\ REMARKABLE WoMAN.-1he news has
reached Us of the death of Madame de St.
Mars, known by the nom de plume of the
- Countess Dash She died in extreme
destitution in one of the Partisan suburbs.
She was born in 1904, her father being one
of the old French aristocracy, who, after the
revolution, fled to Germany. Before she
was Is she had made quite a name for her
self by her poetry In her eighteenth year
she married the Marquis Poloir de St Mars,
whc ran through his fortune at the gaming
table and then deserted his young wife.
Suddenly reduced to poverty. the Marchion-
ess resorted to literature as a means of earn
ing livelihood. \ volume of poetry which
she wrote at first went begging among the
Partisan publishers, and she was finally glad
to sell it for one hundred francs. But her
next production, a novel, proved more sue
cessful. Several editions were issued in
rapid succession. and henceforth the young
authOreSs, :" The Countess Dash, = had more
orders from booksellers than she was able to
fill. Up to 1915 she issued no fewer than
forty-three novels, all of which were eagerly
read by the public The large income which
she derived from her writings enabled her to
live in brilliant style, and her salon was fire.

writers of her time. Her popularity finally
declined, and being an extrayagant liver, She

AnecdOte of Horace.

"uncle Horace" as his loving children
Boss Tweed, Oakley Hall, ct al delight to
call the philosopher, or the "Chappaqua
woodchopper,' as the Herald loves to de-
signate the Democrat standard bearer, is
somewhat famous as a temperance lee
turer, or has been in times past, before
joining the party composed, as Horace
used to sing or write. "Every one who
chooses to live by pugilism, or gambling,
or harlotry, with nearly every keeper of
tipping house."
At and round Nottingham, Pa, the peo-
pie are temperance, cold water drinking
souls, and frequently get up mass temper
ance meetings, and import noted speakers
from abroad. Two years ago such mass
cold water demonstration was determined
upon in that neighborhood, and it was
thought it would be good stroke of policy
to get Mr.. Greeley to deliver a lecture at
the meeting. The philanthropic philoso-
pher of the Tribune was accordingly ad-
dressed by the proper committee, and re
sponded favorably if they would pay one
hundred dollars for his services in the
cause of Nottingham temperance. The
day was fixed, the philosopher notified
and the affair extensively posted with
Greeley's name in the foreground of the
speakers. In coming to the meeting the
old man fell asleep in the cars and passed
Lamokin Junction, where he should
have taken the P. & B. Central rail-
road, and didn't discover his mistake
till he reached Elkton. A carriage was
secured here and the big gun of the coca
sion transferred across the country to
Nottingham. The ex-editor of the Tri-
bune reached the grove in time to
make what his friends styled very dry.
poor speech and pocketed the 800 fee,
which was the more important, and allow
ed the managers to pay his carriage hire,
the fault of his going to sleep or inexcus-
able carelessness in taking the train. To
cap the climax the stupid financial conn.,
mittee who went around with the contri
button hat, placed it under Horace's noe
for mite and he dropped a quarter int.
We place this anecdote of the Editor ofhe
Tribune on record because it is the falion
for biographers of great men to gatrr all
the anecdotes connected with their areer,
although there is not much point it, ex-
cept perhaps the extreme point, whih is the
quarter. In these times of wheleale abuse
of Horace's inconsistency, it Wipe refresh
ing to his friends to be able to,oint to his
consistency in practicing the lessons he
breaches in economy, if he dos go back on
his political record.

Hon. Roscoe Conklin, in his great
speech at the Cooper Institute Meeting, on
Tuesday night last, in defending General
Grant from the abuse and ISLANDERS of the
New York Tribune, Sumner and Schurz,
to say nothing of the Democratic fry that
echo the ISLANDERS Of those leading libellers
and falsifers, quoted the following from
Marshalls Life of Washington as COM
panion piece Of SANDER heapcd by such
men as Greeley, Schurz Il Co., ON the Faith
err of his Country. During the pending of
jays treaty, to which Washington was
earnestly devoted, Chief Justice Marshall
informs us that Washington's
Military and political character was
attacked with equal violence, and it was
averred that he was totally destitute of
merit, either as soldier or a statesman.
The calumuies with which he was assailed
were not confined to his political conduct;
oven his qualities as a man were the sub
jects of detraction. That he had violated
the Constitution in negotiating treaty
without the previous advice Of the Senate,
and in embracing in that treaty subjects
belonging exclusively to the Legislature,
was openly maintained, fo- which an i'm
parchment was publicly suggested; and
that he had drawn from the Treasury for
his private use more than the salary annex
ed to his office was asserted without blush.
This last allegation was said to be support
ed 10y extracts from the Treasury accounts,
which had been laid before the Legislature,
and was maintained with the most unbiush-
ing eflrontery. Though the Secretary of

The Savannah (Ga) feaos can't 60 the

Greeley, and quotes the linth resolution of
the platform as an unsrmountabie obsta-
Gle. The Meas says:
"The ninth resolution of the Cincinnati
Platform, in commo' with the others, was
read before the Derocratic Convention in
Baltimore, and a large majority OF the
Southern delegate voted for it. The reso-
luton is in these cords:
eve REMEMBER WITH GRATITUDE THE
HERoISM AND SCRIFICE OF THE SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS 6 THE REPUBLIC, AND NO
ACT OF OURS SAIL EVER DETRACr FROM
THEIR JUsTLyEARNED FAME OR THE FULL
REWARD OF HEIR PATRIOTISM"
"And tbs" continues the News, "was
voted for anid shouts of enthusiasm and
bursts of rusic, by the Southern delegates,
with a fe, notable EXCEPTIONS"
This toes seem like pretty hard pill for
Democrats to swallow, who, to very
recentdate, accounted it primary virtue
to derounce the SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
OF TIE REPUBLIC" as "Lincoln's hire
lins." That party has had some bitter
experiences in the last twelve years, but
tie eating of its own warm words and de-
darations, fed to it by the hand of "Old
Greeley" as they used to love to designate
the Tribune's executors is doubtless among
the most humiliating of all former trials.
What is the expected compensation and
reward for this immense sacrifice
of feeling, and, they declare, of principle
too? 1t is evidently a desperate movement
to gain position when between them and
the control of the Government there will
nothing interpose but one old man, notori-
ously cowardly and vacilating in action in
great emergencies. That this is the hope
which SO simultaneously influenced that
party to change, or conversion as they
pretend, so miracuiously sudden, no Repub-
lican ought for moment to doubt; and
with the enemy bent on such a desperate
flank movement, the duty of the hour is to
stand by the leader who crushed the party
in arms, and who has restrained their vio-
ence in peace, which, under Ku klux
organization they have constantly dis
turbed.

Mr.. Robert Vance, brother of the ex-
governor, has been making a very pretty
speech at Wilson, North Carolina, in favor
of Greeley. He illustrated his position by
humorous story Of an old preacher into
whose hymn book some bad boy had pasted
the old song sold Grimes is dead, that
good old man, we meier shall see him
more.' On opening his book one day
before sermon, his eyes fell on this hymn.
He read the first verse and stopped with
surprise. He wiped his specs and read it
again, and said, Brethren, have been
singing out of this book for forty years; l
have never recognized this as hymn be-
fore, hut it's here, and l amt agwine to go
back on my book now; so please raise the
tune, and We'll sing it through if it kills
u.s." "Now,' said Mr.. Vance, eve have
been singing Democratic hymns for forty
years down here, and we have never recog-
nized Greeley as Democrat before; but if
the Baltimore Convention puts him in our
hymn-book, Wen sing him through if it
kills u.s."
Take notice Greeley represents the
hymn, which was a fraud, and the Demo-
crat party the old fool of minister. The
hymn (?) had no business in the book, the
congregation had no business to sing it, its
insertion was huge joke, and the singing
of " Old Grimes broke up the sanctity Of
the meeting, all of which means that the
election of Greeley breaks up the Union,
his nomination was farce, the people
have no business voting for him, and he
never ought to have been on the ticket

Another Lie Nailed to the Counter.


Carl Schurz, United States Senator from
the State of Missouri, addressing his con-
stituents in st. Louis on Monday evening,
the 22d inst, made the following grave ac-
ed States:
"When the San Domingo scheme vas
pending two gentlemen in intimate relations
with the White House came to me. Each
were separately soliciting my support of
the project They assured me if 1 would
give that support, or abstain from opposi-
tion, all the patronage / desired would be
at my disposal, making me in that respect
one of the most influential men in the land
One Of these gentlemen subsequently adj
mitted to me in writing that the offer was
made to me with the consent of the Presi-
dent himself. He SAID he had withheld
this statement long time in spite of many
provocations, and made it now only because,
as the papers have recently stated that the
President himself put forth the assertion
in public interview that he Schurz } was
opposed to him because he had not receiv-
ed as much patronage as he wanted.''
Friends, personal and political, of the
President, citizens of St. Louis, who were
in the meeting, and heard the accusation,
at once telegraphed to Washington and
asked for the Presidents reply. He was
then en- route from Long Branch, and could
not of course be reached. On the 23d, be-
fore the Cabinet assembled, the Secretary
OF War, General Belknap, brought it to his
attention, and the following statement was
authorized by the President:
WAsHINGToS, D. c., July 90, 1872.
"The charge made last evening by Sena-
tor Schurz in his st. Louis speech, to the
effect that he had been offered official pat
ronage by the President or his friends to
vote against his convictions of duty in re-
gard to the annexation of San Domingo
was laid before the President by Secretary
Belknap on General Grants arrival here
this morning. The President pronounces
the whole statement as far as it attempts
TO reflect upon him, as absolutely un-
founded in fact. Senator Schurz was eth
er imposed upon or is the utterer of a NAL
icious fabrication. In no way was any one
ever authorized to tender to Mr.. Schurz, or
any other Senator, the control Or use ofany
patronage for the approval of the San Do
mingo annexation policy. or any other
saleasure of this Administration. The
President expresses his earnest desire that
Mr.. SehurZ will at once publish the letter
he claims to have relating to this pretend
cd proffer, in order that if any one has 80
imposed upon the Senator it may lead to
full exposure OF the dishonest motive and
character of that person.
Schurz hasn't answered.
