Natchez and Northwestern
Railroad.

4 short time since We published
paragraph relative to the organization
of the Na,chcZ and Northwestern
Railway Company, with the promise
that we would speak Of the matter
more fully at some future time.
The domiclc OF this company Is at
Winnsborongh, and the charter has
been fled and recorded in Franklin
parish according to law. The Board
of Directors are: Duncan Buie, JOAN
W. Willis, Cary J. Ellis, J.. NJ. Grit
eng, S. NJ. Lcwery, John W. \" om-
BILE aud Charles a. Bryan. We see
that books of subscription are to be
opened in WinnsborOugh. Rayvllle,
Bas,rop, IlerrisonbuTg, Nidal'a ana
! New Orleans; that a share Is = :
! dollars. and that the shares car ne
! paid in land, money or work on tue
road, a, the option of the stock hoIier-
It is also stated that the capital to
build the road can he readily procurec
if the stock boidcrs will subscribe
land, as men who have the money arc
anxious to invest it in real estate.
II is the intention Of the organizer.
of this company. We thi:.k, to run ,hi'
road from Natchez, Mss, tarnuel
Winnsboroush, Kayvilie. Oak Ridge
and Baslrop, to the Arkansa, liz"
there TO connect with the AirSand:!
and Lutte Rock road ; or we ralhr
think it will have its terminus at Ba-
trop. Hence i, is very imp"r'"':
road to Richland and Morehousc par
f i,bes. as well as Conccrdia Catah hou"
aud Franklin, and our people, VI
own real estate in Richlaud hciwee
, Big Creek aud Bcuf river and lii

r Parties owning land in and aroun

If their property hundred fold. Wae

There were three successful robber-
les in Texas last week. to-wit: AS
q freight train was standing on side
track q few miles from Palestine. seven
masked men drove of the train men
and robbed the train. Too thin in
our opinion. Four men were arrested.
Three masked uen robbed store
and the post Office at Smhhville. Bas-

As the International stage coach
was passing Dead Mans Hall. sixteen
miles from Loredo, it was stopped by
two men and the mail pouches and

The French people Who came TO
Yorktown to participate in the CEN
tenial celebration, are meeting With
the most cordial greetings wherever
they go, which is an evidence OF the
fact that Americans are not migrate
full, and that they delight to honor the
descendants OF the noble men who
assisted their ancestors 10 the struggle
for American independence. They
are now in California, and when they
leave there they will visit New Dr.
leans, about December 18th; where
we know they will meet with as war;"
il not warmer reception than they
have elsewhere, for there they viii
meet no. only patriotic Americans but
Americans who are proud OF the
French blood that courses through
their veins. There is no patriotic
American who does noe feel q wara
attachmen, for Frenchmen.

Senator Pitts opposed adj our nment, and
said II was the duty Of this joint convention
TO remain here and vote two, three, and six

Mr.. Brooks said it was piece OF reckless

Legislature here seeking a result which it Is
clear they can't control.
Mr.. Draper said that when one vote was
taken daily it was sufficient, and all decla-
rations that the result would sooner be
reached by taking more than one vote daily
was piece OF unqualified buncOmbe.
Mr.. Hustled c0ntended that 1t was the
duty Of the Legislature 10 obey the laws OF

THE BRILLIANT CAREER OF AN OPERA SINCE
SPOILED BY MARRIAGE.
From The SAN Francisco Chronicle.l


From the san Francisco Chronicle.l
Standing at the extreme end OF one OF the
male wards OF tie County Hospital, a room
probably over two hundred feet long, q
magnificent female voice was heard singing
some strains from an Italian opera. Fol-
lowing the voice through the long ward
and to the end OF the main corridor, one
hundred feet farther, and opening the
chapel door, the visitor found seated at the
organ young lady who five years ago
was regarded by many eastern music
counosseurs as the most promising singer
in the United States. She possessed
energy, patience, mind, and voice. Clara
Louise Kellogg heard her, and was so inl-
pressed with her marvellous gift that she
undertook the direction OF her musical edu-
cation, and sent her TO the leading Italian
teacher in New York city--the master
under whom Emma Abbott and Miss Thurs.
by both studied. There she remained for
three years, praciicing indefatigably, and at
the end OF that time her friends were so
delighted that they insisted she should
90 on TO Europe. Arrangements were
made to place her under the most celebra-
ted foreign masters. The patronage OF
the Duke Of SaXe.Coburg was assured
her. and a dfbM promised on the
most celebrated stage OF Germany. Stra-
ko.ch engaged to bring her out on her re-
turn, He said, "You have the true dramat-
jc express.si.on" Then the young girl
Incurred the dispeasure Of oil her friends
by foolish step. Two and half years ago
she married a HanOveriaD eOunt-a misera-
bic, unprincipIed scamp, wEO married her
on the speculation that her voice would coin
him fortune. His title was genuine, but
he had made bis name so odious by his
various rascai,ies that bis poor little wife
would be more honored as the vile
of respectable day-laborer than by
the empty dignity Of his title. She strug-
gIed on brayely awhile and gave concerts IN
various places in the West, but soon broke
down, and BY his cruelty lay for long time
Drasti ated with a low typhoid.ieyer. After
She rose from her sick-bed her health was
stllI broke down by the results OF her I'M
happy marriage, and she came out to the
Pacific coast, hoping 10 regain health ana
strength TO resume her musical career.
She was again Frustrated with sickness.
and, too sensitive and proud to let her
family know OF her restitution, nome
less and friendless, she went 10 inc
County Hospital. ODly.twenty-f0ur years
old. a mere child-wOman, in spite OF ner
experience, with all cbild's i'm.
pulsiye, frank ways, she has nearly cried
her heart out In her shame and sorrow.
Her voice has never been affected by ner
illness, and is to-day as pure and strong as
when she delighted Chicago and New
York audiences three years ago. with the
ears running down her face as she told her
tory. she interspersed her conversation
auIth snatches from operas, ballads, ana
,onos. sung with all her strength and soul.
mill the very rafters OF the chapel ROOF
,reaked with applause.
