with whom she is said to be most unusually smlt-
ten. The name of this gentewoman was Tristan
nounced 10 the American public rs M. Coutts,
the purchaser ni' the premium ticket at the open
ing concert, ''ksOckpd Off at $3.50, which mod
crate sum she paid for the privilege of proximity
To the "kllingly handsome" Mario. Miss COutts
rcltes no concealment of her attachment to an
osAer w0man's husband, but follows Crisis ''iege
lord" even from continent TO continent, regard less
of that gentlenan's stern rebuils, and utterly in
different to the snecrs and criticisms Of an nnfeel-
ing world. She is evidsAlly lady of means,
and "don't care for expenses" Smelling DOT the
dimes with proluse liberality rather than be sep
arated from the man of her choice. Miss Coutts
is not appreciated as she should be. Such singu-
lar devotion is admirable, yea sublimel
At the FRS, concert in New York the 'charny-
ing creature" who is said to be quite petite in
figure, was promptly in her seat, and we hardly
need add became at once the Conserved of ali OBJ
servers" The New York Express says, that
some of the audience behaved themselves in ra-
ther an unSeemly manner, walking up TO the
ady's seat, staring rudely in her face and then
walking away with loud coarse laughter. But
Miss Coutts stood her ground unnnchingly.-
Her tortitude on the trying occasion was indeed
heroic.
In contemplating the remarkable attachment of
the extraordinary and mysterious Miss Coutts
we naturally wonder what effect the affair has
upon Grisj. We rather calculate that she is the
most jealous woman on the face of the globe
We wonder how she can sing, when just in front
OF the stage she sees the eyes OF the fascinated
Miss CouttS, bcaming with affection upon her
handsome husband. Grsi must be lady of re-
markable forbearance-wonderlul confidence in
her lords integrity, if she can stand such sight
and-Sing. Many woman would be so terribly
torn by the green eyed monster as to ''iaint and
fall back" at once. In truth we know not which
is most worthy of admiration, the faith of Grisi,
the virtue of Mario, or the perseverance and de-
yotion of the immortal Miss CouttS We should
certainly be inclined to give the premium to the
latter, but for the fact that her affections have
been most sadly diverted from their proper chan
mel. This thing of falling in love with other wo-
mems husbands is rather shocking to our sense of
propriety,
A New York letterwritcr, speaking of the
mysterious stranger, says: eve may as well
here state that she not only is no connection of
the Couiis family of London, but thot is not her
name She brought letter of credit to Barclay
& Livingston, OF this city, from Coutl's banking
house of London, and Mr. Leeds, the auctioneer,
being directed upon the strength of the Coutts
letter 10 bid any amount necessary to secure the
first seat announced the successful bidder as
CouiiS. Her real name, fortunately, has not yet
got into the newspapers, and we hope, for its
owners sake and her friends, it never may"
1t is strongly suspected. however, that the
whole story of Miss Cout.s' romantic attachment
to Mario has been gotten up for tho occasion. and
that she is employed BY the enterprising Mr..
Hackett, to attract persons tothe concert. Ifsnch
be the case we are at no loss to accout for Crisis
philosophical indifference.
