Chanler was educated and refined and successful in busi- ness, The two young people were mutually taken with one another, and he followed her to her home in New York city, where they were married. Returning to Mabile they lived in ood style, and Mrs, Chanler increased her in- frence in society. She was as much a belle as before marriage, and her society was especially sought by young men. Tt was at the Loginning of the war that Mrs. Chanler’s oy was crossed by Frank Dubassy, who is said to have been a French vicomte, an who at that time was a captain of ordnance in the confederate army. He was a remarkabl handsome man and a dashing officer. He feil in with the Chanlers, and soon there was some talk of his attention to thelady, Suddenly Mr. Chaunler fell ill. He grew rapidly worse and his relatives went to offer their assistance, but were refused admittance to the house. Chanler died, attended by no one but the young fe, and the report arose that he had been killed by her. There was no official investigation of the charge, but it affected her position, which became unpleasant, that she took her two children and moved to Macon, Ga. In leas than a year she married Dubassy there. Shortly afterward Dubassy was ordered to go to Europe as a representative of the confederate gover: ment. He and his family took passage ona blockade runner out of Charleston or Savannah, it is not known which, and had proceeded but acouple of days when Dubassy, who had been complaining, suddenly died. The captain of the steamer proposed to return to port in order that the officer might be interred, but the widow strenuously insisted that the vessel should con- tinue. She said that she did not like the risk of turning the vessel back, and demanded that the body be cast overboard. This was done, and the vessel reached Europe in due time. Ina year or two Mrs. Dubassy drifted back to New York, where she was involved in ascan- dal with some actor, which was B opm in the papers at the time, and created a great sen- sation, After this she went again to Europe, and met a married Baron von Roqne. There was shortly a scandal with him also, as it said he was not faithful to her, and at one time he ve her a beating, so she left him. It seems t they led an adventurous life together.

The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph gives the following interesting history of the celebrated case: Although there has been a difference of opin- fon in England as to the resalt of the trial of Mrs. Maybrick for the poisoning of her hus- band, the general belief has been that she would be acquitted, and her conviction and Sentence to death has created much surprise. The trial, which began on the Ist instant, has attracted widespread attention. imilar case, it is said, has been on trial in many years. The last affair of the the trial, thirty years ago, of Madeline Smith for poisoning her lover. Miss Smith, like Mrs. Maybrick, was a young lady of some social con- Sequence, and resided at Glasgow. While still & mere girl her affections were won by a mere- tricious fellow, who proved unworthy. Her perception of this and his personal treatment of her caused a revulsion of feeling. The alle- gation made against her was that she bad in- veigled him to her house and had poisoned im. The evidence against her, although, cir- cumstantial, was very compromising. Owin; to the brilliant defense made by her counse she was acquitted, and is now happily married and living m London. On the 18th of last May Mrs. Florence Eliza- beth Maybrick, the wife of Jas, Maybrick, a rich cotton merchant of Liverpool. was placed under arrest, charged with poisoning her hus- band. The arrest was brought about in a re- markable way. Mrs, Maybrick’s little girl had dropped a letter in the mudgy street; the nurso- maid in charge of the child picked it up and opened the soiled envelope, intendi as she declared, to place the inclosed letter fresh euvelope. She took the trouble, however, to _— it, and found its contents to run as fol- whom he was engaged, from which crime he realized $20,000, He then elo) with a va- riety actress.

The Young Emperor Inflicts a Pointed Snub on Herbert Bismarck. From s Berlin Letter. Notwithstanding the great intimacy which exists between Kaiser Wilhelm and Count Herbert Bismarck—they were boon compan- ions in many a gay frolic prior to the former's accession to the throne—his majesty is exceedingly careful never to permit the count to take the slightest advantage of the friendly r@ations which subsist between them. Only on one occasion did the young secre- tary of state presume thereon, and the lesson which he then received was of such a nature as to render any repetition of the offense extremely improbable, e incident in ques- tion occurred shortly after the imperial visit to Italy, during the course of whi Count Her- bert had been treated with the most marked ntly en- favor by his sovereign. Young Bismarck had been eee treated to use his influence with the em- peror to secure the readmission into the regiment of Gardes du Corps of un ex-officer, Baron von R—,, who had retired from the army on receiving an appointment in the household of the late Emperor Frederick, After the death of the latter the baron had found himself without any employment and had accordingly besought his friend, Count Herbert Bismarck, to intercede with the young kaiser in his behalf, with a view to his restora- tion to his former rank in the regi- ment. Count Herbert was exceedingly re- luctant to mention the matter to his majesty, but finally, moved by his friend’s entreaties, undertook to do so, Accordingly, one morning at Potsdam, the count, after reading to the em- | oes his daily report on the current affairs of the state department, gave utterance to the wishes and desires of Baron von R—. ‘The kaiser listened quietly until young Bis- marck had finished what he had to say on the subject and then coldly inquired: “ that form part of your report for the day?” Count Herbert for once lost countenance, and, bowing low to conceal his embarassment, muttered some unintelligible reply. That ended the matter, which was never referred to again. Paes Your letter under cover to G. came to hand ¢ I gave them for you on Monday.

James Leonard, president of the New Or- leans typographical union, is a typo in the Times-Democrat office. On Friday, July 5, Mr. Leonard began his week's work. He was of- fered no special opportunities to make a great record (or in typographical parlance, a “big string”) by setting up easy matter (“fat takes,” as the printer puts it), but worked on the reg- ular “file,” which contains the general run of matter that appears in the Times-Democral's columns. The type used in the office is bre- vier, agate and nonpareil, the latter largely predominating. The agate measures 30 ems to a line, the nonpareil 25. Mr. Leonard worked seven and @ half hours a day for seven consec- utive days, and on Thursday night last, when he cast up his ‘‘string,” it was disclosed that he while his widow was ill in bed, profess- ing to be prostrated by her husband's deat! the police made her a prisoner and remov: turned over to Mr. Blaisdell.

He is a dissipated-looking man of about twenty-eight years, with reddish hair and whiskers, an irs. Maybrick’s wanton affection for him is one of the strangest features of this strange story in real life. ————_ eee INGRATITUDE TO THE QUEEN. Alexander of Battenberg’s Imperti- nence to the Patron of His Family, From 8 London Letter. Prince Alexander of Battenberg appears to be burning with animosity against the royal family of England.

Philadelphia Press’ Long Branch Letter. In former seasons robberies of bath houses have been numerous, This year a sagacious belle, with a pint of jewels, evolved the idea that her gems would be safer on her person than if left in the bath room, or even if given into the custody of the bath house keeper. She might have left them in the safe in the hotel ofice, to be sure, but in charity it may be assumed that thi simple idea never entered her head. In any event, the spectacle that she ——_ on the sands, with the limitations of er red-barred bathing dress, eked out, in splendor at least, with diamonds and sapphires, struck the rest of femininity as so attractive that in just about two days had a score of companions.
