Beauty, Royalty, Frailty, Degradation
~ and Insanity.

A beautiful girl was brought before Mr..
Senior, of the emigrant department, of the
Mayors Court, on Wednesday evening. Her
form was slender and graceful, her features
beautifully symmetrical, and the world seldom
sees so sweet smile as played round her mouth.
But her voice, though it seemed to have been
once the very soul of tenderness, was now rough
ened she spoke and acted strangely, and told
a sad story in laughing way. She was slight
ly crazed, and it affected her as it did Ophela
only that this darkeyed Julia spoke with a
greater vivacity and vouptuOusness. She said
that she was born in Mechlcnburgh, and the
German was her mother tongue. When she
was Is or l6 she came to Brussels to visit her
friends Her beauty was noticed there by
some panderers of the king of Belgium, and
she became his mistress. His love Of variety
soon led him to discard her, and she took ref
uge in house of ill-fame. She came to Amer
lea soon afterwards, which was only about a
year ago, and was married to shoemaker.
But he did not please her, and she "she did not
like the smell of wax" go she formed other in
timacies. Her story is somewhat fragmentary
and disconnected, but we have a glimpse of her
husband finding her in house kept by colored
people. He could endure any amount of white
amOurs, but that was too much, and so he gave
her vigorous beating. She could not endure
this, especially from shoemaker, and so they
parted. She was soon after taken to police
station, where she says she was entertained in
a friendly way by many of the officers. From
there she went to house in Mulberry street,
near Chatham square, where she staid one
night For three or four nights afterward she
slept about in different places, and then she
was taken by runner to place in Reade st.
The next day she went to live with tailor in
First Avenue. Two days after, she found her
way by some means, to the Commissioner of
Emigration, and having left articles Of dress
in all these places, she was sent by them to the
Mayor for police officer to 60 with her to
find them. The Mayor sent to the house in
Reade st., ordering the keepers to appear be-
fore him and produce this runner, or they should
repent of it. The lady Of the establishment
stated, on her arrest, that she gave the runner
two dollars for bringing the girl to her, and
had not seen him since that the girl was there
only one night, and that she would rather have
given fifty dollars than that she should have
been there ut all. She also stated this girl
pretended she could be all sorts of models, y
and that when they tried her in tableau, she
could not do anything. How long the poor
girl has been crazy has not yet been ascertain
ed probably she had been so for some time.
The Outrages that have been committed upon
her, and the places at which they have been
committed require the attention Of the author
tiles. The enforcement of the Sunday liquor
law will do little for the reputation of the city
while the beauty Of an unprotected crazy girl
renders her liable to violation and the wretches
who committed it are suffered to 60 unwhipt,
and while the pimps who furthered it are al
lowed to carry on their detestable avocation
well known as many Of them are to the po-
lice.-N. Y. Trabane.
