kindly dropped at the principal clubs
and houses. So anxious was this party
that the circulation should be COM
plete that they would send three papers
of the same Issue, one to the lady of the
house, one to the gentleman, and one to
his club. They bribed our servants and
got our visiting list, and not one was
overlooked. No sooner did my wife
make a new call than within twenty
four hours one of those papers was sent
around there by mail.
''No stone to prejudice people against
us had been left unturned. My wife's
daughter | adopted legally and in strict
conformity with American law when
she was about five years old, and she,
OF course, took my name. After her
presentation at court endeayorS were
made in every way to throw discredlt
upon her. 1t was asserted she was pre-
sented under false name and false
cOlorS. whereas it is her legal and
proper name. and the property she now
possesses stands in that name, which is
much more important fact than pre-.
sentation at court. How many En-
glish people change their names every
year IN order to inherit an estate? To

war on Young Girl
OF eighteen because her father had gone
out of his mind was brave work but,
after all. it was in perfect keeping with
the character who did It. Nothing gives
so much modification and annoyance to
this individual as the contemplation that
Mrs. Bonynge is lady by birth and
education, the daughter of the slave
owning ariStOcracy of the South.
'.Over and over again, by word and
hppn
the fact remains. And yet last summer
a lawyer was sent all the way to Mrs.
Bonynge's birthplace, near BuncetOn,
Mo-, and had every one of her fathers
slaves interviewed, and all inquiries
made with view to rake up something
against her. No comfort was had here,
and so the lawyer took flight to Cali
fornia. There were raked up and
cOlored beyond recognition the acts of a
man un9ueStionabIy violently insane;
and with the acts of this man, as [ never

it. He is now dead over twenty years
and the actors have mostly passed
away.

lives. AT one time he was man OF
great wealth. the owner of one-third of
the famous Alison, which added mill

1865 he married Miss Stevens, and i'll
1866, in consequence of his violence and
other matters, his wife, in considera-

separated from him and took up Der

this event, while 1aboring under the in

did or might do, not having seen him
for two years, and holding no CORE

when she heard of it, wrote to Mr. Gal

and calling his attention to the fact that
there was an infant daughter. In the
reply, which she now possesses, MI.
Galloway agreed not to prosecute, pro-

where he died two days after. He
never spoke. He was not shot. There
was no pistol, and the whole story is as
