The story, us T obtain ed it from unquestionably correct sources, 18 as tollows: Giard was former devout Catholie, whose contributions to the churches at timoes were almost princely. | “He did not marry until many years of old bachelerhood had tinged his hair with gray, and but for a| strange meeting would doubtless have | remained a celibate. Beir the largest ship-owner in the world, his business led him to nearly all parts of the globe, and his name was fa miliar i every merchant pos On a | public occasion, when a large body | merchants welcomed him home after a long crmise, the festivities of the reception turned from speech-making to a grand ball, at which Girard saw and ntroduced to the daughter of a prominent gentlemen - Philadel- phia, and this ecting, which had many singular feat about it mnot nccessary to related, culminated in marriage It is said by all those with whom 1 conversed on the subject that Girard’s young wife was exquisitely beautiful and a lady of rare polish and educa tion. His treatment of her, insf of being austere, as Gath de was that of a proud lover, ever anx- ious 10 oxcite her favors by a he stownl of elegant gifts, and a con stant exhibition of loving tenderness. Ono year after his marriage, business called Girard to South Awmerica, where he remained nearly cighteen months, and upon his return he was greeted affectionately by his youny wife, but her caresses were poison to his hips, for there were unwmistakable evidences, readily apparent, that she was about to become a mother. 1 could add nothing to the fact this sud story by dwelling upon the scene that followed. Gurard’s reproach was succeeded by a frank confession from his wife, who named their favor- itk pastor as her guilty companion, I am not prepared to say of what de- nominadon Mrs. Girard was a mem- ber, but my impressior: now is that Girard had some time previously withdrawn from the Catholic church for some reason, and ‘that both he and his wife had united with some Protestant sect. “Girard could not forgive his wife, and she, being a keenly sensitive her great erime that two months aftcr the reyelation she became insane and was carried to a n house. Here she languished for nearly two yoars, when death delivered her of her mal- ady. The church of which she was a member took charge of her remeins and gave them burial in a manner commensurate with the great wealth of her husband. A bill the fu neral expenses was afterwards pre sented to Girard, but he peremptorily refused payment, and the matter was put to go into the courts. Dis covering the attitude in which such a legal contest would place him, Girard paid the bill under protest, and then, fecling as though the church had stab- bed him twice, he withdrew from ac tive life, and, realizing $18,000,000 from his’ shippiwg intercsts, he con cluded to spend #8,000,000 of that eum in founding a college, which he intended should be & perpetual re proach to all churches and the fallow ers thereof, His respect for socioty and lus relations prevented him from cxposing the secret, which crushed his life, and thus speculation has been loft to write the Lmh:ry of his domestic sorrows. In the front cen tre of the wmain building of Girard college is a large picture of the philan- thropst’s faithful housekecper, butno portraii of his wife was suléred to come inside the precincts which his will has sought to protect from minis- terial eyes, and by whioh he has secured an intellectual inheritance to many poor but deserving orphan boys.

On one ocen sion ho had the Duke of Wellington for a guest, which was worth a million dollars to George, and mado Lim as proud as a peacock for a year, Ha - ing resolved to follow in the foot steps of illugtrious men like Sam Ward and George Peobody, Captain Eads gave one of the ‘most sumptuous din ners of the season at Welcker's, a fow mghts ago. The wines were abund- ant. The guests, too, were a choieg but somewhat varied assortment. Sen ators and members of Congress were there. So were one, if not two, mem bers of the Supreme Court, and one member of the Cabinet. Sandwiched between these were three of the most notorious lobbyists known to Wash- ington stain - Eads proposes to jerk our ships up out of the Pacitic Ocean, carry them on cradles over the mountains of Tehuantepee, and, no accidents occurring on the way, drop thom safe and gound into the Atlantic. ‘‘Impracticable as we believe the scheme to be, there are a dozen or wore congressmen who have (or rather atlect to have) great faith in it. We have had cousiderable experience with ships, and do not belivve one of these could be induced to cross the mountaing of Tehuantepee i the ames Eads propos And yot Eads modestly pro poses that congress shall vote him fifty milhons of the people’s nloney just to make & beginnng.
