Of his hotel, he pulled up few hundred
yards from the building, and not having
any " small change" III his pocket, gave
the driver guinea or a piastre. TIE
driver had never before seen the coin, and,
cooking first ut the guinea and then at the
Emperor, came to the conclusion that the
guinea WAS worthless counter, and that
an attempt was made to "chisel" him.
The row be made was terrific; rushing
after the Emperor who had walked off at IA
rapid pace towards the hotel where his
suite was anXlously awaiting him, the
donkey driver assailed his Imperial Majesty
with all the most horrible oaths in the Arab
vocabulary. The Emperor, who does not
understand IA word of Arabic saw that the
man was laboring under a miSappreheusion,
and eudeavored i'll vain to explain to him
hat the coin was gold In the meantime
other donkey drivers hurried to the spot,
taking the part of their mate, following
the Emperor with storm Of imp &c ,tions

left his daughter Matilda. who was afflicted

went to live with Mrs RuduIph, the widow
of Tobias, where she remained until Mrs.
Rudulph moved from the old bank prop
erty, now the post Office building, when
Matilda was taken into the family Of her
cousin, Mrs. General Sewall. She died in
Elkton and was buried in the Methodist
grave yard. Mrs. Rudulph, the wife of
Mike, returned To Georgia with her other
children Eliza. Nike and Amelia. When
Eliza grew mp, she returned to EIkton and
lived several years with Mrs Alexander at
the farm now owned by Mr.. Bratton. She
