SrrcrpE OF A DRRAsGED WoyaS.-Coroner jack
man yesterday held an inquest on the body of Mary
Gull, nanss of Ireland, aged n years, who had
committed suicide by taking doss of laudanum. It
appears that about years since, in consequence Of
the death OF sister, the deceased became partially
insane and had continued most Of the time since
She had often threatened to commit sulcide, but her
f-epos had never supposed that she intended any injury
to herself When il was found thai abe had taken the
poison every effort made tossve her life, bat with
out avail The Jury rendered verdict OF Suicide by
taking laudanum while deranged."
In AND OUT OF PLAcE.-One half of the business
of the Detective Police of NewYork is caused by the
dishonesty Of servant gIs and nearly all the perplex
tiles of the careful housewife arise from the Ignorance
or untairhfulness of her domestics. The dishonest
servant girl 70 remain more than week or
two or ut most month, in the same situation. When
she has pifered till detection beco inainent. sue
trupps up some pretext for dSchagng herse or else
becomes 70 careless INDECENT, ana insoient, that her
employ goaded into sending her adrft The more
reckless OF this class do t. be discharged bet
pack up their scanty wardrobe, foe evening, and
slip away unperceived. Such persons haunt the nsel
iRence offices in search Of places in which to
peat their knavery.
We do not assert that all who go to such Offices in
sesIch of situations dishonest; bat it ID we'll
known that the female thieves, who pursue their call
ing through the agency of the intelligence ofi,e,
corrupt many Of those with whom they there como 10
contact. II is of the dishonest class that wold
speak. Among these are TO be found some of the
shrewdest ana experienced female thieves known
to the police, who beng soierably good looking and
running over vita fair promises generally manage to
secure eltuations, while the honest and modest
are left behind.
Perhaps by giving sketch of the career of single
enc VIC shall be better able to sho the manner ia
which hundreds OF them ply their trade. Mary Doyle
is blooming looking young Irsn girl, about ~ years
Of age with dark haf eyes, rcd cheeks, and tidy
in appearance. She is just the girl shat ninety
persona out Of every hundred would select for SER
want Mary was sitting dcmurely in IA Intelligence
Office short time since, when a gentleman, whose
better half had sent him out servanthunting entered
the place and soon entered Into conversation with her.
She said emo DIDN'T much for wages, bat she
" anted 70 secure good home; abe poor orphan
and had no friends to for her, and il she could
only lind good home she would DO perfectly satisfied
Mary, of coune, was considered treasure, and
instantly engaged. She entered on her dutes imme-
daely and gave the greatest satisfaction for the space
OF twenty -four hours, when, all of sudden, the in
msculats Mary wss missing. After waiting for
eral hours and Mary not returning, the Mistress be-
coming suspicious instituted search Of her premises,
10 ASCERTAIN thing beside Der Celtic kad
disappeared. OF course, the lady first ran to her
dressug bureau and discovered that her brace
lets and her earrings her portemonnaie and her Jew
elry, ali " hsd gone at one fell swoop." A further
investigation revealed the fact that several silk dresses
and everything Of value thSt lying around loose
had been appropriated by the orphan Mary.
Meantime Mnry had hurried vita the purloined arti-
eles 10 . convenient pawnshop, where she obtained
considerable Sum upon the goods. With thus she re-
paired to remote part of the city, where sue again
took up her postionn another Office which furnishes
tho beat OF 70 holsekepeer" From here she
soon went 10 another situation where, after short
time dresses jewelry, and tbs choice servant mis-
sing. Again wasrepeated the az tue sign Of
the three golden balls after which Mary went TO still
another office, far away and this time hired out "a
cook She seems 70 have been well pleased with thus
place or else she old obtain sight Of the vslusoes
sooner for here sho remained upward Of month bu.
ut hast favorable opportunity presented itseu' MAO
May and other Jewels were missing.
In this way Mary continued for three months noA
the time we Grsl got tdings OF her, and IN 'aA' ans
abe lived in twelve different families, al OF VINO" sne
robbed. Sho WIS finally arrested, however oy '0e
ds,er.iyes. and charged with one Oh her numerous
,-ima. Wbls under examination, other compiAnants
,,e-o found I'LL nj last there were ten charges Of grand
,arr,rv preferred against the youthful Mary. Seeing
a.. uas faiyly cauaht abe confessed her Crimes and
o,vinq nm number of pawn tckets large portion of
The soen property recovered and restored 10 the
,;cbtful owners Mary tried, convicted, and L az
stating her oifenses at sng-Sing.
Now, Mary Doyle Is but specimen Of hundreds Of
her class who do buainesr In the same manner Some
of them even worse, being eagued wi h BURGLARS
who would scrupie ut nothing to accomplish their
