The PeckWison diverse case, now before a
New York court, is nice family story to
come before the public. Peck wanted money,
and his mother agreed to let him have $50,
COO if he would get rid of his wife. Then his
wife, in order that he might get the $4,000,
agreed to make no plea against divorce. pro-
vided that he would marry her again. So as
it stood it was nice conspiracy to cheat the
elderly Mrs. Peck, who deserved to be cheat
ed. But Peck being free did not feel like re.
snming his chains again, and hence the ti-

Ulysses $. Grant and John Mitchell.

The case Of John Mitchell against Gen.
John A. Dix, for false Imprisonment, which
has recently come up before New York
Court, has brought to light a very mean
and spiteful letter from Ulysses S. Grant.
On the alleged account OF a bitter article
IN the Richmond Examiner, of which he
was editor, upon the death of Abraham
Lincoln, Mr. Mitchell was seized pursuant
to the following order:
by Government Telegraph in Cipher.l
DATED WASHINGTON, June 6, 1865.
Major Gen. ,I0h7a A. Dir, Ne'0 York
Have John Mitchell, formerly editor of
the Richmond Examiner, arrested and
sent to Monroe, Va, for confinement and
trial. Make the arrangements for his I'M
mediate shipment before arrested, and give
this matter in charge of a discreet officer,
who will not let it get out that the arrest
is to be made until he has his man.
lSigned L. S. GRANT.
This was two months after peace had
been declared. 1t was after all the south
ern soldiers had been paroled, and assur-
ances given them that they should not be
molested in the future. The leaders on
the Confederate side, with rare exception.
had been set scot free, At such a time
Grant lays his heavy hand of military
power upon poor journalist and foreign
er for an offensive article, and consigns
him to the gloomy walls of prison. He
seems to have been influenced by a petty
and malicious spite against the eloquent
lrlshman, probably because of some of his
vigorous articles. We doubt not that
some such motive influenced Ulysses
Enquirer.

what is in the bedroom.

If two persons are to occupy bedroom
during the night, let them step on
weighing scale as they retire, and then
again IN the morning, and they will find
their actual weight is at least pound
less in the morning. Frequently there
will be loss of two or more pounds, and
the average loss throughout the year will
be q pound Of matter, which has gone off
from their bodies, partly from the lungs,
and partly through the pores of the skin,
The escaped material is carbonic acid, and
decayed animal matter or poisonous ex-
halatiOn. This is diffusCd through the air
III part, and part absorbed by the bed
clothes. If single ounce of wood or cot
ton be burned in a room, it will so com
pletely saturate the air with smoke that
one can hardly breathe, though there can
only be one ounce of foreign matter in
the air. If AN ounce OF cotton be burned
every half hour during the night the air
Will be kept continually saturated with
smoke, unless there be an open window or
door for 1T to escape. Now the sixteen
ounces Of smoke thus formed is far less
poisonous than the sixteen of exhalations
from the lungs and bodies of two persons
who have lost pound in weight durrnp
the eight hours of sleeping, for while the
dry smoke IS mainly taken into the lungs
the damp odors from the body are absorb
ed both into the pores of the whole BODY.
Need more be said to show the Importance
OF having bed rooms well ventilated. and
OF thoroughly airing the bed clothes in the
mornlgg, before packing them up in the
form of a neatly made bed?

committee effected nothing in the wav of
reconciliation. The husband went his

not been advised which was the complain

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Secret Marriage and its COnie9uenee
The Mother of the Bride Stabs the
Bridegroom to the Heart.

Thirty years ago, great sensation was created
IN the city by the discovery that Augustine Ken
amount of between $50 600 and $4,000 The exact
amount was never ascertained, owing to the sys-
TEN OF bookkeeping in vogue at that time Ken
nery belonged to highly respectable family
and, being cripple, great deal of sympathy was
felt for him, and many believed his defalcation to
be the fault of others. Several wears afterward
he published statement attempting to exoner-
ate himself, but it was not entirely Satisfactory
He also published novel called the "Heiress of
Fotheringay," which did not make him a yery
high reputation a romancist.
Kennerly was bachelor, and died 10 or l5
years ago, II we remember correctly. During
many years of his life he lived on tenms of intff
macy with colOred woman, whose name we do
not remember This woman had several children
who were bright mulattoes. Two OF them are fe-
males, and are still living. The eldest is married
to n Mr. Berry, colored steward on the river, and
a very respectable man. The old lady is known
as Mrs. Holland, and has resided for many years
IN CheltenhaS :, owning five or six acres of land
there, besides properly in the city-the whole
valued at about $4,000 Her younger daughter
Augustine, was her favorite, and was educated in
the convent at Baltimore in all the the accom-
pllshihentS OF a modern education. The mother,
having seen the colOred people of the United
states rise from the condition of servlude to the

by respectable white man. But her hope was
doomed 10 be blithed, She bad in her employ
lnuIatto man named James Madison, who drove Il
team belonging to her, and hauled fire clay for the
brick works at Cheltenham. Madison had work
ed for Mrs. Holland several years, and was con-
sldered an honest and faithful man. Being an in
mate OF the heuse, Madison had frequent oppor-
tunities of cultiYating the acquaintance of Au-
gnstlne; but his wooing was in secret, as he
him.
he succeeded however, III winning the afIec-
tloms OI the girl who Is about 20years of age and
well educated. They were married without the
knowledge of the old lady, as we are informed.
The following notice of the marriage appeared in
the Democrat of the nth inst
'IE2rried, on the 9th of June, p. m. in Chelten-
ham, St Louis county at ST. James church, by
Rev. Father Kelly, MIR. James Madison TO Miss
Augustine F. Holland
Immediately after the wedding, the couple
started on the Pacific road a short bridal tour
to Rocheport Boon county, the former place of
residence of the bridegroom. When Mrs Hol-
land heard Of the marriage her indignation knew
no bounds. She pursued the fugities to Roche
porte, and there, meeting Madison face to face,
plunged dagger into his heart, killing him on
the spot Such Is the account that reaches us
from authentic sources. Mrs. Holland was arres-

FoE twenty years past John Manning
an old man, has been engaged in mining
near Shanta, butas he was always dressed
poorly, lived poorly and represented him
self as being hardu many supposed that
his labors at mining were indifferently re-
warded. On some occasions he would
come to town and ask some acquaintance
to lend him fifty cents, or perhaps dol
lar, to purchase some trifing article, and
pleaded poverty as an excuse for ask
ing the favor. Well, a few days ago. Man
ming bid farewell to the auriferous hills
amid which he had toiled until his hair
turned gray, and started on his way back
to his early home, Pittsburg, Pa, and it
has also come to light that he carried away
with him the snug little sum of S25 600
IN gold dust. And yet, while on his wav
to San Franciscoshe tried to beg his bread
at the hotels where he stopped.-Shasta
