An american Fast Woman In Paris.

A New York correspondent of the
Rochester Union, says:
A curious finale to the career of a
very fast and not very prudent fine la
dy in Paris was mentioned the other
Gay by a lady recently from that me-
tropolis of worldly enjoyment, Mrs.
NJ had run through call that was
gay and new" in New York, and in Par
is had given our late Minister, Mr.. Day
ton. not little trouble by frequent APP
phcatiohs for pecuniary aid. Changing
her lodgings, she found in a bureau
drawer Of her new residence some shares
in stock, high in value. She probably
knew of the existence of law In Paris,
making it penal offence, punishable
with Imprisonment, or the galleys, to
use anything found, not having deliv-
cred 1t TO the police that the owner
might be discovered. Mrs. NJ un-
scrupulously negotiated the shares, re-
alizing 10000 francs. This sum sup
piled her extravagant wants for four
months, and was spent in dinners,
drives and Gayety generally. The beau
tful queen of pleasure also procured
many new dresses and some jewelry.
The money was exhausted, when the
loser of the stock by accident discover
ed who had negotiated the shares He
demanded reimbursement; the lady de-
MED all knowledge of the transaction.
But the fraud was proved; she was
tried and sentenced to to st. Lazare for
six months. Her beautiful hair was
shaver, and she was put to hard work,
her delicate hands having never before
to do more than hirt a
fan. Even in the coarse conviet's dress
and cap, her beauty was undeniable, and
set off by a native coquetry, had it's
wonted me- gical influence on the Off
Gals, from whom she won many indul-
gences denied to other prisoners
Many Americans in Paris visited her
