Tiie city of magnificent distances then had ju»l three thousand inhabitants. Cons pressmen—splashed and travel stained—forded the Tiber on their way to the Capitol, which was then in c< uiso of construction, the corner stone having been laid six years be fore. Wnat changes were beheld, ill men a.id manners, hy ono who lived twywtfiocarii. ' lie down to the year of yAt past! This was the lot ;of Peggy O’Neill. While l’eggy O’Neill was still a cliilil her father opened a tavern in Washington. It was frequented by young and reckless visitors to the Capital. There were seen the livelier Con-yr ssinen, and the wealthy South erners, wlini affairs or pleasure ! brought to the political centre. Hen ry Clay, in his taster days, frequented O’Neili’s tavern, aud was a fair type of those among whom 1’eggv O’Neill grew up. A fairer bud never ripened into a more perfect blossom. She was as brilliant in intellect as she was eraceiul in movement, and as sparks ling in conversational charms .as she wa? beautiful in person. She was am bitious, aud her childish associations stimulated in tlie young maiden the determination to enter the magic cir cle of that society upon whose thre h- I hold she had stood, gaz'ng tu the glo and marked attention to Mrs. Eaton. General Jackson was in a position to name his successor, and a letter'writ- teh by Daniel Webster, in 1830, to a personal friend says: “Mr. Van Bu- ren has evidently, at this moment, the lead in influence aud importance, lie coutrols all the pages on the back stairs, ami Hatters what at preseat set tus to be the Aaron’s serp.ut among the i’resideul’s desires—a set- tied purpose of making out the lady ot whom so much lias been said, a person of reputation. It is odd enough but too evident to be doubled, that ■ u *-•“ during great political effects, and may very probably determine who will be the successor to the present Chief Magistrate.’’ Maj. Eaton was promoted to the rank of General, and appointed Gov ernor of Florida. Mrs. Eaton en joyed her life iu the Land of Flowers; it was a quiet, refreshing episode. On the expiration of his term of office in Florida, Gen. Eatou was appointed Minister to .Spain, an office which he filled for thirteen years. Of all the periods of her career, probably Mrs. Eaton’s life abroad was the most bril liant. All her life she looked back to it and spoke of it with pride and pleasure, aud in memory still livtd iu her ‘‘Chateau en Espague.’’ She was greatly admired and her social con quests are among the brilliant tradi tions of Madrid. Mrs. Eaton always spoke of her lile abroad as being very pqetslo write tiie most oeauiiful of his poeins. Nmne time after Margaret IrNeill became Mrs. Timberlake she was iu Baltimore, apil there Edward Coato Pinckney saw and admired lmr. Going home he wrote his « Health.” and dedicated it to ” The most hean'.i- fu! woman in America.” Was she selfish, was ambition her dominant trail, was she happy? It is certain that she enjoyed intensely tli" advan- vantages ot official stat’on, ami -lie wa« undoubtedly fond of display.

From the tin his leaving his hnnible home at hors till hfr rise to the highest public personages, Gambetta.. a faithful, loving, devoted; with a faithful, loving, devoted aunt, who (jsd followed him to Paris, and who made, everywhere Ire went, a pleasant ^ome for him. She was at once bis msid-of-all-work and his con genial i companion; and he was as deeply attached to her as she to him. His engagement to a handsome aud accomplished girl, with a dot of seven millions, was a shock to the good aunt;.hot she yielded gracefully to the inavilable. Wlu-n the arrange ments lor the marriage were being discussed, the young lady took it into Iter head to make it a condition ol their union that the aunt should be exclude^ from the new establishment. She was* scarcely elegant enough to adorn gilded saloons. Gambetta ex plained pow much bis auut had been to him; -the rich taauty was only the more obdurate. Gambetta took up h’a hat- apd with* profound 'bow, “Adieu,* tmid he; “we were'not made to understand each other.” And the marriage wa- put off iorever. > ■ Wc mount t« fortune by Several steps—b«n require only uoe step to cotuu down. i r ia a masked ball where ev ery otre hid ee his real character and aeveajs K by hiding.

Eaton, not i reliug very strong at that time, was somewhat reluctant to go. “ I kept on hoping that my dress would not come from Paris,” she said, '‘but it did come, a beautiful pale blue velvet, and it was c ad ' so small that I could only wear it hy the old fashion of fas tening ray corset lace to the Led post | by her infatuation fo and walking away from it,’’ This feat I does not seem to havegi of physical self torture would hardly be worth recording but for the fact that htter in the day, ia consequence of tho light lacing she fainted away and had to leave the dinner table. It was an innovation. No one else had ever been known to faint away’ at a royal dinner paity. The barriers of Spanish etiquette had never been so tar carried away as to allow any one to leaje the table before the Queen rose. “It cannot be done,” said the ladies in waiting, “such a thing was never heard of.’’ But it must, be done,” said General Eaton, “my.wife Ut. ’limy wfifemarrie eW weeks, had three children, and clouded. While Air. Timberlake was at sea. his wife remained at O’Neill’s tavern, where Maj. Eaton, Senator from Tennessee, boarded tor ten years. Mr. Timberlake died in 1828. It was reported that in a fit ol mel ancholy he had committed suicide. Soon after, Maj. Eaton and Airs. Timberlake, whose names had already been coupled by the gossip of the hour, were married. The wife ot Andrew Jauksdn was much attached to Peggy O’Neill and her mother, and Gen. Jacks' n became the faithful and tenacious friend of the blooming beauty. Gen.

Ely, a Philadelphia -clergyman, re monstrated in r letter in which the current charges against the Secretary’s wile were set forth, the President responded in an epistle of formidable length, in which he pronounced the atones vile shmders, and held Henry Clay chiefly responsible for putting them in circulation. Dr. Ely was not wholly convinced, whereupon tho gallant defender of temale innocoi eo sent him ajOteond argumentative let ter. Nq^Content with this, he insti tuted a careful and protracted inves tigation, his own records of which, Air. Parton says, would till an eighty- five |>ago biography. He ended With the conclusion with which he began, that Mrs. Eatou was a much injured woman. The President held to liia opinion that Mrs. Eaton was, to use his own words, “as chaste as a virgin,’’ nnd the Presidential family ceased to attend tile chnrcli of Air. Cumpliell, by whom Dr. Ely had been invited to intervene. President Jackson had an iron will, hut that of the women of W asningion proved squally Stab • 1 A-Tea ..<tftec-se. k- ers catfei Affr^ Eaton, l ot Mn. Calhoun, Mn. Berrien, and even Mrs. Donaldson wife of the Pres- ident’s nephew and private secretary would not do so. The hitter lost his position fur six months on this ac count. Martin Van Buren, Secreta ry oi State, was- a widower without daughters and could therefore afford lo be polite. He called upon Mrs. Eaton and nude parties for her, but he could not compel his colleagues and the foreign Ministers with wives to do the same. Mr. Vaughan, the British Minister, gave a ball at which Mrs. Eaton was present, -llnmst ev ery cotillon which she attempted to join was brok- n up. llcr host con ducted her to the supper table and none uftlie la-lies appeared to know that she was present. .It the Russian Minister’s ball tiie wile of tbe Dutch Minister, sorely against her will was taken to supper by Mij. Eatou. Ou arriving a. iho head she found Mrs. Etluu sitting at the table with an empty chair sitting Inside her intend ed tor the Dutch lady. Tnereupon the high spirited Batavian declined to take sup|>cr, ami left the room, with tier husband. The President was so migtry’at this that be threatened to S rocure the Minister’s recill. At a inner party at tbe While II<>une -ho was placed next to the President but oa returning to tiie drawing room she was out all the same. The Ca -inet was soon after dissolved, largely through tho want of harmony caused hy Mrs. Eaton’s doubtful status. Mr. Vim ISurcn owed his nomina tion, fur President to General Jack-on aud ifeepe’s little doubt tint his strong est claim to the friendship uf General Jackaon was his cordial recognition spoke to the Queen and was granted permission to retire. Once again that eventful day Spanish Court etiqnette was shaken to its founda tions, and this time it was General Eaton, wiio produced that result. As fiey were making the grand tour of the rooms the ermine mantle worn hy the Queen slipped from her shoulders and fell to the floor. There it lay. No one attempted to pick it up. Tin? official whose special prerogative it was to restore the fallen mantle lo tbe Queen’s shoulders seems not to have been on deck, and General Ea ton, with the ready and sensible po liteness of an American gentleman, replacet) it; and reoeived-a gracious acknowledgement of bis courtesy from the Queen. Afterward one of the la dies of the Court told Mrs. Eaton that such an occurrence had never been Mrs. Eaton’s two children, Virginia and Margaret Timberlake, were with her in Madrid, and Virginia’s beauty was a matter of universal remark. “ Kiss the little Americana,” said the Queen to her daughters, when the .'Imerie.iu Minister’s family were ma king their adieux, “ tor nothing so beautiful was ever seen in Spain lies lore; or ever will be again.’’ Isa bella drew back haughtily, but the Id- tauta, with her usual sweetness, kissed her. The “ Little Americana” re turned to Washington, and grew up to be one of the most beautiful wo men ifi America. Sne was a proud, haughty woman. Phillip Barton Key, handsome, dissolute and recks less, was a lover of Iters. Their mar riage the mother opposed on the ground of his dissipation. Several elopements were planned and fras- trnted On one occasion, when Key cabled at the house to see her, her mother sent down word that V irginia was sick and he could not sve her. Flinging the door wide open, he set spurs to his horse and rode up the stairs into the room where she lay sick. He was determined lo carry her away with him, and the girl, in fatuated and recklessly in love, would have gone with him. But at last, the affair was broken off, and alter a bril liant helleship in Washington, Vir ginia Timbeilake married ire Duo de Sampayo, a member of the French le gation ami has been for many years a . _ . ’* pne of her to a son of the $1 was a proud aud dignified woman, and the beauty which aetata to have been a family inheritance iron her a fame throughout this country and Europe. In J350, Gen. Eaton died, and, a secoud time a widow, Mrs. Eaton un dertook the care and oducatiou of her grandchildren. One of tho teachers was a dancing master named Buck iguaui. Buy as he was Mis. Eaton married him. In spile ol a marriage contract which had secured her prop erty to herself, lie finally got it all, personal aud real estate, into his own hands, and eloped with the. grand daughter, Emily Randolph. They went to Europe. Airs. Eaton pri - cured au immediate divorce, and went back to Washington, where she re sided until her death. Tiie poor eld lady speul her last days iu obseuru re- tiremeut, liviug until the alleged this lies of her youth were either forgot ten or remembered oniy in pity, through the sorrows of her later days. • It was a strange eventful history. None deny Mrs. Eaton’s wondrous beauty. There are old men in Wash ington today who recall the soil gray eye, the light chestnut hair, the perfect contour of taro and chiseling of feature, the complexion exquisitely dear and soft, - the form ut mulilusa proportions. President Jsckson- was her inflexible admirer and humble servant. The considers'' ion he showed her put Van Bureu in the \V bite Hou e By her influence her husband became (Jab net,’Minister, General, Governor and Ambassador. Sue in spired tho first of American lyrical riage or her last. Mr. Timberlake was |ioor ; the dancing master was only whtt she made him. The mar riage with Gen. Eaton was entirely happy. “ Hu tvas the kiude>t man and the best husband that ever lived.’’ So Airs. Eaton always spoke of him. Even the misery brought, upon her Bucliignaui „ -ii her a dis 1 taste for life. l -It is a bemtitol world to leave,” she said the day be fore bet death, looking out into tiie sunshine ; “ I am not afraid to die, hut it is such a beautiful worl^.’’ For the rest: i lilt I’rt sii j again I. lie pohcema.i j liin. t in-., No further >eok hsr merits to disclose, ilomnl tv!
