The Secret Drawer.

Says the Milwaukee Ners: "a gentle
man residing on the south side and tor
many years resident of Milwaukee, is in
daily expectation of the arrival of an aunt.
on short visit the history OF whose later
years surpasses anything in fiction. She
was born and reared in New England, and
has lived there all her lifetime, being now
past sixty years of age. She was married
in early life to Captain Knight a seafaring
man, and bore him sons and daughters,
several of whom are living, married and
comfortably settled. About sixteen years
ago her husband sailed on his final voyage
to Cuba. and no word from him, his
vessel or crew has ever been received since.
The ship undoubtedly fonndered and car
ried down all on board. Mrs. Knight
struggled on few years, reared
her children, who remained home at the
time of her misfortune, and in doing SO ex-
Lausted the last remnant OF property left
by her husband. and finally broke down in
health under the accumulated weight of
wears. misfortune and poverty. Her young
est son. just married, furnished her a home
for short time. and then refused to shelter
her longer. Her other children, each in
turn. declined to burden themselves with
mothers support or to do anything to-
ward procuring her a home. She finally
came on the town as a pauper, and was
knocked Off to the lowest bidder for her
support, and was for several years a poor
old brOken-hearted creature, unable to do
more than knit stockings and assist in tend
ing children. Previous to becoming 80 ut
terly destitute, she had sold off her furni-
ture, piece at time, to keep the wolf from
the door and among other articles, sold
ter husbands old secretary to townsman
and acquaintance. He used it few years,
and then knocked it to pieces as rubbish.
In doing this, he found in a secret drawer
paid-up insurance On Captain Knights life
for $4,000, in the Etna Life Insurance
Company, of Hartford, Connecticut. Being
an honest man, and knowing Mrs. Knights
location and destitutiOn, he hunted her UP,
took her to Hartford. and she actually pro
cured the payment of the entire sum. The
| officers of the company informed, her that
| husband paid 500 as advance premium
| Just before sailing, and that they had long
! been waiting for the presentation of the
policy for payment. Her graceless children
were not long in hearing Of mothers good
| fortune, and have been vieiDg with each
| other ever since in kind attentions to the
| old lady, and pressing her to come and live
| with them, and make their houses bel
home, etc. She has sense enough, however
to take such professions for what they arr
worth, and has resolved to maintain her id
dependence to the end of her days. Tit
name of Mrs. Knights nephew is known Il

New ORLEANS. August Is. 1873.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
You will oblise me by correcting false
statement, clipped no doubt from North
ern paper. which appears in your issue Of
this morning.
1t is there asserted that my brother, Pro-
fessor j. P. Holcombe. Of Virginia, who now
lies hopeless invalid at Capon Springs,
'leagued with Jake Thompson to infect
Northern cities with smallpox"
brand this statement as base slander
and monstrous lie.
My brother threw his whole soul and
fortune into the Southern cause, and was
one Of the agents of the Confederacy in
Canada, but he was a pure, noble, mag
unanimous Christian gentleman, and this
vile falsehood will be read with burning
scorn by all who had the good fortune to
know him.
Hoping you will do your utmost to dis
courage the dissemination of unfounded
accusations. which are so often recklessly
and maliciously made on both sides, and
which retard the full restoration of brother
ly feeling throughout our common country.
l remain,
Very respectfully, yours. etc.

Musical Entertainment in Aid Of a Noble
Enterprise.

Enterprise
Some time last May the society Of St.
Vincent de Paul endeavored to devise
plan to raise money to develope the st.
Vincent's Home Model Farm and School of
Industry. This institution is situated at
No. 81 Benville street, and has had nearly
one hundred and fifty poor boys under it's
care. They are Of almost every national
descent, and of the class, not exactly
orphans, but having no one capable of TAX
ing care of them. In this institution they
are protected from the dangers and vices of
the city to which they were exposed, given
a good common school education, instructed
in morals. and at the same time taught a
trade by which they can honestly support
themselves. The Home has had, at some
times, hundred pupils under its roof, and
been compelled to refuse admittance to
many. 1t is to extend their facilities that
they desire to raise funds.
For this purpose series Of entertain
ments, the second Of which will be given
this evening in the chapel Of st. John,
Dryades street, has been inaugurated.
This occasion will be rendered particu-
larly attractive by an unusual combination
Of amateur and professional talent. With
out being profoundly impressed about the
entire programme, We have been allowed
TO overhear, in rehearsal, the grand duo
from the "Pre aux Cleres," to be sung by
Professor Won Hufflen, the distinguished
basso. and Madame n, who has one of the
purest, most powerful and flexible sopranos
in the city. We infer that the whole enter
tainment will be worthy OF this example.

The Washington Murder.

". II. Slater, who was arrested near
Washington. one day las: week for the
murder OF man named Hussey, a. the
Schutzen.es: in tina: city. IS quite well
known in this city. o; which he was for
some years resident. He was formerly
owner Of the City Hote! property, which
was sold few year ago to Messrs. Morris
l. Zantz. He still owns considerable prop
erty in the city. He has Been for some
two years connected with patent paving
company in Washington. He is young
man-not over thirtyive years of age
and is described by these who know him
well as a man of culture and refined
tastes, and never an associate of gam blers
or blacklegs. He was unfortunately given
to drink, and at such times was the victim
of violent temper. In his misfortune he
has the sympathy Of a large circle Of
devoted friends in this city.
