Nine men were also locked up as witnesses— four for the prosecution and five for the de- fense. Not one of the forty or more persons who witnessed the assassination could or would at first identify the assassins, and for several the affair remalned a mystery, although it nerully believed that the Fords were the principals in the tragedy.

Although the crime was committed ‘at mid- day in a pop i, it seemed im- possible to ze notify the murder- ers. To-day the fact became known that the state had Worked up the case secretly, and had succevded in getting all the testimony it needed. After hearing over one hundred witnesses the grand Jury found true bills for murder against the persons named.

At the inquest this afternoon a chemist testified that he had found by analysis that the stomach of the dead girl conta’ forty-six one-hundredths of a grain of st: ‘ine, which was enough to pro- duce death. The Jury proceeded to the house of Nellie Horan and took her evidence.

SCALEED WITH ACID. i readmaker, Attzcked at His Home. —Insanc Mary Magee Takes a Strange Revenge for Fancied Injuries — She Visits Her Former Employer's Hom and Throws Nitric Acid in His Face. Newark, N. J. Special to the Philadelphia Press, 14th. William H. Clark, of the Clark’s 0. N. T. Cot- ton Thread works, was ussaulted shortly after 9 o'clock last night at his home, No. 149, Mt. Pleasant avenue, by Mary Magee, an insane young woman, who threw aquantity of nitric acid in his face. The girl has been a patient in the county lunatic asylum and has achieved considerable notoriety by her insane doings. Mr. and Mrs. Clark were conversing in an up- per room last night when the door bell was rung. The call wus answered by a domestic, Who saw standing on_the stoep a well-dressed young girl, whose moWements, she noticed, were quick and determined. She asked to see Miss Agnes Clark, but was inforted that the youog lady had gone to church. She then asked to see Mrs. Clark. Mrs, Clark being somewhgt un- weil, Mr. Clark descended to the hall, and, tak- ing a hat from the hat stand as a protection from the night air, opened the door. THE LIQUID THROWN. “Are you Mr. Clark?” asked the woman. And without waiting for a reply, ghe drew her hand from under her shawl, and, with aswinging mo- tion of her arm. dashed a liquid Into Mr. Clark’s face from a vial in her band. The action was so sudden and unexpected that the gentleman had go time to shield himself or avoid the fluid, but, feeling the burning sensation on his tage and di. Vining the nature of the liquid, he drew hastily back and slammed the door. The domestic, attracted by the unusual notse, helped Mr. Clark to the library, where his head | and face were bathed in linseed oll. 4 physician Was summoned, and he found that the hat which Mr. Ciark had fortunately placed on his head had received most of the acid. The band of the hat was burned and discolored, and the skin of the neck and face was burned in Places, but the pain was soothed by the prompt appli- eation of the linseed oil, and its bad effects counteracted. Very luckily, none of the fluid entered the eyes, ana, beyond the burns meutioned, Mr. Ciark is not seriously injured. HISTORY OF THE GIRL. The girl, Mary Magee, was tound wardering | on Gouverneur street shortly after, and taken to the police station. She said to the officers that the acid was intended for Wm. Clark, the vou of her victim. Her manner was wild and incoherent. It appears the girl once worked in the Clark factory, but had been discharged. Since her mental troubles began shehad applied for reiustatement and been refused. Her rela- tives say that she bad been subject to fits of morbid insanity for a number of years; that she would appear pertectly rational for months, and then suddenly become violent and dangerous. 3ee had attempted to poison different members of her family, it was asserted, and occasions tried to commit suicide. She had been confined in the lunatic asylum several times, having only been released a week ago incarceration. see Church property is hereafter to be taxed in Washington Territory.

Mrs. Eppling said yester- day that she had not seen Sirs. Schmidt since | the meeting of brother and sister last week.

A Curious Story of Modern Life in Col- eorado, From the Denver News. | In 1882 a man named Jackson was enzaged | in freighting to the Uncompahgre aud White river agencies, hauling government freight and supplies. In his employ asauriver was mis nephew, a young man also named Jackson. One day, atter haying delivered a load of freight at the agency, on their return the Jacksons went into camp for the night, after having traveled some miles. No sooner had they stopped than | an Indian rode up and demanded supper. Young | Jackson said: “Supper is not ready; as soon as We get it you can have some.” The? Indian became very abusive, and, with some rourh epithets, said: “Me want it now.” Jackson repeated his former statement that It was not ready and he would have to wait. This Seemed to enrage the redskin, who at once pulled his gun on the young man to enforce his demands. Jackson then ran around the wagon, got his rifle and tired at. but did not hit, the In: dian. who galloped off at fall speed’ to the agency, where he reported the matter in his own way. The agent Immediately returned | | with him and a party of Indians, and demanded | from Jackson the surrender of the young man. Fearing for his safety, the old man refused at first, but the agent gave his word that he should not be injured; that he would merely be taken to the post for a hearing to satisfy the Indians. | Upon this assurance being given the young man was given up, but, notwithstanding the pledge | of the agent, they had not proceeded far on | their return to the agency when the agent yielded to the demands or the Utes and surren- dered the prisoner to them. They at once took | him to the timber, tied bim toa tree, and amid , | the most disgusting orgies tortured him to | death in a most horrible manner His uncle, | upon ascertaining his fate, made the best of his | Way back. and upon arriving at Del Norte de- tailed the particulars of the tragedy to a large and excited crowd. Among those present was a young man named Lowe, who, upon heari the story. said: The agent should be killed. “T will give you a horee and #500 if you will do it,” said Jackson. Lowe accepted the proposition, and the next day, well mounted and armed, and with a liberal advance of the sum agreed upon, started out on | his mission of blood. As the feeling of having money in his pocket was a novel one, upon ar- riving at Sazuache he proceeded to “blow him- self in,” and got gloriously drunk. Having | Spent all his money, there was nothing left tor | him but to get sober and proceed on his journey | tothe agency. Upon arriving there he was met | by the agent, who, perhaps mistrusting him, proceeded to ply him with liquor, and, while under its effects, Lowe confided to him the ob- | ject of his mission. The agent, naturally teel- | Ing that his position was critical one, and feel- | ing no compunctions for the fate of the younger | Jackson, to which he had so largel: y contributed, | then made a proposition to Lowe fully as extra- ordinary as the one made by Jackson, which was that he would pay $1,000 for the murder of the freighter. This peng @ better offer, Lowe at ouce accepted it and started on his return to carry out the terms of the contract. Arriving at Del Norte, he at once sought out Jackson, who asked if he had killed the agent. “No,” said Lowe, “I found him to bea very good sort of fellow, and, besides. he made a better offer than yours.” “What was it?” asked Jackson. “He raised you and offered me $1.000 to kill you, and I want to know what you are going to do about it.” “I don’t understand you,” said the amazed freighter. 1 mean jest what I say; he has raised you | eon sad 1 want to know if you intend to ratse im. “Why. no, of course not.” satd Jackson; “and if I don’t what do you intend to doz” “Well, I think that unless you make a better | offer I would have to accept bin” “You do, do you?” said Jackson. “Yes,” said Lowe; ‘hat else can I do?” Jackson*then walked off and lett him and got a double-barrelied shotgun from his house. He then went to Ewing’s hardware store, obtained some buckshot cartridges, with which he loaded the gun, and returned to the blackemith shop | where the conversation took place. Lowe in the meantime went off, got shaved and then got on his horse and started down the street. Winchester in hand. Jackson, who | was standing in the door of the blacksmith | shop, saw him coming, and feeling sure that Lowe would carry out his cold-blooded inten- tion, ralsed his gun as Lowe passed tim and put a heavy charge of buckshot into him, kiil- ing him instantly.

The result, however, was that he was acquitted. ————re0—___ An Estate of $3,060,000 Disposed of. REUBEN R. SPRINGER'S BEQUESTS TO RELIGIOUS AND CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS. The will of the late Reuben R. Springer was probated in Cincinnati, Monday. It is tn his own handwriting, and the will declares it is made without the advice of any human being.

RADIANT SUNLIGHT AND BRILLIANT STREET SCENES—THE DASHING MEXICAN SOLDIERT AND MEXICO'S ADMIRABLE EXHiBIT—PREPAR- ING TO ACCOMMODATE THOSSANDS OF VISIT- ‘ORS, From the N. ¥, San. New Orreans, December 10.—The World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition opens here Tuesday. It has required immense efforts to get things In order for that day, and it isto be regretted that there is not more time for preparation. There are not many things yet to be done around the grounds. If during the opening month we are favored with such weather as has lately blessed this city, the northern visitor will find the railroad pictares of “Southern scenes” representing ladiesand gentlemen walking through groves of bananas, with parasols to protect them trom the sun, scarcely exaggerated. The weather has been perfect, not a touch of chilliness, but clear, radiant, and bracing. It has brought the exposition park ont in its brightest colors. The Park, which covers nearly 300 acres of ground, is the old Foucher de Circe plantation. The old house has long since disappeared, but the ave- nues of live oaks, which led upto the colonial mansion,once one of the finest in Louisiana, still remain, many of them over a century anda balf ofaze. These forest monarets are always the most striking features of a Louisiana landscape. Of immense breadth—thirty or more feet in cir- cumference—thev are low. but with large branches, spreading an acre or more. The in- evitable Spanish moss drapes their boughs, and gives a picturesque relief to their dark green leaves. There are several hundred of these in the park in clumps and avenues, and, as they are evergreeus, they will prove an at- traction the entire winter. The gentlemen hay- ing charge ot the decorations of the grounds have wisely concluded that they ought to plant nothing but evergreens, and confine themselves mainly to tropical and semi-trepical plants. Ice is very infrequent bere in winter, and trees and plants of this kind are seldom injured. They have laid out a number of orange trees; just | now bearing their fruit, and avenues of uiag- nolia, japonica, canelia and similar winter blossoming plants. ‘he Mexican, Floridian, Californian and Central American gardens will contain the best specimens of the flora of the: There are. very handsome collec tions ot maguey. avave and cacti of every va- riety from the tintest dots to others as big as a hogshead. royal palm, and the date palms are in abund- ance, most of them bearing their half ripe fruit; and there are. besides these clusters of banana trees, giant and dwarf, fix cacti, the cochineal plant, and nearly every’ shrub grown in the tropics. The grounds, fortunately, are the most advanced portion of the work, and will be very nearly completed by opening day. The exposition presents a pleturesque attractive view trom the river. This water will be a great advantage to it in every The great question of the hour is how to trans- ) port to the park the great crowds expected to | travel there daily. There are five street lines running there.but the mule cars of New Orleans (are smail, slow. and objectionable In many wavs. The steam railroad from Canal street will not be completed until some time in Januai In the mean while there promises to be a t The only means of escape from this is the river. From Canal street, The graceful coccanut paims, the | . | tert dent Diaz of Mexico, standing above a 100-foot fountain, will be the largest electric light in the world, one of 100,000 candle power. An elec- ‘trie railway will traverse the grounds, crossing the lake, and connecting the Main and Govern- ment Buildings. In addition to these are all joo tied inventions and discoveries in elec- icity. Another special feature of the exposition Is that known as the woman's work department, at the head of which is Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. This is a pet project of the managers, and has Teeeived considerable support. Snancial and otherwise, from them. It is proposed to ex- hibit all manner of articles m: yy women, in order to show what the sex is capable of. The galleries in the main building will be assigned to these exhibits, sewing. Knitting and art work of various kinds forming the bulk of the display. This department will be very full and complete, as much so as any in the exposition, each state or section having its lady commis- sioners, while in the south there are commis- sioners for each county. The ladies of the northwest have already sent in some very large collections. Exhibits are rolling in at a rate of overa hundred car loads a day, as much as the men onthe grounds can haudle. Of the visitors nearly all of them so far have been persons con- nected one way or another with the Exposition —exhibitors, commissioners, avents, working- | men, &e. They are getting all the good places, | and securing all the rooms for rent in the cinity of the grounds. The later comers will have to be satisfied with rooms further down town; no little inconvenience, as the distance is very great, and it takes a long time to travel to the park. Whiie the hotels here are few and | cannot conveniently people, there is room for 15,000 persons in boarding houses. 25.000 more can secure rooms and board with private families. The Ex- position managers have taken this matter in hand and have created a Bureau of Accomo- dation and Information, the special duty of | which is to see after the visitors and arrange to secure them comfortabie quarters, In case | they have not secured accomodation jin ad- vaice, an application to this burean will save strangers a great deal of trouble and an- noyance. GHOSTLY LOVERS WEDDED, A Phantom Marriage Feast—Royal Spirit Present. A telegram from San Franelsco, December 18, says: Many curious cabinet tricks of spiritualists | have been exposed from time to time, but proba- | | bly the most remarkabie seance on record is that | in which @ ghostly marriage and a phantom | | wedding-feast took place under the direction of | | Elsie Reynolds.

Mrs. Sleeper took the spiritualistic Elsie to her | heart and home, and fitted up a suite of apart- | ments especially for seances and ghostly visi- | tors. Mrs. Sleeper, during these seances, used to derive great consolation in communicating with | her deceased husband and aaughter, whose spirits were summoned and occaslonally ma- lized.

A Letter of Alex. H. Stephens Bearing om the Confedetate President's Al- leged Grasping After Absolute Power. A letter written by Alex. H. Stephens to Herschel V. Johnson in 1864 has been produced to bear on the controversy between Gen. Sher- man and Jefferson Davis, growing out of the recent charge by Sherman that Davie contem- plated a military.dictatorahip. The genuineness of the letter Is attested by Gen. Sherman's en- dorsement. In the course of the communica- tion Stephens repties to the charge that he has antipathy to Davis. Referring to this imputa- tion he writes: As for Mr. Davis, I repeat again I have no feelings of antipathy, much less of hostility. What opinions you may think I entertaii ot him, as you intimated I know nothing, but 1 have no hesitancy in etating to you freely and frankly and most confidentially what my opinions of him are, ‘(hey are mach more akin to suspicion and jealousy than of animosity or hate. While I do not and never have regurded him asa great man ‘or statesman on a large scale or a man of any marked genius, yet I have regarded him as a man of ood intentions, Weak and vascillating. Timid. petulant, peevish, | obstinate, but not firm. I am now beginning to doubt his good intentions. I say doubt. for after watching him closely Iam not satistied in My Own mind, nor have I arrived at a clusion, whether some of his short comings are to be attributed to weakness or bad purposes. e myreal sentiments, and my reasons for th power he has changed many of his former states’ rights principles, as in case of conscrip- tion. His whole policy—the organizagion and | discipline of the army—is pertectly consistent | with the hypothesis that he is alming at abso- lute power. Not a word has come from him of military usurpation in the orders for martial law by Bragg and Van Dorn. On the whole tem of passports and provost marshals which is utterly wrong and without authority of law. After all that may be said or written by myselt and others ayainst these usurpations, not one word has escaped Mr. Davis showing nis disap- proval of them. QUESTION OF DICTATORSHIP. Again it is well known that the subject of a dictatorship has been mooted, talked of and | discussed in private and in the public journals, | limited nural and that the most earnest advocates of such a course, the virtual doing away with Congress and the constitution, have been editors near him—right under his nose; editors of journals recognized at the time to be the organs of the administration. Now, it seems to me stran that this should be so, and that men holdi and advocating such sentiments for months should hold such near relations to him of such sentiments were distasteful to him. Thess bad sins to me. Yet they are not conclusive ence of bad objects or intentions on tis part. They leave me in doubt, but certainly awaken niy suspicion and watchful jealousy. They teach me to be on my guard, and they should. in my opinion, put the whele country on their guard. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. But again I assure you I feel no more hostility to him than [ do to you and great numbers I meet with, who see no danger in these things, THE SEVERITY OF PITY. My hostility and wrath (and I have enough of it to burst ten thousand bottles) is not against him or any man or men, but against the thing, the center of the city, to the park is just six The wedding was held in the room of the me- |! Us to despotism. As to what you say about miles by the Mississippi. Boats will ran hourly, stopping at all the principal avenues, and as New Orleans is nearly uilriver front, nowhere body can reach the boats without difficulty. The water trip will certainly be the most pleasant and convenient mode of making this short Jour- ney. It will give one an opportunity also to ob- | tain a panoramic view of the city, especially at- tractive at night, as the front is lighted by elec- tricity throughout its entire length. From the levee in front of the park is obtained the finest view of the Mississippi in its whole course of 4,000 miles. Just opposite, at Nine Mile Point. is the old Zeringue place, the scene of Cable's picturesque story of ‘Belles Demoi- selles Plantation” Here the giant river pours down on the land with such a force and fury | that it looks as if it would sweep everything be- fore it, and you wonder why the feeble dyke on which you stand is not carried by the boiling, eddying torrent betore you. On the opposite aide are miles of cane, still green and luxuriant, the finest orange aud banana groves in the state, the sugar houses, with their tall begasse chim neys, looking like some feudal castles, especially with the little villaze ot whitewashed cabins clustered around them. In the park, just by the river bank, is the Mexican National Building. Mexico, by the by, is going to carry off all the foreign honors of the Exposition. It has gone into it with great zeal and energy. The streets of New Orleans are thronged with Mexican soldiers. There is a regiment of infantry here already, while the Mexican band discourses soft Spanish airs to the New Orleans public inthe Music Hall. But wait, say los Mericanos, until their cavalry regl- ment comes, every nan of which is mounted on ahorse ofthe purest white. Then you will see what the Mexican Army Is. The great bulk of the Mexican exhibit will be In the main building. Several dozen car loads of articles have already arrived, and are in po- sition. In addition to this, however, Mexico has constructed two additonal buildings, one for the display of its minerals, the other for specimens ot its flora and tauna and as quarters for its troops. These buildings, as far as archi- tectural, grace and elegance are concerned, far exceed anything on the grounds. The National Building is of the purest Saracenic architecture, nd Is intended to represent ona grand scale the residence of a rich Mexican gentleman. ‘There are four interior courta In terraces, and here are displayed a handsome natural-history collection of rare birds, plants and animals. The exterior of the building is floridly ornamented and colored in the richest of hues. ‘The Mexican Mineral Tower is one of the most graceful buildings ever erected. It is trans- perrale: and will be taken hence to the city of lexico for use {n the great exposition that our sister republic hopes to hold at some early day— for Mexico is determined te follow with one, which probably explains the great interest it I showing here and the handsome display it is making. The Mexican headquarters, as it is called, stands Immediately in tront of the main building. It will consist of a hall, capped by a tall octagonal tower, composed wholly of glass and iron, The ironwork Is intended to repre- sent the flora of Mexico—its vines and plants and flowers—and will be painted in brilliant greens, golds, reds and similar bright colors. The glass will be colored, giving the whole building an Oriental appearance. The other edifices cannot compare with those of Mexico in architectural beauty. The main building presents a very pretty facade; whether seen from the river or the city. It is of nearly @ quarter of a mile front—relieved from any barrenness or stiffness by tall, graceful towers, which give it some resemblance to the Louvre. The Government Building is very aimilar in its genera! appearance. The most striking teature in each ts its size. The main building claims the distinction—something in American eyes— of being the largest ever erected, covering about thirty-three acres. The whole interior js free from obstructions, except the Music Hall, in the center Long avenues stretch in every direction, and the visitor who wants to see everything within will have a promenade of over twenty miles of aisles and avenues before him. The Government Building is devoted to the United States exhibit, which ts here already; to the collective State exhibits, to those made by the railroads, and firajly to those known as the “Colored Department.” A great effort has been made to secure a handsome exhibit, that will | display the progress made by the negroes since emancipation. A handsome sum was subscribed from the exchequer of the Exposition for the purpose, and every encouragement held out. A Great deal of interest has been aroused, but, as yet, the promise is not very good. The Louisi- ana negroes will make a fine display, but from many of the States there will come little, if any, credit to the colored race, and nothing to show much progress on their part during the past two decades, The Horticultural Building, the largest con- servatory in the world, is, next to the Mexican structures, the handsomest in the Park. It is, of course, nearly all of glass, with a tall tower rising in the center to a height of over 100 feet. A large pond is situated just below this, and in its center a very handsome fountain. Like the unds, the floral and horticultural display in this building will be largely tropical, the plants being mainly those which need protection trom the weather.

From the New York Times, Sunday, Lazarus Zuntlein, a bashful young man of 25, resides at No. 88 Chrystie street. For some time Lazarus has contemplated marriage, but unfortunately he could not find a girl to suit his fancy among his circle of female friends. Hearing of a “‘shatchin” or marriage broker Zuntlein sought him out and told his story. The matrimonial broker was David C. Budold, of No. 13 Ludlow street. This gentleman carries on a flourishing business in procuring wives for young men who are overbashfal. Budold told Lazarus that he knew a woman whom he thought would suit, and displayed a list ot his female applications. After perusing @ number, Zuntlein ran across the name of Jennie Meyer, of No. 174 Ludlow street. Her height, color and carriage Budold thought would suit the fickle-minded Lazarus, but there was one thing which might prove an objection, and that was her age. She was 85—10 yearsthe senior of her prospective husband. Zuntlein thought he could stand the difference in years. So he went home and dressed in his Sunday clothes. At an appointed time on Saturday afternoon he met the matrimonial agent, and ee two sought the residence ot the fair Miss lever. he lady was found at home and introduced to Zuntlein. At first she objected to a wart which adorns Lazarus’ noge, but after some persuasion onthe part of the broker the two were left to talk the matter over. In half an | hour they agreed to be man and wife. A supper was made ready, and after the marriage cere- mony the friends of the bride and groom assem- bled to dance, drink beer, and make merry over | the event In Ludiow street society, While the | festivities were at their height a thin, small, consumptive-looking man entered. He was a rejected suitor of the fair Miss Meyer. He tried to drown his sorrows in lager beer, but instead it made him feel worse. While the bride was dancing with her busband the thin man ap- | proached them and, tapping Mrs. Zuntlein on | the onan, said: = “You have committed You have a ee mabey cea is opened the eyes of Lazarus, andhe began making inquiries as to the truthfulness of the statement, Helearned that his newly made wife. | lett Germany and a husband five years 5 | Zuntiein’s friends induced him to have her ar | Tested, and accordingly Officers Stutt and Bern- stein, of the Eldridge street police station, were called in.

Atelegram from Waterbury, Conn., Decem- ber 10th, says: A. B. Wilson, a poor mechanic, who some forty years ago invented the famous machine which now bears his name all over the world, and which is manufactured in the mam- moth establishment in Bridgeport known as the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine company, is to-day a pitiable object. His residence in this city, on West Side Hill, is a fine one, with a vast extent of land, where he has lived for sometime with his wife and daughter, women of the most estimable character, in whose name the prop- erty stands. It has been a long time since Mr. Wilson was capable of caring for his own prop- erty. Dissipation has ruined him and he has become a total wreck. Nathaniel Wheeler finally purchased thé sole right to the valuable patent, Mr. Wilson relinquishing his share in what might have made hima millionaire. For some time his shambling figure, clad in rough garments, shod with dilapidated shoes, aud crowned with a slouched hat, from under which straggled his grizzled hair, has attracted much attention onthe streets here. Gradually his condition has grown worse, until to-day his for- bearing family could put up with it no longer, and he was removed to the insane asylum in Hartford, a hopeless wfec! ——— SUSPECTED MURDER OF AN HEIREss, Dying Suddenly in the House of a Rel- ative-The Remains Disinterred, A telegram to the N. Y. Herald from Lyons’ Depot, N. ¥., Dec. 14, says: There is a good deal of excitement in this vicinity owing to ru- mors of @ probable murder recently committed in the town of Sodus, in this county. As yet the facts in the case seem to be known only to the police and detectives, who are still hard at work on it. The following particulars, how- ever, have been obtained in regard to the affair: . Miss Parmelia, Marquet, a dashing young lady and of generally good health, died very sud- denly at the home of her sister, Mrs. George Bridges, in Lyons, on the 8th of last October. At the time of her death there were slight sus- picions of foul play, but the burial of her body ‘was not interferred with. Since then, however, no clues, it Is said, have been obtained. It seems that Miss yen. was heiress to several hundred acres of valuable tarming land in this county, besides many thousand dollars. She lived for some time in her sister's family, bat owing to domestic troubles she suddenly left there and went to livein the family of Albert Thorn. Last August she, as is alleged, was pre- vailed upon to give Mrs. Thorn a deed of her farm, besides making a will in her favor. The Bridges were enraged at the news of this action, they claiming that they should have the pro perty. Miss Marquet and her sister, Mrs. Bridges, had bad nothing to do with each other for some time. On tober 8 Mra. Bridges, as alleged, suddenly sent for Miss Marquet to come to the former's bouse for a short visit. She accepted the invitation and went there immediately.

She was the | belle of every great given at White Sul. phur for two or three seasons. And she justly jearned the distinction given her. Of ail the brilliantly beautiful women of the sunny south none have been her equal. Her company was sought by every distinguished soldier and | statesman. Her presence was like a mavic | charm to every assemblage. n voice, look, gesture, movement, every- thing, she was superlatively attractive. She was the realization to every man ofall that he had ever in the wildest stretches of his imagina- | ton pictured a beautiful woman to be.

All these came to her and bowed them- selves at her feet. No woman was ever taguished alone because she was beantitul, but because of a bright Intellect as well. The dis- appointment and secret sorrow of both these famous women are never to be spoken or written, and those who knew them will bold forever a saddened but precions memory of them, The funeral of the one brought tears to the eyes of thousands when they heard the sweet strains of “Under the Daisies”—a song she used to sing—go up trom the organ In Grace church, and the grave of the other in Bellefon- taine, at St. Louis, was filled to overflowing with flowers thrown in by the young ladies of that city who bad known and loved her when it the prime and beauty of her womanbood.

Nellie Hazeltine was the daughter of a once | Well-to-do leather merchant of St. Louis, who had 4 large and handsome residence in a fash- | | jonable part of the city. His daughter was givena good education and was always re- garded as a_beautiful girl, but it was not until 1876 and 1877 that she became famous through- out the country. She. tike Mattie Ould, achieved her great triumph at White Sulphur Springs, in Virginia, but it was when that summer resort had lost something of the emphatic southern flavor that characterized it three or four years before. Northera people had begun to come, and southern people did not flock there with the same unauimity. It was while spending a summer at White Sulphur and Saratoga that the report originated that Nellie Hazeltine and Mr. Samuel J. Tilden were engaged to be married. While there never was even a thread of truth upon which to found that report, it served to make her more cele- brated than she otherwise wouid have been, It followed her to her grave and clings to her mem- ory. Nellie Hazeltine and Mattie Ould were both southern types of beauty, but were very different in appearance, manner and disposi- tion, The former was not so loveable a girl as the latter, that is, she was not so attractive to men. Mattie Ould was free, spontaneous, over- whelming. She had a flow ot spirits, of wit, of bright speech that bore down everything and captured every listener. Not that alone, but her beauty was of the voluptuous kind, not coarse in the least degree, but inginuating and ever- lasting—a beauty that “flashes out like the warm, full-faced, over-mastering sun from behind a cloud. Neliie Hazeltine hada more faultless face, judy by the classic standard. There was not ut it a hint of sensuous- ness. For an immortal type she would, of the two have been chosen by one competent to judge. Her head and face and shoulders were of perfect mould according to the rules of the Greek sculptors. There were moments when she looked ax though she had just been chiseled out of the marble by the hand of Praxiteles, putting out of mind the delicate pink of her gheeks and the wealth of brown hair that coy- ered her head. But she was a brilliant conver- sationalist. While she was more reserved in her manner and less witty than Mattie Ould, she about an hour after arriving at her sister's Miss Marquet was taken, it is said, with vomiting and died several hours later.
