A wKoNGED GIRLS CURSE.
Terrible Scene an a Ne,yarh Teneme,
House.

Terrible Scene ial Ne,cark Tenement
House.
In squalid, wretched apartment, occupied
by negro woman, in one of the poorest quar-
tiers Of Newark, N. j., there was enacted at 8
o'clock on Saturday morning as intensely dra-
matte scene as any ever witnessed on the
stage. Three persons were in the room at the
time-Auntie AIalain, the negress Dickson
Gardner, coal-biack negro, who has a wife
and children; and Elizabeth Moran, an Irish
girl. The latter was on her death-bed-in fact.
almost drawing her last breath. She was
strangely beautiful girl-small. 1.-THE, and
willowy framed. with that striking face which
is only to be met with in the purest types of
Irish beauty. She had been employed as a
domestic in boarding house in Newark where
Gardner acted as butler. By some means
he had effected her ruin, and last
Monday she gave birth to child
During Tuesday night it rained frightfully,
yet Gardner removed her from the house in
which the ACCOMPLISHMENT occurred to Auntie
Malain's room, a few blocks distant. The ex-
posture to the inclepency of the weather and
subsequent neglect-for there was no one at
her side to give her even a drink of water
told upon the poor girl, and she gradually
sank, till her death became but question of
time. At 10 o'clock Friday night Gardner en-
tered her room and SAT by her side on the bed.
Auntie hIalain was there, too, and together they
watched the sands of the wronged girls life
slowly but surely slipping away.
She never spoke, and seemed utterly oblivious
of their presence, until 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, when she fixed her CLASSY eyes upon the
negro. In moment she seemed imbued with
the strength Of giantess. The wasted cheeks
flushed, the wan form quivered with emotion,
the CLASSY eyes scintillated with anger, and
springing up on her miserable pallet. she
seized the startled negro by the throat in
vise-like grip. you black devilp' she Kissed;
you fend incarnate! Now that I've got YOU
I'll hold on to you, and drag you down, dow, ;,
down to the hell to which you have sent me!
Curses on you! curses on you! you devilish
hound! May your every breath prove torture
to You! May yon be stricken with every ILL
May your life be embittered. and may you one
day roast in the fames to which 1 am going!
You monster! Do you ever hope for pardon?
Do yon think God can forgive my ruin at your
hands? No! Curses black and deep on you!
No, no, nor and she shrieked the last words in
a perfect frenzy. The exertion was too much
for her, and, relaxing her grip upon the throat
of the half-suffocated negro, she fell back,
dead, upon the pillow, while the black betrayer
rushed from the room with his eyes fairly
starting from their sockets.

Senator Matthews has countered on Ben.

other day from an inmate of the soldiers
home at Hampton, Virginia, in which the
management of the home is severely censured.
The PETITIONER is William Heydt, who was colo

action be taken to protect the disabled officers
and soldiers now inmates of the soldiers home
at Hampton from the insults, cruel treatment.

failing his services as a soldier in the suppress
sion of the rebellion, Col. Heydt says that he

his admission to the home, Col Heydt states
that he has been placed. contrary to ali rules.

ties which were beyond his physical strength to
perform, owing to the impaired condition of

the service. The responsibility for this cruel
treatment of disabled soldiers is charged by
Col. Heydt to Gen. Benjamin +. Butler, presi-
dent of the board of managers, and p T.

The petition is dated July l. and was forward
ed direct to the President, by whom it was
given to Senator Matthews. 1t was referred to

Il Pio,ss Policeman.
New York Sun.1


An extraordinary policeman was the late
Samuel B. Wells. Fifteen years ago he was
preaching to congregation of Yankee Metho-
dists. He had been prospered in basket and
store beyond the won't of Methodist preachers
in country appointments; he was the owner of
valuable farm, and had everything comforta-
BILE about him. But one day-thus the sur
prising, story runs-he became discontinued
with his life. All these good things-the
broadcloth and the white tie the respect Of
the community, the easy routine of pulpit and
pastoral oppressed his conscience.
Turning the matter over in his mind, he de-
cided to renounce them for life of self sacri-
fee: Leaving his wife on the farm. he came
to this city and secured an appointment as po-
liceman. Ever since, according to his sprviv-
ing comrades. he has been the live saint of the
force, doing his police duty, but letting slip
no opportunity to exhort the sinners he ar
rested to repentance. Possibly the terrors of
the law; as embodied in his club secuted a
more attentive hearing for his expositions Of
the gospel than they might otherwise have
commanded. His comrades agree that he did
a great deal of good. and their impression is
that he has left an estate of $50 900.
