We very ranch regret to bear of the suspension
of the Advertiser-Republican, ot Savannah. It
was one of our most entertaining ex
changes, and the hard earned properly of two
very clever gentlemen.
We learn, though indirectly that the chief
cause of the suspension of the paper was the
embarrassments occasioned by the purchase
cm credit of the Republican office. We sup
pose, of course, under some new management
the paper will be revived. Savannah can
Well support two dailies.
ST A I E GEOLOGIST.
Prof. Geo. Little, of the University of Mis
sissippi, as has already been announced, has
been appointed to the office of Siate Geolo
gist by Gov. Smith.
It will be remembered that an act was
passed at the List session of the Legislature,
to create the office of State Geologist, and to
provide for a geological, mineralogies! and
physic il survey of the Stite of Georgia. The
act provides fjr a Board of Advisement, with
the Governor as its president, to consist of the
Governor, S cretary of the State, Comptrol
ler General, Treasurer, Attorney General and
Slate School Commissioner. It further pro-
\;tU*_tbat the State Geologist shall have two
-^competent assistants, to be chosen by the
Board. The former to have a salary ot
$2,000 per annum, and the latter to have each
a salary of $1,200. It is made the duty of
the Geologist aud his assistants forthwith
to map out the Suite into three geological
sections, as nearly equal in area as possible,
tv l»e known as North Georgia, Middle Geor
gia and South Georgia geological sections.
S j soon as a general outline of geological sur
vey ot the entire State, shall have teen made,
the geologist, is required to enter upon one
ot these sections, and assign one to each of
his assistants, and under bis control, the
corps shall proceed to make a careful and
complete geological, minerological and phys
ical survey; to enter upon records, to be kept
for the purpose in bis office, an accurate
statement of the locality and extent of all wa
ter powers, woods, roads, springs and water
courses, and the climate and general physic il
character of the country; to collect, analyze
and classify specimens of minerals, plants and
soils, and enter the same on record; to cause to
be preserved in a museum, specimens, illus
tratiog the geology, mineralogy, soils, plants,
valuable woods and whatever else may be
discovered in Georgia, of scientific or eco
nomical value. For the purpose of making
the analysis here contemplated, the geologist
shall have access to the chemical iabratory of
the State University.
The Board of Advisement will have super
vision of the money expenditures in the pros
ecution of the work contemplated by the act.
Toe geologist is required to make to the Gov
ernor monthly statements, under oath, of all
incidental expenses necessarily incurred by
himself a cl Lis assistants in and about the
di'Cuarge of their daties. The Governor,
with the advice and consent of the Board,
may at uny lime suspend the field operations
11 the geological corps until the next meet
ing of the General Assembly. It should be

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.]
WA8Hington, August 12.— In answer to the
congratulatory telegraph from tho President
of the Argentine Republic aud Paraguay, on
the completion of telegraph between Europe
and South America, President Grant sent the
following from the Executive Mansion ;
Washington City, Aug. 10.
President of the Argentine Republic :
I heartily congratulate your Republic on
the completion ot a wo r k which brings the
South American nations into immediate
communication with etch other and with the
balance of the civilized world. It is an im
portant »tep in the interest of commerce and
good fellowship between nations and ptople.
Signed U. S. Grant.
Executive Mansion, Aug. 11.
President of Uruguay:
I send the warmest congratulations on the
completion of Hie telegraph line between
jonr country and ours, and most of the
civilized nations of the world.
Signed U. S. Grant.
The custom receipts for the week ending
August 8th were: New York, $2,767,396;
Philadelphia, $144,523; Baltimore, $105,743.
Attorney General Williams Las forwarded
his opinion as to whether the tiiree-sixty-five
bond of tho District is goli or currency to
the President, by whom an opinion on the
subject was solicited. He will not make the
opinion public uutil he is advised to do so by
President Graut.
The participation of certain officers of the
United States service in the movements of
the Japan and English governments against
the inhabitants of the island of Formosa is
likely to cause some embarrassment between
our government and that of China. The latter
claims to have jurisdiction over the Island
Formosa and its people, and that any pro
ceeding on the part of the United States citi
zens of an unfriendly or bell perent character
against said island or people is a violation of
neutrality. One of the offierrs connected
with the expedition is Lieut. Douglass Eassell,
of the navy. Gen. Legndre and an ex-U. S.
consul are also attached to it. The Chinese
government has made complaint to this gov
ernment, and the case is now subject of diplo
matic correspondence betweon the two gov
ernments. The action of the United States
officers referred to was totally unauthorized,
and will no doubt be disavowed by this gov
ernment.

I would respectfully report that during the
night of the 6th inst., I was apprised that In

sent to notify the company at Fist Head Pass

adept in the natural science*, and withal a

practical geology, and in this important
Lranch of natural science be ranks high. His

Prof. Little is a Southern man, and is fa

Mihsibbippi and Alabama. He spent some
time in North Georgia during the war, ami
at the Laboratory in Macon, and his present
knowledge will enable him to push forward
the survey contemplated by the Legislature
without wasting much time in the usual pre
liminary work.
A thorough geological, mineralogical and
physical survey of the State will be worth un
told thousands to our people. It will inform
us of the extent of our mineral wealth, and
will soon bring our lands and inexhaustible
water power into notice. But we have not
tunc this morning to enumerate the advant
ages which are sure to flow from this wise act
of the Legislature. The salary of the Geolo
gist is too small, however. It is not unusual
in the other Slates to pay their Geologist from
four to twelve thousand dollars per annum.

Madison, Wm., August 12.—The railroad
injunction cose was continued yesterday in the
Supreme Court Gen. Geo. B. Smith is clo
sing his argument in behalf of the raihoad,
and is making an earnest appeal to the Comt
not to issue the injunction claimed, holding
that the enforcement of the Potter law would
do irreparable injury to the railroad. Assist
ant Attorney General Sloan began his argu
ment, at the conclusion of Smith’s, on behalf
ot the btate. He claimed that the people of
the btate, who had given valuable franobi**
tothrse roads, should have a voice in their
control. He made many strong points sgainst
the railroad management, showing that the
expenses of the roads were much smaller and
the receipts much larger than recorded by the
Railroad Attorneys, and the rates, as fixed by
the Potter law, were not unreasonably low.
The arguments in the ease will be con
tinued to-day, and it is expected the decision
will also be given to-day.
[RY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.]
Washington. August 12. —It is rumored
that the blacks have captured Austin.
Memphis, August 12.—A special to the Ava
lanche liom licit in, dated noon, says in the
fiigbt at Austin last night eight or ten negroes
were killed.
Reinforcements are coming in to the whites
from the hills, aud tho negroes are being re
inforced from the surrounding country. The
whites have Austin barricaded, and will proba
bly be able to keep tbe negroes off, but they
need help in provisions and ammunition.
Several officials have been here from Tuni
ca county bince yesterday, and telegraphed to
Gov. Ames at Jackson for assistance, but up
to this tima have not heard a word.
This special also states that the whites have
taken the landing, some three miles below
Austin, and the only landing in that viciuity
at the present stage of water, and this is cor
roborated by the officers of ihe H G. Yeager*
which arrived here to-night and who saw a
body of armed white men there as they passed
Memphis August 12.—Capt James Lee, of
the steamer br. Francis, which arrived fro*
below this morning, says that after the ne
groes, who had Austin surrounded were re
pulsed, yesteiday they disappeared, and the
story soon circulated that they were murder
ing women aud children left unprotected on
the surrounding plantations, which caused
men who had been defending the place to
start for their homes to protect their families.
Austin was soon left without any defense ex
cept one or two white men, and the negroes
took possession and proceeded to break open
saloons and stores and help thenlselves. At
last accounts they had committed no acts of
violence towards the few whites who were un
able to get away, but as they were becoming
drunk fears were entertained that they would
burn the village. Messengers were sent to
Capt. Lee asking him to land there, but he
had a largo number of refugees on board,
some of whom the negroes had threatened to
kill. Dr. Pnillips, late Republican member
of the Legislature, being of the number, and
they begging him not to do so, he passed on
np without landing.
11 m. Chalmers came np on the St. Francis
to Bethel landing, where the St. Francis met
the whites with reinforcements. From there
he was requested by the Deputy Sheriff, in
the absence of tho Sheriff, to take command
of the men, and he weut back with them.—
They will laud at O. K. lauding, and endeav
or to cut off the retroat of the negroes from
the hills, and doubtless ere this the whole
lorce has been captured. The negroes had
no suspicions ot approach by force, and were
too busily engaged in debanch to be prepared
to meet them. General Chalmers is a man of
well-known courage and coolness, and his be
ing in command giv s assurance that no blood
will be unnecessarily shed. It is proper to
slate that politics have nothing to do with
this trouble, aud that Mayor Weodson and a
number of other men who have been pro
scribed by the negroes are Republicans.
Memphis, August 12.—News from Austin
is anxiously expected this morning, but as it
is 20 miles to the nearest telegraph station, it
is not probable that anything definite will be
obtained before noon. The Appeal’s special
from Helena, this morning, after recounting
the occupation of Austin by negroes, as
already reported, says : At Belmont landing,
ol Morgan held command, and stated that
too hazardous to make an assault on
the blacks, entrenched at Austin, owing to
want of proper authority, a suitable number
of men and ammunition. He preferred land
ing at Moon’s, above Austin, where he could
place himself in better condition and await
Executive authority. Gen. Coaimers came
on board, He objected to landing at Moon s,
and insisted in 1 mding at O. K. or Shoo Fly,
most of the » fficers agreeing with him. To
this Col. Morgan objected as being in the
midst of the enemy, and subjecting his com
mand to immediate attack from all sides,
while unprepared for it. He then ordered
back the commissary supplies, w’hich had
been lauded and Capt. Finney’s company,
which had been thrown out as skirmishers,
nd calling the officers together, told them he
felt it was his duty, under the circumstances,
not t j taso tbe risk. To this most ot the
officers objects l Col. Morgan then resigned,
and Gen. Chalmers was eleected commander,
and landed at Shoo Fly.

Helena, August 12.—Thomas H. Allen A
Cc.Send us reinforcements by SL Francis;
send gans with fixed ammunition, if possible;
send rations for ten days lor five hundred men.
(Signed,) J. R. Chalmers.
From which it would seem that Gen. Chal
mers bad decided not to attack.
Memphis, Atu». 12 —The excitement here
iu regard to the Austria riot is becoming more
intense, owing to the unfounded rumors of
sorno young men of this city being killed in
an attack on the place. The following is
posted about the city: Reliable men wanted
to report on board the steamer St. Francis at
4 o’clock this day, arms and ammunition will
be furnished to them, also, three hundred
men well armed aud equipped to report at
the same time and place; Gen. King White
will assume caminand. This poster has ad
ded to the excitement. It is thought several
hundred men will go to-night on the St.
Francis. Three pieces of artillery are expect
ed from Arkansas.
The colored people unable to understand
the presence of an armed squad of ineo, be
came much excited. About nine o’clock, the
Mayor obtained possession of the arms and
had them placed on the wharf boat, for ship
ment by the first steimer. On the arrival of
the little steamer Trades, the Mississippians,
escorted by the Mayor, Sheriff and other offi
cials and followed by a large crowd of negroes
were marched on board the Trades and ship
ped to Austin. There has been nothing re
liable heard from Austin to-day. The negroes
report a fight there last night and that six or
eight whites were killed. The following tel
egram has just been received:
Austin, Miss., Aug. 12.—Col. Marion
Campbell, Helena You are requested and
authorized by me to suppress the riot at Aus
tin, so that peace may be restored and life
savtd. Signed, Ames, Governor.
Another special telegram to the Appeal
from Helena, says:—A Air. Sebastian, just
arrived from Austin, makes the following
statement:
Between three and four hundred men from
Memphis, landed at Shoo Fly, five miles be
low Austin this morning and inarched into
town without opposition. At three o’clock,
the citizens bad abandoned their place on the
previous evening, and the negroes after hold
ing their place a few hours and searching it,
lett for their homes. The Memphisians found
about thirty negroes in town, who surren
der* d at once, eight of whom were arrested
and sent to jail, others were non-combatants
and were not molested. Everything up to
uine o'clock, when I left was quiet. At Trot
ter’s Landing, I learned that negroes were or
ganizing for tho purpose of retaking Austin,
and their pickets were stopping everybody.
Col. Campbell, formerly sheriff of DeSoto
county, Miss , has crossed the river here aud
has gone to Austin to endeavor to restore
peaej.

BAZAINE
PARTICULARS OF HIS ESCAPE—HIS WIFE IN
STRUMENTAL IN EFFECTING IT—SUPPOSED
TO HAVE LANDED AT GENOA.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO IHE HERALD. ]
London, August 12.—The following inter
esting partieulars of the escape of Marshal
Bazaine, from his prison on the Island of
St. Marguerite, have been received :
The apartments occupied by Marshal Ba
zaine opened upon a terrace, which was built
upon a lofty and precipitious cliff overhang
ing the sea. A sentry was posted on the ter
race with orders to watch the prisoner’s move
ment. On Sunday eveniug the Marshal walk
ed upon the terrace with Colonel Vilette, his
aid-de-camp. At two o’clock he retired, as
usual, apparently to sleep, but before day
break he had effected his escape. He must
have crossed the terrace in tho dead of the
night and eluding the fcsentinel, gained the
edge of the precipice, thence, by means of a
knotted rope, he descended to the sea. He
evidently slipped daring the decent and tore
his hands, as a rope was found stained with
blood in several places. Under tho cliff,
seated in a hired boat, were Bazaine’s wife
and cousin. They received him as ho reached
the water, aud Maname La Mare-
chale taking the oars herself pulled directly to
a strange steamer which had been lying off
tbe Island since the previous evening. They
reached the vessel in safety, and were taken
on board, aud the steamer put to sea. It is
thought that they have landed at Genoa, as
the steamer proceeds in that direction. The
first news of the affair came to Grasse, the
nearest place on the coast, and the magis
trates ol the town immediately seut others
in every direction to search for tl o fugitive.
There was great commotion in Marseillts
when the fact became known. An investiga
tion ordered. Col. Villette, who was walking
with the Marshal on the evening of his es
cape, was discovered there and imprisoned.
The commandant of the Fort of bt Margue
rite, was placed under arrest. Gen. Seweill
has gone gto the Island, to investigate the
affair.
Paris, August 12.—It has been ascertained
that a plan lor Marshal Bazaine’s escape was
arranged six weeks ago. It was entirely tho
work of Madame Bazaine. Tho Marshal re
used at first to fly, but finally, owing to his
failure to obtain some modification of his sen
tence, yielded. He sailed irom the island iu
the steam yacht Borra Ricasoli, belonging to
an Italian company. He refused to employ a
French vessel. He was accompanied iu his
flight by his wife and brother. His plan of
refuge is not known, borne persons say he is
in Spain. Domestics al the fort where Mar
shal Bazaine was imprisoned have been ar
rested.

Was it some Cora Pearl, who with her
scarlet lips and tender eyes had been driving
young Atlanta to distraction aud to suicide ?
Or some souliul devil of a widow who hud
been inciting Chari, s Augustus to steal his
mother's diamonds? Or some long-haired
witch-woman, whose haggard sorceries had
marked her as the spouse of the devil ? Who,
or what manner of woman was this that in the
fell-time ot civilization is banished from the
good citj r of Atlanta, “never to return?”
•Siren, is she, or—what?
I followed Purcell, as his burly figure stag
gered down the aiele.
He touched a lady on the shoulder, and as
I aat down opposite to her, she raised herself
up.
I looked then, expecting to catch a melting
glance from the eyes of scarlet-lipped Circe
herself, or to meet the steady gaze of some
poor hall-crazed Salem witch. Banished be
cause ot her dangerous beauty and her illicit
love*; or banished because ol her wicked
craft and sorcer .es!
Instead of that, a palo and pinched face —a
free utterly wearied and worn; a faco listless
in its despair; a lace on whose flat surface
oven its very features seemed flattened out.
A figure as listless as death, flat and ab«o!ulo
ly uninteresting supported tho luce. She was
clad in bombazine. Now bombazine is, with
out exception, tho most melancholy of all
fabrics, even when it is now’. Whin it is
badly worn, and its sad surface puU On that
shiny look, which in cloth as in man, pr, sages
dissolution, it becomes pathetic aud tearful.
That then is what I saw ! A womau with
her son! crushed out; a white c rpso moved
cn springs as an automaton; with a face out
of which all the ebb and flow of impulse, and
passion, aud sentiment, had died away, and
across which no refreshing wave ot hope
everswept—* stark, staring, white aud dry
beach, from which God had pushed back the
tides. And clad appropriately
IN FUNEREAL BOMBAZINE !
In an instant wo guessed the crime which
had banished her. It was poverty ! Not
seduction; not sin; not sorcery; but poverty !
Because sire was poor, aud draiuod the pur.se
of rich Atlanta, she was banished ! Shipped
from the city as a piece of freight—“nover to
return.” Hustled out pretty much as one
thugs a chip on an ebbiug wavo— careless of
its fate; only certain that “it will never re
turn !’*
Too wise in our day to drive people out be
cause of witchcraft; to liberal to banish sin
and pleasure and passion; and yet cruel
enough to send into perpottiui i v ie, plaiu and
sim [>le poverty.
On tbe seat iu front of my exile lay as
bright and pretty a golden haired child as
ever dazzled a mother’s eyts. Hers, I
suppose! Though I must swear, I cannot
guess what fortune ever struck such a divine
spark from her dull system.
Presuming upon that assurance which af
fluence or even competency always assumes
towards the very poor, aud the very helpless,
I asked her where she w'as going.
“To Augusta, sir,” in a voice innocent ot
infliction, and as fiat as her face.
“Relations there, I suppose?”
“No, sir.”
“Ah, your relations live beyond Augusta,
then ?”
“I bawfci’t a relation on earth, sir, except
my little girl,” still speaking in that measured
voice which reminded me of the magician as
ho draws ribbon from between bis teeth.
“What are yon going to Augusta for thou ?”
“Because they seut me.”
“Who sent jou ?”
“The ladies of Atlanta. You see they have
been taking care of me a week or so, and they
told me 1 must leave, i told them I bad no
money, and they said they’d get me a ticket
if I’d promise nover to come back. I.did it,
and they sent me to Augusta.”
“Have you oyer been there before ?”
“Ns, sir.”
“How long will you stay?”
“Till they send me somewhere else, sir.”
This then was htr history. This her luturc.
A sort of female Wandering Jew, driven on by
a curse more terribh, and a motive more im
perious than ever drove wanderer before. On
and on with never a stopping place; toiling
around the endless circle ol paiiperdom; dying
out of a community every week; making no
friends; forming no attachments; like Lot’s
wif6, forbidden to look behind her; doomed to
a perpetual life among strangers; no sooner
winning some heart to sympathy, thin she is
ca>t out as au uuc'.ean thing, aud sent to
shove her uuwelcome face into a new circle of
people; on and on from town to town, and
from State to State, despised of all men, con
temned of all women, she marches in her
bombazine, with no goal ahead of her but a
home, and that home is a grave !

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.
Chicago, August 12.—The funeral of Bish
op Whitehouse, takes place to-morrow.
Bishop Whipple of Minnesota, will deliver
the funeral oration. A large number of laity
from abroad are expected to attend. His
successor will be elected at the annual con
vention, to be held here on the 15th of Sep
tember.
Savannah, August 12.—The Advertiser aud
Republican of this city, appeared in a half
sheet this morning, announcing tho suspen
sion on acoountof financial embarrassment.
Paris, August 12 —It has been ascertained
that tbe plan for Marshal Bazine to escape
from Saint Margurette, was arranged six
wseks agar It was entirely the work of Mad
ame Bazine. The Marshal at first refused to
fly, bnt finally, owing to his failnro to ob
tain a modification of bis sentence, he sailed
from the Island in the steam yacht Barone.
Ricasoli belonging to an Italian company,
hs refused to empley a French vessel, lie
was accompanied in his flight by his wife and
brother. His place of refuge is not known.
Some persons say he is in Bpain. Domestico,
where he was imprisoned, has been arrested.
Statistics of Immigration.—The statistics
of immigiation at New York for tho first seven
months of the present year with those for the
same period last year show a dccraase in the
number of immigrants arriving. The follow
ing is a comparison: For 1874, seven months,
78,353; 1873, Mven months, 183,913.
Madrid, August 12.—Tho Government lias
received a dispatob from Gen. Manones, an
nouncing that bia t roopa have attacked tbe
OarlieU at Ottsiasa in Naraire, and carried
several of their entrenchman!*.
When wo reached Augusta, with a calmness
that looked like it was professional, she seat
ed herself and her child in a free bus and
started to tho hotel. Arriving there, with
the same stately calmness she followed tho
porter to a parlor aud called for a room. I
don’t suppose she had bad her hands on a
piece of money in ten years. And yet in rib-
bou like voico she called for a room.
The porter, hardly certain enough of her
poverty to show her to the street, had enough
sagacity to do the next safest thing; which
was to show her to the top story. Aud he
marched oft’ wit a her, up and up tho steps
till I got dizzy watching her, and tho bustle
of her bombazine could no longer be heard ;
up aud up, as if she was going “never to re
turn.”
I suppose she got a bed. She certainly
did, unless the servant chucked her out of
the skylight.
WHAT IS THE REMEDY FOR THI8?
Is there no remedy for this inhuman habit
which cities have of chucking each otheis
paupers out upon each other ? I suppose a
city into which they aro chucked must chuck
them out ? Where there are exotics they may
bo transplanted. But there is no exotio that
don’t have a homo ouce. Does Atlanta do
enough for her native poor ? II.is she full
and ample accommodations for them ? Has
she mado such provisions for them as she
should have mado? Has she given according
to her means? * * *
I am sorry I met the palo exile at all!
She will haunt iny lout-ly couch like a
bombazine nightmare for tho next teu yearn.
I regret that I didn’t givo her something,
eveu if it had been but a peach for her sunny
obit of a child.
At this late day I rise to wish her well on
her journey. And when she fetches up short
on the coniines of life, and He who rules all
thing* gives her a ticket to realms beyoud
the skies, I do pray (or I believe she will)
that she can turn upon earth, and promise
with a smile in her heart and sunshine on
her lips, thot she is going “never to return.”

An Old Sermon of Beecher’s.
Tho Seducer and His Victim.
A resident ot Minneapolis picked up an old
scrap-bork created iu his hours of boyish
leisure iiltten or twenty years ago, and found
therein a sermon on “The Seducer aud Ilis
Victim,” which was delivered by Henry Ward
Beecher, iu Brooklyn, in the year 1850. Tne
Minneapolis gentl ruau copied the sermon
and sent it to tbe fct. Paul Pioneer. We ex
tract the following significant indictment of
the seducer:
Tho seducer ! Playing imnn n ost sa
cred passions, ho b*-Pays innocence. How?
By its tenderost faculties; l y its trust; Uj its
uususpccting faith; by ils uouor. Tho vic
tim olten aud ofteu is not tho accomplice so
much as the suff rer, betrayed by an exorcism
which bewitched her noblest affections, and
bteame tbe suicide ot her virtue! The be
trayer, tor tho most .intense selfishness, with
out one noble motive, without one pretence of
honor by lies; by a devili-di jnggleiy ot fraud;
by bliuding the eye, confusing the conscience,
misleading the judgment, and instilling the
dew ofborcery upon every flower of sweet at-
fection, deli« erag*1v, heartlessly, damns the
confiding victi * ! fs then* one shade of good
intentions, one ghmnn ring trace of light?
Not one. There whs not the most shadowy,
tremulous intention ot honor It was sheer,
premedita'ed, w .i ksale ruin, from beginning
to end. Tho accursed soicerer opens the
door of the world to push her forth. Sh
looks out all Khnddering, for there is shame
and slnirp-'ootir .] hatred and chatteringslan-
|d*.:r, aud ludigiutt envy, and triumphing
jealousy, a?.d imir-L ions lvwnge these are
seen rising before her; clouds full of lire, that
burn but will not kill. And there is for hei
want aud poverty and gaunt famine. There
is the world spread out. She sees father and
mother heartlessly abandoning htr; a
brother’s shame, a sister's anguish. It is
a vision of desolation, a nlundered home: an
ultar where honor, and purity, and virtue,
and peace have been insidiously sacrificed to
tho foul Moloch. All is cheerless to the eye,
and her ear catches the sound of sighing and
mourning, wails aud laments; and far down,
at the horizon ot the vision, the murky cloud
for a moment lifts, and she secs the very bot
tom of infamy, the ghastliness of death, the
last spasm ol horrible departure, tho awful
thunder of final doom. All this the trewb
ling, betrayed creature sees through the open
door ol tho future; and with a voice that
might move the dead, she turns and clasps
his knees in awful agony: “Leave me not!
Oh ! spare mo—save mo—cast me not away !”
Poor thing—she is dealing with a demon!
Spare her ? —save her ? The polished scoun
drel betrayed her to abandon her, aud walks
the streets to boast his hellish deed. It be
comes him as a reputation! Surely society
will crush him ! They will smite the woif and
seek out the bleeding lamb. Ob, my soul,
believe it not! What Bight is that? The
drooping vic’im is worse used than the infer
nal destroyer ! He is fondled, courted, passed
from honor to honor, and she is crushed and
mangl' d uuder the infuriated tramp of public
indignation. On her mangled corpse they
stand to put the laurels on her murderer’s
brow ! When I sc-e such things as these, I
thank (Sol there is a judgment, and that there
is a hell !”
How a Fortune Was Made and
Lost.
Tho Dimmock mansion on Broad street,
Elizabeth, New Jersey, is generally recognized
as one of the most magnificent as well as cost
ly private residences iu the {State. It was be
gun in 1871, or thereabouts, and cost Anthony
VV. Dimmock, the once well known Wall
street millionaire, between $190,000 and
$500 009. His failure in 1872 lelt tho house
still unfinished, aud incumbered with mort
gages. Recently tbe matter has been thrown
into tbe hands ot a Mister in the Chancery,
who is taking testimony as to the rights and
preferences of mortgages and mechanics.
Among those having large claims agaiust
thi-; property is Mr. Puidv, a builder ot this
city. Ho did the interior wood work, and
has put in his bill at £50,000, and has Liken
a lieu on the premises. Another New Yorker,
a Mr. Jacobus, holds a moitgage of $80,000
on the house, aud the question of priority of
claim between him and Mr. Purdy promises
to be a vexed one. Besides these two claim
ants is the Mutual Benefit Insurance Compa
ny of Newark, N. J., which holds a mortgage
of $10,000. Tne present owner of the equity
is Dr. Rowan, of Philadelphia, who took the
house at a nominal valuation of $350,000, ex
changing for it various properties of nominal
values. The mansion iu question *8 ol brown
stone, is three stories ia height, and is octag
onal in shape.
A tho time it was commenced A. W. Dim
mock, although but thirty-five or thirty-six
years of age, was one of the lions of Wall
street. At the ago ol nineteen he commenced
business iu this city iu the banking house of
H, G. Maynard, and worked tho first year for
$250. In 1861 65 his business tact led him
into speculation in gold, aud so successful
were lus ventures that he withdrew from the
house of Maynard aud established the firm of
A. W. Dimmock & Co. He is said to have
cleared $500,000 in one dav during the rise of
gold after the battle of Frtdericksburg. In
an evil hour he invested the greatt st portion
of a largo fortune in tha Atlantic Mail Steam
ship Lino, but through the withdrawal of
Daniel Drew aud others, who were in tho pool
the stock depreciated so rapidly that his losses
iu one day reached $1,500,000.
By disposing of his vast estate at Tarry-
town, ho settled with his creditors and began
anew, but getting a controlling interest in
tho same lino of steamships, to lowed by
long train of mishaps, irretrivibly rained
him, and iu 1872 he retired from W ill street.
Previous to this list failure, In* purchased
three hundred acres of land iu FA / .bedi and
erected thereon a largo number ot elegant
villas, aud finished by putting up tbe palatial
residence mentioned, which like the othors,
are iu litigation among his numerous credi
tors.
