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 i taehe, and an eye-glass stuck iri one 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 ! eling apiiar *ntly| o produce on us the impression that lie was a young nobleman or prince, perhaps in dis guise, seeing for himself how ordina ry mortals fared. What a change had came over him now; the eye COLUMBUS, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. 1875. ! glass hung dangling hither and thith | el*; with the kid gloves, of which lie i had been so dainty, he had grasped tlie dusty facing of the door, und was : straining ids gaze, first backward, until tin* poor mother was no longer to be seen, and then forward to the next station, where pews was to meet ! us, 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! WAMHINUTOW. 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 : Department oe ,F istick, i Washington, D. 0.. Wept. 10. ( 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 { til between 11 and I*2 o’clock last j night, whew tlie. Governor aunt the !

On Saturday night, the 11th inst., ut the engine-house of tlm Gaston Gold Mining Company, which is situated 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 ttio name of Milton Evins; cocked a pistol on another white man named John Worthy, when lie was knocked down by n white man, with a stick., They then dispersed. Sunday morn ing tlie negroes raised a crowd of about twenty-live and waylaid the public road between King’s Moun tain and tlie mine, and came out upon six white men who were passing, but did not dud tlie ones they were look ing for. This morning the crowd of negroes wont into the engine-house again, aud finding a white man by the name of Pat Rainey, beat him badly with clubs. They are now marching, armed, up aud down the public road, between King's Moun tain and the mine, swearing that they will have vengeance to-night; that they moan war. LARUE EIRE IN I.YM'IIHI !. MACHINE SHOPS BURNED. 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 ry and tools. Font ii’iil News In New York.

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 tho -ext. They embrace all branches of science 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 uinbclishuram, no pains have been spared to in sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their •-.%ecutiou is enormous, aud i. i believed they will Aud a welcome .’eruption as un admirable feature of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of itH I high character.

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. Drs. LOVE A WILLSON, sole proprietors in the United Status. Address, LOVE A WIIXMON, Room No. 8, Powell Building, Atlanta, (Is. 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, WILLI Asl CIiENSHAW, Den tint.
