IN GOTHAM.
Arriving in New York City friendless and alone, the adventurous girl applied to the Castle Garden for aid. Her mod est deportment and ladylike bearing attracted the attention of the employment agents, ami soon the Irish lass was comfortably located as a domestic in a Fifth Avenue family. Again the restless spirit possessed her, and, like tho typical servant girl, as soon as she became useful, packed up her little bundle ami silently stole away to another domicile. At Mr. Travers’ house Josephine served several terms in various positions. She is now somewhat broken of her fickle disposition, and is considered as one of the fam-
ily.
THE FORTUNE. Some days ago a mysterious package with a foreign postmark ami addressed in a strange hand to Josephine Lynch arrived at the Travers residence. On breaking the seal the girl discovered that tiie envelope co itained both sad and joyous news. In a few lines was contained tho death of her father and the fact that she was an heiress to tho amouut of i!50,OJO. The letter also referred to the girl Mary, and Josephine, who had lost trace of her step-sister for the past eight years, immediately had recourse to the newspapers. THE MISSlNu HEIRESS. Eight years ago Mary came to this country where she met Josephine: together they went to Cincinnati. Mary, who was very delicate, was taken sick, and became au occupant of the City Hospital. Josephine returned to New York City, and seemingly forgot the invalid. Since tho discovery of her sudden wealth shehas telegraphed to the Cincinnati Hospital, »but has received no answer. OTHERS INTERESTED. Josephine has always corresponded with her brother George, who has used every effort to clear the title to the property, in which he has been assisted by her with all the money her industrious toil and economy could afford. The paoperty now belongs jointly to her brother and herself. And there is also a sum of money in a Liverpool bank which they cannot obtain without sharing with their half-sister, Mary, or producing proof of her death, in which event they will ho the heirs to her portion. Miss Lynch after her search for lier sister is concluded, intends to return to Ireland for her share of the property’ which she has helped to clear of its incumbrance.

Forever.
[Gold Hill tNov.)New*.1
There are no braver men in the world than can be found among the mines of the Comstock. Accustomed to face dangers every day of their lives they never shrink from the call of duty. An instance of pergonal bravery occurred recently at tho Ha4e and Norcross, which is worthy of record as showing whai iucr will do and dare. When the pump column in the mine burst, the flow of water is usually pumped at the Hale and Nor cross, a large portion of which comes from the well-knawn north drift, on the 2,200 level ofthe “Savage,” and is very hot, was sent thorugh 'connection pipes to the C. S. N. shaft to be raised to the Sutro tunnel level. One day this flow of water was uuusuaily strong. The pumps labored assiduously to keep it down but labored in vain. Railing tanks were added, but the accumulation could not bo kept down. When tho 2,403 station at the shaft was some three feat under the water, information was sent to Hale and Norcross ofthe fact and a desire was expressed to know the cause ol the increased flow. Tho necessity of an investigation thus became impetative. Superintendent Deidcsheimer, not knowing what might have happened in that confined locality to threaten the safety of the mine on the lower levels, and not wishing to send men where he was unwilling to go himsolf, sent for foreman Kellogg, who was working, on the broken pump column, informed him of tho situation of affairs, and asked him to go with himself and see what was wrong. Mr. Kellogg would not allow Mr. Deidesheimer to incur the risks of the exploration, and set about preparing to go alone. He saturated a woollen shirt with ice water, and hound it on and over his head, leaving hut a single eye exposed. He then muffled both hands, and, thus prepared, entered the drift, leaving with the superintendent a request that, if be did uot return in fifteen minutes, tho drift should he closed, to be opened no more. This could well be done, as the Savage hail bulkheaded that love', the air had been shut out and the works there had been practically abandoned. After enduring that tonible heat for 12 minutes, Mr. Kellogg came’back and reported nothing amiss. Tho extra flow was hut an unusually large intermittent flow from the old north drift in Savage. When stripped of his mufllings, Mr. Kellogg found that in some way one of his hands bad become hared while he was in the mine and the back of it had been burned to a blister by the dry, hot air, to which he had been exposed. Water boils on the Comstock at 198 degrees, and he had sustained for twelve minutes a temperature only forty degrees below that of boiling water and sufficient to have roasted him in a very short time.

A remarkable surgical operation, ami one very rarely performed, was successfully tried in this city laat| week. The subject, Mrs. I’uiuoroy Uigley, ol Granby, had been suffering acutely from a cancer on the tongue, which all reme dies had failed to reach.

sAvaiil <i»rl 9lc-| Uisk>y brougl,this wif “ to lhi8 ci ‘y f ‘ ,r Fort him’ treatment by some loading authority.
She was taken to one of our |l>'■st surgeons, who, aftei making a careful examination, decided to remove the tongue it self; but a fuller examination satisfied him that this dread measure was unnecessary, and tiiat half of that important I member could be left for use. The patient was placed under the influence of ether, and all the cancerous parts of tho diseased organ, including the border on one side and half ofthe tongue length on that side, was all cut out. This leaves Mrs. II. w ith enough of her tongue for very important use in eating, and she can already articlato words plain enough to bo understood. Nature will doubtless do much by use ami practice to enable her to speak much belter by and by; at all events she is greatly rejoiced that the operation has been performed. The operation is spoken of jis a very skillful
one.

Tho following advertisement appeared
in a morning paper, and was investigated by a Truth reporter, developing some
strange phases ir. an humble life; Information wanted of Miss Mary
Lynch (last heard of in Coni innati) by her sister, JOSEPHINE LYNCH, 417 Ninth ave., as money has been left her.
Mr. L. Tarvers, in whoso family Miss
Josephine Lynch has been employed as a domestic at different periods since her arrival in America, related the following particulars of her history, which he
had gathered from her own lips,
THE girl’s history:
She was born in Gountyr Down .Ireland, in 1853. Her father, according to her account, had inheritted a considerable landed estate, which furnished houses for over two hundred tenants. There was some dispute about the title, which involved a long course of litigation, and at the time of his death, a few yeais since, it was still undecided, the costs having nearly kept pace with his income
from tho estate.
The old gentleman left at his death a family of three children, one son named George, his daughter Josephine and a daughter by his first wife named Mary. Josephine wr« a child of singular dispo-
A woman was murderously assailed in Clinton County, Kansas, and a lynching party was soon formed to hunt the villain. Henry Bird joined the mob and was foremost in the search. At length a scratch on his neck drew attention, and other evidence convinced his companions that he was the man whom they hunted. They hanged him promptly.
