ers. Besides which, they bring eye
diseases, and, sometimes, paralysis of
the brain. Is ali the yellow hair in
the world worth such price?
But enough of fashion and its vota-
ries.. I have written now more than
/ intended on the subject, and have
scarcely space left for even the little
chit-chat of this dead season.
HARD STORY. New York cor
respondent OF the Philadelphia Dis
patch gets off the following: D., f.
s'But, while on the subject of wo-
man, let me ask If you have noticed
the female burglar, who has been
distinguishing herself in this quarter?
OF course, you have read Of such
Amazons in the cheap novel depart
ment of literature, and you have
imagined stalwart lady, dressed in
the most fashionable manner, with q
Jockey hat and rooster feather, per-
haps, or black velvet saque and Ella
borately trimmed petticoat, accosting
you in Broadway, inviting you to o
palatial mansion up the Fifth Avenue,
aud when you are fully intoxicated
with her loveliness and her Madeira,
placing a pistol mouth at your sinci-
put and demanding your loose cash
or loose existence. Well, I don't al
lude to any such specimen of femi-
nine irresistibility, but with woman
who actually opens locks and breaks
windows, to effect an entrance into o
dwelling, helps herself with choice
nonchalance to every thing valuable she
encounters, except the gentlemen,
and flies from them like al Atalanta.
eve have just such a scritter' in
this city. She was pointed out to me
by detective, the other day, and is
really a good looking person. Her
face is prepossessing, and its express
sion truly modest. Her figure is
light and graceful. Her entire ap-
pearance is pleasing, and she is about
the last person you would suspect Of
an impropriety. Moreover, she is
an exemplary creature, as far as chas-
tity is concerned, and cannot be ac-
cused of indulging in the slightest
familiarity with the opposite sex.
one HAS u ucaL baSIe IN ureSS, TOO,
AID costumes herself with decided
comeliness. saaas all loud display or
fashy ornament. Still, she is an in
corrigible thief, and her audacity as
burglar is only accounted for by the
fact that, as woman, she can do
many things without suspicion, that
would riyet attention on man, and
lead to placing over his movements
the closest espionage. If she meets
another woman in house she has
entered, she throttles her on the in
slant and leaves her insensible; but
she is afraid of a man. Never having
been married, she has not gotten rid
of her sex's natural timidy in that re-
spect. She endeavors, therefore, to
avoid the boots and beaver grades,
and confines her depredations to To-
cahties in which they are not SO
likely to be encountered She is a
novelty, you may depend. Now that
she is spotted, however, she willno
long be out of Sing Sing
