Front lb Pbilm. Oor. Padia;; fluiiUajr News. A most extraordinary social scandal story is 'whispered in this city. Unlike the .Brooklymtes, like to hide their immoralities under the most opaque of bushels, and strenuous efforts hare been made to keep secret the reason why the r . 1 3 ! 1 - J young, nanasome ana accompusaeu son of one our riohest merchants left suddenly for Europe almost on the eve of what promised to be his marriage day. VVe will substitute fictitious names in order to make the story easily understood. A matrimonial alliance between Harry Jones; cherished son and heir, with the beautiful and amiable Miss Amelia Smith, had been nearly a year on the tapis, and the wedding was arranged to take place eariy in the present month. Miss Smith was known to be the adopted daugh ter of a very wealthy old couple, who reside in the most fashionable quarters of the west end of town. She had been adopted in ner Daoy hood, and was generally supposed to be the niece of Mrs. Smith. She was well educated; and beautiful. Harry Jones won her away from all competitors. The bridal phara pheanalia was ordered, invitation to the wed ding were lithopraphed upon upon the glossiest of perfumed paper, (tor tunateiy tney were never seat out,) and preparations for the consummation of the ceremony were complete, all except the making of certain settlements by the parents of the happy pair: Then came the thundorbolt that has shattered, per haps, beyond reorganization, the prospects and peace of two innocent hearts. Mr. Jones, Sr., was dis posed to be liberal, and settle upon his son's intended bride, a handsome annuity, and Mr. Smith wss desi rous to behave in a laudable manner in regard to the dowry of his adop ted daughter. Jones "and Mr, Smith met for arrangements, and the former very natnaraHy express ad a desire to learn the exact par ticulars of Miss Smith's parentage He stated that if she was illegiti mate he should consider it no bar union with his sen, as he had been carefully trained from infancy by , his old friend smith, whose name she bore. Smith acceded to this very reason able request; and stated that the child no bad adopted was illegitimate; that her mother had died shortly after giving her birth, and that he had letters to show ex actlv who that mother was. He produced them, Mr. Jones scanned a few of them, and then fell insensi ble. Assistance was called, n immediately, and the doctor soon restored Mr. Jones to consciousness. The reason of his sudden attack had to be explained, and the ex planation he felt compelled to make resulted in the dissolution of the betrothal of the young couple, for he was the father of the girl who was to have married his son. In his younger days, under an assmed name, he had loved and ruined Amelia's mother Handily, a fear ful calamity has been averted by the unseen workings of Providence, but knowledge of the bitter misery he has caused through a false step in years gone by, will doubtless haunt the old man like a hideous nightmare, until his dying day. A Fearless Senator. . If we were called -upon to de'sig. nate a North Carolinian , in wuom there was positively no humbug we should unhesitatingly point to Capt. J. C. Mills, Senator from Burke, in our present General Assembly. But Capt. Mills had one fault as a soldier at least cautious persons may so consider it, there was no holding him back when he got fairly started. Capt. Mil' fi commanded the skirmishes of . "me's Brigade for a while, and at the battle of Jones' Farm he was ordered to pre cede t' regular line of battle of his briga till he got within fifty yards of the i emy and then lie down and let the iiiie of battle pass over him, but when he got within fifty yards growing impatient, he ordered a charge, with his skirmish line cap tured the whole of the federal line of battle in his front. Capt Mills Carries the same go-ahead spirit into our Legislative halls. What ever he thinks he is cot afraid to speak it out, and he has, on several occasions, made some excellent hits at the inconsistent and absurd course of some of his fellow Sena tors. A bombastic resolution was introduced in the Senate at 12 o'clock Thursday, congratulating "the whole people of these United States" that the time of the forty third Congress expired at that hour, and proposing thit the the Senate adjourn in honor of the happy event, &c, &c, Whereupon Mr. Mills moved to table the whole matter, as he considered such a proceeding, by a body, that had been afraid to exercise a plain constitutiopal privi lege and call a convention, mere bragadocio, calculated to excite the contempt of our political enemies. We are much cf Mr. Mills' opinion. This resolution sounds sorter, "hold me daddy, you know my temper !" It looks too much like kicking a dead dog. Observer. "Jij" Mid A writer says : "Lady" and its corresponding "gentleman may, be cause of this adjective force which adheres in them, appropriately be used as predicates, provided they stand alone. But for the same rea son it is utterly inappropriate to use them as predicates or in any other form with an adjective attached. The rule is not optional, bat one which good sense and cultivated usage have combirjed to fix with iron strictness. The highest breeding, we know, tends always to approach the utmost simplicity both in man ner and in language, and prefers such wholesome, downright terms as man, woman, girl, to any affected substitute, Severe as it may seem, any violation of the rule we have hinted at casts a shade of suspicion on the education and antecedents of the culprit. When our neigbor at the hotel table describe3 a guest opposite as a "very intelligent gentleman or "a charming young ady he does no more, it is true, than is common enough among num berless worthy and amiable people; but he ia wrong for all that. The taste of a sensitive hearer easily takes offense at such 'slight matter, and the sin against style is apt to create a prejudice in regard to more essential things. How It Acts. The civil rights bill is not working quite so much good for the colored race as was first promised by its radi cal authors. It has so far been a dead letter in most places, and a com edy and tragedy in a tew others. lor instance, mstance,in Missou ri, the other day, a desperado nam ed .Hall took a negro into a saloon at the little town of Waverly, kept by a white man named Pool, and at tempted to place mm on an equal ity with white men under the civil rights bill. The barkeeper protest ed, and Hall insisted, when tho bar keeper chased the negro out of the saloon at the point of a pistol. An other negro named JLeu then inter fered, and the barkeeper shot him dead. The only mistake of the barkeeper in this instance was that he didn t kill the white scoundrel who seduced the negro. Another case has just occurred at Atlanta, Georgia, where a color ed barber committed suicide on ac count of the loss of his business. He had gone with a party of color ed men to a hotel some day a since and demanded refreshments, an on account of this act the white peo pie refused to patronize him. The result was suicide. That barber, in all probability, was a very clever negro if left to himself, and was se duced into the hotel by the advice of some mean carpet-bagger. Otherwise he would have saved both his business and his throat. We venture to predict that no colored man of good character, if left to himself, will be caught in these acts of folly and impropriety. Subscribe to the Southerner THE WIFE OP CARL SCHUEZ. A Model Helpmate. A Washington letter sayS1 Carl Schurz can not be more missed in the Senate than his wife and daugh ter will be on Lafayette Square. Mrs. Schurz fulfills more perfectly than any woman I ever knew the intrinsic man's ideal wife. Many women love their husbands, few find it possible te worship them. Mrs. Schurz began at fifteen or earlior to 1 idore her hero, and after sewing on ms Duttons and learning his limita tions for twenty years, she worships him still. A little girl in Hamburg, she worshipped the pictorial image of the Kevolutionist whom she had never seen. After leaving school she visited London, and a friend said. "You must come to my house this evening and see the wonderful Carl Schurz." The maiden came, and in a remote cerner worshipped fom afar the young lion of ths oc casion. The friend said to Carl : "There is a little Hamburg girl here who adores you as a far off hero. You must know her." "He was introduced," said the sweet voice, "and what do you think he saidtto me ? When my friend asked 'What do you think of her V Why all he thought was, 'She seems a good healthy girl. He ;d;d not ad mire me at all not then.' He must have managed to do so pretty soon after, however, for they wero married within a year, before he was 21 or she 17. They came to this country to begin their united fortune. "You will hand me the hricks," he said, "and I will build." If he ha3 "builded better than he knew," has it not been because of the sympathetic intelligence, the loving heart, the gentle, unfaltering hands which have never for an in stant failed him in his life-service ? He began his career in America by learning the English language. All his swift and keen perception, all his varied knowledge, his living ideas, were locked in the fastnesses of Teutonic speech. To-day he is a master of English eloquence. No Senator equal Lim in vivid, fluent, forensic utterance. Industry, in iviiigcuoc, a love of books, of art and of music, with intense home affections, are the elements which fill his household life. The result is visible in his own study hold upon mental pusuits, in his various ac complishments and simple, unblem ished character. Nor is it less visible in his wife and daughter's,or in the happy eyes of the little Carl. The sympathy of the world seems to have changed to Tilton; and, in deed, of all engaged in the fearful scandal ho alone seems to have suffered through no fault of his own. lie is the victim of circumstances which he tried to control but failed, and he was forced into making pub lic his domestic infelicities aganist his own wish to bury them in the silence of Ins soul. He knew that he had been terribly wronged and outraged, his confidence abused and his honor touched in its tenderest point;ye to save his children and his wife the disgrace of public ex posure, like a martyr, if not a hero, he sought to bury his injuries in the tomb of silence. Those ghouls of society, the Woodhulls of the press, would not permit this, how ever. They would not let the skel eton rest uudisturbed in the closet where he had hidden it, but must needs force it out; and in self de- ence Mr. Tilton was compelled to take the aggressive. Thus the matter stands, as we view it, and we pity him. lie has the best re cord of all, and although his peace of mind is gono forever, and he must walk the world henceforth as one dead to hope and to himself, yet we trust he may at least have the satis- action of a lull vindication of his course to cheer the declining years of his desolated life.
