Summers Unhappy Marriage.

A correspondent writes long
letter in reply to paragraph that
appeared some time ago concerning
the widow of Charles Sumner. In
that paragraph it was stated that
there was always amystery about the
divorce that Mrs. Mason obtained
from Mr.. Sumner. This correspond
ent declares that there was no mystery
to those who knew both the parties
to the marriage, and, among other
things, says:
"Mrs. Mason had money and
beauty, but was not an intellectual
woman, and did not belong to the
circle Of Boston society to which MIR.
Sumner had entree. She was spoken
of as u frivolous, fashionable, society
loving woman, ambitious of q posi-
ton in Washington society, which a
marriage with Charles Sumner would
give her. But she had the innocent,
winning ways which many pretty
women, when they have an object in
view exercise, and with them she &C
complished her object and became
Mrs. Sumner. She had married for
Washington, and intended to enjoy
it, and when Mr.. Sumner, who did
not dance, would mildly suggest that
it was late, that he had important
ant duties for the next day in the SEN
ate, and would like to 60 home and
rest, she would tell him to go and
she would come when she had danced
her list down. In Mr.. Summers eyes
this was too indecorous for endur-
ance, and, too, with the prestige his
own endownments had given him in
politics and literature, he naturally
supposed there was an attraction
about him superior to balls and
society beaux His self-esteem was
wounded and his sense Of pro.
priety shocked, and particularly 80
when Mrs. Sumner chose a cavalier
who could attend her in society.
'.By the advice of friends Mr..
Sumner endured his wife's whim for
gayety, hoping one winters surfeit
would be sufficient; but when the
actions Of his wife provoked the voice
of scandal he sought redress from
official quarters. The youth whom
Mrs. Sumner had chosen for favorite
was one Of those younger English
sons who are attched to the British
legation that the position may give
them opportunities in society here
which they could not otherwise have.
Mr.. Sumner represented 10 the then
secretary Of state that this was unbe-
coming a gentleman and representa-
tive Of her majesty. The matter was
referred TO the home government and
Earl Newcastle, q personal fnend

of state, in his Official character A.

Hot Water Tor Dyspepsia.

Saws the Hartford Courant: A
gentleman who is in business in this
city has cured himself Of chronic
and ugly form of dyspepsia in very
simple way. Hew given up to die,
but he finally abandonded alike doc
tors and the drugs, and resorted to q
method Of treatment which most doc
tors and persons would laugh at az

G .nply the swallowing q teacupful
CT hot water before breakfast
every morning. He took the water
from the cook 8 tea-kettle, ard 80 hot
that he could only take it by spoon
fuls. For about three weeks this
mo- ming dose was repeated; the dys-
pepsia decreasing all the while. At
the end of that time he could eat, he
says, any breakfast or dinner that .
well person could eat-had gained in
weight, and has ever since been we'll
and hearty. His weight is now be-
tween thirty and forty pounds great

this idea from German doctor, and
in turn recommended it to others,

Worship.

Worship.
Not forever on thy kuees
Be before the Almighty found;
There are griefs the true heart sees,
There are burdens thou canst ease
Look around.
Not long prayers. but earnest zeal,
This is what is wanted more;
Put thy shoulder to the wheel,
Bread unto the famisied deal
From thy store. ~
Not high sounding words of praise
Sing to God meath some high dome;
But the fallen haste to raise,
And the poor from life's highways
Bring thou home.
Worship God by doing good;
Works, not words; kind acts, not creeds,
He who loves God as he should
Makes his hearts love understood
By kind deeds.

From Fort Worth.
Fort WORTH, Texas,
Nov. 10th 1884.

Special Correspondence Of the Free Prs~
Enthusiasm over the final victory
Just achieved is great. I dare say
Fort Worth has been as demonstra-
tive over the result of the election, as
any town in the entire South. All
kinds of joyous manifestations were
indulged in: one lawyer was out
parading the streets in mourning for
the plumed knight, wearing in his
cap long plume. Another burst Of
enthusiasm was shown, by young
lady who appeared in the opera
house Saturday night to see Keene
as Othello, rugged out in an apparel
composed wholly of flags, from hat,
or rather cap to dress. On the oc-
casion, I suppose this pronounced
dress was to be overlooked. Since
the day of election to the present
time, business of all kinds has been
in great measure suspended and
every thing given up to rejoicing ;
and we could but smile when this
was offered as an apology for some
neglect of business, and reminded
through correspondence of the fact
that it has been twenty-four years
since we have had occasion to rejoice
over q Presidential election Ger
tainly the DEPRESSION was to have been
overlooked. We smole so perceptibly
that the author of said letter accused
us of being a republican, which
refutes the words of small boy.
In this connection let me say that
political or religious differences
should never be barrier to friend
ship.
The ladies here have ambition to
have this section well represented at
the Exposition. There is now on
exhibition at the opera house, the
fruits of their labor, creditable to any
place, consisting of various articles OF
needle work, paintings, wreath made
of the various cereals, grasses, etc.
gro wn in this county. Quilts crazier or
prettier, will not be on exhibition, than
two made by deft fingers here. One
pair of window curtains and lambre-
quins to match, are unique and ex-
quisite. A special reporter for q promi-
nent paper was sent to inspect and
write up a description ofthe collection
when he got to the curtains he said
he must stop, for he could find no
words to half way convey an idea OF
their beauty to those who had not
seen them. They are composed OF
alternate rows of antique lace and
satin, on each satin stripe there il
painting, each stripe having q differ,
ent design.
The people here have been more
successful in raising funds for this
purpose than in some other towns
A neat little sum has already been
realized by the admission fee charged
only 25 cents, and every one WI
pay IT 10 see the collection
The fact is. Fort Worth has some
very eDterprising citizens Some Of
her business enterprises and public
buildings would be q credit TO some
older and larger towns; for instance
the jail, the finest building Of th'
kind, when finished, IN the State.

THE TINDISCOVERIES.

Prof. George B. Hanna, Assistant Assayer
in the United States Assay Office at Char
lotte, has made a chemical examination of
the specimen of tin ore recently discovered
at Kings Mountain, and publishes the re-
suit of his analysis in the Observer. The
following is the substance of his report:
The specimen submitted is an impure cas-
siterite containing 43 46-l0O per cent. of tin
as ascertained by seven (7) analyses, which
is at the rate of 869 2-10 pounds of tin per ton
Of ore. Pure cassiterite contains rs 3S-10O
per cent. of tin, or 1877 6-10 pounds of tin
per ton.
The tests were 1st Fusion with sulphur
and carbonate of soda, with subsequent
precipitation as pure binoxide of tin.
End. Reduction to metallic tin, by fusion
with cyanide of potassium, the metallic
globules being subsequently subjecte" to an
examination under the blow-pipe, aid af-
forwards by solution in muriatic acid, and
treatment of Terchloride of Gold, for Pur-
pie of Cassius, and again by precipitation
with Mercuric Chloride.
The Observer remarks So far as we know
no vein has yet been discovered there, but
there are out-croppings of the ore at several
points in the locality which indicate that
one will be found and if it proves to be as
valuable as it's importance would seem to
suggest, it will be sure enough bonanza to
the Individual who holds the title deeds to
the upper crust of old mother earth imme-
diately above the treasure.

SOUTH CAROLINA FRAUDS.

The Springer committee has been inVes-
tigating the alleged fraudulent practices in
the Office of Marshal Blythe, and from re-
ports of the special examiners, filed in the
Department of Justice, copies Of which are
before the committee, it tappears that the eX-
tent Of these frauds is even greater than had
been generally known. The examiners who
have looked into the case find that the mar
shall has been not only derilict in the dis
charge of his duties, and has ignored the
instructions of the department of justice
and the laws enacted for the guidance of
disbursing officers, but is personally respon-
sible for numerous other shortcomings.
The examiners found no difficulty in ar
irving at the facts. They were treated
very courteously by Marshal A. Blythe
while investigating the records. They de-
precate the fact that, in the case of a gen
tleman so courteous as Marshal Blythe, de-
velopments should prove SO much to his
discredit. 1t is charged that he reported
only about one-ffth Of the fees and commits
sions in civil cases, cheated witnesses out of
their earnings, delayed the paying of Jail
ors' dieting accounts, though having the
money for that purpose in his hands, and
Systematically swindled the government in
many other ways.
The report Of the special examiners
makes very a very bad showing for Mar
shal Blythe, whose accounts are 50, 1000 short
Of the true figures.

DEATH OF MIR. DURANT.

We last week briefly announced the shoot
ing of Will G. Durant, a constable of Fort
Mill, by negro named Foard Knox, whom
he had arrested near that town, and was
proceeding with him to the town, when his
prisoner, watching the opportunity, seized
a pistol from Durant's hand and shot him,
inticting Il wound in his stomach. From
this wound Mr. Durant died on Tuesday
morning of last week. The Charlotte Ob-
se,rer gives the following particulars of the
shooting of Mr.. Durant and his death:
Mr.. Durant was on his horse when he
came up with Knox and keeping his seat in
the saddle called upon Knox to surrender.
This the negro instantly did. Mr. Durant
then told him to hand over his weapons, if
he had any. Knox first handed Mr.. Durant
a knife, and next a pistol, one of the COM
mon sort, with all its chambers empty ex-
cept one. After handing Mr.. Durant this
pistol, Knox put his hand in his rear pock-
ct as if to bring out another weapon, NOV
ing around to the right in the meantime.
Mr.. Durant was holding pistol pointed at
Knox, and as the negro moved up, he quick
w grasped the pistol in Mr.. Durants handand
Wrenched it from him. The parties were
on a hillside, and as Knox jerked the pistol
from Mr.. Durant's hand he stepped back a
few PAGES up the hill, getting in position
little above Mr.. Durant, when he took
quick aim and fired. Mr.. Durant reeled in
the saddle, but recovering himself, fired
three shots at the fleeing negro, without et-
feet. Mr.. Durant then rode to the house of
Col. Wilson Marshall, a distance of one mile,
where he was taken in and cared for while a
messenger was sent to Fort Mill for assist
ance. The physicians found his wound to
be hopeless and he was moved to his home
in Fort Mill, where he fingered until six
o'clock Tuesday morning.
The deceased was married in October,
1880, to Miss Josie Phifer, of Charlotte, N.
c., who, with two little children, survives
him.
Knox made his escape, though the most
vigilant efforts have been made to effect his
capture. The colored men of that section
have been equally as jealous as the white

Of the earliest settlers of our town, and for
more than half a century one of it's most
prominent citizens. His son moved to
Mississippi before the war, and at the close
ofthe war went to Texas His death result
ed from injuries sustained in being thrown
from wagon with which the horses were
running. He died at Seymour, Baylor
county, Texas, on the 21st of last month.
Mr.. Kenneday was highly esteemed for his
many estimable traits of character, and his
death is lamented by large circle of rela-
tives and friends.
A sad affair occurred here on Saturday
night. Joseph Cornwell, colored, while un-
coupling car when the train was in mo-
ton, in some way fell on the track and was
instantly killed. The verdict of the jury of
inquest was that his death was due to disc
bedence of orders in uncoupling cars while
the train was moving.
Henry Mccullough, colored, charged with
selling liquor without license, made his es-
cape on last Saturday night from party
who attempted to arrest him. They. found
him near his house. Suspecting their mo-
tive, he hastily fled. Several shots were
fired at him, but without effect. If the
party had postponed their effort to arrest
him two or three hours, they would, without
q doubt, have succeeded. NJ.
