CONSTITUTIONALIST
SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 187*.
The Matilda Huron Maiuuage.—Miss
Matilda Heron, now visiting her brother
in law, Dr. Iteilly, of Oakland, California,
recently informed an interviewer that the
papers had mistaken and misstated her ob
ject in visiting San Francisco. She says
she married Harry Byrne nearly twenty
years ago, and excepting a brief interval
had ever since considered herself his wife.
Bhe had also nflvried Harry H toe pel, bat it
was under a misapprehension of facts,
which in due time would be explained,
bhe claims, too, that Mr. Byrne regarded
her as his lawful wife to the day of his
death. She indignantly repudiated the idea
of breaking the will he left, although she
knew it was fraudulent. She wouldn’t
touch his money unless he gave it to her,
but her honor had been assailed, and she
would defend it even with her life. She
said it was false that Byrne spent only one
day with her when he was East, and that
he was several weeks at her father’s honse
In Philadelphia. The reasons fortheir sep
aration would be given at the proper time.
In 1800, she says, Mr. Byrne told her she
was his wife, though she had married
8 toe pel. He said that was void, aud tried
to dissuade her from returning East, bhe
did return to get her child, deeding every
thing she had to Htoepel and leaving him.
Bhe is preparing a history of t*ieir troubles
which will show that “ their lives were
pure but unfortunate, and their love as true
as steel.”
A President for Thirty six Hours
The Atlanta Constitution says: Kansas has
a cariosity iit the shape of a gentleman
who without being elected President or
Vice-President of the United Statesrclaims
to have been President for thirty-six hours.
His name is David FI. Atchison. He was
temporary President of the Senate aud act
ing Vice-President during the last of
Pierce’s term. Pierce’s term expired at
midnight Sunday. Buchanan was inaugu
rated at. noon Monday. Atchison says that
he succeeded to the Presidency as Presi
dent of the Senate when Mr. Pierce’s term
was out. He thus humorously describes
his administration :
“ But I had no realization of my high
position until about ten o’clock Sunday
morning. We had been hard at work in
the Benate finishing up business, and hav
ing lost much sleep, I would probably have
slept all day had 1 not been wakened up
by some personal friends who came to con
gratulate me, and secure positions for cer
tain parties. In order to do everything in
proper style, I appointed a full Cabinet;
and then it is said my administration was
the most successful and popular one ever
known, there not being a removal or ap
pointment during my whole term.”
A Prudent Patriarch.— Mr. Jos. M.
Baker, died recently in Adrain township,
Michigan, ninety-two years, removed there
in 1833, and selected 1,000 acres of Govern
ment laud, lylug partly iti the town of
Adrian, and partly in the town of Rome,
where a little settlement known as Wolf
Creek is located, and resolved to make it
his home during the remainder of his life.
Oti that farm he lived for thirty-nine yes.rs.
Mr. Baker had a fancy to see all his seven
children settle around him. This was his
reason for purchasing a thousand acre farm.
And so, iu carrying out his pet fancy, he
made it a rule, as fast as a son or daughter
came of age- or got married, to cut off a
liberal slice of the homestead, and give them
a farm in sight of his own residence. This
pla.ii he adhered to with all his children,
until he saw the six who are married ail
settled in the immediate vicinity of his
home. He died from old age, and not from
disease. He leaves 8 children, 83 grand
children, 40 great-grandchildren and 1
great-great-grandchild; total 82. In add!
tion to these, twenty six persons had mar
lied into the family, thus making a total of
108.
A Queer Hotet.. —Of all tho hotels lu
the world the very oldest Is a lonely one
in California, on the road between San Jose
and Santa Cruz. Imagine ten immense
tree*: standing a few feet apart, and hollow
iuside; these are the hotel, neat, breezy and
romantic. The largest tree is sixty five
feet round, and contains a sitting room and
that bureau of Bacchus where from is dis
pensed the thing that bltetb and stinget.h.
All about this tree is a garden of flowers
and evergreens. The drawing room is a
bower made of redwood, evergreens and
madron a branches. For bed chambers,
there are nine great hollow trees, white
washed or papered, and having doors cut
to fit the shape of the holes. Literature
finds a place in a leaning stomp, dabbed
“ the library.” If it was not for that same
haunt of Bacchas, It is certain that the
guests of this forest establishment would
feel like nothing so much as dryads.
Torpedoes in Great Britain. — The
Government of Great Britain has been
making an immense number of torpedoes,
to be used for the protection of the roast
and harbors of that country. No fewer
than 1,500 large canisters are now in store
at Woolwich dock yard, ready to be filled
with guu cotton or dynamite, and an im
mense number of galvanic batteries, gal
vanometers and telegraph instruments have
already been prepared. The torpedoes will
be arranged in rows or gronps in the chan
nel or along the coast, the canister con
taining the charge being joined to a float
ing or send-floating apparatus, termed a
clrcult-eloser or circuit-breaker, and the
whole connected with the shore by means'
of an electric cable. The circuit-closer,
when struck by a vessel, may either lie
made to send a signal to shore, or explode
the machine to which it is tethered.
Curious Vital .Statistics —Dr. Bus
sell's report on the vital statistics of New
York city, during the past year shows that
there were 05 murders committed In New
York in that time, and 114 suicides. Os
the murders, the most were committed by
foreigners of different nationalities; but the
report tells us that the greater part of the
i suicides were by Germans. Id this it is
■ first, bow disinclined and un
likely the American born and bred is to
take life, either any one’s else or his own ;
and next, that the tendency to seek relief
from suffering in violence shoves Itself in
the Celtic nee against other people, bat in
the Teutonic npon the sufferer's own seif.
The latest “co operation” idea comes
from New York. About two hundred
merchants have clubbed together and pro
pose to open an eating house of their own.
They pay S2OO each as a fund to have the
establishment fitted up, and then SIOO a
year each to support it, the consideration
being that they shall be supplied with the
best the market affords and get it at cost
price.

Richmond Academy. —The examination
of the pupils of this popular institution of
learning closed yesterday. The exercises
have been of a very interesting character
from first to last, and have redounded to
the credit both of the Academy and the pu
pils. Yesterday there was quite a large at_
tendance of ladies and gentlemen. Classes
in algebra, geometry .trigonometry, arithme
tic and Greek were examined by their re
spective teachers. The declamation at
Masonic Hall in the evening, by a number
of the pupils, closed the exercises. The
boys acquitted themselves well, and many
of them gave promise of becoming floe ora
tors in the future. The hall was crowded
to excess and the audience evinced their
appreciation of the speakers by freqaent
applause. Richmond Academy is in a
flourishing condition, and is an honor
to the State. The uames of one hundred
and fifty-three pupils were placed upon the
rolls daring the past scholastic year-
The average daily attendance was one hun
dred and eighteen during the same period.
Street Cars on Sunday.—lt would be
a great convenience to the public if the
Street Railway managers would, on the
Sabbath, place additional cars on their city
line. Every Sunday the cars are Ailed each
trip by colored people who, taking ad
vantage of the day, crowd into the seats,
while ladies and children going to or re
turning from church, Sunday school or the
Cemetery, are either compelled to stand up
In the cars, or walk. We suggest as a
remedy for this that, instead of one car on
a trip on Sundays, two cars be run—one
immediately following the other—with the
understanding that the first car is reserved
exclusively for the white people and the
second for the colored. We feel assured if
this plan is adopted the Augusta and Sum
merville Railroad Company will reap fully
as much benefit in increased receipts as the
public will in accommodation.
Will Stop on Washington Street.—
Gen. Alexander, the Superintendent of the
Charlotte, Columbia, and Augusta Rail
road, telegraphed yesterday to the Mayor
requesting permission for incoming and
outgoing trains on his road to stop for
a short time on Washington street In order
to give passengers desiring to do so an op
portunity to get off or on. The Mayor
granted the request, with the proviso how
ever that trains must not obstruclany of the
streets or stop longer than two minutes.
This stopping of the traius, although we
think the time allowed them too short,
will be of great convenience to many per
sons who would prefer to get off or oil in
Washington street rather than go to the
U nion Depot.
Setting Type for Greeley. —We find
in the New York Snn an account of two
compositors, employed on the New York
A’bion, who agreed to set one thou
sand i nis of type (solid brevier, 28% ems
wide) for tiie purpose of deciding which
candidate they should sup|»ort in the
coming campaign.
One of them, Harry B. Henan, is a strong
Greeley man, while the other, W. J. Thomp
son, is for Grant. The conditions were
that he who lost should support his antag
onist’s candidate. The contest commenced
at one o’clock. Henan set his thousand
ems in forty minutes, Tholhpaon coming
out two minntesbehind. 8o Horace is still
in the van.
LeftThbik Employers.— Three negrocß
employed under contract ou the plantations
of Messrs. Wm. and Thos. Parker in Barke
county deserted a few days since and came
to Augusta. One of the party found em
ployment on the Port Royal Rail read,
another hired himself to an old negro in
the city, and the other proceeded to Sputh
Carolina. One of the Messrs. Parker came
to Augusta yesterday and succeeded in ar
resting the two who were on this side of
the river.
Many planters are not only annoyed but.
their crops are seriously damaged by the de

Col. T. W. Higglnson was entertained

The Gen. D. W. Adams, of N. 0., who
died last week, fell across his desk while
writing the sentences of a brief. _He com
plained of a terrible pain iu his head, and
died before he could be removed. A wouud
in the head received at Shiloh is the sup
posed prime cause of his sudden demise.—
He was a native of Kentucky, a son of
George Adams, the United States District
Judge of Mississippi; removed to New Or
leans about twenty years ago, and took an
active part in the wir; became lieutenant
colonel; fought desperately at Shiloh, being
carried off the field apparently mortally
wounded. Adams received a minie ball in
the bones of the skull near the eye, causing
the loss thereof, but but recovered. At
Murl’reaboro, Stone river, Jackson, Chicka
ga and Missionary Ridge lie and his brigade
won great reputation. At the close of the
war, Adams resumed his professional prac
tice with his old partner, Gen. Ilarry T.
Hays. Never, perhaps, was there so bat
tered and scarred legal firm. Between
them they had received 8 or 9 wounds, and
had fought. and survived a hundred bloody
battles. Four years ago Gen. Adams re
moved to New York city and engaged in
tiie practice of his profession here, but. a
few months since he returned to New Or
leans, and had established himself with the
most flattering prospects,''when arrested by
death.
The women of Illinois will, on the first

employment (except military) on account
of sex. The only other exception is that
women cannot be eligible to elective of
fices ; and nothing in the act shall be con
strued as requiring any female to work on
streets or roads, or serve on juries. The
women of Illinois ought to rejoice over this
triumph, short as it falls of the demands
made by the radical reformers in petticoats.
A Washington dispatch says of Andrew
Johnson, who is now in this city, is non

says he will abide the decision of the Balti

nates will be elected aud make a better
President than General Grant. -He does

have abdicated their rights and liberties.
He proposes to take thestnmofor the nom

The New York World explains that Sen
ator Hchmz consented to sign the call for

tion that it should also he signed by Hor
ace White, Samuel Bowles or William Dor

What May be Saved —Three years ago
a Gloucester lady made her husband pro
mise that lie would give her each day the
five cent pieces he had in his pocket, and
on his birthday, a few days since, she sur
prised him by making him a present of a
handsome gold watch, costing upwards of
SIOO, which she had purchased with the
money thus obtained. It shows how fast
little savings will accumulate.
More Indians —This time it is an
Apache delegation which is visiting in
Washington. The chiefs are Eskeltecela,
Mcqnill, Santo and Pedro. The Patriot
says: “ Uulike other Indians, they come to
us shorn of the war paint and clad in suits
of more modern costume. They are almost
as black as negroes, and with the excep
tion of their long black hair, resemble them
very much.”
The San Francisco Bulletin of the 4th

such as rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, lum

plication for cuts, bruises, burns and scolds.
