DESTITUTION AND DEATH.
The Last Ofan Actors Wife-DesertiOn, Druu,-
pnnesS, and Death.

The st. Louis Democrat of Wednesday says:-
THE Coroner held an inquest yesterday. ut
No. 5O5 Labadie street, on the body OF Mrs.
Esther Wallace wife of Robert G. Wallace, the
comedian, who died from the effects Of liquor
and a frequent use of opium. Her story is a sad
one. A few years ago she was happy wife and
mother with friends and relatives around her,
and moving in good society. Her husband was
an actor, receiving fair salary, and they lived
genteely. In time, she became addicted to
drink, and her husband, on returning home from
the theatre, frequently found her senseless from
intoXicaton Failing by arguments to induce
her to abandon her evil practice, and being
thrown out of situation, he left the city, and
his wife was compelled to take care of herself
and her child, a smart, intelligent girl, now
about twelve years old
''The deserted wife might have made a COM
Portable support if she had possessed sufficient
strength of mind to give up the wine cup, but
when her husband left her she became reckless
and miserable, and drank strong liquor for the
purpose of drowning her sorrow. The life she
led impaired her health, and to ease the pangs of
bodily pain as well as to soothe her sorrow, she
nsed opium daily, increasing the quantity with
the increase of her craving for the drug In Il
small room on an obscure street she lived a
miserable life losing all self-respect and energy
The neighbors helped her in her distress, but
she made no effort to help herself. Several times
a day she would send her little Girl out to pur-
chase whisky and opium.
"FOr the last two weeks she was unable to
lctNC ueT DCu' i1eT uelSuDOTS luuuceu Ut. EeJ-
tigrew to call and see her. and two ladies visited
her and rendered her some assistance. The
room in which she was lying was ina shockingly
filthy condition, and emitted such sicllening
smell that complaints were made to the police,
Two policemen visited her, and some of the
neghbors cleaned up the room. On Monday
night she was found dead in bed, in the midst of
filth and squalidpoverty. She has brother and
sister living in the city, both of whom are
respectable, but not wealthy. The little girl
stated that her father was expected here soon,
and that he had an engagement to play at
De Bars next fall Her brother took charge of
the body, and will have it decently inferred
'The verdict of the Jury was that deceased
came to her death by intemperance and tho
habitual use of opium"

A CUBAN HERO.
Hunting IA Livelihood in the Northwest.


Fron, the Madison (Uis.) state Journal, AUg. 4.
Yesterday evening poor apidated-lOokins
fellow put in an appearance at the station-house,
and asked for q nights lodging and mouthful
to eat. He lived, he said, in the vicinity of
Portage City. He fought three years for Uncle
Sam and this giving him rather a liking for
wars alarms, he determined some three months
since TO 90 and fight for Cuban independence.
He tried TO enlist in Portage and then ia Mil
waukee and Chicago, but finding no opportunity,
he sold a silver watch and all of his spare cloth
inc down even to the last shirt but that he had
on, and started for New York. He found no
difficulty in enlisting in New York, and Tor
about ten days he and squad OF
drank, and well tramped. After the vcis-
STUDIES of n campaign, he found himself
i'm an inclosure and under guard of United
States troops. The six weeks that he was at
work for Cuba, he tells us, were exciting
enough. but there was more hard and mean
work done than in similar campaign in the old
army There was no head to anything, and
everybody seemed to do just as he pleased. Dis
charged without money, and in rags the Cgban
has managed by begging and appeals to sympa-
tbv to get back as far this city last night, and
ieft for Portage this morning He said he had
enough of Cuba, and was perfectly satisfied to
come home and take hand at harvesting, to
oot hack where he was before the Cuban excite
ment carried him off The patriot said that he
met some six men from Wisconsin in the Cuban
field one from La Crosse, one from Milwaukee,
one from Eau Claire, and the others without
local habltation, but from the pineries. The fire
still burned in their bOsoms, and they told him
that if they could manage to get the oath they
had taken over their heads in some way, they
should so 70 Cuba the first change.

should have place. And why should the
rotunda Of the Capitol not be used for that
purpose The talk about its being derogatory
to the grandeur of great people, and all that, is
utterly inappropriate. Other nations as great
as ourselves have always had such festivals.
England, France, Russia, aud all the great
powers have their court balls and national
festivities. They have them annually. We
have an opportunity only once in four years;
and it seems prudish and hypercritical to
refuse the use of the Capitol for such a pur-
pose. 1t is more likely, as Senator Nye says,
that the Senators who could not dance voted
against it, than that the opposition was inhu-
enced by lofty motives of patriotism and
morality.
