A STRANGE SToRY.-The telegraphlc
report from New York. last week, con-
tanned a paragraph relating to Mrs. Gen.
Eaton, who was once the wife of a Cab
inent Minister Of the United States,
which, to those familiar with her history,
sounds like the closing chapter of a sensa-
tional romance. The report states that
this lady, now seventy-eight years OF age,
has had her husband, a young Italian,
aged thirty, arrested for abandonment, he
having deserted her for her grand daugh-
ter, by whom he has had two children,
after having spent 500, 900 of the estate
left to Mre. Eaton by her former husband.
The statement revivcs the recollection of
a great social tempest at Washington,
about forty years ago, of which this lady
was the heroine She was then the new
Iy married wife Of General Eaton, of
Tennessee, Jackson's Secretary of War,
and the wives of the other members of the
Cabinet, for alleged reasons of their own,
refused to extend to her social recos milton.
The result of this quarrel among the ladies,
was, fnally, dissolution of Jackson's
Cabinet, on what was tn sleeringly
called woman's squabble over point of
etiquette, but for which there were more
solid reasons A few years afterward,
General Eaton died, leaving his widow
in the possession of a magnificent estate.
Tho lady disappeared from public view,
until about ten years ago, when we hear
of her taking to herself another husband
in the person Of an italian dancing mas
ter, about twenty years of age, whom she
employed TO teach her grandchildren the
art Terpischcrean and the finale is, the
revelation in the Police Court Of New
York, of the abandonment of the poor
woman in her old age, the ruin of her
grand daughter, the wasting of the estate
of her former husband, and her own de-
scent, from affluence to poverty. Altos
gether the story sounds more like fiction
than fact.-Erie Observer.
