A rioh widow Of the quarter fAntin, Paris,
about IS years of age, having become enamored
of her handsome young wator-carricr, took re-
Gently an occasion to confess to him her tender
fame. The water carrier could not believe she
was in earnest, and only laughed at her; upon
which the widow sutiocated herself with char
coal, after leaving q letter in which she declar-
cd that, notwithstanding her age, she died for
love.
At Q recent trial Of the trumpeter Of the re-
giment Of guides. for striking superior, one o.
the witnesses in the case, q young man named
Vernier, was found to bear striking resem-
blance to the Emperor Napoleon, and his ap-
pearance caused general movement IN the
court. He stated that he was formerly en-
Moved in the post ofics, but had for some time
served as n model for Horace Vernet, for por-
traits of the Emperor Napoleon |, and was, by
order of the present Emperor, being taught ri
ding. It cannot be said that the first Napoleon
led his graces to tho grave without leaving the
world copy.
A chifoni6rc recently died at the Hospice de
la Pitro, whom they called the Countess. This
woman not understanding the whitening effects Of
suffering and debauch, was still possessed Of
some poor remains Of beauty. In 1854, nearly
twenty years ago, she was one Of the most fol
lowed and admired tonnes Of Paris. After
having ruined several lovers, she finally induced
young man Of good family, who was desper-
ately enamored, TO marry her. Two years af-
ter his marriage this young fool, to provide Tor
the exaggerated expenses of his wife, blew out
his brains at the police Office, on failing in an
attempt to rob the Bank of France 1t is said
that the Countess, in the days other prosperity,
had chemises of linen cambria, so fine that they
could be drawn through finger ring; and that
after her elegant suppers she would have cham
payne brought in O vessel of chased gold, to wash
her feet in. Such are the luxuries in which de-
PRAYED women in Paris often indulge, and such
is generally their melancholy end. Many chit
fonieres have in their youth shone in their
equippages and diamonds; but orgies and de.
bauch have soon caused them to decline, AMI
step by step, they have finally attained the low
est depths Of misery.
ANOTHER SEDUCTION CAsE-Suicide of tn
Guilty Party and Murder Of q Child.-Th

in the neigh borhood of the Champs Elyseos. A
Madame b. and her little girl, five years of age
