In the county jail of Herkimer, Stale (if Now York, Moiu'.ay.t licit! wns hung hy tlio neck until dead n woman who a few years ago killed her husband. The. name of the woman vn ltoxhlana Druse, ncu 1'oxa Tcfft, and her life's history Is one cotniiteto Cook of sorrow. Left nil orphan at an early brc, she was thrown out upon tho cruel world without Mends or home; for a few years she worked In a factory, barely jniklne a subsistence, when she found a home with an njjed couple upon a farm in a country district where she first met her luub.inj. Wllli.im Druse. From the time she east her lot with htm "for better or for worse'1 her life was made n hell of raging hate ami brutality; she became his slave, and from n bright-eyed country lass with rosy cheeks she soon became a broken hearted, sad, depressed woman. Three children were born to litem, but Instead of binding together by the tics of affection and loye the hearts of man and wife It only intensified the btutalllles to which he sub jected her. On one occasion when he lost a valuable cow he beat her so that for weeks she could not leave her bed, at an other llmo he beat her over the head with a piece of cord wood and so on he Inflicted brutality after btutallty until her life be came a burden, "a vacant dicain fioni filch nil the glory of the bright summer day had fled." Cursed mid abused from morn till night there slowly crept into her heart a hate strong and bitter for the man whom she had promised to ''love and obey," but she bore faithfully and without a nitir- luur foi her chlldrcns' sake the cruellies of which be made her the victim, until oik fatal morning, nuddened and half crazed By the Indignities heaped upon her by the brum In human guise, she took hi life and sent the worthless soul on Its journey to the unknown land, there to await the final retribution. Tor .this crime she was ar rested, tried by jury, found culltv and con deuined to (lie upon the scaffold.

The youngest daughter of tho late Win. M. Tweed of King memory and the heroine of the Diamond Wedding. Women have been married and given in marrlago before, but never on this conti nent was seen anything liko the nuptials of this dead woman. At the tlino of her mar riage her father was as virtually the auto crat of Now York as the. Czar Is autocrat of the Itussias. Nothing Ilka her trousseau had ever been seen hero previous to that time. It seemed as if all New Y'oik has tened to do honor to the new Princess. Tradesmen and politicians poured in their gifts and men of tho highest character were not ashamed to bo found among tho donors. Tom Fields sent a diamond necklace and cartings that cost five thousand dollars, find W. V.. King, jewels that cost five thousand mure. It took one immense room to hold the bridal gifts, and the money value was estimated at $100,000. On tho day of the wedding all official business was suspended throughout the city and many of the great stores closed early In tho afternoon. The beautiful young bride wore blgdiauioiidsas buttons for her white satin gaiters, and the jewels on her person represented $50,000. The heioes and heroines of that proud night hayc gone down to hopeless ruin. Tho happy father died In prison; Tom Fields died in exile; Connolly and Sweeney were fugitives from justice; Jim Fisk was assassinated; Iugcrsoll and G.irvey went to States Prison; Prince Harry Genett did time at Dlackwell's Island; another died in the States Prison; two died In lunatic asy lums, and one proud beauty the wife of Tom Fields perished In tho gutter In front uf the princely mansion on Fifth Avenue, where formerly she had presided as a (Jiieen. And so they pass away. Notwithstand ing his ill-gotten millions, the father of this dead woman passed away looking through prison bars; and right beta I am reminded that this week also passed away IWe.l's private, secretary, Foster S. Dewey. Mr. Dewey may nut have been a great man nor an especially good man, but he was marked as the possessor of that uncommon quality among men gratitude which af ter all Is one ol humanity's brightest and rarest jewels. Foster Dewey, as tho private secretary of i weed, knew all the villainy of the King, but so skillfully did iio guide bis hand, that when justice like an avalanche came down on tlio guilty crew. Foster Dewey escaped w ithout a scar. He had profited by his op portunities for plunder, but kept out of the tches of the law, and w lieu the thousands rer ueu, uurigiueucu ai ine nerce cries or lis enemies, Foster Dewey stood by his old uhlcf to the last anil spent Ids fortune free-1 'Squire's son, who was homo from tho war ly in trying lo secure his release.

A lively sensation occurred cai'.y In the week In a suburb of Brooklyn. A rich gentleman named Woolsey had a fine country scat and employed a coachman who handled the ribbons to perfection. The coachman had a nice w ife and two children, and as he seemed to lead a life abovo le proach and had a fine baritone yolce, he soon distinguished himself In the village choir and ho was proposed for one of tho decons. Ho complained to Mr. Woolsey that the moral character of his assistant shocked him; whereupon the footman was liscliargcil and tho coachman was com missioned to hire another, which lie did; ho soon found a footman, a pleasant young chap who became quite a favorite with everybody, and with no one nioro than the coachman. Wltcievcr llio boy went the coachman went, and wherever the coach man went the boy went. They took long evening rides together, nnd on two or three occasions they wero detained all night on business. Last week an avenging husband appeared on the scene with a shotgun hunt' lug a runaway wife, and looking for a coach man who had lured her away from Ids home. The coachman and the boy disap peared that night and have not been heard of since. Moral Keep your weather eye on the coachman and your lco eye on the groom. UliOADlUtlM Our State Capital CorresponOBEce. Special to tlio CAnnoN advocate. MAitcn 2, 1SS7. There lias appeared tu some of our paper during the pa3t week an interesting episode concerning tho early marrlago and divorce of a daughter of ex Governor Curtln, width In effect is about as follows: Ono of the legislative committees, re cently, in delving among the archives of llio House of lieprcsentativcs after traces of an old committee report, came across a document which possesses a romantic in terest and recalls a somewhat exciting in cldent of social life at the Stato Capital In ye old times, which "never got into print, and was known but to a limited circle at the time. The document Is tho original House bill No. 2, of the legislative session of 1SC0, the introduction of which at the first session at which the House was fully organized was the first act In the legislative career of Matthew Stanley Quay, now Stato Treasurer. It was a bill to divorce Mary Wilson McConucil from her husband Henry Lloyd McLonncll. Mrs. McLonnell was the young and handsome daughter of the then Governor Curtln, and thereby hangs tho romance of Mils story. Through the efforts of Mr. Quay and Senator Lowry tills divorce bill, without going to the commit tee, passed both Houses of tlio Legislature In less than two hours. This was on the 10th day of January, lSllO. Mr. Quay, whose fine hand was seen In tho railroadlu of tlio Philadelphia Magistrates bill thiough some weeks ago, evidently began to get on to the rapid leglalatlvo methods very soon in his political career. Hut the romance. Miss Mary Wilson Curtln had just budded Into her teens when her father was elected Governor of Pennsylvania, and was but a mere school girl when she caino to Harris burg lo live- at the Executive Mansion She was sprightly, good-natured and had charming manners; by lStlo slto had de velopcd into one of tlio handsomest and most entertaining as well as the most sought after of all tho buds in society here and In Philadelphia, where she was well known ami is still remembered as a belle One evening at an entertainment nt the Executive Mansion she met young Captain Henry Lloyd McConncll, a dashing olliccr of the army, who was taken ill during the reception and was kindly taken care of bj tho Governor's family. This lad to frequent meetings bctwequ Miss Curtln nnd young McConncll, who was a fine looking fellow but of no particular social status, and would not have been listened to hy the Governor as a suitor for the hand of Id daughter. Hut Cupid and the Captain's shoulder-straps played havoc with the young lady's heart. Tlio result was that one afternoon n pair of timid lovers apneared In the office of old 'Squire McLaughlin and asked to be married. The young lady wns veiled; the Justice did not dream that she was the Governor's daughter, whom he knew by sight as ono of the pretty girls of town. Ho readily agreod to perform Hut ceieniony; his little nephew, who was pres ent, witnessed the marriage ceitifie.tte. The young lady gave her name as Miss Mary Wilson Curtln. with a strong accent t upon tho last syllable: The oil 'Suulre 1 ami his nephew are both dead, hut there is still a living witness to this cciemony in Hamburg William McLaughlin, the old In a tovriuS ruSo when U, duUtcr re - lated the story to him. The ycung lady was hurried off to boarding school and out of reach, nnd negotiations were begun with tho husband to get him nut of the way as well. Goyernor Curtln's political power at lliattlmo wns greater probably than that of any other man In the State, nnd moans wero found to Induce the y-ottnp nnd tinting cap tain to leave the Stale and make no claims upon his wife, who ho wns told had repent ed of her marriage nnd didn't care to sec him any more. In a few days the captain left tho town nnd was lost sight of by his friends. Ho subsequently became a United Stales Marshal In the AVcst, where lie now Hye3. Whether tho young bride objected to the summary way In which she was snatched fiom her husband's nrni3 is a matter of conjecture, but- It wns current gossip nmong the few who knew of the circumstances that the irate Governor had locked his daughter tip In her room in the Executive Mansion until the gay captain wns well out of tho way. The marrlago was kept pretty quiet considering the cir cumstances, and, although the story did leak out In society In a piecemeal sort of way, the particulars were never known, and tlio papers know nothing about tho affair. Vs soon ns tho Legislature met, a divorce bill was presented, ns staled above, and the marriage tin milled. Since then Miss Curtln has married a gentleman In every way worthy of her, is well-known In society elides nt tho National Capital and in New- York, and looks back upon her youthful folly with the philosophy which comes witli more sober years, and So endeth tho 'story Mora now hills have been presented this week, many of which have no spccial.'slg' nificanceand aro of no Use whatever, ex- cept, perhaps, lo ngsmyale llio members and postpone the adjournment of both branches of the House, until n much later lay than has been expected. In convcrsa tton with a member thootherday, I learned that May 15 was fixed for the adjournment, although, atlded tlio legislator, "If this foolishness keeps up much longer It will bo January 15." A resolution has been pre sented to stop the Influx of new bills, and the committees have buckled down to work and are collaring bills as fast ns Ihey come In, nnd are disposing of them in the samo hasty manner. Tho setting aside of special day and calendar for appropriations and revenue- purposes will, also, have : tendency to hasten matters somewhat. I would be a great advantage to legislators If only a certain number of bills were allowed to be presented at each session; It would also bo a means of Insuring more prompt and healthy legislation, the hurry-scurry to ct through would be done away with nut! the Interests of the Commonwealth wouli bo more generally and carefully obscivctl It would also be of great convenience to Governor Heaver, Inasmuch ns on him de volves tlio laborious duty of consldeilnj all tho various points of tho bills, which are oftlmes mere party measures, making It an onerous duty in which a mistake will occur occasionally the blame resting entirely ou: ltepubllcan Governor, when in reality, it should rest on the Republican LegUlattuc. It seems strange that tho Republican mem bers do not bear the above fact In mind, but considering the scramble that Is always gc- Ing on "to get on lop," It docs not appear so very strange after all, not eyen the jep ordlzlng of the political career of their own party leader. Brook's high license bill will have an otlior chanco before the Houso In a few weeks.

I havo seen tho land of peanuts, sweet potatoes, rice, oysters, terraplnc and corn. From sea coast to tho Tennessee mountains your State contnins a vast and varied as sortment of products, natural and artificial, and the man who can't find what ho wants In North Carolina must bo hard to suit. Ho can skato near Ashcvllle or go surf bathing at Currituck; ho can raise rlec nt Wilmington, or sugar maple at Dakcrsvllle; ho can shoot bears In Cherokee, and swans on the sea coast; he can dig gold In Hend erson, nn.l phosphate at Pocky Point. Everything to cat, drink, smoke or wcarlw can find In your State, and if ho don't see what he wants all he needs do is to ask for It. At every stopping nlace I have been warmly welcomed by all, and I should like to keep on traveling in Noith Carolina to see If I could wear my welcome out. So far as I have traveled up and down the Stato I have failed to find a placo which combines all tho advantages for a winter resort which your town affords. You seem to havo suffered less from the recent snow storm than almost any portion of the State.
