ROMANCE IN REAL LIFx.--THe
Female BIoodhound.-Much curiosi-

few weeks, by the appearance of a
strange and foreign looking carriage
upon the drive, whose fair inmate,

which skirts the macadamized road.
Who is the lady? What is she .
Where does she come from? are
questions to which none but the ini-

attired in the deepest mourning, and
her countenance is marked by an cx-
preston of that fierce grief which
strikes such a feeling Of anxiety and
dismay into the mind of the beholdsr.
Although still lovely-for time has

Which passes slowly before us, with
head bent low, and eyes gazing on
vacancy, the brilliant, all-conquering
duchess who, but a few years ago,
shone forth the guiding star of every
continental court, whose sceptre ruled
alike the empire of beauty, of fash

Paris she has returned broken heart

returned hither, led on by a love of
vengeance alone, in search of revenge
upon the murderers of Lichnowski,
whom she is determined to pursue
with that undying hate of which the
middle ages have left us such terri

Fabulous stories are told, Of course,
concerning her munifcent offers of
recompense to the agents of police
of the different cities, wherein she
deems that any of the murdercvs

have been alread taken here within
the last week. They were living
under assumed names in obscuritv as
common workmen, earning a daily
pittance; but her long strong

alone have they been conveyed be-
