. The Jackson ranch was in tlie immediate vicinity where several raids over tlie border were made by -Mexicans, ami it became the reMing-phtce of the gallant Major McKcnzie's command when he made his first chae of tlie greasers into Mexico in 1S72. This military command was joined by both of Annie's brothers, who acted as guides and did efficient service on the campaign, they becoming conspicuous figures of tlie party as they galloped along at the head of the column, with their rilles on their shoulders, pistols ami knives in their lelts, ami dressed in the fantastic costume of their calling buckskin trousers, sustained bv a red sash ami tassels, colored shirts and cut-away jackets, and wide white sombreros, which shaded sunburned faces. Already Annie Jackson was almost a woman. She was tall for her age, ami muscular from the necessities of the locality and tlie incidents of her life. There was from this time a constant commotion on the krder, which threatened danger daily. Gradually she became familiar with things w'hich drove away all fear, and prompted ber to enter into rather than avoid the intrepid experiences which her father and brothers often endured. She tells, in her narrative, of exploits on the plains which would call forth the admiration of tbe most successful hunter, and of standing guard ou various occasions when there were prospects of visits from the Mexicans of a hostile char

acter. She encountered no actual harm, however, until she was sixteen years of age, ami then liegan the trials and ttoubles which followed one another in too rapid succession to recount all in detail, but which, combined, form one of the strangest histories ever written. On the 2d of May, 177, which was Wednesday, while sitting in a vinecovered porch of her home, she was accosted by two genteel-looking Americans, who 'immediately bound her, hand ami foot, and conveyed her, despite screams and resistance, to a place where three horses were secured, and she was compelled to mount one of the steeds ami rhle between the two men all of the afternoon. She knew that they were going in a southeasterly direction, but that was all ; ami when they halted at a small adobe cabin for sapper, she knew that she was on Mexican soil ami mtlee away from hor.g. She was not Krmitted to remain out of the sight of r captors a moment, although they offered her no indignity, ami refused to answer any question as to what they intended to do with her. The march was resumed after the necessary rest, and the lady waa conveyed a long distance to a hacienda, where she was afforded comfortable quarters, but was retained a prisoner. This treatment was repeated for four days ami nights in succession, her captors evidently knowing what points to make in order to procure fretih horses for the succeeding Itours of travel. On the Sunday morning following her abduction they arrived at a large town, tlie name of which Miss Jackson did not know, and liere she was committed to the county jail and held a clos prisoner for a week. In the meantime she was provided with clothing, ami every attention was pakl to her, but her freedom was denied. She liecame convinced that some great mystery surrounded the movement of her captors, fur they were evidently men of high authority and apparently meant her no bodily harm, but their purpose in spiriting her away from home she could not divine. The horseback Journey continued from day to day, until they finally reached a mountainous district, and then for the first time Miss Jackson noticed that the men escorting her were becoming nervous about something, holding whispered conversations, stopping to closely inspect the roads ami the country, and by their manner giving token of grave concern. She concluded, night drew on some two wanks after she was taken from her borne, that they were lost; but she had hardly framed the thought before up rode a body ot Mexiean soldiers

with a general o.Hearor Colonel at their hend, ami by thus she waa taken in charge and conveyed toward the coast, whim her kidnapers rodu off in an opposite direction. Xot.a word was said to give her any information aa to what was to follow, The chief ortieer proved to be Colonel Jean UsptiateSan Miguel, Military Commander in (he Eastern Dhdrictof Chihuahua, Unengaged in conversation with the young girl, and pakl desperate court on tho .jot, announcing to her in conclusion, that he was determined to make her Ids wife She, of course, declined the honor, and with spirit demanded to lie released from captivity and returned to her tame. The Colonel smiled as he remarked that she was over four hundred miles from her residence, and then Miss Jackson realized that she was in the power of men of whose character and intentions she knew nothing. Shu thereupon determined never to consent to this objectionable union, and to take the first opportunity of escaping. The close scrutiny to which slw had been subjected was somewhat slackened, and one dark night, finding the espionage not so close as usual, mho managed to evade tho guard at the camp, and made her way to tho squalid lint of Indians, whose language she could talk, ami who consented to befriend her. She learned from them that she was then within a inuidrtd miles of the Gulf of Mexico, and tho Indians look her to the shore in secrecy, and there she found protection for several weeks. In the meantime the fi-h-ermen from the locality came in with boats, and in one of these she set out to sea to intercept a steamer on tlie way to ew Orleans or Galveston, but to no purpose. After more than a month of suffering ami torture on oms of thre trips out in the frail craft on the gulf, a saitahip was signaled, and Miss Jnck.on was kindlv taken aboard and cared for. It proved" to lie tlie brig Lydis, from Iloston, then bound for Havana, Storm,arose, the ship was damaged and delayed, and had to run into a small port to make repairs, eventually reaching Havana on the 2:Jd of Aujiust. Miss Jackson applied to the American Consul for assistance, and he insisted upon her making the Consulate her home until he could provide means for her return to the I'nited States. He laid tlie facts as related to him before tho State Department, but nothing concerning Mis Jackson had been presented to the attention of tho authorities. While preparing to go alKmnl the next steamer for Xew York, tho heroine of this story was taken down with yellow fever, ami remained for a long tune seriously ill ami convalescent. Tho Consul " afterward furnished her with money and passage on the mail steamer, ami on the ISth of December sho started for Xew York. The steamer put into Charleston Harbor for coal, and, in anticipation of its remaining some time, Miw? Jackson went up into the city. Unfortunately, she got left, and had to seek assistance among entire strangers. Kealizing her1 deplorable situation, she hired out as a servant in a family, remaining for about eight months on a salary which was barely suflicient to clothe her. She gradually made her way from one city to another, consuming a year from the'time she left Charleston before she arrived in Hich-

mond, Va. She did not know the way home, ami all to whom she told her story laughed at the recital, lint she was persevering and saving all of tho time, and never allowed herself to 1k?como downcast. At Itichmond she worked for . a Mr. Ivcrson, a wealthy tobacconist, who became interested in her story last fall, ami jiersonally set about ascertaining the truth of it. He visited Washington and learned what had been forwarded from the Consul at Havana, and then put himself in correspondence with Mr. Jackson, Annie's father, in Texas, liecoming satisfied that ill was right, he assisted her to proceed home, and a happier woman was never known than she as she went through Quincy, and drew nearer her destination. She will lie met by one of her brothers at some point on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Kailroad, he having been notified that she is en route home. Her otkwr brother and her mother arc now dead.
