From the Memphis Avalanche, June 17.]
Id the Avalanche, a few weeks since,
mention waa made of the troublea of Mr.
and MrH. Mike Garrity, of Chelaea, to
gether with the happy result of Squire
Miller’s interposition ns a mediator in
the family quarrel. Keeping a small gro
cery directly opposite the brick church,
th«*y made u good living, and, beyond
their frequent family quarrels, were good
neighbors. Since Squire Miller’s media
tion they lmve been getting along unusu
nlly well together, and it was hoped by
their neighbors that the Garrity family
had concluded to dwell together iu peace
aud unison. It wus merely the lull, how
ever, which oftentimes precedes the
storm, for Thursday evening about 8
o’clock a terrible quarrel broke out be
tween them. They were at the time in
the grocery—a small one os it has been
stated, which was lighted up with an oil
lamp suspended from the ceiling. After
quarreling for a time Mr*. Garrity be
came highly incensed at some remark
and catching up a “pop bottle” from a
box near by, drew it up—in a very vio
lent manner—over her head as if to strike
Mike. She was at the time standing di
rectly underneath the lump, and in rais
ing the bottle she struck the lump, break
ing it into fragments. It was at the time
full of oil, which igniting poured down
over her unprotected head a sheet of
flame,setting fire to her hair and clothing.
Her husband, w ith one or two bystand
ers, rush'd to her assistance, but having
no blankets or anything with which to
smother the flames at hund, could do
nothing except to tear the clothing ofl
her. When the fire was dually extin
guished, site was found to be burnt iu a
most horrible manner. The eutire cuticle
of her face aud body was burnt to a crisp,
and os she writhed ou the floor in agony,
she presented a frightful sight During
the entire time she gave heart-rending
screams, which continued until she be
came so weak that only low moans oould
be heard. A physician was at once sum
moned, and everything possible done to
alleviate the sufferings of the d>iug wo
man. Having incoherently all the while,
it was a relief to all when death came,
about two o’clock yesterday morning.—
Mrs. Garrity, who was about thirty years
of age, is said to have been quite hand
some. Two little children are left to
mourn her sad fate, which is also univer
sally deplored by the entire neighbor
hood, who, despite her many faults, held
her iu esteem.
A ConrtljrInnovation.
A single visit to Massachusetts by the
President of the United States forty-five
years ago culled down upon his head the
severest animadversion. The student ol
history is obliged to smile when he read?
what was then said upou the subject, es
pecially should ho think of the wonder
ful progress made by our present Chief
Ni'.T^n^i’u'.feCT 75, taife
day. If any President before the year
1800 had left his official duties ami goiu
off ou long pleasure excursions, he woulu
lmve raised a storm of popular indigna
tion throughout the country. He would
have been denotineed as unfaithful to the
high trust reposed in him, and even his
own party would have turned against
him. Not so with President Grant. He
goes away whenever the spirit moves
him, and nobody appeal’s to care any
thing about it. He is now comfortably
stored away at Long Branch, where he
intends to remain for months, and his
great office is left to take care of itself.—
The members of his Cabinet, too, influ
enced by his example, abandon their
posts and go wherever inclination or in
terest calls them. There was but one
Cabinet officer last summer who could be
found continuously iu the discharge of
duties, and he, not long after the re
turn of the President from his summer’s
frolic at Long Branch, got up one mura’
ing and found his oificial head cut off.—
()f course we allude to Secretary Cox. It
vas only the other day that the present
Secretary of the luterior, Mr. Delano,
vas over in Georgia looking after hisrail-
oad interest. He is now in Ohio work-
ng for the renomiuatiou of General
Grant aud for liis own elevation ton seal
a the Senate of the United States. How
mny of his colleagues in the Cabinet are
ow in Washington we are not informed,
but doubtless they will all be off iu dm*
a80U—some for pleasure, some for prof
it nnd some to keep up with the faslnoD
introduced by their chief.—Louisville

It .ppeara that a tla; or two ago a gen
tleman waa on hia waj from New York to
Savannah, having a through ticket from
the Utter to the former place. On the
train of the Charlotte, Columbia and Au
gusta Railroad the conductor cut oil the
coupon due the road, und gave the paatt-
euger a paaa ticket iu its place. At Co
lumbia the gentleman concluded to reat
awhileaud take the next train, which iie
did the day following. YVheu the con
ductor, a eon of the President of the
road, demanded hia ticket, he handed
him that which he had reoeived the day
before, and also the through ticket from
which the oonpon had been taken. He
waa told, however, that that waa not suf
ficient, and that be would have to pay
the full fare to Aoguata. Upon hia re
fusal to do thia, aa he'bad already paid
for hia pa mage once, the train was
stopped, and he was put off at the five-
mile post, ip a dense ,awamp and in the
midst of a pouring rain, through which,
after hiding his baggage in the woods,
he waa compelled to walk back to Colum
bia. We understand that he has brought
auit for $10,000 against the oompany.

A. S. Canuet, formerly soliciting agent
for the JEtna Life Insurance Company,
and more recently well known in Sent fa-
western Georgia as the traveling agent o!
the Sttvanuaii Advertiser, while it Quit-
man on last Friday night, was arrested
by an officer upon a warrant issued from
the office of Jnstioe P. M. Russell, Jr.,
on the affidavit of Mr. J. D. Vanderford,
the agent for the company in this city,
charging him with fogery. It appears
that while acting in the capacity of solic
iting agent for the JStna, in 1860, Canuet
preseiibn! to the ugent here, the receipt
of Dr. J. M. Madden, of Brunswick, for
fees, to the amount of forty dollars, which
he (Canuet) lmd paid him as examining
physician iu cases of applicants for in
surance in .aid company. It has turned
out in the course of events that no such
amount was ever paid Dr. Madden, and,
consequently, that his receipt for it was
not given by him. Suspicions having
arisen in Mr. Vanderford’s mind in re
gard to the transaction, which were
trengtheued by investigation, he tiled
an affidavit, as above stated, before Jus
tice Russell. Canuet was brought to the
city on Saturday morning. Au examina
tion wa* held before the Justice, and the
testimony elicited proved sufficiently
stroug to commit him for trial before the
next term of the Superior Court on the
charge of forgery. He gave bail in the
urn of two thousand dollars and was dis
charged from custody. Some time sine*
the same party wabiudioted by the grui.d
jury fur embezzlement, and when the
case was called his attorney read a cer
tificate from a physician iu Valdosta,
stating that Canuet was too ill to stand
his trial. We are informed that ou the

unoug the odd social phenomena of the
1 resent day the class of women who are
ir of eased despise rn of men. This set of
noderu man-haters is recruited from
three classes mainly—those who have
been cruelly treated by men, nnd whoso
faith in one-half of the human race can
not survive their owu one siul experi
ence; those restless aud ambitious per
sons who are leas than women, greedy of
notoriety, iudiffereut to home life, and
holding home duties in disdain, with
strong passions rather than warm affec
tions, with nerverted instincts in one di
rection, and none worthy the name in
another; and those who are the born ves
tals of uatnre, whose morale falls below
the sweeter sympathies of womanhood,
and who are uusexed by the atrophy of
their inspects, ns the other classes are by
the perversion and coarsening of theirs.
By all these men are held to be the
enemies aud oppressors; and even love
18 ranked as a mere matter of the
senses.
It may not l>e denied that women have
just causes for the^complaint against men.
They have many, aud so loug as human
nature is what it is, strength will at times
be brutal, rather than protective, aud
weakness will avenge i;s -If with more
ciaft than patience. But that is a very
1 ifferent thing from the sexual eumity
the modern man-lmters assert, and the
revolt with which they make it their re
ligion to prench. If women will but be
lieve that, on the w hole, men wish t > be
their friends, nnd to treat them with fuir-
ness and generosity, they will find the
work of salf-protection much easier, and
the reconcilement of opposing interests
greatly simplified.

It is curious to compare retail pri^ r.
hundred years ago wilii t-hose which rulc-
now. We hsvr seen an » i.l daybook in
which .* country mcrchui.t in tlie village
of Plu.ik irniu, Now Jersey, charged the
customers, among whom was the cclebra
tod Lord Stirling, who practiced with
honor in our revolutionary struggle
against tho Cr« wn, with the ordmar,
family supplies. Iu 1778, we find ohtfgeu
flour ‘21s. per barrel; corn, 4s.; mm. 4s.
fid. per gallon. Riee was 8.1.; sugar 1 Id.;
tea, Os. fid. per pound. Calicout Is 4d.
per yard; caudles Is. 6d. per pouud.
Black strap,” the favorite amelioration
to the colonists in those days of tho bur-
lens of the flesh, is plainly enougn hint
ed ou every page of the old daybook by
the associated “rum aud molasses,” ot
which it was composed. The most inter
esting reflection touching such a record
is the proof it further affords of the great
mprovement of the laboring classes with
in the century passed. A chance entry
credits a customer with twelve days’ la
bor, 2s. fid. per day, which would indi
cate about 58 cents as the value of a day’s
labor. The same fact appears from other
oources, the soldiers’ wages—88 per
month—having been fixed, with rations
and clothe* iu addition, by the Conti
nental Congress, as an enhancement ovei
tiie wagt s of common labor. On the
other hand, these items of acoouut tend
to t>now in how moderate a degree the
workiug classes could iudulge in what
every laborer uow deems strict neoes-u
l ies of life.

It continued in the crime state during the
procession, aud, after thirteen minuteso.
prayers, the sign of the mirucle was giv
en, the portion which hr»d remained hard
being perceptibly still more dissolved, so
to show that the mirable hail taken
place. Gradually, duriug the kissiug of
the reliquary by the congregation at St.
Clara, it became entirely dissolved. On
its return to the Cathedral, contrary to
what has taken place during the last few
ears, it was touud to be completely har-
Icued. When cart u d into the Chapel of
tho Treasury it dissolved a* ew, and now
eutirely, yet remaining thick uud glutiu-

yond tho usual staple subjects. They
have been deeply absorbed iu marvel
lous stories which have been circulated
iu regard to a mysterious court martial
investigation. The Sun correiq ion dent
has fathomed the mystery. It Is noth iug
less -than an attempt to discover the per
petrators of the outrage which w.-ut com
mitted here last winter, in which Cadets
iiflird and Fleckinger were ignominious-
ly ex|>elle<l the Academy at night time by
«iertoiu unknown .u«-inbcrH of the present
graduating class, whone b. lmvior resem
bled that of the Ku-Klux Klau.
Geneual Belknap, the .Secretary of
War, and the Presi.l *nt, have watched
the investigation with lively interest, and
have directed it, to some extent. It is
hinted as one of the reasons for the h. -
cresy of this court martial that it is to
screen the Presidnit’s sou, young Fred
Graut, in case tht- evidence should show
him to have been connected with the out
rage.
The investigate*u is progn suing in the
Superintend.mt’s flic* in the Library
building, and as an evidence of the pains
which have been * do n to ke.-p the pro
dding* from leaking out, it may be
mentioned that the st< raplitr, who
was brought from N-w Yurk. was sworn
to secresy. When the investigation was
begun much ahum was created by the
dir30very of the fact that the steno
grapher who was originally engaged was
incompetent. After frightening him
with a threat of putting him into tho
guardhouse to t uke him keep quiet
about'the investigation, they finally dis
charged him, and ordered him away
from the Academy limits.
I am positively insured that one of tho
results of the investigation will be tho
restoration of Cadets Baird and Flecki 11-
ger to their class on the 1st of July.
Whether any thing will be done with the
Renders who were guilty of the outrage
ms not been ascertained. The investi
gation will probably terminate to-mor-
but whether the Secretary of War
and the President will see fit to give the
mass of testimony which has been taken
to the public is not known.
A Costly Letter.
Washington’s letters are becoming very
scarce. The one of greatest value to
New Yorkers has recently been recovered
by the city authorities. Sometime ago,
the communication sent by Washington
to the Common Council of New York
City at thecloseof the revolutionary war,
was offered at auction and brought
$2,000. The letter was stolen from the
archives of the corporation library—but
the thief has not been discovered. A

finally surrendered to the Clerk of the
Common Council —the litigation costing
the city over $2U,(KH). The letter was
written in 1782, nnd was read before the
City Fathers of that year. The endorse
ment mode by tho City Clerk faintly up-
pears on the back, the officer who stole
the letter having partially erased it—to
prevent identification. A lithographed
foe-simile of the letter is to appear iu the
Corporation Manuel, which will be ready
in July.
Monday afternoon a young girl, Mag
gie Gregory, daughter of Mr. Walter
Gregory, of Long Island City, was drown
ed iu Dutch Kills creek, under peculiar
circumstances. Maggie was a good swim
mer, and, together with a young girl who
could not swim, was bathing in the creek.
The younger girl, iu watching Maggio
swim, ventured Iroyond her depth, and
becoming frightened, calk’d for help.—
Iu trying to help her companion Maggie
became exhausted. A younger brother,
hearing the cries of the girls, hurried to
a boat and managed to reseda tho young-
<*r girl with tho aid of his sister; hut that
aid seemed to tal:'* her remaining strength,
for she sank to rise no more alive. Her
father was soon at the scene; but when
the body was recovered life was extinct.
Coroner Tewsbnry held au iuquofit and
rendered a verdict iu accordance with tho
facts.
