A STRANGE AFFAIR.
A DIVORCED WIFE MARRIED WITH HER
HUSBANDS BLESSING.

/ AOOOA1NO . DA@A-co1N0s
The Atlantic City Review relates an
actual occurrence at that bathing re-
sort of the meeting of three persons
who had been intimately connected in
their former lives, eneing in the mar
riage of two long parted lovers. The
heroine, Mary B. DonOghue, ten years
ago, when only sixteen years of age,
was the belle of Virginia village.
While at the White Sulphur Springs,
five years ago, she was persuaded by
her mother to marry a young Austrian,
named Frascati, whose debts and dis
sipations had driven him from home to
America. Two years ago her only
child died, and divorce procured
her a release from the crualty of a
brutal husband. Since then she had
seen neither her husband, whom she
never loved, nor the lover who had
fed the, country on her ill-fated mar,
riage. Among the thrOng on Sunday
gazing out upon the ocean from the
porch of the New Inlet house, by
strange irony, were the two men
Frascati, the Austrian druAkard, the
divorced husband, on one side of his
former wife; John Saunders, the low
er, who had grown sick with longing
for face net now twenty feet away
yet each unconscious of the otner's
presence. Driven, no doubt, to de-
spair by remorse and penury, Frsseati
wandered away along the shore.
When he plunged in he did not know
whether he could swim out, or wheth-
er he would drown his sorrows once
for all, and find grave beneath the
waves. Bat a woman's startled shrek
rang shrilly out over the evening air !;
his own wife had seen his wild leap,
all Ignorant that this was the man who
had wrecked young life. Her ac-
cents touched chord no other voice
had ever walked in Saunders heart.
He rushed toward the spot from which
it seemed to come, and dragged Fras-
cati dripping from the water. A mu-
tual and triangular recognition follow
ed, and there, in the presence of the
man who had always loved her, Mary
DonoghVe's divorced husband knelt
and prayed her forgiveness. At the
quiet marriage which took place the
same evening in the house of the At
1antic City clergyman, Saunders was
joined for life to the woman he had
always loved, Frascati witnessed the
ceremony, but how was the minister
to know that the divorced and erring
husband thus ratified the marriage OF
his own former wife to the man whe
had saved his life? How stranger, af-
ter all, is truth than fiction; how true
it is that all things come to those who
wait. f .-....,t..,

AN ARMY or TAX EATERS.


Tennessee has probably the very
worst known system for the assessment
and collection of taxes. This system
begins in Fees. It is carried on with
Fees. 1t ends with Fees. When leg
islator meets another legislator in Nash
Vile he says-"Brother, what are we
here for IL it is not to provide Fees for
the poor and down-trodden tar collect
ors, tar attorneys, etc.'
The problem of collecting taxes In a
business-like way has never been mas
tered by Tennessee statesmen. The
legislators in adioining States have no
troubls in framing tax laws under which
the taxes are economically and efficient
ly collected but this is something entire
ly beyond the reach of our Legislators.
In fact the utter incapacity they have
shown to deal intelligently with so plain
q proposition is appalling. The conse-
Guence of their imbecility can be seen
in an army Of taI-eaters in every coun-
~ who consume the substance of the
people. This is not primarily the fault
Of the tAx-eaters but of the ignorance of
our lawmakers who furnish the meat
upon which our tax-eaters feed and
grow great. Shelby county is fair.
example Of the general wastage of tax
es. Instead Of one man to collect the
taxes under business-like system, we
have tax attorneys and back tar att0r-
neys, tax receivers aud back tax recoiv-
ere, collectors and back tax collectors,
attorney receivers, and receiver attor-
neys, and clerks and more clerks. SAL
aries, and Fees piled upon Salaries.
And SO on. A more cunningly devised
system for subsisting an army Of tax
eaters at the public expense was never
invented than the Tennessee tar laws.
or course, under such system the peo-
pie are slow in paying taxes, the State
does not pay its debts, the counties
don't build roads, and there is neces-
sarily growing up around us a large
privileged class Of srIstocratie tax
eaters.

4BOUT OLD HTCKORY.

Andrew Jackson was a forcible wri-
ter. His early education had been
neglected, and his spelling was often
abominable, but he v as the author of
several valuable state papers, includ-

Of knowing who was the author of the

ministration, and he declares that he

The cabinet undertook to alter Gen.
Jackson's annual message to Congress,

the night previous for manuscripts

Donelson read the somewhat lengthy
and wishy washy sentence that the
cabinet had substituted for one of his
own pithy paragraphs, and then order
ed the Major to strike it out, every
word of it, and replace what he him
