lis. suydsm resides. when be is home. in
| the State of s'Illinoy." Mr.. Suydam
has been in California for the past two
-ltesrs. during which time he has seen
| the elephant" and made . pile. Mr..
ISaydam arrived in New York from San
francisco last week. On Monday
| night last, he came to Albany BY the
/ steamer Knickerbocker. Shortly after
/ his arrival be gotaequsinted with man
bFho said his name was Robertson
j doubtless an alias. With Robertson
he visited Troy. Lansingburg, Cohoes,
and various other places in the imrne :.
date vicinity Of the city. This was on
Tuesday. On coming home Mr.. Suy-
fdsm was invited to spend the night
with Mr.. Robertson. Mr.. Suydam as
sented, and found Mr.. Robertson very
nice man indeed. During the evening
they imbibed two bottles Of champagne,
soon after which the conversation turn
ed toward domestic matters, when Mr..
Robertson said that Suydam having
made fortune, should marry and settle
down for life. 'e aan
Mr.. Suydam admitted the wisdom Of
such course, and allowed il he could
find straightforward go-ahead gal."
he would go through the ceremony
without loss Of time. Mr.. Robertson
said that he knew .'just the young wo-
man that would suit him." and that if
Suydam were willing, he would go i'm
mediately and introduce her to him.
Mr.. Suydam looked at the matter thro'
the medium Of champagne glass, and
admitted that the matter was magnani-
nous. He accordingly put on his hat,
adjusted his neck tie, took Robertson by
the arm and started in pursuit Of
young woman that was to do ''old Hi
noy proud" They found the young
lady in the lower part of South Pearl
street. She was rather elaborately got
up. and assumed the romantic name Of
Miss Josephine. Her manners were
rather easy than genteel. fact which
Mr.. Suydam attributed to a simplicity
that would wear off with age. Mr..
Robertson made Miss Josephine ac-
quainted with Mr.. Suydam's hymenial
determination, and was rejoiced to find
that Miss Josephine coincided in its pro-
priety. Like Mr.. Suydam, Miss jose
phine was disguised with the "cold ne
glect Of the world" and wanted a boz
som that she could call "her own."--
Here Suydam spoke up and said "that
bosom was his'n!" r1 4....aa.
In less than an hour after Mr. Suydam
had entered the house, he had not only
effected a conquest Of can artless gall"
but had sent for minister and got mar
Fied. Champagne generally does busi-
ness in hurry. The ceremony being
over, Mr.. and Mrs. Suydsm retired to
their slumbess. About two O'Clock Mr..
Suydam got to sleep, at which time,
he says, Mrs. Suydam was talking to
him about ''those wicked women in CAL
ifornia." When Mr.. Suydam awoke
next morning, he found that Mrs. Suy-
dam had mysteriously disappeared, and
what was still more strange, she had
taken his pocket-book, containing $3.50,
with her. Suydsm at first thought she
was a somnambulist. and was spending
few hours on the roof. Mr.. Suydam
consoled himself with this idea for two
and half hours, when he got up and
commenced making inquiries. -
Mr.. Suydam called on the people next
door. who informed him that Miss Jose
phine was not a sleep walker, but a
young lady who "walks the streets"
in short, young lady with very little
character Of any kind and that little
bad. This information had most
crushing effect on Mr.. Suydam. To
ease his troubles he called at the police
office, where he told the story as we
have narrated it. The magistrate looked
upon the whole operation as a swindle
and issued a warrant for the arrest of
Robertson and Miss Josephine for con-
spiracy. What will come of the matter
remains to be seen.
NoTE.-Since we penned the above,
we have heard that Miss Josephine was
seen on Wednesday at Niagara, and in
her society "s young man with mousta-
ches," that Suydam is willing to swear
is Robertson and nothing shorter. -
They are probably in Canada by this
time, and will return to Albany when
':the swallow comes up.D--Al6aSy ".
