SlIlQeS, scanning lacc anu lOTlu Ol every
thing in calico or crinoline that passed that
way, until finally becoming despondent, he
rushed to the street indespair and in few min
utes afterwards the following indignant effusion
from his irate pen was taken from the Post
office;
Mr.. LIVINGSTON INDIGNANT.
CINCINNATI, MARCH 18th, 1853.
MISS JULIA:-I received your note this NOR
nlng rnd regret that you should have to judge
of me otherwise than might wish, from my
refusing to keep the appointment you made for
me. to be seen opposite the Burnet House.
think too much ofmyselfto place mysclfin such
position for any one, and as l am sure that no |
true lady would ask a gentleman to expose |
himself thus, can only leave it to my charity |
to suppose that you are either very thoughtless
in expecting me to do as you request, or that
you are not the person for whom the notice was
intended, | should never expect such treat |
ment from the hands ofthe lady whom | saw
at the church, for, if / am not a false judge of
human nature, she was person oil refinement /
and delicacy, such as becomes the lady took |
her to be. / do not care to form the acqnain- |
tance ofany but such. / am too accustomed toI
tie delicate retiaements ofMgh born und educated
ladies' to care tqpanaer my talents to the ba8er cfo,cd
Charity induces me to judge less harshy Of
you than might do. But, if you expect any real
man of honor and selErespect to place himself
in so truly ridiculous a position as you named,
why, all l can say is, that you must have but
simple idea of what selfrespect is. To satisfy
you as to your real identity, will tell you that
have received seventeen ansloerS to the notice
in the Commercial, and among them one of
which cannot doubt the identity of. You
may suppose that have been very much a.
muSe& at theeogerneSs displayed by the young
ladies' % OF Cincinnati to see that 'haRd8Ome
gentleman" You had better come to church next
Sunday morning, and see him ''in propria per
soma, as he will probably be there. Then you
can sec him in respectable way, and can Judge
Of his appearance when he is arranged in his
Sunday go to- meeting outfit. Bring all your.
youny lady friends, and give them all a chance.
Yours, respectfully, as.R
Il. G. LIVINGSTON.
Mr.. Livingston, unhappily for himself wrote
under the supposition that Miss Julia had fail
ed to keep her appointment, and therefore pre-
sumed she could not know that he had placed
himself in position which he iancfully describes
ridiculous" lie could therefore afford to scof
at proposition so absurd.
THE POLICE EXCITED.
The waggish Mis- Julia, however, not content
with her pranks with the handsome sentl.many
must needs make him an object of Police sur
yeillance; and so, that eventful Thursday even
ing she (he) fabricates serious charge against
Mr. Livingston, and communicates bg letter
with the Chief Of Police, over the signature OF
James W. kItredge, who isreturning to Phla-
tdelphia next morning. He oyerhcars q conver-
sation between two persons in 4 box at the Yer
andah restaurant, and notifies the Chief that
one named Livingston, whom he has reason to
believe a " countereiter," has made an appoint
ment with his accomplice az to pass the Burnet
House on Saturday afternoon, at two O'clock and
if he was successful in his arrangements, he was
to Signal his partner in the Burnet House, by
carrying his cane, light bamboo, by the mid
die, but If not successful he would carry it as usu
:. al" Miss Julia, dla5 Mr.. Kitredge, describes
Mr.. Livingston as young man, "with long
black hair, (which slightly turns under; wears
a cap with black oil silk covering, gray pantsk
witha black stripe down the side, and has blac,
whiskers running all round his face"
MISS JULINs LETTER NO, 8.
In the interim, Miss Julia, having seen Mr.
Livingston, writes him another letter, in which
after Indignantly seorning the unlady-likc con-
duct attributed by him to her in his indignant
letter says Observation-Disclosures rendered itimpos
sible for hef to keep the engagement Thursday
afternoon" She then describes his person as
follows, in order to assure him that she is no
mistaken in respect to the person with WHOM
:, she is corresponding She says:
"Youare tail'and slender yet gracefully pro
Il tportioned, with very dark brown hair an(
;; whiskers, bright beautiful eyes,t and iact
> beaming with intelligence" Then she makes
