LADY JANE FRANKLIN.
£. P#A¥CJSGQ correspondent says;' jjs- v .py the last Panama boat there arrived a lady whose life is the centre pf a .ceDtury's tragedy—-a lady whose constancy and devotion will be the jfc&eme of future homes, and far eclipse £fce fame pf fabled Penelope. A cruel fumor, started some months ago by a fiitj paper, that a waif had drifted ashore near San Diego, containing jsonie memento of the Arctic heroes, reached her at Bio Janeiro, and so she fastens to San Francisco; distance, fatigue, age, all forgotten in the wild |jope that the sea may have revealed one of its sorrowful secrets. Poor Jady, eighty years old, twenty years desolate, still clinging with a heartsick Jopging to the idea that earth or ocean Will yet tell the mysteries of the past."
