Death of Matilda Heron.


The telegraph announces the bare fact
that Matilda Heron is dead. She died in
New York city on the evening of the 7th.
No particulars are given. Matilda Heron
had been an Invalid for some years, living
in close retirement, with her young
daughter. BTou Heron, whom she trained
for the stage, and whose child triumphs in
the profession have kept alive the mothers
name ID the public prints. During this
period of seclusion she was also the recip-
ent of public and private benefits from her
professional friends, who never forgot or
deserted her, but attentively ministered to
her comforts. Matilda Heron had genius.
1t is inherited by her daughter, who has
already, in her thirteenth year, laid the
foundation of bright Cal eer, and was the
idol and one consolation of her mother in
her last days. Matilda Heron was some
where between 45 and so years of age,
probably about AZ. She was of Irish
extraction, and her family took up their
residence in Philadelphia during her early
years. Her brother, Alexander Heron,
proprietor of line of packets between
Philadelphia and Charleston, was the
head of the family in this country. Miss
Heron received seminary education in
Philadelphia-he principal school being a
French academy of young ladies which
was situated just opposite the Walnut
street theatre. At an upper window of
this seminary Matilda Heron dreamed her
first dream of fame. The stormy applause
of the theatre shot across the street on
summer nights aud found an echo in the
school girls heart. She resolved to be-
come an actress. and without the knowledge
of her family she placed herself under the
instruction of Mr.. Peter Richings, then the
manager of the Walnut. She proved an
apt pupil, and made her debut at the
Walnut in 1S49. as Blanca IN the tragedy
of 'Fazio." 1t was a successful debut be-
| fore brilliant house.
The st. Louis Republican, in which
paper we found two column article in re-
lation to the remarkable career of this
brilliant woman, closes its article as fol-
lows
Matilda Heron was an cratic genius
in this respect not unlike some others who
have adorned the stage. She was i'm
pulsive in the extreme, which trait made
friends as a magnet picks up needles, and
sometimes these friends injured her. but
she soon forgave their stabs Her impulses
we're all good. There have been longer
careers than Matilda Heron's, but none
more brilliant on the American stage.
She came out of darkness, like meteor,
swept the skies with wonderful light. and
has now faded from sight, but her coufse
is still luminous with the glory of her art

HELNR0ID'S RUCHU. -

HELMBoLD's BUcHU. = Helmbold' s
Buchu has long been known as one of the
most valuable medicines attainable in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections. and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As diuretic, it is supe-
rior to almost any other medicine in use,
aud the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity of the prepare
ton, and the diligence used 10 the selection
of the crude material, have made i. known
far aud wide as reliable aud effective
preparation. and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The great
success of Helmbolds Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious prepare
tons, which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to- be sold on the reputa-
ton acquired by Helmbold's original pre-
paration. Parties who desire really good
