rhe s,urm.Castlen Romance

Our exchanges nearly all have some
thing to say Of the late marriage in
Georgia between V. 81. Sturm and Mrs.
Eppie Browdie Castlen. The Courier
Journal, at the risk Of a libel
suit, ss it says, gives him very
personal notice, from which it appears
that Sturm is grand scamp. He mar
ried near Cincinnati, and managed in a
few years to run through with quite a
fortune that his wife had Her last
piece of property was mortgaged for
$4,000, with which he went into business
in Knoxville, and soon failed. After
that he was engaged by Louisville
liquor house to travel. His conduct to-
ward his wife was cruel and outrageous.
In one instance he forced her with a
drawn pistol to give up S525, which was
the proceeds Of fine piano-a present
from her father-which she had been
compelled to sell. After his re-
turn from Knoxville he demanded
a divorce, which she refused. He then
advised her to apply tor one, and, to
make her cause good, acknowled that
while in Knoxville he had associated
with a negro woman. Finally, he drew
knife and demanded that she should
sign certain papers which would enable
him to secure divorce, but. failed in his
purpose. The next thing she knew of
him he was married to Mrs. Castlen, at
Macon, Georgia. and was passing off as
the nephew of Victor Hugo. Many
Memphis people remember seeing Mrs.
Castlen at Montvale Springs in the
summer of 1871. She was bright, viva
cious, dressy lady, and attracted general
attention. Her husband, who died only
a few months ago, was her senior by at
least twenty five years, and there was no
congeniality between them.

n1srREss IN NEW ORLEANS.

The distress in New Orleans and the
surrounding country is so great that the
Mayor and Governor Kellogg have made
an appeal for help from the outside
world. Thousands of people are on the
verge Of starvation, and even if no more
rain falls it is not likely that the food
will subside for several days. Would it
not be well for the Towards and other
societies in Memphis having large sums
of money on hand to do something for
the relief Of these distressed people
The funds SO held came to US freely
frsm all parts of the country, and a
large surplus remains which it is i'm
practicable to return directly to the
original contributors. But it would GER
tainly be carrying out the spirit in
which this aid came to us to send some
thing of what was left over to the unfor-
tunate people of Louisiana. President
Grant came to our relief with
large donations Of supplies, but says he
cannot consistently do SO in the case of
the Louisiana sufferers, 1t is bread and
meat that they want perhaps more than
anything else. If each society having
a surplus of the yellow fever fund on
hand would vote one-fourth Of the
amount for the relief of these people
the supplies could be bought here al
very low prices for cash, and the rail
road would doubtless carry the freight al
a reduced tariff if not free. We do moi
see that any better use could be made Of
a portion ofthe money sent to US through
the generous sympathies of the whole
country.

Ar1MpnRrANr QUESTION.

An issue of the next legislative can
vass will be the calling Of Constitu-
tional Convention, and it is already sub
ject of some discussion. A year or two
ago the LEDGER was opposed to the early
calling of State Convention, but we
are coming to the conclusion that the
time is not very far distant when one
will be necessary. The defects of the
old Constitution are becoming more APP
parent every year, and many people feel
that certain essential reforms cannot be
accomplished without change in the
fundamental law of the State. The last
Constitutional Convention was held be-
fore the people fully realized the changes
produced by the war, when they were
more anxious to be enfranchised than to
see very far into the future. The in
strument produced was as good as could
be expected under the circumstances,
but it falls short in many respects OF
What is needed. The people begin to
feel this and to cast about for the rem
edy, which can only be had through
another Constitutional Convention.

Cromwell.

Oliver Cromwell. the stern soldier and
religious enthusiast, was still the most
tender and devoted father and husband.
While England was ringing with his
successes at Dunkirk, news was brought
him of his best loved daughters illness.
His kingdom and power were all for
COTTON, while he watched day and night
BY her bedside. Young. beautiful, be-
loved By all, the Lady Elizabeth died,
and her father, worn out by sorrow and
disease, laid his head upon his own
death-bed
Forgetting his own sufferings and the
change SO soon awaiting him, he spent
much time in prayer for the church.
Soon the night which ushered in the
Sd Of September, which he had always
termed his fortunate day" the ami
versary of two of his most important
victories. 1t came amid wind and storm
and tempest. Houses were unroofed,
trees half century old we're uprooted,
and the shores were strewn with wrecks.
But about the bed of the dying soldier
all was peaceful and serene. You heard
from him no shouts to his battalions, no
urging his soldiers on to victory, but in
stead, such EXPLANATIONS as God is
good" He will not leave me. And so
his fortunate day" continued to be
fortunate to him, and as its sun set, he
finished VIGOROUSLY the last great bat
tie. in the sixtieth year Of his age, 1868.
His body was embalmed, and amid all
possible pomp and magnifcence he was
hurled in Westminster Abbey, where he
Law in peace, till one of the basest of
EngIands kings tore him from his rest
ing place. Cromwelps dead body was
hung upon a gibbet and afterwards be-
headed. His head thrust on a spike,
was placed upon Westminster Hall, and
there for twenty years exposed to the
peltiugs Of the pitiless storms. Finally,
by some violence, the pike was broken
and the head thrown down. 1t was
picked up by a common soldier, and,
strange to say is now in the possession
of a daughter of hon. Mr.. Wilkinson,
ex.member Of Parliament for Bucking-
ham. 1t is said that the features are
quite perfect, and even the large wart
over one of the eyes, distinctive mark
of the face, is still visible. The pike

Brown, dated at Nashville, saying, High

THE RAIN FALL.

We learn from Mr.. S. W. Rhode, the
gentlemanly officer in charge of the
weather signal Office here, that in Feb.

rain, seven days in March and nine in
April; total, twenty-three out of seventy
eight. The total rain fall for the same
period has been 1881 inches. The i'm

Eccentric Persons in the Streets OF
London.

There seems BY the Police Court reports, eayB
London paper, to be rather unusual number
OF lunatics OF eccentric persons in London st the
present time. At Marlborough Street Police Court
. young man was charged with eccentricity so
unaccourtable that the police themselves were
appalled, At his behavior. Suddenly making his
appearance at Vine Street Police Station he COM
planned that some one had giren him hydraulic
acid, and Immediately after making his COM
plant stood On his head; then regaining his
natural posltion, expressed desire to be cut
open and examined This request not being
complied with at once, the singular young man
once once more inverted himself, and agnin stood on
his head before the awo-striiken Copstables. He
does not appear to have infrtnged the PROVISIONS
OF any act OF Parliament, for legislation has not
yet gone so far az to forbid persons to stand on
their heads. but he Was remanded for further in
quiry to be made respecting him, and possibly
the result OF these inquiries may satisfactorily
explain his peculiar behavior. In the meantime
rather more serious case Of eccentricity came
before the magistrate at Bow Street Police
Court recently, when "a tall, strongly built
man was charged with carrying loaded dre-
arms to the common danger Of the public. This
gentleman WAS seen standing On Westminster
Bridge With Colts fonr-batrel revolving ride In
