Fast, Faster, Fastest

There is woman in Cleveland, Ohio,
who has had seven husbands within the
fpast reightF yearssT Within Q week after
the aeasRa or the nrs,, lsne unitea ,her
fortunes with man who soon lost his
life in o street brawls Returning from
the funeral she accepted ythe proposal
of q third, and the next day was legally
married to him. But it appears that
husband No. 3 was not the man to suit
her ideas, and she soon after fled bill
for a divorce, which was granted her.
A few months elapsed and No. pledged
himself to love, protect and care for her.
This marriage also proved unhappy for
both parties, aud again the courts inter
fered and dissolved the tie which bound
them together. In May, 1857. No. 8
was smitten with her charms, and after
short courtship a priest slipped the
marriage moose over his head, and he
became the lord and master of her house
hold effects. Two months they lived in
peace, but at the end of that time the
wife became jealous of another woman
in the immediate neighborhood, aud she
again resorted to the courts to sever tho
nuptial knot, which was done. In Octo-
Der of the same year, No. presented
himself, and a quick marriage followed.
For some reason they failed to agree,
the husband insisting that he was the
head of the household and the wife
denying it, so they separated, and bill
again released her of her troublesome
partner. In February, 1868, she again
sought to try the bliss of married life,
and united her fortunes with No. Z. This.
time they lived together just year,
when they concluded they had enough
of each other and separated. The wife
again applied for divorce, and it was
granted her, and she is now anxiously
waiting for No. 8. In 1867, her daugh-
ter, by adoption, who was n sprightly
girl of fifteen summers, married brother
of her mothers husband, thus mixing
up the relation question fearfully. This
marriage proved an unhappy one also,
and taking her mothers advice, she got
rid of her incumbrance by procuring
divorce. On the same day on which
her mother was married the seventh
time, she was also married to her second
husband, and in two mouths after the
court iuterfered at her request and left
her grass widow at the interesting age
of sweet seventeen.

sWOman's Fickleness.

Six or seven years ago man named
German kept grocery on Beale street
in this city. He was doing we'll in busi
ness and married here. This commence
>ment Of domestic bliss was fatally inter
rupted by the appearance Of lady from
New Jersey, who with family of three
children, claimed the faithless German
as husband and father, and he left Mem
phis in their company. The uafertn-
nate and betrayed woman remained be-
hind; a little daughter was her solace in
her desertion. Such is the account that
is given of an unfortunate woman, whose
sorrows connected with connubial pro-
ject was unhappily not yet at an end.
Sometime ago she became acquainted
with Mr.. John Kenneday, an iron moul-
der By trade, steady, industrious, hon
est man, who stands we'll with those who
are acquainted with him. Kenneday
and Mrs. German recently became init
mate friends, and Kennedays feelings
ripcned into passionate love. He wooed
her and won her consent to marriage
with him, and joyfully set about prepar-
ing home for her who had won his
deepest affections, and whom he expected
to make his life's companion. He took
house and furnished it at an expense
of seven or eight hundred dollars.
Everything was prepared for domestic
life. The very coal and wood were laid
in, and the arrangements for the mar
riagc supper were completed. Then she
for whom all this was done, refused his
home and him That his feelings were
laceratcd, and his brain maddened with
wounded pride, disappointed hope, and
crushed affection, it is easy to believe.
Unfortunately, he brooded over his
woes. He believed some intruder
had won the heart. he had though,
his own, aud he formed projects of
of vengeance against the serpent that
had brought despair aud anguish into
his bright and fowery paradise He
watched for confirmation of his fears,
and determined to seek revenge, now he
was denied happiness On Sunday
night, between seven aud eight clock,
he saw her whom he viewed as the cause
of all his sufferings, walking on Madison
street, between second and third in COM
pany with Mr.. Peter Crowley, man Of
amiable disposition and unblemished
Character, greatly esteemed by oil who
knew him. Kenneday, now blinded and
maddened with all the wild passions OF
unrestrained jealousy, drew from be-
meath his dress two pistols, aud so armed
he approached the man whom he had
marked as his victim, and in the hoarse
tones of irrepressible passion declared
that he should die, and by his hand
His accents, his threats, the deadly
weapons presented toward them, caused
the couple to stand almost stiffened with
fear, to which was added the ter lex.

One of the most significant facts,
showing the change which is sIsSly but
surely taking place 10 the views and feel
ings Of the Southern people, is the rapid
decay of that portion of the Southern
press which devotes itself to keeping
alive the old sectional prejudices of its
readers, to whimpering querulously over
the "lost cause" and to dcnouncing with
out justice or reason every movement for
reform and every prominent reformer.
A journal, like an individual, must keep
pace with the times or it will be left be-
hind in the race of life. 1t cannot re-
sist the march Of progress, 1t must float
with the tide or tho waters will sweep
over il. Fossils ere GU: ss place in this
day and generation, the people have no
use for them and the people will not sup
port them. The Southern Opinion, pre-
eminently fossil, has followed in the
wake of other suspended fossils aud gone
down. The editor in his valedictory
says that che has for some time thought
that perhaps the mission of the Southern
Opinion had been fulfilled, and adds that
the distinct Southern principles upon
which the paper was founded are dead
in the hearts of the people" He furth-
er says that we cannot but recognize the
fact shat no cause however just or good
can long outlive defeat"
dead in the hearts of the people :"
there is the whole truth in a few words
The "distinct Southern principles" re-
ferred to derived their life from the Pc
culiar political doctrines and domestic
institutions of the South as it was-the
South Of slavery and secession times.
These times have gone and with them
tha principles to which the fossils still SO
tenaciously cling. She Southern people
are wiser than the Southern leaders.
The people accept the change which has
taken place and are striving to accomms-
date themselves to its requirements.
They want facts and not theories; thew
want honest, practical teachers aud not
whimpering malcontents to furnish them
with instruction and advice, and while
they recognize the truth, even when
coming from an unwclcome source, they
turn in anger and disgust from those who
would still hold them back and fastep
them to the decayiug oarcas, Of dead
past.
There are no "distinct Southern priu
ciples' now. Our principles are nation
al not sectional. Il is, 1--WE the people,
of one great republic and not we the
politicians of any section, south or north
the editor of the Opinion tells the truth
at last; no cause can survive such de
feat as eliminated at Appomattox, anc
the principles which first produced the
war, and afterwards strove to perpetual,
hatred and dissension in the South Ear,
dead in the hearts of the people,
Floritio Union.
