TEE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE.
Obscure and Unknown To-Day,
AT the Top Tomorrow.

Many who figured prominently here
during the dark days of 70
will doubtless remember a nurse,
one of the best, most faithful, tireless
and energetic of the list, that came
from New Orleans, and known as
Jenny Bronson. She had figured at
Grenada while that place was a viru-
lent charnel-house, and came here
later on to minister to the suffering.
Few people, however, knew her real
history, and none suspected that she
was the divorced wife Of the late A.
NJ. HOlbrook, who died as the editor
Of the New Orleans Picayune, who
had for a full generation been con.
nected with that venerable Journal Is
a business way. Some years back.
Jenny Bronson, while litigation was
pending between herself aud Mr..
holbrook, suddenly appeared before
the second Mrs, HolbrOok, formerly
Pearl Rivers, the poetess, and a
daughter oil Captain W. ]. P~oitevent,
Of Pearl river, Miss. The interview
.
took place at the Holbrook residence,
on TerpsichOre street, where Miss
Bronson had formerly been mistress.
She found her successor alone, and
in a brief space Mrs. HOlbrook the
second was unconscious, from savage
blows rained suddenly upon her
by the unexpected visitor, When
nearer dead than alive Mira. Holbrook
was left, and Miss Bronson
soon demolished with an axe
the furniture, pictures and other
adornments of the premises. Her
victim was found a few hours after in
a terrible plight, and it was many
months ere she recovered. The
trouble ended finally by Miss Bronson
being defeated in the courts, after
which she led a quiet and retired life
for some years. A year or so ago she
removed to some point in the west.
A few weeks ago her father, Lemuel
ii. Bronson, a pioneer oysterman Of
Harlem river, near New York, died
and left a valuable estate, all o (which
is to be divided between Jenny Bron-
son and sister, the wife Of a wealthy
San Francisco banker. The old
FISHERMAN was a strange genius, known
to his acquaintance as Pap" Bron.

canal boat, always refusing to reside

NASHVILLE.
An AudaciOus Lobby Driving
Through The Legislature.
NASHVILLE. March %. 1881.

NASHVILLE, March Is, 1881.
EDITOR LEDaER-The passage of
the 1907 bill in the house was looked
for. The lobby claim, with some
thing Of audacity, that the senate will
also pass the bill with its monstrous
features unimpsired. This can't be
done unless senators elected as low
tax democrats vote for it, aud unless
senator's elected as state democrats
who pledged themselves to oppose the
coupon feature vote for it. / have
seen a good many Hobbies, notably the
one that forced the parsage of the
funding act of.l872.3, but the one
that is here to pass the 1908 bill is
the most audacious and the most per-
sistent that ever invaded the senate
chamber. Unless the people petition
their senators TO vote against it the
1907 bill will pass the senate, X.
