MATILDA HERoN's MARRIAGE.
How an Unfortunate Mistake Separated
Her from Tier first Husband.

~. X. World
The true story OF the late Matilda Heron's sep
aration from her frst husband, Harry Byrne, is
as follows. She met him in 1853 while in Califor-
nia, and. after courtsbip OF few weeks durs
ton, married him ssnrstly fJr professional rea-
sons. One evening, during her temporary sba
senos from Ban Francisco, number OF gentls-
men OF that CITY gave supper. Among the
company WAS Mr.. Byrnes aud q Wsll.kbown
writer, who has since removed to New York, and
who NJ that time was living on intimats terms
with Hiss Ridgely, then very well known in
thia city, and who bore striking likeness TO
Miss Heron.
While tho vine and cigars were circulating
the gentleman referred to took from his p okst
Miss Hi1asiys picture and at the same time OK.
planned her character, but without disclosing her
name. Those present assumed 1t to bs the por-
trais Of Miss Hero J. and Byfns, who saw II,
turned pale with grief and rage, believing this .
proof Of bis wsf3s iufidelity and the true reason
Of her refusal 10 m sfry h m publicly. Hs hastily
left tho room, wrote her q bitter letter, and at
once loft California. taking care to conceal his
whereabouts from the knowledge OF his wife.
On receiving tho letter poor Miss Heron was
thundefBtrnek. It was long time before che
discovered the cause Of hsr husbands strangs
bshavof, and then shs wrote to the journalist q
letter, which is still ia existence, begging him 10
repair the injury which he had unwittiDgly done
her. This, II Ia said, was done, but matters had
gone too far for q reconciliation, and Miss Eeron
and her husband never met again.
