NEW YORK LETTER.
By Our Regular Correspondent.
New Yoke, Aug. 23 , lS 82 .
Let me first refer you to the intro¬
ductory remarks contained in my
preceding letter, concerning the “Dark
side of Theatrical Life, before I be¬
gin the truthful story of
A BROKEN-HEARTED WOMAN.
This is taken from no book, from
no work of fiction, but from life, from
the sad and constant reality of life.
She was an only daughter, and her
father having large means, she was
thoroughly educated and especial at¬
tention was given to the cultivation
of superior natural musical taste
and abilities. Exceedingly attractive
and highly cultivated, she was a so¬
cial favorite as a child and a young
lady. The father died, and she was
left to the care of brothers who, it is
alleged, defrauded her of her share
of her fathers estate. Ill feeling and
estrangements were engendered, and,
to escape unplesant domestic rela¬
tions, she married, when little more
than a child, a man much older than
herself, who had been attracted by
her face and accomplishments. He
proved to be a brute, who drank to
excess and abused her shamefully,
although he supplied her liberally
with money and lived handsomely.
Her prid • prevented her from appeal¬
ing to her friends or disclosing her
situation. Finally he died in a drun
ken spree, and left her with nothing
save her wardrobe and jewels, with
which to support herself and two
chiltjren. She had never been taught
to work and did not know how to do
anything but sing. She took a house
and kept boarders and did it wel',
with the tastes and refinements of
a lady, but was unsuccesful, simply
because she had never been taught
house-keeping or economy, She
tried to turn her musical education
to account by sing in conserts. Tins
was precarious and uncertain, She
had an offer to go to New Orleans
upon what seemed a desirable en¬
gagement. She went, to find that
the contracting party had gone, no
one knew wither. Worst of all, her
bagage was stolen, with all her and
ner children’s clothing, excep: what
they had on their backs. One of the
children was taken ill and died among
strangers, and to get money for the
burial, she pawned a part of hei jew
elry. She came back to New York,
and took cold, on the way, for want
of sufficient clothing, she was obliged
to go to the hospital where she lay
for six weeks, her child being cared
for by a charitable lady who had
known the mother in her prosperous
days and learned by accident of her
position. She came out of hospital,
alone in the world and with a child
to support as well as herself, She
got a temjiorary engagement to sing
at a theatre. For two months she
earned enough barely to pay living
expenses, Then the engagement
closed and no other opened.
It was about this time that the
“man about town,” was introduced
by a theatrical acquaintence. He
was accustomed to find complaisant
ladies behind the drop curtain. Her
beauty and accomplishments attract¬
ed him, and he offered to “befriend’
her g he decline d the offer. She
was suffering for actual food, but she
tai pride and modesty and self re
spect, and would starve rather tfian
a*
nity to join a company which was to
bring out a new piece in three weeks
and daily during the three weeks she
went to rehersals, in the hope of the
pittance that was offered for the time
| Ihe the pi« .*h« b. played. anything Ins for no, the
custom to pay
pvktd of rehersals, except to artists
Q f established renown. Lack of food
I coupled aid exposure with standing to all kind for of four weather, and
:
five hoars a day, brought her again
to a sick bed. She ran in debt to
; her landlady and . . both , herself , , c and .
i her ch jj d were without food. But
for the child she would have commit

letting her know the source from
whence help came, the “man about
town” sent her a physician and mon¬
ey to buy food and medicines. She
used it because her love for her child
would not let her die.
When she got better, he, still un¬
known to her, got her a chance to
join the ballet in the Opera, the
manager sending for her and offering
her the place. It was almost worse
than death to accept it and to display
herself in such fashion on the boards.
But that gave food for her little g rl,
and what will not a mother do for
her child? Her illness had weaken¬
ed her voice so she could not sing,
and sh.e could find nothing else to
do. So she, a woman of immeasm
able pride, became a ballet dancer
and did it with a loathing and horror
beyond words. It was then that I
had seen her at the Academy.
Since then the operatic season had
closed and with it the $10 a week
stopped. She had attracted atten¬
tion and men sought her With offers
of comfort and ‘pleasure’ if she would
dispense with her reputation.
There was but one answer to all
such propositions. She would die if
she must, but if so, she would die an
honest woman; worthy of the respect
of the child for whom she lived. She
found opportunity to join a company
that was going “on the road,” in a
month, with a new play. For the
preparatory, again she we.it to re
hersals without a cent of pay.
The company opened at a distant
point, d’d not prove successful,
and disbanded, without a dollar be
ing paid, either for service, board or
means to get back. The child had
been left in New York and, of course,
the mother got back to it somehow,
as mother’s always do. But want,
an y.iety and bodily ills had stricken
her down again and no long time
could elapse before the weary and
faithful heart would be at rest, after
such sn uggles, temptations and bit
ter humiliations, as few women can
with stand for one half of the time
this poor woman has done.
Yet she was “on’y a ballet dancer.”
Well, thank God, heaven’s gates will
open quicker and wider for the ballet
dancer, such as she, than for one
half of those who would have consid
j ere d themselves defiled by association
| w qh her, down here.
If this woman with the advantages
0 f beauty, accomplishments, high
musical ability and a naural apti
tude for success has worn out her
pf e j n the struggle and gone to her
grave, a victim to theatrical trials,
and disappointments, what will be
the chances of the mass of ignorant
novices who k.'ow of the profession
save its glittering outside show, but
who think they can easily mount at
the top of the ladder.
Let them answer the conundrum
themselves.
STRAY LEAFLETS.
Brooklyn is troubled by respected
and importantant burglaries, as much
as four in the last week. To sum
mer there exists a great number of
vacant houses, in the 4th, 9th and
10th precincts which contain some of
the finest residences in the city. Each
precinct has a detective who is sup
posed to go round every day to try
the doors of vacant houses and see
that they are all right. Unhappily
these precincts are so extensive mat
the detective, are cable to try all
q le houses in one day. New York
are the supposed authors of
near ]y all these burglaries. I hey
th j„ k the y have a great field over
t h ere j n f ac t they have.
Sexeral persons have applied with
sl , ccess to be released from captivity
in Insane A»ytam. Sure'y the latv
w hi c h allows such terrible errors
ough , to be rebelled, It is easier
, now t0 „ et a brother in carcerated
for three years in m Insan . Asylum
t j, an to „ et an y gambling swindler
«« ,r, eight day's prison.
1 The District Attorney seems, how
! have , thoroughly , , , frightened , . . .
; eve r to
the policy dealers and gambling den
keepers at the city. He acts over
the head of enr muniUp'e p*e and
uses h s ow.i pr.vate defectives. It
looks as if he meant work, and re¬
sults from his work.
The Bellevue Hotel on the Jersey
Highlands is infected with typhoid
fever. All the guests ran away and
the families of two persons taken ill
have been obliged to hand$5,ooo to the
hotel keeper to prevent the immediate
removal of the patients. The case
will certainly come into court with
curious details.
THE DYING SENATOR.
Randall at the Deathbed of Hill.
No worthier tribute to the memory
of our lamented Senator has appear
ed than the following from the gi f ted
^ ^ ^ et p tor Q f t | ie Aguusta
Chronicle and Constitutionalist. It
will be read with interest by the
many personal friends of the distin¬
guished subject numbered among the
readers of the Journai..
“In company with W.n. E. Browne
who had just returned from the Agri¬
cultural Convention at Marietta, the
writer visited the bedside of Senator
Hill, for the purpose of paying re¬
spect to the intellectual giant upon
whom an awful silence has fallen, and
who, surrounded by those he best
loves, is about to discard an earthly
tabernacle and put on garments of
immortality. It was not our inten
tion to disturb Mr. Hdl, or even to
see him. We simply desired to have
him kmw that a call had been made
and reverential messages left. Both
of us had seen the glorious Ben Hill
in the days of his might and majesty,
and both wished to remember him
always as lie loomed up gigantically
and god-like in the past, when all
was victory, health and vitality. But
when the Senator understood who his
callers were, he signified a wish t >
to see them. By the devoted wife
we were ushered into the presence of
our friend, and it was a great shoc,c
to see him so prostrate, so changed,
so drearily mute, so unspeakably af.
flicted. The b ow was a radiant
dome of thought. It glowed with
supernal beauty. The large blue
eyes spoke a recognition that the
tongue could no longer fashion.
Tears gathered in them as he looked,
with almost unearthly fixedness upon
us, as if the brilliant triumphs of the
Confedeiate Senate and the match
lers career on the Federal arena had
met in the presence of the older and
younger man who stood before him.
Hj s face had grown much thinner
an d whiter. TI nose had become
sharp and pinched, The terrible
chasm in the right side of the throat
and jaw, hidden by cotton wadding
and bandages, had shrunken his low
er features, which were more distort¬
ed by an abnormal swelling of the
under l ; p. This gave the whole
countenance an air of stern, though
resigned sadness. His thin hands
lay upon the counterpane betimes
helplessly, and then again they were
raised with his old executive gesture
to the face or else motioning 'Jor his
tablet and pencil for the purpose of
communicating an errant thought.
j He took us by the hand, and -he re
j peated pressire told us telegraphical
[y f.-om heart to heart all that he
would so gladly have spoken. 'I wice
he wrote upon his tablet, convey: 'g
the first time what he hapily deemed
to be his real condition. 'I he second
writing was to assure us that he
could hear well, although he could j
not articulate, and that it did not
isturb but rather pleased him to
-
listen to what was said. We kept
one sheet of the manuscript, which is
still boidly written, Other expre::
sions of his in this form were shown
us by Mrs. Hill, who finds it hard to
emulate the perfect resignation of
great, loving and stricken husband,
In one of these communications Mr.
Hill testifies to his utter faith in
Christ cmcified, and the firm hope
he bas tliat 35 tiie sinless Redeemer
suffered for sinful man, so all dtas,
emngs shou.d be borne m t e same
spirit CT1 jrir for tor the tiie same sa end , and that
as God is the most wise, the tr.a s
sent upon His children must be ac
unto viie last, MIX in aao.-r c"—'
cation, he rearons out the burial,
resurrection and the life from a grain
of corn that must be entombed in
order to spring forth in symmetry,
fruit and beauty. So he, reposing
with child-like trust in the eternal
Sower, will go to dust and then
emerge into everlasting light with
strength, comeliness and usefulness
spiritualized and renewed. And so,
prostrate and yet uplifted by super¬
natural arms, wrecked in the body,
but clothed in the armor of the spirit
smitten with dumbness, and yet elo¬
quent in suffering borne for Christ’s
sake, weak as a child, yet a Titan in
strong hopes of the redemption of
the world, in love with life and yet
unabashed at death, the great, the
glorious, the incomparable, the
matchlsss Ben Hill looks his last upon
the home of affection and the scenes
of his conquest and the grave—only
waiting the summons of the Lord to
answer “1 am here I"
CORRESPONDENCE.
11. D. Lock Challenges Tom liar
deman to Stump the Slate With
Him, and Gets Floored.
The following correspondence be¬
tween Mr. R. D. Locke and Col.
Thus. Hardeman explains itself:
Washington, D. C., August 8.—
Col. Thomas Hardeman, Macon, Ga.
—Dear Sir: 1 tender you hearty
congratulations upon your nomina¬
tion by the Democratic party for
Congressman-at-large. As the Re¬
publican party of Georgia in conven¬
tion at Atlanta recently nominated
me for the same office, I trust you
will consent to a joint campaign of
the State with me. I will vist Ma
con within ten days to arrange with
you the details of the campaign, pro¬
vided you are willing to discuss with
me, before the people, whatever is
sues may be involved, As I will
be here bu‘ a few days, you may ad¬
dress me, care of Mr. W. W. Brown,
Macon. I am, with great respect,
your obedient servent,
R. D. Locke.
Macon, Ga., August 14, 1882.
Mr. R. D. Locke— Dear Sir. I
am in receipt of your letter of the
8th instant, from Washington City,
tendering your congratulations upon
my nomination by the Democratic
party for the position of Congress¬
man-at-large, and asking if I
“consent to a joint campaign of the
State with you.” as “the
party of Georgia, in convention
Atlanta, recently nominated” you
the same position. While 1 thank you
for your kind congratulations,
will permit me to express my sur¬
prise at the information contained in
your letter about the act’on of the
“Republican party of Georgia.” I
have before me The National,
gust 10th, 1882—a political
published in Atlanta, Ga., and said
to be the organ of that party—giving
the proceedings of “the Republican
State convention,” which has at the
head of its columns the following:
“republican state ticket.
“B or Secretary of State,
“Win. I. White, of Richmond.
“For Attorney-General,
“John D. Cunningham, of Fulton.
STATE NATIONAL TICKET.
“For Congressman at■ Large,
“James Jaingstreet, of Hall.”
I am therefore constraned to ask
if the nominee of the Republican
State convention, James Longstreet,
has been withdrawn, and if you have
been substituted in his place? ihat
paper speaks of a convention of “bol
ters,” comprised as it asserts, “of a
few gentlemen and representatives of
every other grade of society, from the
ex-convict down to the strolling vag
abond from Skowhegan,” which was
opened with prayer (so it affirms) “by
a convict lately discharged from the
Georgia penitentiary and wound up
b y putting out bastard ticket, to be
set down ui>or. by honest Repubh
” but it does not inform the
1 ^ were the nominees of that
convention. While I do not adopt i
own nor have I the heart
’
tll o verv harsh and acn

ed to the conclusion, you are one of
the nominees of that body of men
alluded to in said paper, “who, to
save themselves from utter rout, bolt¬
ed the convention and organized an¬
other body,” and placed in nomina¬
tion that “bastard ticket” in opposi¬
tion to the one nominated by the
“Republican State Convention” on
which I find the name “James Long
street” for “Congressman-at-large.”
I would, therefore, respectfully but
kindly suggest, if these facts as stated
by the organ of the Republican party
be true, (and it does not become me
to deny them) that you are opposing
James Longstreet for Congressman-at
large and not myself, and that you
should have addressed your commu.
nication to him, asking him to can¬
vass with you before the people of
Georgia, the claims of the candidates
of these respective conventions, and
that if he consents to the arrange¬
ment, I know you will agree with me
that it would be exceedingly unbe¬
coming in me to advise you to neg¬
lect, for this purpose, your public du¬
ties, and still more ungenerous to
take sides with either wing of the
party in their “labor to have all past
differences between the Republicans
honorably and amicably adjusted,”
so that you might be enabled, as you
say, “to move forward together to
win victory over the common enemy,
Bourbon Democracy.”
As 1 will not be in Macon at the
time you say you will reach our city,
1 have answered your very kind let¬
ter through the columns of the Tele¬
graph and Messenger of this city,
hoping that it will be copied in your
organ, the National, in Atlanta. I
am, sir, very respectfully,
Thomas Hardeman.

Nabob Tobal.
Ololie-Domoorat.
An Indian caravan arrived in Paris
three weeks ago, and, of course, at¬
tracted general attention. The chief
nabob was Tobal up Dowlah, a high
official of the town of Ootnra, in the
Bombay Presidency. This stranger
is about 50 years old, of imposing
mien, the possessor of a coal black
beard and of numerous attendants
He has three secretaries, an English
physician—a constant companion—
and six inferior attendants. The
company, with their baggage, filled
for a time the greater part of the
court yard of the Grand Hotel, where
they were registered. They were
given apartments once occupied by
the Chinese embassy and later on as¬
signed to Kalakaua, of the Hawaiian
Islands, when he visited Paris on his
last European trip. The Indians
were bent on sight seeing, and pro¬
fessed to have had a veiy good time
in Paris before they took their depar¬
ture for London.
A Buffalo man has perfected an
important invention which is nothing
less than a steam ti’cicle. It at first
sight resembles a low open buggy.
The seat is placed between the two
principle wheels, the third wheel be¬
ing in front, about five feet away
from the others. It is smalter and is
used for guiding the vehicle. '1 he
motive power is applied by means of
a spur wheel and belt connecting the
axle of the hind wheels w.th the en
gme. For fuel gasoline is used and
two gallons of the fluid, surrounded
by water, will be ca ried in reservoir
under the seat. It will be conveyed
o the furnace by means of tubes. It
is claimed that one gallon will be suf¬
ficient to run the engine nine hours
at the rate of 15 or 20 miles an hour.
The cost does not exceed $150,
