THE BAIt-M Mil’s FATE.
BY WII.UAM COMSTOCK.
That doming events cost their shadow*
before i apparent enough when ou<> re
colteet* that the East. River lm* been grow
ing mme and wore narrow lor the last
hundred years. When Litidley Murray
jumped herons Pecji slip, it, crime up ns far
im the southern limb of Pearl street, That
was in the time of tire Involution. I re
member well when James slip crime up as
far as Water Street, and, at low lido, the
black mud, rijm with drowned kittens arid
pitpjfie*, furnished Bn undesirable nosegay (
for the provision stores which lined tire
-wharf fr om Front to Water street
From James slip down, tiro water rime
lip to Front street until it reached Dover,
where Month street commenced, and ran
ea fur as Feck slip, ttm latter owning up
to Front street. Between Dover street
aud Peek slip lay the Liverpool pockets,
lui steamships being in existence at that
period.
.fust above Dover street rrf the wharves
-which bordered on Front street, lay the
Nantucket packets, such us tie- sloops Pa
triot, Omega, Comet, ltoae, Enterprise,
the schooner Lander, and the little brig
h ,gle.
Near tiiiw apot, hut nn flic opposite side
of Fiont street, stood a small red brick
hortse, with a swinging sign, on which lmd
been painted in tins olden time a strange,
red animal resembling a horse, w ith large,
bit like wings. At any rate this establish
meet was styled ‘‘The lied Horse Taven,"
and tiero it was that (toasters ami men em
ployed about the wharves cuuio to slake
their thirst.
A voting girl, with very red hair and
hirgf\ bine, liin|hing eyes, waited on eus
tomers at the lair, and no one thought of
laughing at her red hair, ns the extreme
Inanity of her features and herlorm atoned
for alt dcftcienoes, should any one be so
fastidious as to red hair as a. deficiency.
For my part X can nay of it as De.mffn
til ant said of liver, “I admire it.”
This fact was soon evident to Fanny
Wakefield, who, while answering such de
mands as “Three of mm hot, with a lump
of sugar," “Two twos of Old Tom, please,
Jliisa, ' “Pot of six ale, please,” from per
son* of all oountries and conditions who
flocked to the lied Horse, found time to
Hive an occasional glance over her shoul
der, and to lot me know, liy a faint smile,
end ou important occasions by a wink,,
tluit I was not quite forgotten.
Hut, It was on Monday afternoon that T
was favored nbove all other nun, “quite in
tho verge of heaven,” for it was tljen that
X had Fanny all to myself, and, With liv
ing streamers and straw Hat, be went with
mo wheresoever I listed, except when I
’listed for the war in 1812. Hue did not
go with me then, bnt she was ready to re
ceive me when I came back in the full
flush of her womanly charms, and just
nineteen years of age.
As I hail a few thousand dollars at my
disposal, £ proposed tho purchase of a
farm. She went into raptures; but I had
my doubts. Mho had been uncustomed to
much society, to the sight of tho water
aml the shipping and had watched the
shiploads of emigrants trudging up the
wharf in their strange attire. Could it ho
possible that she would like the quiet, tho
loneliness of a country life ? Mho replied
“Ifos,” and surely she ought to know
n tewr ‘ncfvs bn Long Island,
Brooklyn was a small town then, and
thevo was no Willianislmrgh worth men
tioning. Wo oruMod the East River in u
horse-bout—the Yiorso went round and
round, in a cider-mill, and that turned
the paddle-wheels and kept, tho boat in
motion.
1 was not a little surprised to discover
that I’aiftiy really enjoyed a country life,
and was well satisfied to livo with mo as
her only coiupaniou,
Mins loved her homo nml gavo evidence
that she was sincerely devoted to her hus
band. Of what, then, could 1 find fault ?
Perhaps that, I should have found no fault
at all had 1 duly reflected that all human
being.! have faults,, and that perfection is
not to tie found on this side tho grave.
.But 1 did not take that view of tho sub
ject, and, therefore, when Fanny evinced
a desire that I should drive ahead ami
make mouoy —when she seemed dissatis
fied with my occasional days of rest or
recreation, it struck me that sho was want
ing in tenderness and that she was disposed
to make nw a slave; and that idea was par
ticularly disngreealdo to mo when I re
membered that, sho outno to me without
the tot red emit, and that all we had in
the world camo through mo, and wna the
product of my toil and judgment. 1
should never have thought of that, how
ever, if she Inal nut annoyed iuo in the
manner I have monthmed.
At first I simply reasoned with F’auny,
ami endeavored to convince li. r that all
work aul no play nun la Jack a did! boy.
That or some other plea would satisfy
Fanny for the time, or, at least, it woiilt’l
sill-lieu her; and then, perhaps, an hour
afterward, when I took down my fishing
rod, or brought out my best pair of hoots,
or began to brush iny dross emit, she
would pul ou that same lowering ooun
teiiauue ami do lior work by jerks that de
noted iiupsUenee and dissatisfaction.
“Why don’t you spoak out, mv dear ? '
said I, on one of those occasions. “1
would rather know just what yon think
than to see you fret and flout in that man
ner. ”
“You would rather,” replied she; “O,
yes. uiy lord and iu.atr. no doubt ev
eiything should be as you would rather.
1 know you would rather bo shooting, or
boating, or fishing, or going to some
pisguey horse race than to stay at home
and work like me. ”
“But, Fanny, my work is nil done at
present. Why should I hung around the
bouse doing mllotus ? You thoaght tin)*®
flounders were goiil which I brought
home hist week.”
By this time Fauny’a pas don become
heated, and she made an observation
which she u n,t have known would give
me groat oCeii.-w. It ndated to an nnitn-
Aw passage iu iuy i.imily history. At the
moment 1 was blacking my booth on flic
lir<*s(J ytjehon hearth, nifhsn we had in ;
the ohTcii time. ‘ Nekr me whs n flat-inn’!
Determined to show Fanny that 1 wn* j
seriouoly offended and to frighten her at J
Ihe snms time, 1 cvrigid up the Mt-iron I
and hurled it ptrllv in l*r direction as if j
f had really ruined it nt her Bear}, but 1
taking care that, it should stnko tlje Wall j
about six foot from her. ;
AU would have been us 1 intended had
not Fanny movtd quickly to one side at j
the moment.
Ah the heavy missile left my hand, I
perceived that it must come in contact
with Fanny’s head. My blood ran Cold; 1
sprang forward, but iu vain; the point of
the flat-iron struck the poor girl pn the
left temple, and she dropped heavily to tilt’
floor.
The only thought that oppressed me
when I Ami Fstiny fhlt was the lossjwhioli
I Imd sustained, for 1 felt certain tbit my
wife WHS dead. i
Then came thn grief of her relatives,
and Ikosy ui|itlry wUioit svprjr pug would
feel for me in my Is'VoaveTm’Vit The
stunning effect of my lons left no room
for any other eousideratiop; and tbtis half
an hour elapsed before the fact began to
■lawn upon tnv ootnprehension that rela
tives and Meigiilxirs might possibly ques
tion my right to throw flat irons at my
wife, and that instead of sympathy I :
might meet with censure; and, filially, 1
recollected Unit men bad got into trouble |
by knocking out the bruin* of their wives, i
Thus then it stood that, while I felt my
self to tie the most unfortunate and the
most bereaved of men, I expected to be
regarded na the most guilty of mortal*.
1 eifpectefl to lie arrested and tried for an
act wliieli no one regretted Imlf so much i
os myself, and to be punished for sending I
a person out of existence whose death was j
a greater loss and a greater grief tomej
than to all the li st, of the world put to- i
gather !
Vet, if I could have been struck dead on
the spot, killed as l bad killed Funny, 1
should have esteemed it a great mercy.
But, to be arrested, dragged to prison,
consigned to a dungeon, execrated and
criticised in tho newspapers, taken to
court mid put in the prisoner’s box to be
stared and jeered lit. by every loafer in
town, tried, condemned, and Anally exe
cuted on a gibbet, all that was worse than
a dozen such deaths ns Fanny had died.
Therefore, I began to think that, I lmd
trio long delayed taking proper measures
for my own safety.
In the first place, after having tried in
vain to resnucitato the body of Fanny, 1
dragged it into a pantry near tho door of
which she Imd fallen;and, just then, Ame
lia, the kitchen maid, came in, haring re
turned from mi errand, I went straight to
the pantry door. Iter Imnd was already
niiou the hitch when I caught liohl of her
dress behind, and told her to stop.
She looked up surprised. “J have set a
trap," said TANARUS, in a whisper;' “we’ll lmve a
rut euugUt in a moment. Don’t go in
now, or you’ll frighten him away. He
was just coming out of his hole when I
looked in, just now." “laird, sir ! rats I"
cried she; “how you frighten one I If
I’d known there was rats in the house—
well, I deelaro!”
Boon afterwards 1 locked tho pantry
door mid wrote a letter which 1 carried to
tho past-office. It wan directed to my sis
ter .Sophia, in the city, begging her to
come to my house, and to be sure not to
arrive till after dark.
1 kept, Urn pantry locked nil that after
noon, which made Amelia declare that the
rate gave “more trouble than they were
worth." in the night, when everyone
was asleep. I put the body of my wife
down cellar, and burled it about two feet
deep under ground, In the morning, the
pantry was once mwe at the ser rice of
Amelia, who was given to understand that
my wife was confined to her room by a
violent headache; nnd a great, pity too, I
added, aa her sister was down with the
influenza, and lmd sent for her.
Bophia arrived in tho evening, when V
took lior immediately into my wififs room
and revealed to her what had happened,
her horror and distress were extreme,
but she entirely cxonlpated me from the
charge of willful murder, and undertook
to secure mo from the etfoets of my rash
ness, by personating my wife. Accord
ingly, dressed iu a suit of my wife’s
clothed, and concealing her face from Arae
lin, she went, sway with me in a chaise
early in the morning. Every ope who j
saw ns mistook her for my wife, and it
was understood that we had gone to see
ray wife’s sister, who was very siok with
tho influenza. It may be as as well to
say iu this place that my wife never had
a sister.
Although this story answered u temper *
ary purpose, yet it. would not hold good
for a very long timu, as Fannin’s father
was expected to pay us a visit in the fall;
lie would certainly open luh eyes when
lie heard of my wife’s sister. It wna then
mi firmer. and t might expect a visit from
tho landlord of the lted House in about
three months.
I determined to consult Sophia on the
subject,. I went to the city, and did so.
She advised that I should absent myself
at tho time when Mr. Wakefield was ex
pected, while she, keeping house for mo
in my absence. Would toll the visitor that
his daughter and her husband lmd gone
on a tour to Niagara F’alls and tho lakes.
For want of a better plan, that one was
adopted. Inquiries after my wife and her
invalid sister poured in from alt quarters.
I was astonished to discover what a hold
my poor Fanny had upon tho affection of
our neighbors.
About tho middle of October, when
Wakefield was expected to pay his annual
visit. Hop!on caino up from tlio city and
stalled herself in the farm-house. I took
my departure. I lmd net been gone a
Meek before Mr. Wakefield drove up to
the door, snapping his whip like a Jehu of
the old school.
My sister Mophiareceived the old gentle
man cordially; but ho had scarcely seated
himself in “tho best room" before ho
made inquiries about F’anny.
“Mho and her husband are at Niagara
Falls hy this time,”returned Sophia.
“Niagara Falls!” repeated Wakefield,
knitting liis brows and fixing bis guno on
Sophia's countenance.
“I’shaw! tell that to the marines; you
don't catch old birds with clmff. My girl
is down cellar, ! think!”
“Mv Clod! who told you that, Mr.
Wakefield ?" exclaimed Sophia, tolling to
the ground in a dead faint.
Wakefield was astonished beyond mens
me, but he eelllll do lie less than attend to
the nee- ,-vtioN of Sophia. She recovered
after a time, and perceiving by Wakefield’s
remarks tluit lie had suspected nothing,!
and that she had been needlessly alarmed,
she tried to turn off the matter by saying ;
that she was onee very much frightened in
a cellar, and that at times, any allusion to
that part of the house threw her into vio
lent hysterics.
Hut Sophia was too late. Her exclama
tion told too much, and Wakefield, sus
pecting that something was wrong, made
ioqnireis of \matin and the neighbors,and
they ascertained tho fact that Farniy hud
not been in the house for sen ml mouths, j
My sister perceived that she luid made a !
great blunder. Mr Wakefield had only
suspected that Sophia w.is playing off a:
joke upon him, and he *usp- cted that
Fanny w.u down in tins efllnr, because ho
had seen the face of Amelia nt the cellar
window, *he oMn.i into the front yard,
and he had mjtluk* n it lor the face of
Fanny.
Hut, now, having learned from Amelia
and the neighbors that Funny bad not
been seen iu that neighborhood for a long
time, lie remembered (Sophia * alarm on
his mentioning tho cellur, and her anguish
ed cry: “My God! who told you that, Mr.
Wakefield?"
Mopliia was quick to perceive all this,
and she wortejne a letter aud dropped it
in the nost offlee of neighboring village.
When I received that letter, I saw that
there was no time to lose. I bought a
sailor’s dress, and hurrying to Boston—
where X was not known —I shipped for a
foreign port, as a common sailor. In
Liverpool, saw the New York Mercantile
Advertiser, in which there whs a long ac
count of the finding of Fanny’s remain*
in the cpltnr;(together with an account of
BOpliinii arrest and examination tiy the
coroner. (She gave a full and true account
of Fanny’s death, and it appears tlmt her
story was generally credited; but these,
eveutfl jaded the mind of my poor sister
too flinch, that she died of a lingering dis
ease before my return from abroad.
1 never heard that much search was
made after me, and, indeed, my punish
went lui* low'll quite sufficient even if I
had voluntarily killed poor Funny. — N. Y.

BUD.
The dream that afflicted the wretched
Clarence, after dne allowance is made for
(Hieticexaggeration, probably gives a fair,
though sombre representation of what was
till lately supposed to be tho ooudition of
the ocoau lid. It were easy to show
yb abundant quotation* that the
sounding seas were supposed to
wash beneath their surface the. bones of
unnumbered hapless mariners and that the
highway of nations was believed to be
(Hived with the relies of disaster. To this
picture there was afterward added a yet
more weird feature. The notion, derived
from experiments on the compressibility
of air, gained acceptance that water at
great depths was rendered so dense by
pressure tlmt, nothing could sink to bot
tom iu the ocean. According to this
theory, each substance would descend only
to a certain point, determined in each ease
by it* specific gravity Tims, while the
victims of a shipwreck might rest ntu few
hundred feet below tlio surface, tho hea
vier article of the cargo would remain at
various distances below them,' but in tlie
greatest depths even the anchor itself
would never resell tho ocean floor. And
thus the eeu became a mausoleum more
strangely occupied than that in which
Mohammed's coffin hung suspended, mid
water being substituted for mid-air.
Each of these conceptions is exactly the
reverse of fact. Water is not compressi
ble, and does not at any known depth
hold heavy substances suspended in it.
Belies of humanity of any soft Whatever
are mnoyg the very, rarest of curiosities
obtained in ni’op aeu dredging. Prof. E.
B. Morse, in the course of a discussion on
the evolution theory, has cited two good
illustrations in proof of the latter state
ment. When the Lake of Haarlem was
drained, on wiling; surface the commerce
of ten centuries lmd floated and several
naval battles taken place, no trace of man
or his works was lonnd in tho land ro
de med from tho ocean. In tho course of
twelve, years dredging* off the coast of
New England, in tho track where failing
vessels constantly plied, one iron spike was
the■ sole evidenoo of man's existence
brought up from the bottom. The writer
of tins article lmd, however, tho Ki'rk to
be present on tho occasion of one of the
rare exceptions to this general rule. In a
dredging cruiso of tho Mite Light, last
summer, in Cakuo Bay, the thrawl brought
,'ip, along withanemones,star-fish, skates,
fiGuMulpith* s sho| of modem manufac
ture, and only remarkable, if at all, ns to
its size. What seemed a still more singu
lar coincidence won the next haul of the
trawl brought up the mate of this big shoe.
Xlqi pair were iu a very dilapidated condi
tion, as shoes, but they tuck high rank as
cnrWiitiea.' The oeouronee was so unusu
al that it ha* been suggested that per
haps there was legerdemain about it
—that it was a neatly contrived hoax. To
this the only reply mast be that "seeing
is believing.” No one who Raw the shoe
taken out of the midst of Ihe trawl pocket
was troubled with the. doubt that harrassed
King George about the npplednmpling.

TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF

Atlanta, July 1, 1874.
You are soon to eugage iu uuother elec
tion for the control of your State. Your
former victories should not make yon
vain-confident to success. Tho opposi
tion are organized for the conflict. Are
your forces ready for the field ? Is there
union aud harmony in your ranks ? Un
ion is success; division is defeat. Select
good men, able men, to lead you, and
give them a united, hearty, cordial sup
port Be not divided by local issues—be
ware of jealousies arising from '‘claim*
overlooked,” “stocked conventions" aud
persotiul prejudices. These are weapons
famished by a skillful enemy to break
your ranks and defeat your cause. Look
with distrust upon “people’s tiekols, “citi
zens’ candidates,’’ when brought forward
in opposition to your regular uoniiueea.
They are subterfuges generally of disap
pointed aspirants, who are used by the
Opposition to defeat your organization.
We cannot afford to destroy or weaken
the Democratic party. It has rescued the
•State from lladieal misrule; it has broken
tlm alliance that existed between power
aud crime; it has cheeked the system of
public plunder which was driving our peo
ple to bankruptcy and ruin; it lias res
tored the control of the government to the
virtue and intelligence of the State; it
Inis given Georgia a position in the Union
beyond tbut ol her unfortunate sisters of
of the South. Will you, relying upon
your majority, grow listless uml uncon- 1
corned V Ucmember bleeding Mouth Car
olina. Will you split into petty jealousies
and endanger your success ? Think of
down-trodden Eoiiisinnn. Will you, by a
thirst for position and place distract and
[divide your forces? Look at plundered
I Florida, and determine, tlmt in this eon
| test, patriotism shall guide yonr actions,
i and love of State control your aspiration*
! and yonr hopes.
Your defeat is lladieal rule, and Radical
rale is oppression, civil rights hills, plun
der, bankruptcy aud social degradation.
■ Your success gives assurance of eonstitu
i tioual government, enforcement of law,
and maintenance of right, Tho cause is
i worthy of yonr e fforts it* success should
i he the day-star of yonr ambition, iudivid
-1 mil responsibility is essential to a fnvorn

| campaign be quick, sharp decisive. Look
i well to yonr nominating conventions. Bee <
ito it that none but men of integrity are I
offered to the people for their support
' men who will spurn tberingsthat would!
; raid upon yonr treasury men who will j
i look only to Georgia’s interest and honor, j
'■ and with such men to hear yonr standards
yon will command a victory. In the Fed

Indifference, before, gave Georgia men iu
