THE FOLLY AND FATE OF THREE. lIEAI Tl
- SISTERS.
Our reatiui's idhy possibly recolleet
the eircumstnnees of a fatal iluel,
widely published ut the time, which
Occurred ou the 3d of April, 1574, on
the old dueling ground on r,he sandy
stretch of shore fronting Buy St.
Louis. The partldimrits were Artolle
Bienvenue, a broker, and Andrea
Phillip*, a lawyer, of New Orleans.
It was on the same spot where the
fatal bullet of Khett, of the Picayune,
•s|M3d to flight tile gallant, spirit of I lie
intrepid Cooley; the ground on wbieh
the rifle shots of Badger and Carter
were exehanged; where Scott and
Campbell met; where many a previ
ous bloody episode had expiated a
real or Imaginary fault
Aside from the fatal termination of
the meeting, the contest between
Phillips and Bienvenue would not
have been unusually remarkable but
for the fact thatit was the fluid scene
in the tragi,* wedded lives of three
women -sisters whose husbands fell
by tiie hands of violence, incited by
tlie evil courses of their wives.
Born of reputable creole parents
these sisters were inheritors of vast
wealth and a stainless name, and dis
tinguished for personal beauty in a
land where the loveliness of women .
was proverbial. Tenderly reared and :
brflnnnUy educated, with possessions
that rivalled in extent and excel toil
in value a German princimnity, it is
not surprising that they ooeaine the
flattered belles of society, and were
the boast and pride of the merchant
and planter beaux in all the wide
coast country. That these brilliant
proteges of the haughtiest aristocra
cy of the Old regime should be des
tined to exercise the fatal influence
they exerted on the men who loved
them and made them tLeir wives, is
indeed surprising But they were
flirts from their era,lies. Born to
admiration, their lives were spent
from youth to maturity in an atmos
phere of ilotilious sentiment ami nu
reul passion. They looked upon men
as merely the ministers of pleasures,
and as the mediums through which
their flattered vanity might grow and
expand, as the flower blooms in the
warmth of the sunshine. All the
aims and duties of life wore bounded
by the ambitions of society. Admi
ration to them was appreciation.
Taught to regard their individual
pTehsnrel aS SopeiiOT to all consider
ations of convenience to others, it is
not surprising that solflishness, in
difference and folly became the main
springs to their actions.
Nor is it astonishing that they ex
ercised tlie fatal influence they did
upon men. Their beauty was glori
ous. The youngest was t he living tyye
of the other two. As the writer saw
her but a little over a year ago, she
rises before his vision now, a tali,
graceful, slender woman, a lithe,
willowy form of splendid contour and
exquisite symmetry. Tlie oval, tin
ted faee glows with health, and is
radient with intelligence. Deep,
slumberous black eyes, unfavorable
In their depths, which a word can
kindle with excitement or make, aglow
with passion; u queenly woman,
regnant in youth, grace, and the em
igre of men’s hearts. The rich coils
of hair, black and intense, wero
wujmfl above the low, broad forehead,
and f<>4wd a raven like crown to the
duikf sjEcndomf the dark Egyptian
face. Men paused to look at. her, and
women signed with envy as she
passed. What she was in lifer youth
ful bridehood has been imperfectly
described; what her sisters were in
their miftured and splendid woman
boo 1 the frftthasiast’s imagination
nfone can picture.
And now for the story of their lives.
The oldest sister was married to Dr.
Hharp, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., a polish
ed, graceful gentleman, whose love
and devotion might have contented
any woman less prone to the allure
ments of society and the admiration
of men. it was in the lirst year of
the war, and the most brilliant socie
ty in the South was gathered at Mo
bile and New Orleans, With an ap
petite whetted to fever heat by a few
mouths’ abstinence from social pleas
ures, she plunged recklessly into a
whirlpool of gaiety. The married
flirt wears no armor of innocence.
Her love of admiration is pitted
against man’s duplicity and cunning.
Nhe staked and lost, From folly there
is hut one step to imprudence; and
that step was taken, despite a hus
band’s jealousy and sense of honor.
The end was inevitable; a challenge
and u duel, and her husband fell,
pierced to the heart by the bullet of
tier seducer. There was no pity for
a woman like this; society repelled
her, ltd friends discarded her, and
she fled to New Orleans to lead the
life of au adventuress.
Tile second,sister shortly afterward
married the son of a distinguished
journalist In Mobile. The fate of her
elder sister was no bar to a career of
similar Xollw, Society received her
with open arms. Wes Ith. influential
cWAlMCtf'oiisfcnd nlnanofttf with a dis
tinguished family obscured for a
time the recollections of a sister’s im
prudence. But gossip soon grew
busy with her name, t roin one folly
to another she |Xic-<*l With fatal Ijnste
and seeming indifference, until In a
fatal hour her husband learned that
the woman he loved, the wife that he
idolized, was a tiling to lie scorned.
It broke his heart. With the down
fall of his idol, bis reason wavered,
THE DAILY TIMES
and lie perished by his own hand.
For all his brilliant talonts, and the
promise of a splendid woman, lie
died tlie victim of a woman’s perndy.
The youuger sister became the wife
of Bienvenue, a young broker of New
Orleuus. Rich, beautiful and accom
plished, she was at onco a leader in
society. Gourtod, fluttered and ca
ressed, she plunged headlong into
the vortex. Men lavished praises on
her women hated and smiled upon
her. What cared she 1 Beautiful,
reckless, heat Hess, und indilTerent to
all alike, she cured only for that so
cial admiration whioli was the sun
shine of her life. Her large fortune
gave her an income in her individual
right. This gave wings to her ex
travagance, aud enabled her to con
tract, bills in her own name. One of
them a milliner’sbill became over
due, suit was brought and execution
issued, which Mr. Phillips, the law
yer, had levied for satisfaction upon
her carriage and horses. In an inter
view subsequently had with tlie lady
regarding tlie settlement of tlie bill,
words which she construed into an
insult were charged upon the attor
ney. Her husband resented it a
challenge ensued and then the fatal
duel on that sad April morning, when
a husband's lift' ebbed away its pur
ple tide upon the lonely beach, the
lost unhappy victim of tlie fated sis
tors’ folly and extravagance.
.1 THKII.I.IM- ADVENT! IIE.
A YOU SO MOTHER LOSES HEII CHILD
THROUGH THE WINDOW OF A RAILWAY
CAR.
A correspondent of the Boston Ail
va tiler, travelling iu Germany, nar
rates this thrilling incident:
It was a third-class carriage. She
was a pleasant-faced young woman,
going, I think, for the first time after
her marriage, to visit her parents at
her old home, to show them their t wo
line grandchildren. At least, this
was the little history I built up fat
her in ray own brain from a word
or two that 1 heard between her and
her young husband at the station, us
he put her into tlie carriage with an
affectionate farewell. I always watch
with great interest the farewells and
greetings of my fellow-t ravellers, and
have a fashion of thinking out for
myself the whole story of their pre
vious lives from the little hints that.
I get in this way. It is to me as if 1
were permitted to open the second
volume of an interesting romance,
and allowed to read only one short
scene in this and asked to guess us
nearly as possible from this one
scene the previous course of tlie story
und the character of the actors in it.
The youngest child was an infant
of about three or four months old,
very quiet and good : tlie other was a
pretty, restless littlt'girl of three,who
could not be still a single moment,
and kept the careful mother busy by
her, questions and wants and child-.
ish prattle. She was not at all basil*
fill, and soon talked to us also iu such
a natural, coquettish, condescending
way that we were quite in love witli
the' charming little lassie, and begged
her mother not to check her innocent
advances to us.
When we had been travelling to
gether for two <u* three hours, mid
Began to feel quit' like old acquain
tances, while the train was going nt
full speed, lie* mother half roso from
her seat to place the little girl, who
had loft her place, again on the op
posite seat. How it upponed 1 never
understood; it was one of llieso acci
dents which seem impossible, and in
fact only happens once in a hundred
thousand times; but.just as she stood
half erect, holding lid* sleeping babe
upon one arm und her little frolic
some maiden somewhat awkwardly
on the other, the little girl made one
of her sudden quick movements and
in an instant she was gone from our
eyes.
What a niomeu* 1 The poor mother
stood fixed and rigid in exactly the
same attitude, tier arm still hunt as
though around her child, gazing with
wide-open, fixed eyes at the place
whence she vanished. Bhe seemed
literally suddenly turned to stone.
| How long this lasted I do not know,
| doubtless it seemed to us much lon
ger than it really was. Then the
young mother seemed to come to her
self, aud made a sudden movement
as if she would spring through tlie
window after her vanished darling,
now far away. I caught her quickly
fas Land held her, while the kind
lady who sat opposite to me took tlie
babe from tier arms, and we all be
gan to talk together; no one listened
to the other, about what was to he
done for her, somehow we managed
I in our excitement to do all that was
possible; the guard came, the train
was stopped, and the mother, with
out speaking to oue of us, or even
looking at us, left the train, support
ing herself on one unit of the.sympa
thizing guard, while he held the still
sleeping babv fast in the other.
Of course the train must go within
'creased speed to make up for the mo
ment of delay, there was no chance
for us to see more of the poor bereav
ed mother. Telegraph to us at the
next station,” said ora* of tlw railroad
; functionaries to tin* guard. ‘ Yes,
i yes, be sure to do it immediately,”
cried a dozen voices; for in some
mysterious way the news of the acci
dent had run through the train as if
by electricity, and a long row of
sympathizing Bices watched from the
carriage the disappearing forms of
the motile;* aud t he guard.
“It will take her half an hour to
reach the spot, an I it is just 35 min
utes now to the next station,” said
the stout gentle nitu in the corner,
taking out his watch and bidding it
open in his hand, his eye fixed
upon it. He had st ruck me as one of
the mOStsellLsh and disagreeable old
gentlemen possible ; scarcely answer
ing a polite question from a neigh
bor, and then in the shortest anil
gruffest manner possible; he hud
seemed completely absorbed b> Ids
newspaper and his snuff-box, pot
having noticed the little fairy in any
way except to glance ut her now and
then with a savage expression as
her clear, childish laugh had disturb
ed his reading. Now his whole soul
seemed to be fixed on the watch be
fore him, and lie “chided the tardy
flight of time” again and again in
words more forcible tiiau ornamen
tal,
I There was a young would-be dandy
i in one corner; light straw-colored
i gloves, a slender cane, an infant mus

eye, seemed to be, In his opinion,
tokens of vast superiority over the
! other travellers, and he spoke very
little, except occasionally to make
some supercilious remark or ask
i some question about third-class trav

Now, at last, wo are there; the
■ train halts, and one of the guards
runs quickly into the little office over
which “Telegraph” is painted.
Everybody who can possibly get his
or her head out of the window on that
side thrusts it out. There Is a mo
ment, of intense suspense; hereooinos
the guard again, with a dispatch In
liis bawl; lie stands ul>out midway
between the ends of tlie train, ami
begins to read it out in his clear, loud
official tones: “Child perfectly
sound, alighted on a pile of straw in
a field, not two feet from a stone
wall.”
Then what a scene: Every man at
the train windows has his hat off in a
moment, and is waving it aud cheer
ing as it lie would split his threat ;
every* woman is buried in her pocket
handkerchief, crying and laughing
together. Tlie stout old egotist and
the vain young dandy have thrown
their arms around oaolt other, and
are embracing yvith that heartiness
that belongs to the sous of the Vntor
lund, although they never mot before
this morning. The stiff old maid In
the corner lias shaked my hands in
lootL hers so many times that I feel
they are quite sore.
All the inhabitants of the littlo vil
lage come running around the train.
“What, is it? Where is he? Is it the
Kaiser himself, or is it the Kron
I’iinz?” they ask, in bewildered ex
citement at the sight of ours.
But all the Kaisers and Kron Primes
iu Europe put together could not have
aroused the flood of fooling that
surged through that train. It was
sympathy with a sentiment far older
than loyalty-older than the kings
to whom! loyalty is due- which ivas
stirring every heart; it was sympathy
with a mother’s love!

Washington, September 13. With
in tlie past two days a number of tel
egrams have been received by tlie
Attorney-General from people of both
political parties in Mississippi, sta
ting that it was noyv substantially
quiet in the recently disturbed por
tions of tlie State, but for greater cau
tion the Attorney-General tele
graphed on the 10th inst. in response
to a dispatch from Gov. Ames, ask
ing for Federal interference, 1 lie fol
lowing :

To Gov. Amen, Jackson, Minn.: Uni
ted States forces have been put in
readiness. No orders have yet been
given for thorn to move, and no proc
lamation lias been issued. Every
thing is ready. Is there such an in
surrection against the State govern
ment as cannot tie put down by the
State military forces, aided by all tlie
other powers of tlie State government
and the aid of true citizens ?
[Signed] Edward Pierrepont,
Attorney-General.
This was telegraphed early on the
morning of the 10th inst., but no re
sponse was received thereto from any
source unlit, yesterday, when a tele
gram was received by tlie Attorney-
General from ex-Senator Pease, now
Postmaster at, Jackson, saying the
excitement had subsided. A civil
force, composed of good citizens of
all political parties, aud of sufficient
force to protect life and property,
can be had in any county in the
State. No effort lias yet been made
by tlie State authorities in this direc
tion. Until nil legal means have
been exhausted, I am of the opinion
that Federal interference is unwise,
unpolitic and will only aggravate the
evils.
Senator Alcorn, of Mississippi, was
present when this telegram was re
ceived by the Attorney General and
confirmed its statements. On the
lltli the Attorney General again tele
graphed to Gov. Ames us follows;
“In my dispatch of yesterday fore
noon, in which I mentioned that,
troops were held in readiness, I asked
whether tlie situation of the insurrec
tion was such against the State au
thorities, that the State Government,
with the aid of the loyal citizens,
could not put it down? I have no re
ply to this.” No response came un

On Saturday night, the 11th inst., ut

two aud a half miles oast ol’ the vil
lage of King’s Mountain, a crowd of
white and black minors were engaged
in gambling, und some dispute hav
ing arisen about money, a negro
named Aleck Britton jerked off his
coat, drew n kuife, and swore tie was
not afraid of any white man living,
and knocked down a white man by

pistol on another white man named
John Worthy, when lie was knocked
down by n white man, with a stick.,

about twenty-live and waylaid the
public road between King’s Moun

six white men who were passing, but

Lyni'Hhuuu, Va., Kept. 12.— This
morning at 2:30 the fire alarm was
sounded, and it was soon discovered
that the machine shops of the Atlan
tic, Mississippi & Ohio Railroad were
afire. The different flic companies
quickly responded und worked brave
ly, but the shops could not be saved ;
all that could possibly ho done was
to prevent the destruction of the
adjoining buildings. The conflagra
tion eould be seen for a great dis
tance, and showers of large sparks
were carried several blocks by a
strong northerly wind. By heroic
efforts tho round-house, containing
quite a number of engines, and which
was immediately next to the building
shop, was saved. The loss is very
heavy on account of tho total de
struction of much valuable machine

United Staten, ami the signal developments which

AM MIL AN CYOLOP£CD.A.
Within the hint ton years tho progress of dis
covery iu every department of knowledge has
made anew work of reference un imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs Ims kept pace
with the discoveries of science, und their lruitfu
application to the industrial und useful arts and
the convenience aud refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the lust volume ot
the old work appeared, liuh happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial and industrial
activity hus been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographic*! knowl
edge have been made by the IndelHtigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view u multitude of new
men, whose names are iu every one’s mouth, and
of whoso lives every one is curious to know the
particulars, (treat battles have been fought aud
important sieges maintained, ol which the de
tails are as yet preserved only iu the newspapers
or iu the transient publications of the day, hut
wbieh ought now to take their place iu perma
nent and authentic hiHtory.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it hus accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down tin* information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of
the most recent discoveries In science, of every
fresh production iu literature, and of tho newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well us to give
a succinct and original record of the progress, of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, hut every page has been printed on
new type, forming iu fact anew Cyclopedia, with
the same plan and compass us its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements iu its composition
as have been nUggustod by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The Illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the present edition Lave been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but -o give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations iu

and of natural history, and depict the most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture ami art, as well an the various pro
cessus of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If oue grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from th 0
cow's udder aud kept dry ior years, then moia .
tened, aud the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
in it and drawn gently on the arm, so as not to
draw the blood, will so impregnate and change
the entire system as to prevent the party vac
cinated from taking the most loathsome dia
eases (small pox) for an entire life; again, if the
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphere the poison malaria, why will not the
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize aud
destroy tho poison, known as malaria, and thns
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We cltim that there is such a remedy, and that
we have prepared it. aud applied it, and proved
it in our Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt—and
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
the worst malarial districts without the fear of
having any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills ami Fever, Billions or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver aud
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, and tha' it will cure all the above dis
eases, except tlie worst cases of Billions and Yel
low Fever.
Thin is railed au Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, ns it corrects tho humors of tbf oody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem. ami thus enabling it to per oriu its various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria iu
the least.
It has been tried iu thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can be obtained from the proprietors in
any quantity at the Powell Building, junction of
Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price for a single Belt $3, or $9 with a guaran
tee that it will cure or tho money refunded.
N. B.—None genuine without the trade mark
is Htamped upon them.

A liberal discount made to the trade.
Caution.—This Belt or I'ad, like all articles of
merit, ih being imitated by parties who ary try
ing to put up a worthless article, as there is not
a living person, besides ourselves, that knows
the iugredieutß iu it. Wo are the patentees, aud
have our Belt protected by a Trade Mark.
Bure Cure.—ln another column will be found
two remarkable certificates about the efficacy of
Drs. Willson k Love's Malarial Belts. The diffi
culty iu the way of using these belts is that they
are so simple that few can believe that there is
any virtue iu them. When a patient is told to
use one he is very much like Naamau when told
that, to cure bis leprosy, he had only to bathe in
the river Jordan. Hon, John E. Ward says that
during his stay iu China, as Minister, these belts
were used with great uh preventives of
cholera. We know a case where a lady had been
suffering with chills for more thau a year, and
was Dually induced to adopt oue of these belts.
She lias not had a return of the chills since, ami
she is fully persuaded that it is owing to the belt.
Dr. Willson’s terms are very fair—no cure, no
pay.
Jt^r ßead the following certificates:
Atlanta, Oa., June 6, 1875.
Messrs. Love & Willson: Gentlemen—ln Apri
laHt I was taken sick with regular Fever aud
Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had
run on me for two weeks, I was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial btdts; so I discarded all
medicine, aud simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe
tite aud clear skin; and in future, if I should ever
have a Chill or Ague, I would wan t ose of your Pads,
and un physic. Wishing everybody that may be
so unfortunate as to have Chills aud Fever may
be fortunate enough to get oue of your Belts,
I am, respectfully, etc.,
W. J. Wilson.
Atlanta, Ga., June 3,1875
Dbh. Love k Willson :
On the first day of December last I was taken
with Chills aud Fever in Thomasville. Southwes
tern Ga., and wus treated for the same by three
eminent physicians who were able to stop it only
for a few days at a time. It made such iuroads
on my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be in the first stages of consumption,
wh eu I accidentally met up with Drs. Love k Will
son's Anti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured
me. 1 have had but one chill since, aud that was
the first day after putting it on. lam now in as
good lnalth as 1 ever was iu my liie, and think
this Belt a God-scud to the afflicted.
J. M. Mathews.
Cannon House, Atlanta, Ga., June 4,1875.
Some nine years ago I contracted malaria in
Savannah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at
times, ever siuce, until I met up with Drs. Love k
Willson’s Anti-malarial Belt some three months
ago. 1 have worn it continually, and have had no
chill since, uml find my general health, which
has been poor, much improved. I would recom
mend it to others suffering with malaria.
B. A. Wallace.
Macon, Ga., June 4, 1876.
Friend Hodgson: 1 received your letter of the
26th ult., on yesterday, I have been off on a fish
ing excursion and just returned.
Thu peoplo of this town don’t chill worth acent
yet. 1 have sold two of the pads, and that I did
tho very hour I first received them, one to one of
our conductors, aud to Mr. Vaughn, a Clerk iu
the office. They both say thut they tried yuinine
and other remedies, ami tlmt they failed till they
put on the pad; siuce then they have had uomore
Chills or Fever, und they recommend them to ev
erybody. * * * ♦ ** Alex. Mathews,
Tho above pads wero sent for us by Dr. Hodg
son, who is addressed as above.
Aiidkville C. H., S. C., July 16.
Drs. Love k Willson, Atlanta, Ga:—Gentle
men—l have been a sufferer from ebills and fever
for (19) nineteen years, aud have used all of the
popular remedies, but only had temporary relief
until about three mouths siuce, I was induced, by
your agent. Captain W. It. White, to wear oneoi
your ' Anti-Marial Beltf 1 have not had a chill
since putting it on. it has enabled uie to look
alter my farming interest more closely, and ex
pose myself to rain and suushino inure than for
nineteen years. It has been worth to nif, in
feelings and absolute results, not less thau five
hundred dollars.
I cheerfully recommend it to all “shakers.'’
Respectfully, etc.,
JAMES McC&ABY.
Atlanta, Ga., August 7th, 1875.
j Dbh. Love k Willson:—Dear Sirs—l have been
j having chills, caused lrom living iu a mularious
! district, for seven years. During that time I
1 have taken ounce* of guiuiuc, with which I have
usually chocked them for a while, but they have
invariably returned as soon as I would leave off
tin use. of the medicine. Having taken Arse
nic and Strichnine, uml nearly every chill
remedy I ever heard of. I procured, a mouth
since, one of your "Anti-Malarial Belt#," which I
have worn, and during this time I have had only
oue chill, which was brought on by being exposed
to night air und getting wet. It has done mu
more good than ail the internal remedies put to
gether which 1 havotaken in the pastsuveu years.
I am very gratefully and respectfully yours,
